After keeping the thought of marrying his daughter to Zhuge Mu in mind, Cao Cao turned to look at Guo Jia and Xun You.
"Fengxiao, Gongda, and Shuzhi!”
"Let's go!"
"The three of you will follow me into Dingxiang City. I heard that Bu Dugen's throne is made of pure gold, but I don't know if it's true!”
Cao Cao teased the dead Bu Dugen for a while before taking the lead and walking towards Dingxiang City, which had already been conquered by Huang Xu.
When Xun You saw this, he shook his head and followed.
On the contrary, Zhuge Mu deliberately lagged behind and came to Guo Jia's side, saying to him,""Fengxiao, why did you come!"
Guo Jia's appearance was out of Zhuge Mu's expectations.
He didn't expect that with the warning he had given before the expedition, Guo Jia would still follow Cao Cao to the battlefield.
Could it be that the genius Guo Fengxiao was destined to die in this expedition?
Guo Jia understood the meaning behind Zhuge Mu's words, but he still said with a carefree expression,""Shuzhi, if you are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish? The bitterness you speak of may not be the pleasure of the king.”
Perhaps it was because of the cold in the grassland, Guo Jia untied the leather wine bag tied to his waist and drank a mouthful of wine.
"Burp!"
Guo Jia let out a breath of alcohol and waved the wine bag in his hand at Zhuge Mu.
"Shuzhi, do you want a bite?"
"A famous general is matched with good wine, and after the war, good wine is needed to nourish the liver and gall!”
"Tsk tsk, this is the good wine that Lord Jia Sui specially ordered people to get from the Drunken Spring Restaurant in Xu City before the expedition. We drank a lot along the way, and there really isn't much left now.”
On the way to Dingxiang City with Cao Cao, Guo Jia tempted Zhuge Mu with the wine in his hand.
Zhuge Mu naturally wouldn't stand on ceremony with a wastrel like Guo Jia. He snatched the wine bag from Guo Jia's hands.
Then, under his stunned gaze, he opened his mouth and drank it in one gulp.
The alcohol content of the wine during the Three Kingdoms period was not high. After drinking it, Zhuge Mu felt that his mouth was no longer so thirsty.
After drinking, Zhuge Mu said to Guo Jia,"Although I don't know why you insist on doing this, Mu still sincerely hopes that you can listen to my advice!”
"This trip ends here."
Zhuge Mu spoke very slowly, and his eyes did not hide his concern for his good friend Guo Jia.
How could Guo Jia not notice this? This made his heart feel slightly warm.
However, on the surface, Guo Jia pretended to be unhappy and said to Zhuge Mu,"Since you are so worried about me, why don't I let my eldest son Guo Yi acknowledge you as his foster father one day?”
Guo Jia's words caused Zhuge Mu's body to tremble.
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Guo Jia insisted on following Cao Cao despite his warnings.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Mu was silent for a moment before nodding his head gently.
"Good!"
There were no promises or promises.
It was just an ordinary "good".
After saying that, Zhuge Mu did not look at Guo Jia's expression and immediately chased after Cao Cao.
"This brat!"
"I really don't know what to say!”
Guo Jia looked at Zhuge Mu's back and scolded him with a smile, but deep in his eyes, there was a strong sense of relief.
It was as if he understood the meaning behind Zhuge Mu's words…
Just now, Zhuge Mu had also heard the meaning in his tone.
The word "good"!
Even Zhuge Mu's promise to Guo Fengxiao was his answer.
One word was worth a thousand words!
But it's worth thousands of gold.
"Fine, I'll fight for it before I die…"
Guo Jia muttered softly.
A gust of wind blew over and scattered his unfinished words.。
……
Three days later.
After chasing the defeated Xianbei army for over a thousand miles, the Han soldiers had killed countless of them.
Under the leadership of their respective generals, they returned to Dingxiang City one after another.
At this moment, the main tent was bustling with activity.
"Reporting to my lord, after the Xianbei army was defeated, I chased north for three hundred miles and killed more than ten thousand Xianbei soldiers along the way!”
"We seized a hundred thousand cows, sheep, and warhorses along the way.”
Xiahou Dun stepped forward and said excitedly.
However, before Xiahou Dun could finish, a voice interrupted him.
"Yuan Rang, you've only chased me for 300 miles, and you still have the cheek to show off!”
"Aren't you afraid that everyone will laugh at you?"
Zhang Liao stepped forward and cupped his fists at Cao Cao, who was sitting at the head of the table."Reporting to my lord, I have chased the enemy for over a thousand miles in three days, killing at least 20,000 Xianbei soldiers and seizing countless horses, cattle, and sheep!”
"Other than the ones I brought back today, there are still more than half of the cattle and sheep on the way back.”
"Wen Yuan, you said that you killed 20,000 people, but I, Xiahou Dun, believed you. But you chased the enemy for thousands of miles in three days.”Xiahou Dun opened his mouth. He was clearly unhappy that Zhang Liao had killed more enemies than him.
"Is that so?"
Faced with Xiahou Dun's doubts, Zhang Liao laughed and said,""Yuan Rang, if one of my men were to take turns to pursue me on three or even four horses…"
"Do you still think that it's impossible to chase after a thousand miles?”
Zhang Liao's words made Xiahou Dun speechless.
Because at this moment, he also realized that ever since the defeat of the two hundred thousand Xianbei soldiers, there was no shortage of ownerless warhorses on the battlefield.
Looking at Xiahou Dun's deflated appearance, not only the generals in the tent, but even Cao Cao shook his head, feeling helpless for his cousin.
This was because the troops Xiahou Dun had led in this battle were all infantry. In terms of chasing the enemy, they were naturally slower than Zhang Liao, Cao Chun, and the other generals who led the cavalry.
