On the third day after consulting with Pang Tong and others, Cao Shuo embarked on the road back to Yecheng.

In addition to Chen Zhi and Zhao Yun, there was also Ma Chao, who was talented and ready to serve.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao followed behind them with two hundred guards.

Cao Shuo walked in the front, Zhao Yun and Chen Zhi protected him on the left and right respectively, and Ma Chao followed behind him.

Before leaving Cao Shuo's territory, everyone was not too vigilant.

When they stepped out of Cao Shuo's territory and into Yuzhou, everyone in the team would often look around.

Cao Shuo, who was at the forefront, was very calm.

Seeing that Chen Zhi and the others looked like they were waiting for battle, he smiled indifferently: "What are you all doing?" ”

"Now that we have left the territory of Childe, we should be vigilant." Chen Zhi replied: "Before leaving Shouchun, Pang Gong and others explained to us that Gongzi's return to Yecheng this time was a lot of bad luck, and we should pay more attention. ”

"Shi Yuan, they are talking about returning to Yecheng." Cao Shuo said: "It's still far from Yecheng, don't be nervous. ”

"Childe, it's better not to be careless." Chen Zhi replied: "In case someone sets up an ambush in the middle of the road, we will not be in a hurry if we prepare early." ”

"With a few of you here, how can you be in a hurry?" Looking ahead, Cao Shuo said: "The real dangerous place is not here, but in Yecheng. ”

Chen Zhi and the others were very solemn, except for Ma Chaocai, who did not know that the situation of the Cao family was complicated, everyone else knew very well how many big losses Cao Pi had suffered in the hands of Cao Shuo in the past few years.

With Cao Pi's temperament, he can endure to this day, which shows that he must be secretly plotting. 、

"Don't worry, Childe." Zhao Yun said: "With us, even if someone sends thousands of troops, they can't hurt the son in the slightest." ”

"We go to Yecheng this time, and we have two things to do." Cao Shuo said: "First, I want to meet my father and ask Mr. Hua Tuo to diagnose him. Second, my father's headache is getting worse and worse, and it is no longer safe for my mother to stay in Yecheng. I'll have to take her to Shouchun. ”

Glancing back at the carriage that followed the team, Chen Zhi asked Cao Shuo: "Last time, Mr. Hua Tuo diagnosed Cao Gong's illness and failed to cure the patient, this time Gongzi took him back to Yecheng, could it be that there is already a way?" ”

"There has always been a way, but my father can't accept it." Cao Shuo sighed softly: "Father has always been suspicious, but Mr. Hua Tuo's method is to open his head and remove the polyps that cause headaches from it. Do you think that if you tell your father about this method, how likely is it that he will agree? ”

Cao Cao is suspicious, which everyone has known for a long time.

Hua Tuo's method was to open the skull and take out the polyps from it, and they certainly didn't think that Cao Shuo's return to Yecheng would make any difference.

If Cao Shuo tried to persuade Cao Cao to heal according to Hua Tuo's method, maybe Cao Cao would treat him as wanting to kill his father and seize power, and take him to punish him together.

Zhao Yun asked Cao Shuo with doubts: "Gongzi knows that it is impossible to persuade successfully, why did he take Mr. Hua Tuo to see Cao Gong?" ”

"Many things will only be known if they are done or not." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "The current situation is extremely unfavorable for us, if I don't bring Mr. Hua Tuo with me, my father will definitely have other ideas." Don't you forget who is covering the sky with one hand in Yecheng now. ”

Chen Zhi sighed: "Gongzi and Cao Gong sent troops to Xiliang, I didn't expect that the second prince could even take advantage of such an opportunity, in just a few months, he not only came back but also got Cao Gong's favor, and handed over all the affairs of Yecheng to him." ”

"Could it be that you still despise Zihuan in the past?" Cao Shuo asked Chen Zhi.

Chen Zhi hurriedly replied: "The second son and the son are brothers, how dare we despise him?" ”

"You do not despise him, but because he is my brother." Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "But you don't know that Zihuan's skills are really not as sparse as you think." ”

Chen Zhi and the others didn't say anything more.

They looked at each other, and they both sighed softly.

Ma Chao, who was following behind Cao Shuo, saw that their emotions were not too high, and his brows furrowed slightly: "Gongzi returned to Yecheng this time, is it possible that he feels that he is not the opponent of the second son?" ”

"Where did Meng Qi go?" Cao Shuo asked him: "With Meng Qi's understanding of me, who have I been afraid of in this world?" ”

"To tell you the truth, I don't think Childe is really afraid of anyone." Ma Chao said: "But from what Childe said just now......"

"I'm just feeling a little emotional." Cao Shuo sighed: "For the sake of power, the brothers and sisters can actually calculate step by step, so that sooner or later one day they will turn against each other." At the beginning, we were laughing at the Yuan family, but now we don't know who we will be laughed at. ”

Cao Shuo's words made everyone speechless.

They don't know what to say, but they know very well that power can make people's desires extremely inflated.

For example, Cao Pi, he knew that he was not Cao Shuo's opponent, but he could reverse all the previous disadvantages, and even forced Cao Shuo to have no way out.

Cao Pi should know very well that although his brother is very good to his brother, he will never let go easily when dealing with betrayals.

provoked Cao Shuo, and there were only two roads in front of Cao Pi.

One of them is to completely destroy Cao Shuo, and since then erase this person from the Cao family's roster.

The other way is to lose the battle and finally die at the hands of Cao Shuo.

The two brothers, who used to grow up under the same roof, turned against each other for the inheritance of the Cao family when they became adults.

The same thing happened to the Yuan family in Hebei.

At that time, Cao Cao took advantage of the struggle between the Yuan brothers to seize more territory from them, thus increasing the power of the Cao family.

Corresponding to the growth of the Cao family, the Yuan family, which was once prosperous, completely disappeared from the stage of hegemony.

After walking out of Cao Shuo's territory, he really didn't encounter any abnormal situations along the way, as he guessed.

The team of more than 200 people came to Yecheng smoothly.

When the soldiers defending the city saw that it was Cao Shuo who came back, they hurriedly let him go.

After entering the city, Cao Shuo found that Yecheng was still as crowded as before, the streets were full of people, and almost every shop was open for a living, and there was no trace of decadence due to Cao Cao's serious illness.

Cao Shuo was walking along the street when a woman suddenly walked out of the roadside.

The woman's speed was very fast, and before the guards could react, she was already under her feet and sat down in front of Cao Shuo.

Someone fell in front of him, and Cao Shuo hurriedly reined in the horse.

Two guards then stepped forward and set the woman up.

When the guard helped the woman up, Cao Shuo saw her lips move, as if to say something to the guard.

Sure enough, the two guards were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Cao Shuo.
