Abnormal Three Kingdoms

Chapter 494 The Opportunity of the Cao Family

The Cao Mansion was the mansion that Yuan Shao placed for the Cao family. Except that he didn’t use it highly, Yuan Shao treated the Cao family well. The Cao family generals who came here lived the rest of their lives in abundance.

As for the others, except for Xun You who was reused by Yuan Shao as an aide, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Xiu, Cao Zhen, and Le Jin were all left idle in Yecheng and basically did not give full play to their talents. room for talent.

Although he had made similar psychological preparations, he still couldn't help feeling aggrieved when he reached this point.

At this moment in the Cao Mansion, the generals of the Cao family, including Le Jin, were chatting idly in the courtyard. Yuan Shao had no shortage of generals. Although they were not considered generals, their situation might be worse than that of the generals.

"Ziwen, rest for a while!" Looking at Cao Zhang who was struggling with strength, Cao Hong couldn't help but said, "What's the use of this kind of training, so what if you can be braver than Lu Bu? No one wants me to wait." , can only waste all his abilities."

I came here out of revenge, but they don't use it, what can you do?
"There is always time to use it!" Cao Zhang said with a smile while building up his strength: "This method of visualization is already something that everyone can learn in the Central Plains. If I don't wait for the Qin family to practice, after a few years, maybe Anyone who is as brave as me, even if he is able to lead the army, I'm afraid he can only watch helplessly, I don't think I will regret it at that time!"

Originally, Yuan Shao did not intend to give the technique of visualization to the Cao family.

But after all, the Cao family was a big prince who dominated the Central Plains in the past, and they still have some connections. Not only are Xu You and Xun You taking care of them here, but there are also many old Cao family members in the army. How can such things be concealed? live them?

After acquiring this method, Cao Zhang has practiced almost day and night, and now even when he sleeps, he is replaced by the idea of ​​cultivation meditation. In the boy's eyes, there is a fire that no one else has.

The hatred for Lu Bu and the longing for the battlefield are the root of his endless stream, constantly forcing himself to become stronger.

He believed that one day, he would stand in front of Lu Bu and avenge his father.

Cao Ren and the others fell silent when they heard the words. Cao Hong stood up, looked at Cao Zhang and suddenly grinned and said, "Come, let uncle see what you are capable of."

"Okay!" Cao Zhang nodded, and then punched out, causing the whole courtyard to tremble.

Cao Hong crossed his hands on his chest, and received a solid punch, with a huge force, he couldn't help but backed up a few steps, and looked at Cao Zhang with some surprise: "My boy, I'm afraid this strength has surpassed mine. !"

Xia Houyuan and Cao Ren also looked at Cao Zhang in surprise, while Cao Pi's eyes brightened, and he looked at his second brother.

The two fought back and forth, and fought more than 20 moves in the courtyard. Cao Hong couldn't stand it any longer, and quickly backed away: "Stop fighting!"

He said with a sigh: "It seems that in the past two years in Jizhou, I have really slacked off."

Cao Hong is a general who followed Cao Cao in the southern and northern wars, and has experienced countless battles. Cao Cao has almost never lost in every battle. Although his martial arts are not high, he can be included in the ranks of the second-rate top and even the first-rate in the world. Was beaten by a 14 years old boy and fell into a disadvantage.

Cao Ren also sat up, looked at Cao Zhang and said, "Ziwen is probably enough to be ranked among the most popular in the world in terms of bravery, even under Yuan Shao's command, there may not be many who can beat Ziwen."

In the fight against Cao Hong just now, Cao Xian obviously has the absolute advantage, and judging by Cao Zhang's appearance, there is obviously still room for it. If Cao Zhang grows up for a few more years, he will not be as good as Lu Bu, and he may be enough to step into the ranks of top experts.

The generation of the Cao family is full of talented people, but it is a pity that Cao Ang died early, otherwise the two brothers would be able to create a new situation.

Cao Hong nodded, shook his numb arm, and punched Cao Zhang hard on the chest: "Little bastard, I don't know how to hold back some strength."

Just as he was talking, he saw the servant rushing over and said to Cao Pi, "Master, Mr. Ziyuan is here to visit."

"Please." Cao Pi hurriedly stood up, and the others also stood up.

Since they entered Jizhou, Xu You has taken care of them a lot, helping them both openly and secretly. Everyone in the Cao family is really grateful to Xu You. It was all secretly sent by Xu You, so that they would not be left behind.

"Uncle Ziyuan." Cao Pi took Cao Zhang, Cao Ren, Cao Zhi and others out to meet Xu You. Cao Pi and his two younger brothers bowed to him, saying that Xu You was a benefactor of the Cao family.

Cao Ren and the others also saluted together: "Mr. Ziyuan, I haven't been here for a long time."

"Recently, Chu Nan sent his troops to the north, and you were busy discussing with the lord how to defeat the enemy. No wonder." Xu You was very satisfied with the attitude of the members of the Cao family. He shook his head and sighed. Surrounded by the members of the Cao family, he entered the main hall. .

"A fight?" Cao Ren looked at Xu You and asked in a deep voice.

"Yeah." Xu You nodded, looked at Cao Pi, then at Cao Ren and said, "Just last night, that Zhang Wenyuan raided Lihu Ferry and lost three cities in one night. My lord was furious!"

