Cao Qiuping came to Xun You and knelt down, saying, "I will meet you!"

Xun You said, "Miss Cao, my military advisor asked you, is the person lying there your father?"

"That's right," Cao Qiuping replied affirmatively: "It's the father of my family."

Xun You turned his gaze to Cao Shiliu and others who were kneeling aside, and then asked: "I will ask you again, are these people behind you from your Cao Mansion?"

Cao Qiuping turned her head and looked at it, then nodded vigorously, and said, "That's right, they are all servants of the slave family, and the person in charge is Cao Shiliu."

Seeing that Cao Qiuping admitted that these people were his servants and that the information was in line with what Cao Shiliu said, Xun You waved to the soldiers holding weapons and signaled them to retreat aside. In order not to delay the army's journey, Xun You took the initiative to say to Zhao Yun: "General Zhao, you might as well take the army to the front to set up camp and leave me a group of troops. After handling the matter here, this military advisor will go to the military camp."

Zhao Yun did not object to Xun You's proposal. After all, they had just repelled the Yellow Turban Thiefs, and there might be their scattered soldiers nearby. If they were taken lightly, they might be attacked by them. So they left a song of elite cavalry for Xun You and then led the army forward. Taishi Ci, who was originally beside him, felt sincerely happy for Cao Qiuping when he saw the reunion of the Cao family's father and daughter. He felt that he could not get involved in the next thing, so he turned his horse and followed Zhao Yun's army to the barracks.

"Tell me," Xun You and other troops left, then asked Cao Shiliu: "The distance from Caojiazhuang to this place should not be close. Why has Mr. Cao not woke up until now?"

Hearing Xun You's question, Cao Shiliu smiled bitterly and said, "After the words of the master, it's about twenty miles from Caojiazhuang to the county town. The villain was in a hurry at that time, and maybe he was a little heavier, so that my master has not yet woken up."

Only then did Cao Qiuping realize that the reason why her father was unconscious was Cao Shiliu's masterpiece. She walked to Cao Shiliu, grabbed his clothes, and asked excitedly: "Cao Shiliu, my Cao family is not bad to you, why did you attack my father so fiercely?"

"Miss, you misunderstood." Cao Shiliu did not defend himself, but a servant next to him took the initiative to explain the reason to Cao Qiuping: "If it weren't for Shiliulang, I'm afraid we would have died at the hands of the Yellow Turban Thieves."

When Cao Qiuping heard the servant say this, she knew that she had blamed Cao Shiliu by mistake. She quickly let go of her hand and asked Cao Shiliu curiously: "Shiliulang, what's going on? Tell me quickly."

"Miss, since I heard you talk about the incident of the Red Corpse, I have been paying attention to the movements nearby." Cao Shiliu quickly replied: "Today, I met a people outside the village who escaped from the north. He said that there were tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves coming towards the direction where our village was. After hearing this, the villain immediately returned to the village to report to the master. Who knew that Master Zhou was also there at that time, and he actually said that the villain was spreading rumors and causing trouble. There was no possibility of any Yellow Turban thief. The villain was worried that the master was in danger, so he was in a hurry and knocked him out, carried him and ran out..."

When Xun You listened to Cao Shiliu's story, he looked at his burly figure, then looked at Cao Man who was lying on the ground, with a fat body, and thought to himself that Shiliu Lang was quite strong, and he actually ran for more than ten or twenty miles with his master, but he was not exhausted. However, when he heard the red corpse qi mentioned by Cao Shiliu, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

Logically speaking, the Cao family's father and daughter reunite, and they should go back to the city to his other courtyard. Unexpectedly, after listening to Cao Shiliuer and others' remarks, Cao Qiuping suddenly made a request to Xun You: "Sir, I want to go back to Zhuangzi to see you. I wonder if you can send someone to escort me for a journey?"

"There must be many Yellow Turban thieves in Caojiazhuang." Xun You said hesitantly at Cao Qiuping's request: "It's better not to return to Caojiazhuang in two days after the army clears the remnants of the Yellow Turban near the county town."

"Sir." Seeing that Xun You disagreed with his request, Cao Qiuping said anxiously: "There are many good sisters in my family, and I probably didn't have time to escape from Zhuangzi. Maybe I'll rush back now, maybe I can still save them."

