Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 507 Cao Cao's Four Military Advisors

Xi Zhicai also returned to the outside of Xiahou Dun's room.

It was not until late at night that several medical workers came out of the room.

Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and Xu Huang hurried to meet them.

The leading doctor bowed to the four people and said, "The arrow in the left eye has been removed."

"The eyeball has been removed."

"The wound is serious."

"We have stitched up the wound and stopped the bleeding."

"As for whether he can survive, there is nothing we can do."

"We've done our best."

"We're going to stew the medicine now."

After saying that, he walked around the four people and left.

Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and Xu Huang did not say anything else.

The four of them went straight into the room.

Xiahou Dun lay motionless on the bed in the room.

Under the bed, there was a pile of bloodstained cloth.

An arrow lay quietly on the table.

Cao Chun looked down at Xiahou Dun lying on the bed, tears falling down his face.

Seeing this, Xi Zhicai whispered to comfort him: "Zihe, the general died in a hundred battles, there is no need to blame yourself so much."

"You are the commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry."

"If you don't cheer up, what will happen to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

"My lord has high hopes for you."

Cao Chun wiped the tears from her cheeks with her big hands, nodded to Xi Zhicai, and said in a low voice with sobs: "Zhicai, thank you, I won't cry anymore."

"When my brother comes later, I will take all the blame."

"Even if my brother tells me to die, I will accept it."

"It's just that by then, my whole family will have to trouble you, Zhicai."

Xi Zhicai said unhappily, "Don't let your imagination run wild."

"If the lord really blames you, I will stand in front of you even if I die."

"On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind. Who can guarantee victory and immortality?"

Cheng Yu glanced at Xi Zhicai with some depression.

The words were spoken lightly.

This time it was obviously because Xiahou Dun underestimated the enemy, and Cao Chun and Xu Huang failed to persuade him effectively.

They don't take responsibility for the crime, so should I, a military advisor, take it?

Although Cheng Yu was depressed, he couldn't defend himself at this moment.

We can only wait for Cao Cao to speak again.

The group stayed in the room for a long time, and only left when the doctor came to change Xiahou Dun's medicine.

None of the four went to rest, but headed straight for the south gate of the city.

It was not until midnight that Cao Cao was seen leading a large army.

The army entered the city and set up camp outside the north of the city according to the established plan.

Not long after the army entered the city, Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and Xu Huang saw Cao Cao coming slowly in a carriage, surrounded by dozens of generals.

Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and Xu Huang hurried to meet them.

Sitting on the shaft of the carriage was a sturdy man as big as a mountain, carrying a hammer on his back.

Xu Chu, captain of Cao Cao's personal guard.

Seeing Xi Zhicai and the other three coming, Xu Chu lifted the curtain of the carriage and said to the inside: "My lord, they don't seem very happy."

Cao Cao poked his head out and stuffed an orange into Xu Chu's mouth. He smiled at Xi Zhicai, Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and Xu Huang and said, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Don't tell me that we ran into the Hebei Army and were defeated."

The carriage stopped.

Xi Zhicai and four others arrived.

Xi Zhicai said with an embarrassed look: "My lord, we have indeed lost the battle."

Cao Cao laughed a few times and got out of the carriage.

Xu Chu hurriedly dismounted and lay on the ground. Cao Cao stepped over Xu Chu's back, got off the carriage, and said with a smile: "Victory and defeat are common in the military, why are you so sad?"

"Back then, I was often defeated in battles."

"As a man, if you are still alive, you will always be able to make a comeback."

Xu Chu stood up, took the orange from Cao Cao's hand, stuffed it into his mouth, and nodded quickly, saying, "My lord, what you said makes sense!"

Two more figures emerged from the carriage.

The man in front was thin and had a long beard. It was Xun You.

Behind Xun You, there was a man who was curled up in a sable fur coat, with his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking like a little old man.

This person's name is Jia Xu.

A few years ago, Cao Cao led his army to attack Wancheng, and Jia Xu brought the lord of Wancheng, Zhang Xiu, to surrender.

Some time ago, Jia Xu was appointed military advisor by Cao Cao to assist Xiahou Dun in leading the army to fight against Yuan Tan in Qingzhou.

Jia Xu used a trick and almost wiped out Yuan Tan's 50,000-strong army in Qingzhou.

This time, when Cao Cao heard about the rebellion in Yecheng, Hebei, and the deaths of Yuan Shao and Gao Gan in the battle, Cao Cao decided to lead 50,000 troops north, let his eldest son Cao Ang sit in Xu Du, and personally bring four military advisors with him.

The four great military strategists are: Xun You, Xi Zhicai, Jia Xu and Cheng Yu.

Xun You came out and heard what Cao Cao said. He looked at Xu Huang and asked, "Where is General Xiahou?"

Xu Huang shrank back a little.

Cheng Yu stepped forward, sighed, and told the story of Xiahou Dun.

The smile on Cao Cao's face disappeared instantly.

After taking a deep look at Cheng Yu and Xu Huang, Cao Cao quickly walked towards the city and shouted, "Lead the way!"

Xu Huang hurriedly trotted forward.

Xun You frowned.

Jia Xu followed behind everyone, squinting his eyes, yawning, looking sleepy.

The group rushed to Xiahou Dun's residence.

Only Cao Cao went in.

Everyone else stayed outside.

Xun You looked at Cheng Yu and said with some disgust: "My lord asked you to be careful before going to war, just to guard against General Xiahou's recklessness."

"Moreover, we have equipped you with 20,000 troops as the vanguard."

"You actually allowed General Xiahou to lead 3,000 soldiers to fight!"

Cheng Yu lowered his head, looked bitter, and said nothing.

Xu Huang felt a little reluctant when he saw this, and said, "General Xiahou is the governor of Yanzhou, a clan general, and a fake imperial seal. We have all tried to persuade him, but he won't listen. What can we do?"

Xun You looked at Xu Huang.

Xu Huang looked at Xun You aggrievedly.

Xun You didn't say anything else.

After he defected to Cao Cao, he got to know all the generals under Cao Cao.

Xu Huang is honest and loyal and would never lie.

Although the current situation made him speechless and angry.

But since he said so, that should be the problem.

Moreover, as the head of Cao Cao's relatives, Xiahou Dun was submissive when facing Cao Cao.

When facing other people, Xiahou Dun is unruly.

Cheng Yu looked at Xu Huang with some gratitude.

No one spoke anymore.

After a long time, Cao Cao came out with red eyes and motioned everyone to follow him to the hall.

Cao Cao sat in the first seat.

The maid brought hot tea and cakes and left.

Cao Cao motioned for everyone to sit down, took a sip of hot tea, and forced himself to suppress the sadness and anger in his heart. He said, "It has already happened. If Yuan Rang can't make it today, it is his fate."

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and Xu Huang and said, "Swords and spears have no eyes. It is the honor of every general to die on the battlefield. Don't think too much about it."

Cheng Yu, Cao Chun and Xu Huang all breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao then continued, "Tell me what you think of this 1,000-man cavalry."

"That boy, why does he dare to appear here?"
