So, a conflict broke out between Cao Xiu and Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao of course means that his mission has been "achieved" and Wen Xi has "taken" so he can return to the army.

But Cao Xiu felt that going back like this is not only a matter of resigning troops and losing generals, but also meaningless.

Cao Xiu insisted on going north and then completing the second phase of the task, and he inevitably had a fundamental conflict with Luzhao.

So Cao Xiu directly seized Lu Zhao's military power and directly assigned it to his own position.

Lu Zhao was helpless, and it was not realistic to return to Cao's camp alone. He could only follow Cao Xiu all the way north with a lot of complaints and resentment.

In the middle of the night, the Cao army soldiers behind Cao Xiu were all trapped.

The brave horse shook his head in discomfort. Although he could not neigh in a wood in his mouth, he still sniffled heavily and shook his hooves.

As Cao Xiu went north, half of the troops were Cao Xiu's headquarters, and the other half were the miscellaneous troops under the road. These soldiers from Cao Xiu's headquarters had also followed Cao Xiu all the way to climb the road of Zhuguan. They were more or less used to walking on the mountain road. They followed Cao Xiu without saying a word, but the miscellaneous troops of Cao Xiu who joined in half, naturally had a lot of low complaints.

If Cao Cao came to lead them, or Cao Hong, these guys would not dare to complain too much.

After all, it was not easy for Cao Cao and Cao Hong to accompany them to endure hardships. They ate whatever they wanted. Even the nipples of wild boar were cooked in one pot, and the generals just ate the first bowl. Everyone was stirred with the same horse spoon, and there was absolutely no reason to hide in the corner to chew Swiss rolls to satisfy their hunger.

Therefore, even if there is any dissatisfaction, there is nothing to say, but Cao Xiu is different. He came later. In the eyes of Cao's army, he had never suffered the hardships at the beginning, but he came later to get the big one. The soldiers from Cao Xiu's headquarters ate Cao Xiu's family's food and salary, and he had never eaten a grain of rice at Cao Xiu's family. Why can't they say a few words and complain?

What's more, Cao Xiu was born, and some of them knew about the first veterans who followed the Cao family.

There are also different levels between Cao and Cao!

In addition, Cao Xiu did not have any appearance bonus. After all, he was a poor child back then. He supported his parents' coffin and went to his relatives. He naturally could not have any fair skin, delicate face, creamy temperament, and Yang Liu's waist. There was no evil smile that made millions of people scream...

Lu Zhao didn't say a word on the surface, but in fact, even if he was three feet away, he could smell his dissatisfaction with Cao Xiu. So the Cao army's miscellaneous soldiers naturally muttered and pointed at each other behind his back. It seemed that Lu Zhao was with them!

Why did you come to join the army? It’s not for the little food and salary!

Defend the country?

ha!

Back then, the Central Plains were in chaos, and refugees were experiencing troubles everywhere, fighting everywhere, and Jingguan, which accumulated in the sea of ​​blood, was everywhere. Where was the home?

Loyalty, filial piety and righteousness?

Hey!

Everyone in the temple shamelessly lay down and only knew how to suck the blood of the people, but they asked the people to talk about loyalty, filial piety and righteousness?

Therefore, among the Cao army's miscellaneous troops, don't take any other things, just have food to eat.

How much food is given and how much work is done.

The supplies and food that Cao Xiu brought gradually became available...

Originally, Cao Xiu thought that he could quickly contact the Xiahou Army by the way up the North Road, or found some villages near Luliang as a supplement, but Cao Xiu did not consider that Luliang was scattered in the villages and there were many people in the mountains. It was not that these people liked Luliang Taihang very much, but were forced by various external environments to reach the Luliang Mountains. Now, Fei Qianlin Basin is operating well, and it has attracted people to move voluntarily with various discounts for a long time, so the people in the Luliang Mountains naturally became thinner.

And this is not the biggest trouble Cao Xiu faces, because his troubles will become more and more and more!

In the night, there were figures stirring up, and the soldiers exploring the way forward came back with a strange expression.

Cao Xiu asked, at first he thought that something was found in front of him, but he didn't expect that the soldiers who were exploring the way forward replied: "General Qi Bian... Hey, this is a letter from Prince Ling..."

『Ahhh?』

Cao Xiu opened his mouth so hard that he didn't close for a long time.

...

...

The walls of Cao Jun camp were dug into trenches and cut into trenches.

Every small camp in the camp can accommodate about a thousand people.

The camp of the Central Guards of the Central Leading Army is a circle larger than the small camp, with a capacity of between 2,000 and 5,000.

Cao Hong returned to his central army tent.

It was quiet inside the camp.

It is not because these leaders and guards are so abiding by the rules, but because many of these camps are empty. There is only a tent supporting them, but there are only some soldiers living in the outermost circle.

There are fewer people, and there will naturally be fewer sounds.

After entering his own tent, Cao Hong did not force himself to support him. He landed on the guard's shoulder and hopped on the bed. Then he let the guard examine his wounds and put medicine again.

The elite Cao army here before, the main force was the old Qingzhou soldiers who followed Cao Cao all the way. They were not afraid of death, but they were also extremely difficult to control.

After all, life and death don’t matter. What else do you care about military laws or not?

Especially when Cao Cao was chasing Yuan Shu...

Even Cao Hong was shocked in that scene back then!

It is said that it is Qingzhou soldiers, but in fact most of them are Qingzhou Yellow Turban thieves.

These Yellow Turban Thiefs may not have much martial arts, but they are really not afraid of death...

In other words, I have lost my desire for life.

So far, Cao Hong couldn't figure out why the Yellow Turban thieves heard that they were going to fight Yuan Shu, even if they could not even have free military pay and food. They even had to bite a piece of meat from the soldiers under Yuan Shu on the battlefield!

Just like Yuan Shu's soldiers were their irreconcilable enemies who killed their father!

Why?

You know, but Yuan Shu is not a weakling. Yuan Gaolu of this great man had a group of elite soldiers left by the Yuan family back then, and even Yuan Shao did not have the elite soldiers to conquer Zhang Jiao...

oh!

Cao Hong suddenly figured out one thing, so that's it...

It makes sense that there is a head of injustice and debt.

"hiss……"

Cao Hong suddenly took a breath of cold air.

The guard thought that his inexperienced method of changing the wound medicine caused Cao Hong's wound to hurt, so he apologized repeatedly.

Cao Hong waved his hand and said, "It's not this... I suddenly thought that when Bao Shuyi asked about his lord, he was called "lord" or "prime minister"?"

"this……"

The guard was stunned, and he didn't pay any attention.

However, since Cao Hong asked, he naturally asked each other and recalled Cao Hong.

"It seems to be called "Prime Minister"?" said a guard.

"That's right! It's indeed the "Prime Minister"!" Another guard also confirmed.

『"Prime Minister"…』 Cao Hong narrowed his eyes.

If the "lord" is the "prime minister" and the "prime minister" is also the "lord", there is no big problem. Just like you usually call your husband "that hole", or "liangzai", but one day, it suddenly becomes just a name but not a relationship...

"Master...you mean...whether...you want..."

The guard suddenly became a little worried.
