Luoyang City, No. 9 Jinwu Lane.

In the courtyard, Cao Shuo was appreciating Cao Ang's brother practicing martial arts with great interest, Cao Ang was a little wooden, but his talent for martial arts was very high, and he had studied with the martial artist for a few days, and he was already presentable... The key is that Cao Ang practiced martial arts very carefully, and his foundation was also very solid, and he was especially able to endure hardships.

Cao Shuo also tried to dance a few times, but it was much more difficult than expected.

He is still self-aware, if he really wants to talk about kung fu, Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Taekwondo or something before the crossing, it is estimated that in ancient times, he would be killed by a knife!

After all, in this era, the knife licks blood, and kung fu is used to kill, and the kung fu in the previous life, the significance of competition is far greater than killing.

Scratching his head, in martial arts, Cao Shuo simply gave up, his talent was limited, and he really couldn't learn this kung fu.

Thinking of this, Cao Shuo suddenly remembered Liu Sandao, Xing Daorong, and Pan Feng, the three pit goods, then again, in some time, they should almost come back, right? No, really took your own money? Oiling the soles of your feet? Ran away, right?

Of course, in Cao Shuo's view, it is unreliable to hand over his life to them... However, it's better than nothing, not to mention, Cao Shuo is looking forward to their transformation plan!

……

Ahem...

coughed, but saw Cao Song slowly walk into the gate of Cao's mansion.

Today, the old man Cao Song came back very early, but he seemed to be very tired, after all, he went to the East City Gate to see Cao Cao off early in the morning, and rushed to the court, a person in his fifties, his body is far less than when he was young and can withstand the toss.

"Awn? Why do you look so tired? Seeing Cao Song walking in slowly, Cao Shuo took the initiative to ask...

"Oh!" Cao Song waved his hand. "It's nothing, the affairs of the court are related to the conquest of Xianbei, Your Majesty and the Xiongnu Zhonglang General Lu Zhi have different views!"

Not? Levy Xianbei? Cao Shuo pondered... Historically, after Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty succeeded to the throne, Xianbei was not a good neighbor, just like traveling south, he had to loot several times a year.

Thinking of this, Cao Shuo was quite curious about the dispute between the Son of Heaven and Lu Zhi.

… Cao Song saw Cao Shuo's big eyes full of curiosity and a wisp of beard. "Shuo'er wants to hear it?"

Cao Shuo nodded.

Cao Song simply sat down, watching the eldest grandson Cao Ang in front of him practice his sword, and at the same time telling Cao Shuo about the battle in Xianbei, Lu Zhi's views, and the attitude of the Son of Heaven in the court.

Cao Shuo listened while recalling the contents of the ancient books in his memory.

In fact, during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, he also made a very tough response to Xianbei, a very unfriendly neighbor.

It was five years ago, in the sixth year of Xiping, in the fourth lunar month, Xianbei attacked the northern border fortress of the Han Dynasty;

In the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Han Dynasty sent Wuhuan Captain Xia Yu from Gaoliu County, broke Xianbei Zhonglang will Tian Ying from Yunzhong County, Xiongnu Zhonglang will Zang Min and the Southern Xiongnu Shan Yu from Yanmen Pass, three roads at the same time sent troops to attack Xianbei, out of the fortress for more than 1,000 miles, the result is a big defeat, and there is no one out of ten soldiers and horses!

It was also this scene that Emperor Ming invaded the Xiongnu in the north, restored the style of the Western Regions, and defeated all of them in this dynasty...

What is more terrible than the soldiers of the three armies dying in a foreign land in vain is the old capital accumulated by the treasury for decades, and all the forged weapons, armor, and equipment have been wasted.

Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, understands this best, if he really wants to take the initiative, it is absolutely impossible to have tens of thousands of coins! But where does the money come from?

Treasury... Hehe! It would be nice not to owe the soldiers of the three armies a good fortune, forging weapons and armor? How can there be such spare money!

That? Take the private money of Liu Hong, the son of heaven? It's even more! Liu Hong, the son of heaven who loves money like his life, asked him to pay for it, but the only way to tie him up directly and force him to hand over the key to Wanjintang is possible!

