Chapter 12: Settle the Forbidden First

In the direction of Wancheng, rows of antlers are densely arranged.

On a small hillside not far from the antlers, there stood a member of the Cao General.

His face was slightly dark, and he stood against the cold wind, like a sculpture that did not move.

The general on the hillside was none other than Yu Ban, who had led his troops to attack the Qingzhou Army.

Just as he was looking at the Cao army at the foot of the mountain to arrange the defensive line, a captain ran up.

"General, just got the news, Sun Guan sued Cao Gong fiercely!" The lieutenant clenched his fists and said to the ban.

"Sue me for what?" Yu Ban said coldly: "Do you want to sue me that the Qingzhou army attacked and harassed the people and was dispersed by me?" ”

"Cao Gong doesn't know this." The lieutenant said, "It's better for the general to go and explain to Cao Gong." ”

"Zhang Xiu is still eyeing him, if I leave at this time, the defense line is not completely arranged, in case he calls again, who will be responsible?" Yu Ban said: "In a few days, I will naturally go to Cao Gong to explain this matter!" ”

Just as he was talking to the captain, a soldier ran up: "General Qiyu, the second son asks to see!" ”

"Second son?" Yu Ban was stunned for a moment, glanced at the captain, and said as if talking to himself: "What is he doing here?" ”

"It should be Cao Gong who asked him to come." The lieutenant said, "The general still sees each other." ”

"This second son used to be a sick man." Yu Ban said with some contempt: "I don't know what happened this time, I hit a big luck and let him save Cao Gong." It seems that Cao Gong is more dependent on him, and it is really not good not to see him! ”

"Come with me to see the second son." Yu Ban greeted the captain.

The two of them, with a few soldiers, went down the hill.

Cao Shuo was already waiting under the hillside at this time.

Seeing Yu Ban coming, he hugged his fists and smiled from afar: "Cao Shuo has seen General Yu!" ”

"Second son, it's polite!" Yu Ban arched his hand: "I heard that you just escorted Cao Gong back to the army, why do you have the leisure to come to me?" ”

"What am I doing here, don't you know, General?" Cao Shuo asked.

Yu Ban said: "I really don't know why the second son came here. ”

"Since the general doesn't know, then it's not interesting for me to come." Cao Shuo arched his hand again: "Farewell!" ”

He turned to leave.

Although he had already decided to deploy a defensive line and go to see Cao Cao again, Yu Ban was not worried about Sun Guan telling him, and hurriedly said: "Second son, stay here!" ”

"What's wrong?" Cao Shuo looked back at him and asked, "Could it be that the general remembered why I came?" ”

"Is it for the Qingzhou Army?" Yu Ban asked.

"It turns out that the general knows about this." Cao Shuo said: "I came here to ask for my father, since the general knows, Sun Guan should not be lying, and he will leave first!" ”

It's good that he doesn't say that, but when he says this, Yu Ban can't let him go.

Sun Guan sued, and Yu Ban was not worried.

At most, I will go to see Cao Cao in two days, explain it in person, and then tell the Qingzhou army in turn, and the matter will be over.

If Cao Shuo ran back and said something in front of Cao Cao, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

"Second son, please stay, I haven't finished my words yet." Yu Ban said: "It is true that there is this thing when you lead troops to fight against the Qingzhou army, but there is a reason for it......"

"Attacking allies for a reason?" Cao Shuo interrupted him: "Zhang Xiu is making trouble, my father is not out of danger yet, and the general has provoked the Qingzhou army again." You must know that the Qingzhou Army was all the Yellow Turban thieves of the year, although they took refuge in the Cao family, the banditry has not retreated. If they are forced to rebel, will the general bear the blame, or will the father bear the responsibility? ”

When attacking the Qingzhou Army, Yu Ban didn't think about it so much.

Listening to Cao Shuo's words, he was suddenly shocked and covered with cold sweat.

The Qingzhou army has a large number of people, although its combat effectiveness is not as good as Cao Cao's lineage, if it really wants to make trouble, and Zhang Xiu echoes each other, it will really cause a lot of trouble.

"Gongzi ......" wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and Yu Ban said: "The Qingzhou army is troubled by the people, let them come nonsense, I am afraid it will provoke the people to revolt......"

"Which is more harmful, the popular rebellion or the rebellion?" Cao Shuo interrupted him.

Yu Ban was speechless for a while.

It is true that the popular rebellion is a big trouble, but the chaos of the people with only hoes and shovels will cause far less harm than a heavily armed army.

Cao Shuo's words woke up Yu Ban.

Yu Ban said with a stunned face: "So, I was wrong? ”

"You can't say that the general is wrong, at least not right!" Cao Shuo said: "The Qingzhou army brutalized the people, the general can threaten and intimidate, but he can't really attack!" ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." Cao Shuo said: "The general has given my father a big problem this time! punished the general, and his father connived at the rebellion of the Qingzhou army. If the general is not punished, the Qingzhou army will definitely be dissatisfied. ”

"What should I do?" Yu Ban panicked at this time, and his attitude towards Cao Shuo suddenly changed, and he hurriedly said: "Please also ask the second prince to say a few more good words for the last general in front of Cao Gong." ”

"It's useless to say a lot of good words." Cao Shuo said: "But I have a way, I can give my father a step, and I can also let General Du get rid of this trouble." ”

"Please make it clear to the second son." Yu Ban no longer had the arrogance he had at the beginning, and bowed to Cao Shuo.

"The fortifications arrange a reliable man." Glancing at the fortifications being built, Cao Shuo said: "The general will go to see my father as soon as possible, don't wait for my father to ask, first tell the Qingzhou army to cause trouble to the people, and try my best to ask my father to exterminate the Qingzhou army!" ”

"It was originally because I attacked the Qingzhou Army that caused this incident." Yu Ban was stunned: "In this way, isn't it more difficult to get along with the Qingzhou Army?" ”

"Everyone has been killed, does General Yu still want to reconcile with the Qingzhou Army?" Cao Shuo said: "The most important thing now is to give my father a step. For the general, the best result is to not pursue each other with Sun Guan and press this matter down. ”

"If it weren't for Childe's reminder, I would have almost broken a big deal." Yu Ban said: "Childe has helped a lot today, if you have something useful in the future, just ask." ”

"There will definitely be a lot of trouble for the general in the future." Cao Shuo arched his hand and said: "After this incident happened, the general did not report to his father first, there must be an explanation." I went back to present it to my father, and said that the general was preparing for the defense, so as not to chase Zhang Xiu. ”

"The second son has helped me so much, how can I leave without even eating?" Yu Ban said: "There is no good wine and food in the army, I will ask the soldiers to get some game, you and I will drink two before leaving." ”

"At that time, it was too late to go back." Cao Shuo said: "Some things are better done early than late. ”

"In that case, when I return to Xudu, I will invite my son to drink." Yu Ban returned the salute, personally stepped forward to hold the reins for Cao Shuo, and helped him onto the horse.
