Cao Xing refuted Yuan Shao's face, this can be described as a big thing, at least for Yuan Shao, this matter is really big, he was born in a famous family, whether it is employing people or selecting talents, it depends on his background, but Cao Xing does not give him face so much, he has already committed his big taboo, so he and Cao Xing are now incompatible, Yuan Shao used all his strength, this time he must make Cao Xing look good.

Of course, Cao Xing didn't know all this, Cao Xing should eat and drink after returning to the barracks, as if nothing had happened, until the next day, the news of Sun Jian and Cao Cao's defeat came.

Cao Xuan took Che Wu and Chen Hu to find Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

The failure of Cao Cao and Sun Jian was not only ridiculed by many people, but more importantly, the defeat of the two of them made everyone find an excuse, thinking that Dong Zhuo's time had not yet fully arrived, since Dong Zhuo had completely evacuated Luoyang and fled to Chang'an, then if you want to eliminate Dong Zhuo again, you must think in the long run.

Therefore, the princes of the Nineteenth Road, all of whom have their own reasons, are ready to go back to their homes, and they have come and come, and their reputation has been enough, so it is time to go back.

Cao Cao and Sun Jian's losses this time were very serious, it is said that Sun Jian has lost half of the soldiers and horses, but Sun Jian behaved quite freely, with Sun Jian's violent temper, after coming back, he didn't say a word, and directly let his subordinates reorganize the soldiers and horses, and prepare to return to Jiangdong.

And Cao Cao showed a little deep, he and Sun Jian joined forces to pursue, but in the ambush of Li Ru, Sun Jian was a general, charging ahead, killing several people in a row, but his Cao Cao's martial arts were low, and finally Cao Cao's brother Cao Hong, risked his life and gave the horse to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was able to get out of danger, but it was precisely because of this that Cao Cao not only lost a large number of soldiers and horses, but also lost face.

After coming back, Cao Cao looked a lot heavier, he watched everyone leave one after another, no longer speaking, he just arched his hand to Cao Xing and said: "Brother Cao Xing, the green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, I believe we will have a chance to meet in the future!" ”

And Sun Jian also bowed his hand to Cao Xing's heroism: "Farewell!" Then he took his son Sun Ce and a group of people back to Jiangdong and watched the backs of the two of them leaving.

Cao Xing knew that after this defeat, Cao Cao's heart was fully mature, and he might be getting closer and closer to the hero in history.

More importantly, because of Cao Xing's arrival, he got the jade seal of the country, so he still subtly helped Sun Jian avoid a crisis, Sun Jian is also a very stunning, Cao Xuan doesn't know what will become of the world after going back this time, with Sun Jian's competition?

The dissolution of the princes of the Nineteenth Route also marked the beginning of the era of separation.

Cao Xing also felt that he had stayed here a little too much, and it was almost time to leave, and the next day, he took his soldiers and horses and slowly left Luoyang City, preparing to return to Bianyun County.

When Yuan Shao learned that Cao Xing was completely out of the city, the whole person was so excited that he directly asked people to set up a tiger skin stool outside his big tent, and he sat on it and looked into the distance, as if he had seen Yan Liangwen return victoriously, and at this moment he was carrying Cao Xing's head and slowly walking towards him.

As a result, Yuan Shao sat from morning to dusk, and the final result was that Yan Liangwen did come back, but instead of returning triumphantly as he imagined, he had a feeling of despair.

Yuan Shao hurriedly went up to ask Yan Liangwen Chou what was going on, and Yan Liangwen Chou could only helplessly spread his hands to Yuan Shao and explained.

They followed Yuan Shao's plan, but they had already laid an ambush in the woods outside the city at the beginning, so you are the only way for Cao Xing.

Cao Xuan did come slowly with soldiers and horses, but it just made Yan Liangwen ugly, but what he didn't expect was that there was another group of people walking with Cao Xing's army, and after a closer look, the leader turned out to be Yuan Shu.

This time, the two brothers Yan Liangwen and Chou were a little dumbfounded, Yuan Shu was a general of the imperial court, and his official position did not know where it was bigger than them, and more importantly, Yuan Shu was the same as Yuan Shao, out of a famous family, and after the three princes of the world, and if it was really according to respect and humility, Yuan Shu was still the son-in-law, and he Yuan Shao was just the eldest son, because Yuan Shao had been valued by his uncle Yuan Kui before, so his status gradually grew.

