Cao Shuo and Hua Tuo were talking outside the door, and Xu Chu stood in the room and listened clearly.

After listening to it for a while, the two of them were talking about Cao Cao's condition.

He returned to Cao Cao and whispered, "What Gongzi and Mr. Hua Tuo are talking about is about Cao Gong's condition. ”

"Is there a way to heal?" Cao Cao asked.

"Mr. Hua Tuo said that Cao Gong's headache is an old disease." Xu Chu replied: "You need to take medicine for long-term conditioning. ”

didn't hear anything unusual from these words, Cao Cao nodded: "It's still Zirong's filial piety, and when he goes out with Hua Tuo, he asks about my condition." ”

"Childe's filial piety is not a day or two." Xu Chu replied: "Cao Gong didn't know about it today. ”

"I've really put less thought into him." Cao Cao said: "I always think of him whenever I go on an expedition, but I often forget him when I have benefits." ”

"Cao Gong said this, if Gongzi listens to it, I don't know how sad he will be." Xu Chu said: "Childe is filial, and he shouldn't want to get any benefits from Cao Gong. ”

Cao Cao nodded and did not speak again.

A moment later, Cao Shuo pushed open the door and walked in with Hua Tuo.

He bowed to Cao Cao: "Father is better?" ”

"It's much better." Cao Cao asked him, "What were Zirong talking to Mr. Hua Tuo just now?" ”

"Talking about my father's condition." Cao Shuo said: "I thought it was a big illness, but it was just a small problem. My father has worked hard for many years, and his headache is just tired. ”

As soon as he said this, Cao Cao completely relieved his heart.

Cao Shuo and Hua Tuo went outside to talk, and they made it clear that they wanted to carry him behind his back.

With Cao Cao's temperament, how could he not be cranky?

Xu Chu overheard what the two were talking and retold it to him first.

Cao Shuo explained again, and Cao Cao understood that he didn't want to ask about his condition in front of him.

After all, people who are sick will not be in a good mood when they hear that they have an incurable disease.

"Is there a cure?" Cao Cao looked at Hua Tuo.

Hua Tuo said: "Cao Gong's illness is a perennial illness that has been accumulated over the years, and it will not be cured for a while and a half. It can only be treated with herbs first, and if the pain is unbearable, ask a doctor to administer an injection. ”

"Who can rejuvenate like Mr." Cao Cao sighed.

"It's easy." Hua Tuo said: "The location of the needle remains the same, and I only need to tell the doctor around Cao Gong when I turn around." ”

"Mr. Law." Knowing that Hua Tuo refused to stay by his side, Cao Cao didn't speak.

"Zhongkang, you go ahead of the students to get some rewards." Cao Cao gave Xu Chu an order.

Knowing that he had something to say to Cao Shuo alone, Xu Chu agreed, and then said to Hua Tuo: "Sir, please come with me." ”

Hua Tuo retired and left accompanied by Xu Chu.

When the two of them went out, Cao Cao said to Cao Shuo: "Gongda has passed away, and there is one less person around me who can be used, can you let Feng Xiao come back first?" ”

"Fengxiao's body bones have been conditioned well recently." Cao Cao thought that Cao Shuo would try his best to shirk it, but he actually agreed: "Father wants him to go back, I'll go back and talk to him." ”

"If I had known that Gongda was suffering from tuberculosis, I should have let him live in Shouchun for a few days." Cao Cao sighed: "Gongda is gone, who else can I rely on in the future?" ”

"Father can't say that." Cao Shuo said: "Gongda is gone, and there are still many people available around my father. But here, I don't have many people available. ”

"There are more people around you than I am, how many are you going to want?" Cao Cao smiled weakly: "Give you all the talents in the world, can you use it?" ”

"I'm not a father, and I don't have the ability to help the world." Cao Shuo said humbly: "Of course I can't control it." ”

"I can't help it, but it's not like you." Cao Cao said: "I know your ability, and everyone in the world knows it." This time, I crusaded against Xiliang, but I was actually driven through Tongguan by Ma Chao and Han Sui, and I could only be trapped in Chang'an. If you hadn't arrived in time, I wouldn't have known what I would have done. ”

"No matter how many talents I have, aren't they all from the Cao family?" Cao Shuo said: "Ma Chao and Han Sui were able to come to Chang'an, and it was also my father's carelessness. If their father had prepared enough food and grass, how could they have any chance? ”

"I feel so much better when you say that." Cao Cao smiled slightly, and said to Cao Shuo: "If most of them are peaceful today, only Xiliang, Hanzhong, Yizhou and Jiaozhou are not in the hands of our Cao family. How many years do you think it will take for us to dominate the world? ”

"Ten years less." Cao Shuo said: "It will take a year or two to crusade against Xiliang, and it will take another year or two for the army to enter Hanzhong again." The Sun family in Jiaozhou and Liu Xuande, who is entrenched in Yizhou, are not easy to deal with, I said that ten years is still faster. ”

"Ten years." Cao Cao sighed: "I don't know if ten years later, I am still not in this world." ”

"My father is in the prime of life, how can he say such a thing?" Cao Shuo said: "In my opinion, my father can live for another hundred years. ”

"You never thought about inheriting the entire Cao family and achieving your hegemony?" Cao Cao suddenly asked Cao Shuo.

"Honestly, I thought about it." Cao Shuo admitted it unabashedly, and then said: "But the grand plan of hegemony is nothing compared to my father. I'd rather not be a Cao family for the rest of my life than be a fatherless child. ”

Cao Shuo said that he was emotional and lowered his head.

After staring at him for a long time, Cao Cao said, "I have long understood your thoughts. ”

He then turned the conversation around and asked Cao Shuo, "How did you arrange Gongda's funeral?" ”

"Gongda has made countless contributions to the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "I feel that his funeral must not be arbitrary, so Tian Yuanhao and Pang Shiyuan will be buried as generals." ”

"That's the right arrangement." Cao Cao said: "It's a pity that I will never see Gongda again from now on." ”

Speaking of this, Cao Cao was emotional, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"Father, don't be sad, why don't I invite Fengxiao to talk to my father?" Cao Shuo asked.

"It's good!" Cao Cao replied: "I haven't seen Fengxiao for many days, and I really miss him." ”

"Father sit down, I'll come when I go." Cao Shuo retired and left.

Tian Feng and Pang Tong were in charge of Xun You's funeral, and Guo Jia also stayed there to help.

has been with Xun You's colleagues for many years, and he is suddenly separated by yin and yang, and he is really uncomfortable in his heart.

As Xun You's uncle, Xun is of course grief-stricken.

was helping to deal with Xun You's funeral, Deng Zhan came to Guo Jia's side: "Son, please talk about Guo Gong." ”

Looking at Deng Zhan, Guo Jia asked, "Did Childe say why he was looking for me?" ”

"Nope." Deng Zhan replied: "Just let me invite Guo Gong." ”

Cao Shuo asked Deng Zhan to invite him, and Guo Jia had already guessed that it might be because of Cao Cao.

He said to Deng Zhan: "Please General Deng lead the way!" ”
