Early the next morning, Li put on his armor and took his halberd.

led 200 cavalry and personally came to the guest house to escort Xun Yu to Dongwuyang.

Recently, Montenegrin thieves have occasionally come out to rob, and they are afraid of encountering Montenegrin thieves on the road, so everything that should be prepared must be prepared.

There are more than 100 people in this big clan of Xun Yu and more than 30 cars.

In addition to carrying baggage, the old and the young and the young and the women rode in the chariot, and the young and strong men rode horses.

Before, Han Fu sent a hundred cavalry to meet Xun Yu, and Li Xian said to them: "Han Envoy Jun has ceded Jizhou to Yuan Shao and surrendered to Chen Liu. Mr. Xun is now escorted by me to Dongwuyang, and you can go home. ”

After their concentrated discussion, they said to Li Xian: "Since Han Envoy Jun is no longer in Jizhou, we do not want to belong to Yuan Shao, if the general is willing to take him in, we can be under the general's command." ”

Li Xian was overjoyed, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong.

"I would be glad if you would follow me, but I can't recruit my own troops yet. Why don't you follow me to Dongwuyang, give General Cao, and come under General Cao's command, how about it? ”

Li Xian felt that being under his command was the same as being under Cao Cao's command.

Besides, now he can't recruit troops without authorization, which will attract Cao Cao's suspicion.

It is better to take them to Dongwuyang and arrange them by Cao Cao.

Before leaving, Li Xian had already sent a fast horse to inform Xiahoudun in Puyang first, and then went to Dongwuyang to report to Cao Cao.

The carriages and horses all the way were mighty, because there were three hundred cavalry escorts, and the scattered bandits along the way could only look at these dozens of carts and sigh.

Three days later, the carriage and horses arrived in Tobuyang.

After receiving the report, Cao Cao sent a scout horse out of the city for a hundred miles to investigate, and immediately reported back after seeing Xun Yu's convoy.

Li Xian and others were on the official road twenty miles away from the city, and saw Cao Cao leading his subordinates to greet him on the side of the road.

Li Xian dismounted from a distance, walked quickly to Cao Cao, and bowed to Cao Cao to plead guilty: "Li Xian did not ask the general for his life, and left his post without permission, please punish the general." ”

Cao Cao helped Li Xian up and said, "It's not straight, you can personally escort Mr. Xun here, not only is it not guilty, but I will also give you credit." ”

At this time, Xun Yu had also dismounted and walked in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao took Xun Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, my son Fang also." ”

Xun Yu said: "The general is too praised, Yu is coarse, and he only wants to be able to do his meager strength for the general and the Han." ”

Li Xian took the opportunity to say to Cao Cao at this time: "General, Han Wenjie was sent to meet Mr. Xun's hundred horsemen before, and now they are unwilling to return to Jizhou, saying that they want to join the general's command. ”

Cao Cao is on the rise: "In this case, by the way, you only have two hundred horsemen now, right, then put them under your subordinates and under your command." ”

Li Xian was overjoyed: "General Xie." ”

Cao Cao took Xun Yu and rode into the city together.

Cao Cao took Xun Yu as his Sima, participated in the military, and arranged for the Xun Yu clan to settle down in Yecheng.

Li Xian rested for two days, prepared to return to Baima, and asked Cao Cao to resign.

Cao Cao saw Li Xian escorting Xun Yu to come, and thought of his wife and children who were still in Qian County.

Now that he has his own territory, it is considered stable, and he has to go and bring his wife and children, otherwise it will be troublesome to be captured as a hostage by the enemy in the future.

This task fell to Li Xian again.

This is another opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Fortunately, he picked up his wife and children, and if he picked up his father, he would have to bring the soldiers.

Li Xian only took his 300 cavalry and rushed all the way to Qiaoxian.

Three days later, they arrived in Qian County.

Cao Cao's house is fifty miles outside the east city of Qian County.

When he was the prime minister of Jinan, because of his good achievements in governing the county, the imperial court moved him to the east county Taishou.

However, Cao Cao was jealous and hateful, and the court was rampant with powerful ministers and nobles, and he was afraid of causing trouble to his family, so he simply called himself sick and returned to his hometown.

From this time on, Cao Cao had lost confidence and hope in the current imperial court.

At that time, he was powerless to change, so he chose to escape from the world.

Cao Cao built a house in the forest outside the city of Qiaoxian, usually reading and hunting, and closed off guests.

