After the court discussion, Cheng Yu accompanied Cao Shuo to his residence.

Entering the small courtyard, Cheng Yu asked, "Can the son still live in Xuzhou?" ”

"Habit." Cao Shuo said: "I still have to live in Xuzhou for a few days, maybe I have to accompany General Lu to Huainan for a walk, and I am afraid that I will have to spend some time when I return to Xudu." ”

"How did Childe know that Lu Bu would definitely be able to repel Yuan Shu?" Cheng Yu said: "In my opinion, the son should return to Xu Du earlier......"

"That's not going to work!" Cao Shuo said: "If I leave, what if General Lu repents?" Chen Gong doesn't have a good impression of his father, no one is guarding here, maybe he will change his mind again. ”

"It is precisely because of Lu Bu's capriciousness that Childe should be careful!" Cheng Yu said: "Gong Cao asked me to bring a message to my son, and when I found that the situation was wrong, I left Xuzhou immediately, and I definitely didn't have any nostalgia." ”

Cao Cao deliberately asked Cheng Yu to speak, and Cao Shuo was also a little moved in his heart.

Although the soul that supports this body is from two thousand years later.

But people's hearts are full of flesh.

Cao Cao was concerned about him, and of course he would not be indifferent.

"Please tell my father not to worry." Cao Shuo said: "Xuzhou is under control, I can handle it!" ”

"Childe be careful!" Cheng Yu repeatedly advised.

Cheng Yu did not stay in Xuzhou, and early the next morning, he said goodbye to Lu Bu and Cao Shuo and returned to Xudu.

If Yuan Shu is offended, there will be a large army coming to the city at any time, and Lu Bu will not dare to slack off.

After Cheng Yu left, he took Cao Shuo and a group of generals to the city.

Looking out of the city, Lu Bu asked everyone, "If Yuan Shu's army really comes to the city, how can we stop them for a longer time?" ”

"General!" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses haven't set off yet, why do you want to defend the city instead of taking the initiative to attack?" ”

"There are only 3,000 people in Xuzhou, and if Yuan Shu comes, it will cost tens of thousands of people." Lu Bu asked, "How to fight?" ”

"Didn't I say yesterday that I would see how Yuan Shu moved, and then I would do some calculations." Cao Shuo said: "If he really uses Yang Feng and Han Xian, the general will already win this battle." If he doesn't use the two, the general can give me a thousand soldiers and horses, and I will keep the enemy! ”

"I know Zirong's ability." Lu Bu said: "However, a thousand against tens of thousands, even if Zirong is a god, it is difficult to do it. ”

"As long as you want to do it, there's nothing you can't do." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Otherwise, how dare I be the general's son-in-law?" ”

Cao Shuo regarded himself as Lu Bu's son-in-law, and Lu Bu's heart was suddenly refreshed.

Gently patting his arm, Lu Bu said, "It's better to be humble in the future!" Yuan Shu is not a straw bag, and the tens of thousands of troops are not tied with straw. ”

"What is Yuan Shu?" Cao Shuo said: "In terms of martial arts, the general can crush ten Yuan Shu with one finger!" In terms of strategy, he arrogated to be the emperor, and he was killing himself. Stupid to this point, not to mention the general, even I am much better than him. Not to mention heroism and great physique, how can he compare to a general? With the general here, isn't he just a bunch of straw bales? ”

Cao Shuo made a sycophant and slapped Lu Bu all over his body.

He looked up and smiled, and said to Cao Shuo: "Zirong, you! ”

Lu Bu didn't say anything more.

But the smile on his face already showed that he was indeed very happy at this time!

Yuan Shu decided to crusade against Lü Bu, transferred 20,000 soldiers and horses from Huainan, led by Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui, and joined 30,000 soldiers and horses under Yang Feng and Han Xian, with a total of 50,000 troops advancing to Xuzhou.

A few days later, Yuan Shu's army drove to Xuzhou, and the news reached the city, and there was chaos inside and outside Xuzhou.

The people dragged their children and girls to escape from Xuzhou for refuge, but the soldiers defending the city blocked them at the gate of the city, and the scene was chaotic and difficult to control for a while.

Cao Shuo took Chen Wu, Liu Shuang and others and walked on the streets of the city.

Everywhere there were panicked people, men and women dragging children and carrying old people to the city gates.

"When war comes, the first people to suffer." Cao Shuo said: "But they don't know that if this chaos continues, not only will they not be able to get out of the city, but they may also have their heads cut off." ”

As soon as the words fell, Cao Shuo and the others heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them.

He looked back and saw one of the generals leading his soldiers to the city gate.

The general's face was solemn, and there was murderous intent between his eyebrows.

Cao Shuo recognized him as Gao Shun, the leader of the trapping camp.

Gao Shun is good at training, and there are only 700 people in the camp, but he has repeatedly made military exploits and is invincible.

However, there is a problem with this man.

He is too wooden, he doesn't know how to be flexible, and he will only follow Lu Bu's military orders.

Seeing Gao Shun, Cao Shuo said to Chen Wu and Liu Shuang beside him: "The murderer is here!" ”

"The people just want to live, and they want to die?" Liu Shuang said with a frown.

"But they made Xuzhou chaotic." Cao Shuo said: "At this time, what I am most afraid of is not that the enemy soldiers are approaching the city, but that the city is in turmoil. The soldiers still had the will to fight, but the people were in chaos, and their fighting spirit was unstable, so they lost before they could fight! ”

"I won't kill all the people in the city......" Liu Shuang was a little unbearable.

Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and when Gao Shun came closer, he strode to the middle of the road, blocking the way of this team of Lu Bujun.

"General Gao, why are you going?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Chaos in the city." Cao Shun said: "General Zuo has an order for me to lead troops to suppress it. ”

"Suppression, that is, to kill people?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"If you don't kill a few people, how can you make them stop?" Gao Shun said: "Military affairs are in place, please step back from the son." ”

"Can the general wait for military service?" Cao Shuo asked.

"What is Childe going to do?" Gao Shun's brows furrowed slightly.

Pointing towards the chaotic crowd, Cao Shuo said, "General, how many of those people are strong men?" Most of them are old and weak women and children, and the general really can't bear to kill them? ”

"The military order is like a mountain, no matter how unbearable you are, you have to kill!" Gao Shun replied without hesitation.

"If I have a way to calm them down, will the general still kill them?" Cao Shuo asked.

Gao Shun was stunned: "But General Zuo has already ordered ......"

"Then wait for me to see General Zuo!" Cao Shuo said: "Please also ask the general to suspend the execution of military orders!" ”

Gao Shun thought for a moment and said to Cao Shuo: "Son, don't wait too long, General Zuo is to blame, I can't afford it!" ”

"General Gao, don't worry, I will definitely convince General Zuo!" Cao Shuo arched his hand and took Chen Wu and Liu Shuang to find Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was not at home at this time.

He was selecting soldiers in the barracks, ready for the upcoming battle.

After living in Xuzhou for a few days, almost no one under Lu Bu's command did not know Cao Shuo, and they all knew that he would be Lu Bu's son-in-law in the future.

When he came to the Xuzhou military camp, Cao Shuo asked the soldiers guarding the gate, "Is General Lu here?" ”

"The general is here early in the morning." The soldier replied, "I should be on the school grounds." ”

Cao Shuo nodded and took Chen Wu, Liu Shuang and a few guards into the barracks.