Xun You originally wanted to reject Cao Qiuping's request, but then he thought about it, but remembered the red corpse gas that Cao Shiliu had mentioned. In order to figure out what was going on, he said hesitantly: "Miss Cao wants to go back to Zhuangzi to see it. This military advisor can bring people to escort him in person. But you are a weak woman, you may not be able to ride a horse, but you are afraid you still need to prepare a carriage."

"Sir, don't need to prepare a carriage." Cao Qiuping and Xun You finished speaking, immediately replied: "I have been skilled in archery and horse riding since I was a child, so riding horses is no problem."

Xun You was not surprised at all when he heard that Cao Qiuping could ride a horse. After all, there was a female general named Xiahou Yun in Jizhou. She was also skilled in archery and horses, so she quickly ordered a knight to give up her mount.

Cao Qiuping turned over and ordered Cao Shiliu: "Shiliu Lang, go to the car and get the weapons of my slave."

Two incense sticks, Cao Qiuping heard the soldiers in the army say that she had caught several Yellow Turban thieves in front of her, so she asked Mrs. Cao to sit in the carriage and wait, and went to see what happened alone, but she found out that it was her father and a group of servants. Because she was so excited, and Xun You kept asking questions, she forgot to send someone to inform Mrs. Cao of the news.

Cao Shiliu hurried to the location of Mrs. Cao Fu, an old man who was guarding outside the carriage, couldn't help but ask excitedly: "Isn't this Shiliu Lang? I wonder where the master is now?"

"Uncle Fu," Cao Shiliu bowed to Cao Fu and replied respectfully: "Before the Yellow Turban Thief rushed into the village, I ran out with the master and a few family members. Now the master is safe and sound, and the lady is right in front of me."

When Cao Fu learned that his master was still alive, he was overjoyed and quickly said to the carriage with curtains hanging on his curtains: "Madam, I'm so happy. The master is still alive. Now I'm talking to the lady in front."

"What, the master is still alive?" Mrs. Cao suddenly opened the curtain when she heard the news and asked in surprise: "Is this all true?"

"The villain came to see Mrs. Cao." Seeing Mrs. Cao emerge from the carriage, Cao Shiliu quickly saluted her and said respectfully: "The villain had already rescued the master before the Yellow Turban Thief rushed into the village. But..."

Seeing Cao Shiliu's desire to speak but stop, Mrs. Cao was anxious: "But what? Shiliulang, please speak quickly."

"When the villain reported the news to the master, Mr. Zhou was also present. When he heard the villain telling the incident of the Yellow Turban Thief, he actually sneered and said that the villain colluded with the lady to deceive the master." Cao Shiliu said carefully: "When the situation was not good, the villain quickly knocked the master out of his mind and carried him out of the village. Maybe he was in a hurry and was too heavy to attack the master, so he had not woken up yet."

After hearing Cao Shiliu's words, Mrs. Cao didn't bother to blame him and quickly urged: "Hurry up and take me to the master's place."

After arriving at the location where Xun You and Cao Qiuping were, Mrs. Cao saw Cao Man lying on the roadside, hurriedly got out of the car and told Cao Fu: "Cao Fu, hurry up and carry the master into the car."

After everyone lifted Cao Man onto the carriage, Mrs. Cao saw Cao Qiuping riding on the horse, carrying a treasure bow behind her back and holding a spear in her hand. She couldn't help but ask in panic: "Ping'er, what are you going to do?"

"Mom, I want to go back to the village to see, there are still a few sisters there who haven't escaped."

"No, no." When she heard that her daughter was going back to Zhuangzi, Mrs. Cao hurriedly opposed it, "It's too dangerous to go there. Even if she wants to go, she has to wait until the officers and soldiers repel the Yellow Turban Thief before going back."

"Mom, when we go back now, we may be able to rescue a lot of people from the village." Seeing that his mother opposed her return to the village, Cao Qiuping quickly explained to him: "The officers and soldiers must first clear the Yellow Turban thieves around the county town before they can draw troops to our village. Everything will be too late."

When Mrs. Cao heard Cao Qiuping say this, she knew that even if she persuaded her, she would not be able to change her mind. She could only say helplessly: "Ping'er, since that's the case, you should be more careful."

Seeing that Cao Qiuping was ready to set off, Xun You called a sergeant and said to him: "You will lead these people into the city and tell General Zhao that this military advisor has taken people to Caojiazhuang."

…………

As a guide, Cao Qiuping walked in front of the troops.

