Life in the Three Kingdoms

, and then give Yuxue a time to think about it.

Yuxue walked to the door cautiously, poked a small hole in the window paper with his fingers and looked out, and only after a long time did he confirm it, then turned around and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Do you still remember the one thing you promised me to do for me?"

"Ah."

"Now, I need you to do one thing, please listen to me."

Yuxue did as he did, but his face couldn't help changing after hearing my whisper in his ear. This was the first time I saw Yuxue's expression of such a big reaction, and I was worried for a while whether he would refuse.

"What... are you thinking?" Yuxue asked.

"I don't want to say it for now, I just hope you can trust me."

"What about the purpose?"

"...I don't want to say it either."

"You don't say anything, how can you be sure that I will promise you?"

"I'm not sure if you will agree, but I can't find someone else to do it." I confessed.

"Why didn't you find Zilong?" Yuxue still found it strange.

"Can't find him."

"Can't?" Yuxue seemed to be thinking about the meaning of what I said, not because he didn't want to find him, but because he couldn't be found.

I nodded and stopped talking, just waiting for Yuxue to give me an answer.

After a long time, Yu Xue said: "I can't promise you. Not only can I not promise you, but I have to tell Zilong, I don't know what happened between you, and I don't know what will happen if I tell Zilong , it's just my gut feeling that I have to tell him."

"No! You can't tell Zilong!" I almost cried out.

I had thought that Yuxue would refuse, but I didn't expect that he would want to tell Zilong about this, because I always thought that Yuxue was a person who didn't like talking.

Seeing how excited I was, Yuxue just said flatly, "Unless you explain the cause and effect clearly, I will definitely tell Zilong."

I stared at him, biting my lips and thinking about whether to say or not. Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to say, but there are many things that I really can’t say. I still can’t say until I bite my lip until it bleeds, so I give up my answer. : "It's up to you, I won't say it anyway."

Yuxue was even more surprised: "I thought you would say it. I didn't expect you to be so forced to not say it. Don't worry, I won't promise you this matter, but I won't tell Zilong either. Tonight I will never came."

Yuxue left after speaking, leaving me alone to sigh. It seems that this plan did not go so smoothly, Yuxue rejected my request, and there was nothing I could do.

The time passed faster and faster after that, everyone was making preparations, some people were transporting people, some were making explosives, some were collecting hay, some were preparing bows and arrows, some were training ambushes, only I fell asleep leisurely .

Accompanied by all kinds of the best medicinal materials and supplements, I can’t care about the theory that the deficiency is too much to supplement or the right amount and time. The army stick still made the bones of the whole upper body ache, and Liu Feng's shameless behavior also made the whole lower body feel a tearing pain, but at least I can move around on my own, without support or cart.

During this period of preparation, Liu Feng did not come to see me, which surprised me. I thought he would come to ask me why I made such an arrangement.What surprised me even more was that Zilong never came to me. This time, I arranged for him almost a purely logistical task. He obviously couldn't understand it, but he didn't ask anything, and he didn't express anything. .I just remember the heart-wrenching unfamiliarity he had when he answered "Yun Lingming" that day.

The author has something to say:

☆, grudges

When everything was arranged properly, the expected but still unacceptable bad news finally came.Liu Cong has offered Xiangyang to Cao Cao, and the capital of Jingzhou has fallen.

When I heard the news, I had already left Xinye with Liu Bei and others. When our large army set off from Xinye, I really hoped that Yu Xue could come and tell me that he had temporarily changed his mind and accepted my request.It's a pity that when he sent us away, he didn't respond indifferently.I had no choice but to let him go with a sigh in my heart.

Just when we arrived in Fancheng, news came from the front that Xiangyang was occupied.

"It seems that they will arrive in Xinye soon." Liu Bei was worried, "I don't know if the plan will go well."

"My lord, don't worry, the matter in Xinye is almost a foregone conclusion, we now need to consider the next step."

