Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 204 Everyone is Satisfied, So Who Is Losing? [Double ask for a monthly ticket and ask for a subscription]

This statement came out.

Wen Chou was dumbfounded.

"Thousands of great armor?!"

"Duke Ming is just joking?"

He was obviously a rough man, but under the scream, his voice became sharp, and it sounded like a broken sound, which shows that he was shocked in his heart.

And after an exclamation.

Wen Chou couldn't help but said to Cao Cao: "Minggong, this big armor is a rare item, not only the materials are expensive, but also the process is complicated, from the manufacture to the finished product, it takes a lot of time and money! "

"My family's lord is only the prefect of Bohai County. Although he was born in the Yuan family of four generations and three princes, how many precious things can there be like a large armor, so more than a thousand pieces are really a joke! "

Wen Chou's tone was very hasty.

Obviously the price tag is too high.

Cao Cao is naturally aware of this.

The so-called large armor refers to the armor set with a large protective area, including the shoulders, legs and other parts. It is indeed a precious thing.

Ordinary small powers may not even have a big armor for their commanders. If they can equip their generals with this level of armor, they are considered a well-developed local power.

Therefore, Cao Cao's asking price is indeed exaggerated.

it's fine.

He was just asking for a lot of money.

Seek high to get middle, seek middle to get low.

Only when the lion opens his mouth and the other party makes a counter-offer can he return to a satisfactory psychological range.

"I wonder how much the general thinks is appropriate?"

Cao Cao didn't argue with Wen Chou either.

The light words fell on Wen Chou's ears, causing him to fall into deep thought.

Yuan Shao did give him a lot of authority.

But this permission is limited.

It's impossible for the other party to ask for a price, and he agreed simply and neatly, and it must be within a reasonable range.

After thinking for a while.

Wen Chou leaned forward slightly, and hesitantly revealed a number.

"Hundred armors are feasible!"

Cao Cao: "?"

……

"I say [-]%, the general will return [-]%, so it's a bit too dishonest!"

"If that's the case, it's better to give up!"

Cao Cao was extremely resolute.

A very unpleasant look.

And see this situation.

Wen Chou also felt that he was indeed too harsh in counter-offering, so he thought it over and over again.

Another number was reported.

"The 150, no more!"

Cao Cao compared to three fingers.

"Five hundred, if you can do it, you can do it, if you can't do it, let it go!"

At this point.

Both of them were a little bit reluctant to give in.

Seeing that the negotiations were about to reach a stalemate, Cao Ang, who was sitting by the side, suddenly patted the table lightly.

Then he broke the tense atmosphere with a smile.

"Father, General Wen, I don't think we should argue, it's better to take a half-step back and find a compromise."

"Three hundred pieces of armor, how about it?!"

Wen Chou, who was originally caught in a stalemate and was a little anxious, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Cao Ang jump out and mediate the matter.

Three hundred is three hundred.

Anyway, you don't have to pay for it yourself, with your own family's wealth, you can still get these out.

And as long as Cao Cao's support is obtained, the task will be considered as a successful completion. After returning home, they will be able to do business, so why continue to fight with red faces?
Therefore, after Cao Ang's voice fell.

Wen Chou immediately cupped his hands to Cao Cao and said, "As General Zixiu said, then there are three hundred pieces of armor. Duke Ming thinks this is appropriate?"

Cao Cao is naturally okay.

His psychological bottom line is one hundred and fifty.

If the stalemate between the two sides continues, and Wen Chou still refuses to let go, then he will agree.

On the contrary, now that my father and son are two, one is playing the good side, the other is the bad side, and successfully doubled the price, so what is there to be dissatisfied with?

"That `s a deal!"

……

Agreement reached.

All three present were satisfied.

Wen Chou felt that he had completed the tasks assigned by his superiors and filled the most critical part of the entire grand plan for his own forces.

As long as the Cao family's army can be introduced into Jizhou and confronted with Gongsun Zan.

No matter who wins or loses.

My family can finally come out to reap the benefits.

After sweeping away these opponents at that time, they could swallow the entire Jizhou with peace of mind.

This starts the road to domination of one side.

As for the benefits paid, what is it compared to the grand plan and great cause?

Of course Cao Cao was also very satisfied.

Although he didn't know why his son agreed to lead his troops to go north to fight against Gongsun Zan.

But I think there is always his reason.

And since he was sure of this, getting such a large amount of resources from Yuan Shao could definitely be called an extremely cost-effective deal.

……

But to say among the three, who is the most satisfied.

There is no doubt that it was Cao Ang who was silent throughout the whole process except for standing up at the end to make a final decision.

Don't look at his calm surface.

In fact, I couldn't help laughing out loud.

This Yuan Shao is also a wonderful person.

