Cao Shuo led his army back to Haixi, and at this time Cao Cao was busy preparing to march to Wuhuan and completely wiped out the Yuan family.

While still mobilizing the people to dig the river and prepare for the conquest of Wuhuan, Cao Cao got a piece of news.

and the state of the high cadres rebellion.

It was only a few months since Gao Gan joined the Cao family, and after such a short period of time, he launched a rebellion, and it was at the critical moment before he set out to conquer Wuhuan, Cao Cao was of course very annoyed in his heart.

Calling Xun You and the others to the study, Cao Cao asked several of his staff: "Gaogan rebellion, in your opinion, who should I let to pacify?" ”

"If the second prince is in Xudu, Duke Cao should send him." Cheng Yu said: "Now the second son is not here, and the eldest son is at sea again"

"The eldest son is coming back." Xun You said: "I got news from Shouchun that it won't be long before the eldest son will return to Haixi, but he will leave for the northern sea immediately. ”

"Go south in the summer and north in the winter." Cao Cao frowned, and said angrily: "I think Zirong's brain is probably broken." ”

"The eldest son has always been organized." Xun You said: "He must have a reason for arranging this. ”

Everyone nodded.

The higher Cao Shuo's status in the hearts of everyone in Xu Du, the more irritable Cao Cao felt in his heart.

As the son of the Cao family, his status in the hearts of everyone is not a bad thing, but his status is too high, and it is not a good thing for Cao Cao

"Do you want Zirong to go on a crusade?" Cao Cao asked, "Is there no one in Yecheng?" ”

"Returning to Duke Cao, the eldest son's crusade against the state is not any harm to Duke Cao." Xun Yu said: "He just wants Youzhou and other places, and he has no interest in merging states." Cao Gong didn't say it, could it be that the eldest son would still rely on it and not leave? ”

"If someone else might not, but Zirong can't say for sure." Cao Cao said: "He has always been a figure who has to grab a handful of mud when he falls to the ground. Do you think if he wants to stay in Bingzhou, what can I do to get him away? ”

"I think Cao Gong thinks about the eldest son too complicated." Jia Xu said: "The eldest son has always been filial, and Cao Gong doesn't know it, why does he seem to be dissatisfied with him all this time?" ”

"It's not that I'm upset with him." Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty canonized him as the king of Huainan, look at how much territory he has now?" With the two counties of Huainan and Lujiang, and the entire state of Xuzhou, he was not satisfied, and he also took away Qingzhou and Youzhou, he was too big-hearted. ”

Only then did everyone understand where Cao Cao's dissatisfaction with Cao Shuo came from.

Looking at each other, Xun You said, "If Gong Cao is not at ease, send someone over to keep an eye on it." ”

"Who to send?" Cao Cao asked.

The crowd was silent.

Cao Cao continued: "I sent Guo Fengxiao, but now it's good, people are being taken around by him, but I haven't gotten any news." ”

"Cao Gong might as well send someone to Haixi to wait for him first." Xun You said: "Wait until the eldest son goes to Haixi, first convey the order to him, and then talk to Guo Fengxiao to see what the eldest son has been doing recently." ”

"Again, who's going to go?" Cao Cao asked.

There was not a single cry from the crowd.

Guo Jia went to Cao Shuo, and so far there is not even any news, at this time, no matter who is willing to go, Cao Cao will think that he has the intention to follow Cao Shuo.

Looking around at everyone, Cao Cao asked Xun Yu, "Wen Ruo, are you willing to go?" ”

"If Cao Gong asks me to go, of course I will." Xun Yu said: "The eldest son took Guo Fengxiao around, it should be his plan, and it is a good thing for someone to ask clearly, so as not to let Cao Gong always ponder in his heart but not know the truth." ”

"What if you don't come back?" Cao Cao asked.

Xun Yu replied: "If I can't come back, there are only two possibilities. One is that the eldest son really has an unfilial heart, and the other is that I am dead! ”

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao said: "If Wen Ruo doesn't talk nonsense, I'll leave it to you when I go to see Zirong this time." ”

Xun Yu got up and responded: "I will definitely bring the news from the eldest son's side back to Cao Gong." ”

On the return trip, although it was already autumn, Cao Shuo did not brave the sea breeze.

Within a month, he was in Haixi.

As soon as his feet landed on the ground of the Haixi port, he was greeted by a man.

Seeing this person, Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment: "Why is Xun Gong here?" ”

It was Xun Yu who came up with Fu Zhu.

He clenched his fists and bowed to Cao Shuo: "I've seen Gongzi." ”

Cao Shuo returned the salute and asked Xun Yu in surprise: "Could it be that my father has any orders?" ”

"And the state of the high-level rebellion." Xun Yu said: "I heard that the eldest son returned, and Duke Cao ordered me to wait here. ”

When the two were talking, Guo Jia and Guo Xin happened to get off the warship.

Seeing Xun Yu, Guo Jia was about to step forward, but was stopped by Guo Xin.

Looking at Guo Xin in surprise, Guo Jia asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ignoring him, Guo Xin instructed Zhu Ao: "Please General Zhu take his brother to Haixi City to rest first." ”

Zhu Ao said to Guo Jia: "Guo Gong, please come with me." ”

was stopped by Zhu Ao, and Guo Jia could only follow him away.

Seeing Guo Jia, Xun Yu asked Cao Shuo in surprise, "What's wrong with Fengxiao?" ”

glanced back and saw Guo Xin standing there, Cao Shuo knew that it must be her ghost.

He beckoned to Guo Xin: "Come over and see Xun Gong." ”

Guo Xin stepped forward and bowed: "I've seen Xun Gong." ”

"She's my lady." Cao Shuo said to Xun You: "She is also Guo Fengxiao's sister-in-law, and she is also with me when I go to Yizhou this time." Cao Zhang also followed, but he got off the boat earlier than me, and he should have already arrived in Haixi City. ”

Hearing that it was Guo Xin in front of him, Xun Yu hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Madame." ”

"Feng Xiao was taken away by General Zhu just now, and Xun Gong asked what was going on." Cao Shuo asked Guo Xin.

He didn't answer Xun Yu, because he was worried that what Guo Xin said would be different.

A character like Xun Yu is so shrewd that his hair is empty, and as long as he makes a slight mistake, he will definitely be caught.

Instead of making up a reason, it is better to let Guo Xin explain it to him.

Guo Xin said to Xun Yu: "My brother has returned to Shouchun, and his body is no longer very good. followed her husband to Yizhou once, and he was already ill at sea, which would be a forced disembarkation. He was going to see Xun Gong, but I was worried that his body would not be able to support him, so I asked General Zhu to take him away first. ”

Guo Xin's answer was a reason, and Xun Yu didn't want to ask too much, so he had to say: "What Madam said is that Fengxiao's body was not very good in the past, so he should be allowed to rest more." ”

"There is a record of Lao Xun Gong." Guo Xin said: "I will definitely keep an eye on my brother and will not let him work too hard again." ”
