Bao Xin rode horseback and ran day and night.

He was so frightened that the thieves would catch up.

The scene of the follower beside him being stabbed to death by a flying knife was still replaying in his mind. deeply stimulated his emotions

"Huh...huh……"

Bao Xin, who had no idea how far he had run, looked back again.

When he was sure that no one was catching up, he stopped and took a rest.

"The general sent me out to recruit soldiers. I spent the military pay, but I couldn't bring back a single soldier."

"What should I do?"

Although he escaped and ascended to heaven, he faced a bigger problem.

If he returned directly to Luoyang, he would be subject to military law at the least, and at worst he would be pushed out and beheaded.

Bao Xinxin thought about it and decided not to return like this.

He didn't know what to do. A figure appeared in his mind

"yes!"

Bao Xin slapped his thigh fiercely and jumped up from the big rock.

"How to forget him"

"The resourceful Meng De must have a solution!"

Thinking of this, Bao Xin mounted his horse, looked up at the sky to determine the direction, and galloped towards the southeast.

……

Qiaojun.

In the lobby of a village outside the county town, a dozen men were sitting around having a banquet.

"Cousins, let’s drink together!"

The host Cao Ren, who was sitting on the main seat, raised his wine cup to invite wine.

"Drink together!"

Cao Cao raised his wine cup and invited others in the hall to drink together.

Xiahou Dun, Xia Houyuan, and Cao Hong raised their wine cups one after another.

Cao Cao raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp, and then said boldly:"Zixiao, your manor is well organized. It’s really enviable.

Cao Ren humbly replied:"This is all the result of my disciple Lian.""

Cao Hongjian mentioned him and sat up straight with a red face.

Cao Cao changed his attitude and said seriously:"My disciples, I am returning from Luoyang this time to recruit troops for the general."

Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan looked at each other and saw excitement on each other's faces.

Cao Ren and Cao Hong were the same.

They all wanted to go to Luoyang with Cao Cao and make a name for themselves.

Cao Ren took the initiative and said:"Cousin, I have more than a thousand brothers. , often swim between the Huaihe River and Surabaya River"

"You can help your cousin! Xiahou

Dun was also unwilling to lag behind and immediately said:"Cousin Mengde, my two brothers are quite famous in Qiao County.""

"You can recruit soldiers for your cousin."

The atmosphere in the hall instantly became lively.

Not only did a few older tribesmen speak up, but several other young people also responded enthusiastically.

Cao Ren's younger brother Cao Chun, and tribe members Cao Xiu and Cao Shao all spoke up.

If you have money, give money, and if you have food, Food.

Without any hesitation.

Cao Cao felt relieved

"Everyone, please listen to me."

He opened his mouth to interrupt the noise in the lobby.

After it quieted down, Cao Cao said while everyone was watching.

"Zixiao's manpower is temporarily retained."

In Cao Ren's disappointed expression, Cao Cao explained

"The fight in the court has just begun, we can't bet too much at once"

"Zixiao's manpower should not neglect training, as a preparation, and be ready to rush to Luoyang at a critical moment."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Cao Ren's disappointment disappeared and turned into happiness.

He raised his hands and said in salute:"Don't worry, cousin."

"I will work hard and never slack off."

Cao Cao continued to make arrangements:"This time, the Xiahou brothers will go to Qiao County to recruit troops."

"Target 1,000 people"

"This is the time to employ people. If anyone is found to be outstanding in martial arts, he will be promoted to one level."

"After a little reorganization after recruitment, you two will take the soldiers and rush to Luoyang with me."

"promise!"Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan were very excited. They stood up and bowed their hands in salute and responded loudly.

After the important matters were discussed, the other clansmen felt a little lonely.

Cao Cao comforted him and said:"Don't worry, my clan brothers, as long as I, Cao Mengde, am in the court for one day, all of you will be here. Brother's way out."

Carrying the wine jar and walking down to the guest seat, he filled the cups for everyone.

"Come!"

Cao Cao raised the wine cup in his hand and invited him to drink, saying:"Drink this cup to the full!"

Before he drank the wine, a servant walked in quickly and whispered in Cao Ren's ear.

"Cousin, a friend has come from afar to look for you."Cao Ren put down his wine cup and said

"oh? Just as Cao Cao was about to drink, he paused and quickly asked,"Who is he?""

"The visitor called himself Bao Xin from Pingyang, Mount Tai."The servant replied

"Captain Bao? Cao Cao thought for a moment, frowned and asked,"How many people will you bring?""

The slave replied:"Ride alone and be disheveled."

"oh?"Cao Cao was stunned.

Both he and Bao Xin were out of the capital to recruit troops, how could they ride alone and be disheveled?

All kinds of thoughts flashed in his mind, and Cao Cao, with his eyes darting around, immediately made up his mind.

He quickly rushed out of the lobby. ,"Follow me and welcome it quickly!"

Cao Ren followed closely with the others.

Bao Xin stood outside the manor, enduring hunger.

Looking into the courtyard through the gate, a short figure ran quickly, even his shoes escaped halfway.

"Bao...Captain?"Cao Cao, who rushed out the door, couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Bao Xin throwing away his armor.

"……"Bao Xin's nose felt sore and he almost cried on the spot.

Cao Cao quickly stepped forward to help him,"Bao Duwei quickly followed me into the village."

"Let’s eat wine and food first, then talk about other things."

Bao Xin was extremely grateful for what Cao Cao had done.

As the saying goes

, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Bao Xin felt that it was the wisest decision for him to come all the way to find Cao Cao.

He entered the lobby under the leadership of Cao Cao and sat down without saying a word. He lowered his head and ate wildly. He ate like a homeless man in the mountains.

Cao Ren and other tribesmen were puzzled by this behavior. After having enough wine and food, Bao Xin hesitated to speak.

Cao Cao said:"Brother Bao, don't worry, everyone here is The core children of our clan, no matter what happens to them, it doesn’t matter."

Bao Xin took a deep breath and slowly told the story.

"Was Qiaojiawu Fort captured by tens of thousands of thieves?"Cao Cao frowned.

He was thinking fast, but he carefully discovered that Bao Xin's eyes were very evasive.
