Han counter current

Cao Zhang was very puzzled. It stands to reason that such a fierce general should not be so poor in physical fitness.

"It's not this guy."

Hu Cheeryun became angry when he heard this, and he pointed at Cao Hong's nose and began to curse: "Cao Hong on this donkey day led people to snatch a group of people from my camp, and my general was so angry that he vomited blood that day. .

As a result, the injury worsened, and I caught the wind and cold again at night, and now it's like this, this bastard, I feel angry when I see you..."

"Who is afraid of whom? You think I'm afraid of you, so kind..."

"Shut up, Hu Che'er, get out..."

"General Cao, don't be presumptuous..."

Zhang Xiu and Cao Zhang stopped the two barbarians at the same time. After all, this is not a place to be presumptuous. Besides, both sides understand that quarreling will not solve the problem.

"Go out, I have a few words to talk to General Zhang, you wait outside."

This sentence sounded like it was addressed to the two soldiers in the tent, but both Cao Hong and Hu Che'er could tell that they were also invited out.

After all, behind Cao Zhang is Cao Cao. Although his current status is not high, and his official position is nothing, but he represents Cao Cao, and everyone has to weigh their own weight.

"General Zhang, you have suffered."

Seeing the others go out, Cao Zhang bowed his hands to Zhang Xiu and said, "If you hadn't appeared in time that day, I'm afraid I would have been killed by Zhang Fei. It's really rude for me to come now. I hope you don't mind."

"How dare, how dare,,,,,,," said the cold voice, without the slightest emotion, and without the slightest meaning of acceptance. It seemed that Zhang Xiu didn't like anyone surnamed Cao.

"Ming people don't say dark words. I thank you because you saved me, but there are some things, some grudges, and I can't let go."

Cao Zhang said solemnly: "A man should act openly and aboveboard, he must repay the debt he owes to others, and he must do it himself if he has not avenged it.

One yard counts for one yard. I brought ten days’ worth of food and grass, which is enough for you to eat for a few days. Later, I will find a way to get you some food and grass. "

"Heh, heh,,,,,,"

Although Zhang Xiu admired Cao Zhang's upright style, he couldn't help but sneer a few times after hearing this.

"General Ziwen's life is really worthless. It was only worth a few days of food and grass. Hehe, if the prime minister heard this, he would probably laugh his ass off."

"I know you are dissatisfied, but you should know that there are causes and effects. Your current situation is all caused by yourself."

Cao Zhang said helplessly: "There are some things that I can't decide, so I can't do anything about it. However, if you will listen to my advice, I hope you will calm down. At least, you should think about your family. Are you right? "

"Exchange my life for the lives of my family." Zhang Xiu said coldly, "Let's be honest, what do you want to come here this time?"

"There is a shortage of food and grass in your camp. If the food and grass I brought in are exhausted, I am afraid that the soldiers in your camp will go hungry again. At that time, they will inevitably be lured away by other generals."

Cao Zhang knows it's time to get into the topic

"Your Ministry can't go to the battlefield now. If you don't have military exploits, you won't be rewarded, so you don't have the right to ask for food and grass. I am willing to exchange enough food and grass with you for war horses. You can ask for a price. At least, this can stabilize your army's morale, don't you think? Woolen cloth?"

"are these all?"

"Then what do you want?"

"Please go back. If there is no food, I can go hunting, or I can buy it from the local people. There is really no food. I still have war horses.

Thousands of war horses are enough for me to eat for a while. By then, Xuzhou will be almost pacified, so I don’t need to worry about General Ziwen. I have to rest, so you can go back. "

"You, you are,,,,,,"

After all, Cao Zhang refrained from getting angry. After all, if he wants to form a cavalry now, he really can only buy war horses from Zhang Xiu. If he really quarrels with Zhang Xiu, then he will not have the opportunity to command the cavalry for the next half a year. up.

If there is no cavalry, I am afraid that there will be no chance to gain more military exploits.Cao Zhang has a soft spot for cavalry, and he is now considered a qualified cavalry general.

So he was eager to reorganize his cavalry.Apart from Zhang Xiu, he really didn't know who to look for right now.

"General Zhang think about it carefully, I will come again..."

After Cao Zhang and others left, nearly 3000 people in the Zhangxiu Department were busy lighting fires and cooking. This team had indeed been out of food for several days.

If they hadn't relied on hunting for the past few days, they would all be starving with hunger. As for the slaughter of war horses, they had indeed slaughtered hundreds of horses so far, but these Xiliang athletes didn't want to continue killing them.

"Are you afraid that Cao Cao will not agree?" A figure flashed into the big tent, and no one noticed that he came uninvited.

"The matter of food and grass should be resolved."

Zhang Xiu was not surprised by the other party's arrival: "It's just that it's not enough, so what if I go to the battlefield, I will die in vain on the battlefield, I have no chance to escape at all."

"Fighting Liu Bei, you will be useless no matter how many subordinates you die."

The visitor replied: "But my lord said, you don't need to go all out. The reason why Cao Cao didn't dare to move you directly is nothing more than that you have so many brothers in your hands, and you don't think there is an army worth your while." Pay attention?"

"And an army?"

Zhang Xiu opened his eyes: "Zang Ba, by the way, there is also Zang Ba, although he came to assist under the old thief's order, the old thief doesn't seem to trust him.

He didn't trust the old thief either, so the old thief asked Xiahoudun to lead 7000 troops to guard the left wing, actually staring at Zang Ba.

If I ask for this task in the second place, the old thief has no reason not to agree. Zang Basu and I don't know each other, and there is no friendship between the two parties, so there is no possibility of joining forces.

Moreover, my food and grass are in the hands of the old thief. It is simply a fantasy to rebel. Maybe I don't need to ask, and the old thief will give me this task.

However, I only have more than 2000 soldiers and horses left, even if I have all cavalry under my command, it is not enough. Zang Ba has [-] troops, and it is impossible for the old thief to let me take this small number of troops to stare at Zang Ba. "

"So, you can use the excuse that you haven't recovered from your injuries, and that many of your subordinates have been deceived by Cao Hong, and then continue to call in your old troops from the rear to support. In this way,,,,,,"

"In this way, I can find a way to take away all the old subordinates who are willing to go with me, which is wonderful, so that no one will think that I am preparing to escape.

But, where should I escape then?Qingzhou is in the hands of Yuan Tan, and the east of Xuzhou is in the hands of Liu Bei. Is it possible to go south to Jingzhou? "

"This is what my lord should consider, but let me remind you first that there may not be too many people who are really willing to die with you.

So you don't need to bring too many people, just let it go. If there are too many people, it will definitely attract Cao Cao's attention, and it will be troublesome to transfer. "

"Okay, as long as Chen Feng can solve the problem of how to escape, I don't care about anything else."

"If that's the case, then I will reply to my lord as soon as possible, the general should continue to recuperate, at least before you escape, your injury will never recover..."

********

"He wants me to give in, hmph, use the horse to force me to give in."

Cao Cao saw through Zhang Xiu's thoughts immediately after listening to the reports from Cao Zhang and Cao Hong.

"To put it bluntly, he doesn't want to lose his military power, even if he loses some of his horses, he still wants to continue to hold his military power.

Moreover, in order to feed his troops, he wanted to get a chance to fight.Unless I agree to his terms, he would rather kill all the horses. "
