Xiahou Dun also snorted coldly and turned his head away.

"Yuan asked you to take the soldiers away first. I will talk to Meng De when he comes. Restrain your subordinates and don't disturb the people and looting. Otherwise, I will punish you on behalf of Xuzhou Mu." After ordering, although Xiahou Dun was not a little sullen, he didn't dare to explode, and retreated with his hands clasped.

After Xiahou Dun left, Xu Ding led the army into the city.

However, the city gate was closed at this time, and Cao Bao didn't seem to want to let him in.

Xu Ding raised his head and looked in the direction of the tower gate, Huang Zhong shouted dissatisfiedly, "What's the meaning of this?"

Cao Bao didn't dare to look directly at Xu Ding and Huang Zhong, so he glanced at a general surnamed Cao next to him, who bit the bullet and poked his head out and said, "I'm sorry, my lord, you have a close relationship with Cao Jun, and I will wait for everyone in the city." Thinking about the safety of thousands of people, I also invite the princes and marquises to camp in the north of the city..."

Xu Ding frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Han Sheng shoot him!"

Huang Zhong was ordered to lift his bow and shoot, and the arrow flew away. The general of the Cao family who had just replied fell on his back on the city wall.

This frightened Cao Bao and the defenders in the city.

Xu Ding even shot people with arrows without saying a word.

They don't take Xuzhou seriously.

Cao Bao waved his knife and said, "Get ready, get ready to fight back!"

A group of Xuzhou soldiers were a little timid, but they had no choice but to hold their swords and guns and draw their bows, but they stayed far away from the wall.

"Xu Ding, are you going to follow Cao Cao to attack me in Xuzhou?" Cao Bao didn't dare to show his head, leaning on a big pillar of the gate tower and asked.

Xu Ding turned up his lips slightly and said with a sneer: "When Xuzhou became your Cao Bao's, did brother Gongzu pass away with the scriptures, no, even if Gongzu is gone, his two sons should inherit it Xuzhou Mu, when will it be your turn, Cao Bao, oh, I understand, you killed both of them."

"Fart, Xu Ding, please don't talk nonsense." Cao Bao jumped up angrily when he heard Xu Ding's words, and hurriedly said: "The lord is sick, and now the Xuzhou military is under my management. Xu Ding, please don't talk nonsense. The safety of the county will definitely not let you enter the city, who knows what agreement you have with Cao Cao, you can't take the opportunity to carve up my Xuzhou!"

Xu Ding slandered him, and he also wanted to pour dirty water on Xu Ding, but he forgot one thing, he was the one who slandered Xu Ding first, and then refused to open the city gate.

"Okay! You really don't like it!" Xu Ding asked again.

Cao Bao said: "No, unless you can drive Cao Cao away!"

Xu Ding said: "Okay, just don't drive it forever, don't come out and beg me then!"

After finishing speaking, Xu Ding patted on the horse and left.

The army then turned back to the north, and found a place to set up camp.

"Please, what a joke!" Cao Bao looked at the direction where Xu Ding left, not to mention how comfortable he was, Xu Ding, you really are here in Qingzhou and Pingzhou.

Soon Cao Cao also came to Tan County with his army.

"My lord, I am incompetent. I failed to capture Tan County. Please punish me, my lord!" Xiahou Dun immediately pleaded guilty.

Cao Cao helped him up and said, "I don't blame you for this. Bokang came too fast. Your troops are not as many as him. Moreover, he is a cavalry soldier. It is the greatest credit that you didn't fight him recklessly!"

Once the fight started, Xiahou Dun's entire army would be wiped out, and Xu Ding himself would be beheaded. Cao Cao had no doubts about this.

So he didn't mean to blame, and comforted Xiahou Dun with kind words. Cao Cao asked the crowd: "Since Bokang arrived, Tan County may be difficult to fight. What do you think?"

