Cao Cao smiled and said self-deprecatingly: "That's a wise man! If I want to be really wise, this battle will not be so irritating!" Then he couldn't help but curse: "That hateful old boy, I really underestimate him!"

Xun You couldn't help but clasp his fists and said, "Prime Minister, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Cao Cao waved his hand and said angrily: "What should I say or not! Just say something!" "Yes. Prime Minister, the second young master's attack is frustrated and his morale is sluggish. Our army has been attacked for a long time and has not yet taken down Xuzhou City. Today's battle can be said to have exhausted his spirit! Now that the morale of the entire army is depressed, if it continues, it may be a waste of money, food, and soldiers. My subordinates think that since there is no benefit in fighting again, it is better to withdraw the troops here! After all, it has occupied Qingzhou and Xiaopei, which can be considered a great victory!"

Cao Cao smiled and patted Xun You on the shoulder, "Gongda, you are finding a way for me!" Xun You hurriedly bowed: "I don't dare!"

Cao Cao thought for a moment and sighed, "You are right. If the war reaches this point, it will be useless to fight again! Retreat!" Xun You was happy and said, "Prime Minister is wise!"

Ailang, Chen Gong and Dian Wei slipped onto the street. At this time, the sky was already dark, and the street was brightly lit and crowded with people coming and going! Not far away, there was a very gorgeous wooden building with red and colorful colors. The door was crowded with the city, and a few women with heavy makeup were recruiting customers at the door, with a coquettish voice and lewd speech very attractive! Needless to say, that was the brothel! Although Ailang heard that the business of brothels had become particularly good, he did not expect that it would be so good. This was just like the ones at the cinema gate when popular blockbusters were released in later generations! ~

He turned around and asked Chen Gong, "Old Chen, do you know any better restaurants in the city?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "The General's question has stumped me! I really didn't pay attention to this matter! Hey! General, look!" As he said that, he pointed to the intersection not far from the left. Ailang looked in the direction of his finger and saw a three-story wooden building with bright lights. The lobby on the first floor was noisy, as if it was full of guests! Ailang laughed, "That restaurant seems good! Let's go there to eat!" As he said that, he walked towards the restaurant first. Chen Gong and Dianwei quickly followed.

When he arrived at the gate, he looked up and saw three big words "Huainan Tower" written on the plaque along the door. Ailang suddenly felt aroused and said, "Huainan Tower? There is also a Huainan Tower in Shouchun. I wonder if these two companies are the same boss?" Then he smiled and said, "No matter who his boss is, we just want a full meal!" As he said that, the bento walked into the gate first, and Dian Wei Chengong followed in.

A waiter immediately came up to meet him, and asked with a smile on his waist and said, "Do you want to drink?"

Ailang smiled and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? Why don't you do if you don't drink?"

The waiter quickly replied: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, are too stupid to ask!"

Ailang asked, “Is there any private room?”

The waiter smiled and said, "It happened that the guest official came. There was a private room. Please come with the younger one." As he said that, he led the way first, led the three of them up the stairs, and walked towards the second floor. At this time, several drunkards were coming downstairs, one of the young men was drunk and shouting, and their companions supported him while echoing. Several drunkards went downstairs from Ailang and the others.

The waiter claimed the crime against Ailang and the other two, and then led the three to a private room on the second floor. The waiter shook his waist and asked Ailang, "I wonder what the guest wants to eat?" He saw that Dian Wei and Chen Gong both looked at Ailang's horse and knew that Ailang was the highest among the three, so he asked Ailang. Ailang said, "Beef and fish, look at each of them, and two more vegetables, just do whatever you want, and two jars of fine wine and a pot of rice." The waiter responded and prepared to prepare the wine and food. Ailang suddenly stopped him: "Wait a minute!" The waiter quickly turned around and asked, "What else do you have to do with the guest?"

Ailang said: "I also visited a Huainan Building when I was in Shouchun. But the Huainan Building there blatantly slaughtered customers, and I almost suffered a loss. You guys are not like this, right?"

The waiter hurriedly said, "The guest official doesn't know that our Huainan Building is a famous store, but it was ruined by Zhao San's takeover of our Huainan Building. The situation is different now. The government has handed over the Huainan Building to our lady. Now the one who runs the Huainan Building is the only daughter of the boss Mr. Bu. The Huainan Building not only restores its appearance in the hands of the lady, but also becomes more prosperous! This Huainan Building in Xuzhou is the newly opened branch of our lady not long ago! The guest official can taste the food and food of the small store. If the taste is still as bad as Zhao San's when he was operating, the small store is willing to pay for the money!"

Seeing that the waiter was very talkative, Ailang couldn't help but ask, "Are you really just a waiter? How could you make such a decision?"

