When Sima Hui left Yecheng, he was in a very bad mood.

Cao Cao did give him an explanation.

However, this explanation did not make Guo Jia admit his mistake in public, but asked Guo Jia to go to Shouchun again.

Cao Shuo specially ordered Guo Jia not to go again, and he did not complete Cao Shuo's instructions this time.

came to Yecheng, except for seeing Ding Yao, everything else did not develop as expected.

Shouchun is a little farther away from Yecheng than from Xudu.

After walking for more than ten days, Sima Hui returned to Shouchun.

Cao Shuo didn't wait in the front hall, but asked Deng Zhan to lead him to the study.

After entering the study, before Sima Hui could speak, Cao Shuo asked: "Mr. went to Yecheng this time, how did you wish the general to protect along the way?" ”

"I wish the general to do his best, there is nothing to say." Sima Hui said: "It's just that I'm ashamed of my son......"

"What's the matter, sir?" Cao Shuo smiled and asked Sima Hui.

"Cao Gong not only did not promise not to let Guo Jia come to Shouchun again, but told me that in a short time, Guo Jia would leave Yecheng and come to Shouchun to live for a few days." Sima Hui said: "I couldn't do what Gongzi ordered. ”

"Sir is doing a good job." Cao Shuo said: "I just need Guo Fengxiao to come to Shouchun, and when he arrives, I should set sail." ”

"Set sail?" Sima Hui asked, "Where is Gongzi going?" ”

"Fu Zhu is still in Shouchun, I am just waiting for Guo Fengxiao, after he comes, I plan to take a few warships to Yizhou." Cao Shuo replied.

"Go to Yizhou, and take Guo Jia with you?" Sima Hui asked confusedly, "Didn't the previous son say ......?"

"If I say that I need Guo Fengxiao to come to Shouchun, will Mr. still try his best not to let him come in front of my father?" Cao Shuo said: "It's really my fault for hiding from Mr. this time. ”

He stood up and bowed to Sima Hui.

Only then did Sima Hui understand that Cao Shuo didn't want Guo Jia to come to Shouchun, but he hoped that Guo Jia would come earlier.

If it weren't for his efforts in Yecheng to persuade Cao Cao and count the disadvantages of Guo Jia's coming to Shouchun, Cao Cao probably wouldn't have made such a decision.

In retrospect, I was really put on a show by Cao Shuo.

With a slight smile of shame, Sima Hui said to Cao Shuo: "I'm really old, I haven't even been able to figure out this little bit of my son's thoughts." ”

"Don't say that, sir." Cao Shuo said: "Mr. is a famous man in the world, and he is above board. I can't put this thought on the table at all, and of course my husband doesn't bother to figure it out. ”

"Childe doesn't have to say that." Sima Hui said: "I can only talk to people about the world's major events, but if I really want to follow my son to achieve great things, I'm afraid I can't." ”

"Why can't you, sir?" Cao Shuo said: "Since Mr. and Pang Degong came to Shouchun, how many talents have been cultivated here? Nowadays, most of the officials under my command are from the gentleman's court. If there is no gentleman, where can I find these people? ”

"Since Childe values me, can you tell me the purpose of going to Yizhou?" Sima Hui said: "Now that the north has not been pacified, it is really unbelievable that Gongzi wants to lead a warship to Yizhou. ”

"Two purposes." Cao Shuo said: "First, my father can't find me, and in the future, the Cao family will crusade against the north, and my father can only go in person." Only then will he think of my good. Second, Yizhou is located in the South China Sea, and in addition to Yizhou, there is also Zhuya Prefecture, and these two islands are in my hands. When the Central Plains is pacified, I want to conquer the southern barbarians, and the navy will send troops from Yizhou and Zhuyazhou, which can echo the north and south of the army, and will definitely be able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

"Childe is really thinking long-term." Sima Hui asked, "Is it ...... in the north?"

"I got Youzhou, and the north is already mine." Cao Shuo said: "My father did not allow me to send troops again, just because he was worried that my power would be too strong and would have an impact on him. What I want to do now is to develop the military that my father doesn't value, and the second is to let my father know that I am important. ”

"It turns out that Childe has so many plans." Sima Hui asked: "There are a lot of capable people around Gongzi, why do you have to wait for Guo Fengxiao to come?" ”

"I don't want him to go to Wuhuan." Cao Shuo said: "Maybe Mr. doesn't believe it, I learned some stargazing skills in my early years, and I once watched the stars at night, Guo Fengxiao went to Wuhuan, maybe he will fall there." How can I bear a talent like him......"

Speaking of which, Cao Shuo didn't continue.

Guo Jia's death was something he had learned from history books before.

Many books record that Guo Jia died of typhoid fever.

In this era, Cao Shuo discovered that Guo Jia was obsessed with the art of medicine and stones, and speculated that his death might be related to the perennial use of pills containing lead and mercury.

Speculation is speculation after all, in case Guo Jia follows Cao Cao to conquer Wuhuan and really gets typhoid fever, I am afraid that Cao Shuo will regret his intestines.

It's about Guo Jia, Cao Shuo certainly doesn't want to do risky things.

When he came to this era, he learned that Dian Wei had died in battle, and his heart ached for a long time.

It's a pity that he couldn't protect himself at that time, and he didn't have the ability to save Dian Wei at all.

If it were changed now, let alone one Dian Wei, even if it was ten hundred, he would save it.

Stargazing at night, 2,000 years from now, may be regarded by most people as nonsense.

However, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, many things did not have a reasonable explanation.

Stargazing is an extremely mysterious science for most people.

Sima Hui is one of those people with this kind of cognition.

Cao Shuo said that he was stargazing and saw that Guo Jia would be in trouble, so he wanted to take him to Yizhou, and Sima Hui didn't ask any more.

talked with Sima Hui about the rectification of various places under his rule, and after Sima Hui left, Cao Shuo also walked out of the study.

"Where's Childe?" Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao greeted him, and Deng Zhan asked.

"I'll go to Mrs. Guo." Cao Shuo said: "There are some important things to talk to her, and you don't need to wait here, let's go and rest first." ”

Cao Shuo went to Guo Xin's place, and he might not go out at night, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao responded and retired.

The two left, and Cao Shuo, accompanied by several guards, walked to Guo Xin's residence.

To go to Guo Xin's residence, you have to pass by Cao Zhang's residence halfway.

Outside the gate of the small courtyard where Cao Zhang lived, Cao Shuo stopped.

There was a shout of martial arts competition in the small courtyard, and Cao Shuo knew that it must be Cao Zhang who was practicing martial arts again.

"Tell the third son, and say I'm coming." Cao Shuo commanded a guard behind him.

The guard stepped forward and pushed open the main entrance of the small courtyard.

After a while, the sweaty Cao Zhang ran out with a few strong men, saluted Cao Shuo and said, "I didn't know that the eldest brother came, and I couldn't welcome him from afar, so I ask for forgiveness." ”

Cao Shuo waved his hand: "You don't have to be polite to me, I just came to see how you practiced martial arts." ”
