Cao Shu got up early the next day.

When they arrived at the front yard, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao were already waiting there.

"You two will inform us and ask everyone to come to the meeting hall to discuss military affairs." Cao Shu gave the two instructions.

The two received the order and notified them to go.

Cao Shu came to the front hall and walked straight to the upper head and sat down.

Shortly after sitting down, Guo Jia and Xun Yu arrived.

When they saw the ceremony, Cao Shu asked, "Does General Deng or General Zhu notify you to come here to discuss matters?"

Guo Jia replied: "The young master said yesterday that the meeting was held today morning to discuss whether to use troops to Xiliang."

"What do you two mean when others have not come yet?" Cao Shuo asked.

"I think military should be used." Guo Jia said: "Young Master saved Ma Teng, and Ma Chao still rebels against the Cao family. If the young master did not send troops, what would the Cao Gong think?"

"Fengxiao and I mean the same thing." Xun Yu said: "Ma Chao rebelled, and Cao Gong was very upset. Ma Teng wrote a letter, but he was still an enemy of the Cao family. How could Cao Gong tolerate such a person? If Cao Gong thought of Ma Teng and took his anger on his son, wouldn't it cause trouble for no reason?"

"You two are actually not much different from me," Cao Shuo said: "Actually, I also think that I should send troops to attack Ma Chao."

"Since the young master feels so, why are hesitating?" Guo Jia said: "Who dares to refuse to accept the order of the young master? He just wants to convene a court discussion."

"Of course the court discussion will be opened." Cao Shu said: "I have returned to Shouchun this time and have already sent orders to transfer Pang Shiyuan back. It will take less than two days to return to Shouchun when he has handed over the military and government affairs in Yangzhou."

"Young Master has transferred everyone back. I am afraid that the governors guarding all over the country will not be very easy to use." Guo Jia said: "The governor is a chief official in the border area. You should be careful with your employer."

"You have to be employed without doubt." Cao Shuo said: "Actually, I have made arrangements long ago. The term of office of governors in various places is only five years, and they will not be re-elected once the term reaches its position. Those who have outstanding achievements will become officials in Shouchun, and those who have average achievements will go to other places to become governors. As for those who have proven that they cannot lead the local prosperity, I can only demote them."

"In this way, the soldiers are inactive, the soldiers are inactive, and the generals are inactive." Guo Jia said: "Once the war comes, I'm afraid I'll be overwhelmed."

"In fact, there is nothing wrong with the soldiers and generals of Wuchang." Cao Shuo said: "As long as the superiors and subordinates in the army are strictly constrained, the army will still be invincible when going to war. More importantly, the soldiers and generals are not familiar with each other, and even if someone has a second heart, the soldiers will not follow him."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other and didn't say anything again.

Cao Shu continued: "There is no so-called perfection in this world, and any practice can be found. What we need to do is how to make up for the mistakes and minimize the losses that may occur."

"Young Master is saying." Xun Yu nodded: "The governors from all over the country are frequently mobilized, so they cannot cover the sky with just one hand, and it is easier for them to maintain the authority of the young master."

As the three of them spoke, Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao walked in.

The two bowed and bowed, and Deng Zhan said, "Young Master, we have informed you, and you will arrive later."

"Let someone prepare some fruits, today's court discussion may be a bit long." Cao Shu ordered.

Deng Zhan and Zhu Ao left in response.

"Did the young master have to use the court's proposal to arrange everything?" After the two left, Guo Jia asked Cao Shu.

"I returned to Shouchun this time and found that there were many things I didn't do." Cao Shuo said: "Just planning to sort out these things, each of them was done, and Ma Chao was causing such a big trouble again."

He sighed and said in a tone of regret: "Ma Chao is so big, but it still makes people feel uneasy. His father and brother are in Shouchun. Are you not afraid of me..."

"What he is afraid of is Cao Gong, but he is really not a young man." Guo Jia said: "Ma Teng is also the young master's father-in-law. If the young master wants to harm him, he would not have been able to go to Yecheng to rescue people. Ma Chao was relieved to be in Shouchun."

"He is relieved, but he has cheated me very much." Cao Shuo shook his head with a smile.

"It's a good thing that's the young master." Xun Yu said from the side: "When you encounter such a thing, you can still laugh."

"Does I have to cry if I don't laugh?" Cao Shu said: "It has happened. What we have to consider is how to solve it, not blame this and that."

Before the staff and generals arrived, tables and chairs had already been placed on both sides of the hall.

The table is a round shape that can only be used at a banquet, while the chairs are placed around the table.

The hall where the meeting was once Yuan Shu’s court, and more than ten tables were placed still seem empty.

Cao Shuo said to Xun Yu and Guo Jia: "Please sit down at the round table in the upper head."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu thanked each other and sat down at the table above.

Before long, the staff and generals arrived one after another.

Everyone entered the hall and saw the round table placed here, and were stunned for a moment.

Cao Shuo smiled and said, "Why? It's different from the previous layout, so I don't dare to sit down?"

"Young Master, these round tables..." Tian Feng asked in surprise.

"In the future, we will use a round table," Cao Shu said: "In this way, people at the deskmate can see each other's expressions on their faces and discuss things closer."

"Young master's idea is good, but Yu Lishu..." Tian Feng wanted to say something else.

Cao Shu planned to him: "What is etiquette? There is no fixed standard for etiquette. I think the so-called etiquette is humility and peace. If you follow the old rules, the tables and chairs in your home should be thrown away. After all, they are not the furniture we passed down."

Tian Feng didn't say much, and no one else would talk too much.

"Let's sit first." Cao Shu gestured and asked everyone to sit down.

Following the positions of civil and military officials and ranks, everyone found the corresponding tables and sat down around the round table.

"You may not know yet why I wanted to hold today's court meeting." Cao Shu said: "Last night, Fengxiao received news, and Ma Chao once again joined forces with Han Sui, trying to be an enemy of our Cao family. My father has led his troops to Xiliang. I want you to come over to ask, should I send troops?"

"Young Master, did Huo Wu send back the news?" Sima Yi asked.

"The news about Huo Wu has not been heard yet," Cao Shuo said: "Fengxiao received the news from Xun Gongda. Huo Wu's news may be delivered one or two days later."

"I think it's a bit hasty for the young master to convene the court." Sima Yi said: "At least, when Huo Wu also sends the news back, it's not too late to find out that there is such a thing."
