Chapter 1422 Fool the Montenegrin Army
First, let the four beauties retreat, Zhang Yan said to Cao Pi: "Young Master, please sit down."
"This is the general's military camp, how can I sit at the seat?" Cao Pi said with a smile: "Just like Mr. Wu and I will accompany you!"
"How can that happen!" Zhang Yan said seriously: "I am following Mr. Cao, and the young master is also the master. How can I sit in the upper seat?"
"General Zhang, don't refuse." Wu Zhi said, "Young Master came this time, which actually brought great benefits to the general."
"Big benefits?" Zhang Yan asked, "What benefits?"
"Do you want military achievements?" Cao Pi asked mysteriously.
"I had defeated Yuan Shang before, and Cao Gong had already given a reward." Zhang Yan said: "I was going to be attacked by the Yuan family in Taihang earlier, but now I am going to attack the Yuan family, so I am proud. Of course, if I can achieve military achievements again, it would be the best."
"The young master is ordered to conquer Yuan Shang and Yuan Xi. I wonder if the general is interested in following him?" Wu asked.
"Attack Yuan Shang, Yuan Xi?" Zhang Yan said: "I heard that Yuan Shang has fled to Youzhou."
"I know he fled to Youzhou." Cao Pi said: "But he is a remnant of the Yuan family after all. Even if he fled to the horizon, the Cao family would destroy him."
"The Yuan family has a grudge against me, so of course I am willing to attack you." Zhang Yan asked, "What are the plans of the young master?"
"My father originally planned to transfer the Tiger Guards and the Tiger Leopard Cavalry to me." Cao Pi said: "But I thought that he was an elite under my father's command after all, so it was too disgusting for me to take it away."
"Young Master, please ask Mr. Cao for battle for me." Zhang Yan said quickly: "Although the Black Mountain Army is not as strong as the Tiger Guard Army, it is still enough to deal with Yuan Shang."
"The general thinks the same as me." Cao Pi smiled slightly: "I asked my father to ask him to allow the Black Mountain Army to attack Youzhou. But I have a condition."
"As long as Cao Gong promised to let the Heishan Army go to Youzhou, no matter what the young master proposed, I would agree." Zhang Yan said with his chest patted.
"I want to lead the army with General Zhang." Cao Pi said: "When I meet a major decision, I hope General Zhang can obey my opinions."
Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment and asked in a little distress: "Young master is going too?"
"Of course I have to go." Cao Pi said: "The general wants to make a contribution, and I want to do so, how can I lose my great achievements like the attack on Yuan Shang?"
"The Black Mountain Army has been with me for many years, but I am afraid that the young master will give the order, and they will..." Zhang Yan pinched her chin and hesitated for a long time and said.
"How could I give orders to the Black Mountain Army?" Cao Pi said with a smile: "I just ask the general to do it or not. As for military orders, of course, the general has to issue them."
Zhang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he didn't know Cao Pi's methods, he was not at ease to hand over military power to others.
The Black Mountain Army was the foundation for his achievements. If he was taken away by someone, he would be dead.
"Since this is the case, please ask Mr. Cao to fight." Zhang Yan bowed and said.
"I have already told my father." Cao Pi said: "My father agreed, too. I came here just to ask whether the general is willing or not. As long as the general agrees, the army can go to war at any time."
"How can you not agree to such a good thing?" Zhang Yan said: "Young Master, don't leave tonight. I'll ask someone to prepare some meat, wine and food..."
"The general's army is not rich, so I have brought all the meat, wine and food." Cao Pi smiled and said, "All I bring is for the banquet with the general. At most, more wine and meat will be delivered to the army tomorrow. Then let the soldiers have a good meal so that we can make contributions to the war."
"Young Master is still thoughtful." Zhang Yan said: "In this way, it seems like I haven't entertained the young master well."
"General Zhang doesn't have to take it to heart." Cao Pi lowered his voice and said to him: "To be honest, the Cao family has many soldiers. Except for the elite troops beside his father, most of the troops are self-sufficient. The elder brother is in Huainan, and the soldiers under his subordinates are also responsible for the elder brother. Although the general joins the Cao family, if he fails to become his father's confidant, he will probably be inferior to others in the future in terms of military supplies."
"Is there such a thing that I have said?" Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment.
"Of course there is such a saying." Cao Pi said with a smile: "But you don't have to worry about the general. When we break through Youzhou, I will naturally help the general become my father's confidant."
"I have nothing to worry about with the young master here." Zhang Yan bowed and said, "Rely on the young master!"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Cao Pi replied, "As long as you attack Yuan Shang, the general and I work together, and don't be suspicious of each other."
"Young Master is thinking about our Heishan Army. How could I suspect you?" Zhang Yan patted his chest and said, "Young Master just don't worry. When I attack Yuan Shang, I will obey the orders of your son."
That night, Cao Pi stayed in Zhang Yan's army and got drunk.
It was not until noon the next day that he left with Wu Zhi.
On the way back, Cao Pi asked Wu: "Did you say anything you shouldn't say after I got drunk last night?"
"What the young master said after he was drunk is more refreshing than what he said when he was awake." Wu Zhi said: "This time he attacked Youzhou, I believe Zhang Yan will not interfere with the young master."
"That's right, he is the commander of the Montenegro Army after all." Cao Pi said: "With him here, the Montenegro Army will never obey my orders."
"Young Master, don't worry." Wu Zhi said: "First establish prestige in the Black Mountain Army, and then give Zhang Yan a higher priority."
"I want to capture the Black Mountain Army in my hands. What's the use of holding Zhang Yan high?" Cao Pi asked.
"Of course it is useful." Wu Zhi said: "As long as the young master establishes prestige in the Heishan Army and shows no desire for military power, not only will Zhang Yan no longer have any doubts about the young master, but even the soldiers of the Heishan Army will be more convinced. When we arrive in Youzhou, our army will conquer the city one after another, and sooner or later we will hand it over to the eldest son. How can the Heishan Army harm you will not harm the young master at all."
"What you mean is to let the Black Mountain Army know that there are many benefits to follow me to fight?" Cao Pi asked.
"That's what it means." Wu Zhi replied: "The Black Mountain Army was originally a Yellow Turban thief. They did too much burn, kill, looting, and suddenly restraining them would make it difficult for them to adapt. The young master helped the eldest son get Youzhou because it would become a place for the Black Mountain Army to train troops. The Cao family's army burned, killed, looting in Youzhou. It would not be so easy for the eldest son to establish prestige in the future. He had more constraints on many Youzhous."
Looking at Wu Zhi, Cao Pi shook his head and smiled: "Why didn't I realize you have these abilities? If I had discovered it earlier, I wouldn't have become a lieutenant until now."
