When Cao Heng saw Jiang Wei and others, he knew that he would never have the chance to be with Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi this time, and he felt a little disappointed.

When he returned to his residence, he told Huang Wudie that he was about to go to war in three days.

Huang Wudie didn't show anything, but just silently helped him get dressed up.

Seeing Huang Wudie putting pieces of clothes into the bag, Cao Heng hugged her from behind: "What is Madam doing?"

"My husband is about to go to war. I heard that the weather in the north is very cold. Bring a few more clothes to avoid getting cold." Huang Wudie said while cleaning up: "You and I are newly married, and my husband is going to war. It is impossible to say that he is not a little disappointed. But I also know that my husband is for the world of the Great Wei and for the people of the Great Wei to attack the Jie people. I can't stop him. All I can do is wait for my husband at home and look forward to his husband's return soon."

"Don't worry, the Jie people were beaten to death by me last time." Cao Heng replied: "I will destroy them all in the short time this time."

"Your husband should not be too confident." Huang Wudie said: "I heard that the Jie people were once a member of the Huns, and they were more fierce than the Huns. You have to be more careful when fighting with them. After all, the Huns are not stupid. They have fought with the Central Plains for many years and have long been used to the warfare of the Central Plains. No matter how my husband is in the past, I only know that I will never be despised from now on."

She turned around, put her arms around Cao Heng's begging, and raised her face to stare into his eyes: "Husband must remember that I'm waiting at home, but don't let me wait for it, and I haven't waited for anything in the end."

"What did the lady say?" Cao Heng said with a smile: "You don't know my ability. Now that Jie people mention my name, they may tremble all over. How dare they confront me head-on?"

"I just told my husband not to be too arrogant, why can't I listen at all?" Huang Wudie said angrily: "If my husband always looks like this, how can I feel at ease to let you go?"

With his hands wrapped around her waist, Cao Heng moved his palm down unhonestly.

Feeling that he was not honest, Huang Wudie did not resist, and she didn't even twist her body for a moment.

He has long become his man, so why would he let it go?

"I have recorded everything my wife said." Cao Heng said seriously: "I promise that after leaving the customs, I will never underestimate the Jie people, nor will I not ignore them. Every time I meet the Jie people, I will be very energetic. What does the wife think?"

"This is what it should be." Huang Wudie smiled and said to Cao Heng: "I have sorted out some clothes for my husband. Don't forget to bring them with me when I leave. I will ask someone to buy some delicious dry food. If I'm hungry on the road, I can take them out and eat them."

"With a wife, it feels different." Cao Heng said with a smile: "I will definitely be cautious and cautious when going out this time. In the past, I had no worries outside, but now someone is waiting for me at home. How dare I put myself into danger at will?"

"It would be better if my husband really understands these principles." Huang Wudie sighed softly and said to Cao Heng: "I'm afraid that my husband doesn't understand, so I just want to find a few good words to tell me."

He then said to Cao Heng: "Take the side house that my husband has raised outside, and you will also bring her back. Once you go out to war, she will not take care of her alone. Take her home. At least I will not cause any trouble."

The side room that Cao Heng raised was of course the dancer he brought back from Yanmen Pass.

When he returned to Luoyang, he felt that the dancer could not be taken home, so he asked someone to find a house in the city and settle her down first.

But he really didn't go to the dancer's place during this period.

He never regarded the dancer as a side room, but something happened at Yanmen Pass. If she were left with Yang Fu, her fate would not be much better, so he brought it back to her.

I have never been there, and Cao Heng didn't know where Huang Wudie got the news.

Looking at Huang Wudie in surprise, he asked, "How did Madam know?"

"If you do something, as long as I want to know, will you still be hiding it?" Huang Wudie said: "You don't have to take it to heart. I just said that. If you don't want me to take her back, I won't force you to do it."

"Come back." Cao Heng told Huang Wudie what happened at Yanmen Pass: "If you want to deal with her, even if I don't pick her up, you will still have a way. Why not just ask you to pick her up, but it's safer."

"What kind of person do you think of me?" Huang Wudie smiled slightly: "I am not against my husband's growth in the back house, but I just don't always have these women to bring in the back house. If I bring back some famous families or talented women, I'm not happy enough, so how can I get along with my husband?"

"Are you telling the truth?" Cao Heng looked at her in disbelief.

