Chapter 020 Return
April, the fourth year of Chuping.
Under the harassment of Cao Ren and Li Dian, Yuan Shu led his army out of the city and started a field battle with the two men. Yuan Shu, who gave up the advantage of defending the city, did not gain any advantage after several fierce battles. Instead, he was defeated by Cao Cao.
Before the main force arrived, his main force was exhausted.
After Cao Cao led his army to Fengqiu, it only took ten days to defeat Yuan Shu until he abandoned the city and fled. Cao Cao's army quickly defeated the remnants of the Black Mountain bandits and the Southern Xiongnu who had been abandoned by Yuan Shu in Fengqiu City. Yu Fuluo had no choice but to do so.
We can only surrender with our troops.
Yuan Shu fled all the way south and stayed in Xiangyi and Ningling for several days. However, he was defeated and retreated south due to lack of food and grass. The highly morale Cao Cao army pursued the victory all the way and finally drove Yuan Shu back to Shouchun. During the pursuit, Yuan Shu was like
A lost dog, if Cao Cao hadn't deliberately spared Yuan Shu's life, Yuan Shu would have died long ago.
In May, Cao Cao wiped out all the remnants of Yuan Shu's party in Chenliu County. When the situation stabilized, Cao Cao led a large army back to Juancheng, leaving only Cao Ren's garrison in Chenliu.
On the return journey, Cao Pi, Cao Zhen, Cao Cao and Cao Cao's new love, Mrs. Sun, rode together. When passing through Suanzao County for a rest, Cao Cao took Cao Pi and Cao Zhen on a hunting trip together. Cao Pi has mastered the skills in the past two years of practice
Although I cannot hunt large beasts due to my limited body function, I can hunt some pheasants and hares without any big problem.
In the evening, the father and son returned home with a full load. Cao Cao saw many people gathered in front of a mansion and did not know what they were doing. In front of the mansion, there were many guards wearing rough cloth and short jackets.
"I have already said that he voluntarily sold his daughter to me. How many times do you want me to say it again?" The leading man was in his twenties, ordinary-looking and luxuriously dressed. He faced the people who gathered in front of the house.
The people shouted angrily, "Get out of here! Don't block the door of my house!"
"It's obvious that you stole Mr. Huan's daughter, please hand her over quickly." A middle-aged man in the crowd scolded.
"It is clearly written in the deed that Huanjiao will sell his daughter Huan to me, Li Yong, for five bolts of silk." The man waved the deed in his hand, his voice became very hoarse, "You guys keep doing this
If you don't leave, I will report myself to the police."
"How can an illiterate person sign the deed you mentioned?" The middle-aged man said reluctantly.
"Ayong, hasn't it been resolved yet?" Just as the two sides were in a stalemate, a fat middle-aged man walked out of the front door. He said to the man who called himself Li Yong, "I told you a long time ago, don't fight with these untouchables.
Be reasonable."
"Catch them all! If you don't want to leave, then don't leave!" The fat middle-aged man's face showed a ferocious look, and he shouted to the guard beside him, "I will go tomorrow
I'm looking for County Lieutenant Zhang. There are yellow turban thieves who want to rob my Li Mansion. I, Li Xu, have done a great job in catching the yellow turban thieves!"
After hearing Li Xu's words, the nursing staff no longer had any scruples. One of them rushed forward and grabbed the middle-aged man who had just argued with Li Yong. He punched the man in the face with a heavy punch. Twenty or so
The unarmed people were surrounded by more than 40 nursing homes, like lambs waiting to be slaughtered.
"Who allowed you to arrest people wantonly?" Cao Cao was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. There were such cruel landowners under his rule. He would accuse more than twenty people of being bandits at the slightest disagreement.<
/p>
"Where did these country bumpkins come from?" Li Xu looked at Cao Cao's three-man bunt and said disdainfully, "You, a hunter, shouldn't mind your own business. Do you think your life is not long enough?"
Cao Cao laughed angrily. He drew out the sword from his waist and rushed towards Li Xu. Cao Cao's imposing manner frightened Li Xu into retreating quickly. More than a dozen guards from the Li Mansion stood in front of Cao Cao.
Cao Cao kicked one of the guards blocking the way and ran towards the swords of the remaining guards. In a moment, four or five people were seriously injured. The two unlucky guards fell into a pool of blood and died before they had a chance to take action.
Breathe.
"If you want to live, put down the weapons in your hands!" Cao Cao recalled his time as a young ranger, his chest bursting with pride, and he shouted to the trembling guards around him.
At this time, the guards no longer had the courage to resist. Under Cao Cao's power, they all dropped their swords and made way for Cao Cao.
Li Xu looked at Cao Cao's fierce look and was about to retreat, but accidentally tripped over the steps under his feet. His fat body collapsed on the ground, unable to get up no matter how hard he rolled, but he looked completely different from the bossy look just now.
"Don't come here! My brother is Li..." Before Li Xu could finish his words, Cao Cao pierced Li Xu's chest with his sword. Blood spurted out in an instant, scaring the people watching the show and the guards into silence.
Cao Cao glared at the trembling Li Yong, and when he was about to ask questions, Li Yong was frightened and fell to the ground and fainted.
"What a waste." Cao Cao looked at Li Yongyong who was motionless on the ground and said with disdain.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhen had never seen Cao Cao like this before, and they were both shocked. The guards did not dare to breathe loudly, for fear that Cao Cao would be angry and follow Li Xu away.
