Chapter 577 Cao Cao's Sixth Son and Cao Cao! Giving an Elephant to Chong'er!
Cao Jun's Camp
Apart from Zhang He and Pang De's troops, the other troops in Cao Cao's camp also gradually entered a logging mode after heading south.
Watching the large number of trees being transported away, Commander Su nodded with considerable satisfaction.
He didn't want to become a timber tycoon; he was simply working hard for the infrastructure project.
For example, the main buildings of the Minister's Mansion, apart from the small, dilapidated door that Xu Chu always manages to break, have not been renovated for several years.
If Su Yu has something good to say, he will definitely think of Xun Yu.
Go back and renovate the Minister's residence from the inside out, so that the talented people can enjoy the relaxation and happiness brought by the beautiful surrounding environment after work.
As for the price, it will be calculated at 100 times.
Lifting the curtain of the command tent, Su Yu saw Cao Cao with a beaming smile, holding a leather letter in his hand.
Letters written on cowhide are not something ordinary people can afford; cows are precious, and cowhide is rare.
Therefore, this letter must be a family letter from the Sikong Mansion.
"My lord, which lady wrote you this letter? She seems so pleased."
In response to Su Yu's teasing, Cao Cao coughed and said:
"What is Ziyi saying? I, Cao, have no intention of establishing Xujia Village in Nanzhong."
Su Yu: "???"
"Yes, my lord, you have reminded me. I will instruct Xu Chu to prepare for this matter later."
Cao Cao's smile deepened, and he held the letter up to Su Yu, waving it around:
"Ziyi, look! My son, Chong'er, is already exceptionally intelligent at such a young age!"
Su Yu then remembered that Cao Chong was already seven years old.
He was actually about the same age as Cao Zhi, only a year or two apart.
However, he died too young, and the fact that Dogka portrayed him as a child led people to subconsciously believe that Cao Chong was much younger than Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and others.
The letter Cao Cao was holding was written by Cao Chong.
Cao Chong's birth mother was Lady Huan, a native of Yanzhou. She had already married, but unfortunately died of illness.
After Cao Cao unified Yanzhou, he took her into his household, and she gave birth to Cao Chong.
In the backyard of the Cao family mansion, Madam Ding's position was as secure as Mount Tai.
Second is Lady Bian, and third is Lady Huan.
Besides Lady Huan's beauty, Cao Chong's intelligence was also a significant advantage.
As the eldest son of the legitimate wife, Cao Ang was the best successor in Cao Cao's camp, unmatched by anyone else.
But Cao Cao's most beloved youngest son was definitely Cao Chong, not anyone else.
That favor was far greater than that shown to Cao Zhi, whose poetic talent was often praised by Cao Cao.
This includes Zhou Buyi, the famous child prodigy and Su Yu's second follower, who was originally Cao Chong's study companion in history.
In fact, if Cao Chong had survived the Battle of Red Cliffs and had not died in an accident, the struggle for the heir apparent would likely have become a contest between Cao Pi and Cao Chong, rather than Cao Zhi.
The truth behind Cao Chong's death remains unknown.
But his intelligence is known to all.
The story of Cao Chong weighing the elephant comes from Cao Chong when he was eight years old.
Now, seeing the letter written by his youngest son, Cao Cao was overjoyed, his eyes brimming with happiness.
But suddenly, Cao Cao encountered a dilemma.
"Ziyi, Chong'er is still just a child."
"His birthday will be in three months."
"Cao wanted to give him some unusual gifts, but he really didn't know what to give him."
“That child has seen a lot since he was young (he is not easy to fool), so we need to find something different as a gift.”
At this moment, Cao Cao didn't seem like a powerful warlord about to rule the world, but rather like a father worrying about gifts for his child.
A wicked sense of amusement arose in Su Yu's heart.
He said to Cao Cao in a very serious tone:
"My lord, Wutugu of Wuquan Kingdom has brought rattan armor soldiers and elephant soldiers to help Meng Yi."
"The elephant is said to be a magical animal."
