Li Ru slowly finished reciting the contents of the holy decree, and Cao Xuan also stood up and took the holy decree.

"It's really hard work." Cao Xuan said to Li Ru with a smile.

"Hehe, where is it, but General Cao is young and promising, and he has been appointed as a partial general at a young age, and this time he personally led the troops to quell the chaos, and the future is immeasurable!"

Li Ru and Cao Xuan boasted to each other there, since now Emperor Shao of the Han Dynasty has issued a holy decree, requiring Cao Xuan to take the soldiers and horses to Yingchuan to quell the rebellion, then Cao Xuan has nothing to say, and immediately ordered Che Wu to get the soldiers ready, and left the city this afternoon.

And at this moment, Li Ru saw that Cao Xuan had already walked into the barracks, and a gleam flashed in his eyes from time to time, and at this moment, a middle-aged man next to him was holding his hands in his arms, looking at Cao Xing's gaze quite unpleasantly, he couldn't help but ask Li Ru.

"Wen You, I said that Cao Xing's guy is quite treacherous, not only put us together, but also put Yuan Kui's old guys together, let us fight each other with the holy decree, and he picked up the cheap in the back, not only picked up a partial general from Yuan Kui, but also deceived us with two thousand iron horses, I don't understand, why my eldest brother will help him speak in the court!"

Li Ru glanced at the middle-aged man next to him, this middle-aged man was actually Dong Zhuo's younger brother, named Dong Min.

I only heard Li Ru explain with a smile: "Shu Ying, what you said is right, we do underestimate this Cao Xing a little, and we actually eat at both ends, taking both official positions and military power, and earning a lot of platinum!" The reason why the lord will speak for him in the court is also very simple, this is just one of the transactions between us and Cao Xing! ”

"As for why Cao Xing did this, it's very simple, he wants to avoid the turmoil in the court, and he doesn't want to get involved in this chaos!"

"How can this be that he said that if he doesn't want to get involved, he doesn't want to get involved, and one day I should take a knife and kill him, and it's a hundred!" Dong Min still said with some puzzlement.

However, Li Ru shook his head and explained again: "According to my observation, although Cao Xing is young, he knows a lot about mental skills, and now he has more or less power in his hands, if he doesn't agree to his request, he will only push it to Yuan Kui's side, so there will be one more enemy, it's not that I'm not confident, but I don't want to make extraneous branches, since he wants to go, let him go!" ”

Li Ru's words also happened to hit Cao Xing's thoughts, what will happen in the future in this glorious Luoyang City? Cao Xing knows better than anyone that Cao Xing is still too weak and doesn't want to get involved in this struggle, so he still has 36 plans, since there is now an opportunity to lead troops to quell the rebellion, then Cao Xing naturally can't ask for it. As for Yuan Kui, Dong Zhuo, and Emperor Shaodi of Han in Luoyang, let them love and kill each other.

Luoyang is not very far from Yingchuan, Cao Xuan only traveled for three days, and he has already arrived in Yingchuan, but he has just entered Yingchuan, Cao Xuan feels that something is wrong?

As soon as he rode a fast horse and came to report quickly, Cao Xuan sent out a scout to inquire about the situation, and the scout told Cao Xing that ten miles ahead, he found a team of soldiers and horses coming at a gallop, and there was a banner of Zhou on it.

Cao Xuan asked such a scout, did he see the costumes on the group of soldiers and horses, the scout replied, it is exactly the same as the clothing of ordinary officers and soldiers of the Han Dynasty, there is no difference, Cao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, if he guessed correctly, that army of soldiers and horses should be the county soldiers stationed here by the imperial court.

However, just in case, Cao Xing was still very careful, he first let the troops be stationed in place, wait for the day, and be ready for battle at any time, and then slowly waited for that group of people to approach, that team of people, after seeing Cao Xing's people, was obviously also on guard, Cao Xuan took the car Wu to step forward, and a few people came out on the opposite side.

"I'm the general Cao Xing, this time I was ordered by the Holy Lord to come to Yingchuan to repel the Yellow Turban!" As he spoke, Cao Xuan also took out the holy decree in his hand.

And the coach on the other side, seeing Cao Xuan take out the holy decree, his eyes lit up, he waved his hand to the people under him, signaling that everyone should not be so nervous, he smiled and patted his horse forward, and said to Cao Xuan: "It turned out to be reinforcements sent by the imperial court, General Cao is really disrespectful, I am Yingchuan Taishou Zhou Yin is also!" ”

Cao Xuan looked this Zhou Yin up and down, Zhou Yin is only in his twenties now, but he can become a party Taishou, it seems that the family power behind it is not small, although others are born in a family, but others are now on the same front as Cao Xing, this Zhou Yin looks like an elegant person, with a good demeanor, quite a gentleman's style, so Cao Yin's first feeling about this Zhou Yin is still very good.

"It turned out to be Zhou Taishou, we were ordered to lead the army here, just to help repel the Yellow Turban Army, how is the war going now!"

