Chapter 1390 Make him stronger first
I have always heard that Cao Ruo was arrogant, but Xun Chen did not expect that he was arrogant to this extent.
"Young Master said it." In front of Cao Shu, Xun Chen did not dare to contradict him, so he had to respond.
"Mr. Xun came to vote for me, did you bring anything?" Cao Shuo smiled and asked Xun Chen.
Xun Chen was stunned by his question and asked in surprise: "Young Master means..."
"Mr. Xun came from Yuan Shang, and I always had to bring something before I dared to use it." Cao Shuo maintained a calm smile on his face.
Xun Chen suddenly realized and hurriedly said to Cao Shu: "I came to see the eldest son this time, and I really brought some gifts."
"What did Mr. Xun bring?" Cao Shuo asked with his back.
"I brought Hebei to the young master." Xun Chen said, "I just don't know if the young master is willing to ask for it."
"Forget it in Hebei." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "I only want Qingzhou."
"Qingzhou is under Yuan Tan's rule, and now he has joined the Cao family." Xun Chen asked, "Does the young master still plan to seize Qingzhou from him?"
Looking at Xun Chen with his back, Cao Shu asked, "Mr. Xun, tell me the truth. How many times has Yuan Tan really taken the lead in the Cao family?"
He was stunned by Cao Shu's questioning for a moment, and Xun Chen hesitated and said, "It's true that I don't think Yuan Tan is even sincere."
He looked at Xun Chen with his head tilted, and Cao Shu asked, "Why did Mr. Xun say that?"
"Hebei has always been controlled by the Yuan family." Xun Chen said: "When the Yuan family was as powerful as a rainbow, they had several states and hundreds of thousands of armored men under their command. Who should I take seriously? Now that the Yuan family is in decline, Yuan Tan will definitely not be willing to do so. He always wants to revitalize the Yuan family, so how could he really serve others?"
"Mr. Xun and I have the same view." Cao Shuo said: "Since Yuan Tan has not been sincere in his support, we will urge him to rebel."
"Young Master plans..." Xun Chen asked in surprise.
"Mr. Xun goes to help Yuan Tan." Cao Shuo said: "Assist him to defeat Yuan Shang, and after defeating Yuan Shang, he will help him gather the remaining soldiers. Once there are enough troops under his command, Yuan Tan's ambition will definitely be revealed. At that time, I will have the opportunity to take Qingzhou, and Mr. Xun will also make a great contribution."
"I understand what the young master means." Xun Chen said: "I'll go to Nanpi now."
"Mr. Xun can help Yuan Tan recruit the army, but don't instigate him to be enemies with the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "Whether Yuan Tan rebelled or not depends on his original intention. What Mr. Xun wants to do is to make him stronger and to have the idea of being enemies with the Cao family."
"I understand!" Xun Chen bowed and said, "Please wait for my news."
"Come." Cao Shu shouted outside the door.
Deng Zhan pushed open the door and walked in.
Cao Shu asked him: "How many good men are there with them?"
"There are 200 guards around the young master." Deng Zhan replied: "Everyone is a good player. General Zhu and I will lead together."
"Select twenty people for Xun Gong." Cao Shuo said: "If you want the most skilled martial arts, Xun Gong will have great uses."
"I'll do it now." Deng Zhan retreated in response.
Xun Chen asked Cao Shu in surprise: "Young Master plans to draw guards from me?"
"Although the guards around me are not as famous as the Dragon Pattern Knight, everyone is an elite." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Twenty people were transferred to Xun Gong, so that if necessary, you can protect Xun Gong and escape."
Cao Shu had already considered these things, and Xun Chen couldn't help but feel moved.
He bowed to Cao Shuo with his fists and thanked him, "Thank you, my son, for your care, I will do my best!"
After Xun Chen withdrew, Cao Shu asked Zhu Ao to invite Tian Feng and Chen Gong.
Not long after, the two of them came to the study.
After seeing Cao Shuo, Tian Feng asked, "Young Master asked us to come. Is there any important thing?"
"Xun Chen is here, do you know?" Cao Shu asked.
"I heard it." Tian Feng asked again: "Honor, did you arrange for him to do something?"
"What else can he do?" Cao Shuo said: "I asked him to help Yuan Tan achieve great things."
Tian Feng and Chen Gong looked at each other, and both of them showed a sudden look.
"Young Master wants to make Yuan Tan strong first and give him more confidence to turn against the Cao family." Chen Gong said: "The young master will be able to enter Qingzhou and cut off Yuan Tan's retreat in one fell swoop."
"Actually, I still hope Yuan Tan will not rebel against the Cao family." Cao Shuo said: "Anyway, he is the eldest brother of my eldest wife. Once he rebels against the Cao family, he may not be able to save his life."
"Young Master is kind-hearted, but the descendants of the Yuan family really cannot stay." Chen Gong said: "If you stay, it may cause endless trouble to you."
"Where are the young descendants of the Yuan family?" Cao Shu asked, "Can't you stay?"
"I think the three Yuan Tan brothers can be killed." Tian Feng sighed softly and said, "As for the other descendants of the Yuan family, can the young master keep them..."
"When Yuan Hao said this, he must have felt very uncomfortable." Cao Shuo said: "After all, you have been in the Yuan family for many years. If you don't have any old feelings, then you will no longer be Yuan Hao."
"Young Master is saying," Tian Feng replied: "Although I am no longer in the Yuan family, the Cao and Yuan families are now competing for Hebei. As a staff member around the young master, I should have killed the Yuan family with all my heart. But when I thought that the Yuan family would destroy the clan, I felt a little uncomfortable."
"I won't kill everyone in the Yuan family. Only Yuan Tan, Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang are the only ones who will die." Cao Shuo stood up and walked to the window. He looked up at the sky and said, "Actually, Yuan Shang and I have a good personal relationship. He sent the eldest lady to Xudu at the beginning. Thinking about it, after a few years, things have changed. Once a brother is called, but now he has to meet each other and never dies."
Neither Tian Feng nor Chen Gong said anything.
Both of them knew that Cao Shuo was not feeling well after destroying the Yuan family.
Yuan Shao treated Cao Shu well at the time and even married his beloved daughter to him.
But now, Cao Shuo, who really promoted the demise of the Yuan family, is actually the most important part of it...
Anyone with a conscience will not feel happy when encountering the same thing.
However, Cao Shu had no choice. Wars were never ending. If he didn't kill the Yuan brothers, the Yuan brothers would kill him.
After all, some people will die, so of course they will not choose to die by themselves.
After all, Cao Shu is not a saint who blindly achieves others...
With his eyes falling on the gray sky, Cao Shu said: "The sky has been gloomy for a long time, and I guess there will be heavy snow recently..."
Just as he was talking, Zhu Ao walked in.
He bowed to Cao Shuo and said, "Report to the young master, the Zuoxian King of the Huns came to ask for a visit."
Not long after he sent people to Taihang, Zuo Xianwang, who slaughtered the Huns, came to Shouchun, and Cao Shu was somewhat surprised.
Hotan Feng, Chen Gong looked at him, and he ordered Zhu Ao: "Please talk to the front hall."
