Guandu is an important place, a place where soldiers must fight, and Yang Xiu was relieved to hear Cao Zhi say that Sikong would garrison the soldiers in this place.

......

......

Linhuai River, in the border area of Yuxian County, the summer is very hot, and children can often be seen playing here, and sometimes, you can also see the farmer's lady washing clothes by the river.

The people of the Northland have always been simple and simple, full of hard work, and no one thinks about getting nothing for nothing.

"Xiaohua, slow down, don't run and fall!"

"Got it, brother!"

The boy was thirteen or fourteen years old, holding a peachwood sword in his hand, dancing by the river, the sun was in the middle, and his clothes were already soaked with sweat.

His name is Xiao Zuo, and he is a peasant boy in the village not far ahead, because Gaotang Prefecture is too far north, and the farmer's harvest is not good, so although the clothes on the boy's body are very clean, the cloth is very rough.

The little girl who was playing by the river, named Xiaohua, was only seven or eight years old, dressed in embroidered clothes, holding kite-like objects in her hands, and circled around her brother.

Xiao Zuo's mind is very delicate, when he came out, his mother instructed him to take care of his sister no matter what, looking at his sister's happy appearance, Xiao Zuo's eyes shone like a mountain spring.

Xiao Zuo yearns for the rivers and lakes, yearns for those people and things with taste, and he likes to listen to those old people tell anecdotes in the rivers and lakes under the big trees at the head of the village since he was a child.

He worked so hard to practice swords for another purpose, his father was a soldier, but unfortunately died in the barracks a few years ago.

Since then, the mother has been in a slump, and if it weren't for these two children, the mother would have had the idea of going with her husband.

But bumpy and bumpy, life has to be lived, but when his father died, the army never gave a legitimate reason, and the young man had relatives and always felt that this matter was not very simple.

Cao Pi did not follow the teacher to see Zhang Xiu, but stood in the distance, looking at the two children, the corners of his mouth hooked a light smile, compared with himself, these two children are happy, at least, their mother has not been affected by the war.

Comfort always seems to pass quickly.

In a moment, a group of horses galloped, about a dozen people, extremely fast, dressed in armor, and not afraid of the gossip of the people, swept up a dust, rumbling.

Xiaohua has rarely gone out since she was a child, she has never seen such a big scene, and she has never seen these strangely dressed uncles, so she stood still in a daze.

The silence was broken by the neighing of a horse!

The man at the head reined in the reins, and the horse's hooves raised in a terrifying way.

King Yan ruled the army strictly, and he didn't dare to say that there were no people in the dragoon army who fished in troubled waters, and many of these soldiers in Gaotang Prefecture were wearing human skin masks.

"Little rabbit, you are tired of life, you dare to block our boss's way?"

One of them was fierce, and angrily dismounted and walked towards the little girl, and raised his whip to beat her, and Xiaohua could hardly think of what to do next except crying.

It's too late, it's too soon!

Xiao Zuo, who was holding a peachwood sword in his hand, rushed to his feet, and slammed into the soldier's stomach.

This soldier is already weak, and it costs money to be able to enter the army, and the purpose is of course to be as powerful as he is now.

Unfortunately, Xiao Zuo's strength was not small, and this collision actually knocked the soldier far away and fell upside down.

"Don't hurt my sister!" Xiao Zuo's momentum did not decrease, and he said angrily with a peachwood sword in his hand.

The man at the head was a mountain bandit, and he was immediately furious, but he did not move, and whispered a few words to the attendant, and after leaving a few people, he galloped towards the village with the others.

"Little cub, since you want to play, then the master will play with you!"

The soldier came to Xiaozuo with his knife, and he practiced all the peach wood swords on weekdays, and when he really touched a real knife and a real gun, he still couldn't hide the feeling of fear.

Xiao Zuo panicked and ran away, but the long knife behind him was coming towards Xiao Zuo at a speed like a meteor.

The young man thought that it was not good, his speed was not as good as that of this entourage, so he hurriedly rolled on the spot, but he still did not dodge the sword, and his wrist was cut.

Xiao Zuo endured the pain and gritted his teeth, and his heart became no longer afraid, but he looked at his heartbreaking sister who was crying not far away, and felt a little distressed.

The attendant apparently noticed this, smirked, and said viciously, "Do you seem to care about her very much?" ”

With a kick, although the strength was not large, Xiaohua's body was very light, and it flew out in an instant.

Cao Pi jumped out, rescued Xiaohua in the air, and quickly swept to Xiaozuo's side, put Xiaohua on the ground and said, "Go back with your brother!" ”

Xiao Zuo looked at this big brother who suddenly appeared in surprise, he had a sense of greeting from the people of the rivers and lakes, it turned out that Xia had never gone away.

Xiao Zuo hid in the distance as instructed, and those guys who didn't know whether they were alive or dead were still shouting.

"Another one who gave his life offended us, do you know what the fate is?"

Cao Pi sneered, but did not answer the man's question, but shouted into the depths of the woods: "You people really don't know life and death!" ”

The mountain bandits snorted coldly and did not speak.

Cao Pi continued: "If you secretly harass the people in the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, you will definitely show your head to the public, but in the area of Sui County, the punishment should be lighter, and it is definitely not too much to break your hands and feet!" ”

Cao Pi was deeply speechless, looking at the people in front of him, his eyes were already showing murderous intent.

Although a few people have not experienced any officialdom events, fortunately they are not stupid. In that case, is that what people can say casually!

This handsome son is not a relative of the emperor, but also a prince and nobleman.

After analyzing and understanding the origin of the matter, the person who had just done evil hurriedly knelt on the ground, with cold sweat on his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "It was me who was reckless for a while and shocked the child, and I ask Your Excellency for forgiveness!" ”

Cao Pi was surprised: "Do you recognize me?" ”

The man trembled and said, "You are Cao Cao's son, Cao Pi!" ”

The man's voice was very quiet, but it reached the ears of the dog-legged people behind him, and they hurried to the ground.

"Where are you from, and what are you doing here?"

"The mountain bandit near me came with our eldest brother, he used to be a resident of the village in front of him, and he seems to have come to find an old man!"

This person who is not stormy, Cao Pi really can't remember, he should have never met, but such a person should not be a good bird!

"In front of the child, I don't want to kill you, take off this armor from today, hurry up, get out!"

Those few people hurriedly thanked him, and ran away without a trace, for fear that Cao Pi would regret it and his life would be gone.

Xiao Zuo's heart gradually settled, but the general's face seemed to be a little familiar, and he immediately exclaimed: "Mother! ”

Then he didn't stop, he took his sister and ran towards the village.
