"Ten days?"
"That Young Master Zizhao only used ten days to kill Zhang Xiu?”
Guo Jia, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Le Jin…
All the officers and soldiers present had the same thought.
Cao Cao took a few steps forward and opened the wooden box that the guard was holding high.
Head.
Zhang Xiu's head!
The head of the archenemy who had killed his beloved son was lying in the wooden box.
"Lie 'er did it. He really did it.”
"He killed Zhang Xiu and avenged Ang 'er!”
"I, Cao Cao, have a son like this. God is really blessing me, hahaha-"
Cao Cao couldn't control his ecstasy and suddenly burst out laughing.
All the generals and strategists also started to laugh.
"My lord, Young Master Zizhao destroyed Zhang Xiu in ten days. Even if Han Xin is resurrected, he will only be so powerful.”
Guo Jia's eyes were full of smiles as he clicked his tongue in praise.
Cao Hong also sighed." Looks like Zizhao's strength far exceeds our imagination. Our Cao family has such a young talent. It's really the blessing of our ancestors."”
Hearing the officials praise his son, Cao Cao smiled without saying a word, his eyes filled with pride.
"Draw up an edict. In the name of the Imperial Court, Cao Lie will be promoted to Pingnan General, promoted to Wancheng County Marquis, and granted the right to open a residence!”
Cao Cao waved his hand and gave the reward.
When this reward was announced, everyone was slightly moved.
General Pingnan is one of the generals of Siping. His position is above that of General Yingyang and General Rebel.
Under Cao Cao's command, even Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun, who were important members of the Imperial Clan, had yet to become Fourth Level Generals.
Cao Lie, this Pingnan General, was already the leader of the Cao Camp generals!
In addition, he was also promoted to the rank of county marquis.
He still wanted to use Wan City, the administrative office of Nanyang County, as his food city.
What surprised them even more was that Cao Cao actually gave Cao Lie the right to open a mansion!
This meant that Cao Lie could recruit his own aides and have strategists and generals loyal to him.
In the entire Cao camp, other than Cao Cao, only Cao Lie had this privilege.
"Young Master Zizhao killed Zhang Xiu, removed the threat from the south of Xudu, and even avenged the Eldest Young Master. Although the lord's reward is heavy, it's not too much.”
Although the officials were shocked and envious, no one had any objections.
They all understood that Cao Lie was worthy of such a heavy title given his great contribution.
Cao Cao picked up Zhang Xiu's head and went outside the tent.
"Ang 'er, did you see that? Your big brother has avenged you.”
Cao Cao raised the head and thought to himself.
This news quickly spread throughout the camp.
Cao Cao's soldiers cheered and their morale rose.
A few days later, Cao Cao took advantage of the morale of his soldiers to launch an attack on Liu Bei.
…
Jingzhou, Xiangyang City.
When the news of Zhang Xiu's fall spread to Xiangyang, all the people of Jingzhou were terrified.
Overnight, Cao Lie's name became synonymous with horror. Even children did not dare to cry at night when they heard it.
Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
The atmosphere was deathly silent.
"Cao Lie, you killed my nephew and even used his head to humiliate me!”
Liu Biao stared at the head in the box, clenching his fists and gritting his teeth.
"I didn't expect Cao Cao's nephew to be so powerful. Zhang Xiu was killed by him in the blink of an eye, and even General Zhang died in his hands!”
Advisor Kuai Yue muttered to himself, fear flashing between his brows.
"My lord!"
At this moment, General Cai Mao stepped forward angrily.
"General Zhang is the lord's nephew, a famous general of Jing Xiang. We must take revenge for him!”
"Wan City is the jurisdiction of Nanyang County, the barrier of our Jing Province. Now that it has fallen into the hands of Cao Cao, it is equivalent to a sharp sword hanging over our heads!”
"Wan City must be taken back!"
Cai Mao asked to fight.
Liu Biao frowned deeply and looked at Kuai Yue,""Alien, what do you think?"
Kuai Yue coughed dryly and said," Wan City is extremely important. It can't fall into Cao Cao's hands. Although Cao Lie has occupied Wan City, he has few soldiers. If we send all the Jingzhou soldiers to the north, we will definitely be able to recapture Wan City!”
"Bang!"
"Cai Mao!" Liu Biao slammed the table and rose to his feet.”
"I'm here." Cai Mao immediately stepped forward.
"I order you to lead 50,000 troops to the north and take back Wan City. Kill Cao Lie and avenge Zhang Yun!"”
"This general will obey!"
Cai Mao gladly accepted the order.
Two days later, the fifty thousand Jing State soldiers crossed the Han River and headed straight for Wan City.
…
South of Nanyang County, Longzhong County.
In a straw hut, two young people were playing chess.
A man dressed in white held a white chess piece in his hand.
The other one was dressed in black and held a black piece in his hand.
"What do you think of Cao Lie, the Cao family's new talent?”
The black-robed young master suddenly asked.
"Brutal, cunning, arrogant, just like the Cao thief.”
The white-robed young man's tone was filled with contempt.
"It seems that you have a deep prejudice against Cao Mengde.”
The black-robed young master smiled, but stroked his short beard and said,""I feel that Cao Lie is decisive in killing and uses troops like a god. Such a sudden emergence will probably disrupt the situation of the world.”
"So what? No matter how amazing he is, he's still a cruel person!”
The white-robed young master snorted in disdain. The white piece in his hand was about to land.
At this moment, a servant pushed open the door and entered.
"Young Master, Mister Shui Jing has sent word that Cao Lie has captured Wan City and torn Zhang Xiu apart!”
The white-robed young master's fingers trembled slightly.
"Clang! Clang!"
The white stone in his hand fell onto the chessboard.