This time, Yan Liangwen was a little difficult, and they couldn't imagine that Yuan Shu and Cao Xuan were mixed together, whether they should be killed this time, but the two hesitated, but they were caught by Cao Xing.

Yuan Shu directly and unceremoniously yelled Yan Liangwen Chou, and then scolded him, Yan Liangwen Chou could only let it go, and did not dare to say half a word, and finally Yan Liangwen Chou could only watch, under the escort of Yuan Shu, Cao Xuan left here.

When Yuan Shao learned the news, the whole person was furious, and rushed into Yuan Shu's military camp with people, asking Yuan Shu why he wanted to oppose him, but what Yuan Shao didn't expect was that when his younger brother confronted him, he put on an indifferent posture, as if to tell him Yuan Shao that he Yuan Shu wanted to protect Cao Shu today.

This made Yuan Shao angry, but Yuan Shao quickly thought of a question, Yuan Shu is also the one that is incompatible with Cao Xing according to reason, but why is it abnormal this time, to help Cao Xing, after thinking about it, Yuan Shao immediately found the key to the problem, he looked at Yuan Shu with burning eyes, and asked word by word.

"Could it be that this heirloom jade seal has fallen into your hands!"

After Yuan Shu heard this, he closed his eyes and raised his head, noncommittal.

Yuan Shao was so angry that his teeth itched, but he was helpless, he couldn't directly let Yan Liangwen Chou snatch the jade seal from Yuan Shu, one is because he is unknown, and there is a more important reason, that is, Yuan Shao also knows that Yuan Shu's military strength is no worse than him, if it really fights, maybe it will be a lose-lose situation, hesitate again and again, and finally Yuan Shao still endured this breath. Just brush your sleeves and leave.

When he stepped into the state of Bingzhou, Cao Xuan looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed, so far, he has been completely safe, Cao Xuan couldn't help but feel out a piece of paper from his arms, it looks very luxurious, and it can only be enjoyed by people who are not rich or noble.

All the content written on this piece of paper was written by Yuan Shu, the later general, which was an IOU to be precise.

Since Cao Xuan played Yuan Shao's arrival, Cao Xuan knew that Yuan Shu must be inseparable from him, and he had to find a way to block Yuan Shao's soldiers, because it was unwise to fight hard with Yuan Shao at this moment, Cao Xuan didn't want to lose with Yuan Shao, he still had to flow his strength and go back to Bingzhou to develop well.

Therefore, Cao Xing finally chose to use his strength to fight, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have too many similarities between the two brothers, both of them are people who value fame very seriously, so Cao Xuan finally found Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu naturally knew that if he wanted to get the heirloom jade seal from Cao Xing's hands, he naturally couldn't coerce it, otherwise with Cao Xing's character, he wouldn't hand it over if he was killed, so he immediately changed his face and had a good talk with Cao Xing.

In the end, the result of the negotiation was very successful, both parties gave a satisfactory price, Cao Xuan directly handed over the heirloom jade seal, and Yuan Shu wrote an IOU to Cao Xing.

The IOU was clearly written, and Cao Xuan handed over the jade seal to Yuan Shu, who was willing to provide 200,000 taels of gold in exchange.

When Yuan Shu offered this price, Cao Xing was really taken aback. However, if you think about it carefully, you can also understand why Yuan Shu's shot is so generous.

Yuan Shu now occupies the place in Runan, that place can be described as a rich land, Yuan Shu in history, is to rely on the place in Runan to call the emperor, if that place is not rich, it is a poor place, let me ask Yuan Shu has such courage to be the emperor?

So don't look at the 200,000 taels of gold that sounds like a lot, but for Yuan Shu, it may only be a drop in the dime.

Therefore, Yuan Shu and Cao Xuan have formed an alliance in their subconscious, and since it is an alliance, it makes sense that Yuan Shu protects Cao Xuan from leaving the city.

Yuan Shu is also a famous person, and now he has given Cao Xuan an IOU, in this week's time, Yuan Shu is also in a very active arrangement, directly from the field has used a lot of gold one after another, plus Yuan Shu, there is already a total of 20,000 gold, sent to Cao Xing's hands, so the rest of the money, Cao Xuan does not need to worry.

