Chapter 914
Yilang Wu Shuo led the golden Yue guards to Xu Duwei's residence soon.

Xu Duwei's residence was originally the prison in Xu County.Since the emperor moved away, the housing in the city has suddenly become tense. Xu Duling, an official of this level, can only build a brick and wooden house in front of the prison.Those who work here can often hear the cries and howls of the prisoners next door.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as Wu Shuo stepped into the room, he felt chills all over his body, as if there were countless pairs of eyes peeping at him in the darkness around him.He settled down, took a deep breath, and suddenly a voice sounded next to his ear: "Wu Yilang, are you all right?"

Immediately Wu Shuo saw Xi Zhicai's ominous face, but Wu Shuo didn't want to deal with Xi Zhicai: he knew this guy's tricks very well, so he didn't greet politely, he held up the imperial edict in his hand and said, "I serve the heavens." The order of the son, come to rectify Xu Duwei, I don't know where Master Cao is?"

Xi Zhicai is only Cao Jing'an's meritorious service. Although Cao Cao holds him in high esteem, his official position is not high.More importantly, Xu Duwei is not under his command at all, what is he doing here?
"Wu Yilang has worked hard, and this humble job is here." A clear voice came, and Wu Shuo finally saw Cao Tai.In fact, this was also the first time he saw Cao Ren's eldest son.

However, at the first meeting, Wu Shuo had a very uneasy feeling about this Cao Tai: it wasn't that Cao Tai was too ugly, but that he shouldn't be Xu Duling at all.

Cao Tai in front of him is a beautiful boy of seventeen or eighteen years old. He has a handsome face that completely reverses yin and yang. Its existence seems to be a mockery of creation. When you see this face, you will not realize it. Sigh—how could this be a man?

But the more this was the case, the more uneasy Wu Shuo became. Seeing Cao Tai's dimpled smiling face and his pure and unstained silk robe, Wu Shuo could imagine how this young man tortured those enemies with his enthusiasm for himself. ——This is a character with a warm face and a cold heart, and he has not yet reached the age of weak crown!
Gathering his mind, Wu Shuo swallowed involuntarily, and said, "I was ordered to come here to rectify the guards of Xudu. I hope Mr. Cao can cooperate."

Cao Tai bowed his head and said respectfully: "The court order, you should obey it." He slowly raised his eyes, and the two looked at each other, tacitly understanding each other.

At this time, Xi Zhicai also stood up and said with a smile: "Since Wu Yilang has something to do, I have already settled the matter with General Cao, so I won't bother you."

After all, he went straight away, and what seemed to be left to Wu Shuo was that harmless smile.

However, Wu Shuo, who came here with a passion, couldn't help smiling after seeing these two ominous smiles suddenly.However, facing Cao Tai's enthusiasm, he had to fake a smile, but in his heart, he began to plan.

Xudu's court was in a delicately awkward position: no one would pay attention to the emperor's orders, but no one would publicly refuse to carry them out.How to respond to the imperial edict depends entirely on the political choices and struggles of various forces.

For example, when the emperor appointed Yuan Shao as Taiwei, Yuan Shao would flatly refuse and denounce Cao Cao as ungrateful; it wasn't until the court changed his name to make him a general that he turned his anger into joy and happily "kowtowed for the grace of heaven".

Now that the imperial power department has taken the initiative to invite Xu Duwei to be the main guard, it is actually bowing down to the Cao family.Since Shang Shutai acquiesced in this approach, Cao Tai naturally didn’t have to disobey orders—but it didn’t mean obediently obeying orders. After all, although the official position was promoted, Xu Duwei was transferred to the old guard, but his strength was weakened .Cao Tai belonged to Mingsheng and secretly descending. It is hard to say whether he will agree or not.

And if he wanted to refuse, he had to be very particular about how to measure it.

Therefore, Wu Shuo didn't speak again, but just looked behind Cao Tai.The row of Xu Duwei's officials behind him seemed to have been notified long ago, and they were here to welcome the emperor's envoys.But whether it was intentional or not, these officials were all old and frail and lifeless, and none of the operatives who were feared in the dark night showed up.

I don't know if this is a show of weakness or a demonstration.Or is it that Cao Tai is telling him vaguely that Xu Duwei is no longer capable?
Sure enough, after Wu Shuo was silent for a while, Cao Tai took out a roster from his arms and handed it to him.

