Chapter 276 March!
Cao Xiu, Zhao Tong, and the three centurions were temporarily imprisoned by Cao Chong in a large tent, and the entire army had already begun to pack up their equipment.
Tiger, leopard rider, tiger, leopard rider, what is tiger, leopard rider?
First of all, it must be a cavalry!
In fact, there are more than 7,000 horses in three thousand tiger and leopard cavalry, and at least one tiger and leopard cavalry has two horses, and the auxiliary soldiers have reached the level of 3,000 people.
Most of these auxiliary soldiers took care of horses, and some were like kids. The important task of carrying mortars was naturally given to these auxiliary soldiers.
The tiger and leopard cavalry had three thousand people all the way. Under the leadership of Wang Ran and Cao Mao, they advanced by land first, while Cao Chong led the three thousand auxiliary soldiers to advance along the water route and avoid those muddy roads.
The autumn rain is drizzling, with a hint of coldness.
Cao Chong was wearing a white marten fur, and his hands were still so cold that he dared not come out.
The wind is cold and this autumn has already given you a little bit of winter style.
Cao Chong looked at the autumn scene and watched the boat go down the clear river, but his eyes were thinking about other things.
If Cao Cao had not had Cao Chong's gunpowder in the Battle of Red Cliff, Liu Bei would have been driven to Jiangxia County in Jiangzuo at this time, and the real failure of Cao Cao's war was due to the plague.
At this time, plague, also schistosomiasis, has already had several cases in the army.
Fortunately, Cao Chong suggested that Cao Cao bring more doctors to him before, so the condition is still under control, but Cao Chong knew that this situation would not last long.
Because schistosomiasis has an incubation period, some have more than ten days, some have only a few months, and some have more than ten years.
The Cao army has been here for a long time. The first batch of Cao army should be about to be in the outbreak of schistosomiasis infection. By then, tens of thousands of people will get sick, and no matter how many doctors and doctors are, it will not help.
Cao Chong had no choice but to pray that Zhang Liao's troops could listen to his words. In this way, there were still 50,000 troops to fight. As for Cao Cao's side, Cao Chong no longer had any hope. He went to ask Sima in the army the day before yesterday, but he knew that Cao Cao did not even give any superficial orders on drinking water, let alone strictly prohibited.
The tiger and leopard cavalry soldier has excellent physical fitness, so there is no example of getting sick, but Cao Chong knew that this is only temporary!
The real explosion period has not yet begun for this tiger and leopard cavalry.
Alas ~
Cao Chong sighed and shook his head suddenly. Now that this is not helpful, I should hurry up and fight quickly to avoid the outbreak of the war. The situation will be a bit corrupt. Even if Cao Chong is willing to do his best, he will be unable to turn things around.
The white emperor's colorful clouds are coming from the morning, and Jiangling returns thousands of miles a day!
Although it was not midsummer at this time, the water was still quite strong when the autumn rain continued. In just over an hour, Cao Chong and his group were sent to the predetermined location. Here, the three thousand tigers and leopard cavalry had not even arrived.
Cao Chong first asked someone to bring the things out. It would be impossible for the mortar to be drenched in the rain, but it was still wrapped in coarse cloth. Gunpowder products such as mortar shells and grenades were wrapped in five or six layers. Even if this kind of package was placed in the river, it would be impossible to immerse the gunpowder in it for less than a quarter of an hour.
After waiting for the scene of Sumeru, the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground in the distance gradually came to my ears. In a short while, the tiger and leopard cavalry had arrived in front of Cao Chong.
At this time, the tiger and leopard riders looked not good. The horses were basically covered in yellow mud, and the armor on some people turned yellow. On the other hand, Cao Chong was very clean.
Since he joined the army with the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, Cao Chong also issued an order to march.
The tiger and leopard cavalry did not need to slap the horse, but just walked slowly with the horse. They set off in the early morning. At night, Cao Chong and his group arrived at the Cao army's tent.
As soon as he entered the tent, someone had already come forward to arrange food and housing for these people, but Cao Chong was called into the tent of the central army by the commander.
At this time, there was no one else in the central army's tent, only Cao Cao who fought at night.
Although Cao Chong had no time to rest, the messenger gave Cao Chong time to change his clothes. Therefore, except that Cao Chong's hair was a little wet and his face was a little tired, it was impossible to tell that he had been marching in the rain for a whole day.
"Greetings to my father!"
At this time, there was no one in the tent, so Cao Chong naturally didn't need the princess to scream.
Seeing Cao Chong coming, Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips in his hand, and finally a little smile appeared on his face.
"Cang Shu, hurry up, come here!" Cao Chong moved his butt, leaving half a seat for Cao Chong, signaling Cao Chong to come forward to sit.
Cao Chong naturally refused to refuse such an intimate way and trotted and sat on it.
It was close to Cao Cao, and Cao Chong discovered the changes in Cao Cao. The biggest hero of the Three Kingdoms era had already grown a lot of white hair at this moment. Although Cao Chong had only been in this era for a few months, he still respected Cao Cao very much.
On the one hand, respect is naturally his achievements, and on the more important aspect is his care for Cao Chong, which is particularly important for Cao Chong.
Cao Chong was observing Cao Cao, but Cao Cao was also observing Cao Chong.
Compared with Cao Chong's changes a few months ago, it felt like it was a change that others had only experienced in years. First, Cao Chong's figure grew too fast. Before, Cao Cao could easily pick up Cao Chong, but now it is a bit difficult to pick him up. Secondly, Cao Chong's skin has become much darker and his body has become much stronger. Before, Cao Cao was always worried about Cao Chong's physical condition. At this time, when he saw Cao Chong who looked like this, the joy on his face was naturally beyond words.
"Yes, Kurashu is much stronger now, and I feel happy for my father!"
Seeing the joy of being embellished on Cao Cao's face, Cao Chong also smiled and said, "My father is also in his prime, and Cang Shu still has to learn more from his father's side!"
When he talked about himself, Cao Cao sighed deeply and said, "My father's body is not as good as before. He is old, and there are a few white hairs on his head!"
At this time, Cao Cao didn't want to kill someone without blinking. Instead, he was like an old father of an ordinary citizen, chatting with his favorite son.
Cao Chong did not resist. He talked a lot with Cao Cao about small things in the world, and even told a few jokes from later generations, which made Cao Cao so amused that he turned back and forth. Many generals and schools outside the door showed confusion on their faces. It should be noted that Cao Cao had looked like he was not allowed to enter a stranger before, but he punished many people, but this seventh prince Cao was really amazing. In less than a quarter of an hour, he made his lord smile.
He is worthy of being the lord’s favorite son!
Many generals and schoolmen's eyes flashed, wondering if they were going to make friends with Cao Chong.
If Cao Chong knew that he could gain the eyes of these generals with a few jokes, he might turn into a joker and tell Cao Cao every day, keeping Cao Cao for a few more years.
