Three Kingdoms: The rebellious son of the Cao family, who robbed the Zou family at the beginning

Two hours later, Lao Cao explained the specific military affairs of Shouchun and Yuzhou.

So he took Xiahou Dun, Guo Jia, Xun You and others and started on the way back.

And Cao Xuan naturally followed Lao Cao, but this time there were only Yan Qing and eighteen Yan Qi around.

Yu Wencheng, Di Qing, and Xia Houmao disappeared without a trace, including the Xuanjia Army and thousands of soldiers under their command.

Naturally, such a huge change in the number of people cannot be hidden from the shrewd old Cao.

"You rebellious son, where are the men and horses under your command?"

Cao Xuan hesitated.

"Well, I asked them to return with General Yu Jin."

Cao Cao's face was full of doubts, this kid usually wanted to tie the Xuanjia Army to his body.

Wherever I go, I am afraid of death.

Why is it so abnormal this time?

No, I'm afraid this rebellious son has some crooked ideas again.

With a muffled snort, he seemingly inadvertently warned:

"Don't cause me any trouble again, Yuan Shu's strength is already at its limit."

"Even if he is left alone, he may not be able to walk out of the boundaries of Yuzhou."

Cao Xuan laughed: "No, I just thought that nothing would happen on the way back."

"The Xuanjia army is a heavy cavalry, and the speed is not fast, but it is better to follow behind."

Cao Cao couldn't help but twitched his lips when he heard that Cao Xuan's words were made up.

I don't care too much about this rebellious son, it's really abusive.

Then suddenly thought of something, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"You can't be... hiding some treasure, right?"

"How can I, father, don't talk nonsense, everything must be based on evidence."

The corner of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and he didn't know whether to call this Nizi smart or stupid.

But he also understood Cao Xuan's intention in his heart, nodded and hummed in satisfaction.

"Eight two."

"make a deal."

"I'm talking about me eight and you two."

"That's still 55."

"Hmph, count you acquainted."

Cao Cao raised his head proudly, his eyes filled with smiles.

To be able to pluck two wools from this rebel's body seemed to me happier than winning a battle.

Seeing that Cao Xuan knew how to choose, he nodded in satisfaction, and reminded again:

"Hmph, remember one more thing, Yuan Shu's empress, Mrs. Feng, has died in Shouchun."

"Your concubine named Feng has nothing to do with the rebellion."

Cao Xuan was surprised.

"What Yuan Shu's queen? What Feng family?"

"My concubine's room is called Ma Shi, and the water is gone."

"A rebellious son... abusive."

..........

The army rushed all the way, but it still took more than a month before they returned to Xudu.

Before the army approached the capital city of Xudu, Cao Xuan saw the scene of hundreds of officials waiting outside the city from a distance.

The mighty crowd was all dressed in court uniforms and official hats.

It's just that this time the scene was even more magnificent, even the frame of the emperor was in the center of the crowd.

There are countless people behind him, spontaneously standing on both sides waiting for Lao Cao to return in triumph.

After all, compared to the conquest of a petty vigilante like Zhang Xiu, and a brazen proclaimed emperor and anti-thief like Yuan Shu, the difference in treatment is quite big.

Eliminate the traitor Yuan Shu, no matter the princes or the people of the world.

There will be a little more awe towards the Han Dynasty, at least for Lao Cao's face, and there will be some concerns in my heart.

But one thing to say, Lao Cao's cards are getting bigger and bigger.

It was the first time Cao Xuan met Liu Xie, and he was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

But the expression is mature and solemn, wearing a dragon robe and sitting high.

After Lao Cao approached with the army, Liu Xie stepped down from Long Yu himself.

With a happy face, he walked forward and greeted him quickly, and shouted excitedly in his mouth:

"Aiqing, you are back."

When Lao Cao saw this, he also had an expression of harmony between the monarch and his subjects.

Hastily turned over and got off the horse, walked quickly to meet the upper half and knelt down.

However, he was only halfway down on his knees when he was dragged back by the witty Liu Xie.

"Aiqing, what are you doing? You are the pillar of my great man. I have authorized you to enter the court and not worship."

"What's more, this time you crusade against the rebels and returned victorious, you are a great hero of my big man."

Lao Cao also bowed his hands modestly.

"This is the duty of a minister. What's more, all the officers and men use their lives and dare not claim credit."

The emperor personally greeted him, and Lao Cao also came forward to greet him.

