Cao Cao, who was dancing and drunk, was indeed happy in his heart, the so-called "major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong", most of the "names and instruments" of the Han court were already in his hands, and now the repeated military victories have made his Cao Sikong's reputation rise day by day, and scholars from all walks of life rushed to him.

Xu Chu of Qian Pei, He Kui of Chen Guo, Li Tong of Runan, plus Du Xi, Zhao Yan, Fanqin and others who have now defected, Cao Cao's command can be described as a wealth of scholars, civil ministers and military generals, gathered in the shadows.

In this banquet of the guests of honor, everyone returned drunk, and Cao Cao also drank a lot of wine, so that after waking up in a heavy mood, the sky was already bright, and Cao Cao's mind still had some pain.

Cao Cao only regarded it as the normal state of drinking, and did not care, there were many affairs in the army, he went deep into the enemy territory in this battle, and attacked Huyang, just to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger, and deter Liu Biao of Jingxiang, he was not so arrogant that he thought that with the soldiers and horses under his command, he could cross the Han River, attack Xiangyang, and finish his work in one battle.

The terrifying goal has been achieved, he will soon return to the north and capture several cities in the north of Nanyang that have not yet surrendered, and there are still a lot of military affairs to deal with, where can he stop and slack.

So, after washing, Cao Cao hastily ate some morning food, and planned to deal with the military affairs documents in the military tent. Unexpectedly, the symptoms of the headache became more and more serious, but after a while, Cao Cao, whose head was swollen and painful, had his lips white, his hands trembled, and he held his head and knocked his temples from time to time.

Guo Jia and others, who were accompanying the army, noticed Cao Cao's abnormality, and the close ministers who were familiar with him immediately knew that this was Cao Cao's head stroke again.

Guo Jia and others hurriedly sent their own soldiers to summon the military doctor, and the others helped Cao Cao to the bed, so that the military doctor who came urgently rushed to diagnose and treat him, the military doctor seemed to be very familiar with the diagnosis and treatment of Cao Cao's head wind, and they first used the method of soup ironing and needle stone, and relieved the symptoms of headache for Cao Cao on the spot, and then prescribed a prescription to others to grab the medicine to boil the soup, and finally carefully instructed some details that need to be paid attention to, and then asked for the order to retreat to another account to standby.

Although the news was not made public in the army, Xiahou, Cao's relatives and other generals with different surnames who led the troops still came to visit in person.

After Cao Cao patiently instructed them to be careful on the couch, he waved them back, leaving only his confidant Guo Jia alone, and continued to select important military affairs to read to him on the side of the sickbed, so that Cao Cao could solve some urgent affairs when he was sober.

While the two were deliberating, another man entered the tent gently.

Guo Jia raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was dressed in military uniform, with a heroic spirit of a young man between his eyebrows and eyes, and a lacquer plate in his hand, on which was a bowl of steaming medicinal soup.

"I've seen Childe!"

Guo Jia immediately got up and saluted, the person who came was Cao Cao's eldest son Cao Ang, he was already a crown, he had been filial piety, and had been following Cao Cao to obey orders, helping to deal with some affairs such as military and political affairs, courageous and knowledgeable, humble temperament, very much liked by Cao Cao.

"My father is sick, and there is Lao Guo sacrificing wine in military affairs."

Although Cao Ang had no way to salute immediately because he was holding the decoction, he still bowed his head humbly and slowly approached Cao Cao's bed.

"This is Jia's own duty, how dare you say it."

Guo Jia was uninhibited by nature, but at this time he was very respectful, and when he saw Cao Ang approaching, he quickly put down the Chinese book in his hand, took two steps back, looked at the Cao family father and son and said:

"Ming Gong respects the body, and advanced medicine to treat diseases, Jia retired and stood by, and came back to do things in a moment."

"Well, Fengxiao, you can step aside."

Cao Cao on the sickbed waved his hand, Guo Jia understood, bowed his hand, turned around and walked out of the big tent.

There were two father and son of the Cao family left in the tent, Cao Ang put down the decoction, approached Cao Cao, who was sick on the couch, with a respectful attitude, and asked softly:

"My lord, are you feeling better?"

"The old disease recurs, and I can't die."

Seeing Cao Ang, although Cao Cao on the sickbed still had a headache, he didn't want to show his fragile illness in front of his son, so he immediately smiled and said.

"It's almost autumn and winter, the adult's head disease is easy to attack, or don't work too hard, this time the army is victorious, the southern thieves have fled, and the matter of withdrawing the army back to the dynasty can be handed over to your uncles to deal with, don't work hard with illness, and take care of your body first, and then deal with military affairs."

Cao Cao heard Cao Ang's dissuasion, and he immediately straightened his face when he still had a headache.

"The Han family is in danger, the world is in turmoil, and now it is a world of great contention, day and night, how can it delay military and political affairs because of a small illness. As the master of the people, if you slack off first with illness, make a childish attitude, and demoralize the morale of the army, how can you expect your subordinates to be loyal with their lives, although your uncles are loyal and brave, but the fake hand of others is the fake hand of others after all. Zixiu, it seems that you haven't fully understood the book that your father asked you to study! ”

Hearing Cao Cao's tone gradually turn stern, the beads of sweat on Cao Ang's head seeped out at once, and he hurriedly gathered his spirit and said respectfully:

"The "Shangzi", "Hanzi", "Liutao", and "Sun Tzu" handed over to the children by adults, during the children's march, whenever there is a gap, they will hold and study, no matter day or night, they never dare to have a slack heart, but their qualifications are dull, and I am afraid that they will not be able to understand the deep meaning of the adults' annotations in a short time. Please don't be angry, and the children will redouble their efforts and study carefully when they go back. ”

"That's it, you have always worked hard since you were a child, far better than your peers, and you are not blamed for being a father, but some things, you are old and crowned, and you will always take over the big responsibility in the future, and you must have a little bottom in your heart."

