Hearing that Cai Yan was pregnant, Cao Shuo hurriedly asked, "How long has it been?" How did I not know? ”

"Soon after Gongzi left Shouchun, General Huang Lao found out." Chen Zhi replied: "The old general is old and has a son, and he is very happy all day long. ”

"The old general should be old and strong, if he can give birth to a son, the Huang family will also have a successor in the future." Cao Shuo said: "After winning the world, I still have to use people, and when you are all old, I have to reuse your son." In the future, I will be idle and have nothing to do to get close to my wife, but don't let the people around me be cut off. ”

"I'm afraid our son is going to follow the little son." Chen Zhi smiled: "When we people are old, the son is also old." ”

"That's right." Cao Shuo smiled: "I really hope that there will be no war for some days, so that I can compare with you who is better at giving birth." ”

"There are many ladies in the back house of the son, and we can't compare." Chen Zhi waved his hand again and again.

"Childe." While the two were talking, Lu Bu interrupted them: "Isn't it time to talk about crusading against Chen Han?" ”

"That's what General Lu said." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I was happy to see you for a while, but I only cared about the usual things and forgot all the serious things." ”

"The main purpose of transferring you here is not for Chen Han." Cao Shuo said: "When the army comes to Samhan, deterrence is far more important than fighting. ”

"Deterrence?" Lu Bu asked, "It's just a deterrent, could it be that Chen Han will also surrender?" ”

"I didn't want them to surrender." Cao Shuo said: "If they surrender, many things will not be easy. I have already made arrangements in Chenhan, and when the army enters the territory of Chenhan, they will also be chaotic without us fighting. ”

"I wonder what kind of plan Childe made?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Do you know that Sanhan is still like the former Qin Dynasty in China, and drove people as livestock?" Cao Shuo asked the two of them.

Lu Bu and Chen Zhi glanced at each other and shook their heads.

Chen Zhi said: "Although we know that there is a place in Samhan, we have never been here. Liaodong is adjacent to Sanhan, and they have sealed off the news here, so it is impossible to know what it is like here. ”

"The news of the Liaodong Gongsun family's blockade of Sanhan is actually for themselves." Cao Shuo said: "The Gongsun family not only fought against the Wuhuan people, but also fought against the Sanhan people. Every time the Samhan were defeated, they would demand the payment of ginseng as war reparations. I only learned about this after I came to Samhan. With such benefits, of course, the Gongsun family refused to let outsiders know how backward Sanhan was. ”

"That's what Childe said." Chen Zhi replied: "If the people of the Central Plains know that Sanhan is such a backward place, I am afraid that together with the Gongsun family of Liaodong, they will suffer." ”

"That's inevitable." Cao Shuo asked, "When you passed through Liaodong, the Gongsun family didn't have any troubles?" ”

"Nope." Lu Bu replied: "Not only did he not make any trouble, Gongsun Kang even went to greet us in person and sent us to the border between Liaodong and Sanhan. ”

"Gongsun Kang did this, I really can't find a reason to kill him in the future." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and said to the two of them: "After breaking through Chenhan, we are going to fight Liaodong, and the two generals should not be unable to do it." ”

"As long as Childe asks us to do something, we will do our best." Lu Bu and Chen Zhi responded at the same time.

Cao Shuo said again: "The army has only arrived in Sanhan, and the soldiers have not yet adapted to the severe cold here, let them rest for two days first, and then I will lead the army to attack Chenhan." ”

The two of them responded again, and Lu Bu asked Cao Shuo: "Childe, I heard that it has always been a winter and spring war, and Sanhan is located in the north, why did you choose to march in winter?" ”

"When they march in winter, they can't guard against it." Cao Shuo said: "Most of the officers and men of our army are from the Central Plains, and many of them have not experienced such a cold winter. Before I set out, I had already recruited a lot of winter clothes. Although Samhan is cold, it will not freeze people to death. Further north, the winter is even colder, and if the soldiers fail to adapt to the harsh winter, we will lose even more. ”

"Childe wants to fight further north?" Chen Zhi said: "Further north, you will enter the barren land. ”

"Barren land has the benefits of barren land." Cao Shuo said: "Although it is sparsely populated, there are many things that we can use in the future. The most important thing is that further north, the terrain is flatter. If we can overcome the climate and make the most of the four seasons, we can still grow a lot of food there. The land in the Central Plains is limited, and if we don't reclaim those barren lands, how can we feed the people if the population will increase in the future? ”

"Childe encourages childbirth, and now Shouchun and other places are full of children under the age of seven or eight." Chen Zhi said: "It really costs a lot to open so many mouths to eat. ”

"Children will eventually grow up, and today's strong will grow old one day." Cao Shuo said: "But don't think that children are a burden, we have to defend the country." ”

Lu Bu and Chen Zhi both nodded.

Just when Cao Shuo was about to let the two go back to rest, the curtain was lifted, and Guo Jia broke in.

"Childe!" After entering the tent, Guo Jia arched his hand to Lu Bu and Chen Zhi, and then said to Cao Shuo: "Something happened to Chen Han's side. ”

Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment and asked him, "What's wrong?" ”

"Although Childe gave the order for them to endure it, there were still some slaves who couldn't hold back." Guo Jia said: "There were two mutinies in two places last night, and it seems that we can't wait any longer. ”

"The stick really doesn't have a brain." Cao Shuo said a little depressedly: "They only wanted to be refreshed for a while, but they didn't think about how they would deal with it if the army couldn't arrive in time." ”

Looking at Lu Bu and Chen Dao, Cao Shuo said: "I originally planned to let the two generals and soldiers rest for two days, but Chen Han's slaves couldn't afford to wait, so they could only immediately send troops to Chen Han and take them down in one fell swoop." ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Lu Bu and Chen Zhi stood up and responded in unison: "We are willing to take the lead!" Take down Chenhan for Gongzi. ”

Cao Shuo also stood up.

He said to Lu Bu: "General Lu, you lead 5,000 soldiers and horses as the vanguard to enter Chenhan first, and anyone who dares to stop will be killed!" ”

Lu Bu received the order, and Cao Shuo then said to Chen Zhi: "Shu Zhi led the army with me, with General Lu attacking the city and plundering the land and Chen Han slaves to deal with it, all we have to do is to deter the sticks and make them understand that there is only one way to resist and die!" ”

Chen Zhi also received a military order.

Cao Shuo then beckoned: "Let's go!" ”

The order to go out was issued, and the soldiers of the Cao army were jubilant.

Especially the standing army whose profession is to fight, the days without war are simply more torturous for them than death.

Lü Bu first set off with 5,000 men and horses, and two hours later, Cao Shuo led the army to advance towards Chenhan.
