【Chapter 699】
"You are still standing there, kill him quickly, and you can take revenge on the Lord's Counselor!"
Seeing Zhang Miao's head was cut off in front of him, blood spurted out from his broken neck splattered Cao Cao's face, he immediately shouted loudly, ordering Zhang Miao's personal soldiers and thousands of troops to intercept and kill General Yuan.
"Let's wait!" Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he saw another group of people running behind him. The leader was Chunyu Qiong, the general under Yuan Shao.
"Why did Meng De order the killing of our generals? Do you think our Jizhou army is easy to bully? If you want to kill them, you can kill them?"
Chunyu Qiong rode to Cao Cao's side with a horse, his tone was very bad, and he stared at Cao Cao with anger, as if he wanted Cao Cao to give him a satisfactory answer, otherwise he would never sit by and watch Cao Cao kill the generals of the Jizhou army wantonly.
Speaking of which, there is a reason why Chunyu Qiong dared to call Cao Cao in public. Back then, he and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Cao Cao had similar qualities, and often went to and from wine shops and fireworks and alleys together. They talked about friendship with each other and had a strong friendship. When Emperor Ling formed the eight schools of Xiyuan, he and Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and four others were both the eight school captains of Xiyuan; while Xu You was a guest under Yuan Shao's tent, and his status was still Under him, but since Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, the situation facing Chunyu Qiong took a sharp turn. Not only did he lose a battalion of troops in his hands, but his mansion was also confiscated by the Xiliang army, forcing him to jump over the wall and have to defect to Yuan Shao. In the past, Yuan Shao's follower Xu You jumped over the dragon gate and turned over and became a very relied strategist under Yuan Shao's tent, calling the wind and rain, and his power was beyond the reach of Chunyu Qiong.
There is another thing that must be mentioned here, that is, the so-called famous Luoyang scholars who followed Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao and others in the past. Since Dong Zhuo occupied Luoyang, most of them have chosen to join the brothers Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu, and few are willing to join Cao Cao. After all, the Yuan family is a famous family of three generations and three dukes. With a wide connection, the resources can be borrowed far exceeds that of Cao Cao. Therefore, all the playmates who played with each other in the past have joined the Yuan brothers, but no one is willing to assist Cao Cao. The most famous of these are: Xu You, Chunyu Qiong, Chen Lin, Xun brothers and others.
At this moment, seeing Chunyu Qiong's bold words of being brave enough to name the name in front of him, Cao Cao was very annoyed and wished to order the snob of Chunyu Qiong. Once upon a time, Chunyu Qiong had a secret friendship with him, Cao Cao, often wrote letters to share friendship and made good deeds. Especially when he occupied Yanzhou, Chunyu Qiong did not even dare to breathe in front of him, Cao Cao, and did not dare to be arrogant at all. Unexpectedly, the world was declining, and now his foundation in Yanzhou was taken away by Lu Bu, and his troops were damaged one after another, and he was completely devastated. And Chunyu Qiong finally showed an ugly snobbish face, and he dared to shout in front of everyone and make a big statement.
Such a slutty behavior really made Cao Cao hate it and feel extremely disgraceful.
However, the situation is stronger than others. Even if Cao Cao was reluctant at this time, he was helpless and powerless. When dealing with Chunyu Qiong, he not only could not offend Chunyu Qiong in public, but should instead give in and give in to the slander. He could not compete with Chunyu Qiong and conflict in public. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be vain, and he would do everything he could to lose to Chunyu Qiong's slander in front of Yuan Shao.
He noticed the handsome Yuan Jiang cut off Zhang Miao's head with one shot. Cao Cao not only did not rush out of the official road at the first time, but also stayed there to kill the soldiers under Zhang Miao's tent, killing all directions, and no one could stop him.
Seeing this scene with his own eyes, Cao Cao remembered it in his heart. While intentionally intercepting the group of suspected arsonists, he was also very afraid, for fear that the general Yuan rushed to him and stabbed him like Zhang Miao on the horse, with his head and head differently.
