The Cao army withdrew from Wuhuan to Yecheng, and it stands to reason that there should be no fighting recently.

The maid said that Cao Cao sent someone to invite, or because of urgent military affairs, Cao Shuo was a little puzzled.

But he still stood up and said to Ding Yao: "Mother, I can't eat the meal, let the maid warm it for me, and I'll come back to eat after meeting my father." ”

"I don't know what kind of military affairs are all day." Ding Yao said with some dissatisfaction: "You have been busy for a day, you haven't taken a breath yet, and you have to discuss the war again." ”

She then sighed and said, "Since it was your father who called it, then you should go quickly." Come back early after talking. ”

Cao Shuo said goodbye and left Ding Yao's residence.

It was Xu Chu who was waiting outside.

Seeing Xu Chu, Cao Shuo asked, "What kind of military affairs is it, and when my father is going to talk to me?" ”

"Just now there was news from Xiliang, saying that Ma Teng and Han Sui turned against each other, and the two fought." Xu Chu said: "Gong Cao invited Gongzi over, probably to discuss how to deal with it. ”

"The two of them beat them, what's the matter with our Cao family?" Hearing that it was Xiliang Ma Teng and Han Sui who fought, Cao Shuo said: "I thought that where was it against our Cao family, my father asked me to lead the army to fight." ”

"Not really." Xu Chu said: "I also happened to be by Cao Gong's side, so I got the news. When Gongzi saw Cao Gong, he must not say that he already knew what was going on. ”

"Brother Zhongkang, don't worry." Cao Shuo said: "How could I sell you." ”

Xu Chu smiled, and asked when he walked forward with Cao Shuo: "As a prince, will the son often come to Yecheng in the future?" ”

"Yecheng must be coming often." Cao Shuo grinned at him: "If I don't stay here for a long time, who knows if someone will secretly play tricks and snatch the position of my son." ”

"The world is all canonized, who else dares to make ghosts?" Xu Chu said: "If someone is a ghost, I will go and screw his head off first." ”

"If it's the son of the Cao family who is doing the trick, will Brother Zhongkang also go and screw their heads?" Cao Shuo asked with a smile.

Stunned by his question, Xu Chu was stunned and asked, "Childe is suspicious......

"I don't doubt anything." Cao Shuo smiled calmly and said to Xu Chu: "Just say it casually, Brother Zhongkang don't take it to heart." ”

Although Cao Shuo said this, Xu Chu was muttering in his heart.

Accompanying Cao Cao every day, of course he knew something about what happened in Wuhuan.

Although no one found out what happened, Xu Chu could figure out what was going on even if he was stupid.

Accompanied Cao Shuo to the door of Cao Cao's study, Xu Chu stepped forward and said: "Qi Cao Gong, the son is here!" ”

"Let him in!" Cao Cao's voice came from the house.

Cao Shuo entered the study, saluted Cao Cao and asked, "Why hasn't my father rested so late?" ”

"News just came." Cao Cao took out a letter and handed it to Cao Shuo.

After receiving the letter, Cao Shuo unfolded it and read it.

He asked Cao Cao, "Father thinks this matter has something to do with our Cao family?" ”

"Ma Teng and Han Sui fought, and Xiliang was unstable." Cao Cao said: "Whenever there is some turmoil in the north, it has an inseparable relationship with our Cao family. ”

"Father is worried that the Xiliang war will implicate the Cao family?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"Exactly." Cao Cao asked, "What do you think?" ”

"I don't think it has anything to do with us." Cao Shuo said: "Ma Teng and Han Sui both helped the Cao family at the beginning, and when they got together, it was not good for us to help anyone, at most we could only send someone to mediate." ”

"Who do you think is appropriate?" Cao Cao asked.

"It seems that Sanhan and Liaodong, I can only let it go." Cao Shuo said: "Tomorrow I will give an order to go down, let the soldiers who have been waiting return to Shouchun first, and I will go to Xiliang for a trip." ”

"You're going?" Cao Cao asked in surprise.

"Besides me, can my father think of a more suitable person?" Cao Shuo said: "I once fought side by side with Ma Teng and Han Sui, and I am familiar with both of them. I'll mediate, maybe the two of you will really give some face. ”

"Xiliang, you've never been there." Cao Cao said: "It's even more desolate than Youzhou......

"After years of war, how many places in the whole world are not desolate?" Cao Shuo said: "It is much better to mediate than to send troops to help one side attack the other. ”

Cao Cao thought for a moment and said to Cao Shuo: "What you said is also right, looking at the Cao family, there is really no one else who is more suitable to go to Xiliang than you." ”

"This matter is very urgent, I'm afraid I won't have time to go to Xu Du." Cao Shuo said: "I ...... the matter of sealing the official"

"The official still has to do it." Cao Cao said: "I will send someone to send a letter to Your Majesty, and ask him to issue an edict to canonize your official position." ”

"Actually, what I want to say is that I am still young, and there is really no need to carry so much false fame." Cao Shuo said: "The tree is a big move, I am already very hateful, and if I worship the general, I don't know how many people will be red." ”

"Do you care if someone holds a grudge or not?" Cao Cao asked.

"I don't care." Cao Shuo replied.

"If you don't care, do it." Cao Cao said: "Of course I have my reasons to make you a general!" Now that you are the son of the Cao family, sooner or later the Cao family will be handed over to you. Until then, I'm going to show you what it means to be in a position of authority! ”

"I understand what my father means." Cao Shuo asked, "I wonder if my father can promise me one thing." ”

"What's the matter, you say." Cao Cao said: "As long as it is not something that makes me embarrassed, I will agree." ”

"Don't canonize your official position first." Cao Shuo said: "When I come back from Xiliang and arrive in Shouchun, it will not be too late for my father to send someone to send the edict over." ”

Twisting his beard, Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "Just follow you!" ”

"Thank you, father." Cao Shuo bowed and asked Cao Cao, "Dare to ask my father, is there anything else you have to say?" ”

"Nothing else." Cao Cao said: "You will set off early tomorrow morning, Xiliang is a long way, and I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”

"A month or two is enough." Cao Shuo said: "I only rode over with a dragon pattern, and my entourage was all cavalry, so I couldn't delay for too long!" ”

"Go early and come back early, you're in Xiliang, I always feel unsafe." Cao Cao said: "If Ma Teng and Han Sui don't listen to the dissuasion, you don't have to pay attention to them, just let them fight each other." When I have my hands free, I will lead the troops to reason with them. ”

"I see what my father means." Cao Shuo responded: "If I can't persuade him, of course I won't persuade hard, anyway, it's not our people from the Central Plains who are beating and dying." ”

"That's what it means." Cao Cao nodded and said to Cao Shuo: "It's not early, you go and rest first, you have to hurry tomorrow." ”
