After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

Chapter 164 Xun You: I Always Feel in the Shadow of Cao Ji

Zhou Yu asked Lu Su: "I ordered you to urge Liu Bei to assassinate Cao Ji, do you have any clues?"

"This?" Lu Su shook his head: "I was in a hurry to report to the governor, but I was negligent!"

"Go to urge Liu Bei tomorrow, and say that I, Zhou Yu, said that Cao Ji will be released within a month, or he will be dealt with by military law!" Zhou Yu slapped his hand heavily on the table after finishing speaking.

"Of order!" Lu Su nodded, and slowly exited the big tent.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath, looked at the letter to the lord Sun Quan on the table, and threw it directly into the brazier in anger.

Early the next morning, Lu Su went to Liu Bei's camp again.

This time, Lu Su stopped drinking, and said bluntly: "Uncle, Kong Ming, the governor issued an ultimatum. If Cao Ji cannot be killed within a month, he will be dealt with by military law!"

When Liu Bei heard this, his face turned cold, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhuge Liang.

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Zijing, Zijing, you must have betrayed us!"

"Me?" Lu Su hesitated to speak, shook his head and sighed, "I didn't say it, but the governor has already guessed it!"

"Hey!" Zhuge Liang sighed, "You, you killed me and my lord!"

"That's all!" Liu Bei waved his hand: "Since the military order has been issued, I will complete this matter quickly!"

Lu Su said, "Uncle Huang, I have something to say. I don't know if I should say it or not?"

Liu Bei said, "Just say it straight!"

Lu Su said: "I heard that Cao Ji is an old man. It is said that he has no wives and concubines. Maybe we can start here!"

Liu Bei shook his head: "It's not for a gentleman to act like this!"

"I'll just say it casually, and the emperor can decide for himself!" Lu Su cupped his hands and signaled.

Liu Bei asked: "Is there such a useful person around Zijing?"

Lu Su said: "I, Jiangdong, have one person who can do this!"

"Oh?" Liu Bei was shocked.

Lu Su said: "She and Cao Cao have a mortal enmity, we can use her hand to kill Cao Ji, maybe it will work!"

"I also ask Zijing to help me!" Liu Bei hastily cupped his hands in salute.

"Okay!" Lu Su nodded: "Uncle Huang arranged for people to enter Jiangxia City early, and wait for my news!"

"Definitely!" Liu Bei cupped his hands: "Whether you can assassinate Cao Ji or not is entirely up to Zijing!"

A few days later, in Jiangxia City.

At this time, Lao Huang held Xiao Huang in the yard and kept sneezing, and was strongly despised by Xiao Huang.

"Old Huang, are you okay? You have been sneezing every day for several days!" Cao Pi asked.

"No big deal!" Lao Huang waved his hand: "I just feel that my ears are hot recently, as if someone is talking about me!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Pi laughed: "Could it be the widow of the village king whose chicken was stolen by you?"

Lao Huang smiled: "Then maybe it's Widow Li!"

Liu Xian interrupted suddenly: "Perhaps that strong man is thinking about your backyard!"

Lao Huang's face suddenly turned cold, and the smile on his face disappeared: "Sir, you are really amazing!"

Liu Xian smiled, and handed a blueprint to Cao Pi: "Go to Daying, give this to your father, and make this thing quickly!"

Cao Pi asked, "Master, what is this?"

Liu Xian explained: "This is an improved catapult, now called a catapult!"

Curious, Cao Pi opened the design drawing of the trebuchet to check, and then sighed: "It's a good thing!"

"Small idea!" Liu Xian said: "Although the catapult used by Guandu has been improved, it is still too heavy. Although the range has been shortened after this improvement, the size and mobility have been improved. After mass production, it can not only be used to defend camps It can also be installed on a warship!"

When Cao Pi cupped his hands: "Master, you are really amazing!"

Liu Xian smiled: "This improvement is due to your teacher's wife, and it's not wrong to count it on me!"

Cao Pi said: "It must be the master's credit!"

"Hahaha!" Liu Xian laughed.

Cao Pi asked again: "Master, are you going to supervise the construction of the trebuchet yourself?"

"No need!" Liu Xian waved his hand: "Tell the Prime Minister that Xun You can supervise the work!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!" Cao Pi cupped his hands and quickly left Liu Xian's small courtyard.

After leaving Jiangxia City, he came all the way to the camp of the Chinese Army, met Cao Cao, and presented the design drawing of the trebuchet.

After Cao Cao saw it, he was very pleased: "With this trebuchet, our army's combat power has been improved again!"

Cao Pi said: "My master invented it, and he also said, let Xun You supervise the work!"

"Okay!" Cao Cao nodded: "You go and hand it over to Xun You, and order him to start arranging this matter!"

"Yes!" Cao Pi nodded, and went to see Xun You with the blueprint.

Xun You looked at the design drawing with a weird expression on his face.

"Sir, what's the problem?" Cao Pi asked.

Xun You shook his head: "Mr. Cao Ji designed this?"

"That's right!" Cao Pi nodded.

"Sure enough, another step faster!" Xun You shook his head.

"How do you say that?" Cao Pi was puzzled.

Xun You said: "I also designed a catapult during the Battle of Guandu, but Mr. Cao Ji's catapult was built before the design was released. This time I wanted to improve the catapult, but I didn't expect Mr. Cao Ji to build a catapult. I feel like I'm living in Mr. Cao Ji's shadow!"

Cao Pi comforted him and said, "A gentleman sees the same thing!"

