Cao Shuo rebuilt his soldiers in Ji County and waited for the return of several generals.

Xun You took the battle report, came to Cao Shuo, and said, "Master, there are more than 4000 Han soldiers in the city, and more than 6 Wuhuan soldiers."

"Wuhuan's surrender will be kept for now, I will be of great use!"

"promise!"

Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, Gongsun Zan led more than ten thousand remnants of the army and retreated to Yuyang with his family. Shall we continue to pursue?"

"How many soldiers are there in Yuyang County?" Cao Shuo looked at Guan Jing who had just surrendered.

"My lord, there are [-] Youzhou Army and [-] Wuhuan Army in Yuyang County, but most of them are recruits!"

Cao Shuo thought for a while, all the people of Wuhuan are soldiers, and the combat effectiveness of these [-] new recruits may be greatly reduced.

Including the soldiers taken away by Gongsun Zan, Yuyang still has more than 8 defenders, which is a force that cannot be underestimated.

Ju Shou said: "My lord, if you can take Yuyang County and destroy Wuhuan's army, Wuhuan will not be able to threaten me again in 20 years."

Cao Shuo narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart, only 20 years?

"All the Wuhuan people will be sent to the Zhongshan Kingdom for examination and distribution. Mining coal and iron ore requires a lot of coolies. These people are the best labor."

"promise!"

"You guys think who is more suitable to be the shepherd of Youzhou?"

Before Gongsun Zan could be caught, Cao Shuo fought for the position of Youzhou Mu. Gongsun Zan was only at the end of his battle. The thick clothes of the Youzhou army were all in Jixian County, and Yuyang's military supplies were not much.

The snow has already started to fall in Jizhou, and it will soon be in Youzhou. By then, Yuyang will not have enough supplies, and it is inevitable for the soldiers to defect.

Once the Yuyang army's heart is broken, and the prince Gongsun Zan is at an end, then the Youzhou Mu will naturally be his own.

Xun You thought for a while and said, "The Xianbei in the north of Youzhou is staring at it like a tiger. It takes a person with extraordinary ability, wisdom and courage to control the situation in Youzhou."

Extraordinary ability, wisdom and courage?
Cao Shuo recalled that among his subordinates, Ju Yi, Zhao Yun, and Xu Rong could take up this position, but these three were not good at internal affairs.

Although there is nothing to manage in Youzhou now, and all civilians who can be relocated have been relocated, the population will definitely increase in the future.

"Then let Zilong be the shepherd of Youzhou, and appoint Youzhou Biejia to assist Zilong in governing Youzhou and handling government affairs."

"Thank you, my lord!" Ju Shou looked at Cao Shuo excitedly.

"Master Ju, Zilong is not good at internal affairs, and the government affairs of Youzhou need your attention!"

"The minister decided to govern Youzhou as well as Jizhou."

"With your words, I feel relieved. When I win Gongsun Zan, I will report to the court."

Cao Shuo left two scribes, Guan Jing and Zhao Gai, as assistants to Jushou, and two generals Han Meng and Xia Houlan as Zhao Yun's lieutenants. As for other positions, let them find suitable candidates by themselves.

"Report, General Xu Rong and General Xu Huang are back."

After a while, Xu Rong and Xu Huang escorted Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Xu to Cao Shuo.

"Gongsun Xu, how did you escape from my camp?"

Cao Shuo glared at Gongsun Xu pretending to be angry, Gongsun Xu snorted coldly, unwilling to answer his question, he would not tell Cao Shuo that it was Gongsun Baoyue who let him go.

Gongsun Yue who was on the side was not as naive as Gongsun Xu, and said with disdain: "You are asking knowingly, deliberately letting Baoyue let go, and then sending the news of your lack of food to our army to lure us into being fooled."

"Second Uncle, how could Baoyue lie to us!" Gongsun Xu looked in disbelief, how could his own sister lie?
"Don't you understand? The soldiers and horses of the two raids were besieged at the same time, the camp was raided, and Ji County was surrendered at the same time. This is not a trick or something."

Gongsun Yue stared at Gongsun Xu with a look of hatred for iron and steel, why did such a waste appear in our Gongsun family.

"Damn Baoyue!"

After Gongsun Xu figured it out, he gritted his teeth with hatred. Fortunately, he still felt that his sister was against him. It turned out that all this was to use him.

Cao Shuo laughed and said, "I can only blame you for being so stupid, you can't even see such a trick."

Gongsun Xu gritted his teeth and scolded: "A pair of adulterers!"

Cao Shuo jokingly said, "Uncle, are you married? Do you want me to take care of you?"

"You, shameless... a thief, if you dare to touch my family, I will not let you go even if I am a ghost."

Gongsun Xu broke out in a cold sweat because Cao Shuo actually wanted to plot against his wife.

Cao Shuo glared at him, and said in a deep voice, "Come here, let Gongsun Fan imprison the two of them together. After I catch Gongsun Zan, they can be reunited."

"promise!"

Cao Shuo looked at the rest of the crowd and said, "Xu Chu and Tian Feng, you two lead [-] Xuanjia troops and [-] archers to attack Anle!"

"promise!"

"Xu Rong and Xun You led [-] Xuanjia troops and [-] archers to attack the fox slaves!"

"promise!"

Before Gongsun Zan could catch his breath, he could attack Yuyang at any time by capturing An Le and Hu Nu, and making Gongsun Zan lose the protection of his left and right wings.

After Cao Shuo arranged all the affairs, he handed over the military affairs to Xi Zhicai, and then came to his temporary residence.

"Husband, Xiao Yu is injured!"

As soon as Cao Shuo entered the courtyard, Lu Wen hurried over.

"Take me to see!"

Zhao Yu captured the gate of Ji County last night and let his army easily take Ji County. According to Xun You's report, of the [-] Xuanjia troops brought by Zhao Yu, only a thousand people remained.

It can be imagined how fierce this battle was. The two lieutenants he arranged for Zhao Yu were all killed.

Cao Shuo walked into Zhao Yu's room, Zhao Yu hurriedly stood up, and said apologetically, "My lord, I was impulsive and killed four thousand Xuanjia troops. Please punish me, lord."

Cao Shuo asked with concern, "Are you injured?"

"I, I have a small injury, it's okay!"

Zhao Yu looked embarrassed, her injury was too sensitive.

"Show me your injuries!"

"This... I, that, it's okay, I have a skin injury, and it will be fine in two days."

Zhao Yuqiao's face was flushed, and her words were shy and incoherent. This position must not be easily shown to Cao Shuo.

"Do you still remember your identity?" Cao Shuo gave her an angry look.

"I, I am your bodyguard!"

"wrong!"

"Wrong?" Zhao Yu looked at Cao Shuo suspiciously, what was wrong with her, she was the guard.

"You are my wife!"

"Huh? Then, isn't that acting?"

A few days ago, Cao Shuo went to Pingyuan to meet Mrs. Gu and asked her to be his wife temporarily. How could this be taken seriously?

"What about acting? I've already paid the dowry!"

Zhao Yu was surprised and said, "The bride price? Why didn't I see it? Who did you give it to? Did you send it to the wrong house?"

"No mistake, the dowry will automatically go to your house."
