"King Wei, the general has arrived." The housekeeper of Cao's Mansion came to Cao Cao's study to report, and Lu Rui came.

"Let Bufan come in, and this king will not see other guests today." Cao Cao waved his hand, and the housekeeper stepped back and brought Lu Rui in.

"The child has seen the middle father!"

"Well, Bufan is here, sit down, take a look at these expressions first. After speaking, Cao Cao pointed to a table full of expressions.

"Yes, Father!" Lu Rui picked up the bamboo slips and looked at them one by one, these are the political expressions that have been put on the table in various places recently. The main content is all suggestions to appease the internal affairs, and at the same time advise Cao Cao to recuperate and not raise any more soldiers.

"Do you see it?"

"Father Zhong, all the adults and soldiers have been fighting for many years, it is certain that you are tired, although Father Zhong cares about the world, but this matter is still in a hurry." Lu Rui arched his hand and returned to Cao Cao. Of course, Lu Rui saw Cao Cao's dissatisfaction, but this is also a matter of no choice, the world has been defeated, of course he has to enjoy it.

"It's extraordinary, this king also knows that all the soldiers are tired, and now it's time to reward meritorious deeds, but this king is not only for the Cao family, but also for the people of the world. If the world cannot be unified in the hands of this king, the people will have to suffer for many more years. Cao Cao sighed, as a king, of course Cao Cao could see the situation clearly, but he also wanted to unify the world earlier, so that the people would not suffer for a few years.

"Father Zhong, although the soldiers are tired, but wealth is what everyone wants, even if our army does not have the heart to attack, it cannot guarantee that other princes will not attack our army. As long as the other princes strike first, our army can counterattack. At that time, it is not impossible for the middle father to rule the world. Lu Rui comforted Cao Cao. There are still more than ten years before Cao Cao's death. Cao Cao still has a chance to dominate the world.

"Well, what Bufan said is reasonable, the other princes are not good people, and they are not people who keep to themselves, as long as they do it first, this king will have a chance to dominate the world." Cao Cao smiled slightly, what Lu Rui said was reasonable, and he still had hope.

"That's right. Extraordinary, in addition to this matter today, there is another thing that needs to be discussed with you, this is the intelligence collected by Zihuan in Tianshui, it seems that Yu is a little dishonest. Cao Cao handed over a secret report from Cao Pi to Lu Rui.

Since he betrayed the roast goose king, he has incorporated the army of the roast goose king, and is now a well-known leader within the Qiang tribe, but Yu has been paying less and less attention to the officials of the court recently, and has found some legitimate reasons. He killed several officials of the imperial court, and also reported the matter to the central court in the name of Cao Cao.

"Extraordinary. What do you think is the mystery of Bi's expression? Cao Cao glanced at Lu Rui, with a slight worry in his eyes.

"Father Zhong, the child is too underestimated, I'm afraid that Bi's talent is not under the conspiracy of our army, he wants to use the residual power of the Han family to unify the Qiang people, and it will become a big disaster for our army in the future." Lu Rui frowned, it seems that it was wrong to stay alive at the beginning.

"Extraordinary, there is no need to future, it is now a big disaster for our army. This is another piece of information sent by Yuan Chang's secret agents within the Qiang tribe. Cao Cao handed another piece of information to Lu Rui. The content of this information made Lu Rui nervous.

Bi actually spread rumors within the Qiang people that Cao Cao wanted to covet the Central Plains by Cao Daihan. It is necessary to raise the army and work for the king, and support the Han family. This rumor, which cannot be regarded as a rumor, is really a heavy blow, and if it is used properly, it will bring a fatal threat to the Cao Wei regime, and even to the entire Han nationality.

Cao Cao's goal is to replace Cao with Cao Han, but this has to be done step by step, not overnight, and it will be a big mistake if it is too hasty. If Liu Xie and Yu unite, then Cao Cao will be in trouble, and the slogan of Fengtianzi An Buchen can no longer be used, but will cause the princes of the world and even foreign tribes to attack.

