It took more than ten days to build the Jingguan with 20,000 Xiongnu corpses before the soldiers of the Cao army completed it.

From a distance, it looks like there is a small hill on the flat land on the bank of the originally flat river.

In Cao Shuo's handsome tent, Tian Feng was playing chess with him.

Putting down a sunspot, Tian Feng said: "Childe's chess skills are becoming more and more exquisite. ”

"Yuan Hao is fooling me again." Cao Shuo pouted and smiled: "The successive battles continue, and it is not enough to return to Shouchun and linger with the ladies, how can there be time to play chess." It would be strange if my chess skills were good. ”

"But I think Childe's chess skills are not only more exquisite, but also full of killing spirit." Tian Feng said: "The offensive is fierce, and people can't help but feel chills in their hearts. ”

"Is that really that exaggerated?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

"Yes, there really is!" Tian Feng said: "There is just a sentence I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Say." Cao Shuo said: "I know what kind of person you are, even if you don't let you say it, you will definitely say it." When I can't find it myself, why bother? ”

"It's still childe who understands me." Tian Feng smiled: "Actually, I just said what I thought I should say." ”

"If you think you have nothing to say, there are only two possibilities." Falling a white child, Cao Shuo said: "Either I have done it perfectly, or you think that I am no longer worthy of assistance, there is no need to talk nonsense with me." ”

Tian Feng didn't say anything, just looked at Cao Shuo silently.

"Perfection is impossible, as long as it is human, it will not be perfect." Cao Shuo said: "The day you don't speak, that is, we have nothing to say." There is no loss for you, you take it, and the family lives happily. But for me, the loss is great. ”

"Childe can see through this, as long as I understand things, I will never say nothing." Tian Feng arched his hand and said.

"The more high-ranking people are, the more they need to have a few people around to tell the truth." Cao Shuo said: "Of course, what I'm talking about is someone like you who can see the good and bad and can bring up what I did wrong in time." Not the scum who sharpened their heads, stared at my shortcomings all day long, or simply didn't count them at all, and came up with a crime purely by themselves. ”

"There are really a lot of people in the world like Childe said." Tian Feng said: "Envy, jealousy to the point of hatred, so they will play the most despicable side of willfulness and criticize the son. ”

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo said: "Could it be that Yuan Hao thinks that I am a person with soft ears and roots that listen to any opinion?" ”

"Of course Childe isn't." Tian Feng asked: "Do you think that when you come to Hedong this time, our army slaughtered the Huns, and it was a bit too much?" ”

"Even you say that?" Cao Shuo asked, "Don't you understand the reason why I killed the Huns?" ”

"Yes, of course I do." Tian Feng said: "Fortunately, Gongzi ordered not to accept surrender, most of the Huns died on the battlefield, but the Aries King ......"

"So what, kill a few captives?" Cao Shuo said: "When the Huns came to the Central Plains, once they occupied a certain place, they killed more than just prisoners. ”

"That's what Childe said." Tian Feng said: "I have no objection to killing the Huns, I am the same as Gongzi, I hate to exterminate the Huns, so that they can no longer bully the people of the Central Plains." But now the Cao family does not dominate the world, not even the north, and the prince does ...... do this."

"What do you mean......" Cao Shuo asked.

"I heard that King Zuoxian of the Huns no longer worries about his life." Tian Feng said: "King Zuoxian's status in the Xiongnu is second only to Da Dan Yu, if the prince can convince him......"

"How do I convince him?" Cao Shuo asked: "Is it possible not to kill him, and I have to personally escort him to the Hetao?" ”

"Not really." Tian Feng said: "King Zuo Xian fell into the hands of our army, as long as Gongzi and I make a game for him, he will definitely be grateful to Gongzi." The Huns grew up on horseback and were indeed strong, but they were very simple-minded. ”

"What is Yuan Hao going to do?" Cao Shuo asked.

The corners of Tian Feng's mouth hooked up a light smile, and he told Cao Shuo his plan.

After Tian Feng finished speaking, Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "They all say that I have many ideas to pit people, but I didn't expect you to pit people better than me." With such a fuss, Qubei not only hated me, but also thought that if it weren't for me, he would have been killed a long time ago. Back to the Xiongnu, even if the Xiongnu only asked, it had nothing to do with me. ”

"As long as the matter is not provoked by the son, the Huns will not be fine." Tian Feng said: "I know that Gongzi has long had the idea of fighting with the Huns, but now is not the time. ”

Zhong Kun had previously mentioned this matter to Cao Shuo.

After Cao Shuo said something, Zhong Kun didn't say more.

Now that Tian Feng has brought it up again, Cao Shuo also has to carefully consider his current attitude towards the Huns.

"Okay, do as you say." After thinking for a while, Cao Shuo said to Tian Feng: "You go and prepare, what do you want me to do, I will do everything according to it." ”

"This game of chess ......" Tian Feng asked, looking at the chessboard on the table.

"We are in the next game called Tianxia. It doesn't matter if you can't play this game. Cao Shuo arched his hand and said, "Whether you can fool and go humble, it depends on Yuan Hao." ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Tian Feng said: "I will definitely make his life not easy, and I will be grateful to my son." ”

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo said, "Yuan Hao go." ”

Tian Feng retired and left.

Cao Shuo was about to get up and leave the tent, when Cai Ji lifted the curtain and walked in: "Childe, look who is back." ”

"All the fuss, who else can come back?" Cao Shuo glared at him and asked angrily.

Cai Ji didn't say anything, just withdrew and stood aside.

A man walked in from outside the tent.

The man was disheveled, with a beard and a dirty beggar.

Seeing this person, Cao Shuo was stunned at first.

When he saw his face clearly, he was also very happy to step forward and take the hand of the visitor: "Why are you back?" ”

It was Cao Jun who came back.

His hands were held by Cao Shuo, and Cao Jun burst into tears before he could speak: "Brother, I'm back......"

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back!" Cao Shuo led him to sit down in the tent, and when Cao Jun sat down, Cao Shuo asked, "Where have you been after walking for so long?" ”

"My brother asked me to survey and map the map, and I first walked through the Central Plains, and then went to Hanzhong and Yizhou." Cao Jun said: "I was going to Shouchun, but I heard that my brother came here with troops, so I came directly. ”

"You should go back to Shouchun first." Cao Shuo said: "At least I live at home more steadily than here, follow the army, and I don't know when I will fight again." After walking so much, you can't stand the hard work anymore! ”
