Chapter 14: Defeating Xu Shu
"Minister, meet the fourth prince."
Sima Yi saluted in a panic, and Cao Xuan smiled.
"No need to be polite."
Cao Xuan helped Sima Yi sit down, and he also took a small bench and sat aside.
"I came to you this time to ask you to assist me."
"Your resourcefulness is not a few points worse than that of the Sleeping Dragon and Phoenix Chicks, or even stronger than them."
"Now that Guo Jia is dead, I'm afraid that you are the only one in the world who is enough to compete with Zhuge Liang."
Sima Yi frowned slightly.
This remark caught him a little off guard.
Even though he was resourceful, at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
"I don't know what Childe means by this?"
But despite this, Sima Yi still chose to pretend to be stupid.
Now he doesn't want to get involved in these things for the time being, as for the future, he will naturally talk about it later.
Cao Xuan smiled.
"Sooner or later you will be my subordinate, and I will tell my father that you are coming."
He smiled meaningfully and left.
Looking at Cao Xuan's back, Sima Yi fell into deep thought.
……
In the days that followed, Cao Xuan was taught by the four emperors, and his military and military forces were greatly improved.
Until June.
Chen left a place on the execution ground.
Kong Rong was asked.
At the same time, Cao Xuan pretended to be an accident and came to Xu Shu's mansion.
He looked up and down, like a child who didn't know why, wandering around stupidly.
At this time, Xu Shu walked out.
After seeing Cao Xuan, he couldn't help frowning.
"You are, Fourth Son."
Xu Shu hurriedly came to Cao Xuan's side and bowed.
"Chen, Xu Shu, see the fourth son."
Cao Xuan helped Xu Shu up and said with a smile.
"I have nothing to do today, I have walked around, and I never thought that I would come to this strange courtyard."
"But I don't know who Mr. is?"
Xu Shu smiled.
"In Xia Xu Shu."
Cao Xuan nodded.
"It turned out to be Lord Xu, I never thought that Lord Xu would live here."
Hearing Cao Xuan's words, Xu Shu was stunned.
"The fourth prince knows about me?"
Cao Xuan nodded.
"I naturally know the name of Lord Xu, and there are few strategists like you who can look at the whole world."
"Compared to the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks, they are all better!"
Hearing this, Xu Shu smiled.
"Where can the minister be compared with the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, ashamed and ashamed."
Cao Xuan looked around the courtyard and pointed to the chessboard over there.
"I don't know if Lord Xu can be leisurely and elegant, how about our next game of chess?"
Xu Shu nodded again and again, and came to the chessboard with Cao Xuan.
On the stone table is printed the nine-way Go, which is still an endgame.
Just as Xu Shu was about to clean up the chess pieces, Cao Xuan dropped a black piece on top of the endgame.
Immediately, the situation of Baizi's great victory was reversed.
This made Xu Shu stunned.
"I thought about this endgame for three days and three nights and didn't find a way to survive the black chess, but I never thought that Childe would break this chess game with one move!"
"Childe is amazing!"
"In this way, Bai Zi should lose."
This move completely shocked Xu Shu.
After he came to Cao Ying, he heard that Cao Xuan was a useless stupid boy.
But this Go endgame is enough to break the enemy with one move, and this kind of person is a stupid boy.
I'm afraid the talent behind it is really stupid.
Cao Xuan smiled.
"It can be seen that Lord Xu doesn't seem to be happy in my Cao Ying."
"The breaking point of this game of chess, if Lord Xu lets go of the worries in his heart, I'm afraid he will see this step."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Shu's heart was shocked.
At this time, Xu Shu carefully observed the chess game, and immediately his pupils narrowed slightly.
"I see, I see!"
Because after coming to Cao Ying, Xu Shu's mind was completely restrained, and he thought about Shu Ying all day long, so he never found a breakthrough in this step.
"Hehe, it's a pity, it's a pity that my heart is really not here."
Cao Xuan nodded.
"It's okay, Mr. will accompany me in a game of chess first, if I win, you can stay here with peace of mind and assist my father, if I lose, I will let you go, what does Mr. think?"
The temptation provided by Cao Xuan was a little great, but Xu Shu was a little reluctant.
He seemed to be afraid that he would lose.
Cao Xuan shook his head.
"Sir, why should you care about winning or losing?"
"The general trend of the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be divided for a long time, but the people of the world fight for war and do not care about the life and death of the people."
"My father unified the north, and now the south will unify the south, and the people will naturally live and work in peace and contentment!"
"Our ultimate goal is just to want peace in the world and no more wars!"
Hearing this, Xu Shu fell into deep thought.
He always cared that this was Cao Ying, but after listening to Cao Xuan's words, he felt that he was a little one-sided.
The unification of the world and the peaceful living and working of the people are the ultimate goal of war.
But he was still thinking about the Ming Monarch and the Ming Lord, which was really a little ridiculous.
For example, there are only three masters today.
Liu Bei, Cao Cao, Sun Quan.
These three people are all righteous masters, and no matter who dominates the world, it is a good thing.
"Childe is right, since this is the case, the minister will accompany Childe in the next game!"
Seeing that Xu Shu agreed, the smile on the corner of Cao Xuan's mouth raised slightly.
Sure enough, these people's ambitions are nothing more than to dominate the world.
If you want to attract them, you just need to say something tempting enough.
The game begins.
Cao Xuan took the lead in black.
The two initially competed for corner land, and then gradually began to expand their territory.
But gradually, Xu Shu found that Cao Xuan's layout began to be messy.
There are no rules to follow at all, like a novice who has just played Go.
This gradually made him suspicious again.
But it just went down, and after half a sound, Xu Shu actually began to lose.
No matter how much you defend or attack, your territory is always shrinking.
Soon, he lost control of the game.
"What!"
Xu Shu looked at the chessboard in disbelief.
The white son was divided by the sunspot, and the end was not connected, and then it was gradually eaten away by the sunspot.
Eventually, it disappeared completely.
The moment Xu Shu lost, his eyes widened.
"How is this possible!"
He was defeated, and he was defeated badly.
There is no chance of winning at all.
"Childe is a good chess player!"
At this time, Cao Cao also came to Xu Shu's courtyard.
Seeing the two sitting and playing chess, he immediately walked over.
"Are you playing chess?"
Cao Cao looked at the chess game and frowned slightly.
Both stood up at the same time and saluted respectfully.
"Prime Minister."
Cao Cao waved his hand and watched the chess game fascinated.
"The black chess piece is Lord Xu."
Xu Shu hurriedly shook his head.
"Black chess is the fourth son."
Hearing this, Cao Cao showed a look of shock.
"This ...... Xiaoxuan, seriously? ”
Cao Xuan nodded again and again.
"Nature is true."
Hearing this, Cao Cao smiled.
"Okay, good, it's worthy of being my son, and he really has some ability!"
"I was really impressed to be able to defeat Mr. Xu!"