"Middle Father, is Your Majesty really going to unite with You? Did he ignore his ancestors' inheritance? Lu Rui asked Cao Cao tentatively, Lu Rui is really not sure about Liu Xie's understanding, whether Liu Xie will rely on foreign clans, this is the key to this matter.

"People are selfish and have desires, if Your Majesty really takes that step, we have to plan in advance." Cao Cao made a gesture with his left hand to wipe his neck.

Regicide? Lu Rui was stunned, Cao Cao actually had the intention of killing Liu Xie. Killing the monarch is not a fun thing, killing the king of the previous dynasty is to bear great consequences, which is harmful to the new court, if Cao Cao kills the monarch, the establishment of the Cao Wei regime will be saddled with an unrighteous name.

Throughout history, there are few long-lived dynasties that killed the monarchs of the previous dynasties, and Cao Cao's seizure of the throne in the form of Chan Rang is the best method, killing the monarch is really a strategy, but if Liu Xie does nothing and cooperates with foreign clans, Cao Cao must kill Liu Xie. This is for the sake of the family business, but also for the Han people in the world. If a foreigner is in power, I am afraid that the Han people will not have a good life.

"Father Zhong, this matter is still up for discussion, even if Liu Xie cooperates with foreign clans, even if he doesn't kill Liu Xie with the strength of our army, he can still deal with the invasion of foreign clans and the attack of the princes of the world. Such things that damage his virtue and prestige, the middle father needs to think twice! Lu Rui arched his hand and advised Cao Cao, in case Cao Cao had a hot head and killed Liu Xie, it would be a big deal.

"Extraordinary, if Liu Xie relied on foreign clans to revive the Han Dynasty, his father would definitely kill him. There are pros and cons to everything, if Liu Xie serves a foreigner, the Cao family will punish him. A few generations later, the world will recognize Liu Xie's true face, and at that time, Cao's virtue will surpass that of previous emperors, and as for the guilt, Cao Mengde will bear the responsibility alone! "Cao Cao has already made up his mind that as long as Liu Xie is attached to a foreign clan, then Cao Cao will definitely kill him, and as for the consequences, Cao Cao will bear it alone.

"This?" Lu Rui shook his head, once Cao Cao made a decision, no one could change his decision.

"Father Zhong, although Yu has a rebellious heart, but now Yu should not be determined to rebel, our army can send a messenger to appease Yu, and then order Uncle Xiahou to pay close attention to the actions of the Qiang people, once there is a change, the first strike is stronger." Since Lu Rui had no way to stop Cao Cao, he had to propose a compromise method to monitor Yi, so as not to be attacked first.

"That's all that can be done now. This king will order Zihuan to send an envoy. Test it. At the same time, we should also pay attention to the harvest in the territory. Once the attack is made, there must be no problems with the military quartermaster of our army. Cao Cao nodded, and now he can only take one step at a time.

"Yes, Father!"

"King Wei, General Che Cai, news has come from the General's Mansion that Mrs. Dingguo is about to give birth." Mrs. Dingguo is the title given to Cao Jie by Liu Xie, Mrs. Dingguo of the Han Dynasty!

"Jie'er is about to be born?" Cao Cao and Lu Rui were stunned. It's not seven days before the due date, why is it about to give birth?

"King Wei, the doctor of the General's Mansion sent someone to pass the word, the lady has just had a faint pain, it is a precursor to childbirth, please return to the house quickly."

"Then what are you waiting for, come here, order someone to prepare a car, and go to the Che Cavalry General's Mansion! No, the king himself rode forward. Zhong Kang, go to the horse farm quickly. Cao Cao heard that Cao Jie was going to give birth. He ran out to the Che Cavalry General's Mansion.

"Father, wait for me!" After Cao Cao rushed out of the room, Lu Rui realized that his wife was about to give birth, and his father-in-law ran faster than him.

