Cui Yan has just arrived in Shouchun, of course, it is impossible to leave immediately.

arranged for him to stay in Shouchun, and Cao Shuo also left the front hall and came to the study.

Huo Wu, who came back from Yecheng to return to her life, is a woman.

Seeing Cao Shuo coming back, she bowed: "Childe is back." ”

"Come into the house and say." Cao Shuo instructed her first, and then said to Deng Zhan: "Invite the third prince too." ”

Walking into the study, Huo Wu was about to return to his life, Cao Shuo said: "Don't be busy talking first, wait for the third prince to come." ”

Fire Dance answered, standing aside and waiting.

Knowing that there was a fire dance coming back from Yecheng, Cao Zhang certainly knew what was going on.

followed Deng Zhan in a hurry, and when he entered the house, he asked Cao Shuo, "Eldest brother, has the matter been done?" ”

"I don't know." Cao Shuo said: "You have to ask Huo Wu about this matter." ”

Looking at Huo Wu standing in the study, Cao Shuo asked, "Have you done the job?" ”

"Back to the son, it's done." Huo Wu said: "Wu Zhen, Zhu Shuo and more than ten people, none of them were missed, and they were all killed. ”

"Wu Zhen is dead, Brother Chong can be blind this time." Cao Zhang clenched his fists and said, "It's a pity that it's cheaper for the second brother." ”

"I also know it's cheaper for him." Cao Shuo said: "However, we can't kill him, kill Wu Zhen and others, not only will my father not blame, but even sent Cui Yan to Shouchun to reward me." But if I kill Cao Pi, there will only be two ways in front of me. ”

"Which two?" Cao Zhang asked.

"First, I turned against the Cao family and seized the country from my father." Cao Shuo asked, "Do you think I can do that?" ”

Cao Zhang shook his head: "If the eldest brother does this, he will definitely be abandoned by the whole world." ”

"The second is that my father takes away my title as a son, and the inheritance of the Cao family will have nothing to do with me in the future." Cao Shuo continued: "This is a method. ”

"Absolutely not." Cao Zhang hurriedly said: "If the eldest brother doesn't take over the Cao family, who else among the brothers can take over?" ”

"Then you can only let Zihuan get away for the time being." Cao Shuo said to Cao Zhang: "Don't worry, one day I will give you a chance to deal with him." ”

He then asked Cao Zhang, "How are you going to deal with Zihuan?" ”

"Actually, I don't know." Cao Zhang said: "I can't kill my second brother. ”

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo said: "Cut off his wings, if he still knows about some accidents, he won't attack his brothers again." If he doesn't understand this, then it's no wonder that I, the eldest brother, are ruthless. ”

Looking at Cao Shuo in amazement, Cao Zhang asked, "Is it possible that the eldest brother wants to ......?"

"One step at a time is one step." Cao Shuo had long made up his mind to get rid of Cao Pi after getting the Cao family, but in front of Cao Zhang, he couldn't say it directly, after all, Cao Zhang and Cao Pi were born to the same mother, and there would be some emotional involvement.

"I obey my eldest brother." From Cao Shuo's words, he didn't hear that Cao Pi would be killed, so Cao Zhang bowed and saluted and said.

Cao Shuo asked Huo Wu again, "Are you sure that Wu Zhen and the others are dead?" ”

"Hui Gongzi, Wu Zhen was killed by my own hands, his neck was about to be strangled by the strings, and it is absolutely impossible to live." Huo Wu said, "Everyone else was stabbed in several key places, and it was impossible to leave a single mouth alive. ”

"You go down first." Cao Shuo motioned for Fire Dance to retreat.

With a bow, Huo Wu, who reported the news, withdrew from the study.

Cao Shuo said to Cao Zhang: "You also pack up and accompany me to Donglai in a few days, Guo Zu's navy has been waiting there for some days." ”

"The eldest brother has finally decided to crusade against Sanhan and Liaodong." Cao Zhang said: "I would like to be a pioneer. ”

"I took you there this time, and I really planned to make you a pioneer." Cao Shuo said: "Sanhan is just some savages, and Liaodong has no fierce generals. Except for Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao, I will not bring anyone else to conquer the north, only you. You've got to behave well. ”

"Please rest assured, eldest brother." Cao Zhang said: "I will not fail in my mission!" ”

Cao Shuo wiped out a group of officials close to Cao Pi and decided to send troops to attack Sanhan and Liaodong, and at this time, the Guiyang army was still facing each other.

He fought with Pang Tong several times, but never got the benefits, and Lu Xun led a large army to join Zhou Yu.

And Pang Tong also led the soldiers and horses, went to the outside of Guiyang City, and joined forces with Xu Shu.

Lu Xun led the army to arrive, and Zhou Yu asked when he saw him: "Let you stop Pang Shiyuan, why did you come here?" ”

"Return to the Grand Governor." Lu Xun bowed down and responded: "I have fought with Pang Shiyuan several times, but I have never been able to do anything to him. I pondered that the two armies were divided, and the number of each was no more than 50,000. If we join forces with the Metropolitan Governor, our army will have 100,000 men. ”

"100,000 people?" Zhou Yu said: "Pang Shiyuan led 10,000 troops, Xu Yuanzhi led 20,000 troops, Cheng Zhongde led 10,000 troops, and the enemy army came to help with a total of 40,000 troops. They brought with them all warriors of a hundred battles, and most of our soldiers were barbarians who lacked discipline. You can't break through Pang Shiyuan with 50,000 people, and now our army is only more than twice as many as the enemy, how many chances do you think there are still to win? ”

"Joining forces with the Metropolitan Governor, I also have an idea not to say unpleasantly." Lu Xun replied.

"Just say whatever you want." Zhou Yu said with some annoyance.

looked left and right, but Lu Xun didn't say anything.

Zhou Yu instructed left and right: "You all retreat first, I have something to say with Bo Yan." ”

The people sitting in the tent got up and took leave.

Only Zhou Yu and Lu Xun were left in the handsome tent.

"There's no one else at this time, just have something to say to me." Zhou Yu said to Lu Xun.

"Do you think it's still necessary for us to besiege Guiyang?" Lu Xun asked suddenly.

"What do you mean by Bo Yan asking?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked him.

"The enemy's 40,000 elites came to help, and our army is just some stragglers." Lu Xun said: "Although there are 100,000 people, they really kill, but our army is definitely not their opponent. Not to mention the siege, whether it can be successfully withdrawn is still two words. ”

"You mean the withdrawal?" Zhou Yu frowned and asked Lu Xun.

"It doesn't matter what I mean, what matters is how the Governor decides." Lu Xun replied.

After staring at Lu Xun with a frown on his face for a long time, Zhou Yu asked, "Do you really think it is more appropriate to withdraw the army?" ”

"I really think so." Lu Xun said: "Now in front of the Grand Governor, there is only one way to withdraw the army. Withdraw as soon as possible, wait until the soldiers are trained well, and then attack Yangzhou. ”

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time before he said to Lu Xun: "What you said may be reasonable, I will consider it carefully." ”

"Wait for the Metropolitan Governor to decide." Lu Xun bowed with his fists and withdrew from the tent.

Seeing Lu Xun leave, Zhou Yu's face became very gloomy.

After a long time, he shouted outside the tent: "Call Zhou Tai!" ”
