Returning to Shouchun from Youzhou requires passing through Qingzhou and Xuzhou.

Guo Jia doesn't have to walk that far away from going to Yecheng.

Cao Shu led a large army to Qingzhou, while Guo Jia led his guards to Yecheng.

Not long after, he returned to Yecheng.

Cao Cao did not meet him in the front hall, but asked Xu Chu to invite him to the study room in the backyard.

After entering the room, Guo Jia found that there was no one else here except Cao Cao.

"I've met Mr. Cao." Guo Jia bowed.

Cao Cao asked, "Have Fengxiao returned?"

"I'm back." Guo Jia said: "I should have come back a few days ago, but it was too late because the young master kept me in Yuyang for a few days."

"Have he invited you to Shouchun?" Cao Cao asked casually.

Guo Jia replied: "Young Master mentioned it casually. I said I wanted to come back and report to Mr. Cao, so he didn't say much."

"It's rare that Zirong is understanding." Cao Cao smiled slightly: "Actually, I really want to send someone to Shouchun. Since he invites Fengxiao, you might as well go there."

"I'll go?" Guo Jia asked in surprise.

"Who else can you do?" Cao Cao said: "Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang fled to Wuhuan. I was planning to lead my army to fight north. Now I am digging a canal to prepare for the future delivery of food and grass. Taking advantage of the fact that there is nothing important recently, it is the most appropriate for you to go to Shouchun."

"Actually, I want to recommend Xun Wenruo to go." Guo Jia said: "He is a steady person and has no bias between the two young masters. Let him go to Shouchun and bring back the message to Cao Gong more reliable."

"Can you go to Shouchun when Fengxiao goes to Shouchun? The information you brought back is unreliable?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"That's not." Guo Jia said: "After all, my girl married the eldest son. Even if I brought back the news about Shouchun, I'm afraid Mr. Cao would not believe it."

Cao Cao smiled indifferently and asked Guo Jia: "Do you think Xun Wenruo can go?"

"I think it's OK," Guo Jia replied.

"If you can't go, he can't." Cao Cao said: "Xun Wenruo's fourth brother Xun Youruo is under Zirong's command. When he arrived in Shouchun, Zirong would just let his fourth brother be responsible for the reception. Isn't it Zirong said whatever he said?"

Cao Cao's words stunned Guo Jia.

He looked at Cao Cao in shock and asked, "Don't Cao believe in the young master anymore?"

"It's not that I don't believe him." Cao Cao said: "It's just that Zirong has a good relationship with you people. Even Xu Zhongkang, who is around me, is recommended by him. Tell me, who is the right person to send to Shouchun?"

Cao Cao's words undoubtedly meant that they all had a close relationship with Cao Shuo.

Guo Jia hurriedly said, "Cao Gong Mingjian, although I marry my sister to the eldest son, I care about Cao Gong..."

"Zirong is my son, and it's nothing if you get close to him." Cao Cao waved his hand and said, "Anyway, I can't find a suitable person. It's better to let you go there. No matter what you say, I believe it."

"Since Mr. Cao appointed me, I have to let it go." Guo Jia responded.

"Zi Rong brought Cao Zhang to Shouchun earlier and said he wanted to ask someone to teach him martial arts." Cao Cao said, "You go and see how Cao Zhang is learning now."

"Abide by Mr. Cao's instructions." Guo Jia responded.

It took Cao Shuo more than ten days after Guo Jia returned to Yecheng.

After entering Shouchun City, Chen Gong brought a group of officials to greet him.

"Congratulations to the young master for his victory." When he arrived in front of Cao Shu, Chen Gong bowed and gave a big gift.

In front of the officials, Cao Shu raised his hand and said, "There is no need to be too polite to the public office, just a small victory."

Chen Gong replied: "The young master occupied Youzhou and Tian Yuanhao has become the governor of Youzhou. How could this be a small victory? If there are more such small victory, unification of the world is just around the corner."

With a slight smile, Cao Shu raised his hand and said to Chen Gong: "Let's talk about it when you go back."

Return to Shouchun with Cao Shuo.

The army returned to the barracks and Chen Gong accompanied Cao Shu to his residence.

"Let's go away first." Cao Shu ordered behind him: "The office accompanied me to the study room for a lecture."

"Young Master is not planning to convene the court meeting?" Chen Gong asked.

"I just came back from outside and felt very exhausted." Cao Shuo said: "The court will discuss it later."

Chen Gong turned around and told everyone: "You all retreat."

Everyone responded and retreated.

After returning to the study and sitting down, Cao Shu asked Chen Gong: "Does the Gongtai think that my attack on Youzhou will be a complete victory?"

"In fact, it can be considered a great victory." Chen Gong said: "The only drawback in the beauty is Liaodong."

"I originally planned to attack Liaodong, but my father asked Guo Fengxiao to go and pass the order, so he had to retreat to Shouchun." Cao Shu said: "It's a pity to think about it."

"It's a pity." Chen Gong said: "With Liaodong's military strength, it is impossible to resist the young master. Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were defeated recently, and Wuhuan suffered a big loss and did not dare to fight the young master easily. It is the most timely time to capture Liaodong at this time."

"It's better not to fight Liaodong." Cao Shu said: "On the way back, I thought of a lot of things and wrote them one by one. I wrote a summary of the specific operation."

He took out a roll of silk from his arms and handed it to Chen Gong and said, "You can take a look at the office."

After taking the silk, Chen Gong expanded it and browsed it.

After reading the content recorded on the silk, Chen Gong was stunned and asked Cao Shu: "What the young master said requires a lot of use of women. If a woman participates in too many local affairs..."

"What's wrong?" Cao Shuo said: "Women are also human beings. If we are defeated, they will also have to bear the killing and bullying of the enemy. If the local government wants to be strong, they must mobilize everyone. We must not only let women participate in local affairs, but also let them play a very important role in the local area. After all, when they are mixed in, we can free up more strong labor and engage in things that only men can do."

"What the young master said makes sense." Chen Gong said: "It's just that women are doing things outside, and they always feel..."

In the feudal dynasty that had been more than two thousand years, the real strict imprisonment of women began with the Song Dynasty's misinterpretation of Confucius' Confucianism.

Before the Song Dynasty, although women were sent as gifts or goods, their confinement was not so strict.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, it was common for women to show up outside, but they were all doing jobs that were so simple that they could not be simpler.

Cao Shu came back this time to subvert everything in the past and leave many things to women.

Especially some newly opened institutions seem to be specially established for women.

I had known that Chen Gong would have doubts for a long time, and Cao Shu smiled and said, "I am very clear about what the public station is thinking. There is only one thing I can say, that is, we need more labor. Although women are not as strong as men, they can do things within their ability."
