Chapter 496: Give gifts to your liking
arranged Cao Jun's marriage, Cao Shuo only rested in Xudu for two days, and then was ordered to go to Hebei to marry Yuan Fang back.
Three hundred dragons rode across their horses.
Chen Zhi took Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao to stand in front of the queue.
Cao Shuo, dressed in bronze armor, rode the snow fox that Cao Cao sent him to the front of the queue.
Looking around at the dragon-patterned cavalry soldiers, he didn't say anything, just waved his hand and said, "Go!" ”
Chen Zhi then beckoned to the soldiers: "Go!" ”
Three hundred dragon-patterned horsemen followed closely behind Cao Shuo and walked towards the city gate.
The team was accompanied by a hundred and ten wagons.
Each carriage was loaded with gifts for the Yuan family.
When he came to the city gate, Cao Shuo found that many people were waiting there early.
Those who came to see him off were Cao Cao's staff and generals.
After a year of fighting, Cao Shuo has a lot of prestige in the Cao family.
Not only did the generals respect him very much, but even the arrogant staff members had already regarded him as a justifiable young master.
"I'm going to greet my relatives, and I'm bothering you to see you off!" Seeing everyone, Cao Shuo dismounted and saluted: "It really makes me panic." ”
"Childe!" Everyone returned the salute, and Guo Jia said: "Whether the Cao family and the Yuan family can be at peace for a long time is all up to the son!" We are here to see them off, in order to congratulate the son on the return of the beauty! ”
Cao Shuo laughed and said to Guo Jia and the others: "The woman who is engaged to my Cao Shuo, is it possible to let her run away?" ”
The crowd also laughed.
"Childe, going to Hebei this time is different from the last time." Xun You reminded: "The last time my son went to Hebei, his reputation was not as high as it is now. In the past few months, Gongzi has fought in the south and the north, and even helped the Sun family in Jiangdong to seize Anhui City, how can Hebei not be afraid of Gongzi? When you get there, you have to be cautious in what you say and do. ”
"Xun Gong rest assured!" Cao Shuo said: "I will go to Hebei this time, and I will definitely not disappoint you!" ”
Xun Yu asked Cao Shuo: "When the son went to Hebei, in addition to bringing gifts to Yuan Shao, did he bring anything to Miss Yuan?" ”
Cao Shuo said: "I also brought a lot of gold beads and jade......
"It is said that Miss Yuan likes to gallop on horseback since she was a child." Xun Yu said: "You have to give gifts to your liking!" ”
"Xun Gong means ......"
"Someone!" Xun Yu beckoned behind him.
An attendant approached with a tray covered only in red silk in both hands.
Xun Yu uncovered the red cloth covering the tray, and what appeared in front of Cao Shuo's eyes was a carved sandalwood bow.
"Childe!" Xun Yu said: "This bow is made of sandalwood in the wilderness, not to mention its value, but the carving process is already very exquisite, if it is given to Miss Yuan, it will definitely win the hearts of beauties." ”
"Miss Yuan's heart has long been captured by me." Cao Shuo picked up the bow and said with a smile: "If you give this bow, I'm afraid she will be noisy to marry me." ”
"That's better!" Xun Yu said: "With the son's appearance and merits, it is unreasonable for Miss Yuan to not have the heart to pour! ”
"That's exactly what Xun Gong said." Cao Shuo said: "I have the same family background as her, although the Yuan family is the fourth and third duke, our Cao family is not bad." Don't worry, I went to Hebei, and Yuan Gong will treat me like a guest! ”
"I wish Childe a smooth trip!" The crowd congratulated him.
Instructed Deng Zhan to put away the bow, Cao Shuo got on the horse and arched his hand to everyone and said, "Princes, please go back, it's not early, I should also go!" ”
The crowd did not return immediately, but watched Cao Shuo ride out of the city with the dragon pattern.
"Fengxiao, you said that Gongzi will encounter danger when he goes to Hebei this time?" When Cao Shuo walked away, Xun Yu asked Guo Jia in a low voice.
Guo Jia said with a very solemn face: "Yuan Shao has always been stubborn and self-serving, and he has never taken our Cao family seriously. Childe will not do anything if he goes this time, he is afraid that he will be afraid of his staff. ”
"It's a pity that neither of us can go with us." Xun You said: "If there is one person who can follow, he can also help Gongzi make some plans." ”
"Son-in-law went to Hebei to welcome his relatives, what are we going to do?" Guo Jia said: "Recently, Pang Shiyuan, who was recruited by Gongzi, is young, but he is also capable. Childe didn't even bring him with him on this trip, so he must have already made a plan. ”
"Although the son is smart, there are many staff members in the Yuan family, and none of them are easy to get along with." Xun You sighed: "I'm still a little worried. ”
"I don't think it's strange that others are worried, but Gongda is worried, and I think it's a little funny." Guo Jia said: "What is Childe best at, is it possible that Gongda doesn't know?" ”
"Fight on the march and break the enemy in front." Xun You said: "Every time Gongzi goes on an expedition, he can eventually play Kai. ”
"You're right, but that's not what Childe is best at." Guo Jia smiled slightly.
"What does Bong-hyo think Childe is best at?" Xun You asked in a low voice.
"Run!" Guo Jia's voice was lowered: "At the beginning of Wancheng, if it wasn't for Gongzi protecting Cao Gong, Cao Gong would have been killed. There was also the last time in Sui County, although the immortal camp was defeated, Gongzi also escaped first, and then gathered soldiers and horses to make trouble to Zhang Xiu, only to break the enemy army and finally capture Yu County. ”
"It turns out that in the eyes of Fengxiao, Gongzi is a good escaper." Xun You grinned: "If these words are heard by the son, I am afraid that he will vomit out two or three buckets of blood in annoyance." ”
"Gongda really doesn't know Childe." Guo Jia smiled: "If he listens to these words, I think he will dance happily." ”
Looking at Guo Jia, Xun You shook his head.
Although he had earlier contact with Cao Shuo than Guo Jia, in these days in Xudu, Cao Shuo and Guo Jia walked around each other more times than him.
Guo Jia knows a lot more about Cao Shuo than he does.
Cao Shuo led the team away, and everyone returned to the city one after another.
Leaving Xudu, Cao Shuo rode a snow fox, holding his head high and looking like he had won the battle.
Chen Zhi reminded: "From Xudu to Yecheng, the boundary passed on the road was once a place where yellow turbans were everywhere, some yellow turban thieves were ambushed by the Cao family and the Yuan family, and some are still occupying the mountain as kings. ”
"It's just right to meet a thief." Cao Shuo smiled at him: "I want to see how far you have trained the dragon pattern riding in the past few days." ”
"It's only been a few days, what realm can it be?" Chen Zhi said: "If you go into battle at this time, the ten dragon pattern horses are not the opponent of an immortal battalion!" ”
"You look down on them too much!" Cao Shuo turned his head and shouted to the dragon pattern cavalry soldiers: "Soldiers, your commander said that if you go into battle at this time, the ten dragon pattern cavalry are not the opponent of an immortal battalion, do you accept or not?" ”
"Not convinced!" The three hundred dragon riders shouted in unison.
"Since you're not convinced, show me something!" Chen Zhi also turned his head and glared at the soldiers: "Look at your cowardice, saying that the ten of you are not the opponents of an immortal battalion, I still think highly of you." ”
