Chapter 562 : Chapter 62 : It's a good idea to have a chat
Chapter 562:Chapter 62:Have a leisurely chat to make good plans
Zuo Aoran ordered Guan Hai, Zong Bao, Pei Yuanshao, Liu Hu, Zuo Aozu (Huang Zu), and Zhang Chun (now that the world was in chaos, his name was restored) to lead the retreat. Zuo Aoran himself came to the rear.
Cao Cao had no intention of pursuing him, but he had to take precautions.
Let's talk about seeing Xiahou Yuan being captured alive by Zuo Aoran, and Dian Wei being called back to the formation by Cao Cao. The expressions of all the generals changed drastically. Needless to say, the martial arts of the Xiahou brothers were among the best among Cao Cao's men. As for Dian Wei,
Wei, he was a powerful general born with divine power. Now things are good. All the Xiahou brothers have been defeated.
, the lord has no intention of marching, this...this...doesn't it mean that his side has been defeated?!
"My lord, this man is as brave as the flying general Lu Bu. He is invincible and must be outmaneuvered!" Guo Jia saw what Cao Cao was thinking and immediately said, "Although this man is pretending to be Zuo Aoran, he is still a subordinate of Kong Rong.
, I will definitely not embarrass the talented general, my lord, don’t worry.”
"The words of filial piety are very much in line with my wishes. We will retreat for the time being." Cao Cao ordered in a cold voice with a tense face.
To be honest, Cao Cao was extremely angry right now, but he had no choice but to do anything. Cao Cao saw the scene clearly. If Dian Wei dared to step forward, the general who called himself Zuo Aoran would definitely stab Xia Houyuan to death.
, and then stepped forward to fight. For the sake of Miao Cai's life, it was absolutely impossible for Cao Cao to send any more generals out of the battle, nor to use his troops to cover up the attack.
Now it seems that Cao Cao can only have a good talk with Kong Rong, but in this way, Xuzhou can no longer be captured. However, as long as the general is still there and the soldiers are united, this state and county can be captured later.
Before long, Cao Cao made up his mind and ordered him to return to the army.
After returning to Dazhai and entering the tent, Cao Cao summoned Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, do you have any plan to conquer the general who calls himself Zuo Aoran?"
Guo Jia heard the words and said: "We don't know the identity of this person, how can we talk about subduing him? And this person dares to call himself Grand Marshal Zuo Aoran, he must have some relationship with Zuo Aoran. It is difficult to act in a hurry, so why not redeem the talented person first?
It’s not too late to discuss this matter again.”
"What Fengxiao said is true. We will not attack Xuzhou City for the time being. We will wait for two days before making any plans." After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao ordered.
Xuzhou City
"My lord, Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan was captured. Xia Houyuanrang was seriously injured. The general who came out is the general Zuo Aoran of Beihai Kong Prefect's tent!" The spy sent by Chen Deng came back with great joy. This news was very important to Tao Qian and the soldiers and civilians in the city.
Come on, it's really great.
At that moment, Tao Qian was overjoyed. He looked around and said: "Kong Wenju is famous all over the world, and he has such a fierce general under his command. Xuzhou has no worries! Huh? No, then... Grand Marshal Zuo, the commander of Prefect Kong..."
"Report...report...report...Lord, the four gates reported that Cao Cao's army has withdrawn twenty miles and camped, and will no longer besieging the city!" Everyone was sighing, and Cao Bao went back and forth to report.
"It seems that Cao's army will not come to attack the city in the near future." Chen Deng knew what was going on when he heard this. He laughed and said: "It must be that the Xiahou brothers were defeated and Cao's army lost its spirit. That's why. Congratulations!
Sir, the siege of Xuzhou will be lifted soon!" Everyone was overjoyed. Tao Qian wanted to order someone to have a drink to celebrate, but Mi Zhu stopped him. During the Tao war, drinking was not good, so he gave up.
Let's talk about Zuo Aoran and his party returning to the main formation. This made Kong Rong, who was staying in the Chinese military tent and drinking constantly, very happy. He hurriedly came out of the tent and saw Zuo Aoran, Guan Hai, Zong Bao and other guards.
