Xun Yu arrived in Shouchun, and Sima Yi and others settled him down first.

After the handover of Tian Feng and Zhong Changtong, Cao Shuo also led the army on the way back.

On the way, he first received the news that Cao Cao had been crowned King of Wei.

Cao Shuo immediately sent a messenger to congratulate Cao Cao.

Two days later, Shouchun sent news again, saying that Xun Yu was driven out of Yecheng by Cao Cao and had settled down in Shouchun.

After getting this news, Cao Shuo, who was riding forward, asked Guo Jia and Tian Feng, "What do you think?" ”

"If Xun Wen's heart is towards the Han family, he must have persuaded Cao Gong not to accept the title of King of Wei, and was driven out of Yecheng by Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "It seems that Cao Gong is really angry this time. ”

"Duke Xun has indeed made a lot of contributions to the Cao family, but it's no wonder that his father is angry when he does this." Cao Shuo said: "When I was named the king of Wuzhou, I didn't see him stand up against it. ”

"Why doesn't Gongzi understand the difference between the King of Wuzhou and the King of Wei?" Tian Feng smiled slightly, and said to Cao Shuo: "Your Majesty has made the prince the king of Wuzhou, just because he occupies a lot of land, but he is just giving a title. Childe thinks about it, have you ever received the Duke of Wang in the past few years? ”

"I don't think so." Cao Shuo shook his head with a smile: "It seems that I was fooled by His Majesty!" ”

"Duke Cao was crowned King of Wei, and he had the power to establish a country." Tian Feng continued: "From now on, the world only knows that there is Wei, who knows that there is a big man?" ”

Guo Jia also said on the side: "Not only that, but back then, Gaozu also made a testament, anyone who is not surnamed Liu is crowned king, and the world can discuss it." Now that Cao Gongbei has been crowned King of Wei, he has violated the teachings of Gaozu, and Xun Wenruo's persuasion is also well-intentioned. ”

"The world is discussed?" Cao Shuo pursed his lips, and said with contempt in his tone: "Father is the king, I really want to see who dares to crusade against him!" ”

"Gongzi has a large army, and Cao Gong is also surrounded by fierce generals and hundreds of thousands of people with armor." Guo Jia said: "Who else can crusade against the Cao family today? ”

"In that case, what Liu Bang said, isn't it playing the piano to the cow?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "A person who has been dead for hundreds of years, his words can still control the world, that is really a joke!" ”

"That's what Childe said." Guo Jia and Tian Feng responded at the same time.

"Duke Xun is loyal to the Han family, and he also sees everything his father has done for the Han family for so many years." Cao Shuo said: "If I were Xun Gong, I wouldn't question my father. After all, King Wei is just a feudal king, and he has not replaced His Majesty today. The world was brought down by the Cao family, so what's all the fuss about my father making a king? ”

"How does Childe plan to place Xun Wenruo?" Guo Jia asked.

"Let him stay in Shouchun." Cao Shuo said: "As for the official, of course, it is still the same as when he was by his father's side, I don't have a prime minister here, and he shouldn't oppose me." ”

"Childe's loyalty to the Han can be seen by the sun and the moon, who can find a reason to oppose Childe?" Tian Feng said: "Duke Xun is good at internal affairs, and as long as he is properly appointed in Shouchun, it will be a big help for the son." ”

"I want to use him, I'm afraid that if I don't take advantage of his heart in the future, he will also talk about me to my face." Cao Shuo said: "You know, we are conquering the world, and it is impossible to ask Your Majesty for everything. ”

Cao Shuo has long had the intention of replacing Liu Xie, where can Guo Jia, Tian Feng and others not see it.

He hasn't done that for two reasons.

First, Cao Cao is still there, and there is no reason for his father to be a minister and his son to be the emperor.

As for the second one, the time is not ripe enough.

The world has not yet been completely calmed, if Cao Shuo becomes emperor at this time, although he will be supported by all parts of his rule, other heroes will definitely find a reason to attack in groups.

Calling the emperor too early only has disadvantages and no benefits, and Cao Shuo certainly wouldn't do such a stupid thing.

Although Guo Jia was recommended to Cao Cao by Xun Yu back then, his feelings for the Han family were not as deep as Xun Yu's.

The Xun family, like the Yuan family back then, was the fourth and third dukes, and had absolutely high prestige in the Han court, and had also received many benefits from the Han royal family.

Guo Jia, who was born in cloth, joined Yuan Shao's command in his early years, but because he could not be used by Yuan Shao, he later resigned and lived in seclusion until he met Cao Cao.

In Guo Jia's mind, Cao Cao is the real lord, and as for the Han court, it doesn't matter whether it exists or not.

Guo Jia has such a mind, not to mention Tian Feng, whose life was saved by Cao Shuo.

Back then, he was loyal to the Yuan family, but he also had no concept of the Han family.

Later, he was cast under Cao Shuo's account, and since then he has been doing his best to assist Cao Shuo, and there is no one else in his eyes.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty was nothing more than a void for Tian Feng.

The nominal emperor respects it, and the only person he really wants to be loyal to is Cao Shuo.

Cao Shuo was still on his way back to Shouchun, and the people he sent to congratulate Cao Cao had already entered Yecheng.

Seeing the people sent by Cao Shuo, Cao Cao asked, "What does Zirong think about me being named King of Wei?" ”

"Gongzi said that it is the glory of the Cao family for Cao Gong to be named King of Wei." The messenger said: "From now on, the battle flag of Gongzi will also be embroidered with the word 'Wei'. ”

"Is that really what Zirong said?" Cao Cao asked, "Didn't he say anything that shouldn't have happened?" ”

"It is a great thing that Cao Gong was enthroned, how could Gongzi oppose it?" The messenger replied: "Someone said to Gongzi that Gaozu had left a legacy, and anyone who is not surnamed Liu is the king can be discussed by the world." Gongzi asked that person, who in the world dares to crusade against Cao Gong? ”

"Sure enough, it's still close to my own son." Cao Cao said: "I'm optimistic, and no one else is reliable." ”

"That's what Cao Gong said!" The messenger asked, "Dare to ask Cao Gong, do you have anything to bring to Gongzi?" ”

"I don't have anything to say to him." Cao Cao said: "Tell him to take good care of himself, whether he is on the march or when he returns home. Don't spoil your body because of greed for cold and warmth. ”

Cao Cao didn't let him bring any impassioned words, but just said a homely reminder, and he was also stunned for a moment.

Seeing that Cao Cao had nothing to say, the messenger said: "If Cao Gong has nothing important to say, I will leave first, and then go back to report to Gongzi." ”

"Go ahead!" Cao Cao waved his hand.

When the messenger left, Cao Cao pouted and smiled: "Good Xun Wenruo, I have known you for many years, and you actually oppose me calling him the king of Wei." It seems that it is still his own son's intimacy. ”

Muttering to himself, Cao Cao shouted to the door, "Zhongkang, you come in!" ”

Xu Chu, who was guarding the door, heard the greeting and walked into the room.

Cao Cao instructed him: "I don't have anything important to do here, you accompany me to the backyard." ”

Retreating to the side, Xu Chu bowed down and asked Cao Cao to walk out first.
