Cao Zhang carried the halberd and looked at the eight guards who fell to the ground with great disappointment.

He said to Cao Shuo: "Eldest brother lied to me again, these eight people are far worse than those arranged by General Lu. ”

Guo Jia said to the eight guards who stood up with a very bad face: "Shame on you, don't you stand aside?" ”

The eight guards didn't dare to say anything, and stood behind Guo Jia one after another.

"Fengxiao, how is his martial arts?" Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia.

Guo Jia replied: "What Gongzi said is indeed true, the third son's martial arts are now very sophisticated, and I know how to tell Cao Gong when I return to Yecheng." ”

"There's something I want to tell you." Cao Shuo said to Guo Jia: "Although my third brother's martial arts are not bad, he has no experience in leading soldiers to fight. I'm going to keep him by my side, and the next time I go on the expedition, let him experience more battles. When I return to my father in the future, I can also do more things for the Cao family. ”

"Gongzi should tell Cao Gong about this matter in person." Guo Jia replied: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to speak for my son." ”

"There's nothing wrong with that." Cao Shuo said: "My father has been busy preparing for the attack on Liaodong recently, and he has no time to deal with such a thing. Cao Zhang came to Shouchun, although his martial arts have improved, he is still a little short of what I want. ”

Cao Shuo said to Cao Zhang: "Third brother, pack your halberd, and we will fight." ”

"The eldest brother leads the troops to fight, and he doesn't have to fight himself." Cao Zhang grinned and said to Cao Shuo: "I don't dare to compete with my eldest brother, in case I hurt you, my sisters-in-law won't spare me." ”

"He's not that big, but he's crazy about talking." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Since you despise the eldest brother so much, I will accompany you to practice!" ”

He stretched out his hand to Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan handed the halberd to Cao Shuo.

"I, like you, am the halberd method taught by General Lu." Cao Shuo said: "I want to see which of us has more exquisite martial arts." ”

"Eldest brother, be careful." Cao Shuo insisted on competing with Cao Zhang, and Cao Zhang no longer shirked, he put the halberd horizontally, shouted to Cao Shuo, and rushed up.

The brothers caught and killed each other, and Guo Jia and others were terrified.

Sixty or seventy rounds later, Cao Shuo saw an opportunity to kick Cao Zhang's lower abdomen.

He kicked him back several steps in a row, and Cao Zhangyi sat on the ground.

Before he could get up, Cao Shuo's halberd was already pointed at his forehead.

"Eldest brother ......" raised his head and looked at Cao Shuo in surprise, Cao Zhang just greeted him.

"I can't even beat you, how can I rest assured that I will send you to the battlefield." Cao Shuo said: "I don't think you should be busy leaving Shouchun, just study here for two more years, and when your martial arts are improved, I will take you to the battlefield to fight." ”

"I've never seen a battlefield, so how can I know what a fight is." Cao Zhang said with some annoyance: "If the eldest brother is willing to take me with him next time, my martial arts will definitely be able to improve." After all, the ability to fight is used on the battlefield, how can you practice like this all day? ”

"Father sent Fengxiao to see you, probably to take you to Yecheng." Cao Shuo said: "Your second brother is now in charge of Xudu, maybe your father will let you go to Xudu to help him?" ”

"Help whom?" Cao Zhang asked, "Help the second brother?" ”

"If you don't help him, who else can you help?" Cao Shuo asked, "What?" Aren't you happy? ”

"It's okay to stay with my father, but I won't do it when I go to my second brother." Cao Zhang said: "Don't wait until one day I didn't have time to go to the battlefield, and I was killed by the second brother." ”

"Nonsense!" Cao Shuo glared: "How can you say that about your second brother?" ”

"It's not that the eldest brother doesn't know him." Cao Zhang pursed his lips and said with disdain: "The second brother has been two-faced and three-faced since he was a child, and I have never been used to him. Let me be there with him, it is better to kill me directly. ”

"Don't talk nonsense." Cao Shuo's tone softened a little, and said to Guo Jia: "Feng Xiaoke must not say these words to his father, just tell his father that Cao Zhang's martial arts in Shouchun have improved very quickly, but he can't go through the battlefield to temper himself, and he needs to stay here for two more years." ”

Cao Zhang scolded Cao Pi for not thinking about the consequences at all.

He opened his mouth to come, but even Cao Shuo couldn't stop him.

Although Cao Shuo's stop had some inducement meaning, those words must have come from Cao Zhang's heart.

Guo Jia actually didn't want to ask more about the Cao family brothers.

He clenched his fists and said to Cao Shuo: "Don't worry, Childe, after I return to Yecheng, I will definitely make it clear to Cao Gong." ”

"Actually, there's one more thing." Cao Shuo said: "I want to implore my father to allow me to lead an army to attack Hanzhong and Yizhou. ”

"Attack Hanzhong and Yizhou?" Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, he really didn't understand that Hanzhong and Yizhou were far away in the southwest, why did Cao Shuo suddenly remember to fight there.

"I'm afraid that Childe's request is ......," Guo Jia said: "Gong Cao just feels that Childe has been fighting very hard for many years, and wants you to stay in Shouchun to recuperate." ”

"Zhang Lu in Hanzhong is brutal, and the people have long hated him." Cao Shuo said: "Yizhou Liu Zhang is cowardly by nature, and sooner or later he will not be able to stabilize his realm and give it to others. Instead of leaving them to others, it is better for our Cao family to take them first! ”

"Childe is right!" Guo Jia said: "It's just that Cao Gong is afraid ......"

"I'm just worried about my father." Cao Shuo sighed: "My father is very wary of me now, and he supports Zihuan to sit in Xudu, intending to use this to balance me. But he didn't know, as a son, how could I do something that would cause trouble to the Cao family? Even if I have a million soldiers, the army still belongs to my father. ”

"Father is actually wary of the eldest brother?" Cao Zhang listened to it on the side, his eyes widened: "It must be the second brother who is making a hindrance, he has long coveted the eldest brother's status in the family, and now he can convince his father, even the eldest brother doesn't believe it." I really convinced him. ”

"You and Zihuan were born to the same mother." Cao Shuo reprimanded: "Don't say what you shouldn't say, some things are not what you think." ”

"How did my father trust my eldest brother in the first place?" Cao Zhang said: "Why did he become wary of the eldest brother after the second brother went out with the army? Isn't the eldest brother still unable to see clearly? If I were the eldest brother, I would never spare him. ”

"Shut up!" Cao Shuo's eyes widened: "If you talk nonsense again, I will lock you up and not be allowed to go out for a month." ”

was still very afraid of Cao Shuo, and Cao Zhang really closed his mouth.

"You practice martial arts here, don't think about things that shouldn't be thought about." Cao Shuo said: "When Guo Gong came to Shouchun, I still have to take him around. ”

"Congratulations to the eldest brother!" Cao Zhangbi respectfully gave Cao Shuo a big gift and sent him out.

Walking out of Cao Zhang's residence, Guo Jia asked Cao Shuo: "Does the son say this in front of the third son, do you feel that something is wrong?" ”

"Wrong?" Cao Shuo asked, "What do you think is wrong?" ”
