Chapter 217 Cao Cao: Can the Grasshopper Conjure 100,000 Arrows?
Cao Cao frowned, "Let me go and see, what the hell is Cao Peng doing?"
Cao Cao took Xu Chu to Cao Peng's camp.
I saw that all the soldiers under Cao Peng were tied with straw men.
A lieutenant recognized Cao Cao and hurried over to salute, "See Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao nodded lightly and asked casually: "Why are you guys?"
The soldier shook his head in confusion, "The general doesn't know why he wants to stab these straw men. This is the order given by General Cao Peng."
Seeing this person, Cao Cao really didn't know, and did not make things difficult for him, so he let him do it.
If the slaughter man was done to others, Cao Cao would only think that the other party was making a fool of himself.
But this incident happened to Cao Peng, and Cao Cao felt that something must be strange about this.
"Where is Cao Peng?" Cao Cao asked.
Xu Chu was stunned, shook his head and said, "The last general came before, but I really didn't see the general."
Just after Cao Cao asked other soldiers, he did not find out about Cao Peng's whereabouts and was about to leave.
A familiar voice called him.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Cao Cao turned around and saw Cao Peng walking towards him.
After Cao Peng approached, Cao Cao asked in a deep voice: "Three days have passed since the ten-day period. Why don't you hurry up and build arrows? Instead, you are stabbing these straw men?"
Xu Chu, who was standing beside him, looked at Cao Peng curiously. Although he was Cao Cao's loyal dog licking, his personal relationship with Cao Peng was also good, and he didn't want Cao Peng to be unlucky.
Cao Peng had already heard a little anger from Cao Cao's tone. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he was a little happy.
The reason why Cao Cao is angry now is that he is worried that he will not be able to complete the task after the agreed deadline.
After all, it is true that Cao Cao wants to restrict his development, but he is also true of Cao Cao and Wang Xing.
This is a very contradictory thing, probably because of the position.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, these straw men are just my way to create 100,000 arrows."
"What?"
Cao Cao frowned and asked, "Can you still create 100,000 arrows as a straw man? Are you joking?"
"Uncle, this is related to my wealth and life, and I won't joke." Cao Peng said seriously.
Cao Cao was a little angry, "How can you make a joke in such a big deal!"
Seeing that Cao Cao still didn't believe it, Cao Peng said again: "I will demonstrate it to my uncle in a few days. Please forgive me for keeping it confidential."
Seeing that Cao Peng was not joking at all, Cao Cao had to choose to believe it.
"Okay, if you can't do this, don't stand it here!"
Cao Peng bowed, "I will understand!"
Cao Cao nodded and left.
Cao Cao thought of one miracle after another created by Cao Peng, but he wanted to see if Cao Peng could create another miracle in a few days.
...
Days passed day by day.
Cao Cao asked someone to go to Cao Peng's tent every day to find out how the progress there was.
However, the news that comes back often is that Cao Peng shows no sign of making arrows.
Cao Cao was already anxious for Cao Peng.
He seemed to have been sure that Cao Peng could not do this.
It seems that it is time to consider the aftermath for him.
Why not find a step at that time and everyone will get better!
The time has finally come, the 10th day of the agreement.
Cao Cao took Xu Chu, Cheng Yu and others to go, and Cao Hong and others followed.
They and their group came to Cao Peng's tent.
The generals saw that Cao Peng was empty here, not to mention 100,000 arrows, they didn't see even one arrow.
Moreover, Cao Peng was not waiting for them in this tent.
"Where is the general? Don't you dare to come?" Cao Hong said, showing a winning smile.
In his opinion, Cao Peng must have not completed the task, so he dared not come.
It is estimated that he will push Gan Ning out to be a scapegoat.
As for himself, of course he would admit his mistake again, so Cao Cao would not pursue him too much.
However, since then, General Cao Peng's reputation will no longer be as loud as before.
Both Cao Hong and Cheng Yu felt that they had won a big victory.
However, three people came towards us in the distance.
Everyone looked over and found that it was Cao Peng who brought Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.
"Prime Minister, generals, I hope to forgive you when I'm late!" Cao Peng bowed and smiled.
Cao Peng was also surrounded by Gan Ning and Zhao Yun, and they both had two straw men in their hands.
Seeing Cao Peng's incident, Cao Cao was still fiddling with these straw men, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
"It doesn't matter if the general is late, but the agreed time period has come. Where is the 100,000 arrow?"
Cao Peng heard something bad about Cao Cao's tone, so he smiled lightly.
Cao Hong suddenly shouted, "General, where is the 100,000 arrow? Today is the 10th day. Are you kidding us?"
Cao Peng pointed with his hand and saw a red sun in the sky.
"Before the sun set today, 100,000 arrows will definitely be placed in front of you!"
Everyone was stunned. They guessed that Cao Peng had transported arrows from other places to charge the numbers?
Cheng Yu said: "General, I promised that the supervisor would create 100,000 arrows. If you transfer them from another place, it may not count!"
Cao Peng smiled and waved his hand, "Mr. Zhongde, don't judge a gentleman's ambition by his villain's heart. Don't worry, I will not transport these 100,000 arrows from other places."
Hearing this, everyone stopped talking.
"Then, are we waiting here until the sun set?" Cao Cao asked.
Cao Peng smiled, "I'll transport 100,000 arrows here now. If you're too bored to stay here, you can go with me!"
Cao Peng's words made everyone completely confused.
"Where do you go?" Cao Cao blurted out and asked.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "If my uncle is curious, you might as well get on the boat and follow me."
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he bowed and took Gan Ning to the riverside.
Cao Hong was the first to be dissatisfied, and he immediately followed closely. She wanted to see what Cao Peng was selling, and Xu Huang and Le Jin were also there.
Seeing that other generals were ready to move, they planned to follow them.
Cheng Yu spoke, "Prime Minister, although I don't know what the general is going to do, if so many generals go with him, will our camp be empty!"
Cao Cao was shocked when he heard this, "Yes, everyone else should not follow him and stay here!"
