Cao Shuo didn't look at what Liu Bei said, and Mrs. Wu asked a little suspiciously: "Liu Xuande is really like what Zirong said?" ”

"My mother-in-law has not touched him, and I don't know his character." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande is a person who can't be approached, whoever gets close to him will be pitted by him to the point of incompleteness." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Wu asked, "Why did Zirong say that?" I heard that Liu Xuande has always been a good character. ”

"Does my mother-in-law remember Tao Qian back then?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.

"Xuzhou Thorn Shi Tao Gong, once fought against Dong Zhuo with his husband." Mrs. Wu said: "When the sour jujube alliance was held, he also went, of course I remember." ”

"When my father crusaded against Xuzhou, Tao Qian asked Kong Rong for help, and Kong Rong recommended Liu Xuande to him." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande borrowed 3,000 troops from Gongsun Zhan, and as for whether he has paid it back or not, let's not say anything about it. only said that he relieved the siege of Xuzhou and should have left, but he relied on Tao Qian's debt to others to Tun Xiaopei. After a crusade by the Cao family, Tao Qian was frightened and died soon after. Liu Xuande not only did not have the slightest feeling of gratitude, but occupied Xuzhou. What does his mother-in-law think of his character? ”

"How did I hear that it was Tao Qiansan who asked Xuzhou, and Liu Xuande insisted on not being ......" Mrs. Wu said with some suspicion: "What Zirong said is different from what I heard." ”

"Does Tao Qian have a son?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.

"Absolutely." Mrs. Wu said: "It's just that Tao Qian's son has no virtue, so he gave Xuzhou to Liu Xuande." ”

Cao Shuo smiled.

Confused by his laughter, Mrs. Wu asked, "Why is Zirong laughing?" ”

"Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Koto." Cao Shuo said: "Did Bo Fu give Jiangdong to a foreign surname? ”

Her brows furrowed slightly, and Mrs. Wu asked in an unhappy tone, "Why did Zirong say that it was on Jiangdong's head?" ”

"I'm actually quite simple." Cao Shuo said: "I have laid some ground, and when I am old, no matter whether my son is virtuous or not, I will hand over the family business to them." There is no other reason but because they are my sons. In fact, everyone is like this, who is willing to give up their business to others? ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, Mrs. Wu suddenly said: "What do you mean ......?"

"Tao Qian didn't let Xuzhou at all." Cao Shuo said: "It was Liu Xuande who took advantage of his fatigue to take Xuzhou away from him. Don't talk about Tao Qian, let's just say that my father took Liu Xuande in later, what did he get in the end? He deceived the soldiers and horses from his father and participated in the edict of clothes and belts in an attempt to kill his father. Then he went to Hebei, where the Yuan family was at war with the Cao family, but he deceived the people from the Yuan family and went to Jingzhou from Runan. has never stopped in Jingzhou, like this person, Jiangdong Sun family dares to be with him? ”

"At first, I just felt that Liu Xuande's proposal to Shang Xiang was very disgusting." Mrs. Wu said: "Zirong said this, his character is indeed ......"

"Don't hide it from my mother-in-law, I wanted to kill him when he was in Xudu." Cao Shuo said: "It's a pity that this person has always done things well, and I couldn't find a suitable reason to kill him." Now that he is scourging Jingzhou, thinking of the old hatred, of course the Cao family cannot turn a deaf ear. My father led an army of 830,000 to fight against Liu Xuande, for the sake of the righteousness of the world. I really can't understand why some people in Jiangdong want to plant disasters on their own heads. ”

Mrs. Wu's face became a little bad, and she asked Sun Quan, who was standing on the side, "Zhuge Kongming came to Jiangdong, how did you deal with it?" ”

"Back to my mother, I didn't promise to ally with them." Sun Quan replied: "Otherwise, it is impossible to invite Brother Zirong to cross the river." ”

"Actually, it doesn't matter if you say yes or not." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Mrs. Wu: "Even if Zhongmou agrees, it is for Jiangdong's sake. As long as the Sun family does not send troops to the north bank and does not provoke our Cao family, when the Cao family breaks through Jiangxia, they will naturally withdraw their troops and leave. ”

"Did you hear what Zirong said?" Mrs. Wu asked Sun Quan.

"I hear you." Sun Quan bowed in response.

"No matter if someone jumps up and down in front of you, instigating you to be an enemy of the Cao family, you have to see the intimacy clearly, but don't be bewitched by traitors." Mrs. Wu said: "Zirong lived with me when he was in Jiangdong. ”

"Mother, I have already arranged a place for Brother Zirong." Sun Quan said.

"Zirong lives outside, I'm not very relieved." Mrs. Wu said: "Live with me, with me by your side, I will see who dares to do anything to my son-in-law." ”

"I have already ordered Gan Xingba to lead two hundred troops, and he is responsible for Zirong's thoroughness." Sun Quan said: "With Gan Xingba here, who else would dare to do anything to Zirong?" ”

"Don't say two hundred, even if you send a thousand troops to protect Zirong, I still don't feel at ease." Mrs. Wu said: "You don't need to say more, just let Zirong live here." ”

Mrs. Wu wholeheartedly protected Cao Shuo, and Cao Shuo was also thinking in her heart: This mother-in-law is really good, and if she breaks through Jiangdong in the future, she must be protected.

When he came to Jiangdong, in addition to marrying Sun Shangxiang, Cao Shuo also had a plan, which was to find an excuse for the Cao family to crusade against Jiangdong.

Of course, living in Mrs. Wu's place will be very thorough, but in that case, it will not be easy to find an excuse to crusade.

Cao Shuo said to Mrs. Wu: "Mother-in-law, Miss and I haven't gotten married yet, and we live with my mother-in-law at this time, which is obviously a bit unruly. ”

"When you go to Jiangdong, of course I have to protect you." Mrs. Wu said: "Although Jiangdong is our Sun family, there are always some people who will secretly do something incomprehensible. Zirong lives outside, in case there are three long and two short, wouldn't it cause trouble for Jiangdong? ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry." Cao Shuo said: "Zhongmou sent Gan Xingba, I also have Zhao Zilong, Chen Shuzhi and others around me, and it is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have a chance if they want to treat me." ”

Cao Shuo refused to stay here, Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Quan, glared at him and said, "If Zirong has an accident, I won't rely on you." ”

"Mother rest assured." Sun Quan said: "Brother Zirong has been in Jiangdong these days, I must personally inquire about his daily life every day, and no one can do anything to him. ”

With Sun Quan's promise, Mrs. Wu said to Cao Shuo: "Zirong, I won't say anything else, in case anyone makes trouble for you, just come and tell me, I will make them look good." ”

"With my mother-in-law escorting, am I still walking sideways in Jiangdong?" Cao Shuo grinned and made a big gift to Mrs. Wu.

He looked calm, but Mrs. Wu couldn't let go of her heart.

Sighing softly, she said to Cao Shuo and Sun Quan, "You two sit down first." ”

Cao Shuo and Sun Quan sat down, and Mrs. Wu instructed the maid again: "Invite the young lady and let her serve tea for Zirong." ”
