"I thought you could really pinch and calculate, and there are things you can't guess."

Previously, Liu Ping had anticipated the enemy's opportunities in everything and never made a mistake, which gave Cao Ang a feeling that Liu Ping had the ability to predict the future.

But Liu Ping couldn't guess the content of his father's letter, and Cao Ang couldn't help but be stunned.

It seems that the virtuous brother is just a mortal.

He said as he opened the letter.

"Father actually asked us to dedicate the jade seal to the Son of Heaven," Cao Ang read it, and handed the letter to Liu Ping casually.

Liu Ping took the letter and read it casually, and he didn't feel strange about his father-in-law's arrangement.

After all, he knew that although his father-in-law was only one name away from the emperor in the end, he never pierced the layer of window paper in his life.

In fact, it is easy to understand that Cao Cao is a person who pays attention to benefits, he has a monopoly on power, and he is unwilling to reach a compromise with the noble clan, so that he was opposed by so many people when he later entered the Duke of Wei and became the king of Wei.

After Cao Pi inherited the foundation of the Cao family, he chose to implement the nine-product Zhongzheng system, which greatly guaranteed the interests of the scholar group, so those scholars took the initiative to put Cao Pi on the throne of the emperor.

In the final analysis, it is a question of whether or not they are willing to share power with the clan group.

"What's the matter, my father-in-law doesn't want the jade seal, and my eldest brother is unhappy?" Liu Ping saw that Cao Ang was silent in thought, and couldn't help but joke.

"What's upset about the foolish brother?" Cao Ang replied casually.

"If my father-in-law can become a great treasure, my eldest brother will be the prince, doesn't my eldest brother want to?" Liu Ping smiled faintly.

Now Cao Ang is alive and kicking, his status is unshakable, and it will no longer be Cao Pi who will inherit Cao's foundation in the future, but Cao Ang, which is what Liu Ping tried his best to promote.

And this thing is moving forward in an orderly manner.

"Foolish brother as a prince?"

Cao Ang seemed to be taken aback by Liu Ping's words, stared at the people around him with wide eyes, and said in a low voice with a serious face: "Brother Xian, what are you kidding, this is not nonsense.

Haven't you seen the fate of Yuan Shu yet? Then Yuan Yao is still locked up by us. ”

"It turns out that the eldest brother doesn't have this mind, it's the younger brother who thinks too much,"

Looking at Cao Ang's appearance, Liu Ping knew that it was too early to tell him this, after all, there were thirteen states in the world, and the Cao family only had two states, and there was still a powerful Yuan Shao in the north.

"Since the father-in-law has no intention of the jade seal, then the eldest brother should go to the court and report to His Majesty.

Recovering the jade seal is an immortal feat for today's Han family. ”

Previously, they did not understand Cao Cao's intentions, so they won the battle, and the news of regaining the jade seal was never revealed to the imperial court.

Now that Cao Cao has no intention of touching the jade seal, then as the southern expeditionary army of the imperial court, they should repay the merit to the Son of Heaven.

"That's right, I'll report it," Cao Ang nodded.

After a while, Cao Ang said worriedly: "In my father's letter, let us pacify the people as soon as possible and withdraw the army as soon as possible."

Although my father did not mention it in the letter, the foolish brother could guess that now I am afraid that the situation in the north is tense.

It seems that we can't delay too long in Shouchun. ”

It turned out that Cao Ang had been worried about this.

Liu Ping's expression also became solemn, and he sighed and said: "Now that our territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the Son of Heaven is in our hands, it will definitely be intolerable to Yuan Shao."

Therefore, sooner or later we will have a battle with Yuan Shao, which is inevitable. ”

According to the time calculation, the battle of Guandu, which will determine the fate of the Cao family, is just around the corner, and it is no wonder that the father-in-law will urge them to withdraw their troops quickly.

"Yuan Shao occupies the land of Sizhou, and he has 200,000 elite soldiers, which can be described as strong and strong.

Usually, I always see Cao Ang being very arrogant, and he looks like he doesn't care about anything, but now he is full of sadness and sighs.

Yuan Shao is not an ordinary enemy, his soldiers are brave and brave, Wen You, Tian Feng, Xu You, Guo Tu, Wu Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Ran and others, in terms of strength, it is indeed much stronger than the Cao family.

"Big brother, don't worry, we will definitely win this battle," Liu Ping said firmly.

"You're not an immortal, how can you really pinch it?" Cao Ang rolled his eyes.

Liu Ping: "......"

……

It's been a full day since the full pet grabbed Buttu.

Butu was one of the few people who could accurately grasp the date of the expedition of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and he found silk silk produced in Xuzhou in Butu's residence, which was conclusive evidence and irrefutable in the eyes of Manzhong.

Next, just let Butu open his mouth and confess his guilt, and everything will be fine.

But one day, the full favor exhausted the punishment, and Butu was beaten to the flesh, but what he got was only three words, I don't know.

This inevitably makes the full pet a little helpless.

"Manfujun, if you continue to be tortured like this, this person's life will not be guaranteed, so it is better to ......"

In the cold and damp dungeon, the scribe glanced ill-intentioned at Butu, who had fainted from the pillar, and made a downward gesture with his right hand.

Since Butu didn't admit his guilt when he died, they couldn't even make a trick by beating him, so it was better to beat him to death directly, and then put all the blame on Butu, so that Cao Cao would have an explanation after a few days.

"No," Man Chong hesitated slightly, and then categorically vetoed: "After all, this person was brought back from the grassland by Ping Gongzi, if there is no real confession, he will die in my hands, and when Ping Gongzi returns to the army, how can he be reconciled with me?" ”

In fact, as a cool official, Man Chong has handled a lot of unjust, false and wrongful cases, but he really can't catch the criminal, just find a big unjust head top tank, this kind of thing has not been done.

But who is that right, after all, Butu was brought back by Liu Ping from the grassland to raise horses, if he was killed without any confession, Liu Ping came back to him to ask for the guilt, he couldn't bear it.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that at present, he could not rule out the possibility that this grassland man was really framed.

It's just that Buttu can't tell the source of the silks, and he can't be sure.

"Let's think about it again and find other corroboration," Man Zhong rubbed his forehead and sighed.

"However, after so many days, what else can I do?" The scribe shook his head.

"Regardless of whether this grassland man was framed or not, these silk silks are an important clue." Man Pet took two steps back and forth, and said in a deep voice: "Now that the war is in chaos, Xuzhou and our side are hostile, Xu Du rashly appeared so many Xuzhou silk silks, this is worth investigating."

As long as you find the people who put this batch of silk into operation, it will be clear at a glance whether the grassland people have been wronged. ”

Regardless of whether Butu was framed or really collaborated with the enemy, as long as he found the person who sent the silk silk to Butu, he would naturally be able to ask the truth.

Moreover, there are so many silk silks, it is impossible to transport them by holding their hands and shoulders, and they must use horse-drawn carriages.

In this era, the carriage was not something that ordinary people had, it had to be owned by wealthy families or court officials, so the scope was much narrower.

"Send the order to go down, search the whole city, focus on the mansions of court officials who have had old friendships with Liu Bei, and report to me as soon as possible if you find the same silk silk," Man Zhong ordered.