"Next step?" Liu Bei obviously didn't keep up with such a fast pace, his mind was still full of this level, but the fact is that the road ahead is more difficult.

"We are now retreating to Fancheng. Although we are protected by the Baihe River, it is not a long-term solution. Cao Jun can build bridges, repair boats, and even fill the river. He has a lot of ways to cross the Baihe River. Everything is just a matter of time."

"Then what do we do?"

I was silent for a moment before I said: "To this day, my lord, let me ask you again, if Jingzhou can be taken, would you like it?"

Liu Bei was silent, he looked at me apologetically, and didn't speak.

Unexpectedly, Zilong who was on the side at this time said: "My lord, with all due respect, if Cao Cao takes Jingzhou again, I am afraid that there will be no place for us to stand in the world. It is better to take refuge in Cao Cao as soon as possible, and save money." So many people followed us to suffer and suffer.”

"Zilong, what are you talking about! Bandit Cao and I are at odds, and I definitely won't vote for him!"

"Since that's the case, why are you still hesitating, my lord?" Zilong continued the words logically.

Liu Bei had no choice but to say: "Forget it, a man was born in troubled times, and he can't help himself. Military division, I will listen to you how to go from now on."

I nodded and looked at Zilong gratefully.Only he can do the aggressive method against Liu Bei. From my standpoint and affection, it is far from enough to say such a thing.

"Then next, we must first unite with Eldest Prince Liu Qi. He should still have [-] to [-] troops, comparable to ours, and relying on the Jiangling waterway, he is an indispensable force for us."

"Then who will be sent to find him?" Liu Bei asked.

"I'll go."

"Military advisers are not allowed!" Liu Bei immediately stopped him, "We are in a special period, and we cannot do without you for a moment."

Zilong didn't make a sound at the side, but he also looked dissatisfied.

"My lord, don't worry, Liang will come back as soon as possible. The reason why I want to go in person this time is precisely because Liu Qi's support is very important in this special period, but no one can guarantee that Liu Qi will join us. I will go, at least hope He can think that because I gave him a plan to save his life, the chances of winning are better."

"That's fine." Liu Bei had no choice but to agree, "But at least wait until the dust settles in the battle of Xinye before leaving. If there is another change, we will have to rely on your brains!"

"Alright." I naturally agreed, not because I was worried about any changes in Xinye, but because I wanted to wait for another result.

During the next two days in Fancheng waiting for the situation in the new field, we did everything we could.The first is to settle down all the people who followed, the second is to burn most of the ships between Xinfan and the remaining few ships to guard closely, and the third is to send soldiers to stand by the Baishui Bridge, ready to wait for us at any time As soon as the Fang troops came back, they cut off the only passage between Xinfan and Xinfan.

And these things don't require me to do it myself, so I have a rare two days of leisure.But the strange thing is that Zilong hasn't looked for me once in the past two days. Although I arranged for him to protect Adou and the two wives, he doesn't have no time to look for me at all.

I don't know what kind of mentality caused it. One night, I looked at Leng Yue without any sleepiness, and then went to him in a strange way.

"What's the matter?" The moment Zilong saw me, the expression on Zilong's face was not joy, but indifference.

"Uh..." Facing him like this, I was at a loss for words for a while, as if I really didn't have anything to look for him.

After a short and suffocating silence, Zilong suddenly laughed at himself.

"Ha, I still can't do it, no matter how much resentment I have towards you, I can't pretend that I don't care about you. But why can you bear it until now to come to me?" Zilong's face showed some sadness laugh.

"Ah?" I couldn't react, his attitude seemed to be too different from the indifference just now.

"You, everything is hidden in my heart. I once thought I could see through you, but now I realize that I don't understand you more and more."

"What... are you dissatisfied with?" I felt that every word of Zilong seemed to be referring to something.

"You still ask me? Don't you understand at all?"

"You, are you dissatisfied with me for not leaving you in Xinye?" Thinking of the sentence "Yun takes orders" from Zilong, Zilong never spoke to me again. I thought he would figure it out, but unexpectedly Still didn't jump out of it.