"My husband and I have to live a lifetime. Is there still a false one?" Huang Wudie said: "If I deceive my husband, I will definitely hold a grudge in the future. How can life be better in the future? I also understand that it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. It would be fine if I didn't stop him. If I dare to stop him, I don't know how the world would scold me. Last time, I will settle down when I sent the dancer from Yanmen Pass to the back house. She was humble from her background, so I would definitely not be able to be a concubine. My husband would give her the identity of a concubine."

The so-called concubine, a concubine can be regarded as a little wife. In the back house, in addition to looking at the wife's face, she also has some identity.

In addition to the maid in the back house, Ji is the most humble one.

In some families, Ji's status is not much different from that of the domestic actors, and the owner even asks them to sleep with the guests.

But Cao Heng couldn't do that.

He was originally the eldest son of the Great Wei Dynasty, and only others have always cursed him. How could he need to curry favor with others?

After entering his back house, as long as he is a concubine, although he will not be able to participate in the affairs of the master like a concubine, he will not have to do things to serve others every day like a maid.

It is precisely because Ji doesn't have to serve the wife of the back house, and there is even a maid who is accompanying her. In many families, although the master is regarded as a toy, many maids are still willing to get such an identity.

Cao Heng certainly knew what would happen to the dancer when he was taken to the back house.

He said to Huang Wudie, "If you treat me like this, I will not let you down in the future."

"My husband is a young hero and will become a person like the King of Wei in the future." Huang Wudie said: "Of course I believe my husband will not betray me. It's a pity that I am not a man. I can't be with you even if you go on the battle this time."

Cao Heng smiled: "Luckily you are not a man."

Huang Wudie looked at him in surprise: "Why did your husband say that?"

"If you are a man, how could we become a couple?" Cao Heng said: "If I can have a reasonable wife like you in my back house, I will have more than a few brave men around me, and I can only follow the entourage behind me."

After understanding what he meant, Huang Wudie pursed her lips and smiled: "You are still the husband who can understand it, but I am not thinking about it."

"Of course." Cao Heng replied: "Everyone in the world says that my father and I imagine that if my father can dominate the world, will I be worse?"

Huang Wudie smiled and didn't say anything. It really made her feel a headache to marry such a husband who didn't know what humility was.

The couple was talking in the room, and a maid came to the door: "Young Master Qi, the third general is asking for a meeting."

Of course, Cao Heng knew that the third general mentioned by the maid was Cao Zhang.

He said to Huang Wudie: "It must be very important for Uncle San to see me. I will go to see him first, and I will leave it to you here."

"Don't worry, husband, I'll clean up when I turn around." Huang Wudie responded, and Cao Heng turned around and walked out the door.

************************************************

Cao Zhang did not wait outside his and Huang Wudie's residence, but was twenty or thirty steps away from his residence.

The place opposite the door is a small forest. Twenty or thirty steps out.

Standing on the edge of the forest, Cao Zhang looked up at the canopy of the trees in front of him.

On the tree branch, two birds were jumping around, as if singing happily.

Just as he was looking at the two birds, Cao Zhang heard footsteps coming from behind him.

The footsteps were getting closer, but the birds seemed to be not caring at all, and were still chirping happily on the tree branches.

"Uncle San." Cao Heng called out, and the bird flew up with wings.

Cao Zhang turned around and looked at Cao Heng who was walking over: "You came by a coincidence, which scared the birds I was watching to run away."

"I didn't expect that Uncle Third was actually interested in watching birds." Cao Heng said with a chuckle: "If Uncle Fourth said this, I would really believe it."

"It turns out that in your eyes, only Zijian is the one who knows how to appreciate the wind and moon." Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't bother with you. Who wants me to be a warrior who only knows how to dance with swords and guns in the past?"

"There is nothing wrong with the martial artist." Cao Heng replied first, then asked Cao Zhang: "Uncle San came to see me, probably not just to say this."

"I heard that in two days, you will lead your troops to Yanmen Pass." Cao Zhang asked, "Are you ready for what you should prepare?"

"My father gave me a 50,000 army and also allocated the Feixiong Camp to me." Cao Zhang replied: "I really don't know what to prepare."

Looking at Cao Zhang, he continued to ask: "Uncle San can't go to war with me this time?"

"I need to do some things around your father." Cao Zhang replied, "I have to stay in Luoyang. But I think it is necessary to explain some of the things I have to explain to you first, so as not to suffer the losses of the Jie people at that time."

