Cao Cao was worried that the harvest in the past two years would not be good, and the military rations might not be able to be raised.

Cao Shuo said: "Huainan and other places have a good harvest this year, but I promised to exempt the people from paying taxes, and it takes a lot of money to collect military rations. ”

"Don't you have Lingyun Pavilion, are you still afraid of spending money?" Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao said: "The Cao family lives and dies, you can't hold on to the benefits." ”

"Father blamed me." Cao Shuo said with a bitter face: "Lingyun Pavilion has actually been unable to make ends meet recently, and my money is also very tight......

"Tell me, how can you get me food and grass?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, and asked Cao Shuo.

"If my father allows me to exchange the good things I got from the Touching Gold Camp for ......," Cao Shuo said tentatively.

"I knew you were the master who would grab a handful of mud when you fell to the ground." Cao Cao interrupted him: "There are a lot of benefits from touching the gold camp, and you mentioned to me at this time to exchange those treasures for them, which is simply taking advantage of the fire to rob." ”

"But I really don't have any money." Cao Shuo's expression was extremely sad: "My father also knows that the places I manage are all places of several wars, and to redevelop, I need to invest a lot of money and food, but I really invested all my family resources." ”

"Don't cry poor here with me." Cao Cao said: "Within a year, you don't have to give me the benefits you get from the gold camp. ”

"One year is enough." Cao Shuo said with a shy face: "If you don't talk about it, it will take five or six years......"

"Sit on the ground and raise the price, profiteers." Cao Cao gritted his teeth and said, "How can I have a son like you? ”

Sighing, Cao Cao said: "Forget it, it's up to you, after this difficulty, I need a lot less consumption, but I don't care about the benefits I get from touching the gold camp!" ”

"Thank you, father, for making it happen!" Cao Shuo hurriedly thanked him.

He then said to Cao Cao: "Father, if the military rations are not enough, haven't you thought of grabbing some from the enemy?" ”

"Rob?" Cao Cao asked, "How to rob?" ”

"My command Huo Wu sent a report, saying that Han Meng led 2,000 soldiers to escort a batch of military rations to Guandu." Cao Shuo said, "Not to mention snatching them all, as long as you grab half of them, it can be solved in at least ten days and half a month." ”

"Han Meng transported military rations in Hebei." Cao Cao said: "He brought another 2,000 men and horses, who will rob them?" How to rob? ”

Taking out a silk silk from his arms, Cao Shuo said: "I have already drawn the route for snatching military rations, as long as I succeed, my father will send someone to meet him on the bank of the Yellow River." ”

Taking the silk, Cao Cao carefully browsed it.

He looked up at Cao Shuo and asked in amazement, "This method is too bold." ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get a tiger?" Cao Shuo said: "The more bold the method, the more difficult it is for the Yuan family to be guarded. ”

Pinching the silk, Cao Cao's brows tightened.

He shouted outside the tent, "Zhongkang! ”

Xu Chu entered the account.

Cao Cao instructed: "Go and call Zixiao ......"

"Wait a minute." Xu Chu was about to leave, but Cao Shuo stopped him.

"Don't tell me you want to go." Cao Cao said: "Even if I think you are the most suitable person, your mother will not agree. ”

"It's still my father who understands me." Cao Shuo grinned: "I just planned to personally take people to rob the military rations back." ”

"No way!" Cao Cao categorically refused: "You have long become a thorn in the side of the Yuan family, Yuan Shao is thinking about how to kill you all the time and let you go, isn't it to send sheep into the tiger's mouth?" ”

"How does my father know that he must have sent a sheep into the tiger's mouth, not a dragon into the tiger's den?" Cao Shuo said: "The father is a hero, how can a son be just a sheep? ”

"Still won't work." Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "It's Hebei ...... there."

"Don't say it's Hebei, if it's necessary, even if it's Yecheng, I'll break through." Cao Shuo clenched his fists and said, "Please also ask my father to fulfill it!" ”

After staring at Cao Shuo for a long time, Cao Cao asked, "Say, how much benefit do you want from this matter?" ”

"My father thinks of me as something." Cao Shuo said with a shy face: "Will I be the kind of person who wants benefits for everything?" ”

"There is no benefit, you will take the initiative to ask to go to Hebei?" Cao Cao smiled and shook his head: "Don't forget, you are my son, if you don't even know what kind of character your own son is, I won't have to lead troops to fight in the future." ”

"I was still seen through by my father." Cao Shuo smiled: "If I get the grain back, I want half of the ......"

"What?" Cao Cao was stunned: "You have 20,000 horses under your command, but I have 40,000 or 50,000 people waiting to eat here......

"Father, the food hasn't been obtained yet, so it's not interesting for the two of us to fight for this here." Cao Shuo said: "Promise first, let me feel refreshed, maybe I can get more back." ”

Cao Cao was speechless for a while by Cao Shuo.

But Cao Shuo was right.

Before the food was obtained, he first competed with Cao Shuo about who would share more and who would share less, which really made no sense.

"Since you admit that you want benefits, then let you go." Cao Cao sighed and said, "How can I have a son like you, being a man is not kind at all. ”

"It doesn't matter if you're not kind to others, the key is to be filial to your father." Cao Shuo smiled, hugged his fists and bowed down and said, "Father rests, I'll retire first." If the enemy does come from underground tonight, I'll keep them all trapped in the tunnels. ”

"Go ahead!" Cao Cao waved his hand: "Somehow, it's annoying to see you now." ”

Knowing that Cao Cao was pretending to say, Cao Shuo smiled shyly and retired again.

Out of Cao Cao's tent, Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji, who was following behind: "Let people listen carefully to the movements underground, where the enemy has dug from, we will dig a hole behind them." Block their back roads, and I'm going to suffocate all these enemy troops underground. ”

"I'll arrange it." Cai Ji left in response.

It didn't take long for some soldiers under Cao Shuo's command to look around with shovels and hoes to find the movements of the underground Yuan army.

After a while, a soldier lying on the ground and listening shouted, "Here it is." ”

"Dig lightly, don't let Yuan Jun hear it." Cao Shuo shouted to them: "Loosen the soil, don't push too hard, don't make too much noise." If the enemy hears it, it will not be easy. ”

As soon as he shouted, the soldiers simply threw away their tools, pulled out their short swords from their waists one by one, squatted on the ground and gently pried up the dirt.

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun stood side by side in a place full of bonfires.

Looking back at Cao Shuo's subordinates who were busy working, Cao Ren whispered, "What are you doing here, Childe?" ”

Also looking at Cao Shuo's side, Xiahoudun said: "Gongzi can always come up with some strange methods, but I am not too worried about our army, but I am worried about the enemy army underground." ”
