In the city of Yuxian County, Zhang Xiujun, who was defending the city, was worried about it, for fear that Cao Jun would throw boulders again.

It is strange to say that the sound of "ping pong" came from the Cao army camp every day, and huge wooden monsters appeared in the field of vision of Zhang Xiujun's soldiers, but the boulders never flew in.

Looking at the towering catapults outside the city, Zhang Xiu asked Jia Xu, "Wenhe, what is the enemy going to do?" ”

"I know who's out there." Jia Xu didn't answer, but said to Zhang Xiu: "The one who stays outside the city must be Cao Zirong!" ”

"Cao Zirong?" Zhang Xiu was stunned: "Cao Cao has retired, what is he still doing here?" ”

"What else can be done?" Jia Xu said: "For the general! ”

Cold sweat oozed from Zhang Xiu's forehead: "If it's Cao Zirong, it's not easy to do......"

"Is the general afraid of him?" Jia Xu asked.

"Can I be afraid of him?" Zhang Xiu pretended to smile calmly: "I just feel ......"

wanted to find a reason to hide the nervousness in his heart, but Zhang Xiu found that when he said this, he didn't even have a suitable excuse.

"The boulder that flew in the other day must have been the work of that behemoth." Pointing to the catapults outside the city, Jia Xu said: "If they are not destroyed, the city walls of Yuxian County will be destroyed sooner or later." ”

"What should I do?" Zhang Xiu asked, "Is it possible to sit still and wait for death?" ”

"If it's Cao Zirong, it's easy to do." Jia Xu said: "Cao Cao has already led the army away, and he has not found any other Cao troops outside the city recently. Although Cao Zirong's soldiers and horses are elite, the number of them is not very large......"

"What does Wenhe mean to go out of the city?" Zhang Xiu asked.

Jia Xu nodded and said: "Go out of the city and kill for a while, even if you can't break Cao Zirong, at least you can destroy those behemoths!" ”

"Pass the order, get out of the city tonight!" has always been obedient to Jia Xu, Zhang Xiu instructed the guards on the side.

Zhang Xiu decided to leave the city, but Cao Shuo was in the woods behind the army array at this time.

In the woods, I don't know how many soldiers of the Cao army are sitting idly talking.

Cao Shuo sat side by side with one of the generals of the Cao Army.

The general of the Cao army sitting with him was none other than Xiahou Yuan.

Looking at the outside of the forest, Xiahou Yuan said: "Zirong, Cao Gong led the troops away, leaving me and the soldiers to respond, but Zhang Xiu has no plans to go out of the city these days......

"General, don't worry." Cao Shuo said: "At most, in these two days, Zhang Xiu will go out of the city to fight. ”

"How can Zirong be so sure?" Xiahou Yuan asked, "What if he doesn't leave the city?" ”

Looking at the nearby Cao army, Xiahou Yuan continued: "The soldiers under your command eat and drink well every day, but my soldiers have eaten dry food for several days. ”

"Only for a day or two." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "When you break through the county, I will invite the soldiers to drink!" ”

"Soldiers, please?" Xiahou Yuan smiled: "Zirong is going to break the fortune!" ”

"As long as you can win the battle, it's nothing to break a little wealth." Cao Shuo said: "Don't worry, general, when the time comes, I will not only invite the soldiers to drink, but also drink good wine!" ”

Xiahou Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then asked Cao Shuo: "By the way, Zirong, I have something to ask you." ”

"General, please!" Cao Shuo said.

"I remember that you broke Zhang Xiu's grain delivery team earlier." Xiahou Yuan asked, "To tell you the truth, how much grain and grass did you get?" ”

Speaking of this, Cao Shuo waved his hand and said, "There is no grain and grass, but some hay, I use it to feed the horses......"

"You're talking nonsense to others, and you're talking to me about this?" Xiahou Yuan said: "Tell me quickly, how much benefit have you gained?" ”

Cao Shuo looked left and right, leaned into Xiahou Yuan's ear, and whispered something.

"So much?" Xiahou Yuan's eyes widened.

"Don't say it! Don't say it! Cao Shuo waved his hand again and again: "How rich does the general think I am?" If it weren't for these benefits, I dare to say that the soldiers would have drunk? ”

"It's not okay to just drink!" Xiahou Yuan said: "You score me a little." ”

"I've given almost everything to the soldiers." Cao Shuo said with an embarrassed face: "If I give it to the general again, I will have nothing for myself." ”

"I have gained so many benefits, and they are all distributed to the soldiers, ghost letter!" Xiahou Yuan said: "If Zirong doesn't give it to me, I will have to talk to Cao Gong when I go back." ”

"Don't!" Cao Shuo said: "The general and I are also from our own family, and I have to call you uncle." How can there be any reason for adults to bully children? ”

"Zirong, you can't say that." Xiahou Yuan said: "Gong Cao went back to Xudu, leaving me and the soldiers to follow you here to suffer and suffer." I don't care, you can't treat the soldiers badly, can you? ”

"Okay!" Cao Shuo still said with a face full of embarrassment: "But I have a request. ”

"If you have any requirements, just say it." Xiahou Yuan said: "As long as you give me benefits, you can let me do anything!" ”

"When I give benefits to the soldiers, I have to say that I give them." Cao Shuo said: "You can't produce grain and grass, and you can't please it." ”

"You're trying to buy people's hearts?" Xiahou Yuan asked with a smile.

"Of course." Cao Shuo said: "Although it's not my soldiers, I can't buy them?" The general won't be afraid that I will encourage them to mutiny, right? ”

"What did Zirong say?" Xiahou Yuan said: "Whether your soldiers or my soldiers, they are all Cao Gong's soldiers in the end." Are you willing to buy them, just buy them, anyway, you will benefit from it, and I will sit back and enjoy the results, is it possible to obstruct you? ”

"Then it's decided!" Cao Shuo grinned: "Break through the county, I will give benefits to the soldiers!" ”

"Don't!" Cao Shuo wanted to give benefits to the soldiers after breaking through the county, and Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said: "How long will it take to break through the county, the soldiers can't wait......"

"I can't wait, I have to wait!" Cao Shuo said: "Give them benefits now, one by one want to guard that little bit of family business, who still fights with their lives?" When we break through the county, everything I got will be distributed to the soldiers! ”

Xiahou Yuan thought about it, and what Cao Shuo said was not unreasonable.

hasn't broken through the county yet, so it's really not a good thing to make the soldiers too rich.

"I just came to see the general, but I didn't expect to lose all the benefits I made." Cao Shuo stood up and shook his head and said, "This is a big loss for me!" ”

Xiahou Yuan smiled proudly and did not pick up.

I have long heard of Cao Shuo's reputation, and I can get benefits from him, if I let others know, I can't envy him to death?

"After suffering such a big loss, I have nothing to say!" Cao Shuo arched his hand: "Let's go see my soldiers first!" ”

"Zirong walks slowly!" Xiahou Yuan returned the salute and watched Cao Shuo leave.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, who followed Cao Shuo to the forest, greeted him and walked thirty or fifty steps with him, Deng Zhan asked in a low voice: "Gongzi has given General Xiahou so many benefits, but he has also lost too much.
