Night fell in Wancheng, and more than a dozen knights rode tall horses on the empty streets. The sound of horse hoofbeats was very clear and crisp.

"Uncle Six, thank you for being here today, otherwise things would have been a big deal."

Cao Ang sighed.

"Haha, I'm a member of my family, so there's no need to be polite."

Waving his hands and smiling, he said that at noon he was practicing shooting at home, and received a report from his subordinates that a mass riot broke out in the military camp outside the city, with thousands of soldiers participating. Cao Ang could not suppress it, so he asked him to go over and take charge.

After Zhang Xiu surrendered, Cao Cao ordered people to build four military camps around Wancheng to accommodate Cao's army and the Xiliang army. The four military camps were not far apart for convenient supplies and surveillance.

There are several markets in the military camp, including food, drink, prostitution and gambling industries, to meet the material and physiological needs of tens of thousands of soldiers. Otherwise, if tens of thousands of men stay together with nothing to do, it is easy for something to happen.

Just like this time, there was an initial dispute between several Cao soldiers and Xiliang soldiers in the brothel. The officers favored Cao Jun, and the Xiliang soldiers were not angry.

Comparable to the damage caused by a small-scale battle.

Cao Xin led more than a hundred Langya cavalry into the center of the riot and killed several people in a row. Under his strong suppression, the rioting soldiers gradually calmed down and knelt down to apologize.

What happened later became simpler. Those who deserved to be killed were killed, those who deserved to be caught were caught, and those who deserved to be punished were punished. After a bloody process, the military camp slowly returned to calm.

But Cao Xin felt that the hidden danger was still there.

The Xiliang army is a proud and powerful general. They have followed warlord leaders such as Dong Zhuo, Fan Chou, Li Jue, Guo Si, Zhang Ji, etc. They have poor discipline and it is difficult to integrate into Cao's army.

The composition of Cao's army is also relatively complex. There are Qingzhou soldiers, Yanzhou soldiers, Xuzhou soldiers, yellow scarf soldiers who surrendered, bandits, and servant soldiers of aristocratic families. There are all kinds of problems.

It is difficult to bring these people together in a short period of time.

"Uncle Liu, I am going to propose to my father that we divide the Xiliang Army into two parts. One part will be obedient and incorporated into our army. Each general will recruit several hundred people. The other part will be given to the original Xiliang generals to form an independent Xiliang Army.

Flag, what do you think, Uncle Six?"

Cao Ang asked with a frown.

Cao Xin thought about it and felt that it was feasible, but giving the Xiliang army an independent banner and using Xiliang generals to lead the troops would inevitably lead to the problem of listening to the instructions but not the propaganda.

For example, if Cao Cao ordered the Xiliang army to attack the city, they would think that they were going to die and refuse to carry out the order. If they were ordered to go for emergency rescue, they would refuse to go or go later, which would have a great impact.

Cao Cao was a military strategist and would not allow such hidden dangers to exist within the army.

Cao Xin expressed his doubts to Cao Ang.

Cao Ang nodded helplessly, "The Xiliang Army is very powerful in combat. If we can use it well, it can become a sharp sword in our hands. If we don't use it well, we will be stabbed by the sword. The Prime Minister has also been having a headache recently and can't sleep because of the problem of the Xiliang Army.

, I really hope I have a good way to solve this problem."

"Don't be in a hurry, take your time!"

Cao Xing patted him on the shoulder with his riding crop.

Kick da da~kick da da~

Suddenly, there was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the street ahead.

It was Liao Hua who came on horseback.

"General, eldest son!"

Liao Hua clasped his fists and saluted the two, and said, "General, General Cao Hong led two hundred soldiers to break down the gate of Zhang's mansion and took away Mrs. Zou by force. General Zhang sent someone to ask the general to come forward and take back Mrs. Zou."

"Uncle Hong went to Zhang Xiu's house to rob someone? How is this possible?"

Cao Ang shouted in surprise.

Cao Xin was stunned for a moment, a little excited.

Unofficial histories say that the cause of Cao Cao's defeat in Wancheng was Mrs. Zou. One time, Cao Cao got drunk and asked his surroundings if there were any prostitutes in the city. His generals said they saw a beautiful woman in Zhang Xiu's house and asked Cao Cao if he wanted her. Cao Cao said hurry up.

Later, his generals and soldiers snatched Mrs. Zou, causing Zhang Xiu to rebel.

Is this going to happen? It's time to earn attribute points.

"Yuanjian, when did it happen?"

"In front of a stick of incense, General Cao Hong has left Zhang's Mansion and is heading to the Prime Minister's temporary residence from Cross Street."

