Mrs. Cai left satisfied.

After saving a matchmaker, he actually saved 100,000 copper coins for Liu Biao.

However, Cao Shuo is not completely unconditional, Huang Yueying is married, and all the dowries have to be paid by Liu Biao of Jingzhou.

After a rough calculation, no matter how much the dowry is given, it is impossible to exceed 100,000 copper coins.

No matter how you think about it, this marriage is worth it, and Mrs. Cai is of course satisfied.

Also satisfied is Cao Shuo.

After Mrs. Cai left, Tian Feng came to the tent.

He happened to collide with Mrs. Cai and Cai Mao.

After entering the tent, Tian Feng asked Cao Shuo, "Gongzi has only seen Mrs. Liu's family?" ”

"Tian Gong met them?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I just took a picture." Tian Feng said: "I see that Mrs. Liu's family is full of spring, and it seems that she has received a lot of benefits from her son. ”

"She got the benefits, and I got what I wanted." Cao Shuo said: "When I came to Jingzhou this time, in addition to looking for Sima Hui and others, I also had a plan, which was to make a family appointment with Huang Chengyan's daughter. Unexpectedly, I didn't mention it yet, but Mrs. Cai mentioned it first. ”

"She protects the media for Childe, and also to be able to have a deeper connection with Childe." Tian Feng said: "As long as the son agrees to this family business, he will be a relative to her in the future, and it will be difficult to start with Jingzhou." ”

"She's thinking too much." Cao Shuo said: "The world is the world, conquest is still conquest, and no matter how close it is, it is impossible for me to give up Kuang Fu Han and revitalize the majesty of China for the sake of this distant relative." I'm going to come to Jingzhou sooner or later, just to let them have a little more leisure in the past two years. ”

"Childe has big ambitions, how can they understand." Tian Feng asked, "I wonder how long Gongzi plans to stay in Xiangyang?" ”

"It won't be long." Cao Shuo said: "In the past two days, I have to visit Sima Hui and Pang Degong, wait until they are persuaded to surrender, and then return to Shouchun with Huang Chengyan and Huang Hansheng's family." ”

Just as he was talking to Tian Feng, Cao Shuo heard Cai Ji's voice outside the tent: "Qiyu Gongzi, the second son asks to see." ”

He came to Xiangyang with Cao Pi and was stationed outside the city for many days, but Cao Shuo not only did not attack the city, but also did not take any military action.

Hearing that Cao Pi asked to see him, Cao Shuo said to Tian Feng: "When Zihuan came to see me, he must have asked when he would use troops in Jingzhou. ”

"The second son doesn't know the child's plan?" Tian Feng asked.

"If Yuan Hao is me, will he know?" Cao Shuo asked with a slight smile.

"I look at the appearance of the second son, and he is not a good match." Tian Feng said: "It's not that I instigate the relationship between the sons and brothers, but we still have to be wary of the second son." ”

"Yuan Hao reminded that." Cao Shuo said: "I also know that my brother is not an ordinary character. He is now deferential to me because he does not have the strength to fight against me. If one day, he thinks that he has strength, he will never take me as the eldest brother in his eyes, and even want to get rid of me and replace him. ”

"But what can Childe do?" Tian Feng shook his head and said, "Gong Cao is still here, so the son can't do anything to the second son." ”

Cao Shuo didn't say anything more, and said to Tian Feng with a slight smile: "Yuan Hao go first, Zihuan has me to deal with it." Since I am the son of the Cao family, I will act like an eldest brother, so that he will be jealous of me from now on, and if he wants to be my enemy in the future, he must first weigh his strength. ”

"It's good that Childe is sure, I'll retire first!" Tian Feng hugged his fists and retreated, and walked out of the handsome tent.

When he left the tent, he happened to have a face-to-face with Cao Pi.

Seeing Tian Feng come out, Cao Pi saluted him and said, "I've seen Tian Gong." ”

"The second son doesn't have to be polite." Tian Feng returned the salute and said, "Childe is waiting in the tent. ”

After thanking Tian Feng, Cao Pi opened the curtain and walked in.

Seeing him come in, Cao Shuo asked, "You don't inspect the barracks, what are you doing here to see me?" ”

"Brother!" Cao Pi made a big salute and asked, "I don't know when our army will attack Xiangyang?" ”

"How many days do you think it will take for us to fight Xiangyang?" Cao Shuo asked.

Cao Pi thought for a moment: "Xiangyang City is high and deep, if it is a strong attack, it will be difficult to take it in three or five months." ”

"What is the most important thing for our Cao family now?" Cao Shuo asked again.

Cao Pi was stunned and didn't know how to respond.

"The battle between the Yuan family in Hebei, Yuan Shang and Yuan Tan is in full swing." Cao Shuo said: "I don't know if you have heard that Yuan Shang has taken Hebei in the name of Yuan Gong, Yuan Tan is not convinced, the brothers have attacked each other, but the battle is not very big." ”

"I've heard that." Cao Pi said: "But Hebei is Hebei, and Jingzhou is Jingzhou." The army is in Jingzhou, can it still take care of Hebei? ”

"Do you know what the world is?" Cao Shuo glared at him.

was glared at by Cao Shuo, Cao Pi hurriedly lowered his head and replied worriedly: "The world is the ...... of Jiangshan Sheji"

With a cold smile, Cao Shuo asked, "In your opinion, the world is just a country and a country?" ”

"Exactly." Hearing something wrong from Cao Shuo's words, Cao Pi didn't dare to ask, so he had to keep his head down.

"I'll tell you what the world is." Cao Shuo said: "Wherever we can go is the world!" Whether it is Tiannan, Haibei or Haibei, as long as we can go, we can conquer! Where you can conquer, it's the world! Our world! ”

Cao Pi looked up at Cao Shuo in astonishment.

Although he felt that what Cao Shuo said was very reasonable, he felt as if something was wrong.

"Don't understand?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Brother, please forgive the little brother for being stupid, I really don't understand......" Cao Pi replied.

"In other words, why are we fighting in the south and in the north?" Cao Shuo turned to Cao Pi and asked, "What kind of goal do you want to achieve in the southern and northern wars?" ”

"For the restoration of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the country." Cao Pi said: "My father has always told me this. ”

"Father told you the big picture, but what I'm going to tell you today is the details." Cao Shuo said: "We fought in the south and in the north in order to conquer. Those who are willing to surrender to us, we will let them live. Those who refuse to surrender to us, or those who are superficially sincere but secretly harbor evil intentions, we must completely erase them. We fight to conquer, that's all. ”

Cao Pi opened his mouth slightly and looked at Cao Shuo blankly.

"I don't care if you understand it or not, you just need to know one thing." Cao Shuo said: "Conquest does not necessarily require fighting each other. Now that I have conquered Jingzhou, they no longer dare to make trouble with our Cao family, there is no need for me to fight them again. At least until our Cao family wants to hold the whole world in their hands, there is no need to beat them. ”

"Understood?" Cao Shuo glared at Cao Pi and asked.
