Sima Yi personally led people to escort Tian Feng and Zhu Ao into Huainan territory.

Approaching Zhongli, Sima Yi stopped.

"Tian Gong, not far from Zhongli, after Zhongli, it will not be far from Shouchun." Sima Yi said: "I'll send it here, and there shouldn't be anything wrong on the road behind." ”

"There's General Rausa!" Tian Feng thanked him.

Sima Yi returned the salute, turned his horse and shouted to the soldiers who followed behind him: "Soldiers, follow me back to Xuzhou!" ”

Seeing Sima Yi leave, Tian Feng asked Zhu Ao, "How far is it from here to Shouchun?" ”

"It's only one or two hundred miles." Zhu Ao said: "Two days at most. ”

"General Sima said this, there will be no more situations in the future, is there no thief in the Shouchun area?" Tian Feng asked.

The Yuan family in Hebei has strong troops, but there are often bandits near Yecheng.

That's why Tian Feng asked.

"Not only in the vicinity of Shouchun, as long as it is under the rule of Gongzi, there are no thieves." Zhu Ao said: "Earlier, Gongzi had vigorously exterminated the thieves, and the villages in various places were mixed with the military households. If the thieves dare to cause chaos in various places, they can be exterminated by the military village without the son sending troops. ”

"It's still a lot of ways to be a child." Tian Feng nodded at first, and then asked Zhu Ao: "Is Junhu Village a hereditary soldier?" ”

"It stands to reason that it is." Zhu Ao said: "But the children of military families don't have to be soldiers when they grow up, if they really don't want to be soldiers and have a skill." ”

While Tian Feng and Zhu Ao passed through Zhongli to Shouchun, Cao Shuo also got the news that they had entered the Huainan realm.

With Pang Tong, Chen Zhi and the dragon pattern riding, Cao Shuo left Shouchun and went to greet Tian Feng in person.

From Shouchun to Zhongli, you have to pass through many villages and towns.

Since Cao Shuo took charge of Huainan, there have been many villages and towns in various places, and many people have been attracted from the surrounding areas to enter the areas under his rule.

Twenty or thirty miles out of the city, Cao Shuo and others came to a small town.

As soon as he entered the town, he saw a commotion in front of him, and many people were watching something.

"Go and see what's going on." He gave Cai Ji an order.

Cai Jice stepped forward immediately.

Before he could shout, he heard something from the crowd.

"People are cripples, not as bullied as you." An old man said indignantly.

The onlookers blamed the people who were in the middle.

Cai Ji stopped his horse and heard a person shouting in the middle of the crowd: "What's your business? If you don't want to find yourself uncomfortable, go away. ”

Although he didn't squeeze into the crowd, Cai Ji still understood.

Surrounded by crowds, people are bullying people with disabilities.

He turned his horse and returned to Cao Shuo, clasped his fists and said, "Master Qiyu, someone is bullying the crippled, and he is surrounded and accused by the people. The bully, however, refuses to admit his mistake at all, but instead shouts and threatens the people. ”

"Let's take a look." Cao Shuo commanded.

Cai Ji and Wei Tu immediately stepped forward, and the two of them shouted: "Let me go, the son is here!" ”

After returning to Huainan, Cao Shuo rarely left Shouchun City.

Even if you go out of town once in a while, you just walk around the area.

Although this town is not very far from Shouchun, it has already exceeded the radius of Cao Shuo's wandering.

The onlookers didn't expect Cao Shuo to come, so they looked back one by one.

When they saw Cao Shuo coming over with a team of people, they hurriedly stepped aside.

Cao Shuo is unknown to everyone in Shouchun City, but there are not many people who know him in this town.

After all, in this era, there is no TV or the Internet, and where he doesn't come much, the people have heard more of his reputation, but they don't know what he looks like.

The only way to tell Cao Shuo's identity is to judge by the dragon-patterned cavalry soldiers who followed him.

The people got out of the way, and just as a few young men in the middle wanted to run away, several dragon-patterned riders stepped forward to stop them.

A few young people looked angry, and at first glance they knew that they were the splashes of the town.

Behind them, there was a man who was setting up a stall with only one leg left.

The basket in front of the man was kicked over, and some wooden knick-knacks in the basket were scattered all over the ground.

Cao Shuo rode his horse over, and several splashes all lowered their heads, and one by one they stole glances at him.

When the man who was missing a leg saw Cao Shuo, his eyes suddenly turned red.

He jumped twice on one leg, got closer to Cao Shuo, and fell down with a "poof".

He obviously wanted to kneel, but he only had one leg, which could not support his body, so he could only lie on the ground.

Lying on the ground, the one-legged man was already in tears, and he choked up and shouted, "I finally see Childe again......"

"You know me?" Cao Shuo looked at him and asked.

"Hui Gongzi, I was once under General Wei, and I was injured and retired when I attacked Xuzhou." The one-legged man replied: "Fortunately, there is a son who has settled down, otherwise he would have starved to death in the wilderness." ”

Hearing that he had been on the battlefield, Cao Shuo turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and grabbed his arm and said, "Good brother, you have suffered!" ”

Cao Shuo's actions surprised the man.

He stood up, his eyes were red, he was already in tears, and his tone was even more choked when he spoke: "Childe......"

"With such a serious injury, why did you still come here to set up a stall?" Holding the man, Cao Shuo asked him.

"Life at home is very good, but I still want to make up for it." The one-legged man replied.

Looking at the gadgets scattered on the ground, Cao Shuo frowned slightly, and asked the one-legged man, "What's going on?" How did you provoke them? ”

"They are the pungents here, and they have to pay for setting up a stall." The man said: "I thought in my heart that under the rule of Gongzi, even if I want to pay the money, it will be handed over to the local government, where will I get a few splashes?" If I refused to pay it, they smashed my stall. ”

His face became a little ugly, Cao Shuo didn't look at the splashes, and coldly ordered the dragoon guards behind him: "Get them all for me!" ”

More than a dozen dragoon guards stepped forward and took the stunned faces of the splashers.

Cao Shuo continued: "Cut! ”

"Childe, why did you kill us?" Hearing that they were going to be cut, a few splashes were startled, and someone blurted out.

"Why?" Cao Shuo said coldly: "Because you dare to bully my brother!" ”

Called "brother" by Cao Shuo, the one-legged man couldn't hold back anymore, and sat down on the ground with one leg weak, already with tears streaming down his face.

"They fought on the battlefield for the sake of the people to live a good life, lost their legs and lost their arms, but in the end, what did they end up with?" Holding the hand of the one-legged man, Cao Shuo said: "Even a few splashes dare to bully them!" They are heroes, and I don't know how to treat the wounded and retired soldiers in other people's places, but here in me, I must not let my brothers, who once trusted their lives back to back, shed blood and tears! ”