Liao Hua said.

"Chase!"

Cao Xin raised his whip, and the war horse neighed, raised its hooves, and galloped down the street.

——

"General, there is no one chasing you in the general's mansion."

On the cross street, a knight chased Cao Honghui from behind and reported.

"Pooh!"

Cao Hong spat on the ground, "That Zhang Xiu is indeed a waste. I came to snatch his aunt away, and he didn't even dare to fart. Cao San, if this news gets out tomorrow, I will never be able to lift Zhang Xiu."

Get started."

"Yes, Master."

Cao San chuckled.

"By the way, I would like to give you a hint, saying that Mrs. Zou and Cao Xin had a close relationship, and they even made a private marriage for life. However, in order to please the prime minister, Cao Xin took the initiative to give up Mrs. Zou. He is unkind and unrighteous, and has no shame in giving away his daughter for honor."

Cao Hong sneered with his eyes narrowed.

"Hey, I understand, little one."

Cao San smiled flatteringly.

Kick tap tap~kick tap tap~

The sound of horse hooves came from the street, breaking the tranquility of the street.

Cao Hong reined in his horse and looked up, only to see Cao Xin leading more than a dozen cavalrymen, rushing towards them. There were dust and blood stains on the armored horses, as if they had just returned from the battlefield.

Cao Hong grinned and thought to himself, Cao Xin and Mrs. Zou are indeed having an affair, otherwise why would they rush here in such a hurry? Hehe, things seem to be more interesting.

"Cao Zilian, you did a good job!"

Cao Xin shouted.

"Haha, Cao Xiaoliu, what did I do to make you so angry?"

Cao Hong laughed and said.

"Cao Zilian, Zhang Xiu is General Yangwu and is a colleague of mine. However, you led troops to break into General Zhang's residence and forcibly took away General Zhang's relatives. It is too presumptuous."

Cao Xin reined in his horse and scolded.

"Uncle Hong, are you really going to show off your power to the general's mansion and rob people?"

Cao Ang looked at the carriage and asked.

"Zixiu, don't listen to Cao Ziyu's nonsense. I just paid a visit to Zhang Xiu's house and said that the Prime Minister lacked people to serve him in Wancheng. Zhang Xiu was very sensible after hearing this and offered Mrs. Zou. I didn't snatch her.

.”

Cao Hong chuckled and looked at Cao Xin, "Cao Ziyu, Mrs. Zou also volunteers to serve the Prime Minister. Why are you anxious? Is the rumor true? Do you like Mrs. Zou?"

Cao Xin raised his eyebrows and said, "Cao Zilian, don't talk nonsense. Everyone knows that the Prime Minister is busy with official duties every day and doesn't even have time to eat. How can he find a woman to serve him?

And everyone in the world knows that the Prime Minister is a good man who is clean and self-sufficient. He is loyal to his several sisters-in-law at home and never flirts with women outside. How could a good man like him let you come out to steal women? Cao Zilian, I advise you to speak.

Be careful and don’t slander the Prime Minister’s innocent reputation, otherwise I’ll have no fun with you!”

Cao Hong's face turned dark. Is the prime minister keeping himself clean? Is the prime minister loyal? Which dynasty are you talking about?

"Uncle Hong, Uncle Six is ​​right. My father is busy with official duties every day and will not find a woman to accompany him at this time."

Cao Ang shook his head.

"Zixiu, don't think too much. The Prime Minister is just talking to Mrs. Zou about poetry, nothing else." Cao Hong glared at Cao Xin, "Cao Xiaoliu gets out of the way, the Prime Minister is still waiting, I don't have time."

Sorry to talk to you."

"Cao Hong, you can leave, but the carriage must stay. If the carriage is taken away by you, the Prime Minister will be stigmatized as lustful, lustful, and immoral. As a minister, I will never allow anyone to slander the Prime Minister."

Cao Xin said calmly.

"It's nonsense. We are fighting outside. Who doesn't sleep with women? What's wrong with the Prime Minister sleeping with one? Don't mess around here."

Cao Hong refuted.

Cao Xin shook his head, "I don't care about others, but not the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. In the future, he will be the one who summons Duke Zhou, a saint. There must be no stain on him. As a brother, I have the responsibility to clear everything for him.

.”

"Asshole!"

Cao Hong was so angry that he drew out his sword with a cry, pointed at Cao Xin and shouted, "Cao Ziyu, I ask you again, do you want to get out of the way or let me chop you up?"

Choi lang lang~

The two hundred soldiers beside Cao Hong drew their long swords one after another.

Cao Xin sneered, raised his spear and shouted,
