While Sun Quan was proud, Cao Cao of Xuchang was also happy.
"It's wonderful. Liu Xiye was also attacked by Zhou Yu at night. I thought Liu Xiye was invincible."
When Cao Cao said this, he was quite gloating. But he could also imagine how Liu Cong felt after being attacked at night.
How he felt at the beginning is how Liu Cong should feel!
Cao Xiu stepped out of the queue and bowed and said, "Prime Minister, I am willing to lead the troops south to avenge our previous humiliation!"
Cao Cao didn't say anything. He wanted to hear other people's opinions. Seeing that Cao Cao didn't respond, Cao Xiu continued, "Prime Minister, Brother Zixiao is serving the country loyally in Wancheng. Please allow the general to send troops. Report to the country and snow will cause hatred!"
Cao's family and Xiahou's family are close to each other, and the relationship between Cao Xiu and Cao Ren is even closer. They have invited each other to fight south more than once, and Cao Cao is not surprised at all when they say it again.
Cao Zhen also spoke up and said, "Prime Minister, I am also willing to accompany Zi Heshu to the south to avenge Zi's filial uncle!"
Not to be outdone, Cao Xiu said, "The general is also willing to accompany me. Please allow me, Prime Minister!"
Cao Zhen and Cao Xiu were taught by Cao Ren. Moreover, because of the relationship between the Cao family and the Cao family, they also wanted to avenge Cao Ren.
Cheng Yu chuckled and said, "The three generals have great ambitions. Unfortunately, Liu Cong is not at his weakest now. We can't get any benefits from sending troops at this time."
Xun Yu continued to speak, "My lord, there are no less than 50,000 troops stationed in Wancheng, including black armored cavalry. Wenpin and Zhao Yun are also generals who are capable of fighting. With them here, conquering Wancheng will require at least 150,000 troops.
Horses, and be prepared to kill half of them."
Cao Xiu became a little angry and said loudly to the two of them, "Then won't Zixiao's blood feud be avenged?"
Xun Yu's expression remained unchanged, "General Cao, that's not what we meant. It's just that this is not the best time to send troops."
"I don't care about that. I think you just can't bear to part with that little money and food. I tell you, even if I lose all my family wealth, I will avenge Brother Zixiao!"
"General Cao, you have to understand that soldiers are a major issue for the country, and you should not use them lightly."
"Fart, I, Cao Xiu, follow the Prime Minister to conquer the north and south, and I have always..."
"Pah!" "Wonderful!"
Cao Cao, who was sitting at the top, stood up and glared at Cao Xiu, "Cao Zihe, Gu knows that you are eager for revenge. Do you think Gu doesn't feel sorry for Zixiao? Do you think Gu doesn't want revenge?"
"However, the country's use of troops requires careful planning from many parties. Can you just say something casually and be able to give you enough troops, money and food at once for you to go into battle?"
"Prime Minister, I..."
"Shut up. With your current mood, even if you go to the battlefield, will you be able to win the battle? Also, have your usual energy-raising skills ended up in the dog's belly?"
"Who gave you the qualifications to be disrespectful to Wen Ruo and Zhong De? When facing them alone, you must be polite and polite. Why do you have it?"
Cao Xiu blushed after being reprimanded by Cao Cao. He raised his hands to Cheng Yu and Xun Yu and said, "Two gentlemen, I was in a moment of impatience and impulsively spoke without restraint. I hope you will understand."
Xun Yu stroked his beard and smiled and said, "No problem, General Cao's true temperament is actually admirable."
"Yes, yes." Cheng Yu did not blame Cao Xiu.
Cao Cao said again, "Zihe, you dare to attack these two gentlemen in public. When you get down, you can get twenty pieces of board for yourself."
"The general will obey your orders!"
Cheng Yu and Xun Yu hurriedly begged for mercy, "Prime Minister, please spare Zi and the general. He is just in a hurry, and we two have nothing to do with it."
