I am an anchor in the Three Kingdoms

I don't know who leaked the news.

Cao Lin, Cao Chong, Dianman, and Hao Zhao all knew that the fifth son Cao Xiong was going to the north to beg for food.

Come early in the morning to see them off.

Cao Xiong told them about their respective affairs.

Let them guard their homes, and at the same time specifically explain that Cao Chong was among the scholars to excuse his father Cao Cao.

It's not good at all, let Cao Cao continue to bear the reputation of embezzlement of the five princes' money.

The account is complete.

Cao Xiong, Lingju, Xu Chu and fifty Huben troops set foot on the road to the north.

According to the route, the first stop is Jicheng; the second stop is Nanpi; the last stop is Peiping.

It has been less than two years since Cao Cao captured these three cities, and the people's hearts are still unstable.

This is also the reason why the prefects of various cities dare not use tough methods to collect grain.

One is not good, at this critical juncture of going south, it stirred up civil uprisings in the north, but things backfired.

But there was one thing Cao Xiong didn't understand.

These three northern cities have all belonged to Cao Cao's forces. Why did the local gentry dare to risk offending Cao Cao and drive up food prices?

Aren't you afraid of being retaliated by Cao Cao's forces in the future?

It's not easy to come here.

A group of people, hurry up.

In less than three days, he arrived in Jicheng.

Xu Chu asked the Fifth Young Master Cao Xiong: "Fifth Young Master, do you need to send someone to inform the prefect here so that he can welcome you?"

Cao Cao specifically explained that the fifth son Cao Xiong was the main one on this trip.

Therefore, even Xu Chu, who has a high official rank, will always consult the fifth son Cao Xiong when encountering problems.

"Send someone to inform the prefect, and say that the fifth son will arrive tomorrow! The soldiers of the Huben camp will spend a day in the post house outside the city."

Chapter 182 Little Beggar

Jicheng!

The prefect of the city is Cao Zhen, the adopted son of Cao Cao.

Cao Zhen's father, Cao Shao, was killed when Cao Cao raised an army, so Cao Zhen was adopted by Cao Cao as his adopted son.

Cao Zhen is only in his twenties now, but he has been in the army since he was a child, and once served as a general in the tiger and leopard cavalry. After the capture of Jicheng, Cao Cao asked him to serve as the prefect.

Under his governance, Jicheng was known as benevolence.

The reason is that the prefect Cao Zhen and the big clans take special care of the poor!

For this reason, Cao Cao praised Cao Zhen many times, saying that he is a model among the prefects.

A plaque of benevolence was also presented.

Cao Xiong and Lingju walked into Jicheng.

It's a bustling scene.

The streets are spotless, and the merchants and guests are all courteous.

"As expected of a city of benevolence, the people seem to be rich and happy!" Cao Xiong exclaimed.

Lingju also nodded in agreement.

"An Le is a stinky fart!"

Suddenly, a voice came from the entrance to the city.

Cao Xiong turned his head, but saw a little beggar, leaning on a walking stick in one hand, and holding a dilapidated bowl in the other!

Muttering.

"Stinky dog ​​fart, stinky dog ​​fart, the whole Jicheng is a stinking place."

Cao Xiong carefully looked at the little beggar.

Although the clothes are dilapidated, there is a bit of arrogance.

Walk quickly to his side.

"This little brother? How do you call him?"

The little beggar also looked at Cao Xiong and Lingju.

"Hmph! I think you two are also high-ranking officials, rich people smell like wine and meat! How can I, a beggar, deserve to be called you?"

The little beggar's words were very rude, obviously he didn't like the gorgeously dressed Cao Xiong.

As he was talking, he saw three officers and soldiers running quickly.

One of them was tall, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "You little beggar, who doesn't know how to live or die, dares to break into Dongcheng and beat him to death!"

With an order, the two officers and soldiers behind him stepped forward quickly, one grabbed the little beggar's arm, and the other punched the little beggar hard in the stomach.

There are words in the mouth.

"Let you come to Dongcheng, come, see if I don't beat you to death!"

As he spoke, he punched the little beggar again in the stomach.

Cao Xiong looked around and saw that the merchants and peddlers around him were indifferent, as if it was a common thing for officers and soldiers to kill a beggar in public.

