Cao Shuo and Cao Ren were greeted outside the barracks.

Ma Teng, Han Sui and Ma Chao are already waiting here.

Seeing a few people, Cao Shuo arched his hand to them and said, "Several generals, meet again." ”

"I've seen Childe." The servants returned the salute to Cao Shuo.

Looking at Cao Ren, Ma Teng asked, "Dare to ask ...... this general is?"

He didn't know Cao Ren, but when he saw Cao Ren and Cao Shuo standing together, he asked.

"This is General Cao." Cao Shuo said: "To attack the Yuan family, it was General Cao who was responsible for deploying troops and horses. ”

"It turned out to be General Cao." Ma Teng hurriedly said: "Please don't blame you if there is a collision." ”

Cao Ren returned a salute and said to Ma Teng: "General Ma doesn't have to be like this, I have prepared a banquet in the camp, one is to celebrate Gongzi's victory over the Huns, and the other is to thank several generals for coming to help." ”

"Your Majesty is now in Xudu, and the Cao family is the big man." Han Sui said: "The Yuan family in Hebei is against the sky, and the people are angry, and we led the army here to do our part for the imperial court." Generals don't have to be like this. ”

"The banquet has been set." Cao Shuo said on the side: "Several generals have come from afar, what will happen in the future is a matter for the future, and today I still have to ask General Cao to do a part of the friendship of the landlord." General Ma, General Han, please! ”

With that, Cao Shuo retreated to the side.

Cao Ren also gave way to the other side.

How could Ma Teng and the others enter the barracks first, they also said to Cao Shuo and Cao Ren: "Gongzi and General Cao first, please." ”

Everyone pushed for a while, and in the end, it was Cao Shuo who advanced to the barracks, and they all walked in one after another.

"Meng Qi told me earlier that the Yuan army would be defeated within ten days." After entering the barracks, Cao Shuo asked Ma Chao: "I don't know if our army needs to rush to help within ten days?" ”

"It doesn't matter if there is help or not." Ma Chao said: "If it only takes ten days for our army to fight alone, if General Cao is willing to lead the army to help, it will only take eight days." ”

"I led the army to help, why is it only two days less?" Cao Ren frowned and asked a little unpleasantly.

Without waiting for Ma Chao to speak, Cao Shuo said for him: "The two armies are fighting, but it is not the time it takes to have one more person and one less person. It took ten days for Meng Qi to lead his army to attack Yuan's army, and the general led his troops to help, but he only launched a surprise attack on the enemy army from the other side. The resistance of the enemy army did not decrease, and because of this, Meng Qi said that if the general rushed to help, it would only take eight days. It has nothing to do with the combat power of the soldiers. ”

Knowing that Cao Shuo was mediating between them, Cao Ren didn't say anything more.

Ma Teng threw a grateful glance at Cao Shuo, and then glared at Ma Chao fiercely.

Seeing his father glaring at him, Ma Chao also responded: "What Gongzi said is exactly what I meant, I'm just a coarse and stupid person who can't say good things." ”

"Dealing with Yuan Jun together is my own family." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "When my family speaks, it's not a matter of saying a word high or a word down. General Cao, I understand, he is generous, and he will not think of anything else. ”

"If Childe didn't say this, I really didn't think much of it." Cao Ren said with a smile: "As soon as Childe has explained this, I have thought too much. ”

Cao Shuo laughed and patted Cao Ren's arm: "The general will laugh." ”

When he arrived outside the tent, Cao Ren said to Ma Teng and the others: "Generals, please." ”

"General Cao and Gongzi please." Ma Teng and Han Sui responded.

"It's not in a hurry to push back and forth like this, if you don't enter, I'll go first." Cao Shuo personally lifted the curtain and walked in.

Seeing that he had entered the account, Cao Ren said to Ma Teng and the others: "Three generals, please!" ”

Cao Shuo had already entered the tent, and Ma Teng and the others no longer shirked and walked in one after another.

Cao Ren, who was the last to enter the tent, instructed the guards: "Pass the order, and immediately put on the banquet." ”

"General Cao." Cao Shuo grinned and asked Cao Ren, "Are there any dancers here?" ”

"Dancer?" Cao Ren was stunned: "The army is on the march, Gongzi will want a dancer, where can I find it for you?" ”

"You don't have a dancer, it's boring to drink." Cao Shuo smacked his lips twice, and said to Ma Teng and the others: "Otherwise, we will eat this banquet today, and when we go to Xudu after the battle, I will hold a banquet in Lingyun Pavilion to entertain a few generals, how about it?" ”

"Although there is no Lingyun Pavilion in Xiliang, we have also heard from the merchants who come and go that the food in Lingyun Pavilion is very delicious, and it is rare and expensive, and it is not possible to eat it if you have money." Han Sui said: "When Childe mentions Lingyun Pavilion, I really want to taste the delicious food there. ”

"After the battle, I asked Tian Yuanhao to bring the army back to Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "I accompanied several generals to Xudu. While asking for credit for a few people, invite a few more people to eat in Lingyun Pavilion for seven or eight days in a row. ”

Speaking of this, he leaned over and said, "Maybe a few generals don't know that the best thing in Lingyun Pavilion is not food. ”

"What else is there besides food?" Han Sui asked in surprise.

"There's something even better." Cao Shuo said shyly.

Han Sui and the others are all confused, what else is more delicious besides food?

They racked their brains and didn't think of what Cao Shuo was talking about.

"Childe will laugh." Cao Ren said: "The three most famous things in Lingyun Pavilion are the food, the beauty and the treasure utensils from all over the world. Childe said that it was delicious, it was not a meal, it must be a beauty. ”

"There's not even a dancer here, what does General Cao always do with Timei?" Cao Shuo said: "We still don't want to put our minds on the beauty, and now Guo Yuan is still on the other side, thinking about how to break him." ”

"There's no way to think about it." Ma Chao said: "Guo Yuan commanded 20,000 people, after the two battles of Guandu and Cangting, now the soldiers and horses of the Yuan family in Hebei are all old and weak. Although there are only 20,000 soldiers we brought from Xiliang, they are all elites. With the elite against 20,000, what kind of way do you need to think of. After a rush, the army under Guo Yuan's command dispersed. ”

"Meng Qi, don't talk nonsense!" Ma Chao's words were arrogant, and Ma Teng glared at him fiercely: "In front of Gongzi and General Cao, how dare you say such arrogant and ignorant words." ”

Cao Shuo mentioned attacking the Yuan family, and Han Sui knew that he was looking for a chance for Ma Chao to speak.

Ma Teng reprimanded Ma Chao, but Han Sui said on the side: "What Meng Qi said is not unreasonable, although there are only 20,000 people from our Xiliang army, we really don't need to take Guo Yuan in our eyes. ”

Speaking of this, Han Sui glanced at Cao Ren.

Cao Shuo said to Cao Ren: "General Cao, what do you think? ”

Before Ma Teng and the others came, Cao Shuo had already briefly discussed with Cao Ren.

As long as the radical Ma Chao leads the troops to fight, the Cao family soldiers can stay on the sidelines, and finally go up to pick up a bargain.

Cao Ren looked at Cao Shuo: "Childe thinks this matter is ......"