"Needless to say, Gu cannot condone people who are disrespectful to these two gentlemen. Let alone Gu's brothers, even Gu's son, the same applies!"
What a hero. When these words came out of Cao Cao's mouth, both Xun Yu and Cheng Yu felt warm in their hearts.
Even Cao Xiu felt proud of the second half of Cao Cao's words. The unhappiness in his heart disappeared now. He straightened his body and allowed Cao Cao to continue his instructions.
"Liu Xiye just suffered a small defeat. Don't talk about going south anymore. Just wait for the opportunity."
"promise."
"Everyone, please step aside. I need to rest."
"promise."
After everyone retreated, Cao Cao showed a smile on his face and murmured, "Liu Xiye, Liu Xiye, you deserve it. I asked you to attack Gu's camp at night. This is good. You can also experience Gu's feelings."
"Prime Minister, the second and fourth young masters were beaten by the third young master."
Cao Cao was just happy when his servants came to report such big news to him.
When Cao Cao heard this, he suddenly felt irritable. He looked at Liu Cong and then at his sons. What kind of things are they? Bah, isn't this a scolding of himself?
The second son, Cao Pi, is 23 years old this year. After Cao Ang died, he became the eldest son in the family, but he is still so unstable.
The third son, Cao Zhang, is 21 years old this year. He has a yellow beard and luxuriant hair. He looks like an orangutan. He advocates force and doesn't know how to use his brain. He knows how to fight bravely.
The fourth son, Cao Zhi, is 19 years old. He has been interested in literature since he was a child. He can read at the age of three and can recite the Book of Songs and the Analects of Confucius at the age of ten. He also has extensive knowledge of various schools of thought. Cao Cao himself is also very knowledgeable.
I love this son.
The rest, except for the deceased Cao Chong, either died young or have no sense of existence.
Cao Cao's face, which had been smiling just now, suddenly turned gloomy, "What's the reason?"
The servant quickly replied, "Originally, it was just the second young master and the fourth young master. The fourth young master said that the second young master's poems were mediocre, and the two got into a dispute because of the poems. Unexpectedly, the third young master came over and said that they were the same.
He looks like a poor and rotten scholar. No matter how good his poems are, he cannot dominate the world."
"The second young master, as an elder brother, taught the third young master that he should not be as brave as a man. The fourth young master directly said that the third young master was a reckless man, and then the third young master beat the fourth young master. The second young master also got beaten when he started a fight, and then the three of them
Fighting together."
The servant who reported the report spoke very quickly and in great detail. After finishing speaking, Cao Cao didn't reply for a long time, so he quietly looked up.
"Asshole!"
Cao Cao stood up again, "Where are those traitors now?"
"I'm just kneeling in the yard to apologize." The servant was startled and quickly knelt down.
"Qiang!"
Cao Cao drew his sword and walked towards the courtyard in front of him with a fierce expression.
"What are you two afraid of? My father will come soon, and I will take care of everything. Look at how cowardly you two are!"
In the courtyard, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi knelt on the ground respectfully, while Cao Zhang held a handful of red dates in his hand.
He ate a date, spit out a core, and walked around the two kneeling people.
Cao Pi scolded Cao Zhang with a sullen face and eyes like pandas, "Third brother, you'd better kneel down. If you do something wrong, you have to admit it."
Cao Zhi didn't hesitate to give in too much. He also had two panda eyes on his fair face, "Humph, you reckless man, let's see how my father will deal with you later!"
"Pooh!"
"you……"
Cao Zhang spat a date core from his mouth onto Cao Zhi's forehead and said disdainfully, "I haven't beaten you enough just now, have I?"
Cao Zhi stared at him coldly, intimidated by Cao Zhang's strength. He just said "you" and did not dare to say anything else.
Suddenly, Cao Zhi's pupils shrank and he quickly knelt down on the ground, as did Cao Pi beside him.
Cao Zhang laughed loudly, "That's right, you two can't beat me. Kowtow to me and admit your mistake. It won't be embarrassing!"