He actually sent someone here to set up a situation, trying to lure the Cao family into the chaos of Jizhou with benefits.

It's a pity that Yuan Shao didn't know.

Even if there is no Wen Chou.

In the end, he would get his foot in this muddy water. Wasn't he joining forces with Han Fu just to wait for such an opportunity to sit on the Jizhou chess table openly and play chess with the rest of the parties?
On the contrary, Yuan Shao didn't need to do anything.

It not only increased the legitimacy of Cao Ang's intervention in Yanzhou affairs, but even gave him many benefits for nothing.

Truly a great man.

I don't know which expert came up with this plan for Yuan Shao, he really is a unparalleled counselor!

……

The next half an hour.

Cao Ang replaced his father Cao Cao and discussed the details with Wen Chou.

Such as when to send troops into Jizhou, and the minimum number of troops to mobilize, and how to cooperate with Yuan and Cao when fighting Gongsun Zan.

At the same time, the resources such as food, grass, and large armor promised at the same time will be delivered clearly by what method and by what time at the latest.

All these details have to be finalized.

And after finalizing these charters.

Wen Chou can be regarded as letting go of one of his worries.

Just as he was about to say goodbye to Cao Cao and his son, and go back to the military camp, he had a good rest.

Cao Ang suddenly thought of a question.

Hastily reached out and grabbed Wen Chou.

Then he asked him: "General Wen, I have heard for a long time that the white horse general Gongsun Zan, whose command is the Youyan iron cavalry, is unparalleled in the world. Once he launches a charge, it will really be like the collapse of Mount Tai and the influx of the East Sea."

"With the power of the cavalry under his command, if you only use infantry to fight with him, I am afraid that with the joint efforts of both of you and me, you will not be his opponent."

Hear this.

Wen Chou's complexion couldn't help changing slightly.

Then he nodded reluctantly.

"What Zixiu said is true, the cavalry under Gongsun Bogui's command is indeed unparalleled in the world."

"It's just an exaggeration to say that neither of us can win the battle with our joint efforts. It's not impossible to fight infantry against cavalry."

"Pierce it with a spear, block it with a thick shield, shoot it with a crossbow if you have a crossbow, all these methods can make it dare not beat our soldiers!"

……

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

What Wen Chou said is naturally reasonable, but his purpose is not just to listen to such words.

So after nodding.

Cao Ang still persisted and said: "Although that is the case, I still want to expand the number of cavalry as much as possible, but because Yanzhou is not a place to raise horses, I want to ask General Wen to mediate."

Wen Chou was stunned for a moment.

Then he stepped back, made a vigilant defensive posture, shook his head and said.

"General Cao, we already have enough food, grass and armor. If we need to add another batch of war horses, it would be too much!"

Wen Chou thought that Cao Ang wanted to prostitute for nothing.

However, he really misunderstood Cao Ang this time.

War horses are no better than large armors. The demand gap is very large. It is not enough to build a large-scale cavalry team just by asking for it once or twice.

Only by getting through Yuan Shao's channel and continuously obtaining war horses, the so-called tiger and leopard rider's vision can finally become a reality.

Therefore, sustainable development is the right way, and we must not engage in a one-shot deal.

……

Therefore, in the face of Wen Chou's suspicion.

Cao Ang just smiled lightly, shook his head and explained: "General Wen really misunderstood."

"I just want to use your hands to buy war horses for a long time. Our Cao family will pay for it. Isn't that okay?"

Wen Chou blinked his eyes.

As soon as he heard that there was no need to give it away for free, he was naturally very willing. Although the scale of raising horses in Jizhou is not as good as that in Youzhou in the north, it is still huge.

Open some channels to the Cao family.

It can be described as extremely easy.

What's more, Cao Ang also said that he would pay and buy according to the market price, and his own power would still make some money.

If the Cao family relied on these war horses to increase their strength, they would be even more powerful in the battle against Gongsun Zan in the future.

No matter how you think about it, it is a big profit!

After thinking clearly.

Wen Chou nodded without hesitation.

"The general's intention will be conveyed to the Fujun after returning to Bohai County, but the Fujun will not refuse such a reciprocal benefit."

……

Wait until Wen Chou is sent out.

Cao Ang turned back to the study.

At the moment Cao Cao is waiting for him in the study.

Seeing his son push the door open, Cao Cao couldn't help beckoning to him, motioning to sit down beside him.

Then with a smile on his face, he patted Cao Ang on the shoulder lightly, and said with a smile.

"Ang'er, you are still thoughtful. If you hadn't mentioned it at the end, my father would never have thought that I could build a way to buy war horses with your original uncle."

Great for cavalry.

Cao Cao already had a deep understanding.

Whether it was the Battle of Linqiu County or the Battle of Jinxiang City, the cavalry played an extremely important role and truly demonstrated their superiority.

