The sound of horse hooves could be heard as the cavalry rushed over, followed by a few carriages.
Along the way, the farmers all looked up and saw that these cavalrymen did not have any armor. Most of them were holding knives and wooden spears. They were all in their twenties or thirties. They were talking and laughing, so they did not panic too much.
It was as if they were watching a show from both sides.
At this moment, Cao Cao and Xun Yu also came out from the Chen Liu government office. They had a shocked expression on their faces," What's going on? Enemy attack?"
"My lord, be careful."
Xun Yu looked into the distance. They were studying the twisted symbols that Xu Zhen had mentioned and were preparing to use them in the current decree when they heard the report.
A large number of cavalrymen appeared outside Chen Liu, and the soldiers outside the city were alarmed and quickly gathered.
A moment later, Cao Cao arrived at the scene and saw Xu Zhen's shadow.
"Isn't that Yixuan? Did he send these people?"
Xun Yu shook his head." I don't know. With the power you gave me, Yixuan can freely deploy his troops?"”
" Huh?!" Cao Cao was stunned." I gave it to you? Did I say that?"
" I did," Xun Yu said with a bitter smile. So he had forgotten.
"When?"
"When I was drinking some time ago."
Xun Yu shook his head slightly. He really had no other choice. It was the first time he had seen such a side of his lord. Of course, it was also Xu Zhen's own superb ability that gave him such a special privilege.
The arrival of these cavalrymen surprised Cao Cao. There was no other reason than the fact that each of them was extremely skilled at riding. Moreover, they had strong bodies and agile movements. It was obvious that they had lived on horseback all year round.
"Where did this come from?"
"My lord, look, that leader…is very familiar!”Yu Jin was leading troops in Chen Liu. He was almost killed by Zhao Zilong, so he recognized him immediately.
"Zhao Yun!"
Cao Cao's eyes lit up. It really is Zhao Yun!"
He clenched his fists again.
They hurriedly walked over. Many civil and military officials had gathered. They had heard that Lord Xu Zhen had released a white-robed general after displaying his might.
For a time, everyone in Chenliu County said that Lord Xu Zhen was a kind person, soft-hearted, and unsuited to be a general.
There were even many generals and scholars who were secretly delighted. After all, they felt that because of this matter, Cao Cao would not dare to give too important a position to Xu Zhen in the future.
This was an opportunity for them.
And this time, although the battle of Xu Prefecture ended in a truce, there would definitely be more battles to come.
Once the spring plowing began, they would definitely have to go to Xuzhou again. After all, they had taken over the territory with great difficulty and could not give it up casually.
Amazing.
Cao Cao was only surprised. He looked at Xu Zhen's back and felt that he couldn't see through him.
This person had a good temperament and didn't like fame and fortune. He was brave but didn't like fighting on the battlefield. He had the talent to benefit the people and also the ideal of stabilizing the world. Now, he actually had the insight to judge people.
Such a talent was truly rare.
Most importantly, Cao Cao could not see any threat from him.
Because Xu Zhen gave people the feeling that he was living well and that he could not fight for anything else.
There were no other requirements for official positions, as long as they were not military officers.
There was no requirement for fame, it was up to him.
He didn't even want to bring glory to his ancestors.
What a strange person.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao quickened his pace and quickly walked over. When he appeared beside Zhang Miao, he only nodded slightly and did not say anything.
After all, his mind was filled with Xu Zhen. Zhang Miao, who was about to bow and greet him, opened his hands, but he froze in mid-air, looking extremely awkward.
"Yixuan! Is General Zilong back?"
With a smile on his face, Cao Cao clasped his hands behind his back and walked in front of Xu Zhen with his bulging general belly. He was actually waiting together.
The corners of Xu Zhen's mouth twitched as he asked softly,""My lord, what are you doing here?"
"Me?" Cao Cao looked around with a smile on his face." Hahaha, I told you that General Zilong would come back. Isn't it wonderful to wait for the return of the brave warriors with you?"”
After saying that, he reached out and pinched Xu Zhen from behind.
The meaning was very simple. Don't expose it.
Xu Zhen actually wanted to laugh, but he held it in. Coincidentally, Zhao Yun came over and heard this. She cupped her fists at Cao Cao and said,"Greetings, Lord. Thanks to Lord Xu's divine foresight, when I returned to the village, my elder brother was already seriously ill…If it wasn't for Lord Xu's reminder, I'm afraid I would have been labeled as an unjust person!”
Zhao Yun was very grateful. As soon as he returned home, he found that his eldest brother was sick in bed and no one was taking care of him.
Furthermore, the official system in Jizhou was chaotic, and Yuan Shao had yet to stabilize Jizhou. The people were still in a state of poverty, and the grain and fodder were all controlled by the gentry and aristocrats. It was almost impossible for the common people to have food and clothing.
After a period of time, his big brother would probably starve to death.
At this moment, the carriages slowly came to a stop. There were more than ten carriages with families on board. The hundreds of cavalrymen who came with them were mostly muscular men.
Zhao Yun smiled at Xu Zhen and said," Sir, these are the 300 brave warriors from my village. All of them are skilled in martial arts and are good at shooting at the same time. I've made an agreement with them to come and seek refuge with you, sir. We'll implement a benevolent policy and be grain transportation officers under you."”
When Cao Cao heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
Are you crazy? You, you actually want to be a grain transport officer! Don't you have any ambitions? Making contributions! Aiyo, I…
"Yixuan, come to my office tonight.”
Cao Cao smiled and patted Xu Zhen's back.