"My lord could capture some elephants and send them back to the sixth son to play with." (Cao Chong was the sixth son in his family.)
The dark fog before Cao Cao's eyes dissipated, and everything suddenly became bright.
Hello, elephants!
Cao Cao had never even seen an elephant before!
With this thing, he became an all-powerful father in front of Cao Chong again!
The father's towering figure was thus established.
Su Yu was secretly calculating in his heart, like Cao Chong weighing an elephant.
If one head can be weighed, what about dozens or hundreds?
Let Chong'er keep busy for a while. In this life, he will definitely not be harmed because of Cao Cao's favor.
Therefore, having a wonderful childhood is very important.
……
Leopard Spring Forest
Wutugu let out a huge sneeze with a "hiss".
Even the elephant beside him was startled.
Since the Battle of Hammer God Mountain, the Leopard Spring Forest area has become the new border between the barbarian soldiers and Cao Cao's army.
Wutugu, being such a brave fool, naturally had to personally lead his rattan armor soldiers and elephant cavalry to garrison this border.
Looking at the glossy elephant beside him, Wutugu nodded in satisfaction.
He is a very good elephant breeder.
The elephants stayed by his side, eating and drinking well, and were mostly happy except for necessary training.
The thought that Cao Jun was a villain who had come to destroy their peaceful life filled Wutugu with fighting spirit.
He clenched his fist and said fiercely:
"I, Wutugu, will surely return victorious!"
however.
As the saying goes, don't make oaths carelessly.
No sooner had Wutugu finished speaking than a scout from Wuquan Kingdom reported to him:
"Your Majesty! Enemy troops have appeared beyond the border!"
"Looks like there are quite a few!"
"Hmph! No matter how many there are, none of them are a match for my rattan armor warriors!"
Wutugu picked up the spiked club beside him and decided to personally lead the troops into battle.
With elephant cavalry leading the way and rattan armor soldiers following behind, they were quite imposing for a time.
Opposite Leopard Spring Forest
Pang De and Zhang He waited quietly for Wu Tugu to make his move.
"Tsk, is that an elephant? It really looks scary!"
Zhang He patted Pound on the shoulder and struck up a conversation with him.
"Junyi, don't move."
"I was just trying to find the elephant's weakness!"
Pound was also a persistent person.
Although Su Yu had already sent someone to deliver a brocade pouch, informing the two of their next course of action.
But Pound still wanted to see if he could overcome such a huge creature as the elephant through his own efforts.
Zhang He rolled his eyes:
"Lingming, you've got to be serious!"
"Your eyes are filled with a thirst for glory."
"What, are you going to train elephants too?"
"If you ask me, just like we captured King Mulu, we should capture Wutugu as well!"
Pound paused, then patted his forehead:
"You're right, so shall we proceed according to plan?"
A sinister smile appeared on Zhang He's face.
He appears quite frequently in these chapters, so he has to show off a bit, right?
Is it Wutugu? Baby, come quick!
The sound of retreat rang out.
Cao Cao's sixth brother used his usual skill again, feigning a retreat.
However, since the opponents are different each time, and their intelligence varies, with many being stupid or incompetent.
Therefore, someone always falls for the trap!
Wutugu was no exception.
Seeing Zhang He and Pang De leading Cao's army in retreat, Wutugu blew the rhinoceros horn.
"Rattan armor soldiers, heed my command! Follow me and kill!"
"kill!!!"
The soldiers in rattan armor were in high spirits.
They were dressed in uniform rattan armor.
Although it's not as stylish and eye-catching as armor, its defensive capabilities are exceptionally strong.
In addition, rattan armor is also very lightweight and quite agile.
However, the soldiers under Zhang He and Pang De were also only wearing light armor and were moving very fast.
Unbeknownst to them, the rattan armor soldiers had already chased for more than ten miles, but they still hadn't caught up with the retreating Cao army soldiers.
Looking at the cliffs that appeared ahead, Zhang He and Pang De exchanged a smile.
The fish is hooked!