"The strategy of the arrogant soldiers, the soldiers stationed for a long time will naturally slack off, and they should be rotated every few days so that the soldiers will not lose their vigilance." Xia Houyuan gave his own opinion.

The strategy of arrogant soldiers is actually not a brilliant strategy. After all, with Chu Nan's previous temperament, he was not such an easy loser. If he only defends but does not attack, there must be other considerations.

But here is the problem, even if you know that the opponent is an arrogant strategy, you don't know when the opponent will attack. Even if the guard has been on guard, it is easy to slack off after a long time.

"But for you and others, it's a good thing." Xu You said with a smile.

"What do you mean by uncle's words?" Cao Pi asked Xu You with a flash of his eyes.

"My lord is now defending against Lu Bu, so it is difficult for the strong generals around him to attack, but that Zhang Liao is also a strong general under Lu Bu's command, and the generals who wait for him are not his opponents. If we let him continue to advance, I am afraid that Li Yang will not be able to protect him. Therefore, I recommend it to the lord. Cai is the main general, Zihe and Wen Lie are the deputy generals, with [-] soldiers, going to guard Liyang, to protect Liyang, is this wonderful talent?" Xu You looked at Xia Houyuan and said with a smile.

Shocked, Xia Houyuan clasped his fists at Xu You and said, "Of course the general is willing!"

He and Zhang Liao were also considered old rivals. When Lu Bu attacked Xuchang, Xia Houyuan confronted Zhang Liao in the area of ​​Pengcheng, and later the battlefield moved to Dongping.

"Although the lord is looking for the three Miaocai, in my opinion, it's better to go with a few more people." Xu You looked at the crowd and said, "Of course, Zi Xiao needs to stay. In this battle, Yan Liang, Wen Chou and those from Hebei I need to stay by the lord's side to deal with Lu Bu, and I'm afraid there will still be room for employment in the future, so Zixiao stays on standby at any time."

Cao Ren nodded, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you sir for mediating!"

Without Xu You, it would be difficult for them to get the opportunity to lead troops.

"I have made friends with Meng De, and now that Meng De has gone, I should take care of you." Xu You waved his hand and said, "This time, we won [-] soldiers and horses only for the sake of cleverness, but don't be discouraged, as long as this battle can be won I will definitely speak to my lord and send more troops to you!"

"Ten thousand, if it's just to defend the city, it's enough, and we will definitely keep Liyang alive!" Xia Houyuan said in a deep voice, saluting Xu Yousu.

Xu You still believed in the abilities of the generals of the Cao family.

"If this battle is won, and you have made military achievements, my lord will have no reason to idle you in the future. Don't slack off this opportunity!" Xu You instructed.

"Don't worry, sir!" Cao Ren nodded, and suddenly saluted Xu You: "Sir, this kindness will be etched in my heart forever, and I will never forget it in this lifetime!"

"Small matter, small matter, these are the official documents and the general seal. The matter of Li Yang is imminent, and we need to leave today!" Xu You handed the documents and the general seal to Xia Houyuan, and said with a smile.

All the generals of the Cao family are good generals. If they can stand up, they will naturally be the generals of their own line in the future, and they will also make up for the gap that the Yingchuan faction has no generals under Yuan Shao's command. They are enough to compete with the generals of the Jizhou line .

"The last general takes orders!" Xia Houyuan Surong took the document and general seal from Xu You, and saluted Xu You again.

"There are other things to be busy, so I won't stay any longer." After the matter is over, Xu You would stay to exchange feelings if it was the past, but now, the battle between Yuan and Chu broke out, and he still has a lot of things to deal with, so it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he got up immediately leave.

Cao Pi and others sent Xu You outside the door all the way before returning.

"Uncle Ziyuan has helped me a lot, and this kindness will never be forgotten." Cao Pi sighed with emotion.

The others also nodded silently, Xu You may have selfish intentions, but so what?No one in this world has selfish intentions, but the kindness people treat themselves is real.

After a moment of emotion, Cao Pi looked at Xia Houyuan and said, "Uncle Miaocai, this battle is of great importance to my Cao family, whoever you take with you, uncle just choose someone."

"Ziwen will go with me!" Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Zhang and said, "Such a strong general, it's time to let the world know that my Cao family has not fallen!"

"Zhang takes orders!" Cao Zhang quickly agreed, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Only bring Ziwen?" Cao Pi felt a little uneasy.

"That's enough. There may be room for employing people in the future. When Zixiao goes to war, he can't have no one around. Don't forget about Wen Qian. We'll move in these days and be ready to go to war at any time." Xia Houyuan nodded You can't take all of your brains to Liyang. It's better for the Cao family to control more military power. To achieve this, you can't rely on yourself alone. Cao Ren also has the talent of a general, even superior to him. It's a pity to go together , might as well stay and see if there are other opportunities.

If they can lead two groups of soldiers and horses to fight, then as long as they win a few battles, the position of the Cao family will be considered stable in a few weeks.

"Okay, it's not too late. Uncle is on his way as soon as possible." Cao Pi nodded, looked at Xia Houyuan and said, this matter cannot be delayed!
"Ah."
