Cao Shuo ordered his troops and horses early in the morning and left Shouchun.

He was followed by a standing army of 30,000.

The standing army is the main elite of Cao Shuo's operations, and every soldier is in good spirits.

After a few days of idleness, there was finally another battle to fight, and all of those who had become accustomed to and adapted to the battlefield had bright eyes, as if they were looking forward to the war coming soon.

The generals selected by Cao Shuo, in addition to Lu Bu, of course, Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun.

The three fierce generals surrounded him, and Guo Jia also followed Cao Shuo's side.

"Fengxiao, what is the difference between following me on the expedition this time and following my father?" Cao Shuo asked him.

"It's no different, it's just a little smaller." Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong went out on the expedition, and it was not lively to hug him before and after, but Gongzi only brought three main generals, I don't know if he was overconfident or ......."

He didn't say any more, just smiled and shook his head.

"Which of the three generals is not a 10,000-strong enemy?" Glancing at Lu Bu and the others, Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I only bring three generals, it is enough to attack high-ranking cadres, why do you lead so many soldiers and horses?" ”

"Gao Gan has been entrenched in the state for many years, and the son can't be too underestimated." Guo Jia asked Cao Shuo: "Dare to ask Gongzi, do you plan to take the state into your pocket this time?" ”

"I'd like to take it." Cao Shuo said: "The key is whether my father is willing to give it to me." ”

"I'm afraid not." Guo Jia said: "Gong Cao thinks that the power under Gongzi is strong enough, if he merges the state to Gongzi again......"

"Since my father doesn't give it, I can't rob it?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly, lowered his voice and said to Guo Jia: "I can get it by exchanging a merger for filial piety." ”

"I'm afraid Cao Gong won't agree." Guo Jia smiled slightly, and said to Cao Shuo: "If the Cao Guild wants it, I, he will also let him go back to Yecheng." ”

"Do you want to go back?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Yes, of course." Guo Jia said: "I am Cao Gong's staff, always under the command of Gongzi, and I also provoke others to gossip. ”

"Now that the gossip has been said, let's just let them talk more." Cao Shuo said: "After the fight and the state, I will go to my father to ask for filial piety." ”

"Childe plans to go to Yecheng to see Cao Gong?" Guo Jia asked.

"We'll talk about it then." Cao Shuo replied: "Things haven't come to that point, it's too early for me to say anything." ”

From Cao Shuo's expression, Guo Jia judged that he would definitely not go to Yecheng.

Leaving Guo Jia, he must have thought of other ways.

As for what the method, Guo Jia can't say it yet.

Although people are called ghosts, at least the other party has to follow the routine, but this son of the Cao family has no routine at all, and he will not follow the rules at all.

Lu Bu next to him asked Cao Shuo: "Gongzi entered the state this time, who do you plan to make a pioneer?" ”

Looking at Lu Bu, Cao Shuo asked: "General Lu is the vanguard, how sure are you that he can defeat Gao Gan in one battle?" ”

"Gao Gan is just a yellow-mouthed kid." Lu Bu said: "It's easy to kill him. ”

"General Lu has such confidence, of course the vanguard of the attack on the state will be handed over to you." He grinned and said to Lu Bu: "Give you three thousand soldiers and horses, and march twenty miles in front of the army, not too close, not too far." ”

"Thank you, Childe." Lu Bu received the military order.

Since following Cao Shuo, Lu Bu's life has been stable, but he has never neglected martial arts.

The army passed through Yanzhou and Jizhou, and did not stop at Yecheng, but bypassed Yecheng and went straight to Bingzhou.

Bingzhou is located in the west and is connected to Youzhou.

After many days passed, the army came to the border of Bingzhou, and Cao Shuo said: "Gao Gan will really choose the time to rebel, if he rebels when I was in Youzhou, the army can go straight to Bingzhou and destroy him." It took so long to rebel, and he had to trouble me to run a long way to destroy him, what a master who would make trouble for people. ”

When he said these words, Cao Shuo seemed to be chatting about family life.

Lu Bu and the others were used to his way of speaking, and they didn't feel anything, but Guo Jia's heart was churning.

Only after returning to Haixi, Cao Shuo ordered the massacre of the Qian.

He had never had any holiday with the Qiang people, and he actually gave such an order, Guo Jia was also very puzzled when he learned about it.

He did not ask Cao Shuo for a reason.

Because he knew that no matter how he asked, Cao Shuo could give enough reasons to convince him.

There is no difference between asking and not asking.

But deep in Guo Jia's heart, Cao Shuo is bloodthirsty, although he is very good to the people, but he never leaves a trace of back against the hostile.

Unless the person is still useful to him......

"Fengxiao, how do you think we can break through the state as soon as possible?" Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia.

"Childe has already made arrangements, why do you still ask me?" Guo Jia asked rhetorically.

"When did I make the deployment?" Cao Shuo asked pretending to be puzzled.

"Soon after leaving Shouchun, Gongzi let General Lu enter Bingzhou as a vanguard." Guo Jia said: "The distance between the army and the vanguard is only twenty miles. At this distance, if it were an ordinary vanguard, I am afraid that it would have been annihilated by the enemy. However, General Lu led the elite under Gongzi's command. Even if the senior cadres mobilized tens of thousands of troops, it would be impossible to wipe out the vanguard in one day. In just one day, Childe will definitely be able to lead a large army to arrive, and the battle of Bingzhou will be over. ”

"Even if what Feng Xiao said makes sense." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "If Gao Gan doesn't come to attack General Lu, what should I do?" ”

"That's better." Guo Jia said: "What Gongzi has to do is just besiege the city. There are Youzhou in the north, Yanzhou and Jizhou in the south, and there is definitely no shortage of military rations. And Gao Gan was besieged by Gongzi, and if he lasted for a year and a half at most, he would definitely be defeated and the city would be broken. Whether he fights or not, this battle is already won. ”

"Or Fengxiao understands me." Cao Shuo said: "When we finish fighting and merging states, you have to accompany me to Beihai." ”

"Cao Gong didn't agree, so I will accompany my son to Beihai without permission, I'm afraid it will be ......" Guo Jia said: "This is not appropriate, right?" ”

"Father will say yes." Cao Shuo grinned at Guo Jia: "I didn't plan to let you see him." ”

Guo Jia was suddenly full of black lines.

As long as he doesn't return to Yecheng, Cao Cao has no chance to keep people.

Last time, Xun Yu was going to see him in Haixi, but he was stopped outside the door, and Guo Jia was clear.

But at that time, Zhu Ao stayed aside, didn't let him leave for half a step, and wanted to go out to see Xun Yu, but Guo Jia couldn't find a reason......

It seems that Cao Shuo has no intention of letting him return to Cao Cao's side.

"General Lu." Cao Shuo shouted to Lu Bu on the side: "Our army has entered Bingzhou, you can lead three thousand soldiers first." ”

Lu Bu answered, selected three thousand soldiers, and left first.

Seeing the soldiers led by Lu Bu leaving, Cao Shuo instructed Chen Zhi: "Send scouts to keep a distance of twenty miles from General Lu at all times." ”
