The last of the sun disappeared outside the window.

The maid lit an oil lamp in the side room.

At the square table, Cao Shuo and Cao Jun sat facing each other.

Not used to sitting in a chair, Cao Jun was uncomfortable, and always felt that his butt didn't seem to be there.

"How?" Cao Shuo smiled and asked, "Can't get used to sitting on chairs?" ”

"I have never seen or heard of the furnishings in my brother's house." Cao Jun said: "This thing called a chair is quite comfortable to sit on, but I always feel unstable. ”

"It's the first time you've sat in a chair, because it's high, it's not like sitting on the ground." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Don't worry, unless you are drunk and can't sit steadily, you won't fall." ”

"Of course, the things that my brother uses are excellent." Cao Jun picked up his wine glass and said to Cao Shuo: "I respect my brother. ”

After drinking a drink with Cao Jun, Cao Shuo said: "You and I are also brothers, and you don't need to be so polite when there are no outsiders." ”

After taking a bite of the boiled meat, Cao Shuo asked Cao Jun, "Do you know why I am willing to use you?" ”

"My brother has taken care of me, and I will remember it!" Cao Jun got up and clenched his fists and said.

"It's useless to talk about that." Cao Shuo pressed his hand twice and said to Cao Jun: "I only use you for one reason." ”

"Please make it clear, brother." Cao Jun asked.

"Because you're shameless." Cao Shuo said with a smile.

Cao Jun was stunned and didn't dare to speak.

"Letting you strip naked and run in the backyard, how dare you do it." Cao Shuo said: "Although you see through that I can't let you do that, you dare to take off your clothes, which has proved your courage." ”

"Don't worry!" Seeing that Cao Jun's face was not natural, Cao Shuo said again: "Shamelessness is not a bad thing, but it is an advantage. The world is already in chaos, and with an identity like you and me, you can't live long if you want to be embarrassed. On the contrary, it is shameless to live longer. ”

"That's what my brother said!" When Cao Shuo said this, Cao Jun was relieved a lot.

"I know what you're here for." Cao Shuo asked, "Do you want some opportunities to make contributions?" ”

"Whatever I have planned, I can't escape my brother's eyes." Cao Jun responded.

"There are many opportunities to make a contribution, it depends on whether you can grasp it." Cao Shuo said: "Tomorrow your father-in-law is going to pay tribute to the eldest brother, I will handle this matter, and you can help on the side." Whatever you are asked to do, you will do it, and others will be able to see it. ”

"My brother cares, and my brother remembers it." Cao Jun replied.

"What kind of favor is this?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "The real credit is still to come, there is no one around me who can go, I originally planned to go by myself." It just so happens that you came to vote for me, so it's only fitting for you to go. ”

Cao Shuo said that he had a great credit, and Cao Jun's eyes lit up: "Dare to ask my brother, what is the credit?" ”

"The soldiers are bloodless to attack Lu Bu." Cao Shuo asked, "Is this a big credit?" ”

"Brother means, uncle wants to beat Lu Bu?" Cao Jun asked.

"Lu Bu is entrenched in Xuzhou, and if the Cao family wants to become bigger, they must attack him." Cao Shuo sighed and said, "Actually, I admire General Lu's personality. There are countless heroes in the world, but he is the only one who has a deep affection for his wife. For the sake of his wife, he can kill Ding Yuan and punish Dong Zhuo, such a bloody man, I really can't bear to meet him in battle. What's more, I still have a marriage contract with General Lu's daughter......"

"Is it possible that my brother wants me to persuade Lu Bu?" Cao Jun asked.

"Of course not!" Cao Shuo said: "If you can convince him, do you still need to go?" I'll just go. ”

"What do you mean by brother......" Cao Jun asked blankly.

"Yang Feng and Han Xianam, do you know them?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Yes." Cao Jun said: "The two of them still had the merit of escorting back then, Yuan Shu crusaded against Xuzhou, and the two of them defected, so that Yuan Shu's army was defeated. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Jun lost no time in patting Cao Shuo's ass: "I heard that it was the elder brother who designed the two to rebel at the beginning. ”

"These two people are too alive to stay." Cao Shuo said: "But before killing them, they still have some use. Whether you can make good use of it or not depends on you. ”

"Whatever my brother wants me to do, just tell me!" Cao Jun said: "Even if the liver and brain are smeared, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”

"I don't need you to be smeared with your liver and brain." Cao Shuo smiled: "You only need to do two things. ”

Cao Jun clenched his fists and bowed his head, waiting for Cao Shuo's orders.

"I'm going to Hebei recently, and before the Yuan family is stabilized, our Cao family won't attack Lu Bu." Cao Shuo said: "If you don't use troops against Lu Bu, you have to think of ways to stabilize him." ”

"If you are asked to go to Xuzhou, how will you stabilize Lu Bu?" Cao Shuo asked.

"My brother has a marriage contract with Miss Lu Jia, and of course I went to Xuzhou under the pretext of a marriage contract." Cao Jun said: "Seeing that he is about to become a family, this reason is the easiest for Lu Bu to relax his vigilance. ”

"What would you say?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I went to Xuzhou to confuse the public and cover up my brother's true purpose of marrying Miss Yuan." Cao Jun said: "I will tell Lu Bu how my brother misses Miss Yuan, just because Miss Yuan did not enter the door, his wife has not yet entered the court, and his wife cannot enter the room, so I can't wait to go to Hebei to marry Miss Yuan in person." When the elder brother returns to Xudu, it won't be long before he goes to Xuzhou in person to marry Miss Lu. ”

"You know Lu Bu well." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "He likes face, if you say this, he will definitely treat you as a guest." ”

"Brother, what else do I have to do after I go to Xuzhou?" Cao Jun asked.

"Find a reason to go to Xiaopei to meet Yang Feng and Han Xian." Cao Shuo said: "The two of them have more soldiers and horses than Lu Bu, and Lu Bu promised them earlier to attack Huainan and hand Huainan over to them to take care of. Now that Huainan is still in the hands of Yuan Shu, how can the two of them be stable? They should have long had the intention of taking Xuzhou. ”

"What do you mean by ......," Cao Jun asked.

"Give them a little hint." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Let them think that as long as they attack Lu Bu, the Cao family will definitely respond to it." ”

"Did my brother mention this to my uncle?" Cao Jun asked.

"You went to Xuzhou just to stabilize Lu Bu and find a reason for the Cao family to send troops." Cao Shuo said: "When you do these things, Miss Yuan and I are already married, and we don't have to worry about the Yuan family in Hebei anymore." Our Cao family can also enter Xuzhou wholeheartedly. ”

"My brother sat at home and arranged everything for a few months." Cao Jun said: "My reverence for my brother is a little more. ”

"What's that little ability?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "There are many worthy of your respect, follow me in the future, learn more, listen and watch more, because you are a successor to your uncle, it may not be possible to be crowned king in the future." But to be a prince with real power, there is still a lot of certainty. ”

"Thank you, brother!" Cao Jun thanked him first, and then picked up his wine glass and said to Cao Shuo: "I respect my brother!" ”
