Chapter 697: You Zirong entertains guests
The day after Liu Xie corrected Liu Bei's name, a team of people came from Qingzhou.
Leading this team were Zhang Liao and Sun Guan.
In addition to the two of them, they also brought several generals that Cao Shuo did not recognize.
As soon as the team entered the city, Cao Cao asked people to invite Cao Shuo.
When he came to Cao's house, as soon as he entered the front hall, Cao Shuo saw Zhang Liao and others sitting in the hall.
Except for Zhang Liao, Sun Guan and the few generals they brought from Qingzhou, there were only Cao Cao and Xu Chu in the hall.
Seeing Cao Shuo coming, everyone got up one after another to salute.
Cao Shuo returned the salute and asked Cao Cao: "Did my father call me over to meet a few generals from Qingzhou?" ”
Cao Cao smiled and said to him, "These people are all from Qingzhou. ”
He introduced Zang Ba, Wu Dun, Rampant Xi and others to Cao Shuo one by one.
When Cao Cao introduced Rampant Xi, Cao Shuo's face smiled even brighter, and he said to Rantine: "I have long heard of the general's prestige, but I have not had the opportunity to meet him in the past. ”
Rampant is a fat man with a round shape.
He had also heard of Cao Shuo's name.
Especially Cao Shuo's several battles in which he won more with less made him admire it even more.
"The second son's prestige is like thunder." Rampant Xi hurriedly said: "I didn't expect to hear of the last general. ”
Cao Shuo muttered in his heart, I heard that he had heard of it, but it was not a good reputation.
Thinking so in his heart, Cao Shuo wouldn't say that, and praised Rampant Xi a few more words, and he greeted Zang Ba, Wu Dun and others.
When Cao Shuo saw everyone, Cao Cao said: "The generals have come all the way from Qingzhou, and I will let Zirong entertain me today." ”
Speaking of this, Cao Cao lowered his voice and said to Zang Ba and the others: "Let Zirong entertain him because he has a lot of good places in Xudu, which is better than me to arrange!" ”
"My father asked me to entertain, and of course I will take care of several generals with all my heart." Cao Shuo saluted.
Zang Ba and the others didn't quite understand what Cao Cao meant, but when he said so, he had no choice but to respond.
Among the generals present, only Sun Guan and Cao Shuo were old acquaintances, and of course he knew that Cao Shuo would entertain there.
Seeing that Sun Guan was a little impatient, Cao Shuo said to Cao Cao: "If my father has nothing important, I will take a few generals around the city first." ”
"Go ahead!" Cao Cao said: "The banquet for several generals will be set up at noon tomorrow." ”
Including Cao Shuo, everyone told Cao Cao to retreat.
Exiting the front hall, Sun Guan leaned over to Cao Shuo's side and asked in a low voice, "Where does Gongzi plan to take us?" ”
"Knowingly asked." Cao Shuo smiled and said: "When you come to Xudu, where else can you go for recreation?" ”
"Blessed are the generals!" After getting Cao Shuo's words, Sun Guan said to Zhang Liao and the others: "Xudu Lingyun Pavilion is the brainchild of the son. Not only are the dishes delicious and the wine mellow, but there are also beauties from all over the world, which will surely make several generals linger! ”
Zhang Liao is a decent person and is not very fond of beauties.
Zang Ba and others are all born as yellow turban thieves.
Especially Rampant Xi and Wu Dun, they are even more gangster, and of course they like beauties very much.
Hearing that there are beauties from all over the world, Rampant Xi asked Cao Shuo: "Dare to ask Gongzi, do you want to take us to Lingyun Pavilion?" ”
"General Sun has already said that if I don't take you generals there, won't I slap his face?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "When I came to Xudu, I held a banquet in Lingyun Pavilion. ”
Wu Dun swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva and asked Cao Shuo, "Second Prince, I have heard that Lingyun Pavilion is a good place to go, but I don't know where the beauties there come from?" ”
"It's everywhere." Cao Shuo said: "There are Jiangnan people, there are also Bashu Jiaoniang, of course there are many beauties in the Central Plains." What's more, there are many beauties from foreign countries. ”
"Exotic?" Rampant Xi licked his lips, and asked Cao Shuo with a squinting face, "Are there any beauties in the Western Regions?" ”
"Not to mention the Western Regions, if it happens to happen, there are also Great Qin beauties." Cao Shuo said: "When the generals come to Xudu, of course they will let you eat and have fun. ”
"Childe is so hospitable, how can we be embarrassed to ......" Zang Ba said: "Thinking of being an enemy of Cao Gong at the beginning, I feel panicked in my heart!" ”
"In the troubled times, before we really put into service, we are enemies today and friends tomorrow, and no one can tell who we will fight with after the sun rises." Cao Shuo said: "Let the past pass, the generals have now voted for the Cao family, as long as you can do your best for the Cao family in the future, your father will definitely not thin you." ”
"I heard that Gongzi got Huainan some time ago." Rampant Xi asked, "Is there any Lingyun Pavilion there?" ”
"Yes, yes." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that when I left, Shouchun's Lingyun Pavilion had not yet been built, and when I went back, it should have opened for business." ”
"I have long heard that Gongzi can fight well, and his subordinates are even braver." Rampant Xi said: "If you can follow Gongzi back to Huainan, it will be a great luck in this life!" ”
Cao Shuo grinned at him and asked, "Is the general planning to return to Huainan with me?" ”
"That's what I do." Rampant said: "I'm afraid that Gongzi won't take it in!" ”
"Whether I take it in or not is secondary." Cao Shuo said: "The general is brave, and my father has heard about it a long time ago, but I am afraid that he will not be willing to let the general leave!" ”
"There are a few generals who stay here, it doesn't matter if I stay or not." Rampant Xi said: "If Gongzi is willing to take me in, I will ask Cao Gong." Anyway, they are all serving the Cao family, and Cao Gong should not agree. ”
"Father loves talent, I'm afraid this matter may not be so easy to do!" Cao Shuo said: "But the general can also give it a try, maybe my father will be approved!" ”
Before Rampant Xi came to Xudu, Cao Shuo thought about killing him.
But he didn't expect that Rampant Xi would actually propose to follow him back to Huainan on the day he arrived in Xudu.
As long as you can bring Rampant Xi to Huainan, it is not difficult to restrain him.
Secretly weighed it, and killed Rampant Xi in Xudu, after all, it was better to take him back to Huainan.
Under Cao Cao's nose, Rampant Xi did not make a mistake, and it is still two to say whether he can kill him.
If he is really brought back to Huainan, not only can he make good use of it to make Rampant not turn against the Cao family, but he will also not have a reputation for murdering virtuous people.
There was a sense of relief in Cao Shuo's words, and Rampant Xi hurriedly said: "If the son is willing, I will go back and make a request to Cao Gong!" ”
"The general doesn't have to bother, it's the same tomorrow." Cao Shuo stopped him.
Coming to the main gate of the Cao family, the generals' entourage had already prepared sycophants for them.
Walking to the side of the "Snow Fox", Cao Shuo turned over his horse and said to everyone: "Lingyun Pavilion is in the west of the city, not very close to here, you still ride a horse and follow me!" ”
Everyone responded, and each jumped on his horse with the support of the guards.
