However, Cao Hong's words made Cao Cao very depressed. No matter how outstanding Cao Ang's ability is, he started too late after all. If Cao Shuo suppressed him, he, as a father, would really be hard to favor anyone.
Abandoning the old and setting up the young has been the root of disasters since ancient times, but Cao Shuo's foundation was laid down by himself. Could he tell Cao Shuo in the future that your elder brother is the number one heir to the Cao family? Hand over the military power to your elder brother?
If he dared to say that, Cao Shuo's generals would definitely be unwilling. They have no friendship with the Cao family, and they are all loyal subordinates of Cao Shuo.
Seeing Cao Cao's displeasure, Cheng Yu thought about what Cao Cao was thinking, and persuaded him, "My lord, the second son is currently dealing with the affairs of Sili and Youzhou, and he has no time to worry about the south for the time being. The time left for the lord is running out. My lord needs to come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible."
"Hey!"
Cao Cao sighed, very helpless. Others were worried that his son was not good enough, but he was even more worried.
"My son is too good, and it is also a troublesome thing!"
Cao Shuo has now become the King of Wei, and if he drags on, he may really have to fight against each other.
Xiahou Dun said with a strange expression: "Brother, if Yuan Shao has such a son, he might be able to wake up laughing when he sleeps!"
laugh?I fucking want to cry now!
But what Cao Cao didn't expect was that Cao Shuo really sent someone.
"Report, there is an urgent message from Jizhou!"
Cao Cao's heart skipped a beat. The last thing he wanted to hear was news about Cao Shuo. Anyway, this bastard was definitely not here to give him money or food.
Cao Cao took the letter and looked at it, and sat down on the ground with an extremely ugly expression.
Xiahou Dun asked, "Brother, what happened? Did something happen to Shuo'er?"
Cao Cao smiled wryly, what could he do, now that something happened to him, Cao Shuo wanted to seize his military power, should he give it or not?
"Shuo'er wants me to hand over my military power and territory, otherwise we will meet with each other!"
"what?"
Xiahoudun, Cao Hong, and Cao Chun looked horrified. How could Cao Shuo ask his elder brother to hand over his military power at this time?Could it be that he heard about Cao Ang's performance in Xuzhou and felt a crisis?
As for the others, these are not things they care about. After all, Cao Cao will hand over to the two princes sooner or later. No matter who they follow, it is not easy to participate in this matter. This is the master's own private matter.
"My lord, let's postpone the attack on Yuan Shu. My lord needs to make a decision as soon as possible."
"Subordinates retire!"
Cheng Yu glanced at the others, and then backed out.
Walking out of the big tent, Le Jin looked at Cheng Yu and asked, "Sir, do you think the lord will support the eldest son or the second son?"
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
He will never express his thoughts, it is most appropriate to hand over to Cao Shuo, after all, he only needs to offend Cao Ang.
But if they were handed over to Cao Ang, they would be in danger.
Hey, the battle between heirs is always cruel, it depends on how the lord makes his choice.
In the big tent, only a few generals from the Cao family and the Xiahou family remained.
Xiahoudun looked at Cao Cao and asked eagerly, "What do you mean by elder brother?"
Cao Cao looked at his brothers and said helplessly, "Who do you think is more suitable?"
Everyone fell silent. Who is more suitable? Is there any need to compare?Cao Shuo is now the king of Wei, and his strength is probably stronger than the sum of the major princes of the Central Plains.
"Why don't you talk?" Cao Cao looked at the crowd depressed, trying to comfort them.
Cao Hong said: "Brother, Shuo'er has his own team, so it is absolutely impossible for him to hand over his military power."
Cao Chun worried: "Brother, if Shuo'er wants to persecute Ang'er, what should I do?"
The relationship between Cao Chun and Cao Ang is even better. Although they are uncles and nephews, they are about the same age.
He doesn't care who is in power, he cares most about Cao Ang's future situation.
Cao Cao said with a mournful face, "This is what I'm most worried about. Shuo'er has a strong personality. If Ang'er doesn't give up an inch based on his current achievements, I'm afraid Shuo'er will never keep him!"
