Chapter 852: Pleading (4000)(2/2)
In fact, there are some situations that Cao Chun did not explain.
For example: Even Cao Chun himself was not confident that he could gain an absolute advantage in a strong attack.
Until now, Cao Chun still clearly remembers what happened in Anyi and Wancheng. The thunder that shook the sky and the insinuations will make the Hu army a powerful weapon against a hundred.
When Lu Bu's troops faced the thundering thunder, they lost their combat effectiveness in just one move.
When Zhang Xiu's troops faced the insinuation, Wu Liang outnumbered the enemy and defeated the Chinese army. Zhang Xiu and Jia Xu were forced to kneel down.
This is something Cao Chun never dared to think about before seeing it with his own eyes.
Although Wu Liang claimed that all the thunderbolts had been used up long ago, there must still be some insinuations. If faced with a strong attack by the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the Hu army used such weapons to fight back...
Even if the tiger and leopard cavalry are all elite generals selected from a hundred people, they may not be able to resist.
The cost of selecting and training Tiger and Leopard Cavalry soldiers is extremely high. Even if one person is killed in battle, it is equivalent to cutting off the flesh of Cao Chun's heart. This is not only a loss that he cannot afford, but also a loss that Boss Cao cannot afford.
If things really come to that point.
Naturally, it was also a major mistake on his part, Cao Chun. Otherwise, why would Boss Cao leave him here to assist Cao Pi in handling this matter when he went to Guandu to supervise the war?
It is said that it is assistance, but in fact it is more to control risks, so as to prevent Cao Pi from doing some impulsive things due to lack of care and making things develop out of control.
Cao Chun understands Boss Cao.
Boss Cao is an opportunist.
It would be best if the raw rice could be cooked before Wu Liang came back, and Wu Liang would not be in a dilemma because of his friendship with his colleagues.
But if it really can't be done, Boss Cao can only wait for Wu Liang to come back before putting pressure on him...
"this……"
Cao Pi had a look of reluctance on his face. He knew that Cao Chun's words were reasonable, but he still couldn't swallow this breath.
Just like this stalemate.
"Click, click, click!..."
There was a rapid sound of horse hooves in the distance.
A small group of about ten people was approaching quickly. The horse had obviously reached its limit, but the man on it was still beating hard and kept saying "drive" to drive it away.
"Who is coming?"
Cao Pi looked suspicious.
"It's Wang Qing from Cao's Salt Company. At least 20% of our army's food and salary are currently supplied by Cao's Salt Company."
Cao Chun frowned slightly, "This man has a close relationship with your brother-in-law. I'm afraid he heard some rumors and came here to plead for the Hu army. Why don't you let him come first? First, he can retreat, and second, he can be sold.
He’s a favor.”
"..."
Upon hearing this, Cao Pi already knew that Cao Chun was determined to give up. Without Cao Chun's support, it would be difficult for him to do anything even if he was unwilling, so he remained silent.
really.
Wang Qing got off his horse from afar and trotted all the way to the front. He didn't have time to wipe off the sweat on his temples, and he didn't even bother to take a breath before he hurriedly saluted and said: "I have seen Mr. Cao, I have seen General Cao, I have heard that Mr. Cao and General Cao
I led my people to Yongqiu early in the morning. My talented and wise brother asked me to help take care of Jiajuan and the army when I went out. So after hearing the news, I rushed to greet him, but what happened?"
"Supervisor Wang is overly worried. It's just a routine inspection. Nothing could happen."
Cao Chun smiled indifferently and replied without changing his expression.
As a result, the words were not finished.
"Click, click, click!..."
There were more rapid sounds of horse hooves.
Everyone turned around unconsciously, and Cao Chun's brows furrowed even more tightly. He turned around and said softly to Cao Pi: "Of the two people who came this time, there is no need to say more about Cheng Yu, the prefect of Chenliu.
Accompanying him is Zhu Lu from the Zhu family in Chenliu. This person was appointed by your father as Dian Nong Zhonglang General and is in charge of the entire farming affairs in Yanzhou. Thirty percent of our army's food and salary are provided by the Zhu family."
