Cao Shu said it was like a wood. Cao Heng almost laughed out loud when he heard Ding Yao say that to his father.

Fortunately, he finally held it back.

Even so, Cao Shu was discovered.

Cao Shuo glared at him.

Before he could take back his eyes, he was scolded by Ding Yao: "What are you doing when you stare at him? I said Heng'er, you are filial, are you wrong?"

"Mother is not wrong, everything is right." Cao Shuo quickly responded.

"I'm right when I talk, but I don't know what I'm thinking." Ding Yao said, "I know what you are doing here. I'll eat here later. You and my father will go out to talk later. I don't want to listen to your messy things anymore, and I'm so upset."

"There is something that my mother really has to be tortured." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "I have been to Huang General Huang's house earlier for the wedding and met their ladies. I am so smart in life and have a good temper. I wonder if I should let Henger meet her. If the two children think it's good, I'll get their marriage done as soon as possible."

"This is good." When I heard that I wanted to organize a marriage for Cao Heng, Ding Yao said: "You have done a lot of things over the years, but no one has ever done as well as this one. What you said is right. Since the two children have made a marriage, it is better to invite General Huang's lady tomorrow and let me meet a lovely person who even you say is dignified."

Ding Yao then asked, "When it comes to General Huang, he must be over 90 now, right? I'm quite puzzled. How could he have a few good children at such an old age? I have to ask him carefully if I see you tomorrow."

"Mother can't see General Huang." Ding Yao didn't even know that Huang Zhong had passed away. Cao Shu said in a bleak tone: "General Huang had passed away when he was in the Southern Barbarians."

"Ah?" Ding Yao was stunned for a moment, and asked Cao Shu with concern: "How did General Huang be buried?"

"I asked someone to send his body back to Shouchun. Didn't my mother hear any noise?" Cao Shu said: "In theory, General Huang should inform his mother when he held the funeral."

"No one told me at all, I didn't even get any noise." Ding Yao said: "General Huang's funeral seemed to be handled so quietly, I'm afraid that few people in Shouchun City knew about it."

"Tomorrow I will ask his wife how to hold General Huang's funeral so easily." Ding Yao didn't know that Huang Zhong had passed away, and Cao Shu suddenly became dissatisfied with Cai Yan's actions.

"When asking, it's tactful, orphans and widows, don't scare others." Cao Shu asked Cai Yan about how to handle Huang Zhong's funeral, but Ding Yao was worried about Cai Yan.

"Mrs. Huang is also the widow of General Huang, of course I won't make things too difficult for her." Cao Shuo said: "Don't worry, my mother, I know how to tell her."

"You can understand." Ding Yao nodded, then asked Cao Shuo: "When are you planning to get the marriage for your two children?"

"The sooner the better." Cao Shu said: "In addition to getting married for them, I also plan to enthrone Heng'er an official position. In the future, he will lead troops to fight. Even without my order, he can still allocate a large army, so that he will not attack the alien races and cannot even mobilize his troops."

Cao Shu said that he wanted to enthrone Cao Heng's official position, but Ding Yao's heart was actually very complicated.

She has already heard of the battle report that her grandson fought at Yanmen Pass and defeated more than 100,000 Jie people.

While feeling happy about Cao Heng's growth, Ding Yao was also worried.

In war, it is not just about killing the enemy on your own side, but also the enemy will kill the people of the Great Wei.

The swords and swords on the battlefield will not deliberately avoid Cao Heng because he is the eldest son of the Great Wei Dynasty. If Cao Heng has three long and two shorts...

Ding Yao didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She said to Cao Shuo, "Okay, except for Heng'er's marriage, you don't need to tell me anything else. You guys don't go out to talk to you, and I won't bother you. It's just that Heng'er's official position, you're considering it. I heard that he has made a lot of military achievements at Yanmen Pass this time. As a father, you must remember to be a virtuous person and not avoid relatives."

"I understand what my mother means." Cao Shuo responded, and then said to Cao Heng: "You won't kowtow to your grandmother, go with me to the study?"

Cao Heng quickly got up, came to Ding Yao and knelt down: "The grandson will take his leave first."

"Go." Ding Yao smiled lovingly and waved her hand: "If you are your father bullying you, turn around and tell grandma. Grandma will give him good looks."

"My grandson remembers it." Cao Heng responded, stood up and retreated with Cao Shu.

After leaving Ding Yao's residence, Cao Shu did not take Cao Heng directly to his study.

The two of them walked along the bluestone path, and Cao Shu asked him, "When the battle of Yanmen Pass, what do you think of Jie people?"

