Cao Zhi was unaware of Cao Cao's subsequent actions.

After leaving Sikong Mansion.

Cao Cao then rode back to his residence.

Just walked back to the door.

He saw Zhao Yan, the head of the Zhao family, looking at him with a smile on his face.

Cao Zhi knew that this was asking for benefits from him.

Thinking about how Zhao Yan played an indispensable role in his ability to subdue Zhao Yun.

Cao Zhi then laughed and said:

"Go tell my father-in-law that your Zhao family can choose any three official positions in Changshan County!"

"But let me be frank. I can give you official positions, but you must abide by the law. If I discover that you are breaking the law or oppressing the good, I will kill you!"

When Cao Zhi said this, Zhao Yan was immediately overjoyed.

Then after hearing Cao Zhi's threat.

Zhao Yan beat his chest and stamped his feet on the spot, saying that the Zhao family would never violate the law.

He even tried to show his loyalty to Cao Zhi and bring the Zhao family closer to Cao Zhi.

Zhao Yan even knelt down and kowtowed to Cao Zhi in public.

That fawning look really wasted his righteous face.

"Get out!" Cao Zhi cursed with a smile.

……

After seeing Zhao Yan off.

Cao Zhi had just entered the yard and taken two steps.

He met Zhao Yun and Chen Dao.

Zhao Yun's brows were furrowed at this moment, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. I don't punish you for your words!"

Cao Zhi laughed.

Seeing Cao Zhi say this, Zhao Yun did not hide anything and said directly:

"Fourth Young Master, after you left just now, Shuzhi and I analyzed it. In today's Han Dynasty, the only person in the world who can stir up trouble in the south and has such ambition and ability is Uncle Liu..."

"Although I have surrendered to you, I do not wish to be an enemy of Uncle Liu!"

"Therefore, I hope that the Fourth Young Master will not send me to attack Uncle Liu!"

Speaking of it.

Zhao Yun couldn't help but reveal a look of guilt on his face.

In his opinion.

Since I have surrendered to Cao Zhi.

Then you must assist Cao Zhi with all your heart and effort.

But now he actually made such a request to Cao Zhi.

In Zhao Yun's opinion, this was totally wrong.

But Zhao Yun had no choice.

After all, he never thought at the beginning that he would betray Liu Bei and join Cao Zhi.

The reason he followed Cao Zhi now was simply because he had lost a bet before.

As for Chen Dao who was standing aside, he was hearing Zhao Yun's words at this moment.

I couldn't help but think that Zhao Yun was pedantic.

In his opinion.

Zhao Yun had already guessed that it was Uncle Liu who was stirring up trouble in the south.

Then Zhao Yun should make the request first.

Wait until Cao Zhi agrees before telling him your guess.

This way you can gain Cao Zhi's favor.

But Zhao Yun told them his own conclusion as soon as they met.

Although the words are still the same.

But different ways of speaking will ultimately lead to very different results.

However, Chen Dao also knew Zhao Yun's character.

Therefore, after Zhao Yun said this.

Chen Dao immediately added:

"Fourth Young Master, my request is the same as Zilong's. Although I know that what we are doing is wrong, I hope Fourth Young Master will forgive me!"

"Forgive me?" Cao Zhi said with a smile:

"Why should I forgive you?"

When these words were spoken, the two of them couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in their hearts.

Just when the two thought that Cao Zhi would reject them.

But Cao Zhi smiled and said:

"Those who are loyal to their old master will definitely be loyal to their new master!"

"I'm very pleased that you can tell me what you think in advance!"

Seeing Cao Zhi say this.

The two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

He then quickly bowed and clasped his fists, expressing that he would always be loyal to Cao Zhi.

……

After the episode between the two of them.

Cao Zhi, after having lunch with the girls.

That afternoon, he called all his trusted confidants to his house.

Among them, Jia Xu was also on Cao Zhi's invitation list because of his performance last time.

In front of everyone, Cao Zhi revealed the various evil deeds committed by Yuan Xi and the Wuhuan cavalry in Youzhou.

At the same time, he stated that he would soon lead 10,000 cavalrymen to the north to attack Yuan Xi and the Wuhuan in the three counties.

As soon as this news came out.

Cao Zhang, Ju Qi, Zhang He, Zhang Liao, Le Jin, Zhao Yun, Chen Dao and others.

They all expressed their willingness to lead the troops into battle.