If Cao Shuo wanted to kill Cao Ang, he couldn't persuade him. After all, Cao Shuo didn't inherit his family business, but annexed it.
Xiahou Dun suggested: "Brother, we need to recall Ang'er as soon as possible, ask his opinion, and see if he is willing to assist Shuo'er."
Cao Cao had no choice but to settle this matter as soon as possible. He could delay Cao Shuo's reply. After all, in the northern counties, except for two or three thousand defenders, there were no generals left behind. Cao Shuo also understood. his meaning.
"Yuan Rang, go to Xuzhou yourself and bring Ang'er back."
Xiahou Dun responded and left, leaving Cao Cao alone in the big tent to think about life.
"Hey, you're really going to give me a hard time!"
Chapter 331 "5" I would like to assist my second brother to achieve supremacy
In the county government of Lu County, Pengcheng State, Cao Ang, who had just won the county seat, was looking proud.
He looked at Wang Lang who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Mr. Jing Xing, since Tao Qian handed over the military power of Xuzhou to Yuan Shao, he has become a useless person. Why should he sacrifice his life for him?"
Wang Lang returned: "The ancestral business is in Xuzhou, and it is really helpless to serve under Tao Qian. If General Cao does not give up, I am willing to lead the Wang family to join the General."
Cao Ang thought for a while and said, "Mr. Jing Xing, to tell the truth, I have planned to assist my second brother, so if you want to do things for my Cao family, you still need to go to Jizhou."
Wang Lang looked at Cao Ang in surprise. Is he Cao Shuo's soldier?
So isn't this Xuzhou going to become Wei's territory?
"Then I will go to Jizhou to meet King Wei now!"
Wang Lang thought to himself, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if he can use this opportunity to serve under Cao Shuo, it will definitely be much better than Tao Qian and Cao Cao.
After Wang Lang left, Cao Ang looked at Guo Jia and asked, "Military Master, what should we do next?"
Guo Jia said: "The soldiers and horses of Taishan County have taken the east of Donghai County, and only Jiaxian County is left in Donghai County. Jiaxian County has [-] soldiers and horses. The commander of the army, Cao Bao, is also a fierce general. Zang Ba doesn't want to attack by force for now. Jia County, we can go to Xiaxiang County to the south of Xiapi."
Cao Ang worried: "At present, our army has 2 soldiers, and if we divide the troops again, Tao Qian sends troops to attack Lu County. Isn't it a little dangerous for us?"
Guo Jia said: "Our purpose is to let Tao Qian send out the defenders in Xiapi City. In this way, Zang Ba thinks there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and he will definitely attack Jiaxian County and take Xiapi."
Cao Ang said: "The next general, Chen Deng, is brave and resourceful. I'm afraid that Xia Houde and Cao Xiu are not his opponents. Mr. Feng Xiao must go in person."
Guo Jia said: "Then I will go with General Xia Houde, 5000 people are enough!"
"Report, General Xiahou Dun led [-] cavalry to Lu County!"
"Oh?"
Cao Ang was surprised. He didn't expect his father to send reinforcements at this time. Could it be that the battle in Lujiang County has been decided?
"Let Uncle Yuan Rang come in!"
After a while, Xiahou Dun came to Cao Ang's meeting room alone, and saw Guo Jia, Xiahoude, and Cao Xiu were all there.
"My nephew is becoming more and more promising. I didn't expect that with only [-] troops, I could capture Pengcheng!"
Cao Ang said angrily, "Uncle, is this a compliment or a loss? If my second brother leads the troops, I'm afraid the whole Xuzhou has already been captured."
"Hahaha!"
Xiahou Dun laughed, sat down beside Cao Ang, and said, "I'm here to take you to Xuzhou. Your father asked you to go to Longkang, Peiguo!"
"Why?" Cao Ang asked warily.
He didn't expect that Xiahou Dun would come to take credit for himself, and at this critical moment, he wanted to replace him.
Seeing Cao Ang's displeased face, Xiahou Dun explained: "Nephew, don't be angry, you will know what's going on when you go to Longkang."
