After a while, Wen Chou walked into the tent with Dian Wei, who was already bandaged, and bowed respectfully to Gao Fei who was sitting in the tent: "My lord, General Dian Wei is here."
"General Dian Wei, please sit down!" Gao Fei raised his hand and motioned for Dian Wei to sit down.
Dian Wei's left arm was now wrapped with a bandage. The bandage had already been stained with blood, but he did not feel awkward at all because of the injury. He gave Gao Fei a fist and said, "Thank you, King Yan."
Gao Fei saw Dian Wei sitting down and said to Wen Chou, "Sit down too!"
"promise!"
Wen Chou sat opposite Dian Wei, one on the left and the other on the right, but his eyes were always fixed on Dian Wei. Although Dian Wei without weapons no longer posed much of a threat, he always believed that Dian Wei was like this
He is definitely a dangerous person. Therefore, he is always vigilant, fearing that Dian Wei will do something detrimental to Gao Fei.
As soon as Dian Wei sat down, he vaguely felt something strange. Seeing Wen Chou staring at him as if he was guarding against thieves, while Gao Fei had an expressionless face, he took the initiative and said: "Since His Highness King Yan has returned safely, I think
It’s time for Dian to say goodbye..."
"Um... General Dian Wei is injured. He shouldn't overwork himself. Why don't he just rest in peace and recuperate in the Yan Army's camp. When the injury gets better, it won't be too late to go back." Gao Fei had expected this and said slowly.
"Thank you very much, King Yan, for your kindness. Dian understands it. But I have to go back to protect my king, so I will stay here soon."
When Gao Fei saw Dian Wei getting up to leave, he hurriedly said: "General Dian, letting you stay and recuperate is exactly what your king wants. Do you want to disobey your king's order?"
Dian Wei asked suspiciously: "Is it the intention of my king to let me stay?"
Gao Fei nodded and said: "Yes. I told Brother Meng De everything about you. After Brother Meng De knew that you were injured, he was very concerned about you, so he asked me to tell you so that you could be born in my life."
Recuperate in the military camp, and it won’t be too late to go back when the injury is healed.”
Dian Wei remained silent, but secretly fell into deep thought.
Seeing Dian Wei's thoughtful look, Gao Fei said, "You don't have to think about it. I have reached an agreement with Brother Meng De. Now the Yan Army and the Wei Army are on the same front. You are in my military camp."
Here, you can treat this place as your home. Once you recover from your injuries, I will send someone to take you back as soon as possible."
Dian Wei said: "Since it is my king's wish, then Dian will naturally obey, but it may disturb King Yan."
"If you are a family, don't talk about two families. General Dian only needs to take care of his health. Wen Chou, send General Dian Wei down and take care of him."
Wen Chou stood up, clasped his fists and said, "No!"
……………………
But it was said that when Cao Cao returned to the camp, it was already dark.
Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin and others all stayed up all night and stayed in front of the gate of the camp, looking into the distance, looking forward to Cao Cao's return.
When everyone saw Cao Cao galloping over on his Jueying horse, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, opened the gate of the village, and led the soldiers to line up to welcome him.
Xu Shu walked at the front of the team, followed closely by Cao Ren, Cao Hong and others. The soldiers lined up on both sides of the village gate, looking very majestic. Everyone said in unison: "Welcome the king!"
Cao Cao reined in the horse, dismounted, and threw the reins away. Immediately, a soldier came up and held the Jueying horse. He glanced around Xu Shu and the others, and asked, "Have you all been up all night?"
Xu Shu first replied: "Your Majesty has not returned, and I and others cannot sleep at night."
Cao Cao smiled and said: "There is nothing to worry about. I just went to see an old friend."
Xu Shu said: "Your Majesty, I have heard the whole story described by General Zixiao. I can't figure it out. Does your Majesty want to unite with Ma Chao to deal with Gao Fei, or does he want to unite with Gao Fei to deal with Ma Chao?"
Cao Cao looked at the young Xu Shu standing in front of him and thought slowly in his heart: "Yuan Zhi is still too young and has not enough experience. If Xi Zhicai is by my side, he should be able to see through my thoughts. What a pity...
"
"No one will unite, no one will deal with them, let Ma Chao and Gao Fei go as hard as they can, we have other things to do." Cao Cao said as he walked towards the camp.
Cao Ren asked in confusion: "Your Majesty, what are we going to do? Are we going to bypass Ma Chao and snatch the Emperor over?"
"Zixiao's plan is feasible, but what we have to do is far more important than robbing the emperor..." Cao Cao gave up.
"There is something more important than robbing the emperor...what is it?" Cao Hongla asked with a long face, unable to think of a reason.
Cao Cao said: "The Emperor is just a decoration, there is nothing to grab. Even if you grab it, the Emperor will become a hot potato, and someone else will definitely come to declare war on Wei in the name of King Qin..."
"Your Majesty's analysis is very reasonable. I am completely impressed by it!" Cao Ren said truthfully.
"Your Majesty, if we don't want to fight for the emperor anymore, then what are we going to do? Is it possible to retreat and return to Chenliu?" Cao Hong's temper was not very good. After hearing what Cao Cao said, he asked.
Unknowingly, Cao Cao walked into the tent, sat there, and looked around at Xu Shu, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Li Dian, Le Jin, Yu Jin and others who followed him into the tent.
Said: "You all should sit down."
