Cao Cao remembers this clearly now.
It was a rather hot night.
The entire team is camping in the wilderness.
I was reading in the tent, and my son excused himself as he was a little bored, so he went for a walk outside the tent.
As a result, it took me a long time to come back.
When I came back, my clothes were stained with the fragrance of various cosmetics and powders, and I could smell them from a long distance away.
In addition, there is a very obvious red mark on the neck stalk.
Cao Cao observed at that time that this small red mark was definitely not a scar.
And as someone who has been here for so many years, he is considered experienced, so he concluded that he was sucked out.
At that time, Cao Cao had doubts.
Because there were only so many people in the camp, and Diao Chan had already gone to bed, sleeping in a tent with his wife Ding, Cao Ang did not dare to disturb them.
Besides, in the middle of nowhere, in the middle of nowhere, where can I find a woman?
Therefore, Cao Cao determined that it was the person on the carriage.
At that time, I thought that the person sitting in the carriage was Cao Ang raised in the outer room outside. Taking advantage of this time to leave Luoyang, he quietly took him with him.
But until today.
Only then did Cao Cao know who was on the carriage.
The combination of the two things made Cao Cao even more frightened, and he only felt shuddering.
Cao Cao was very sure that his son had a close interaction with someone on the carriage.
But now apart from the emperor, the other three people on the carriage, no matter who had such a close relationship with his son, would only make Cao Cao feel horrified and inexplicable.
The Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine, the Yin family!
Damn it!
It’s scary to think about it!
Cao Cao stood firmly on the spot. In the confused gaze of Cao Ang not far away, his whole figure seemed to have turned into a sculpture, and he was stunned for a long time.
It is true that Cao Cao was a little confused.
My mind has become a mess.
His mind was running at top speed, trying to deduce who this woman was based on other clues.
After a long while.
Cao Cao finally made a decision in his heart.
Mrs. Yin!
Should, no, absolutely!
Definitely this woman!
The person Cao Ang went out for a secret meeting that night was definitely Yin, the daughter-in-law of General He Jin and the nephew-in-law of the Queen Mother.
In fact, there is no basis for such an inference.
There is no ironclad evidence that can point to Mrs. Yin. The Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine are equally suspicious, and the possibilities among the three are equal.
But in Cao Cao's subconscious.
He directly eliminated the other two options, which was instinctive rejection and rejection.
He didn't believe that his son would do such a treacherous thing and have an affair with the Queen Mother or the Imperial Concubine.
Even more unwilling to believe that the family members of the Emperor, who symbolized the majesty of the Han Dynasty, would do such an unspeakable thing.
So he identified it as Mrs. Yin!
…
After clarifying my thoughts.
Cao Cao hesitated.
Then he turned around and walked towards Cao Ang.
Cao Ang was a little confused when he saw his father striding towards him.
What happened to Lao Cao today?
Those who came in and out of the gate of the prefect's mansion had already gone back and forth two or three times.
Could it be that there are no worries this time?
Before Cao Ang could figure it out.
Cao Cao had already arrived in front of him.
"Father, is there anything else important?"
Cao Cao did not answer, but pondered for a moment.
The place suddenly became quiet.
After a while, perhaps after Cao Cao had figured out how to express it, he put his arms around Cao Ang's shoulders and neck and pulled him aside.
The people holding each other's backs don't look like father and son, but like classmates and friends.
"Son, today we have some heart-to-heart talk between father and son. As a father, I would like to ask you, is there only Diao Chan in your house, which makes you feel a little short of women?"
Cao Cao's question immediately confused Cao Ang and made him confused.
Maybe his father feels that he has grown up and wants to talk to him about some adult topics?
don't know.
But Cao Ang still shook his head and explained: "I don't know if there are any shortages. If there are a few more like Diao Chan, it would be the best. I won't refuse anyone who comes."
Very honest, the main thing is not to tell lies.
Cao Cao heard this.
He immediately curled his lips.
Sure enough, the truth was just as he had guessed. This boy felt that having only Diao Chan in his house was not enough, so he went around messing around with women.
I don't know why I hooked up with Mrs. Yin, a widow who lives at home, and she really has great powers.
Cao Cao would never object to his son's desire to find more women.
It would be great if there were more women, they would spread their branches and spread the family lineage, which meant that their Cao family could also prosper.
But there are so many good women in the world, why does this boy fall in love with the ones that are not easy to touch?
Mrs. Yin is okay, she is just a widow with a son.
If the idea is to target the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine next time, why don't you expose the truth?
Therefore, Cao Cao felt that he must be educated.
After sorting out his words for a while, Cao Cao patted Cao Ang on the shoulder and said seriously.
"Son, if you are short of women, then tell your father. If you feel shameless, you can also tell your mother. Anyway, anything will do."
"But as a father, I still don't recommend that you touch someone who is widowed and has a newborn baby. It's not appropriate."
"Isn't it good to be a yellow-flowered girl?"
It was not easy to educate directly, so Cao Cao could only adopt a roundabout approach.
However, Cao Ang was shocked when he heard this.
Someone is coming!
My father was transferred!
…
Cao Cao looked at him in disbelief.
I couldn't help but widen my eyes, and after looking up and down, I confirmed that it was undoubtedly my father, Cao Cao.
Cao Ang was puzzled!
Father, what's wrong with you, Father?
Are you still the Cao Mengde I am familiar with, or are you still the Cao thief called Cao thief by later generations, the founder of the Cao thief spirit that has been passed down for thousands of years and has never been extinguished?
Regardless of why my father suddenly brought up this topic, I don't know why he asked me about widows raising children.
Let's talk about things.
What do you mean by "It's not appropriate to be a widow" and "Isn't it bad to be a yellow-flowered girl?"
How did such words come out of your mouth?
Cao Ang felt that his arrival must have caused some chaos in the world.
Even Cao Mengde changed his temper.
There is a strong sense of collapse.
Cao Ang felt that he had the responsibility and obligation to correct this broken world. The first step started with Cao Cao.
This mistake must be corrected seriously.
A married woman and a yellow-flowered girl are equally fragrant!
Don't tell me who is good and who is bad.
I want them all!
After thinking about it, Cao Ang immediately turned around and put his arm around Cao Cao's shoulders.
Learn from your father.
Some gods said nonchalantly: "What my father said was wrong. The child has a different opinion."
"What happened to the widow?"
"Don't mention that your husband is dead and he only has a one- or two-year-old baby. Even if your husband is still alive and has a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old son, I don't think it's a big deal!"
"There are still defenders in the city. So when it's time to attack the city, we don't have to attack the city. When we play Cuju, there are still gatekeepers. Shouldn't we just shoot?"
Cao Ang made a clever argument.
He almost made Cao Cao angry enough to vomit blood.
Good boy, you go one step further. It's not enough to be a widow. You even have ideas for someone whose husband is still alive?
Besides, am I discussing this with you?
I don’t care how many widows you want to find!
I just want to use this example to warn you kid, don’t set your sights on people like the Queen Mother and the Imperial Concubine!
Just when Cao Cao wanted to say something else.
Cao Ang stopped talking to him.
He patted Cao Cao twice on the back in a decent manner, looking like a good brother.
"Father, there are some things you don't understand. Of course it's nice to be a young girl, but it's also nice to be a married woman!"
"My child, as for this, you should think about it more. If you have something else to do, I'll leave first!"
After that, he ran away.
Cao Cao was left stunned.
After a long time.
Cao Cao sighed.
He shook his head helplessly.
What do you mean I don’t understand? Do I know less than you?
After all, we are not gentlemen!
…………
The last day before Chinese New Year.
The entire Dingtao County was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations.
With Cao Cao's generous support, the Prefect's Mansion and Dingtao County Government allocated a special sum of money to decorate several main streets and lanes in the city.
After all, it is the first year for the Cao family and his son to come to Dingtao County, so it is still very meaningful.
Decorating like this will not only make the place lively and lively, but also enhance the presence of the prefect.
Riding on the red rabbit horse, Cao Ang enjoyed the scenery on both sides of the streets and alleys, and soon arrived at the military camp on the outskirts of the city.
"General, you are here!"
Cao Ang has just tied up his horse.
Over there, Cao Chun was already approaching him quickly.
"Zihe, how are you? I heard that you have created the first finished product?"
Cao Chun nodded hurriedly.
There was excitement in his eyes.
The whole person was very excited.
"Reporting back to the general, my subordinates organized a group of craftsmen to work day and night, and finally made the first complete set of horse gear last night."
"I wanted to report to you immediately, but it was too late last night, so I waited until early this morning before I sent someone to your house to inform you."
Cao Chun was all smiles.
Cao Ang was naturally overjoyed.
Once the first set of finished products is built, high-efficiency mass production can be carried out according to the established model. I believe that it will not be long before large-scale equipment can be realized.
"Is the finished product ready?"
After getting a positive response from Cao Chun.
Cao Ang pointed to the fenced racecourse and ordered in a high tone: "Let's go, give it a try!"
…
The racecourse was originally open and empty.
It has been surrounded by some rags and messy things, so the inside cannot be seen from the outside.
I looked around to see how confidential the venue was.
Cao Ang nodded slightly with satisfaction.
Then he suddenly remembered something, slapped his forehead, and asked quickly.
"Have you not shown the drawings I gave you and the finished product you created to others?"
Cao Chun's head shook like a rattle.
"Don't worry, General. I know that this matter is of great importance. I will keep the drawings with me day and night. I can make sure that no one except a few old craftsmen has ever seen it!"
Cao Ang felt a little relieved.
But when I think about the importance of this three-piece set of harness, especially the bilateral stirrups, it is very difficult to imitate. All that is missing is an idea.
Once leaked, it would destroy most of the trump cards he had prepared for the future.
He still ordered with some caution: "You must closely monitor those craftsmen who have seen the drawings. It is best to move them and their families to the vicinity of the workshop, and then keep an eye on their whereabouts."
"Make sure they don't have any chance to leak these things about us to outsiders. Once anyone is found to have leaked the news, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Here!"
Cao Chun immediately raised his hands and clasped his fists.
Cao Ang responded with a serious voice.
Of course he knew the importance. War meant bloodshed, sacrifice, and death.
Therefore, anything related to war must not be neglected.
In times of war, bottomless compassion is even less valuable than a straw.
Just after answering the call.
Cao Chun still took a step forward hesitantly and asked in a low voice.
"General, what should the soldiers in the cavalry battalion do when they see these things during the horse trial, and when the brothers in the cavalry battalion are assembled on a large scale in the future?"
Watching a few craftsmen is easy.
But with such a large group of soldiers, if they all want to keep their mouths shut, there really aren't that many manpower.
To this.
After Cao Ang thought about it for a while.
He tapped his fingers gently on his thigh and said in a leisurely tone.
"We will invite the irrelevant personnel out later. The several soldiers who participated in the horse test will be deployed together afterwards to restrict their movements in a unified manner."
"As for large-scale assembly, it's better to put it aside for the time being and mass-produce it first. After it is built, it can be piled directly in the warehouse. There is no need to rush to start."
"When a war breaks out in the future and these harnesses are needed, it won't be too late to assemble them."
Things are arranged for this reason.
Some omissions have basically been plugged.
Unless someone noticed his father and son, they had such a small business and had nothing to do, so they sent someone to sneak into Dingtao County to investigate.
Otherwise, you'll be safe!
…
Open the fence.
The two entered the racecourse one after another.
According to the instructions just now, the irrelevant personnel have been driven out. At this moment, there is only one fully equipped ordinary war horse and three soldiers left in the field.
See this situation.
Cao Ang first walked to the side of the war horse, leaned down, looked at the tightly nailed horseshoes, patted the war horse's butt, and asked it to take two steps.
"Da da da!"
A very clear sound, completely different from the sound made by a light horse shoe stepping on the ground.
After confirming that the horseshoe will not fall off.
Cao Ang stepped on the stirrup on one side again, turned over and sat astride the horse.
very good!
The other foot also stepped on smoothly.
No matter whether he was shaking from side to side or whatever, with a solid support, Cao Ang could even try to stand up on the horse.
Satisfied, he smoothed the horse's hair.
Cao Ang turned over and jumped down.
Then he nodded to Cao Chun and said, "Let them come over and try it and see how it works."

Monthly ticket recommendation ticket
Thanks to the leader of the big brother, I should have added 20,000 words, but I haven’t saved the manuscript, so I will pay back 8,000 first.
Then counting the 2,000 words from the 500 monthly ticket and the 6,000 words from the heartbroken boss, the total is still owed 20,000, and I will pay it back as quickly as possible.
