Cao Shuo decided to personally conquer Izumo.

Although he didn't want to make trouble in the city, he had to explain to his generals and staff.

It was used as the front hall of the Yuan Shu court.

The generals and staff sat on either side, and their eyes all fell on Cao Shuo's face.

"I'll leave for Hercy early tomorrow morning." Cao Shuo said to everyone: "Shouchun affairs will be handled by the public station, and Yuan Hao is responsible for coordinating all localities. It is especially important that the women we brought back earlier, including the Hun women, should see how they are doing. In two or three months, the doctor went to the villages to check on the women and see how many of them were pregnant. ”

"Obey Childe's orders." Chen Gong and Tian Feng stood up and answered.

"I still don't think Childe should go to Izumo in person." Huang Zhong stood up and said, "It is said that Izumo is in the far sea, and Childe has never been to the sea. Not to mention what happened to Izumo, but I'm afraid I can't stand it even if I'm on the ship. ”

"I can't lead troops to fight all year round, and I can't endure this hardship, how will I lead the troops in the future?" Cao Shuo smiled and said, "General Huang doesn't have to worry about ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Zhong said again: "If Gongzi insists on personally leading the troops to defeat Izumo, please be sure to bring the sharpshooter battalion." ”

"If we take the sharpshooter camp, we have to go too." Huang Zhong proposed to follow Cao Shuo to Izumo, and Chen Zhi stood up and said: "The Dragon Pattern Rider has been responsible for guarding Gongzi many times, and he knows very well how to guard his side, and it will be safer to take us with him." ”

"The two generals don't have to fight." Cao Shuo said: "The dragon pattern cavalry and the sharpshooter camp are both going." ”

He promised the dragon pattern cavalry to go to sea with the sharpshooter battalion, Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi glanced at each other, and received the military order with satisfaction.

Wei Yan, Gao Shun, and Ju Yi saw that the two of them succeeded, and they also asked for battle.

Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I can use General Huang's sharpshooter battalion, General Chen's dragon pattern is ridden to the place, and the war horse can also play a role." Why did several generals go too? ”

Ju Yi's first camp and Gao Shun's broken camp were both infantry troops.

The two wanted to talk almost at the same time.

found that the other party had something to say, and they all stopped at the same time.

Although the tactics of breaking the camp and the first camp are different, the composition of the soldiers is not much different.

As long as Cao Shuo allowed one of the battalions to follow, the other battalion had an excuse to follow.

However, Wei Yan was a little breathless.

The Flying Bear Battalion is a cavalry battle, which can be used as an infantry army or as a cavalry, and they are the most numerous and special among the elites.

"Actually, it's okay not to take them there." Wei Yan said: "The Flying Bear Battalion has 800 people, the largest number of people in each battalion, and the soldiers can fight both on and off their horses. As long as you take the Flying Bear Battalion and the Marksman Battalion, the other battalions can stay in Shouchun. ”

"It's not right for General Wei to say that." Wei Yan's words were immediately opposed by Chen Zhi and others, and Gao Shun said: "There are not many people in our battalions, and they all have expertise. Although the Flying Bear Battalion is a two-way battle on foot, can you get the dragon pattern ride by picking up the horse and fighting on horseback? If we start the battle, we will break the camp and take General Ju's first camp to take the Flying Bear Battalion in our eyes? ”

"If you don't accept it, come out and practice, whoever wins, who goes, what?" Wei Yan asked Gao Shun.

"Practice is practice!" Ju Yi's eyes widened: "What are you afraid of?" ”

The generals were noisy and shouting, and they were about to let the soldiers under their command compete.

Cao Shuo said: "Okay, don't make trouble, generals, this time I went to Izumo, I only took the dragon pattern cavalry and the sharpshooter battalion, and the other battalions stayed in Shouchun." ”

"There are too few elites around Childe, we don't worry." Ju Yi said: "No matter what, I have to bring a team of people and horses, like the Flying Bear Battalion, although I can get on and off the horse, but I don't have much ability, with or without it, it's just like that." ”

"Who do you say is incompetent?" Ju Yi's words were very pertinent, Wei Yan was suddenly angry, his eyes glared and said: "Come on, come on, if you don't obey, let's take the soldiers out for a walk!" ”

Several generals were about to quarrel.

Cao Shuo said: "Enough, what about the soldiers under your command, I still don't know?" Except for General Ju's first battalion brought from Hebei, and General Huang's sharpshooter battalion was built when I went out to fight against the Xiongnu, the other three battalions have all followed me to the battlefield many times, how capable they are, I don't know? ”

Looking at Ju Yi and Huang Zhong, Cao Shuo said: "General Ju's first battalion has also made great achievements, but General Huang's sharpshooter battalion has only been prepared for a year. This time, I took the Marksman Battalion to Izumo, firstly, because I planned to see what the Marksman Battalion's tactics were, and secondly, because I wanted to give the Marksman Battalion a chance to make meritorious contributions. As for the dragon pattern ride, they went to Izumo to follow me. Could it be that a few generals want to compete with the sharpshooter battalion for credit? ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, Ju Yi and other generals stopped talking.

"Since receiving the support of the Cao family, Yuan Tan has launched an attack on Yuan Shang again." Cao Shuo said: "The Yuan brothers are in full swing, and the day of my father's crusade against Hebei is coming. The big war is still to come, and the war can be fought in the future to make the generals upset. Izumo is just a small place, and as I told me, the people there are still uncivilized. Bullying a bunch of savages with fluff on their bodies, the generals feel very dignified? ”

The generals who were still scrambling to go to Izumo just now lowered their heads one by one and didn't say a word.

Seeing that they were no longer arguing, Cao Shuo said to Huang Zhong and Chen Zhi: "Please prepare after the two generals go back, and we will go to Haixi early tomorrow morning." ”

"Order!" Chen Zhi and Huang Zhong responded in unison.

Yuan Shao's funeral had long been over, Cao Shuo was preparing to crusade against Izumo, and the Yuan family in Hebei knew that Yuan Shao had died.

After receiving the news of Yuan Shao's death, Mrs. Liu was speechless for a long time.

Sitting in the back house, she was silent for a long time and didn't say a word.

Yuan Shang walked in from outside the house and saluted her: "I've seen my mother." ”

Mrs. Liu raised her eyes to him and asked.

"Got it." Of course, knowing what she said, Yuan Shang replied: "I sent someone to investigate, my father was buried in a hill outside Shouchun City, Cao Zirong was still a conscience, and he arranged the funeral for his father in accordance with the rites of the Three Princes." ”

"What if it is according to the courtesy of the prince?" Mrs. Liu said, "Your father is no longer here! ”

"My father is gone, and I." Yuan Shang said: "I will definitely revitalize Hebei and not embarrass the ancestors of the Yuan family." ”

"How's Xiansi doing?" Mrs. Liu asked, "Have you sent troops to Yecheng?" ”

"There were a few soldiers." Yuan Shang said: "He was beaten back by the soldiers, and it was simply wishful thinking to take Yecheng away with his ability." ”

"Brothers should be of the same heart, it's better for you to fight each other all day long." Mrs. Liu sighed and said, "Xiansi is also ignorant, why don't you refuse to assist you, but want to stumble with you everywhere?" ”
