The day has finally come when Cao Shuo will leave Izumo.

Himiko personally sent him to the coast.

Refusing to let any man see her, Himiko sat in the carriage all the time.

Coming to the coast, Cao Shuo dismounted.

Walking back to Michimiko's carriage, he said, "I'm leaving." ”

"Go all the way." From the carriage came the voice of Himiko: "Remember what I said to you, don't forget it." ”

"I remember it all." Cao Shuo said, "No matter what time it is, I will never forget that there is someone waiting for me in Izumo. ”

"Let's go." Himiko in the carriage said, "I'll always wait for you." ”

Cao Shuo bowed his hand and turned to walk towards the warship.

The soldiers followed him aboard the boat, and only Himiko and Shi Guangyuan and other people were left on the coast.

On the warship, Cao Shuo stood on the side of the ship and looked at the carriage of Himiko.

Until the ship left, Himiko's carriage did not leave.

Looking at the carriage, Cao Shuo did not speak for a long time.

"Childe." He came to him and said, "I have entered the sea, and the wind is strong on the sea......

"The frustrated prince just didn't want me to look at the queen's carriage." Looking at the shore, Cao Shuo said: "Leaving her, I really feel an indescribable feeling in my heart." I thought that when I arrived in Izumo, I would be able to go back with a smooth run, but I didn't expect to meet our descendants of the Central Plains here. What's more, she is still the god Amaterasu in the minds of the people of Izumo. ”

"Does Childe want to take the queen back to the Central Plains?" Frustrated asked.

"Of course I do." Cao Shuo said: "My woman, how can she let her wander alone? ”

"It's a bitter child." "I know that Childe is very affectionate and will never let the queen stay alone in Izumo. But now ......"

"If it weren't for the fact that I knew that her leaving now would cause a lot of trouble to Shi Guangyuan, wouldn't I want to take her back?" The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and he said to Fu Zhu: "I also ask Fu Gong to send someone to Izumo often to find out about her for me." If Izumo doesn't have any more newborns as we expected, I'll sail again with the navy and bring her back to Shouchun. ”

"I'll do as Childe tells me." Frustrated Zhu asked, "What are the plans of the son to return to Shouchun this time?" ”

"What else can I plan?" Cao Shuo said: "Seeing that winter is about to begin, when I return to Shouchun, I should prepare grain, grass, and weapons, and the day has come to launch a general attack on the Yuan family." ”

"Is the Yuan family ......" When he asked this sentence, he was a little lonely in his heart.

When Yuan Shao passed away, he cried when he went to mourn.

Yuan Shao couldn't stand him, he had already served Cao Shuo, but in his heart, he still couldn't let go of Hebei.

Cao Shuo nodded: "Is the frustrated prince feeling sorry for the Yuan family?" ”

"I'm sure I wouldn't admit it if it were someone else." "But in front of Childe, there is no need for me to lie, and there is no need to hide anything. ”

"That's it." Cao Shuo said: "I don't know why I dare to hand over the navy to you to command? ”

Looking at Cao Shuo, he didn't say anything.

But he vaguely seemed to have sensed something.

"It is precisely because of the loyalty of the Duke of Fu to the Yuan family." Cao Shuo said: "It's not a secret, if Fu Gong is a person who easily forgets the old master, I don't dare to hand over such an important army to Fu Gong." ”

"Thank you for your trust." Frustrated Professor bowed and thanked him.

When Cao Shuo set sail back to Haixi, Cao Cao was not in Xudu.

At this time, he was leading a large army to besiege Yecheng.

Sitting in the tent with Guo Jia and other staff, Cao Cao said: "Seeing that winter is about to begin, in winter, the weather is cold, and the attack on Yecheng can only be temporarily slowed down. Do you think it's time for us to retire? ”

"Cao Gong has come to Yecheng several times and then retreated." Guo Jia said: "This time, I think it should be on the outskirts of Yecheng. ”

"What is the high opinion of Bonghyo?" Cao Cao asked.

"Winter is not suitable for combat, but it is also not suitable for marching." Guo Jia said: "Now that most of Hebei has been taken by our army, there is no need for Cao Gong to return to Xudu, as long as he finds a nearby place to station the army, and then starts a war with Yuan Shang next year." ”

"What's going on over there with Yuan Tan?" Cao Cao asked.

"Yuan Shangbu planned to serve Duke Cao with Feng Xi and others, and Yuan Tan sent them a seal ribbon, which has the meaning of enveloping." Xun You interjected: "Looking at that posture, it seems that you want to take advantage of Cao Gong. ”

"What do you think Bonghyo should do with this matter?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"Yuan Tan wants benefits, then give him benefits." Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong left a gap for him to drill and give him a chance to seize Yecheng." ”

"Isn't it going to start now?" Cao Cao asked.

"Of course not." Guo Jia replied: "If Cao Gong persecuted too hard, so that Yuan Tan felt that he didn't have many opportunities, maybe he wouldn't do more secretly this time." Our army slowed down the offensive, and Yuan Tan could feel profitable. He felt that there was a chance to capture Yecheng and fight against Cao Gong, so that Cao Gong could really take Hebei. ”

Twisting his chin, Cao Cao nodded: "That's it." ”

He then asked the crowd, "Do you know what happened to Zirong now?" ”

"It is said that Childe went to Izumo." Jia Xu replied: "I should be about to return after counting the days." ”

"The war with the Yuan family is imminent, and he doesn't sit in Shouchun but runs to Izumo, which is also very nonsense." Cao Cao said: "When he comes back, I want him to look good." ”

"Is it possible that Gong Cao still plans to make Gongzi a pioneer?" Jia Xu asked.

"Isn't it just right for him to be a pioneer?" Cao Cao asked rhetorically.

"Gongzi has countless elite soldiers under his command, although it is appropriate to be a pioneer, but in a decisive battle with the Yuan family, it is not suitable for Gongzi to lead the army to battle." Jia Xu replied: "Yuan Shao was killed before, and the reaction of the prince Cao Gong should also be able to see that he is affectionate and sexual, and it is always difficult to kill the Yuan family. Gongzi felt that he could control the situation, and maybe he would leave Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang alive. However, if they are alive, it will not be good for the Cao family after all! ”

"That's what Wen He said." Cao Cao asked, "Who is the right pioneer this time?" ”

Jia Xu's gaze fell on Xu Chu.

Cao Cao also looked at Xu Chu.

Finding that they were looking at him, Xu Chu stepped forward and said, "Gong Cao, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!" ”

"General Xu follows Cao Gong all day long and is loyal to Cao Gong." Jia Xu said: "He is indeed suitable to be a pioneer. ”

"I think it's the right fit, too." Cao Cao nodded, and then said to Xu Chu: "Of course, it is best for Zhong Kangken to be a pioneer. ”

Holding his fists and bowing, Xu Chu gave a big salute to Cao Cao: "Rest assured that Gong Cao, the last general will not disgrace his mission!" ”
