System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Cao Hong."

Zhang Xiu sat behind the desk, staring at the Cao general in front of him.

"exist."

Cao Hong lowered his head, clasped his hands, and responded.

"I heard that you were one of the best generals in Cao's camp."

"How about we have a fight?"

Zhang Xiu stood up and touched the tiger-head golden spear in front of the weapon rack.

"Of course I can't compare to General Zhang."

"General Zhang is known as the Northern Spear King. Everyone in the world knows him."

Cao Hong immediately showed a look of panic.

"My lord has sent you to see me, apparently intending to have you serve under my command."

"I have a bad temper."

"Some past incidents may be forgiven by the lord, but I am not that magnanimous."

"With the Lord's orders, I will not make things too difficult for you. But if you fail to perform your duties properly, do not blame me for punishing you."

Zhang Xiu shook his spear, and a beautiful spear flower bloomed at the tip of the spear.

The feud between Cao's family and the Xiliang army is no small feud.

First there was the assassination attempt, then there was the battle between the princes of Guandong and Dong Zhuo, then the alliance with Yuan Shao caused them heavy losses, and now they have been fighting with Dong's army for several months.

This is why, even if Lao Cao surrendered, the best outcome would be being placed under house arrest like he is now.

The generals of the Cao family were even more miserable. Their daughters were taken away just as they were told.

None of the other princes suffered such miserable treatment as the Cao family. It can be said that it was tit-for-tat.

"Since I am under General Zhang's command, I will do my best to assist him. If there is any mistake, it will be my fault."

Cao Hong sighed and responded quickly.

Cheng Yu’s words are still ringing in my ears.

Even though Cao Hong had a bad temper, he had to swallow his anger in order to protect those people.

Moreover, he knew that if he couldn't even endure these things, he would not be able to endure many things in the future.

"it is good."

"In that case, follow me to the surrendered soldiers' camp."

"I'm sure you know what to do."

Zhang Xiu nodded with satisfaction.

With Cao Hong's prestige in Cao's army, there would be no problem in recapturing these surrendered soldiers.

After the recovery, it is only necessary to disband the subordinate groups, and these elite soldiers will be at Dong Yu's disposal.

Don't think that you can force these people to surrender by using force.

After all, there are more than 30,000 or nearly 40,000 elite soldiers.

The combat capability should not be underestimated.

Tough measures can certainly make people submit, but if they pretend to obey but actually disobey, it will also affect the combat effectiveness.

Cao Hong was very tired during these few days.

Not only did they have to waste their time and energy to appease the surrendered soldiers, but they also had to endure the exclusion of Dong's generals.

...

"Alas, when will this day end?"

“Forget it, let’s go to Meng De to seek some comfort.

Cao Hong finished his shift and walked into the city with a dejected look on his face.

I was originally planning to go home.

But now he is full of bitterness.

If I go home, won’t I be alone and suffer?

It is better to pour out your troubles to Cao Cao than to drink the bitter wine alone!

Good brothers should endure hardships together!

Cao Hong bought two pots of Du Kang, Meng De's favorite tea, and came to Cao's house with the wine.

"Alas, people's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be. People's hearts are no longer the same as they used to be."

"If you can't even rely on your brothers, you still rely on others."

"This Cao Hong...haha, his bones are broken."

"I heard that this bastard had a miserable time in the Dong army, being ostracized and humiliated all day long, yet he still happily helped them subdue the surrendered soldiers."

Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan cursed sarcastically in the hall.

"Okay, stop talking."

"We are all brothers. If he can do well, it's his ability."

Cao Cao clinked glasses with the two of them.

Cao Cao couldn't say too much about Cao Hong's problem.

Cao Cao was very moved by his good brother's behavior of enduring humiliation.

But when Cao Hong heard this, it didn't make the same sense.

What do you mean by "I'm doing well"? That's my ability.

Who am I being bullied for every day?

"Humph."

"I wanted to get you some good wine to satisfy your cravings, but instead you started talking about me behind my back!"

"Since you are so ruthless, don't blame Cao for being ruthless."

After muttering to himself, Cao Hong walked into the main hall with an arrogant look.