"Yes!" Zilong seemed to want to vent his resentment a long time ago. He put his hands on my shoulders with a little excitement, and leaned close to his face to look down at me. I could feel the hot breath he exhaled when he spoke.

"Why don't you use me? After the last trial, you kept telling me that I was good and reassured me, but you didn't use me this time. What do you think? Not only that, but you have to go to Jiangling to find me. Liu Qi, you know I'm worried but you didn't tell me beforehand, so what is that?"

"...I thought you would understand, so I kept silent. Since you are worried about me going to Jiangling, how can I rest assured to keep you in Xinye? Last time I almost killed you, how can I do this time?" How dare you put you in such a dangerous place?"

When I said it, I lowered my head in embarrassment, and after I finished speaking, I looked up at Zilong, thinking that he would be happy because of my worry, but I didn't expect that his face was full of frustration.

"In your eyes, am I so unbearable? Useless enough to need your protection? Useless enough to fight ahead?"

"That was not what I meant."

"There's no need to explain." The hands holding my shoulders hang down weakly, and Zilong turns around and wants to leave.

At this moment, my body reacted faster than my brain. I rushed forward and hugged him from behind. At the moment I hugged him, I could clearly feel the body in my arms froze, and he was motionless. Stick there.

The author has something to say:

☆, fire

"Let go." It was the first time I heard Zilong's cold voice.

"I won't let go." This is also the first time that I was so afraid that if I let go, I would lose it completely. After so many things, I can finally—or I have to face my feelings.

"I won't let go, at least you listen to me. I don't know that what I did this time will hurt you and make you feel that I doubt your ability, but it's like you don't trust me to go to Jiangling , I think you should be able to understand this feeling. The last time you were injured and everything you experienced after that is still vivid, I really can’t convince myself that I still put you in danger... It’s not because I’m afraid you won’t be able to do it, it’s just that I am afraid that you will be hurt, even if this possibility is only one in ten thousand, I want to prevent this possibility."

As I spoke, I could feel the body encircled by my arms gradually relax. Zilong turned around and looked at me with unbelievable eyes.

"Am I, in your heart, already that important?"

"This..." It's too embarrassing to answer such a question, but just when I hesitated and shy, Zilong broke away from my arm and made a gesture to leave.

"Don't go! Yes! You are more important than myself in my heart!" I almost shouted this sentence, without thinking about it, I just wanted to keep Zilong.

"...you finally said it."

"What?" Now it was my turn to be surprised.

"I've been waiting for you to tell me, but you've been refusing to tell me. How can I know if you don't tell me? I've just been guessing about your feelings, but I've been relying on guessing. I will become more and more suspicious, more and more more uncertain."

"You, already knew?"

"Your eyes have been betraying you." Zilong's voice returned to his usual gentleness, "Although your language and behavior are always repulsive, your eyes always seem to tell me that you like me , It’s just that this kind of love is so confused.”

"You!" I was a little ashamed and angry. When I thought that Zilong knew it all the time but remained calm, I felt like I was being played.

"Okay." Zilong smiled dotingly, then put his arms around my shoulders, and leaned over to kiss me.

It was rare for me to cooperate to close my eyes, thinking of nothing, I just wanted to enjoy the warmth of this moment.

However, the moment before the lips collided, they were unexpectedly interrupted by disharmony.

"General, general!" It was the burning voice who shouted anxiously, but suddenly fell silent, probably because he forgot what he was going to say after seeing the scene in front of him.

Zilong and I let go of each other in a panic, our faces turned red when we faced the fire, and we didn't know how to deal with ourselves.When I reacted, I saw that Yuhuo's eyes were slightly red and moist, and then I remembered the special feelings he had mentioned but hadn't mentioned for a long time.

"Uh, what's the matter?" I was the first to break the awkward atmosphere, also because I couldn't bear to see Yu Huo's reaction like this.