"Since Xu Duwei eliminated the mission of assassination and rape, there are only 2000 city guards and 86 people in prison. I don't know how Wu Yilang plans to start?"

It seems that the other party came prepared, Wu Shuo secretly sighed: The task of assassinating rape can be said to have never been in the hands of Xu Duling.In the past, the Pan Snake Camp was in charge, and it was attached to Xu Duling.Later, when Jing'an Cao was established, the function of assassination and rape was completely separated. At the same time, after Xu Duling lost this important function, naturally there were not many people left.

Wu Shuo understood what Cao Tai meant, and it seemed that Cao Tai didn't want to accept the edict easily.But this was exactly what Yang Biao expected, so Wu Shuo didn't take the brochure, and pushed it with a smile: "Since Mr. Cao made Xu Ling, he has achieved outstanding results. The athletes under his command are as good as his arms, and he has his own rules. How can I be good?" Presumptuously speaking."

The two played against each other quietly for a round, testing each other's bottom line and courage.

Wu Shuo's refusal to accept the roster was vaguely stating that he had no intention of using imperial power to suppress Cao Tai.This is very good. After Cao Tai smiled again, his face became really enthusiastic: "But the emperor's order is hard to violate. If Master Wu doesn't transfer some personnel, how can he fulfill the emperor's order?"

After hearing this sentence, Wu Shuo ordered the twenty golden battle guards to leave the room and wait at the door.When Cao Tai saw this, he waved back the officials behind him.At this time, Wu Shuo really laughed, and said: "In fact, there is Mr. Cao in Xu Duwei, so why should we rectify it? On the contrary, it's Suwei's group of useless wastes, they are really clumsy." He grabbed Cao Tai's clothes Sleeve, deliberately lowered his voice: "Xun Lingjun means that Xu Duwei's rectification is just for show. In fact, he wants to use your methods, Mr. Cao, to temper and temper the guards."

Although this rectification was proposed by Dong Cheng and promoted by Sanqing, it would not have been possible without Xun Shangshu's acquiescence.Wu Shuo specifically proposed Xun Yu, just hoping to be more convincing.

But Wu Shuo did not expect that Cao Tai would actually say: "Master Wu, let me tell you clearly. The struggle of the next generation of the Cao family is very fierce. I wanted to go to the battlefield to make contributions, but I am trapped here. Even if I work hard , but the credit is not obvious. And now, you want to transfer so many people under my command, what should I do?"

"Hey, why is Mr. Cao so ignorant?" To Cao Tai's surprise, Wu Shuo laughed out loud when he heard this, and said, "How can Mr. Cao be so ignorant of the overall situation? Xu Du Wei is currently guarding Xu Du Now that the emperor's order is issued, you naturally have to obey it. But the emperor's order also said that General Niu Jin was transferred to the guard. If you explain the situation, then General Cao Ren would not bring more troops into the guard. Xu Du, in this way, you only need to ask your father to give General Niu a hint, how can General Niu's subordinates disobey Mr. Cao's orders?"

"This... I'm afraid there is something wrong?"

"Of course, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well. But Xu Duling has a great responsibility and is short of manpower. It is also a fact. Why don't you follow the emperor's order today, and then after your majesty's condition improves, write to your majesty to send General Niu Jin's guard Enrich Xu Duling?"

Cao Tai looked at Wu Shuo with distrust still showing on his face.From this, Wu Shuo went further: "Forget it, it's also my fault that your father brought too many troops to the expedition before. At this time, I will write a memorial, asking Your Majesty to agree with General Cao Ren to send two thousand troops back to Xudu. 500 people will be charged. Suwei, how about 500 people to supplement Xu Duwei's shortfall?"

"That's exactly what I said, please trouble Master Wu to write." After speaking, Cao Tai took out the paper and ink that he had prepared a long time ago, and looked at Wu Shuo with a bright smile.And Wu Shuo shook his head helplessly, writing like a god, and soon wrote a letter for Cao Tai to read.

Afterwards, things were much easier. Wu Shuo picked up Xu Duwei's roster, selected 1000 people, and left contentedly.It's just that no one knew that when he left, there was an unstoppable smile on his face.

After Wu Shuo left, Cao Tai also had an inexplicable smile on his face.Until a voice sounded behind him:
"Young Master Cao, your acting skills are getting better and better."

"If it wasn't for Master Xi's guidance, how could Yu'er be willing to bite the hook?" Cao Tai turned his head, only to see Xi Zhi with a calm face before returning, or more precisely, he never left at all.
