Pang Tong and Sima Yi walked out of the tent and happened to meet Ju Yi.

Seeing the two of them come out, he bowed and saluted: "Disturbing the two generals and their sons to discuss military affairs is really a crime that deserves death!" ”

"We've already finished discussing it with Childe." The two returned the salute, and Pang Tong said: "The son is still waiting for the general, so I won't say more to the general." ”

"Congratulations to the two generals." Ju Yi bowed down to see Pang Tong and Sima Yi leave.

Seeing the two of them walk away, Ju Yi turned around and lifted the curtain.

"They're gone?" As soon as he walked into the tent, he heard Cao Shuo ask.

"Gone." Ju Yi said: "Childe forgive me, I heard a few words outside just now......"

"What do you hear?" Cao Shuo smiled and asked, "Did you hear me say the reason why I didn't want to speed up the march?" ”

"Exactly." Ju Yi said: "Childe has fought again and again, and it is very hard......"

"Hard for what?" Cao Shuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "I can't hide it, those days in the white horse were when I was drunk and free. You don't have to look at the official documents sent from all over the world, and you don't have to think about where the water is flooding, where there is a fire, or where the people are fighting again. You don't have to think about anything except fighting, that's the most comfortable day. ”

Knowing that Cao Shuo said this so that he would not think about the issue of marching, Ju Yi said: "Gongzi is sympathetic to his subordinates, I already know it......"

"Now that you know, you don't have to say anything." Cao Shuo said: "You only know that I refused to speed up the march for the sake of your family, but do you know the reason why I did this? ”

Looking at Cao Shuo blankly, Ju Yi didn't ask.

Since Cao Shuo mentioned it, even if he didn't ask, he would definitely say it.

"I'll tell you the truth." Cao Shuo said: "The most fundamental reason why I do this is to tell everyone that you are important to me. If I leave you and your family here, what will others think? Others will say that Ju Yi is nothing more than that, Gongzi didn't pay much attention to him at all, and left him and his family behind when he returned to Shouchun. With such remarks, what else will you do in the future? Who else will really take you into account? ”

"I already understand Childe's intentions." Ju Yi said, "But ......"

"Nothing." Cao Shuo said: "It's only two days from here to Shouchun, and one more day won't delay anything." ”

He then said to Ju Yi: "I also talked about it with Zhong Da and Shi Yuan just now, and the Jiangdong Army marched into Xuzhou and Lujiang in two ways. Naturally, there are people in Xuzhou to deal with it, and the Jiangdong Army in Lujiang, I will take the Flying Bear, the Dragon Pattern, the Broken Formation, and you will go to the fourth battalion to deal with it. We have few soldiers, the enemy army is several times ours, and the first thing is ......"

"I'm willing to take the lead for my son." Without waiting for Cao Shuo to finish speaking, Ju Yi clenched his fists and said.

"I've long heard that I can fight in the camp first." Cao Shuo said: "I want to know, how did the 800 Xiandeng defeat Gongsun Zhan's 30,000 elite soldiers? ”

Speaking of that incident, Ju Yi said: "Actually, that incident is somewhat exaggerated, and Gongzi also knows that 800 people and 30,000 people are fighting, even if they first enter the camp and then elite, it is impossible to win easily." At that time, Gongsun Zhan was not well deployed, and many soldiers were unwilling to die for him, so I just took the first camp to rush and kill for a while, and the enemy army dispersed. ”

"I see!" Cao Shuo nodded and said to Ju Yi: "This time we are facing the Jiangdong Army, and General Ju may have heard of the Jiangdong Little Overlord." ”

"Childe is talking about Sun Ce?" Ju Yi asked.

"That's him." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that Sun Ce didn't go to battle in person, it is said that he sent Sun Quan and Zhou Yu to lead an army each. I have ordered Zhong Da to face Zhou Yu, and as for Sun Quan's side, I will personally face it. ”

"Sun Quan?" Ju Yi pouted and smiled: "It's just a yellow-mouthed child, Sun Ce sent him to lead the army, why do you need Gongzi to face the battle in person?" ”

"General Ju, don't underestimate Sun Quan." Cao Shuo said: "This person still has some ability. I personally faced the battle, that is, I wanted to use a small number of soldiers and horses to launch an attack, to fear and subdue him, so that he would not dare to covet the Cao family easily in the future. ”

"Can you dare to ask Gongzi, who is Sun Quan's pioneer?" Ju Yi asked.

"Lu Meng." Cao Shuo said: "He is also a young general who has no prestige in Jiangdong, but General Ju should not despise him too much. Although I have not met this man, I can tell from some of his past ways that this man will not be easy in the future. ”

"When he meets Childe, he will have no future." Ju Yi replied.

Cao Shuo laughed, stood up, patted Ju Yi's arm lightly and said, "General Ju is magnificent, I just like the general's bearing." ”

Ju Yi smiled bitterly: "In the past, in Hebei, I also had such a temper, Yuan Gong not only didn't think it was good, but even wanted to kill me because of this......"

"I know everything about General Ju." Cao Shuo said: "Meritorious master, my father-in-law thinks that you don't take him seriously, so he will kill you." Since you have come to me, as long as the general is willing to use his ability, you can be crazy and you are crazy, without a bit of madness, can you still be regarded as a talent? ”

"If Childe can say that, I'm relieved." Ju Yi bowed his head in response.

"Actually, I'm crazier than you." Cao Shuo grinned and said to him: "If the two of us had changed, I'm afraid my head would have been cut off countless times." It's only because I'm the son of the Cao family that I can live to this day. General Ju is willing to work with me to achieve great things, so it can be said that they smell like each other, and they hate each other. ”

"Did Childe promise me to be the vanguard and open the way for the army?" Ju Yi asked again about being a pioneer.

"The general is willing to go, how can I refuse?" Cao Shuo said: "It's just that there is no army, and some are only four battalions of soldiers and horses. It's not so much that this time it's to repel the Jiangdong Army, but rather that I deliberately want to find a strong opponent and let the elite of the fourth battalion train and train! ”

"It's not early, Madame should still be waiting for the general." Cao Shuo said: "After returning to Shouchun, we will definitely be very busy. Some time I still spend more time with my wife. ”

"The night will be deep, and I won't delay my son's rest." Ju Yi said: "Retire first." ”

Cao Shuo nodded, and Ju Yi withdrew from the tent.

Back in the tent, his wife was still waiting.

"Where did the general go so late?" Seeing Ju Yi coming back, the lady greeted him and asked, "I have to go tomorrow, why don't you rest earlier?" ”

"I went to see Childe just now and said a few words." Ju Yi said: "If Madame is sleepy, just rest, don't wait for me." ”

"The general has always been out on a campaign in recent years." The lady said: "It is rare for the concubine and the general to see each other, how can there be a reason not to wait for the general to come back and rest?" ”

"Childe is not thin on us, and I can't stand him, he may be busier in the future." Hugging his wife, Ju Yi said, "Sorry for Mrs." ”
