The warm sunlight shines on the earth, the remaining snow has completely melted, and the temperature has slightly increased, but it is still so cold that it makes people shrink their necks.

Cao Shuo rode a tall horse, following eight men in deep clothes behind him.

The men carried long swords and long bows on their waists, and their quiver pots were stuffed with feather arrows, and they followed Cao Shuo closely.

Cao Shu, who was wearing silk and riding a horse, shook his body slightly, with a hint of arrogance and unruly on his face, like a spoiled rich boy.

The eight selected dead soldiers also looked ignorant of the world, and there was no trace of the defeated Cao army from them.

They are not even like soldiers in the army at all, but rather like thugs raised by rich families!

"It's not very far from Wancheng." Cao Shu said: "You have to be careful when doing things, no one is allowed to act without permission. Once you take action, there will be only one chance, either success or failure!"

A man who had been a thief said, "Don't worry, when you arrive in Wancheng, whoever dares not listen to the orders of the young master, will not want it anymore!"

Another man who had been a thief agreed, while the others did not say anything.

Since leaving the military camp, two men who had been thieves regarded Cao Shu as the god of heaven, and no matter what he said, they followed him and agreed.

No wonder they are like this!

Because of the things they have done before, they have not had a good reputation in the military, and it is almost impossible to make a name for themselves.

Fortunately, Cao Shu fell in love with them and gave him this opportunity.

Of course, the two of them are grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

Others don't think so.

Although Cao Shu has performed unexpectedly recently, he has no experience in leading troops after all.

Six veterans who have been fighting on the battlefield for many years still doubt whether he has the ability to lead a team!

The sun sets and the sky gradually becomes dark.

As he was walking, Cao Shu saw a little bit of fire lit up in the distance.

There was some distance between the two flames, and someone should have lit the torch.

"The place with the fire in front of us should be Wancheng." He pointed forward and Cao Shu said: "Tonight, we will find a secret place outside the city and settle down first, and enter the city early tomorrow morning."

"Will it be too silly to enter the city during the day?" a man couldn't help but ask.

"You mean to go to the city at night?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Climbing over the city wall at night is much safer than entering the city during the day." The man said.

"I don't say whether I can get there." Cao Shu said: "Even if we successfully enter the city, where will we stay at night? Wandering around the city at night, will it trigger a bloody battle if we meet a patrol soldier? Once we are exposed, how can we steal the body?"

"It is necessary to raise doubts, but you have to weigh the pros and cons." Cao Shu continued: "Tomorrow morning, we can find a place to stay in the museum. Stealing corpses is not as simple as a wild cat going to someone else's house to pick up two salted fish. It's better to be cautious when doing things!"

The man who raised the question did not dare to ask again.

Less than one mile from Wancheng, Cao Shu ordered to settle down on the spot.

They couldn't set up tents in a flash, so they had to find some dry places and lay the bedding they carried with them.

The place Cao Shu chose to stay can clearly see Wancheng.

There are several small earth slopes nearby, and it is difficult for the Wancheng defenders to find them.

After settling down, Cao Shu asked the four people to check the four gates of Wancheng respectively.

The four men left, Cao Shu sat on the ground, staring at Wancheng with a hay in his arms.

"I've been on the road for a few days, but the young master didn't rest much." A man who had been a thief came to him and said, "It's not too early, so let's take a rest earlier."

"I guess they couldn't find the body at all." Cao Shuo said: "Zhang Xiu probably took the body into the city."

"Didn't you get the news that the body was hanging on the top of the city?" the man asked blankly: "What are you going to take it into the city?"

"Although it's winter, it will taste after hanging on the top of the city for a long time." Cao Shuo said: "Not to mention that the soldiers guarding the city can't stand it, and those entering and leaving the city gate can't stand it. Of course, they have to be taken into the city before they rot."

"If I really get it into the city, how should I get it out?" the man asked.

"I only know after entering the city." Cao Shuo said.

"What's your name?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Liu Shuang." The man replied.

"The second place at home?" Cao Shuo asked.

Liu Shuang asked in surprise: "How do you know, young master?"

"Does many people in your village name their children according to their ranking?"

"That's true." Liu Shuang said: "It's good for a child of a pariah to have a surname, so how dare you expect a name!"

"Your name is already good." Cao Shuo said: "It's better to be called Liu Erqiang directly."

"I dare not hide it from the young master. I was originally a twin." Liu Shuang said: "There is an older brother who starved to death during the Yellow Turban Rebellion."

"The world is in chaos and people are living in poverty, no wonder you learned to pry doors and lock them."

"Actually, I can't steal anything." Liu Shuang said: "There are several rich families in our hometown who were looted during the Yellow Turban Rebellion. All I could steal was some food. My father and brother starved to death. I only had one old mother still alive, so I can't watch her starve to death!"

"My parents are not traveling far away, why do you think of joining the army?" Cao Shu asked.

"Although I can steal, how easy is to support my family these days?" Liu Shuang said: "It's all poor people. If you steal other people's things, others will starve to death if you survive. Two years ago, Mr. Cao happened to have passed by our hometown, and his old mother let me join the army."

"You've joined the army, what should she do?"

"Mr. Cao promised that as long as he joined the army, his family would have food and would not starve to death." Liu Shuang said: "About it, I haven't been home for more than two years."

"When I return to Xudu, I will be the leader and let you go home and see your old mother." Cao Shuo said.

After hearing what he said, tears suddenly burst out from Liu's eyes, his legs became weak and he knelt down, kowtowed to him and said, "If the young master is willing to let me go home to visit my old mother, it will be like a recreation."

"Joining a war is just to fill your stomach." Looking at the direction of Wancheng, Cao Shu said: "How many fields are deserted, how many children die in the battlefield. I feel sorry for the orphans and widows in the world..."

Kneeling on the ground, Liu Shuang sobbed without saying a word.

Cao Shu said, "Get up. People's hearts are full of flesh. In fact, I miss home and parents too..."

Speaking of his parents, Liu Shuang just thought it was Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian who grew up with Cao Shuo, and said, "Mr. Cao and Mrs. Cao are healthy and will definitely enjoy a hundred years of blessing."

A faint curve was drawn on the corner of his mouth, and Cao Shu didn't say anything.

No one knows what he said just now, and he can't explain it to anyone.

What he was thinking was not Cao Cao and Mrs. Bian, but his parents who raised him and sent him to the army two thousand years later.