"General Chunyu is calm, please listen to Cao's explanation." Wave your hand to stop the abnormal movements of the personal soldiers around you. Cao Cao pointed at the handsome General Yuan holding a spear more than twenty steps away, and asked in a deep voice: "General, why not take a look. This person is a general under the tent of the leader of the Yuan Dynasty? Moreover, this person had just killed the prefect Zhang Miao in public and led fifty or sixty young and strong generals from the grain silo of the valley. He was very skilled in martial arts and extremely brave, and he was definitely not a mediocre player."
Speaking of this, Cao Cao changed his mind and continued: "No matter whether this person is a general under the command of Alliance Leader Yuan, the bravery of killing Zhang Miao in public is a bold and arrogant person, and he cannot escape the blame. Moreover, although dozens of people in this line of people have a Jizhou accent, their behavior is very suspicious. They rushed from the grain silo of the valley, and they were killed regardless of whether they encountered Jizhou or Yanzhou soldiers along the way, without any mercy. Such an abnormal behavior is really suspicious and they can't help but doubt their true identity. Therefore, Cao concluded that these people did not belong to any of the lords of the Allied forces, but were the enemy evildoers sent by Li thieves in Xiliang to rob the camp and set fire!"
"The troops sent by Li Zhe?" Chunyu Qiong was shocked and responded in shock: "Meng De said that more than 50 people were soldiers and horses under Li Zhe, who came to burn our army's food and grass camp?"
"General Chunyu guessed it." Cao Cao nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "If Cao read it correctly, these murderers wearing Yuan army armor are actually a group of people specially sent by Li Li to rob the camp!"
"Uh!" Chunyu Qiong was stunned when she heard the sound, but her eyes had already looked at the bloody battle not far away, and she couldn't help but frown and her face looked very ugly. But when she saw the handsome General Yuan holding a spear, she was indeed as Cao Cao said, regardless of the enemy and friend, she was extremely vicious in taking action. She would kill everyone along the way without leaving any survivors!
Chunyu Qiong didn't need to think about such a fierce team to know that the Jizhou army did not have such a powerful brigade that was fearless. The only elite army was the Xiandeng Dead Soldier who stayed behind Jizhou. The general of Jizhou Ju Yi was commanded by Jizhou to fight specifically against Gongsun Zan who was entrenched in Youzhou. In addition, the more than 100,000 troops under Yuan Shao were almost the same, and they were not considered elite soldiers.
The most important thing is that Chunyu Qiong felt that the handsome Yuan general who killed Zhang Miao looked very handsome and he had never seen him before. This surprised him because Chunyu Qiong was a veteran who had followed Yuan Shao for many years and knew very well about the generals in Jizhou. He knew all the generals at the top of the Tun and above, but there were almost nothing he didn't know or had never seen before. Chunyu Qiong still had this confidence and believed it without doubt.
Because of this, Chunyu Qiong couldn't help but believe Cao Cao's words. Perhaps this lawless Yuan army was not a soldier in Jizhou, but a evil thief sent by Li thieves to set fire to rob the camp. However, Chunyu Qiong took into account his face and even though he had already noticed that the Yuan army was very suspicious, and he was probably the Xiliang thief army, but he was unwilling to admit it directly and had to continue pretending to be in the face.
"Even if Meng De said, Meng De doesn't need to take action personally. I, Chunyu Qiong, will clean up the door for my lord, and Meng De will not worry about it. Meng De will lead the troops to retreat for the time being, and wait for someone to capture the thief alive. Then you will know the whole story when you ask!"
Seeing Chunyu Qiong so arrogant, Cao Ren raised his sword indignantly and shouted loudly: "It's outrageous! Chunyu Qiong, how dare you despise us so much? Do you really think that Cao Ren dares not kill you?"
"Son of your mouth!" Before Cao Ren could take the horse out of the battle, Cao Cao immediately grabbed Cao Ren with quick eyes and hands, and shouted sternly.