"Don't go!"
Cao Ang directly refused. He had already decided to join Cao Shuo. Now he went to Longkang to see Cao Cao. If Cao Cao refused to let him continue to lead the army, wouldn't his plan come to naught.
"Nephew, don't play your temper, this is related to the future of the Cao family."
Xiahoudun didn't expect Cao Ang to be so straightforward, and he didn't want to see Cao Cao.
"Uncle, just tell me what it is. If it's about setting up an heir, I'm not interested!"
"Ok?"
Xiahou Dun looked at Cao Ang in surprise. He was not interested in establishing an heir?You are still a key person in such an important matter, how can you just say that you are not interested and just avoid it?
"Uncle, tell me directly, what exactly do you want me to do!"
Xiahou Dun had no choice but to convey Cao Shuo's meaning to Cao Ang. Cao Ang couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
"For this matter, is it worth my going to Longkang?"
Xiahou Dun asked worriedly, "Nephew, what are you going to do?"
"I am willing to assist my second brother to achieve hegemony, so it has nothing to do with me to decide who the father of the Cao family's foundation will be."
"what?"
Xiahou Dun stared at Cao Ang in disbelief, why did the child think so openly, or did he say that he was perfunctory.
"Is my nephew serious?"
Cao Ang nodded, and said seriously: "It's true, Mr. Feng Xiao can testify for me. I came to Xuzhou this time to bring Xuzhou down, and then give it to my second brother, so that he can make me a general!"
"With the two of you in the family, why not prosper!"
Cao Ang said meaningfully: "Uncle, it's better to make plans as soon as possible, the second brother has a lot of brave generals!"
Xiahou Dun looked embarrassed. Cao Ang was right. Cao Shuo had many generals. With his ability, he didn't know if he could rank among the top ten under Cao Shuo. He had to make a plan early.
"I also have to find a way to please Shuo'er."
Cao Ang smiled and said, "Uncle, do you agree with my decision?"
"You have decided so much, what else can I say, but now I know, I want to take part in the attack, and leave it to me to attack Xiapi."
Cao Ang's face darkened, and he said angrily, "Uncle is trying to steal my credit."
"Hey, who let you have these two incompetent boys under your command? With their abilities, they can't win Xiapi at all."
Guo Jia said: "My lord, since General Yuan Rang intends to attack Xiapi, then give him [-] troops and let him go."
"Ten thousand?"
Xiahou Dun wiped off his cold sweat, wondering what [-] soldiers and horses could do.
Cao Ang said angrily: "Uncle, I only have more than 2 soldiers and horses left. How much do you think you can take away?"
"Then I'll go to Xiang County and gather some troops!"
Chapter 332
"Brother Cao, there is still a hundred poems left, the dowry is enough, you have to work hard!"
Cai Yan's younger sister, Cai Zhenji, saw that Cao Shuo hadn't written for a long time, so she hurriedly rubbed his temples.
Cao Shuo was speechless and said, "Isn't it difficult for my father-in-law? I didn't give you anything to marry your sister. Why is it so difficult to marry you?"
Cao Shuo sent someone to Cai's mansion to propose marriage, but Cai Yong asked him to exchange [-] poems. He revised and revised [-] Tang poems, and added Song lyrics and Yuan operas, barely making up [-] poems.
"Brother Cao, am I not worth a thousand poems in your heart?"
"It's worth it, but I can't do it!"
Cai Zhenji rolled her eyes, [-] songs a day, [-] songs left, you said you can't do it?
"Brother Cao, let me give you some motivation!"
Cai Zhenji walked around Cao Shuo, sat in his arms, and then unbuttoned her clothes.
"Brother Cao, are you getting motivated?"
"Pay in installments, I want to rest now, work and rest!"
Cao Shuo lowered his head and kissed Cai Zhenji's red lips, Cai Zhenji unexpectedly did not dodge.
After a long time, Cao Shuo suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered a poem.
"Zhen Ji, I can only deliver 99 of the remaining [-] poems!"
"Why? My father said, you can't do without one!"
"The last poem is for you, I've already figured it out."
"Really?"
