The general in charge of night patrol tonight is Cao Xing's son, Cao Jun.

Many generals in the army knew that Cao Jun was not actually Cao Xing's biological son, but Cao Xing always regarded him as his own.

"I can not sleep."

Cao Xing sighed leisurely, just like when he first returned to Bingzhou Tunliu to serve as the county magistrate, he suffered from insomnia for several nights in a row.

"Is it for daytime business?"

Cao Jun sat down next to his father and asked tentatively.

Cao Jun also heard about what happened during the day. When his father passed by here, he missed the target twice in a row in front of hundreds of soldiers.

For the father who used to be known as a "sharp shooter", it is conceivable that he will suffer a blow.

Cao Xing did not speak, obviously acquiescing to this point.

Although the lord and the other generals have also comforted him and don't take it to heart, Cao Xing still feels very uncomfortable in his heart, like a knife cutting him.

His writing was not as good as Pang Ji and Guo Jia, his martial arts was not as good as Huang Zhong and Ma Chao, and he was even not as good as many old soldiers in the Wolf Cavalry Battalion. The only thing he could do was archery.

But now, under the watchful eyes of everyone, he missed the target twice in a row.

For Cao Xing, this is a shame, a great shame!

"Didn't you just miss the target? Everyone will miss it. Just practice more. In time, father, you will be able to regain the title of 'sharp shot'. My son believes in you!"

Cao Jun encouraged his father very excitingly.

But Cao Xing didn't seem to have much motivation, and even said very sadly: "Son, you don't have to comfort me. Father knows, I can never reach the level of the past. My eyes are useless, and my senses are also rusty... "

"so what?"

This was the first time Cao Jun saw his father so depressed and lacking in confidence. He continued, "Father, you are the earliest brother who accompanied the lord. Even if you don't do anything, no one dares to make irresponsible remarks to you."

"But I don't want to drag the lord down! I don't want others to say that I'm a moth in the military camp and only know how to waste food!"

Cao Jun became very angry when he heard this, and asked angrily, "Which bastard said that, I'll go to him to settle the score!"

"It's too late for me to decline. After a long time, I will never dream of Duke Zhou again."

Cao Xing pulled his son to sit down and sighed heavily.

Now he is nearly forty years old, and his physical fitness is no longer what it used to be.

The lord is physically strong and exercises regularly, and looks like he is in the prime of life.And Cao Xing is two years younger than Lu Bu, but his appearance is a little older than Lu Bu.

In the past few years, although he has grown a lot, he is also physically and mentally exhausted.

"Father, don't talk too much about me, you know, I'm tired of these literary things too."

Cao Jun said carelessly, without the slightest awareness of being a general. He recalled with his father: "I just remember that when I was young, I lost a fight with other children. You told me that if you lose, you lose. Get up first. Besides, if you don’t get up, you will never have a chance in your life!”

Cao Xing listened silently without making a sound.

"You have the perseverance to read and write, don't you have the perseverance to regain your old archery skills?"

Cao Jun asked loudly, and then looked at his father with burning eyes: "The soldiers look down on you, so you should work harder. One day, they will see, what a hero my father Cao Jun is!"

Hearing the last sentence, Cao Xing burst into tears.

Maybe it's because of getting older, tears come out easily.

"Jun'er, you have grown up."

Wiping the corners of his eyes secretly, Cao Xing looked at his son in front of him, and he was very pleased with his words.

"If you have time, take the time to go back and see your mother. She has not been in good health for the past two years, and she often misses you."

Over the years, Cao Xing has taken in many concubines, some of them young and beautiful, and some of them are graceful.

But his heart was always on Cao Jun's mother.

Just then, Cao sex was drunk with a few splashing skin and was swollen with a blue face, but at a glance, the gentle woman who applied medicine for him.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The next period of time will be neither salty nor light.

Due to Lv Bu's policy of recuperating and recuperating, even if Qu Yi had the intention to attack Hebei, he would not dare to go against Lv Bu's wishes on the face of it.

Chen Gong was in charge of governing Yanzhou. With Zaozhi and Ren Jun's strategy of farming, coupled with Lu Bu's new policy in Yanzhou, it saved nearly a million people in Yanzhou.

Zhang Lu, who occupied Hanzhong, bowed his head and proclaimed himself a minister a few years ago. In the past two years, he has written many times expressing his willingness to be the vanguard and attack Shu for the general.

Lu Bu didn't nod, he knew what Zhang Luhuai was thinking.

Liu Zhang is cowardly, and there is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention, he is still paying tribute to the court every year.

If he rashly launches an attack on Shu, the benefits will not be high for Lv Bu.For the common people, it will only add to the military disaster, causing their families to be destroyed and their wives to be separated.

That being the case, Lu Bu would naturally not launch an attack on Shu because of Zhang Lu's selfishness.

Xiliang was guarded by Ma Teng, Han Sui, and Jiang Jiong who replaced Yan Yi. Although there were occasional conflicts between the local Qiang and Han people, there was no major riot.

As for Guanzhong, Lu Bu was most at ease with Xi Ce sitting in charge there.

Although Xi Ce resigned from his official position and recuperated at home, the entire Guanzhong was firmly in his hands.Not only can he mobilize the secret forces of the School Affairs Office, but he can even order and command soldiers and tricks in various places in Guanzhong.

It can also be seen from this that Lu Bu has a high trust in him.

This naturally aroused the envy and jealousy of many scholars who joined Lu Bu, and many of them secretly instigated and spread rumors, saying that if the tricks were half-hearted, it would be hard to guard against.

Lu Bu laughed at this, and didn't take it to heart at all, and said frankly: "If there is no Mr. Back then, how could Lu Bu be today?"

"Even if people in the world abandon me, my husband will definitely live up to me!"

Lu Bu was convinced of this.

The generals trained their troops, and the common people farmed.

Time passes day by day like this, summer goes and autumn comes, autumn goes and winter goes.

It seems that in the blink of an eye, a year has passed quietly.

With the advent of the new year, new peach charms were replaced on the gates of common people's homes, and the Han Dynasty ushered in the fifth year of Jian'an.

Compared with the stability and peace in Guanzhong, Luoyang and other places, Xuzhou, Jingzhou and other places outside the Guanzhong, in the early spring, there was a thunder.
