Cao Shuo Barracks.

He and Guo Xin sat side by side on a large rock.

The shouting in the distance gradually stopped.

Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "I didn't take it again!" ”

"Childe really doesn't plan to bring troops up?" Guo Xin asked.

"It's not time yet!" Cao Shuo said.

"To tell you the truth, Childe is the most selfish person I've ever met." Guo Xin said: "I watched the soldiers die, but I didn't care. ”

"It's not that I'm selfish, it's that I'm limited!" Cao Shuo said: "I want to manage, but I can't!" If they don't die, my soldiers will! Sacrificing my siblings for someone else's survival, I'm not so great as to be stupid! ”

"But they are all fighting for the Cao family." Guo Xin said: "Is there any difference? ”

"Of course there is a difference." Cao Shuo said: "My soldiers will stand up when I am in danger. Other people's soldiers, not to mention that I may not stand up when I am in danger, and if I offend their generals, they will oppose me. Could it be that I really want to exchange the lives of my siblings for them? ”

Cao Shuo's words made Guo Xin speechless.

When you think about it, it is.

Although they are all fighting for the Cao family, the soldiers recognize their generals after all.

is not a soldier under Cao Shuo, of course he will not follow him wholeheartedly.

Exchanging one's own soldiers for other people's soldiers is indeed a loss-making business.

"My soldiers are the same as my women!" Guo Xin didn't speak, and Cao Shuo continued: "My woman, don't say that someone dares to do anything to you, even if you move a crooked thought, I will screw his head off." My soldiers, if I can prevent them from being sent to death, I will never push them to their deaths. As for other people's, I can't care so much! My heart is small enough to accommodate so many people. I don't have such a broad mind! ”

Smiling at Guo Xin, Cao Shuo continued: "Don't forget, there are only 600 immortal battalions under my command who can fight, but there are 20,000 Huainan troops in the city. There are thousands of people left, most of whom have never been on the battlefield, and even some veterans are not of much use. What can you do if you take the city? Can you open the city gate and enlarge the army into the city? Let the soldiers die in vain, I, Cao Shuo, will not do it! ”

Guo Xin didn't speak again.

Cao Shuo was right.

The undead battalion of only 600 men fought an encounter with the enemy, which was very easy.

But the siege of the city, only 600 people are just to fill in and send them to death.

Many people in the reserve camp have not really experienced the fighting, although they have been on the battlefield, it is a one-sided slaughter.

In the siege battle, no one can say whether these soldiers can still charge forward until the last moment.

Recruits can't afford to lose, and they can't lose!

If you want to train them into warriors in a hundred battles, you can only go from simple to difficult!

Maybe one day in the future, Cao Shuo's soldiers can attack the city, but not yet!

While the two were talking, Cai Ji ran over: "Childe, the arrows on the city are sparse, but the resistance of the Huainan army is still very tenacious, and our army has no choice but to retreat, and Cao Cheng has asked people to prepare for the next attack." ”

"It's our turn!" Cao Shuo stood up and said to Guo Xin: "I'll let you see it now, in fact, I am not selfish at all, even very selfless!" ”

Before Guo Xin could speak, Cao Shuo took Cai Ji away.

Another siege failed, and Cao Cao's face was very bad.

He was ordering Yu Ban to organize another attack, Xu Chu said: "Cao Gong, Gongzi is here!" ”

"What's the use of him coming?" Cao Cao said: "Let him take over the siege, I don't know how many reasons there will be!" ”

"Father!" As soon as Cao Cao's words fell, Cao Shuo came close and asked, "Is the siege going well?" ”

"The enemy army guarded Qi County like an iron bucket, and lost more than 200 people, but it still failed to break through!" Cao Cao said: "The small county town has actually blocked our army for so long. ”

"The boy asks for a siege!" Cao Shuo saluted and said.

"You're going to siege the city?" Cao Cao frowned: "Didn't you say that there was no way before?" ”

"There was no way before, but now there is." Cao Shuo said: "After I went back, I thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a way. ”

"What's the method?" Cao Cao asked.

"I led the immortal battalion to break through from one point, and the soldiers under my command followed to the city." Cao Shuo said: "We will choose the closest place to the city gate tower, and once the city gate is occupied, my father will immediately order the battering ram to come forward and smash the city gate open. The action must be fast, otherwise I and my soldiers will all be folded in Qi County. ”

Cao Cao's eyes narrowed, and he asked Xun Yu on the side, "Gongda, do you think Zirong's strategy is feasible?" ”

"Go back to Cao Gong!" Xun You said: "There is no better strategy than this! ”

Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao said: "You go, be careful in everything, if you really can't do it, you can withdraw!" ”

"The immortal battalion fights, only advances and does not retreat!" Cao Shuo clenched his fists and said: "Before the battle, I had a reluctant request, and I asked my father for permission. ”

"Say!"

"Break through Qi County, all prisoners of war please allow my father to dispose of them!" Cao Shuo said.

After staring at his face for a long time, Cao Cao nodded and said, "If you want to dispose of it, then I'll leave it all to you!" ”

"Thank you, father!" Cao Shuo thanked and turned to leave.

He walked resolutely, as if he had made up his mind to die!

Looking at his back, Cao Cao's face was very bad.

He knew very well how many people there were in the immortal camp, and he also knew how many enemy troops there were in Qixian County.

Six hundred people landed in the city, and if one was not careful, he would enter the mouth of the tiger and there would be no turning back.

"It was fruitless to ascend the city for a few days, but Zirong took over the siege at this time, and it was difficult for him." Cao Cao sighed.

"Gongzi is dedicated to the Cao family, I don't know how Cao Gong plans to reward him after this battle?" Xun You asked.

"He wants all the prisoners of war, how else can I reward him?" Cao Cao said: "After this battle, I am afraid that the number of his soldiers and horses will exceed 10,000. ”

"Childe probably wouldn't do that." Xun You said.

"How?" Cao Cao looked at him suspiciously.

"The Cao family has only a few soldiers, and it's not more than 30,000 or 50,000." Xun You said: "If Gongzi has more than 10,000 soldiers under his command, won't he overpower the limelight of many generals? ”

Xun You didn't say a word.

That is, once Cao Shuo's men and horses exceed 10,000, it will also be a deterrent to Cao Cao.

Although it is father and son, Cao Cao must be more wary of him, and there may be some friction between father and son from now on.

"What does Gongda think will happen to him?" Cao Cao asked.

"I can't see through Childe's thoughts, and I can't see through them." Xun You said: "I can be sure that he will never take prisoners of war under his command!" ”

As soon as Xun You said this, Cao Cao's face looked a little better.

Cao Shuo has too many private soldiers, and it is impossible to reduce them, but it is indeed difficult for this son to control in the future!

Not long after Cao Shuo left, Cao Cao heard the sound of horns in the distance.

Wearing armor, Cao Shuo held a shield and shouted to the soldiers of the immortal battalion who followed him: "Soldiers, go into the city to grab money, food, and girls!" ”
