Chapter 14: According to His Will
Cao Shuo pointed out the stakes, and Sun Guan immediately regretted going to Cao Cao to complain.
The Qingzhou army was the first to plague the people, and Yu Ban raised troops to attack later.
If the two sides turn their faces, he can't say anything.
"My father asked me to find Yu Ban." Seeing that his face was blue and red for a while, Cao Shuo knew that what he said had an effect: "I originally wanted to seek justice for the general, but when people made it clear, they actually made me speechless." ”
Cao Shuo's words came out, and Sun Guan felt even more guilty in his heart.
People came to help, but he was not angry, and he almost offended those who were willing to help him.
"This is not the place to talk." The attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn, and Sun Guan said: "I prepared some thin wine in the army, and the son still entered the barracks to talk." ”
"I'm going to report the results of the investigation to my father." Cao Shuo said: "I won't bother the general tonight." ”
"The last general was rude just now, don't take it to heart." Afraid that Cao Shuo would speak ill of him in front of Cao Cao, Sun Guan said: "Please also ask the prince to say a few kind words in front of Cao Gong." ”
"It's come to this point, I just want to ask the general one word." Cao Shuo said: "Do you want to fight with General Yu to break the net, or do you want to take a step back and seek stability?" ”
"I'd rather take a step back." Sun Guan was embarrassed and said: "I'm afraid of the forbidden ......"
"As long as General Sun is willing, I will take care of this matter." Cao Shuo said: "When I see my father tomorrow, the general will first ask for the crime of lax management of the army, and then sue Yu Ban and ask my father to punish him." ”
"Didn't Childe say take a step back? With such a fuss, Yu Ban is willing to give up? Sun Guan was confused.
"Why can't the general understand?" Cao Shuo said: "Yes, you have already sued, can you still get it back at this time?" Tomorrow I will argue with reason, and I will say a few words in front of my father. You and General Yu are both at fault, and my father shouldn't want things to be too big! ”
Sun Guan suddenly realized, and made a big salute to Cao Shuo and said, "Fortunately, Gongzi mentioned it, otherwise this matter would have been done badly by me." ”
"I still have to reply to my father, I will say goodbye first!" Cao Shuo arched his hand to Sun Guan.
"Childe's great grace is in my heart." Sun Guan said: "When Cao Gong returns to Xudu, I will get together with my son!" ”
"Wait for the general to invite me!" Cao Shuo replied, and left after falling off the horse.
Sun Guan stood outside the barracks and watched him go far before returning to the barracks.
Seeing Yu Ban and Sun Guan respectively, Cao Shuo returned to the camp and immediately asked to see Cao Cao.
There were still oil lamps lit in Cao Cao's tent.
Cao Shuo reported outside the tent, and Cao Cao said: "Enter the tent and speak." ”
Entering the tent, Cao Shuo found that in addition to Cao Cao, Xun Yu was also here.
first saluted Cao Cao, and then met Xun You, Cao Shuo said: "Back to my father, the child went to the barracks of General Yu and General Sun successively. ”
"I only let you go to Yu Ban, what are you doing with the Qingzhou Army?" Cao Cao asked.
"After all, it's not just General Yu who is involved." Cao Shuo said: "The cause of this incident was that the Qingzhou army plundered the people, and General Yu stopped it, and the two sides clashed, so that more than a dozen Qingzhou soldiers were killed. ”
"How can such a thing happen?" Cao Cao's brows furrowed slightly, he glanced at Xun You and said, "In this way, you can't punish Yu Ban." Gongda, what do you think is the best thing? ”
"I want to know what Zirong Gongzi thinks." Xun You said.
Cao Shuo looked at Cao Cao and did not speak.
"Gongda is not an outsider, there is no need to hide it." Cao Cao said: "Say whatever you want." ”
"Father let me say, I dare not say it." Cao Shuo said: "My thoughts may be very immature, if my father thinks it is wrong, don't take it to heart." ”
"If you want to say it, you can say it." Cao Cao said: "Whether it's right or wrong, I don't blame you!" ”
"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Cao Shuo said: "In my opinion, General Yu is not wrong. As for the Qingzhou Army, although he made a mistake first, Zhang Xiu was still eyeing the Qingzhou Army, and it was very inappropriate to condemn the Qingzhou Army. ”
Cao Cao and Xun You's eyes were focused on Cao Shuo's face.
"The Qingzhou Army is from the Yellow Turban, although many years have passed, they are still banditry." Cao Shuo said: "I went to the barracks just now and found that their military discipline was sloppy, and they didn't look like an army at all. It is not easy for General Sun to control such a team and prevent them from going too far. ”
"No one is born a soldier." Cao Cao said: "What you said is not appropriate, Sun Guan has no way to govern the army, and you don't have to excuse him." ”
"That's what my father said." Cao Shuo continued: "It would have been a good thing for General Yu to stop the Qingzhou army from causing trouble to the people, but he just shouldn't have waved his sword at the Qingzhou army. If this matter is not handled well, it is likely to cause a rebellion of the Qingzhou Army. The current situation can no longer afford another upheaval. ”
Cao Cao nodded.
Looking at Xun Yu again, I saw him stroking the beard on his chin and smiling slightly.
"What do you think you should do about this?" Cao Cao asked.
"Reward the general and exempt the Qingzhou Army from responsibility." Cao Shuo said.
Looking at Xun You, Cao Cao asked, "Gongda, what do you think?" ”
"Zirong Gongzi has seen it thoroughly." Xun You said: "If Cao Gong thinks it is appropriate, it is better to follow what he said." ”
"He's just a yellow-mouthed kid, what can he think thoroughly." Xun You praised Cao Shuo, Cao Cao was very useful, but he reprimanded Cao Shuo: "I dare to show my wisdom in front of Gongda, I really don't know how thick the sky is!" ”
"That's what my father admonished." Cao Shuo lowered his head and said.
While the servants were talking, a guard's voice came from outside the tent: "Qi Cao Gong, the dead have been recruited." ”
Cao Cao said to Cao Shuo: "It's none of your business here, you go down first." ”
Cao Shuo was about to leave, Xun You said: "Gong Cao, Prince Zirong escaped from Wancheng, he is familiar with the terrain there. If he could draw a map, it would be much more successful. ”
Cao Cao also entered Wancheng at the beginning, but he only occupied it at that time, and he didn't expect to be driven away on this day.
Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao asked, "Do you remember the terrain of Wancheng?" ”
"Remember some." Cao Shuo said: "I don't know what my father sent back to Wancheng to do? ”
"Don't hide it from the son." Xun You said: "The eldest son and Dian Wei died in battle, and Zhang Xiu asked them to hang their bodies on the city wall to show the public. How can the heroic souls who died in battle make them violent corpses? Cao Gong recruits the dead and intends to steal back the corpses, so a detailed map is needed. ”
Return to Wancheng to steal the corpse......
Cao Shuo's eyes lit up, and then he said to Cao Cao: "I implore my father to allow the child to lead the team back to Wancheng." ”
"You?" Cao Cao shook his head and said: "You are weak and have been tossing for several days, you don't have to go back to Wancheng to steal the body." ”