My question made Yuhuo remember why he came here, he shook his head violently, probably trying to put his sad emotions behind him, and then said: "Mr. Report, Xinye is on fire!"

Zilong and I exchanged glances in an instant. We both understood the meaning behind this sentence, so we rushed towards the bank of the Baihe River without stopping.This night, it seems that everyone is doomed to sleepless.

When we arrived at Baihe, many people arrived almost together, and Liu Bei also came. Before we had any time to communicate, we looked in the direction of Xinye on the other side of the river.

The scene in front of me was spectacular, the sky on the other side was burnt crimson red, and the endless sea of ​​flames on the earth became more and more vivid and breathtaking in the surrounding night, even the nearby river was covered in flames. Against the background, even the sparkling waves are glowing with vibrant orange red, all of this is simply terrifyingly beautiful, and it is even more terrifying when one thinks about the price behind this beauty.

All of us were stunned for a while, until the sound of fighting on the other side gradually started to realize that the war had begun.

"Hurry up, the first team prepares the knives, axes and gunpowder, and destroys the Baishui bridge as soon as our troops come back. The second team prepares bows and arrows. If any enemy arrives, they will shoot them all." Zilong has already begun to command the soldiers. , I am still very satisfied with his reaction speed.

At this time, Liu Bei's forehead was dripping with sweat, and he looked very nervous.

"Don't worry, my lord. In fact, the fire basically means that our plan has succeeded. The rest is whether everyone can come back safely." I persuaded.

"That's exactly what I'm worried about. My second and third brothers and Feng'er are all there. How can I not be in a hurry?"

"My lord! Look! Someone is already coming this way!" Yuhuo suddenly shouted, pointing his fingers at the flickering lights on the dark forest path ahead.

"Here, I don't know which group it will be..." Liu Bei muttered worriedly.

I said: "Don't worry, my lord, it should be our people. The torches are not messy, and the team is relatively neat. If it is the collapsed Cao army, it will not be so neat."

While talking here, the flames over there are already approaching. From a distance, you can see the flag with the word "Guan" at the beginning, so you feel at ease, and then wait for the team to get on the Baishui Bridge, and finally see that it is Guan Ping who came back. up.

Liu Bei immediately went up to meet him, and as soon as he followed Guan Ping, he asked, "How is the battle ahead?"

"My lord!" Guan Ping's face was flushed, not only because of the reflection of the fire, but also because of the smooth battle, "The situation is smoother than we expected! Cao Jun, who has been killed in the east, west, north, and north gates, is terrified. They already know that only the south gate can After escaping, they all ran towards the south gate, but the fire was raging in the city, and the south gate was small, Cao Jun trampled on each other one after another, and the damage was serious!"

Guan Ping took a breath and continued: "My father saw that the situation of the battle was almost over, and remembered that the military division said not to be obsessed with fighting, so he asked me to come back first, and they will be back soon."

"Then what about Feng'er?" Liu Bei was still worried about this son.

"Liu Feng?" Guan Ping was a little surprised, "Hasn't he come back yet? He and the 3000 people led by Yu Xue had almost finished shooting arrows outside the city. I thought they would come back before me."

"What?" Liu Bei panicked, "We haven't seen him yet, you are the one who came back first, haven't you met Feng'er?"

"No." Guan Ping was also at a loss, "How about I turn back and have a look, and tell him to come back quickly when I see him."

"Wait a minute, general!" I interjected, "The general cannot go back. We are now in a race against time. Our success must come back before the other party. Since the general has already returned, there is no reason to go back, otherwise Find one, when will it be over?"

After I finished speaking, I turned to Liu Bei and said, "Don't worry, my lord. The matter has passed, and we can only wait patiently. There is blood, I believe he will not let General Liu Feng have an accident, and they will definitely come back soon." "

The author has something to say:

☆, wrong judgment

I said that with my mouth, but I didn't think that way at all in my heart. Could it be that Yuxue really changed his mind at the last moment?An uncontrollable excitement arises spontaneously, how I hope Liu Feng will never appear in front of my eyes again!

