"Alas, the sky has brightened again. I really hope that the sky will always remain dark!" On top of the Henei County city wall, a Cao Army opened his eyes and looked at the sky, sighing softly.

The moment Junior head finished his words, the surrounding people all started to chime in.

"God knows why they suddenly went crazy! Yesterday, eighteen people died in our team! He … Mother. "If we continue to fight like this for another three days, not a single one of us will be left alive!"

"My team is more or less the same. Twelve died, seven were injured! I am not destroying my own prestige, Youzhou is really hard to deal with! "

"Wang Gouzi's words are not pleasant to listen to. It's just a sentence of truth, when have we ever seen such a ferocious enemy when we followed the Envoy Cao in wars? Not only are they well-equipped and well-equipped, they are also fearless against death. It's no wonder that General Cao Chun and the tiger leopard riding are so. "

"Shh!" Are you f * cking looking to die? If the Envoy Cao or General Xiao Hou and the rest hear that, you're dead meat. Day. "I guarantee that my head will hit the ground!"

"I know, I promise I won't speak nonsense again!" Say, there's something wrong with the Youzhou, why aren't the fellows of the White Horse Camp afraid of death? "

I heard that the White Horse Camp's people would be paid full salary every month. After making a contribution, they would receive a large amount of reward, and after death, they would even receive a heavy pension. Furthermore, their families have been properly settled down, so even if their families were to die in battle, they would still be able to live a good life!

"Gongsun Zanfuzi's money is flowing like water, others can afford it! A relative of mine went to the Youzhou a while ago, and he said that the people there eat three meals a day, and the salt price is very low.

"What?" Only twenty taels of fine salt per catty? He … Mother. YES! Compared to the fellows of White Horse Camp, our lives are not human! "No wonder they are not afraid of death. If it was me …"

"Enough!" "All of you, shut up!" Junior head heard his subordinates say something that was even more outrageous, afraid that even if it spread to his ears, he would still be unable to get away from it, so he quickly shouted for his subordinates to stop. In fact, he agreed with what his fellow soldiers said very much. The treatment of the warriors in the White Horse Camp made anyone who ate and worked as a soldier extremely jealous.

"Huh?" Just then, a soldier pointed outside the city and shouted, "Everyone, look! Who is that? It looks so familiar! "

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a man wearing a gray robe riding a red horse, galloping towards the city wall.

"It seems to be General Cao Chun! That's right, it was indeed General Cao Chun! "Wang Gou'er, hurry and report this to General Xiahou!"

When Cao Chun was about two hundred steps away from the city walls, he lightly raised the reins to slow down his pace. Raising his head, he looked at the large 'Cao' word that was fluttering in the wind above the city walls.

A few days ago, when Cao Chun had led the tiger leopard riding on an expedition, he had turned his head to look at the large banner floating above the city walls. In a short few days, the same position and the same huge banner had caused him to feel as if he had been separated by a lifetime. Cao Chun looked at those familiar faces on the city wall and suddenly felt a bit scared to go back. His brother's tiger leopard riding, which he spent a lot of money to create, had died in his hands, causing the advantage of this entire battle to rapidly tilt towards Gongsun Xu. He really didn't know how to explain this to his brother.

The Junior head on the city wall saw Cao Chun standing there without moving, he thought was waiting to open the city gates, so he shouted: "General Cao, please wait a moment, I will release the basket and bring you up!"

After Gongsun Xu's army surrounded the city, Cao Cao Cao ordered. Unless he gave the order, no one was to open the city gate, otherwise, they would not be spared. Previously, when Xun You and Gongsun Xu went out of the city to discuss things, they had also let it down with baskets. Even if Cao Chun was Cao Cao Cao's most trusted and intimate brother, the Junior head would definitely not dare to open the city gate.

Just as Junior head was about to give the order to put down the basket, Xiahou Dun's rough voice suddenly came from behind: "I heard that Zi He has returned?"

Everyone bowed in salute. "Greetings, General Xiahou!"

Xiahou Dun did not bother with them, and jumped to the side of the city wall. Seeing that it was indeed Cao Chun, he could not help but be overjoyed, and waved his hand: "Zi He, Zi He, quickly come over!"

Cao Chun rode his horse to the city entrance, cupped his fists and said: "Greetings Brother Yuan!"

"Brother, please wait a moment!" Xiahou Dun waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Quick, quick, quick! Quickly put down the basket, and bring the successor and younger brother up! "

A few people pushed the huge bamboo basket down into the city. Cao Chun dismounted from his horse and walked over, after thinking for a bit, he turned around and used his strength to fart on the red horse. A tap on the stock. The red horse let out a long hiss, turned around and rushed towards the White Horse Camp's army camp.

In the distance, Gongsun Xu stood on the arrow tower in the White Horse Camp camp with his hands behind his back. When he saw Cao Chun purposely put his horse back, he could not help but sigh in regret and walk down the arrow tower.

Cao Chun waited for the red horse to get far away before he walked to the side of the wall and jumped into the basket.

The few people above used their power to pull the rope, and the bamboo basket quickly reached the top of the city walls. Cao Chun held onto the city walls and jumped onto it.

Xiahou Dun grabbed Cao Chun's arm and asked anxiously, "Son and brother, are you alright?"

Cao Chun shook his head, and said softly: "Junior is fine, let Brother Yuan worry about me, Junior should die a thousand times for his crimes!"

