Inside the tent.
Yuan Shao was unconscious.
The Yuan Family officials and generals had solemn expressions as they discussed.
"What method did Cao Lie use to sneak into Ye City?”
Guo Tu muttered to himself, his face full of confusion.
"This kid is a god-like soldier, and has the demeanor of Cao Mengde. I'm afraid that when Yuan Cao starts a war in the future, we'll have another formidable enemy.”
Qiushou clicked his tongue and sighed, his tone faintly revealing fear.
"He's so outstanding at such a young age. He's indeed not an ordinary person. It's a pity that he's too cruel.”
Tian Feng was appreciative, but also a little resentful.
When the ministers discussed the matter, Yuan Shao had already woken up.
"Cao Lie, you bastard! You killed my beloved son and my wife! I'm going to kill you!!”
Yuan Shao roared and cursed, getting up to get off the ground.
Under extreme anger, Yuan Shao panted heavily, almost passing out again.
The officials hurriedly surrounded him.
But Yuan Shao didn't listen." Send the order to the entire army to speed up to the south immediately. We must catch up with Cao Lie that thug!" he shouted.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
The scout rushed in and cupped his hands." My lord, Gongsun Zan launched a night attack. Our army is no match for him. We have retreated twenty li. Please send reinforcements."”
Yuan Shao's body shook, and he instantly calmed down. He no longer clamored to pursue Cao Lie.
"Lord, please take the overall situation into consideration and return to Yi Jing quickly. Otherwise, if Gongsun Zan recovers, the consequences will be unimaginable!”
"My lord led us in a bitter battle for many years before we trapped Gongsun Zan in Yi Jing. If we can't destroy him, I don't know when we will be able to completely occupy Hebei!”
"Lord, please focus on the overall situation. First, destroy Gongsun Zan, then avenge Young Master and Madam!”
He Shou, Tian Feng and other advisers, one after another to persuade.
Yuan Shao remained silent and clenched his fists.
After a while.
"Bang!"
Yuan Shao fiercely punched his fist and said hatefully,""Pass down my order to return to Yijing immediately!"
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief and praised Yuan Shao for his "wisdom".
"Cao Lie, when I occupy Hebei and lead my troops south to destroy Cao Cao, it will be the day you pay with your blood!”
Yuan Shao looked to the south and swore through gritted teeth.
That day, Yuan Zhou's army broke camp and once again rolled north.
…
Xudu.
Northern Suburbs Military Camp.
Tens of thousands of Cao troops were ready to go.
Cao Cao was worried and prepared to lead the army north to meet Cao Lie.
"Now that my lord is leading the army into Hebei, it is equivalent to falling out with Yuan Shao in advance.”
"Right now, Liu Bei has stolen Xuzhou and rebelled in the east, Zhang Xiu has stationed troops in Wancheng in the west, and Yuan Shu has proclaimed himself emperor in the south.”
"Looking at the enemies, the rear may not be the same. Now is not the time to start an all-out war with Yuan Shao.”
Xun Yu tried his best to persuade him.
Cao Cao's eyes were filled with determination. He sighed," How could I not know what Wen Ruo said? However, I have already lost a son. I cannot lose another son..."
He almost blurted it out, and before he could say it, he changed it to " nephew."
Seeing that Cao Cao valued family ties, Xun Yu felt both admiration and helplessness. He could only shake his head and sigh.
"Meng De, good news, good news ~~"
At this moment, Cao Ren ran over happily.
"Good news from Hanoi. Zi Zhao's sneak attack was successful. He killed his enemies and massacred Ye City. He has safely returned to Hanoi!”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Cao Cao was overjoyed as he snatched the report from Cao Ren.
"Well done, brat. You actually won such a dangerous battle. Well done!”
Cao Cao was relieved and laughed heartily.
Then, he handed the news to Xun Yu and said proudly,""Wen Ruo, it seems like you've underestimated Zi Zhao again. Look at his amazing achievements.”
"This Young Master Zi Zhao was able to hide from the Yuan army's countless sentry posts and sneak into Ye City. How did he do it?”
Xun Yu looked at the report in his hand and muttered to himself, puzzled.
"Meng De, Zi Zhao is good at using surprise troops. As expected of our Cao family's disciple, he has your style.”
Cao Ren was full of smiles and praises.
Cao Cao laughed." I don't even have the confidence to lead a thousand soldiers to attack Ye City. In terms of military skills, this child is even better than me."”
"Meng De!"
Cao Ren cupped his hands and said," Our Cao family has such a talented person. We must put him in an important position. Meng De, if you want to conquer the world, you can't do without him."”
Hearing his brother praise his son, Cao Cao felt even more proud and couldn't stop smiling.
"Pass on my order, summon him back to the capital. I want to reward him heavily!”
Cao Cao waved his hand and gave the order.
At this moment, he was extremely anxious to see his son, who had shocked the world.
News of Cao Lie's sneak attack on Ye City quickly spread across the Great River.
The world was shocked.
…
Xuzhou, Xiapi.
"More than a thousand people, a lone army deep into the city, and even successfully launched a sneak attack on Ye City.”
In the state capital, Zhang Fei shouted at the intelligence report. His black face was filled with disbelief.
"The Cao family has many talents, and now Cao Lie has appeared. The god of war is no less than Cao thief!”
"On my way to restoring the Han Dynasty, I have another great enemy.”
Liu Bei shook his head and sighed, his face filled with fear.
"He's just a brutal thief. Why is elder brother so afraid?”
"Foolish brother thinks that he was able to successfully attack Ye City because Yuan Shao was careless and lucky.”
Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard, looking arrogant and disdainful.
"I hope second brother is right. He was just lucky.”
Liu Bei nodded slightly, but said in a deep voice,""I've occupied Xuzhou and rebelled against Cao Cao. Cao Cao's army will soon come to our borders. Quickly recruit soldiers and buy horses to prepare for a bloody battle with Cao Cao!”
"Here!"
…
Hanoi County, north of Dangyin City.
Carriages carrying Zhen Family's wealth were slowly entering the city.
The road was muddy, and Zhen Mi's carriage was stuck in the mud. Zhen Mi could only stand by the roadside and wait.
"Young Master is back!"
The soldiers shouted excitedly.
Zhen Mi's body trembled. She looked back and saw a handsome young man riding his horse like the wind.
"He actually came back alive?"
Zhen Mi was shocked.
In the blink of an eye, Cao Lie was already in front of her, his gaze wantonly landing on her.
"Greetings, General."
Zhen Mi couldn't stand his unbridled gaze. She blushed and lowered her head.
Cao Lie saw that her carriage had broken down, so he bent down and picked her up without saying anything.
Zhen Miying moaned. Before she could react, Cao Lie had already lifted her up and sat her down in front of him.
The two of them rode on a horse and were close to each other.
Zhen Mi had never experienced such a thing before, and her bright eyes turned red with embarrassment.
