Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 216 Yuan Shu's letter, what kind of trouble is he going to make? [Double ask for a monthly ticket and ask for a subscription]

After the banquet is over.

Among the side halls and other courtyards, only a group of core figures with the surnames Cao and Xiahou remained.

When everyone saw Cao Ang leading a tall, strong and handsome young man coming quickly, they couldn't help being curious for a while.

It's just not waiting for Cao Cao to ask questions.

Cao Hong, who was mixed in the crowd, suddenly came out of the crowd, and exclaimed even more.

"Wen Lie, is it Wen Lie?"

Hearing someone calling his name, Cao Xiu was stunned for a moment, then opened his eyes wide, carefully identifying the man who was walking towards him quickly.

Two or three seconds after a little recollection.

Cao Xiu suddenly woke up.

He also greeted him with quick steps, walked around Cao Hong, and even bowed down to worship him.

"Hugh and meet uncle!"

The fathers of Cao Hong and Cao Xiu are brothers, and the relationship between the two will obviously be closer.

When the Kanto was in turmoil and the Cao clan was scattered in various places, the Cao Hong brothers fled together at first, so Cao Hong could still remember Cao Xiu's appearance.

But Cao Cao and others who were standing aside realized that this young man was also a nephew in the family after hearing the two uncles and nephews reminiscing about the old days.

Immediately they gathered around.

Among them, Cao Operation is a direct descendant of the Cao clan's great clan, and he can still memorize some important men for several generations in each house.

So after looking at Cao Hong and remembering a little bit, Cao Cao showed a kind smile on his face, and asked with a somewhat elder-spirited smile.

"Wen Lie, if I remember correctly, you are a child of Ziqian's family, how is your father now?"

Cao Xiu first bowed to Cao Cao.

After calling him uncle respectfully.

Only then did he reply with a slightly sad look on his face: "After parting ways with Uncle Zilian in Xiapi, my father took our family and lived in Jiangdu County for a while."

"It's just that my father contracted the disease later, and the doctors in the city were helpless. Not long after, my father passed away due to illness."

"The nephew was worried that his mother would be hurt if he stayed in the old place, so he took the whole family across the river to Wu County, and has been living in Wu County ever since."

……

After hearing Cao Xiu say that his father had passed away.

A few traces of compassion flashed across everyone's faces, and Cao Cao reached out and patted Cao Xiu's shoulder.

Full of gentle reassurance: "Since you have come here, you will treat this place as your own home from now on. Everyone here is basically your uncle and elder, so you don't have to be restrained when you encounter problems in the future."

at the same time.

As Cao Cao's voice fell.

Cao Ang also took a step forward at the right time, grabbed Cao Xiu's arm with one hand, and said to Cao Cao with a smile.

"Wen Lieyuan is in Wu Jun. Ever since he heard the news of your father's attack on Dong Zhuo, he brought his family and his family all the way here. It took several months. During the journey, it was difficult to climb mountains and ridges!"

After listening to his son's description.

Cao Cao nodded again and again full of emotion.

"Wu Jun is far away from Yangzhou, and it is really thousands of miles away from here. Wen Lie can turn all the way here, it will be a thousand miles away for my Cao family!"

The tacit understanding between Cao Cao and Cao Ang was astonishing, and both father and son gave Cao Xiu the evaluation of "Thousand Li Horse".

On the contrary, Cao Xiu, who was always cheerful, smiled a little embarrassedly, and stood there scratching his head.

……

After exchanging a few pleasantries.

Cao Cao suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something.

He patted his forehead lightly with his right hand, and then hurriedly waved to the crowd.

"Zixiao, what are you doing hiding there, come and meet your nephew!"

Following Cao Cao's greeting.

A tall and mighty burly man stepped out, with rough eyebrows and a beard growing on his chin, making him look very fierce.

It's just that he looks very young.

At a glance, it is not much bigger than Cao Ang.

When the man came to the front and back, Cao Cao first patted Cao Ang's arm, and introduced with a smile on his face: "This is my son Xiu. You have seen him before. I don't know if you recognize him as an uncle now?"

After saying a word with a smile.

Cao Cao turned around and introduced Cao Ang again.

"Ang'er, this is your uncle Zixiao. His single name is Ren. He is also Zihe's elder brother."

