Cao Shuo successively received Yan Liangwen Chou and Ju Yi in Baima.

The army rested for three days in the city of Whitehorse.

The soldiers had a good vacation.

The streets were full of Cao Shuo's soldiers.

Some of them linger in wine shops, while others go directly into private houses to find friends.

At the head of the city, Liu Yan looked at the scene in the city without saying a word.

"General, isn't Childe's soldiers a little too much?" The lieutenant beside him said: "If this trouble continues, the white horse will be in a miasma." ”

"Do you have an opinion?" Liu Yan asked.

"Don't dare!" The lieutenant replied: "I just want to ask the general, we really don't care?" ”

"Tube?" Liu Yan asked, "What do you use?" When did Childe's soldiers serve others? Someone else took care of his soldiers, and the son would give up? ”

"Take care of you, just don't get me in trouble." Liu Yan pursed his lips and turned around and walked to the other side of the city wall.

The lieutenant is full of black lines.

Ever since Cao Shuo led his troops into the city, the white horse has become their backyard.

When there was no war, Cao Shuo's soldiers were assigned to wander around the city.

Only a few of the women in the city were not harmed, and most of them were half-pushed and half-obedient to these big-headed soldiers.

Glancing at the city again, the captain came to Liu Yan's side.

"I'll tell you." Liu Yan said: "Don't say that Gongzi's soldiers can still maintain restraint until now, even if they really make trouble and plague the white horse like locusts, it is not something you and I can manage." ”

The lieutenant lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, even Liu Yan didn't dare to care about things, of course he wouldn't talk much.

It only took three days for the first camp to get acquainted with the soldiers under Cao Shuo's command.

Ju Yi wanted to take care of them at first.

But he couldn't stand the persuasion of other generals, so he had to give up in the end.

Three days passed quickly.

The soldiers who were completely relaxed packed up and left the white horse under the leadership of Cao Shuo.

What Liu Yan and his soldiers didn't understand was that Cao Shuo's soldiers could be said to have done a lot of things that were inconspicuous in Baima, but when they left, the people in the city were in the middle of the road to see them off.

Leaving White Horse City, Sima Yi glanced back and said to Cao Shuo: "Gongzi didn't see Liu Yan's face, our army went out of the city, and he seemed to send away the plague god." ”

"Aren't the soldiers too loose in the past three days?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Probably." Sima Yi said: "He should be even more strange, why Gongzi's soldiers are running around in the city, messing around with women, but there are still people in the middle of the road to see them off." ”

"If he understands this, he is Cao Zirong, and I am Liu Yan!" Cao Shuo grinned and said to Sima Yi: "When I see my father, I have to let the soldiers restrain a little." Although others can't control me, my father can. ”

"Childe, rest assured, the soldiers are measured." Sima Yi responded, and then shouted to the army behind him: "I have heard it clearly, when I see Cao Gong, everyone is more restrained." Don't embarrass your son! ”

"Roar!" The soldiers raised their weapons in unison and let out a shout.

The news of Cao Shuo's departure from the White Horse reached Cao Cao's ears the next day.

In the barracks, Cao Cao and Guo Jia were strolling.

"Yuan Shao is entrenched in Liyang, and there has been no movement until now, what does he want to do?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"I think Yuan Shao should be waiting for an opportunity." Guo Jia said: "He is waiting for our army to slack, and then the army will go out to fight a decisive battle with our army." ”

"If it's too early, I'm sure I won't be able to get him." Cao Cao said: "Even if we add the soldiers and horses under Zirong's command, we still suffer a big loss in numbers. ”

"That's it." Guo Jia said: "Duke Cao can give an order to let the soldiers refuse to defend the Yellow River and not give Yuan's army a chance to cross the river. ”

"What's going on over there in Qingzhou?" Yuan Shao asked.

"Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others led the army into Qingzhou and entangled Yuan Tan, and there will be no soldiers and horses over there for the time being." Guo Jia said: "Zang Ba even captured the city one after another, and Yuan Tan also fought very hard. ”

"I didn't expect them to do a great job for me." Cao Cao smiled slightly.

"But Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "The scout reported that Jiangdong Sun Ce would make a move. ”

"I've heard that." Cao Cao asked, "What do you think Sun Ce will do?" ”

"He should take advantage of the fact that Cao Gong's energy is in Hebei and attack the Cao family from behind." Guo Jia said: "If Sun Ce is allowed to succeed, as long as he gains a firm foothold on the north bank of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that the war between us and the Yuan family will also be affected." ”

"If Sun Ce really did that, what do you think I should do?" Cao Cao asked.

"With Cao Gong's current soldiers and horses, it is still possible to stop the Yuan family." Guo Jia said: "The most important thing is that the backyard cannot catch fire......

"Bonghyo is trying to ......"

"The eldest son is sitting in Huainan, Xuzhou and other places are adjacent to Jiangdong, if Sun Ce enters the army, he will also go to Xuzhou, Lujiang and other places first." Guo Jia said: "If that's really the case, Cao Gong might as well let the eldest son go back." ”

"I'm relieved that Zirong will go back." Cao Cao nodded, and then said: "Sun Ce's ability is not small, although I don't doubt that Zi Rong can defeat him, but I am not sure how long they will fight. ”

"Xuzhou and other places are the territories of the eldest son." Guo Jia said: "Childe can still move forward with his troops, and if he starts a war in his territory, I believe that Childe will be able to quickly repel the Jiangdong soldiers and horses." ”

"I hope it's what you say." Cao Cao said: "It is said that Zirong has left the White Horse and will be here tomorrow at the latest. ”

"Childe has been stationed in Hakuba for a long time." Guo Jia said: "If he withdraws, I'm afraid Liu Yan will breathe a sigh of relief." ”

Cao Cao smiled: "Feng Xiao didn't mention Liu Yan, but I didn't expect it." Previously, Liu Yan had sent someone to send me a letter, saying that Zirong's soldiers were fooling around in Baima. ”

"Liu Yan still dares to do such a thing?" Guo Jia said: "Could it be that he doesn't know that the eldest son treats soldiers with a loose outside and tight inside?" ”

"Liu Yan is not Fengxiao after all, how can he see through those things." Cao Cao said: "Zirong has his own way of leading his soldiers, but when he arrives here, Feng Xiao still has to remind him not to let his soldiers be too casual." After all, not everyone in the army can understand his approach. ”

"Gong Cao didn't remind me, but pushed the matter to me, asking me to offend the eldest son." Guo Jia said: "When I remind me, I don't know how the eldest son will hate me." ”

"You are his brother-in-law, and he still dares to hold a grudge against you?" Cao Cao smiled: "There are not many people who can be eye-catching by Zirong, and you are one of them." ”

"Since Gong Cao praises me so much, it's not good for me not to offend the eldest son." Guo Jia smiled: "Leave this matter to me." ”

Gently patting him on the shoulder, Cao Cao said: "Although Zirong has been exposed, after all, he is still young, when you talk about him, don't forget to wake him up more." ”