Naturally, the people behind them didn't dare to make too much of a fuss, and they even got off their horses with Cao Xuan, half kneeling on the ground.

Although I was upset in my heart, I still had to live with my face.

This is also Lao Cao's method. Although what you say doesn't count, you deserve the treatment you deserve.

The title and etiquette of the Son of Heaven, I will give you everything I lack.

You just need to be a cannon mount for me honestly, and it's over when I shoot you.

We live in peace and harmony, and the host and guest enjoy themselves.

Liu Xie was also smiling, without any airs.

"What is Aiqing talking about? If there is no Aiqing helping the generals of the Han Dynasty, I will have no face to face my ancestors."

Only then did he look behind Cao Cao, and gestured grandly with his hand.

"All the soldiers, let's get down, I've worked hard for you along the way."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone shouted in unison, and then stood up again.

Things have progressed to this point, and the next step should have been Liu Xie letting Cao Cao enter the city and having a banquet to celebrate the victory.

However, Liu Xie cast his eyes on a group of Cao Ying soldiers, as if he was looking for something.

After a while, his eyes lit up and he pointed in Cao Xuan's direction accurately.

"Is this General Cao Xuan? I've heard about it, and they raided Shouchun along the way."

"General Cao Xuan is the first achievement. It is true that a tiger father has no sons. Cao Aiqing gave birth to a good son."

Hearing that Liu Xie turned the topic to Cao Xuan, Lao Cao couldn't help but be puzzled.

Hastily opened his mouth to laugh and said: "The dog is ignorant and incompetent, this time he just hit the right one, which made His Majesty laugh."

· · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?

"You rebellious son, you haven't stepped forward to thank His Majesty."

Hearing Lao Cao's reminder, Cao Xuan reluctantly took a few steps forward.

He came to Lao Cao's side and bowed to Liu Xie.

"It's all my duty, thank you Your Majesty for your praise!"

Although there are a hundred reluctances in my heart, Lao Cao will not oppose it for a day.

The Son of Heaven is the Son of Heaven after all, even if he is an extremely human minister, the courtesy he should have is still the same.

But in my heart, I have already made up my mind to deal with Liu Xie less in the future.

There is no way, the waist is too hard, and it is uncomfortable to worship.

Cao Xuan didn't expect that Liu Xie would give him the same treatment as Lao Cao.

He didn't open his mouth to excuse himself, but instead came up and gently grabbed his hand and helped him up.

With a warm smile in his eyes: "Well, the general is very polite."

"With Aiqing and his son supporting each other, just like Emperor Wu has Weihuo, why worry about the Han Dynasty being unhappy!"

"Hahaha, I have prepared a banquet in the palace to celebrate Aiqing's triumphant return."

"Ai Qing, please!"

"Please, Your Majesty first!"

.........

Seeing Liu Xie leading all the officials to re-enter Xudu city gate, Cao Xuan couldn't help frowning secretly.

This Liu Xie is very interesting, at least not as incompetent as it sounds.

Lao Cao has also put away his smiling face at this time, and the expression on his face makes people feel a little uneasy.

After Liu Xie and Baiguan left, they brought Cao Xuan into Xudu.

The surrounding people cheered along the road, constantly shouting Cao Sikong's mighty words.

.... . . .

Only then did Lao Cao smile again, waving his hand and nodding as a gesture.

After entering Xudu, the banquet in the imperial palace did not start until evening.

I and Lao Cao still have some time to bathe and change clothes, and arrange military affairs.

Naturally, Lao Cao couldn't rest for a moment, and hurried away with Guo Jia and Xun You.

On the contrary, Cao Xuan had nothing to do, and only Yan Qing and Yan Wei were by his side.

Oh, I almost forgot my military advisor Jia Laohu.

In other words, this old boy, even if he is by his side.

But this sense of existence is really low, I don't pay attention to it.

The old fox was hiding in the crowd, as if he was afraid of remembering.

There was a chuckle at the corner of his mouth, and he waved at Jia Xu.

When the latter reluctantly stepped forward, he frowned and asked.

"Mr. Wenhe, I saw something wrong with Lao Cao's expression just now, and after thinking about it, I didn't find anything wrong."

"Just trouble Wen He to explain my confusion."

Sure enough, when Jia Xu heard this, he couldn't help but show a bitter look on his old face.

You little fox, you are a master of Yin-Yang language yourself.

I can't understand this bit of rhetoric, you are just looking for something to do for me when you have nothing to do.

He sighed helplessly, but still looked around alertly.