Xun You and her walked side by side and asked curiously: "Miss Cao, I just heard your servants tell you that you guessed based on the celestial phenomena a few days before the Yellow Turban Thief attacked. I wonder if this is the case?"

Cao Qiuping did not deny Xun You's question. She nodded and said, "That's right. The slave family saw the red corpse qi that appeared in the sky based on the skills taught by the family master. It is said that this qi is also known as sprinkling blood in military books. The country is destroyed, the army is defeated, and the city is defeated. Wherever it is covered, within seven days, the sword will rise and the creatures will suffer."

When Xun You heard this, he couldn't help but take a breath and asked, "Dare you ask Miss Cao, I wonder who you are studying under?"

"When I was young, there was a Taoist who taught me some skills in managing the celestial phenomena in my family." Cao Qiuping said hesitantly: "When he left, my father asked him for his name, and he only said that he was Zuo Ci."

"It turned out to be Zuo Ci." Xun You nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It turned out to be him, no wonder!"

Cao Qiuping looked at Xun You and asked curiously: "Does Lord Xun recognize his family teacher?"

Xun You nodded and replied: "I once met once, but I don't have any close friends."

Cao Qiuping wanted to ask something more, but she heard a burst of rapid horse hooves coming from the front. She looked in the direction where the sound came. It turned out that it was Xun You who sent the horse to Caojiazhuang. Seeing the horse coming back, Cao Qiuping's heart couldn't help but raise her throat. She was eager to know the situation in the village, but she was afraid to know the current situation in the village.

Just as the heavens and man were fighting in her heart, she heard the horse report to Xun You: "Qi reported to the military advisor, the villain arrived near Caojiazhuang and found that half of the village had caught fire, and corpses were everywhere outside the village..."

After Xun You and others spoke, they asked again: "I wonder how many Yellow Turban Thieves are still there in the village?"

Tan Ma hesitated for a moment, then replied: "According to the observation of the villain, there are no less than five thousand."

"Five thousand people?!" After hearing what Tan Ma said, Xun You couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had only five hundred people under his command, and he would probably have no chance of winning against other people's 5,000 people. He called the accompanying Junhou and asked, "Junhou, did you hear it? There are not many five thousand people in the village for the horse. Look, should we continue moving forward or turn back to the earth drum?"

"Return to the military advisor," Junhou heard Xun You ask himself and quickly replied: "In the opinion of his subordinates, let's continue to move forward. Although we only have five hundred people, there is no problem in dealing with thousands of ragtag Yellow Turbans."

When Cao Qiuping heard Xun You's question, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She was very afraid that Xun You would be worried that the Yellow Turban Thief was powerful, so she turned around. Although she knew a little martial arts, her fists could not match four hands. With her own strength, even if she could kill several Yellow Turban Thiefs, she would end up burning her with both jade and stone in the end.

Fortunately, Junhou's words calmed down her mood. No matter what, the five hundred well-trained Jizhou cavalry were quite sure to win against the mobs who had just picked up their weapons.

…………

At this moment, the two of Qu Shuai Liu Shi and Ping Han were sitting in the Cao family's reception room, drinking while chatting. Liu Shi said to Ping Han: "I don't know if Zuo Wang and Zhangba and two men have taken down Tugu County, they will not send anyone to inform us."

"Although the walls of Tugu County are not high, the water in the moat is shallow." Ping Han picked up the wine bottle and took a sip and said, "But Zuo Yu and the two sieges lacked the equipment to attack the city, and they could not take the county town for a while. It was still our brothers who were lucky. They broke the two villages in a row and snatched a lot of money and women. If Zuo Yu and the others knew about it, they would not envy them to death."

"By the way, the few women you snatched by your men are good." Liu Shi said with a lewd smile: "Can you give me two later?"

"Brother Liu, it is said that women are like clothes, and brothers are like brothers." Pinghan grinned and said, "Whoever you like, just pick them up. It's just that when you are too rich, brother can take care of your brothers more."

"Don't worry," Seeing Ping Han so generous, Liu Shi also acted generously: "When we share our property on the other day, we will be four or six, and you will be six and I will be four. How about it, are you more righteous for your brother, right?"

"For righteousness," Liu Shi raised the wine bottle in his hand in the Pinghan Dynasty: "Come on, Brother Liu, let's drink this cup together."

Just as the two were drinking happily, a bandit soldier suddenly rushed in and reported to them: "Two coaches, the big thing is not good, and officers and soldiers appeared outside the village."
