It was noon the next day when Cao Shu came to Cao Cao's military camp.

As soon as he entered the military camp, Xu Chu came over: "Young Master, Mr. Cao was waiting for you in the morning."

"Didn't I send someone back and say it's time to arrive at noon?" Cao Shu said: "What did my father wait for me to do so early?"

"Mr. Cao hasn't seen the young master for a long time, so of course I hope to come sooner." Xu Chu said: "Please follow me to see Mr. Cao, don't let him wait in a hurry."

"How dare I let my father wait in a hurry?" Cao Shuo said: "Please help Brother Zhongkang lead the way."

When he came to Cao Cao's tent, Xu Chu said, "Report to Cao Gong, the eldest son is here."

"Let him come in." Cao Cao's voice came from the tent.

Xu Chu lifted the curtain: "Young Master, please!"

When he entered the tent, Cao Shu saw Cao Cao having a meal with his rice bowl.

There were a few green vegetables on the yellow corn rice, not even a bit of meat.

"Father just eat these?" Cao Shuo asked.

He looked up at him and Cao Cao said, "The army does not have much food and grass. Do you think I will be like you, with big fish and meat all day long?"

"My father said this, it was really wrong for me." Cao Shuo looked bitter: "Actually, I live a hard life, but I just don't want my father to know and feel sorry for me..."

"Don't talk about these useless things with me." Cao Cao said: "I know what life you live."

"I heard that you recruited Yan Liang, Wen Chou and Ju Yi?" Cao Cao asked.

"Back to my father, that's the case." Cao Shu said: "Yuan Shao planned to kill their family. I sent Huo Wu to move their whole family out of Yecheng..."

"Yuan Shao didn't plan to kill him. You made him want to kill him, right?" Cao Cao interrupted Cao Shu.

"I don't have that ability." Cao Shu said: "Yuan Shao is not a fool either. He has many counselors and staff around him. If I put my mind into it, he can't see through it?"

"That's right." Cao Cao smiled slightly and asked Cao Shu: "I asked Zhongkang to find you a few days ago, why don't you come?"

"At that time, Ju Yi was about to attack the city, so how dare I leave easily." Cao Shu said: "Although Liu Yan has more than a thousand soldiers, they will be the opponent of the first camp. I have also learned that the best thing about the first camp is to attack the city. With Liu Yan, he can't stand it at all."

"It's fake that Liu Yan can't stand it, and it's real that I'll ask you for Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others." Cao Cao interrupted Cao Shu again: "I'm your father, and the Cao family is also your family, so why should the father and son distinguish so clearly?"

"What did my father say?" Cao Shuo said: "If I want to keep Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, I will lend them to my father."

"Forget it." Cao Cao said: "Their family is all in Shouchun, and you sent someone to rescue him. I have already decided that you are the lord, so I can't use it if I force myself to stay."

"I haven't thought about this before." Cao Shuo said with a grin.

"Did you think about it? You know it yourself." Cao Cao said to Cao Shu: "Others going to fight will lose some troops. Only you will not lose much, but you will also earn several powerful generals."

"It's all luck." Cao Shu grinned and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Yuan Shao was defeated by our army twice in a row. He should be resting and waiting for a decisive battle with our army." Cao Cao said: "I received a report that Sun Ce in Jiangdong might be unfavorable to our Cao family. Have you heard of it?"

"I also heard that Sun Ce was mobilizing troops recently, but he didn't see where he was going." Cao Shu said: "Maybe he was going to attack Jingzhou."

"Jiangxia was defeated by Sun Ce, and Huang Zu retreated to Shaxian. After rectifying the troops, he drove the Jiangdong army back." Cao Cao asked, "Have you heard of these?"

"I haven't heard of it." Cao Shuo said: "If this is true, it only means that the Jiangdong Army is in average combat power, so there is no need to worry about them."

"Huang Zu is a long-time general on the battlefield. He was repeatedly frustrated when fighting Sun Ce. You can't underestimate him." Cao Cao said: "I have a plan and I'm about to ask you what you mean."

"Father, please tell me."

"There will not be a big war in Hebei for the time being. I plan to let you go back to Huainan first to intimidate Sun Ce." Cao Cao said: "After all, you are a little prestige now."

"Father praised it." Cao Shuo said with a shy smile: "I have no small prestige. I'm not all my prestige. I'm sitting under the shade of the tree to enjoy the cool air."

"You know a little about it." Cao Cao said: "Although it's not far from Baima, it's hard to get on the road. You go and rest first. I'll call you if you have any questions."

"Boy left!" Cao Shuo bowed and retreated with his fists.

He breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the handsome tent.

Cao Cao saw through all the little calculations he made.

It seems that in the future, I have to be more at ease in front of Cao Cao.

Just as he was about to leave, Guo Jia came to him.

He bowed to Cao Shu with a smile on his face, and Guo Jia asked, "Hello, Master?"

"Mr. Guo!" Cao Shuo replied, "I'll be fine for you, thanks to Mr. Guo."

"I haven't seen the young master for a long time. I wonder if I want to come to my account to talk?" Guo Jia asked.

"How can Mr. Guo refuse to be kind?" Cao Shuo said: "Mr. Guo, please!"

The two came to Guo Jia's camp.

After entering the tent, Cao Shu found that there were also some simple cages placed here like Cao Cao's tent.

"Does my father and Mr. Guo settle down here?" Cao Shu asked, "Why did they bring the cages?"

"The Yuan family suddenly attacked, and we led our troops here, and it was impossible to defeat Yuan Shao in one fell swoop." Guo Jia said: "It's just here to settle down temporarily."

"Please sit down, please." Guo Jia gestured to Cao Shuo.

After sitting down, Cao Shu asked Guo Jia: "Mr. Guo is looking for me, so I have something to say."

"Talking to a smart person like the young master is worry-free." Guo Jia smiled slightly: "I came to the young master and I really have something to say."

"Mr. Guo, please speak." Cao Shuo said.

"Young Master is on the White Horse. Have you ever given the soldiers a holiday?" Guo Jia asked.

"What did Liu Yan and Mr. Guo say?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Guo Jia.

"He didn't tell me, but sent someone to send a letter to Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "Cao Gong asked me to talk about this matter with the young master, but I didn't know what to say."

"If others don't understand, Mr. Guo should be able to understand." Cao Shuo said: "If you want the soldiers to take their hearts, you must first ask them to see the benefits. If there is no benefit, why should others follow me to fight the world, and why should they work hard for me?"

"What the young master said," Guo Jia said, "So I don't know what to say to the young master."
