Fifty-three from the city of Wan
After the discussion, the generals were ready to go, Cao Zhang also began to tidy up his outfits, Li Xu and Li Ji knew that Cao Zhang was leaving, quite reluctant, after all, the three of them were of the same age, Cao Zhang was 'well-informed' and powerful, and the two little children admired him very much.

Cao Zhang comforted the two and said: "There is no feast in the world, and there will be a day to meet in the future, don't follow your daughter's posture with twisting." ”
After hearing Cao Zhang's words, in order to avoid being despised by Cao Zhang, they didn't say anything more, and finally Li Ji said that he would definitely go to Cao Zhang after learning the art of war, and Li Xu said that he would definitely go to Cao Zhang's personal guard after he grew up and practiced the ring head knife, which made Cao Zhang quite moved, it seems that the so-called 'Wang Ba's qi' can't be used on the fierce generals' and ministers, and it is still feasible to use it on children.
After everything was sorted out, we waited for the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of Jian'an to set off for Wancheng.
This year's Chinese New Year's Eve is still very lively, because in addition to Cao Cao, Cao Ang, Cao Zhang's three fathers and sons, there are also Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Cao Chun, Le Jin, Xu Huang, Li Dian and other subordinates in Wuyang will participate in the drinking banquet, everyone is noisy, but it is also very lively.
One day after Chinese New Year's Eve, the army left the city in the afternoon, because several generals had drunk a lot at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so Cao Cao allowed them to sleep a little longer.
Cao Chang is still in the Chinese army where Cao Cao and Dian Wei are, this time Cao Ang is also in the Chinese army, the two marched on the left and right sides of Cao Cao respectively, and the two talked very happily during the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, but Cao Chang felt that this was a tacit understanding between the two of them in front of Cao Cao, and as his weight in the hearts of Cao Cao and the generals became heavier and heavier, Cao Ang's eyes became more and more strange, and at this point, Cao Chang was sure that he had no illusions.
Cao Zhang was immediately trying to recall the details of Cao Cao's defeat to Zhang Xiu, and wanted to find a clue to the defeat from it, when Cao Cao's voice suddenly came: "Zixuan, how many sergeants do you think our army will lose in the conquest of Zhang Xiu?" ”
This is a habit of Cao Cao, he always likes to teach his son at any time, and Cao Cao also likes to ask Cao Zhang questions before, such as Yuan Shao's disobedience to Cao Cao's general, he asked Cao Zhang's opinion.
Cao Ang replied: "Although Wancheng has high walls and thick walls, there is a moat to rely on, but we have 25,000 halberds, 3,000 tiger guards, and 80,000 people, as long as the people make a few more flying ladders, from the four walls of the city to attack the city, the troops are divided into multiple ways to attack, with Zhang Xiu's troops can not take care of it at all, as long as a city gate is captured, the tiger and leopard cavalry and the tiger guards rush into the city, Zhang Xiu will be defeated, during this period we can let the people feint in many ways, so that about 5,000 people will be lost, and hundreds of halberds can open the city gate, As for the opening of the city, Sergeant Zhang Xiu will definitely be difficult to stop the edge of our army, and he may lose hundreds of sergeants after entering the city. ”
Cao Zhang sighed secretly and said in his heart: "A martial artist." ”
Cao Cao said with a smile: "Well, the number of people is really accurate, and the tactics are appropriate." So he then asked Cao Zhangdao: "Zhang'er, how many sergeants do you think will be lost in this campaign?" ”
Cao Zhang smiled and said, "Father, the child guesses that this crusade against Zhang Xiu will not cost a single soldier." ”
After saying this, Cao Ang looked at himself in astonishment, and the smile on Cao Cao's face expanded: "Oh? Why did Zhang'er say this? ”
Cao Zhang replied with a smile: "Because the child guessed that Zhang Xiu went out of the city and surrendered!" ”
Cao Cao smiled and asked, "Why did Zhang'er say this?" ”
Cao Zhang replied: "First, because our army was called to go to war, Zhang Xiu's resistance is tantamount to rebellion. Second, as my father mentioned, Zhang Xiu's army did not practice in winter, was weak and could not fight, a battle that was undoubtedly defeated and unjustifiable, would Zhang Xiu fight? Even if he wanted to, I'm afraid his men wouldn't want to fight unless he had a plan to win. ”
Cao Cao laughed when he heard this: "It turns out that Zhang'er has already seen the deep meaning of going out for his father at the beginning of the year!" As his father, he went on the expedition at this time to force Zhang Xiu to surrender without a fight. ”
Cao Zhang, by the way, slapped a sycophant and said, "Father is really clever. After speaking, he glanced at Cao Ang, who was riding forward without squinting, obviously hiding his inner thoughts.
Cao Zhang sighed secretly, thinking that when Cao Cao became more and more powerful, Cao Ang's jealousy of himself would become heavier and heavier, and he was only 8 years old now, but Cao Ang was already 20 years old.
But Cao Ang is different, he has already made a lot of military achievements, Cao Zhang can be sure that it won't be long before Cao Ang will become the Taishou of the temperance side, as long as he is not stupid, he can cultivate his own forces, and he still has 7 years to be crowned, and by that time, Cao Ang is already fledgling, and he is just starting, so he is too far behind.
Under Cao Cao's nose, Cao Zhang didn't dare to play any tricks of setting up private soldiers to form a party for personal gain, which meant that Cao Zhang would not be able to develop his own power until at least seven years later, and Cao Ang didn't know how far it had developed at that time.
And the most deadly thing is that the next seven years are the seven years of the war between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, and it is the golden moment of military exploits, if Cao Ang does not die, with his performance on the battlefield, I am afraid that he can already be a assassin or a general, at that time he has more freedom, and in the face of his brother who showed his edge early and has no ability to protect himself, Cao Zhang really can't believe that this big brother will not pinch himself to death.
In the troubled times, brothers work together, Cao Zhang doesn't believe in the nonsense of breaking gold, don't look at Cao Pi is very good with him now, it's hard to say if he is a few years older, and Cao Ang has already questioned himself before, and then he looked at himself with a deep meaning in his eyes, which made Cao Zhang feel a little chilled.
Now Cao Ang is this kind of desire to cover up Mizhang's performance, which makes Cao Zhang's heart even colder, he must make a decision in Wancheng, Cao Zhang said to himself secretly.
After the army marched for 7 days, there were still more than 200 miles away from Wancheng, and Cao Cao decisively ordered the daily march distance to be reduced by half, so as not to be attacked by people when people were sleepy and horses were lacking, and Zhang Xiu was not given any opportunity.
This completely shows Cao Cao's suspicious side, which makes Cao Zhang even more confused, Cao Cao is so cautious, why is he suffocated? Could it be that Zhang Xiu made Cao Cao relax his vigilance after deception? Is this unlikely? Cao Cao is suspicious so far, can he succeed with just a scam? What tricks will this sinister Jia Xu play? It was getting closer and closer to Wancheng, but Cao Zhang had no clue at all, and he couldn't help but be secretly anxious.
Don't make a mistake about sending your little life here with Cao Ang and Dian Wei's little life! Cao Zhang lay in the camp and prayed silently.
