When they entered Yuzhou, the two armies had left separately.

Cao Shu and others, who were light and simple in transportation, marched much faster.

They no longer set up tents along the way. They would find a nearby city or village to stay in at night.

A few days later, they came outside Xudu City.

When Cao Shu entered the city, the people who received the news ran out of their homes to watch.

The people all wanted to see what kind of situation did the Cao family, the eldest son, who had just conquered the Huns and killed hundreds of thousands of Huns?

In fact, the Huns killed by Cao Shu only amounted to more than 100,000.

Although the bodies of the Huns had piled up like mountains, they were not as exaggerated as rumors.

But when the news spreads to the people, one will become two, and two will become five.

After a while, the version that the people of Xudu heard about was that he killed hundreds of thousands of Huns, and even captured the Huns' Great Khan and hanged upside down.

The people went out to watch, and the Cao army set out from the barracks.

They ran to the street and blocked the people on both sides of the road.

Riding on his "snow fox", Cao Shu walked slowly along the street while waving to the people.

The people also saluted him one after another, and some even shouted: "Young Master Zirong is mighty!"

Just because of defeating the Huns, Cao Shu's prestige in Xudu seemed to have been lifted up several levels overnight.

As he was walking along the street, Cao Shu saw a group of people coming towards him.

It was Cao Cao who rode a horse in front of the group of people.

When Cao Cao saw Cao, Cao Shu stepped forward.

Jumped off the horse, he bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Father, I'm back!"

Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao smiled at the corner of his mouth: "You are back."

"I'm back!" Cao Shu repeated.

"Get on the horse." Cao Cao's tone was very light, but Cao Shu heard that he was deliberately suppressing the excitement in his heart.

In fact, from another perspective, if Cao Shuo was Cao Cao, his son would have defeated a large army of a foreign race in the future and returned triumphantly, he would have been very proud of having such a son.

Cao Shu jumped onto the horse, and Ma Teng and Han Sui also came to Cao Cao.

The two greeted each other.

With a smile on his face, Cao Cao said, "Thank you for your hard work, two generals!"

Since Cao Cao came to greet him in person, Cao Shu could not walk in front on the way to the Cao family.

Ma Teng and Han Sui accompanied Cao Cao, Cao Shu and his staff who came to greet him, and the generals followed behind.

"The two generals first captured Guo Yuan, and then fought against the Huns with Zirong. Zirong had already told me in the letter." Cao Cao said to Ma Teng and Han Sui: "I have submitted a memorial to Your Majesty and begged Your Majesty to confer General Ma as the former general and General Han as the latter general. I wonder what the two generals mean?"

The positions of the generals in the front and rear were only lower than those of the left and right generals and generals. Generals can be said to have a very high status in the army.

After hearing what Cao Cao said, the two of them hurriedly thanked him.

Han Sui said: "We are just leading troops to help, but the real contribution is to make the young master. Mr. Cao should submit a request to His Majesty to express his merits to the young master."

"He is just a child with a yellow mouth." Cao Cao said: "Earlier, His Majesty had conferred him a Left General, but I feel that his official position and achievements are far from each other. Sooner or later, I beg His Majesty to take his Left General title, and if it were someone else."

"Mr. Cao said this, it is not fair to the young master." Han Sui said: "General Ma and I fought side by side with the young master. Along the way, I saw the young master make countless contributions. If it is really a reward for merit, I think the young master can be awarded a general if he says less!"

"General?" Cao Cao's tone seemed a little surprised. He looked back at Cao Shu, and then laughed: "General Han, don't joke. Although Zirong has made some contributions, he is still far away from the General."

"Didn't Cao just say that he planned to change General Zuo to someone else?" Ma Teng said from the side: "If you can really vacant General Zuo's official position, there is only one possibility, that is, if the young master becomes the general, the position of General Zuo can be granted to others."

"Two generals, please don't mention this matter again." Cao Cao waved his hand with a smile: "Zirong is still young, so he doesn't know how to use it for him to give him a high official title. If he can stabilize the present, he is already capable."

"I still think that the young master should be named a general." Han Sui was thinking about whether he should speak again, and Ma Teng had already said to Cao Cao: "If Cao Gong had such an idea, he would probably be unfair to the young master."

"Am I unfair to you?" Cao Cao looked back at Cao Shu and asked him.

Cao Shu replied: "It's exactly what my father does."

Grinning at Han Sui and Ma Teng, Cao Cao asked Cao Shu: "What do you mean, why not say it."

"Actually, my father and I have a very different idea." Cao Shuo said: "I am still young now. Being a left general is favored by the court. How can I still bear the position of a general? Even if I have to do it, I have to wait until I have been practicing for a few years and when I can truly hold the position of a general."

"Do you think you can firmly sit in the position of the general?" Although Cao Cao was asking Cao Shu, he seemed to be asking Ma Teng and Han Sui on the side.

Of course, Ma Teng and Han Sui would not express their opinions.

Cao Shu said: "It should be OK to sit firmly, but now that I have to do it, I will definitely offend many people. Some people covet this position for too long and have been fighting for it but have never succeeded. If I do it, these people will definitely hold a grudge and stumble on me openly or secretly. I am not afraid of them, but I just feel that if there are too many such things around me, it will really make me feel very disgusted."

"So, do you think you can sit steadily?" Cao Cao asked afterwards.

"It is inevitable to sit steadily, and it is also my own reason." Cao Shu said: "As my father said, I am still young and have a little unstable nature. Sometimes people of my age are more likely to be impulsive. Once they get impulsive, they may do things that are difficult to deal with. This will only increase my worries, so it is better not to consider these for the time being."

There are actually two reasons why Cao Shu doesn’t want to be a general.

The Han Dynasty had already declined and had been granted officials, but it was impossible for the court to pay salaries to officials.

In Cao Shu's opinion, this kind of business is only a loss but not a profit.

Rather than causing countless troubles for a false reputation, it is better to push it cleanly.

Cao Shu also said that he was unstable, so Ma Teng and Han Sui were not good at saying anything more.

Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Cao Cao asked them: "Dare you ask the two generals, Gui Geng this year?"

Cao Cao changed the subject, and Ma Teng and Han Sui certainly wanted to end the embarrassment at the moment, and the content of the three of them revolved around their age.