"I have been living in the Huaisi area before, and I planned to come here earlier, but when I received the news of raising troops for my father, I still led a group of troops, and many problems have not been properly resolved."

"Until a few days ago, your uncle Zixiao led three thousand soldiers and horses to Jinxiang County, ready to help me."

……

With the introduction of the father.

Only then did Cao Ang suddenly realize it.

So this buddy is Cao Ren!

That is to say, the fierce man who is called Cao Wei Iron Wall, who is good at attacking and defending, and the enemy who fights against the city and consumes energy for two or three months can hardly make any progress.

When Cao Chun came to join him before.

Cao Ang once asked when his elder brother Cao Ren would come, but Cao Chun said at that time that Cao Ren was gathering his soldiers in the Huaisi area, so it would take a while.

It was a coincidence.

Except for some scattered and leftover Cao family's children, the two most important capable generals in the Cao family all arrived at this time.

It can be regarded as spelling out the entire clan territory.

After listening to my father's introduction.

As a junior, Cao Ang saluted Cao Ren first, and said respectfully.

"My nephew has seen my uncle, but I haven't seen him for a long time, but my uncle is still as heroic as before."

Facing Cao Ang's flattery.

Cao Ren didn't even dare.

While cupping his hands and fists in return to Cao Ang, he said with a smile on his face and admiration in his tone.

"On the way back from Jinxiang County, I've already heard from Zihe that Zixiu is a talent from heaven, with both civil and martial arts, wisdom and courage, and he can be regarded as a unicorn born in my Cao family."

"Seeing you today, it really lives up to the name, what Fang Zhizihe said is true!"

Cao Ren was not stingy with his compliments.

Directly came to a set of business exchanges with Cao Ang.

The two uncles and nephews were holding each other like a hype, and the scene was extremely harmonious for a while.

Only Cao Cao and others on the side looked happy and kept stroking their beards.

……

This small gathering composed of the Cao and Xiahou clans lasted for about half an hour, and then left one after another.

Only Cao Cao and his son were left in the side hall.

After seeing everyone left and right.

Only then did Cao Ang stand up and stretched, looking quite relaxed.

"Father, things are over here. My son plans to take people back to Dingtao County in the next few days, and then go from Dingtao to Dongjun Puyang."

Originally, because of the arrival of the clan's children, the number of trustworthy people under him became stronger and stronger, and Cao Cao was quite gratified and delighted.

After hearing his son speak like this.

The joy on his face instantly submerged.

It was replaced by a few strands of gloom.

He was naturally reluctant to leave Cao Ang and go to the local government alone, but this was something that their father and son had discussed before.

So after a moment of darkening his expression, Cao Cao still nodded and said, "Okay, you can arrange things yourself, and be careful when you get there. If you need to help your father, don't hide it."

Feel the care in your father's words.

A slight smile appeared on Cao Ang's face.

Then he said abruptly: "Father, there is one more thing I want to tell you. Uncle Zixiao, I am also planning to take him to Dongjun. You don't need to arrange an official position for him here."

……

"Ok?"

Cao Cao first blinked his eyes in a daze.

Then he reacted.

He couldn't help pointing Cao Ang with his hand, and at the same time scolded with a smile: "You brat, it's only been a few days since your uncle Zixiao came here, and my father hasn't warmed him up yet, so you begged for it again?"

There was no sense of blame in Cao Cao's words. Aren't the people under his command the same as those under his son's command? The power of father and son is common.

Now it's just a few jokes.

After Cao Ang heard his father laughing and scolding, he hurriedly cupped his hands and begged for mercy.

"Father, you're not bad, my boy, didn't you bring our Cao family's thousand-mile horse?"

"It just so happens that I will also take away my son and uncle. The cavalry battalion under your command is short of competent officers, and now Wen Lie will fill them in."

"With his ability to travel thousands of miles from Wu County to Shanyang County, he must have practiced for a few years before he can lead the cavalry on his own."

Cao Cao nodded happily when he heard this.

He quite agrees with Cao Ang's point of view. He likes Cao Xiu at first glance. The only flaw at present is that he is too young and his seniority is not high.

Therefore, it will take a few years to re-entrust with important tasks.

……

Perhaps it was because of the consideration that after the son went to Dongjun, it would be inconvenient for the father and son to communicate.

So Cao Cao simply came up with several things one after another, and wanted to take advantage of Cao Ang's last time before leaving Changyi County to make a basic decision on these things.

