Chapter 1407 Don't tell him anything
After saying those words to Cao Cao, Guo Jia's mood was very complicated.
He knew very well that after saying those words, Cao Cao would be more worried about Cao Shu.
Cao Shu is his biological son. Cao Cao will not do anything out of order, but he will definitely cultivate another son and Cao Shu to compete with each other.
Looking at the Cao family, the only one who can be cultivated by Cao Cao is Cao Pi.
How could a generation of heroes watch his son be stronger than him?
There must be a suitable way to restrain and control.
And this is exactly what Guo Jia wants.
Guo Jia knew about Cao Pi when he was young.
This second son of the Cao family is calm and always uses any means to do things.
Even if Cao Cao does not cultivate him, he will definitely become Cao Shuo's opponent in the future.
Instead of letting him observe secretly and giving Cao Shu a fatal blow when the right time comes, it is better to encourage Cao Cao to cultivate it in advance.
Cao Shu is good at everything, but the only thing that is not good is that he is too arrogant.
The strength of the two sides is very different, so Cao Shuo can easily underestimate the enemy and advance rashly.
Once he looks down on Cao Pi in his heart, he will definitely suffer in the future.
Two days after Cao Cao received the news that Cao Shu broke through Yuan's army and rushed to Yecheng, Cao Shu brought a team of only 500 people to Yecheng.
Guo Jia and others went out of the city to greet each other.
Xu Chu, who was still working beside Cao Cao, came to greet Cao Cao.
After meeting everyone, Cao Shuo asked Xu Chu: "Brother Zhongkang, how are your father recently?"
"Mr. Cao is very good." Xu Chu replied: "I always miss my young master, and I have also been talking about it in front of me many times."
"My father values my family very much." Cao Shuo smiled and said, "I don't find it strange that he mentioned me in front of Brother Zhongkang."
Accompanied by everyone, Guo Jia and others came to the door of the Yuan family's mansion, and they all surrendered.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Cao Shu was about to walk into the house with Xu Chu, but Guo Jia called him.
"Brother Fengxiao has something to say?" Cao Shu asked.
"There's nothing special," Guo Jia said: "I haven't seen the young master for too long, and there are not many elixirs at home. I want to ask the young master to come to my house to talk to you in the evening."
Knowing that Guo Jia was not just for the elixir, Cao Shu said, "I will definitely go there at night by Brother Xiao."
"I'm waiting at home." Guo Jia bowed and turned around and left.
Watching Guo Jia go away, Xu Chu whispered to Cao Shu: "Young Master may not know yet. Guo Fengxiao offended Cao Gong two days ago."
"Oh?" Cao Shuo asked in surprise: "How did he offend his father?"
"I don't know what he said to Cao Gong." Xu Chu said: "Mr. Cao Gong's face looked very ugly that day."
"My father is extremely respectful to him. What are he who can't say?" Cao Shuo smiled and patted Xu Chu's arm: "Brother Zhongkang doesn't need to think too much. No matter what Guo Fengxiao said, although his father will take it to his heart, he will never hold a grudge against him."
Xu Chu nodded: "It's said that the young master knows Cao Gong. Although I've been with Cao Gong all day, he can't see through what he is thinking."
"If you can see through it, he will no longer be my father." Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Since Chen Liu recruited troops, it was very difficult for his father to come over so many years. If his thoughts were easily understood, what would be possible?"
"What the young master said is that I was abrupt." Xu Chu replied.
Walking into the Yuan family's mansion, Cao Shu looked around and said to Xu Chu: "I have been here twice. When I came the first two times, the people who came in and out were all from the Yuan family, but now it has become the industry of the Cao family."
"Who wants the Yuan family to not be able to maintain the family business?" Xu Chu curled his lips: "There is Yuan Tan, he actually dared to send troops to intercept the young master. When Cao learned about it, he was furious and immediately ordered Yuan Tan's daughter to be sent back."
"Send it back?" Cao Shuo asked: "What does Yuan Tan's rebellion have to do with his daughter?"
"How could Cao Gong be his relatives with Yuan Tan rebel against the Cao family?" Xu Chu said: "Especially, he dared to intercept the young master halfway. Not to mention Cao Gong, even if I grabbed him, I would twist his head off."
"I understand Brother Zhongkang's intentions." Cao Shuo asked him with a smile: "Have your father asked you to lead troops to fight recently?"
"I asked me to attack Yecheng," Xu Chu said, "Young Master, I can't remember if I don't ask, saying that Xu You was rude when he captured Yecheng, and I killed him."
"I knew you would kill him for a long time." Cao Shu said: "Xu You looked at him without any respect and was rude to his father. In fact, his father had long wanted to kill him."
"It turned out that the young master saw through Cao Gong's thoughts and did not advise me not to take action." Xu Chu said suddenly: "No wonder Cao Gong just asked me to lock myself in the room for two days, and there was no other punishment. It turned out that he wanted to kill Xu You long ago."
"You must not tell your father this." Cao Shuo said: "If my father knew that we had said this earlier, it would not be of any benefit to you."
Xu Chu shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything.
Cao Shu continued, "Next time there will be war, Brother Zhongkang should ask his father for a fight. Keep you by your side all day and don't have the chance to make meritorious service. You can't always be a general. With Brother Zhongkang's ability, he can still be a miscellaneous general."
"I've written it down!" Xu Chu replied: "Thank you, my son, for your advice."
"Don't tell your father that I reminded you to fight." Cao Shuo said: "It's not good for you to say too much."
"Mr. Cao loves the young master. If I say it's a young master's reminder, wouldn't it be easier to achieve my wish?" Xu Chu asked in confusion.
"Brother Zhongkang is thinking too much." Cao Shuo said: "My father is a hero of the world. How can he tolerate too many people around him who are close to me and occupies a high position? If you show that you are too close to me and want to make achievements, you may have to wait a hundred years later."
"So long..." Xu Chu was stunned: "A hundred years later, I will be a dry bone in the tomb..."
Cao Shu laughed and patted Xu Chu's arm gently without saying much.
After a while, the two of them arrived at the study room of the Yuan family's back house.
This was once Yuan Shao's study, but now it has been occupied by Cao Cao.
When he arrived at the entrance of the study, Xu Chu came forward to report: "Report to Mr. Cao, the eldest son is here."
"Call him in!" Cao Cao's voice came from the room.
Xu Chu pushed open the door and stood aside, saying to Cao Shu: "Young Master, please!"
Cao Shu thanked him and walked into the study.
After entering the study, he saw Cao Cao flirting with a book.
"Father." Cao Shuo asked, "I'm hurriedly calling me over. Are there any important things to give me?"
