Leaving Wang Wei, Xu Huang, and Huang Gai to guard the state, Lu Bu led the Iron Camel and the 30,000 cavalry of the Eight Banners of the Heavenly Wolf, and Bu Dugen sent Liu Bao to lead 20,000 cavalry to assist and go to the western Xianbei Shan Yuting.

On the other hand, Cao Xing led 60,000 foot soldiers, mainly iron camels, and eight banner soldiers of the Heavenly Wolf, on the way back to Luoyang.

The generals accompanying the army were already a little surprised by Cao Xing's phenomenon of several times the number of people who went out and returned.

The four-color and sixteen-class flags were displayed in the air, but the main soldier flag was not seen when the expedition was made.

The chief general of the Chinese army was extremely quiet, leading the two generals, and the pottery merchant who temporarily acted as Cao Xing's escort along the way, Cao Xing didn't say a word without speaking.

"Hey!"

Cao Xuan sighed, and the potter, who was like a master and apprentice, immediately said: "Master! The futile is guilty, and I can't share your worries! ”

Cao Xuan waved his hand, signaling that it was okay, and opened his mouth with a look of remembrance:

"Lonely! If Gong was here, he would definitely have no topic to find a topic and ask why he left all the regular soldiers in Bingzhou.

In the past, when Gong was here, I always thought he was verbose, always talking nonsense, and always giggling all day, but now I found that after leaving him, I suddenly felt lonely! ”

"There is ...... in vain"

The terrified potter wanted to worship again, but was interrupted by Cao Xing.

"Xiaoxian, it's not your fault! It's just that now I'm your master, but when Gong Du was alive, I was also his lord, do you see when he was polite to me at a critical moment?

I'm not going to eat people, let it go! Laugh a little! ”

"Yes!"

The potter's waist had already bent down, and he had done it respectfully, and he squeezed out a little smile when he got up.

Looking at this reluctant smile, and looking at Sun Guan and Zang Ai standing behind the pottery merchant, Cao Xing was even more nostalgic for Gong Du.

Gong is gone, the new and old generals are all serving in the local area, Cao Xing only feels that he is infinitely lonely, and he doesn't even have a person who can let go of talking.

Is that what it means to be alone?

Cao Xing sighed to himself, and closed his mouth, no longer embarrassed by the potter, sometimes the character is innate, and sometimes it is related to the time and experience of acquaintance.

Like Zhu Yuanzhang, after he sat on the emperor, everyone was afraid of him, no matter how much he said not to be polite and not to be surprised, he still couldn't change it, but there was a person who always called Zhu Yuanzhang's nickname very casually, Zhu Chongba.

Whenever this happens, Zhu Chongba not only does not get angry, but also feels very enjoyable, this title makes him feel an incomparably full, so that later for this person who called him Zhu Chongba, he did a lot of things to suppress anger and kill.

Who says the superior doesn't need to be without? Can't talk to people well? At least I don't want to.

This is Cao Xing's heart at this time, but he doesn't think anyone can hear it.

Southern Xiongnu Shan Yuting is located in the north of Xihe County, not very far from Luoyang, let alone by boat.

In ten days, the army of 60,000 Eight Banners returned to Luoyang.

Outside the city gate, Prime Minister Yuan Kui personally led hundreds of officials to greet him.

As soon as they met, before Cao Xing had time to dismount, Prime Minister Yuan Kui had already taken the first step to salute: "Congratulations to General Wei for returning victoriously and once again spreading the national prestige of the Han Dynasty to the outside of the Saiwai!" Your Majesty has an edict here, and I also ask General Wei to take the edict! ”

Your nephews are all crusading against me, and you are so fearless! What a character too!

Cao Xing hurriedly gave up.

Yuan Kui opened the edict: "...... Since Wei Huo, with the withering of talents, the Saiwai Hu people slowly disobey the indoctrination, unscrupulously detain and plunder, there is the Xin Ben Dynasty to defend the general Cao Xing, conquer the southern barbarians, cut down the northern Hu, is really a hero unparalleled in the world!

Today, he has sealed 3,000 food towns and promoted to general! ”

The opening is a bunch of praise, this is to kill yourself?

Wei Qing and Huo Qu are the third people after they get sick, and none of them are talents, so what will the 28th founding Yuntai be? What is the horse aid of the expedition to Baiyue and the expedition to Qianghu? What are Liangzhou Sanming and the three famous generals of the dynasty, Huangfu, Zhu and Lu?

This is the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the Western Han Dynasty, can this edict be accepted? Wouldn't it be a public provocation to the whole world of the family?

Cao Xing shook his head heavily: "How can the minister be virtuous!" The meager achievements are all exchanged for the blood of the soldiers, and if you want to reward those sacrificed soldiers! They have become martyrs, and their families still need to live without pillars! ”

When he said this, Cao Xing's eyes did not leave Yuan Kui, and when the other party put away the edict after a few rounds of shirking with him, he seemed to see some disappointment in his eyes!

Are you disappointed that you didn't get carried away by the victory? Are you so stupid? I became a dispensable general, and then let Yuan Shao, who claimed to be a hussar general, justifiably conquer me?

When Cao Xuan returned to General Wei's Mansion, Liu Gui had been waiting for a long time.

"My lord! The situation is a little bad, when you went north to attack the Xiongnu and Xianbei, the rebel alliance leader Yuan Shao attacked the city and conquered the city, first Hanoi and Shangdang, and then the army retreated north and south, and went east, Wei County, Julu, and Zhao were occupied by it one after another, and Bohai raised troops to play the Yuan Zi banner to support Yuan Shao, who had never taken office or was self-proclaimed! ”

"Then how did Han Fu react?"

Liu Gui was a little puzzled when asked, thinking about what kind of big man this Han Fu is? After that, truthfully:

"His leading army captured the Changshan Kingdom, proclaimed himself the prime minister, and then joined Yuan Shao's crusade against the Zhongshan Kingdom."

Eh, how could I forget that the current Han Fu does not have Dong Zhuo's official title, so it is not the history of Jizhou Thorn!

Expecting Han Fu to meet Yuan Shao like in history is obviously a bit slim.

Without Han Fu's containment, wouldn't Hebei Yuan Shao be captured?

After saying Han Fu, Liu Gui continued:

"Now most of Jizhou has fallen into the hands of Yuan Shao, who has already proclaimed himself the post of pastor of Jizhou, and the above table recommended by Han Fu is still pressed in the court, waiting for the lord to come back and make a decision.

Yuan Shu, who was on the other side of the rebel alliance, handed over Luyang to Sun Jian, the Taishou of Changsha, led the army by himself, and went to Yanzhou with the official Yanzhou pastoral appointment edict and Yanzhou pastoral seal.

Along the way, Yingchuan was captured by it, and took Chen Liu, Jiyin, Shanyang Kaicheng to welcome the state pastor, Chen Liutai guarded Zhang Miao suddenly withdrew from the sour jujube, surrounded by Yuan Shu to take the Chen Liujun Zhiyongqiu, who knew that Yuan Shu ignored it at all, reflexively went to the sour jujube, with the help of Yuan Yi, became the leader of the sour jujube alliance, called himself the leader of the east alliance, and self-proclaimed left hussar general.

Call Yuan Shao the leader of the northern alliance, the general of the right hussar! ”

This is the Cao Alliance! This is the Qingjun side! It's ridiculous!

The hussar general is not set at the most critical moment, in history, the alliance leader Yuan Shao proclaimed himself a chariot general, and now the chariot and cavalry generals are alive, and the left and right chariot generals are there, you dare not offend the prestige of the other party's army, but dare to make a hussar general, or two left and right.
