Outside Xiapi City, 10,000 Cao troops lined up and waited.

Xiahou Yuan and the others took Guan Yu and entered the city surrounded by a group of guards.

The official mansion, Cao Shuo's room.

Sima Yi stood in the room, and Cao Shuo asked him, "Have you taken good care of Liu Bei's family?" ”

"The arrangement is very secure, don't worry." Sima Yi replied.

"Where are they all now?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"It's been quietly sent to Shouchun." Sima Yi said: "Even if Guan Yu comes, it is impossible to see them. ”

"That's good." Cao Shuo said: "We must create a momentum, so that everyone Guan Yu sees will say that Liu Bei fled with his family at the beginning." ”

"I'm afraid Guan Yu won't believe it." Sima Yi said: "Liu Bei is virtuous, in order to escape for his life, where can he take care of his family?" ”

"If you don't say that Liu Bei brought it out, but say that Zhang Fei escorted it out, Guan Yuxin or not?" Cao Shuo asked.

"If it was Zhang Fei who escorted him out, he might believe it." Sima Yi said: "Although Zhang Fei is reckless, after all, he is loyal, and it is reasonable to escort Liu Bei's family. ”

"It's just ......" Sima Yi hesitated and said, "If Guan Yu follows Cao Gong, he will meet Zhang Fei in the future and ask about it......

"By the time he asked about it, he had already left the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "Will he dare to come to ask for it then?" ”

"What does Gongzi mean ......" Sima Yi asked, "Cao Gong can't keep Guan Yu?" ”

"Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both have some tendons." Cao Shuo said: "They have followed Liu Bei for many years, and they must have a deep understanding of Liu Bei, and of course they will know that Liu Bei is a character behind the surface. It's just that the two of them think that Liu Bei really treats them as brothers, so they can't bear to turn their backs. Pity the two fierce generals, but they were fooled by Liu Bei to this situation. ”

"Zhongda!" Sima Yi was still nodding on the side, and Cao Shuo suddenly grinned at him: "Why don't we come and worship a brother too?" ”

"Childe, what are you talking about?" Sima Yi was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Honorable son, I'm just a general......"

At this point, he stopped.

From the sly smile on Cao Shuo's face, he could see that Cao Shuo was joking.

"Childe knows that I can't be funny." Sima Yi shook his head and said, "I always take some things too seriously. ”

"I actually want to say that as long as we worship our brothers, no matter how I pit you in the future, you will not have two hearts for me." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "This is a full stroke!" ”

Sima Yi's steamed bun black line.

This son of the Cao family jumped too fast.

just talked about Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei, and he was able to pull it on his head.

I really wanted to say to Cao Shuo, 'Don't make trouble', but Sima Yi didn't dare, so he had to stand there and be silent.

Cai Ji's voice came from outside the door: "Childe, General Xiahou asks to see you." ”

Xiahou Yuan came, and Cao Shuo stood up and walked towards the door.

Just as he was about to go out, Xiahou Yuan had already walked in.

Bowing to Cao Shuo with a grin, Xiahou Yuan said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, don't come to the son?" ”

"General Xiahou's blessing, I am getting better and better day by day." Cao Shuo asked, "General Xu and General Zhang didn't come?" ”

"They're still in the army." Xiahou Yuan lowered his voice and asked Cao Shuo: "Son, I heard that Liu Xuande's family is still in Xiapi, is there such a thing?" ”

"Who did General Xiahou listen to?" Cao Shuo said with an innocent face: "There is absolutely no such thing, if I see Liu Xuande's family, why don't I kill them all?" Is it possible to raise tigers for trouble? ”

"Is it really not in Xiapi?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"Not really." Cao Shuo said seriously: "General Xiahou knows me, I have been honest since I was a child, and I will never lie......"

Listening to Cao Shuo's defense, Xiahou Yuan became more and more suspicious in his heart.

If someone else had said these things, he might have believed them.

However, when the words came out of Cao Shuo's mouth, Xiahou Yuan had to be suspicious.

Looking at Cao Shuo suspiciously, Xiahou Yuan said: "Childe, I'm not an outsider, you must not lie to me." ”

"General Xiahou still can't believe me." Cao Shuo pointed to the sky and said: "If Liu Xuande's family is still in Xiapi, let Xuzhou be robbed by him again." ”

"I believe it, but I believe it?" Xiahou Yuan was full of black lines, and hurriedly said, "Childe doesn't need to be like this. ”

"Why did the general think of asking Liu Xuande's family?" I had long known that Guan Yu had surrendered, and I had expected that he would come to Xiapi to ask for Liu Bei's family, but Cao Shuo still pretended to be completely unaware and asked.

"It's not Guan Yunchang yet." Xiahou Yuan said: "I really don't understand what Cao Gong thinks, Guan Yunchang is loyal to Liu Bei, and it will be a scourge to keep him sooner or later, so it is better to cut him directly!" ”

"Actually, I think so, too." Cao Shuo smiled shyly and whispered to Xiahou Yuan, "Why don't we behead her?" When the general returned to Xudu, he said that Guan Yunchang was unfortunately killed in a battle with our army, and the general only brought back his head. ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, Xiahou Yuan's face really showed a thoughtful look.

After thinking for a while, he shook his head and said to Cao Shuo: "I want to do what Gongzi said, but if Cao Gong knows, I can't afford to take responsibility." ”

He whispered to Cao Shuo again: "Childe may not know that Zhang Wenyuan and Guan Yu used to be old friends, if I kill Guan Yu, he will definitely ...... in front of Cao Gong."

"So there's no way to kill Guan Yu." Cao Shuo said with some disappointment: "If a character like him is not killed, he will return to Liu Bei's side in the future, but it will be a big trouble!" ”

"Childe is sure that Liu Xuande is not dead?" Xiahou Yuan said: "Could it be that he has been killed in the chaos, but Gongzi has not found the body?" ”

"Absolutely not dead!" Cao Shuo said: "General Lu personally watched him escape from Xiapi under the escort of Mi Zhu and others, and someone came to report his whereabouts two days ago. ”

"That's going to be a problem." Xiahou Yuan rubbed his hands and said, "If you don't kill Guan Yu, I'm afraid that he will return to Liu Xuande's side in the future." killed him, and was worried that Cao Gong would blame him......"

"The general doesn't have to think about it so much." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Whatever your father arranges, you can do well." ”

"Childe really doesn't know why I asked about Liu Xuande's family?" Xiahou Yuan asked.

"Of course I know, it's Guan Yu who wants to ask me." Cao Shuo said: "It's just that Liu Xuande's family has been escorted by Zhang Fei and escaped, even if I want to give it to him, there is nowhere to find someone." ”

"It's a big problem." Xiahou Yuan said: "Guan Yunchang won't believe that Liu Bei's family members were escorted by Zhang Fei and escaped. ”

"He loves to believe it or not." Cao Shuo said: "Xiapi doesn't have it, I can't create a group of Liu Bei's family members for him!" ”
