Seeing off Lou Ban and the others, Cao Shuo returned to Cao Cao's handsome tent.

Seeing him come in, Cao Cao asked, "How?" What did they say? ”

"As long as I give the order to let the soldiers not commit any offense against the Wuhuan people, the army will be able to enter the city." Cao Shuo replied.

Cao Cao nodded: "What you said earlier has really come true." ”

With a smile, Cao Shuo replied: "The Wuhuan people don't know that the army is under my father's command, and they won't obey my orders at all. ”

"I'll give this order." Cao Cao said: "As long as they are willing to let us into the city, the rest is easy to say." ”

"I'll ask for the benefits." Cao Shuo said: "My father works day and night, and I don't always have to worry about this kind of trivial matter. ”

"What are you going to ask them for?" Cao Cao asked.

"Three things." Cao Shuo said: "I will ask them for herds of horses, my father's army lacks war horses, and in the future, if I conquer the north, I will suffer a big loss if I don't have enough cavalry." ”

Nodding, Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Are the other two for yourself?" ”

"My father saw through it." Cao Shuo grinned and replied, "The two things I want are not eye-catching to my father." ”

"Except for cattle and sheep." Cao Cao asked, "What else are you going to ask for from the Wuhuan people?" ”

"All the people who migrated from Hebei and 50,000 Wuhuan women." Cao Shuo said: "I plan to send these people to Youzhou. Youzhou has been in turmoil for many years, and the people have been killed and injured. Now there are barren fields everywhere, and if you don't send more people over, I'm afraid Youzhou will be poor and weak for decades. ”

"I knew this was what you wanted." Cao Cao said: "I can understand the people who fled from Hebei, what do you want Wuhuan women to do?" ”

"Wuhuan women are also women." Cao Shuo said: "But any woman can give birth." Youzhou is short of people, and it is of course a good way to let Wuhuan women raise offspring for our Han people. ”

"Whatever you want!" Cao Cao said: "As long as you can give me horses, it doesn't matter if you don't want anything else." ”

War horses are extremely important to the army, and it is rare that Cao Shuo did not plan to get war horses from the Wuhuan people this time, and he will not share a piece of the pie with Cao Cao.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't think about the cattle, sheep and population he wanted.

"Father, don't worry, I may not be able to do anything else, extortion is really handy!" Cao Shuo replied with a smile.

"I'm not really at ease to let someone else go." Cao Cao said: "Let you go, I'm a little worried about Wuhuan Da Danyu!" ”

Cao Cao's words came out, and everyone in the tent laughed.

Subsequently, Cao Cao issued an order that after the soldiers entered Liucheng, they should not harass the Wuhuan people in any way unless they received a military order.

The order was given, and the soldiers were preparing to enter the city.

Cao Pi's tent.

Wu Zhen bowed his head and stood in front of Cao Pi.

With his brows furrowed, Cao Pi said to Wu Zhen: "After the crusade against Wu Huan, the relationship between my father and my eldest brother is closer than before, and I am afraid that I will have no chance to ...... in the future."

"Why did Childe say that?" Wu asked.

"The eldest brother wanted cattle and sheep, and his father gave them to him." Cao Pi said: "He wanted the population, but my father agreed. On the contrary, when it was for me, my father's face was very bad, and he always mentioned my defeat in Hanzhong. ”

"Childe thinks it's a good thing that Cao Gong doesn't mention Hanzhong?" Wu asked.

"Is it still a bad thing?" Cao Pi said: "My father always mentions it, which means that he has not forgotten it at all. Since he was angry, of course, he was always dissatisfied with me. ”

"I don't think so." Wu Zhen said: "On the contrary, I think that Cao Gong often mentions the affairs of Hanzhong, which is a promotion for Gongzi. ”

"Promote what?" Cao Pi asked, "Urge me to learn from my eldest brother?" No matter who you are in front of, you look like a scoundrel? ”

"It's not a day or two for the eldest son to play a scoundrel, has the son ever seen Cao Gong dissatisfied with him because of this?" Wu asked.

Cao Pi was stunned: "What do you mean?" ”

"What Cao Gong is afraid of is not that Gongzi is a scoundrel with him, but that he has played a scoundrel but has not made achievements." Wu Zhen said: "As long as the son can make some achievements, he will definitely be able to get a lot of benefits like the eldest son in the future." ”

"Gain from your father?" Cao Pi waved his hand again and again: "It's better not to think about it, think too much, I'm afraid it's me who suffers." ”

"Of course Childe is not asking for benefits from Gong Cao now." Wu Zhen said: "Although the relationship between Cao Gong and the eldest son has eased in this expedition against Wuhuan, but in the future, the eldest prince will return to Shouchun after all, how can he live idly according to his temperament?" If the power of the eldest son is inflated a little more, and Cao Gong's wariness of him will sprout again, won't the opportunity for the eldest son come? ”

"Aren't you ready to deploy?" Cao Pi's brows furrowed slightly, and he asked Wu, "Do you still plan to let the eldest brother return to Shouchun?" ”

"Of course I don't want him to return to Shouchun." Wu Zhen said: "But we always have to be prepared to do things, in case those Sanhan people fail to get things done, we will not be caught off guard." ”

"There's some truth to that." Cao Pi nodded and said to Wu Zhen: "Now that the army is about to enter Liucheng, isn't it time to do it?" ”

"The army has entered Liucheng, and the time has come." Wu Zhen said: "Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely arrange everything properly." ”

"Rest assured?" Cao Pi said: "The power of the eldest brother has reached the sky, how can you rest assured of me?" ”

Wu Zhen lowered his head and did not say anything more.

Cao Pi was angry at this time, and it didn't do any good to talk too much.

The news of Cao Cao's order soon reached Lou Ban's ears.

Originally, he only expected Cao Shuo to give an order not to harass the Wuhuan people in the city, but he didn't expect the order to come from Cao Cao, and Lou Ban faintly felt the sincerity of the Cao family's peace talks.

led everyone to greet them outside the city gate in person, and the building team bowed respectfully.

Cao Cao came to him, stopped his horse,

Looking down at Lou Ban, Cao Cao said: "Da Dan Yu doesn't need to be so cautious, I have already sent an order to let the soldiers not harass the Wuhuan people at all, what Liucheng was like before, what our army will be like when it is here." ”

"Cao Gong is kind, I've heard about it a long time ago." Lou Ban said: "The residence prepared for Cao Gong has been completed, and Cao Gong is invited to enter the city!" ”

"Big Order, please get on the horse." Cao Cao said: "Along the way, introduce me to the cultural customs of Liucheng, and I know a lot about this place." ”

Lou Ban responded, asked people to bring horses, and accompanied Cao Cao into the city.

Liucheng is not small, but the 200,000 troops entered the city, which suddenly made the city seem crowded.

The Wuhuan people in the city hid one after another, and some of them were bold, but they only dared to peek at Cao Jun who entered the city behind the crack in the door.
