At this time when Cao Ang needed the generals the most, the two brothers Xiahou Shang and Xiahoude joined his command, how not to make him excited!

After all, although Cao Anmin is loyal to himself, he is not good at dispatching troops, and he is really good at leading troops to fight, or the two Xiahou brothers are better at it.

"Good! Good! Good! Father once helped the two brothers Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan, and achieved a great cause. ”

With an excited expression, Cao Ang said three good words one after another, and then compared these two to the two brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan beside his father Cao Cao.

When Xiahou Shang and Xiahoude heard that Cao Ang was so excited about their arrival, they also said that they didn't dare to do it at this time, and then continued to speak.

"Childe, in addition to us, the soldiers who guarded Xudu with you before were also willing to be loyal to Childe, but they didn't know Childe's attitude, so they didn't come to Xudu."

I have to say that this Cao Ang does have an extremely strong personality charm, not only so that strategists like Guo Jia Jiaxu are willing to assist him, but also let Xiahou Shang and Xiahou De follow him at this time, and the previous soldiers are also willing to follow Cao Ang!

After hearing such words, Cao Ang immediately burst out laughing.

"Haha! Good! If they are willing to follow Ben Gongzi's side, Ben Gongzi will naturally not refuse, you just have to write back to them and tell them that once they are willing to get up, the expenses of this journey will be counted on Ben Gongzi's head. ”

"At present, although this son is making a fortune, he will not treat them badly, all the treatment is the same as they are in Xu Capital City, and when this son settles down in the future, there will be more rewards!"

Although Cao Ang had already started to raise soldiers and horses from confiscating Mi En's money after recruiting 600 hundred mountain people at this time, Cao Ang did not refuse these people's coming.

It's not that he's reckless, but because he knows that in this troubled world, only fists are the last word!

After having soldiers and horses, it is also extremely easy to make money when the time comes.

It's really not good, and he doesn't mind taking one or two more of the rich who are unkind to the rich, although this behavior is tantamount to drinking to quench his thirst, but it can also delay time!

After such thoughts, although Cao Ang's situation was still extremely bad at this time, he was quite open in the past few days.

After Xiahou De and Xiahou Shang joined, he also began to let them lead the six hundred Yue mountain people, plus Cao Anmin's brocade guards and crossbowmen with shields, but also formed a strong soldier.

In the past few days, Cao Ang has also brought all the thieves' dens within a hundred miles of Xiaopei, and for those thieves who want to join his command to accept Zhao'an, as long as they are not extremely vicious, Cao Ang will not refuse.

Under such a conquest, Xiaopei, who was originally full of thieves, even had a rare peace.

These thieves have been entrenched near Xiaopei for a long time, whether it is when Lu Bu is in Xiaopei or Liu Bei is in Xiaopei, they have not sent troops to recruit them.

The reason for this is not only because they need to preserve their strength and it is inconvenient to offend these thieves, but more importantly, these thieves can also serve as a buffer against their attacks in many cases.

Not to mention anything else, when Cao Cao's army marched south to Xuzhou and came to Xiaopei to besiege Lü Bu, in addition to facing Lü Bu's defense, the grain transport troops in the rear also had to loot grain by local thieves.

Because the number of these thieves is not large, so they also come and go like the wind to shoot a shot to change a place, once Cao Cao's army besieged, they sneaked into the mountains and forests without leaving any trace, Cao Cao was also quite a headache at the beginning.

But now it's different, now Cao Ang is in charge of Xiaopei, although there is a lot of uproar about retreating from the enemy and sharing money, but the thieves near Xiaopei still don't think so.

It's not that they are arrogant, but that there are only a few dozen people around Cao Ang, even if they recruit the thieves from Liujiazhai, there are only more than 300 people, what big waves can they make?

These thieves obviously didn't understand Cao Ang's determination to go out to suppress the bandits, so carrying them like this was their fatal mistake.

In just a few days, Cao Ang quickly pacified these thieves at lightning speed, and in addition to completing the expansion of the army, the money looted by these thieves was also dragged back by him one by one.

Although this money is not much, it can resolve Cao Ang's urgent need, and when Cao Ang later counted the soldiers under his command, he was quite surprised that he unknowingly had more than 1,800 people!

Good things come in pairs, and almost at the same time that these thieves were put down, another piece of good news came over.

This was the good news brought by Xiahoude and Xiahoushang, after they wrote back and showed Cao Ang's determination to urgently need the help of soldiers and horses, those soldiers who were impressed by Cao Ang's personality charm in Xu Du also joined one after another.

What Cao Ang didn't expect was that the person headed by this group of soldiers turned out to be Hao Zhao, a general under Xiahou Dun who had just been selected by Cao Ang!

At the beginning of resisting Lu Bu, Hao Zhao built fortifications, but did not succeed in stopping Lu Bu, and Xiahou Tang immediately wanted to correct the law, it was Cao Ang who appreciated his ability and asked him over.

Later, with the chaos of the war, Hao Zhao never had the opportunity to follow Cao Ang's side, but Cao Ang was very clear about his importance.

Later, after Cao Ang left Xu Du, he planned to leave with Cao Ang, and it was precisely because of this that he had an intersection with this Xiahou De Xiahou Shang.

Under his leadership, all the soldiers who were also willing to follow Cao Ang escaped from Xu Du, and these were all brave soldiers in Cao's army, with more than 500 people!

After these people joined Cao Ang's command, the army under Cao Ang's command now has more than 2,300 people!

When these people came to Xiaopei, they also brought Cao Ang another news that he didn't expect.

Yu Ban has already led 10,000 Qingzhou troops from Xudu to the east and rushed straight to Xiaopei!

Although Hao Zhao and his party were faster, Yu Ban was also in a hurry, and the distance between the two sides was only one day.

After hearing such news, Cao Ang's face immediately became solemn, if he said this, maybe he would be attacked by the Qingzhou soldiers of the forbidden army tomorrow!

As soon as he thought of this, he immediately summoned Guo Jia and Liu Qin, the princess of Wannian, to discuss the method of resistance.

After a night of secret discussions, I finally came up with a way to deal with it!