"My lord, look, they're back!" The sudden voice from Yu Huo diverted my mind.

What is unbelievable is a sparse team with no formation at all. The one who rushed to the front of the team was Yu Xue, who seemed to be seriously injured. His horse was riding fast, and he had already arrived in front of us when I just recognized him. .And following behind him was his Bloody Army, all of which looked like blood-stained silver helmets.Behind that was the rest of the troops arranged in the city, and Liu Feng followed them. These people, including Liu Feng, were somewhat injured. It seemed that something unexpected happened ahead.

"Brother? Why are you injured so badly?" Yuhuo was the first to go up to support Yuxue who got off his horse. Fortunately, he was there to help him, otherwise Yuxue would probably fall crookedly to the ground.

With Yuhuo's support, Yuxue waved his hands with difficulty, and said weakly, "It's okay, it's okay."

It's just that his waving his hands is an obvious cover-up in my opinion. He just blocked half of his face when he waved his hands, so that only I can see him cast a rather complicated look in my direction.

Following this look, I went to look at Liu Feng and the others who arrived behind. Liu Bei had already stepped forward, and then Liu Feng asked eagerly, "Feng'er, are you okay? Why have you suffered so many injuries? You guys what happened?"

"My lord father, on our way back, we encountered part of Cao's army from the south gate and were seriously injured. Fortunately, the two uncles arrived with troops and killed Cao's army for a while, so we were able to return. "

"Then your two uncles are okay?"

"It should be behind. They just protected us from walking for a while, and then followed up immediately."

Before Liu Feng finished speaking, there was an uproar in front of him. This group of people came the most and was the most powerful. It should be all the troops after the two generals Guan and Zhang joined forces. Not far behind them were Cao Jun's troops. people.

"The first team is preparing to break the bridge! The second team is full of bows!" Occupying a commanding height, Zilong clearly saw the situation in the direction of Xinye better than us, and he quickly conveyed the order.

Not long after the order was conveyed, General Guan Zhang led his men onto the bridge, while some other soldiers who knew how to swim jumped into the Baihe River to swim.When Cao Jun came to the north, they were basically landlubbers, and they could only watch from the opposite bank. Even if there were a few who got on the Baishui Bridge, they were all shot down by arrows.

All of a sudden, Fancheng, which had been silent for the past few days, was as lively as a silver bottle suddenly broken. General Guan Zhang and his talents crossed the bridge halfway. Dyeing the river of blood, the bright red was extremely dazzling under the light of the fire on the other side.

Seeing that there are not many bows and arrows left, in order to avoid letting Cao Jun enter Fancheng, even if all our soldiers have not crossed the bridge, we can only order to cut down the Baishui Bridge first, and the remaining people have to let them die under the blood of the enemy. Swim across the river.

When everyone was nervously destroying the bridge, the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang finally got together safely. Liu Bei cried excitedly: "The two younger brothers are really close! It is said that the Nanmen encountered Cao Jun's stubborn resistance? Thank you for helping Feng'er." save."

Guan and Zhang looked at each other with some doubts, and then Guan Yu asked, "Why did you say that? When we arrived at the south gate, Feng'er and the others were already far ahead. As for the need for our help."

Liu Bei was very puzzled when he heard this, and was about to ask, but Liu Feng next to him interjected: "Second Uncle, maybe he doesn't think we are in a mess, but in fact we are already running for our lives, fortunately, Second Uncle, you are behind us Block it for a while, otherwise Feng'er might not be able to come back."

As he said that, Liu Feng made a bow: "You two uncles, I will be worshiped by my nephew as a thank you for saving my life!"

Just as Liu Feng was doing this, I already heard something tricky, so I quietly retreated to Yuxue's side while no one was paying attention, and asked softly, "What's going on?"

Yuxue saw that no one was paying attention, and then replied softly: "Now I regret not agreeing to you and killing Liu Feng."

I looked at him in surprise, and asked, "I thought it was because you wanted to kill him on the spur of the moment? Otherwise, what's going on?"

