"I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Gongda is good, hahahaha~~~~~~" As soon as Cao Cao entered the city, he saw Xun Yu standing on one side, dressed in Confucian clothes, the whole person was elegant and Fengyong, and the biggest difference with Xun Yu was that this person was more stable, more introverted, his eyes were as deep as water, and he was not easy to confide in his heart.

"If you want to make friends with this person, it seems that it will take a lot more effort" Cao Cao thought to himself, but on the surface he was still as enthusiastic as an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Hehe~~~~ Brother Meng De is another great achievement this time, what is the result of this battle?" Xun You smiled slightly, and his performance was also downright and generous, which was the demeanor that the head of a clan should have.

Cao Cao led the generals to walk inside, and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go in and talk about it, this is late at night, this city gate is not a good place to talk about family life."

Xun You nodded, and followed Cao Cao and the others back to the City Lord's Mansion.

At this time, in the city lord's mansion, there were no more Yellow Turban soldiers, and the guards were replaced by the guards of the Xun family, and their mental outlook looked different.

Entering the mansion, Cao Cao sat on the throne after giving in again, after all, as the highest general in the city at this time, this acting city lord still has Cao Cao to do.

"If you don't have Gongda's help this time, how can you break the Bocai dog thief so easily, Brother Gongda should remember the first merit" After everyone sat down, Cao Cao took the lead in proposing a reward for meritorious deeds, and the first merit of this battle should be Xun Yu Xun Gongda, who was hiding in the thief and secretly plotting.

The generals of the Cao family except Cao Hong also stayed in Dazhai, and the rest of the people were all here, Cao Ren and Cao Chun were the most powerful generals of the Cao family, and they were also applauded when they heard Cao Cao's words.

"Yes, Brother Gongda was first committed to the thief in this battle, and then he used a clever trick to lure the snake out of the hole and seize Linying, this kind of military exploits, I'm afraid it's not too much to seal a Zhonglang general, I will wait to report to the court, and call Brother Gongda to rank in the court as soon as possible" Cao Ren smiled and nodded yes.

Xun You smiled slightly, waved his hand and said, "Such a small achievement, how can you talk about rewarding, besides, if you are not here, then if you don't go to the court, Brother Meng De must not report me up~~~."

"It turns out that Gongda is unwilling to be an official again, since this is the case, I will think about it again, but after all, this battle Gongda is the first merit, even if the court does not reward it, I Cao Cao can not forget, it is better to do this, I will now form an alliance with Gongda on behalf of the Cao family, your Xun family no matter others, my Cao family will definitely treat it as the Xun family, if this is not true, I Cao Cao will thunder and split."

"Mengde~~~~" Xun You suddenly heard this, a warm current in his heart, and suddenly felt that his life's wish had been repaid, his eyes were unconsciously slightly ruddy, he opened his mouth and screamed twice, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned around to cover up.

After a while, his mood calmed down a little, and he came back to his senses and sighed, "Meng De is serious? ”。

"What I Cao Cao said, I never regret it, even if someone in my clan violates it in the future, I should also judge it, and I will not spare it" Cao Cao said with a straight face, calmly and relaxedly, this person seems to pay great attention to the identity of the inner and outer clans, this step is too correct, Cao Cao was extremely excited at this time, he didn't expect that his unintentional move would make the head of the Xun family intersect with his heart, which is really a rare surprise.

Xun You swept away his depression, got up and slowly came to Cao Cao's side, and gave a deep salute, "I am not talented, I can be so valued by Meng De, I will now agree with Meng De as the head of the Xun family, if there is a need in the future, my branch will definitely help each other, and I will repay each other with death, all by Meng De's dispatch."

"This~~~~ Gongda, how does this make ~~~~ come and come~~~ You sit down first, let's talk slowly" Cao Cao never expected that he had no intention of accepting a family's promise.

This is not an ordinary promise, to repay each other with death, without resignation, let it be sent, the head of the clan made this promise, that is, his entire family has surrendered to himself, this is the relationship between the monarch and the minister, the subordinate relationship, has surpassed the general cooperation, and the foreign clan in charge of this Xun You, although not stronger than the strength of the inner clan, but also one of the branches of the eight families, its strength should not be underestimated, now Cao Cao has no surprise just now, only shock.

Xun You didn't have too much politeness, sat down and said slowly, "Mengde don't be polite, what does my promise just now represent, I know in my heart, my Xun family is different from other families, the inner clan is the inner clan, the foreign clan is the foreign clan, it doesn't matter, as the head of a clan, the promise I made can represent the entire family."

Seeing Xun You say this, Cao Cao also let go of his state of mind, pondered for a while and nodded in response, "Since Gongda has made up his mind, I, Cao Cao, will not be verbose, I will treat the people in your clan well, and Gongda, I Cao Cao will only treat each other as friends, and there is no subordinate relationship between you and me" said with his hands on Xun You's shoulders, and his eyes looked at him firmly.

"Okay, Meng De is really a hero, I'm not welcome, come, let's talk about business first" Xun You laughed heartily, turned around and sat back in place and shouted.

