"Impossible! How did Cao Ang know I was back?"
"Could it be that someone leaked the news?"
Zhang Xiu had some doubts at that time, but he couldn't think too much about it now.
Zhang Xiu immediately led his troops to break out of the encirclement. Under the cover of the enemy, he led a group of elite soldiers and charged out.
"Charge, kill that thief Cao!"
"Kill that bastard Cao!"
Zhang Xiu shouted as he charged towards Cao Cao's mansion.
"Whoever kills Cao Cao will be rewarded with a hundred acres of land! A hundred taels of gold!"
Zhang Xiu's words made the elites instantly charge forward as if they were injected with chicken blood.
However, just as they approached Cao Cao's residence.
A general jumped out, followed by countless elite soldiers.
"Dian Wei is here! Who dares to harm my lord!"
For a time, the two sides fought.
Zhang Xiu was brave and charged forward.
However, Dian Wei was the enemy of ten thousand people.
They were guarding Cao Cao's mansion.
Cao Cao was awakened by the battle cries and stood in his room, burning with anxiety.
"What happened? Could it be that Liu Biao has come to help?"
"That shouldn't be. How did he come so quickly?”
Cao Cao was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth with anxiety.
Outside the residence, Zhang Xiu was cursing anxiously.
He had never thought that Cao Cao's security would be even tighter than Cao Ang's.
After Cao Ang's side was done, the main force began to move towards Cao Cao's residence.
Dian Wei's side was even more beaten until Zhang Xiu was unable to hold on, being attacked from both front and back.
The surprise attack that Zhang Xiu had imagined was suppressed in less than two hours.
After Zhang Xiu was vindicated, Cao Cao was then asked to leave the mansion.
They escorted him back to the military camp.
Along the way, there were corpses everywhere. Cao Cao was terrified.
If not for Cao Ang and Dian Wei's ample preparation, Cao Cao would have been beheaded by now!
This was something that Cao Cao had never expected.
After escaping death, Cao Cao specially prepared a celebratory feast for Cao Ang and Dian Wei.
At the banquet, Cao Cao still hadn't woken up from his shock.
"Sigh! If it weren't for Cao Ang and Dian Wei, I would have died here!”
"Come, I'll toast you!"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and raised his wine cup to toast Cao Ang and Dian Wei.
Seeing this, the two of them quickly stood up.
"Thank you, my lord!"
Cao Cao waved his hand." I should be the one thanking you. Today, the two of you have made a great contribution!"”
"However, I don't understand one thing. How did you prepare so well?”
"Even someone as fierce as Zhang Xiu couldn't gain the slightest advantage?”
When the two of them heard this, they looked at each other and took out the brocade bags in their pockets.
"Replying to my lord, actually, today is all thanks to the state preceptor!”
"Before we sent out our troops, we had warned that if the lord was unlucky enough to get a wife, we had to open the brocade bag!”
Cao Ang said.
"That's right!" Dian Wei sat on the ground casually.
"It was the Imperial Tutor who reminded us that Zhang Xiu was going to betray us. We knew that the Lord was in trouble, so we were able to prepare in advance and quietly.”
"Otherwise, Zhang Xiu has so many people, I, Dian Wei, will be loyal to the lord first!”
Cao Cao hurriedly toasted.
"My beloved general and my beloved son have suffered!”
Cao Ang smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, we didn't believe it at first.”
"After all, what the state preceptor said is too uncertain.”
"He even said that he would wait until Father gets a wife.”
"However, it's better to take precautions before they happen.”
"I really didn't expect the state preceptor to guess everything correctly!”
Dian Wei nodded in agreement.
Everyone sighed.
A moment later, Cao Cao suddenly laughed.
"I see!"
"Imperial Preceptor is talented, but I'm stupid!”
When Cao Ang and Dian Wei heard this, they were slightly stunned.
"Father (Lord), what do you mean?”
Cao Cao shook his head as he took out a brocade pouch from his pocket.
"Imperial Preceptor gave me a brocade pouch and asked me to open it after I was done. Do you know what was written on it?”
The two shook their heads.
"Don't provoke other people's wives!"
"Imperial Preceptor told me not to provoke other people's wives!"
"At that time, I thought that Imperial Preceptor was reminding me not to indulge in women.”
"Now I understand. State Preceptor said not to let me provoke Zhang Xiu's aunt!”
"It was because I provoked Zhang Xiu's aunt that Zhang Xiu was forced to betray me!”
"I was wrong!"
Cao Cao took a deep breath and raised his cup.
"Imperial Preceptor, you have divine foresight. Not only did you predict that I would provoke Zhang Xiu's aunt and force Zhang Xiu to betray us.”
"You also calculated that I wouldn't listen to the brocade bag.”
"That's why Imperial Preceptor gave you two a brocade pouch.”
"If I provoke Madam Zou, you can open the brocade bag and arrange it in advance to protect me!”
"I was lucky to have the protection of the Imperial Preceptor, so I was able to be safe when I was bewitched!”
Cao Cao stood up and raised his wine cup in the direction of Xudu.
"Imperial Preceptor, I toast you!"
Following that, Cao Ang, Dian Wei, Cao Anmin, and the other generals also stood up and raised their wine cups.
"We thank Imperial Preceptor for saving our lives!”
In this battle, Cao Cao, Dian Wei, and Cao Ang all admired Ye Bei.
"Imperial Preceptor, this person is indeed the Sage of Scheming.”
"The skill can predict Zhang Xiu's surrender, and also predict Zhang Xiu's betrayal. Who would be able to predict such a divine armament if not an immortal?”
"Most importantly, during the battle of Wan City, the Imperial Preceptor was far away in Xudu. These things were already calculated a few days ago!”
"The top knows for five thousand years, and the bottom knows for five thousand years. Omniscient and omnipotent, you deserve it!"
After a night, Cao Cao reorganized his army, leaving Cao Anmin and Cao Ang to guard Wan City.
Then, he brought Dian Wei back to Xu City.
When the citizens of Xudu saw Cao Cao return victorious, they all welcomed him.
"The King of Wei is back!"
"The King of Wei won!"
"As expected of our King of Wei!"
Cao Cao sat in the sedan chair and listened to the cheers of the people. He felt a little ashamed. Then, he waved his hand and called Dian Wei in.
Dian Wei lowered his head and whispered a few words before nodding.
"The victory of the King of Wei is all thanks to the Imperial Tutor's guidance.”
"The King of Wei has ordered for a night celebration in the capital!”
Then, the people cheered.
"Ye Qing! Great, there's a night market tonight!"
"And it's the entire Xu Capital!"
"The battle at Wan City was actually helped by the state preceptor. The state preceptor is too powerful!”
"The state preceptor is mighty!"
"I heard that the state preceptor is very young. He's only in his twenties. I don't know if he's married!”
......
Finally, Cao Cao returned to the palace. At this moment, the officials were already waiting in front of the palace to celebrate.
However, Cao Cao did not go to the main hall. Instead, he changed into plain clothes and brought Dian Wei to the Imperial Advisor's residence!
At this time, Guo Jia, Jia Xu, Sima Yi and other civil officials.
Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, and the other generals were also guests at the Imperial Advisor's Residence, studying the military formation.
Seeing Cao Cao arrive, he quickly stood up.
"Welcome, Lord!"
Cao Cao glanced at the officials and couldn't help but feel curious when he saw that Ye Bei wasn't there.
"Where did the state preceptor go?"
Cao Cao asked softly.
