Chapter 25 Cao Cao: Really Fragrant

A few days ago, Xuchang.

"Liu Bei wants to offer His Majesty the art of natural craftsmanship that can be handed down from generation to generation. Is his head okay?" Cao Cao subconsciously put the bowl in his hand upside down on the dishes after hearing the report.

Donburi, came out unintentionally!

"Prime Minister, will Sun Qian be summoned immediately?" Xun Yu couldn't help asking.

"Of course we have to be summoned." Cao Cao put down his bowl and chopsticks, "Forget it, I don't want to eat it, so I will go to the hall to summon all the civil and military officials to have a look. It is best to call your majesty too, so that everyone Look, what kind of rare treasure is it, Liu Bei boasted about it."

"If it's really a treasure, he Liu Daeru would be willing to give it to me?"

"My lord, this time Sun Qian came here with a gift, and there is a request."

"Let's talk, it's really useless. Tell me about him, Liu Bei, a child who weaves mats and sells shoes. Why can't a dog change his food?"

Cheng Yu sighed, "Master, Liu Bei wants to marry Xu Shu."

"Xu Shu?" Cao Cao suddenly slapped the long table in front of him.

"Oh my God, is that Xu Shu who defeated Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang in Xinye, and also broke Cao Ren's eight-door Golden Lock Formation?"

"Now I don't give me a plan under my account."

"Tell me, can such a person be returned to Liu Bei? He, Xu Shu, can reach an army of 20."

"A daughter is easy to get, but a general is hard to find. Cheng Yu, don't you know this truth?"

Cheng Yu had a helpless look on his face, why did Boss Cao just spout nonsense when he caught someone today, and even implicated him.

"My lord, Sun Gan said, that thing can make the entire Northland, within ten years, more than a million scholars."

"That's impossible." Cao Cao waved his hand violently, "There are so many impoverished families in the world, who have suffered from wars and chaos, and have only settled down for a few years now?"

"Even in the Yuzhou and Yanzhou that I govern, it is impossible for every household to have poems and books to read. People all over the world are busy with farm work. They have to grow crops and eat!"

Afterwards, Cao Cao calmed down.

"Can you really add millions of scholars to the several states in the North that I govern within ten years?"

"Yes." Cheng Yu nodded heavily.

For a moment, Cao Cao's face became serious, "So, I can't refuse Liu Xuande."

"Report...report to the prime minister. A group of civil servants gathered outside the gate of the mansion, all asking for orders. The prime minister received Sun Qian as soon as possible, agreed to Liu Bei's request, and announced this thing to the world, so that the Han Dynasty can prosper."

Cao Cao stood up abruptly, "It's the other way around, are they wanting a palace?"

"Prime Minister, it seems that Liu Bei in the city is behind the scenes, making troubles in the dark, and that Sun Gan is dishonest. After arriving in Xuchang, he sent a gift to each mansion."

"Hmph." Cao Cao snorted coldly, "Liu Bei, you dare to mess with the court."

"In this way, it will be even more impossible for me to give Xu Shu to him. The bigger the trouble he makes, it proves that Xu Shu is more important to him. I will definitely not let Xu Shu go as an enemy."

"Let's go and meet Sun Qian. I want to see what he can do when he blows up the skill of the day like a flower."

An hour later, Cao Cao held Liu Fengzhi, whose ink was still wet, in shock.

"This thing can help me pass on my orders to the states and counties. The paper is high-quality and cheap. It can also print a large number of books. With the money and food of the court, it will be turned into millions of books. Within ten years, it will support millions of students in the North."

"Great goodness."

Cao Cao glanced at the Son of Heaven, "Your Majesty, this thing is due to the merits of the country, so it should be granted the title of Marquis. However, the emperor's uncle, Liu Bei, please order his daughter-in-law, Sun, to be named the Marquis of Jiangling. I think that the title of Marquis of Jiangling should be given to Liu Feng."

"The prime minister is right."

Cao Cao is not stupid, the paper you Liu Bei sent is called Liu Fengzhi, and you still want to canonize Sun Shangxiang, so as to curry favor with Soochow?

Hehe, in front of my wise Cao, you are wishful thinking.

"Purpose."

Just as Liu Xie looked helplessly at the minister next to him, a messenger rushed into the hall quickly.

"Report...report to the prime minister that Nanjun fell, and General Cao Ren was captured alive for Liu Bei. Liu Bei said that he wanted General Cao Ren to exchange for Xu Yuanzhi."

"What?" Hearing this, the faces of all the civil and military officials in the hall changed.

Liu Xie suppressed his smile, looked at Cao Cao with a gloomy face, and then at Sun Qian in the hall, his smile subsided and turned into worry.

You, Liu Bei, have already sent envoys, and if you dare to arrest Cao Cao's general, aren't you afraid that he will tear up the ticket of Sun Gan in the palace first?

"Sun Qian, this is Liu Xuande's confidence in exchanging Xu Shu." Cao Cao snorted coldly, instead of the thunder and rage that the officials imagined, he looked at Sun Qian coldly, and his tone was very calm.

"Reporting to the Prime Minister, it is indeed so." Sun Gan was neither humble nor overbearing, bowing his hands slightly, his eyes squinted, as if he might fall asleep at any moment.

"You are happy, tell me, how to trade."
