In Xiaopei City.
In the government office of the inner city, a group of people were discussing the current march.
Suddenly, a burly man barged in and kicked away the guard at the door. He held a large knife and his eyes were fierce.
Seeing Cao Ren standing at the main seat, he shouted,""General Zixiao, may I ask who is Xiahou Miaocai?!!”
"Stand out! How dare you hit my younger brother! Today, even if I have to break the military rules, I will fight you one-on-one! Stand out!"
Cao Ren's mouth was slightly agape as he was stunned.
He didn't seem to be able to answer such a question.
At this moment, a general stood up from the first position on his left. His face was bruised and swollen, and he wore an iron helmet. One side of his beard was pulled.
"You guys, don't go too far!!!”
"I've already beaten him. How else can I beat him?”
"After Xu Zhen beat up Dian Wei, you still came after Dian Wei! Get lost!"
Xu Chu immediately leaned back tactically. The general looked quite pitiful. His left cheek was swollen and there was a fist mark on it.
It was as if he was holding two buns in his mouth.
It was indeed a little pitiful.
However, the two generals opposite him immediately slammed the table. Xu Zhen and Dian Wei suddenly stood up and said anxiously,""That's right! If you're a man, then fight one-on-one!"
"Don't be like a woman. If you want to start a war, you can! My soldiers are outside!"
Cao Ren was immediately stunned.
He knew that the situation was going to be chaotic again.
The problem was that his words were useless. The Old Master was in Xuzhou now.
Moreover, he treated Xu Zhen very well.
After all, he had saved his life, so he did not dare to offend him at all. If it was in the past, he might have just scolded Xu Zhen a few times and let this matter go.
But now…
"Let's go, let's go, one-on-one! Why did you hit my brother? I swore that I would never let anyone speak loudly to my brother!!”
Xu Chu clenched his fists. His expression was extremely fierce. He did not intend to let it go just like that.
Xiahou Yuan lost his temper and could only look at Xu Zhen.
His eyes were filled with resentment.
It's fine if you beat me up yesterday, but it's fine if your soldiers beat my soldiers.
Now?
Ask your brother to beat me up?
When my brother comes, you'll know what it means to be skilled in both literature and martial arts!!!
"Xu Yifeng, say something!"
Xiahou Yuan complained.
This was really a thorn in his side. He was not afraid of anything.
Xu Zhen sat down on the futon, seemingly unwilling to say a word. He only looked at his elder brother and nodded.
His expression was as if he was saying," Well done, I'll remember this."
After a long time, Cao Ren said,"Forget it."”
After saying this, he saw that Xu Zhen did not say anything, so he heaved a sigh of relief. However, he was also a little unwilling.
"Yi Feng, tell me, why did you fight yesterday and not let the soldiers and horses rob the city?"”
"The soldiers are attacking the city so desperately. We exchanged our lives for victory. Can't we plunder? This was a rule that had always been the case. If they were not allowed to do so, the army would probably complain in the future.”
"Besides, we won't hurt anyone.”
Cao Ren's confusion made Xu Zhen fall silent.
At the same time, many of the generals present looked at him.
Xu Chu was also stunned. He looked at his younger brother in confusion.
The main thing was that he felt that Xu Zhen was not such a person. Could it be that he could not tell the importance of the army's morale? How could he lead troops in the future if he was so kind?
Kindness does not lead to war. This was a principle passed down for many years.
Moreover, the entire Great Han Dynasty had witnessed Liu Yu's fate.
It was cold.
After he took charge of the army, he couldn't bear to see the soldiers tired and miserable, so he walked and rested. He only walked more than ten miles in a few days.
In the end, it was destroyed by Gongsun Zan.
After robbing for a few days, they even massacred the city to vent their anger. Of course, massacring the city was considered to be after a bloody battle with a great enemy, and it was generally not seen many times.
However, once they massacred the city, it would leave a shadow on the entire territory's people, and also leave a stain that could never be erased.
However, seizing houses, land, grain, money, and the treasures and jades of merchants was a common occurrence.
Otherwise, how could the soldiers appease their anger after the battle? The soldiers of the entire army would probably complain.
The lord would never stop this.
Cao Ren was most worried about this.
This time, Xu Zhen was stationed in Xuzhou. No one knew that he had made such a remarkable contribution.
This was truly a miraculous feat. Originally, it was just to bring the old master back to Yanzhou. The contribution of a guard could not be considered much. At most, it could be considered hard work.
However, he had saved the old master at the moment of life and death. That was a completely different miraculous skill. He had suddenly become the benefactor of the Cao family.
Moreover, he had sent the news of Que Xuan's rebellion in advance, allowing the Cao army to take down Que Xuan outside Xiao Pei.
Now, they could even attack Xiapi as soon as possible and take this county in the name of pacifying the bandits.
Not only would Han Ting not blame him, but he would also reward him.
As for Tao Qian, he could only suffer in silence.
After a moment of silence, Xu Zhen suddenly grinned and leaned against the wooden pillar behind him."There's no need to talk to the general about this. After all, you might not understand.”
"When my lord returns, I will explain to him why he is not allowed to plunder the people of Xu Prefecture.”
"Good! I'll see what you say then!" Before Cao Ren could say anything, Xiahou Yuan covered his face and glared at Xu Zhen.
At the same time, there was some fear in his eyes.
Where did this thief general come from? He was actually so unreasonable.
Moreover, he looked so confident as if he could predict everything.
I don't believe that you can take every step so steadily!
When the lord comes, let's see how he will deal with you for offending his superiors and fighting. In terms of position, I'm several levels higher than you, a lieutenant!
……
At this moment.
In Tan County, Xuzhou.
Tao Qian paced back and forth in the government office. His aged face was filled with anxiety, and his hands were clasped tightly behind his back.
His palms were covered in sweat.
At this moment, a dark-faced general rushed in from outside the door and cupped his fists at Tao Qian."My lord, news has arrived. Xiao Pei has failed and Que Xuan has been killed.”
" What?!"
" Then, what about Xiapi?!" Tao Qian turned pale with fright and even took a few steps back in disbelief. He sat on the steps in a daze, his face ashen.
" Cao Cao's troops have gathered in Xiaopei. It is said that they did not invade the people in the city at all. In less than three days, all the people have submitted to Cao Cao. There are no rebels in Xiaopei's counties, villages, and pavilions…"
"Are we…still advancing?"
Tao Qian's heart was suddenly filled with an unknown fire.
Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao be so good?!
Was he a benevolent person?
It shouldn't be like this. It had been quite some time since Que Xuan incited the people to rebel against Han and usurped Han. He had originally wanted to take advantage of Que Xuan's attack on Yanzhou to attack Yanzhou.
But how did he lose so quickly?
"Cao Mengde…is that powerful?”Tao Qian raised his head and looked at the general in front of him. His turbid eyes were filled with confusion.
The general lowered his head for a moment and then swallowed for a long time.
"It's said that it's a general called Xu Zhen. He has been waiting near Xiao Pei since the beginning of spring…"
"Xu Zhen, Xu Zhen?"
Tao Qian thought for a long time but couldn't find this name in his memory.
An unknown person.
He must have only recently led the army in Cao's camp.
To think that such a person had interrupted their entire plan…and now, Cao Cao was going to invade Xu Prefecture. Moreover, he had a legitimate reason to do so.
"Pfft!"
Tao Qian was depressed for a moment. In the end, he still felt that it was a pity. Finally, his vision went black and he fell to the wooden floor.
