A soldier quickly went to fetch a basin of water, brought it, and handed it to the woman.

"Wash yourself!" Cao Ang pressed his hand on the hilt of the sword, held his head high, and said proudly.

The woman lowered her head, casually touched the water on her dark face, and suddenly revealed her skin as clear as jade, and then looked at Cao Ang with bright eyes.

Just by looking at this half of the face, you know that she is undoubtedly a beauty.

"You're Zhen?" Cao Ang asked.

"Exactly, it's the slave family," Zhen Mi's words flickered, and her face showed a look of horror, like a frightened fawn.

In this war-torn era, a woman's fame is a double-edged sword, and the advantage is that she can marry into a wealthy family by virtue of her appearance, ascend to the sky in one step, and receive all the grace, but if the person she marries is not strong, it is very easy to attract trouble and be snatched up like a pet.

Zhen Mi is a well-known beauty in Hebei, and she thought that marrying the son of the Yuan family was already considered to be the best of strength, and she naturally had no worries for a lifetime.

But how could he have thought that such a powerful Yuan clan would be defeated by Guandu.

So far, even Yecheng has been breached.

Zhen Mi is just a little woman with no scheming, after seeing the city broken, she smeared ashes on her face in a panic, thinking that she could get through the trick in order to keep her loyalty to her husband, but she was recognized at a glance.

"What is Childe going to do with the slave family?"

Zhen Mi's voice is as good as a yellow warbler, and she is so beautiful, and she is a wife, Cao Ang looked at her pitiful, and let her be slaughtered, like a lamb to be slaughtered, he couldn't help but have a fire rising in his heart.

"That's it," Cao Ang finally shook his head, sighed and said to himself: "This time I received such a big gift from that guy, and I have already promised to give him a return gift, and I can't be untrustworthy, so I will cheapen that guy."

Someone came, and sent a servant woman to clean up the woman and send her to Chang'an. ”

There was a trace of despair in Zhen Mi's eyes, but after all, he still did not escape the fate of being given away as an object.

Originally, he was married to the son of the Yuan family, but now he was robbed by the son of the Cao family, in fact, it doesn't matter if it is good or bad, it's just like that.

But now the son of the Cao family regards her as a gift again, and he doesn't know who to give it to.

Who knows how long that person can hold on, will he have to experience the third robbery in this life?

After all, it's your own life!

……

Cao Cao personally led an army of 10,000 to resist the frustration from Handan.

Frustrated Hu came under the banner of avenging his father, thinking that the mourning soldiers would win, but although there were 8,000 people, their combat power was not comparable to the elite of the Cao army.

The two sides met in the field and started a decisive battle, and before the main force of Cao's army attacked, the tiger and leopard cavalry led by Cao Chun, as the vanguard force, had already scattered the troops under Fu Hu.

After the main force of the Cao army rushed over, the only thing that could be done was to cut melons and vegetables and harvest people's heads.

In the end, he also died in the rebellion, and I don't know who killed him, and the 8,000 army became 8,000 corpses in just an hour.

"Zihe, hurry up and clean up the battlefield, don't be greedy for baggage, lightly equipped, and hurry back to the army," Cao Cao told Cao Chun: "When I return to the army Yecheng, the seven-day period has arrived, and I need to let Ang'er return to the army and Xudu immediately to stabilize the rear." ”

"Big brother, Ang'er took away the military horses of his headquarters and returned to defend Xudu, if the northern counties of Jizhou come to aid Yecheng again, my army will probably be stretched." Cao Chun hesitated.

Since they can't take Yecheng, their current strategy is still to encircle the point to send reinforcements, with Cao Ang here, the father and son are taking turns, one around and one fighting, and the cooperation is very tacit.

However, if Cao Ang's army and horses are transferred, Cao's military strength will naturally be greatly weakened, and if the encirclement fails to send reinforcements, it is very easy to become Yecheng and other counties to join forces and attack Cao's army.

Cao Cao is familiar with the art of war, so he naturally knows this danger, he sighed and said: "This is also a matter of no way, who knew that Yecheng was so strong by Yuan Shao, and it was indeed not an overnight task to conquer it, but I thought things were too simple before."

Now the only way to do this is to cut off Yuan Shang'er's wings first, and wait for Jizhou to be flat in all directions, and see how long he Yuan Shang can defend that lonely city. ”

"Newspaper—"

A herald rushed over with a long voice, rolled the saddle and dismounted, bowed down and said, "Prime Minister, the eldest prince has led the army to conquer Yecheng." ”

"What did you say?" Cao Cao didn't seem to believe his ears, and asked repeatedly, "Ang'er has broken through Yecheng?"

How was it breached? ”

The herald seemed to have expected Cao Cao to ask this, and said clearly: "It was Prince Ping who sent Guo Yuan's head to the eldest prince, and the city gate should be opened at night, and the eldest prince took the opportunity to enter the city without much resistance." ”

"Is Ping'er doing this again?" Cao Cao and Cao Chun glanced at each other, and it turned out that the key point of the matter was that Liu Ping killed Guo Yuan, completely cutting off Yuan Jun's hope.

"But, how did Ping'er kill Guo Yuan?" Cao Cao asked.

This matter, the herald in front of him does not know.

"That's it, don't care about this, Ping'er inadvertently helped me a lot again," Cao Cao sighed, and then said in a deep voice: "Withdraw the army and return to Yecheng!" ”

Yecheng is the banner of Hebei, take this city in your hands, and Hebei will be pacified just around the corner.

They were extremely excited to return to the army, and Cao Cao entered the city, and was immediately shocked by Yuan Shao's luxurious mansion.

Yuan Shao was so happy that the official residence he built was comparable to the palace.

Moreover, the scale of urban construction in Yecheng and the office facilities in the city are also much better than those of the newly built small county in Xu County.

At this time, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and others suggested that Cao Cao move the Wei metric system to this place.

The luxurious mansion is not actually for his own enjoyment, but also a symbol of status, and it is also a deterrent to other princes in the world.

Cao Cao agreed to their suggestion, played the Son of Heaven, took the initiative to move to Yecheng, and moved all the civil and military forces and their families over, leaving the Son of Heaven in Xudu.

Since then, Yecheng has become the political center of the Cao family.

It is also worth mentioning that Cao Cao was very benevolent to Yuan Shao's wife Liu, after all, Cao Cao and Yuan Shao were young, and when Cao Cao was defeated, he still wanted to entrust his family to Yuan Shao.

Now that Yuan Shao is dead, Cao Cao returned all the things in his house to the Liu family and moved her to Xudu for retirement.

These things were all arranged, and Cao Cao gathered civil and military forces to discuss the next battle arrangement.

"Now that Yecheng has been decided, the counties of Jizhou are looking forward to the wind, and they are very relieved," Cao Cao said proudly: "The only pity is that when Ang'er attacked Yecheng, he let Yuan Shang go, and he was suspected of returning to the mountain." ”

"My son didn't plan well, I hope my father will atone for his sins," Cao Ang took the initiative to stand up and plead guilty, and he also regretted letting Yuan Shang go that night.

"Forget it, it's already a miracle that you can take Yecheng, don't mention this matter again," Cao Cao looked very generous, waved his hand and said: "Now that the brothers of Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi are gathered in Youzhou, they want to lead the army north to conquer in person, why do you think so?" ”
