Outside the border of Xiaopei, Cao Cao's cavalry had arrived. There were more than three thousand people and more than three thousand warhorses.
In the wilderness of Xuzhou and Yanzhou, this was already an extremely powerful military force.
It was enough to make the nearby bandits flee at the sight of the wind.
He could also let Xu Prefecture hear this commotion and make Tao Qian and Tao Xu Prefecture restless!
Cao Cao stood at the front of the group, waiting with his hands behind his back. His heart was already surging, and uneasiness began to spread.
He felt that something big was about to happen.
" Big Brother, don't be anxious. Maybe it'll be fine. It's just a false alarm…" Cao Hong advised with an ugly expression on his face.
This was also Xun Yu's intention. Xun Yu was afraid that Cao Cao would become sad because of this.
Previously, when the Heavenly Ranking of Counselors appeared, Xun Yu was ranked first, which made Cao Cao happy.
One had to know that the Advisor Heaven Ranking was a real-time ranking.
But at least for now, his strategist was the best in the world. Was there any need to say how much good luck he could get?
Yingchuan's scholars were all his. Whether it was military strategy, internal affairs, or external affairs, he would have the upper hand.
Therefore, he wrote a letter to the Old Master, intending to ask for money to recruit soldiers and horses. Now, the most powerful strategist in the world was under his command.
It was said that he had planned for the entire world, and he naturally needed money to support it. He did not expect that Old Master Cao would sell his family assets and earn 25,000 gold.
There were actually 100 carriages that were transported over.
Wouldn't he be harming him if he walked around in such a flamboyant manner?
Right now, Cao Cao's heart was filled with regret.
If he had known this would happen, he would never have written that letter!
"Ai, you don't understand. Tao Qian can control himself, but he probably can't control the people under him. In the past few years, Qing and Xu have received many rebel soldiers who surrendered.”
Cao Cao clenched his fists behind his back.
At this moment, it was as if he had thought that this matter would definitely happen, and it was very likely that it had already happened.
She could not help but feel sad.
"If that's the case, I'll definitely bathe Xu Prefecture in blood to take revenge for my grandfather.”
"Big brother…"
Xun Yu was speechless.
Bloodbath?
Xun Yu's heart skipped a beat.
It was as if he was blocked by a stone.
He hoped that nothing would happen.
He hoped that it was just an angry remark.
If they were to be bathed in blood, they would probably lose their benevolence and suffer for the rest of their lives.
Sigh…
Tao Qian, Tao Qian.
He actually had such poor judgment!
After Xun Yu learned the full story, he was dumbfounded. No matter what, he couldn't send someone who used to be a mountain bandit to escort the Old Master.
Wasn't that clearly asking him to steal from the inside?
At this moment, a few riders dashed out from the mountain path in the distance onto the plains. There were a total of twelve or thirteen people.
The leader was riding a white horse with a person in his arms.
The person in front of him was an old man.
The people behind them were all young and brave people with spears in their hands, bags on their bodies, and battle armor.
A few of them even led three horses to run together.
Such a grand scene immediately attracted Cao Cao's attention until Cao Hong exclaimed," It seems to be Old Master Cao!”
"Really!"
Cao Ren also pointed from his horse." Big Brother, it's really Old Master Cao. He's back!" You're back!"
Cao Cao's hands and feet were not agile. When he looked carefully, it was indeed his father on the horse.
Jumping!
A series of horse hooves sounded. Cao Ren's cavalry had already appeared in front of Cao Cao. Xu Zhen, Zhao Yun, and the others reined in their horses and raised their front hooves, neighing in unison.
Then, he got off the horse and let the old man get off.
"Old Weng!"
Cao Cao shouted from afar.
"Meng De, Meng De!"
"This old man thought that my life was over and that I would never see you again…"
"Meng De…"
Cao Cao, Cao Ren, and Cao Hong surrounded Cao Song and helped him up. They checked him from head to toe and found that he was fine. His face was pale and there were bloodstains on his body.
He immediately felt relieved.
"Ah Weng…is he really being chased?”
"Tao Qian's general, Zhang Kai, saw the benefits and wanted to kill and rob…It's all thanks to these warriors, oh right! Hero, come quickly!"
Cao Song quickly waved his hand and called Xu Zhen over. Cao Cao and the others looked over with gentle gazes.
Putting everything else aside, he was Ah Weng's savior. Just this point alone required respect.
This was a huge favor.
Xu Zhen put down the many bundles on his waist, then rolled up his sleeves and cupped his fists."Greetings, Lord Cao."
"Hero, it's all thanks to you."
"I'm not a warrior. I came to seek refuge with Cao Gong. It's a coincidence that I saved the old lord.”
"Yes, I am!" Cao Song had a kind smile on his face." I was chased several times on the road, but Bowen saved me.”
"Bowen?"
Cao Cao looked at Xu Zhen with interest.
Xu Zhen bowed unhurriedly and said,"I am Xu Zhen, also known as Bo Wen."
Cao Cao frowned. He felt like he had seen this name somewhere before, but he couldn't recall where.
Xun Yu stood up and bowed deeply.""I am Xun Yu, also known as Wen Ruo. You are ranked in the 108th Advisor Rank and are also a knowledgeable person. My lord will definitely welcome you wholeheartedly. Now that you have saved the old master, it is really fate.”
Oh, the Xun family…
He was indeed magnanimous.
When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately remembered. Yes, he was on the Heaven Ranking of Counselors.
The last person to enter the rankings.
He didn't look down on it. When the Heaven List appeared, he had already discussed it with Xun Yu.
Xun Yu was the first, but he was familiar with the dozen, twenty, and even seventy to eighty people behind him. He could learn a lot of strategies and tactics from them.
Only then did he know that the rankings were different, but the difference was not the same. Perhaps it was just a slight difference.
"Ah, isn't that the last place?”
Cao Ren was straightforward and blurted it out. He knew that he had said something wrong and quickly bowed." Aiya, Sir, I didn't mean to offend you. I said something wrong."”
Cao Cao waved his hand and finally smiled,""It's fine. Mister saved my old man, so I'll definitely treat him as a distinguished guest and return to Yanzhou with me.”
After saying this, he held Xu Zhen's hand tightly.
She even brought him to her carriage.
Xun Yu, who was at the side, saw this and did not say anything.
Zilong and the others who had followed Xu Zhen were naturally invited by Cao Ren and Cao Hong to follow the army.
……
On the carriage, Cao Cao stared at Xu Zhen for a long time, as if the more he looked, the happier he became.
The main reason was that Xu Zhen was also handsome and had practiced martial arts for many years. His martial arts skills were not bad, so he had always been Zhao Yun's sparring partner.
He was naturally extraordinary.
" Mister, those on the list are all people who have gone out to be officials. Mister is on the list, so naturally, you have a place to go..."
"Hehe, Liu Xuande only lacked a strategist, so I went to vote for him. After the list appeared, he gave me fifty coins and sent me away.”
Xu Zhen revealed a calm smile." Hehe, I'm only worth 50 coins. Let's see if Cao Gong dares to put me in an important position."”
Cao Cao leaned back and felt happy for some reason.
He felt that this Xu Zhen…was not important whether he was a strategist or not.
The key was that he could save Old Weng from Xuzhou with just a dozen people.
Wasn't he a peerless general?
