The book is picked up again.

After Cao Cao heard Guo Tu's words, he glanced at him, nodded with a smile, and said, "A certain family didn't think much about it, it was just a joke, Mr. Guo shouldn't care too much." ”

After saying this, he changed his words, stared at Guo Tu and asked, "But looking at Mr. Guo's face, it seems that this letter has other feelings?" ”

After finishing speaking, Cao Cao's face was full of banter.

"Crunch, crunch......" After Guo Tu heard Cao Cao's words, he almost didn't bite his back molars.

Then, he raised his head sharply and looked at Cao Cao, gritted his teeth and said: "Cao Gong, there are some things that you and I know well, why do you need to say it, read the letter!" ”

In fact, when Guo Tu came, he was sternly admonished by Yuan Shao.

Let him not take out the epistle until the matter has been settled.

Because the letter is full of soft words.

If they hadn't reached an agreement yet, Guo Tu would have taken out the letter, which would be equivalent to Yuan Shao giving in to Cao Cao.

But if they wait until they have finished their negotiations and then take out this letter, it will be nothing.

At this time, this letter was just an ordinary correspondence between friends, and no matter what was said in it, it would not involve business and face.

And Cao Cao discovered this, so he doubled his ridicule of Guo Tu several times.

After Guo Tu heard Cao Cao's ridicule several times, he also knew that Cao Cao must have sensed his lord's intentions.

So he closed his eyes tightly, didn't say a word, and let Cao Cao tease.

Cao Cao looked at Guo Tu, who had his eyes closed tightly and didn't say a word, and after pouting his lips rather boringly, he stopped teasing him, picked up the letter and read it carefully.

"Brother Meng Dewu, seeing the letter is like meeting, a few days ago, the foolish and loyal retainer Zhang He Xu Yu ............"

After Cao Cao read the letter, he was stunned for a moment, and then sneered.

He found that although Yuan Shao's letter seemed to be soft on the surface, if you look closely, you will find that there are many threatening words in it.

"Huh!" After discovering this, Cao Cao laughed, shook his head, and muttered to himself: "Brother Ben, Brother Ben, you are still the same character as you were at the beginning, and you are so domineering even if you are soft.

Aren't you afraid that someone will be angry and fight with you?! ”

Guo Tu was not far from Cao Cao, so he also heard Cao Cao's whispered voice.

After understanding Cao Cao's words, Guo Tu's face changed, and he was afraid that things would repeat again.

So he hurriedly explained: "Duke Cao, my lord has no intention of humiliating Duke Cao!"

These days, my father-in-law has been in poor health and has a somewhat irritable personality.

Therefore, when writing letters, it is inevitable that I will be a little impatient, and I ask Cao Gong to forgive me. ”

"Hehe......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Tu's words, he shook his head with a chuckle and said, "It's okay, doesn't a certain family still understand the character of the first brother?" ”

Now, since everything has been negotiated, Cao Cao doesn't bother to pay attention to such a trivial matter.

Even if Yuan Shao's letters were full of scolding him, he didn't care.

However, after hearing Guo Tu's explanation, he still said with a bad taste: "Since the first brother is sick, then a certain family as his younger brother can't help but express something." ”

After saying this, he turned his head and instructed the guards on the side: "Go and prepare a good tonic on the carriage and give it to Brother Benchu, so that he can replenish his body well." ”

After giving the order, Cao Cao turned his gaze to Guo Tu again, and said narrowly: "Mr. Guo, when you go back, you must bring the medicinal materials of this carriage.

Tell the first brother that a certain family is entangled in mundane matters and cannot visit him in person, and hopes to forgive his sins, and the medicinal materials in this carriage should be regarded as reparation. ”

When Guo Tu heard this, he laughed embarrassedly, the reason why he said that Yuan Shao was sick just now was just a casual reason, how could he have thought that Cao Cao would grasp this point.

However, Guo Tu inevitably had a repetition of things and could not go back on his words.

So after he nodded, he said, "A certain family must bring Cao Gong's original words." ”

Although he said yes, he complained frantically in his heart: "I'm crazy to bring this medicinal herb back!"

What's the difference between bringing a cart of medicinal herbs back and cursing my lord?

When the time comes, my father-in-law will not be able to skin me?

