As soon as this word comes out.

A look of surprise appeared on Xun Yu's face.

Even Cao Mao was slightly taken aback.

After the First Battle of Nanpi, Yuan Tan was killed, and his men turned and surrendered.

However, Yuan Shang and Chun Yuqiong fled back to Youzhou in a hurry because they withdrew earlier.

Since then, Cao Mao was first transferred back to Xudu by Cao Cao's decree.

Following the incident in Xudu City, he went to Jiangdong and made a big fuss about Sun Quan's wedding.

It has been several months so far.

During this period, the northern defense lines in Jizhou and Bingzhou were all supervised by Ju Shou.

And Yuan Shang in Youzhou seemed to be scared by Cao Mao's beating, and he kept his law and order without any changes.

But no one expected that he would dare to take the initiative to send troops.

For a while, Jushou was caught off guard.

Inside the Chamber.

Cao Mao looked at the sand table in front of him, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth,
"Interesting, this Yuan Shang really thinks that he didn't die fast enough."

"My lord, what else is there to say, of course it's his mother!"

The impatient Gan Ning immediately patted the table and stood up, volunteering to say,
"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and bring Yuan Shang's head as the lord!"

"Go, go, go, go, you and Zilong made a big show when you went to Jiangdong last time. What's going on this time, it's my turn, right?"

Cao Zhang shouted dissatisfied.

Cao Mao waved his hand and said with a faint smile,
"You don't need to be impatient. Since you have sent troops this time, you will definitely have to go all out and take Yuan Shang down. At that time, you will all have to fight."

He paused, and looked at Deng Ai and Jiang Wei beside him.

"How is the army training?"

"Reporting to the teacher, the training is almost done, and you can go to the battlefield at any time!"

Deng Ai said in a low voice.

After mastering the power of the court, Cao Mao handed over Yuan's soldiers, as well as part of the army that had previously been loyal to Cao Cao, to Deng Ai and Jiang Wei for training.

Now that the army has been well trained, it's time to completely pacify the north!

Cao Mao's eyes were fixed, and he said coldly,
"The generals obey!"

Everyone's face was solemn, and they clapped their hands together and said in unison,
"Please tell me, my lord!"

"From now on, we will start gathering troops and marching towards Hebei!"

"Here!"

"Ma Dai, Cao Yingjie, Cao Fengyang, and Zhou Cang listen to the order!"

"The end is here!"

"Ma Dai leads the southern army and is responsible for maintaining law and order in the city. Anyone who dares to make troubles should be killed first and then played!"

"The last will obey!"

"Cao Yingjie, Cao Fengyang, Zhou Cang, the three of you are responsible for the safety of the imperial city, you must be careful!"

"The last will obey!"

"Pang Tong, Jia Xu, and Xu You listen to orders!"

"Subordinates are here!"

"The three of you are military advisers, follow me!"

"Here!"

Cao Mao looked at Ma Chao, Gan Ning, Zhao Yun, Cao Zhang, Deng Ai, and Jiang Wei.

They immediately puffed up their chests and held their heads high.

"The five of you are generals in the army, and you will also follow me!"

"Swear to follow the lord to the death!"

The five roared loudly!
In addition, Cao Mao left Chen Gong, Yang Jun, Tian Feng and others in the city.

One is to handle the court affairs with Cao Cao and Xun Yu, and the other is to be responsible for logistics such as material transportation and grain and grass turnover.

A series of orders were passed on quickly.

three days later.

Cao Mao gathered an army of [-] outside the city, and after offering sacrifices to heaven and earth together, he embarked on a mighty journey to Jizhou.

……

Hejian country.

The government is Lecheng County.

Jushou looked at the sand table in front of him solemnly.

Behind him are three advisers, Xin Pi, Xin Ping, and Xun Chen.

"Emissary, do you want to order the two generals Yan Liang and Wen Chou to withdraw?"

Xin Ping on the side suggested softly.

Ju Shou rubbed the corner of the sand table, hesitating a little.

At this moment, a messenger suddenly stepped in from outside the tent, with a cheerful expression on his face,

"My lord, my lord is here!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they all showed joy.

"Quick, take me to meet the lord!"

Ju Shou got up quickly and led Zhang He, Xin Pi and others out of the city.

When they walked outside the city, they saw Cao Jun in neat formation, like an endless dragon, slowly approaching from a distance.

The person walking at the forefront of the army, wearing a silver armor, looks majestic.

The war horse under the seat is covered with scales, and looks extremely fierce!
Who else is it not Cao Mao?

"We greet the lord!"

Everyone hurriedly saluted Cao Mao!
Cao Mao slowly came to them, then got off his horse and said with a smile,

"I haven't seen you for a few months, and Mr. Gong and Mr. are still in style!"

"The lord is joking, but the lord is more wise and powerful now."

Looking at Cao Mao in front of them, Ju Shou and others couldn't help feeling emotional.

months ago.

After Cao Mao left Jizhou for Xudu, they all thought that there was almost no possibility of meeting Cao Mao in this life.

Unexpectedly, Cao Mao made a comeback in Xu Capital City!
Compared with before, Cao Mao, who is now the most powerful person in the Han Dynasty, is even more extraordinary.

"My lord, please!"

Jushou made a gesture of invitation respectfully.

The crowd surrounded Cao Mao and walked towards the city like the stars supporting the moon.

While following Cao Mao, Ju Shou said curiously,
"Why did my lord come so quickly this time, but there is not even a letter?"

"It's not that the lord is worried about the Duke and Mr., so there is no time to have a letter, so he marched all the way and hurried over."

Pang Tong said with a smile.

"It's all due to the incompetence of the subordinates that made the lord work so hard."

Ju Shou said with a face full of self-reproach.

"Sir, you don't have to blame yourself so much, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists."

Cao Mao lightly smiled to comfort Jushou.

conversation room.

Everyone has already stepped into the official office in the city, came to the meeting hall, and took their seats respectively.

"My lord, please let me introduce the current situation to you and everyone."

Ju Shou stood up, holding a slender baton in his hand, and began to explain the situation to everyone.

"Yuan Shang's troops took Yi County as a breakthrough point, forcibly crossed Yishui, and occupied the two cities of Wen'an and Hu County."

"Firstly, because our army was a little careless, we didn't expect Yuan Shang to dare to take the initiative to attack, so he was caught off guard."

"Secondly, Yuan Shang's attack this time, apart from his and Chun Yuqiong's men, there are tens of thousands of Wuhuan cavalry troops!"

Wuhuan Cavalry?

Everyone was stunned.

Wuhuan, a nomadic people in northern China in ancient times.

During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they surrendered to the Han Dynasty and were moved to Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, Liaoxi, and Liaodong five counties outside the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu.

But then they moved south twice in a row, and their power gradually swelled, and they successively occupied the three counties of Liaoxi, Liaodong, and Youbeiping that originally belonged to Youzhou.

In order to deal with Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao canonized the leader of Wuhuan of the three counties as Shan Yu, and helped them form the famous Wuhuan Tuqi.

No wonder Yuan Shao was so courageous and dared to take the initiative to attack, so he found a helper!
