Chapter 104: Borrow arrows from a straw boat first
Cao Ang brought Cai Mao back, but he threw himself on his knees.
"The eldest prince, the last general...... Is it inevitable to die? ”
"What are you panicking, get up, things will pass in a few days."
Cai Mao refused to get up, Cao Ang shook his head again, "I said that I would protect you, you won't die, at least you won't die in the hands of your own people, do you believe me?" ”
"No, no, the eldest prince wants to save me!"
"Don't worry, there is a time for you to make meritorious contributions."
Cai Mao is not really afraid of death, but afraid of dying with stigma, so that her family will also suffer.
Joining the army in troubled times, you can't do this position without the consciousness of death, but the general's death before the battle and the execution of the inner ghost are obviously not the same concept, who doesn't want to feed a family.
He trembled and said, "I didn't take refuge in Jiangdong, eldest prince, otherwise I would have gone to the prime minister to distinguish right from wrong, right?" ”
"You can tell a fart!"
Cao Ang scolded, "I have a bad appetite these days, you can see if you can get some fish in the winter, remember, don't appear in front of the prime minister these days!" ”
was assigned an inexplicable task, Cai Mao was a little confused, didn't she want to interrogate?
As a result, Cao Ang directly blasted him out again, and as if this had never happened, Cai Mao was sent to fish.
Just kidding, go to Cao Cao to distinguish right from wrong at this time?
Cao Cao is afraid that he already knows that he is impulsive, but he can't admit it, just walk around him.
At this time, he was still thinking about going to Cao Cao, and he definitely didn't hesitate to ask for Cai Mao's head.
Since Cao Ang took people over, Cao Cao acquiesced to the past, as long as no one mentioned it afterwards, then Cao Cao's calculation by Zhou Yu was gradually forgotten, and he had to go down the stairs.
Cai Mao was kicked out by Cao Ang, but he finally put his mind at ease.
At least from Cao Ang's attitude, it can be seen that he is safe now.
Cai Mao just went out here, and there were guards outside to report, and he tried to see him.
Cao Ang let people in, and the Force immediately knelt down and said, "The eldest prince, I am afraid that the thing you asked to build a thousand crossbows cannot be completed, please spare your life!" ”
"What are you doing here, you won't be killed if you don't finish speaking, right?"
This probably doesn't understand Cao Ang's style very well, and Cao Ang is not this person who ignores the era of life.
Cao Ang asked again: "Then what went wrong this time, and what parts are broken?" ”
"Not really, it's just ...... The rest is easy to say, we can all finish it in a hurry, but the arrow ......"
"There are no arrows, so why didn't you say it beforehand?"
"There used to be ships from Gangneung, but now they ......"
It turned out that this was the case, and Cao Ang managed the Wulin camp before, but now that Cao Cao is here in person, Cao Ang will no longer be in charge of the materials, and the iron ingots used as arrows will not be able to handle them.
The crossbow itself is fine, and there is also a suitable wood Ulin, so if it doesn't work, change the bow.
But arrows are consumables, don't look at the need to build a thousand crossbows, and the crossbow arrows used for consumption are not counted.
"The problem with the arrows...... Okay, I ask you, can you use a bow and arrow directly? ”
"If there is, you can, but we don't have many arrows."
"No problem, you leave this to me, I'll get the arrow."
Cao Ang is full of confidence, if this can't be solved, how can it really mix the Three Kingdoms, really.
He told the Force to go back and build all the crossbow machines first, and then he went to see Cao Cao himself.
……
Cao Cao was discussing things with Cheng Yu, and at this time, the guards informed Cao Ang that he was coming to see him, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, shouldn't this kid not know how to be a person, save Cai Mao and then come to reason with his father?
If so, then it would be too shrewd.
Although it was annoying, Cao Cao still wanted to know why Cao Ang came and wanted to see how this son behaved.
Immediately asked Cao Ang to be brought to the military tent, and Cheng Yu stood aside and watched for the time being.
Because he had done foolish things before, he almost killed the two generals who were really familiar with the navy, so Cao Cao felt that it was better to have someone by his side to remind him.
And the relationship between Cheng Yu and Cao Cao is extraordinary, he is naturally different from others.
"What's the matter with my son?"
"Father, my son is here to transfer the ship to my father."
Cao Cao was stunned: "What, what is the use of the boat you want at this time, this river is in front of the two armies, what do you want?" Didn't you let you focus on building the camp, if you don't build it well, these warriors under my command who have fought the entire Central Plains will be about to fall ill! ”
Although the boats were connected together, it still didn't seem to be stable on land, and Cao Cao was also in a hurry.
Otherwise, it would have been fought a long time ago, this water battle is indeed unusual, it is unrealistic to expect a water battle of the Northern Army, and on the river, the Jiangdong Water Army is now stronger than Cai Mao Zhang Yun's troops.
Now, you know how important these two naval governors are.
Cao Ang said calmly: "Father, you only need a small clipper, about twenty." ”
"Say, what do you want a ship?"
"Go and borrow arrows from that Dongwu!"
That's right, it's the stalk of the straw boat borrowing arrows.
Unlike Zhuge Liang, Cao Ang couldn't pretend to be mysterious to his father, and Cao Cao, who was chattering, didn't eat this.
Then you have to make it clear at the beginning, otherwise you will be coaxed out of the boat, and Cao Cao will still not be happy to bring back the arrow.
No matter what you do now, Cao Ang can't think about anything else, first consider Cao Cao's feelings, no matter how much you win, as long as Cao Cao is not happy, you will lose, do you dare to operate with Cao?
No matter how strong he is, Cao Ang can't do anything with Cao Cao, otherwise he will be infamous through the ages.
From another point of view, as long as Cao Cao is happy, no matter how much you fail, you will be the ultimate winner......
"You borrow arrows...... This borrowed? ”
Cao Cao couldn't figure it out, "No, what do you want arrows for?" ”
Cao Ang said calmly: "In the first few battles with Dongwu, there was too much loss, and now the camp is under construction, I am afraid that someone from Dongwu will come to steal the camp, so be prepared." ”
Borrow?
Cao Cao still can't quite understand Cao Ang's statement, it is reasonable to need arrows, but you won't ask your father for it?
But at the same time, Cao Ang's statement aroused Cao Cao's curiosity.
"How do you borrow the law, are you trying to persuade the people of Jiangdong to surrender?"
"No...... Father, will you allow me to sell it and wait until I get back? ”
Cao Ang also deliberately skinned it, this is harmless, some things are too boring to say.
The main reason why he wanted to use this plan was not the lack of arrows, but to show it in front of Cao Cao.
Why show this?
That's not because Cao Ang was born with a love for show, but after he used this trick, Zhuge Liang couldn't use it anymore, and Cao Cao was prevented from suffering this loss from the source!
So this is the best way, not to persuade Cao Cao, but to use this strategy in person, so that Cao Cao knows that it is good to take precautions.
"Okay, then I want to see how Wu'er wants to borrow it, Zhongde, you go and see with Ziyu."
