Three Kingdoms: Bandit Cao, let go of that woman!

Chapter 342

"Little general, even if he is heartbroken, it will be difficult to repay King Wei's kindness..." Xu Chu cried bitterly.

Cao Cao smiled and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.

"One more thing, the land of Hanzhong is bound to be won, and it cannot be easily withdrawn!"

Xu Chu cupped his hands and said, "The final general obeys orders and will break Hanzhong!"

Cao Cao's physical condition is not good, so he didn't tell Xu Chuduo again.

Xu Chu also left Cao Cao's place.

However, as soon as he left the camp, Sima Yi came first and asked Xu Chu:

"Commander Xu, how is King Wei's current physical condition?"

Xu Chu was not a scheming person, but he felt that he was a rare loyal minister who cared so much about the safety of King Wei.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sima, it's not convenient for me to tell you the specifics, but it's not a serious problem." Xu Chu said, cupping his hands.

"That's good, but I don't know if the king of Wei has given instructions, should Hanzhong fight or not?"

Xu Chu frowned, he didn't expect Sima Yi to be so smart.

He said with a smile: "The King of Wei said, if you don't break Hanzhong, you won't return!"

Sima Yi nodded calmly, already thinking about it.

After that, at the military conference led by Sima Yi and Cheng Yu, the next offensive strategy was formulated.

Generals Xu Huang and Cao Ren led the army to storm Hanzhong.

After losing several battles, Zhang Lu already felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.

"Quick, I have a letter here. After you go to Yizhou, don't look for Cao Peng, just give it to my daughter!"

Zhang Lu believes that Cao Peng is no longer reliable, and if he wants to save himself, only his daughter can persuade him.

Zhang Lu's confidant set off overnight after receiving the order, and hurried to Yizhou.

Zhang Qiying was busy helping Cao Peng with various things at this time. Hearing that someone sent a letter to her, she hurried to go.

"A Niu, why are you here?"

Zhang Qiying immediately recognized this person as her father's confidant.

The servant named Ah Niu hurriedly said:

"Miss, this is the letter my lord asked me to give you, please save him quickly after reading the letter!"

Zhang Qiying took the letter, and when he opened it, his expression changed drastically.

"This!"

Unexpectedly, the situation in Hanzhong was endangered to such a juncture.

I only asked Cao Peng two days ago, but Cao Peng told me to be safe and not to be impatient.

The most trusted man actually lied to her.

Zhang Qiying felt a little heartbroken. He took the letter and hurried to Cao Peng's place.

At this time, Cao Peng was discussing the construction of Xichuan with Chen Qun, Xun Yu and others.

Zhang Qiying rushed in, Cao Peng signaled her to wait, he was busy.

Unexpectedly, this woman rushed to his desk, tears overflowing from her pretty face.

"what's wrong?"

Looking at his woman's appearance, Cao Peng already knew in his heart that things were not easy.

Zhang Qiying slapped the letter on Cao Peng's table, and Lihua wept in the rain: "My father guarded Hanzhong for the general and resisted Cao Cao. Now he is poor. I beg the general to send troops to save him."

Cao Peng opened the letter, and after reading the contents, he smiled wryly.

"Qiying, don't worry, I will never sit idly by, and I will definitely not let Mr. Yue Zhang have an accident!"

Zhang Qiying's pear blossoms were raining, and finally she leaned on Cao Peng's body.

Chen Qun, Jia Xu and others knew that such an occasion was inappropriate, so they withdrew one after another.

……

Cao Peng's efficiency was very fast, and he immediately issued an order to go out.

Order Guan Yu to lead the army, take Zhang Yun as the vanguard, and go to Hanzhong first.

Xun Yu said to Cao Peng, "Is the general really going to turn against King Wei because of a woman?"

Using the connection with Zhang Lu to resist Cao Cao and directly making Cao Cao an enemy are two completely different concepts.

Xun Yu knew this truth, how could Cao Peng not know?
Cao Peng smiled wryly and said, "Actually, uncle should have returned by now, but he insisted on this..."

To be honest, he still regards Cao Peng as his own uncle.

However, his rise is bound to become a thorn in Cao Cao's eyes.

He couldn't resolve this irreconcilable contradiction, and so did Cao Cao.

This, perhaps is destiny!

"However, we can wait for a while. I heard that King Wei's head is in trouble, and it's only a matter of time before his master returns to court." Xun Yu still persuaded.

After all, Cao Cao is Xun Yu's bole. As his new master and old master, he does not want to see Cao Cao and Cao Peng turn against each other.

"Wen Ruo, maybe you think it's not worth it for me to do this for a woman, but I just want to tell you that a man can do something and not do something."

He explained, but Xun Yu still didn't understand.

Women in this era are nothing more than men's appendages.

For someone like Cao Peng, he can't get any kind of woman.

Don't think about things that you can't figure out. Xun Yu will be a good housekeeper and manage Xichuan's economy well.

……

But Guan Yu led [-] troops to support Hanzhong. He ordered Zhang He to be the vanguard and led [-] troops to go first.

On the other hand, he led the remaining 2 troops, and set up a stronghold near the mountains.

Zhang He was eager to make meritorious deeds, and boasted Haikou in front of Guan Yu. As long as he was given an army of 1, he would surely be able to make meritorious deeds.

Guan Yu is arrogant, so the louder he is when he works under his command, the more he will appreciate him.

Zhang Xi's bragging naturally suits his appetite.

Directly asked him to issue a military order, assigned 1 soldiers and horses, and asked Zhang He to go to visit the camp.

Zhang Xi led his troops there, and the so-called battalion exploration was detailed, investigating and understanding the enemy's formation and military force analysis, which was similar to war espionage.

However, Zhang Yun felt that after such a task was completed, it would be painless.

Just like chicken ribs, it's tasteless to eat, but it's a pity to discard them.

If he wanted more credit, he had to find another way.

The scouts of Team 1 and Team 2 came back, and Zhang Yun immediately summoned them.

"How is it?" Zhang He asked.

Both teams of scouts said that Cao Cao had set up three big villages, all of which blocked the only way to Hanzhong.

One village is called Dangqu Village, the other is called Mengtou Village, and the other is called Dangshi Village.

Zhang Xi also knew how to use troops. This information is enough to show that Cao Cao had already regarded Cao Peng of Xichuan as an imaginary enemy.

That's why they deliberately set up camps along the road, in order to fight against Cao Peng, who might come from Xichuan.

Zhang He summoned the generals and ordered: "Go back and mobilize the soldiers under your command, so I will raid together tonight!"

Everyone was stunned. Isn't their mission to visit the camp?

Why did Zhang Yun tell them now that it was the general's own initiative or another order to raid the enemy's camp?
