When he left Haixi, Cao Shuo didn't expect things to go so smoothly in Yizhou and Zhuyazhou.

He had only lived on the two islands for three or four months, and the early autumn had just arrived, and he had to sail back to Haixi.

Bidding farewell to Guan Cheng and others, Cao Shuo took Guo Jia on the warship.

After boarding the ship, Guo Jia said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, now that I want to return to Haixi, can I also go back to Yecheng?" ”

"Fengxiao can't go back yet." Cao Shuo said: "Although Yizhou and Zhuyazhou have been settled, the Beihai Navy has not yet been established, and without the Beihai Navy, we will suffer a big loss in the future in the north." ”

"North?" Guo Jia said: "Gongsun Zhan has been destroyed, and only the Gongsun family of Liaodong is left in the north, does Gongzi think that they will be more difficult to deal with than the Yuan family?" ”

"Of course, the Gongsun family of Liaodong is not difficult to deal with." Cao Shuo said: "I heard that Gongsun Du has passed away, and his eldest son Gongsun Kang has taken over Liaodong. Gongsun Kang doesn't have the same martial arts as his father, and we are still more than enough to deal with Gongsun Kang. ”

"In that case, what else does Childe want the Beihai Navy to do?" Guo Jia asked in surprise.

"It's not just the Gongsun family in the north." Cao Shuo said: "You must know that there are Wuhuan people, and there are Benhan, Mahan, Chenhan and other places east of Liaodong. You must know that although there are not many rods there, and they are still uncivilized, they are very arrogant. If we don't destroy them, although they won't be like anything to our Central Plains, they will always be like toads lying on the surface of their feet, which makes people respond very much. ”

"If the boy continues to fight like this, when will the war be a head?" Guo Jia said: "The Central Plains has been fighting for many years, and it is already very weak......

"The weakness of the Central Plains is due to our own self-fighting and excessive consumption." Cao Shuo said: "That's why I will develop the population and encourage farming. Instead of reducing taxes for ten years, farmers farming will be exempted from taxes for ten years, but will be permanently exempted, and all crops will be purchased by the government at market prices. All I have to do is collect the merchants' taxes. In the long run, the treasury is full of grain, what else do I dare not fight? ”

Holding on to the side of the boat and looking at the blue sea, Cao Shuo said: "A person's life is endless, and I want to use my life to lay a great territory for the people of the Central Plains." ”

"Gongzi Wen Taowu is strategic, and having a character like Gongzi is really a blessing for the people of the Central Plains." Guo Jia said: "But Cao Gong is worth employing people, and I should be by Cao Gong's side." ”

"What's the difference between you being with your father and being with me?" Cao Shuo asked Guo Jia.

was stunned by his question, Guo Jia didn't know how to respond.

Cao Shuo is also surnamed Cao, and he is still Cao Cao's eldest son.

Reasoning, Cao Shuo is right.

Staying with Cao Cao is no different from staying with him.

was asked by Cao Shuo and didn't know what to say, so Guo Jia had to stop talking.

"Come with me to the North Sea." Cao Shuo said: "When you come back from Beihai, if I can let you return to my father's side, I will naturally send someone to send you back." ”

Dropping this sentence, Cao Shuo turned around and left.

Holding on to the railing on the side of the boat and looking at the sea in the distance, Guo Jia didn't know what to say.

Although Cao Shuo promised to send him back to Yecheng, he felt that he would probably never return to Cao Cao in his life.

Cao Shuo's character is to grab a handful of mud when he falls to the ground, and he has never been a master who is willing to suffer.

Guo Jia had a very strong feeling in his heart, this time he was a handful of mud that Cao Shuo grabbed after he fell......

"What is my brother thinking?" Cao Shuo had already left, Guo Jia was looking into the distance, and Guo Xin's voice came from behind him.

Glancing back, Guo Jia's gaze fell into the distance again: "Childe doesn't seem to have any intention of letting me go back to Yecheng." ”

"I don't understand why my brother has to go back to Yecheng." Guo Xin asked, "Isn't it good to be by your husband's side?" ”

"It's good, but I'm Cao Gong's staff after all." Guo Jia said: "Childe left me by his side, I'm afraid it's ......"

"Brother is afraid that there will be a gap between his husband and father-in-law?" Guo Xin asked.

"Gong Cao has already been wary of Gongzi, and now Gongzi has kept me by his side...... Guo Jia said: "With Cao Gong's suspicious temperament, he will definitely be more defensive of Gongzi." ”

"Prepare for it." Guo Xin smiled generously and accompanied him to look at the sea in the distance: "If the husband really cares, he won't take us to the South China Sea." ”

"You think Childe doesn't care?" Guo Jia said: "Obviously, it is logical that he can take over the Cao family in the future, but because of the second son's troubles, do you think that the son has no complaints in his heart at all?" ”

"There must be complaints." Guo Xin said: "But if he forgets what to do because of complaints, he is no longer a husband, but someone else." ”

"Whoever encounters this kind of thing is probably not in a good mood." Guo Jia said: "Childe is also a human being, and these are inevitable. ”

"It doesn't matter if you're in a good mood or not." Guo Xin smiled slightly and asked Guo Jia: "Does my brother think that after breaking away from the Cao family, my husband can't be independent now?" ”

"Childe doesn't plan to be an enemy of Cao Gong, right?" Guo Jia asked.

"Not really." Guo Xin said: "The husband is very filial, as long as the father-in-law is still there, it is impossible for him to be an enemy of the Cao family." After all, the husband can't afford the crime of disobedience and unfilial piety. ”

"With all that said, what exactly do you want to say?" Guo Jia asked Guo Xin.

"I'm trying to say it's simple." Guo Xin said: "Since the husband intends to keep his brother, and it is impossible for the brother to leave, it is better to live in peace of mind, and leave it to the years to deal with what happens in the future." ”

Smiling helplessly, Guo Jia shook his head and said, "What other choices do I have now?" ”

He then said to Guo Xin: "Although Gongzi is forcing me to stay, once Cao Gong asks him for someone, I don't know how he will deal with it." ”

"Since the husband wants to keep his brother, he must already have a way to deal with it." Guo Xin said: "Brother doesn't have to worry about this, just follow his husband." ”

"Do you know that since the second son was reused by Cao Gong, the eldest son is like a different person." Guo Jia said: "Now I think more about myself than the Cao family. ”

With a sweet smile, Guo Xin asked Guo Jia: "If my brother encounters the same thing as my husband, I don't know what he will choose?" ”

Speechless when asked by Guo Xin again, Guo Jia frowned slightly and didn't say anything.

Guo Xin continued: "My father-in-law supports Cao Pi, and my husband needs great tolerance to say nothing. I don't know who else in the world can be so forbearing. Does my brother think that my husband is wrong, or is my father-in-law wrong? ”
