He lost nearly [-] cavalry and robbed [-] horses. He lost the most and killed the most enemies. This credit should be his.

Cao Shuo continued: "I don't want compensation or anything else. If you have soldiers with minor injuries, as long as you are willing to serve under my account, I can give you a share of the family allowance for the deceased."

"Nima!"

The princes were shocked. The rich are different, and they openly bought and sold soldiers.

"How is it? Does anyone want to trade for me? If you don't treat for a long time and become seriously injured, I'm not interested."

Cao Shuo began to make up his own little calculations. Slightly injured soldiers showed that they had contributed their strength on the battlefield. Such experience is usually not bought. Now that there is a ready opportunity, he wished that the princes would send all the wounded soldiers.

He has plenty of medicinal materials, and he is not short of salary, but he lacks experienced soldiers.

Zhang Yang said: "I'll change it for you, but I don't want money, you can offset part of the food and grass I owe!"

"I think you are poor enough, so let's do it like this, 50 shi of food, one slightly injured soldier, and one slightly injured horse."

"I'll change!"

"I'll change!"

"I'll change!"

The eighteen princes, except Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei, all came to Cao Shuo for a deal.

Cao Cao really admired Cao Shuo's wisdom, and he made sure that the princes didn't want to heal the wounded by himself, so he offered such a generous condition.

With this bet alone, Cao Shuo theoretically obtained 1000 to [-] cavalry. Of course, the princes did not have that many cavalry, but just like this, Cao Shuo obtained more than [-] cavalry from the princes.

This is simply an empty-handed white wolf, but it is a bit of a waste of medicine and money.

Yuan Shao tried to ask: "Caozhou Mu, I don't know how to buy medicinal materials from you?"

"I don't sell medicinal materials. If you have wounded soldiers and horses, you can trade with me."

"My grass!"

Yuan Shao was very depressed. This guy must have monopolized the medicinal materials on the market in advance.

"Exchange or not, I still have work to do. I just captured a general, and I'm still waiting for me to persuade him to surrender."

Yuan Shao asked with black lines all over his head: "Who is Cao Zhoumu arresting?"

"Lu Bu's subordinate Wei Xu!"

"Uh……"

Yuan Shao lost interest in an instant. He thought that Cao Shuo had captured Lu Bu, but it turned out to be Lu Bu's general.

When Cao Shuo returned to his camp in the city, more than 1 wounded soldiers and horses were already in place.

"Zilong, escort these soldiers to Yecheng, and Zhang Yan will send someone to treat them. I have sent the prescription to Yecheng."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo walked into his tent, Lu Wen and that Wei Xu were talking about something, seeing Cao Shuo coming in, Wei Xu bowed.

"Wei Xu has met the lord!"

"You're welcome in your spare time!"

Lu Wen pulled Cao Shuo and said, "Husband, Uncle Wei and my father are cousins. If Uncle Wei came to join us, I think my father would not embarrass Uncle's family."

"I think my father-in-law must be in trouble!"

Lu Wen asked curiously, "Why?"

"Because I was on the battlefield, when I saw Dong Zhuo's soldiers, I shouted, father-in-law, you go and kill Dong Zhuo, and I will be in charge of cleaning up the soldiers!"

Lu Wen and Wei Xu had blue veins popping out of their heads, this guy is too ruthless, what if Dong Zhuo suspects Lu Bu and arrests him?
"Husband, are you planning to force my father to betray Dong Zhuo?"

"It's better to leave. Dong Zhuo's life is not long. I'm afraid my father-in-law will be implicated."

"Where does your husband think it is better to go?"

"Bingzhou, it's next to Jizhou. If he goes to the Central Plains, the land of the Four Wars, with his father-in-law's character, he will definitely not fully follow the counselor's advice, and he will definitely suffer at that time."

"Thank you husband!"

Cao Shuo looked at Wei Xu and said, "Uncle Gongyu, go back and tell my father-in-law what I mean. If he can trust him, leave Luoyang as soon as possible, the sooner the better."

"The last general vows to follow the lord to the death!"

"I asked you to go back to deliver the news, not to continue to work for Lu Bu!"

Lu Wen rolled her eyes, you are too calculating.

"The last general takes orders!"

After Wei Xu left, Lu Wen asked cautiously: "Husband, why did you let father go to Bingzhou? Wouldn't it be good to recruit him to Jizhou?"

"It's called making the best use of everything! He can't obey my arrangement in Jizhou? With his father-in-law's character, he might not follow suit. In Bingzhou, he can do whatever he wants. If I don't have enough manpower, it will be no problem to borrow a few generals from your natal family." Bar."

Lu Wen looked at Cao Shuo in amazement, and said in disbelief, "Husband, what you think is so beautiful!"

"I can't help it. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are too good. I really want to recruit them, but I'm afraid they won't."

"Anyway, Uncle Gao Shun is impossible."

"So borrowing talents is the most reliable."

"Husband, shall we continue to attack Hulao Pass?"

Cao Shuo hadn't thought about this issue yet, and Dong Zhuo had only lost [-] cavalry, which didn't hurt him at all.

If Lv Bu leaves and joins the state, it may really reduce Dong Zhuo's strength.

"I've fought hard with Lu Bu for so long, the old wounds have recurred, and new wounds have been added, so let's go back to Jizhou to recuperate."

"What? Husband, where are you hurt!"

Lu Wen excitedly checked Cao Shuo's body, but she didn't find any wounds on Cao Shuo's body after searching for a long time.

"Why are you excited? I'm just talking."

"Ah, you actually lied to me, making me excited for a long time!"

On February 190th, [-] AD, Cao Shuo asked Yuan Shao to resign and returned to Jizhou to recuperate. Yuan Shao agreed without hesitation.

If Cao Shuo wasn't there, he would be the real leader as the leader. It's really aggrieved to hang on to the title of leader all day long and act according to Cao Shuo's face.

"My lords, don't worry about it. Just remember to send me the food and grass to Jizhou. If you want to exchange it with other things, you can also. Send someone to Jizhou to discuss with me. I will definitely satisfy you."

Satisfied ass, you cannibalistic little bastard.

Cao Shuo left the allied army camp with all his subordinates and the resentment of the Eighteenth Route princes.

Cao Cao escorted him all the way to the bank of the Yellow River, where Zhang Yan's army could be seen waiting for Cao Shuo across the river.

Cao Cao asked with concern: "Sho'er, are you really alright?"

"Wouldn't it be better to die, and you'll be relieved!"

"My father knew it was wrong. I shouldn't have left you alone in Luoyang. After you recover from your injury, how about you come back here to see your mother?"

Cao Shuo didn't say anything more, and returned to Yecheng in a small boat with Cao Cao's regrets.

He felt that the feudal lords would soon fall apart, so he took advantage of the gap during this period to prepare some materials for the scramble for territory.

"My lord, Lord Xun Yu, please see me!"

Cao Shuo was full of doubts, Xun Yu didn't let him manage the affairs of the state capital in the letter, why did he come here?