"Can I suffer the loss of Jie people?" Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Last time in the battle of Yanmen Pass, I saw it. The Jie people's tactics are simple, and they have almost no remarkable tactics. Our army only lost more than a hundred people, and 30,000 to 40,000 people died on the battlefield. How could I suffer the loss of such a stupid opponent?"

"What I worry about is that you have such an idea." Cao Zhang said: "Surprising cities and land is not the tactics that the Jie people are good at. What they are best at is fighting with people in the wilderness. You were going to lead troops to chase the Jie people earlier. Although your fourth uncle and I didn't agree very much, we thought we could help you when it was important, so we agreed. This time you are leading the troops alone and don't understand the Jie people's tactics, you really suffer a big loss."

"Dare you ask the third uncle, what tactics do the Jie people have?" Cao Zhang was Cao Heng's uncle after all, so he didn't dare to act too arrogantly, so he asked with a humble look.

Cao Heng asked, and Cao Zhang said, "The Jie people are all cavalrymen, and their speed is faster than our soldiers. When they get to the wilderness, they will first divide their troops and surround our army from all directions. Once our army is a little lazy, they will rush up. This kind of tactic is often unexpected, and you have to be careful to achieve it."

"I understand." Cao Heng nodded and asked Cao Zhang: "Is there anything else?"

"There is nothing else." Cao Zhang replied: "But the Jie people grew up on horseback since childhood. They are good at equestrianism and are very accurate in riding and shooting. When they meet them in the wild, the best way is to let the soldiers arrange shield formations and then shoot with bows and arrows."

"Is this kind of tactic used by my father before?" Cao Heng asked.

"No, but it was what your father thought of." Cao Zhang said: "When your father led us to attack the Jie people, the Jie people were so scared that they had no intention of fighting when they heard his name. How could they use any tactics?"

"Since my father has never used it, how do you know it will be useful?" Cao Heng smiled and shook his head: "I really don't believe that Uncle San said this."

"It's up to me whether you say it or not, whether you use it or not." Cao Zhang was a little angry: "You dare to even doubt the tactics formulated by your father. I think it's too inflated."

"Don't be angry, I'll just use it." Seeing that Cao Zhang was angry, Cao Heng quickly bowed and said, "As long as Uncle San said, I must record it."

Cao Zhang sighed, then changed the subject and asked Cao Heng: "Have you heard that after we left Yanmen Pass, the Jie people launched several attacks on the Pass?"

"My father has already shown me the battle report." Cao Heng replied: "Our army lost four or five hundred people, and only one or two thousand people were killed or injured by Jie people. Compared with the previous casualties between the two sides, the battle was indeed not very good."

"I think the Jie people must have a new method." Cao Zhang said: "As for what method they used, I can't explain it clearly now. But I believe that they must have used some new tactics, otherwise Yang Fu would not have suffered such heavy losses."

"The Jie people have not suffered many casualties, and Shi Xieyi will definitely step up his attack on Yanmen Pass." Cao Heng said: "If I delay in Luoyang for one more day, Yanmen Pass will be more dangerous."

Cao Zhang nodded: "What you said is indeed correct, I think so too. But you must know that it is not easy to prepare tens of thousands of troops. In just three days, the soldiers must be prepared for the war. It is indeed hasty."

"It's nothing more than food, grass and weapons." Cao Heng said: "It's getting colder, and the soldiers' winter clothes must be prepared in advance. Three days, I think it should be enough."

Cao Heng thought the preparation of the army was too simple. Cao Zhang smiled and shook his head: "When one day you do these things yourself, you will understand that it is not as simple as you imagined. Your father would say that he would go to war in three days, just because there are all these reserves in the treasury. If not, I am afraid that I will not be able to set out in three months."

"Since there is a treasury, just transfer it." Cao Heng asked: "What's the difficulty? I think everything can be done in one day."

"So when you were at Yanmen Pass, you urged the armour to be delivered earlier." Cao Zhang said: "Many things are not as simple as you thought. So it is simple to do, just because you are the eldest son of the Great Wei."

Cao Zhang's words were indeed not very pleasant to Cao Heng.

But Cao Heng did not contradict him.

Uncle San came to remind him that he must be careful when meeting Jie people outside the pass, and there is no need to contradict him.