Xiahou Dun frowned, and patted Cao Chun's shoulders with force, and said loudly: "It's good that you are fine, don't say such depressing things! Let's go see Meng De quickly! Men, hurry up and prepare for the horse! "

After a while, Cao Chun followed Xiahou Dun and arrived at the street in front of prefecture chief mansion's doors.

Cao Cao Cao and Cao Ang, the Xun's Brothers, Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang, Sima Yi and the others were all waiting for them at the main gate. Upon seeing Cao Chun, Cao Cao Cao quickly rushed over and shouted, "Zi, zi! Brother is here! "

Cao Cao was in such a hurry that one of his shoes had fallen off, but he didn't notice and continued to run forward.

Seeing this, Cao Chun's nose started to sour, and his eyes started to moisten. He immediately raised his sleeves and wiped his tears, then jumped off his horse and rushed forward with all his might.

When they were still three or four steps away from each other, Cao Chun suddenly dropped to the ground, kowtowing as he sobbed, "This little brother deserves to die, please punish me severely!"

Cao Cao's eyes suddenly became red, came up and supported Cao Chun, sighing with emotion: "It's good that he's back! As long as he came back! Hurry and get up. I'll let you take a look at your injuries! "

Cao Chun stood up, and said with a lowered head of shame: "This little brother's injuries are already fine, if it were not for me reporting to brother about some important matter, I really would not have had the face to come back and see brother and my clan friends!"

Cao Cao shouted, "What are you saying!?" Victory and defeat are commonplace in war. A single defeat has destroyed all of your ambition and morale? You are a descendant of the Cao family, you should be tenacious and unyielding, how can you be so easily killed! Remember, the dead clan's disciples are still waiting for you to avenge them! "

Cao Chun felt even more ashamed, but he finally raised his head and said with a muffled voice: "Brother's lesson is, little brother understands his wrongs! Please rest assured, brother. I will definitely rebuild my tiger leopard riding to serve you in the future! "

"That's right!" Cao Cao Cao nodded his head, and fiercely patted Cao Chun's shoulders, "If the disciples of the Cao family get revenge, they will definitely get it, and will never be defeated!"

Cao Chun cupped his fists and said: "Yes! This little brother will remember this well! "

"Let's go see the others!" Cao Cao waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the door.

Cao Chun was a brave and good warrior, but he was usually very gentle and kind. Everyone had a good relationship with him, and when they saw him return safely, they went up to him and asked him how he was. Amongst them, Cao Ang was the most excited and happy one. His relationship with Cao Chun's uncle and nephew was extremely deep, far surpassing the relationship between him and his father, Cao Cao Cao. He grabbed onto Cao Chun's arm, unwilling to let go.

For the past few days, Cao Ang had been looking for him frequently, he agreed to his conditions and exchanged the food for Cao Chun. But he rejected him all of a sudden, for this matter, Cao Ang had always been at loggerheads with him, and although he was unable to get angry, he could finally heave a sigh of relief.

Sima Yi was the last to greet Cao Chun with an extremely respectful attitude.

"This is?" Cao Chun did not recognize Sima Yi and looked at him in shock.

Cao Ang took two steps forward and proactively introduced him to Cao Chun: "Uncle, this is Sima Yi, word Zhong Da, he's a He Nai Junjie who has just joined father's side. Father has asked him, along with General Xu Huang and General Gao Gang, to lead the reserve team."

After Cao Chun finished listening, he cupped his hands towards Sima Yi and said, "I'll be troubling Zhong Da."

"I don't dare!" This is your subordinate's duty! " Sima Yi hurriedly returned the gesture with a humble gesture before bowing to Cao Cao Cao. "My lord, General Cao's successful return will be a joyous occasion. This subordinate proposes to hold a banquet tonight to boost the morale of the generals."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Sure! Leave this matter to Zhong Da. "

Sima Yi cupped his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. This subordinate will surely handle this matter to the fullest."

"Let's talk about this later. Come on, let's talk inside." Cao Cao looked around at the citizens who were enjoying the show, then took the lead and walked into the prefecture chief mansion, followed by the rest of the people.

After entering the living room, Cao Cao Cao dismissed the servants, then looked at Cao Chun and asked: "Zi He has returned safely. I am extremely pleased, but that Gongsun Xu suggested to trade a large amount of food for your return.

Cao Chun stood up, took out a letter from his bosom, walked over and gave it to Cao Cao Cao with both hands. "Reporting to brother, this is a letter personally written by Gongsun Xu.

Cao Cao Cao was very surprised, after taking the letter, he realized that it was not sealed, so he looked at Cao Chun.

Cao Chun bowed and explained: "When Gongsun Xu was writing the letter, little brother was by his side, and was clear about the contents of the letter, that's why he did not seal the letter."

Cao Cao nodded his head. He took out the letter and began to read it. The more he read, the more his expression softened. It seemed the contents of the letter had made him very relaxed.

No one said anything, they all looked at Cao Cao Cao, wanting to know what exactly was written in Gongsun Xu's letter.

When he finished reading, Cao Cao Cao lightly flicked the paper in his hand, facing the anxious eyes of the crowd, he slowly said: "Gongsun Xu said that as long as our army agrees to return to Yanzhou, and no longer tries to rescue Yuan Shao, he will withdraw fifteen kilometers, and release us to Yanzhou! All the Monarchs said, do we agree to accept him? "
