"What is it? How could this be…Did he really say that?”Cao Chun's eyes widened.
His lower face was thinner. He was wearing a black armor and a general's helmet. His eyes were wide open.
It looked a little funny.
After a while, he asked again,"Is it true? You're not lying to me?"
Cao Ren smiled bitterly." Why would I lie to you? Didn't you see that they've taken everything out of my tent?"”
" Really, the whole process was very fast."
" I knew I was done for the moment they came in. I even gave them the pair of white jade cups, but…"
" This is a little…" Cao Chun expressed his deep sympathy and patted Cao Ren's shoulder.
However, he still asked in disbelief,"Are you really not lying to me? Is he really going to give me the credit?"
"Really! He was only going to pick up the old master after spring. He couldn't possibly not agree to this, right?”
"Yes, yes, hehe, hahaha, that means that Xu Yifeng is actually a good person?”
Cao Chun was surprised.
If she had known that he was so sensible, she wouldn't have targeted him previously. Wasn't this person better than Yu Jin, Xu Huang, and the others?
Those generals with foreign surnames were not good at leading troops, not as good as Zi Xiao, not as good as Yuan Rang in battle, but they were all very arrogant.
This Xu Zhen is very capable, and now he knows how to respect us clan generals.
You want me to take credit? You won't secretly do it behind our backs anymore?
Heavens, I actually spoke ill of him behind his back.
I'm so silly.
When he comes back, I must treat him to a meal.
"I'll go train the troops. When spring comes next year, I'll personally lead the Tiger Leopard Cavalry to make contributions!”
Cao Chun's face lit up. He turned around and was about to run out when Cao Ren stopped him.
" Wait," Cao Ren's voice sounded a little hurried.
It was as if he had not thought of what to say.
"What's wrong?" Cao Chun turned around and looked at Cao Ren expectantly.
Is there anything else you want to say?
" Cough cough, uh, this..." Cao Ren coughed a few times and looked around in embarrassment before saying,""Now that Xu Zhen isn't fighting with you anymore, I've helped you solve such a big problem. Aren't you going to express your gratitude?”
F * ck, why did I say such a thing?
This, this was simply shameless!
How could Xu Zhen have the cheek to say it so naturally! Every time she moved things, she looked very aggrieved.
He felt wronged after snatching someone else's things!
"Yes, yes!" Cao Chun was stunned for a moment before the corners of his mouth twitched. He quickly agreed.
However, he felt a little strange.
This, why did this seem so familiar?
These few sentences felt so familiar, but he couldn't tell why.
……
After this year's autumn harvest, there was no need for too many troops to be invested. As for next year's spring plowing, everything could be handed over to the people and the soldiers who had already been prepared.
Cao Cao was in the Chenliu government office, reading the news from the north.
Yuan Shao began to eliminate the bandits and fought with the Black Mountain Army many times, gathering tens of thousands of soldiers. Then, there was a rebellion in Wei Prefecture, and Gongsun Zan was an enemy in Youzhou.
Before the autumn harvest last year, the chaos in Luoyang had already been settled. Dong Zhuo had been plotted by Wang Yun and conspired with Lu Bu to kill him. Although many important officials of the Han Dynasty had died, the culprit had been eliminated.
Within a month, Li Jue and Guo Si had gathered Dong Zhuo's former subordinates and returned to Chang 'an.
Thus, he reoccupied Tian Zi.
Of course, after this news reached Cai Yan's ears, he cried for a few days and nights. Finally, he heard that Wang Yun, who had secretly harmed his father, had received retribution and died.
Otherwise, she would never be able to take revenge.
"Wen Ruo, have you heard?" Cao Cao looked at the letter and suddenly asked.
Xun Yu, who was sitting at the side, raised his head and cupped his hands." My lord, are you trying to say…that Yifeng requested to be stationed in Xiaopei, Xuzhou?”
" Mm, not bad." Cao Cao nodded, expressing his gratification. He looked at the sky outside the door and felt that everything had calmed down.
"He took the initiative to request to be stationed in Xiaopei of Xu Prefecture. When my father comes to Yanzhou next year, he will be at peace for at least a year. This means that Yifeng has taken the initiative to give in.”
" Hmm... not bad," Xun Yu replied perfunctorily. However, in his opinion, it would not be that easy.
Xu Zhen wasn't such a person. He had taken the initiative to request to go to Xuzhou, perhaps because he had some purpose.
"No matter what, Yi Feng gave in. This is also inseparable from Zhongkang's teachings.”
Cao Cao glanced at the general of the guards standing in the distance.
Xu Chu coughed lightly and said in a deep voice,""Yes, I've already taught him a lesson.”
"Hahaha! Who in this world would not listen to their elder brother?”Cao Cao laughed loudly as he propped his hands on the table and leaned back, looking extremely pleased with himself.
Letting Xu Chu stay by her side back then was really the wisest choice.
No matter how much trouble Xu Zhen could cause, he had to listen to his elder brother's discipline, right?!
Whether it was merchants or scholars, it was the same. An elder brother was like a father, so how could he not discipline his younger brother?!
No matter how stupid Xu Zhen was, he had to listen to his brother.
Cao Cao lowered his head in satisfaction and continued to read the book.
From his point of view, seizing Xu Chu was equivalent to seizing Xu Zhen's lifeline.
My wisdom is truly unparalleled in the world.
However, Cao Cao did not notice that after Xu Chu said that, he lowered his head guiltily and touched his nose awkwardly…
……
Winter left and spring came.
When the ice and snow melted, Xu Zhen led eight hundred cavalry out of Chenliu.
Then, they headed towards Xu Prefecture. Everyone only brought rations, and the location of the march was Xiao Pei.
At this time, because Xiao Pei's border was close to Xuzhou, it was still unclear whose territory it was.
However, it was indeed the Danyang soldiers of Xu Prefecture who were stationed there.
There are 4,000 soldiers.
It could be said that there was nothing to be afraid of. Moreover, there was no battle with Tao Qian at the moment, so Xu Zhen's troops could only be targeted and not driven away.
However, Xu Zhen did not enter Xiao Pei. Instead, he camped at the edge and found a place near a mountain and a river.
He had a few Qingzhou soldiers under him dress up and follow the caravan into Xu Prefecture to scout around.
As for Cao Chun, he had already placed his troops in Qiao County and Runan County. In this one year, he would put all his energy into eliminating the rebels and preventing Yuan Shu.
To Cao Chun, this year was the most promising year.
He became famous among the dukes and became a talented general.
At this moment, in a mountain forest where a hermit lived in Langya County, Xu Prefecture.
A carriage was about to set off.
"Is it installed? Get ready to set off!"
A robust middle-aged man wearing a thick brown robe opened his arms and shouted. On the entire mountain road, dozens of carriages lined up in front of a manor.
It was filled with goods.
There were books, jade, gold and silver utensils, and many other valuable treasures that could only be found in the Imperial Palace.
In addition, there were countless gold, silk, and brocade.
An old man walked out from the crowd. He was holding a walking stick. His hair was white, but he was in good spirits.
After coming out, he glanced around and said in a dignified and deep voice,"De 'er, prepare to depart."
"Father! It's about time. Let's set off."
"En, the journey this time will be rugged and will probably take 30 days. It will be a tough journey, so everyone must be prepared. We can rest only after we reach Yanzhou.”
"Yes, sir!"
The servants and maids lowered their heads.
Not only were there dozens of carriages of treasures, but each of them also carried a huge bag.
There were also a dozen or so tall horses that were empty, carrying a lot of them.
It was extremely shocking to see such a mighty convoy heading from Langya to Yanzhou…
