After the autumn of the seventh year of Jian'an, Cao Pi was very busy, on the one hand, he had to raise and count the grain and grass with Ren Jun, and on the other hand, he had to gather the people who transported the grain, as the commander who supervised the transportation of grain and grass, all the people were controlled by Cao Pi, which was a problem, this time he crossed the river in the north, and Cao Cao's elite was exhausted, so that he could add the sergeants who surrendered from Yuan Shao, a total of more than 60,000 people.

In the north, Cao Jun only had one stronghold to cross the river, Cangting, and it was impossible to requisition the people along the road, so the people who transported grain and camped had to be brought from Xudu, which meant that Cao Pi had to gather at least 300,000 people, and even if the people captured from Yuan Shao were added, Yuzhou could not take them out, so they could only be requisitioned from Yanzhou, Xuzhou, and Sili.

Although there are Shangshutai to spread books all over the place, but each state and county sent the people at different times, and the location is far and near, resulting in the uneven time of the people coming to Xudu, which caused great trouble to Cao Pi to arrange the people to camp near Xudu and count the number of people, in desperation, Cao Pi can only borrow people from Liu Hong, who is too learned, this group of people is vulgar and unliterate, and they need the help of the scholars to arrange their camps in an orderly manner, otherwise this group of rough people can't even figure out the location of the camp. Not to mention that this temporarily gathered people have to be organized into a series of parts according to the military system, and it will definitely not be possible without the help of scholars.

Fortunately, there are a lot of people in Taixue now, and I heard that Zhijinwu wants to borrow someone to be a scribe in the people's team, and they are very enthusiastic, after all, this is also a way to earn military merits. It is safer to be a clerk in the Minfu camp than to be a scribe in the regular army, so seventy percent of the Taixue students in the entire Taixue are willing to enter the Minfu camp, and Cao Pi was also unceremonious, accepted all the orders, and placed them in the Minfu camps as soon as possible.

Ticai's children also want to follow Cao Pi on the expedition, but they have the responsibility of guarding Xu Du, and they also need to bless the tuntian in various places. So he couldn't make the trip, Cao Pi only brought Cao Zhen and Xiahou Ba, after all, these two people were unique talents in history, and they had to be brought with them for marching and tempering. As for Cao Pi, the cavalry of the two of them, they asked them to find a temporary commander by themselves.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, Jian'an has passed quietly for seven years, and Jian'an has come for eight years. Cao Cao left Xudu on the tenth day of the first month and went north, Cao Pi took Cao Zhen and Xiahou Ba to take on the responsibility of supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and all 300,000 people were under the jurisdiction of Cao Pi, and the escort was led by Shi Jian and Xu Huang 5,000 soldiers, who were also under the jurisdiction of Cao Pi. Cao Pi is now in charge of Jinwu in the official residence, and it is justified to control the two.

300,000 people followed the ass of Cao Cao's army, a gallop road stretched for more than ten miles and was full of people, the scene was very spectacular, Cao Pi walked behind the people, followed by Shi Lian, Xu Huang led by 5,000 soldiers, and Cao Zhen and Xiahou Ba followed.

Xu Huang looks about thirty-five years old, tall, originally a general of Yang Feng under Li Wei, when the Son of Heaven returned to the east, he was attached to Cao Cao, and when he was fighting with Yuan Shao, he had a meritorious role in raiding the Yuan army's grain road during the war with Yuan Shao, and he was already named the Marquis of Duting, Shi Jian was Cao Cao's old subordinate, Cao Pi had seen him when he accompanied the army to conquer Zhang Xiu, but although Shi Lian had followed Cao Cao longer than Xu Huang, he was inferior to Xu Huang in terms of wisdom and bravery, and his military exploits were also overtaken by Xu Huang, so Xu Huang was able to be made a marquis, but he did not. Now it's Xu Huang's lieutenant.

Cao Pi's reputation is now very loud, and Xu Huang also admires Cao Pi from the bottom of his heart, after all, the ability to double grain production will definitely gain a lot of respect in an agrarian society.

Whether it is Xu Huang or Shi Lian, they are both the people who lead the army, so Cao Pi saved a lot of trouble along the way, and the scribes in the people's team did the camping, grain transportation and other affairs in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Xu Huang and Shi Lian, and Cao Pi did not need to do more things at all, but every time Cao Pi began to camp and rest, he heard the news that Cao Cao and the army left a day ago, this is the disadvantage of hundreds of thousands of people marching, the distance between the people in front and the people behind is too far, and now it is only a few days away from Xudu, it is a day's journey, and a few more days, I'm afraid it's three or four days.

Fortunately, after a few days of walking, they arrived at the edge of the river, Cao Cao's army was already waiting for the people to build a bridge by the river, Xu Huang and Shi Jian took the sergeants to supervise the people to cut down trees and build bridges in an orderly manner, and Xiahou Ba and Cao Zhen followed behind to observe, obviously the two were very interested in everything about the march, there is no doubt that this is the basis for becoming a famous general.

The work of building the bridge lasted ten days, and the 20 pontoon bridges sandwiched on the Yellow River looked very spectacular, and only the lower reaches of the Yellow River, where there was a lot of sediment, could build pontoon bridges in this way, if it was in the Yangtze River, there was no other way but to take a boat.

When following the army across the pontoon bridge, Cao Pi was still thinking, if Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang plucked up the courage to attack at this time, would they win a victory? After all, twenty pontoon bridges are not much, and although the Yuan army lost elite troops, the second-rate army can also complete the ability to defeat the sergeant who crossed the river, and now the Cao army is a sergeant and a man to cross the river together, there is no fortification at all, as long as the surprise attack on Cangting is successful, you can attack the Cao army who crossed the river.

When Cao Pi told Cao Zhen beside him about this idea, Cao Zhen smiled and said: "It's not easy to talk about, now the first general under the command of Wenhou is Zhang Wenyuan and the partial general Yu Wenze, Zhang Wenyuan is good at attacking, Yu Wenze is good at defending, and Yuan Shao's two sons are not opponents." ”

At this time, Cao Zhen is already fourteen years old, and his understanding of Cao Jun's generals has been very deep, and he has unique insights into the book of war, and gradually has the temperament of some famous generals, on the other hand, Xiahou Ba, although he is also good at thinking, but he is not as mature as he grows tall, this year Xiahou Ba is eighteen years old, and his visual height has broken through 185 cm, which is close to Cao Chun, the commander of the tiger and leopard cavalry. Undoubtedly, he is getting stronger and stronger, the children in the divine envoy camp, his martial arts are undoubtedly the first, and he can still fight against Lu Bu for twenty or thirty rounds, of course, Cao Pi doesn't know if Lu Bu has released water.

After the Cao army crossed the river, he immediately camped by the river, and after a while, Zhang Liao, one of the guards stationed in Cangting, came to the Cao army formation that was camping, and went directly to Cao Cao to report the military situation, and Cao Pi rode a horse to inspect among the people who were camping. Obviously, Xiahou Ba felt that it was not appropriate to call Wen Hou in public, so he changed it to a title.

Last year, the battle between the Cao army and the Southern Xiongnu in Guanzhong had ended, and Lu Lingqi never came back, Cao Pi thought that she was practicing hard in Chang'an, but she didn't expect to find it at this time.
