Chapter 202
From Cao Shu leading his troops to leave Xudu, until he defeated the Jingzhou army, burned Wancheng and returned to Xudu, he had not arrived for even a month.
Cao Shu's troops were only more than thirty miles away from Xu, and they would be able to reach them in a few more hours.
In Xudu City, the Cao family's back house.
Cao Cao and Ding Yao walked side by side.
"Zirong is coming back." Cao Cao said: "This time he defeated the Jingzhou army and set fire in Wancheng. Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao are going to calm down for some time."
"Husband." Ding Yao said, "I have a heartless request."
"explain!"
"Can you let Zi Rong go out a few times?" Ding Yao said: "Without Zi Xiu, fortunately Zi Rong is with him, if he is..."
"Zihuan and the others are still young. Which one can I use my son besides Zirong?" Cao Cao said: "If you don't let him go out, what do you think? Women, don't interfere in too much government affairs."
"I didn't interfere in government affairs." Ding Yao said: "I just feel sorry for my son..."
Holding Ding Yao's shoulder, Cao Cao said, "I know Zixiu died in battle, and you have always hated me. Fortunately, Zirong mediated from it, so you and my husband were unable to separate."
Ding Yao didn't say anything.
After Cao Ang died in battle, she really never thought about going back to Cao's house.
If it weren't for Cao Shu's guidance, she and Cao Cao would probably have no husband and wife status in their lives.
"My husband is lofty ambitions, and I am not an unreasonable person." Ding Yao said: "Zirong can go to war, but this year..."
"Do you think I'm willing?" Cao Cao said: "The army was defeated in Wancheng for a short time, and the soldiers were exhausted. The rebel Yuan Shu became emperor and has recently won over Lu Bu. Liu Biao from Jingzhou has always coveted the Cao family. If these people are not eliminated, how can I live in peace? Who else can I let go besides Zirong?"
"Do you want it even..." Ding Yao was stunned.
"He will go back to Xudu, and he will go to Xuzhou again in a few days." Cao Cao said: "If anyone goes, he will be more convinced by him!"
"The slaves from the three surnames of Lu Bu are capricious." Ding Yao said: "He first betrayed Ding Jianyang and joined Dong Zhuo, and then killed Dong Zhuo and defected to Wang Yun. Zirong went to see such a person..."
"It is precisely because of Lu Bu's capriciousness that I want Zi Hui to go." Cao Cao said: "This is how I seem to be sincere!"
"What should Zirong do if my husband is sincere?" Ding Yao said: "This child is also stubborn. Last time I asked why he asked him to go to war again, but he said that as a Cao family, he would not share his father's worries, who else can treat the Cao family sincerely..."
Ding Yao said, her eyes were already red.
Cao Cao hugged her tightly: "Wait for Zirong to come back from Xuzhou, I will let him accompany you out for a walk, how about it?"
"I don't want to go anywhere..." Ding Yao said leisurely.
"I know what you want." Cao Cao said: "But Zirong has grown up and he cannot always be protected by you in your arms. If he is a wolf, you can just let him hunt prey on his own; if he is an eagle, you should let him fly."
"But he is not a wolf, nor an eagle, he is my son!" Ding Yao said, sobbing again.
Cao Cao sighed and said to her: "Women's character, take care of your back home!"
Cao Cao turned around and left.
Ding Yao was still standing there.
Although she received the news that Cao Shuo had won the triumph, she couldn't be happy at all.
Cao Shu can kill people today, and others can kill him tomorrow...
Having lost one son, how could she be willing to watch another son disappear from her life?
When Cao Shu returned to Xudu, Cao Cao certainly would not greet him in person.
But when he entered the city, he found Xun Yu and his staff were waiting.
When everyone saw Cao Shuo, they bowed and said, "Congratulations to the young master for his triumphant return."
"Thank you, all the masters!" Cao Shuo dismounted and returned the gift.
"Mr. Cao has been waiting for the young master for a long time." Xun Yu stepped forward and said.
"It's not a big deal for me to come back." Cao Shuo said to Xun Yu: "I still have to come to greet you in person, I'm really frightened!"
"After the young master fought against Dingwan City, the generals have long regarded the young master as a god." Xun Yu smiled and said, "How dare I neglect those who even the generals admire?"
Xiahou Dun and others who followed Xun Yu to greet him all agreed.
After saying a few more humble words to everyone, Cao Shuo ordered Cai Ji: "Please settle Miss Jia in my residence."
Cai Ji responded.
Cao Shu's troops also followed Sima Yi and others back to the military camp.
Only Wei Tu and a few guards followed him.
"Young Master just said Miss Jia?" Xun Yu asked, "I wonder which Miss Jia is it?"
"I went to Wancheng, but I couldn't go home empty-handed." Cao Shu said: "There is nothing to bring there, so I kidnapped Jia Xu's daughter."
Xun Yu was stunned and looked at the staff beside him.
Xun You said: "Young Master kidnapped Jia Xu's daughter, I don't know how to settle it?"
"I have already taken it into the room." Cao Shuo said: "She may have all of them now..."
Everyone looked confused.
Guo Jia smiled slightly, bowed to Cao Shu and said, "Young Master Zhiluo is very good, I admire you!"
"Honor took over Jia Xu's daughter, did he use a trick?" An aide who followed Guo Jia asked in surprise.
Guo Jia said: "Don't you see that? Zhang Xiu relies on Jia Xu, and the young master took over his daughter. Now Jia Xu and Cao Gong are also relatives. If Zhang Xiu uses Jia Xu in the future, will he not be afraid of the mouse?"
Everyone suddenly realized.
Cao Shu was covered in black lines.
Guo Jia is indeed a genius, so he is too good at explaining!
He and Jia Xu had already made an agreement to accept Jia Pei because she was beautiful and smart, and she was unable to control the second half for a while.
But after Guo Jia said that simple man’s needs were described as unfathomable…
"It's still Mr. Guo who understands me." Guo Jia intends to praise him. With Cao Shu's character, how could he not climb up the rod: "I kidnapped Jia Xu's daughter for this reason. Although I moved all the merchants to Xudu and set fire to Zhang Xiu, after all, there are other cities, and the threat to the Cao family has far from being lifted. Zhang Xiu will no longer be afraid of him and Jia Xu!"
"Young Master is such a god!" An aide gave a thumbs up and said, "You can even imagine such a seamless plan! It really convinces us."
"You're welcome! You're welcome!" Cao Shu grinned and said, "I just thought of this idea because I had a sudden idea, and I didn't have any plans in advance!"
"A single idea can do this. Who else in the world can do this?" Another aide said flatteringly: "Without a young man in the Cao family, why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"
