Cai Ji was ordered to take Zhang He there.

Cao Shuo was waiting, and a voice came: "Why hasn't Zirong fallen asleep yet?" ”

Hearing this voice, Cao Shuo's head was suddenly full of black lines.

was about to recruit Zhang He, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to come.

Now that Cao Cao is here, it is impossible for him to compete with his father for the generals, and it seems that the Hebei Sitingzhu is not able to accumulate this time.

Cao Shuo turned around, made a big salute to Cao Cao who came over, and asked, "Why hasn't my father slept yet?" ”

"I feel heavy and can't sleep well." Cao Cao said: "On the north bank of the Yellow River, the enemy army still has the advantage, and the future of this battle is still uncertain, how can I sleep?" ”

"Father doesn't need to worry, the situation has already been clear." Cao Shuo said: "The Yuan family has been full of mistakes recently, and the four court pillars of Hebei have all been subordinated to our Cao family. ”

"It's submitted to you!" Cao Cao smiled slightly: "And it's not all." ”

"Submission to me is the same as submission to my father." Cao Shuo said: "I am also the heir of the Cao family, where does my father want me to go, is it possible that I dare not go?" ”

"That's right." Cao Cao said: "Hebei Siting Zhu is now the only one left in the Yuan family......

"It's gone." Before he finished speaking, Cao Shuo took over the conversation: "Feng Ji tried to kill Zhang He, and news also came from Yecheng that his family was slaughtered by the Yuan family. ”

"Huh?" Cao Cao frowned slightly, and asked Cao Shuo, "Is the news really true?" ”

"The news from Fire Dance will never be wrong." Cao Shuo said: "I originally planned to let Huo Wu rescue Zhang He's family from Yecheng, but I didn't expect the Yuan family to be one step ahead of me this time. It's a pity that hundreds of people ......"

"Where is Zhang He now?" Cao Cao asked.

"I sent someone to the other side, and I've already brought him back." Cao Shuo said: "It will be here in a while." ”

"Do you want this person, or do I want it?" Cao Cao smiled slightly and asked Cao Shuo.

"As I said just now, the person who serves my father is not mine, but the person who serves me must be my father's." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "The difference is whether they are stationed in Huainan or in Xudu. ”

"You've already got more than half, just give me this." Cao Cao said: "This time I came to Hebei, you can't let me not even get the slightest benefit?" ”

"What did my father say, if Hebei is broken, the entire Yuan family will not be my father's." Cao Shuo said: "My father got the big head, and what I got was just some bits and pieces. ”

"I didn't get the big head, so I had to pick up some of the bits and pieces." Cao Cao smiled: "You don't need to say more, I have to decide this person." ”

"Whatever my father likes." Cao Shuo didn't argue strongly, and bowed down with his fists.

He has long had a calculation in his heart, as long as he does not make a big mistake in front of Cao Cao, and has made countless meritorious contributions in the southern and northern wars like now, the Cao family will definitely be his in the future.

Why compete with Cao Cao for a general who will fall into his hands sooner or later?

What's more, it was he who sent people to Hebei to rescue Zhang He, and Zhang He already owed him a great favor.

As long as he manages well in the future, although Zhang He is in Xudu, he will definitely be his person in his bones!

Like a mirror in his heart, Cao Shuo certainly couldn't have annoyed Cao Cao because of the competition for Zhang He.

Seeing that he no longer distinguished, Cao Cao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Speaking of which, you are still a filial son." ”

"That's what my father said." Cao Shuo grinned shyly and said: "Parents are heaven, filial piety is of course very important, I can see everything, and the most hated thing is people who don't understand filial piety." ”

"Sharp teeth, I hope your heart is the same as your mouth." Cao Cao said with a slight smile.

While the father and son were talking, Cai Ji walked over quickly.

Seeing that Cao Cao was also there, he was stunned for a moment, and then saluted and said: "Qi Cao Gong, Gongzi, Zhang He has already brought, isn't it ......?"

"Bring him here to meet his father." Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji.

Cai Ji already understood that bringing Zhang He over would definitely not be able to avoid Cao Cao, so he hurriedly responded and led Zhang He to go.

After a while, Chen Zhi and Deng Zhan walked over with Zhang He.

"Could this be a gentleman?" Cao Cao stepped forward quickly, grabbed Zhang He's shoulders, and looked him from head to toe: "Thinner than I imagined." ”

"General Zhang, this is my father." Cao Shuo stepped forward and arched his hand towards Zhang He.

Zhang He knew Cao Shuo and learned that it was Cao Cao who was supporting him, so he hurriedly took two steps back and bowed his head: "Zhang He knocked to see Cao Gong." ”

When crossing the Yellow River, Zhang He was still hesitating in his heart.

He never believed that his family had actually been killed, and he was skeptical of this claim.

Chen Zhi was talking to him all the way, and the fire dance on the side added that when he was about to arrive at the barracks, Zhang He was already convinced of the killing of his family.

Kneeling on the ground, Zhang He cried bitterly and said: "Hebei Yuan family killed my whole family, please Cao Gong must be the master for me, I want to avenge the shame of my family!" ”

Cao Cao stepped forward to help Zhang He and asked Cao Shuo, "Zirong, do you see this matter......

"I think it's better for the general to calm down." Cao Shuo said: "Wait for a few days to see what other news can come from Yecheng." If the previous information was wrong, wouldn't the general have to regret it for the rest of his life? ”

"Could there be a mistake in the news?" Zhang He's eyes suddenly flashed with expectation, and he hurriedly asked Cao Shuo.

"The possibility of a mistake is small, but it is not necessarily impossible." Cao Shuo said: "It was Huo Wu who sent back the news, and my father asked me to order them to rescue the general's family, but they brought me such news, and I have already ordered them to continue to investigate, and be sure to report the most authentic information back." ”

"Zirong is right, I don't want to do irreparable things." Holding Zhang He's hands, Cao Cao said: "It's better to rest for a long time, and when detailed news comes from Yecheng, we will make plans." ”

Zhang He nodded, and said to Cao Cao and Cao Shuo: "Cao Gong and Gongzi Daen, I will never forget it in my life. I was secretly slandered by the villain in Yuan's house, but I didn't expect to come here, and the two of you can still put yourself in my shoes......"

With a sigh, Zhang He turned his face to the side.

Cao Cao patted his arm lightly: "Don't think too much about it, let's rest here in the past few days, and when Zirong gets the confirmed news, we will think about how to avenge the Jun Yi family." ”

"Thank you Cao Gong! Thank you, Childe! Zhang He thanked the father and son again, and Cai Ji stepped forward to take Zhang He away.

"The two armies are facing each other in Guandu, and I don't know how many days it will take to fight, so you should rest early." When Zhang He left, Cao Cao gave Cao Shuo a word and returned to the Shuai tent with Xu Chu.

Seeing Cao Cao go away, Chen Zhi leaned over to Cao Shuo's side and asked in a low voice, "Son, was Zhang Junyi asked by Cao Gong?" ”