"Hmph," Yuxue sneered, "If I wanted to kill him, why did he hide it for me? Unfortunately, the truth is that he wanted to kill me."

"What?" I was startled, but I quickly came to my senses.

Indeed, Liu Feng has too many reasons to attack Yuxue. On the one hand, he doesn't like Yuxue's talent and being so reused by me; It is even possible to perceive that I made such an arrangement so that Yuxue could do something to him.

The hatred somewhat blinded my thinking, and I even arranged such a careless link, not to mention killing Liu Feng, but almost killing Yuxue.

Yuxue lowered his voice again and continued: "Among the 3000 people this time, many of them are close friends who have been with Liu Feng. It is estimated that at least half of them will stand on his side, while I only have 200 people. In addition, he was the first Move your hands, the situation is too passive, we were surrounded by layers, and it took a long time to kill a bloody road, and it happened that General Guan's troops came from afar at that time, and Liu Feng didn't dare to do it in front of him. It’s too obvious. We barely managed to escape, and many brothers died.”

The more I listened, the more frightened I became. It seemed that Liu Feng had planned this step beforehand. More than half of the 3000 people were people he could trust, and he might have transferred all his cronies from the entire army.This step is far more sinister than my original plan for Yuxue to assassinate Liu Feng alone. What I want is the lives of Yuxue and the entire Yuxue army. This is undoubtedly to reduce the power that really belongs to me.

"It's just that you're fine, this time it's because I didn't think carefully." I frankly admitted my mistake this time.

Yuxue shook his head: "I think this time proved that you are right, and I was wrong. Although I don't know what happened between Liu Feng and you, but if I do what you say, hmph, As long as I have the heart to attack, no one will be able to guard against it."

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the time being. You should be more careful with Liu Feng in the future, lest he kill people to silence him."

"Well, I was not prepared this time. Now that I know, even if I give him ten times more people, there is no chance of hurting me." There was a fire of revenge in the blood-soaked red pupils, almost as if it had been burned out of purgatory. Same.

The author has something to say:

☆, all know

After a whole night of tossing, the passage between us and Cao Jun was finally temporarily cut off. Xinfan and Xinfan were also temporarily isolated because of the Baihe River. We even found it difficult to accept that Cao Cao's vanguard was so close across the river. The troops are stationed, and we also know that Cao Cao's large troops are on their way, and soon Xinye will be full of Cao troops.

There is really not much time left for us to recuperate, but after the short-term victory of burning Xinye, at least everyone can catch up on a peaceful night after a busy night, but there are many people who do not have this opportunity, such as me.

Zilong found me as soon as he was free.

As soon as we met, he asked, "Do you still owe me anything?"

"what?"

"a kiss."

I felt that my face was burning red, so I had to lower my head not to look at him.

However, what he said next broke the delicate atmosphere: "Also, an explanation."

"What?" The flush on my face quickly faded, and I looked up at him with a bad feeling.

"Do you think I didn't see it? What happened between Liu Feng and Yuxue? In fact, when you made this staffing arrangement, I thought it was strange. What happened last night was even more strange. I asked He refused to say anything except for the blood."

It was rare for Yuxue to be so determined not to tell Zilong. I even wondered if Yuxue guessed something like Xu Feng did.

After thinking about it, I could only speak with difficulty: "What do you think happened?"

Zilong looked at me with a sad expression, and then said quietly: "Do you really think I don't know anything?"

I was stunned and surprised: "You, what do you know?"

"I know you don't want to say it, so I won't say it either. You are afraid that I will do something, so you don't tell me. But now, I'm more worried about whether you have planned something. "

A series of declarative sentences sounded convoluted at first glance, but I understood it in the first second.

He really knows everything.

"You, since when did you know?" Now I feel that I have been hiding it so hard, I am simply a fool.

"Do you think that if I don't know anything, I will really feel at ease to leave you and protect A Dou?" Zilong smiled bitterly, "Actually, since you said that you asked me to protect A Dou, I guessed it a little bit. That night of making the battle plan made me more certain."

