"Xuande!"
Cao Cao opened his arms and laughed.
Today, he was wearing a furry cloak and looked extremely mighty. He was not tall, but his aura was so great that Liu Bei did not dare to bow to him immediately.
Instead, he bowed deeply from afar.
"Xuande greets Lord Sikong."
"Hmph hmph hmph…"
Cao Cao laughed heartily, patting Liu Bei on the shoulder before pulling him into his embrace. He said in a familiar tone,""There's no need for this between us. We were comrades who fought side by side back then, and we've been brothers for life and death since a long time ago.”
Liu Bei was speechless.
He had a problem, especially when Cao Cao spoke so straightforwardly. It immediately made Liu Bei think of Xu Zhen. He must have deliberately led Cao Cao to Xu Zhen, which was why he said that.
"I don't understand. What is Sikong referring to?”
"You don't understand?"
Cao Cao was stunned, then he immediately looked at the strategist behind him," Where's Bo Wen?”
" They went to urge the army," Cheng Yu, who had also followed them, said indifferently.
Cheng Yu was one of the people who had fought alongside Xun Yu when they were defending Yanzhou. Of course, he admired Xu Zhen for leaving behind a brilliant plan to stabilize Yanzhou.
Otherwise, who knew how much suffering they would have to go through, and even their lives would be in danger.
It was indeed Xu Zhen.
Upon hearing this name, Liu Bei's heart was filled with mixed feelings.
"Bo Wen, Bo Wen is with Si Kong?"
Although Liu Bei knew what was going on in his heart, he was still extremely shocked.
"Bowen left without saying goodbye that day. I missed him for a long time and searched everywhere, but I couldn't find any trace of him!”
"Oh?"
Cao Cao was stunned. Leaving without saying goodbye?
That's not what Xu Zhen told me.
"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"
Cao Cao frowned and asked.
"I don't know either. After that, I asked many times, but I didn't know the reason why he left. He was dissatisfied with Sikong. Bowen was young, ten years younger than me, but I felt like talking to him was like bathing in the spring breeze. I benefited a lot from him, and I've already treated him as a friend regardless of age.”
"It's a pity that my luck wasn't good. When I was in Gaotang, I was defeated by raiders and many of my brothers died. At that time, there was almost a mutiny in the army.”
"Hahaha!"
Cao Cao grabbed Liu Bei's hand and said generously,""How can a real man be concerned about this matter? War is nothing more than victory and defeat. Regardless of victory and defeat, it is a common thing for soldiers.”
"You can ask in my army. When I was chasing Dong Zhuo, I was defeated by Xu Rong at the Bian River. I lost more than eight thousand cavalry and my benefactor Wei Zi.”
"Uh, Sikong…is a hero of the current era, and he uses troops like a god. How would I dare to compare with Sikong?”Liu Bei was very humble.
However, he felt that it was extremely dangerous.
Unknowingly, they had already walked into the main tent of the army.
Cao Cao also had a strange feeling.
He always felt that no matter how much he talked to Liu Bei, he was like a seamless egg that had no idea where to break open.
Of these two formidable figures, one was good at attacking the heart while the other was good at hiding it.
They had already exchanged blows to test each other.
However, the result was that he was not arrogant at all and was extremely domineering.
One was to hide his strength and bide his time, and was invulnerable.
Cheng Yu was stunned.
……
Not long after, Liu Bei looked at the sand table and map in the army tent. He knew that they were going to station their troops in the north and take care of a small path north of Shouchun.
If the city was opened, this would be the only way out. Yuan Shu would definitely escape to the north.
He had no choice.
Therefore, he needed Liu Bei's troops to monitor Yuan Shu at all times. Once he found Yuan Shu, he would immediately behead him and return to Xuchang to worship heaven.
Speaking of this, they had to talk about grain.
"Brother Xuande, how much rations did you bring with you?”
Liu Bei sighed and smiled bitterly,""I have less than eight thousand soldiers, so I naturally can't bring too much food. I only have five thousand dans, and this was given to me by the Governor of the North Sea, Kong Rong.”
"Otherwise, I would have to beg for food along the way.”
Cao Cao immediately backed off and understood why Xu Zhen hated Liu Bei.
"I see. Brother Xuande, you brought 800 men here for free.”
Cao Cao nodded in agreement, causing Liu Bei to be stunned.
"What do you mean, free?"
"Yes, Bowen gave me the vocabulary. If you have the chance in the future, you can ask him yourself.”
Cao Cao grinned.
Liu Bei felt sad again.
At this moment, the sound of quarreling suddenly came from outside the military tent. Third Brother's loud voice was quickly blown into the tent by the wind.
"Hey! Tell me, was the ambush outside Xuzhou done by you?! You damned thief! Ambush me, Zhang Fei!"
"I shouldn't have let you go that day! I should kill you with a fork!!!”
Liu Bei and Cao Cao were shocked.
The two of them hurriedly ran out, only to see Zhang Fei's 18-foot-long Snake Spear and a fierce man's twin halberds that were also like iron towers.
In the past, his third brother's brute strength was actually unable to gain the slightest advantage in front of this burly man.
In fact, that fierce general could even reveal a relaxed expression. He stared at Zhang Fei with a bloodthirsty gaze, as if his battle intent had been aroused.
On the other hand, his third brother was furious.
"You're still so rude. Be careful not to be beheaded by your own people in the future.”
"Bah! How would I dare to have such a person in my army!"
Zhang Fei was angered by Xu Zhen's nonchalant attitude, but his hands were restrained by Dian Wei and could not move at all.
Guan Yu narrowed his eyes and carefully sized up Dian Wei. This person's courage was not inferior to his third brother's. He did not know if his martial arts were superb, but when he sized him up, a silver-robed general beside Xu Zhen was also sizing him up.
His gaze seemed to be very unfriendly.
What?
Guan Yu suddenly felt it and turned his head to see a general with red lips and white teeth staring at him.
He also saw the long spear in his hand. The patterns on it were bright silver like phoenix wings. It was incomparably exquisite. He must be an extremely skilled martial artist.
Although he was skinny, there were many calluses on his hands. He might be a powerful figure, but it seemed that he was also a fierce general.
This person was not to be underestimated.
" Third Brother, put down your weapons!!!"
Liu Bei immediately shouted. This shout caused Xu Zhen to turn his head slightly and reveal a smile.
"Long time no see, Duke Xuande."
"Bowen, Bowen…"
Liu Bei's hands trembled as he subconsciously took a step forward. His eyes were filled with sincerity as he excitedly rushed to Xu Zhen.
Just as she was about to grab his hands, Xu Zhen took half a step back and raised his hand."Hey, don't be like this."
"Duke Xuande, don't be so intimate. I'm afraid Sikong will misunderstand.”
Kacha!
A thunderbolt struck Liu Bei's heart.
I'm afraid that Sikong will misunderstand…
Aiyo, I, I have heartache…
Liu Bei's face twitched, his heart beat faster, and his blood surged. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Bowen, you, you took half a step back, are you serious!
Such a small action could cause so much damage.
