Three Kingdoms, Sheng Chong Shang Shulang

"Zilian." Xiahou Dun walked upstairs slowly.

"What are you doing here?" Cao Hong asked listlessly.

"Why, don't you even want to see me now?" Xiahou Dun teased.

"Stop talking nonsense with me. If you really have nothing to do, go find your Dian Wei." Cao Hong gave him a look.

"I'm looking for Dianwei. I just want to live a comfortable life as a brother. I really can't bear to see you alone." Xiahou Dun was not angry either, and deliberately wanted to anger Cao Hong.

"Are you here to fight today?" Cao Hong stared at Xiahou Dun displeased.

"Yes! I don't want to cause trouble at this juncture. If you really have nothing to do, you might as well go and see what Guo Jijiu is doing."

Cao Hong's eyes dimmed a bit, "What's the matter with him now?"

"Even if we are friends, it's not like you can't even say a word. If you really can't get rid of this shame, then wait to separate from Fengxiao."

"What do you mean!" Cao Hong heard the clue, and became a little emotional.

"I just heard that Feng Xiao is going to go to Meng De with the supply team, but I don't know when to go."

"What!" Cao Hong punched Xiahou Dun on the shoulder, and said angrily, "You have been talking nonsense with me for so long, and you are only talking about such an important thing now!"

Without waiting for Xiahou Dun's response, he ran away in a hurry.

Looking at Cao Hong's panicked back, Xia Houdun laughed and shook his head. He clearly liked it, but he couldn't admit it. He made it on his own. If he missed it, he would regret it later.

As soon as he heard that Feng Xiao was going to leave, Cao Hong rushed over without thinking, but he didn't know that he saw his figure from a distance, so he didn't have the courage to go forward, and he didn't know what to say when he met him.

After much hesitation and lingering for a long time, Cao Hong finally made up his mind.

"Feng Xiao..." Looking at Guo Jia's busy back, Cao Hong called out easily.

Guo Jia's body froze, and she immediately turned her head, smiling like a flower, "Zi Lian, I haven't seen you for a few days."

"Yes... yes..." Cao Hong faced Guo Jia directly, but couldn't even utter a word.

"Why are you free to look for me today?" Guo Jia's subordinates continued to work.

"I heard...you are leaving with the supply team?"

"Yeah, look, it's busy."

"But because you don't want to see me?"

Guo Jia's subordinates stopped, trying not to look stiff, and smiled dryly: "What are you talking about, why should I hide from you?"

"Because I said unreasonable things to you."

"Oh... I almost forgot about it. If you didn't mention it, I wouldn't have thought of it. Look at your usual rough appearance, and your thoughts are quite delicate. I am Jijiu, and I should be around the general, seeing the whole situation. A while ago It was because of recuperating that I was delayed, and now that I am fine, I shouldn't waste my time."

What Guo Jia said was well-founded, but Cao Hong was speechless for a while.

"Must we go?" Cao Hong asked one last time.

"There's no reason not to go, is there?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

"Then I'll go with you."

"No!" Guo Jia refused without hesitation.

"Why not?"

Guo Jia turned his head to the side, not looking at Cao Hong, "Meng De told me that you and Yuan Rang will stay here."

Cao Hong felt very unhappy, and both of them knew in their hearts that according to the relationship between Cao Hong and Cao Cao, even if Cao Hong really went to the battlefield, Cao Cao would complain a few words at most, and would not say anything more.

Now Guo Jia is using this "order" as an excuse to not let Cao Hong go with him. He is obviously still holding his breath, but Cao Hong asked him clearly, but Guo Jia refused to admit it.

Cao Hong seemed to have punched the cotton with a fist, and he couldn't use his strength left and right.

"Forget it, take care of yourself." Cao Hong was dejected, and he had no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit he had brewed.

"That's natural, it's nothing to worry about." Guo Jia said perfunctorily, and stopped talking to Cao Hong, and was busy with the matter at hand.

Cao Hong stood behind Guo Jia for a while, then left quietly.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Hongyuan's back, and pursed his lips tightly. Why can everyone around him easily meet the right person, but he has to experience this kind of pain again and again. Could it be that he is really doomed to be lonely all his life?

"Jijiu, everything is ready."

Guo Jia breathed a sigh of relief, looked away, "Then let's go."

A group of people left the city gate with food and grass, Guo Jia insisted on riding with the others, which saved a lot of trouble.

Standing on the city tower, Cao Hong watched Guo Jia leave the city gate without a trace of nostalgia, and never looked back. Cao Hong was so decisive that he felt a little heartbroken, and made him start to reflect on himself, whether he really did something wrong choose.

On Cao Cao's side, when Yuan Shu passed away, he mobilized his troops and went out to fight directly, leading his army to Hebei.

Before Yuan Shao had time to prepare, Cao Cao occupied a lot of territory with almost no resistance.

But when the momentum was in full swing, Cao Cao ignored the clamor of his subordinates, insisted on withdrawing his troops, and retreated to the south bank.

Cao Cao stood by the river bank and watched the rolling river, sighing silently. Just now Xia Houyuan came to reason with him again, but he refused to explain anything.

Seeing Cao Cao's sad face, Xun You asked, "What's on your mind, my lord?"

Cao Cao turned his back and asked, "Master, you know, why should I withdraw my troops?"

"Gongda suspects that the lord wants to lure Yuan Shao across the river to fight."

Cao Cao looked approvingly, "That's right, the current victory is due to the sudden attack. If Yuan Shao recovers and the army overwhelms the situation, we will be the turtle in the urn and let them make dumplings."

Xun You nodded, "My lord is right not to reveal his intentions to the generals. Why bother causing panic in vain? If the thieves don't listen to it and pass it on to Yuan Shao, it will be a waste of success."

"It's still Gongda who understands me. We have few soldiers. If the stalemate persists for a long time, it will be bad for us. Right now, we have to lure Yuan Shao across the river and prolong their battle line, so that we have a chance to turn the tables."

"The battle line is long, and it will be difficult for them to supply food and grass. It just so happens that Jijiu has already delivered food and grass on the road, and I'm afraid it will be here soon. Then we will have less worries about the future."

Cao Cao smiled when he heard the words, "When Feng Xiao comes, I have you two here, let's work it out together, and worry about not being able to defeat Yuan Shao?"
