In the fourth year of Jian'an, after Yuan Shao eliminated Gongsun Zhan, he continued to select elite soldiers and prepared to attack Xudu.

The strong enemy pressed the territory, and Cao Cao ordered Zangba, Yu Ban and other generals to garrison troops everywhere to contend with them, and the war was almost imminent.

May is approaching, Cao Chong is about to be three years old, even if the outside world is not peaceful, Cao Cao insists on wanting to be by Cao Chong's side, just like an ordinary father, to celebrate a birthday for his favorite child.

Cao Chong is smart by nature, he has been able to memorize poetry and books, Lingxi has not seen Cao Chong for a few days, and when he said goodbye, he happened to see him reciting "Gaozu Benji" to Cao Cao, and he said it very clearly and fluently.

Guo Jia on the side couldn't help but open his mouth to praise, and it was expected that this son would definitely be able to achieve something great in the future.

Cao Cao is even more fond of him, he has been fighting abroad almost every year in the past few years, and it is a pity that he did not accompany Cao Chong to grow up day by day.

Lingxi walked over, Cao Chong saw it, ran over happily, and hugged Lingxi: "Mother, I haven't seen you for a few days, where have you been?" ”

Cao Chong is a little prodigy in the eyes of everyone, and it is inevitable that he still relies on his mother.

Lingxi squatted down and hugged Cao Chong, and said with a smile: "Chong'er misses her mother, and her mother misses Chong'er too, it's not for your father, my mother went to be a lobbyist." ”

"Did my mother go to see General Guan Yu?"

"How do you know?" Lingxi was stunned, but she didn't expect Cao Chong to know where she went. She looked up at Cao Cao and asked, "Why do you tell him everything, he is still a child, and it's not good to think too much." ”

And Cao Cao looked innocent: "This is not what I said, did you say it, Fengxiao?" ”

I saw Guo Jia smiling and shaking his head, and he continued: "Chong'er expected it himself, it is estimated that he has been by my side for the past few days, and he often listens to us talk." ”

Lingxi looked at the child in her arms in more and more surprise and hugged him tightly.

She is different from them, she naturally hopes that her child is smart and smart, but she is worried about his safety all the time, compared to his health, she hopes that the flesh and blood in her arms is not Cao Chong, just an ordinary child.

This time she left the Prime Minister's Mansion to go out, one was to go to Guan Yu's place, and the other was to visit her master Hua Tuo, she hoped that there would be some way to protect Cao Chong and prevent him from dying early in the future.

This matter is equivalent to changing one's life against the sky, even if the master is a divine doctor, there is nothing to do.

As for Guan Yu, after returning to Xudu, Cao Cao rewarded him with a house, money, and beauties, and even rewarded him with the BMW Red Rabbit left after the defeat of Lu Bu, which can be described as a graceful Qitian.

It's a pity that no matter what, Guan Yu has always remembered his brother in his heart.

Lingxi didn't mean to go, but she took the initiative to mention it, she just wanted to see Guan Yu, after all, he was also one of her life-saving benefactors.

"What did Guan Yu say?" Cao Cao asked.

"Your favor to Guan Yu is too great, he has not made meritorious contributions but has been rewarded repeatedly, which makes him restless, but he is still the same, and he never leaves Liu Bei."

Lingxi sighed: "It's better to let it be, and you don't have to send things anymore." I know you love Cai, since you are reluctant to kill him, what else can you do. ”

"I knew it was going to be like this, don't mind."

Cao Cao comforted him instead: "I didn't ask you to go to be a lobbyist, but it was just a grievance against you, and at the same time, Guan Yu saw that such an important person as my wife was sent to inquire about him, which shows that I attach great importance to him." ”

"Mrs. Huan doesn't know, the prime minister just wants to use these graces to make it difficult for Guan Yu to forget the prime minister's kindness, even if he leaves in the future, he still remembers the kindness of the prime minister to him." Guo Jia said in one word.

"I see, no wonder you know that you can't move him, and you often call General Zhang Liao over, and agree to call me over." Lingxi now understood that the gap between himself and Cao Cao was still a little big.

She looked at Guo Jia: "Master Guo, you still know your lord, I will never be able to understand the world of your smart people, but I am afraid that Guan Yu will not understand it." ”

"Mrs. Huan, in fact, it's not just a child like Xiao Gongzi, even if it's us, it's not good to think too much, as the so-called wisdom will hurt, don't think about it if you don't want to."

Guo Jia smiled, and turned to curiosity: "Can you reveal what you and Guan Yu talked about?" What do you guys have to talk about. ”

"Go away, go away, don't you say everything, we have something to talk about, I just said a few words of condolences, I hope he stays, and then went to see Liu Bei's two wives." Lingxi teased, this Guo Jia is afraid that it is deliberate, didn't you see that Cao Cao was also here.

She secretly looked at Cao Cao and saw that he was paying attention to Cao Chong, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

If Cao Cao knew that Guan Yu mentioned to her Liu Bei's deep affection for him in his words, and that he comforted Guan Yu that Liu Bei must not be dead, then he would have overturned the vinegar jar.

……

A few days later, the Prime Minister's Mansion was bustling with activity, which was rare in recent years. Cao Cao celebrated his beloved son's birthday, and also took this opportunity to have a reunion dinner with his family, after which he prepared to set off for the front line of Guandu.

Time passed like water, and in a flash, they got together again, Cao Ren remembered his words that day, and couldn't help but sigh again: "Why is it that only my sister-in-law is young and beautiful." ”

Cao Ren was the closest to Cao Cao, and he could say whatever he wanted, even if it was forbidden to talk about Lingxi in the mansion, he still couldn't help but ask again.

And Lingxi had no choice but to say helplessly: "If I really know why, I will tell you, so that you are also young, I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." You've done great things, and I don't seem to have changed. ”

In the past few years, she has seen the group of friends around her, one by one from the prime of life to calm, Guo Jia has become a military advisor to the sacrificial wine, Xun Yu is even more respected as Shangshu Lingjun, Cao Ren has also become a father, and has become the chief general of the Chinese army, it seems that she is the only one, like a person who reads stories......

"Why should the rhino be sad, it's just small talk."

After the dinner, the night grew darker, everyone left, Cao Cao picked up the Lingxi, and walked towards the courtyard of the Lingxi.

He still can't help but have some romantic feelings, which makes Lingxi shy but worried: "How bad it is for you to let me down, so that people can see it." ”

"This is our house, who are you afraid will see it?" Cao Cao smiled, this smile had a seductive power in the night, so that Lingxi couldn't help but sink and wrapped around his shoulder.

Unbeknownst to them, at the end of a corridor, a figure was buried in the night, its twinkling eyes staring at Lingxi's happy smiling face, unwilling to leave for a long time.

"Xi'er, in a few days, I will go to Guandu, and I will decide whether to go to war with Yuan Shao in a few days."

Cao Cao wrapped Lingxi's body around him, as if he was saying something in love, at least not about such an important matter.

Since that day, Cao Cao has often listened to Lingxi's views on some things, and regarded her as his favorite woman and a confidant.

"Xun Yu, what do they say?" Lingxi asked.

"I'll discuss it tomorrow, and I'd like to hear your thoughts first."

"I expect that tomorrow Xun Yu will give you a satisfactory answer." Lingxi said: "Presumably, the lord began to prepare for this decisive battle a few years ago, this still needs to be asked, of course it is a battle, and the lord will definitely win." ”
