Chapter 61: The Situation Has Already Been Decided (Part 2)

  Cao Xin subconsciously shuddered, but looked around and didn't find anything strange.

  With the remaining 300 troops, Cao Xin quickly regained his composure. After all, although there were many casualties, at least they had won a victory and there was nothing to be extremely grieved about.

  It was just a line of people arriving at their destination, all with a look of exhaustion on their faces.

  "We're finally home......" Cao Xin let out a sigh of relief.

  "Master, it seems that this month's efforts have not been in vain..." Liu Yue rode his horse to the front of the other person, smiling.

  Looking at the distant Baoyang city tower, Cao Xin's face flashed a hint of relief, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Zi Xiang, you've been working hard these days, if it wasn't for your help in handling the miscellaneous matters in the army, our casualties would probably be even heavier, haha..."

  "Haha, I agree with that! Mr. Zi Xiang hasn't slept much lately!" Zhou Yu looked at He Qi and the others behind him, laughing loudly.

  "You guys..." Liu Yue smiled and shook his head, "No matter how tired I am, I couldn't compare to all of you fighting on the front lines. You shouldn't make fun of me."

  "Hahaha......" The crowd burst into laughter, and the huge stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground after arriving at Puyang City.

  "What is the master worried about?" After a while, only Cao Xin had no reaction, and the guard beside him, Xu Chu, reacted at this time and asked in doubt.

  He shook his head, and Cao Xin still stared at the city wall in the distance without blinking. After a while, he suddenly said: "Zi Xiang, do you know who is the commander of the garrison of Puyang City?"

  Liu Yue said: "This... I don't know yet, is there something wrong?"

  "There's nothing to worry about, this general will be my uncle. His name is Cao Hong, a bold and daring commander, you see...". As he spoke, Cao Xin suddenly pointed to the city wall and laughed: "At present, Puyang City has 5,000 defenders, with Lv Bu's 10,000 cavalry, it's probably already a fool's dream to attack Puyang!"

  Dazed, Liu Yue and others followed Cao Xin's pointing direction, and at this moment they also noticed the city wall in the distance. However, there were strict guards on the city tower, and the soldiers were dressed neatly without any slackness. The city of Pu Yang was even higher than ordinary cities, with a moat surrounding it, high and steep terrain, and inside, elite soldiers were solemnly waiting in formation. It can be said that this is indeed a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

  "Let's go... into the city!" A loud and powerful shout, Cao Xin led the way, whipping his horse towards Puyang City at a rapid gallop.

  In an instant, inside the city of Pu Yang, in the courtyard of the prefecture.

  "Mr. Boji, a rustic fellow Cao Hong, has come to pay his respects!" Wearing a suit of neat armor, Cao Hong laughed loudly and walked into the inner courtyard, where he first saw Cai Yong.

  "Isn't this... Lord Taishou? Hehe..." With a soft chuckle, Cai Yong stood up with a smile and slowly spoke in a polite tone, while also calling out to Cai Yan and Cai Ting on the side to quickly stand up together.

  But at this moment, Cao Hong suddenly saw Cai Yong like this, his face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Boji, why are you so polite, it's really embarrassing for Cao Hong!"

  At this time, Cao Hong inadvertently caught sight of Cai Yan and Cai Ting, and suddenly fixed his gaze on Cai Yan, who was deeply captivated by her beauty, and for a moment... he stared blankly.

  "Hey! What are you staring at!" Cao Hong, a man in his thirties, was annoyed and shouted at the side, while Cai Ting suddenly called out.

  "Ah...... impolite, impolite." Cao Hong finally came to his senses and realized he had lost his composure. His face couldn't help but show surprise at Cai Yan's beauty, yet also a bit of embarrassment.

  "Ting'er, I taught you better than this, don't be so rude...... Hehe, Governor Taishou, please don't blame me for not teaching my daughter properly."

  "How dare I... how dare I..." A hint of a smile appeared on his face as Cao Hong bowed and said.

  Cai Yan smiled lightly at the same time, "This time, Governor, you've come, is there something?"

  "Ah... nothing in particular, just came to see if Mr. Bai is living comfortably..."

  "Not used to it...not used to it..."

  "Ting'er, don't say much."

  Seeing this, Cao Hong couldn't help but reveal a hint of embarrassment, "This... although Puyang is rich in people, the government office is somewhat simple, and these days have been hard on you, sir..."

  "Report!!!!!!"

  Just then, Cao Hong's words had barely fallen when a small school suddenly appeared outside the palace and ran up at an extremely inopportune moment, causing the former to frown slightly.

  Before Cao Hong got angry, Cai Yong smiled and said: "Governor, you're being polite. Since there's something going on... just go ahead and attend to it first, no need to bother with this old man!"

  Turning back to see the little school's flustered face, Cao Hong was about to get angry but heard the former say so, and couldn't help but restrain himself, only saying in a deep voice: "What's the matter with such panic?"

  At this time, a young school suddenly came before Cao Hong and Cai Yong, his expression was extremely excited.

  "General Cao... General Cao Xing... requests an audience!"

  From extremely calm to calm. From calm to being stunned at the first moment, then from being stunned to slowly becoming surprised, until finally being left speechless...

  In an instant, the words shook everyone's heart like a thunderous wave, but at this moment, Cai Yan's stunning beauty revealed a hint of excitement that was hard to detect.

  "Who is it that wants to see me!?" Cao Hong exclaimed in great surprise.

  "Report to the General, it's Chancellor Cao Xin! He has returned!"

  Three steps in two, Cao Hong hadn't finished listening before he suddenly stumbled and ran out of the inner courtyard, at this moment even who was who couldn't be distinguished, let alone noticing Cai Yan behind him.

  Logically speaking, Cao Hong is Cao Xin's uncle and shouldn't be like this. However, in the current situation of Yanzhou, Cao Xin's reputation has spread too frequently over the past month, with successive victories reported one after another. At this moment, Cao Xin is no longer just a simple nephew.

  It was clear that Cai Yong also followed quickly with the support of his two daughters.

  A suit of armor stained with blood, stood in a square outside the council hall, Cao Xin led the way, three hundred strong men proudly gazed forward in the wind, every inch of skin on their bodies reflected a deep color under the sunlight, and an invisible bloody aura slowly spread out in all directions.

  These three hundred men were all brought up by Cao Xin in this month, fighting south and north, can be said to be the dead soldiers who crawled out of the pile of death, and have also been tempered through a battle with the trapped array camp, at this moment they are no longer the new recruits of that time.

  A burst of murderous aura emanated from his body, causing those around him to tremble with fear.

  "Haha! Anmin! My nephew! Hahaha, you have done a great service for me in Yunzhou!!!"

  Just then, a man came out of the council hall opposite, laughing loudly and walking quickly towards him.

  However, the man walked down the stairs and was about to head in the direction of the former.

  But at this moment, Cao Xin suddenly saw the three hundred strong men behind him, and suddenly felt a bloody aura coming from afar, it was an instinctive stumble, almost falling on the stairs...
