Let the four beauties step down first, Zhang Yan said to Cao Pi: "Son, please take a seat." ”

"This is the general's barracks, how can I sit down." Cao Pi said with a smile: "I'll sit with Gong Wu!" ”

"How can that be done!" Zhang Yan Zhengse said: "I serve Cao Gong, and the son is also the master, how can there be a reason for me to sit on the seat." ”

"General Zhang, don't shirk." Wu Zhen on the side said: "Gongzi's visit this time has actually brought a great benefit to the general. ”

"Big good?" Zhang Yan asked, "What benefits?" ”

"Does the general want to be meritorious?" Cao Pishen asked mysteriously.

"I broke Yuan Shang before, and Cao Gong has already given a reward." Zhang Yan said: "Earlier, I was going to be attacked by the Yuan family in Taihang, and now I am fighting against the Yuan family, and I am already raising my eyebrows. Of course, it would be best if there were more feats of war. ”

"Gongzi was ordered to conquer Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi, I wonder if the general is interested in following?" Wu asked.

"Crusade against Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi?" Zhang Yan said: "I heard that Yuan Shang has fled to Youzhou. ”

"I know he fled to Youzhou." Cao Pi said: "But after all, he is the remnant of the Yuan family, even if he escapes to the edge of the sky, the Cao family will destroy him." ”

"The Yuan family has an enmity with me, of course I am willing to crusade." Zhang Yan asked, "What are the plans of the child?" ”

"My father was going to transfer the Tiger Guards and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to me." Cao Pi said: "But I thought that it was the elite under my father's command after all, and it was too unseemly for me to take it away." ”

"Childe can ask Cao Gong for me." Zhang Yan hurriedly said: "Although the Black Mountain Army is not as strong as the Tiger Guard, it is still enough to deal with Yuan Shang. ”

"The general thinks the same thing as I do." Cao Pi smiled slightly: "I mentioned it to my father and asked him to allow the Black Mountain Army to attack Youzhou. It's just that I have one condition. ”

"As long as Gong Cao agrees to let the Black Mountain Army go to Youzhou, no matter what conditions Gongzi proposes, I will agree." Zhang Yan patted her chest and said.

"I'm going to lead the army with General Zhang." Cao Pi said: "When encountering major decisions, I hope that General Zhang can listen to my opinions. ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, and asked with some difficulty: "Childe is also going?" ”

"Of course I want to go." Cao Pi said: "The general wants credit, and I also want it, how can I be without such a great achievement as the crusade against Yuan Shang." ”

"The Montenegrin Army has been with me for many years, but I am afraid that if Gongzi gives an order, they will ......" Zhang Yan pinched her chin and hesitated for a long time and said.

"How could I give an order to the Montenegrin Army." Cao Pi said with a smile: "I will just ask the general to do it or not, as for the military order, of course, the general has to issue it." ”

Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know Cao Pi's methods, he didn't feel at ease about handing over military power to others.

The Montenegrin Army is the foundation of his achievements, and if someone takes it away, he will die.

"Since this is the case, please also ask Gongzi to ask Cao Gong for war." Zhang Yan arched his hand and said.

"I've already told my father." Cao Pi said: "My father also agreed, I just came here to ask the general if he was willing or not." As long as the general agrees, the army can go out at any time. ”

"How can there be any reason not to agree to such a good thing?" Zhang Yan said: "Childe, don't leave tonight, I'll ask someone to prepare some meat, wine and food......

"The general's army is not rich, and I have brought meat, wine, and food." Cao Pi said with a smile: "What I brought is only for a banquet with the general, at most there will be more wine and meat to the army tomorrow, so that the soldiers can have a good meal, and we can go out to make meritorious contributions." ”

"It's still Childe's thoughtfulness." Zhang Yan said: "In this way, it seems that I did not entertain a good son." ”

"General Zhang doesn't have to take it to heart." Cao Pi lowered his voice and said to him: "It's not a secret, the Cao family has a lot of soldiers and horses, except for the elite beside my father, most of the troops are self-sufficient. The eldest brother is in charge of Huainan, and his subordinate soldiers are also responsible for the eldest brother's own family. Although the general joined the Cao family, if he failed to become his father's confidant, he would probably always be inferior to others in terms of military supply in the future. ”

"How can you say that?" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment.

"Of course there is." Cao Pi said with a smile: "But the general doesn't have to worry, when we break through Youzhou, I will naturally help the general become my father's confidant." ”

"With Childe here, I have nothing to worry about." Zhang Yan arched his hand and said, "Everything depends on Gongzi!" ”

"Well said, well said!" Cao Pi replied: "As long as you crusade against Yuan Shang, the general and I will work together, and don't be suspicious of each other." ”

"Childe is thinking about our Black Mountain Army, how can I be suspicious of Childe." Zhang Yan patted his chest and said: "Son, just rest assured, when I crusade against Yuan Shang, I will obey Childe's dispatch." ”

That night, Cao Pi stayed in Zhang Yan's army and got drunk.

It was not until near noon the next day that he left accompanied by Wu Zhen.

On the way back, Cao Pi asked Wu, "Did I say anything I shouldn't have said after I got drunk last night?" ”

"What Childe said when he was drunk is more heart-warming than what he said when he was awake." Wu Zhen said: "This crusade against Youzhou, presumably Zhang Yan will not interfere with his son. ”

"That being said, he is the commander of the Montenegrin Army after all." Cao Pi said: "With him, the Montenegrin Army will not obey my dispatch at any time." ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Wu Zhen said: "First establish prestige in the Montenegrin army, and then praise Zhang Yan higher." ”

"I want to hold the Black Mountain Army in my hands, what's the use of holding Zhang Yan high?" Cao Pi asked.

"Of course it works." Wu Zhen said: "As long as Gongzi establishes his prestige in the Montenegrin army and shows that he has no desire for military power, not only Zhang Yan will no longer have the slightest doubt about Gongzi, but even the officers and soldiers of the Montenegrin army will be more convinced of Gongzi." When we arrive in Youzhou, as long as our army conquers the city again and again, it will be handed over to the eldest son sooner or later anyway, and it will not be harmful to the son of the Black Mountain Army how to do it. ”

"You mean to let the Montenegrin army know that there are many benefits to following me on the expedition?" Cao Pi asked.

"That's what it means." Wu Zhen replied: "The Montenegrin Army was originally born as a Yellow Turban thief, and they did too much burning, killing and looting, and it would be difficult for them to adapt to it if they were suddenly restrained. Gongzi helped the eldest son get Youzhou, precisely because this will become a place for the Montenegrin army to train. The Cao family's army burned and looted in Youzhou, and it was not so easy for the eldest son to establish his prestige in the future. Many Youzhou, but he has more constraints. ”

Looking at Wu Qian, Cao Pi shook his head and smiled: "Why didn't I find out that you have these abilities?" If I had found out, I wouldn't have become a lieutenant until now. ”

"To be a colonel and lieutenant, he is already a son." Wu Zhen said: "I'm not too anxious about the future of my career. ”
