Chapter 632 Cao Zhen Delivers Grain to Luo County (Continued)
When Lu Su heard this, he smiled and said to himself that Cao Ren is not that simple and good-looking, and in order not to owe him the favors he owes him, he would not open his mouth and say anything to him. ≧Otherwise, look at him in the past few days, although the military food and grass in Yanzhou are enough, it can only last for a few days now. What if Cao Zhen doesn't come? Or it comes later, what will Cao Ren do?
At this time, he said to Cao Ren: "It turns out that General Zidan has come over. I wonder if General Cao wants to go out to greet him?"
Lu Su gave Cao Ren a face. If Cao Zhen was like that, it was really impossible for Lu Su to welcome him. However, because he is now allied forces with the Yanzhou army, Lu Su's meaning is that as long as Cao Ren says, I will follow you with you in just one word. Cao Ren understands it, but he really won't let Lu Su go. Even if he is himself, he is not going to go. He just let Guo Huai take Kou Feng there, which is his representative.
After all, in terms of business, Cao Ren is the head coach, and Cao Zhen is considered a garrison in Xiangyang. In private, Cao Ren is Cao Zhen’s elder, and he is his uncle, so there is no problem if Cao Ren does not leave the camp.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Ren smiled at Lu Su at this time, and then said, "Mr. Zijing, Zidan is here, just let Boji and Kou Feng go out for a while. You and I still have Niu Jin, Wen Yuan, just wait for him in the big tent!"
Lu Su understood what Cao Ren meant when he heard this. In fact, it was unreasonable to think of him like this. After all, Cao Ren's status is there. You, Cao Zhen, are not only not as good as him in official positions, but also a junior, and have not made any great contributions for the time being. So he can't think that Cao Zixiao went out of the camp to greet him in person!
So Lu Su also smiled and said, "Okay, so let's follow General Cao!"
Everyone said this, what else can Lu Su say? After all, he is from his Yanzhou army, but not from his Jiangdong army. If he is from his own side, then Lu Su will naturally be able to make the decision and cannot leave the camp. However, it is impossible for Cao Ren to not leave the camp if he is from his own side. But he is not a joke.
Cao Ren nodded, and then said to Guo Huai and Kou Feng: "Boji, Kou Feng, you go out of the camp and welcome Zidan on my behalf!"
"No!" the two responded in unison.
-----------------------------------------------------
Since his commander spoke, they certainly would not turn a blind eye to him. So after he agreed, Guo Huai and Kou Feng said goodbye to Cao Ren and Lu Su, and withdrew from the tent. Go and ask for troops to welcome Cao Zhen. Of course, Cao Ren's meaning is that Guo Huai and Kou Feng are his representatives, and they will go out to the camp to welcome Cao Zhen on his behalf. It can be regarded as a kind of praise for him escorting food and grass to Luo County. Cao Ren's meaning is simple, that is, although I can't go out in person, Guo and Kou are the two of them.
It is true, Kou Feng didn't say anything. But Guo Huai is indeed. Cao Ren said that he could replace him, so he could replace him. Even if he had not joined the Yanzhou army for so long, even if Cao Zhen saw him, he would have to be polite. Who doesn't know that his lord valued Guo Huai, and if he didn't say anything else, he would just ask him to lead troops with Cao Ren. There is no need to say more. If he doesn't pay attention to him, why should he send him here?
The Yanzhou army may be short of food and grass, but it is definitely not a lack of talents, especially the people in the Yanzhou army. Who doesn’t know, so...
-----------------------------------------------------
Guo Huai and Kou Feng took the order and left, and with dozens of personal guards, they left the camp. Of course, because Cao Ren was at the west gate of Luo County, and Cao Zhen came from Xiangyang, and came from the west, they were all in the same direction, otherwise the Yanzhou army would not have discovered them at once.
Guo Huai and Kou Feng took the people for more than three miles, and finally met Cao Zhen's escorts of grain. Before Cao Zhen could speak, Guo Huai called out first, "The person is Cao Zhen, General Cao Zidan!"
When Cao Zhen heard it immediately, he quickly shouted: "It's Cao! Is General Guo Huai and Guo Boji on the opposite side?"
Guo Huai nodded, "Not bad! That's right! I'm here to welcome the general under the order of the general!"
As he said that, after a while, the two had already met. They had said hello before, but Kou Feng had not spoken yet. At this time, Guo Huai introduced: "The person next to him is Kou Feng who has just defected to our army!"
When Cao Zhen heard this, he thought to himself that he had to know each other. It turned out to be a newcomer! Then they treated each other with respect, and even if they met each other.
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Zhen asked at this time: "Since the general asked the two generals to come here, then let's go back to the camp?"
Guo Huai nodded when he heard this, "This is very true, General Cao asks you!"
"Please, please!"
As he said that the three of them walked side by side and took everyone back to the camp. In fact, Cao Ren's approach was as expected by Cao Zhen. He indeed knew his uncle. Speaking of which, he would definitely not come to greet him in person, unless he had any great contributions, that would be a different matter, but not, that would be the only way.
However, Cao Zhen was in a good mood for Guo Huai and Kou Feng to come. At least he knew and understood better that although his uncle did not come out in person, he sent two people as representatives, which would give him great face. It can also be said that this was actually because he escorted food and grass here, which made his uncle happy, so it was like this. Otherwise, Cao Zhen would also understand how much face his uncle could give him?
-----------------------------------------------------
Although they had to bribe food, they returned to the camp quite quickly, at least faster than before.
