In the autumn of the tenth year of Jian'an, Cao Cao built a Xuanwu pond on the bank of Yecheng and practiced the navy diligently; Due to the surrender of the water people in Jingzhou, Cao Cao snatched many generals who were good at water warfare from Xun Gang to exercise the water army in Xuanwu Pool, including Huang Zu and Wen Ping. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If it is three points today, Liu Bei sits on Yizhou and Jingnan, but Sun Ce only has the land of Yangzhou, so Cao Cao plans to conquer Sun Ce first, and after Jiangdong is pacified, he will attack Liu Bei in the west.

However, he didn't know that the climate of the Yangtze River changed so much, how could he control it with a small basalt pool? Although Huang Zu and the others knew Cao Cao's intentions and wanted to talk about this matter, they didn't want Cao Cao to be arrogant, so they could only do their best to help Cao Cao train the navy.

Cao Cao still held power alone, and led political affairs in Xuchang. On this day, Cheng Yu, the general of Fenwu, entered the hall and declared: "Prime Minister, my subordinates have something important to report!" ”

Cao Cao was reviewing the excerpts of the Qianghu rebellion in the northwest, and was distraught, and when he saw Cheng Yu stepping forward, he said impatiently: "Zhongde, if it's not a big deal, then don't worry!" ”

"Maybe it's a big deal."

"Maybe?" Cao Cao was confused by this word, put down the fold in his hand and asked, "Then you can tell me, how can it be a law?" ”

Cheng Yujin said: "Jingzhou Xungang recruits troops and buys horses, and recruits customers, and his intentions may be wrong; Moreover, this person was originally the emperor's brother-in-law, and there was no guarantee that he would do something very disloyal. ”

"I have worshiped him as the assassin of Jingzhou, the governor of Jingzhou affairs, he recruits troops and horses, and recruits talents, what's so strange?" Cao Cao was a little helpless about Cheng Yu's suspicion, "Zhongde, it's been nearly ten years since Xun Gang surrendered, with his age and experience, if he thinks about it, how can I not see it?" With his twenty-year-old appearance, could it be that he would have waited ten years for a rebellion? Even Liu Bei's old fox can't do it! Thou hast to worry too much! ”

"Maybe it's because his subordinates are too worried, but Xun Gang is a foreign minister, and he was also a member of the party at the beginning, so he surrendered because the lord welcomed His Majesty. Now, although ten years have passed, it is hard to guarantee that he will not have any misdeeds! ”

As soon as Cheng Yu said this, Cao Cao seemed to think it was quite reasonable, so he wanted to invite Guo Jia and Xun You to come to discuss the matter together, but was still stopped by Cheng Yu: "Guo Jia was originally Xun Gang's subordinate, and Xun You is also Xun Gang's clan, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be partiality, the lord should immediately edict him to return to Beijing, if he comes back, there is no need to worry; If he is afraid, something will happen! ”

Cheng Yu's suspicion was heavier than Cao Cao's, but after listening to his words, Cao Cao smiled instead: "Zhongde, when he wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he was seen through by Li Ru, and what he said was very consistent with you. If Cao Cao returns, there is no need to worry; If Cao Cao escapes, it will be an assassination, and now that the times have passed, I never thought that you and I would become Dong Zhuo and Li Ru's generation. ”

Cheng Yu hurriedly knelt on the ground when he heard this: "My subordinates don't dare!" ”

"A certain joke, why should Zhongde take it seriously? However, what you said is indeed reasonable, and these two people do have the heart to protect Xun Gang on weekdays. Pass on my order, Zhao Xungang entered Beijing lightly, there must be no mistakes! ”

"Yes!"

"In addition......" Cao Cao's words suddenly paused, "I heard that Xun Gang canceled the marriage contract with that kid and married his niece?" ”

"This ...... It seems that this is the case.、"

After Cao Cao confirmed the matter, he didn't seem to care much, since he was occupied by others, what else could he say?

