Cao Cao sent a letter to his father, wanting him to move in with him, either Chen Liu or Yingchuan.

Cao Song looked at the letter sent by his eldest son, with a look of emotion, he was indeed a little happy, but he didn't expect that his eldest son, Cao Cao, who was short and ugly, actually took advantage of Yuan Shu to go south and beat Yingchuan, which was really beyond his expectations.

Cao Cao has now won a rich land, sitting on the land of two counties, with more than 100,000 soldiers under his command, how to say that he is also a prince in the current era.

Cao Song saw that his beloved second son Cao De had become a generation of Confucians, although he was not good at the art of war, but he was good at education!

The problem of educating the descendants of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, Cao De should be able to solve it, so it is okay for him to take out the hidden savings of the Cao family to fund his eldest son, what if he really dominates the world?

Cao Song is really satisfied with having a son who can prosper the family and a son who can unite the family, so this time he plans to take out his coffin book and expand his son's strength.

Cao Song is quite satisfied with the status quo, and the family is becoming more prosperous, which is what he wants to see the most.

Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou, since Liu Bei and Cao Cao went out of Yuzhou and attacked Yuan Shu on a large scale, he had a great fear of Liu Bei and Cao Cao in his heart.

Tao Qian felt that he could not compete with either Liu Bei and Cao Cao, although he sat on the rich Xuzhou, but the soldiers and horses were not strong, the quantity was okay, and the quality was not high.

Tao Qian is already old and decrepit, and he doesn't have much energy to take care of these things, he just wants to find a backer for his son, Xuzhou is his bargaining chip, and the current Liu Bei and Cao Cao are in his consideration.

Therefore, Tao Qian's attitude towards these two sides has always been more flattering, and whoever is stronger will give Xuzhou to whom!

As for the Yuan family in Yuzhou, I originally thought it was a backer, but I didn't expect it to go to the south, so I couldn't rely on Yuan Shu now, so I could only rely on these two neighboring princes.

Originally, he was more optimistic about Liu Bei, but if it has not been determined yet, it will naturally depend on the situation, for Tao Qian, Liu Bei and Cao Cao are like fish and bear's paws, you can't have both!

But he Tao Qian currently has a choice, so when Tao Qian heard that Cao Song was leaving Xuzhou, he set up a banquet and sent someone to call Cao Song over for the banquet.

Tao Qian has an appointment, Cao Song will naturally go to the appointment, after all, in Xuzhou, no matter how big Cao Song is, he doesn't dare to refuse Tao Qian, right?

That night, after the guests were full of wine and food, Tao Qian let the others go back first, and pulled Cao Song to start chatting.

"Huge! You are very knowledgeable, and I will ask you a question.

What do you say is Xuzhou, a major grain producer in the Central Plains, worth in this troubled era? ”

Tao Qian said with a smile on his face, looking quite gentle.

"Huh? What does Gongzu mean by this? Please make it clear! ”

Cao Song frowned slightly, sensing that there must be a deep meaning in this statement, but he wanted to hear what Tao Qian meant.

"I'm old, I don't have enough energy, and it's a bit hard for me to run a state. I hope Jugao can help recommend a virtuous man when the time comes, do you see what I mean? ”

Tao Qian was like a patient with a severe cough, he began to cough after saying a few words, he drank a little too much just now, and now his body couldn't stand it all of a sudden.

It's all said and done, if Cao Song doesn't understand it, then he will live in vain.

Cao Song was silent, this Tao Qian was so clear, he couldn't help but panic a little, could it be that his eldest son Cao Cao was so good? It actually became a choice for Tao Qian's family, which was amazing for my son.

"Gongzu, besides this, I don't know what else to ask for?"

Cao Song thinks it's better to ask a little more clearly.

"When people are old, they have to find a way to make a living for future generations! My two sons really can't be on the stage, otherwise I wouldn't want to! If I could, I would also like my son to take over Xuzhou! You say yes, right?

Jugao, I just want to exchange Xuzhou for my two sons to have a worry-free life, this is not too much, right? ”

Tao Qian sighed faintly, slowly told Cao Song, and looked directly at Cao Song, as if observing the change in his expression!

Cao Song's feeling now is simply not too good, his eldest son is the rhythm of destiny!

If this can take Xuzhou, Cao Cao's power can surpass Liu Bei in one fell swoop, Xuzhou is one of the most important grain producing areas today, when the time comes, the soldiers are full of food, and there are so many capable generals gathered under Cao Cao, it is not impossible to defeat the world.

Besides, Tao Qian just asked him to take care of his son, ensure that he had no worries about food and clothing, and don't let his Tao family cut off the incense, this kind of thing is just a gesture for them!

Anyway, this kind of promise in advance is not wrong, no matter what, it will not be their Cao family who will lose.

"Gongzu rest assured, not to mention that the two nephews can be high-ranking officials, at least they can be a free prince! My eldest son is also a benevolent and filial person, and when the time comes, the two nephews will be Mengde's siblings. ”

Cao Song said loudly, according to him, there is no problem in ensuring that there is no problem in ensuring that there is no worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, and the prince of Xiaoyao has no real power to put it bluntly, but he is one level higher than ordinary people.

"Then thank you Jugao." Tao Qian said sincerely.

With Tao Qian's identity, there is no need to be so respectful to Cao Song, but he is so respectful, why? It's not for the sake of the two big fisher sons! Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!

This made Cao Song a little stunned, and then sighed in his heart, he could understand Tao Qian's somewhat cowardly behavior, no wonder he had been guarding Xuzhou, as if he had no quarrel with the world.

Not only is it old, but there is no one in the follow-up! If he were twenty years younger, it was estimated that he would also intervene in this troubled world, but now he is cheaper than others.

The two sons can only eat, drink and have fun, how can Tao Qian dare to dominate? It has always been very good to be able to protect himself, he has been an official for so many years, and of course he knows the current situation.

As long as the other princes have their hands free, they will definitely fight Xuzhou, but now everyone has not stabilized, which is the reason why he Xuzhou can still protect himself!

Since he doesn't have the strength to defend it, it is better to find a candidate who can become his son's backer as soon as possible, Tao Qian is currently in such a state.

"Alas! It's all for the sake of your loved ones! Although Cao Song was happy, he also had to sigh, and then raised his wine glass, "Gongzu, drink two more glasses of wine, and you won't have any worries." ”

"Haha! Today's knot has been solved, and it is not impossible to get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows! ”

Tao Qian smiled heartily, the wrinkles on his face seemed to be scattered, and the whole person was a year or two younger, and he raised his wine glass and dried up.

Although the body is poor, but if you are happy, you have to drink hard, Tao Qian's face is a lot better, the two old men chatted very much, and only after getting drunk did they let people help them down.