When Xia Houyuan came, Kong Rong immediately stepped forward and said with a smile: "Marshal Zuo, the power of this battle will definitely be praised by the people and be passed down to future generations!"
Zuo Aoran raised his hands in courtesy and said: "We all rely on the soldiers' lives to win." After a pause, he continued: "Kong Beihai, this is the general of Cao Ying who was captured alive by me. Since we are going to fight under the banner of the prefect, please invite me."
Kong Beihai condemned this person."
"Okay! You Zuo Aoran, you are killing someone with a borrowed knife! Let me kill General Cao Cao and let me be at odds with Cao Cao, hehe! You have made a good plan!" Kong Rong rolled his eyes and looked at Xia Houyuan carefully.
, Kong Rong always felt that this person looked very familiar, so he immediately asked: "Who is the general? This prefect looks very familiar!"
"I am Xiahou Yuan, a native of Qiao County, and Xiahou Miaocai. In the past, when twenty princes were attacking Dong, I followed my lord and met him several times." Xiahou Yuan replied coldly. This is also because Kong Rong is
A celebrity, otherwise Xia Houyuan wouldn't bother to talk to him.
"Oh?! It turns out to be General Miaocai!" Kong Rong suddenly realized, and then he remembered that when he followed Cao Cao, he was a kinsman general under Cao Cao, so he felt familiar, and immediately said: "Marshal Zuo, I am Miaocai
General, I beg you to please untie General Miaocai."
When Zuo Aoran saw what Kong Rong said, he immediately stepped forward and personally untied Xia Houyuan. As for the judge who said that he was not afraid of Xia Houyuan running away? You must know that Zuo Aoran is known as being invincible on horseback.
His kung fu is not bad. Besides, in the camp, Xia Houyuan is bare-handed. Even if he wants to escape, he must have the opportunity!
Therefore, Xia Houyuan did not resist, and allowed Zuo Aoran to loosen the rope, and then whispered: "Thank you!" But he didn't know whether he was thanking Zuo Aoran for not killing him, or whether Zuo Aoran was thanking him when the sergeant tied him up.
He told Xiu to humiliate him, or it was Zuo Aoran who untied the rope for him, or it was Kong Rong's intercession.
Zuo Aoran originally cherished Xia Houyuan for his martial arts skills, but now that he saw Xia Houyuan thanking him in a low voice, he felt that this man was very knowledgeable about etiquette, and he felt a little better at that moment. At this time, Kong Rong said again: "Let's have a banquet for the talented general."
Shocked." As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Rong entered the tent first, Zuo Aoran extended his hand to invite Xia Houyuan to enter the tent with him, and Zong Bao, Guan Hai and others followed closely behind.
When everyone entered the tent and sat down, a sergeant served a banquet. Kong Rong raised his glass and invited everyone to drink with him. Zuo Aoran said that drinking was not allowed in the army, and he still had to patrol the camp to avoid it. Kong Rong looked unhappy.
However, Zong Bao had a good look and hurriedly raised his glass to drink together. Zuo Aoran signaled Guan Hai and others to raise their glasses, and Kong Rong became happy. As for Xia Houyuan, he didn't say a word. Kong Rong persuaded him to drink, which was fine.
Shit, everyone pushed cups and changed cups, and for a while, they were very happy.
After the banquet, Kong Rong fell drunk, so Zong Bao ordered the sergeant to help Kong Rong down to rest. He personally led the sergeant to place Xia Houyuan in a tent, arranged for the sergeant to get a bucket of water for him to take a bath, and got some clothes ready.
, Anyway, it was a good time to serve. As for Guan Hai and others, they were all a little drunk. Zuo Aoran naturally asked everyone to return to the camp to rest, and did not mention the arrangements for the patrol when he returned to the camp.
The next day, when the sky was bright, Zuo Aoran came to Kong Rong's camp and entered Kong Rong's tent, intending to fight under his banner again. Kong Rong had already sobered up and heard that Zuo Aoran invited him to fight together again.
, immediately shook his head and said: "Marshal Zuo, Cao Mengde has so many talents that he cannot win in one battle, not to mention that he suffered a big loss yesterday. There must be arrangements for today. If you rest for a few days, it will not be too late to advance again." After speaking,
No matter how Zuo Aoran invited him, he just refused.
