Three Kingdoms: Cao Chong's will, in fact, my eldest brother is not dead!

Chapter 104
Cao Ang brought Cai Mao back, but he knelt down on the ground with a plop.

"Eldest son, the last general... is he doomed to die?"

"Why are you panicking, get up, the matter will pass in a few days."

Cai Mao refused to get up, Cao Ang shook his head again, "I said I would protect you, so you won't die, at least you won't die at the hands of your own people, don't you believe me?"

"No, no, the eldest son wants to save me!"

"Don't worry, there is a time for you to make meritorious deeds."

Cai Mao is not really afraid of death, but is afraid of dying with a stigma. In this way, his family will also suffer.

Joining the army in troubled times, you can't get this position if you don't have the awareness of death, but the general's death in front of the battle and execution as a ghost are obviously not the same concept. Who doesn't want to support a family?

He got up tremblingly, and said in a low voice: "I did not seek refuge in Jiangdong, Eldest Young Master, how about I go to the Prime Minister to distinguish right from wrong?"

"You know what a fart!"

Cao Ang scolded, "I have a bad appetite these days, see if you can get some fish in winter, remember, don't appear in front of the prime minister these days!"

Being assigned an inexplicable task, Cai Mao was a little confused, didn't he want to interrogate?
As a result, Cao Ang directly threw him out again, as if this had never happened, and sent Cai Mao to go fishing.

Just kidding, go to Cao Cao to distinguish right from wrong at this time?

Cao Cao probably already knew that he was impulsive, but he couldn't admit it, just walk around him.

At this time, he was still thinking of going to Cao Cao, and he absolutely did not hesitate to take Cai Mao's head.

Since Cao Ang took the person over, Cao Cao tacitly accepted that the matter was over. As long as no one mentioned it afterwards, the matter of Cao Cao being plotted by Zhou Yu would gradually be forgotten, and it would always be a step down.

Cai Mao was kicked out by Cao Ang, but he finally felt relieved.

At least from Cao Ang's attitude, it can be seen that he is safe now.

Cai Mao just went out here, and another guard came to report outside, and Yuan Li asked to see him.

Cao Ang let people in, and Yuan Li immediately knelt down and said, "My lord, I'm afraid I can't complete the task of building a thousand crossbows you asked for, so I beg you to spare me!"

"What are you doing? You didn't want to kill you if you couldn't finish it, did you?"

This person probably doesn't understand Cao Ang's style very well. Cao Ang is not a person who ignores the age of life.

Cao Ang asked again: "Then what went wrong this time, and what parts are broken?"

"That's not true, it's just... the rest is easy to talk about, we all can finish it in a hurry, but the arrow..."

"There is no arrow, so why didn't you say it beforehand?"

"There was a ship from Jiangling before, but now..."

It turned out to be like this, before Cao Ang managed the Wulin camp, but now that Cao Cao has come in person, Cao Ang will no longer be in charge of all supplies, and the iron ingots used as arrows cannot be handled.

There is no problem with the crossbow itself, and Wulin also has a suitable wood. If it doesn't work, change the bow.

But arrows are consumables. Even if you only need to build a thousand crossbows, there will be countless arrows for consumption.

"The question about the arrow...it's easy to handle. Let me ask you, can the bow and arrow be used directly?"

"If there is, it is possible, but we don't have many bows and arrows."

"No problem, you leave this to me, and I'll get the arrow."

Cao Ang is full of confidence, if this can't be solved, how can the Three Kingdoms be mixed up, really.

He asked the original force to go back and build all the crossbows first, and then went to meet Cao Cao himself.

……

Cao Cao was discussing things with Cheng Yu, when the guards notified Cao Ang to see him, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, this kid doesn't know how to behave, he rescued Cai Mao, and then he came to reason with his father?
If this is the case, it would be too unwise to do things.

Although it was annoying, Cao Cao still wanted to know why Cao Ang came and see how his son behaved.

Immediately, someone brought Cao Ang to the military tent, and Cheng Yu temporarily stood aside and watched.

Because he did something stupid before and almost killed the two generals who were really familiar with the navy, so Cao Cao felt that it would be better to have someone beside him to remind him.

But the relationship between Cheng Yu and Cao Cao is extraordinary, so he is naturally different from others.

"What's the matter with my son?"

"Father, my son is here to transfer the ship to my father."

Cao Cao was stunned: "What, why do you need a boat at this time? This river is in front of the two armies. What do you want to do? Didn't you let you focus on building the camp? If you don't build it well, those under my command have conquered the entire Central Plains The warrior is about to fall ill!"

Although the boats were connected together, it seemed that there was still no land, and Cao Cao was also very anxious.

Otherwise, it would have been fought a long time ago. This water battle is indeed extraordinary. It is unrealistic to expect the Northern Army's water battle. On the river, the Jiangdong Navy is now stronger than Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's troops.

Now, you know how important these two navy captains are.

Cao Ang said calmly, "Father, all you need is a small clipper boat, about twenty."

"Say, why do you need a boat?"

"Go and borrow arrows from Soochow!"

That's right, the stems of arrows borrowed from straw boats were used.

Unlike Zhuge Liang, it is impossible for Cao Ang to pretend to be mysterious to his father, and the nagging Cao Cao doesn't like this.

Then you have to make it clear from the beginning, otherwise you will be coaxed out, and Cao Cao will still not be happy when you turn back and bring back the arrow.

No matter what you do now, Cao Ang can't think about other things, and the first consideration is Cao Cao's feelings. No matter how much you win, as long as Cao Cao is unhappy, you will lose. Do you dare to play against Cao Cao?

No matter how strong he is, Cao Ang can't fight Cao Cao, otherwise he will be infamous forever.

Looking at it from another angle, as long as Cao Cao is happy, no matter how much you fail, you will be the ultimate winner...

"You borrowed arrows...is this borrowed?"

Cao Cao lost his mind, "No, what do you need arrows for?"

Cao Ang said calmly: "The previous battles with Soochow caused too much loss. Now that the camp is under construction, I'm afraid that someone from Soochow will come to steal the camp again, so be prepared."

borrow?
Cao Cao still doesn't quite understand what Cao Ang said. It's reasonable to need arrows, but won't you ask your father for it?
But at the same time, Cao Ang's statement aroused Cao Cao's curiosity.

"What kind of excuse, are you trying to persuade people from Jiangdong to surrender?"

"No...Father, can you allow me to hold back and talk about it when I come back?"

Cao Ang also deliberately skinned it, which is harmless, and it would be too boring to say something.

The main reason why he used this trick was not because he was short of arrows, but because he wanted to show it off in front of Cao Cao.

Why do you want to show this?
That's not because Cao Ang was born with a love for show, but after he used this trick, Zhuge Liang couldn't use it anymore, which prevented Cao Cao from suffering from this loss from the source!

So this is the best way, not to persuade Cao Cao, but to use this trick personally to let Cao Cao know how to take precautions.

"Okay, let's see how my son is going to borrow it. Zhongde, you and Zixiu go and have a look."
