After Sima Hui returned to Shouchun, more than half a month passed, and Guo Jia was late.

In the study, Cao Shuo and Guo Jia had a chessboard in front of them.

While the two were playing chess, Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia, "Why did it take so long for Father to let you come?" ”

"Yecheng still has some things that I need to deal with." Guo Jia replied: "It's already fast to be able to come over now." ”

"I've been waiting here for a long time." Cao Shuo said: "General Guan Cheng took three warships and waited for more days in Haixi. ”

"I've heard of Guancheng." Guo Jia said: "He was a pirate who was famous back then, and Gongzi even accepted him." ”

"Pirates really understand the sea." Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "They are at sea all the year round, listen to the voice of the sea every day, and love their demands to the sea, there is no one in this world who understands the sea better than them, and it is easier to be tolerated by the sea." ”

"So Childe recruited them all." Guo Jia said: "The dirty pirates have since become a navy with bright armor. ”

"I talked to Guan Cheng and Guo Zu." Cao Shuo said: "They were pirates at the beginning, just because they couldn't fill their stomachs, but later they got bigger and bigger, and they really wanted to be recruited by the imperial court." It's a pity that the imperial court can't see them at all, so they can only harm the coast and do some things that hurt nature and reason. ”

"The pirates are used to being wild, I don't know how Gongzi restrains them?" Guo Jia asked.

"I'm not restrained, I've been managing the navy." Cao Shuo said: "With him, I really don't have to worry a lot." ”

"Childe has a navy, I don't know what about the navy?" Guo Jia said: "The sea is also water, and the rivers are also water, can't some people from the navy be transferred to the navy?" ”

"Transferred." Cao Shuo said: "But what I lack is generals, not just veterans." In terms of individual soldier ability, the navy is not weak, but in terms of coordination, the navy cannot even catch up with the navy. ”

"Could it be that Gongzi plans to give up the water army?" Guo Jia asked.

"How is that possible?" Cao Shuo said: "The navy is going to expand, but not now. ”

"When is Childe going to be?" Guo Jia said: "The north is about to end the war, and Cao Gong is likely to turn south. ”

"Turning south?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "I said something that shouldn't be said, before I came back from Yizhou outside, it would be absolutely impossible for my father to go south." ”

"Why?" Guo Jia asked, "Could it be that Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are so difficult to deal with?" ”

"It's not that they're hard to deal with." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that the road to Wuhuan is difficult, and if my father wants to break them, I'm afraid it will take a short time." What's more, although Gao Gan and others swore an oath to serve, they always had the possibility of rebellion. ”

"Childe expects the senior cadres to rebel?" Guo Jia asked.

"Of course." Cao Shuo said: "Gao Gan is the nephew of my father-in-law, is the Yuan family close to him or is the Cao family close to him?" When the Yuan family was in trouble, he could not send a single soldier, not to mention that the Cao family had no family relationship with him. Once my father sent troops to Wuhuan, he would definitely lead the rebellion in Bingzhou. ”

"What does Childe think Cao Gong should do?" Guo Jia asked.

"I am afraid that I am not the only one who has rebelled." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, don't say that you haven't seen it. ”

"We can see it." Guo Jia said: "It's just that I'm not as sure as Childe." ”

"My father even suspects me, how can he trust Gao Gan?" Cao Shuo said: "Feng Xiao rest assured, my father has already had a countermeasure, but the senior cadres don't know." ”

Guo Jia nodded, and then he said to Cao Shuo: "Duke Cao has ordered the second prince to lead the troops to fight Hanzhong and Yizhou. ”

"I've guessed it." Cao Shuo said: "Zihuan may defeat Hanzhong, but he will never be able to take Yizhou." Yizhou is afraid that it will become Liu Xuande's territory in the future. ”

"Yizhou now belongs to Liu Zhang, and Liu Xuande is still in Jingzhou." Guo Jia shook his head with a smile and said, "How could he have the opportunity to take Yizhou into his hands?" ”

"Do you believe in filial piety?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Of course not." Guo Jia said: "Jingzhou and Yizhou are far apart, how could Liu Xuande get there? ”

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo said: "Since Feng Xiao doesn't believe in it, let's wait and see." ”

Cao Shuo had thought about killing Liu Bei before, but many things thwarted his plan.

Liu Bei fled to Jingzhou, he still had a chance, but now Cao Cao is jealous of him.

Leaving Shouchun for two years......

In fact, Cao Shuo was also a little confused, if Cao Cao still treated him as before, as long as he and Cao Cao cooperated with each other, it wouldn't be long before the world could be unified.

He naturally inherited Cao Cao's position, and of course he didn't have to do anything before that.

But Cao Cao supported Cao Pi.

What kind of person Cao Pi is, Cao Shuo knows very well.

With Cao Pi's personality, once he has power in his hands, how can he tolerate his eldest brother?

There will be a rivalry between him and Cao Pi.

Of course, their contention is likely to be after Cao Cao's death.

Leaving a son, Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao will rest for two days in Shouchun, and I will let Fu Zhu take us to Haixi." ”

"Why take two days off?" Guo Jia said: "Since Gongzi has made a decision, it is better to go to Haixi as soon as possible, and leave earlier to return a day earlier." ”

Looking up at Guo Jia, Cao Shuo asked, "Feng Xiao is in such a hurry to come back?" ”

"Gong Cao needs manpower there, I can't stay with Gongzi all the time?" Guo Jia said: "Although I am not very important, I can also give some ideas for Cao Gong. ”

"That's right." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "When we come back from Yizhou, I will send someone to send you back to Yecheng to see your father." ”

"If Cao Gong was still in Wuhuan at that time, would I also go to Yecheng?" Guo Jia asked.

"If my father was still in Wuhuan at that time, you would stay with me until he returned to Yecheng." Cao Shuo said: "Wuhuan I will definitely not let you go." ”

"Can Childe give me a reason?" Guo Jia asked very suspiciously: "Why don't you let me go to Wuhuan?" ”

"What do you think if I say that you will die if you go to Wuhuan?" Cao Shuo asked.

Guo Jia was stunned: "I'm so dignified, why would I die?" ”

Cao Shuo, of course, would not say that he knew anything about history.

He smiled slightly and said to Guo Jia: "Actually, I just feel uneasy, only if you don't go to Wuhuan, I will feel a little more peaceful." When my father comes back from Wuhuan, I will send you to Yecheng, and you will go what happens to you in the future. ”

didn't get a convincing reason, Guo Jia looked at Cao Shuo suspiciously, but didn't ask anything.

Pointing to the chessboard, Cao Shuo said: "It's your turn, looking at the situation on the chessboard, I probably won most of this game." ”
