The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 284: The Hint of Lao Cao’s Gift of the Knife

"Of course I'll remember, if I beat the Prime Minister."

"From now on, I will just lie down at home and receive my salary."

"If you can't defeat the Prime Minister, you will have to come to the government office to serve from tomorrow onwards."

"Now the game is a draw, but I lost the bet."

"Besides, I'm playing black first, so I'm actually at an advantage."

"I will keep my promise and go to the appointment tomorrow morning."

As Lou Gui spoke, he stood up and put on his shoes.

Seeing this, Cao Cao raised his hand and said:

"Don't worry, if you really don't like being constrained."

"It's okay if you don't come, but you have to promise me one thing."

Hearing this, Lou Gui also stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cao Cao also stroked his beard and said calmly, "You traveled to Guanxi in your early years."

"If one day I go on a western expedition, you must accompany me and give me advice."

Lou Gui hesitated for a moment and said:
"Okay, I'll admit defeat."

Then he bowed and left with a sigh.

As soon as he reached the door, he suddenly saw the chief clerk Yang Xiu holding several files.

I rushed in in a panic and almost bumped into him.

"What's going on?" Lou Gui was also shocked at this time.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiu also held up the file and replied:
"There is an urgent military report, Bingzhou Tai..."

Before he finished speaking, Cao Cao asked:
"Taiyuan tyrant Shang Yao raised an army to rebel."

Yang Xiu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped to the ground: "How did the Prime Minister know this?"

"Not only do I know that Shang Yao is rebelling."

"We also know that Ma Chao is trying to win over the Lantian tyrant Liu Xiong to join in the rebellion."

As Cao Cao spoke, he also glanced at Kong Gui with a smile.

"The horse has no father or king and harbors evil intentions."

"Tell the generals in Guanzhong that his father has received an imperial edict."

"I want him to raise an army and be loyal to the prince and his subjects."

"In fact, Ma Teng revised the book several times."

"Everyone told him to put the family first and not act recklessly!"

As he spoke, he pulled out two silk books from his arms and threw them hard on the ground.

Kong Gui was shocked when he heard this!
How come Prime Minister Cao was able to get his hands on the letters between the Ma father and son?
Sima De remained silent throughout the whole process.

At this moment, he was secretly laughing in his heart, thinking that Kong Gui was making a fuss out of nothing.

Boss Cao has a group of henchmen in the school affairs office.

Even the actions of hundreds of officials in Beijing could not be hidden from his eyes and ears.

What do a few letters mean?
And what my father-in-law wants is to scare this person.

Ask him to recognize his position.

Don't try to play both sides like everyone else in Kansai.

Such profound skills in controlling subordinates are truly amazing.

When Yang Xiu heard that the Prime Minister had already made preparations, he also came to his senses and asked:

"Then, Prime Minister."

"How should we deal with the Taiyuan incident?"

Cao Cao also said with disdain:

"Why are you so nervous? I secretly sent Xiahou Yuan and Zhang He yesterday."

"Lead troops to Bingzhou to quell the rebellion."

"And I also sent a letter to Cao Ren."

"Tell him to lead his troops north to prepare to support Zhong Yao."

"Ma wants to catch me off guard, so I'll use his own trick against me!"

Kong Gui heard this and took the opportunity to come forward and say:
"The Prime Minister is truly a master of foresight, he is like a god in the world!"

"Ma Chao is an arrogant boy, Han Sui is a dull old dog."

"How can I be your opponent?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Cao laughed and casually took off the sword from his waist.

Untie the Kuroko belt that was exquisitely carved and inlaid with beautiful jade.

He stuffed it into his hand and said, "You have done a good job, so this is a reward for you!"

This type of belt originally belonged to the northern Huns, Xianbei and other Hu peoples.

A leather belt worn.

There are hooks on it for hanging swords and knives. After it was introduced to the Central Plains, the Han people modified it a lot.

Something inlaid with beautiful jade and gems.

Because only scholars can wear swords.

Therefore, Kuroko has become a symbol of identity among the Han people.

But Kong Gui was born a slave, how could he have used this thing?

Moreover, since Prime Minister Cao personally gave it to him, he was deeply moved. Wiping his tears, he knelt down and said:
"I will never forget the Prime Minister's great kindness!"

"Not to mention this life, even in the next life, I will serve the Prime Minister like a slave."

From his words, he had already claimed to be a member of Cao's camp.

Cao Cao had just told his son to be careful with flattery.

But this time I was also quite flattered by this trick.

At this moment, he could not help but say with great pride:

"What's so exciting about such a small matter?"

"If you can make new achievements, endless wealth and glory will be waiting for you in the future!"

"It is true that the Guanxi generals are plotting a rebellion. You can leave now."

"Go back and keep an eye on the movements of the two thieves Ma and Han for me."

"If there is any news, please inform me immediately."

"Yes, I will definitely live up to the Prime Minister's trust!"

Kong Gui bowed and held the Kuoluo belt high in both hands.

It was like holding up the ancestral tablet.

Sima De couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

Now that Boss Cao no longer had his kolo belt, he naturally had no place to hang the precious sword at his waist.

At this time, he also held the knife and glanced at his son Cao Zhang.

He threw it to him and said:

"Since you intend to lead the troops as the vanguard."

"I, your father, have bestowed upon you this precious sword."

"To strengthen your ambition!"

Cao Zhang was also overjoyed when he heard this!

"Thank you for the reward, father!"

Then he steadily caught the violent knife and pulled it out slightly to observe it.

There was a tiger carved on the handle of the knife, and the blade was shining with cold light.

Although the style of this knife is unremarkable, it is very heavy and weighs heavily on the wrist.

"This is the Baipi Knife that was made last year under the supervision of the forger Han Ji."

"There are five swords in total: dragon, tiger, bear, leopard, and jackal."

"I will reward whoever among you brothers has made contributions."

"In this battle, your father needs to give you some instructions."

"If you continue to play around like you did before, you won't be brave and reckless."

"When on the battlefield, you need to assess the situation and think carefully before you can achieve success."

Cao Zhang also said sincerely upon hearing this:

"Thank you for your teachings, father. I have learned a lot!"

Cao Cao then sat down, stroking his thigh and said:

"This Han Ji is a capable man."

"He improved the blowing method last year, using water rafts instead of horse rafts and human rafts."

"Not only does it save livestock, but it also makes iron smelting much better than before."

"Otherwise, how could there be such a precious sword that has been tempered through thousands of hammers?"

"I gave you the knife today just to tell you."

"Power is like holding a knife. The decision of life and death is just a matter of thought."

"So we should be extremely careful!"

"I also hope that you can be as skilled in dealing with people as a knife, and be honed over and over again."

Cao Cao was well aware of what Cao Zhang and Sima De had done in recent days.

I just hope Cao Zhang can learn more from Sima De.

It also implies that it was Sima De and his son who were the ones holding the knife.

Be at ease and help them achieve great things, and never have any second thoughts!
Also remember to help Cao Zhang when he makes a mistake.

But this is just a matter of doing what you say.

The two of them wondered whether they understood the meaning of this.

Cao Cao himself was not sure.

So at this time he didn't look at his own Huang Xuer.

But he was staring straight at his son-in-law.

How could Sima De not understand his father-in-law's intentions?

At this time, he bowed and said, "Father-in-law is right!"

"I believe that Ziwen will be able to achieve great success soon after learning from this."

Cao Cao smiled and twirled his beard when he heard this.

I just think it's easier to talk to smart people.

She admired her virtuous son-in-law more and more.
