Chapter 661 You can't be an emperor if you don't want to be an emperor
Cao Shuo led his army into the city.
The Shouchun defenders had already collected their weapons, and people stood on both sides of the street.
When shouting outside the city, the people of Shouchun also heard it.
Cao Shuo's conditions undoubtedly had great attraction for the people of Huainan who had been oppressed by Yuan Shu for many years.
Cao Jun entered Shouchun, and the people came out to watch.
People's eyes were full of expectation, and they were all looking forward to Cao Shuo being able to fulfill his promise after occupying Huainan.
Riding a horse, Cao Shuo, accompanied by Pang Tong and others, marched towards Yuan Shu's palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw a group of Cao Jun surrounding twenty or thirty Yuan Shu's guards.
The guards twisted a person, and when they saw Cao Shuo coming, they bowed down one after another.
The guard who took the lead said: "We captured Yuan Shu and presented the son. ”
"You are all Yuan Shu's guards?" Cao Shuo asked.
Twenty or thirty guards bowed their heads and did not dare to say a word.
The guards who took the lead were even more worried, not knowing what Cao Shuo wanted to do.
"Childe asked, why didn't you answer?" Cai Ji shouted on the side.
The leading guard hurriedly replied: "Back to Gongzi, we are Your Majesty...... No...... It's Yuan Shu's guard! ”
"Take them down to rest." Cao Shuo instructed Wei Tu.
Wei Tu answered, and then said to the twenty or thirty guards: "You come with me!" ”
Cao Shuo didn't say anything about rewards or punishments, and the guards were worried one by one.
Following Wei Tu away, the guard who took the lead asked cautiously, "This general, how will Gongzi treat us?" ”
"You have made great contributions, and the son will definitely not be treated badly." Wei Tu said: "It's just that the following offenses are committed, and I'm afraid it's difficult to be reused!" ”
The guards breathed a sigh of relief.
Whether it can be reused or not, they don't care at all.
As for the reward, they didn't dare to think much about it.
As long as they can live, it is the heaviest grace for them......
The guards were taken away by Wei Tu, and the two Cao soldiers then stood behind Yuan Shu.
"Yuan Gong!" Cao Shuo grinned at him: "I have admired the name for a long time, and today I finally see it alive." ”
"Cao Zirong, what do you want?" Yuan Shu asked angrily.
"I don't want to do anything." Cao Shuo smiled shyly and said to Yuan Shu: "The key is what Your Majesty wants to do to Yuan Gong." ”
Yuan Shu was called the emperor, which was already a great rebellion against the Han family.
Give him to Liu Xie, he will definitely die!
"Someone!" Cao Shuo shouted: "Take good care of Yuan Gong and send him to see his father in two days." ”
"Wait!" Cai Ji beckoned a few Cao Jun and was about to escort Yuan Shu away, when Yuan Shu shouted.
"Does Yuan Gong have anything to say?" Cao Shuo asked.
"If you are willing to let me go, I am willing to sacrifice the jade seal of the country!" Yuan Shu said: "If Cao Mengde plans to be the emperor, the jade seal of the country is indispensable......"
Cao Shuo grinned and said to Yuan Shu: "Shouchun is already mine, even if you don't sacrifice the heirloom jade seal, it will be found by me." What's more, my father didn't plan to be the emperor, our Cao family is loyal to the Han family, how can it be compared to Yuan Gong? ”
Cao Shuo's words stunned Yuan Shu for a while.
Waving his hand to Cai Ji, Cao Shuo said, "Hold it down." ”
"Take it away!" Cai Ji greeted several Cao Jun.
When Yuan Shu was escorted away, Cao Shuo said to Cao Jun on the side: "You lead people to search here, and you must find out the jade seal of the heirloom." ”
"What about Yuan Shu's family?" Cao Jun asked.
"What else can I do?" Cao Shuo said: "I can't pick up the women he has used and use them again." You take an inventory of his family members and send them to me, and I will reward them to the meritorious soldiers!" ”
Cao Jun responded, and led a group of Cao soldiers into Yuan Shu's palace, searched for the jade seal of the country and arrested people.
Walking towards the palace, Sima Yi asked Cao Shuo: "Son, what are you going to do if you find the jade seal of the heirloom?" ”
"What else can I do?" Cao Shuo said: "I have to go to Xudu and personally hand over the jade seal to His Majesty." ”
"Will the Cao Guild agree?" Sima Yi asked.
"Before returning to Xudu, of course, I will first convince my father." Cao Shuo said: "Our Cao family is loyal to the Han family, and my father will definitely agree to my request." ”
"That's what Childe said!" Sima Yi responded.
Chen Zhi on the side said: "According to me, Gongzi might as well dedicate the jade seal to Cao Gong, he became the emperor, and Gongzi is the prince......"
"Prince?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "This prince is not easy to do!" Yuan Shu was also in his prime, if he wasn't the emperor of the Great Rebellion, how could he end up where he is now? The emperor is not something that anyone can do if he wants to. ”
Chen Zhi didn't say anything more.
Pang Tong, Sima Yi and Chen Gong glanced at each other.
The generals didn't hear anything from his words, but they heard Cao Shuo's implicit meaning.
No one doesn't want to be the emperor, but the current situation simply does not allow the Cao family to usurp the throne.
What's more, Cao Cao never had the idea of usurping the throne and becoming emperor, if Cao Shuo really persuaded Cao Cao to become emperor, it would cut off his own back road.
"Yuan Shu's palace is really not small." Walking into the inner courtyard of the palace, Cao Shuo said: "It saves me from buying a residence in Huainan!" ”
"Yuan Shu has been rampant, and in recent years, he has built the palace in style." Pang Tong said: "Gongzi really plans to take out all the treasures here, buy grain and grass and distribute them to the people? ”
"Don't forget how we got Huainan." Cao Shuo said: "If it weren't for the people shouting outside the city, which made the defenders rebel, we would not have been able to capture Shouchun without blood." If you want to gain a firm foothold in Huainan, you must fulfill your promises! ”
"The money that Yuan Shu looted is not good, except for the construction of the palace, there should be a lot of treasures here." Sima Yi said: "All of it is used to purchase grain and grass, which should be enough for the military and civilians of Huainan to use for one year." ”
"It's a huge expense." Cao Shuo grinned: "It's really a bit painful for a thrifty man like me to suddenly spend so much money." ”
The crowd was full of black lines.
People who haven't been with him may believe him.
He followed him for many days, and all the people knew his character.
Cao Shuo has never been a person who is reluctant to spend money.
Even if he didn't collect too much treasure from Yuan Shu's palace, he would definitely let Lingyun Pavilion take out the money to help the Huainan military and civilians survive the crisis.
Cao Jun soldiers ran around the palace.
From entering the city during the day until sunset, Cao Jun, who led the soldiers to search the palace, came to Cao Shuo.
Holding a black burden in both hands, he handed it to Cao Shuo, and Cao Jun said, "Brother, the jade seal of the country has been found." ”
After receiving the jade seal, Cao Shuo glanced at it and asked Cao Jun, "How much treasure has been collected from the palace?" ”
"Yuan Shu has been fighting continuously in the past two years, but in fact, there are not many." Cao Jun said: "I asked the soldiers not to move all their things out, after all, my brother will live here in the future." ”
"I live here as long as I have the furniture for my daily life." Cao Shuo said: "You took the soldiers to move out all the valuable things in the palace. ”