There are also Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian accompanying each other day and night, so they are not at ease.

Li Xian first let the doorman enter to report.

After a while, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy came out and said to Li Xian: "General Li, my mother invites the general in." ”

Li Xian guessed that this might be Cao Ang, but he was still unsure, so he asked, "Are you Cao Ang?" ”

Cao Ang didn't expect Li Xian to know him, so he was very happy: "The general also knows Cao Ang?" ”

Li Xian can be said to know nothing except the name Cao Ang and when he died.

"Of course, your father often praised you for your cleverness and filial piety. In addition to studying, do you usually practice martial arts? ”

Li Xian wanted Cao Ang to practice martial arts, and even if he followed Cao Cao to conquer Zhang Xiu in the south, he might be able to protect himself.

"I can use a knife and shoot arrows."

"It's so powerful, I'm going to test you when I'm free."

At this time, two more children ran out, a girl of twelve or thirteen years old, and a boy of three or four years old, followed by several servants.

Seeing that the two of them were still talking, the girl said to Cao Ang, "Brother, my mother asked you to invite the general in, why are you still standing here?" ”

Cao Ang hurriedly said to Li Xie: "General, please come in." ”

Li Xian was also afraid that the two ladies would wait for a long time and lose their manners.

He let the cavalry rest outside, and followed Cao Ang into the courtyard himself.

I have seen the two ladies, and I know what I mean.

Because I had to pack my things, I could not leave until three days later.

Li Xian led the soldiers and horses to camp beside him and waited.

On the second day, Cao Ang took a bow and arrow and a sword, and took his sister to the camp to find Li Xian and ask Li Xian to test his martial arts.

Cao Ang will be fifteen years old in half a month, and he is nearly 1.7 meters tall.

He played with the knife for a while, and it looked decent, but it wasn't strong enough.

Li Xian erected an arrow target to shoot him again, and eight arrows out of ten arrows hit the target, which is not bad.

"Ang Gongzi's archery skills are good, but his strength is a little lacking, as long as he practices for a few more years, he will definitely be as powerful as General Cao."

"I'm going to shoot arrows too."

At this time, the younger sister who was standing aside snatched the bow in Cao Ang's hand and said.

The girl's name is Cao Min, and she is Cao Cao's eldest daughter, who will later be Princess Qinghe, who is two years younger than Cao Ang and thirteen years old this year.

The three or four-year-old boy who followed him yesterday was Cao Pi.

Cao Min also shot three arrows, but missed none of them.

And she didn't have the strength to pull the bow anymore.

In order not to embarrass his sister, Cao Ang said to Li Xian: "General Li, you can also shoot arrows for us." ”

"Yes, let's also test General Li's archery skills." Cao Min echoed.

"Okay, I'll shoot you."

Cao Ang's bow was too light, and Li Xian asked his subordinates to bring his own bow, and placed the target a hundred paces away, instead of thirty paces.

Loading arrows, drawing bows, shooting arrows.

Ten arrows, Cao Ang and Cao Min shouted loudly and enviously beside them.

Li Xian's training in the military camp every day in recent days is not a joke, not only is his archery skills good, but he is now very good at using knives and halberds.

Cao Ang took Li Xian's hand and said, "General Li taught me archery, right?" ”

Cao Min followed and said: "I also want to learn, General Li, you also have to teach me archery." ”

"Okay, okay, I'll teach you, but Xiaomin, what does your daughter learn to do in archery, and you don't have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy."

"I just want to learn, and I want to be as good as General Li." Cao Min pursed his lips and said.

Cao Ang in order to relieve Li Xian: "Sister Min, it's okay if you don't learn, I will protect you in the future." ”

Cao Ang and Cao Min were both born to Mrs. Liu and are siblings, so they have a deep relationship.

During the three days of waiting, Cao Ang came to Li Xian every day and asked Li Xian to teach him martial arts.

Cao Min also came with him every time, and Cao Pi also wanted to follow, but he was too young and Mrs. Bian wouldn't follow him.

Because there were only Cao Cao's wife, children, and servants, and there were twenty other guards, all forty or fifty people, divided into three chariots, and five chariots were heavy.

Cao Ang refused to take the car, insisted on riding a horse with Li Xian and the others, and wore armor and held a long sword, like a military general.

Li Xian led a team of 300 cavalry and escorted them on the road.