From this point of view, Lu Zhi's counterattack on Xianbei, this very reliable idea, eighty percent is about to run aground...

Of course, there is only one way, find a way to cheat the clan's money, although it is a bit of a loss, but it is a good way, but well, this requires the cooperation of Liu Hong, the son of heaven, and you have to find a person to dump the pot!

Cao Shuo's brain is running fast, if the plan goes well, if the money for Xianbei is levied, the clan will really pay for it?

Now, what he needs to think about is to take this opportunity to let the Cao family get enough benefits! For example, military power! Even the military power of an army of 1,000 people is very important in this world that is not too peaceful!

It seems that he has to find an opportunity to do business with Liu Hong, the son of heaven.

Cao Shuo put his hands on his chin, and his thoughts were still floating in the sky.

Cao Song saw that he listened to it with relish, and he didn't bother, this young grandson always likes to ponder, this is a good thing... Smart children always love to think!

……

At this time.

"Cao Dasi Nong, you... You come out for me! ”

The sound was like a bell, and his steps were like the wind, but he saw a tall and sturdy man who broke directly into the compound of Cao's mansion. The door tried to stop it, but three or five doors couldn't stop it at all. It looks polite, but in fact, it's very energetic!

Cao Song is looking for prestige, but he is not the Hun Zhonglang general Lu Zhi? Who else could there be? Why did you come to Cao's house for this goods?

Cao Song's face sank, he knew Lu Zhi's character very well, eighty percent of it was because of the matter of raising money, thinking of this, he thought in his heart, this guy, I'm afraid it's not easy to deal with!

"It turned out to be Lord Lu Zhi, the general of the Huns."

Cao Song stood up and greeted him, with a smile on his face, Huan Hai has been in the sea for many years, he has already practiced the ability to see people and talk about people, and to see ghosts, in the face of such a stubborn person as Lu Zhi, don't go around the corner, just tell him his difficulties. "Lord Lu Zhi, you're here... It must be for the sake of Cao Song's non-donation of military expenses! I... I'm in trouble! ”

"I'm thinking, Cao Dasinong is deliberately prevaricating in the main hall, right?" Lu Zhi stood with his hands in his hands, with a hint of blame between his eyebrows, obviously there was anger in his chest!

Not... Is he Lu Zhi? Straight man of steel - Lu Zhi?

Cao Shuo thought slightly, according to legend, this Lu Zhi is not close to women, in the past, when his master Ma Rong was lecturing, he always had to prepare some singers to perform songs and dances, and lecture while admiring the beauties, but these dancers were dressed very revealingly.

Now... made the other students focus on the dancing girl, but it was this Lu Zhi, whose face was not red, he was not panting, and he was so focused on his studies that he never looked at the dancer next to him.

When Cao Shuo read this when he was studying, he once doubted that there would be no problem with Lu Zhi's orientation... At the first sight of him today, I can be sure from his rough and loud voice that he must be straight! Completely non-existent... The question of orientation is simply a straight man of steel!

……

"Lord Lu, I, Cao Song, am in trouble!"

Cao Song repeated it again, and immediately led Lu Zhi to sit on a stone bench in the courtyard, at this time Cao Ang stopped dancing the sword, Cao Shuo's thoughts were also taken back, and the two children stood on Cao Song's left and right.

"These are your two grandchildren?" Lu Zhi asked.

"Exactly." Cao Song replied.

"I've seen Lu Zhiweng!" Cao Shuo and Cao Ang said in unison, saluted, and seemed very polite.

Lu Zhi nodded, and his words were meaningful. "Cao Dasi Nong, your two grandchildren are white and pure, they want to eat and drink, and their lives are quite nourishing! But have you thought about it? Those people on the border? They also have sons? Also have grandchildren? Their sons and grandsons must face the scimitar of the Xianbei Huqi! When you are hungry and hungry, and you are worried about your life at any time, don't you have the slightest sympathy? ”

When this question was raised, Lu Zhi glanced at Cao Shuo and Cao Ang again, his eyes full of expectation... He is a person who cares about the suffering of the people, and he is so looking forward to Cao Song being on his side!

But Cao Song is still the same sentence..."Lord Lu Zhi, I have a hard time!" ”
