When Cao Shuo came to Cao Cao's military camp, it was already noon the next day.

Before entering the barracks, Xu Chu greeted him: "Son, Gong Cao is waiting for you early in the morning." ”

"Didn't I send someone back and say it would be there at noon?" Cao Shuo said: "What is my father waiting for me to do so early? ”

"Gong Cao hasn't seen Gongzi for a long time, of course I hope to come earlier." Xu Chu said: "Please follow me to see Cao Gong, don't let him wait in a hurry." ”

"How dare I make my father wait." Cao Shuo said: "Trouble Brother Zhongkang to lead the way." ”

Outside Cao Cao's tent, Xu Chu said: "Qi Cao Gong, the eldest son is here." ”

"Let him in." Cao Cao's voice came from the tent.

Xu Chu lifted the curtain: "Childe, please!" ”

Entering the tent, Cao Shuo saw Cao Cao eating with a rice bowl.

The yellow corn has a few green vegetables on top of it, and there is not even a trace of meat.

"That's all my father eats?" Cao Shuo asked.

Looking up at him, Cao Cao said: "There is not much food and grass in the army, do you think I will be like you, big fish and meat all day long?" ”

"My father really wronged me when he said that." Cao Shuo showed a bitter look: "Actually, my life is also hard, but I don't want my father to know that I am distressed......"

"Don't talk to me about these useless things." Cao Cao said, "I know what kind of life you live. ”

"I heard that you recruited Yan Liangwen and Ju Yi?" Cao Cao asked.

"Back to my father, there is such a thing." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Shao planned to kill their family, and I sent Huo Wu to move their whole family out of Yecheng......"

"Yuan Shao didn't plan to kill, you made him want to kill, right?" Cao Cao interrupted Cao Shuo.

"I don't have that ability." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Shao is not a stupid person, he still has many strategists and staff around him, if I put my mind to it, can I not be seen through by him?" ”

"That's right." Cao Cao smiled slightly and asked Cao Shuo, "I asked Zhongkang to look for you a few days ago, why didn't you come?" ”

"At that time, Ju Yi was about to attack the city, how dare I leave easily." Cao Shuo said: "Although Liu Yan has more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, they will be the opponents who will be the first to enter the camp. I also learned that the best thing about the first camp is to attack the city, and with Liu Yan, I can't parry it at all. ”

"I'm worried that Liu Yan won't be able to resist it, and I'm worried that I'm looking for you to ask Yan Liangwen and others to be true." Cao Cao interrupted Cao Shuo again: "I am your father, and the Cao family is also your family, why should the father and son be so clear?" ”

"What did my father say?" Cao Shuo said: "If you want to keep Yan Liangwen Chou and the others, I will lend them to my father." ”

"Forget it." Cao Cao said: "Their families are all in Shouchun, and you sent someone to rescue them, and you have already identified you as the master, and it is useless for me to forcibly stay." ”

"I didn't think about it." Cao Shuo grinned and said.

"Think about it or not, you know it yourself." Cao Cao said to Cao Shuo: "When others go into battle, they all have to lose some soldiers and horses, but only you, not only did you not lose much, but you also earned a few fierce generals." ”

"It's all luck." Cao Shuo grinned and scratched his head pretending to be embarrassed.

"Yuan Shao was defeated by our army twice in a row, and he should be resting at this time, waiting for a decisive battle with our army." Cao Cao said: "I got a report that Jiangdong Sun Ce may be unfavorable to our Cao family, have you heard?" ”

"I also heard that Sun Ce has been mobilizing troops and horses recently, but I don't see where he is going." Cao Shuo said: "Maybe he is going to attack Jingzhou." ”

"Jiangxia was once broken by Sun Ce, and Huang Zu retreated to Shaxian. After reorganizing the soldiers and horses, the Jiangdong Army was driven back. Cao Cao asked, "Have you heard of these?" ”

"I haven't heard of it." Cao Shuo said: "If this is the case, it can only mean that the combat strength of the Jiangdong Army is average, but there is no need to worry about them." ”

"Huang Zu is a veteran general on the battlefield, and he was repeatedly frustrated when he fought with Sun Ce, you can't underestimate him." Cao Cao said: "I have a plan, and I was about to ask what you mean. ”

"Father, please."

"There won't be a big war here in Hebei for the time being, I plan to let you go back to Huainan first, so as to deter Sun Ce." Cao Cao said: "After all, you are also a little prestige now. ”

"Father praised it." Cao Shuo smiled shyly and said: "I don't have any little prestige, it's not all my father's prestige, I just sit in the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade." ”

"You're a little self-aware." Cao Cao said: "Although it is not far from Baima to come here, it is hard to travel, you go and rest first, I will call you if there is something." ”

"Leave the child!" Cao Shuo clenched his fists and bowed out.

Leaving the tent, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The little abacus he made was all seen through by Cao Cao.

It seems that in the future, you will really have to take it easy in front of Cao Cao.

Just as he was about to walk away, Guo Jia greeted him.

With a smile on his face, he arched his hand to Cao Shuo, and Guo Jia asked, "How is the son?" ”

"Guo Gong!" Cao Shuo returned the salute and said: "Thanks to the blessing of Gong Guo, everything is fine." ”

"I haven't seen my son for a long time, I don't know if you want to come to my account?" Guo Jia asked.

"How can Guo Gong be gracious." Cao Shuo said: "Guo Gong, please!" ”

The two came to Guo Jia's tent.

Entering the tent, Cao Shuo found that there were also some simple cages like Cao Cao's tent.

"Father and Guo Gong are going to settle down here?" Cao Shuo asked, "Why did you move the cage?" ”

"The Yuan family suddenly attacked, we brought our troops here, and it is impossible to defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop." Guo Jia said: "It's not just a temporary home here. ”

"Childe, please be seated." Guo Jia gestured to Cao Shuo.

After taking a seat, Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia: "Guo Gong is looking for me, I have something to say." ”

"Talking to a smart person like Childe is worry-free." Guo Jia smiled slightly: "I came over to my son, I really have something to say." ”

"Guo Gong, please speak." Cao Shuo said.

"Childe is in Baima, did he ever give the soldiers a holiday?" Guo Jia asked.

"What did Liu Yan and Guo Gong say?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Guo Jia.

"He didn't tell me, but sent someone to send a letter to Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong asked me to talk to Gongzi about this matter, but I didn't know what to say. ”

"Others don't understand, Guo Gong should be able to understand." Cao Shuo said: "If you want the soldiers to be attentive, you must first let them see the benefits." If there is no benefit, why should others follow me to fight the world, and why should they give me their lives? ”

"That's what Childe said." Guo Jia said: "So I don't know what to say to my son. ”

"Guo Gong doesn't need to say anything, but Liu Yan has offended me this time." Cao Shuo grinned, revealing a seemingly bright smile.
