Maintaining a bowing posture, Cao Shuo said humbly: "What did my father-in-law say, I am my father-in-law's son-in-law, how dare I humiliate my elder?" ”

"On the battlefield, I was beaten very badly." Yuan Shao finally turned around and stared at Cao Shuo, and he asked, "What are you going to do with me?" ”

"I want to ask my father-in-law to return to his life and spring to take care of his old age." Cao Shuo replied.

"Retirement?" Yuan Shao smiled coldly: "In other words, you want to take Hebei away from our Yuan family?" ”

"Even if I don't take it, does my father-in-law think that Hebei can still be saved?" Cao Shuo raised his head and looked at Yuan Shao and said, "Father always thinks that the Yuan family in Hebei is a big problem. If you want to achieve great things, the Yuan family must attack and destroy first. ”

Yuan Shao's face was very ugly.

He let out a long sigh and walked to the window.

"Father-in-law." Looking at his back, Cao Shuo said: "Success or failure in the world, after defeat, you will not lose your bearing, you are the real hero." ”

Looking at the night outside the window, Yuan Shao smiled bitterly: "Don't lose your bearing, now that Hebei is no longer in my hands, and I have become your prisoner, where will there be any bearing?" ”

"In my opinion, my father-in-law is still the hero who exterminated Gongsun Zan in Hebei back then." Cao Shuo said: "Success or failure has its own providence, and I ask my father-in-law to look at it." ”

"When it comes to Shouchun, if Cao Mengde asks you for someone, what will you do?" Still looking out the window, Yuan Shao asked.

"My father won't ask me for my father-in-law, and even if I do, I won't send my father-in-law to Xudu." Cao Shuo said: "In Shouchun, my father-in-law is my lord at all times, and these people under me must also serve my father-in-law with the gift of respect. But when I arrived in Xudu, I couldn't control the people under my father. ”

"With your words, I am also relieved." Yuan Shao turned around, looked at Cao Shuo and said, "I didn't expect that I married Fang'er to you at the beginning, but now I have saved my life." ”

"It's not early, please ask my father-in-law to rest early." Cao Shuo bowed and saluted, and left.

Chen Zhi followed him, left Yuan Shao's residence, and asked him in a low voice: "Gongzi captured Yuan Gong, what should I do if Ju Yi and the others are not convinced?" ”

"I've thought of it a long time ago." Cao Shuo said: "Most of the people who have come over from the Yuan family will not think about putting their father-in-law to death, but Ju Yi and his father-in-law have a grudge. I figured he'd come to me later. ”

"How is Childe going to convince him?" Chen Zhi asked.

"Convince him, of course, there are reasons to convince." Cao Shuo smiled slightly, and said to Chen Zhi: "You go back and rest first, you have worked hard to chase your father-in-law for several days." ”

"I'll quit first!" Recently, he has been running around these days, and Chen Zhi really feels a little tired, so he didn't shirk and bowed to Cao Shuo and retreated.

After Ju Yi left, Cao Shuo also walked towards his residence.

Not far from his residence, he saw Cai Ji running towards him.

"What are you doing in a panic?" Seeing that Cai Ji was running a little flustered, Cao Shuo asked.

"Childe is back." Cai Ji said: "General Ju came here for a while, and when he heard that Gongzi was not there, he almost beat up several guards. ”

"And that kind of thing?" Cao Shuo grinned and asked Cai Ji, "Where is he?" ”

"Just wait at the door." Cai Ji said: "We can't get him, but he doesn't dare to break into Childe's room." ”

"If you don't calm him down today, you may not dare in the future." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Come with me and learn more!" ”

Cai Ji responded and followed behind Cao Shuo.

When he was about to reach the door, Cao Shuo saw Ju Yi standing there.

At the same time that he saw Ju Yi, Ju Yi also saw him.

Walking over to Cao Shuo, Ju Yi made a big salute and greeted: "Childe is back." ”

"General Ju came here so late, is there something important to look for me?" Cao Shuo asked pretending not to know.

"I'm here to see Childe, but there's one thing I want to ask." Ju Yi said: "May I ask Gongzi, since you have captured Yuan Benchu, when will you kill him to show the public?" ”

"Kill? Why kill? Cao Shuo pretended to be stunned and asked.

"Yuan Benchu entrenched in Hebei and the Cao family as enemies, Guandu and Cangting two battles, how many soldiers died on the battlefield?" Ju Yi said: "If you don't kill him, I'm afraid you won't be able to give an explanation to the soldiers who died in battle." ”

"General Ju wants to kill him, I'm afraid it's not this reason." Cao Shuo walked to the door and said to Ju Yi, "The general still talks to me in the house." ”

Following Cao Shuo into the room, Ju Yi stood up and asked again, "Isn't Gongzi planning to kill Yuan Benchu?" ”

"He's my father-in-law, how could I kill him?" Cao Shuo turned around, faced Ju Yi, and asked with a solemn expression: "I only have one sentence to ask the general, what did the general value when he was willing to follow me?" ”

Cao Shuo made it clear that he would not kill Yuan Shao, and Ju Yi suddenly felt very lost.

When asked why he was willing to follow him, Ju Yi said: "For me, Gongzi did not hesitate to use manpower and material resources to rescue me from Hebei. ”

"What the general said is just appearances." Cao Shuo said: "I think the general follows me, seeking not only meritorious service, but also stability. ”

Looking at Cao Shuo, Ju Yi's face showed doubts.

Cao Shuo continued: "I actually have a lot of advantages, if I count the advantages, I really don't know where to start for a while." But there is one advantage that is most obvious, I preach morality! ”

Ju Yi looked at Cao Shuo, but still didn't say anything.

But he already felt that Cao Shuo was explaining to him the reason why he didn't kill Yuan Shao.

"The generals and advisers who follow me have always been treated like my own brothers." Cao Shuo asked: "General Ju has been by my side for a long time, when did you see me kill my own family?" ”

Ju Yi was stunned by the question.

Since following Cao Shuo, I really haven't seen anything he does to his own general.

Not only that, Cao Shuo even has a special calf protection.

When the soldiers under his command had disputes with others, as long as they did not violate military discipline, he stood on the side of his soldiers almost without asking any questions......

"Yuan Gong is my father-in-law after all." Cao Shuo sighed and said, "If it was General Ju and had a dispute with his father-in-law, would he kill him?" ”

"But......" Ju Yi was asked, not knowing how to respond.

"At the beginning, he was a hero in Hebei Province, and he held the power of life and death." Cao Shuo said: "General Ju was almost killed by his father-in-law, and Feng Ji and others were also hindered from it. Feng Ji has been killed by Shu Zhi, which can be regarded as a bad breath to the general. As for my father-in-law, I also asked the general to allow me to do my filial piety. ”

Cao Shuo said, bowing to Ju Yi.

How dare Ju Yi accept his big gift, he hurriedly bowed and replied: "What Gongzi said is reasonable, I was wrong!" ”

"If only the general could understand!" Cao Shuo stepped forward to hold Ju Yi's hands, stared into his eyes and said, "Please also ask the general to work with me from now on, the world is still in chaos, and there are still many things we have to do." ”