Zhou Yin smiled and said: "It's really bothering the imperial court, although some Yellow Turban remnants have been found around Yingchuan, but the ones who came to attack my Yingchuan are just a small group of Yellow Turban Army, and I have successfully repelled them with soldiers and horses!" ”

When Cao Xing heard the news, his heart was suddenly shocked, he took a good look at this Zhou Yin again, what this Zhou Yin said, it surprised him, Yingchuan's assistant soldiers and horses are only 3,000, but this Zhou Yin can really rely on 3,000 soldiers and horses to defeat all the Yellow Turban Army?

"Hehe, General Cao, no matter what, you are ordered by the imperial court to assist me in Yingchuan, I, Zhou Yin, am here to thank you for coming on behalf of all the people of Yingchuan, this is not the place to talk, go, let's enter the city, I will pick up the wind and wash the dust for you!"

Zhou Yin was still very enthusiastic, and without saying a word, he pulled Cao Xing in the direction of the city.

On the wine table, Zhou Yin and Cao Xuan pushed the glass and changed the lamp, the atmosphere still seemed relatively harmonious, and Cao Xuan also smiled in return, but at this moment Cao Xuan was a little depressed in his heart, what is this called, originally he just wanted to take this opportunity to come out and have a good stroll, so as not to get involved in the whirlpool of Luoyang, but this Zhou Yin has the ability, Cao Xuan has already beaten the Yellow Turban Army away before he came, how to play this time? Isn't it Cao Xing who has not made an inch of success now, so he will go back?

However, just when Cao Xuan was distressed, an officer and soldier who was suddenly outside the door suddenly came in, and asked Zhou Yin a little anxiously, but he looked at Cao Xuan again.

Zhou Yin looked at the soldier, then at Cao Xing, and then said with a smile: "If there is anything, it doesn't hurt to say it, whether it is military secrets or government essentials, you can say it, the other General Cao is a person sent by the imperial court, how can he leak the news of our army!" ”

Now that Zhou Yin has spoken, the soldier no longer hides it, and says directly: "Lord Taishou, the big thing is not good, our army's spies have reported, Gong Du has made a comeback with the Yellow Turban Army, and this time there have been tens of thousands of people, and the banner they played this time seems to be Zhang Mancheng in the Yellow Turban Army!" ”

When the soldier told the news, Zhou Yin was stunned for a second. Originally, before dawn this morning, he led his troops to assault and directly cleaned up Gong Du, the general of the Yellow Turban Army who came to attack Yingchuan, but he did not expect that the sky had not completely darkened at this moment, and this Gong Du actually came back with people.

And this time the boss doesn't seem to be the Gong Du, changed to Zhang Mancheng, Zhang Mancheng is still quite famous in the Yellow Turban Army, and it is said that he is one of the thirty-six commanders that Zhang Jiao accepted his fate back then. There are still a lot of battles fought, so the comprehensive ability is more than twice as strong as that of Shang Gongdu, plus this time others have tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, so isn't Yingchuan dangerous?

And after Cao Xing heard this, he also frowned and pondered, and after a while, he also understood why the Yellow Turban Army went and returned.

The Yellow Turban Army has been everywhere in the world all year round, opposing the Han Dynasty, and they have also figured out some ways of the Han Dynasty.

Every time they attack a city, if that city can't hold it, Taishou will naturally ask for help like Luoyang, and Luoyang may or may not send reinforcements, but even if they send reinforcements, they will only send reinforcements once at most.

Early this morning, Zhou Yin led people to kill this small group of yellow turbans, and as a result, the reinforcements of the imperial court came, and the Yellow Turban Army inquired and found that the soldiers and horses brought by Cao Xing were only 5,000 people, plus Zhou Yin's original 3,000 soldiers and horses, there were only more than 8,000 people, which was not too many people for the large army of the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, the Yellow Turban Army has already decided that since Luoyang has sent reinforcements to Yingchuan once, it will not send a second time, in this case, why not transfer the large army over and capture Yingchuan at one time.

Thinking of this, Cao Xuan couldn't help but take a deep breath, it seems that Zhang Mancheng, who led the army this time, is still quite smart, and actually took advantage of this loophole to kill a horse pistol.

But this is also in line with Cao Xing's intentions, anyway, he has no good fruit to eat when he goes back now, since Zhang Mancheng is here to send him to death, then he will fight, but Cao Xuan did not speak directly, but aimed his eyes at Zhou Yin next to him, he wanted to see what Zhou Yin's reaction was.

Zhou Yin was born in a family, Cao Xuan originally thought that Zhou Yin, who was born in a family, would not be flustered when he encountered this kind of thing, but at least he would be at a loss, but what he did not expect was that in the face of such a crisis, Zhou Yin still maintained his proper gentlemanly demeanor, frowned and pondered for a moment, and then slowly Cao Xuan hugged a punch.

"General Cao, the Yellow Turban Army is menacing this time, I'm afraid it will hold Yingchuan, and I still need your help!"

"What did Zhou Taishou say? Cao Xing is here to assist you in defending Yingchuan, this is my business, needless to say! ”

Cao Xing's words were very bold, and Zhou Yin also smiled very frankly, and the two hit it off.
