Cao Pi was startled for a moment, then his face turned red, and he squeezed out a few words between his teeth,

"Of course it counts!"

"That's good, I'm here to thank Zihuan."

Cao Mao smiled lightly, and then slowly sat down beside Cao Cao.

The banquet continued.

Cao Mao sat beside Cao Cao, and the two chatted happily.

Everyone saw it in their eyes and knew in their hearts that the son Cao Cao loved the most right now was Cao Mao.

Not far away, Cao Pi's face was livid, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Cao Mao.

Three months' salary is nothing.

But Cao Mao, who beat himself, was so showy, Cao Pi couldn't stand it.

At this moment, a voice sounded from the side,
"Zi Huan, seeing your complexion is not good, there must be some grudges in your heart."

It was Cao Ang who was holding a wine glass and approached with a smile.

Cao Pi glanced at him and snorted coldly,
"What's your order, brother?"

"Actually, like you, I am quite dissatisfied with Su Lie.

How about this, how about we join forces first and get rid of Su Lie? "

Cao Ang suggested softly.

"Why should I join hands with you?"

Cao Pi squinted at Cao Angdao.

"Although you and I are not born of the same mother, we are no different from brothers.

And Su Lie is only born of a concubine, how can he be worthy of competing with us. "

Cao Ang put on a sincere attitude and tried to persuade him.

Cao Ang was born to Mrs. Liu, Cao Cao's concubine.

Mrs. Liu died early, and Cao Ang was raised by his wife, Mrs. Ding, and grew up with Cao Pi and others.

Cao Pi was silent for a long time, and finally nodded,
"Alright, big brother, then let's deal with Su Lie first!"

"good!"

The two raised their glasses with smiles and drank together.

Cao Mao, who was sitting next to Cao Cao, naturally noticed the two chattering over wine.

Seeing that the two of them looked at him unkindly, Cao Mao had guessed in his mind that they were going to join forces to deal with him.

but.

so what.

What am I afraid of if I am serious?
Facing the eyes of the two, Cao Maoyao raised his wine glass at them and drank it down in one gulp.

……

The banquet is gone.

Cao Cao took Guo Jia back to his study.

He took the hangover soup handed over by the servant, drank a cup, looked at the silent Guo Jia, and suddenly laughed.

"Feng Xiao, why have you been silent tonight?"

Guo Jia was silent for a moment, then said softly,

"Prime Minister, I don't know if I should say something or not..."

"Feng Xiao, you are being polite to me now."

Cao Cao spoke with reproach.

Guo Jia bowed his hands and saluted.

"The prime minister's family affairs, the subordinates should not talk too much.

But tonight, in front of everyone, the prime minister treated Mr. Su Lie affectionately, I'm afraid that Mr. Zixiu and Mr. Zihuan would not be convinced.

I also hope that the lord can establish a son as soon as possible, so as to avoid the phenomenon of helping Su and Hu Hai in the previous dynasty. "

If it was someone else who dared to talk about the successor, Cao Cao would be furious and execute that person directly.

But Guo Jia is Cao Cao's most important adviser, and the two can be said to be confidantes.

Cao Cao was silent for a moment, and finally let out a long sigh,
"How can I not be clear about what Feng Xiao said? In your opinion, who should be the most suitable?"

Guo Jia murmured,
"In terms of etiquette, one should be selected from the two sons Zixiu and Zihuan.

But Mr. Su Lie is young and more outstanding than the two young masters. "

"What Feng Xiao said hits my heart."

Cao Cao's initial idea was indeed to choose one of Cao Ang and Cao Pi as his successor.

But he didn't expect that Cao Mao showed his talented side at this time.

Kill Zhang Xiu and put down the chaos in Wancheng.

Offer treasures such as stirrups, improve the bookkeeping method, and invent numbers and assembly line operations.

Behead Qiaorui, defeat the [-] army, and conquer Shouchun.

This made Cao Cao hesitate, not knowing how to make a choice.

"But Su Lie is good in everything, but he is too cruel and domineering."

Cao Cao frowned.

Guo Jia suddenly laughed,

"Prime Minister, those who are young and frivolous must have the talents of heaven."

"You're right. If Su Lie is really talented, then what if I let him take over my Cao family business?"

Cao Cao's eyes were full of light.

……

Cao Mao took Zhao Ji and Shiliu back to the mansion, and after his mother settled down, he returned to his room.

"My lord, the military advisor is here."

Reported by Cao Dahui.

"Understood, let him in."

Cao Mao nodded.

After a while, Jia Xu opened the door and came in.

"My lord, it's so late, why call Wenhe here?"

Cao Mao then recounted everything that happened at the Cao Mansion's family banquet tonight.

Jia Xu thought for a moment, then said with a slightly lame eyebrow,

"The prime minister asked the young master and his wife to move back to the prime minister's mansion, which shows that the young master has already gained the favor of the prime minister, which is a good thing.

But the young master shouldn't, in front of so many people, go to have a grudge against Zi Huan. "

Although Jia Xu didn't speak very thoroughly, Cao Mao already understood the implication of his words.

Except for the three sons, Cao Cao had 25 sons in his life.

But there are only four people who are favored by him.

The eldest son Cao Ang.

The young and mature Cao Pi.

The brilliant Cao Zhi.

Cao Chong is naturally intelligent and capable.

The most hopeful successors to Cao Cao's position are Cao Ang and Cao Pi.

Cao Ang's mother, Mrs. Liu, died early, and was brought up by his wife, Mrs. Ding.

So strictly speaking, he is not considered the eldest son.

The real eldest son is Cao Pi.

Jia Xu felt that there was really no need for Cao Mao to go to blame Cao Pi tonight.

This is a good time, and two strong enemies are erected at once.

The most important thing is that Cao Ang and Cao Pi joined hands.

Cao Mao smiled lightly,
"Cao Pi was too aggressive tonight, I don't teach him a lesson, I'm afraid he will become more aggressive in the future.

Besides, if I want to take over my father's position, sooner or later I will have conflicts with him.

Even if the two of them work together, why should I be afraid? "

Cao Mao's smile is full of confidence.

He has a system in his body, and he knows the history of the Three Kingdoms like the palm of his hand. Could it be that he can't beat Cao Ang and Cao Pi?
"Young master is so confident, then the subordinates have nothing to worry about."

The worries in Jia Xu's heart disappeared immediately after seeing Cao Mao's smile.

"The top priority is to open the tavern as soon as possible, so as to obtain military funds and strengthen the combat effectiveness of the tiger and leopard cavalry.

As long as I have a strong army in my hands, even if my father doesn't agree, I still have to agree. "

Cao Mao looked out the window, and a bright moon rose.

There was a fierce coldness on his face.

Jia Xu felt a chill in her heart.

……

The next day.

Cao Mao got up early in the morning, washed up and went to the backyard to get busy.

After dozens of failures, he finally succeeded in brewing Moutai!

Looking at the extremely clear wine in the bowl, Cao Mao couldn't help smiling.

Pomegranate on the side wrinkled her nose, looking cute and authentic,

"Young master, you have wasted almost a stone of food, what is there to be happy about?"

Cao Mao glanced at her and laughed,

"Believe it or not, this bowl of wine can be exchanged for a stone of food?"