Most of Cao Cao's generals had old friendship with Xu Ding, and all of them were silent, especially the Cao family and Xiahou's family who were the most angry, and they didn't say much.

"My lord, I heard that the Marquis of Weihai came to help Xuzhou, but was rejected by Cao Bao in the north of the city. Can we invite the Marquis of Weihai to come over?" Chen Deng said with a smile.

Everyone knew that Chen Deng had a grudge against Xu Ding, so what was Chen Deng's intention in making this statement at this time is intriguing.

But what he said was an important message.

Xu Ding didn't enter Tan County, and was blocked by Cao Bao outside the city, which was a bit of a doorway and a turning point.

Xuzhou didn't trust Xu Ding, fearing that he would take the opportunity to carve up and annex Xuzhou.

Old man Tao Qian, what the hell is he doing if he doesn't come out to do geology?

Cao Cao thought for a while, and then said: "It's possible, first talk to Bokang, we can't just fight with each other for no reason and make others laugh.

"Invite me to Meng De's big camp to reminisce about the past!" Xu Ding held the letter from Cao Hong, nodded and said, "Okay! Tell Meng De, don't talk about reminiscing about the past, I will go to the Hongmen Banquet!"

Cao Hong looked a little embarrassed, and when he received the reply, he withdrew and said, "Then wait for Bokang!"

Chapter 486 Cao Cao's Retreat

into the night!

Xu Ding came to Cao Ying for the banquet on time.

Cao Cao greeted him personally outside the gate of the camp, Xu Ding entered the Cao camp openly, and walked into Cao Cao's big tent step by step under the watchful eyes of Cao Jun.

For Cao Jun, Xu Ding was a more legendary figure than their lord.

One of the most famous princes in the Han Dynasty, a big man who conquered the world.

It's rare to be lucky enough to witness it.

What's even more rare is that he dared to come to the banquet at this juncture, which made Cao Jun feel admiration.

Check in and take your seat!

Set up a banquet to eat wine and meat.

Cao Cao's words did not mention the matter of coming to Xuzhou, Xu Ding only smiled and raised his glass to drink.

The atmosphere is weird and awkward.

Xu Ding and Cao Cao had a pleasant conversation, but the civil and military personnel below carefully watched the interaction between the two.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five tastes, Cao Cao was about to speak, Xu Ding said first through his drunkenness: "Why did Mengde have a banquet without a beautiful woman to accompany the dance to enjoy with the generals? How about two people dancing with swords to cheer for the fun? It's a pity that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu The King of Han was invited to a banquet, but Xiang Zhuang, Fan Kui, and Xiang Bo took turns to appear on the stage, it was very lively, and left a good story through the ages, there is nothing wrong with you!"

"Uh...!" Cao Cao paused, then smiled and said, "Bokang was joking, your martial arts are the best in the world, and your swordsmanship is even better than a sword master and sword fairy. Who would dare to make a fool of yourself in front of you? I'm not Xiang Yu, you Nor is it the King of Han."

"That's right! I'm not Xiang Yu, and you're not the King of Han. We're all just courtiers of the great Han, but we're lucky enough to guard one side, to protect the people and protect the country, instead of fighting all over the world and ruining the common people!" Xu Ding raised his head and drank a glass, and Hong Sheng laughed.

How could Cao Cao fail to understand what Xu Ding said, that he was getting drunk to persuade him not to start a war and return to Yanzhou properly.

Originally, he wanted to persuade Xu Ding not to meddle in Xuzhou's affairs, so as not to embarrass each other and cause grudges.

Unexpectedly, Xu Ding spoke first.

But he was determined, Xuzhou was determined to win, how could he let it go easily, and said: "Bokang, I also want to stay in the state and county quietly, but everything is impermanent, some things are not what I want, God's will is unpredictable! "

"Yes! God's will is unpredictable, and some things are not what you think. I just ask why you are here?" Xu Ding looked up at Cao Cao.
