The autumn rain continued, and the heavy rain gradually turned into a light drizzle.
Although the rain was not heavy, it never stopped.
When Wang Can led his troops to Cao Cao's camp yesterday, he said that he would lead his troops to fight Cao Cao today.
However, a heavy rain delayed everything.
Cao Cao's soldiers rushed to make the knife cart overnight and completed it as scheduled.
Due to the heavy rain, the decisive battle between Cao Cao and Wang Can was delayed.
If Cao Cao wanted to defeat Wang Can, he could only wait for the heavy rain to stop before fighting again.
Cao Ying, the main tent of the Chinese army.
Cao Cao sat in the camp, full of ambition and passionate in his heart.
He sat in a daze, imagining in his mind the soldiers under his command pushing the sword carts onto the battlefield, and when the shining silver steel swords pierced the king's What a wonderful scene that would be in Chan’s body of a soldier.
A big victory, Cao Cao needed a big victory so much.
Defeat Wang Can and gain victory.
Cao Cao listened to the gurgling rain outside the camp, hoping that the weather would clear up soon so he could fight Wang Can.
"Huhu" Suddenly, a cold wind blew into the tent, making Cao Cao shiver.
He looked up and saw the camp door curtain opened, and a strong general walked in.
This man is about twenty-eight or nineteen years old, with a thin cheek and sharp edges, like a knife and an axe.
He has two thick beards on his thin lips and three short strands of beard under his chin.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks very heroic. people.
After the general entered the camp, he bowed to Cao Cao and said, "Cao Hong pays homage to my lord."
This person is Cao Hong, Cao Cao's general.
Cao Cao nodded, waved his hand for Cao Hong to sit down, and immediately asked: "Zilian, it's almost dark.
Do you want to come to my tent?"
Cao Cao valued Cao Hong very much.
Among the generals in Cao Ying, or the entire Cao family, Cao Hong was famous for being greedy and stingy.
His family was extremely wealthy, but he never spent any money to help poor people or lend it to others.
Not only that, Cao Hong also made money wantonly and kept putting money into his pocket.
Such a person was highly valued by Cao Cao, and Cao Hong's position was even more stable than that of Cao Ren.
One of the reasons is that Cao Hong once saved Cao Cao's life, which was a major reason why Cao Cao valued Cao Hong.
On the other hand, it is because Cao Hong has obvious shortcomings.
These shortcomings do not affect Cao Hong's fighting.
This is exactly what Cao Cao needs.
A person with shortcomings is easy to control, which makes Cao Cao relieved.
The lord is not worried about the shortcomings of his ministers, but about perfect people.
It is difficult for such a person to reassure the Lord.
Cao Hong has great shortcomings and is often criticized and reviled in private.
However, Cao Hong is loyal and can risk his own life to protect Cao Cao's safety.
This is what Cao Cao wants to see most.
Cao Hong lifted up his robe and sat down, then clasped his fists and said, "My lord, a few days ago a scout conveyed the news that Zixiao was coming with supplies.
Calculating the time, we should arrive at the camp today.
Even if it is blocked by heavy rain, we will not arrive."
We haven't arrived yet.
"Cao Hong loves money and is stingy, but he is also a wise general under Cao Cao, brave and resourceful.
Cao Cao said: "The heavy rain is pouring, and it is reasonable for Zixiao to be delayed."
Cao Hong shook his head and said: "My lord, Zixiao never delays his work and will never stop because of heavy rain.
Please send soldiers to investigate the news to avoid problems."

After hearing this, Cao Cao sat upright suddenly, and a cold light flashed in his narrow eyes.
Food and grass are his foundation.
If there is a problem with food and grass, he will be in trouble immediately.
Cao Ren was meticulous in his work, so Cao Cao could let Cao Ren keep the grain.
But after hearing Cao Hong's words, Cao Cao felt a thump in his heart and had a bad premonition.
Cao Cao immediately shouted: "Come here!"
After the words fell, a soldier walked in quickly, clasped his fists and said: "General, what are your orders?"
