A second โ of small โณ said ยง net.. Org], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
The days of preparing for war passed quickly.??
Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.
The cold winter came early, and the soldiers of the Cao army at the head of the city had already changed into thick winter clothes.
The air was covered with haze, and the lead-colored clouds were so low that they seemed to be reachable.
The gate of Xudu City was opened, and Cao Shuo accompanied Cao Cao to stand at the city gate.
The 2,000 Cao army led by Xiahoudun was marching out of the city in a long serpentine procession.
A cold thing touched his cheek.
Cao Shuo raised his face to look at the sky and stretched out his palm.
Several ice grains the size of coarse salt fell on the palm of his hand, bouncing a few times and gathering together.
"It's snowing!" Cao Shuo said.
"yes!" Cao Cao nodded: "This year's snow came early. โ
"It snowed in Wancheng last time!" Cao Shuo said: "I still remember the scene of escaping that day. โ
"Do you remember how your brother died?" Cao Cao asked.
Cao Shuo didn't say anything.
"Don't forget him!" Cao Cao said: "He and you are the same brother, every New Year's Day, don't forget to give him incense." โ
"Father, don't worry!" Cao Shuo said: "I won't forget! โ
"When are you going to come out?" Cao Cao asked.
"Tomorrow!" Cao Shuo said: "General Xiahou's vanguard will attract Zhang Xiu's attention, and I will lead my troops to avoid the eyes and ears of the enemy army and go directly behind the enemy." โ
"Once you go out, you have no reinforcements!" Cao Cao said: "Even if you are surrounded by enemy troops, you can only rely on yourself. โ
Cao Shuo smiled slightly: "On the battlefield, either we surround the enemy army, or the enemy army surrounds us, and we are afraid of being surrounded by the enemy, so there is no need to fight!" โ
"Sometimes I really don't know if you're arrogant or confident!" Cao Cao sighed and said, "You are really like me......"
"Every father is a hero to his son." Cao Shuo said: "I am very fortunate to be a descendant of the Cao family, because I have a father who is truly a hero!" โ
Cao Cao smiled slightly and patted his arm: "Our father and son still want to talk about these false things?" โ
"Father Mingjian, it's really not false." Cao Shuo said: "If it weren't for my father's bloodline, I wouldn't have achieved anything!" โ
"A few days ago, you came back from Jiangdong, and someone asked me to set an heir." Cao Cao said: "I didn't discuss with you at that time, and today I want to ask you, do you want to take over the Cao family in the future?" โ
"We'll talk about the future later." Cao Shuo said: "My father is at the age of great achievements, and it is not good for my father to set an heir at this time. The child thinks it's not time yet! โ
Cao Shuo said that, Cao Cao laughed: "I'll just say that my son is different, you really see things clearly!" โ
"There can only be one lord in a family, and only one king in a country." Cao Shuo said: "I don't think there is any benefit in deciding the heir too early! โ
"Actually, you and I both know that the Cao family will be yours sooner or later!" Cao Cao said: "I have so many sons, but none of them are better than you!" Zihuan and they are still young, no matter how old or talented, you are the heir! โ
Cao Shuo didn't speak again.
Being able to say this to him, Cao Cao has undoubtedly established his status as his heir.
Many times if you don't fight, you fight, and it is precisely because of this truth that Cao Shuo did not fight.
"The people I sent to Jiangdong sent back the news that the Sun family will send the young lady after the beginning of spring!" Cao Cao said: "There is also the Yuan family, I also sent someone to send the young lady through the door after the beginning of spring." โ
"Father believes in the Yuan family?" Cao Shuo asked.
"Yuan Benchu?" Cao Cao smiled: "He and I both know very well that Cao Yuan will have a battle after all." He's being pestered by Gongsun Chan now, and I'm dealing with Zhang Xiu......"
"It's not just Zhang Xiu!" Cao Shuo said: "The Cao family and the Yuan family competed for the Central Plains, and before that, they not only had to destroy Zhang Xiu, but also pacified Yuan Shu and marched to Hedong to exterminate Zhang Yang......"
"I don't think Lu Bu can stay!" Cao Cao said: "Xuzhou is too close to Yuzhou, if you don't destroy Lu Bu, I can't sleep well!" โ
"What do you think of Lu Bu's character?" Cao Cao asked.
"To be honest, I don't want to be an enemy of Lu Bu!" Cao Shuo said: "He is a real bloody man!" โ
"But he is a slave with three surnames!" Cao Cao said: "First vote for Ding Yuan and then vote for Dong Zhuo, and then drive away Liu Xuande to occupy Xuzhou!" โ
"So what?" Cao Shuo said: "Ding Yuan coveted Mrs. Lu's beauty with bad intentions, Dong Zhuo snatched Mrs. Lu into the room and tried to insult him, even a man would not follow them again. On the contrary, I think people like Liu Bei should be killed! โ
Looking at Cao Shuo, Cao Cao smiled and said, "I know that you have always disliked Xuande, and you have long had the intention of killing him!" โ
"Father Mingjian, Liu Bei is the hero of the world, although he seems to be polite and polite, he does everything he can!" Cao Shuo said: "Every time there is a crisis, he will give up his family, this person is willing to do anything in order to survive, and he can do anything." People like this are the ones who are really dangerous! โ
"Liu Xuande has no way out to vote for me." Cao Cao said: "Without my permission, you are not allowed to touch him!" โ
Once again, Cao Cao was persuaded to kill Liu Bei to no avail, and Cao Shuo could only say no more.
The 2,000 Cao troops led by Xiahoudun have all left the city.
Looking at the departing team, Cao Cao said: "Go and meet your mother, our army is crusading against Zhang Xiu, and we should let her know." โ
"The boy is going to see his mother!" Cao Shuo saluted.
Walking down the city wall, Cao Shuo returned to Cao's house and walked straight to Ding Yao's residence.
To go to Ding Yao's residence, you have to pass through Mrs. Bian.
"Second brother!" Cao Shuo was walking, and Cao Pi ran out of the small courtyard.
"Zihuan!" Seeing Cao Pi, Cao Shuo grinned.
Cao Pi hurriedly said: "Back to the second brother's words, the bird's beard is already very thick, if the second brother wants to see it, I will take it out!" โ
Originally, I really wanted to ask Cao Pi how much the bird's beard had grown, but what Cao Shuo didn't expect was that Cao Pi didn't wait for him to ask, and said it first.
In this way, it is not good for him to ask Cao Pi to take out the bird!
"How old a child, why don't you even have a face?" Cao Shuo straightened his face and pretended to be serious and said: "I took out the bird on a cold day, in case it was frozen, how should I answer when my mother asks me?" โ
was reprimanded by Cao Shuo, Cao Pi not only did not get angry, but asked with a smile: "Is the second brother going to go on the expedition again?" โ
"How do you know?" Cao Shuo asked.
"General Xiahoudun led his troops out of Xudu, and even the children on the road knew about it." Cao Pi asked, "Second brother, can you bring me with you on this expedition?" โ
Looking at Cao Pi, Cao Shuo smiled and said, "You can bring it, wait for another two years!" โ
"I've grown up, and I want to follow my second brother to make a career!" Cao Pi said: "Please also ask the second brother to take me to the battlefield to kill the enemy!" โ
