That night, Cao Cao stayed at Ding Yao's residence. ?

Lying on the bed, looking at the beams of the room, Cao Cao did not fall asleep for a long time.

Ding Yao sat beside him and gently rubbed his shoulders for him: "My husband has been looking bad since he came back, who provoked you?" ”

"Zirong is in Xudu, is his reputation too high?" Cao Cao suddenly burst out.

"Zirong is the son of his husband, he has a high reputation, and there is only good and no harm to his husband." Ding Yao was surprised and said, "Could it be that even his own son would be suspicious of his husband?" ”

"Of course not." Cao Cao said: "I'm just worried that the prestige is too high and it won't do him any good." ”

"Why did the husband suddenly come up with such a sentence?" Ding Yao said: "I really don't understand. ”

"The tree is big, and if the prestige is too high, it will inevitably not be envied." Cao Cao said: "I still have to let Zirong leave Xu Du earlier." ”

"If Zirong leaves, I will go with him." Ding Yao said: "With my son by my side, I feel at ease. ”

"Nonsense!" Cao Cao said: "How can a mother follow her son? ”

was reprimanded by Cao Cao, but Ding Yao didn't say anything more.

Gently stroking her back, Cao Cao said: "I know that you love Zirong, why shouldn't I." It's just that he is really swaggering in Xudu, let him go elsewhere to swagger, no matter what, it will be fine, but staying in Xudu, there are many complicated here, maybe someone will target him. ”

"Huainan hasn't taken it yet, where does the husband plan to let him go?" Ding Yao asked.

Cao Cao said: "Not this year, Huainan will fall into the hands of the Cao family, I plan to let Zirong fight Yuan Shu and take Huainan, he can't say anything if he takes advantage of the situation to occupy others." ”

"It's good that the husband has made a decision, there's no need to tell me!" Ding Yao had a trace of unhappiness on his face and said to Cao Cao.

"You are my wife and my mother, how can you not tell you?" Cao Cao said: "If you know this, you don't have to take it to heart." When the son is older, parents can't always stay by their side. ”

Ding Yao sighed softly.

Cao Cao put his arm around her waist and said, "It's not early, let's rest early." ”

Leaving Cao's house, Cao Shuo returned home.

Sima Yi and Pang Tong were still waiting.

Knowing that he was back, the two of them greeted him.

"Has Cao Gong made a decision?" Accompanying Cao Shuo to the back garden, Sima Yi asked.

"The decision has been made." Cao Shuo said: "At first, everyone was against sending troops, saying that Liu Biao would make trouble from behind, but it was I who strongly supported Xun You, and my father made up his mind. ”

"Childe supports Xun You, did the others say anything?" Pang Tong asked.

"It's weird." Cao Shuo said: "There were many people who opposed sending troops before, but as soon as my attitude was clear, no one came out to oppose it, and they all supported sending troops on one side. ”

"Childe thinks this is a good thing or a bad thing?" Pang Tong asked.

"I can't tell." Cao Shuo said: "It doesn't feel like a particularly good thing. ”

"Childe is right!" Pang Tong said: "Everyone's minds have changed with the meaning of the son, and it can only be said that the son is already very strong in Xudu. Now the Cao family is in charge of Cao Gong, the son is strong, although Cao Gong will not feel anything, but will others ......"

"What does Shiyuan mean......" Cao Shuo was stunned for a moment and asked Pang Tong.

"Childe's merits are too high, and his prestige is too high." Pang Tong said: "If you converge in time, it must be a good thing, but if you don't know how to converge, you will become someone else's voice after a long time." Although Cao Gong didn't think anything at this time, there were many people talking in his ear, and he would eventually have something to worry about Gongzi. ”

Looking at Pang Tong, Cao Shuo said, "Shi Yuan continues! ”

"Childe's power is growing day by day, but he can't stay by Cao Gong's side for too long." Pang Tong said: "If you stay by Cao Gong's side, Gongzi will have to reduce his troops, otherwise Cao Gong will also be wary of Gongzi." Over time, good things can turn into bad things. I mean......"

"Take Huainan as soon as possible, there is a place to live." Cao Shuo took Pang Tong's words.

Pang Tong clenched his fists and said: "Childe is really smart. ”

"It doesn't matter if others say I'm smart, I'm a fool compared to the two of you." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "But I also took into account what Shi Yuan said, so I decided to go out this time, and I must take it down with Huainan in one fell swoop." ”

Sima Yi and Pang Tong responded, and Cao Shuo continued: "You two go back and prepare, I will go out of the city early tomorrow morning and mobilize the soldiers who are cultivating fields outside the city." Their days as farmers are temporarily over! ”

"I'll go out of the city overnight to make arrangements." Sima Yi responded.

"You two go first." Cao Shuo said: "These days, we have been busy. ”

Pang Tong and Sima Yi responded, stopped and watched Cao Shuo walk to the back garden, and the two turned to leave.

Back at the residence, Cao Shuo came to Yuan Fang's door.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and the voice of the maid came from the room: "Who is it?" ”

"Me!" Cao Shuo asked, "Has Madame slept?" ”

Hearing that it was Cao Shuo's voice, the maid opened them, turned sideways and said, "The son is back, and the lady has just fallen asleep for a while." ”

"You go back and rest first." Cao Shuo said: "You don't need to serve here!" ”

The maid bowed and withdrew.

Cao Shuo walked to the bedside.

Yuan Fang had already fallen asleep.

She was wrapped tightly in the quilt, and even her head was covered in the quilt.

"Don't pretend, I know you're not asleep." Cao Shuo gently pushed her twice, leaned on the quilt and asked, "Are you waiting for me after washing?" ”

Yuan Fang was silent.

"If you don't say anything, I'll go straight to bed." Cao Shuo said: "I haven't washed it yet, maybe my feet stink a little ......."

"Excuse me?" Yuan Fang lifted the quilt to reveal his head: "As the son of the Cao family, I sleep without washing." ”

"You just wash it." Cao Shuo said: "I only washed it last night. ”

"I ate yesterday, do you want to eat today?" Yuan Fang said: "Quickly ask the maid to fetch water, wash and then sleep." ”

"Can't wait for me to work you?" Cao Shuo blinked his eyes twice.

"Okay, it's okay to sleep with me, you are not allowed to touch me." Yuan Fang said angrily: "Being tossed by you once is like dying." I tossed it last time, but I still haven't eased up. ”

"Am I so good?" Cao Shuo smiled more and more proudly: "You don't have to move, I'll do it." I'm and I won't lose a piece of meat. ”

"It's not going to drop meat, it's going to be dead!" Yuan Fang said: "Anyway, don't touch me tonight." ”

"Not touching you?" Cao Shuo said: "How can you get an extra piece of meat on your body if you don't touch you?" ”

"Come less!" Yuan Fang said angrily: "I've heard that in the past two years, you can't let a woman get pregnant!" ”

"Then I don't care, since I sleep here, I definitely can't spare you!" Cao Shuo shouted outside the house: "Someone, fetch water, my son wants to wash!" ”
