Cao Ang looked at Cao Hong unwillingly.

Cao Hong hesitated for a moment, then said softly,

"Prime Minister, after all, Wang Hou is a food officer in the army, so there is still an explanation for this matter."

Of course Cao Cao understood that if Wang Hou was beheaded, he would not give everyone an explanation.

In the future, the discipline of the barracks will only become more and more corrupt.

"Cao Mao, what excuse do you have for killing Wang Hou?"

Cao Cao's tone has softened a lot.

"Reporting to father, the reason why I beheaded Wang Hou was because he made things difficult for our army and humiliated my soldiers first."

Cao Mao was neither humble nor overbearing, and he told the whole story about Wang Hou making things difficult for Gouzi and others.

By the time he finished speaking, most of the people had believed him.

"If it's according to what you said, it's justifiable."

Cao Cao touched his chin and said.

From his expression, Guo Jia judged that he did not want to severely punish Cao Mao, so he took the initiative to say,

"Cao Mao's nephew loves soldiers like a son, coupled with his youthful vigor, he will inevitably be impulsive. The prime minister only needs to punish him lightly."

"What the military division said is good."

"Young people are bound to be a little bit arrogant."

Everyone also opened their mouths one after another, pleading for Cao Mao.

Cao Ang was simply annoyed.

How can these people turn faces faster than turning books?
If Cao Mao were to be let go like this, he would not be reconciled.

"Father, if you refuse to deal with it fairly, I'm afraid the soldiers will not accept it!"

Cao Ang said quickly.

Cao Cao frowned, his eyes filled with displeasure.

The other generals were also somewhat dissatisfied.

Cao Mao offered three treasures, which greatly improved the combat effectiveness of his own army.

Coupled with the beheading of Zhang Xiu a few days ago, his talent has been revealed.

How can everyone be dissatisfied?
If you are really dissatisfied, I am afraid that you, Cao Ang, are the only one.

At this moment, there was a commotion not far away.

Groups of tiger and leopard knights rushed over one after another.

"Protect the Prime Minister!"

"Prime Minister, step back!"

Seeing this posture, everyone present was startled.

They thought that the three thousand Qingzhou soldiers were going to mutiny.

Before everyone could react, the tiger and leopard knights came to the gate of the camp and knelt down to Cao Cao!
"Plop", "Puff", "Puff"!
3000 people kneel down in unison, this scene is really shocking!
Cao Cao collected himself, stepped forward and said in a deep voice,

"Do you want to rebel?"

The dog who took the lead boldly raised his head and said,
"Reporting to my lord, we are here to intercede for the general!"

Everyone was stunned.

They didn't expect that these three thousand soldiers were so mobilizing to mobilize the crowd, they actually wanted to intercede for Cao Mao.

Cao Cao glanced at Cao Mao and said with great interest,

"Oh? Why do you want to intercede for him?"

"The general loves us a lot on weekdays, eats and trains together. It is even for us that he beheaded the warehouse officer in a rage.

If the prime minister refuses to spare the general, let us punish him together! "

After Gouzi finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to Cao Cao!

Others followed suit!

The huge camp was completely silent for a while.

No one expected that it took only a short time for Cao Mao to reap the loyalty of the scattered and rebellious Qingzhou soldiers in the past.

"The military spirit is available, the military spirit is available!"

Guo Jia couldn't help but sighed, and bowed his hands to Cao Cao,
"I hope the prime minister will forgive Mr. Cao Mao in front of these three thousand soldiers."

"Yes, Prime Minister."

"It's rare for so many soldiers to plead for Mr. Cao Mao."

Others also opened their mouths one after another, speaking for Cao Mao.

In fact, without their intercession, the anger in Cao Cao's heart had already dissipated.

With the three treasures presented by Cao Mao alone, even if he killed two more warehouse officials, Cao Cao would not hold him accountable!
Moreover, another [-] soldiers took the initiative to intercede for Cao Mao, willing to be punished together.

If Cao Cao still insisted on punishing Cao Mao, he would be out of his mind.

"Mao'er, you killed Wang Hou, you can be said to be treasonous!
But you offered these three treasures, and there are so many soldiers pleading for you, as a father, I will forgive your sins. "

Cao Cao said calmly,

"However, capital crimes can be escaped, but living crimes are hard to forgive.

In addition to being responsible for the training of [-] soldiers, you are also responsible for the duties of Wang Hou, the warehouse officer, and taking care of the dispatch of food and grass in the army. "

"Obey, father!"

Cao Mao cupped his hands.

Cao Ang and Cao Hong almost suspected that their ears had misheard.

The dispatch of food and grass in the army is extremely important, and it is related to the combat effectiveness of each army!

Before Xia Houyuan and others dealt with Wang Hou, they had to be polite.

What kind of punishment is this? It simply increases Cao Mao's power!
In setting up a situation with Cao Hong today, I originally thought that Cao Cao would severely punish Cao Mao.

But it never occurred to him that Cao Mao would make a big splash, and even gained the favor of all the soldiers!

Looking at Cao Mao, surrounded by Xia Houyuan and others, who looks like a star,

Cao Ang clenched his teeth, his face livid.

After Cao Cao and his party left, Jia Xu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Young master, my subordinates... really admire you."

Cao Mao beheaded Wang Ge Liwei, not only no one would dare to despise him anymore, but also won the loyalty of the tiger and leopard knights.

Later, three treasures including stirrups, saddles, and horseshoes were presented, which won the favor of Cao Cao and the generals.

This is simply killing three birds with one stone.

Cao Mao just smiled lightly.

Jia Xu couldn't help sighing in his heart, honor and disgrace are not surprising, the son's realm is indeed brilliant!

……

"Cao Mao, you dare to slap me in the face in front of so many people. You are an idiot."

Cao Cao returned to the tent, pretending to be angry and authentic.

Guo Jia on the side slandered inwardly,
Prime Minister, don't you feel against your will when you say this?
Your face is almost wrinkled from laughter.

"Congratulations, prime minister, for having such an outstanding son."

Guo Jia said with a smile all over his face.

"After all, it is my old Cao's seed, Mao'er still has a bit of my youthful demeanor."

Cao Cao boasted without any shame.

"However, Prime Minister, you asked Mr. Cao Mao to be in charge of dispatching food and grass, isn't it a little too hasty?"

Guo Jia said softly.

Cao Cao nodded approvingly.

Food and grass dispatching has a lot to do with it, and if you don't have experience in this area, it's easy to screw things up.

At that time, Cao Mao will be held accountable, not to mention, it may affect the combat effectiveness and morale of the army.

He twirled his chin beard and thought for a moment,

"What you said is somewhat reasonable, then you will send a few literati to help him take care of this matter."

"Prime Minister, I suggest that we help Mr. Cao Mao in a few days."

"Why is this?"

Cao Cao said strangely.

"Mr. Cao Mao is too sharp, let him hang out for a few days to rub his spirit."

Guo Jia laughed.

Cao Cao was startled, then nodded and said,
"You're right."

……

After pacifying Zhangxiu in Wancheng, Cao Cao decided to lead his army back to Xudu.

After discussing the military affairs with all the soldiers, he found Guo Jia.

"Feng Xiao, today is the third day, it's time to visit Mao'er."

Guo Jia nodded,
"That's right, if we continue to delay, I'm afraid there will be trouble."

The two immediately set off and headed for the granary.