"To be honest, the villain is the shopkeeper of this restaurant. Because there are too many customers, the waiter in the store is too busy, so the villain has to start the waiter's business temporarily."

Ailang smiled and said, "So that's the case. Okay, go and prepare the wine and food."

The shopkeeper said a while and then walked away quickly.

When the shopkeeper went out, Ai Lang asked Chen Gong: "Old minister, I remember that the case of Huainan Tower seemed to have been punished by Han Xian? How did it be punished?" Chen Gong said: "At that time, according to the general's wishes, he was dealt with according to military law. Because there was no evidence that Han Xian supported Zhao San behind his back, he could only bear the responsibility of neglecting supervision and demoted to two levels. Now he is no longer a general, but a commander in the strategic reserve team."

Ailang frowned and said angrily: "If he didn't support Zhao San behind his back, Zhao San would be so bold? Even if he said this, he wouldn't believe it! Why is this kind of bastard still staying in the army? After returning, he immediately passed our military order to revoke all Han Xian's posts and get home to be a commoner!"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "The general's anger is understandable. But this matter should not be handled in this way?" "Why?" "General, governing the army is like governing the country. The law should be used as the criterion. Only in this way can the people's officers and soldiers be convinced. How can they reward and punish them based on their own likes and dislikes? If the law cannot be governed by the law, the officers and soldiers will inevitably have doubts. If there is doubts, they will feel dissatisfied. If there is dissatisfaction, they may develop a dissatisfaction. This matter seems nothing now, but the impact is far-reaching and serious! Once the general sets a precedent for not governing the army according to law, it will inevitably make the officers, soldiers, and soldiers suspicious of each other, which will greatly weaken the combat effectiveness of the army! I hope the general will think twice!"

Ailang rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Dede! I said that, you actually replied so many things to me!" He paused, "What you said makes sense, just do it." Chen Gong smiled slightly.

Ai Lang suddenly heard something and frowned and said, "I just punished Cao Xing for a moment, and he betrayed me with a grudge! Han Xian was punished even more severely. Will he betray me like Cao Xing?"

Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "I have thought of this matter. General. Don't worry, Han Xian has our people around him. If he dares to make any changes, we will receive a report as soon as possible. If he really dares to betray him, he will destroy himself!" Ai Lang couldn't help but feel relieved and said, "If you have Lao Chen, you can do things for me, I have less worries!" Chen Gong clasped his fists and said, "The General is too rewarded!"

...

Early the next morning, Ailang got up early and prepared to patrol the city wall. At this moment, an urgent report came, saying that Cao Cao's army had retreated. Ailang was stunned for a moment and did not react for a moment. Then he felt that his whole body was completely relaxed! This fatal battle was over! Then Ailang thought of something and rushed to Cao Ying's yard in the backyard, packing all the gifts prepared for Cao Ying during the period when Cao Ying was away. Then Ailang led Dian Wei and other groups of personal soldiers out of Xuzhou with seven or eight large bags and small bags to chase Cao Cao.

When Cao Cao was leading his army to retreat, he suddenly received an urgent report from the scouts from the rear, saying that Lu Bu was actually coming with dozens of personal soldiers! Xun You and Liu Ye were surprised. Liu Ye said in confusion: "When Lu Bu wants to pursue him, why did he only bring a few dozen personal soldiers?" Cao Cao laughed and led a group of personal soldiers to welcome Ailang. Soon after, Shuang Wen met through a stream.

Cao Cao smiled and said, "My good son-in-law is really intent! I knew that his father-in-law was leaving, so he rushed to see him off!"

Ailang was furious and scolded, "Don't let your mother goofy shit! If it weren't for my little Ying, I wouldn't have been lazy to see you, this old face!" Cao Cao was not angry at all, laughed and said loudly, "Lu Bu, do you know that I am not young anymore? Don't forget that you and I are of the same generation! My baby daughter married you, the old guy, and I can't help but want to cut you into pieces to relieve my hatred!" Ailang laughed and said proudly, "Xiao Ying loves me, the old guy, what can you do?" Seeing this, Cao Cao was so angry that he glared at him, but he felt that there was no way to deal with Lu Bu. Who told his baby daughter to love the old guy in front of him deeply!

"Lu Bu, stop talking nonsense! What do you want to do? Say it!"

Ailang immediately ordered his personal soldiers to send the seven or eight big bags over, and then sang: "These are the gifts prepared by my wife and I for Xiaoying during this period. Please bring them to her!" Cao Cao said angrily: "Why should I help you?" Ailang said angrily: "Whether you help or not! If you really are Xiaoying, please help this!"
