After believing Mi Zhu's suggestion, Cao Bao immediately took the commander's seal and followed Mi Zhu to see Xu Xiao.
Seeing Xu Xiao, Cao Bao knelt down and said,""My lord, I have been feeling unwell recently and hope to rest at home for a while. However, I am afraid that there is no one to lead the Dan Yang soldiers, so I have returned the commander's seal.”
Xu Xiao was slightly surprised as he looked at Mi Zhu.
Did Cao Bao hand over his commander's seal just because Mi Zhu went there?
Moreover, the title of 'governor' had changed to 'lord' instead?
Don't underestimate the difference in this form of address.
Before the Provincial Governor represented Cao Bao, he only treated Xu Xiao as a superior and was nominally loyal to the Great Han Imperial Court.
However, the lord represented that Cao Bao would be loyal to Xu Xiao alone in the future!
Regardless of whether Xu Xiao was the governor of Xu Prefecture, Cao Bao would follow him!
Mi Zhu came to Xu Xiao's side and explained the reason in a low voice.
"Cao Bao's daughter?"
Xu Xiao's tone was a little strange.
He had just intercepted Liu Bei, and now he was intercepting Hu and Lu Bu?
In Lu Bu's eyes.
Cao Bao's daughter would definitely not be too bad looking.
As for what Mi Zhu said about the three beauties of Xu Prefecture, Xu Xiao naturally did not believe it.
* Cough cough *
Sensing that he had lost his composure, Xu Xiao coughed lightly."Regarding the matter of taking in concubines, we will discuss it in the future. Cao Bao, since you have acknowledged me as your master, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. You have led the Elixir Yang Soldiers for many years. Do you know who is brave and good at fighting in the army?”
Although Cao Bao was a little regretful, he also knew that this was not a good time to talk about taking concubines.
The military situation was like fire.
If he was late, Ze Rong might really have run away!
Xu Xiao definitely wouldn't waste time talking about concubines with Cao Bao.
Cao Bao was a little embarrassed.”
When Xu Xiao heard that, he immediately understood.
It must have been Cao Bao who had suppressed them and pushed out all the generals in the Scarlet Yang Army.
Otherwise, with Cao Bao's ability, he would not be able to suppress the proud soldiers like the Scarlet Yang Soldiers!
"Since that's the case, pass on my order. Within two hours, 5,000 Elixir Yang soldiers will gather at the south gate of Peng City!”
"This provincial governor will personally go to crusade against Zuo Rong!”
"Zizhong, guard Peng City with Cao Bao.”
"You can't lead troops to war. If you can't defend Peng City, then you don't have to come and see me anymore!”
Cao Bao was terrified and hurriedly replied,""Don't worry, my lord. I'm still good at defending the city!”
"Don't worry, my lord," said Mei Zhu."If Pengcheng is lost, I'll bring my head to you!”
If Xu Xiao left Peng City.
Lang Ya's Zang Ba and Dong Hai's Sun Guan might take the opportunity to attack Peng City.
This was also the reason why Xu Xiao had hoped that Cao Bao could recommend a commander of the Elixir Yang Soldiers.
But now that Peng City didn't have a general, Xu Xiao could only personally go into battle!
"The Snowy Dragon Riders have already been signed in. When will we be able to sign in a few fierce generals?”
"Even if you don't want a valiant general in the snow, at least get me someone like Li Yuanba from the Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties!”
Xu Xiao secretly shook his head and returned to the inner court to remind Gan Qian.
"Xiao Qian, I'm about to lead the army out. Bai Ying will stay in the mansion. If anything happens, don't lose him!”
"Husband, why are you in such a hurry?" Gan Qian was shocked.”
Xu Xiao gently hugged Gan Qian." Don't worry. In this world, no one can hurt your husband!"”
Gan Qian's face turned red when Xu Xiao hugged her.
"Don't worry, husband. I'll be waiting for you in Peng City!”
I bid farewell to Gan Qian.
Xu Xiao put on his armor and instructed Ding Baiying to protect his family. He also asked Ding Xiaoxiu to follow him to the Snow Dragon Cavalry camp.
After the Snow Dragon Riders came out of the sign-in space, they were living humans.
He could no longer put it back into the sign-in space like an item.
Xu Xiao had set up a separate area in Peng City to station the Snow Dragon Cavalry!
"Where are the Snow Dragon Knights?"
"Yes!"
"Follow me to the expedition!"
"Yes!"
.....
West Pengcheng.
Five thousand Elixir Yang soldiers were ready to go.
Although the eight hundred Snow Dragon Cavalry were brave, they were too few in number.
Xu Xiao did not need the Danyang soldiers to fight the enemy outside the city.
However, if it was an expedition to other counties.
He couldn't just rely on the Snow Dragon Riders!
Infantry, archers, crossbowmen, baggage soldiers, cooks, doctors, and so on had to be arranged!
Otherwise…
Once Zhao Yu closed the city to defend, he couldn't possibly let these 800 Snow Dragon Cavalry cut down trees to make siege weapons and then push the charging carts and scaling ladders to attack the city!
"All soldiers, listen up! Our target is Xiapi, capture the traitor, Zuo Rong!”
"Those who capture him alive will be rewarded with ten gold coins and three gold coins!”
Xu Xiao was not afraid of not having money to reward.
It was too easy to sign in to the space and use ten million dollars to reward the army!
"Ten gold, three draws?"
There must be brave men under heavy rewards.
The Elixir Yang soldiers were all elite soldiers, but they also liked money!
In this day and age.
Which soldier didn't love money?
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
"Kill them!"
The Danyang soldier was originally hesitant about this new provincial governor.
Hearing Xu Xiao being so generous at this moment, their morale immediately soared!
"Let's go!"
.....
Xiapi.
Zuo Rong led the army, escorted money and grain, marched to Guangling, and passed through Ling County.
Suddenly.
A soldier came to report.
"My lord, we found a manor ten miles away. It's very luxurious. I've asked around. The owner of this manor is surnamed Lu and is quite rich!”
Lu?
Ze Rong suddenly thought of someone.
This person was very rich in Xiapi!
When Zuo Rong was amassing wealth wantonly in Xiapi, he had heard about it from the pilgrims.
In terms of Xu Prefecture's wealth, it was definitely the Eastern Sea's Mei Clan.
In terms of wealth in Xiapi, it would definitely be Manor Lord Lu of Ling County!
However, Villa Head Lu had always been elusive. He had handed over all business matters to the servants!
"In any case, Xiapi probably won't come back for the rest of my life. I'm not afraid of offending the local tyrants!”
Ze Rong was instantly filled with greed!
Since he was going to run away, what could he do if he offended the tyrants of Xiapi?
Would he come to Guangling or even Yangzhou to find trouble with him?
"Pass down my order, surround that manor!”
Lu Manor.
Some servants had already discovered the movement of Zuo Rong's army.
"Manor Lord, something bad has happened!"
"A group of fiendish soldiers came from outside the manor. They surrounded the manor without saying a word!”
At this moment, Villa Head Lu was setting up a target in the shooting range and nocking an arrow.
Hearing the servant's report, Villa Head Lu shot an arrow at the bullseye and shouted coldly,""Where did this little thief come from?”
"They claim to be the people of Zuo Rong, the prime minister of Xiapi Kingdom!”
"Ze Rong?"
Villa Head Lu frowned." Gather the soldiers. Without my orders, don't move!" Let me take a look first!"
Villa Head Lu mumbled as he walked.
"Strange, why did this Ze Rong come to surround my manor?”
"He usually asks the servants to show filial piety!”