"It's extremely brave, but has no brains." Cao Heng replied: "If we encounter Jie people on the battlefield, our soldiers may not be able to gain benefits. If we use a little strategy, we will be able to take advantage of one hundred."

"Don't underestimate the Jie people." Cao Shuo said: "Like the Huns, they are all ethnic groups that are good at fighting on horseback. Our soldiers and horses are insufficient, and the number of cavalry is not as good as them. They are moving quickly, and they are much worse."

Accompanying Cao Shu, Cao Heng did not interrupt and just nodded constantly.

Cao Shu led his troops for many years and had fought with foreign races many times. Both the Huns and the Jie people had suffered losses under him.

His understanding of Jie people is of course more than Cao Heng.

"I heard that you planned to lead the 5,000 permanent troops from Youzhou to attack the Jie people a few days ago. Is this happening?" Cao Shuo suddenly asked Cao Heng.

Cao Heng replied: "Father, I have a clear understanding that the Jie people are harassing the people of Yanmen Pass, causing endless suffering to the people. I also want the Jie people to know that the Great Wei is not the place they want to come. There are too few permanent troops in Youzhou, and I cannot allocate troops from the surrounding states. Being able to lead 5,000 people to pursue the Jie people is already the plan with the largest number of troops."

"If I give you a 100,000 army, can you destroy the Jie people?" Cao Shu did not respond to his words, but suddenly asked this question.

Shocked by Cao Shu's question, Cao Heng asked in disbelief: "What my father means..."

"Is my meaning unclear?" Cao Shu said: "The trouble caused by the Jie people to the original is far greater than that of other alien races. I can tolerate other alien races, and I can also make them eventually become original people through fusion. But I don't have such plans for the Jie people, because the Jie people cannot tame them, and they cannot let us tame them. The original people are no different from domestic animals for them. Once there is no food, they will plunder the original people to their territory and harm them. After so many years, I can't calculate how many original people died at the hands of the Jie people."

"Since my father knows that the Jie people are cruel, why should I call me back?" Cao Heng asked in confusion: "Don't my father want to completely erase the Jie people? I can lead the troops out of the customs one day earlier, and the Jie people can be erased from this world one day earlier. My father recalled me, but I don't know which year or month I can attack the Jie people again."

"With the five thousand permanent troops in Youzhou, do you think you can defeat the Jie people?" Cao Shu asked him.

"I want to try it for it no matter whether I can defeat me or not." Cao Heng replied: "When I came back, the people of Yanmen Pass sent two big trucks of eggs. My father also knew how long it took for the people to accumulate eggs to have two trucks. They gave all their money, and I couldn't say nothing without saying anything? So I want to ask my father to allow me to lead my troops out of the seclusion again and attack the Jie people."

"Of course I will allow you to attack the Jie people." Cao Shu said to him: "I not only want you to attack, but also want you to completely destroy the Jie people, no matter men, women, young and old, we will not leave them even a little way out. All I want is the Jie people disappear from this world."

Cao Shu hadn't seen Cao Heng for several years. Cao Heng, who has always regarded him as his idol, was silent for a moment after hearing these words, and then said to Cao Shu: "Don't worry, Father, once I open Yanmen Pass, I will definitely kill all the Jie people, men, women, young and old, and I will never let half of the Jie people stay in the world."

Cao Shu nodded: "You are my son, of course I can trust you. If you come to the front hall tomorrow morning, I will announce your appointment there. From now on, you will be the general of the Great Wei Dynasty and you will not do anything arbitrarily. In all things, you must obey the advice of everyone under your subordinates. Especially those who follow your aides, they are all smart people. Turn their wisdom into yours, and then use these transformed abilities on the battlefield. You are the latest war god in our Great Wei Dynasty."

"Father is the undefeated myth of the Great Wei Dynasty, of course I will not be left behind too much." Cao Heng replied: "If I did something wrong, please give me more advice."

"You are my son. If I don't mention you, who else can I mention?" Cao Shu gently patted his shoulder: "The battle at Yanmen Pass is just the first battle in your life. In the future, you will encounter more battles, many of them even want the battle at Yanmen Pass to be cruel. Don't be complacent because of a small victory. Otherwise, when you really face a big battle in the future, you will find that the earlier victory is actually not worth mentioning to you."

"I have recorded all my father's teachings." Cao Heng responded very respectfully to what Cao Shu said.

"It's getting late, go back and rest." Cao Shu waved his hand: "Come to the front hall early tomorrow morning, and I will announce your enthronement."

