Chapter 73: We Have No Way Back
Early the next morning, Cao Shuo was still asleep with his head covered.
Cai Ji reported outside the door: "Childe, General Li asks to see you." ”
Sleeping in a daze, Cao Shuo asked, "Which General Li?" ”
"General Li Dian!" Cai Ji said.
Crawling up, Cao Shuo knew that Li Dian must have done it, otherwise he would never have come over early in the morning.
Asking to see him early in the morning is nothing more than asking him for favors.
"General Li, please watch the tea in the front hall." Cao Shuo said: "I'll get up and wash up." ”
is not in Xudu, of course, there are no maids by Cao Shuo's side.
The one who dressed him was Wei Tu, who was his bodyguard.
Spreading his arms, Cao Shuo looked down at Wei Tu helping him tie his clothes: "Look at your strength, if you are born as a woman, you will also be a good wife and mother." ”
Childe laughed. Wei Tu said: "If I am a woman, I will also be a servant who follows the son. ”
"Your kung fu will soon have a fight with Cai Ji." Cao Shuo said with a smile.
"With Childe, you have to learn to pat on the back. If you are comfortable with your son, we will have a better life in the future. Wei Tu said honestly.
"I just praised you, and this is the original form!" Smiled and patted him on the shoulder, Cao Shuo said: "You can't say all the sycophants, you have to say half hide and half hide." You and Cai Ji are far worse! ”
"I see!" Tidying up Cao Shuo's clothes, Wei Tu said: "In the future, I will definitely practice the kung fu of patting sycophants!" ”
Cao Shuo got dressed, and Wei Tu sent another cup of salt water.
In the era when there was no toothpaste, gargling could only be replaced by salt water, tea, etc.
After rinsing his mouth, Cao Shuo led Wei Tu to the front hall.
Li Dian had been waiting here for a long time, and when he heard that Cao Shuo was coming, he hurriedly greeted him: "Second son, you can make me die last night!" ”
"General Li is hard!" Cao Shuo arched his hand and said, "General, please take a seat." ”
After the two of them sat down, Cao Shuo said: "Last night, I heard that the generals went to Cangli to discuss the explanation, and it was inconvenient to help General Li, so the general suffered. ”
"It's nothing." Li Dian said: "Although they made a fuss, the matter was still done. The generals have left some weapons, and the ones handed over are enough for the son! ”
"As long as it's not broken copper." Cao Shuo said: "If you break the enemy army when you go out of the city this time, General Li will make a great contribution!" ”
"I wish Gongzi a victory!" Li Dian arched his hand and asked, "I wonder when Gongzi plans to leave the city?" ”
"It depends on when this snow falls." Got up and walked to the window, looking at the sky full of haze, Cao Shuo said: "The sky is full of haze, the wind is warm, if this snow falls, it will not be small!" ”
"Childe still understands celestial phenomena?" Li Dian asked in surprise.
"It's just common sense." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "I have read a lot of books over the years when I was sick, and some of them record the geography of celestial phenomena, so I took it with me. ”
Li Dian was stunned.
He always thought that Cao Shuo was a sick man, and he couldn't have any great ability.
rescued Cao Cao and infiltrated Wancheng to bring back the bodies of Cao Ang and Dian Wei, Li Dian also thought that it was just luck.
Now it seems that this is not the case at all!
Cao Shuo is not just lucky, but he has been prepared!
After so many years of bedridden, he has not been idle at all, and has been preparing for today.
With such thoughts, Li Dian instantly looked at Cao Shuo.
How did he know that the person in front of him was not the Cao Shuo he knew at all, but the soul of two thousand years later!
"When will General Li deliver the supplies?" Turning around, Cao Shuo asked Li Dian.
"It's all delivered early tomorrow morning." Li Dian said.
"I've taken on the favor of the general!" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "Back to Xudu, I will repay the general!" ”
"It's all for Cao Gong, how dare you let Gongzi take on the favor." Li Dian replied: "It doesn't matter if you repay it or not, I'm just here to tell Childe that there is nothing wrong with the weapon, please rest assured!" ”
personally sent Li Dian out, and Cao Shuo watched his back go away.
Cai Ji, who accompanied him to the door, said: "It is said that General Li is a kind person, but I didn't expect to come to ask for favors." ”
"Who does something for someone and doesn't want to ask for favors?" Cao Shuo said: "The more favors we have, the more convenient it will be for us to do things in the future." It's better to have more friends than more opponents! I'm afraid they won't be flattering! ”
"That's what Childe said." Cai Ji said: "Only Gongzi can see so thoroughly!" ”
Cao Shuo grinned: "I also told Wei Tu in the morning that I want to learn more from you. ”
"What do you want to learn from me?" Cai Ji was stunned.
Immediately, he understood what Cao Shuo meant, and his old face turned red and said, "Childe, I'm really not a sycophant......"
For the next two days, Cao Shuo would go to the barracks every day to be with the soldiers.
In the afternoon of the third day, when he was sitting on the school field with the soldiers for dinner, Wei Tu raised his head and looked at the sky: "It seems to be snowing." ”
Looking at the sky, Cao Shuo really felt two cold snowflakes falling on his face.
"It's finally here!" Cao Shuo stood up and shouted to the six or seven hundred Cao soldiers who were eating: "Soldiers, it's snowing!" It's time for us to get out of town, too! ”
Six or seven hundred people laid down their bowls one after another, and all of them stood up.
"Childe, when are we going to get out of the city?" The only remaining centurion straightened his chest and said, "Brothers, I can't wait for a long time!" ”
"This time is different from previous wars." Cao Shuo said: "Five hundred of you have to leave the city early, and you have to be buried in the snow all day. Are you afraid of the cold? ”
Everyone hesitated.
They know what it means to be buried in the snow all day.
"Childe, we're not afraid of death." Baifu said: "But after being buried in the snow all day, the brothers are frozen, how can they still fight?" ”
"I've got you the thickest winter coat." Cao Shuo said: "Before burying in the snow, I will spread a thick layer of white ash under my body, and when I hide it, I will also spread white ash on my body. There is a white ash barrier, although it will still be cold, but it will not freeze you. What we have to do is to make sure that the enemy army does not think that the ambush will be in the snow! ”
"Childe will do whatever he says!" I wasn't sure in my heart, but Baifu still answered.
"Hard work brothers!" Cao Shuo said: "When we return from victory, we will eat meat and drink wine here, so that others will be greedy!" ”
"Follow Childe, we have a good life!" Many Cao Jun said one after another.
Cao Shuo instructed Liu Shuang: "You take people to find some big carts to transport the white ash to the city gate, and wait to leave the city at any time." ”
Liu Shuang left in response.
He said to Cao Jun who was present: "Soldiers, the battle is coming. This battle determines the survival of the Cao family, and it also determines whether each of us can leave Wuyin alive! We have no way back, only all the way forward! ”
"All the way forward, fight the enemy!" The centurion shouted.
Six or seven hundred Cao soldiers shouted in unison: "Go all the way and kill the enemy bravely!" ”
