That night, Cao Zhang slept very uneasy.

The Cao family's house is very large, and it is impossible to hear Mrs. Huan crying in his place, but he always vaguely feels crying in his ears.

Throughout the night, Cao Zhang sat up several times in dismay.

As soon as it was dawn, he got up and left his residence.

He did not go to Mrs. Bian's place again, but Cao Zhang came to Ding Yao's residence instead.

Unexpectedly, he would come so early, and Ding Yao washed up and asked the maid to lead him into the house.

When he saw Cao Zhang, Ding Yao asked, "Why did you come to see me early in the morning? Is there anything important?"

"I came here just to remind my mother that I must be careful when I am alone in Yecheng, but I dare not let my elder brother worry." Cao Zhang bowed and said.

He is also Mrs. Bian's son. Although he is working with Cao Shu, Ding Yao still treats him in some ways.

Looking at him in confusion, Ding Yao asked, "You came to see me to say this?"

"That's right." Cao Zhang replied: "I'm going to return to Shouchun today. Do you want my mother to bring anything to my elder brother?"

"I have nothing to bring to him," Ding Yao said: "When you come to Shouchun, just tell him not to just fight and kill all day long, and you have to take care of yourself."

"I've recorded it." Cao Zhang responded, and he opened his mouth again as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.

"Is there anything else to say?" Ding Yao asked when he was about to say something but stopped.

Cao Zhang swallowed and said to Ding Yao: "My mother stays in Yecheng, be careful of her second brother..."

He never expected that he would say such things, Ding Yao asked, "Why did you think of telling me this?"

"It's nothing, just be careful of him." Cao Zhang bowed and saluted: "I won't delay my mother, I'll take my leave first."

Cao Zhang retreated and saw him going out, Ding Yao felt confused.

He and Cao Pi were obviously born to the same mother, so why did he come over and remind him to be careful of Cao Pi?

After leaving Ding Yao's residence, Cao Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

The only one who deserves Cao Shu’s concern and does not have enough strength to protect himself is Ding Yao.

As long as she can be wary of Cao Pi in the future, Cao Shu should be at ease.

He went to Cao Cao again and said goodbye. Cao Zhang asked someone to call Cao Xian and four other ladies and left the Cao family.

When leaving the city, Cao Jie lifted the curtain and looked back.

When he rode his horse to her carriage, Cao Zhang asked, "Do you want to leave Yecheng?"

"Yes." Cao Jie replied softly.

"What's good about Yecheng?" Cao Zhang said: "I'm intrigue here, and I don't even want to let my brothers go. I don't want to stay here for a long time."

"The third brother means..." Cao Jie asked him in surprise.

"I don't mean anything." Cao Zhang said: "You don't have to guess what I mean. All I can tell you is that Shouchun is much better than here."

Cao Zhang knew how to hate Yecheng, and Cao Jie didn't dare to ask any more questions and put down the curtain of the car.

Cao Zhang received Cao Xian and other sisters from Yecheng. When he was rushing to Shouchun, two large armies were confronting each other in Guiyang in Jingzhou.

Guiyang garrison Zhao Fan stood at the top of the city, looking at the Jiangdong Army outside the city. Not far from the side of the Jiangdong Army, there was a soldier holding the Cao family battle flag.

A military general next to Zhao Fan said, "The prefect, the Sun family in Jiangdong is more than our soldiers. This battle is really..."

The military general who spoke was Chen Ying, the general under Zhao Fan.

"What is it?" Zhao Fan said: "We no longer have to fight against the enemy independently, we should be grateful."

"What the prefect said is." Chen Ying replied.

Leading an army of 50,000 to Guiyang, Zhou Yu had only been besieged for a few days, and Cao's army that had arrived from Xiangyang had arrived.

Cao's army was not large, but the position occupied by the Jiangdong army could not be broken by the Jiangdong army at will.

Zhuma stood under Yu Shuai's banner, and Zhou Yu looked at the Guiyang City Wall in the distance.

Zhou Tai beside him asked, "Grandmaster, when will the attack be launched?"

"No hurry." Zhou Yu said: "Pang Shiyuan sent troops from Yangzhou. It would not be too late to attack after Lu Boyan defeated Pang Tong and joined forces with us."

"Pang Shiyuan led all warriors." Zhou Tai asked, "Can Lu Boyan be his opponent?"

"Why is it not his opponent?" Zhou Yu said: "Don't forget that the more than 10,000 troops led by Pang Shiyuan are mostly your and my old subordinates in Jiangdong."

"In other words, can Lu Boyan instigate the enemy?" Zhou Tai asked.

"There is this possibility." Zhou Yu said: "It hasn't been long since the Cao family has captured Jiangdong. Your and my old subordinates still have no sense of belonging to them, so it is not impossible to instigate them."

"I hope that the Grand Governor's wish can be fulfilled." Zhou Tai replied.

Cheng Yu led his army to aid Guiyang, and Pang Tong immediately sent more troops.

The one who led two thousand men as the pioneer was General Yan Liang.

Carrying a big sword, he walked in front of the team. Seeing that he entered the boundary of Jingzhou, Yan Liang found that there were black figures in front of him.

After slamming the war horses, Yan Liang shouted: "There are enemy troops ahead, and the whole army is on guard."

The soldiers following him stopped in formation.

As Zhou Yu said, most of the soldiers led by Pang Tong during this expedition were old subordinates of the Jiangdong Army.

Although they haven't had much time under Cao Shu's command, they are not as lacking in belonging as Zhou Yu thought.

When we were in the Jiangdong Army, the soldiers were satisfied with being able to eat coarse grains every day.

Now there is meat every meal in the army, and their food is even better than that of officials.

Moreover, as long as they go to the battle, the army will pay food and pay to subsidize their household income every month.

When they were not going to war, the soldiers who settled in the military village had fields and women, and their lives were very stable.

With such a life, who would still be willing to return to the era when the Sun family was in charge of Jiangdong?

Two thousand soldiers were waiting for the arrival of the enemy.

Yan Liang saw the Jiangdong army coming towards him, and Lu Xun also saw them.

Stopped the army, Lu Xun ordered a soldier: "Most of the soldiers brought by Pang Shiyuan are old subordinates in Jiangdong. If you go and persuade them to return to the Sun family, you will say that as long as you are willing to surrender to the Sun family, you will not blame them."

After receiving the order, the soldiers rode out.

When he arrived at the place where the soldiers under Yan Liang could hear his voice, the soldiers stopped their war horses and shouted: "If you once belonged to the old subordinates of Jiangdong, you should be fine. If the Wu Hou counterattacks the Cao family, you will definitely not be able to stay wherever the army goes. As long as you are willing to turn against Wu Hou, you can be blamed for your crime of betraying the Sun family."

No one paid attention to the army led by Yan Liang.

The Cao army soldiers scoffed at what he called out.

If you work for the Sun family, you will only be willing to blame them. If you die in the battle in the future, you will not get any benefits.
