Guo Jia twisted his beard and did not continue.

Cao Shuo asked a little anxiously, "What does Guo Gong want me to do?" Please also be clear. ”

"Childe may have to leave Guandu." Guo Jia said: "There is nothing to do in the future war, and of course there will be no more credit." ”

"What should I do, the generals have already earned the credit, it doesn't matter if I take credit or not." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "It's just that I don't know how Guo Gong plans to let me leave Guandu." ”

"If the son wants to leave, he has to resign to Cao Gong." Guo Jia said: "Later, Gongzi will find a reason to go to see Cao Gong, and after you leave, I will go to intercede with Cao Gong for more than 100,000 captives." It is not easy to ask for this benefit, and it is not easy for the son not to be punished, so don't worry about these merits in Guandu. ”

"I've already said that credit doesn't matter to me." More than 100,000 captives were saved, Cao Shuo grinned and said: "Compared with the false name, what is more real is how much real benefit I have gained." With 100,000 strong, what else do I need to do with those credits? ”

"It's still Childe who understands it." Guo Jia said: "I will retire first, and later I will invite Gongzi to meet Cao Gong." ”

After Guo Jia left, Cao Shuo got up and came to the outside of the tent.

He instructed Wei Tu, who was waiting outside: "Tell the soldiers, get ready to go, maybe we will have to leave Guandu and return to Shouchun tonight." ”

"In such a hurry?" Wei Tu asked: "The Yuan army has been defeated, it is the time when the Cao family marched into Hebei in a big way, and the prince left at this time, could it be that those credits are gone?" ”

"I won't give you less than what you deserve." Cao Shuo said: "I have Huainan, Xuzhou and other places, and I have tens of thousands of elite soldiers, do I still need those false names?" I want real affordability. ”

"What Childe said is, I'll go and tell the soldiers." Wei Tu retreated.

Cao Shuo instructed Cai Ji again: "Accompany me to see my father." ”

Following behind Cao Shuo, Cai Ji asked, "Gongzi just came back from Cao Gong, why do you want to go again?" ”

"At first, I went to see my father to intercede for more than 100,000 Yuan army prisoners." Cao Shuo said: "Since we can't ask for it, we won't need it in the war in Hebei." I have no choice but to take you back to Huainan first. ”

"Those captives, Childe doesn't plan to ask for them?" Cai Ji said: "More than 100,000 people, if they are all buried"

"They have surrendered." Cao Shuo said: "And they are not aliens, they are all people of our Han Dynasty, and it doesn't make a difference who they follow to fight." If it's an alien captive, let alone 100,000, even if it's a million, I'll bury them! But these people are not."

"Do your best to know the destiny of heaven." Although he and Guo Jia had already discussed how to deal with it, Cao Shuo still did not tell Cai Ji his intentions.

It's useless to tell him, not to mention Cai Ji's low official position, even if he really has a lot of military exploits, the things that Cao Cao decided are not something that anyone can change.

Cao Shuo refused to say his plan, and Cai Ji could only sigh for a while.

He said to Cao Shuo: "Childe doesn't have to take it too seriously, maybe the Cao Guild will change his mind." ”

When he came to Cao Cao's tent, Cao Shuo said to Xu Chu, who greeted him: "Brother Zhongkang, please tell your father, just say that I will resign." ”

"Resignation?" Xu Chu was stunned: "The Yuan army was defeated, it is the time to expand the results, why does the son want to leave?" ”

"Yuan's army has been defeated, and in a short period of time, it has gathered an army that is not willing to resist our army." Cao Shuo said: "Father can lead the army all the way north, and taking Hebei is just around the corner, and it is useless for me to stay here." Please also ask Brother Zhongkang to pass through. ”

Cao Shuo insisted again and again, and Xu Chu had to come outside the curtain: "Qi Cao Gong, the son came to resign." ”

Finally broke through Yuan's army, Cao Cao was not sleepy at all at this time.

Hearing that Cao Shuo came to resign, he asked Xu Chu, "What did he do to resign?" ”

Cao Shuo took a step forward and said: "Father, the Jiangdong Army in the Huainan area is still very active, I got the news that Liu Bei went to Jingzhou, and he must have instigated Liu Biao in Jingzhou to be enemies with the Cao family." Compared to the Yuan family, Liu Bei is now more threatening, so I begged my father to allow him to return to Huainan first. ”

"I should have listened to you and killed Liu Xuande." Cao Cao said: "I didn't expect this person to bring so much trouble to our Cao family now. ”

"The past is gone." Cao Shuo said: "Father doesn't have to take it to heart, as long as I am here, Liu Xuande can't do anything to our Cao family." ”

"It's better for you to go back." Cao Cao said: "With you, I will lead the army into Hebei, and I have no worries." ”

"Since my father allows me, I'll go and let the soldiers prepare now." Cao Shuo said goodbye.

"Now? In such a hurry? Cao Cao was stunned.

"Some things are better done sooner rather than later." Cao Shuo said: "Although I have left a few fierce generals in Huainan, if Liu Xuande goes, he may not be able to cope with it." If I could have gone back earlier, he might not have dared to say anything about Huainan and other places. ”

"How do I feel like you're hiding something from me?" Staring at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao said suspiciously.

"What can I hide from my father?" Cao Shuo said: "Knowing my son is my father, I am afraid that there is no one else in this world who understands me better than my father." ”

"Go ahead!" There was nothing abnormal on Cao Shuo's face, and Cao Cao waved his hand and said.

Retired again, Cao Shuo withdrew from Cao Cao's handsome account.

Before he came out of the handsome tent, he saw Guo Jia coming head-on.

Seeing Cao Shuo, Guo Jia nodded to him, and Cao Shuo nodded knowingly.

Outside the tent, Guo Jia asked, "Did Gong Cao sleep?" ”

Hearing that it was Guo Jia's voice, Cao Cao in the tent said: "It turned out to be Fengxiao, come in and speak." ”

Guo Jia thanked him, lifted the curtain and walked in.

After entering the tent, Guo Jia saluted Cao Cao and asked, "It's getting late, why hasn't Cao Gong slept yet?" ”

"Yuan Benchu fled, although I sent people to chase him, I may not be able to capture him." Cao Cao said: "Now that Yuan's army has been newly defeated, there are many things that have to be considered. ”

He picked up a pile of letters from the table and said to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao, look at it, when I confronted Yuan Benchu, there were so many people under my command who secretly exchanged letters with him. ”

After taking the letters and reading a few letters, Guo Jia asked, "Gong Cao, do you want to arrest all these people and cut them down?" ”

"Forget it!" Cao Cao sighed and said, "When the Yuan army had the advantage, even I wasn't sure about the battle situation, let alone them. Later I'll have the letters burned, as if none of this had ever happened. ”

"Cao Gong is magnanimous." Guo Jia said: "But I think these people must be killed!" ”

"Why?" Cao Cao was stunned and asked, "If all these people are killed, how many people will be implicated?" Can we afford it? ”
