Cao Shuo didn't knock open Zhang Chunhua's door.

Zhang Chunhua has indeed not grown up yet.

In another two years, when she reaches the age of marriage for women in the Han Dynasty, Cao Shuo will no longer feel guilty.

Meimei slept all night, and the next morning, Cao Shuo was still in the bed, and the voice of the guard came from outside the door: "Childe, Cao Gong is invited." ”

"What time is it?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's already hour." The guard replied.

Back in Xudu, Cao Shuo generally doesn't get up early.

The winters of this era were much colder than they were 2,000 years later.

The warm bedding was a great temptation for him.

Cao Cao asked him to pass, of course he couldn't lie under the covers.

Reluctantly leaving the bed, Cao Shuo washed up and rushed to Cao Cao's residence.

When he arrived at the place, he saw several people sitting in Cao Cao's room.

Xun Yu, Xun You, Guo Jia and other strategists were all there, and Kong Rong was also in the house.

After saluting everyone, Cao Shuo sat at the end.

"Your Majesty's decree has been issued." Cao Shuo asked, "When will Kong Jiangzuo leave?" ”

"Today." Kong Rong said: "Rewarding Yuan Shao determines whether Cao Gong has a chance to recuperate, and he can't delay it for a day." ”

His eyes fell on Cao Shuo's face, and Cao Cao said: "Kong Jiangzuo, I have a request, please be sure to agree." ”

"Gong Cao has orders, just say it." Kong Rong said.

"Zirong has just recovered from a serious illness and lacks experience." Cao Cao said: "He hasn't seen anything in the world, this time he goes to Hebei, you take him for a walk." ”

"Childe is a hero in Wancheng." Kong Rong said: "With him going to Hebei together, persuade Yuan Shao to have a few more points." ”

"Since Kong Jiangzuo has no objection, I will practice it for the two of you today." Cao Cao said.

"You don't have to practice it." Kong Rong said: "When Gongzi and I return to Xudu, Cao Gong will celebrate the two of us!" ”

"Since Kong Jiang said so, I will wait for the two of you to celebrate." Cao Cao said with a slight smile.

Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao said: "This time I went to Hebei, everything must be under the orders of General Kong, and I can't be willful." ”

"Father, rest assured." Cao Shuo said: "I just want to open my eyes, have more knowledge, and won't make trouble for Kong Jiang." ”

"What do you have to say?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

Xun Yu and the others did not respond.

"There's nothing to say, let's go our separate ways." Cao Cao said: "Zirong stays, I have something to say to you." ”

Everyone left one after another, leaving only Cao Cao and Cao Shuo father and son in the room.

"What are your plans to go to Hebei this time?" Cao Cao asked Cao Shuo.

"Don't dare to deceive my father." Cao Shuo said: "I haven't arrived in Hebei yet, and I don't know what to do. ”

"I didn't have a plan to go to Hebei even though I knew I was going to." Cao Cao said, "What do you think you want to do?" ”

"It's not that there is no plan." Cao Shuo said: "But I think it's useless to plan in advance. ”

"How could it be useless?" Cao Cao asked.

"A lot of things can only be decided at the end of the day." Cao Shuo said: "For example, I planned to make friends with the son of the Yuan family, but when I arrived in Hebei, I found that the third son fell in love with me. Could it be that I'm going to tie up with the eldest son, but I'm estranged from the third son? ”

"Sharp teeth, Hebei is not like being at home, and Yuan Shao is not your father." Cao Cao said: "In front of Yuan Shao, it's better to be more restrained." ”

"The kid remembers!" Cao Shuo responded.

"Let me prepare, what did you bring?" Cao Cao asked.

"There's nothing to bring." Cao Shuo said: "A few followers, a long sword, and a short sword. ”

Cao Cao shook his head: "If my father didn't give you orders, you don't know how to prepare some wealth for the Yuan family." ”

"I don't have to prepare those at all." Cao Shuo said: "General Kong will read out the holy decree and point out the Yuan family, of course he will go." ”

What Cao Shuo said was not unreasonable, Cao Cao couldn't find fault with it.

He waved his hand: "Go, say goodbye to your mother, and follow Kong Rong to Hebei today!" ”

Cao Shuo retreated.

Leaving Cao Cao's residence, he instructed his personal guards: "Go to the barracks and find Sima Yi, Chen Wu, and Liu Shuang, and I will take them on the road!" ”

One of the guards departed.

Cao Shuo took another guard and went to Ding Yao's residence.

The door of Ding Yao's residence was closed.

Cao Shuo knocked lightly, and a maid opened the door.

Seeing that it was him outside the door, the maid greeted: "Childe is here!" ”

"What about Mother?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Mrs. Bian is leaving, and Madame is sulking." The maid whispered, "Childe will come back later." ”

It was clear why Ding Yao was sulking, Cao Shuo said: "I don't have time to wait any longer, I must knock on my mother immediately." ”

"Is Zirong coming?" Ding Yao's voice came from inside.

"It's the child." Cao Shuo responded.

"Come in." Ding Yao said: "I happen to have something to say to you. ”

Cao Shuo entered the house.

"Did you come to see me on purpose, was it for Bian Xi?" As soon as he saluted, Ding Yao asked.

"It's not." Cao Shuo said: "I also think she should go back to sharpening her temper." ”

"Your Bian mother's mother came here just now." Ding Yao said: "She said a lot of good things and wanted to keep Bian Xi in the Cao family. How can I change what I decided, I have already sent her away. ”

"I didn't come to see my mother for Bian Xi." Cao Shuo said: "I said goodbye to my mother. ”

"What did your father tell you to guard?" Cao Shuo resigned, and Ding Yao frowned: "Why can't he see which son I am better for?" Your brother died in Wancheng, I just left you in the room, he first sent you to guard the cemetery, and now he wants you to go out. ”

"My father wanted me to go to Hebei for training." Cao Shuo said: "Mother rest assured, there will be a hole to do, and I will be fine." ”

"Kong will be made?" Ding Yao asked, "Is it the former Beihai Ling Kong Rong?" ”

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "Kong Rong is very talented, with him by his side, my mother should rest assured." ”

"I don't care if he has the talent or not." Ding Yao said: "I don't have a son anymore, and I don't want to lose another one." ”

"Mother loves me, I know it." Cao Shuo said: "But I also think I should do something for the Cao family, after all, I am a member of the Cao family!" ”

"I heard that Hebei is colder than Xudu." Cao Cao decided to send Cao Shuo to Hebei, Ding Yao knew that she couldn't change anything, and said to Cao Shuo: "Bring more clothes, no one takes care of you outside, pay more attention to yourself." ”

"Mother, don't worry, I've grown up." Cao Shuo said.

"Don't take Bian Xi's affairs to heart." Ding Yao said: "I just asked her to go home and reflect, if you really like her, you can pick her up sooner or later." ”

"I'm not in Xudu, and if she stays here, she will make trouble with Chunhua." Cao Shuo said: "Mother asked her to go back first, but she did me a great favor!" ”