Xun You grabbed Cao Pi's arm: "Young Master, I heard that Mr. Cao Ji is your master?"

"Yes!" Cao Pi nodded, "That's right!"

Xun You said: "If there is a chance, can you help me arrange the arrangements, I want to talk to Mr. Cao Ji alone, I even have a lot of things I want to say to him!"

Cao Pidu: "I will do my best!"

"Thank you son!" Xun You waved his hands.

"Retire!" Cao Pi returned the salute with his arms folded, and left in a hurry.

Before walking out of the camp, Jiang Gan stopped Cao Pi again.

"Is Mr. Ziyi okay?" Cao Pi asked.

Jiang Gan pulled Cao Pi into a corner: "My lord, I have something to ask!"

"What's the matter?" Cao Pi asked.

Jiang Gan smiled: "I went to the east of the river earlier, and the chances of catching chickens won't be enough. The prime minister said, if Mr. Cao Ji hadn't made a plan, my head would have been lost!"

Cao Pi was shocked: "Could it be that Mr. Ziyi also wants to chat with Mr. Cao Ji?"

Jiang Gan asked, "Is there anyone else besides me?"

Cao Pi said, "Mr. Gongda also wanted to see Mr. Cao Ji just now!"

"That's great!" Jiang Gan smiled: "It's just a matter of setting up a table together, drinking a little wine and listening to music!"

Cao Pi shook his head: "I'm afraid it's not right. Mr. Cao Ji always likes to hide in the city and doesn't like to show his face!"

"I know!" Jiang Gan nodded and said, "But I heard that Mr. Cao Ji has not married yet!"

"It is true!" Cao Pi nodded.

Jiang Gan said in a low voice: "Recently, a friend of mine from Jiangdong came to look for me. He told me that an oiran from Jiangdong has arrived in Jiangxia City. The mother and daughter are so beautiful in the South!"

"Oh?" Cao Pi was shocked: "Or mother and daughter?"

"That's right!" Jiang Gan turned his head and said, "This mother and daughter are amazing. The mother plays the piano well, and the daughter dances the sword well. The mother and daughter complement each other well. There are countless talents in Jiangdong who have spent a lot of money. To be able to see Fangrong, and there are rumors that the mother and daughter are..."

Cao Pi asked, "What is it?"

Chapter 165 Mr. Cao Ji was assassinated, and Jiang Gan was in bad luck

Jiang Gan: "Yes..."

"Say it quickly!" Cao Pi was anxious.

Jiang Gan lowered his voice, leaned into Cao Pi's ear and said, "It's the widow of a certain general!"

Cao Pi nodded: "Chaste and strong girl!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Gan nodded: "Mr. Cao Ji is not interested in this kind of thing?"

"Mr. Cao Ji has a wide range of hobbies, and he is especially kind to women and children. This matter may be possible!" Cao Pi smiled.

Jiang Gan hurriedly said: "I'm all gossip, not many people in Jiangxia City know about it!"

"Understood!" Cao Pi nodded and left the camp with a smile.

After returning to Jiangxia City, Cao Pi told Liu Xian about this while eating hot pot at night.

Liu Xian frowned: "They want to invite Mr. Cao Ji to dinner, what does it have to do with me?"

"Ah this?" Cao Pi was speechless, and then he and Liu Xian looked at Lao Huang who was busy cooking.

Lao Huang raised his head slowly: "You want me to go again?"

Liu Xian shook his head: "You are old, do you still need me to make a decision for you?"

Old Huang: "Then I still don't..."

"Huh?" Liu Xian's expression changed.

Lao Huang put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Then I will not be polite!"

"That's right!" Liu Xian smiled.

"Hahaha!" Cao Pi also laughed.

Only Lao Huang's face was neither yin nor yang, neither happy nor angry, extremely weird.

Now that Lao Huang agreed, Cao Pi immediately set about making arrangements.

After Jiang Gan and Xun You received the news, they were very excited.

Three days later, Jiang Gan booked Huamanlou in Jiangxia City, and went upstairs with Xun You to wait in the private room early in the morning.

At noon, Cao Pi arrived late with Mr. Cao Ji and his little book boy.

Xu Chu and Zhao Yun also came with them. They were dressed in ordinary clothes and stood guard outside the private room.

"Oh, Mr. Cao Ji, you are finally here, my benefactor!" Jiang Gan stepped forward to greet him with a smile.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Old Huang cupped his hands. He was wearing a blue shirt, wearing a lun scarf, and was shaking a feather fan in his hand.

"Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, I finally hoped for you, please take your seat!" Xun You waved his hands.

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Lao Huang cupped his hands again and took his seat first, followed by several others.

Jiang Gan beckoned, and the melodious sound of the piano sounded from behind the screen.

Afterwards, a woman in red with a veil was seen dancing a sword behind a screen.

The swordsmanship is elegant and the posture is like a fairy. Against the background of the screen, it is like a poem and a painting.

The gentlemen looked straight at him.

"Come on, let me toast the three gentlemen!" Cao Pi raised his glass first.

"Please, please!" The three raised their glasses one after another.

After a few glasses of wine, Jiang Gan talked more, talking about Jiangdong for a while, Xudu for a while, and Hebei for a while.

Cao Pi and Xun You frequently answered the conversation, but this Mr. Cao Ji just nodded slightly, making people puzzled.

Jiang Gan said in a low voice: "I heard that Mr. Cao Ji has not married yet, is there such a thing?"