"Father." Cao Heng did not leave, but said to Cao Shu: "I have one more thing, I hope my father can agree."

"You said." Cao Shu asked him to continue.

Cao Heng replied: "I want to ask my father to transfer my third and fourth uncles to my command. With them here, I will always be a little scruple in doing things, and I will not be willful."

Looking at him in surprise, Cao Shu asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Cao Shu was surprised because he knew the mood of being a leader.

Anyone who leads troops to fight does not want to have people around him who can control himself.

After all, it is best to do the decision on the battlefield by one person. If someone jumps out to oppose everything, the general will definitely be very irritable.

Cao Zhang and Cao Zhi can indeed help Cao Heng a lot, but they are Cao Heng's uncles after all.

In front of them, Cao Heng should not be too laissez-faire, and he would be more scrupulous in leading the army to fight.

"I'm very sure I'm going to do this." Cao Heng responded immediately.

"I'll think about these things." Cao Shu said: "You go back first, and after I figure it out, you will make corresponding arrangements."

Cao Shu did not give the answer immediately. Although Cao Heng felt a little disappointed, he did not dare to continue asking questions.

He thanked Cao Shuo: "I respectfully send my father to you."

************************************************

Cao Shu did not take Cao Heng to the study, and the father and son just walked in the back garden for a while and agreed on what they should have to discuss.

When he arrived at Zhen Mi's residence, Zhen Mi was still waiting for him.

"My husband went to greet my mother, it took a long time to go there." Zhen Mi bowed and said.

"Heng'er and I have come out of our mother a long time ago." Cao Shu replied: "I just talked to Heng'er about something, and I found that some of his thoughts really make people confused."

"Where did Heng'er do that make your husband feel dissatisfied?" Zhen Mi asked him.

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's just that I'm confused." Cao Shu said: "He wants me to transfer both Zi and Zijian to him. I really don't understand this."

"Husband doesn't think of what can you understand?" Zhen Mi asked.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Cao Shu said: "Heng'er wants to lead troops and also wants to completely destroy the Jie people. With such thoughts, he should hope that no one around him can control it. But he just proposed to ask Zi and Zijian to go to war with him. Zi and Zijian are both his uncles, and with them, the two of them will definitely make him feel a lot of constraints. After all, many decisions, as long as the two oppose it, Heng'er will be in a dilemma."

"What are your plans?" Zhen Mi asked again.

"I think Zi and Zijian should get the fiefdom, and each will cover the back and be their Xiaoyao King." Cao Shu said: "Putting the north and let Heng'er do it. He has ambitions and has been recognized by me before at Yanmen Pass. It is time to let him fly completely, instead of protecting him under his wings, which makes him hindered by all aspects."

"Your husband thinks so, then you can do it like this." Zhen Mi replied: "I said a long time ago that Henger is very similar to his husband. Not only does he have a very similar temperament to his husband, but he also has many similarities in his behavior and ambitions."

"If he really can be like me, the Great Wei would be worry-free." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Zhen Mi: "Actually, you don't have to just say good things to him. I know what kind of child he is. Although I haven't seen it much in recent years, when I got the report on the battle at Yanmen Pass, I felt that many details of the battle were similar to my military use."

"Heng'er's military use is 70 to 80% similar to his husband, which is also the result of his admiration for his husband." Zhen Mi said: "I remember asking Heng'er before, if he was asked to choose what kind of person he would choose in the future, which one would he choose? His answer to me was that he would be the same person as his father."

"Boy is quite ambitious." Cao Shuo smiled and nodded. He said to Zhen Mi: "Madam, it's not early, so let's take a break sooner. I'll have to discuss it tomorrow morning. I'll have to linger with my wife for a few more times tonight, I'm afraid it's already dawn."

"I am already an old husband and wife, but my husband is still not serious." Zhen Mi smiled softly and said to Cao Shu: "I will serve my husband to change his clothes."

That night, Cao Shu stayed at Zhen Mi's residence.

I don’t know how many times he had been lingering with Zhen Mi at night. Zhen Mi’s maid and nearby guards only knew that Zhen Mi was still asleep when Cao Shu left.

In the past, Zhen Mi got up very early every day, but when Cao Shu stayed overnight, she slept until noon.

After leaving Zhen Mi's residence, Cao Shu came directly to the front hall.

There are already many aides and generals here, including his son Cao Heng.

Walking into the front hall and asking everyone to sit down, Cao Shu asked, "Are there anyone else not here?"

"Return to the lord, there are still several who have not arrived." The official in charge of convening the court meeting replied: "These are..."
