Chapter 197: Father and Son
But Cao Cao is Cao Cao after all, and after a meal, his emotions were not affected much, and he asked me passionately as usual: "Is Xiaoqiang willing to help me extinguish Dongwu?" ”
This time it's my turn to be speechless, I really can't imagine that the old guy is still so thick-skinned as a prime minister, I said "okay", and the meaning is very clear, for example, if you sell popsicles and want to pull a cooperation, first lead him to see your popsicle car, and then ask him how he feels, if people say "very good, very potential for development", this is easy to do, but what people say is "I see that this place will lose money", and it would be too bad for you to pull people into the gang with a dead face.
Cao Cao wants to pull me to do this business now, so I won't go, if it's really a popsicle truck - he is all wooden, and there is really no place to run when it burns, if he listens to Cao Xiaoxiang and brings Ni Siyu, maybe he will consider it.
I walked up to Cao Cao and whispered, "Prime Minister, can you take a step to speak?" ”
Cao Cao was in the ascendant, and led me around for a while before going to land, and when I arrived at the living room, someone served tea, Cao Cao dismissed left and right, looked at me and said: "Say, what are you doing here, I know that you don't plan to help me." ”
He still doubts the purpose of my trip, so he got straight to the point, this kind of hero, Corporal Lixian and ruthless are the two basic qualities, all talents, can be pulled over to entrust the heavy responsibility, can not be pulled, the more capable you have, the more he has to kill and then fast, the battle is imminent, Cao Cao seems to have limited patience, fortunately my Xiaoqiang is still a talent in his eyes - the original tiger prison under the sentence "I still have more than enough Yong to Jia" is the right place to shout.
But I came to pull out the fire pot for him this time, although it was for his good, it looked like it was fire and scarred - now it is definitely easier to find death by letting him withdraw from the army than Hua Tuo letting him have a craniotomy, so I simply diverted the topic and said: "How many sons does the prime minister have?" ”
Cao Cao was stunned: "Why are you asking this?" ”
I said, "I'm going to be a dad too." ”
It was probably in the midst of Rong Ma and saying some trivial things that made Cao Cao quite relaxed. He smiled slightly: "Congratulations, when it comes to my son, there are too many." ”
I asked, "So which one do you like best?" ”
This topic is actually quite sensitive, if his advisers ask, Cao Cao will definitely turn his face, and the issue of heir succession has always been a taboo for people like them, especially in public. They will never show a special love for a certain son, one is for the safety of the heir, and the other is for their own authority, after all, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, and family affection in front of mountains and rivers is unreliable, from Qin Shi Huang to Li Shimin, to Zhao Kuangyin and Genghis Khan. \\\\\ every powerful monarch must have a bloody battle behind him, and Cao Cao in front of us is actually no exception, the second child of their family forced the third child to make that seven-step poem, the last two sentences are particularly famous, and have almost become a classic sentence that some people take others as soon as they eat braised pig's trotters...
However, the current Cao Cao hasn't thought so far, and the interlocutor is me, so he said bluntly: "Speaking of which, among the sons, Zihuan is sophisticated, calm, and quick-witted, and I like it very much, but it's a pity that the former is too good and scheming, and it is inevitable that the postoperative is flashy and untruthful, hey." It's hard to be perfect..."
I said, "The prime minister also has a son named Cao Chong, right?" I heard that this kid was smart and clever, and he invented equation substitution at a young age. ”
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao's face darkened, and he was silent, this generation of traitors, there are actually times when someone pokes the sore spot, I put the mobile phone in my sleeve and used a mind-reading technique on him, Cao Cao's heart is full of frustration at the moment. He thought: Chong'er is far better than his two elder brothers, if he hadn't died early at a young age, I wouldn't have to worry about choosing an heir...
Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, then forced himself to calm down, and pretended to take the tea slowly: "You haven't said what you're doing this time." ”
The conversation was very delicate. Now I only need to mention the war, and Lao Cao will kill me without hesitation, so I can only look at it and say, "Cao Chong, that little guy must be very cute, right?" ”
Cao Cao said as if he was angry with someone: "Of course! ”
"I heard that the prime minister often teaches him to dance the sword in person?"
"Huh?" Cao Cao raised his head in surprise, and couldn't help but smile: "The little guy is very smart, sometimes teaching him to learn is that we adults benefit a lot." As he spoke, he buried his face in the heat of his teacup, pretending to be drunk. I took the opportunity to wipe it. The sound is also unnatural.
I said tentatively: "Cao Chong's little guy is smart enough, but being an emperor may not be suitable." ”
Cao Cao almost subconsciously asked, "Why." How do you know I want Chong'er to take the throne? ”
I said, "To be an emperor is to be a ruthless master." ^^
"The next generation of emperors of our Cao family doesn't need to be ruthless." …
We went back and forth for a few words, and basically didn't think much about it, and when we finished speaking, we regretted that we couldn't take it back.
Cao Cao's face changed, and he barely concealed it: "What kind of ridiculous thing did Xiaoqiang say, how could Chong'er be the emperor?" ”
I simply said: "The prime minister doesn't have to hide it, admit that everyone at least calls you a man, and it's useless to cover it up, to say that you are now Sima Zhao's heart, and passers-by know it." ”
"Who is Sima Zhao?"
What a mouth! Why do you think I'm mentioning him at this time?
But Cao Cao didn't delve into it, he glanced at me, squinted and said: "You say you don't need to cover it up, then I'll just say it, I have to grasp this huge world sooner or later, it's a talent, I have to recruit it, if there is anyone who is not satisfied, I will kill it, my successor doesn't need to fight like me, he just needs to be able to govern, it's a pity..."
