Chapter 273: It Felt Strange a Few Months Ago
Cao Shuo attacked Yuliangzhou and took away the 500 elite soldiers allocated to him by Cai Mao.
Cai Mao got the news and felt a burst of chagrin in her heart.
Destroying Yuliang Zhou is not a bad thing for him.
He was annoyed that after breaking through Yuliang Continent, Cao Shuo actually didn't return the soldiers to him, but took them away.
was annoyed, and Wei Shiyu reported: "General, Mrs. Cai is here!" ”
Mrs. Cai rarely goes out, but she suddenly visits, which surprises Cai Mao a lot.
They hurried to the door and asked the guard, "Where is Madame?" ”
"It's already in the backyard." The guard replied.
Mrs. Cai had already arrived in the backyard, how dare Cai Mao slack off, and hurriedly took the guards to greet her.
He had not gone far when he saw Mrs. Cai and another woman leading a little girl, accompanied by several guards, walking this way.
"Cai Mao has seen Madame." Cai Mao hurriedly clasped her fists and bowed.
"It's all my own family, so I don't have to see outside." Mrs. Cai said: "I came today, first, our sister and brother and sister have not been together for a long time to talk to you. Another thing is for Cao Zirong. ”
"Cao Zirong has already broken through Yuliangzhou and returned to Xudu." Cai Mao said.
"Not only do I know that he broke through Yuliang Continent, but I also know that he took away your five hundred elite soldiers." Mrs. Cai said lightly.
"I thought he would return the soldiers, but I didn't think he would take them away." Cai Mao said with an angry face: "I have also seen many people, but I have never seen Cao Zirong so shameless. ”
Mrs. Cai didn't say anything, the woman beside her smiled lightly and said, "Brother, don't be upset, since you lent troops to Cao Zirong, I know that he will definitely not return it." ”
It was Mrs. Huang Chengyan who spoke.
Cai Mao asked, "How does the little sister know that Cao Zirong will not return the soldiers and horses?" ”
"Brother is on Cao Zirong's way." The woman said, "Cao Zirong did not come to Xiangyang this time to destroy Yuliangzhou, but to take the assassins there for his own use. But the assassin of Yuliangzhou was not familiar with him, and he was not very relieved when he had recently taken refuge. With his brother's soldiers, he can also control the assassins. ”
"What a Cao Zirong!" Cai Mao said: "It's not enough to come to Xiangyang if you are bold, you still deliberately deceive my soldiers!" ”
"What's the use of saying that?" Mrs. Cai said: "It's okay if your soldiers don't come back, when Jingsheng Gong asks about it in the future, you just have to bite it and not admit it." ”
"Madame is talking about ......," Cai Mao responded.
"When I came to your house, what else was my name?" Mrs. Cai said, "Just call my sister." ”
"Yes, sister!" Cai Mao responded.
"Yueying, call uncle!" The woman on the side pushed the little girl she was holding forward.
The little girl was only about five or six years old, and she was born crystal clear, and she knew at a glance that she would grow up to be a beautiful embryo.
She raised her little face and called Cai Mao crisply: "Uncle! ”
"Yueying is so good!" Cai Mao stepped forward and hugged her, pinched her little face and said, "I saw her in swaddling clothes last time, and now she has grown so big." In a few years, it will be time to talk about the in-laws. ”
"When Yueying grows up, she won't have to bother her uncle?" Huang Yueying's mother said with a smile.
"Well said! I'll definitely find her a good mother-in-law! Cai Mao stepped aside and said to Mrs. Cai's sisters: "Sisters, there is nothing to entertain when they come to me, so I will have a light meal here today." ”
Mrs. Cai's sisters walked straight forward, while Cai Mao held Huang Yueying by her side.
caused a lot of trouble for Cai Mao, and Cao Shuo led the team back to Xudu in a day.
The soldiers and horses borrowed from Cai Mao were still wearing Jingzhou military uniforms.
Because of this, Cao Shuo was interrogated by checkpoints along the way.
When they arrived at the gate of Xudu, Cao Shuo found that the city gate was actually closed, and it was only at the head of the city that Cao Jun opened his bow and aimed at them.
He instructed Chen Wu: "Tell the defenders that I have returned!" ”
Chen Wuce immediately stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Brothers at the head of the city, listen, we are under the command of the second son, and we have only returned from Xiangyang. ”
has been following Cao Shuo for a long time, and Chen Wu is also well-known among Cao Jun.
Cao Jun at the head of the city recognized him and hurriedly reported to the general defending the city.
It was Li Dian who was on duty, and when he heard that Cao Shuo was back, he hurriedly went to the city.
Signaling the soldiers to put down their longbows, Li Dian held on to the battlements and asked, "Where is the son?" ”
"I've seen General Lee!" Chen Wu arched his hand, and then pointed to Cao Shuo: "Childe is behind." ”
"Open the gates!" Chen Wu was the person next to Cao Shuo, and there were only hundreds of people outside the city, Li Dian was not worried about how the Jingzhou army dared to enter the city, he gave orders to the junior colonel beside him.
The Colonel answered, and then ran down the wall.
In just a moment, the gate of Xudu City opened.
Cao Shuo led the team to the city gate.
Seeing from afar that it was Cao Shuo coming, Li Dian walked down the city wall.
Standing in front of the city gate, when Cao Shuo entered the city, Li Dian arched his hand and asked, "Where has Gongzi been these days?" ”
"I went to Xiangyang." Cao Shuo said: "I was about to report this to my father. ”
"Gongzi helped Lu Bu break Yuan Shu, and then disappeared, Cao Gong is very worried these days." Li Dian said: "It's better to go back quickly, don't let Cao Gong wait in a hurry." ”
"Thank you for the reminder!" Cao Shuo arched his hand and said, "I'll go back to my father first, and then talk to the general when I have a chance." ”
"Childe go slowly!" Li Dian clenched his fists and watched Cao Shuo take people away.
The little colonel who followed him said in confusion after Cao Shuo walked away: "When the prince left Xudu, he only brought more than ten people, how could there be nearly a thousand when he came back?" ”
"If it had been a few months earlier, I would have been as confused as you are." Li Dian said: "Now don't say that Gongzi brought back nearly a thousand people, even if he brings back tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, I don't think it's strange." ”
"Childe is so capable?" The little colonel asked in disbelief.
"What do you think of Childe's soldiers?" Li Dian asked.
The little colonel pursed his lips: "To be honest, it's not like that." ”
"How?" Li Dian asked, "Where is it not in your eyes?" ”
"Military discipline is sloppy, and I have seen Childe's soldiers more than once in the tavern in the city." The little colonel said: "There are also those streets that have just risen in the west of the city, and many taverns are actually managed by Sima Yi secretly. The soldiers under the command of Childe go there, and the price is much cheaper than others, and even choosing a few beauties to accompany the wine will cost a lot less than us. ”
"You've been there too?" Li Dian asked.
Knowing that he had missed his mouth, the little colonel hurriedly clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "General Mingjian, I have been there once, and I will never dare to ...... again."
"Childe can let Sima Yi open a tavern, and you can go." Li Dian said: "It's best to walk around more with Gongzi's subordinates, so that you can spend less money." ”
"General......" Li Dian's statement made the little colonel look confused.
"Man!" Li Dian said: "As long as you don't delay military affairs, go and go!" ”