It's not that Cao Cao's advisers, such as Chen Gong, cannot be used.

Instead, Cao Cao habitually discussed with his son and listened to Cao Ang's suggestions, so that he had a solid understanding of these matters.

Among them is the Yanzhou mine development business.

After completely accepting Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan County, the many resources in Taishan County naturally let Cao Cao intervene.

According to the information provided by Cao Ang.

Most of the minerals in Yanzhou are concentrated in Taishan County, and of course they are mainly charcoal and iron.

Cao Cao next planned to take over the official iron mines and organize manpower to mine those undiscovered mines.

After obtaining resources.

Then transport back to the central base camp.

And it includes a large amount of minerals that need to be transported to Dongjun and allocated to his son Cao Ang.

In addition, there are a series of issues such as food production in the army, the continued acquisition of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban, and preparations for the formation of a new army.

We discussed back and forth for more than an hour.

Just decided on a basic charter.

And when the matter was almost discussed, Cao Ang was about to say goodbye to his father and leave.

Cao Cao suddenly took out a brocade and silk letter from a pile of slips on the table.

"Ang'er, there is one last thing. This is a letter from Nanyang County, written by General Yuan Shu, please read it first."

……

Hear this long-lost name.

Cao Ang immediately raised his eyebrows.

What does the big skeleton king want to do?
While taking the silk book from his father, Cao Ang asked casually.

"Father, has Yuan Shu been staying in Nanyang County since the coalition forces that attacked Dong Zhuo were disbanded?"

Cao Cao nodded.

"During this period of time, Yanzhou has been in turmoil. Regarding the affairs of other states and counties, my father doesn't know much about it. I only know that Yuan Shu has been entrenched in Nanyang County."

"Together with his general Sun Jian, they seem to be fighting with the local family in Nanyang County and the rest of Jingzhou's counties."

"However, the situation should not be very good. Otherwise, with his temperament, it is impossible to stay in the northern part of Nanyang and not continue to swallow the entire Jingzhou south."

After knowing a general situation.

Cao Ang nodded slightly.

Then the silk scroll was opened.

There are not many words on it, only a few lines of eloquence, and the amount of information is pitifully small.

Therefore, at a glance, it has been seen through.

……

"laugh!"

Just after reading this letter, Cao Ang couldn't help but sneered, and his face was full of mocking smiles.

"Father, am I not mistaken, this Yuan Gonglu actually threatened our father and son with words in the letter?"

That's right, Yuan Shu only wrote one thing.

That is to threaten Cao Cao.

Warn him not to get too close to Yuan Shao after he wins Yanzhou, otherwise he may be regarded as an enemy by himself and be severely hit by him.

In the letter, between the lines, it is full of condescension, blunt and blatant, without the slightest concealed threat, it seems full of arrogance.

It seems that Yuan Shu was showing mercy by warning the threat in advance instead of directly leading troops to destroy Cao Cao.

In this regard.

Cao Ang was really powerless to complain.

No, buddy, what are you pretending to be?

Those who don’t know, thought that you already dominated the four directions, watching the world as a tiger, and you can kill whoever is unhappy. After all, you are still a war scum.

……

Don't look at Yuan Shu's many soldiers and food, and his strength.

But Cao Ang is still true to him.

If Yuan Shao was placed in Yuan Shu's position and the resources were equal, Cao Ang might really have to pay attention to such a threat.

But Yuan Shu really couldn't do it.

It's not that Cao Ang belittled him.

It's that this guy's combat effectiveness is really poor.

With the same strength, other people may be able to exert a one-to-one combat effectiveness, or even a higher ratio.

Yuan Shu can't do it.

With an army of [-] in his hands, the combat power has to be discounted. I don't know if it is because there are no famous generals under his command, or because he is not very good at strategy and tactics.

In short, when it comes to fighting, it is Yuan Shu's shortcoming.

Although his father, Cao Cao, was not a top battlefield commander in the late Han Dynasty, if he was facing Yuan Shu, he could beat three of him.

These are all historically proven.

Therefore, Cao Ang didn't care about Yuan Shu's straightforward threat in this letter.

Even contempt and ridicule.

Just the opposite of the son.

Cao Cao, who didn't know much about Yuan Shu's background, was faintly worried.