I nodded and said, "Well, it's like messing with the chef, picking up the garlic, washing and cutting the vegetables, and the chef just stir-frying." ”
Cao Cao looked at me and sneered: "Your analogy is very interesting. ”
I looked at his ambiguous eyes, it was broken, this was already murderous! There are some things that cannot be said explicitly, even if he is a beloved general. Understand his thoughts, and before the time comes, he can only call him prime minister, at this time, if Cao Cao openly claims to be the emperor, he will at least attract another group of powerful enemies for himself - I have been in Liangshan for a long time, and I am really not suitable for dealing with these people of the Three Kingdoms...
Seeing that Lao Cao was about to call the guards in his next sentence, I was anxious and said: "Prime Minister still remembers that Chong'er told you that the talents in the world will naturally be reused to help you." If you don't help you, it means that you still haven't done it, and it's also a good reference, what is that sentence called - only the virtuous live in the world. "This is the first time I've seen Cao Xiaoxiang, and he told me about the ground.
Cao Cao was stunned and said, "How do you know the land?" ”
I sighed and said, "How can I say it, you are his biological father and I am his adoptive father, and we are serious old brothers." ”
Cao Cao said angrily: "What do you mean! ”
"The little one is actually alive..."
Cao Cao laughed angrily and shouted: "Someone! ”
I hurriedly waved my hand and said, "I don't believe I let him talk to you." ”
At this time, a group of soldiers rushed in with a sword rattling. Just waiting for Cao Cao's order, I turned on my phone and showed him while dialing: "You can hear his voice right away, don't you want to see your son again?" I shook the phone at him, "It's not too late for me to lie to you, you won't lose anything by killing me, but if you really do you will regret it for the rest of your life, I repeat - the little guy is not actually dead, I was with him every day some time ago: he likes to eat salty things, and always kicks the quilt from left to right when he sleeps at night, and. He's most afraid of you tickling him with your beard..."
Cao Cao was completely stunned, he looked at the strange locket in my hand, listened to the last few words I said, and was as stunned as he was speechless, as if he was talking to me and muttering to himself: "What if you lie to me..." He waved weakly to the guards, "Stand down." ”
I was also touched by this, father and son. This generation of traitors also has such a lost soul, although in his opinion I am obviously lying to him, but I still don't want to miss this one-ten-thousandth hope, at this moment, he is an ordinary father...
I called Mulan. Said eagerly: "Let the little elephant answer the phone, his father is jealous and wants to kill me to vent his anger!" ”
Hua Mulan said anxiously: "My brother led the baby elephant up the mountain to hunt, why didn't you say it earlier, or I will lead the army to rescue you now?" ”
“… Forget it, when you come, the daylily will be cold. ”
I sat on the ground and said to Cao Cao, "Kill me, I know I can't tell you." ”
Cao Cao stared at my phone for a long time. Suddenly, he said, "Who are you?" Although I didn't talk to Cao Xiaoxiang. But someone on the other side of the box answered that he had heard. I said weakly: "If you want to be an immortal, I won't object, but of course the immortal won't just let you kill you." I know this is a paradox, in short, it is born from the same root, why not be in a hurry to fry each other, you can watch and do it. ”
Cao Cao said resolutely: "If I go with you, can you guarantee that I will be able to see my son?" ”
I scrambled to my feet: "That's what I'm here for." ”
Cao Cao looked me straight in the eyes, his gaze burning, as if he was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, and finally he slapped his hand on my shoulder: "I'll go with you!" ”
I knew that the fish had been hooked, and now it was time to walk him a few laps to relieve his hatred, so I deliberately said: "You think about it, if I lie to you, not only will your life be lost, but your world will also be gone. "I have to stimulate him to see how heavy the baby elephant is in his heart, and I am not psychologically balanced to send such a good son back.
Cao Cao said: "How do we go?" When he was done, he said, "If you can ride the clouds, I can trust you completely." ”
Hey, this damn old man! I said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, let's take a taxi." "I definitely can't sit in that car, otherwise I have to cross the river and go back to Xiakou, I'm afraid that Lao Cao's bottom line will collapse, and besides, can our Zhang Sanye let go of such a good opportunity to kill Cao?
I contacted Liu Lao Liu and asked him to open a temporary military route, and we marched from Wulin.
When I entered the military road, I said worriedly, "If you don't have a car, it will break down." "Chibi will start fighting in three days, this is a new road, and we don't know how long it will take to walk through.
I was looking left and right, when suddenly a carriage came running from the intersection, and I hurriedly beckoned: "Carbon! ”
The car came to the front, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "General Xiao, is it you?" ”
As soon as I saw that this person really knew the black tiger under Xiang Yu, I pushed Cao Cao into the car and beckoned: "You also ran away for a taxi?" ”
When the black tiger saw the old man at first glance, he said happily: "Yes, our brothers did a lot of this in the past, and Liu Bang also exempted us from a part of the tax." As he spoke, he pressed the "Empty Car" sign on the horse's head and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go to the Northern Wei Dynasty, General Mulan's - how much is it?"
The black tiger said unhappily: "Look at what you said, do you think I can take your money?" This is the first time I've come here, so I'll be a trainer. ”
I took out the Yucai coin and pushed it with the black tiger for a long time, and finally forced him to stuff it in his pocket.
Cao Cao watched us chatting for a long time, and said to me depressedly: "With all due respect, this is really not like a place for immortals. ”