Everyone sat down one after another. When they saw Cao Cao holding the token, they knew that Cao Cao was about to issue an order, and there was excitement on their faces.
"Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Yu Jin!" Cao Cao shouted in one breath.
"I'm waiting!" Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Yue Jin, and Yu Jin replied in unison.
Cao Cao grabbed five tokens, held them tightly in his hand, and said slowly: "From today onwards, the five of you will each lead ten thousand people, and go to the stronghold five miles apart, and arrange the front and rear.
, there are five camps on the left, right and in the middle, Cao Ren is in front, Cao Hong is in the back, Li Dian is on the left, Yue Jin is on the right, Yu Jin is in the middle, so that the five camps become horns to each other."
"promise!"
Seeing that they answered so cheerfully, Cao Cao gave each of the five people a token, and then continued: "Cao Chun, you lead the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to patrol back and forth between the five camps. Once any movement is detected,
, you can directly carry out the killing without having to report to me."
Cao Chundao: "No! However, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry has always lacked capable generals. I am just one person. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of him..."
Cao Cao heard the hidden meaning of Cao Chun's words, glanced at Cao Xiu who was standing next to Cao Chun, raised his finger and pointed at Cao Xiu and said: "Wen Lie, I will give you a chance today to appoint you as the deputy commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry.
, and Cao Chun respectively command the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, day and night alternate, there must be no mistakes, otherwise, I will never use you as a general again!"
After hearing this, Cao Xiu's face immediately filled with a smile, and he immediately clasped his fists and said, "Promise! I will definitely live up to your Majesty's love."
"Well, you all go down and get ready."
"promise!"
In just a moment, the big tent was empty, with only Xu Shu and Cao Cao left.
Cao Cao glanced at Xu Shu and asked, "Do you have anything on your mind?"
Xu Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, why didn't you see General Dian?"
After Xu Shu reminded Cao Cao, he immediately discovered that Dian Wei was missing. He thought about it carefully and said slowly: "Maybe it's still on the way. My king's Jueying horse is too fast and Dian Wei can't ride it."
The horses may not be able to keep up. Don’t worry, Dian Wei is very skilled in martial arts.
Qiang, nothing will happen. Maybe he will come back after dawn. Military advisor, go and get ready. You and I will go to see Ma Chao later. Based on my guess, Ma Chao will definitely agree to join forces with me today. In this way,
Come, I can make better use of Ma Chao."
After Xu Shu listened to Cao Cao's words, it wasn't until this moment that he truly understood what Cao Cao meant, and thought to himself: "It seems that the king really wants to have both sides, and then adds fuel and jealousy to reap the benefits..."
As the sky dimmed, Cao Cao took Xu Shu and a dozen of his followers and headed straight to the place he had made an appointment with Ma Chao yesterday.
When they arrived at the place, Ma Chao, Zhang Xiu, Wang Shuang, and Qian Hu had been waiting there for a long time, and they all looked a little impatient.
When Ma Chao saw Cao Cao coming with more than a dozen people, he felt unspeakable anger in his heart. When Cao Cao and others approached, he said angrily: "The dignified King of Wei does not keep his word at all, and his words are like farts.
What kind of king do you still want to be?”
When Cao Cao heard Ma Chao's angry words, he looked up at the sky. It was indeed past the appointment time. No wonder Ma Chao was so angry. However, he was not angry, but said with a smile: "I'm very sorry for keeping King Qin waiting for so long.
Already."
"Hmph! Now that we are here, let's make it clear. What you said yesterday, I have thought about it clearly when I went back and think you are reasonable. However, our Xiliang cavalry has not yet been assembled, and there are still some
It is still in Guanzhong, and it is difficult to transport food and grass, so it is not possible to start a war with the Yan army for the time being. What's more, this time Your Majesty summoned all the kings of the world to discuss important matters. If I take action when the kings of the dynasties meet the emperor, the people of the world will definitely
Swear at this king."
Cao Cao smiled and asked: "Then how will King Qin plan to get rid of Gao Fei?"
"Well, when Gao Fei goes to court to see the emperor, I am going to ask your majesty to arrest Gao Fei for the crime of disrespect, and then kill Gao Fei with the Han Dynasty Law. This way, it will be effortless." Ma Chao said.
.
"That's good, but Gao Fei is not a fool and will not give in easily. I do have a plan to get rid of Gao Fei..."
"Speak!" Ma Chao's eyes sparkled.
Cao Cao said: "Liu Bei, King of Chu, and Gao Fei have had a feud for a long time. If Liu Bei and Gao Fei meet, they will definitely hate each other. If the King of Qin further provokes them, the two of them will definitely go to war. In this way, the King of Qin will be able to use their crimes to cause chaos.
If Gao Fei is convicted and killed, why not?"
After hearing this, Ma Chao laughed and said: "Very good! I immediately sent someone to Jingzhou to urge Liu Bei to come and see the emperor as soon as possible. He said that the emperor wanted to see Liu Bei very much. As a descendant of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei will definitely come in person."
"The King of Qin is wise." Cao Cao praised.
Ma Chao said: "Cao Mengde, if Gao Fei dies, we will divide Hebei into two parts. Bingzhou, Youzhou, and the western part of Jizhou will belong to the king, and the eastern part of Jizhou and Qingzhou will belong to you. How about that?"
"It's a deal!" Cao Cao said solemnly.
"Okay, it's settled, let's take our leave." Ma Chao turned his horse's head and walked away with his men.
