There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Cao Cao took a deep breath and said, "If it weren't for the fact that there are two imperial courts in this world, Wen Ruo would have left me long ago."

Liu Ye nodded with emotion and said, "The current situation is complicated. If Sikong is not sure about Wen Ruogong's situation, it is better to hand over the authority of Xuchang City to someone else. After Chang'an is stabilized and he returns to the Central Plains, he will deal with it. how?"

These words really reached Cao Cao's heart, he thought about it carefully, and said, "It's doable!"

A few days later, Cao Hong, a veteran of the Cao family, secretly led a troop and hurried back to Xuchang City, ordering that Xun Yu's full authority be removed.

There was not a single soldier of the pottery merchant in the incident outside Xuchang City. Most of his troops were gathered at Cao Ang and Cao Ren, but Xuchang City was quiet and there was no sign of war.

In such a situation, no matter who looked at it, they could not help but feel puzzled.

Cao Hong was just ordered to come to disarm Xun Yu's rights, but he didn't know the reason.

Cao Cao also didn't want to tell Cao Hong about this matter, after all, he still wanted to restore the relationship between himself and Xun Yu in the future, but right now, Cao Cao wanted to kill the dangerous factors in the cradle.

Cao Hong entered the city, came to Xun Yu's mansion, took out Cao Cao's token, and stated Cao Cao's order to him.

"Wen Ruogong, I'm sorry! All matters in Xuchang are under the leadership of the general. Please don't be offended by Wen Ruogong!"

Xun Yu just gave a wry smile and didn't speak. He immediately took out the seal ribbon and tiger charm, handed them to Cao Hong, and told him all the current situation in Xuchang City.

Cao Hong listened so seriously that he almost took out a small notebook from his pocket and wrote it down.

Although Xun Yu explained the current situation to him very clearly, Cao Hong still couldn't figure it out. Since the pottery merchants are attacking the Central Plains aggressively, why is Xuchang City, an important town, as stable as Mount Tai, without a single soldier coming to attack?

Chapter 787 Cao's Uncle and Nephew

Xun Yu felt very uncomfortable.

He can understand Cao Cao's thoughts. Although Cao Cao still relies heavily on him, at this critical moment, especially after he has an unclear relationship with the imperial court under the jurisdiction of the pottery merchant, it is impossible for Cao Cao to let himself alone. He is in charge of the military and political power in Xuchang.

But understanding belongs to understanding, and feeling uncomfortable belongs to feeling uncomfortable.

Cao Cao just sent Cao Hong to confiscate his power, but he didn't even have a letter.

Even if he asked Cao Hong to send a message to scold him a few words, it would be fine.

But there were none of these, Cao Cao's performance was too calm.

What does this mean?

It shows that Cao Cao may have doubted himself a long time ago, and Cao Cao may have distrusted himself many years ago.

Thinking of this, Xun Yu felt an indescribably uncomfortable feeling in his heart.

Recalling what the Tao merchant said to him earlier, Xun Yu felt that he was really being slapped in the face by Tao.

He actually lost the bet against the pottery merchant.

But even if this is the case, what can Xun Yu do?

He can only continue to endure and wait for all this to end.

……

The news of Cao Hong going to Xuchang, of course, could not be concealed from the spies of the school affairs office, and the news soon spread to the potter's barracks.

When the potter heard that Cao Hong had come, he couldn't help being overjoyed!

Great job done!

Cao Hong was notoriously short-tempered, if he sent a calm person back to take charge of the overall situation for Xun Yu, it might be more difficult to deal with, but if Cao Hong came back, the pottery merchant believed that his chances of winning would be a little higher.

In fact, Cao Cao didn't want to send Cao Hong back, but Xuchang had a lot to do with it. Cao Cao had to send people from his trusted family to guard him to be at ease. After all, he had already learned from Xun Yu.

Xiahoudun is dead, Xiahouyuan is currently in the outpost, and the closest relatives of Cao Cao's clan are being pushed around, and only Cao Hong can reassure Cao Cao.

To be honest, this matter is also helpless for Cao Cao.

It's just that he never imagined that the violent temper of his younger brother in the clan would actually reach the ears of the potter, and he would use it!

"Come here, come here!" The pottery merchant hastily greeted Pei Qian and said, "Bring me the book that I cherished, the pen, it's not a treasure, is it? You are too ignorant, Prime Minister, I'll get you two This volume will open your eyes and let you know what is a masterpiece of this kind of book."

Tao Shang smiled and said: "The level of this book is indeed mediocre, and I only got some authentic biography, but do you know who its author is?"

Chen Deng asked suspiciously, "Who?"

"Cao Ang! This was copied by Cao Ang after imitating my work. He sent it to my camp for my appreciation. I left a manuscript copy at that time."

"What about Cao Ang's handwriting? It's just..."

When he said this, Chen Deng suddenly froze. He slowly turned his head to look at the potter, with an evil smile on his face.

"Handwriting!" The two said in unison, and then both grinned.

……

After Cao Hong got Xun Yu's explanation of the current situation, he still had some doubts in his heart, or something he didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask Xun Yu anymore, but left Xun Yu to ask others.

For Cao Hong, the people closest to him in the whole Xuchang city are no different from Cao Cao's son and his family.

Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, is currently guarding Puyang Town against the Jinling army. The only people left in the city are Cao Cao's wives and his other sons.

Among them, the older ones include Cao Pi Cao Zhang, who was born to Mrs. Bian.

Cao Hong has no one else to ask right now, so he can only ask Cao Pi.

Cao Hong came to the Sikong mansion, and his servants hurried in to report.

When he was young, Cao Pi came out to welcome Cao Hong on behalf of the people in Cao's mansion.

The two came to the main hall and sat down as guest and host, but Cao Pi said to Cao Hong, "Uncle Zilian, you are here! If you play for a few more days, I'm afraid that Xuchang City will be lost by Xun Yu sooner or later." !"

"What? What?" Cao Hong looked confused: "Nephew, what do you mean by that? Don't scare me, I won't be scared!"

Cao Pi showed a surprised expression, and said, "Uncle Zilian, didn't you read the letter I wrote to my father? Didn't my father tell you the contents of the letter?"

Cao Hong shook his head blankly, and said, "Sikong didn't tell me anything, what did you say in the letter to him?"

Cao Pi was a little unhappy in his heart. The fundamental reason why he wrote to Cao Cao was that he wanted to take this opportunity to break into Cao Jun's interior, let Cao Cao think highly of himself and reuse him, so as to find opportunities to become an official.

He originally wanted to take advantage of Xun Yu's incident to make a great contribution, and use it as a close posture, but the facts proved that Cao Cao didn't seem to intend to do anything about this matter, but rather suppressed it.

Cao Cao suppressed the matter, so wouldn't his credit be buried?

Regardless of Cao Pi's young age, his ambition and ambition are really not small.

However, fortunately, the person who came back to take control was Cao Hong.
