Lead the army into Lujiang.

Cao Shu asked Pang Tong: "Will Shi Yuan return to Shouchun with me, or continue to stay in Wancheng?"

"Although the matter in Jingzhou has been dealt with, the Sun family in Jiangdong still has to be guarded." Pang Tong said: "Lujiang East is connected to Jiangdong and Jingzhou West is adjacent to Jingzhou. If there is no one to guard it, it will be impossible."

Looking at Lu Bu, Zhao Yun and others, Cao Shu asked: "Can General Lu and the others follow me back to Shouchun?"

"Jingzhou has been stable. Even if Jiangdong launches troops, the Lujiang defenders can still deal with it." Pang Tong said: "General Lu and his team have more important things in the future, so they don't have to stay in Wancheng."

Looking ahead, Cao Shu said to Pang Tong: "There is Sima Zhongda in Xuzhou and Xu Yuanzhi in Qingzhou. Now the ones I can't let go of are Yangzhou and Qingzhou, which only accounts for half of them. You and Yuanzhi have not been able to fully display them."

"Young Master, don't worry, sooner or later, the whole world belongs to you." Pang Tong smiled slightly and said to Cao Shu.

"Chengshi Yuan Jiyan." Cao Shuo responded with a smile.

Looking back at Cao Pi who was following the team, Pang Tong asked in a low voice: "Why don't your son let Guo Fengxiao bring the second son back to Xu Du?"

"Let Guo Fengxiao take him back to Xudu?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why?"

"Young Master doesn't think that he will cause a lot of trouble in Shouchun?" Pang Tong said: "Although he is a real brother, he still..."

"I know." Cao Shu said: "It's not just Shi Yuan reminded me, but some things are too early to say now. It won't take long to return to Shouchun, and my father will definitely ask me to go to Xudu. Then I will send him back in person, so as to give my father an explanation."

"Young Master knows it." Pang Tong said: "You will be in Wancheng the day before. Should you lead your army to rest in Wancheng for some time?"

"It's enough for the Yuan brothers in Hebei to make trouble." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "I still have a lot of things to do when I return to Shouchun. If I stay outside for one more day, it will take a day off. The world is still very chaotic, and I don't have much time to stay outside."

"Wancheng is not outside, either." Pang Tong smiled and said, "It's still under the rule of the young master."

"That's right." Cao Shuo said: "Jingzhou will not make trouble with us in the past two years, but the Sun family in Jiangdong still needs to be wary of it. Shi Yuan is in Wancheng, so the burden is not light."

"The young master has taken on a much heavier burden than me, and I have never complained. How dare I say that the burden on me is too heavy?" Pang Tong said: "With me guarding Lujiang, I will never find any gaps."

"I'm still relieved if Shi Yuan is here." Cao Shu replied.

That night, Cao Shu ordered the army to station in the field.

It’s not that there is no city to accommodate the army further forward, but Cao Shu didn’t do that considering that entering the city will mobilize the crowd, which will cause unnecessary trouble to the local area.

In the wilderness, Cao's army's tents were everywhere.

Huang Chengyan and others' tents were not far from Cao Shuo's handsome tent.

The moon was rising, and the bright moonlight covered the tent with a thin layer of silver.

A bonfire was lit every distance in the military camp.

Two or three soldiers on the night will sit around the bonfire.

In the shadow not far from the bonfire, there will also be hidden soldiers on duty.

Cao Shu walked out of the tent and looked up at the bright moon.

The sound of gentle footsteps approached from not far away.

Cai Ji, who was following Cao Shuo, asked alertly: "Who is it?"

"It's me." Huang Chengyan's voice came from the darkness.

When he heard that it was Huang Chengyan, Cao Shu signaled Cai Ji to step down and greeted with a smile: "Why is Mr. Huang not asleep yet?"

"It's always hard to fall asleep when you're away from home." Huang Chengyan replied.

"Mrs. and the lady have already fallen asleep, right?" Cao Shu asked again.

"No." Looking back at the tent with the oil lights, Huang Chengyan said, "They are the same. Since they left Jingzhou, they have been chatting until very late every night."

"Mrs. and the lady are not asleep yet?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Not yet." Huang Chengyan answered again.

"Can I go and have a visit?" Cao Shuo said: "Since leaving Jingzhou, I have never visited my wife and lady."

Of course, Huang Chengyan knew that Cao Shu was not really going to visit, but wanted to see how ugly Huang Yueying was.

After hesitating for a moment, he finally nodded and said, "Since the young master is willing to see them, I will go back and tell you first."

"I'm upset." Cao Shu bowed again.

Huang Chengyan retreated and Cao Shu took Cai Ji to his tent.

Waiting outside Huang Chengyan's tent for a while, the curtain was lifted from inside, and Huang Chengyan walked out.

"Please move into the tent!" Huang Chengyan said with a bow.

After thanking him, Cao Shu walked into the tent.

Seeing that he entered the tent, Huang Chengyan's wife and Huang Yueying stood up to salute.

After returning the gift to the wife first, Cao Shu's eyes fell on Huang Yueying.

Only ten years old, Huang Yueying has not yet become a big girl.

She lowered her head, and Cao Shu saw many raised small bumps on her forehead.

"Can you ask the lady to raise your head?" Cao Shuo asked.

Huang Yueying did not look up, and Huang Chengyan said from the side: "Young Master, didn't you hear me?"

When his father spoke, Huang Yueying raised her head.

When she raised her head, Cao Shu understood why Mrs. Cai said that Huang Yueying has become uglier the older she has grown.

It’s not that her facial features are not good-looking, but that her skin is dark and her face and forehead are covered with small bumps like prickly heat.

Just one look, Cao Shu knew that Huang Yueying was not really ugly, but that there was something wrong with her skin.

If placed in two thousand years, such skin problems will be easily cured.

But now it is in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Not to mention the medicines for treating skin, the cosmetics used to make up for women are very simple.

In the eyes of many people, it is impossible for the pimples on Huang Yueying's face to be successfully cured.

Huang Yueying raised her head, Huang Chengyan said to Cao Shu with shame: "Young Master... it would be too late to regret it at this time..."

"Repent?" Cao Shu asked, "What do you regret?"

"The marriage between the young master and the little girl." Huang Chengyan said silly: "If you think it is inappropriate..."

"I think it's quite appropriate." Cao Shuo's answer not only surprised Huang Chengyan, but even his wife was inexplicably moved.

Huang Yueying is indeed ugly. Anyone who sees her in the past two years will show strange expressions.

Although few people say that their daughter is ugly in front of Huang Chengyan and his wife, the couple is like a mirror in their hearts.

Cao Shu was still the first person who did not reveal his dislike for Huang Yueying.

Walking to Huang Yueying, Cao Shu turned his head and smiled at Huang Chengyan and his wife: "When I return to Shouchun, I hope the lady can live in my place. When she gets married, I will give her two beautiful daughters."