However, now I have to respond first, and after I get out of Xuzhou, I will immediately find a place to throw this medicinal herb away!

No! You can't throw it away, it's also a precious medicinal herb, find a place to sell it, and maybe you can get a lot of money. ”

After making up his mind, Guo Tu finally had a smile on his face.

Cao Cao also guessed his plan after seeing the smile on the rabbit's face.

However, Cao Cao didn't want Guo Tu to get out so easily, so he said: "That's good, I hope that Brother Ben Chu can get better sooner after receiving the medicinal materials from a certain family." ”

After finishing speaking, he suddenly seemed to think of something, smiled maliciously at Guo Tu, and said, "Mr. Guo, don't forget about this." ”

"Can't forget, can't forget......" After Guo Tu saw the smile on Cao Cao's face, a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart, so he quickly nodded and said, "Cao Gong, don't worry."

When a certain family goes back, they must hand over Cao Gong's medicinal materials to the lord completely. ”

"Hehe......" After Cao Cao heard Guo Tu's words, he chuckled and said: "Maybe Mr. Guo forgot about it, and a certain family will also send a letter back to Brother Benchu." ”

After finishing speaking, he ignored Guo Tu, whose face had turned the color of pig liver, and took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone from a small grid on the side, and after dipping it in ink, Long Fei Feng danced and wrote.

"Boom......"

After writing for a while, he put down the brush in his hand, lifted the paper on the table, looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.

Subsequently......

"Huh......" He blew the ink on the paper, folded the letter a few times, and stuffed it into the envelope of the letter that Yuan Shao gave him.

When he had done all this, he handed the letter to one of the guards beside him, and commanded, "Go, let this letter be sealed with fire paint." ”

Hearing this, the guard took the letter with both hands, answered it, and hurried away.

After a while......

The guard walked in again, respectfully handed the letter to Cao Cao, and said, "My lord, the fire paint has been sealed. ”

"Hmm!" Cao Cao patted the envelope in his hand that had been sealed with fire paint with satisfaction, raised his hand and handed it to Guo Tu, and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo, in this letter, there is not only a certain family sending medicinal materials to the first brother, but also some official affairs between a certain family and the first brother.

Therefore, sir, do not lose this letter, or else he will be guilty of a great sin! ”

"......" Guo Tu's face became even more ugly when he heard this, and after taking the letter, he said hatefully: "Please rest assured that Duke Cao, a certain family will not lose this letter, and he will definitely be sent to the lord's hands!" ”

After finishing speaking, Guo Tu lowered his head with an ugly face, and sighed in his heart: "It's over, it seems that after going back, not only will there be no credit, but you will get a reprimand, maybe you will have to be punished with a cane!" ”

Guo Tu now hates Cao Cao very much, and he knows that the reason why Cao Cao did this is to harm him.

Originally, he planned to discard Cao Cao's letter, but Cao Cao clearly told him that there were many important things in this letter.

If he loses it, it will delay Yuan Shao's big event!

Of course, Guo Tu would not believe Cao Cao's statement.

He felt that the reason why Cao Cao said this was because he saw that he wanted to discard the letter, so he would scare him so much.

But even if there is only a 1 in 10,000 chance, Guo Tu does not dare to gamble!

Therefore, Guo Tu can only accept his fate!

"Hehe......" Looking at Guo Tu with a decadent face, Cao Cao touched his beard and laughed softly.

The reason why he did this, in addition to wanting to take a breath, also meant to separate Guo Tu and Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao has known Yuan Shao for so long, he knows Yuan Shao too well.

If it is in official affairs, Yuan Shao can indeed distinguish rewards and punishments.

But when it came to himself, he was never sensible!

Therefore, Cao Cao believed that once Guo Tu brought back this letter and the cart of medicinal materials, Yuan Shao would definitely be furious.

At that time, Guo Tu will inevitably be implicated, although it is unlikely that Guo Tu will leave Yuan Shao immediately.

But it can leave a knot in Guo Tu's heart!

And as long as Guo Tu leaves a knot in his heart, then Cao Cao's goal has been achieved, he doesn't want to recruit Guo Tu, he just wants to disturb the forces under Yuan Shao's command.

As long as it can damage Yuan Shao's power, Cao Cao is willing to do it!
