Cao Shu took people to Yizhou, and Guo Jia followed him.

Even Cao Zhang and Cao Shuo took them together.

When Cao Cao got the news, Cao Shu had already gone out to sea.

He called Xun You in front of him.

In the study, Xun You sat on his side, and Cao Cao said to him: "Fengxiao followed Zirong to Yizhou, have you heard that?"

"I only heard of it, too." Xun You said: "This time, the young master went to Yizhou and did not take his staff, but brought Fengxiao with him. It was indeed a bit unexpected."

"I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't understand what he meant." Cao Cao said: "Now the army is preparing to attack Wuhuan. Once the river is completed, our army will go north. Calculate the day when Zirong returns, I'm afraid Fengxiao will not have time to follow the army to Wuhuan."

"There is no filial piety around Cao Gong, as if he is missing an arm." Xun You said: "It is indeed inappropriate for the eldest son to do this."

"He is taking revenge on me." Cao Cao said: "Earlier, Fengxiao and Mr. Shuijing, both told me that Zirong had a lot of objections to letting him withdraw his troops to Shouchun this time. A rebellious son like this..."

Cao Cao's hands trembled as he spoke.

Xun You hurriedly said, "Duke Cao, the eldest son may be an unintentional act, so don't think too much."

"I am old," Cao Cao said: "It is possible to die at the hands of others at any time when fighting in the world. I plan to establish the prince first."

"The eldest son is not here..." Xun You said: "Duke Cao is the crown prince at this time..."

"Zi Rong is not here, and Zihuan." Cao Cao said: "After the crown prince is established, he may not be able to replace me in the future. It depends on his future performance."

"It is obviously inappropriate for Mr. Cao to do this." Xun You said: "Please think twice."

Looking at Xun You, Cao Cao frowned.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Power is a good thing..."

Cao Cao had something in his words, but although Xun You could hear the unspoken voice, he did not take over the conversation.

Just now, Xu Chu came to the door: "Duke Cao, there is a Nanman merchant outside, who said that there was something strange about it to dedicate it to Duke Cao."

"Southern Barbarian Merchant?" Cao Cao asked, "What do he have to offer to me?"

"I saw you, but I just didn't recognize you." Xu Chu said: "He is a giant, alive."

Cao Cao stood up and said to Xun You, "Let's go and have a look."

Before leaving the door, he said to Xu Chu: "Summon everyone, I want to watch with them."

Not long after Xu Chu left, Cao Cao's staff generals arrived one after another.

By the pond in the back house, Cao Cao asked someone to hold a banquet.

He ordered Xu Chu: "Call the merchants of the Southern Barbarians up."

Xu Chu retreated and arrived soon with a Southern Barbarian.

When he arrived in front of Cao Shu, the merchant of the Nanman bowed and said, "I am a merchant from Baiyue. I came to Cao Gong's rule to run a business and brought our Nanman special elephant to Cao Gong."

"What the hell is an elephant?" Cao Cao asked with a smile.

"If Cao Gong agrees, I will bring the elephant here." said the Nanman merchant.

"Come on, let's open our eyes too," Cao Cao said.

The merchant of the Southern Barbarian retreated, and within a while, he personally brought an elephant.

The elephant was extremely burly, like a meat mountain, with a long nose and a sway, which made Cao Cao and others feel nervous.

Xu Chu stepped forward and stopped Cao Cao.

Cao Cao signaled him to retreat and asked the merchants of the Southern Barbarians: "This thing is called an elephant?"

"Report to Mr. Cao, that's right." The merchant of the Nanman replied: "In our place, elephants use more goods to carry than horses. If they are marching and fighting, they can also be allowed to go to battle and kill the enemy."

"If such a giant creature killed the enemy, it would definitely make the enemy scared." Cao Cao asked with a smile: "I wonder how heavy this kind of thing is?"

The Nanman businessman was stunned and said a little embarrassedly: "Report to Mr. Cao, I have never called it..."

"Who can call the elephant?" Cao Cao asked everyone.

"This is simple." Xiahou Dun stood up: "Get a big stick and weigh it."

"Yuan Rang was joking," Xun Yu said: "Even if there is such a big name, who can move it?"

Xiahou Dun was stunned.

The elephant is like a mountain of meat, so heavy that no one can do the strength to put it on the scale.

He stepped back awkwardly. Xiahou Dun thought about how to put the elephant on the scale. Xu Huang stood up: "Duke Cao, I think I can cut the elephant into pieces and weigh it, and you will know its weight."

"This is a solution." Cheng Yu said with a smile: "But if this happens, won't the elephant die?"

Xu Huang also made a fussy nose full of dust, holding his forehead and falling into deep thought.

"Father." At this moment, a young man who was about ten years old said to Cao Cao: "There is a way for the child to weigh the elephant."

Looking at Cao Chong, Cao Cao asked with a smile: "What's your solution?"

No one here believes that Cao Chong can have a solution.

After all, he is only ten years old. What good way can a child think of?

Everyone showed disbelief on their faces, waiting for Cao Chong to say something that they would definitely think is funny.

Cao Chongdao was not unhappy because of the contempt of everyone. He said to Cao Cao: "Report to his father, the child thought he could find a boat, first record the draft of the boat, then lead the elephant up, and then record it. When the elephant was pulled to the shore, replace it with the stone. Finally, the weight of the stone was weighed together, which was equivalent to the weight of the elephant."

Cao Chong said this, including Cao Cao, and everyone was shocked.

"After him, get a boat quickly." Cao Cao ordered everyone.

The guards followed Cao Chong's method to weigh the elephant's weight. Cao Cao twisted his beard and said with a smile: "With this, what else can my husband ask for? You are much better than your elder and second brothers. If the Cao family handed it to you in the future, I should be able to rest assured."

Cao Cao just mentioned it unintentionally, but caused a lot of trouble to Cao Chong.

A few days later, Xu Du.

Cao Pi, who was ordered to return to Xudu, was also recruiting soldiers and inspecting the newly recruited soldiers in the schoolyard. Wu Zhi hurried to his side.

"Young Master, there is something bad about it." Wu Zhi said to Cao Pi in a low voice.

Looking back at Wu Zhi, Cao Pi asked worriedly: "Is the elder brother back?"

"The eldest son is still in Yizhou and has not come back." Wu Zhi replied.

"Then there is any bad news." Cao Pi said: "Just say anything and don't hesitate."

"It's the young master." Wu Zhi whispered: "A few days ago, a merchant from the Southern Barbarian gave Cao Gong an elephant. No one thought of a way to weigh the elephant, but Chong Gong thought of a way, which was very popular with Cao Gong."
