Chapter 217 Cao Cao: Can a Grass Maker Make Thousands of Arrows?
Chapter 217 Cao Cao: Can the Grass Maker Conjure [-] Arrows?
Cao Cao frowned, "Let me go and see, what the hell is Cao Peng doing?"
Cao Cao took Xu Chu to Cao Peng's camp.
All the soldiers under Cao Peng's command were tying straw men.
A school lieutenant recognized Cao Cao and hurried over to salute, "Meet the Prime Minister!"
Cao Cao nodded lightly, and asked casually, "Why do you tie grass?"
But the soldier shook his head in confusion, "I don't even know why the straw men were pierced. This is an order from General Cao Peng."
Seeing that this person really didn't know, Cao Cao didn't make things difficult for him and let him go to work.
If the matter of tying grass people is done to others, Cao Cao will only think that the other party is playing tricks.
But when this happened to Cao Peng, Cao Cao felt that there must be something wrong with it.
"Where is Cao Peng?" Cao Cao asked.
Xu Chu was taken aback for a moment, shook his head and said, "The last general came here before, but I really didn't see the great general."
Just after Cao Cao asked other soldiers, he didn't find out about Cao Peng's whereabouts, and was about to leave.
A familiar voice stopped him.
"Uncle, why are you here!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Cao Cao turned his head and saw Cao Peng walking towards him.
After Cao Peng approached, Cao Cao asked in a deep voice, "Three days have passed since the ten-day period. Why don't you hurry up and make arrows? Instead, you are piercing these straw men?"
Xu Chu on the side looked at Cao Peng very curiously. Although he was Cao Cao's loyal licking dog, he had a good personal relationship with Cao Peng, and he didn't want Cao Peng to have bad luck.
Cao Peng could already hear a bit of anger from Cao Cao's tone. Not only did he not feel uncomfortable, but he was a little happy.
The reason why Cao Cao is angry now is that he is worried that he will not be able to complete the task by the agreed time limit.
After all, it is true that Cao Cao wants to restrict his development, but it is also true that Cao Cao is Wang Xing.
This is a very contradictory matter, presumably due to the position.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, these straw men are my way to conjure 10 arrows."
"what?"
Cao Cao frowned and asked, "How can a grass man produce 10 arrows? Are you kidding me?"
"Uncle, this is related to my family and life, I will not joke." Cao Peng said seriously.
Cao Cao was a little angry, "Such a big event, how can it be a joke!"
Seeing that Cao Cao still didn't believe it, Cao Peng said again: "I will demonstrate it to my uncle in a few days, please forgive me for keeping it secret."
Seeing that Cao Peng was not joking at all, Cao Cao had no choice but to believe it.
"Okay, if you can't do this, don't die here!"
Cao Peng cupped his hands, "The general will understand!"
Cao Cao nodded and left.
Cao Cao thought of the miracles that Cao Peng had created one after another, but he wanted to see if Cao Peng could create another miracle after a few days.
……
The days passed like this.
Cao Cao sent people to Cao Peng's camp every day to inquire about the progress there.
However, the news that often comes back is that there is no sign of Cao Peng making arrows at all.
Cao Cao has already started to worry for Cao Peng.
He seemed to be sure that Cao Peng really couldn't do this.
It seems that it is time to consider the aftermath for him.
It's better to find a step when the time comes, so everyone can come down!
The time finally arrived, the agreed 10th day.
Cao Cao took Xu Chu, Cheng Yu and others to go, and Cao Hong and others also followed.
The group of them came to Cao Peng's camp.
The generals saw that Cao Peng's place was empty, let alone one hundred thousand arrows, they didn't see even one arrow.
Moreover, Cao Peng was not waiting for them in this tent.
"Where is the general? Didn't he dare to come?" Cao Hong said with a triumphant smile.
In his opinion, Cao Peng must have failed to complete the task, so he dared not come.
It is estimated that there is a high probability that he will push Gan Ning to be a scapegoat at that time.
As for himself, of course, if he admits his mistake again, then Cao Cao won't pursue him too much.
But since then, the prestige of General Cao Peng has grown.But it won't be as loud as before.
Both Cao Hong and Cheng Yu felt that they had won a big victory.
However, at this time, three people walked towards him from a distance.
Everyone looked over, it was Cao Peng who brought Zhao Yun and Gan Ning.
"Prime Minister, all generals, I hope to forgive you for being late!" Cao Peng said with a smile as he cupped his hands.
Gan Ning and Zhao Yun were beside Cao Peng, both holding two straw figures in their hands.
Cao Cao couldn't help being a little annoyed when he saw Cao Peng's matter and he was still playing with these straw figures.
"It doesn't matter if the general is late, it's just that the agreed time limit has come. Where are the 10 arrows?"
Hearing Cao Cao's tone, Cao Peng was not kind, so he smiled calmly.
Cao Hong immediately yelled: "General, where is the 10 arrows? Today is the 10th day. Are you kidding us?"
Cao Peng pointed with his hand, and there was a red sun in the sky.
"Before the sun sets today, 10 arrows will definitely be placed in front of you!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, did they guess that Cao Peng was transporting arrows from other places to make up the number?
Cheng Yu said: "General, it is agreed to supervise the manufacture of 10 arrows. If you transfer them from other places, I am afraid it will not be counted!"
Cao Peng smiled and waved his hands, "Mr. Zhongde, don't judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Don't worry, I won't bring these [-] arrows from other places."
Hearing this, everyone stopped talking.
"Then, shall we wait here until the sun goes down?" Cao Cao asked.
Cao Peng smiled, "I'm going to bring over 10 arrows now. If staying here is too boring, you can come with me!"
Cao Peng's words made everyone completely confused by Monk Erzhang.
"Where are you going?" Cao Cao blurted out.
Cao Peng smiled and said, "If uncle is curious, you might as well get on the boat and follow me."
After Cao Peng finished speaking, he cupped his hands and led Gan Ning to the riverside.
Cao Hong was the first to refuse, and he immediately followed. She wanted to see what kind of medicine Cao Peng was selling in the gourd, and Xu Huang and Le Jin were also there.
Seeing that the other generals were also ready to move, they planned to follow.
Cheng Yu said, "Prime Minister, although I don't know what the general is going to do, but if so many generals go with him, wouldn't our camp be empty and guarded!"
Cao Cao was startled when he heard this, "That's right, it's better for the others not to follow and guard here!"
So although the others were curious, they had to obey Cao Cao's order and stay here.