Yang Xiu and Chen Lin also expressed their willingness to serve as military advisors.

In response, Cao Zhi smiled indifferently.

He then announced the leaders of the expedition - Cao Zhang, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Chen Dao.

Cao Zhang was chosen because Cao Zhi had previously promised Cao Zhang that he would take him with him on the next expedition.

Cao Zhi chose Zhang Liao because he knew that he would definitely encounter Wuhuan cavalry during this expedition.

In history, the Battle of Bailang Mountain where Cao Cao fought against the Wuhuan was commanded by Zhang Liao.

Since this is the case, Zhang Liao naturally cannot be absent from this expedition.

The reason Cao Zhi chose Zhao Yun was not only because he wanted to see Zhao Yun's heroic performance on the battlefield.

Cao Zhi guessed that Zhao Yun must still have some grudges in Youzhou.

Otherwise, Zhao Yun would not have been poisoned by the snake while it was still hibernating.

However, since Zhao Yun didn't say anything, Cao Zhi naturally wouldn't ask any further questions.

As for choosing Chen Dao, it was because Cao Zhi needed him to lead the White Ear Soldiers to help him charge into battle.

As for the counselor, Cao Zhi chose Jia Xu.

There was no other reason, he just wanted to see what the "poison master" could do.

This ended with Cao Zhi's selection of generals.

Cao Zhang and the others who were selected looked excited.

The three people who were not selected, Ju Qi, Le Jin and Zhang He, looked depressed.

They are also very eager for war.

As for them, Cao Cao only needed one sentence to shut them up.

That is, he now has enough money to support Ju Qi in training the "Da Ji Shi".

Zhang He and Le Jin need to assist Ju Qi.

"Halberd Warrior!!!"

As soon as Cao Zhi said this.

Ju Qi's tiger body shook instinctively.

The look he gave Cao Zhi was filled with excitement.

Zhang He also looked excited at this moment.

The reason is simple, because he was the one who led the "Great Halberd Warriors" before.

Later, in order to save money, Yuan Shao dismissed the halberd soldiers.

Now Cao Zhi actually wants to retrain the "Da Ji soldiers".

Although he was no longer the commander-in-chief, Zhang He was still very happy.

……

The plan has been made and everyone has their own responsibilities.

In the next two days.

Just as Cao Cao was busy making sweet potatoes into dried sweet potatoes for the soldiers to carry more easily.

Cao Zhi and the girls spent two fulfilling and satisfying days.

Day three.

The north gate of Yecheng.

With the farewell of Cao Cao and a group of civil and military officials.

Cao Zhi and others set off.

Seven days later.

Cao Zhi's army left Jizhou and entered Youzhou.

As soon as the army entered Youzhou, they encountered groups of people in ragged clothes and with pale faces.

They traveled south with their families.

Judging from the direction, they are heading to Jizhou.

During the observation period of Cao Zhi and others.

Many people fell down while walking.

And those who fell had just fallen down.

Immediately afterwards, a group of people rushed forward and surrounded the body.

next to.

Some people even quickly set fire to the dry grass.

Such a horrifying scene shocked Cao Zhi and others.

But these people are used to it.

"Wenyuan, send a message to the entire army, have everyone keep half of their dried sweet potatoes!"

Cao Zhi said lightly.

Because there is still a lot of food in the system space.

Therefore, Cao Zhi's army will not encounter food shortage problems for the time being.

The reason for accepting the dried sweet potatoes was just to make Cao Cao feel at ease.

"Here!"

Zhang Liao immediately ordered the soldiers to put down half of the dried sweet potatoes.

It won’t take long.

In front of Cao Zhi and others, the dried sweet potatoes were piled up into a small mountain.

The victims seemed to have received a signal and quickly gathered in front of Cao Zhi and others.

Half an hour later.

All the dried sweet potatoes on Xiaoshangao were looted.

But the number of disaster victims increased, and the way they looked at Cao Zhi and the others became increasingly strange...

"Fourth Young Master, be prepared for the worst!"

At this moment, Jia Xu said in a deep voice.

Jia Xu had just finished speaking.

Suddenly someone among the victims shouted:

"They still have food!"

As soon as these words came out.

The victims were on the verge of starvation and were like a pile of scattered sand.

Instantly turned into a demon in hell.

Their eyes were red, their fangs were bared, and they rushed towards Cao Zhi and others regardless of everything.
