After twisting and turning, the Shanhai City Squadron finally stopped outside Yiling City. After obtaining the news, Cao Cao personally led the generals to welcome him.
”Qiyue Wuyi, exceptional!” Cao Cao gave him the thumbs up.
Ouyang Shuo smiled and bowed, ”Prime minister is being too kind!”
”I heard that your Personal Guards Captain died on the battlefield.” Cao Cao's expression changed; then he said, ”How about I give Hu Chi to you?”
Hu Chi was Xu Chu, Cao Cao's bodyguard, and his Personal Guards Captain.
Ouyang Shuo was astonished; it seemed like Cao Cao knew that he was going to be in seclusion in the wilderness. Thinking about this point, he bowed deeply, ”Thank you!”
Cao Cao giving Xu Chu, apart from Ouyang Shuo's position in the wilderness, had something to do with Xiahou Ying. No matter what, he was Cao Cao's relative, so he could be trusted.
Xu Chu, who was standing behind Cao Cao, was a little reluctant. He only slowly stepped out and bowed after Cao Cao's repeated instructions, ”Greetings Monarch!”
”General please rise!”
Ouyang Shuo helped him up, thinking about Chen Dameng who had fallen, his heart was still broken.

Evaluation: Xu Chu carefully does his duty; he is a man of few words, exceedingly loyal.
The Xu Chu who stood before Ouyang Shuo was really tall and broad; he looked like a person with absolute strength. His presence while simply standing there would leave one feeling suppressed.
However, Xu Chu definitely was not a person whose body was developed but mind was not.
Let us talk about a story.
Cao Ren rushed over from Jingzhou. At that time, Cao Cao was still in his sleeping palace and had not come out. Cao Ren met Xu Chu outside and invited him to the side room to talk.
Xu Chu just said, ”The king is coming out.” Then he turned around to the hall. As a result, Cao Ren hated him.
Someone asked Xu Chu, ”Cao Ren is an important minister and looked for you to talk, so why did you reject him?”
Xu Chu replied, ”Although he is a relative of the king, he is a general that rules outside. I am in charge of defending the inside, so if he wants to speak, we can just talk openly. There's no need to speak privately.”
When Cao Cao heard of this, he favored Xu Chu even more, promoting him to middle general.
This general was both courageous and had a sense of responsibility, so he was the best choice to be the guard. It was no wonder that Cao Pi favored Xu Chun after Cao Cao passed away.
Cao Cao's current actions actually showed his affection for Xu Chu.
After which, Cao Cao finally raised the question regarding the battle rewards; he smiled, ”Speak, what reward do you want? As long as I have it, I can give it to you.”
Hearing Cao Cao say such words, Ouyang Shuo truly had the desire to say that he wanted the strategist Cheng Yu. However, thinking about how Jia Xu had already followed him and obtaining Cheng Yu as well would cause them to compete; he realized that it was not a good idea.
In the end, Ouyang Shuo raised the request that he had thought of from the start.
”I would like someone!”
”Who?”
Cao Cao's eyes swept across Cheng Yu, Cao Zhen, Yu Jin, and the others with shining eyes. From his point of view, Ouyang Shuo wanted these generals and strategists.
”It's a singer known as Diao Chan.”
”What?” Cao Cao was caught off guard. Then, he laughed and rubbed his beard, ”I really could not tell that you liked beauties more than generals, ah!”
Ouyang Shuo laughed too, not retorting Cao Cao's statement.
12 years after Lu Bu lost, 15th year of Jian An, which was two years after the Battle of Red Cliff ended, Cao Cao built the Tongque Stage in Ye City.
Ouyang Shuo wanted Diao Chan to complete the B rank storyline quest The Four Beauties. Additionally, he was interested in Lu Bu and wanted to recruit him in the main map.
Calling Lu Bu the strongest person during Three Kingdoms was not an exaggeration.
However, despite his courage, he lacked a strategic mind. He only looked at the short term and lusted for money and beauties. He was enough to be a general but could not be a Lord.
Lu Bu had a clear understanding of this point.
During the Three Kingdoms Era, Lu Bu was originally a Lord and had faced Cao Cao before.
No matter what, Lu Bu was not a foolish person.
There was naturally a place for Lu Bu in Shanhai City.
In comparison, Ouyang Shuo leaving the generals could be understood. After all, Shanhai City was currently filled with star generals but lacked pure strength generals like Lu Bu.
Apart from that, Lu Bu had a few other generals under him. If Lu Bu came over to Shanhai City, it might give Ouyang Shuo an unexpected surprise.