Immediately, Cao Cao raised his hand to signal his soldiers to retreat, and said to Chunyu Qiong with a smile: "Since General Chunyu does not want Cao to interfere, then please ask the general to capture the thief as soon as possible and find out the truth!"
After saying something in a bad tone, Cao Cao turned his horse's head and pulled Cao Ren to lead the army to retreat: "Zi Xiaowu should say too much. Since it is the internal affairs of Jizhou, how can we intervene without authorization? The soldiers obeyed the orders, retreated three hundred steps, and immediately enforced and left!"
Seeing Cao Cao so cowardly, Chunyu Qiong pretended to nod, but there was a look of mockery and contempt in his eyes.
When Cao Cao led his army back dozens of steps, Chunyu Qiong waved his sword and shouted loudly: "Where did the thief come from? You dare to get into the hungry Jizhou army and act recklessly. Look at Chunyu Qiong and others to capture you alive! Look at the sword---"
Amid the loud shout, Chunyu Qiong rode his horse and waved his sword and rushed straight to General Yuan holding a spear. The attack was fierce and aggressive, and he seemed to be full of posture. However, when he slashed at the back of General Yuan of the "Pillar Yuan", the "Pillar Yuan" who was in a fierce battle suddenly swung his gun like a stick, instantly knocking away four Zhang Miao's personal soldiers. Then, a silver snake-like spear suddenly thrust into the cold light, and then the back of the gun came first, and the spearhead rushed straight to Chunyu Qiong's face and stabbed.
What a Chunyu Qiong, one of the eight lieutenants in the West Garden in the past, was definitely not a false reputation. In the critical moment, the sword he slashed suddenly changed direction, and the sword turned into a horizontal block, holding the spear that "General Yuan" suddenly stabbed, and then gritted his teeth and buoyed his arms and spread the spear, swung the knife to counterattack.
"Clang, clang, clang!"
Chunyu Qiong riding on the horse and the "Long Spear General Yuan" fighting on foot suddenly fought. The sword and the spear collided violently in the air, sparks flew everywhere, and the fight was very fierce. In a blink of an eye, Chunyu Qiong actually fought against the "Long Spear General Yuan" for ten rounds. Although he had few attacks and more defenses, he finally had to last for more than a dozen rounds and was undefeated.
Just as Chunyu Qiong was fighting fiercely with the "Long Spear General Yuan", Cao Jun retreated to the wall and watched, and Cao Ren, who was protecting the pure left and right, sighed softly: "I didn't expect that Chunyu Qiong is a fool, who is good at martial arts. He can fight with the thief for more than ten rounds. It seems that he is not as pure as the rumored person, and he is indeed a little capable!"
Cao Cao nodded slightly when he heard this and whispered: "What Zixiao said is right. Everyone knows that Chunyu Qiong is a real snob. He seeks good fortune and avoids disasters, and has no virtue. However, this guy is indeed very extraordinary in martial arts. The reason why Emperor Ling ordered him to be one of the eight lieutenants of the Xiyuan Garden was because he was attracted by Emperor Ling to be brave and good at fighting. His martial arts should not be underestimated. He was the number one person who was popular inside and outside Luoyang City back then. It is precisely because of this that he was chosen by Emperor Ling to enrich the troops of the eight lieutenants of the Xiyuan Garden, and his courage was evident from this."
"Well, what the lord said is very much." Cao Ren nodded slightly, and then asked curiously: "Oh, by the way, how can the lord know that this evil thief is the subordinate of Li Lei's thief?"
"It's very simple." Cao Cao smiled indifferently, staring at the bearded man behind the "Long Spear Yuan General" with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't Zixiao feel familiar when he sees this person? This thief has fought with us several times and has been entangled with the Jizhou army for many years. Unexpectedly, he actually defected to Li Zhe and made accomplice for the tiger! This person is Kuang Gu, one of the "Heishan Army Leaders"!"
