After staying in the barracks until it was getting dark, Cao Ju returned to the Horse Mansion and talked with Cao Xu for a while, mainly about the fact that he would lead the army to the expedition in the near future. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Cao Xu's didn't know anything about political affairs, and he had been hidden by Cao Ju, he didn't want Cao Xu's to worry too much, including Cao Ying, Cao Ju didn't tell her any news.

Cao Ju specially ordered the women in the entire Horse Mansion not to interfere in any government affairs, and at the same time, he also gave an order to his subordinates not to disclose any government affairs and military information to any woman in the Horse Mansion.

Cao Xu didn't know why Cao Ju was on the march, but he just told him to be careful when he was out on the march, and also asked Cao Ju not to worry about her body, just fight hard and serve the court.

After leaving Cao Xu's residence, Cao Ju looked at the starry sky, sighed, turned his head to Gan Ning and asked: "Xingba, when you defected to Lone, you were enthusiastic to serve the court, and now Lone has to be subject to Dong Zhuo, and you have to fight against the Kwantung Coalition Army for Dong Zhuo's Xingbing, are you disappointed in Lonely?" ”

"Definitely." Gan Ning immediately shook his head and said, "Lord, the last general knows that the lord is a last resort, although the lord is next to Dong Thief, his heart is in the Kanto camp. Moreover, the last general believes that with Dong Zhuo's rebellious actions and the brutality of the Xiliang soldiers, it will not last long, and at that time, the lord will return to the sea like a dragon, and the tiger will return to the mountains and forests. ”

Cao Ju glanced at Gan Ning in surprise, and said with a smile: "Xingba actually thinks like this, among the generals under his command, even Zihe is incomparable. In history, after he surrendered to Sun Quan, he once suggested that Sun Quan first start with the old and faint Huang Zu, capture Jingzhou, and then plot against Bashu, confront Cao Cao in the north and south, and divide the world equally.

Gan Ning arched his hand and said: "The lord praises falsely, although the last general will follow the lord for a short time, but he has benefited a lot, and this is the merit of the lord." ”

The generals under Cao Ju's command are basically not low in force, but Dian Wei, Cao Peng, and Hua Xiong can only be regarded as fierce generals on the battlefield, while Cao Chun, Huang Zhong and Gan Ning are wise generals who can lead an army alone.

Of course, there are two more brothers, Cao Ren and Cao Hong, both of whom are wise generals, especially Cao Ren, who is the first general of the Cao clan under Cao Cao in history.

In ancient times, the medical level was too poor, and the general arrow wounds, if they were not cleaned up, would bury hidden dangers in the body, and even more so that the injured person's physique would decline after healing, so that arrow wound was absolutely inseparable from Zhou Yu's untimely death, and it is not too much to say that Zhou Yu died indirectly at the hands of Cao Ren.

Cao Ju nodded, and asked again: "With Xingba's talent, being one of the commanders of the pro-guard army is too condescending. ”

Gan Ning's face was overjoyed, but just for a moment, his face calmed down, and he hugged his fists again, and said: "Lord, the duty of the last general is to protect the lord's safety, and he doesn't dare to leave the lord half a step, as for leading the army to fight, there will be a chance in the future, and the last general is not in a hurry." ”

Cao Ju waved his hand and said with a smile: "These two do not affect it, in Luoyang City, you and evil come to take turns to protect the safety of Lonely, and on the battlefield, you can also personally lead the army to fight." ”

Gan Ning thought about it, and still wanted to lead an army alone and make meritorious contributions, but he no longer refused, and said: "The last general thanks the lord for his support, he will definitely not live up to the lord's trust." ”

Cao Ju said with a smile: "Okay, from today on, you will also lead 5,000 troops, and you will be the commander of the lone guard army in wartime and the commander of the lone personal guard army in non-war times." If there is another suitable candidate in the future, you will be able to concentrate on leading the army. ”

Suddenly, Cao Ju thought to himself, it's a pity, I followed Dong Zhuo at this time, my reputation is not good, and I didn't succeed in recruiting Xu Chu, otherwise, Zuo Dianwei and Right Xu Chu, there is no need to worry about the safety at all.

Not long ago, Cao Ju sent someone to Xujiazhuang in Qian County, holding his letter to solicit Xu Chu, but he didn't want to, Xu Chu refused, just on the grounds that he only wanted to serve his mother at home.

The Han Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, and the best way to deal with the imperial court's conquest system was to use the excuse of serving his parents at home, even if it was the emperor, he didn't dare to say anything.

Gan Ning rolled his eyes and said: "Lord, the last general knows a person, the swordsmanship is superb, and the martial arts are not under the evil. ”

Cao Ju was overjoyed and immediately asked, "Xingba, I don't know who this person is, and what is your relationship with him?" ”

Gan Ning replied: "This person's surname is Shi, his name is A, and the word is Juying." ”

Cao Ju was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Xingba, could it be that the swordsman Wang Yue is also a disciple?" ”

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Shi A is not Wang Yue's disciple, but he has exchanged experiences with Wang Yue and Wang Yue, exchanging experiences with each other, and benefiting each other a lot. ”

Regardless of whether he and Wang Yue were masters and apprentices, Cao Ju didn't care about this question, and immediately asked, "Xingba may contact this person and persuade him to defect to Yu Guye?" ”

Gan Ning nodded and said: "Shi Anai is a native of Henan, a ranger in the early years, and he returned home last year. Tomorrow, the last general will send someone to his house and invite him to assist the lord together. ”

Cao Ju thought for a while and said: "No, in a few days, it will be the day when Lone leads the army east into Yingchuan. ”

Gan Ning said happily: "Shi Ah this person attaches great importance to love and righteousness, if the lord is willing to deign to go to solicit, he will be able to move Shi A, Shi Ah is from it, there is its evil coming, and the lord is in danger." ”

Cao Ju was also in a happy mood, and said with a smile: "If this is really the case, Xingba should be the first merit, and Lone will not treat Xingba badly." ”

The two said, and came to the backyard, according to the rules of the Horse Mansion, Gan Ning could not enter the backyard, and could only guard the door of the backyard, and the safety of the backyard was the responsibility of Qu Mu and Qu Mu's group of eunuch apprentices.

After Cao Ju returned to the backyard, he wanted to go back to his residence to rest, but when he passed by Liao Wan'er's residence, he found that there was a woman's shadow dangling in the room, and suddenly remembered her appointment with Liao Wan'er today, and asked her to wait for him in the room in vain.

Remembering that Xu Song had said that Liao Wan'er had a good room technique, Cao Ju suddenly felt a longing in his heart, and looked left and right, except for a few eunuchs in charge of night patrols in the huge courtyard, there was no one else, so he walked towards his residence.
