Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Hangu Pass.

After the two feather guards sent Bian Bing and Cao Pi out of Hangu Pass, they stopped and stayed in the pass, waiting for Cao Cao's reply.

Although Bian Bing and Cao Pi left Hangu Pass, they did not dare to slow down.

In case Hua Yu repents and sends someone to chase them back, this trip will be in vain.

So, after breaking up with the two feather guards, after leaving Hangu Pass, Bian Bing and Cao Pi hurried to Bohai County.

At this time, Cao Cao was quite depressed.

Under Cao Cao's command, there are definitely many generals.

Xiahoudun, Xiahouyuan, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Ren Jun, Lou Yi, Wang Bi and others, but for the time being there is only one counselor, Xizhi.

Moreover, Cao Cao's soldiers were as shabby as the counselors, less than 3000.

As mentioned above, when Dong Zhuo moved his capital, Cao Cao couldn't persuade Yuan Shao, so he borrowed 1 soldiers and horses, together with [-] soldiers from his own headquarters, and gathered [-] people to pursue Dong Zhuo.

As a result, Cao Cao was defeated by Xu Rong and Lu Bu, and his soldiers and horses were almost completely destroyed.

Without soldiers, they are still called princes.

In desperation, after the alliance of princes broke up, Cao Cao took a trip to Yangzhou to recruit some soldiers.

Chaos in the north, stability in Yangzhou, Cao Cao's recruitment of troops in Yangzhou, it will be no wonder if it goes well.

Yangzhou Mu Chen Wen had an old relationship with Cao Cao. Seeing that Cao Cao was difficult to operate, he gave Cao Cao [-] soldiers and horses.

Zhou Xin, the prefect of Danyang, also gave Cao Cao a thousand troops.

There was also Liu Miao, the prefect of Jiujiang, who gave Cao Cao a general named Wang Bi.

These two counties, nominally owned by Yangzhou Mu Chenwen, have actually been controlled by Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu and Cao Cao are also old. They both used to be the second-generation officials who were fearless in Luoyang and wore a pair of trousers.

Therefore, Yuan Shu turned a blind eye to Cao Cao's recruitment of troops.

However, Yuan Shu secretly hated Chen Wen, Zhou Xin and Liu Miao, and killed them all in the future.

Twisted melons are not sweet, as expected.

These southern soldiers didn't want to go to the north to fight, so they mutinied on Cao Cao's way north.

These soldiers burned all of Cao Cao's central army tents. If Xiahou and the Cao brothers hadn't beheaded dozens of people with superb martial arts skills and shocked the scene, Cao Cao would have hated Yangzhou.

After some negotiations, only 500 people stayed, and the rest were all disbanded on the spot.

At this time, Cao Hong pulled an army of more than a thousand people, all of whom were Cao Hong's domestic slaves and wealthy customers with whom he had been associated.

Along the way, some refugees were recruited, and Cao Cao barely made up 3000 troops.

With troops and defecting to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao has some confidence.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shao was not interested in Cao Cao's team of three thousand crooked melons and dates, and he did not greet him in person, but sent Feng Ji to greet Cao Cao on his behalf.

Moreover, since Cao Cao attached himself to Yuan Shao, no matter whether it is military equipment, food, grass, or military pay, he has never been given enough.

Either there is a lack of armaments, or there is a shortage of food and grass, or a lack of military pay, or even lack of clothes.

Cao Cao's generals were so angry that they all clamored to leave Yuan Shao and set up another branch.

Cao Cao could only smile wryly.

Even in troubled times, the state shepherds of each state and the prefects of each county are all appointed by imperial decree, although they are from Dong Zhuo.

No matter which territory Cao Cao robbed, he was just creating chaos, which is equivalent to the Yellow Turban bandits in the past.

Just when Cao Cao was most depressed, a good thing finally happened. His brother-in-law Bian Bing came with Cao Pi.

"Hahaha..." When Cao Cao heard the news of Bian Bing and Cao Pi's arrival, he hurried back to the mansion immediately without caring about training the soldiers, laughing nonstop as soon as he entered the mansion.

