Cao Yu still wanted to give the treasures in these 50 boxes to the other party.
Cao Cao shook his head.
"I won't hide it from you, Zixiu. I have a reward for you as well."”
Cao Cao made up an excuse, saying that he had relayed Cao Yu's words to the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister had already rewarded him.
Cao Yu was skeptical.
"Follow me," Cao Cao said.
After a while.
He brought Cao Yu to a side courtyard in the residence.
The house in the courtyard was filled with similar boxes.
Cao Yu only gave up after seeing this.
"In the future, if old general has any request, I will definitely do my best!”
Seeing that the logistics manager was so rich, Cao Yu did not insist anymore.
He bade farewell to Cao Cao and ordered his servants to carry the box back to his residence.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Yu's back as he slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, he managed to fool her.
The wealth in this courtyard was used by Cao Cao to reward his subordinates.
An hour later.
"Prime Minister, Cheng Pu, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, and Dong Xi are unwilling to surrender. What should we do with them?" Xu Chu asked.”
Cao Cao frowned when he heard this.”
Xu Chu nodded.
"Have you ever said that I, Cao, will forget the past and still use you?”
Cao Cao asked.
Xu Chu was still nodding.
Cao Cao sighed,"Alas, there are also such heroes in Jiangbiao who would rather break than bend."”
Since that was the case, there was no need to stay.
"Cut him down and find someone to bury him.”
He waved his hand.
"Here."
Xu Chu accepted the order and left.
The next day.
Cheng Pu, Ling Tong, Pan Zhang, and Dong Xi were killed because they refused to surrender.
After the four of them died, their bodies were placed in coffins and buried by a special person.
However, Mi Fang's choice was completely different from the other four.
He chose to surrender.
He was sent to Jiangling City by Cao Cao to be an official.
Two more days passed.
An urgent report came from the border of South County.
He said that the Jiangdong army had made a comeback and attacked Ling County.
Cao Cao was furious.
"Alright, I haven't found trouble with him yet, and he attacked my city first?”
He originally planned to lead his army south next spring.
To conquer River East in one fell swoop!
Who knew that the Jiangdong Army would not stop fighting after being defeated for a while? They even started to take the cities at the border of South County.
"Preposterous!"
Cao Cao slammed the table and stood up.
"Men, pass on my order. Let Zixiu lead the army to the border of Ling County to support the local garrison.”
"We just need to hold on until spring. When the hundreds of thousands of northern troops head south, let's see how he will resist!”
Cao Cao ordered a messenger.
The messenger received the order and rushed to the prefect's residence.
When Cao Yu heard the news of the Jiangdong army invading the border, he immediately ordered his troops and bade farewell to his family.
They rushed to the state mausoleum overnight.
The mausoleum was located at the border of South County, Jiangxia County, and Changsha County.
However, most of the land was in South County, and a small part was in Jiangxia.
"Jiangxia County is the territory of Liu Bei and Liu Qi.”
Cao Yu muttered on Vanishing Shadow.
"The appearance of the Jiangdong soldiers means that Sun Liu has not broken off relations with him yet!”
"After losing a water battle for a while, you want to fight on land again?”
After several days of traveling, Cao Yu soon arrived at the boundary of Ling County.
However, the movement of the three thousand black-armored cavalry was so huge that the Jiangdong army's scouts had long known about it.
As a result, when Cao Yu entered the country, he did not see any soldiers from the River East.
After some investigation, he found out that the Jiangdong soldiers had already retreated to Jiangxia County.
"I'm afraid they're rearranging their strategic deployment.”
Cao Yu guessed.
It was impossible for the other party to retreat just like that.
At dusk.
Cao Yu was able to enter the city.
Niu Jin, the general guarding the city, was reporting to Cao Yu about the recent battle situation.
"I recognize you."
Cao Yu said.
If Cao Yu hadn't transmigrated, Niu Jin would have followed Cao Ren.
The position of South County Governor was also Cao Ren's.
"The prefect also knows me?"
Niu Jin was stunned.
"I know a little."
Cao Yu nodded. He only knew that Cao Ren and Niu Jin had tricked Zhou Yu once.
"Patrol well tonight to prevent the Jiangdong Army from attacking at night.”
Cao Yu instructed.
"Here."
Niu Jin left.
Nothing happened that night.
The next morning, the sun rose.
Niu Jin hurriedly reported to Cao Yu.
"Governor, the scouts at the front have received news that the Jiangdong soldiers are coming for the city again.”
"What should we do?" Cao Yu laughed.”
"It's cowardice not to fight when the army is at the gates," said Niu Jin generously.”
"Moreover, the Jiangdong Army has just been defeated. Their morale is not stable yet, but they are eager to win.”
"I'm willing to lead five hundred elite soldiers out of the city to fight the enemy!”
He requested for Cao Yu's orders.
He expressed his willingness to risk his life and fight to the death.
"Truly a valiant general."
Cao Yu praised.
Immediately, he gave Niu Jin 500 soldiers and let him go out of the city to fight the enemy.
After Niu Jin left the city, Cao Yu climbed up the city wall and looked into the distance.
Niu Jin's men had already started fighting with the Jiang Dong soldiers.
"You have enough courage, but you are less flexible.”
Cao Yu watched for a while and knew that Niu Jin had fallen into his trap.
The other party feigned defeat and Niu Jin chased after him.
"Six hundred men, follow behind me.”
Cao Yu immediately led 600 men and charged out of the city.
On the other side.
Niu Jin chased after Ding Feng. He had just run ten miles when he was ambushed by the Jiangdong Army.
Wu General Ding Feng commanded the soldiers to trap Niu Jin in the formation.
Niu Jin charged left and right, unable to break the formation.
At this moment.
Behind the Jiangdong army, Cao Yu led his army and tore open the encirclement…
