Xuchang.
It had been more than half a month since Cao Cao returned with his troops. Most of the soldiers had returned to camp, but there were still a few elites left on the drill ground outside the city for Su Ran to choose from.
This was because a few days ago, Cao Cao had rewarded the officials according to their merits.
Not only did Su Ran get a few mansions, but she also got a lot of money and 30 beautiful maids.
He also gained the right to expand his army.
He led 5,000 soldiers to expand to 10,000.
Originally, Cao Cao wanted to expand the Beiwei Army to twenty thousand soldiers.
However, Su Ran had always believed in the importance of quality and not quantity, so she only agreed to expand the Bei Wei Army to ten thousand.
Cao Cao didn't insist and agreed.
Moreover, he did not take back the right to expand the army by another 10,000.
He was also allowed to select elites from the various battalions to expand the strength of the Bei Wei Army.
As for the other 10,000 soldiers, he would have to think of a way himself.
Fortunately, in the Battle of Shouchun, the generals of Cao Camp had all received his kindness, and each of them had contributed greatly, so he was allowed to choose generals.
Now that more than half a month had passed, the five thousand elites had almost been selected.
These people were all veterans of hundreds of battles. They only needed a little training and the special formation of the Bei Wei Army to be able to go into battle and kill the enemy.
Of course.
With an additional 5,000 people, there were also an additional 5,000 sets of equipment.
He had no choice but to ask Xun Yu for it again. To his surprise, Xun Yu had actually prepared it in advance.
This surprised Su Ran.
He asked.
Only then did he learn that Xun Yu had planned to forge 10,000 sets of Bei Wei Army weapons before he left.
Because Xun Yu could already tell that he would win this battle.
And he would also make a great contribution.
The army would be expanded sooner or later, so it was better to prepare in advance to save time when it was built in a hurry.
This made Su Ran admire Xun Yu greatly.
As expected of Xun Lingjun, his careful consideration was extraordinary.
It was no wonder that in history, no matter how big Cao Cao's territory was, Xun Yu could always manage it in an orderly manner.
This internal affairs ability was maxed out.
After he brought the weapons back to the camp and equipped the entire army, the 10,000 soldiers were finally formed.
The current Bei Wei Army was the invincible and undefeated army in the future.
Su Ran was satisfied.
He placed the Bei Wei Army outside the city for training.
He entered Xuchang City.
That night.
Cao Cao held a banquet in Sikong Manor to entertain the civil and military officials.
And invited the emperor to a banquet.
The emperor sat on the high platform like a pavilion in the air.
Cao Cao stood at the side, observing everything like a tiger hunting its prey.
He wanted to use this opportunity.
He was testing people's hearts.
Su Ran shook her head.
It seemed that after taking down Yangzhou, Boss Cao's mentality began to undergo a subtle change.
This was good too.
The Great Han Dynasty was ultimately unable to continue. Even if the Han Dynasty was restored, it would only be a flash in the pan. It was better to completely destroy it and create a new dynasty.
However, the current Cao Cao might not have such rebellious thoughts.
Cao Cao only wanted to use this opportunity to find those who tried to use the name of the emperor to trip him up.
In order to deal with Yuan Shao in the north.
After all, the current Yuan Shao was about to conquer Youzhou and rule over Qingyou and the four prefectures of Hebei. He was the descendant of four generations and three dukes.
In terms of background, background, strength, and fame, he far surpassed Cao Cao.
The threat was too great.
Even Cao Cao had to be careful.
Su Ran wasn't interested in Cao Cao's test. He called Guo Jia and the two of them grabbed the wine jug and left the banquet to the backyard.
Because of their special identities, they were Cao Cao's closest advisors, so most of the guards in the backyard knew them and did not dare to stop them.
The two of them drank while strolling leisurely.
Guo Jia even sang a few Han folk songs along the way.
Yes.
To Su Ran, it actually sounded good!
Just then.
The two of them arrived at the rockery in the backyard.
Guo Jia took off his shoes and jumped into the pool, drinking and singing.
Su Ran, on the other hand, lazily climbed up a fake mountain and sat cross-legged. While drinking, she admired Guo Jia's unrestrained dance.
It had to be said.
With Guo Jia's good looks and good voice.
If it was in the future, who knew how many fangirls he would get.
"Yi An…drink…drink up.”
Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!
After Guo Jia finished singing, she held the wine jug and raised her head.
"To have such a confidant in life!"
"Awesome! How satisfying!"
"Burp…"
"Yi An, quickly come and drink with me."
After Guo Jia finished speaking, his body fell into the pool.
Su Ran's expression changed slightly.
He scooped Guo Jia up and handed him over to the servant girl who had rushed over.
After asking them to take good care of Guo Jia, Su Ran carried the wine pot and walked towards the nearby courtyard.
Seeing the weapons rack in the courtyard, his interest was piqued.
Putting the wine pot aside, he took out his spear and began to use it.
For a moment, he was like a tiger.
He was rather heroic.
After practicing for almost an hour, he was about to stab out with his spear when a beautiful girl with a graceful figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
When the girl saw this, she also revealed a panicked expression. As she dodged, she slipped and fell to the ground.
"Be careful."
Su Ran cried out in surprise. She stopped her attack and rushed forward to support the girl.
She was soft in his embrace, as if she was weak and boneless.
He looked down.
She was so frightened that her eyes were tightly shut. Her eyelashes were fluttering as she breathed rapidly in his arms.
"It's alright now."
Su Ran said softly.
The young girl came back to her senses. When she saw the handsome face in front of her and the ambiguous posture of the two of them, a blush immediately surfaced on her snow-white face and she hurriedly escaped.
Su Ran only felt an emptiness in her arms. She missed the warmth and the strong impact that disappeared in an instant.
"You…who are you?"
The girl widened her eyes and looked at Su Ran with shame and anger.
"I'm Su Ran. I've offended you in many ways just now.”
Su Ran cupped her hands and bowed.
This was the backyard of Sikong Manor.
Most of the people living here were Cao Cao's family.
Moreover, judging from the girl's scholarly and unique temperament, she might be Cao Cao's daughter.
He felt helpless.
He didn't expect that he would accidentally carry Cao Cao's daughter.
Where did this go?
"You're Su Ran!"
The embarrassment and anger in the girl's eyes suddenly disappeared. Then, she looked up and down curiously. Then, her pretty face blushed again.
