Chapter 76: Tolerance

Although this is only one word different from a scolding formation, the difference is very big.

In comparison, when this general scolds the formation, his words must be much ugly. Generally, even the other party's more than ten generations of ancestors are greeted. If he is scolded by others and he still doesn't go out to fight, it will have a great impact on his own morale. People who practice martial arts are already a bit rough, and when they scold, it can be said that it is so ugly and rude.

Guan Yu is the world's number one military general, with an extraordinary identity. When Guan Yu was in front of the formation, he naturally would not scold him, but Guan Ping could not control so much. Seeing that Cao Ren and Xu Huang could not come out, he naturally started scolding him.

In the camp, Xu Huang clenched his fists tightly. Xu Huang had never been treated like this in his life. He was blocked at the door and scolded him. He could not fight yet. This battle was really cowardly.

Cao Ren next to him was much deeper than Xu Huang's mansion. Seeing Xu Huang's appearance, he hurriedly stepped forward and comforted him: "Gongming, don't care. Guan Ping is just to lure you and me out. Brother, I ordered us to stick to this place and not go out to fight Guan Yu. We should stay here with peace of mind!"

Xu Huang nodded. If he went out to fight, he would be a little dead in battle. If Guan Yu caught the opportunity to run away, Cao Cao's overall plan would be broken. It seems that he can only endure it now!

Guan Ping cursed for a long time, but the enemy still did not show up, and he felt a little depressed. So Guan Ping returned to the camp, Zhou Cang and Liao Hua came out again, cursing in front of the formation.

Liao Hua and Zhou Cang are both bandits, and they are several levels higher than Guan Ping when scolding others. However, Cao Ren and Xu Huang on the opposite side made up their minds and couldn't come out. Liao Hua and Zhou Cang cursed for a long time and had to return without success.

Guan Yu sat in the tent with his brows frowning. He didn't come out, but he was just guarding the camp. Since then, the other party has no flaws. How could he break through!

"Second uncle, are you looking for me?" Guan Yu looked up and saw that Adou had already come closer.

"Adou, look at Cao Ren and Xu Huang who refused to fight, what should we do?" Guan Yu asked.

Although Guan Yu was a little stubborn, after Maicheng's defeat, this shortcoming has changed a lot and he began to learn to listen to other people's opinions. However, the people in Guan Yu's army, whether Guan Ping or Liao Hua, have become accustomed to Guan Yu's habits on weekdays. Guan Yu said one is one, and two is two, but he has no opinion. Before, when Ma Liang was there, Guan Yu discussed with Ma Liang when he encountered something, but now Ma Liang has gone to Shuzhong, so now that he can discuss with Guan Yu, only A Dou is the only one.

A Dou also saw the scene during the day. Cao Ren and Xu Huang just made up their minds and A Dou had a headache. It seemed that they couldn't scold them anymore, so they had to think of other ways.

Thinking of this, Adou's mind wandered around. Since he couldn't scold him, he would try to be excited. He didn't believe that Cao Ren and Xu Huang could not tolerate him like Sima Yi!

"Uncle Second, I don't think so..."

Adou told Guan Yu about his plan. Guan Yu frowned and said unhappily: "Adou, I have met Xu Huang at least. Is this too much?"

"Uncle Second, on the battlefield, we are doing everything we can, so how can we say it too much? Besides, our top priority is to go to Shangyong, so we don't care about so much at this time!"

Guan Yu nodded: "Since that's the case, then do what you said!"

Cao Ren's camp.

Cao Ren gently took out his ears. Guan Yu sent someone to scold him for a whole day yesterday. It seemed that he was tired of scolding. Today it was almost noon, and Guan Yu had not come out to call.

"General, someone outside claims to be Guan Yu's envoy. When he comes, he sees the general!" The school came over to report.

"The envoy sent by Guan Yu?" Cao Ren was slightly stunned.

Xu Huang next to him said, "Hmph! I guess he cursed yesterday for a day but didn't see us coming out, so I'll just come and write a letter of war today!"

Cao Ren nodded. Xu Huang’s words made sense. This messenger was probably here to issue a letter of war!

"Please come in!"

After a while, a middle-aged man walked in and said, "I'm here Zhao Lei, I've seen General Cao Ren!"

Cao Ren originally thought that what he came was just an ordinary messenger, but he didn't expect that what he came was Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei is the former governor of Guan Yu and has some status in Guan Yu's army.

