Cao Shuo and Xu Shu didn't talk much in the room, and Wei Tu brought three people.

The servants entered the house and saluted Cao Shuo.

Xu Shu got up and introduced Cao Shuo.

Pulling over the person on the far left, he said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, this surname is Shi Taozi Guangyuan, if you talk about talent, he is far better than me." ”

Cao Shuo looked at this person.

I saw that he and Xu Shu were almost the same height, but their complexion was slightly darker, more like a farmer who worked in the fields all year round.

Standing up and arching his hand, Cao Shuo said, "I've seen Mr." ”

"I have heard the name of the prince for a long time, and I heard that Yuan Zhi will visit in the future, and I am a dead beggar who has to follow, in order to see the dignity of the son." Shi Tao replied with a big gift and said, "When I saw him today, Gongzi was really a young hero." In the world, at the age of Childe, there is no second person to think of. ”

"Sir, I praised it." Cao Shuo replied with a smile.

Xu Shu pulled the man in the middle again and said to Cao Shuo: "Son, this surname is Cui Mingjun, and the word is Zhouping." His father was the late Han Taiwei Cui Lie Cui Gong. I also admired the name of my son, and I came to pay a visit. ”

"Long up, long back!" Cao Shuo arched his hand to Cui Jun again.

Cui Jun replied: "I heard that Gongzi came to Huainan and was exempted from taxes and forced labor for ten years, which made this place prosperous for a while, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. To be honest, I didn't believe it before I entered Lujiang. When I arrived in Lujiang, I had already believed in three points. Entering Huainan, I believed seven points. When I came to Shouchun, I was completely convinced. ”

Cao Shuo laughed: "Sir, don't you know, in order to be exempt from taxes and forced labor, I am now so poor that I am stretched." Soon I won't even be able to eat. ”

"Oh?" Cui Jun asked, "Doesn't Gongzi have any other sources of wealth?" ”

"If not, I would have died poor." Cao Shuo said: "Huainan and Lujiang are just one county, and Mr. must know that there is Xuzhou under me." That is the entire Xuzhou Thorn History Department, with countless people and a vast territory. Raise such a large piece of land, raise so many people, and there are soldiers of the three armies waiting to eat. In the past, I would mess around with my father in Xudu, but now I know that I really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home. ”

"If Childe wants money, I can give a fortune." Cui Jun stroked his beard and said.

Cao Shuo is just complaining.

Lingyun Pavilion and Moon Tower have made a lot of money.

In addition, the gold touching camp led by Zhou Hao searched for tombs everywhere all day long, and often got some antiquities back and handed them over to Lingyun Pavilion to sell, although his expenses were not small, they were not in a situation of lack of money.

But Cui Jun said that he had a fortune to give, Cao Shuo's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "What wealth does Mr. have?" ”

"I heard that Gongzi is at war with the Jiangdong Sun clan." Cui Jun asked, "I don't know how the war is going?" ”

"Luck has won." Cao Shuo said: "There is also a battle report from Guangling, the Jiangdong Army has retreated to the south bank of the Yangtze River, holding Qu'a, and our army is confronting each other. ”

"Jiangdong can have today, it is nothing more than the credit of Sun Ce alone." Cui Jun said: "If Gongzi can get rid of Sun Ce and then invade the territory with a large army, the situation in Jiangdong will definitely not dare to be an enemy of Gongzi." Childe doesn't want what he wants, he has it? ”

As soon as Cui Jun said this, Cao Shuo smiled.

His statement coincided with Cao Shuo's thoughts, but Cao Shuo didn't consider that after getting rid of Sun Ce, he would be able to get so many benefits from Jiangdong.

"It's not easy to get rid of Sun Ce." Cao Shuo said: "If Sun Ce is really eliminated and asks Jiangdong for benefits, can he hand it over to Cui Gong?" ”

"I came to Shouchun because I have the heart to serve my son." Cui Jun said: "Of course, the son is sent, of course, it is not to be dismissed!" ”

"There's Lao Cui Gong!" Cao Shuo arched his hand at him again.

Xu Shu pulled the last person and said to Cao Shuo: "This surname is Meng Mingjian, the word is Gongwei, and he is proficient in learning, and he can be called a famous man in the world. ”

Cao Shuo just wanted to take Xu Shu under his command and prevent him from voting for Liu Bei in the future.

I didn't expect to buy one get three free, and I actually dragged these three too.

After seeing the four of them again, Cao Shuo said: "A few people sit down and talk, and when Shiyuan comes, we will pay a visit to Yuanzhi's loving mother together." ”

Everyone responded, and Cao Shuo asked Meng Jian and the others again: "I don't know where the family members are now?" ”

"We came to Shouchun, and it was difficult to walk with our families." Shi Tao replied: "All the proper arrangements have been made. ”

"How can that be?" Cao Shuo said: "In the world, friends are still rich and noble, not to mention family members. I also asked a few people to say where their families are, and I will send someone to protect them all the way to Shouchun. With family members by their side, a few people will also feel at ease. ”

"Thank you, Childe." Shi Tao said: "Since this is the case, we will no longer refuse. ”

"Someone!" Cao Shuo shouted out the door.

Wei Tu entered the house.

"Take pen and ink, ask a few gentlemen to write down where their families are, and send someone to pick them up immediately." Cao Shuo said: "I ordered to go down, no matter what, we must ensure that the families of several gentlemen come to Shouchun safely." Then tell Mi Heng to buy a few mansions as the residences of the gentlemen. ”

Wei Tu was ordered to leave, and Shi Tao and the others naturally thanked Cao Shuo again.

As he was talking, Cai Ji's voice came from outside the door: "Enlightened son, Pang Gong asks to see." ”

"Shiyuan is here." Cao Shuo smiled slightly at a few people and ordered: "Don't invite him in to talk yet." ”

Cao Shuo's voice fell, and Pang Tong entered the room.

Seeing Xu Shu and the others, he was stunned at first, and then saluted Cao Shuo.

After meeting Cao Shuo, Pang Tong smiled and asked Xu Shu and the others, "Why are they all here?" ”

"Shi Yuan seems to only want to see Yuan Zhi alone, and he doesn't want to see us." Cui Jun said with a smile: "Why don't we step back first and wait for him to talk to Yuan Zhi." ”

"Don't, don't!" Pang Tong hurriedly stopped and said: "I'm just surprised that when I came to Shouchun, I actually gathered so together." ”

"I've heard the name of the son for a long time, we admire each other, can't we?" Meng Jian asked.

"With a few of you here, the son's big thing is a little more certain." Pang Tong asked, "Why don't you see Kong Ming?" ”

"We've been there for him." Xu Shu shook his head and said: "It's just that Kong Ming refuses to go out and close the door, so he has no choice but to come together." ”

"Kong Ming has lofty ambitions, and there are many talented people around Gongzi, and now he has a foundation." Pang Tong shook his head and said: "With his heart, if he doesn't kill him first in the future, he will only be able to meet on the battlefield." ”

When Pang Tong said this, everyone sighed.

Cao Shuo smiled as if he didn't care at all, got up and said to everyone: "Since Shiyuan has come, a few gentlemen will leave their families later, and we won't talk here, let's go to the old lady's residence first, so that Yuanzhi's mother and son can meet." We're also going to have a meal. ”

Cao Shuo proposed this, of course Xu Shu was happy, and others would not ruin his interest and responded one after another.
