Chapter 961
Cao Shu sat in the woods, and Huo Wu, who came to report the news, stood in front of him with his head down.
"How far is it from here?" Cao Shuo asked.
"It's only fifty miles at most." Huo Wu replied.
"It won't take long to arrive." Cao Shu ordered Chen Dao on the side, "Let the soldiers get faster. When Han Meng arrived here, it should have been almost evening."
Chen Dao said to Deng Zhan beside him: "General Deng, please tell the soldiers."
After Deng Zhan left, Cao Shu asked Huo Wu: "Who else is the escort of food and grass besides Han Meng?"
"Several generals can be ignored." Huo Wu said: "Although there are many Yuan Jun escorts food and grass, they will definitely not be opponents of Feixiong Camp and Longwen Cavalry."
"You go first." Cao Ruo waved his hand and said to Huo Wu: "Continue to investigate Han Meng's movements."
After Huo Wu retreated, Chen Dao said to Cao Shu: "Young Master, it seems that Han Meng brought a lot of food and supplies this time."
"I would rather bring less food and grass." Cao Shuo said: "There are too much food and grass, and I really don't know how to transport it to the other side of the Yellow River."
"Does it really cost you?" Chen Dao said: "It's a pity to think about it."
"If you really can't transport it, you can't leave it to the enemy." Cao Shuo curled his lips helplessly and said, "The purpose of our coming here is to fill our soldiers' stomachs, and the other is to make the enemy hungry."
"This is Hebei. Although the Yuan family's army is quite far away, it doesn't take much time for them to assign troops to rush to aid." Cao Shu said: "Han Meng is less than fifty miles away from here. It is definitely too late for us to prepare to transport food and grass across the river at this time."
"What are the plans of the young master?" Chen Dao asked.
"Save some soldiers and wait until we intercept Han Meng, and let them set up racks on both sides of the river bank." Cao Shuo said: "The racks on the north bank must be much higher than those on the south bank. We will find a way to slide the food and grass across the river."
"How can I build the airs that the young master said?" Chen Dao still didn't understand what Cao Shu said.
"Look for a few soldiers who know carpenters." Cao Shuo said: "I'll draw it, and they will understand it at a glance."
Chen Dao went to select soldiers who knew carpenters for Cao Shu himself.
Before the soldiers joined the army, they did everything.
Most of them are farmers, and some are small handicraftsmen.
Masons, carpenters, blacksmiths, etc. can be found in the army.
After a while, Chen Dao brought a few soldiers to Cao Shu: "Young master, everyone who knows carpenters has been found."
When Chen Dao went to find someone, Cao Shu had already drawn a sketch.
He handed the picture to several soldiers and asked, "Can you build such a thing?"
One of the soldiers took the sketch with both hands.
After expanding and reading, he handed it to others.
When the soldiers passed the sketch, the first person to read asked, "When will the young master want it?"
"I will only give you one hour." Cao Shuo said: "The enemy passes here, and I will lead troops to intercept it. While we intercept it, you will start to build a shelf. No matter how much time it takes us to intercept the enemy, from the beginning of the battle, after one hour, the shelf for transporting food and grass must be built."
The time Cao Shu gave was very hasty. Several soldiers looked at each other but did not dare to respond.
"Whether all the food and grass can be transported back to the army smoothly depends on you." Cao Shuo said to several soldiers: "It's not that I'm pushing you too tightly, but that's because the war is too tight!"
"Don't worry, young master." A soldier said: "In an hour, we must build the shelves."
After he said this, several other soldiers looked at him, with embarrassment on their faces.
"Are you guys very embarrassed?" Cao Shuo asked them.
"Since the young master has given the order, we will do our best." Several other soldiers responded in unison.
"Go and prepare quickly." Cao Shuo waved his hands: "Once you start fighting, together with logging and building shelves, it's really too little an hour. You don't have much time, and from now on, you should sort out the tools you need."
Several soldiers retreated.
Chen Dao asked Cao Shu: "Young Master only gives you one hour, can they really do it?"
"I'm not sure if they can build the rack in just one hour," Cao Shu said. "If they can do it, we can send all the food and grass across the river bank. If they can't do it, we can only bring as much as possible."
"The trap that blocks Han Meng is almost completed." Chen Dao said: "We just need to wait here for Han Meng to deliver the food and grass."
"I want Han Meng more than food and grass." Cao Shuo smiled slightly.
"The young master came to Hebei this time, but he recruited a lot of people." Chen Dao said: "There are now three of the four courtyard pillars in Hebei in Shouchun."
"In addition, Han Meng is the four." Cao Shuo said: "There are four people in the four courts and one pillar. Han Meng is independent of Yan Liang, Wen Chou and others, and there must be some truths. This person's ability is definitely not inferior to Yan Liang and Wen Chou."
"I will know if he has the ability or not after I come." Chen Dao said: "If he is an incompetent, the young master doesn't have to work hard to get him to Shouchun. Just solve it here."
"Hebei has many talents." Cao Shuo said: "I came here just to get some family business. When I fight in the future, I won't have only a few of you who can use it. The world is too big, even if each of you has three heads and six arms, it is impossible to come over with it."
"As long as the young master told me to go, I will go wherever I want to go." Chen Dao said with his fists.
"I asked you to help me defeat the whole world alone, and I still have to guard no city." Cao Shuo asked with a smile: "Can you do it?"
Chen Dao was stunned: "How is that possible?"
Looking at the long deep trenches dug outside the forest, Cao Shu said: "To conquer the world, to put it bluntly, it is actually a competition of talents. Whoever has more talents will be able to establish himself in the world and achieve great achievements! Since I have led you to fight everywhere, of course I hope that you will be the most powerful minister in the future and will not be in vain to follow me."
"The young master's heart is in the country, and of course I can't understand many things." Chen Dao said: "I only know where the young master wants me to go and what I want me to do. I must be right if I follow the young master."
"Do you admire me very much?" Cao Shuo suddenly grinned and smiled at Chen Daoqiu.
Chen Dao was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, and finally said, "Young Master is very smart and has good martial arts skills. You can be both literary and martial, and it will indeed make people look up to you."
"I'll talk about your admiration for me later." Cao Shu interrupted him: "Let the soldiers complete the trap quickly, we have no more time."
