The morale of the Kentian army stationed outside the city was high, which was somewhat unexpected by Cao Shuo. Read it??? ?

He also thought that a stable life would wear down the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

After walking around the city, Cao Shuo realized that his idea was wrong.

Months of stability not only did not dampen the morale of the soldiers, but on the contrary, they were full of anticipation for the coming war.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong and others remained outside the city.

Cao Shuo returned to Xudu with a few guards.

Before I got to the door, I was greeted by a person.

The guards who followed behind Cao Shuo saw this person walking straight towards Cao Shuo, and they all stepped forward to stop him.

As soon as the guards stepped forward, the man actually stopped, saluted Cao Shuo and said, "My lord invited the second son to his home for a while. ”

"What a bold man!" One of the guards shouted, "Who is your lord?" Dare to invite your son to your home to talk? ”

Cao Shuo stopped the guard and asked the man, "Who is the lord of your family?" ”

"I'm a servant of the military priest's sacrificial wine." Someone came back and forth.

"Who should I be, it turned out to be Guo Gong." Cao Shuo smiled: "You go and tell him, I'll be there in a while." ”

The people retreated, and Cao Shuo instructed the guards: "Let's go to Guo Gong's house." ”

Accompanied by a group of guards, it didn't take long for Cao Shuo to come to Guo Jia's residence.

The servant has already reported to Guo Jiayu.

Knowing that Cao Shuo was coming, Guo Jiaying went out.

"Childe, you're finally here!" Arching his hand, Guo Jia said, "Let's go inside and talk." ”

Jumping off the horse, Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia: "Guo Gong is in such a hurry to find me, is there something important?" ”

"It's important, it's so important!" Guo Jia said: "This is not the place to talk, let's talk about it when we go home." ”

followed Guo Jia into the door, and when he arrived in the backyard, Cao Shuo asked again: "Guo Gong is in such a hurry to call me here, what is it for?" ”

"Childe has any plans to return to Xudu on this expedition?" Guo Jia asked.

"Why does Guo Gong ask that?" Cao Shuo asked rhetorically.

"Yesterday the court meeting, Childe didn't find anything?" Guo Jia asked.

"Guo Gong is saying that after I expressed my attitude, everyone will no longer refute it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Exactly." Guo Jia said: "It seems that the prince has a very high prestige, but it is not a good thing. Childe should leave Xudu as soon as possible, and don't stay here for too long. ”

"I've thought about it." Cao Shuo said: "This time I went to Xuzhou, I plan to take Huainan and sit in Huainan from now on!" ”

"Childe really knows how to choose a place." Guo Jia said: "Huainan is a good place, with developed land and water shipping, but the south and the north. Once Huainan is occupied, as long as he doesn't mess around like Yuan Shu, within a few decades, Gongzi will definitely be prosperous. ”

"I didn't want it for the moment." Cao Shuo smiled: "What I want is the heyday of the first life!" In the future, he will be able to fight for his father in the south and the north, and he will have money and food. ”

"Childe will definitely be able to do it." Guo Jia said: "I invited Gongzi to come, just to remind him that Xu Du really can't stay." ”

"Guo Gong is not the only one who reminds me." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "It seems that I really can't stay in Xudu anymore." ”

"If the tree is big, it will always be framed by the villain." Guo Jia said: "Although the son is talented, it is the Cao Gong who controls the Cao family in front of him after all. Although it is a father and son, if the villain is slandered too much, it is also troublesome. ”

"Thank you Guo Gong for reminding me." Cao Shuo's words changed: "Actually, Guo Gong is not looking for me, I am also coming to you." ”

"Childe has something to say, just say it." Guo Jiaying said.

"I have married Miss Yuan, can Guo Xin also ......" Cao Shuo asked halfway through, and then didn't ask any more.

"What should I do?" Guo Jia said: "When the son takes Huainan, I will send the sister over." ”

"Now that I'm in Xudu, can't I marry Miss Guo?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Of course not." Guo Jia said: "The so-called settling down, the son doesn't even have a place to live now, how can I rest assured that Guo Xin will be sent to the door?" ”

Cao Shuo suddenly had black lines on his head, and said to Guo Jia: "I also have a house in Xudu......

"But that house has lived for too long, but the son is not stable." Guo Jia said with a smile on his face: "Gongzi returned to Xudu a few days ago and killed Wu Zilan without the permission of Cao Gong. Although Cao Gong didn't say anything, do you really think that's appropriate? ”

"I killed Wu Zilan, although my father was not very happy in his heart, he also knew that it was very necessary." Cao Shuo said: "I'm standing up for him!" ”

"Childe is right, he is acting for Cao Gongwei, but fundamentally he is still standing for Childe." Guo Jia said: "The prestige of the prince is too strong, and that's not all Cao Gong has to think about. ”

Looking at Guo Jia, Cao Shuo didn't say anything more.

"If Gongzi really wins Huainan, what are you going to do?" Guo Jia asked.

"What else can I do besides prospering Huainan?" Cao Shuo asked rhetorically.

"Childe knows what I mean." Guo Jia said: "In Xu Ducheng, it will not be successful if you leave Xu Du for too long, there must be someone or something around you that makes Xu Du worry......"

"What does Guo Gong mean ......" Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment.

"Tang Ji!" Guo Jia said: "She stayed in Xudu, and it was impossible for Cao Gong to be favored at any time, and sooner or later she would be killed." If Gongzi brought her to Huainan, it would be a different situation. ”

"I said to take her away, I'm afraid my father won't agree." Cao Shuo said: "After the first emperor's festival, Empress Tang will also become an important figure in the competition of heroes from all walks of life, and my father will be more relieved to leave her in Xudu." ”

"Childe is right, of course you can't bring this up." Guo Jia said: "I can propose it for you." ”

"Why is Guo Gong helping me so much?" Cao Shuo said: "If you let my father know, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

"Gong Cao values me, and Gongzi doesn't treat me as an outsider, I have long been implicated with the Cao family." Guo Jia said with a smile: "The last thing I want to see is the internal friction of the Cao family. Childe's current behavior, as well as the growth of power, have gone beyond the scope of what should be in Xu Du. Let Gongzi continue like this, I am afraid that there will be turmoil in the Cao family in the future. Rather than waiting until then to make good offices, it is better to settle everything that needs to be resolved now. ”

"Guo Gong's affection for the Cao family, I will not forget!" Cao Shuo arched his hand and said, "Since Gong Guo refuses to marry Miss to me now, can I go and meet her?" ”

"It's not like you two haven't seen each other." Guo Jia said: "If you want to see me, you just have to go, do you need to greet me?" ”

"Thank you Guo Gongcheng." Cao Shuo bowed, said goodbye to Guo Jia, and went to Guo Xin.

Looking at the back of Cao Shuo leaving, Guo Jia smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head.

Bidding farewell to Guo Jia, Cao Shuo went straight to Guo Xin's residence.

He is no stranger to Guo Jia's residence, and of course he knows where Guo Xin's room is.