Therefore, continuing to expand its scale and expanding the current cavalry team of less than 2000 to at least [-], or even more, has become a top priority.

Hearing his father's praise for himself.

Cao Ang responded with a chuckle.

"Father, speaking of the cavalry, I'm afraid you have to find a cavalry commander as soon as possible. When the child goes to Dongjun to take office, I will definitely take General Cao Chun with him."

Cao Cao waved his hand indifferently.

"If you want your son to be useful, then just take it away. As a father, you can also order your uncle Miaocai to command the cavalry."

"It's just that you have decided to go to Dongjun to take up the post. Although the court ordered you to be the prefect of Dongjun, you can completely take the post of prefect just like Miaocai and the others, and stay in Changyi to help be your father."

……

Cao Cao definitely hoped that Cao Ang would stay by his side. In his opinion, his son stayed by his side to advise and assist him in making some decisions.

The role it can play is far better than governing a Dongjun county.

But Cao Ang shook his head firmly.

"Father doesn't know that, in my child's eyes, Dong County is far more important than Dongping Country and other places, so Uncle Miaocai can take the job from afar, but I have to take the job in person."

"East County connects Jizhou and Heluo at the same time. As long as we can hold this place firmly in our hands, no matter whether we go north or west, we can quickly respond to any changes if there are any changes."

"That's why the child has to go all the way!"

Cao Ang didn't say everything to Cao Cao.

Just said half of the reason.

Most of the reason is that the core location he agreed with Han Fu is Wei County, which is located north of Dong County.

If Dongjun is not in his hands.

Then how to connect with Wei County?

This is related to the core area of ​​the grand strategy. If you don't take the appointment in person, Cao Ang is really worried about many things.

……

explanation for the son.

Cao Cao nodded to express his understanding.

Ever since Cao Ang showed extraordinary talent all the way in Luoyang City, Cao Cao rarely intervened in his many big and small decisions.

After all, there is a reason.

We are so big and we are not fools.

Just thinking of the Jizhou mentioned in Cao Ang's words just now, Cao Cao couldn't help knocking on the table, and asked quite seriously.

"Son, Jizhou now has Jizhou Mu Hanfu, your uncle Benchu, and Gongsun Zan watching over him. If we step in, won't we get caught up in it?"

Hearing his father's concerns.

A smile appeared on Cao Ang's face, and he replied very easily: "Perhaps this is the goal that the child needs to pursue after being deeply involved?"

"If we hadn't intervened, Jizhou might have been chaotic for a while, and eventually a winner would be determined to control the entire land of Jizhou."

"On the contrary, if the boy leads the troops into Jizhou, it is enough to keep Jizhou in a state of chaos as much as possible, and no one side is the winner."

"Doesn't this leave plenty of time for our own family?"

Cao Cao closed his eyes and meditated for a while.

Then nodded slowly.

Yanzhou and Jizhou are too close, but Yanzhou is far inferior to Jizhou in terms of territory, population and resources, so only one chaotic neighbor is the most beneficial situation for the Cao family!
……

"One more thing, when we need to lead troops into Jizhou, who should lead the team?"

In fact, this is a superfluous question.

Sending troops to the north is not to fight wild monsters, nor to exterminate a bandit or bandit.

Instead, we need to join forces with Yuan Shao to deal with Gongsun Ce.

At the very least, there must be one person who can talk to a big shot like Yuan Shao, who is equivalent to the qualifications, and lead the team.

However, there are only two people in the Cao family who have this qualification.

Cao Cao needs to sit in Yanzhou.

Then only Cao Ang can go?

So Cao Ang pointed at himself.

See this situation.

Cao Cao couldn't help showing a little worried look on his face, and subconsciously wrote the word "Gongsun" on the table with his right hand.

"Ang'er, that Gongsun Zan is a famous general in the world, and you are well aware of his brilliant achievements in the previous battle in Dongguang Realm."

"At that time, it was not an easy task to lead troops to the north to fight against him!"

Cao Ang is not an arrogant person.

But it's useless to talk about things right now.

Just give Cao Cao strong confidence.

So Cao Ang nodded heavily without hesitation.

"Father, don't worry, you can just wait for my good news in Yanzhou. Although Gongsun Bogui is powerful, I, Cao Ang, am by no means easy."

"No matter how powerful his cavalry is, I have plenty of ways to defeat it!"

Cao Cao couldn't help smiling when he heard this.

He likes his son's confident appearance.

Sway freely, uninhibited.

……

Just as the father and son are talking and laughing.

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.

Then I heard someone shouting anxiously outside the door.

"General Cao, an urgent letter from Dingtao County, it seems that something happened at home!"

Cao Ang stood up suddenly!