It took a few more days for Cao Xing and the others to return to Bianyun County, and as soon as they returned to Bianyun County, they were warmly cheered by everyone.

Seeing that Bianyun County and the surrounding counties of Bianyun County are all thriving scenes, Cao Xing's heart is also extremely proud, even though the fight outside is in full swing, but his Jiuyuan County is still safe and sound, this is a kind of pride.

However, today's Jiuyuan County is far from what Cao Xuan expected, Cao Xuan directly summoned all the county orders in the nine counties of Jiuyuan County, and now he has a lot of money in his hands, so Cao Xuan wants to make Bianyun County develop better.

The first thing Cao Xing did was to reduce the tax, and the tax was reduced from 30% to 205%, so that the people would have more food in their hands and would be richer.

Of course, Cao Xing attaches the most importance to farming, after all, in this era, the abundance of grain, to a certain extent, represents a country's combat power, so Cao Xing put a lot of money into farming, encouraging farmers to increase production.

On the other hand, Cao Xing's farm has now begun to take shape, and Cao Xing asked Jia Kui to divide the labor reasonably, half of the meat must be left to the army, and the other half can flow into the market.

In addition, there are those artificial craftsmen that Ma Bo has been managing, the wisdom of the ancient workers is unlimited, the reason why they did not shine in the past is only because of the constraints of the etiquette of the feudal era, and now Cao Xing has completely broken these shackles, and invested a lot of money in them, I believe that it will not be long before there will definitely be something great to win the world.

This series of political measures was almost over, and Cao Xing set his sights back on the army.

Cao Xing's four generals, with Chen Hu as the commander-in-chief, and the rest set up three yuan leading generals, namely Hu Che'er, Zhong Qi and Zhou Cang.

Cao Xing first aimed at the infantry, and the infantry was all led by Zhou Cang, after all, the infantry was slightly easier to transform.

The arms of ancient warfare were roughly divided into three arms: archers, infantry, and cavalry. Full of attack power.

Archers do not need to charge, only need to shoot at a long distance, this type of army can be described as a relatively safe one on the battlefield, but it also has its drawbacks, that is, once the enemy rushes in, the combat effectiveness is basically nothing.

As for the infantry, it is a bit dangerous, and every battle must be carried out first. The casualty rate was extremely high, Cao Xing thought about it, and finally determined that if he wanted to change the current situation of the infantry, there were only two ways, one was to strengthen training, so Cao Xing's request for Zhou Cang was to strengthen infantry training. Each person should wear at least forty pounds of armor. Of course, if it is during the battle, you can take off this bulky armor and equip it with the armor created by Ma Bo himself.

This kind of armor is not very thick, but the defense and range are extremely wide, and it was finally created by Cao He and Ma Bo overnight research, even if there is a sword slashed on this armor, the space inside the armor has a large buffer distance. As a result, the rate of casualties among soldiers will be greatly reduced.

Although the defense coefficient of this armor is relatively high, it is still relatively bulky, with more than 20 catties, but compared to the armor worn by these soldiers in their daily training, it is much easier.

Under Cao Xing's supervision, Zhou Cang trained an elite infantry in just one week.

Cao Xuan even took two days to inspect each infantry in this army one by one, and finally screened half of the people from them and personally put them under the command of Zhou Cang, and this half is also the elite of the elite, equipped with the best armor and the best blade. And Zhou Cang also waited by Cao Xing's side with this infantry at all times.

After all, Zhou Cang is known for his loyalty in history, and let him stay by his side, Cao Xing is naturally relieved.

The army was founded by Cao Xing, and Zhou Cang also asked Cao Xing to give this unit a name, Cao Xuan thought for a moment, and finally named it Chexia Tiger Style.

Although there are not many people under the car, there are only more than 1,500 people now, but if they are used properly, this army is enough to fight a force of 5,000 people.

However, nothing is smooth sailing, just when Cao Xing had just finished building the iron army of Hushi under the car, the north was suddenly in an emergency, and the beacon towers were lit one after another, and it was obvious that something had happened over there.

In fact, this kind of thing is also relatively common in Bingzhou, that is, Xianbei invaded again, but the leader of Xianbei's invasion this time made Cao Xuan have some doubts, and it is said that their leader is called Hadoli.