"Got it."

"Yes, medicine!"

After Cao Cao's reminder, Cao Ang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Cao Cao up, and then blew the decoction and personally served Cao Cao's medicine.

"My lord, the doctor instructed that this decoction should be taken while it is hot, so that the head wind can be quickly removed!"

Cao Cao nodded, endured the bitter and thick medicinal soup with his eyes closed, divided it into several times, and finally took this bowl of medicinal soup.

After the bitterness in his mouth gradually subsided, Cao Cao, who was frowning, opened his eyes again, and he suddenly looked at Cao Ang and said:

"Zixiu, just remembered something for his father, the army won the battle, captured countless people, and the lieutenant general of the army dedicated a group of singers from Wu Land, and took pity on them for their father, so he simply brought them back to the house with the army. It's just that you also know your mother's woman's temperament, and after you go back, you need to help your father and explain your mother well, so that she won't be angry with your father all day long, make the house restless, and let outsiders see the jokes. ”

"Father!"

Cao Ang didn't expect his father to suddenly talk about this kind of thing, his face suddenly became bitter, when he went out on the expedition, his mother told him to let himself who was with the army supervise his father not to take the opportunity to bring some messy women to the house, but he still couldn't stop his father from doing this kind of behavior after all.

"Alright, so be it."

"Is this Uncle Zilian's idea, or is it offered by Brother An Min?" Cao Ang saw Cao Cao waving his hand impatiently, but he still asked.

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows, his narrow eyes showed a fine light, and asked:

"What, you're looking for them?"

In this matter, Cao Ang refused to show weakness, he raised his head and said:

"Mother's advice before leaving, the child must not forget it at any time. If we can't stop you this time, we must make amends to prevent this from happening again. ”

"You kid..."

Seeing Cao Ang's stubborn appearance, Cao Cao's mind turned, and he reached out to support his head, closing his eyes, as if he was enduring bursts of severe pain.

Cao Ang saw Cao Cao's head stroke attack, thinking that his father was troubled by this matter and caused a headache, so he hurriedly helped Cao Cao lie down again, and comforted him and said:

"My lord, it's better to take care of your body, let's put these things down first, and talk about it later."

When Cao Cao heard this, a sly smile quickly flashed on his face, he frowned, nodded, and then said:

"Just now, Guo Xijiu still has a document that has not been finished, you can tell your father."

"No."

Cao Ang didn't notice the change in Cao Cao, he knew that his father was worried about state affairs, so he hurriedly picked up the document that Guo Jia put down before, opened it and looked at it, and talked to Cao Cao.

"This is a document sent by Xu Du Shangshutai, which is about the good news of Yan Xing of Sanfu to pacify the rebels and recover Yongliang, as well as the matter of asking the imperial court to grant officials and knights."

"Yes." When Cao Cao heard that it was this, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

"My lord, do you want to reply to Xu Du right now?"

"No need, Xun Lingjun has his own measure in this matter."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he fell silent, and when Cao Ang saw this, he knew that his father had something on his mind, so he didn't say anything, sat quietly on the side, and waited silently for his father to speak.

After a long while, Cao Cao, who came back to his senses, saw Cao Ang waiting patiently, couldn't help but smile, and said:

"Why don't you read it?"

"The child's worry disturbed the adults to think about what to do."

"Eh, what can I deal with this, my father just heard that Yan Xing collected Yongliang Erzhou, and suddenly remembered that he was in Xingyang for a while last year, and he was worried that this son was only over thirty years old, so he was waiting to worship the general, and he was powerful in Guanxi, and he was fierce and difficult to control in the future."

"But now that I think about it, this son is sharp, but it is also a good thing, not only can he block some edges for the imperial court, but also the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it, and sooner or later there will be a day when the wind will sweep the tree."

Seeing his father's smile, Cao Ang also smiled, but when he thought of the content of the paperwork, he still said worriedly:

"But this person has just pacified Guanzhong, and now he has collected Yongliang, if the imperial court does not curb it, I am afraid that when its foundation is firm, even the wind will not be shaken."

"Not necessarily, not necessarily." Cao Cao's smile did not decrease, and he continued:

"Some of the buildings seem to have solid foundations, but in fact they are supported by a pillar. Some people run back and forth, crossing the river more dangerously, if they are not careful, they see the thorn overturned, and there are only young children to be fed under their knees, but they are all a group of tigers and wolves, the relatives are zero, and the wife is strong, then this platform is definitely going to collapse, and I don't know how many people will die under the stage. ”

Cao Ang's heart tightened when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to ask:

"Isn't your lord having a plan?"

"This matter is not in a hurry, this platform is still somewhat useful nowadays, besides, aren't there other people who are in a hurry to demolish this building, I will wait for the first time to free my hands, capture this tiger in the east, and then slowly turn around to deal with other tiger wolves."
