Cao Cao and Liu Bei joined forces and continued to march towards Shouchun.

When they arrived at the boundary of Shouchun, it happened that Yuan Shu's vanguard general Qiao Rui arrived with [-] troops.

Seeing the enemy approaching menacingly, Cao Cao looked around,

"Who is willing to be the vanguard of our army and kill Qiao Rui?"

"Someone is willing to go!"

Xiahou Dun stood up and said in a deep voice.

"Someone is willing to go too!"

"I am willing to share the worries for the prime minister!"

Several other generals also stood up and volunteered.

Cao Cao showed satisfaction, just as he was about to order Xiahou Dun to serve as the front army to face Qiao Rui,

A calm voice sounded.

"I would like to be the vanguard and kill Qiao Rui for the Prime Minister!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and after a closer look, it was Cao Mao who spoke.

"General Cao Mao, Qiao Rui is Yuan Shu's general, and he has [-] elite soldiers. Let the other generals come."

Cao Cao laughed.

Although he was very pleased that Cao Mao was willing to take the initiative to invite Ying to fight, but he did not intend to send Cao Mao.

After all, although Qiao Rui on the opposite side is not a top military general, he is also battle-tested.

Especially Cao Mao and three thousand Qingzhou soldiers, what can they defeat?

"Mr. Cao Mao's affection to fight for his father is touching.

It's just that the battle on the battlefield is extremely dangerous, so it's better to leave it to others. "

Liu Bei also agreed with a smile.

"Yeah, just leave it to us."

"General Cao Mao will wait and watch."

Xiahou Dun and other generals also smiled and persuaded Cao Mao.

Cao Mao is young and vigorous, but has little combat experience.

If something goes wrong with Rui Shangqiao, it will be troublesome.

Facing everyone's dissuasion, Cao Mao's expression was indifferent, and he said every word clearly,
"I would like to issue a military order. If I can't take down Qiao Rui, I will let the prime minister deal with it!"

The crowd froze.

They didn't expect that Cao Mao was so stubborn.

In fact, it's no wonder Cao Mao, who made him receive the task issued by the system again.

"Ding, the host triggers the tyrant mission, defeats Qiao Rui, and captures Shouchun!"

In order to get rewards from the system, Cao Mao must become a striker and face Qiao Rui!
All the generals were silent, all looking at Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was a little hesitant.

It doesn't matter whether Cao Mao takes Qiaorui or not. What Cao Cao worries about is his safety on the battlefield.

Recently, Cao Mao has performed outstandingly, and he seems to be the leader of the next generation of the Cao family!

Given time, maybe he could become his successor.

If Cao Mao died on the battlefield, it would be a great loss to Cao Cao and the entire Cao family!

At this moment, Cao Ang on the side suddenly sneered,
"Brother Mao, don't forget that you already have a military order on your back!"

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and then they remembered that Cao Mao had issued a military order in front of Cao Cao in order to take over the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers.

"General Cao Mao, the three-month period is not yet over, you should concentrate on training your troops."

Cao Cao said calmly.

"Three thousand soldiers have been trained by me to become elite soldiers, and they can go to battle to kill the enemy at any time!"

Cao Mao said in a deep voice.

As soon as these words came out, all the generals in the tent looked disapproving.

Even we can't train those soldiers from Qingzhou well, just you, a fledgling boy, dare to boast so much in less than three months.

Do you think that you are Sun Wu and will not be reborn?
Cao Mao noticed the expressions of disapproval on everyone's faces, and cupped his hands,

"If the prime minister and the generals don't believe it, you can inspect the soldiers with me!"

"Since Maodi insists on this, father, why don't you go and inspect the soldiers.

If Maodi really trains an elite army, he might as well be the vanguard. "

Cao Ang pretended to be kind and authentic.

Like everyone else, he didn't believe that Cao Mao had trained three thousand Qingzhou soldiers into an elite division.

His purpose was to let Cao Cao inspect the soldiers, and then he became furious and punished Cao Mao with a military order.

Cao Cao looked towards Cao Mao.

But Cao Mao didn't have the slightest fear to dodge, his face was full of confidence, and he looked directly into Cao Cao's eyes.

"Okay, then go to inspect General Cao Mao's troops!"

Cao Cao said with one hammer.

"Then the general will go to assemble the troops first, and wait for the review by the prime minister and the generals!"

Cao Mao saluted, turned around and strode out of the tent.

Then they set off and came outside the camp, waiting for Cao Mao and three thousand soldiers to arrive.

"Miaocai, what happened just now?"

Liu Bei brought Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Xiahou Dun's side and asked about what happened just now.

As early as when the Eighteenth Route crusade against Dong Zhuo, Xiahou Dun had met Liu Bei and the three of them, and they had a good relationship with each other.

Hearing Liu Bei's inquiry, Xiahou Dun explained in detail about Cao Mao's military order and the offering of various treasures.

"Young people don't know the heights of heaven and earth. If he doesn't do it later, the prime minister may not be able to step down."

Xiahou Dun shook his head with a helpless smile.

But Liu Bei has a thoughtful expression,

"I don't think so."

"Oh, Xuande, do you think he can train an elite army in just three months?"

"If it's someone else, of course I don't believe it."

Liu Bei shook his head,
"But if it is Mr. Cao Mao, I will believe it."

"Why is this?"

Xiahou Dun was amazed.

"As Miaocai said, Mr. Cao Mao first killed Zhang Xiu to help Cao Gong put down the rebellion.

Later, the accounting method was improved, and the digital and assembly line operation method was developed.

It is enough to prove that he is a brave and resourceful person.

Moreover, Mr. Cao Mao had a calm expression just now, and his words were full of confidence.

So I believe that he can do it! "

Liu Bei's explanation made Xiahou Dun fall into deep thought.

Zhang Fei on the side laughed disapprovingly,
"Brother, Cao Mao is still an underage child after all, is it worth your attention?"

"In ancient times, Gan Luo was the prime minister of Qin at the age of 12, and Cao Mao was older than him. Isn't he worthy of training an elite army?"

Liu Bei asked back.

Several people were taken aback for a moment, none of them expected that Liu Bei would value Cao Mao so much.

"If you don't believe me, you will find out later."

Liu Bei smiled lightly and looked into the distance.

When Cao Mao was speaking in the tent just now, Liu Bei felt awe-inspiring aura from him!

Liu Bei has seen many high-ranking and powerful figures, and also seen many rising stars who have risen to fame.

But no one has ever given Liu Bei this feeling!

Somewhere, Liu Bei had an inexplicable feeling that Cao Mao would be his formidable enemy!
The crowd waited for a while, but Cao Mao and his soldiers arrived for a long time.

They are all a little impatient.

"Could it be that Brother Mao didn't complete the task, so he didn't dare to come to see father?"

Cao Ang said half-jokingly.

But no one paid him any attention.

At this moment, a dull voice suddenly came from a distance, faintly heard, but it was like thunder in the sky.

"What's that sound?"

"Could it be that Qiao Rui led the troops to call?"

Everyone was a little nervous.

Cao Cao, however, raised his hand to stop the commotion of the crowd, with a serious expression on his face,

"It's footsteps!"