"General Zhao, are you here to issue a letter of war this time?" Cao Ren asked.

"Not nor is it!" Zhao Lei hurriedly denied: "I did not come for the letter of war. In fact, my general has a gift to give to you."

"Gift? What gift?"

"Come, send the gift!" Zhao Lei said, and saw a soldier behind him holding a box in his hand, and then put the box in the tent.

"The gift has been brought, so I will say goodbye!" Zhao Lei bowed gently at Cao Ren, then turned around and left.

Cao Ren and Xu Huang looked at each other, and at this time neither of them knew what the hell was selling in Guan Yu’s gourd.

"Brother Zixiao, are you watching?" Xu Huang pointed to the box and asked.

Cao Ren shook his head: "Come on, open these two boxes and take a look!"

The guard hurried over and opened the box. Cao Ren and Xu Huang looked into the box at the same time. When they saw the thing in the box, their faces changed drastically.

In the two boxes, there were women's clothes on each of them!

It was a very cliché move, but it was also a very effective move. This move was not created by Adou. Zhuge Liang used this move against Sima Yi in the last Northern Expedition, but Sima Yi was too tolerant and dared to wear it and try to fit it.

However, Xu Huang and Cao Ren in front of him were not Sima Yi, and they were not as capable as Sima Yi.

"Bang!" A loud bang came, and Xu Huang slapped the table, and then the table was slapped in two pieces by Xu Huang!

Guan Yu actually said that he was a woman! Xu Huang had never been humiliated like this in his life!

"Damn it, this Guan Yu is so hateful! Guan Yu, I have met you at least, and you actually humiliated me in this way! Is it unbearable..." Xu Huang jumped up from the side and shouted loudly: "Come on, come and get my big axe. I want to go out of the camp and fight to the death with Guan Yu!"

"Gongming, wait!" Cao Ren was also very angry at this time, and a hint of urge to go out and fight Guan Yu with great difficulty, but the only reason still made Cao Ren restrain himself.

"Brother Zixiao, I know you want to persuade me again! But how can a real man be so humiliated? If you don't take this revenge, I, Xu Huang, will be a vain..." As he said that, Xu Huang took the axe handed over by his subordinates and was about to leave the camp.

"Gongming! Gongming!" Cao Ren was about to stop Xu Huang, but at this time the school ran in from outside the tent and said, "Report to the two generals, the Prime Minister's reinforcements have arrived!"

"Really! Gongming, follow me to welcome your brother!" Cao Ren said without saying a word, pulling Xu Huang away.

As the saying goes, things have priority. When Xu Huang saw this situation, he was not suitable to go out and fight with Guan Yu, so he had to follow Cao Ren to greet reinforcements first.

When they arrived at the north side of the camp, Cao Ren and Xu Huang looked forward and saw a big flag floating in the air. On the flag, a big word "Cao" flew with the wind, followed by many soldiers. The front row was all cavalry, all of which were tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao.

Xu Huang frowned. Although the word "Cao" was written on the flag, it was not Cao Cao. Cao Cao is now the King of Wei, so Cao Cao naturally has to be very grand when traveling. He felt that he would not use only a big flag to rush the scene.

Sure enough, when the team of people approached, Cao Ren and Xu Huang finally saw clearly that the person who came was not Cao Cao, but Cao Zhen.

Cao Zhen also saw Cao Ren from afar, immediately urged him to come forward, approach Cao Ren, and spoke up and said, "Cao Zhen has seen his uncle!"

Cao Zhen was Cao Cao's adopted son, so Cao Zhen had to call Cao Ren an uncle.

Cao Ren nodded, helped Cao Zhen up, and asked, "Zi Dan, can my brother be there?"

"My father ordered me to bring 10,000 troops to help my uncle resist Guan Yu. My father's army will arrive later!" Cao Zhen replied.

Cao Ren nodded. Although he didn't say anything, he was a little dissatisfied. He thought Cao Cao had to send him 30,000 to 40,000 people, but he didn't expect that only 10,000 people came.

Cao Zhen also saw Cao Ren's thoughts and hurriedly explained: "When my nephew came, I heard that Wei Yan and Ma Chao led 40,000 troops out of Yangping Pass. My father was afraid that there would be any mistakes in the Yongliang Prefectures, so he sent 80,000 troops to intercept Wei Yan!"

Cao Ren then realized that Wei Yan and Ma Chao had actually left Yangping Pass and restrained Cao Cao's 80,000 troops at once, so he did not have much force to support him.

