Yang Xiu left Sikong Mansion and did not go back to Yang Mansion directly, but went to Cao Zhi's mansion, he had already blocked all his life on Cao Zhi's body, and Cao Zhi's every move was related to the safety of the entire Yang family.

Cao Zhi's mansion sang and danced, Cao Zhi was drunk like mud, wandering among the flowers and willows, and stripping off the woman's clothes.

"Childe, when is this, you are still playing here, Zhonglang will follow Sikong to crusade against Yuan Shao in three days, aren't you in a hurry at all? Stand down! ”

Yang Xiu hated iron and steel, now that the war is imminent, the city of Xu is heavily guarded, everyone is in danger, and they are preparing for the big war, if it is found by Sikong at this time that Zijian Gongzi's family is still practicing singing and dancing, it will be more serious than the big crime of rebellion.

"Dezu, what are you going to do if you let them step down, and play with my son for a while, anyway, my father won't let me go with me, and no one can control me if I stay here?" Cao Zhi smiled, he and Yang Xiu have always been good friends, no matter what excessive things Yang Xiu does, he will forgive, let alone just remove his singer.

Yang Xiu helped Cao Zhi to sit on the chair beside him, he anxiously paced back and forth in the room, staring straight at Cao Zhi with two deep eyes, and said with a sigh: "Childe, why don't you fight for the opportunity to go to Hebei?" ”

Cao Chong took a sip of tea, shook his head, the wine had gradually woken up, his eyes turned to Yang Xiu, and said faintly: "Father asked me to stay and guard Xu Capital City, how can I fight for it?" ”

"Childe, Sikong favors you more than Zihuan Gongzi!" Yang Xiu's footsteps had stopped, and his lips were slightly activated, "No matter how you fight, Gongzi must fight for it, and now only if you go to meet Sikong yourself, Sikong may agree to let you go to Hebei with you!" ”

"Since my father asked me to guard Xudu, then I will stay in Xudu honestly, why do I have to go to that thankless place?" Cao Zhi still didn't seem to realize the seriousness of the matter, and still said impatiently.

"Because General Zhonglang and General Cao Zhang have gone, and there is General Li Dian in Xudu City, there will be no danger in Xuducheng, on the contrary, if you are on the battlefield and follow Sikong, you can get more opportunities and make Sikong more appreciative, otherwise, why does Zhonglang have to follow?"

Cao Zhi is not an ignorant person, and when he saw Yang Xiu say such a thing, he stared at Yang Xiu without thinking and said, "Then tell me, why does the second brother have to go?" ”

"Because he wants to get one thing, one thing that can influence the general trend of the world - military power!"

Yang Xiu went straight to the death hole!

"Soldier power!?" Cao Zhi stepped forward and forced his gaze at Yang Xiu.

"Exactly!" Yang Xiu raised his head slightly, and his tone was very affirmative, "Gongzi Ang died in the battle against Zhang Xiu, Sikong has not yet determined the candidate for the prince, the situation in Xudu is turbulent today, you are definitely not the only one who covets the throne, sooner or later there will be a big battle between you and Zhonglang General, although Sikong still controls everything, but after a hundred years of death, why can't the successor be Gongzi you?" ”

"How far-sighted is my father, if the second brother wants military power, will my father definitely give it?"

"Zihuan Gongzi does not necessarily want military power, but in order to get the hearts of those generals, now your relationship in the court, do not eliminate the ministers to comment, who Zhonglang will have dealings with, and who is estranged, Gongzi knows that now he is going to the battlefield, he will definitely take the initiative to ask Ying, follow the Cao generals to go into battle to kill the enemy, when it is time to seize the heir, are those generals on your side, or on the side of Zhonglang generals?"

Cao Zhi let out a long sigh, and finally understood what Yang Xiu's purpose was when he came to find him!

"Childe!" Yang Xiu said eloquently, "As far as General Zhonglang is concerned, the hearts of these generals are determined to win, but the people who are attached to General Zhonglang are clearer than anyone else, and apart from me, who clearly supports you, Gongzi, who in the court has made a stand?" They are reluctant to say it, because they can't see this confusing situation clearly, and now Sikong is going to fight against Yuan Shao, this is a great opportunity, as long as the son follows Sikong to go to battle, he can change the general's opinion of you! ”

"What Dezu said is true, but..."Cao Zhi also stood up and paced a few steps, his brows slightly condensed and said, "Even if I go to show my heart to my father now, my father will definitely promise me to let me go with the army?" ”

He was extremely unconfident in his heart, he knew Cao Cao's temper, and the more you wanted to get some things, the more you couldn't get them, but Yang Xiu's understanding of Cao Cao was obviously higher than that of his son.

He knew that what Cao Cao wanted to see was for the two sons to fight, after all, his Cao Cao's son couldn't be like that idle person!

"If you don't fight for it, how do you know that Sikong won't agree, this matter can't be delayed, even if it's only a one-in-ten chance, we have to give it a try!"

Cao Zhi's expression was a little surprised, Yang Xiu's words were equal to nothing, if he couldn't win it after he tried to fight for it, wouldn't it leave a bad impression on his father?

"I don't know what Childe is still hesitating about?" Yang Xiu was obviously a little anxious, "Isn't the current state of affairs clear enough?" You and Zhonglang will be the sons of Sikong, this is on an equal footing, but above the court, Zhonglang General's teacher is Xun Lingjun, that is the dignified court Shangshu Lingling, he said a word, and there will be a few people in the civil service who will not listen! And Childe, why don't you fight for it, are you willing to be such a quagmire person? ”

Cao Zhi sneered: "You said that now that the second brother occupies the right time and place, what should I compare with the second brother?" If I don't fight with him, he will let me go once he achieves the position of a father, and once I fight with him, he will not let me go! ”

"But Gongzi has already taken the first step, there is no turning back from the bow, since ancient times, how many of the children of the emperors and generals are not fratricidal? You are wrong, Zihuan Gongzi did not occupy everything, he did not have your literary talent, and he did not get Sikong's favor, which is not obtained by the day after tomorrow, so if you fight. Sikong will definitely favor you, which is why the minister chose you instead of Zhonglang General! ”

"Okay, then according to what Dezu said, I'll pack up and go into the house to meet my father immediately, and I must let my father take me with me!"

Yang Xiu saw that he had made up his mind, and he was not mediocre, so he immediately smiled and said: "That Weichen is waiting for the good news of the son, I believe that with the son's sharp teeth, he will definitely make Sikong agree, and the minister will retire first!" ”

Yang Xiu went back to his house!