A secret voice in my heart.

"This is Jicheng, which is known for its benevolence?"

Lingju's face is not good-looking either!

She was born in Wenhou Temple, and most of the people in Wenhou Temple are hard-working people, seeing little beggars being bullied like this.

Feeling bad for a while, I planned to make a move.

Cao Xiong took a step ahead, standing between the little beggar and the officers and soldiers.

"I don't know what happened to this little beggar? You want to beat and kick him like this?"

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

The three officers and soldiers were startled for a moment, and then looked at the person coming. "Haha" laughed, they were still worried that he was a knight-errant and would be difficult to deal with, but they could clearly see that they were just two fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, how dare they meddle in their own business?

"In the east of Jicheng, if you see a beggar, beat one! If you dare to meddle in other people's business, the official doesn't mind beating you up too, and throwing you into the trash den in the west of the city!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers scolded, while reaching out his hand to catch Cao Xiong, and teach him a good lesson.

Cao Xiong raised his arms and wrestled with his arms.

"boom!"

With a crisp sound, the leader of the officers and soldiers was pushed to the ground by the 15-year-old boy in front of him.

This kid actually has such strength?

Chapter 183 Offending Officers and Soldiers

The leader of the officers and soldiers hurriedly greeted the other two officers and soldiers to come over.

It seems that today I met a desperate young man.

"Boy, I think you are dressed in luxurious clothes, so you must be from a wealthy family. It is the order of our prefect of Jicheng to expel beggars.

I advise you, don't worry about this Jicheng beggar matter!

Otherwise... Hmph, you can't afford the consequences. "

The chief of the officers and soldiers said viciously.

Expel beggars!

An order from the prefect of Jicheng!

What a prefect Cao Zhen!Unexpectedly, he was such a pious, femme fatale guy!

Cao Xiong slowly helped the little beggar up.

"If I didn't meet him, I would naturally ignore it. Unfortunately, I ran into him today. Then don't you gangsters want to run amok?"

Cao Xiong said sharply.There is a heroic spirit in the words.

"Hmph! If you don't know what's good, call me!"

The chief of officers and soldiers shouted.

All of a sudden, the three officers and soldiers pulled out their sabers and slashed at Cao Xiong and the others.

After all, this is the time.

The little beggar did not forget to let out a cold "hum", enduring the severe pain in his stomach, and cursed at the officers and soldiers: "You are all dogs, Cao Zhen's lackeys! Come on, beat me! I am not afraid of you!"

Seeing the big swords of the three officers and soldiers coming.

Lingju's figure flickered, but she couldn't see how she raised her hand.

The three broadswords in the hands of the officers and soldiers fell to the ground in unison, making three "boom, bang, bang" sounds.

Look at the three officers and soldiers again.

Everyone's left hand is covering the wrist of the right hand.

Judging by the expression, it was extremely painful.

How could they have imagined that this handsome attendant of fifteen or sixteen years old next to Cao Xiong had such high martial arts skills!

Even when the three of them combined, they didn't go through a single round.

"...you...you dare to offend officers and soldiers...!"

The leader of the officers and soldiers shouted enduring the severe pain in his wrist.

He said coldly: "Still getting out? Lingju, it looks like you didn't hurt enough?"

Lingju was smiling, with slender arms and two fists clenched together, making a very contrasting "click" sound!

People walked towards them slowly.

Officers and soldiers are not stupid!

Seeing Lingju approaching, how dare he stay.

Enduring the severe pain in his wrist, he quickly slipped away!

The eyes are full of terror.

Lingju didn't chase them either, and let them escape.

Merchants and passers-by stopped to discuss.

"This little boy is dying? Because he is a beggar, he is against the officers and soldiers!"

"I'm afraid there will be another young life at Caishikou tomorrow!"

"It's gone, it's gone, do you want to be a hero in this Jicheng? Hehe, in the end it's nothing more than turning into a pile of loess!"

The discussion became louder and louder, and it naturally reached Cao Xiong's ears.

Cao Xiong ignored them and helped the little beggar first.

"Brother, are you okay?"

"Ahem!" The little beggar felt a sharp pain in his chest.
