Erbao was a little confused after hearing Guo Jia's advice.
Bao Tao said: "Mr. Guo is planning to ask our brothers to comfort Cao Ren and gain his trust through this matter?"
Guo Jia nodded: "That's about it."
Bao Zhong said with a smile: "Then this thing is easy to handle. Bao is not good at other things, but he is the best at comforting people! I will prepare wine now, and find time to have a drink with Cao Ren in the evening, and drink with him all night.
I guarantee we will be brothers the next day!"
Guo Jia rolled his eyes: "Cao Ren is also the number one general in the Cao clan after all. How can you be so close to each other with your little business skills?"
Bao Zhong smiled sheepishly and said, "In Mr. Guo's opinion, what should we do?"
Guo Jia thought about it carefully and said, "Guo teaches you a method. You can try it. Maybe it can change your current status in Cao Ren's heart."
As for the number one conspirator around Prime Minister Tao, Erbao regarded him as a god.
If Guo Jia farts in front of the two of them, both of them will say it smells good.
Seeing Er Bao's humble attitude, Guo Jia couldn't help but smile.
He thought for a while and said: "Cao Ren has been bored in the house for three days in a row. I think he missed it too much and didn't think about anything. Now he is out. If there is no accident, he will patrol the city tonight and inspect every battalion. You two
Wherever a person is ordered to guard, he will definitely go there. You just need to make some preparations before he goes to explore, and then do as I say."
Bao Tao said doubtfully: "May I ask Mr. Guo, what preparations do we two need?"
Guo Jia gave the two of them some instructions in a low voice...
…
That night, Cao Ren indeed led his personal guards to inspect each battalion. He did not inform each battalion in advance that today was a surprise inspection and not a routine official duty.
The other camps did not react, and many problems were discovered by Cao Ren. However, Erbao was already prepared because he was reminded by Guo Jia, and arranged guards to wait in front of the camp. Once he saw Cao Ren appear, he immediately notified them.
Two people.
Cao Ren walked among the camps, looked up at the stars in the sky, and couldn't help but feel sad.
"Alas!" Cao Ren sighed, with indescribable sadness in his tone.
I remember when he and Cao Hong defected to Cao Cao's command. For more than ten years, they went through ups and downs and made great contributions to Cao Cao's great cause.
When brothers work together, there is nothing that cannot be solved. Now all the capable men of the Cao family have gathered under Cao Cao's tent to conquer the world together and want to do something big.
In Cao Ren's opinion, how lucky this is!
But now Cao Hong is dead, Xuchang is lost, and Xun Yu has surrendered to the pottery merchants.
This series of events was very mentally tortured for Cao Ren.
Of course, the root cause of Cao Ren's depression was the death of Cao Hong. After all, they were brothers from the same clan and had grown up together. The depth of their relationship was certainly unparalleled.
Cao Ren walked on the road like this, checking the omissions in each camp while wandering around.
When we arrived at Er Bao's military camp, we saw that the camp was in a state of order and order. There was no shortage of soldiers at sentry posts and patrols. They all used secret signals when they met. It can be said that military discipline is strict.
Cao Ren observed carefully for a long time and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that Bao Zhong and Bao Tao's military skills were so high. They are indeed Bao Xin's younger brothers. Cao actually underestimated them at first."
After saying that, Cao Ren led his men into Er Bao's barracks.
When they arrived at Er Bao's residence, they found that their tents were still lit with lights.
Cao Ren stood at the door of the tent and looked inside suspiciously.
But they saw that Cao Hong's spiritual tablet was enshrined on the main seat of Erbao's tent.
Cao Ren was stunned when he saw this.
Because Er Bao had been sending people to inquire, he already knew when Cao Ren arrived at their camp.
Therefore, they have entered a show state at this moment.
But I heard Bao Zhong say: "Brother, it's almost time. It's time to offer incense to General Cao."
Bao Tao nodded, then took out the incense, and together with Bao Tao, placed a place on Cao Hong's spiritual site.
After he finished offering incense, he heard Bao Zhong say: "Brother, we don't even know General Cao, but we offer him incense every day. What kind of thing is this?"
Bao Tao said: "Brother, you can't say that. I think back then Cao Sikong gave you and me the important task of welcoming the old grandpa, but because of your and my negligence, the grandpa died in Xuzhou. To be honest, after so many years,
Brother Wei has always felt sorry for the Cao family. When my brother died, you and I were desperate. Fortunately, Sikong took us in... So, no matter how we think about it, we can't feel sorry for the Cao family."
After hearing this, Cao Ren couldn't help but smile bitterly.
To be honest, he probably knew what happened when Cao Song died, and he really couldn't blame Er Bao.
But these two people were ashamed of this, which really moved Cao Ren, and at the same time he felt a little guilty.
Then I heard Bao Zhong say: "Even if we feel sorry for Cao Sikong, why are we here worshiping General Zilian every day?"
Bao Tao sighed and said: "Even if we are not familiar with General Zi Lian, he is still a member of the Cao family after all. Moreover, when General Zi Lian was dying, he refused to surrender to the pottery merchants and was beheaded for cursing a traitor. This kind of courage
His responsibility and responsibility are really touching and admirable! We brothers will not suffer any loss if we pay homage to him."
After hearing this, Bao Zhong said: "You are right, General Zilian is really good! He is worthy of being a man of the Cao family, and he is worthy of being a general under Sikong Zhang!"
After hearing what they said, Cao Ren could no longer control himself and suddenly sobbed twice outside the tent.
Bao Zhong and Bao Tao hurriedly turned back.
"General Cao!" Bao Tao was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "I have seen General Cao!"
Cao Ren waved his hand casually and said: "There is no need to be polite. This general is just conducting a routine inspection without notifying you in advance. I am not disturbing the two generals, right?"
Bao Zhong said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare. It is really an honor for my two brothers that the general can come here."
Cao Ren glanced at Bao Zhong and said nothing, but then looked at Bao Tao and said: "General Bao, you are really a loyal and righteous man."
Bao Tao said hurriedly: "I don't dare, I don't dare! General Cao has given me a thumbs up!"
Cao Ren glanced at Cao Hong's memorial tablet, then asked Erbao to borrow some sticks of incense and gave it to Cao Hong.
"That's pretty much it for tonight's camp tour... Is there any wine in the two generals' camp?"
Bao Zhong said hurriedly: "Yes! Yes!"
"Come on over to the bar. If you have nothing to do, the three of us can have a drink."
Bao Zhong hurriedly ordered someone to serve wine, and the three of them started drinking together in the tent.
After having a drink, Cao Ren wiped his mouth and said to Bao Tao: "Just now I was outside the tent and accidentally heard the general's remarks. Cao took it seriously. He only regretted that he didn't understand the general as a person and could not make friends with him.
Deeply regretful.”
Bao Tao didn't take it seriously and said: "General Zilian's death makes the general feel sad. His mood at this time is understandable. It's just like when my brother died and my two brothers were at a loss what to do... But now the army of pottery merchants is approaching.
Cao Sikong's soldiers and horses have also returned. As the general of Chenliu, the general must not delay important events because he misses his brothers. The top priority now is to defeat the enemy."
Cao Ren really didn't expect that Bao Tao would be so considerate. He was very touched and asked, "In General Bao's opinion, what should Cao do now?"
