Cao Shuo left Cao Cao's study and was walking towards Ding Yao's residence when he saw several people.

The first person was Cao Pi.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Cao Pi wanted to hide, but found that Cao Shuo had seen him, so he had to come over hard.

made a big salute to Cao Shuo, and Cao Pi greeted: "I've seen the eldest brother." ”

Cao Shuo nodded, and asked with a smile, "Zihuan, where are you going?" ”

"I left from my mother." Cao Pi replied: "When I am out fighting, there are fewer opportunities to see my mother. ”

"It's time to see my mother more." Cao Shuo said: "It is not easy to give birth, and now we are all adults and parents, so we should understand the hardships of parents." ”

"That's what the eldest brother said." Cao Pi respectfully agreed.

"I heard how many wives and concubines you have married?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Back to the eldest brother." Cao Pi responded: "There are a few." ”

"I wonder if any wives and concubines are pregnant?" Cao Shuo said: "If there is, then you can invite my uncle to have a drink." ”

After Cao Pi got married, he was almost the same as Cao Shuo at the beginning.

No matter how hard he tried, his wife and concubine just couldn't get pregnant.

This is Cao Pi's sore spot, but it was pointed out by Cao Shuo.

With an embarrassed face, Cao Pi couldn't say anything, so he had to say to Cao Shuo: "If there is a day, of course you have to invite the eldest brother, this can't run." ”

"If you didn't get your wife and concubine pregnant, it may be that your bird's beard hasn't grown yet." patted him on the shoulder, Cao Shuo laughed: "It's okay, wait a few more years, when the bird's beard is complete, your wife and concubine should also be able to give birth." ”

Dropping this sentence, Cao Shuo left with Deng Zhan, Zhu Ao and others.

Maintaining a posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Cao Pi sent him away with a pale face.

When Cao Shuo walked away, Cao Pi greeted Wu Zhen and the others: "Let's go." ”

From Cao Pi's tone, Wu Zhen heard anger.

He whispered: "Childe, the eldest son obviously deliberately wants to provoke you, but don't be fooled." ”

"He humiliated me like this since I was a child, and he still does it today." Cao Pi said: "Such an eldest brother, what do I want him for? ”

"Childe, don't talk nonsense." Wu Zhen said: "Beware of the wall with ears. ”

As soon as Wu Zhen reminded him, Cao Pi didn't continue, but his face was even more ugly than before.

Following Cao Shuo forward for a while, Deng Zhan glanced back and said, "Gongzi humiliated the second son a lot just now, I see that his face has changed." ”

"Your face has changed?" Cao Shuo asked: "What's the change, is it sallow or iron?" ”

"It's yellow and green, but it's beautiful." Zhu Ao on the side interjected.

Cao Shuo smiled: "I wish the general either not to speak, and to say a word can make people spray rice." But I can say that you two should not judge casually. ”

"Understood." Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao Yingdao.

After staying in Yecheng for three or four days, Cao Shuo received the order to go on an expedition.

When he came to the gate of the city, he saw the large array of Cao Jun waiting outside the city, and Cao Shuo was also taken aback.

There are so many people outside Yecheng that there is no end in sight, and there are more than 200,000 Cao Jun waiting to go out.

Following Cao Cao's side, Cao Shuo turned around and whispered to Xun Yu behind him: "Gongda, how many soldiers are there on this expedition?" ”

"Cao Gong mobilized an army of 200,000." Xun You whispered: "It's a plan to exterminate Wuhuan in one fell swoop." ”

The 200,000 army is indeed all the soldiers and horses that Cao Cao can mobilize at present.

Looking at Cao Cao, Cao Shuo vaguely felt his determination to pacify Wu Huan.

Standing in front of the soldiers, Cao Cao shouted: "Soldiers, we have been fighting with the Yuan family for several years, and many soldiers are buried in the battlefield. Now Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang have fled to Wuhuan. Not only did the Wuhuan king not send them back, but he also tried to help them regain their strength against us. I can tolerate Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang going against us, but the alien race also wants to meddle in our Central Plains affairs, you say, can I agree? ”

"Can't!" The 200,000 soldiers responded in unison, and Cao Shuo's ears were buzzing with the shouting.

"Since we can't say yes, what are we going to do?" Cao Cao then shouted.

"Hit him!" Another neat response.

In two simple words, he shouted out the hearts of all the soldiers of the Cao Army.

"So what are you waiting for?" When the soldiers stopped shouting, Cao Cao shouted: "Go!" ”

With the sound of horns, Cao's army marched north.

The army was numerous, and of course there was a lot of baggage.

After walking for two months, Cao Cao led the soldiers to Yi County.

Stationed in Yi County, Cao Cao was also upset.

With this speed, I don't know when I will be able to enter Liaoxi, where Wuhuan is located.

was bored, Xu Chu reported: "Gong Cao, the eldest son asks to see." ”

Hearing that Cao Shuo was coming, Cao Cao said, "Let him come in and talk." ”

Xu Chu lifted the curtain and Cao Shuo walked in.

He made a big salute to Cao Cao: "I've seen my father." ”

"The army has just been stationed, do you have something to say when you come to see me?" Cao Cao asked.

"Did Father feel that the army was marching too slowly?" Cao Shuo asked.

"How can you not think so?" Cao Cao sighed and said: "There are too many people and horses, too much baggage, at this rate, when we get to Wuhuan, will it be the spring of next year?" ”

"Now that my father has found out, I don't give an order to let the soldiers travel lightly." Cao Shuo said: "The baggage will follow, and when we fight with the Wuhuan people, the baggage can also be sent to the battlefield at the right time." ”

"If it can't be delivered, will the soldiers be hungry?" Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "This method obviously doesn't work. ”

"This is Yi County, and you will enter Youzhou before that." Cao Shuo said: "Once you enter Youzhou, the local government can provide military rations. After passing through Youzhou, we can learn from the Wuhuan people and make a living by looting. ”

"What do you mean......" Cao Cao looked at Cao Shuo in surprise.

"Whether it is the Huns or the Wuhuan people, all nomadic alien races survive by plundering." Cao Shuo said: "For so many years, how many good things have they looted in the Central Plains? We robbed them of some cattle, sheep and grain, and they should not complain. ”

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao smiled and said to Cao Shuo: "This method is not bad, it can be used." ”

He shouted outside the tent, "Zhongkang, come in." ”

Xu Chu entered the tent, and Cao Cao ordered: "Pass the order, let the soldiers advance lightly tomorrow morning, and leave a team of men and horses to escort the baggage." ”

When Xu Chu retreated, Cao Cao asked Cao Shuo, "What are you going to do this time to defeat Wu Huan?" ”

"Do nothing." Cao Shuo said: "Just follow my father's side, and learn more from my father how to use soldiers and people." ”

"Still have to do something." Cao Cao said: "You don't have the ability, I always feel that I have treated you badly." ”
