against Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao’s transformation can be said to be quite rapid!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before, he still had fantasies about the Han court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he only wants to achieve his own hegemony as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this crusade against Dong Zhuo, if he can win, he will win.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he can’t win, he will try his best to maintain his own strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What Mengde said is very true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as Gu Linzhi doesn’t take the initiative to leave the pass to fight you and me, there shouldn’t be too much loss in this battle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan responded to Cao Cao with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the smiles on their faces could disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several messengers ran over quickly and reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something terrible has happened!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Xiong has led 50,000 troops out of Sishui Pass and is rushing toward our army!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thump!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao almost fell to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were just discussing whether Gu Yi would take the initiative to send troops out of the pass to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t expect this scoundrel to come so soon!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sigh, it seems that losses are inevitable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao sighed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, he really didn’t want to fight Gu Yi now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, so many Guandong warlords couldn’t get any benefit from Gu Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this time, I’m afraid it will be equally difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, forget it, the arrow is on the string and must be fired.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Youzhou warriors have no cowards!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan said loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, he issued combat orders to several of his subordinate generals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao’s side followed closely behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Yu Jin, Li Dian, Yue Jin, Cao Chun, and other Cao camp generals were soon in their respective positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao were ready to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, several more messengers ran over quickly from not far away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Xiong has led his army back to Sishui Pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say???\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao looked at each other after hearing the messenger’s report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The messenger also felt very innocent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That scoundrel Hua Xiong had originally led his army down from Sishui Pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For some reason, he suddenly retreated back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Isn’t this just messing around?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How can you say you’re going to fight and then suddenly not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan couldn’t help complaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clearly didn’t quite understand the brain circuits of the Sishui Pass defenders opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Forget it, forget it, Brother Bo Gui.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since the Dong Zhuo army at Sishui Pass has retreated, let’s quickly let our soldiers make a fire, cook, and rest.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao appeared much calmer than Gongsun Zan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although his intuition told him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is a high probability that there is something fishy about Hua Xiong’s sudden retreat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he couldn’t think of why Hua Xiong would suddenly retreat for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, it was time to make a fire and cook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it was the soldiers under Gongsun Zan or the soldiers under Cao Cao, they were already hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two quarters of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan intended to let their soldiers eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, several more messengers ran over from not far away and reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Xiong has led 50,000 troops out of Sishui Pass again and is heading straight for our army!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rice bowls that Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan had just picked up were instantly put down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn Hua Xiong! Are you going to fight or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you coming over again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan was so angry that his face turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his relatively straightforward personality, he really couldn’t understand what kind of tricks these Dong Zhuo soldiers at Sishui Pass were playing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That scoundrel Hua Xiong is just a brute; he definitely doesn’t have the brains for this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person who ordered the Sishui Pass defenders to do this is nine times out of ten that Gu Linzhi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao analyzed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, even if he guessed that it might be Gu Yi messing with their minds, Cao Cao didn’t have any good response at the moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he ignored it and let the soldiers continue to eat, what if Hua Xiong really attacked later?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, the soldiers of the Cao army and the Gongsun Zan army who were eating would instantly become live targets for the Sishui Pass defenders!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan had no choice but to order the whole army to stop eating and pick up their weapons to prepare for battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another messenger came over and reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Xiong has led his army back to Sishui Pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan ordered again, letting their soldiers prepare to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, only two or three minutes passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another messenger arrived and reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Xiong is leading his army to kill this way again!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only Gongsun Zan, but even Cao Cao couldn’t help it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slapped the messenger who came to report across the face with a \"smack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you look carefully before reporting?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did that scoundrel Hua Xiong come or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao was about to explode with anger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was advising Yuan Shao yesterday to keep his reason at all times and not be clouded by anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, he really couldn’t bear being messed with by Gu Yi and Hua Xiong like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just the time it takes to eat a meal!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing so many tricks.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It’s clearly trying to make people uncomfortable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan didn’t say a word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the expression on his face, as black as the bottom of a pot, had already betrayed his true emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the fact that he and Cao Cao were shouldering the heavy responsibility of acting as a diversion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably would have patted his butt and turned around to run away with his army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But... the messengers were also very wronged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They looked carefully every time before coming to report.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t expect to be slapped by Cao Cao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao let out a long breath to relieve his bad mood that was about to explode!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Bo Gui, I think you and I should let our soldiers maintain a state of combat readiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In case Hua Xiong really attacks, the consequences will be unimaginable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao said to Gongsun Zan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the two ordered the whole army to maintain a state of combat readiness again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However... the hungry soldiers had already reached their limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veterans were relatively better off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new recruits were filled with a desire for food at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the existence of military discipline and rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These soldiers would probably have rushed up like hungry tigers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another half an hour passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A new round of messengers returned and reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Report!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Xiong has led his army back into Sishui Pass.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao and Gongsun Zan collapsed on the ground together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being messed with back and forth like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let alone the ordinary soldiers, even they were starving to death at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quickly picked up their rice bowls and ate a few mouthfuls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Cao Cao could swallow the food in his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several messengers ran over and reported:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hua Xiong has led his army to kill this way again...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahhhhhhh!!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am so angry!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a state of anger, Cao Cao slammed his rice bowl to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gongsun Zan, who was on the side, also had his chest heaving with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, calm down, calm down!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t be deceived by the treacherous schemes of that scoundrel Gu Linzhi.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Zhicai and Cheng Yu, who heard the news, quickly came to persuade Cao Cao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There are currently three military strategists under Cao Cao’s command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one serving as the chief steward of the Cao camp is naturally the head of the Yingchuan faction, Xun Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The remaining two are Cheng Yu, a local from Yanzhou, and Xi Zhicai from Yingchuan, who came for his reputation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(PS: Xi Zhicai is clearly recorded as being from Yingchuan, Yuzhou, not a Yanzhou person as set in some other novels.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Guo Jia, Xun You, Man Chong, Liu Ye, and others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They have not yet joined Cao Cao’s camp at this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The identity played by Xun Yu is similar to Li Ru.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When encountering war, he naturally needs to stay in the rear to coordinate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the heavy responsibility of advising Cao Cao on the front line fell on Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the persuasion of Cheng Yu and Xi Zhicai, the expression on Cao Cao’s face eased a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was still getting angrier the more he thought about it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to grab all the messengers and chop them all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Cao Cao was about to be clouded by anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gentle and elegant Xi Zhicai said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My Lord, this Gu Linzhi just wants to use such a strategy to break our army’s morale.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since that’s the case, why not do the opposite?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let the soldiers finish their lunch and then continue to enter a state of combat readiness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, the soldiers will not only be unable to raise any fighting spirit, but their hearts will also be full of complaints.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After listening to what Xi Zhicai said, Cao Cao thought about it, and it was indeed the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Might as well be a little bolder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let the soldiers finish their lunch first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finishing lunch, even if Hua Xiong really leads his army to kill, the Gongsun Zan army and the Cao army can calmly deal with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Cao immediately ordered the soldiers to continue eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little did he know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Hua Xiong is really \"the wolf is coming\"!\u003C\u002Fp>",1679,"2026-06-16T10:17:20.643Z","2026-06-16T10:29:10.858Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash
