Chapter 313 Trust your son-in-law more than your son?
"Now it seems that my father is indeed a lucky man!"

Seeing Cao Zhi's excited expression, Cao Cao also smiled reluctantly:
"The lights are out. Isn't it already daybreak?"

"Where does this lucky person come from?"

"If your father had good fortune, he wouldn't have done that."

As he said this, he seemed to have pulled the wound and immediately gasped!
"Father!" Seeing this, Cao Zhi hurried forward and helped Cao Cao lean against the edge of the bed.

"Father, please lie down and take a rest."

Cao Cao sighed when he heard this, but then he stopped being pretentious.

"Never mind, I am indeed a little tired."

Having said that, he lay down and rested with the help of Cao Zhi.

At this time, Cao Cao saw that there were only him and his son in the tent.

I couldn't help but ask, "Where is Ziwen?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhi quickly replied:

"Third brother went to help the uncles sort out the weapons."

Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this.

Finally, I sat on the bed and tried to concentrate on thinking:

"Now that we have crossed the Wei River, I believe the horse will not dare to chase us anymore."

"But we can't care about that now. We are still by the river?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhang quickly replied:

"Yes, the roughness of the boat is really not the place to provide medical treatment."

"We had no choice but to carry father up here."

"As for the march, father, don't worry."

"When the decision was made to gouge out the arrow for my father."

"Military Advisor Xun and Uncle Zixiao have already discussed it."

"Ask General Zhang He to lead his troops westward to confuse the enemy."

“It’s been a long time now.”

"That's good." Cao Cao also nodded at this time.

"How long did the army stop here because of my injury?"

Cao Zhi also answered truthfully: "From last night till now."

"Have all the personnel been gathered?"

"This." Cao Zhi couldn't help but look embarrassed.

He stayed by his father's side all night.

How would I know what's going on outside?

It was about sending Zhang He to lead his troops to create confusion.

It was my third brother who told me.

When Cao Cao heard him say this, he also sighed.

Thinking of my son, although he is very talented.

But he never cared about military affairs.

Instead of asking him about this, you might as well call someone else in.

Thinking of this, Cao Cao suddenly felt dizzy.

Perhaps because he was lacking in strength at the moment, he had to grit his teeth.

He simply ordered: "Call the military officers immediately, I have something to tell you!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhi did not dare to delay and immediately opened the tent and ran out.

He then brought back a group of civil and military officials from the army.

Cao Cao looked around at this time and saw everyone except his two sons.

Xun You, Lou Gui, Jia Xu, Cao Ren and Xiahou Yuan were all there.

The entire central military tent was packed.

At this moment, they were all looking at me eagerly!

However, these people obviously looked unhappy.

Apparently he had been busy all night.

It was Sima De who was standing next to Cao Zhang.

But he just yawned, and was obviously in much better spirits than others.

Cao Cao had no time to think about it and could only get to the point as soon as possible.

"It's daybreak now."

"Then the soldiers should have rested well."

"Have all the food and supplies been prepared?"

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister!" Xun You also responded quickly.

"We dare not slack off in the slightest."

Cao Cao nodded upon hearing this.

"In that case, I should also leave."

Seeing this, Cao Zhi hurried forward to support him.

Everyone was a little nervous when they saw this, fearing that Cao Cao's move would make his injury worse.

"Does father-in-law mean that we should hurry on our way?"

Sima De also asked when he saw this.

"Before the enemy can react?"

"Of course it is!" Cao Cao forced himself to answer.

"It is better for me to suffer a little now than to die here."

"After all, the river is too close here."

"If the Guanzhong coalition forces come out in full force, will our army still have to fight a desperate battle?"

"I can't rest without being able to set up camp for a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the civil and military officers in the army looked at each other in silence, but nodded one after another.

"However, even if we retreat, we must maintain our formation and combat power..."

Cao Cao continued to force himself to order:
"We need to gather the wounded, along with the laborers and baggage."

"Form a central army and follow me."

"Zihe led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to clear the way five miles ahead."

"Zixiao took the remaining people and served as the rear guard of Houwuli."

"Yes!" Everyone agreed loudly.

"At this point, those who didn't catch up are fine."

Cao Cao sighed again, "Now that we have crossed the river, I dare not say that I will not lose anyone."

"But we must try our best to bring them back home."

"Even if he dies, he will have to find a bad horse to carry him back for burial..."

"I am injured and unable to handle camp affairs. I just hope you can work together!"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this.

Just as he was about to speak, Cao Cao waved at Sima De and said:

"Renda..."

Sima De was also stunned when he heard this, and then quickly took a few steps forward.

"I am ill now, and it is difficult for me to handle major military affairs."

As he spoke, Cao Cao slowly sat up straight.

"From now on, the entire army will be in your care!"

"One hundred thousand troops, at your disposal!"

"If the situation is dire, you can just act accordingly."

As Cao Cao spoke, he took out half of the tiger talisman from his waist and handed it directly to Sima De.

Sima De was also stunned the moment he took the tiger talisman.

The civil and military officials around were all stunned at this moment!
Even Cao Cao's personal guard general Xu Chu was stunned at this moment.

This tiger talisman is a token of the commander of the army!

Before this, the prime minister would not easily bestow the tiger talisman even on a clan general.

After all, this can be done without asking for permission.

It is proof that one can mobilize troops and act in accordance with one's rights.

Moreover, in Cao's army today, the tiger talisman is more valuable than the fake imperial seal and axe!
Now, in front of everyone, the Prime Minister entrusted the three armies to Sima De.

Behind them are the most elite Tiger and Leopard Cavalry in Cao’s army.

Sima De, who holds the tiger talisman, can also mobilize troops at will!

With this tiger talisman in hand, I wonder how many generals will be jealous of it.

After all, this represents Prime Minister Cao's extraordinary trust in him.

Such important things have been given away.

This shows how much Cao Cao valued Sima De.

You know, the two gentlemen standing next to them didn’t have this treatment!
Could it be that, compared to his own biological son?

Does Prime Minister Cao trust Sima De as his son-in-law more?

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other with different expressions.

Sima De was naturally a little nervous at this moment as he was holding such a heavy item.

If you say you're not moved, you're definitely kidding a fool.

If any fool offends him in the future, he will just show his tiger talisman.

By pulling out the Qingguang sword from his waist, he could dismember the opponent's body.

And afterwards, no one could find any fault at all.

After all, it is wartime now, and with the tiger talisman on him, it is like Prime Minister Cao himself coming.

Who is so blind as to dare to be so presumptuous?
Even Sima De had disliked someone before.

Now, even if we go over and chop him with a sword, no one dares to catch him.

Of course, that kid Yang Xiu is not worth the risk.

Moreover, this tiger talisman is a hot potato to him now!
