Cao Shuo left his residence early in the morning and went out of the city. ?

Yuan Fang curled up in the quilt, half of her strength was gone.

The personal maid entered the room and asked Yuan Fang, "Madame, do you want to get up?" ”

"Don't!" Yuan Fang's weak voice came from the bed.

"Childe comes to Madame's room once, and Madame can't get up early the next day." The personal maid said: "It's really harmful. ”

Yuan Fang didn't say anything.

The maid said, "I'll go and get some porridge for my wife, and I'll have some strength after eating and sleeping." ”

"I don't want to eat it." Yuan Fang said: "You go out first, I have to sleep again." ”

The maid had no choice but to retreat.

Out of the room, Zhen Mi happened to come over.

Seeing the maid close the door with her backhand, Zhen Mi asked, "Did the son sleep with the eldest lady last night?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Zhen's words, exactly." The maid replied: "I don't know what's going on, every time my son stays here, my wife will definitely not be able to get up early the next morning." ”

"It's nothing, wait until the sun rises at three poles." Zhen Mi asked, "When did Childe come back last night?" ”

"It's almost midnight." The maid replied, "My wife was already asleep at that time. ”

"Did you leave early in the morning?" Zhen Mi asked again.

"Before dawn, Childe left." The maid replied.

Zhen Mi didn't ask any more questions and walked over.

Cao Shuo left home early in the morning and went out of the city with several guards.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong gathered a large army outside the city the night before.

When I heard that the expedition was coming, the soldiers who had been farmers for several days were in an uproar.

Before Cao Shuo arrived, the soldiers had already gathered not far from the city gate.

After leaving the city and walking not far, Cao Shuo saw several people coming towards him.

The first person was Sima Yi, and beside him was Wei Yan, who commanded the reclamation army outside the city.

When he got closer, after saluting, Sima Yi said, "Childe left the city so early? ”

"You weren't earlier than me." Cao Shuo asked, "What about the soldiers?" ”

"When I heard that I was going to go on an expedition, the soldiers were excited." Sima Yi said: "They have been idle for too long, and they really need to fight two battles to vent." ”

"Did you tell them that this expedition is likely not to return to Xudu?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's already been said." Sima Yi said: "Shiyuan also told them that if they could not return to Xudu, they would be compensated for the fields they had cultivated outside the city. And their women and children, who will also be escorted to new places. ”

"How did the soldiers react?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"I didn't think much." Sima Yi said: "The place where the son is the place they want to go, in fact, I feel that when they go to a new place, as long as they are given land and houses, they don't need any compensation at all." ”

"Compensation still has to be given." Cao Shuo said: "It is not easy for the soldiers to reclaim the land, I thought that I could send troops after this year's harvest, but I didn't expect to go to war so early." ”

"The soldiers know that Gongzi is coming, and they are already waiting." Sima Yi said.

"Let's go, meet the soldiers!" Cao Shuo commanded.

The night before, Cao Shuo was about to go out of the city to meet them, and led them on an expedition, and the soldiers who had cultivated fields outside the city gathered early.

They sat in groups of three or five, chatting with each other.

A fast horse galloped over.

The knight on horseback shouted, "Quickly line up, Childe is here!" ”

Knowing that Cao Shuo had arrived, the soldiers who had long been dressed neatly lined up one after another, and all their eyes looked in the direction of the city gate of Xudu.

After a while, several fast horses appeared in the sight of the soldiers.

Cao Shuo, accompanied by Sima Yi, rode a horse.

Seeing Cao Shuo, thousands of soldiers raised their swords high and shouted in unison: "Gongzi is mighty!" ”

The lance struck the shield, and after the mountain shouted "Childe is mighty", the soldiers let out a "roar" cheer.

When he got closer, Cao Shuo reined in his horse and shouted to thousands of soldiers: "Soldiers, we are going to fight again!" ”

"Victory! Win! Win! Thousands of soldiers changed their slogans again.

"It's been a long time since I've heard your cheers, but when I hear it, my heart is surging!" Cao Shuo shouted: "Are you doing well these days? ”

"Good!" Again, there was a uniform response from thousands of people.

"Tell me, how many mothers-in-law do you have in each of your families?" Cao Shuo changed his words and suddenly asked.

The soldiers looked embarrassed one by one, and some of them actually shouted at him.

"Life is good, there are women in the bed, are you still willing to go on the expedition with my son?" Cao Shuo asked the soldiers again.

"Yes!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Why are you following me?" Cao Shuo then asked.

"Grab money, grab food, grab women!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

"Yes!" Cao Shuo shouted: "We have only one goal, to grab money, food, and women!" Each of you should have no shortage of women in your family, but will you be satisfied? The answer is yes, no! ”

Thousands of people were silent, and their eyes looked at Cao Shuo.

"To be honest, I don't have a lot of women in my back house." Cao Shuo said: "However, there are only a few walking around, will it be aesthetically tired?" The answer is yes! How to solve this problem that is bothering us? There is only one answer! Keep grabbing! ”

"Childe, who are we going to rob this time?" A voice came from the array.

"This time, I'm going to take you to a place where there are so many beautiful women to rob it!" Cao Shuo said: "Since we want to grab it, of course we have to grab the quality and value!" It's not a beauty, what are you doing robbing them back? Could it be that at night, you still cover your face with a quilt, and only expose the lower half for you to exert yourself? ”

The soldiers were all a little embarrassed and smiled.

"You may already know that this expedition will probably not return to Xudu." Cao Shuo said, "When we settle down elsewhere, I will have people come back and take your family away." Your houses and your land will not be wasted, but someone else will take over them. Of course, they will have to pay a price for writing when they take over, at least at a price that will satisfy you all! ”

"Childe, can you ask, who are we going to fight this time?" Another voice came from the queue.

"I can't say it yet, but you'll find out in a few days." Cao Shuo shouted: "But I want to remind you that this opponent is not like in Wancheng. They are more difficult to entangle, and they are more combative. Once we go on the expedition, we are likely to be locked in a relatively long fight. I want to ask, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid!" The soldiers responded in unison.

"Intensify your training these days, don't waste it!" Cao Shuo said: "On the battlefield, I still expect you to protect my back!" ”
