Cao Mao holds a long sword and stands on the front line of the battle.

There are also examples of Ding Shuai and Wang Yan who avoided the battle and were beheaded.

Cao Jun's soldiers immediately feared death and launched an offensive against Shouchun.

It didn't take long for the deep gully to be filled.

Cao Jun's morale was greatly boosted, while Shu Jun was a little panicked.

One after the other, it didn't take long before Cao Jun's soldiers passed the ladder and successfully took down the city wall.

"Follow me to attack the city!"

Cao Mao shouted sharply, and under the cover of Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry, he climbed up the city wall.

He slashed with his sword and cut the rope.

The raised suspension bridge fell heavily, and the city gate was opened.

Cao Jun rushed forward and took advantage of the situation to attack Shouchun City.

The four generals Li Feng in the city, seeing that the situation was over, quickly gave up resistance and surrendered to Cao Cao.

Shouchun was completely captured by Cao Jun!
……

Yuan Shu's palace.

Cao Cao sat on the throne that originally belonged to Yuan Shu, with a gratified smile on his face.

"Su Lie, you really didn't disappoint your father, you took down Shouchun in just one day!"

"This is all due to the bravery of the soldiers."

Cao Mao smiled faintly, looked at Liu Bei aside, and said sarcastically,

"Liu Shijun, if you don't use brutal methods according to what you said, when do you think you can take Shouchun City?"

Liu Bei was speechless.

If it is not as strict as Cao Mao's overseeing the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to win Shouchun in half a month.

"Cough, Su Lie, don't be rude to Shijun Liu."

Cao Cao pretended to be displeased, but in his heart he was very happy because Cao Mao slapped Liu Bei in the face.

"General Su Lie should be the first to win Shouchun this time. He should be rewarded heavily."

Cao Cao rewarded Cao Mao with the money he looted from Yuan Shu's palace.

Then everyone discussed again, the next military.

"Everyone, should we continue to cross the Huai River and continue to pursue Yuan Shu?"

Cao Cao asked.

Cao Mao pondered for a moment, then opened his mouth and said,

"Prime Minister, after several fierce battles, our army is exhausted.

Coupled with the shortage of food in the army, I suggest that the squad should return to the court and take a rest. "

Although Shouchun was captured, there was not much food left in the city.

Coupled with Li Feng and other tens of thousands of troops, the food became tight again.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Jia who was at the side,

"What does the military division mean?"

Guo Jia nodded slightly,

"I agree with General Su Lie's opinion.

Now that the prime minister has captured the capital of the rebel Yuan Shu, it can be said that he has achieved great results, which is enough to explain to the world.

It's better for the teacher to return to court. "

"Okay, then according to what the military division and General Su Lie said, I will return to the court tomorrow."

"Zixiao, stay at Shouchun and beware of Yuan Shu."

Cao Cao ordered.

"The last will obey."

Cao Ren surrendered and took the order.

"As for Xuande, you should stay with Xiaopei temporarily, and you and Lu Bu are brothers and will not invade each other."

Cao Cao exhorted.

"Prime Minister, it's not that I don't want to, but that Lu Bu is arrogant and has come to violate me many times."

Liu Bei smiled wryly.

"Liu Shijun, don't worry for now, Lu Bu is the grasshopper after autumn.

Before long, he will be defeated by my father. "

Cao Mao spoke confidently.

Liu Bei had to take orders.

After everyone left, Cao Cao called Cao Mao to stop.

"Mao'er, why do you think that Lu Bu will be defeated by the father?"

Cao Mao chuckled and said slowly,

"Although Lu Bu is brave, but like Yuan Shu, he is a man who values ​​profit and shortsightedness. How can he be compared with his father?"

Cao Cao felt relieved when he heard it, and smiled authentically,

"In your opinion, among the people in the world, who is my father's opponent?"

Cao Mao shook his head,

"There is no one who can be compared with my father. Only my father can sweep the world and calm the troubled times!"

Cao Cao did not expect that he held such a high position in Cao Mao's heart.

He couldn't help feeling a little giddy.

"Mao'er, it can be said that you alone are responsible for winning Shouchun this time.

What reward do you want besides that money? "

Cao Cao laughed.

Cao Mao pondered for a while,

"Father, I want to further increase the combat effectiveness of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Can you increase the military expenditure of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry?"

He roughly explained his plans for tiger and leopard cavalry, providing elite war horses, double armor for men and horses, double pay, etc.

Cao Cao's eyes lit up after hearing this, but then he smiled wryly.

"Mao'er, it's not because of my father's disapproval, it's just that the current government finances are really beyond their means."

Cao Cao welcomed Han Xiandi Liu Xie to Xu County, where he made his capital.

On the one hand, it is necessary to build the palace, and on the other hand, it is necessary to conquer the Quartet.

Although Wancheng, Shouchun and other places were taken successively this time, the materials seized were barely enough to run the army.

Therefore, Cao Mao's request made Cao Cao a little embarrassed.

After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cao Mao was not too disappointed.

He still has some understanding of the financial situation of the imperial court.

Cao Mao thought for a moment, then said,
"Since this is the case, please allow me to raise my own military expenses."

Cao Cao thought for a while, nodded and said,
"Yes, but Mao'er must remember, don't do things that violate the law and discipline."

"A child always remembers what his father teaches."

Cao Mao bowed his hands and retreated.

After returning to the tent, Jia Xu greeted him with a smile,
"Congratulations, son, you have made a great contribution.

Now in the army, the son's prestige can be said to be resounding. "

Cao Mao smiled faintly, "It's just a false name."

Seeing him so calm, Jia Xu praised him again.

The two chatted immediately, and after mentioning the lack of military expenses, Jia Xu couldn't help but smile a few times,

"My lord, isn't the Prime Minister embarrassing us?

You want the horse to run, and you want the horse not to eat grass. "

"I have a plan in mind for this matter. As long as it is done, let alone raising three thousand soldiers, even thirty thousand is not a problem."

Cao Mao showed a confident smile.

According to Cao Mao's idea of ​​enhancing the combat power of tiger and leopard cavalry, the military resources consumed by the 3 horses are enough to be worth [-].

Such a huge military expenditure gave even Cao Cao a headache, but Cao Mao said it so easily and indifferently.

This made Jia Xu involuntarily curious.

"My lord, what is the plan?"

"Secret, after returning to Xudu, you will naturally know."

Cao Mao smiled mysteriously.

……

Cao Cao left Cao Ren and tens of thousands of troops behind. After guarding Shouchun, he raised his troops and returned to Xudu.

Cao Mao did not have any official status, so he could not participate in the court meeting.

As soon as he returned to Xudu, he headed towards his residence.

As soon as Cao Mao stepped into the house, a girl with a good figure looked at him in surprise.

"Pomegranate, why don't you know my young master?"

Cao Mao laughed.

"Small... young master?"

Only then did the girl Shiliu realize that standing in front of her was her young master Cao Mao.

In the past, Cao Mao's complexion was pale, and his body was hollowed out by wine, and it is not an exaggeration to describe him as weak.

But now, after three months of training with Tiger and Leopard Riders, he has a strong body, handsome appearance but not lacking in masculinity.

Shiliu looked a little blushing, and her heart was pounding like a deer.

How did the son become so handsome?

"Pomegranate, where is my mother?"

Only then did Shiliu react, and quickly said,

"Young master, I will report to my wife right now."