"So, in fact, everything is only your guess?" I gasped, I couldn't believe that Zilong could guess so accurately. I found that the more I got in touch with him, the more I realized that he was unfathomable. , can still pretend to be ignorant until now.

"Because I know that every word of yours will not be aimless. You will think of A Dou when you were so painful and difficult at that time. I guessed it."

"Then why didn't you say it?"

"So what if you don't tell me?" Zilong looked at me with pity and love in his eyes, "Actually, what difference does it make if it happened or didn't happen?"

"Zi Long……"

I was about to say something, but I was stopped by Zilong's unexpectedly soft lips.

It's amazing, I didn't have the conditioned reflex to push him away, I just immersed myself in this warm and soft touch, this kiss was extremely long, but extremely short, until I breathed fresh air again I found that I was almost out of breath just now.

Seeing me greedily taking a few breaths of air, Zilong smiled slightly: "Finally, I made up for the kiss I owed me yesterday."

When he said this, I suddenly remembered the expression on the verge of crying when I saw Yuhuo yesterday, and I couldn't bear it.

Zilong could easily see what I was thinking, so he said: "The child Yuhuo used to be like a child who couldn't grow up. Since he fell in love with you, he has grown up. Maybe one day, when he really grows up Only when you grow up will you realize that his love for you is just a yearning for beautiful things."

"You're talking like I'm a thing!" I complained.

"Okay, I was wrong, you are nothing." Zilong teased.

I glared at him angrily: "Can you stop making such silly jokes when I'm thinking about things seriously? Didn't you think that we seem to be a little sorry for the fire?"

"Then what should we do? You mean, do you want to be with him in order to compensate him? Or do you want to enjoy the blessings of everyone?" Although Zilong was also joking, his tone was still sour.

I couldn't help smiling bitterly: "Why do you look more like a child when you talk about this kind of thing?"

But Zilong became serious: "Because I know how difficult it is for me to be with you, so I don't like to hear what you think of others from your mouth, even if it's just out of apology or guilt, I just don't like it." I like that you think of others."

When I heard such straightforward words, I was immediately moved, but I immediately understood an important message in these words.

"Wait! Who said I'm already with you?" I corrected.

"Haha, why don't you admit it? Don't you remember what you said to me yesterday?" Zilong smiled maliciously, "I'm more important than yourself...what can I say ? I seem to have forgotten."

I knew that he was deliberately teasing me to say it again, but I just gave him a blank look: "Then forget it."

While we were bickering, on the other side, in Xinye, something I didn't know was happening.

Just when Cao Ren led the few remaining soldiers to sweep the Xinye battlefield, Cao Cao had already led the army to arrive.

When Cao Cao's army first arrived, Cao Ren's soldiers, who had just experienced Xinye Purgatory, immediately thought they were the enemy, and surrendered almost by reflex.

"What's going on? Where is Cao Ren?" Cao Cao couldn't help shouting when he saw this strange scene.

"My lord!" Cao Ren came to Cao Cao in a little panic, "Zixiao apologizes! It's all because Zixiao was careless, and fell into the tricks of the villager Zhuge! It caused heavy losses to our army, please forgive me, my lord."

Cao Cao wanted to get angry for a while, but he held back and sighed, "What's wrong with Zixiao? Zixiao's fault is the fault of me sending you to be the vanguard, so I should blame myself."

"My lord!" Cao Ren felt even more ashamed when he heard this, "My lord, now that Liu Bei and the others have fled to Fancheng and cut off the bridge to control the boats, we are temporarily unable to cross the river. Please let me know what to do."

Cao Cao frowned slightly, then turned around and asked the counselors following behind him: "What good strategy do you guys have?"

Someone immediately replied: "It is too slow to build a bridge or a ship, and if the ship encounters a water battle, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army. It is better to directly fill the river."

"That's a way, but it's been too long." Cao Cao said.
