Cao Cao nodded, and continued to ask: "Gongsun Zan is dead, is Yuan Shao ready to move?"

"So far there is no news of his attempt to send troops."

Cao Cao fell into deep thought and didn't say a word.

"My subordinates greet you late, and I hope the general will forgive me." Until Cao Cao entered the lobby, Guo Jiafang came to greet him.

Cao Cao glanced at him and said, "You're so lazy, if you don't think of a good way to deal with Yuan Shao, see if I don't deal with you properly."

"Don't worry, General, there is definitely a solution." Guo Jia stepped aside with a smile.

"Then tell me, what should I do now?"

"The subordinates believe that the war in Hanoi should not be delayed, and that Zhang Yang's remaining troops should be wiped out as soon as possible, and pointed directly at Yuan Shao."

"Okay! I think so too. I haven't fought for a long time, and my hands are really itchy. So I will send an order to the three armies to organize their luggage and leave camp tomorrow morning."

"promise!"

At this time, Cao Hong rushed forward to ask for orders to be a vanguard officer, but Cao Cao refused.

"Zi Lian, don't be impatient. Before the world is unified, there will be battles. You will be absent this time, and you will make up for it next time."

"This……"

"I know you're worried, Zixiao is coming now, he's the vanguard, Yu Jin, Le Jin, and Xu Huang make up, you don't need to worry about this lineup, it's good for you to heal your wounds."

"No!" Cao Hong had nothing to say, so he had to step aside.

At night, Cao Cao couldn't hold back after all, and found Guo Jia to drink together in the pavilion.

"Meng De wants to tell me about Wen Ruo?" Guo Jia poured a bottle of wine for the two of them.

Cao Cao picked it up and drank it down, "You know his mind best, why doesn't he want to come back with me?"

"It seems that the general already knows that Wen Ruo is willing to leave."

"You already knew?" Cao Cao was surprised.

Guo Jia took a sip, "Could it be that Meng De really thought that with Wen Ruo's ability, he could be kidnapped in his own territory?"

Cao Cao didn't speak.

Guo Jia continued: "That's right, as the so-called caring leads to chaos, in Meng De's eyes, Wen Ruo is just a weak scholar who needs your constant protection."

"Then why didn't you tell me?" Cao Cao thought of Xun You's hesitant appearance, and they all knew it in their hearts, but they just didn't want to say it.

"With your distraught appearance, who would want to hit you again?"

"So you let me go to find Wenruo, and then tell him to provoke me face to face?" Cao Cao was slightly angry.

"Wen Ruo doesn't know what kind of drug Liu Bei and his party are feeding now, but I'm sure, he doesn't have you in his heart."

"What's the use of saying that." Cao Cao took a sip of his wine.

"So you want to see him go astray just because he said a few hurtful words?" Guo Jia retorted.

"I……"

"You keep saying that you like it, but in my opinion, it is as light as a feather. Wen Ruo has paid a lot to you, but you are not willing to save him now."

"Then tell me how I should save him. I'm afraid that if I bring him back by force, he will resent me instead."

"How will you know if you don't do it? The authorities are confused by the onlookers. One day, Wen Ruo will figure it out. Now you just need to deal with Yuan Shao as you agreed at the beginning, and then find an opportunity to deal with Liu Bei."

"Okay!" Cao Cao seemed to have made up his mind, and his mood suddenly brightened.

Guo Jia lowered his head and took a sip of wine, hiding the worry in his eyes.

Wen Ruo, that's all I can help you with. You have to take care of yourself alone.

In another courtyard, Cao Hong was drinking with Xiahou Dun.

"Zi Lian, drink slowly."

"I'm bored here." Cao Hong was already drunk and shouted, poking his chest.

"No, you are not allowed to join the army. There will be another time."

"I'm bored, not because I can't fight, but because I feel sorry for my brothers."

Cao Hong brought up the wine jar and took a few sips, "Let's talk about you first. You lost one eye for no reason. Although you were not romantic and suave back then, you were still good-looking. Now you have not married a wife, so you wear a blindfold. Appearance, but no one wants to be like now."

Xiahoudun's heart knot has been tied, and gradually he can think about it. Hearing Cao Hong talk about his wife's family, he inexplicably thought of the snacks around these days, and his heart was warm.

"Besides, Mengde, I haven't seen him care so much about anyone in so many years. He chased people and went to the enemy's territory, but he only got heartbroken and heartless. He also made a lot of trouble with the outside world. His own affairs are enough to worry about. See You are like this, I feel bad."

Xiahoudun and Cao Hong had a few drinks, "Although I'm ugly, I was lucky to meet a good person. Because of this injury, I gradually became clear about what I was thinking. It's not too bad. Although Meng De was worried, but fortunately he didn't Don't despair, the situation is changing rapidly, I still understand Wen Ruo, and I don't know what will happen in the future, it's not too bad to keep this hope."

"You are transparent." Hearing what he said, Cao Hong felt better.

"What about you? How about the preparations for offering wine with Guo?"

Cao Hong was drinking and choked when he heard the words.

"I told you to slow down." Xiahou Dun joked for him.

"What kind of filial piety are you talking about?"

"Feng Xiao?" It's the first time I've heard you call him like that. It seems that your relationship has improved by leaps and bounds during my absence.

"Don't be silly."

"Oh? Could it be that I read it wrong?" Xiahou Dun said with a smirk: "Brother, I advise you, don't lose it before you know how to cherish it, and it will be too late to regret it."

Cao Hong was so drunk that he was like a puddle of mud, and he couldn't get up even if he helped him. Xiahou Dun still had a sliver of reason, so he directly lifted Cao Hong on his shoulders and sent him back to the house.

Passing by Guo Jia's residence, Xiahou Dun stopped for a moment, then threw Cao Hong into Guo Jia's house.

Guo Jia and Cao Cao drank until midnight. As soon as they returned to the house, they saw Xiahou Dun carrying a man and throwing it on his own bed.

"What is the purpose of General Xiahou's visit in the middle of the night?"

"I'm having a drink with Zi Lian. This kid can't drink. I wanted to send him back, but I passed by you, but I couldn't walk. How about drinking for a night?"

Guo Jia said with a smile: "General Xia Hou has a lot of leisure time, so he has put in so much effort, Feng Xiao thanked him for the time being."
