Chapter 1280: It's okay to keep a hostage

After the Wuyuan County Guard sent two women, and after Cao Shuo's subordinates, he left with a thousand thanks, as if he had received some benefits from Cao Shuo.

Looking at his back, Cai Ji pursed his lips: "This county guard is really interesting, he sent a woman to Gongzi, but he thanked Gongzi instead." ”

"Of course I know what he's thinking." Cao Shuo said: "That's why I will keep them." ”

Looking at the two women, Cai Ji said, "I'll arrange for them to rest first......

"Where to rest?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's not to stay and serve the son......" Cai Ji was stunned and said, "Of course it's ......"

"Send it to the two generals, Ma Chao and Pang De." Cao Shuo said: "I haven't invited the credit of the two generals for breaking through the Yuan army. Send two concubines first, and say that they will take care of their daily life. ”

"The county guard gave it to Childe, but Childe gave it to someone else." Cai Ji said: "I don't know what the county guard will think if he knows. ”

"It was given to me, and it was mine." Cao Shuo grinned: "If I give it away again, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with him." ”

"In case the two generals Ma Chao and Pang Tong refuse to accept it, do you want to bring it back?" Cai Ji asked Cao Shuo.

"Don't talk about concubines, just say that it's a woman who takes care of the two generals." Cao Shuo said: "I didn't send women to sleep with them, what do they have to refuse?" What's more, one of them is given to Pound, if Ma Chao doesn't accept it, Pound will definitely not accept it. In order to win over his generals, Ma Chao also had to accept it. ”

"It turns out that Childe has even calculated this." Cai Ji said: "I'll send them here." ”

greeted the two women, and Cai Ji took them away.

Seeing them go away, Cao Shuo raised his face and looked at the snowflakes in the sky.

I don't know when this snow will fall, and when the snow stops, Gohara should already be a kingdom wrapped in ice sculptures......

The first snow fell in Gohara for three days.

The soldiers stationed in the city still practiced on time every day.

The entire Wuyuan City is only lively when the soldiers are practicing.

Men and women would come running over to watch while they were practicing.

The 100,000 elite soldiers, all of whom were mighty and majestic, and the people of Wuyuan, who had been bullied by the Huns for many years, finally felt that the day of raising their eyebrows was coming.

Cao Shuo was stationed in Wuyuan, and Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan in Hebei did not stop.

The two sides attacked again, and Yuan Tan's march into Yecheng was unsuccessful, and Yuan Shang chased and beat him all the way.

Almost desperate, he could only choose to surrender to the Cao family and save his life by clinging to the Cao family.

Xu Du Cao's family.

Cao Cao sat in the antechamber.

Yuan Tan, Xin Ping, Xin Bi and others stood in the hall with their heads bowed.

On both sides of the front hall sat the generals and staff of the Cao family.

Looking at Yuan Tan, Cao Cao asked, "Xiansi, what's wrong?" A few days ago, I was still in high spirits, why do you look so embarrassed now? ”

Yuan Tan sighed and said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong don't want to make fun of me, I was persecuted by the third brother in the family, and now I am poor and poor, so I can only come to serve Cao Gong." ”

Smiling slightly, Cao Cao asked, "I was in Shouchun at the beginning, why didn't Xiansi vote for him?" ”

"Although my father is Shouchun, he is very strictly guarded by Zirong." Yuan Tan replied: "Now that Zi is in the Hetao, I don't know when I will return to Shouchun." Instead of being turned away there, it is better to come directly to Xudu and show loyalty to Cao Gong. ”

Cao Cao smiled slightly, and said to Yuan Tan: "I don't know if Xiansi is loyal or not, but if you come to vote for me, I won't treat you badly." You stay in Xudu first, and in a few days I will have someone send a letter to Zirong to see what official title he plans to give you. ”

When Cao Cao said this, Yuan Tan was stunned.

He has been against the Cao family for a long time, and this time he didn't plan to get too many benefits from coming to Cao Cao, as long as he could save his life.

Unexpectedly, Cao Cao not only did not hold a grudge against the past, but also discussed with Cao Shuo and gave him an official title.

Yuan Tan just didn't understand why he had to get Cao Shuo's consent if he really wanted to give him an official title......

Surprised in his heart, Yuan Tan didn't ask his doubts.

"Someone!" Cao Cao shouted outside the hall.

A guard walked in.

Cao Cao instructed: "Arrange a place for Xiansi Gongzi to live, and let him go down to rest first." ”

The guard answered, and then said to Yuan Tan: "Childe, please come with me!" ”

Yuan Tan and the others followed the guards and left.

Xun You asked Cao Cao: "Cao Gongzhen believes that Yuan Xiansi is honest and effective?" ”

"He is desperate now, what can he do if he doesn't come to work?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"I always felt like he wasn't genuine." Xun You said: "Cao Gong still has to be more vigilant. ”

"Gongda, don't worry, people from the Yuan family, of course I will be more careful." Cao Cao said: "Yuan Tan came to vote for me, but it was just an expedient measure. When he is full-fledged, sooner or later he will betray me. ”

He asked everyone present: "I plan to marry Yuan Tan, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Is Cao Gong going to marry Miss Yuan Tan, or what?" Xun Yu asked on the side.

"Yuan Tan is not young anymore, and I don't have a suitable daughter to marry him." Cao Cao said: "I heard that he has a daughter, and now he is at a prime age, and I want to marry his daughter for my son." I don't know what you think? ”

"If that's the case, Cao Gong can let it go." Xun Yu said: "Marrying Yuan Tan and leaving his daughter behind is a good way to keep a hostage." ”

Brushing the beard on his chin, the corners of Cao Cao's mouth hooked up a light smile, and said to Xu Chu: "Arrange a messenger to go to Wuyuan, and ask Zirong, what position should Yuan Tan give?" ”

Xu Chu agreed, and then said to Cao Cao: "Cao Gong, Wuyuan is freezing as cold today, but I am afraid that the road has been blocked by heavy snow......"

"Let the messenger ride on horses from the north." Cao Cao said: "Wear more winter clothes, bring him more coils, and try not to sleep in the wilderness on the road." ”

After receiving the order, Xu Chu was about to leave, and Cao Cao said again: "By the way, don't just let one person go, send a few more, if something happens on the way, they can also take care of each other." ”

"Don't worry, Gong Cao, I will definitely arrange it safely." Xu Chu left in response.

Cao Cao asked everyone, "Do you have anything else?" If there's nothing to do, get here first today. ”

"I'll retire!" Everyone got up one after another and said goodbye to Cao Cao and left.

Watching everyone leave, Cao Cao said, "Fengxiao, you stay." ”

was already about to walk to the door, and when he heard Cao Cao greeting, Guo Jia stopped.

Bowing to Cao Cao, Guo Jia asked, "What does Cao Gong command?" ”

"I don't have any instructions, I just want to talk to you about Zirong." Cao Cao said: "He has been going to Wuyuan for some days, and he has not heard any news so far. I'm so worried! ”
