At this moment, Xu Zhen remembered something. He turned around and took out a drum near Vanishing Shadow's saddle. He handed it to Cao Cao and said,""This person is the commander of the mutiny. His name is Zhang Kai. He was originally here to protect the old lord to Yanzhou. However, he mutiny halfway and plundered gold, silver, and soft goods. He chased after me and wanted to kill me.”
Not only that, there was another important reason that only Xu Zhen knew.
If Xu Zhen didn't change this incident, Zhang Kai would be Cao Song's murderer! Moreover, this person was vicious and merciless. He stole the money and ran away. He joined Yuan Shu and assassinated others.
"Zhang Kai…"
Cao Cao had heard of this man before. He was a lieutenant under Tao Qian. At first, he was a remnant of the Yellow Turbans and reluctantly surrendered to Tao Qian.
Therefore, he understood the dangers of this journey. As long as his father did not leave the convoy, he might have died on the spot. These people would definitely kill them to silence them. It was impossible for them to come back alive.
"Yixuan, thank you for your hard work.”
Cao Cao stared at Xu Zhen solemnly, then cupped his fists and bowed. He bent his body 90 degrees and bowed deeply. This scene moved Cao Ren and the other generals.
There were probably only two people that Cao Cao treated as his benefactors. One was Bao Xin, the other was Wei Zi, and now, there was Xu Zhen.
"How should we deal with Zhang Kai's head?”Xu Zhen asked.
Cao Cao grabbed Zhang Kai's head and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He said coldly,"Yixuan, if you don't like the battlefield, you can just be the supervisor over there. I want Tao Qian of Xu Prefecture to pay the price!”
……
"Father! I'm back! Father!"
Another day passed. Outside the temporary camp, Cao De shouted and had both Cao Cao and Cao Ren come out of the camp.
He immediately saw Cao De, who was walking over under Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan's protection.
His face was covered in dust and blood. It was obvious that he had been killed.
As soon as he came over, he knelt down and cried.
"Big brother! I almost couldn't see you!"
"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
"How is father?"
"Good, everything is good."
Cao Cao patted his younger brother's shoulder, and his heart finally relaxed.
He looked at Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan and asked in a deep voice,""How many people were killed along the way?"
"I don't know. There were probably three or four waves, and it was really annoying. If it wasn't for the fact that the iron stirrups could increase strength, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so easy to break through. Tao Qian's soldiers had a mutiny, and he himself sent thousands of troops to chase after them. He claimed that he was trying to quell the rebellion, but his true intentions were unknown.”
Xiahou Dun let out a long sigh of relief. It was already rare for him to return in such an emergency.
" Mm." Cao Cao nodded. He had a firm idea.
……
Soon, a banquet was held to welcome Cao Song and Cao De. After three rounds of wine, the old master and Cao De entered the inner hall of the government office to rest. Naturally, they could not get back the gold and silver.
Fortunately, Tao Qian's troops arrived in time and brought all the money back to Xiapi.
Therefore, Xu Prefecture was also worried now. They were worried about how to take care of so much property.
As for Cao Cao, he ordered the servants and singers around him to retreat, leaving behind the core strategists and generals.
There were only two foreign generals, Xu Zhen and Yu Jin.
As for the clan generals, they were the Xiahou brothers. Cao Ren and Cao Hong had arrived. Military Advisor Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu, Xun You, and the rest had also left.
Seeing this, Xu Zhen understood that Boss Cao wanted to attack Xuzhou. This was the best opportunity. Compared to his father, he almost died in Xuzhou.
And now that Tao Qian had rebelled, it also meant one thing-his rule was in chaos, and it was already difficult to resist the attacks of the army.
"Tomorrow, organize your troops and follow me to Xuzhou.”
"Xiahou Dun, return to Puyang to station troops and train.”
" Cao Hong, stay in Chenliu and train more of the Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered in Yanzhou. The veterans will be paid for their dismissal and cannot be neglected. The recruits will be trained as a follow-up force.”
"Xun Yu, contact the horse merchants and change the warhorses. Sell the old horses and feed the young horses that we raised ourselves.”
"Xu Zhen, allocate 300,000 dan of grain and find a way to transport it to the front camp of Xu Prefecture. Then, as the supervisor of the army, transport it to the front line in advance.”
Cao Cao finished his orders in an orderly manner. Everyone received their orders. Xun You, Xi Zhicai, and Cao Ren would follow Cao Cao.
Finally, he looked at Xu Zhen and said," This is not the job of a military officer. I am still reasonable. I respect your opinion and won't let you go to the battlefield, right, Yixuan?"”
Xu Zhen smiled and nodded. I hope so.
"If that's the case, you can choose any warrior in Yanzhou. I'll give you 3,000 people to escort the grain and become the grain transport army.”
"I can choose?"
Xu Zhen's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes, I've always been a man of my word.”Cao Cao smiled. However, after surviving a calamity, his smile was filled with killing intent.
This time, he was going to point his sword at Xu Prefecture!
