After the banquet last night, Cao Jun's low morale was boosted, and his appearance suddenly changed.
And all of this stems from Cao Cao's rewards and tax-free policy. After all, for all Cao Cao's soldiers, they all eat under Cao Cao's hands. Cao Cao is their real food and clothing parent. As long as Cao Cao treats them well and gives them food, under the background of the feudal dynasty, they will definitely Working for Cao Cao! As for everything else, when it comes to a top priority like eating - sorry, please step aside!
Therefore, the influence of Zhuge Liang, Zhou Yu and others' stratagems was instantly weakened to the extreme by Cao Cao's "no taxation" policy - this is authority!
On the second day, after Cao Cao met with Venerable Black Arrow of Tongquetai, he immediately summoned all the generals and conveyed the general orders to each general. Cao Cao's military orders shocked all the officers and soldiers. They knew that the Prime Minister wanted to launch a general offensive. At the same time, this also heralded that their opportunity to make a contribution had arrived - in the eyes of most generals, starting a war with Soochow was Go get military glory for free. Relying on the large number of people and ships, they really do not take Soochow in their eyes.
Of course, there are also some cautious generals among them. For example, Zhang Liao, Cheng Yu, etc. said that the situation on the battlefield was as unpredictable as the wind and clouds, and strongly advised Cao Cao and his soldiers not to underestimate the enemy and to respond with all their strength. After hearing this, Cao Cao felt that it was reasonable, so he told everyone, "Be careful and don't be greedy for merit." Naturally, the generals patted their chests and promised, but it is unknown how many of them really took it to heart.
After the meeting, the generals left Qingtian Pavilion and hurried to their respective camps. They are vying to implement Cao Cao's strategic deployment in order to complete it in the shortest time and attack at the perfect time to gain more military success.
Among them, Yin Kuang passed on Tang Rouyu's general merits to him, and his military rank was promoted to another level. He was named "General Wu Yang" by Cao Cao and commanded 8,000 Jingzhou navy. However, although his military rank was promoted, Cao Cao did not assign him any more tasks this time. For those who have not received a mission, their only mission is to garrison.
Yin Kuang was very unwilling. Although he knew very well that he was promoted too quickly and had no foundation in the army. He was also marginalized and jealous by many generals. In addition, the relationship between the generals in the army was complicated. He wanted to truly command those 8,000 people. It's simply wishful thinking. But he was really unwilling! There were obviously 8,000 people available, but nothing could be done, which made him feel very depressed and annoyed. So after the meeting, Yin Kuang waited outside Qingtian Pavilion. After all the generals left, he asked to see Cao Cao again.
However, Cao Cao's attendants informed him that Cao Cao had left Qingtian Pavilion from another place and headed to a small bamboo forest in the southeast. Yin Kuang naturally knew that the small bamboo forest was Xiao Qiao's temporary residence. It is said that Cao Cao was really kind to Xiao Qiao. He specially ordered the craftsmen to build a small green bamboo building with bamboo. Its style was almost exactly the same as that in Chaisang City in Soochow. In the past, Cao Cao only went there occasionally to drink tea, but in the past few days, he went there more and more frequently. Perhaps Cao Cao thought that he was about to defeat Soochow and he could finally take the beauty back.
Yin Kuang hesitated for a while, then finally gritted his teeth and walked towards the green bamboo forest. When he walked outside the bamboo forest, he happened to meet Qian Qianqian who had returned from an outing. At this time, Qian Qianqian was dressed in a decent maid uniform and looked particularly charming. She was holding a bamboo basket in her hand, and there were some unknown plants in the basket.
"Yin Kuang," Qian Qianqian was slightly surprised. She walked up to Yin Kuang and said, "Why are you here?"
At this time, I don’t know whether Qian Qianqian did it intentionally or unintentionally. She had already reached a position within two meters of Yin Kuang.
After slightly smelling the faint fragrance that hit his nostrils, Yin Kuang couldn't help but recall the "Immortal Grass Tea" he drank at Zhou Yu's house that day. After being stunned for a moment, he smiled and said: "Tang Rouyu said that you were sent to serve by Cao Cao. Xiao Qiao, how are you? Xiao Qiao didn't hurt you, right?" Qian Qianqian shook her head and said: "No... no, really not. Xiao Qiao treats me very well. He also taught me how to make tea and how to play the piano. I really learned a lot in these two days. Sister Xiao Qiao is such a good person, so gentle and virtuous."
