As soon as these words came out, the temple suddenly fell silent. Someone looked at Lu Su and said in their hearts that this guy is also a bold man who dares to say anything.

I saw Cao Cao smile and said: "I am Hanchen, Xuande is a general, and he adheres to the government." I should be restrained by it, but how dare I confront the court and your majesty? As for competing for the world, I have never intended to do this, isn't Zijing misunderstood? Being able to be rich and heirloom and rank as a prince is also my blessing. ”

Such a down-to-earth thing as competing for dominance in the world, even if it is behind closed doors, Cao Cao will not say it. What's more, in front of the ministers and Lu Su. There are some things that are destined to be done but not said.

And even if everyone knew it, he didn't want to let Lu Su have the upper hand. Don't you want to force me to send troops to help? I won't admit it, it's not as good as you like. Negotiations are like that, and they must not be led by the nose. Even if he wanted to send troops to help Jiangdong, Cao Cao had to come at his own pace.

When Lu Su heard this, he sighed in his heart, Cao Cao deserved to be one of the most powerful figures in the world. In a few words, looking at it left and right, four or two thousand pounds, lightly made what he just said meaningless. Lu Su really wanted to stand up immediately and say okay, since Cao Gong, you don't want to compete for the world and want to be a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty, then I have nothing to say, let's see you again. But Lu Su still resisted this impulse. Cao Cao can be a scoundrel and can flip the table, but he can't.

Lu Su did not continue to raise the bar with Cao Cao, but changed the topic, he laughed, and said to Cao Cao: "I have heard for a long time that the army under the command of the king is full of martial arts, and there are countless handsome people. I wonder if you can introduce me to one or two? ”

Cao Cao also stopped in moderation and did not continue the topic, otherwise it would be really an embarrassing conversation. Seeing that Lu Su asked about the martial arts under his command, he happily took over the conversation and began to introduce it to Lu Su.

In this meeting, Lu Su failed to find a breakthrough. Cao Cao is cunning and cunning, and the civil and military ministers under his command are either silent or concerned about him. He was very anxious in his heart, but his face was calm and calm and laughing with everyone. He knew that if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to reach it, and it would be strange for Cao Cao not to delay him and fight for more benefits for Yizhou. Lu Su only hoped that Cao Cao wouldn't go too far, if it dragged on for too long, and Liu Bei had any new moves, it would be really bad.

Of course, Cao Cao can tell the difference. Of course, reinforcements must be sent, and saving Jiangdong is equivalent to saving himself. How could he sit back and watch Sun Ce being beaten by Liu Bei. As soon as Jiangdong is finished, Yizhou will be completely surrounded by Liu Bei, where else can he retreat?

After the banquet, in Cao Cao's study, the civil and military ministers were all there. Cao Cao looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "I want to save Jiangdong, but I was an enemy with it before, and now I am helping it, I am afraid that the generals and soldiers in the army will complain, so I want to ask Jiangdong for the resources of the army, so I want to ask Jiangdong for the capital of the army." What do you think? ”

Well, set the tone first. The troops are to be sent out, and the benefit fee is also to be collected, but this is not because I Cao Cao is blind and doesn't know the truth that my lips are dead and my teeth are cold, but to appease the officers and soldiers in the army. After all, the Cao and Sun families used to be enemies, and they fought for many years, but now they suddenly want to be close to each other, and there must be a process. Right.

Cheng Yu and others all know that it is a matter of course to benefit from the benefits, and of course it would be better to think about the reasons more fully. Now the lord himself has given enough reasons to make those of them who are advisers a little blushing, this is a high salary, and he has not taken the initiative to work.

Everyone was about to speak, when suddenly a pro-soldier reported at the door: "My lord, there is a military report outside the city, and Hanzhong has won a great victory." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he immediately stood up and said hurriedly: "Spread quickly!" ”

After waiting for a while, a dusty captain was brought here, he first submitted the military report, and then under Cao Cao's inquiry, he told him everything about this war in detail.