Cao Cao ordered loudly: "Immediately send scouts to find out whether the grain and fodder have been delayed due to heavy rain.
Go and return as soon as possible."
Because the news of the grain and fodder escorted by Cao Ren had been conveyed to the camp a few days ago, Cao Cao could be sure that the grain and fodder escorted by Cao Ren was not far from the camp.
It wouldn't take long for the scouts to find out the news.
"promise" The soldier replied and turned around to convey Cao Cao's order.
Only Cao Hong and Cao Cao were left in the big tent.
At this time, both Cao Cao and Cao Hong were restless and worried about the problem of food and grass.
Cao Cao took a volume of letters and read them for a while, but he couldn't calm down and had no intention of reading.
"tread" Not long after, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the camp.
When Cao Cao and Cao Hong heard this, they immediately cheered up.
After the camp door curtain was opened, the person who came in was not a scout to find out the news, but Cao Cao's military advisor Xi Zhicai.
After he walked in, he took off the raincoat and bamboo hat he was wearing, shook off the water stains on his body, cupped his fists and said : "Xi Zhicai pays homage to his lord" Cao Cao waved his hand and asked: "Zhicai, what can I do?"
Xi Zhicai said: "My lord, there are only less than ten days of food left in the army.
The food and fodder escorted by General Zixiao should arrive today.
It is already late, but there is no news yet.
Please send someone to find out the news." " At this point, things came together.
Cao Ren couldn't arrive yesterday, so Xi Zhicai and others didn't take it to heart.
By now, the grain and fodder escorted by Cao Ren should have arrived at the camp, but they did not arrive on time.
This attracted Xi Zhicai's attention and immediately came to discuss with Cao Cao.
"well" After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Zi Lian is here for this matter too.
I have sent soldiers to investigate the news.
News will come soon."
In the big tent, three grown men quietly waited for the news.
Time passed and it became completely dark.
At this time, it had been two hours since Cao Cao sent soldiers to inquire about the news.
The dim oil lamps had been lit in the camp, and the camp was silent except for the sound of light rain.
Cao Cao, Cao Hong and Xi Zhicai were all a little bit unable to sit still.
There was no news yet.
There was probably a problem, otherwise this situation would not have happened.
However, Cao Cao felt a lot more at ease when he thought that it was Cao Ren who was escorting the grain and grass, and the grain road was behind the camp.
Cao Ren was careful and there would definitely be no problems.
Just as Cao Cao was secretly cheering himself up, footsteps sounded outside the camp.
Not long after, a scout who was looking for news came in.
Cao Cao said: "No need to be polite, just tell me the news."
The scout clasped his fists and said, "General, there is nothing happening on the official road.
There is no trace of General Cao Ren, nor any trace of food and grass."
When Cao Cao heard this, he stood up and asked, "Are you sure?"
The scout nodded and said: "I rode my horse in the heavy rain and ran quickly after leaving the camp.

I checked carefully and found no trace of General Cao Ren.
If General Cao Ren came with food, he would definitely encounter him.
It's impossible."
I’ve been running around for a few hours and haven’t encountered him yet.”
Cao Cao waved his hand and sent the scouts away.
"Bang" Cao Cao sat down with an angry look on his face and said: "It's Wang Can, it must be Wang Can.
This thief is cunning.
When he attacked Dong Zhuo in the past, he burned Dong Zhuo's grain in Hulao Pass. , now we are repeating our old tricks and cutting off our army’s food supply for three months, what should we do?”
After a pause, Cao Cao continued: "Not only that, there is no news about Zixiao.
He must have been captured by Wang Can or killed by Wang Can.
Huh, I was wondering why Wang Can suddenly led his troops to fight yesterday.
It turned out to be for Attract our attention so that his soldiers can sneak into the rear and steal food.
He is treacherous.
This thief is treacherous."
Cao Cao yelled, but Wang Can was furious.
This situation caught Cao Cao off guard. s: The second update of the fourth update, please collect and send flowers
