Yuan Shao asked Yuan Fang to bring a message to Cao Shuo, and he wanted to pass Hebei to him.

Listening to Yuan Fang's narration, Cao Shuo always had a faint smile on his face.

"Husband doesn't seem to be happy?" Yuan Fang asked, "Don't you want Hebei?" ”

"Yes, of course I want to." Cao Shuo said: "When you see your father-in-law tomorrow, please tell him, I already know my intentions, but Hebei is now in the hands of the third brother, don't say it's me, even the eldest brother may not be able to interfere." ”

"That's what the husband said." Yuan Fang replied: "But my father can give my husband a piece of paper." ”

"When will it be given?" Cao Shuo asked again.

"When the husband asks for it, the father will give it when he wants." Yuan Fang replied.

"Go to bed early." With a bigger smile, Cao Shuo said: "You are busy today, and you are also very hard. ”

"The husband is responsible for military affairs and government affairs, and he often has to worry about family affairs, so he really works." Yuan Fang leaned over and said, "I will wait for my husband to rest." ”

When Yuan Fang got up to personally serve Cao Shuo's wide clothes, Cao Shuo hugged her into his arms.

With his lips pressed to her ear, Cao Shuo asked in a low voice, "How long has it been since the moon?" ”

"Some days." Yuan Fang lowered her head and said, "If your husband is lucky, you should be able to get pregnant again." ”

"It's not that easy to get pregnant." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "But I'm holding back a lot, and it's easier to have it twice tonight than on other days." ”

hugged Yuan Fang, Cao Shuo asked, "Heng'er doesn't sleep with you every day?" ”

"He's being carried by a nurse." Being held in Cao Shuo's arms, Yuan Fang replied: "I don't take him to sleep with me." ”

"That's fine." Cao Shuo winked at her twice, not taking him to sleep, and not delaying the two of us to be a few younger brothers and sisters for him.

"After many days of not seeing my husband, I almost forgot the benefits of the conjugal ceremony." Hugging Cao Shuo's neck, Yuan Fang said, "Later, my husband will be lighter......

"Old husband and wife, where do you need to be lighter." Cao Shuo said: "If I don't use my strength, you will feel bored." ”

Yuan Fang didn't say anything more, just stared at Cao Shuo with an intoxicated smile.

Early the next morning, Yuan Fang went to greet Yuan Shao, and Cao Shuo went to the study.

Before entering the room, he instructed Cai Ji: "Call Tian Feng and Chen Gong." ”

About half an hour later, Cai Ji led Tian Feng and Chen Gong to come.

After entering the study and sitting down, Cao Shuo said: "I went to visit Yuan Gong yesterday, and his physical condition is not very good. ”

"Guandu and Cangting were defeated twice, and the Yuan family's anger has been exhausted." Tian Feng replied: "If Yuan Gong can still eat well and sleep well, it is really a strange thing." ”

"Childe didn't just call us over to say this." Chen Gong asked, "Is there something important?" ”

"My father-in-law plans to hand over Hebei to me." Cao Shuo said: "He asked my eldest lady to pass the word, saying that as long as I am willing, he will issue a document to let me worship Hebei." ”

"How much sincerity does Childe think he has?" Chen Gong asked.

Smiling slightly, Cao Shuo did not answer, but asked rhetorically: "How much sincerity does the public think he has?" ”

"Childe didn't answer, he should have seen the reason." Chen Gong said with a smile: "Yuan Shao is using a trick with his son!" ”

"He's using a trick, what can I do?" Cao Shuo pursed his lips: "You can't kill him." ”

"What are Childe's plans?" Tian Feng asked.

"Calling you two over is to discuss this matter." Cao Shuo said: "Yuan Gong gave the documents, if I really go to Hebei, Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will definitely think that Cai got the documents under my persecution." The brothers, who were originally gearing up to fight at any time, would definitely fight against our army together. Not only that, but my father was also jealous of me. If you get Qingzhou, you will take Liaodong in the future, these places are not painful or itchy for my father, and he will not take it very seriously. There is no difference between falling into my hands and falling into my father's hands. However, Hebei is the hinterland of the north, with a large population and abundant products in Jizhou, Yanzhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou and other places. The Cao family got those places, and the world has already gained half of it. If I take it, even my father has to think about whether I will be a master and overthrow him prematurely. ”

"What Childe is worried about is exactly what Yuan Shao wants." Chen Gong said: "Fortunately, Gongzi is smart and sees through his intentions, otherwise he will really cause a lot of trouble." ”

"I have led the army for several years, except for a loss under Jia Gong, I really haven't been calculated by anyone." Cao Shuo smiled and said: "Playing these strategies with me, isn't it Lu Ban getting a big axe in front of the door and finding the wrong place?" ”

"That's what Childe said." Tian Feng said: "Although I saw through his strategy, I couldn't help but respond. ”

"That's what I want to ask you both." Cao Shuo leaned forward slightly and asked the two of them, "What do you think I should do, so that not only can I not be calculated, but I can reap the benefits from it?" ”

"There will definitely be benefits, but I don't know what kind of benefits Childe wants?" Tian Feng asked.

"I want Qingzhou and Liaodong." Cao Shuo said: "There is also the Hetao. ”

"Hetao?" Tian Feng was stunned: "There is the territory of the Huns, when Emperor Ming broke the Huns, the Huns were divided into two steps, north and south. The Xiongnu in the north moved westward, and now they don't know where to go. The southern Xiongnu stayed in the Hetao and paid tribute to the Han court, and it has been two hundred years now......"

"Tribute?" The corners of Cao Shuo's mouth hooked up a shallow smile: "Will the Xiongnu still be called a minister now?" ”

Tian Feng and Chen Gong were both stunned, glanced at each other, and Chen Gong said: "Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Xiongnu have no longer called their ministers to pay tribute. ”

"Why don't you pay tribute anymore." Cao Shuo said: "At the beginning, Li Dao and Guo Yan caused trouble in Chang'an, and the Xiongnu left and right Xian kings also led troops into the Central Plains. ”

Cao Shuo stood up, walked to the window, looked at the courtyard outside the window, and said faintly: "Hunting wild besieges the city, and everything you want is ruined." Cut off and leave no traces, and the corpses resist each other. The head of the man is hung on the side of the horse, and the woman is carried behind the horse......"

"What the son reads, but Cai Yan, the daughter of Cai Yong?" Tian Feng asked.

Without turning around, Cao Shuo nodded: "After many years of fighting, it is our own family who kills and dies." The society is declining, the sky is gone, Hu Lu entered the Central Plains, and killed my Han head. As a woman, you can make such a "poem of grief and indignation", we wear tens of thousands of stubborn armor, shouldn't we let the Huns taste what it means to exterminate the race? ”

"What do you mean by Childe......" Tian Feng and Chen Gong asked almost at the same time.

"Once Hebei is settled, the good days of the Huns should come to an end." Cao Shuo clenched his fists and said: "They covet the Central Plains, and I also covet their abundant water and grass and fat war horses!" I'm not a good person, just one of the most obvious advantages, some things don't look good, just forget it, since I like it, I have to take it in my hands! ”