The ministers were around, and they were thrilled to hear. If it weren't for Yu Wenze's careful and cautious work, it would have been difficult for this Han army to really hit the city of Nanzheng, and Hanzhong would be in danger at that time. Thankfully, I was lucky.

After Cao Cao listened, he ordered the left and right to take this captain down to rest, then turned around, looked at the ministers, and said in a deep voice: "Can't be delayed, Zhongde, you quickly negotiate with Lu Su, and then our side will quickly send troops." Otherwise, Jiangdong is really in danger. ”

looked at Guo Jia again and said, "Fengxiao, quickly send people to find out the virtual and real movements of the Han army!" ”

Finally, he said to the generals: "All passes are dangerous, take more precautions, train soldiers and horses, and do not slack off!" ”

Cao Chun was a little puzzled, didn't he win the battle, why was the lord still a little unhappy, and his face was solemn? Cao Chun was straightforward and could say whatever he wanted, so he asked: "Lord, General Yu's victory over the Han army is a good thing, why don't you reward the three armies, but arrange it like this?" ”

Cao Cao looked at this younger brother, his heart was still lacking in training, and he was brave and brave, and the overall situation was still a little worse. After thinking about it, he explained to him: "This time the Han army was defeated, and the two generals of Gao Gan and Guan Hai were folded in the army, how could Xuande be indifferent?" In order to boost the morale of the army, he must make some moves. It's not Koto, it's us. In view of the defeat in Hanzhong, I estimate that the Han army in Guanzhong will not act rashly for the time being, and Xuande has suffered such a big loss, how to do it if he does not vent his breath, in my opinion, Xuande will raise a large army to attack Jiangdong. In this way, if I delay and don't save it, Jiangdong is really in danger. If Jiangdong is defeated, I will lose an ally, and Yizhou will lose a barrier. ”

There is a saying that the person who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy. Cao Cao and Liu Bei knew each other, and they were friends and enemies. And both of them are princes of one side, and they can guess each other's thoughts, not to mention understanding each other's thoughts thoroughly.

When Cao Cao heard that Yu Ban had won the battle, he knew that Liu Bei was going to get angry. This fire can't burn in distant Yizhou for the time being, so Sun Ce can only be wronged. Cao Cao was not worried about Sun Ce, but he was worried that under Liu Bei's high pressure, there would be problems within Jiangdong. After all, Liu Bei held high the banner of justice and correctness, not to mention, but also strong soldiers. Under this sky, looking at it, except for himself and Sun Ce, who are determined to stand on their own, who would not surrender to Liu Bei?

After Cao Cao had finished teaching Cao Chun, he ordered everyone to disperse and work, and locked himself in his study and pondered. After a while, Cao Ang came in with a bowl of soup, and when he saw that his father was pondering, he gently placed the soup on the table, but he did not withdraw, but stood quietly on one side with his crossed hands.

After a while, perhaps it was the fragrance of the thick soup that attracted Cao Cao, Cao Cao's divergent eyes began to condense, he glanced at Cao Ang again, and said with a smile: "Zixiu is here." ”

For this eldest son, Cao Cao likes it very much. Cao Ang can be said to not look like Cao Cao at all, Cao Ang is tall and has handsome facial features. Compared to Cao Cao's appearance, it is much stronger. Of course, in terms of personality, he inherited his father Cao Cao's intelligence and fortitude, and under Cao Cao's careful cultivation, he was both civil and military, and his personality was also very humble and plain, without any bad habits of a gentleman.

For this future head of the Cao family, Cao Cao took it with him when he went out to fight, and when he came back to deal with government affairs, he was eager to teach everything he knew, and Cao Ang never lived up to his expectations. Whether it is leading troops or internal affairs, they have performed very well. Although Cao Cao didn't say it, he was secretly proud in his heart.

Cao Ang heard his father's words, so he hurriedly replied: "Mother sent the child to bring soup, so that father can pay attention to his body, don't be too tired." ”

Cao Ang's biological mother died early, but it was Mrs. Cao Cao's main room that brought it up. The mother here is Mrs. Ding. When Cao Cao heard this, he sighed in his heart, I don't want to rest, the situation is like this, what can I do.
