    Cao Cao's expectation was exactly what he expected. If Xiao Yi's marching speed could be described in four words, it would be as fast as wind and fire!

    The journey from Chang'an to Xudu is more than 1,100 miles long. During this period, we not only have to cross the rugged Qinling Mountains, but also cross two turbulent rivers, Luoshui and Yingshui. For ordinary people to complete such a long-distance march, they need at least one person.  It took many months, but Xiao Yi only took thirteen days!

    Thirteen days later, a total of 70,000 troops appeared outside the city of Xuchang. The team stretched for more than ten miles, with flags fluttering and horns blowing. The civil and military officials in the city were shocked and their jaws dropped. People wiped their hands.  Eyes, while exclaiming, "Did they fly over?"

    After this hurried march of thousands of miles, Xiao Yi was honored to get a new nickname~~Thirteenth in a Night~, oh, no, it's 'Xiao Thirteenth Lang!  ¡¯

    There are various reasons for such an astonishing marching speed. First of all, after receiving the "Tiger Talisman" from Cao Cao to mobilize troops, Xiao Yi did not delay at all and immediately ordered Ma Liu to take charge of Chang'an instead of him and take charge of everything in Guanzhong.  He had military and political power, and left 60,000 troops to defend various passes; although he and Ma Chao had a ten-year oath of non-aggression, in this troubled world, the most binding thing is the oath, which is worthless and can be torn up at any time.  Yes, it¡¯s still an oath, so I have to be careful!

    After arrangements were made to stay behind, the men and horses of each battalion set out overnight. Xiao Yi's army had many horses, such as the black armored cavalry that had just expanded to 10,000 people. On average, each soldier had three horses. After taking turns to ride, they rode one day and one night.  They can run for 300 miles. During this thousand-mile march, they actually walked at a slower pace. The other battalions also had no shortage of mules and horses to travel, so the marching speed was naturally faster!

    Secondly, the army did not carry too much food and grass. Xiao Yi only asked each soldier to bring half a month's rations. With internal affairs geniuses like Xun Yu and Xun You, as long as he rushed to Xudu, he was still worried about not having enough food and grass supplies.  ?

    Finally, the Yellow Squirrel and the 'Digging Army' also played an important role. They usually dig for treasures everywhere. Once a war breaks out, they are the best engineering troops. Whether it is a rugged mountain road or a rough river, they can quickly dig out treasures.  A passage is coming to ensure that the army can move forward unimpeded!

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    There are still thirty miles away from Xudu, and the eldest son Cao Ang is waiting at the roadside on behalf of his father. He also brings a large amount of cattle, sheep, wine, rice and noodles to reward the soldiers who have come a long way

    "Great Governor, thank you for your hard work, all the soldiers!" Cao Ang did not have the intimidating aura of his father who was calm and intimidating. He always had a warm smile on his face, like a spring breeze, which made it easy for people to like him.  !

    "Thank you, the eldest son, I will be ashamed to accept it!" Face is given to each other. When people go out of the city to greet them, Xiao Yi naturally returns the greeting respectfully. Furthermore, he still has a certain affection for the eldest son of the Cao family, although it is not  He is the master of creation, but if he has a decent family fortune, he can still keep it with Cao Ang's ability!

    After some more humility, the two finally rode back to the city, surrounded by thousands of troops and horses. Looking at the team of gold-armed horses and the majestic Xiao Yi, the eldest son Cao Ang couldn't help but sigh,  "Only a father with great talent and strategy can conquer such a peerless general. As for myself, it's really hard to say"

    The thirty-mile journey is reached in an instant.

    Xudu ~ South Gate, green umbrella canopy, gongs and drums are noisy, Prime Minister Cao Cao and a group of civil and military officials are here to greet him personally. For a general who has returned from an expedition, it can be said to be a great honor!

    "General Xiao Yi pays homage to the Prime Minister!" When he was still more than ten feet away from the city gate, Xiao Yi got off his horse and bowed. Behind him, the three brothers Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhi knelt down and saluted.  They not only worshiped the prime minister, but also worshiped their father!

    "Xiao Lang, please excuse me, you are really insulting me!" Cao Cao opened his arms and greeted him with a big smile. It felt like he was looking at his beloved general and his son-in-law. He was satisfied no matter what!

    "See you, Father!" The Cao brothers knelt down and walked a few steps, their faces full of excitement!

