After the sneak attack that night, the Yellow Turban army of the Changshe Society could be said to have been completely stunned. Although they still had some advantage over Fan Xing and the others in terms of numbers, they had been completely frightened by Fan Xing. Their original confidence had been completely shattered by Fan Xing. Bo Cai, who had escaped that night, had no choice but to retreat when he saw this. However, he did not realize that the young scholar beside him had disappeared.
The Yellow Turban Army easily withdrew, but there was no movement from Zhu Rong's side. In fact, Fan Xing really wanted to send troops to wipe them out in one fell swoop, but Huangfu Song was afraid that the Yellow Turban Army's retreat was a trap, so he did not let Fan Xing send troops. No matter how Fan Xing explained, he did not let Fan Xing send troops. Fan Xing could only gloomily watch the roast duck fly out of his mouth.
However, Fan Xing didn't blame Huangfu Song. After all, he was just thinking about his own safety. However, what Fan Xing was worried about now was how to deal with the 100,000 captives that he had sneaked that night. Originally, Huangfu Song wanted to kill all the captives; however, under Fan Xing's persuasion, Huangfu Song finally gave up the idea and handed them over to Fan Xing.
Fan Xing was worrying about how to arrange the 100,000 captives. He had to bring them back, but who should he send? Zhang Fei? Fan Xing thought about it and immediately gave up. It would be strange if Zhang Fei was willing to bring these captives back. Zhao Yun? This was not possible either. He still needed to lead the army. Guan Yu? With his arrogant personality, if Fan Xing asked him to go, he might fight him with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
Just as Fan Xing was thinking about how to deal with these captives, a soldier suddenly came in and saluted,""My lord, there's a man called Zhao Wu outside the camp who wishes to see you. He's also leading an army of about 2000 people.”Fan Xing was in the midst of his frustration when he suddenly heard the soldier's report. He immediately laughed, but the soldier was so frightened by Fan Xing's smile that he stood there motionless.
Fan Xing quickly came back to his senses. Seeing the soldier's dazed expression, he smiled and said,""Alright, go invite Zhao Wu in.”The soldier immediately recovered after hearing Fan Xing's words and ran out to invite Zhao Wu in.
Soon, the soldier brought Zhao Wu in. When Zhao Wu saw Fan Xing, he immediately bowed and said,""I, Zhao Wu, pay my respects to my lord." Fan Xing waved his hand and gestured for Zhao Wu to sit down.""Have a seat, how are the three counties now?”Zhao Wu obviously knew that Fan Xing would ask these questions. He immediately reported everything that happened after Fan Xing left the three counties to Fan Xing. Fan Xing was satisfied with the information.
After hearing Zhao Wu's report, Fan Xing said to Zhao Wu,""Zhao Wu, you came at the right time. I happen to have a very important mission here, and I'm worried about who to send to complete it.”Zhao Wu immediately patted his chest and said to Fan Xing,""My lord, then let Zhao Wu handle the mission. Zhao Wu will definitely complete the mission.”It was a pity that Zhao Wu, who wanted to make a contribution, didn't notice the signature smile on Fan Xing's face. Otherwise, he would never have promised Fan Xing that.
Seeing that Zhao Wu wanted to accept this mission, Fan Xing asked,""Are you sure?" "Yes!" Zhao Wu replied firmly.”" Alright," Fan Xing said to Zhao Wu solemnly." I have 100,000 captives here. You'll be responsible for bringing them back to the three counties."”When Zhao Wu heard Fan Xing's mission, his face immediately turned bitter. He looked at Fan Xing pitifully, hoping that Fan Xing would take back the order. Fan Xing looked at Zhao Wu's " resentful " eyes and almost kicked him. Zhao Wu looked at Fan Xing's serious face and gave up.
Zhao Wu had brought 2000 people to support Fan Xing. He didn't expect to have to go back so soon. This made Zhao Wu very depressed. However, bringing those captives back to the three counties could be considered as a form of support.
