A few days after King Tu Gezuo Xian returned to Xiapi, Sima Yi's messenger was sent.

The one who was ordered to see Cao Shuo was Meng Gongwei, who served with Xu Shu at the beginning.

Shi Guangyuan was photographed by Cao Shuo to Izumo, Cui Zhouping was to Zhuyazhou, and the three friends who were assigned by Cao Shuo to Sima Yi's subordinates are now only Meng Gongwei is still in Xuzhou.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Meng Gongwei made a big salute.

"Zhongda must have asked you to come over, there must be a very important matter." Cao Shuo asked, "What is he going to say to me?" ”

"General Sima dared to ask Gongzi, did he plan to let Tu Ge Xiongnu crusade against Hetao?" Meng Gongwei asked.

"Exactly." Cao Shuo said: "I also sent someone to talk to him. ”

"Childe must not act like this." Meng Gongwei said: "General Sima expected that once the Tu Ge Xiongnu entered the Hetao, he would definitely send an envoy to contact them. After all, the Huns are still Huns, and once the Southern Huns and Tu Ge abandon their previous suspicions, I am afraid that they will cause a lot of trouble. ”

"What Zhongda means is that I shouldn't let Tu Ge Xiongnu go to fight the Hetao?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Exactly." Meng Gongwei said: "General Sima just wants to ask Gongzi, is there any determination to destroy Tu Ge together?" ”

"Why did he ask?" Cao Shuo smiled slightly.

"If Gongzi has this determination, as long as after Tu Ge leaves, he will order Youzhou to assassinate Shi Tianfeng, and ask him to prepare troops and horses to prepare for the battle against the Huns, it will not bring too much trouble to Gongzi's rule." Meng Gongwei said: "If Gongzi doesn't have such a plan and does nothing after Tu Gehun leaves the customs, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of unnecessary trouble." ”

"I understand what Zhongda means." Cao Shuo said: "You tell him that my envoy is already on his way to Youzhou. ”

Meng Gongwei was stunned for a moment, and asked Cao Shuo in astonishment: "Could it be that Gongzi really plans to ......?"

"The days of Tu Gehun living in the Central Plains have not been short." Cao Shuo said: "Most of their people are integrated with our Central Plains people, and after a few years, many Tu people still remember that they were Xiongnu, but they also have a sense of belonging to the Central Plains." Especially their descendants, they even think that they are from the Central Plains. But Tu has a heavy army, and I am about to lead a large army to the battle. Although they can be exterminated by the military households in various places, the local people will suffer because of it. I did this for two purposes. First, it is to verify the loyalty of Tu Ge. If they were really loyal to me, I certainly wouldn't do anything to them. If they had rebelled, they wouldn't have to come back in this life. The second is the reason you said just now, and it is also a decision that I will not make until Tu Ge really rebels against me. ”

"I understand what Childe means." Meng Gongwei said: "I'll go back to Xiapi and tell General Sima everything." ”

"When you see Zhongda, you have to tell him." Cao Shuo said: "Relying on Youzhou alone to resist the Huns, I'm afraid it is weak. He had to send troops with Xu Yuanzhi of Qingzhou to assist Tian Feng in order to complete the battle. ”

"Don't worry, Childe." Meng Gongwei said: "I will tell you word for word." ”

When Meng Gongwei asked to see him, Cao Shuo was discussing with Chen Gong about Shouchun's defense.

When Meng Gongwei retreated, Chen Gong said to Cao Shuo: "Childe, this time is really messy. ”

"Chaos is for sure." Cao Shuo said: "If the Cao family does not destroy Jingzhou and Jiangdong, the world will continue to be chaotic." Only by breaking through Jingzhou, destroying Jiangdong, and then marching into Hanzhong and pacifying Yizhou, can the world be reunified. ”

"That's what Childe said." Chen Gong said: "When doing this, there will always be some forces around to make trouble with the Cao family. The Huns were scared of being beaten before, but they didn't expect that they were still doing things now. ”

"It's not a day or two for the Huns to do things." Cao Shuo said: "Although they are afraid of me, after all, the Central Plains has been in chaos for so many years, and they have long been weak. For the Huns, it is the best time to take advantage of the current embarrassment with our Han people. In particular, I recently followed my father south. ”

"After so many years of fighting, although many forces have been pacified, the world has only changed from the original many forces to several big families competing with each other." Chen Gong sighed and said: "If the troubled times continue like this, it is the people who suffer after all. ”

"If the world is gone, the people will not be called the world." Cao Shuo said: "The troubled times have been going on for too long, and it is not a good thing for either the people or us. So I'm not going to let the troubled times last long. ”

"With Gongzi here, the world will not be chaotic for too long." Chen Gong arched his hand and said.

Before Chen Gong's words fell, a guard walked in: "Son Qiyu, Duke Fu is back." ”

Cao Shuo originally sent an order for Fu Zhu and Tu Ge Zuo Xian to come to Shouchun.

Xiapi is very close to Shouchun, and Haixi is relatively far away, so the return of Frustration is to follow Meng Gongwei.

After the guards retreated, Chen Gong also stood up: "Gongzi and Fu Gong should have something very important to say, I will retire first." ”

Cao Shuo didn't keep him, and Chen Gong got up and retreated.

When he was about to go out, he happened to bump into the frustration who walked in.

The two arched their hands to each other and staggered past each other.

When he came to Cao Shuo, he bowed and saluted: "Childe doesn't call me here, I also plan to come to see Childe in a few days." ”

"If you come back in a few days, I'm afraid you won't see me again." Cao Shuo said: "My father is going to go on an expedition to conquer Jingzhou, and I suggest that he take it together with Jiangdong, which may take many days. ”

"Is Childe going to use the South China Sea Navy?" Frustrated asked.

"It's not time to use them yet." Cao Shuo said: "Even if we cross the Yangtze River, it will not be so easy to destroy the Sun family in Jiangdong. Let the South China Sea Navy stand by first. I have called you here this time to discuss with you the establishment of the Beihai Navy. ”

"If we don't build the Beihai Navy, General Guo can't wait." Frustration said: "Earlier, Gongzi ordered him to lead the navy to Donglai, and the navy has already arrived, but Gongzi suddenly stopped fighting Sanhan......"

"The pre-made deployment has changed temporarily, and I can't control it." Cao Shuo said: "When you return to Haixi, you tell General Guo, and I will send someone to Sakhalin for him." This man remained in Sakhalin to take charge of local affairs, while he was in charge of naval preparations. ”

"I wonder who Childe plans to go?" Frustrated asked.

"I was going to let you go." Cao Shuo said: "But when I met someone today, I think he should be able to do it for me." ”

"Childe is talking about ......"

"Meng Gongwei." Cao Shuo said: "He is an old friend of Shi Guangyuan, Cui Zhouping and others, and it is only fitting for him to go to Beihai with Guo Zu." ”

"There should be no natives in Sakhalin." Fu Zhu said: "General Guo's navy, I'm afraid it won't be as smooth as General Guan's establishment. ”
