Even if the children of the gentry have the habit of rinsing their mouths and brushing their teeth with green salt and willow branches, in military life, there are often times when they may not have such free time. Sometimes they don’t have time to eat, and they still have time to brush their teeth after finishing their meals?

Therefore, it is common for tooth decay, gum recession, and loose roots.

If humans are really made by God or Nuwa, then the maker must be like the capitalists in later generations, who only seek no problems during the warranty period. It is best to have problems on the day after the warranty period, so that they can earn maintenance costs on the one hand and promote re-consumption on the other hand.

The same is true for human bodies. Many things are easily damaged outside the warranty period, and the key is that there are no parts to replace. Just like there are only four spare teeth, which are the last spare when they are in their twenties and thirties. After they exceed their age, there are no spares. Later generations have good living conditions, so wisdom teeth have become a trouble. In the current Han Dynasty, many poor people can use the teeth in the end, but instead they are wisdom teeth...

Cao Cao's teeth were actually not very good since the time of the rebellion.

Once the fire is on, the gums become inflamed, and the gums become inflamed will cause the gums to shrink, which will expose the roots of the teeth. After the roots are exposed, the entire teeth will be broken, and it will not be far away.

Now, it is better to say that Cao Cao is swallowing rather than saying that Cao Cao is eating.

I was anxious to get angry, my gums were swollen and painful, and every time I chewed it, it actually hurts.

This made Cao Cao feel a pain every time he had a meal.

But Cao Cao couldn't say that he wanted to take a leave and go to see a dentist...

There is not even a slight expression of pain!

After eating, or swallowing the meal.

Cao Cao rinsed his mouth and waved his hand to let the guard take down the plate.

When the guards left, Cao Cao lowered his head and showed some painful expression.

He is older and physically worse than before.

When he was in Heluo, Cao Cao could stay up all night and be energetic. There was no problem in running around day and night, but now he can't do it...

Even if he wants to do this, he is powerless.

My muscles and bones are loose, and I can’t even sleep well. When it’s rainy, my shoulders and neck are sore.

There was a sound of footsteps outside the tent, and the guard reported, "The third young master is here..."

"Enter!"

The painful expression on Cao Cao's face disappeared and he returned to his calm and majestic appearance.

Cao Zhang lowered his head and walked in, "Greetings to my father."

"Raise your head!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

Cao Cao knew why Cao Zhang bowed his head.

The Tongguan camp has collapsed, and Yanxiang cannot be as strong as the Tongguan New City of the Cavalry. Falling is also a matter of close proximity. Therefore, as the chief general of the Tongguan camp, Cao Zhang felt that it was normal to have no shame to see Cao Cao.

Cao Zhang was originally looking down with a dirt face, but when Cao Cao shouted, he had to raise his head and greet Cao Cao again.

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Sit."

Cao Zhang reported to Cao Cao all the time about the war in Tongguan these days.

Although Cao Cao had known about the war in Tongguan through the war report, he still listened very seriously now and asked some questions from time to time.

Cao Zhang also answered it one by one.

In the Battle of Tongguan, the biggest shortcomings of Cao's army were not on the soldiers, but on the war equipment.

This was just like during the first battle, when the defenders who were originally fighting in the trench suddenly saw the tanks driving to their faces, and the helpless collapse became a necessity. The trench that was originally dug out, the positions that were held, the wire mesh that were pulled out, and the minefields arranged were easily broken through by several tanks.

Even if the tanks at that time did not even have artillery, they could only be considered as steel plates and machine guns installed on the tractor chassis, which were not resisted by these soldiers without armor-breaking weapons.

When the Cavalry Army counterattacked the Tongguan Camp, the various forms of weapons, artillery, fire cabinets, rockets, etc. presented were all new weapons that Cao Cao had never thought of before, and they were new weapons that people from Shandong had never seen before. They were really like being crushed by tanks on their faces.

It is very difficult for Tongguan Daxing to fight until now.

First, many traps were set up in the early stage, and second, the cooperation between Cao Zhang and Liu Fu was quite good. They retreated little by little by little without a large-scale defeat.

Of course, the Cavalry Army also used these firearms during the study period and was not proficient, which finally led to the current situation.

After listening to Cao Zhang's report, Cao Cao thought for a long time before slowly saying: "Zhang'er, can you tell me what was my father's ambition?"

Cao Zhangran said: "My father's ambition must be to support the country and control the world!"

Cao Cao smiled and waved his hand, "The initial ambition for his father is just to be a good county magistrate..."

"Ah? County, County Magistrate?" Cao Zhang was a little stuck when he heard this.

Cao Cao nodded, "Later, I wanted to be the general of the Western Expedition... Well, that's right, it was the Western Expedition before the Western Expedition... At that time, my father thought that the Han Dynasty was in chaos and incompetent, so it would be better to go to Longxi to quell the Qiang Rebellion and protect the border for the Han Dynasty..."

Cao Zhang was stunned. He didn't know why Cao Cao wanted to tell him this.

Cao Cao raised his head slightly, as if he was recalling something, "Whether he was a county magistrate or a general in the west, it seemed like he had changed his ambitions, but in fact it was still the same... he wanted to do something for this great man... he really did something, instead of holding a few books and talking big at the cocktail party... This is what the gentry and ministers should do... The cavalry once said a sentence, saying that he was a scholar and was Hongyi... I think he was really saying this well..."

"Ah?" Cao Zhang was a little confused.

『He said...you see, he has done it now...and he has done it well..." Cao Cao smiled, 『Although we are opponents with them, we cannot deny everything they have done just because they are opponents... You see their gunpowder and firearms now... we should really think carefully about how to deal with it... we can't talk about any tricks anymore...

Cao Zhang nodded, "What my father said is. These firearms are indeed powerful."

Perhaps because of something that Cao Zhang couldn't help but burst into pieces.

Cao Cao saw it, stood up and walked to Cao Zhang.

Cao Zhang also stood up quickly.

"Zhang'er, success or failure is nothing, it's not the time to make a final decision!" Cao Cao patted Cao Zhang on the shoulder, "You still have to bear the ambition of being a father in the future!"

Cao Zhang's eyes suddenly turned red and lowered his head, saying, "Child, the child will definitely live up to his father's expectations!"

Cao Cao smiled and was about to say something, suddenly there were footsteps coming in a hurry.

"Prime Minister! Zhongtiaoshan Camp urgently reported!"

『Submit!』

Cao Cao couldn't care what to say to Cao Zhang, so he turned around and returned to the table and sat down, and then took out Zhongtiaoshan's urgent report in the light of the oil lamp.

The oil lamp flashed, and Cao Cao squinted his eyes and looked a little hard.

Cao Zhang hurried forward, pulled up some of the wicks of the oil lamp with small scissors, and then cut the burnt small piece short.

The lights are a little brighter.