After dealing with the issue of the prisoners, Fan Xing was very free now. If it wasn't for the fact that he wanted to see Cao Cao, he would have left with his army long ago.
Fortunately, a few days after Zhao Wu took the captives away, a spy came to report that an army was advancing. Fan Xing knew that it was Cao Cao.
A few days later, Huangfu Song and Zhu Rong were discussing where they should go to provide support when a soldier suddenly came to report that someone was seeking an audience. Huangfu Song was a little puzzled. Who would be seeking an audience at this time? However, he still let the soldier lead the person in.
Very soon, the soldier returned with three people following behind him. The moment the three of them saw Huangfu Song, they immediately bowed to him. Huangfu Song waved his hand, and the soldier tactfully left. Then, Huangfu Song looked at the three of them who stayed behind. The leader of the three left a deep impression on Huangfu Song. This person was seven feet tall, had thin eyes and a long beard, and his slightly narrowed eyes flickered from time to time. His appearance was filled with dignity, giving people a feeling of dignity without being angry. This was the second young man Huangfu Song had ever met who could make him feel like he had to submit to him. The first one was naturally Fan Xing. Who was this person?
Everyone knew that he was Cao Cao, and the two people behind him were the Xiahou brothers, Xiahou Dun, and Xiahou Yuan. Huangfu Song looked at this somewhat special youth and asked,""Who are you? Why have you come to see me?”Hearing this, Cao Cao immediately bowed and said," My surname is Cao Cao, and my name is Cao Cao. I'm Zi Mengde. I heard that the general is at a stalemate with the Yellow Turban Army here, so I've led my troops here to support you."”
Huangfu Song immediately understood after hearing Cao Cao's answer. He smiled and said,"Hehe, Meng De, you're a step too late. A few days ago, our army defeated the Yellow Turban bandits.”In fact, Huangfu Song would have chased Cao Cao out in anger if he had answered Cao Cao like that in the past, because Huangfu Song was a person who cared about his reputation. Cao Cao's answer was actually indirectly saying that Huangfu Song was not good at leading troops. However, because he had defeated the Yellow Turban Army a few days ago, Huangfu Song was in a good mood and did not care about what Cao Cao said.
Cao Cao was also very depressed at this time. He had heard that Huangfu Song was at a stalemate with the Yellow Turban Army in Changshe, so he had specially come to support him. He wanted to perform well in front of Huangfu Song so that Huangfu Song could promote him. Who knew that when he came here, there was no longer a stalemate. Now that Huangfu Song confirmed that he had defeated the Yellow Turban Army, he couldn't help but feel a little dejected. He had lost a chance to perform well, but Cao Cao immediately recovered. Then he asked Huangfu Song,"How did you defeat the enemy, General?"”
Huangfu Song couldn't help but blush when he heard Cao Cao's question. After all, he wasn't the one who broke the Yellow Turban. However, the lighting in the camp wasn't very good, so no one noticed his abnormality. Huangfu Song immediately regained his composure. Seeing that Cao Cao and the others did not notice his strange behavior, he relaxed and said to Cao Cao,"Actually, it wasn't my credit for defeating the Yellow Turban Army this time, but someone else.”
When Cao Cao heard that the person who defeated the Yellow Turban was not Huangfu Song but someone else, he immediately became interested in that person and quickly asked,"May I ask who that person is?" "That person is Fan Xing," Huangfu Song said with a smile.”When Cao Cao heard that it was Fan Xing who had defeated the Yellow Turban Army, he wanted to befriend him. He immediately said to Huangfu Song,""I wonder if General can introduce us?”
At this moment, a soldier outside the tent shouted,""General Fan requests an audience." Huangfu Song smiled and said,"You came at the right time."”"Please come in, General Fan."”
The moment Cao Cao arrived at Huangfu Song's camp, Fan Xing had already received the news. Thus, he immediately went to Huangfu Song's camp to meet the ambitious Cao Cao.