    "Come here, let me see if there are any changes!" In the nature of father and son, Cao Cao pulled his three sons to his side and looked at them carefully one by one. Well, not bad, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and they have all grown taller.  My face is tanned, my arms are thicker, and I am more energetic. Especially in the eyes of my sons, there is a wild light all over them. They feel like three little wolf cubs howling, healthy and lively.  , angry!

    "It's better to be like a wolf. In troubled times, it's better to have children like sheep than to have children like wolves!" Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction., Cao Cao took Xiao Yi back to the Prime Minister's Mansion, where a sumptuous banquet had already been prepared to welcome the soldiers who had returned from the expedition.

    It stands to reason that when a general returns from an expedition, he should first go to bow to the emperor and report on military matters. But now, Cao Cao won't mention it, officials don't dare to mention it, and Xiao Yi doesn't want to mention it. For a little emperor who has no rights at all  Generally speaking, only by staying in the palace honestly can you live longer!

    "Not seeing you can be regarded as a kind of love in disguise!"

    "My lords, because of the Prime Minister's great talent and strategy, and because of Xiao Lang's invincible bravery, it is worth drinking three cups!"

    "Win the drink! Win the drink! Win the drink!"

    At the banquet, Xiao Yigao sat in the first place on the right hand, only a few feet away from Cao Cao who was in charge. He raised his glass to drink with the officials who came to toast. The other generals also raised their glasses and drank happily.  Xu Huang, who was sitting in the back, was suffering. His hands were all blue and swollen. He couldn't even pick up the chopsticks, let alone the wine glass. He couldn't let the servants come to feed him. He could only watch others drinking and eating meat in depression. Today  He felt that he would remember the lesson he learned for the rest of his life. In this world, no one succeeded casually.

    "My little lady, I sincerely wish the Governor a triumphant return and long-lasting military fortune!" The appearance of Cao Jie, the second daughter of the Cao family, pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax. A pure gold wine bowl three times larger than a human head attracted everyone's attention.  Applause!

    "The Governor is incomparable, drink! Drink! Drink!"

    The generals under his command shook their fists and shouted, cheering for Xiao Yi. At the same time, they also knew Cao Cao's thoughts clearly, "The Prime Minister really has good eyesight. You can't find such a son-in-law riding a dragon even with a lantern. It's a pity that he started too late.  You must know that there is a girl in your family who is waiting to be married!"

    But if a man has three wives and four concubines, he still has a good chance!

    "Thank you for the toast, girl. I won't forget it without worry!" Xiao Yi held the golden bowl in his hand. He first looked at the tall and slim girl in front of him, then turned around and bowed to Cao Cao, and then put the bowl in his hands amidst the cheers of the whole hall.  Drink all the wine in one gulp!

    He used to call the daughters of the Cao family sister, to show the good relationship between the family, but now "sister" has become "girl". It seems that the relationship is far away, but in fact it is closer!

    You must know that girls can only be friends and share the same love with brothers and sisters, but girls can become a more intimate relationship, such as a family!

    Cao Jie was extremely smart and naturally understood the difference. Although his face turned red with embarrassment, he still sat aside obediently, adding dishes and pouring wine for Xiao Yi. He saw Cao Cao laughing heartily on the main seat, and all the Cao brothers also laughed.  They clapped their hands and some even made faces!

    This banquet is more appropriately called an ¡®engagement banquet¡¯ than a ¡®feast to welcome the wind¡¯!

    As for the phrase ¡®no teeth will be forgotten¡¯, haha, smart people can also understand it as ¨C ¡®hold your hand and grow old together with you!  ¡¯

    Xiao Yi still likes Cao Jie very much. The little girl has a beautiful figure and appearance. Although she is not as evil as Cai Wenji, she is still a first-class beauty. What is even more commendable is that this girl is virtuous and virtuous. She has no trace of her father.  He became pampered due to his power, and he was sincere to himself. This can be seen from the 'Sichuan Brocade Hundred Flowers War Robe', every stitch is so meticulous!

    What's more, Cao Jie also has a little-known advantage, that is, "soft on the outside and strong on the inside". Xiao Yi clearly remembers that in the original historical time and space, when Cao Wei usurped the Han Dynasty, this little girl did "go to the palace and scold him"  Although her brother's feat failed to change anything in the end, she did the duty of a wife - to never leave her, to depend on each other for life and death!

    So, let the past drift away with the wind, cherish the person in front of you. Being able to marry such a wife is also a great blessing in life!

    That night, Xiao Yi drank until midnight in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Under the congratulations of everyone, he finally got drunk. Then he was helped out by the Cao brothers and slept directly in the back house of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Are they a family?  , no need to be polite!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