After arriving at the Yanzhou Army camp, Cao Zhen asked the soldiers to carry food and grass, and Guo Huai also asked the Yanzhou Army soldiers of the large camp to help. Everyone transported food and grass together. As for Cao Zhen, he followed Guo Huai and Kou Feng into Cao Ren's central army tent.
After entering the tent, Cao Zhen found that not only Cao Ren and Niu Jin were there, but there were two others in the tent. One didn't know him, and he dressed as a scholar, should be the commander of the Jiangdong Army, Lu Su Lu Zijing. The other one, who had seen him, was Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan who was under Lu Bu's tent.
After seeing a few people, Cao Zhen quickly saluted and said, "I've seen the general!"
Then Cao Zhen nodded to Lu Su, Zhang Liao and Niu Jin, which meant that he would say hello.
Cao Ren smiled at this time. He hadn't talked about food and grass yet, but he said, "Come on Zidan, let me introduce you to me. This is Lu Su Lu Zijing from Jiangdong, Mr. Zijing! Needless to say, you all recognize the other one, which is General Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Ren said this, of course Cao Zhen had to greet Lu Su and the others quickly, "I have met Mr. Zijing. General Zhang!"
The two of them quickly returned the favor, after all, there was no deep hatred. If this person took the initiative to say hello, you wouldn't be rude, right?
After seeing them, Cao Ren asked Cao Zhen to sit down. Cao Zhen hurriedly thanked him. Then Cao Ren said, "Thank you all the hard work in Zidan!"
Cao Zhen smiled. "It is our responsibility to do things together as the lord!"
Cao Ren nodded with a smile. "Okay, Zidan said it well. OK! I don't know what is happening in Xiangyang now?"
Cao Ren first asked about the situation in Xiangyang, but before Cao Zhen could speak, Lu Su and Zhang Liao and Cao Ren and others said goodbye. They didn't know yet, but they didn't know, they were here, and some of their own people might not be so easy to say. Just look at Cao Ren at this time, he had never asked about food and grass, which shows that. The situation like that last time obviously made Cao Ren be much more careful and also guard against him, Lu Su said sincerely.
-----------------------------------------------------
Isn't that? Since the last incident, Cao Ren has known that he is still a little careless. So when outsiders are present, he should not ask those more secret things. Of course, he is not afraid of Lu Su and the others know anything, but this is not a good thing after all.
Cao Ren saw Lu Su and the others stand up and say goodbye to him. He and Guo Huai and the others stood up quickly and heard him say, "This gentleman is leaving now? Let's sit down!"
Of course, this is a polite word. Cao Ren can't say, "You go, it's great." So Lu Su and both of them understand that he and Zhang Liao were indeed not prepared to stay in their central army tent."
So he said, "No, no, everyone, say goodbye!"
Cao Ren didn't say anything more, and could only say to the two of them: "I'll give you two!"
Lu Su smiled and said, "Stay, stay!"
-----------------------------------------------------
Cao Ren did not move anymore, but he still said, "Boji and Zidan gave me a gift!"
"promise!"
Cao Ren did not go out in person, but asked Guo Huai and Cao Zhen to replace him. After all, this kind of politeness must be given. If he couldn't say it, it would be fine, but he still had to send it on his behalf. This is indispensable.
Cao Zhen looked at the backs of several people and thought to himself that Lu Su and the others finally left, otherwise he would be really hard to ask Zidan what he would have. Cao Ren was indeed not afraid of anything, but he really didn't want to do it again for such careless and embarrassing things like last time. So this time he was very careful and could not let Lu Su and the others know anything. Isn't it embarrassing enough last time?
After a while, Guo Huai and Cao Zhen came back, and it was impossible for them to send Lu Su and the other two out of the camp, and then take a few steps, and say something, it would be fine. It would be fine if it was almost the same, and it would not be good if it was too much. So the two of them came back soon and sat down, waiting for Cao Ren to say something.
-----------------------------------------------------
At this time, Cao Zhen continued Cao Ren's previous question, "General, the situation in Xiangyang City is..."
Cao Zhen briefly told Cao Ren about the situation in Xiangyang, which was the ones he had escorted to the food and grass before. Cao Ren and the others listened and nodded. They still believed Zhu Zan and Cao Zhen. Maybe Zhu Zan was not so capable, but he and Cao Zhen combined, so they really couldn't underestimate it. So Cao Ren and the others really believed that the two could manage Xiangyang well. Their lord's vision of looking at people was still OK, so they believed Cao Cao.
Afterwards, Cao Ren asked, "I wonder how much food and grass Zidan brought with him this time?"
When Cao Zhen heard this, he thought that the question had reached the most critical point. He quickly said seriously: "Go back to the general, bring it this time..."
After hearing this, Cao Ren nodded. He was obviously satisfied, so he smiled and said, "Zi Dan is really raining in time. With such a batch of food and grass, at least in the past month, there will be no problem! Hahaha!"
Looking at Cao Ren, Guo Huai, Niu Jin and Kou Feng all laughed. Who doesn’t know that they are short of food? So...
-----------------------------------------------------
Later, Cao Zhen also asked Cao Ren about the current war in Luo County. In his previous impression, he did not have any expressions of overjoyment when he saw the few people. So after observing his expression, Cao Zhen felt that he was not fighting effectively. Of course, Lu Su and the others had no expressions, but the feeling he felt was almost the same.
When Cao Ren heard this, he sighed first, and then said to Cao Zhen: "Zi Dan doesn't know that our army is fighting in Luo County for more than three days, and he has not even boarded the city wall!"
When Cao Zhen heard this, he thought to himself that Gan Ning was really a "famous soldier"! So he said, "General, Gan Ning seems to be a strong enemy!"
