The army continued northward, and saw that it was not far from the end.

Starting from the beginning of spring, we are about to reach the end of time, and we have entered the middle of summer.

A few days ago, the sun was scorching, and this morning, the sky was covered with dark clouds.

The soldiers' rations were almost exhausted, and they could only last three or four days at most.

Riding on horseback, Cao Cao looked up at the sky and asked Cao Shuo on the side, "Is it going to rain?" ”

"Looks like so." Cao Shuo said: "I'm afraid this rain will fall for many days. ”

"Will the rain affect the delivery of military rations?" Cao Cao said: "You must know that there is not much food and grass in the army. ”

"Father, don't worry, I've been prepared for a long time." Cao Shuo said: "As long as we reach the end, we will not worry about military rations." After waiting for a few days in the end, the follow-up baggage should arrive. ”

"Waiting for the baggage at the end?" Cao Cao said: "In this way, what is the point of our army's long-distance attack? ”

"The baggage will not go too fast with the army." Cao Shuo said: "Leaving the baggage behind and letting them go on their own is faster than following the army." ”

"Anything else?" Cao Cao looked sideways at him and asked.

"Absolutely." Cao Shuo said: "I have done this in the past when I was marching, so I know a little bit. ”

"Why does our army have military rations when it reaches the end?" Cao Cao asked, "With such a heavy rain, could it be that you have already made arrangements in advance?" ”

"Back to my father." Cao Shuo said: "Nothing is the way we must go, I thought that it would be more convenient to store military rations here, but I didn't expect to catch up with this heavy rain." If it's really providence, even God helps my father, is there any reason why this expedition is invincible? ”

When Cao Shuo said this, Cao Cao laughed.

The previous unhappiness because of the military rations disappeared with the implementation of the military rations and Cao Shuo's sycophantic words.

As they were marching, the rain was falling.

The rain in summer is not as soft as in spring and autumn, and the raindrops that fall on the ground are bigger than soybeans.

But in an instant, the 200,000-strong army became a soup chicken.

Wiping a handful of rain from his face, Cao Cao shouted: "Pass the order, speed up the march, and then camp at the end of the day." ”

The order was given, and the soldiers had no choice but to continue their march.

The road was difficult to travel on rainy days, and it was very difficult for the soldiers to march.

After walking for a whole day and night, they came to the city of no end.

Wuwu is a small city, and the entry of 200,000 troops into the city is very crowded.

Most of the soldiers had to pitch tents on the streets.

Sleepy and tired, the tents were set up, and the soldiers fell asleep.

After entering the endless city, Cao Cao personally went to hand over the military rations.

Seeing the warehouse full of grain, he finally relieved.

The army went ahead before moving the grain and grass, and with the military rations, the soldiers could eat their stomachs and have the strength to fight.

Looking at the granary, Cao Cao said to Cao Shuo: "You are still well prepared, if you don't deploy it properly, I'm afraid this rain will make the soldiers hungry." ”

Cao Shuo clenched his fists and said: "I am satisfied to receive a compliment from my father." ”

Cao Pi, who was following along, looked worse and worse.

The more Cao Shuo was praised, the more he felt that this eldest brother had to be eliminated earlier.

"I don't know when this rain will fall." Looking up at the sky, Cao Cao said, "When the rain stops, I don't know when it will be." ”

"This rain looks like it's going to fall." Cao Shuo said: "Why don't we find someone to ask if there is any other way to go." ”

"Someone ask?" Cao Cao asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"I heard that there is a man named Tian Chou here." Cao Shuo said: "This person was engaged in Liu Yu in his early years, and after Liu Yu was killed, he lived in seclusion. If you can invite him, maybe you will show my father the way. ”

Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao asked in surprise, "How come you even know about this kind of thing?" ”

"I know a little bit about the Central Plains." Cao Shuo smiled and said to Cao Cao: "Don't talk about the Central Plains, even the affairs of Sanhan and other places, I know something." ”

When Cao Shuo mentioned Sanhan, Cao Pi's face changed suddenly.

Secretly looking at Cao Shuo, he faintly felt that something was not quite right in his heart.

Why did the eldest brother suddenly mention Samhan? Could it be that he knows something?

Puzzled, Cao Pi didn't dare to stare at Cao Shuo, and turned his face to the side.

Fortunately, Cao Shuo didn't look at him at all, just waiting for Cao Cao's reply.

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said to Cao Shuo: "Since you know this person, then you can find him." If you can provide a new route for the army, I will count you as the first credit. ”

"Give the credit or something to someone else." Cao Shuo said: "I am a child of the Cao family, of course I should share my father's worries?" ”

"I am very glad that you can have such a mind." Cao Cao smiled slightly and said to Cao Shuo: "You go and do it." ”

Cao Shuo responded and left with Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and others.

When he came to Wuxi, Cao Cao certainly wouldn't live in a tent.

instructed Cao Shuo to find Tian Chou, and he went straight back to the official mansion.

Back at the residence, Cao Pi asked Wu as soon as he entered the door, "Did you hear what your father and eldest brother said just now?" ”

"I hear you." Wu Zhi responded.

"How did the eldest brother remember to mention Samhan?" Cao Pi asked, "Could it be that he knows something?" ”

"It shouldn't be!" Wu Zhen frowned and said, "It's not me who went to Sanhan, it's the ranger I found." Even if the eldest son has the ability to do so, he shouldn't be able to touch it so clearly. What's more, since he knew what was going to happen, why didn't the eldest son make any moves at all? ”

"The eldest brother is very deep." Cao Pi said: "He didn't say, maybe he had other plans." ”

"What else can I do?" Wu Zhen said: "Could it be that he still wants to get a handle from this matter?" You know, after that Ranger is done, I have sent someone to get rid of it. ”

"Got out?" Cao Pi was stunned: "When did it happen?" How did I not know? ”

"I'll do this kind of little thing for me." Wu Zhen said: "Where do you need to bother the son? ”

After staring at Wu Zhen for a long time, Cao Pi frowned and said: "You did this matter really simply, keep you by your side, I really didn't use the wrong person." ”

"If you can get a compliment from your son, even if you want me to break my bones, I am willing." Wu Zhen hurriedly responded.

"I don't want you to be crushed." Cao Pi said: "If you die, who will help me in the future?" Counting on Chen Qun and Zhu Shuo? I am powerful, they will listen to me, and when I have no power, I am afraid they will go faster than anyone else. ”

"No matter what Childe is, I will never leave my side." Wu Zhen hurriedly said.

"If you don't think the eldest brother has noticed anything, it's business as usual." Cao Pi said: "It's just that when you do things, you must be clean and neat, but don't make any mistakes." ”