"But since he married Yin Mu, it doesn't make much sense for Chong'er to stay there...... Chong'er is almost ten years old, and it's time to prepare for the coming-of-age ceremony, so he asked Xun Gang to bring Chong'er all the way back. ”

Cheng Yu received the decree, and immediately ordered the prime minister to go and write the decree. After half a month of traveling, the order was handed over to Xun Gang. Xun Gang saw that Cao Cao was already suspicious, and thought that it was not time for him to get into trouble at this moment, if he didn't go to the capital, Cao Cao would inevitably be puzzled, so he planned to go to Beijing lightly.

However, Xu Shu was quite worried, thinking that it would be difficult to return to Jingzhou after entering Beijing this time, Xun Gang smiled and said: "If this is the case, let Cao Cao know that this Jingzhou can be guarded except for me Xun Gang, no one else can defend it!" ”

So Xun Gang got up and went to Beijing, Cao Cao really sent someone to govern Jingzhou instead of Xun Gang, this person was none other than Liang Xi, who was promoted by Xun Gang at the beginning. Liang Xi had served as the assassin of Bingzhou not long ago, and his political achievements were remarkable, so Cao Cao transferred him to be the assassin of Jingzhou this time, replacing Xun Gang's position.

However, Xun Gang was not afraid at all, he believed that Xu Shu would be able to help him deal with it.

Xun Gang only took Cao Chong and Gao Shun into Beijing, leaving Chen Zhi, because he couldn't remember whether Xu Shu left before or after Liang Xi, and among the people left, it seemed that only Chen Zhi still knew Liang Xi and could communicate with him.

After entering Beijing, Xun Gang was welcomed by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao shushed the cold and asked for warmth, so that Xun Gang didn't know how to reply.

But unexpectedly, Cao Cao's youngest son, Cao Chong, asked his Lao Tzu directly: "Why did my father recall us?" ”

It's nothing for Xun Gang to ask this, but these words came from the mouth of Cao Cao's favorite son, which couldn't help but make Cao Cao feel extremely embarrassed. He could only smile and say to Cao Chong: "Chong'er, how many years have it been, don't you miss your father?" ”

"I want to think about it, but ...... The father has been busy with official duties, and even if the child is in Jingzhou, there is not much difference from being at home. Also, my teacher and Sister Mu took good care of me, as if it was my second home......"

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly, thinking to himself, how did his son become so eaten? Then he looked at Xun Gang with a slightly angry face, as if to say, "What method did you use to buy my son?" ”

Xun Gang smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic: "That, Prime Minister, can I go to see Your Majesty?" ”

Cao Cao originally just wanted to bring Xun Gang back to Xuchang and put him under house arrest first, as long as he arrived in Xuchang, he didn't care where you went?

After getting Cao Cao's permission, Xun Gang hurriedly left with Gao Shun in a hurry, Cao Chong also wanted to follow, but was pulled back by Cao Cao, and said with a little anger: "How long have you been in Jingzhou and forgotten your father?" Give me back! ”

Xun Gang was relieved that he was out of Cao Cao's control, but he thought that he would be in Xuchang again I don't know how long, and he would be an idle official again...... Now it seems that only his emperor's brother can go.

But it is said that it is the emperor's brother, I don't know how long I haven't seen each other, although there are occasional letters, but Xun Gang can see from the words of the emperor's letters that the emperor's feelings towards him have been diluted.

Xun Gang came to the gate of the palace, but was blocked by the guards, and said helplessly: "When I, Xun Gang, was an official in Xu Du, you didn't know where you were, and you dared to block my way!" ”

"We have the important mission of guarding the capital, and Your Excellency cannot enter without His Majesty's decree!"

Although Xun Gang doesn't hate serious people, but he didn't even have to say hello when he entered the palace back then, how can he be a dignified brother, when he is the closest person to his wife today, he still needs your consent to enter the palace?

But fortunately, there was a eunuch who knew Xun Gang, and he counted a few words from the soldiers guarding the door with a sharp voice, and then led Xun Gang to the palace where Liu Xie was.

"I haven't seen you for years, are you okay?"