"De Gui didn't lie to me." Cao Cao laughed and walked towards the living room, "A few days ago, I received a letter from De Gui. I really couldn't believe it. I didn't think it was true."

"Yu'er, Ziliang, Huan'er, Lai Yinger..." Cao Cao called out the names of Bian, Bian Bing, Huan'er and Lai Yinger when he was about to reach the living room.

In Cao Cao's mind, the first thing that came to mind was not the Bian family, nor Cao Pi, nor Bian Bing, nor the Cao Zhang whom he had never seen before, but Huan'er.

Huan'er, Cao Cao was very proud. Last time, when he was drunk, he wanted to fuck you, but you escaped by chance.

This time, Cao Cao will never make that mistake again, you are my Cao Cao's woman after all.

Hmph, Bian Bing, that stupid boy, how can he be worthy of your beauty.

The second thing that came to Cao Cao's mind was Lai Ying'er.

When Cao Cao stepped into the living room, he couldn't help being taken aback.

There were only Bian Bing and Cao Pi in the living room, and there was no sign of Bian and Huan'er, nor his son Cao Zhang whom he had never met.

Oh, Cao Cao suddenly realized that Zhang'er must have been tired all the way and was a little sleepy. Yu'er and Huan'er took him to settle down first, and Ying'er must also have settled down when he came to Yinger.

Cao Cao stared closely at Cao Pi with a pair of small eyes, and the latter also responded to Cao Cao with a pair of black and white eyes.

When Dong Zhuo went to Beijing and Cao Cao had to escape from Luoyang, Cao Pi was only two years old and didn't remember much, so his impression of Cao Cao was almost blank.

At this moment, Cao Pi saw Cao Cao again, and Bian Bing's description along the way was combined with the fragments deep in his memory.

A bit disappointed.

Cao Pi couldn't help but compare Cao Cao with Hua Yu. The Hua Yu tree is facing the wind and has an extraordinary appearance, but Cao Cao has nothing to do with the word "handsome".

He is short, with a dark complexion and small eyes. The only thing that can satisfy Cao Pi is that Cao Cao has a great aura, which is not inferior to Hua Yu.

Seeing that Cao Pi was in a daze, Bian Bing quickly pushed him away: "Pi'er, why don't you hurry up and see your father."

Only then did Cao Pi come to his senses, strode forward, knelt down to Cao Cao, and paid respects: "My son, Cao Pi, pay my respects to my father."

"Okay, okay, okay." Cao Cao strode forward, helped Cao Pi up, looked at him, and laughed loudly, "This calmness really looks like a father."

There is no way to talk about appearance, because Cao Pi's appearance is mostly inherited from the Bian family.

Bian Bing also took two steps forward and saluted Cao Cao: "Bian Bing has seen brother-in-law."

Because he knew that the Bian family would never be able to return to Cao Cao's side, Bian Bing was always thinking about what to call Cao Cao when he saw him along the way.

After thinking about it all the way, Bian Bing still decided to use the title "brother-in-law".

First, because he will always be Cao Pi's real uncle.

Second, the Bian family was robbed by Hua Yu, and he was not sincere with him, and Bian Bing did not recognize Hua Yu's identity.

Cao Cao patted Bian Bing's shoulder and said with a smile, "Ziliang has worked hard to escort your sister, Pi'er and others all the way. I will hold a banquet tonight to clean up the dust for you."

"Zu Liang, you go to settle in the room first, and then wash off the dust from your body. When the banquet starts, I will send someone to call you."

"I haven't seen your sister for two years, so I'll go to the back house and talk to your sister."

"Uh, brother-in-law..." Bian Bing immediately called Cao Cao to a stop, a little embarrassed, he hadn't figured out how to explain this to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao also saw that Bian Bing's expression was wrong, frowned slightly, and asked, "Zi Liang, did something happen on the road?"

But seeing that Bian Bing was not injured, and he didn't look like he had fought with anyone, he felt strange.

At this moment, Cao Pi suddenly said, "Report to father, mother has not come back."