Although Yin Kuang cannot read Qian Qianqian's heart, he has a strong ability to observe words and emotions. He could see that Qian Qianqian was a little nervous and hesitant at first, but then she seemed to relax, spoke smoothly, and the smile on her face became natural, and she was faintly happy. Yin Kuang knew that she could read his heart, so he concentrated his mind and stopped thinking about him. He smiled and said, "Don't worry if you don't have it. I have been lucky enough to taste Xiao Qiao's tea art before, but it's a pity... I just stood beside her. The opposite of me. I’m afraid I’ll never have a chance to drink her tea again.”
Qian Qianqian said: "Well... although I am not good at learning, but... if you are not afraid of the bad taste, I can... Ah, by the way, what are you doing here? Outsiders are not allowed to enter here, and trespassers will be killed. Head."
Yin Kuang said: "I heard that the Prime Minister is inside. I came to see him to discuss important matters. Qian Qianqian, if you can, please go in and inform me. This is..." Yin Kuang thought in his heart: "It concerns our class. A matter of success or failure!”
Listening to Yin Kuang's spiritual voice, as if whispering in her ears, Qian Qianqian was a little shy and said: "Okay, I just came back from collecting medicine. I will go and inform you right away. Just wait a moment. However, the Prime Minister will meet you. If I don’t see you, I won’t know.” Yin Kuang sighed: “No matter what, I have to try.”
"Qianqian!" At this time, a cold voice came from the bamboo forest, and then a graceful and graceful figure was seen walking out of the green bamboo. It was Ren Xia, "What are you doing here? Madam has everything she wants. Have you collected everything?" As she said that, she glanced at Yin Kuang coldly, and then looked at Qian Qianqian as if Yin Kuang was nothing.
Qian Qianqian shrunk and said, "Okay, okay, I'll send it to Sister Xiao Qiao right now." As she said that, she winked secretly at Yin Kuang and trotted into the bamboo forest, her figure gradually being revealed by the secret. Covered by green bamboo.
Yin Kuang glanced at Ren Xia and suddenly felt familiar. However, seeing the unhappy look on his face, he didn't bother to talk to her. He casually held his hands and said, "Xia Ren, you are fine."
Ren Xia snorted coldly, shook his head and left.
"This back view..." Yin Kuang's heart suddenly jumped, and then he shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Idiot! Now is not the time for you to think about these nonsense. Besides, you must be overthinking it. The two of them look completely different. One is How is it possible that the phoenixes in the sky are at best reed chickens?" Scratching his head, Yin Kuang looked at the bamboo forest and sighed: "Qian Qianqian, on the other hand, for this woman... Unless she is killed, there is no other way. Treat her well. Such a person who can read my heart is too dangerous if he cannot fully control it. It seems that the relationship with her must be handled well. "
After waiting for a while, Qian Qianqian came out. Looking at her expression, Yin Kuang knew that Cao Cao did not want to see her.
Sure enough, Qian Qianqian said: "Cao Cao said that he won't see you. Also, he said that you only need to do your job well, and you don't need to care about other things."
"Damn it!" Although he had known this would be the result, Yin Kuang couldn't help but grit his teeth and cursed after hearing Qian Qianqian's words.
"Yin Kuang, what should we do now?"
Yin Kuang rolled his eyes, wandered back and forth, and after a final pause, said: "There is no other way! He forced me to do this. If we don't take action, our side will definitely lose, and the whole group will be destroyed! We are forced to this point. ... In this case, let's just do something serious! Qian Qianqian, you go back later and find a way to support Cao Cao, the longer the better. Do you know? Also, be careful yourself. Have a good relationship with Xiao Qiao, I think She won’t embarrass you.”
Qian Qianqian's expression changed, "Yin Kuang, what are you going to do?"
Yin Kuang tightened the green sword in his hand and said: "Do what you should do! Go back and protect yourself." After saying that, Yin Kuang suddenly stepped forward and hugged Qian Qianqian. After about two seconds, Yin Kuang Kuang suddenly let go, turned around, and strode away!
Qian Qianqian stood there with her face flushed, at a loss.
And between the green bamboos not far behind, a pair of bright eyes slowly retreated into the darkness...
