Three Kingdoms: Salted Fish's son-in-law was overheard by Cao Cao

Cao Xian was overjoyed immediately, his eyes gleamed, completely ignoring the hint from his eldest brother Cao Ang.

Nodding repeatedly, he replied with a happy smile: "Can Daddy invite Shixian here? They have admired brother-in-law's name for a long time, if they can appreciate his..."

At this time, Cao Xian also saw Cao Ang who was shaking his head with his forehead supported, and his voice became smaller and smaller.Seeing Cao Cao's eyes again, I immediately knew that I was getting carried away.

"Well, Daddy, don't get me wrong. Of course I won't do harm to my brother-in-law. It's just that a few close friends want to see my brother-in-law's true face."

"Of course it's just appreciation, nothing else."

"What's the point of your thinking? That's my son-in-law. Can you still kidnap him?"

Cao Xian's eyes lit up, and it disappeared in a flash.

"Dad, don't worry, they are all ladies from famous families, and they won't embarrass Daddy. Besides, we just watch from a distance through the gauze curtain, so naturally we won't make any rude moves."

After weighing it for a while, Cao Cao felt that it was really as his sons and daughters said, holding a poetry meeting is a huge profit, and it can easily solve the problem of communicating with the public today.

"That's also feasible, so you can start preparing, and you can ask your close friends to help you plan."

"Thank you father, thank you big brother. How about big brother help me prepare too."

Cao Ang smiled and shook his head. Cao Ang was always gentle towards his younger siblings.

In Cao Xian's eyes, Cao Ang is a model of elder brothers being like fathers. He not only teaches her knowledge, but also protects and loves her.

It would be best if he could become his father's heir.

"If you need something, you can go to your second brother, or ask Xiaozhi to give you advice. The eldest brother is going north."

Cao Xian was surprised: "Brother just came back not long ago, why did he go north again, did something unexpected happen to the Yuan family?"

Cao Ang shook his head: "There is no accident, it's just that the centipede is dead but not stiff. Although Yuan Shao, who occupies the land of the four continents, is declining, the rate of decline is too slow. I will help him."

Cao Cao sighed: "In my opinion, it is better to wait for the autumn harvest. Although there is no shortage of food and grass, the north still has some resistance. It will be easier if they let them mess up for a while."

Cao Ang laughed and said, "What my father said is true, but if we can occupy more states and counties as soon as possible, we will be able to obtain more grain and grass in the autumn harvest. There are also many good arable lands in the Northland."

Cao Cao laughed loudly: "Okay, then let Dian Wei come with you, I will have no problems in Xu, and there is Xu Chu, so you don't have to worry."

Dian Wei bowed to the side and replied, "Here, this time I can have a good kill again."

"So you two still have to be careful. After the autumn harvest, I will immediately lead the army to the north. Within a year, I will have Jizhou fully under my name."

"Father can do it."

Cao Ang responded, hesitated for a while, and said what he had been thinking for a long time.

"Actually, Dezu also advised me to start the war after the autumn harvest. During this period, I can spread rumors, divide the strategists and generals, agitate the generals and soldiers at the bottom, and let the north renounce, so that it will be easier to act."

Cao Cao sneered, Yang Xiu committed crimes many times, if he was not from the Yang family, the grass on the grave could feed horses.

"If it weren't for the fact that you still value him, I would have killed him long ago."

"Thank you father." Cao Ang bowed and saluted.

"You don't need to thank me. Since you think he is useful, just use it. It's just that this person has little wisdom but no great wisdom. He is reckless and arrogant, and it is really difficult to achieve great things."

Cao Ang smiled: "It is precisely because of this that I have taken a fancy to him that I will use him. Such a person will contribute strategies and covet credit, but will not rebel. Because everything about him is written on his face, and he even opposes I’ve been at my best all the time.”

"Hahaha, Ang'er, you've grown up, so it's fine. You're rushing north this time to save his Yang family. If that's the case, then do it."

Listening to the conversation between his father and brother, Cao Xian felt the meaning, as if they were discussing the future.

The Cao family is becoming more and more powerful, and I am afraid that it will take over the Han family instead of the Liu family in the future. If I don't know how the brothers will get along with each other at that time.

Will there really be killing each other like in history?What will happen to such a refined elder brother at that time.Whether to become another person, or withdraw from the dispute.

And what kind of role will the father play in this?Do you watch everyone vying for the succession position, or choose someone according to your own preferences to prevent everyone from fighting.

By then, I am afraid that the entire Cao family will be involved in disputes.

The more Cao Xian thought about it, the more frightened he became, and even his face turned pale. Fortunately, the candlelight was dim and no one noticed.

The dialogue between Cao Cao and Cao Ang continued, and Cao Ang generously admitted his plan.

"Father is right. I want to save the Yang family, so that even if the Yang family will not be used by me, they will stand in the same camp as me."

Cao Cao shook his head: "Yang Xiu is treacherous and unscrupulous. And people will grow, you still have to be careful about this."

"Yes, father, don't worry, I will look after Yang Xiu."

After a pause, Cao Ang raised his hands up and solemnly saluted Cao Cao.

"Father, don't worry, my meritorious service in going to the Northland this time should be enough. In the future, there will be Yangzhou, Jingzhou, and even Huawai. No matter who father chooses as his son, I have already obtained the qualifications to stand up, and the soldiers under his command will also have enough promotions." .”

Cao Cao nodded, feeling really relieved at this moment.

Regardless of whether Cao Ang's words were his own words from the bottom of his heart, or Yang Xiu taught him a cover-up strategy, Cao Cao felt that Cao Ang could already be on his own.

Soon after, Cao Ang took Dianwei as the vanguard and marched northward, but before going to the north, there was still one place to go.

Wei County.

Earlier, Xu You, Yuan Shao's counselor, sent a secret letter to Cao Cao, inviting Cao Cao to Weijun for a speech.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was seriously ill and the two sons of the Yuan family were fighting for power, Xu You couldn't see the future of the Yuan family, so he found a way out for himself.

Of course, Cao Cao didn't have time to go to Wei County. This trip happened to be Cao Ang's meeting with Xu You, if he could get Xu You's assistance.

Eliminate Yuan Shao and it will be easier to gain control of Jizhou.

Ten days later, news came from the north that Xu You had reached an agreement with Cao Ang to provide convenience for Cao Ang.

Fifteen days later, there was another news that Yuan Shaoyuan went to Youzhou to quell the chaos, and Xu You stayed in Yecheng for an excuse, preparing to support Cao Ang's attack on the city.

Twenty-five days later, Commander Xu You deliberately left a loophole and ordered people to open the city gate, so Cao Ang captured Yecheng in one fell swoop.

When the news came, the entire Xudu City was shaken, and the whole world was also shaken.

The fall of Yecheng is almost equivalent to the fall of Yuan Shao's capital, which also means that it is only a matter of time before Yuan Shao's collapse.

Both Liu Bei and Sun Ce in the south were still hoping that Yuan Shao would cause some chaos to Cao Cao, so that the south would have a chance to breathe.

Now that Yecheng has fallen, I believe that the north will be completely controlled by Cao Cao soon, and then Yangzhou in the south will bear the brunt, followed by Jingzhou.
