The strong men who accompanied Cao Zhang were all elite soldiers selected by Lu Bu from the army.

Their task is to train Cao Zhang.

Sitting in the yard, Cao Shu watched Cao Zhang and the strong men fight.

Compared to last time, he found that Cao Zhang's martial arts had improved a lot.

After knocking down a few strong men, Cao Zhang put down his weapons, walked to Cao Shuo and bowed and said, "Martial arts are unfamiliar, I am afraid it will be a smear of my brother."

"It's not that exaggerated, much better than the previous few days." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "According to this process, you will be able to travel around the battlefield soon."

"If it weren't for my brother, I wouldn't have been today." Cao Zhang said: "It's all the benefits my brother gave me."

"I'm here to discuss something with you." Cao Shu asked, "Did you feel bored and want to go out for a walk during your days in Shouchun?"

"I really don't feel bored when practicing martial arts all day long," Cao Zhang said, "But when my brother said this, I really seem to have been in Shouchun for a lot."

"Do you want to go out for a walk with me?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Where to go?" Cao Zhang asked.

"Yizhou and Zhuyazhou." Cao Shuo said: "But now it's almost summer, and it must be so hot there that it's unbearable!"

"Brother is not afraid of heat, can I still be afraid of heat?" Cao Zhang smiled and said, "As long as my brother is willing to take me there, I will definitely follow you."

"There are some natives in Yizhou and Zhuyazhou." Cao Shuo said: "I am not very clear whether they are friendly or hostile to us. This time I went out not for war, so I will only take General Deng and General Zhu..."

"With me, I don't need to bring other generals." Cao Zhang took over the conversation and said, "Although I can't compare with other generals under my brother's command, I'm still more than enough to deal with a few natives."

"Don't go too confidently." Cao Shuo stood up and patted his shoulder, and said to him: "If my father gives you to me, I will have to send you back completely."

"Brother, I want to discuss something with you." Cao Zhang said.

"What do you want?" Cao Shu asked: "Do you feel that the weapons are not good at helping you, and you want to change them to a new one?"

"The weapon is a little lighter." Cao Zhang said: "But this is not what I want to say."

"you say!"

"I want to stay in Shouchun and follow my elder brother in the future." Cao Zhang said: "The elder brother has never failed in the battles in the south and north in recent years. I can learn more about following my elder brother."

Cao Shu shook his head: "You still have to go back to Yecheng."

"Why?" Cao Zhang asked in confusion.

"You are the young master of the Cao family. If you have military achievements in the future, your father will definitely receive a reward." Cao Shuo said: "When you have troops under you, wouldn't you be able to make achievements for the Cao family?"

Cao Shu's words were reasonable.

But Cao Zhang still seemed a little disappointed.

He said to Cao Shuo: "Actually, I don't want to follow my father, just because I'm afraid my father will send me to my second brother's place."

"What's wrong with getting to him?" Cao Shuo asked.

"The elder brother is not unaware of his second brother's character." Cao Zhang said: "Last time you said he had a covetous desire for the Cao family. I got close to my elder brother. With the temperament of my second brother, can he spare me? When he got under his command, he found an excuse to kill him."

"You are the young master of the Cao family, how dare he?" With a smile, Cao Shu patted his shoulder: "I really don't want to go. When you see your father in the future, and tell him that he is willing to stay in Shouchun, his father should agree."

"I feel relieved if my elder brother said this." Cao Zhang replied.

"I still have some things, and it will take a few days to go to Yizhou." Cao Shuo said: "Prepare these days and bring all the things you should bring. If you feel that the weapons are not good, I will ask the craftsman workshop to create a new long halberd for you."

"Thank you, elder brother, for creating the long halberd, and ask them to make it a little heavier." Cao Shu said he wanted to create a new long halberd for him, and Cao Zhang thanked him quickly.

The long halberd he is using now is a military standard, which is enough for ordinary soldiers, but it is a bit light for him.

Leaving from Cao Zhang's residence, Cao Shu did not go anywhere else, but went straight to Guo Xin's residence.

Guo Xin had just returned from outside. When she heard that Cao Shu had arrived, she hurried to the door.

"Husband is here!" Guo Xin bowed and greeted Cao Shu.

"What are you doing?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why are you still wearing the official uniform of Huowu Camp?"

"I just got home and hadn't had time to change it." Guo Xin said: "I'll pick up my husband first and just turn around and change my clothes at home."

"I will come to Shouchun after a few days of filial piety." After entering Guo Xin's courtyard, Cao Shu said to her: "I plan to take him to Yizhou. If there is time, I will still think of going to Zhuyazhou."

The Yizhou mentioned by Cao Shuo is today's Taiwan, while Zhuyazhou is today's Hainan Island.

Guo Xin had only heard of these two places, but had no chance to go there.

She had no idea about Yizhou and Zhuyazhou, but she knew that to reach those two islands, she had to pass through the areas occupied by the Baiyue people.

"If you want to go to Yizhou and Zhuyazhou, you have to pass through the Baiyue land." Guo Xin said: "The Sun family in Jiangdong is very close to the Baiyue people. Where does your husband pass by? Will the Sun family interfere? "

"We have no real conflict with the Sun family so far," Cao Shuo said: "They have no reason to obstruct it. What's more, I don't plan to pass by where the Sun family belongs."

"Ju Su came to Shouchun a few days ago and has not left yet." Guo Xin asked: "Is it possible that your husband is going to leave the sea?"

"That's right." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "You are still smart. I just said I didn't plan to walk from the Sun family. You guessed that I was planning to walk to the sea."

"Although the Navy has been to Izumo, it is much farther from the current harbor to Yizhou." Guo Xin said: "I think my husband is more secure..."

"How can I have a safer way?" Cao Shu said: "If I go to Yizhou, if I walk by land, I have to pass through the Sun family and Baiyue. If I walk from those places, it is really not as safe as the sea."

"But the warship has not gone so far after all." Guo Xin said: "What if... it's on the sea again, what should I do with my husband?"

"The navy's warships are used for voyages." Cao Shu said: "This world is very big, not only the places we know. At the end of the ocean, there are places we don't know. If the warships cannot even reach Yizhou, how can I lead the navy to fight in all directions in the future?"

"My husband really knows more than me." Guo Xin said: "But I still feel a little worried."
