Chapter 1272 I won't tell you if I see it through
Ma Teng noticed something was wrong, and Han Sui was also stunned.
Looking at Ma Teng, he blinked his eyes twice and said in surprise: "Bad things, we were both imprisoned by Cao Zimeng."
"What does General Han mean?" Ma Teng asked: "What did Cao Zirong destroy us?"
"What else can it be?" Han Sui said: "He instigated us to fight against the Huns with him."
"With him fighting against the Huns, wasn't General Han proposed?" Ma Teng asked, "Why were you just being cheated?"
"Shoucheng asked just now, we were saying goodbye to Cao Zirong, why did we go to Hetao with him for no reason?" Han Sui said: "Actually, when we went to Xudu at this time, Cao Mengde would not do anything to us. At most, we would not let the army enter Xudu. Since we were harmless, Cao Mengde would not do anything to us. But when Cao Zirong said that just now, we felt a little guilty and inexplicably agreed to go to war with him."
"I said something was wrong." Ma Teng shook his head and said, "Cao Zirong's scheming is very inconsistent with his age."
"I didn't expect that we were teased by him, a child who was a yellow-mouthed person, for many years." Han Sui smiled and said, "But it is precisely because of this that I have a little more favorable impression of him."
"He has all been deceived by us to Hetao. Why did General Han say he has a little more favorable impression of him?" Ma Teng asked in confusion.
"Now it is a chaotic world. Even if you and me are sometimes doing things by any means." Han Sui said: "Cao Zirong just did what he should do, let alone promised to give you and me some benefits."
"General Han thought he would give us what benefits?" Ma Teng asked.
"Your Majesty is in Xudu now. For the Cao family, it is easy to reward a few generals." Han Sui said: "We helped Cao Zirong, how could he not give us a reasonable official title wholeheartedly?"
Ma Teng felt a little unhappy when he realized that it was because Cao Shu had been fooled.
But when Han Sui said this, he felt calm.
Cao Shu was not here, and even if they went to Xudu, they would have to wait for some time before they could be summoned by His Majesty today.
It would be better to follow Cao Shu to Hetao and make more contributions, and then ask the court for benefits.
On the way back to the military camp, Ma Teng and Han Sui realized that they were fooled by Cao Shu.
Cao Shu was sitting in the handsome tent at this time, looking at a map placed on the table.
The map is exactly the style of the Hetao area. Looking at the map, Cao Shu found that there was a flat place and even the village was not marked.
He was looking at the map and wanted to analyze some useful things from it. Tian Feng's voice came from Zhang Waidi: "Young Master is looking for me?"
After Ma Teng and Han Sui left, Cao Shu immediately asked Cai Ji to invite Tian Feng.
Hearing Tian Feng's voice, Cao Shu said, "Yuan Hao comes in and speaks."
Tian Feng lifted the curtain and walked in.
He bowed to Cao Shu again and asked, "Young Master is looking for me, are there any important matters to discuss?"
"Ma Teng and Han Sui came just now. Have you heard of it?" Cao Shuo asked Tian Feng.
Tian Feng replied: "When they left, I happened to see my back."
"The two have agreed to go with me to Hetao." Cao Shuo said: "What we have to do now is wait for the army to arrive."
"This time, the young master used almost all the power of Huainan to attack the Huns. We can't afford to lose at all!" Tian Feng said: "If you can bring the Xiliang army, of course, you will have more chances of winning."
"Our army is 80,000, and the Xiliang army is 20,000." Cao Shuo said: "To count it, there are a total of 100,000 troops. With the accompanying civilians of two teams, this team has as many as 300,000 people."
"Three hundred thousand people are equivalent to Meng Tian's attack on the Huns back then." Tian Feng said: "This time the young master went to Hetao and he would definitely win the championship."
"I want you to come, not to praise me." Cao Shuo said: "I want to discuss the route of troops with you, and then figure out how to arrange the Xiliang army."
"Young Master, why did you ask Ma Teng and Han Sui to agree to the Xiliang army to accompany you?" Tian Feng asked.
After sending Ma Teng and Han Sui away, Cao Shuo certainly remembered what he said to the two of them, so he repeated what he said to Ma Teng and Han Sui just now to Tian Feng.
After listening to Cao Shuo’s story, Tian Feng smiled slightly: “It seems that the two of them have already understood that they were fooled by the young master.”
"I think they should understand, too." Cao Shuo grinned: "If I was so stupid that I even had such an obvious trick and was complacent afterwards, I would no longer expect them to make any achievements in Hetao."
"Since the young master knows that they can see through it, why do you still say that to them?" Tian Feng asked in confusion.
"I concluded that even if they saw through it, they would never say it, and would not regret it, so they said this to them." Cao Shu said: "As long as the two of them agreed to go to the Huns with me, they would be tied to the same warship as me. It would probably be too late to get off the ship at this time."
Tian Feng didn't say anything, but just looked at Cao Shu silently.
In Tian Feng's opinion, the explanation given by Cao Shu cannot be regarded as a reason at all. There must be a deeper reason for his actions.
Sure enough, Tian Feng was looking at him, and Cao Shu asked, "Can you not understand Yuan Hao?"
"I figured it out a little." Tian Feng replied: "I just haven't thought it very clearly yet. Please help Yue solve the problem."
"They have promised me that if they regret it again, they will offend me." Cao Shu said: "Although I am not my father, I am the eldest son of the Cao family. I still have some weight in speaking in front of my father. At least when I have made a contribution, the two of them said that they will not be enemies with me. They have been guarding Xiliang for many years, but what they lack is not soldiers, nor any wealth, food and grass. What they really want is the official position that His Majesty himself enthroned. By now, they have already obtained half of the official position, so how can they easily abandon it? Moreover, I have given them some new benefits just now."
"When you return from Hetao, the two of them may have been the most powerful ministers." Tian Feng asked with a smile: "Young Master just talked about the route of sending troops. I wonder if you have any detailed plans?"
"I'm asking you to come, isn't it just to ask you which road to enter Hetao?" Pointing to the map, Cao Shu said: "I have been checking the map for a long time, but I found that the Hetao area is flat. If our army walked in, let alone looking for the royal court of the Huns, it would be very difficult to record the roads that had been taken."
"The Huns are different from us." Tian Feng replied: "The Huns have no villages at all. Wherever they have abundant water and grass, they drive cattle, sheep and horses to wherever they go. With a map, the young master was afraid that it would be impossible to think of a route to march."
