Lü Bu's letter was delivered to Xudu a few days later.

After reading the letter, Cao Cao passed it on to Guo Jia and others.

Everyone circulated it one after another, and Xun You said to Cao Cao: "Duke Cao, Lu Bu is showing favor to the second son. ”

"Zirong entered the two cities of Xuzhou and Lianke, and now occupies Fan County and Xue County." Cao Cao said: "Lu Buzhi just wants him to withdraw from the army." ”

"What is Childe's intention in sending this letter back?" Cheng Yu stroked his beard and said as if talking to himself.

Cao Cao looked around at everyone: "What Zhongde proposed is also what I want to ask." Tell me, what is Zirong's intention in asking people to send the letter written by Lu Bu to him? ”

"Gong Cao, Gongzi wants you to send troops as soon as possible." Guo Jia said: "Gongzi did not have many soldiers and horses, and General Yuan Rang entered Xuzhou earlier and was defeated by the enemy. Now Gongzi and General Yuan Rang each defend a city, Xue County is not easy to be breached, but Fan County ......"

"Feng Xiao thinks that Yuan Rang can't hold Fan County?" Cao Cao asked Guo Jia.

"If General Yuan Rang defends Fan County, even if Lu Bu personally conquers, he can't help him." Guo Jia said: "I'm afraid that he will be greedy for merit and miss the opportunity." ”

"My brother will never be greedy for merit." As soon as Guo Jia's voice fell, one of the people sitting there said: "If Gong Cao feels that it is not safe, I am willing to go to Fan County and defend the city with my brother!" ”

It was Xiahoudun's brother Xiahou Yuan who spoke.

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Miao Cai is a little calm, Feng Xiao is just worried, and he didn't say that Yuan Rang will definitely be greedy for merit." ”

Cao Cao said this, and Xiahou Yuan couldn't say anything more, so he had to sit down.

"Gong Cao, let's send someone to talk to General Yuan Rang." Guo Jia said: "Gongzi guards Xue County, and no one in Fan County can control General Xiahou, so it's hard to say whether he will ......."

Guo Jia still insisted that Xiahou Yuan was likely to be greedy for merit, and Xiahou Yuan's face became a little bad.

"In two days, it will be the First Emperor Festival." Cao Cao said: "I plan to use that time to announce the start of the army, as for Yuan Rang ......"

He thought for a moment and said to Xun You: "It's better to go to Gongda!" ”

Xun You got up: "I will live up to the trust of Cao Gong!" ”

"I wrote a letter to Lu Bu, and Gongda went to Xuzhou to go to Zirong first." Cao Cao said: "Let Zirong send someone to send the letter to Xiapi." ”

Cao Cao sent a reply, and Xun Yu left Xudu with his entourage.

At this time, Cao Shuo had been stationed in Xue County for several days.

On the school field of Xue County, the Dragon Pattern Rider and the Flying Bear Camp are all practicing.

The soldiers of each other staggered by, and they would jokingly ridicule each other.

The two elites are not convinced by each other.

Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi stood side by side behind Cao Shuo.

"Neither of you seems to be convinced." Cao Shuo said to the two: "Do you want them to compete?" ”

Chen Zhi said: "Childe said a way, let them compare and compare." ”

"Our Flying Bear Camp has twice as many people as the Dragon-Pattern Riders, and if we compete in formation, it will be too much to bully them." Zhao Yun said with a smile: "It's better to choose ten strong soldiers each, let them fight each other, and see who is better in martial arts." ”

"That's a good idea...... Cao Shuo said with a smile.

He was about to decide to let the Dragon Pattern Rider compete with the Flying Bear Camp, when Cai Ji ran over in a panic.

When he arrived in front of Cao Shuo, Cai Ji whispered something in his ear.

Cao Shuo was stunned: "Where are the people?" ”

"It's the government." Cai Ji said: "I've already asked people to tie him up, do you want to go and see it?" ”

"What are you doing tying him up?" Cao Shuo said: "There are many solutions to this kind of thing, and the one you choose is precisely the worst." ”

"Childe taught a lesson!" Cai Ji responded.

"I'll talk about the competition next time!" Cao Shuo stood up and said to Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi, "I have some important things to deal with now. ”

Zhao Yun and Chen arrived and watched Cao Shuo leave.

Taking Cai Ji out of the barracks, Cao Shuo said: "I told you a long time ago that you should keep an eye on them at all times, you are better to be a deaf ear." ”

"It's all my fault!" Cai Ji said: "I didn't expect them to do such a thing......

"It's nothing like that." Cao Shuo said: "There are still few soldiers in the army who do this kind of thing? The key is, how can you make people get into trouble with the government? They don't have a way to deal with it? ”

"It is said that the family asked them to be responsible, but they refused." Cai Ji said: "This is the official mansion. ”

"Before the knot in his heart is opened, he runs to harm others." Cao Shuo clenched his fists and said, "Look if I can spare them!" ”

When Cao Shuo returned to the official mansion, there were many people from Xue County in front of the main gate of the official mansion.

One by one, the people stretched out their heads, trying to see what was inside.

"Do you want to go in and see?" When he arrived, Cao Shuo shouted.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Two guards stepped forward to drive the people away: "The son is here, why don't you get out of the way quickly!" ”

The people got out of the way.

Cao Shuo said: "Don't drive them away, let them go inside!" ”

Walking through the crowd, when Cao Shuo entered the official mansion, Cai Ji asked in a low voice: "Childe, do you really want the people to come in and watch?" ”

"They're both shameless, and I'm going to save face for them?" Cao Shuo glared and said, "Bring them out for me!" ”

Cai Ji responded and ordered the guards to lead people.

There were more than a dozen men and women kneeling in the front yard of the official mansion.

Hearing Cao Shuo say that he wanted to take someone, a man about forty years old who was kneeling first hurriedly shouted: "I implore the son to be the master of the little girl!" ”

As soon as he shouted, the others cried and cried.

"Don't kneel here, go inside and talk." Cao Shuo commanded and walked directly to the front hall.

Coming to the door of the front hall, Wei Tu greeted him.

Saluted to Cao Shuo, Wei Tu and Cai Ji looked at each other.

"Childe." Following Cao Shuo into the house, Wei Tu said: "They didn't make a big mistake, but they slept with two women and refused to be responsible......"

"If you don't want to be responsible, why do you want to sleep with someone's house?" Cao Shuo said: "What are the origins of those two women? ”

"They are all daughters of good families." Cai Ji, who followed behind, replied: "The two women are sisters, and their family has opened a dyeing workshop in Xue County......

"The one who runs the dyeing shop." Cao Shuo said: "Then it's not the woman in the Fengyue Field!" When you are lonely and bored, you can go to Fengyue Field to find a woman, and I will never interfere! If you don't like the women in the Fengyue Field, you can also have something with the folk girls. The daughters of good families are different from those in Fengyue Field, and when they sleep, you have to think about whether you will be responsible. ”

"Have you investigated yet?" Cao Shuo asked Cai Ji and Wei Tu again: "What is the reason for them, and what kind of thing did they have with Minsheng?" ”

"Originally, it was also wishful thinking, but people wanted to marry, but they refused to marry." Cai Ji replied: "After coming and going, it became like this. ”