Just when Cao Cao was happy, suddenly someone outside reported that "Report to the general, there is a group of yellow turban thieves outside the city who want to see the general, I don't know how to deal with it?" ”。

"Huh?" Cao Cao was suspicious, looked at everyone and asked, "How many people are there?" ”。

"I can't see it clearly, but it looks like it's less than two thousand, and there are a few generals at the head, who have been shouting loudly~~~" The guard replied without hesitation, it was dark at this time, and although there were torches outside the city, they were far away, and they couldn't count how many people there were.

Xun You smiled slightly, and said to Cao Cao, "Hehehehe~~~~ It seems that Meng De is lucky today, this good thing is one after another, this group of people must be the three people who stole the camp earlier, this is afraid of going back to eat the sin, so I came to you."

Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this, "Oh, if this is the case, this is the credit of Gongda, bring me the leader in, and the rest will stay outside the city for a while."

The guards were not allowed to go down, and brought in three people, only to see that the three of them were covered with dirt, their faces were full of dust, their leather armor had been cracked, and there were many wounds on their bodies, large and small, and some of them were still glowing with blood.

Sure enough, as Xun You expected, the three who came were the three people who had stolen the camp before, led by Bian Xi, Liu Xue and Gong both followed behind, and they didn't dare to raise their heads, but they followed in.

"The general of the defeated army has seen General Cao, and he has come to surrender this time, and I hope the general will accept it," Bian Xi didn't wait for anyone to ask, and said first.

"Oh? The three of you are going to surrender to this general, what is your name, report it" Cao Cao sat in the first place, his eyes were fixed on the actions of the three of them, as long as there was a slight change, he would immediately send a person to kill in front of the hall.

"The last general is called Bian Xi, these two are the same as me in the Yellow Turban Sacrifice Wine, one is called Liu Xue, the other is called Gong Du, this battle General Cao is convinced, and the three of us are willing to serve the general."

Cao Cao looked at Bian Xi in front of him, this person spoke in an orderly manner, he should have read a book, although the two behind him were silent, but their expressions were dim, there was no abnormality at all, it seemed that they were beaten and disheartened, and the three of them did not look like they were deceitful, and looked at Xun Yu on the side.

Xun You saw Cao Cao looking over, nodded with a slight smile and said, "I know all three of them, General Bian Xi can be regarded as a strategic, can be regarded as a rare good general, although the second general Liu Xue and Gong Du have a rough temper, but they are also loyal and honest, since they are willing to surrender, Meng De might as well stay and be a general, this is the time to employ people, the three of them can still come in handy."

When Bian Xi heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Thank you for the kind words of the military advisor, my subordinates will definitely serve to the death."

"Okay, I'll take you and the others for the time being, but I have to observe for a while, if there are two hearts, I will not spare it, you all understand?" Cao Cao's expression was straight, and suddenly a momentum overwhelmed, shocking the three of them to hurriedly fall to the ground to obey the order.

Xun You on the side saw it in his eyes, and said secretly in his heart, "Cao Cao, this person seems to be indeed extraordinary, this momentum is not something that ordinary people can easily practice, even if it is a person with superb skills, it is not easy to have this majesty, I really didn't see the wrong person."

Xun You didn't know what Cao Cao thought in his heart, but the three people in front of him had already surrendered to the ground in shock, nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "You are tired of waiting, go down and rest, I will ask people to rectify the soldiers outside the city, you just hand over the token."

How dare the three of them say more, hurriedly handed over the token and was taken down, the generals of the Cao family in the hall showed a satisfied smile at this time, this night's hard work was not in vain, not only got the full support of the Xun family's foreign clans, but also subdued the three generals, although the level of the three is limited, but they are also experienced in a hundred battles, and a little exercise can still be useful.

When Cao Hong had not yet returned and could not count the results, Cao Cao had to arrange for everyone to rest first and make a final decision tomorrow.

At this time, Bocai only took a few lieutenants and fled to the direction of Xuchang, he didn't dare to go to Fanchang to find out, the two cities were only forty or fifty miles apart, there was no reason for people to take Linying and not take Fanchang, so Bocai rushed to surround Xuchang's army overnight, where there were still his own 50,000 troops, regrouped, may not have the power to counterattack.

Early the next morning, Cao Hong and Xun Yu finally returned to Linying with a group of soldiers, and after a night of fighting, the final statistics were very gratifying.

Bian Xi and other three people, each with 3,000 people, excluding those who died in battle and escaped, were captured more than 4,000 people, plus the 2,000 soldiers brought by the three generals later, the Yellow Turban prisoners alone reached more than 6,000 people.

Linying City is the main city where Bocai sits, the grain and grass are sufficient, and under the inventory, the grain and grass are not less than a thousand stones, which not only solves the dilemma of Cao's army's short grain, but also does not fear that the number of Yellow Turban soldiers has skyrocketed.

At this time, Xun Yu brought back good news that Bocai did not flee to Fanchang, but went to Xuchang.

"Hahahaha~~~ God help me, the 50,000 horses in Xuchang are also going to die in the hands of this waste" Cao Cao laughed out loud after hearing the news.
