Cao Shuo came to Cao Cao's residence.

When he entered the door, he saw that Xun You was also in the house.

"Father! Xun Gong! After meeting Cao Cao and Xun You, Cao Shuo asked, "I don't know if my father called me, do you have any orders?" ”

"Gongda and I mentioned it." Cao Cao said: "I'm not 100% sure, so I called you here to ask." ”

"Father, please."

"Gongda proposes to hand over Ang'er's old ministry to you." Cao Cao said: "Leading troops is not nonsense, you have no experience, in case you don't bring them well......"

"The child only wants to share his father's worries, and as for leading the troops, if he can lead them well, I will rule them in the future. If you don't bring it well, your father will take back the military power. Cao Shuo said: "If you don't try, you won't know if I can do it or not." ”

"That's a good idea." Cao Cao asked Xun You, "Does Gongda think what he said is reasonable?" ”

"Childe is humble." Xun You said: "If you can't bring the soldiers well, how can there be a lot of people and bring the bodies of the eldest son and the Diansu guard to Wuyin?" ”

"A few soldiers are not the same as hundreds." Cao Cao said: "Gongda doesn't need to praise him, lest he has no one in his eyes and his eyes are above the top!" ”

"Childe probably not." Xun You Cao Cao asked: "Duke Cao, so you promised to hand over the eldest son's old ministry to the second son?" ”

"Gongda will accompany him to take over." Cao Cao said: "Zhang Xiu besieged the city, there have been a lot of things recently, so I won't go!" ”

"Thank you, Gong Cao!" Xun You stood up and thanked him.

"Thank you, father, for making it happen!" Cao Shuo also bowed down and hugged his fists and made a big salute.

Leaving Cao Cao's residence, Cao Shuo said: "I didn't expect Xun Gong to come to see my father so soon. ”

"A lot of things are done sooner rather than later." Xun You said: "I also expect Gongzi to make military exploits and return to Xudu to take me to drink flower wine." ”

Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Flower wine is a trivial matter, but I asked for something for Xun Gong." ”

Xun You smiled and asked, "What did Childe get for me?" ”

"Coming to Wuyin, what does Xun Gong want most?" Cao Shuo sold a pass.

After thinking about it, Xun You said, "There's nothing special I want." ”

"I heard that Xun Gong bought a piano, but he was rejected by the store." Cao Shuo asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

Xun You suddenly said: "There is really such a thing. Somehow, the shopkeeper knew that I was going to buy the piano and gave me a closed door. ”

"The shopkeeper has been persuaded by me to give the piano to Xun Gong." Cao Shuo said: "A little later, I will personally send it to Xun Gong's residence. ”

"Childe really got the piano?" Xun You was stunned.

"Got it." Cao Shuo grinned: "But it used a little trick." ”

"Dare to ask what means Childe used?" Xun You said: "Zhang Xiu besieged the city, and our army stationed in Wuyin must not lose the hearts of the people. If you rob it openly, let Cao Gong know that it will cause a lot of trouble, I would rather not. ”

"Xun Gong rest assured." Cao Shuo said: "I do things in a measured way. ”

He told him how he got into the piano shop and how the old man gave him the piano.

Xun You was stunned and said, "Only Gongzi can think of such a method." ”

"It's not that Xun Gong can't think of it." Cao Shuo grinned: "With such a chaotic method, Xun Gong is unwilling to surrender his identity to do it." ”

"Although Childe's approach is a bit tricky, it is effective." Xun You said: "I'm ashamed! ”

"Xun Gong, don't say that." Cao Shuo said: "If I continue to boast like this, I am really ashamed!" ”

"It took some small tricks to get Yaoqin, but the future life of his wife was arranged." Xun You said: "The son is benevolent and righteous, and he will win the hearts of the people in the future." ”

Cao Shuo smiled slightly.

He knew very well that benevolence and righteousness were often done for others to see.

For example, this time, the piano who deceived the old man was still regarded as great benevolence and righteousness!

Thinking about it, he really felt a little guilty.

"Even though I don't know how to play the piano, I can see that it's excellent." Cao Shuo diverted the topic: "Xun Gong really has a unique vision. ”

"That piano is made by the high mountain sycamore." Xun You said: "The sycamore grows very fast, but in the high mountains, it grows slowly due to uneven rain, dew, wind and frost. It takes hundreds of years to become a material. To build a yaoqin, the sycamore wood to be used will take more than a thousand years. I took a fancy to it at first sight, but it's a pity that the store doesn't sell it! ”

"After tonight, it belongs to Xun Gong!" Cao Shuo said.

"Thank you first, Childe." Xun You arched his hand, and then said: "The eldest son's department has entered Wuyin and temporarily handed it over to General Xiahoudun for moderation. I accompanied Gongzi to General Xiahoudun to take over the soldiers! ”

After the defeat of Wancheng, the morale of Cao's generals was very low.

The generals mobilized every day to regain their fighting spirit slightly.

After entering the barracks, looking at Cao Jun, who had no fighting spirit, Cao Shuo said: "The soldiers I want to take over won't be like this, right?" ”

Xun You smiled slightly, and instructed the guard: "General Xiahoudun, just say that the second son and I are here." ”

The guards departed.

Cao Shuo and Xun You were waiting in the place where they had just entered the barracks.

After a while, a black-faced general with a sturdy tower came over with a few people.

He was more than a head taller than Cao Shuo, and he walked far away, like a bear in armor!

"Xun Gong! Second son! When he was about to get closer, Xiahoudun arched his hand and asked, "What wind blew the two of you here?" ”

Cao Cao's biological father, Cao Song, was originally surnamed Xiahou, and passed on to the chamberlain Cao Teng when he was a child.

Cao Cao's lineage should be traced back to the compound surname Xiahou.

Counting the kinship, Xiahoudun is also Cao Cao's younger brother.

Cao Shuo should call him uncle.

Clenching his fists in return, Cao Shuo said: "I've seen General Xiahou!" ”

"Childe doesn't have to be so polite." Xiahoudun smiled and said, "The two of you don't have important matters, and they won't come to the barracks to look for me." If there's anything I can do to help, just ask. ”

"It was Gong Cao who asked me to accompany my son Rong Gongzi." Xun You said: "The remnants of the eldest son's army are temporarily controlled by General Xiahou these days, and Cao Gong intends to let Zirong Gongzi take over. ”

"Take over those soldiers?" Xiahoudun waved his hand and said, "Don't hide it, I've never seen such a decadent soldier. These days I don't worry less, to put it mildly, they are just a puddle of in a dung pit. It would be appropriate for Childe to order troops from elsewhere. ”

"Decadent?" Cao Shuo asked, "Are there still these soldiers in the barracks who are decadent?" ”

"If these soldiers are waste wood, they are hay that can only make fire. Childe knew when he saw it. Xiahoudun said: "Don't say I didn't remind you! ”

Xiahoudun accompanied Cao Shuo and Xun Yu to the depths of the barracks.

Pointing to the barracks in front of him, Xiahoudun said, "The eldest son's old department is there!" ”

Although the soldiers Cao Shuo saw along the way had no fighting intentions, they were busy with their own things.

Outside the barracks that Xiahoudun pointed to, there was not even a single soldier.

"Call them out." Xiahoudun instructed his entourage: "Just say that the second son will take over them!" ”
