Ma Teng noticed that something was wrong, and Han Sui was also stunned.

Looking at Ma Teng, he blinked his eyes twice, and said in amazement: "Bad thing, we were both killed by Cao Zirong." ”

"What does General Han mean by that?" Ma Teng asked, "What did Cao Zi melt us?" ”

"What else could it be." Han Sui said: "He tricked us to fight with him against the Xiongnu. ”

"Join him in the crusade against the Huns, didn't General Han propose it?" Ma Teng asked, "Why was it deceived?" ”

"Didn't Shou Cheng ask just now, we were originally going to Cao Zirong to say goodbye, why did we have to go to the Hetao with him for some reason?" Han Sui said: "Actually, the two of us went to Xudu at this time, and Cao Mengde will not do anything to the two of us, at most he will not let the army enter Xudu." Since the two of us are harmless, Cao Mengde will not treat us like this. But what Cao Zirong said just now made the two of us feel a little weak-hearted, and somehow agreed to go with him. ”

"I said something was wrong." Ma Teng shook his head and said: "Cao Zi's melting heart is very incompatible, which is very inconsistent with his age. ”

"I didn't expect that the two of us had been fighting for many years, and we were actually teased by a yellow-mouthed kid from him." Han Sui smiled: "But it is precisely because of this that I have a little more affection for him." ”

"We were all deceived by him to the Hetao, why did General Han say that he had a good impression of him?" Ma Teng asked a little puzzled.

"Now it is a troubled time, even you and me, sometimes we do things by unscrupulous means." Han Sui said: "Cao Zirong just did what he had to do, not to mention promising you and me some benefits." ”

"What does General Han think he will do us?" Ma Teng asked.

"Your Majesty is in Xudu today, and for the Cao family, it is easy to reward a few generals." Han Sui said: "The two of us helped Cao Zirong, how could he not wholeheartedly get a reasonable official title for the two of us?" ”

Thinking about it, he was deceived by Cao Shuo, and Ma Teng was a little unhappy in his heart.

But when Han Sui said this, he felt calm.

Cao Shuo is not here, even if they go to Xudu, they will still have to wait a few days before they can be summoned by His Majesty today.

It is better to follow Cao Shuo to the Hetao and make more credits, and then ask the court for more credit.

On the way back to the barracks, Ma Teng and Han Sui figured out that they had been fooled by Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo was sitting in the tent at this time, looking at a map on the table.

Looking at the map, Cao Shuo found that there was a flat river, and even the villages were not marked.

He was looking at the map, trying to analyze something useful from it, and Tian Feng's voice came from outside Zhang: "Childe looking for me?" ”

After Ma Teng and Han Sui left, Cao Shuo immediately asked Cai Ji to invite Tian Feng.

Hearing Tian Feng's voice, Cao Shuo said, "Yuan Hao came in and spoke. ”

Tian Feng lifted the curtain and walked in.

He saluted Cao Shuo again and asked, "Childe is looking for me, is there anything important to discuss?" ”

"Ma Teng and Han Sui came just now, have you heard?" Cao Shuo asked Tian Feng.

Tian Feng replied: "When they left, I happened to see the back. ”

"The two of them have agreed to accompany me to the Loop." Cao Shuo said: "What we have to do now is to wait for the army to come. ”

"Gongzi used almost all of Huainan's strength this time to defeat the Huns, we can't afford to lose at all!" Tian Feng said: "Being able to bring the Xiliang Army is of course a few more chances of winning." ”

"Our army is 80,000 people, and the Xiliang army is 20,000." Cao Shuo said: "It adds up to a total of 100,000 troops. With the addition of two entourage men, this team has as many as 300,000 people. ”

"300,000 people, which is equivalent to the number of Mengtian who fought against the Xiongnu back then." Tian Feng said: "This time, Gongzi will go to the Hetao, and he will definitely be able to win." ”

"I don't want you to come to sing praises to me." Cao Shuo said: "I want to discuss with you the route of the troops, and then think about how to deploy the Xiliang army." ”

"Dare to ask Gongzi, how did you get Ma Teng and Han Sui to agree to accompany Xiliang Army?" Tian Feng asked.

sent Ma Teng and Han Sui away, Cao Shuo of course remembered what he said to the two of them, so he repeated what he had just said to Ma Teng and Han Sui to Tian Feng.

After listening to Cao Shuo's story, Tian Feng smiled slightly: "It seems that the two of them have understood at this time, they have fallen for the son." ”

"I think they should get it too." Cao Shuo grinned: "If they are stupid enough to even be so obvious, and they are complacent afterwards, I no longer expect them to achieve anything in the Hetao." ”

"Since Childe knows that they can see through it, why do you still say that to them?" Tian Feng asked puzzled.

"I concluded that even if they saw through it, they would never say it, let alone regret it, so I said it to them." Cao Shuo said: "As long as the two of them agree to go to the Xiongnu with me, they will be tied to the same ship as me. If you want to get off the ship at this time, I'm afraid it's already too late. ”

Tian Feng didn't say anything, just looked at Cao Shuo silently.

The explanation given by Cao Shuo cannot be regarded as a reason at all in Tian Feng's view, and there must be a deeper reason for him to do so.

Sure enough, Tian Feng was looking at himself, and Cao Shuo asked, "Yuan Hao can't figure it out?" ”

"Figured it out." Tian Feng replied: "It's just that I haven't thought very clearly, and I asked Gongzi to explain the confusion to Yue." ”

"They have promised me, and if they go back on it, it will be an offense against me." Cao Shuo said: "Although I am not a father, I am the son of the Cao family. I still have some weight in speaking in front of my father, at least if I have already made a contribution, and neither of them will be my enemy if they say anything. has been guarding Xiliang for many years, and what they lack is not soldiers and horses, let alone any goods, grain and grass. What they really want is an official position that His Majesty has personally canonized today. So far, they have already obtained half of their official positions, how can they give up so easily? What's more, I just promised them some new benefits. ”

"By the time they return from the Hetao, the two of them will probably already be extremely retainers." Tian Feng smiled and asked, "Childe just talked about the route of sending troops, I don't know if there is a detailed plan?" ”

"Didn't I call you here just to ask you which way to enter the loop?" Pointing to the map, Cao Shuo said: "I have been checking the map for a long time, but I found that the Hetao area is a flat river, if our army walks in, let alone find the royal court of the Huns, even if it is to write down the road that has been taken, it is very difficult." ”

"The Huns are not the same as us." Tian Feng replied: "The Huns have no villages at all, and wherever they have abundant water and grass, they drive cattle, sheep and horses to settle down. With a map, Childe is afraid that it is impossible to think of a route to advance. ”
