I had never heard that Cao Shuo was arrogant, but Xun Chen didn't expect him to be so arrogant.

"That's what Childe said." In front of Cao Shuo, Xun Chen didn't dare to contradict it, so he had to respond.

"Xun Gong came to vote for me, did he bring anything?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly and asked Xun Chen.

Xun Chen was stunned by his question, and asked in some surprise: "What does Childe mean ......?"

"Xun Gongcai came from Yuan Shang, I always have to bring something, so I dare to reuse it." Cao Shuo maintained a faint smile on his face.

Xun Chen was stunned, and hurriedly said to Cao Shuo: "I came to see the eldest son this time, and I really brought some gifts. ”

"What did Xun Gong bring?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I brought Hebei to Childe." Xun Chen said: "I just don't know if the son is willing to ask for it." ”

"Forget about Hebei." Cao Shuo smiled: "I only want Qingzhou." ”

"Qingzhou is under the rule of Yuan Tan, and now he has joined the Cao family." Xun Chen asked, "Could it be that Gongzi still plans to seize Qingzhou from him?" ”

Leaning over to look at Xun Chen, Cao Shuo asked, "Xun Gong, you tell me the truth, how much does Yuan Tan really serve the Cao family?" ”

Stunned for a moment by Cao Shuo's question again, Xun Chen hesitated and said: "Don't hide it, I don't think Yuan Tan even has any sincerity." ”

Tilting his head to look at Xun Chen, Cao Shuo asked, "Why did Xun Gong say that?" ”

"Hebei has always been controlled by the Yuan family." Xun Chen said: "When the Yuan family is like a rainbow, it has several states, and there are hundreds of thousands of people with armor under its command, who has it in your eyes?" Now that the Yuan family is in decline, Yuan Tan will definitely not be reconciled. He was always thinking about reviving the Yuan family, how could he really serve others? ”

"I have the same opinion as Xun Gong." Cao Shuo said: "Since Yuan Tan is not sincere, we will urge him to rebel." ”

"Childe is going to ......," Xun Chen asked in surprise.

"Xun Gong went to help Yuan Tan." Cao Shuo said: "Help him break Yuan Shang, and after breaking Yuan Shang, help him gather the remnants." Once there are enough soldiers and horses under his command, Yuan Tan's ambition will definitely be revealed. At that time, I will have the opportunity to take Qingzhou, and Xun Gong will also be a great achievement. ”

"I see what Childe means." Xun Chen said: "I'll go to Nanpi. ”

"Duke Xun can help Yuan Tan recruit an army, but don't instigate him to be an enemy of the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Tan doesn't look at his heart or not. What Xun Gong has to do is just to make him stronger, and it is easier to have the idea of becoming an enemy of the Cao family. ”

"I understand!" Xun Chen clenched his fists and bowed down and said, "Please wait for my news." ”

"Someone." Cao Shuo shouted out the door.

Deng Zhan pushed open the door and walked in.

Cao Shuo asked him, "How many good hands are available under him?" ”

"There are two hundred guards around Childe." Deng Zhan replied: "Every one of them is a good hand. I lead with General Zhu. ”

"Select twenty people for Xun Gong." Cao Shuo said: "If you want the most exquisite martial arts, the Xun Guild will be of great use." ”

"I'll do it." Deng Zhan stepped back in response.

Xun Chen was stunned and asked Cao Shuo, "Childe plans to send guards from his side to me?" ”

"Although the guards around me do not have the same title as the dragon pattern rider, every one of them is elite." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Twenty people will be transferred to Xun Gong, and if necessary, Xun Gong can be protected and retreated." ”

Cao Shuo had already taken these into account, and Xun Chen couldn't help but be moved in his heart.

He clenched his fists and bowed down to thank Cao Shuo: "Thank you Gongzi for remembering, I will do my best!" ”

After Xun Chen withdrew, Cao Shuo asked Zhu Ao to invite Tian Feng and Chen Gong.

It didn't take long for the two of them to come to the study.

After meeting Cao Shuo, Tian Feng asked, "Is it important for the prince to call us here?" ”

"Xun Chen is here, do you know?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I heard." Tian Feng asked again: "Did Childe arrange for him to do something?" ”

"What else can he be arranged." Cao Shuo said: "I asked him to help Yuan Tan achieve great things. ”

Tian Feng and Chen Gong glanced at each other, and both of them showed a sudden expression.

"Childe wants to make Yuan Tan strong first, giving him more confidence to turn against the Cao family." Chen Gong said: "When the time comes, Gongzi will be able to enter Qingzhou with a large army, and cut off Yuan Tan's back road in one fell swoop." ”

"Actually, I still hope that Yuan Tan will not rebel against the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "No matter how you say it, he is the eldest brother of my eldest lady after all. Once he rebels against the Cao family, I'm afraid his life will not be saved. ”

"The son is kind-hearted, but the descendants of the Yuan family really can't stay." Chen Gong said: "If you stay, you may bring endless trouble to Gongzi." ”

"What about the young descendants of the Yuan family?" Cao Shuo asked, "Can't you stay?" ”

"I think the Yuan Tan brothers can be killed." Tian Feng sighed softly and said, "As for the other descendants of the Yuan family, can the prince keep them or leave them behind......"

"When Yuan Hao said this, he must have felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart." Cao Shuo said: "After all, you have been in the Yuan family for many years, if you don't have any old feelings, then you are no longer Yuan Hao." ”

"That's what Childe said." Tian Feng replied: "Although I am no longer in the Yuan family, now that the Cao and Yuan families are fighting for Hebei, as a staff member around Gongzi, I should have killed the Yuan family wholeheartedly." can think that the Yuan family will be wiped out, and there is a faint feeling in my heart. ”

"I won't kill all the people in the Yuan family, the only ones who will really die are Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang." Cao Shuo stood up and walked to the window, he looked up at the sky and said, "Actually, I have a good personal relationship with Yuan Shang, and he sent the eldest lady to Xu Du at the beginning." I think that from the beginning to now, after a few years, it has long been a matter of fact. used to be brothers, but now they want to see each other with swords and never die. ”

Tian Feng and Chen Gong were silent.

Both of them knew that after destroying the Yuan family, Cao Shuo felt uncomfortable.

At the beginning, Yuan Shao treated Cao Shuo well, and married his beloved daughter to him.

But now, Cao Shuo, who really single-handedly contributed to the demise of the Yuan family, is actually the most important part of it......

But if a person with a conscience encounters the same thing, his heart will not be happy.

However, Cao Shuo had no choice, the war was never to the death, if he didn't kill the Yuan brothers, the Yuan brothers would kill him.

After all, someone is going to die, and of course they will not choose to die by themselves.

After all, Cao Shuo is not a saint who blindly achieves others......

His eyes fell on the gray sky, and Cao Shuo said: "The sky has been overcast for a long time, and there must be a heavy snowfall recently......"

As he spoke, Zhu Ao walked in.

He bowed to Cao Shuo: "Prince Qiyu, Tu Hun Zuoxian King came to ask for a meeting." ”

Not long after sending people to Taihang, King Zuoxian, who slaughtered the Huns, came to Shouchun, and Cao Shuo was somewhat surprised.

He Tian Feng and Chen Gong looked at each other, and he instructed Zhu Ao: "Please ask him to come to the front hall to talk." ”
