It was not until the evening that Cao Hong realized that Zhuge Tian’s mention of “many services” was not a joke.

Well, don’t think too much, it’s all serious!

For example, when both sides started to set up camp, Liao Hua started shouting while holding a sleeping bag.

"Look, look! Wolong Village cotton sleeping bags, soft and breathable!"

"It's made of fine linen. It feels like a girl is caressing your skin while you sleep!"

"It uses a full two kilograms of base. When you put it on the ground and crawl into it, it's like being back in your mother's arms!"

"..."

"Can't you just tell him to shut up?" Cao Hong felt his temples throbbing in his tent.

"Um... General Mancheng and General Wenqian are already bargaining with... them."

As soon as the old butler finished speaking, Li Dian and Le Jin came in carrying three sleeping bags.

"General, try this sleeping bag tonight! We just tried it out and it's so comfortable!"

Li Dian was waving a sleeping bag in front of Cao Hong.

Cao Hong has no energy to use!

I want to scold them, but they bought it so that he could sleep comfortably.

Let's just leave it at that...

That's really the only way to deal with it.

They set out again early the next morning. Zhuge Tian looked at Cao Hong and his companions on the road with surprise.

"Are they in such a hurry to go back? It seems Cao Cao has quite the charisma! He makes his generals so eager to return home."

Finally, before noon, we arrived at the junction of Rang County and Wuyin County.

Now Wuyin is still in the hands of Cao's army, and this place is the boundary between the two forces.

Cao Hong sent someone back yesterday to ask someone to send money and other supplies over.

There were dozens of full cars, which made his eyelids twitch.

I just lost a battle and felt like my home was going to be gone.

Zhuge Tianqing counted the coins and handed 200 coins to Cao Hong. "These coins total 76327 strings of cash and 200 coins. Here's your change."

Li Dian and his friends spent a lot of money on sleeping bags yesterday.

Fortunately, Cao Hong sent a little more money when he asked someone to deliver it, otherwise he felt that it was very likely that Zhuge Tian would have confiscated it.

He snorted coldly and was about to leave when he heard Zhuge Tian shouting from behind, "Welcome back next time!"

With just this sound, Cao Hong staggered and almost fell off his horse!

"General Han Sheng is quite good at making money!"

A fat man who looked like a businessman from the Rang County garrison said enviously.

Cao Cao initially sent out 300 cavalrymen, all of whom sneaked in secretly.

If the army could really move in and out of Xiangyang at will, Liu Biao would have been destroyed long ago.

More than 2,000 people came to pick up Cao Hong today.

These troops arrived at the border of Rang County with great fanfare, so naturally there had to be garrison troops watching over Rang County.

This fat man is the one who brought the defenders here.

"Mr. Wenhe, thank you for your kind words!" Huang Zhong seemed reluctant to deal with this person. He bowed and left with Zhuge Tian and the others.

"Who is this person?" Zhuge Tian asked beside Huang Zhong.

"Zhang Xiu's advisor, Jia Wenhe."

"Jia Xu!" Zhuge Tian was startled and looked back, only to see the fat man smiling harmlessly and nodding at him.

"Do you know him? He looks cheerful, but he's hard to figure out. I feel uncomfortable around him."

"I've heard of it!" Zhuge Tian didn't expect to meet the legendary poisonous scholar Jia Xu here.

But you really can't tell from this perspective.

On the other hand, Cao Hong returned to Cao's camp and went naked to Cao Cao to confess his crime.

"Zi Lian, why do you have to do this?" Cao Cao went up and helped Cao Hong up. "It's really because I didn't listen to the military advisor's advice!"

"And the most important thing now is not losing to Zhang Xiu, but..."

Cao Cao's eyes flashed with a gleam of intelligence when he said this: "That hidden poisonous snake."

"Have you found anything?" Cao Hong asked.

"I sent three hundred elite cavalry to support you this time because I was afraid they would assassinate you like they did to Xu Chu. I didn't expect that the location of the three hundred elite cavalry who secretly infiltrated Jingzhou would be completely known to the enemy."

"The elite cavalry who escaped said their horses must have eaten problematic fodder. They became weak and diarrhoea-ridden before they could even face the attackers. This resulted in their combat effectiveness being less than 50% of their full strength, and the enemy outnumbered them..."

Cao Cao was still terrified when he said this: "Fortunately, the people of Wolong Village rescued you, otherwise I would have lost three more generals."

"Horses?" Cao Hong's mind stirred. "When we were fighting in Wancheng, Zixiu and Anmin both lost their horses when Zhang Xiu's rebellious army arrived..."

Cao Cao's eyes flushed as Cao Hong recounted this story. "That's right, and Zixiu's horse was mine! When Zhang Xiu attacked the camp, Zixiu noticed my horse seemed weak, so he swapped his for mine!"

"At the time, I just thought the horses hadn't gotten any rest from the days of fighting. Now I think it's not that simple."

Zixiu was Cao Cao's son Cao Ang, who died in the Battle of Wancheng along with Cao Anmin and Dian Wei.

Cao Cao now thought that if he had not changed his horse that day, he would not have been able to escape.

A chill also came over Cao Hong.

"When the troops reached Rang County this time, I also questioned Zhang Xiu. He said that he surrendered and then rebelled because he knew I wanted to kill him!"

Cao Cao looked at Cao Hong and said, "But you should know that I didn't have the slightest intention of killing him at that time."

"So where did he get the news?"

"Are you saying that Zhang Xiu was also instigated by that person, which is why he suddenly rebelled?"

"Zhang Xiu's words are just his one-sided statement, but this possibility is very high!"

"This time, the opponent finally revealed a flaw, and that's the horse feed!"

"If you fail this time, I will dismiss you, Mancheng, and Wenqian from your posts," Cao Cao said coldly. "You will then be demoted to be in charge of the entire army's supply. Don't let any of those who might be suspects go unpunished."

"Yes! I will definitely find out who is behind this!" Cao Hong nodded.

Cao Cao now has an army of nearly 200,000, and there are definitely quite a few people among them who are responsible for horse feed.

However, he was in charge of the baggage, and he only needed to carefully find out who was in charge of the horse feed for the Battle of Wancheng and the three hundred elite cavalrymen who came to pick him up this time.

"It's better to kill a thousand by mistake than to let one go!" Cao Cao said with gritted teeth, "The enemy may very well be the culprit behind the deaths of Zixiu and Dian Wei!"

"Someone has to pay for this. Wen Lie will help you too!"

"I understand!" Cao Hong said, "To make the performance more realistic, please call Mancheng and Wenqian and punish us. This will make the person in the dark relax his vigilance."

"..." Cao Cao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then you will have to endure some hardship."

"Don't worry, my lord. It's just a few dozen military sticks."

Cao Hong said, "There's one more thing. It's about Wolong Village in Deng County..."