……
The carriage slowly drove into Juancheng. The three-month military life made Cao Pi, who was tired of the ordinary life, feel a little longing. Cao Pi opened the curtain and looked at the scenery of Juancheng outside the carriage. Juancheng had changed in just three months.
There haven't been many changes, but the people around Cao Pi have changed a lot.
Cao Pi was speechless looking at the quiet Huan family on the chariot. Cao Pi never thought that the scene where Cao Cao drew his sword to help him when he saw an injustice on the road that day would finally allow Cao Cao to return home with his beauty in mind.
After Cao Cao killed Li Xu, he rushed into the Li Mansion with the support of the people and rescued the Huan family who was deceived by Li Jiaqiang. A nurse who was loyal to the Li family took advantage of the chaos and ran to the county government office to report the news. By chance, Cheng Yu was there
He summoned the officials in the county to inquire about matters in the county. He was greatly surprised to hear that there were thieves armed with murderous weapons in the county, and immediately notified Xiahou Dun, who was stationed nearby, to lead his troops to the Li Mansion.

Cheng Yu and Xiahou Dun rushed to the Li Mansion. They saw Cao Cao being regarded as a hero by the people and couldn't laugh or cry. Under Cao Cao's gesture of pursing his lips and winking, several people acted out a great drama of a hero slaying a traitor.
Under constant kowtow requests from the people, Cheng Yu calmly pardoned the crime of Orion Cao Wulian, and by the way promoted the people-loving policy of Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, the governor of Yanzhou, and won the applause of all the people present.
Amidst the crowds and uproar of the common people, Cao Cao fell in love with the Huan family for life. Cao Pi and Cao Zhen also changed from Cao Cao's sons to Cao Wulian's younger brothers. The two even attended Cao Cao's wedding banquet together.
On the way back, Li Dian came to apologize, and Cao Pi found out that Li Xu, who was killed by Cao Cao himself, was Li Dian's brother. Cao Cao magnanimously did not argue with Li Dian, and after some comfort, Li Dian left respectfully.<

……
"Let mom take a look..."
"Why did Zihuan get tanned?"
"Zi Dan has lost a lot of weight."
During the days when the two brothers went to war with Cao Cao, the Bian family was always worried about the safety of Cao Pi and Cao Zhen. When Cao Cao wanted to take Cao Pi and Cao Zhen to the battlefield, the Bian family was actually very reluctant. Now that they have returned safely,
Cao Cao also drove away the invading Yuan Shu, and everyone was happy.
"Zihuan, Zidan, you have grown a lot taller." Just when Cao Pi was immersed in the joy of returning home, a familiar voice came from behind him.
"Brother! When did you go home?" Cao Pi and Cao Zhen asked in unison.
"I just came back the day before yesterday." Cao Ang said with a smile, "My father transferred me back to Juancheng. I won't leave home for a while."
"That's great." Cao Zhen said happily, "Where is Zilin? Is he back too?"
"Zilin still wants to accompany Uncle Yuan Rang. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for a while." Cao Ang said.
Under Cao Ang's organization, the brothers gathered in the backyard again. Although only half a year had passed, great changes had taken place in the brothers.
Cao Ang has lost the childishness of a boy, and his gestures and gestures reveal a mature atmosphere, but his concern for his younger siblings has only increased.
Cao Shuo did not become haggard because of his busy work, but his belief in striving for the benefit of the people made him radiant, sweeping away the feeling of being sick and sick.
Cao Yun seemed to have changed since Cao Ang left home. Cao Yun, who had always been naughty and lively, has now become very peaceful. Cao Pi doesn't know whether Cao Yun has grown up in an instant or is troubled by something.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhen have also grown a lot. In addition to their tanned skin and leaner bodies, they also have a more intuitive understanding of war and death.
Among the Cao family brothers, the only ones who have not changed are probably Cao Zhen, who clamors to be a general every day, and Cao Zhi, who is still in his infancy.
"Brother, tell me the story of when you were a general." Cao Zhang turned into starry eyes and looked at Cao Ang expectantly.
"Ziwen, eldest brother did not become a general." Cao Zhen took the trouble to explain to Cao Zhang.
"My eldest brother has already led troops, so why isn't he a general? Yesterday I saw my eldest brother passing through the West Market with many soldiers. He looked so majestic." Cao Zhang said innocently.
"Eldest brother has led the troops now?" Cao Pi asked confused after hearing this. In today's Cao Cao military group, only a few people have military power, such as subordinates of Xiahou Dun or Cao Hong, who lead troops when traveling in Juancheng.
It requires Cao Cao’s personal approval.
"Yesterday I went to Xiying to check the supplies and supplies. Recently, there have been cases of corruption in the army." Cao Ang said helplessly, "Most of the troops I checked had more or less inaccuracies. Father,
Mr. He Wenruo has thought of many solutions to this matter, but there is still no way to completely solve it."
"We all know how to reach out, so naturally it's not easy to solve." Cao Shuo said dissatisfied.
"Be careful! Zizhao, you can't talk nonsense. You need to provide evidence for such things." Cao Ang said seriously.
"Uncle Zilian took a batch of armor and weapons from the army back home yesterday. Many people know about it. The eldest brother will know it when he asks." Cao Shuo said reluctantly.
