536 Worries about going north
Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and finally accepted Wang Baoyu's proposal, and then found Xun You, a strategist who had been promoted to Zhongshu Ling, and asked him to quietly arrange five hundred strong warriors, disguised as disguises, to secretly infiltrate Jingzhou to find Cao Chong's whereabouts.
After the arrangement was made, Cao Cao paced around the house several times with his hands behind his back, and his favorite son was still alive, this surprise was really too big.
Thinking of Cao Chong's well-behaved and peaceful appearance, Cao Cao's heart ached faintly, and he almost cried again.
Looking back at Wang Baoyu, who brought the news, Cao Cao came to him with a wine glass, and said apologetically: "Baoyu, my actions last night were really reckless, just because my beloved son is heartfelt, and I hope you don't mind." ”
"Alas, there is a saying that a companion is like a companion tiger, with you people, this life is very worrying, quite boring." Wang Baoyu sighed.
"Hehe, I'm not as capricious as the outside world rumores, scheming and power can be used against the enemy, and for the credible people around me, I often speak out, which is really my true temperament."
Cut, I've never seen someone put gold on their skin like this, and their skin is thick enough! Wang Baoyu sighed: "In this era, human life is not valuable, people will eventually die, but they can't die in a nest!" ”
"Hehe, why do you mention these frustrating words again? Don't be afraid, I can also give you a piece of Danshu iron coupon, and naturally no one dares to touch you here. ”
"No one dares, but you dare!" Wang Baoyu didn't appreciate it, pouted and muttered: "What kind of iron coupons and golden coupons, it's not your words to kill or chop." ”
"If you don't get angry with me, I won't kill you." Cao Cao said with a smile.
Wang Baoyu had a drink with Cao Cao, which was regarded as resolving last night's unpleasantness. Cao Cao smiled mysteriously: "That happy pill, the effect is extraordinary, I should fulfill my promise and give you that golden arrow." ”
"It's not bad." Wang Baoyu finally grinned.
The friend was happy, and Cao Cao was also happy, so he immediately ordered to go down and make a token to avoid death. The attendants immediately rushed to handle it, and an hour later, a yellow and clear token plus a golden arrow was sent over, Wang Baoyu accepted it unceremoniously, and his waist suddenly straightened a lot.
"Lao Cao, think about it, if there is anything you need my help with, I will spare no effort. It's just, to be honest, I really want to keep going north. Wang Baoyu said bluntly.
"You brought the news of Chong'er, I should have let you go, but where you are going, you must pass through Wuhuan, Lone Zeng led a large army to fight for many days, making him bow down. After the first battle in Jiangdong, my losses were immeasurable, and Wuhuan immediately led the people to move north and merged into Xianbei. If you go north, you may not be able to save your life. Cao Cao said frankly.
When Wang Baoyu heard Cao Cao say this, his heart suddenly cooled, and he said depressedly: "You mean, it's difficult for me to get through this place?" ”
"Not now, but when the time comes." Cao Cao nodded.
When Wang Baoyu was in Jingzhou, he had been hesitant to go north because he was afraid of Cao Cao's forces, but today he learned that Cao Cao's forces were not terrible, but they were the nomads of the so-called wild land.
Seeing the sadness on Wang Baoyu's face, Cao Cao said solemnly: "Although the north is now fixed, the external troubles should not be underestimated. Sun Quan and Liu Bei are eyeing each other, and Xiliang Ma Teng also has the intention of separating, and it is really difficult for me to conquer the Kanto region again. Be relieved, and in time, I will help you go north to fulfill your wish. ”
"Lao Cao, thank you, it's really righteous." Wang Baoyu said with emotion.
Cao Cao was silent for a long time, remembered something, and said to Wang Baoyu: "Baoyu, I see that you have a lot of beauty, and there is no obstacle to arguing, and there is something to do today, and I want you to do it." ”
"Does this have anything to do with having beautiful women?" Wang Baoyu heard the meaning of Cao Cao's words.
"It's not a secret, the year before last, I took Cai Yong's daughter Wen Ji back from the Huns with a lot of money, but I didn't expect this woman to be so heartfelt, she fled back to the Huns last month, which was really depressing." Cao Cao said.
"If you run, you run, what's the matter?" Wang Baoyu asked puzzled.
Cao Cao sighed, as if there was something unspeakable, and hesitated again and again before saying: "Wen Ji is both talented and beautiful, my third son Zhi'er, admires his talent, and has been thinking about it in his heart. ”
Wang Baoyu was really shocked, he never thought that Cao Zhi, a dignified talent, would actually admire Cai Wenji, but he was a talented woman and a good story.
I heard on the road before that Cao Zhi likes his sister-in-law Zhen Mi, but I really don't know who Cao Zhi has more true feelings for between the two women.
From this point of view, in history, Cao Cao took Cai Wenji back at any cost for his son, and Cai Wenji not only agreed to marry Cao Zhi, but also ran away.
"I have nearly 20 sons, and the most beloved is Chong'er, followed by Zhi'er. Zhi'er is handsome and talented, and I secretly intended to cultivate him. But Zhi'er was fascinated by love, and since she learned that Wen Ji was gone, she drank and got drunk all day long, often wandering around in disheveled clothes, and was completely unorthodox, which made me worried. Cao Cao continued.
"Then you want to get Cai Wenji back?" Wang Baoyu understood and asked.
"That's exactly what it means."
"But then again, if Cai Wenji is still unwilling, wouldn't Cao Zhi be injured for the second time?" Wang Baoyu almost said that it was Cao Pi who would gain power in the future, and it was useless to cultivate Cao Zhi like this!
"Definitely!" Cao Cao disagreed, "Give more rewards, build a big house, and lift up more, how can a woman not be tempted?" This time, she must be married to Zhi'er. ”
"You're such a good father." Wang Baoyu Khan.
Cao Cao nodded and said, "In the name of the envoy, you will send an envoy to the Huns, and you will definitely persuade that Wen Ji to return." ”
Wang Baoyu hesitated, in his mind, the Huns were a group of barbarians, wearing leather clothes, eating raw meat, killing people without blinking, once he went, it was really hard to say whether he could come back.
"Lao Cao, can I go? The language barrier, they are savage, maybe as soon as they show their heads, they will be killed, and they will not take their lives in vain? Wang Baoyu said with a bitter face.
"There is no need to worry about this matter, this clan of Huns is still bowing down, and they will not embarrass you." Cao Cao waved his hand.
"Bow down? Wouldn't that be simpler, just send a letter to them to send Cai Wenji back? Wang Baoyu still didn't want to go.
"This matter is not possible, now that Wen Ji goes to the Xiongnu again, if he is forced to return, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not seek death in the short term, and then it will not be the first time?" Cao Cao said.
"Okay, then I'll go to the Huns and try to get Cai Wenji back." Wang Baoyu knew that he couldn't refuse, so he could only say hard.