"The king, the general?" The butler was stunned and rode forward?

"Butler, General Ben and the king go first, order someone to prepare a convoy, and if the female dependents of the Cao Mansion want to go, order General Xu Yi to escort them." Lu Rui gave an order to the housekeeper and followed Cao Cao to the horse farm.

After taking the horses from the Cao family's horse farm, Cao Cao and Lu Rui, under the escort of Xu Chu, took twenty personal guards to the Cheqi General's Mansion.

"Master Hou?" "King Wei?" The guards at the gate of Lu Rui's mansion were stunned for a moment when they saw Lu Rui and Cao Cao. Before they could react, Lu Rui and Cao Cao had already rushed into the general's mansion, with Lu Rui in front and Cao Cao behind, running towards Cao Jie's courtyard.

"See King Wei!" As soon as Lu Rui and Cao Cao arrived in the courtyard, everyone in the courtyard hurriedly asked Cao Cao for peace. At this time, Cao Jie's courtyard was already crowded with people, Zhen's, Guo's, and Diao Chan were all in the courtyard, directing their subordinates to go in and out.

"Alright, let's all get up, no need to be polite." Cao Cao waved his hand, signaling that everyone could get up, and then glanced at Lu Rui again, after all, this was Lu Rui's mansion.

"How's Madame? Is the stable woman coming? Lu Rui stepped forward and shouted.

"General, my sister was just walking in the yard, and suddenly her lower body hurt, and the concubine went to arrange it, and now several experienced women are in the room, hot water and braziers are ready, and my sister is giving birth inside, please don't worry, general." Zhen slowly stepped forward to reply.

"Well, by the way, where is Dr. Hua going?" Lu Rui was stunned for a moment, Hua Tuo was not here. He's a doctor who diagnoses the pulse, and who said there are seven days left to give birth? Thinking of this, Lu Rui wanted to smoke Hua Tuo.

"General, Dr. Hua saw that Mrs. was going to give birth, so he went to prepare medicinal food, after Mrs. gave birth, she needed to regulate her body, and now she is going to prepare, it is just right." Xu Shu saw that Lu Rui was displeased, so he stood up and replied to Lu Rui, could it be that Hua Tuo just gave an approximate due date, and it was indeed not a mistake to be seven days in advance. After all, this is how everyone calculates in this era.

"Well, don't be here, just do whatever you have to do, Madame's production matters!" Seeing that everyone was staring at him and Cao Cao, Lu Rui couldn't cry or laugh, there was also a pregnant woman inside, and these people all stopped their work for the sake of etiquette!

"Yes!" When everyone heard Lu Rui's roar, they all reacted, and hurriedly began to continue the work in hand, Xu Shu ordered someone to move a big chair for Cao Cao, and Lu Rui was pacing back and forth anxiously.

"Ahh Two hours later, Cao Jie began to give birth in earnest, and the cries of desolation kept coming from the house. Many of the Cao family's dependents arrived, and Mrs. Bian brought a few maids in to help. Cao Cao was drinking tea very leisurely, blaming the housekeeper for his report, and he misunderstood the meaning, thinking that Cao Jie was in production.

Now that he has waited for a few hours, Cao Cao has calmed down. After all, Cao Cao has a lot of experience in this area, and the process of giving birth is very long, sometimes it takes a day or two to complete.

"Extraordinary, don't be nervous, the middle father has experience in this area, or let people prepare some food, if it is too long, I am afraid that the middle father will have to stay in the general's mansion tonight." Cao Cao smiled slightly and looked at Lu Rui.

"Yes, Father!" Lao Cao, this is the first time I have a child since I crossed over, can I not be excited? Where is like you, be merciful everywhere, and I don't know how many illegitimate children there are.

"Born, born, congratulations to the general, congratulations to King Wei, Mrs. gave birth to a big fat boy!" A middle-aged woman rushed out of the room and reported the good news to Lu Rui and Cao Cao. (To be continued......)