But 10,000 is just 10,000, which is better than nothing. Thinking of this, Cao Ren pulled Cao Zhen and walked towards the camp.

At this moment, a small school rushed from a distance.

"Report to the general, the scout just came to report that the Shu army was found fifty miles southwest of Xiangyang City!"

"Shu army? How many people are there? Who are the leaders?" Cao Ren asked hurriedly.

"Return to the general, there are about 10,000 enemies, and the ones leading the troops are Meng Da and Liu Feng!"

Cao Ren nodded: "This must be Meng Da and Liu Feng's return to the direction of Linju!"

Seeing Cao Zhen's puzzled expression, Cao Ren explained: "Meng Da and Liu Feng led 10,000 troops, pretending to be 20,000 people to go to Linju. The purpose was to attract Lu Meng's attention. Another 10,000 people went straight from Xiangyang to Maicheng and rescued Guan Yu and broke through!"

Cao Ren had already sent people to pay attention to the movements of Meng Da and Liu Feng, the ten thousand soldiers. Originally, Cao Ren thought that Liu Feng should lead his troops to Maicheng. After all, the troops passed by Xiangyang a few days ago were under the banner of Liu Feng, but unexpectedly, after investigation, Liu Feng was actually with Meng Da. Cao Ren realized that the one who led his troops to Xiangyang a few days ago was probably not Liu Feng, but was just under the banner of Liu Feng.

Now that Meng Da and Liu Feng are back, they should go straight to Shangyong, but they didn't expect that these two people would dare to come to Xiangyang. It seems that they are preparing to pick up Guan Yu.

Cao Ren's camp stood on the road south of Xiangyang, on the north side of Jingshan, while Meng Da was originally on the south side of Jingshan, and just bypassing Jingshan, you will reach the northwest of Cao Ren.

Now Cao Ren's camp is empty and completely unprepared. If he divides his troops to defend the north, Guan Yu will have an opportunity to take advantage of the south. If he does not divide his troops to defend the north, Meng Da and Guan Yu will attack him on both sides, and he will be in danger.

It seems that people must be sent to intercept Meng Da’s ten thousand soldiers!

Thinking of this, Cao Ren's eyes turned to Xu Huang.

Cao Ren secretly looked at Xu Huang. Xu Huang was going to fight with Guan Yu just now, but he was disrupted by Cao Zhen's arrival. If Xu Huang remembered this matter again and went out to fight with Guan Yu, it would be difficult to deal with. Now Meng Da is here, and he happened to take this opportunity to send Xu Huang away.

"Uncle, let me intercept Mengda!" Cao Zhen immediately asked for a fight.

Cao Ren glared at Cao Zhen and thought to himself, "What are you here to mess with at this time!" If you go, how can I send Xu Huang away?" So Cao Ren said, "Zi Dan, you have just come here, you are exhausted, so you should pay for a break."

Then Cao Ren turned around and said to him: "Xu Huang listened to the order!"

"The last one is here!" Xu Huang stood up subconsciously.

"I ordered you to bring eight thousand men and horses to stop Meng Da!"

"The last general will take the order!" Xu Huang said.

"Gongming, this time the interception of Meng Da is quite a bit bad. Now our few soldiers are attacked by Meng Da and attacked Guan Yu on both sides, we will definitely be defeated! So Gongming, you can only win and not defeat this time!" Cao Ren continued to instruct.

"Don't worry, General, then leave Meng Da to me!"

Guan Yu Camp.

Adou sent two sets of women's clothes over, then began to pinch his fingers and count the time to see when Cao Ren and Xu Huang came out.

But after waiting for a long time, neither Cao Ren nor Xu Huang came out, which made A Dou feel a little depressed. Unexpectedly, Cao Ren and Xu Huang were so tolerant, and they were both comparable to Sima Yi. It seems that they still underestimate the heroes of the world.

Guan Yu came to Adou's tent and saw Adou wandering around the tent inside. He took back one foot that he wanted to step in. Then Guan Yu sighed softly, turned around, and was about to leave.

Adou had heard that someone had already arrived outside. Judging from the weight of his footsteps and the frequency of his footsteps, he was Guan Yu. But unexpectedly, Guan Yu had arrived at the door and turned around and wanted to leave.

"Second Uncle, you are here!" Adou hurriedly met him.

Guan Yu turned his head and looked at Adou, looking like he was eager to speak but stopped.
