Chapter seven hundred and eighty seventh Cao's uncle and nephew
Xun Yu felt very uncomfortable.
He could understand Cao Cao's thoughts. Although Cao Cao still relied on him very much, at this critical moment, especially after he had an unclear relationship with the court under the jurisdiction of Tao Shang, it was impossible for Cao Cao to let himself alone.
The one who holds the military and political power in Xuchang.
But understanding is understanding, and feeling uncomfortable is feeling uncomfortable.
Cao Cao just sent Cao Hong to take away his power, but he didn't even send a letter.
Even if he asked Cao Hong to scold him a few words, that would be fine.
But none of these were present. Cao Cao's performance was too calm.
What does this mean?
This shows that Cao Cao may have been suspicious of himself a long time ago, and Cao Cao may have distrusted himself many years ago.
When he thought of this, Xun Yu felt an indescribable uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
Thinking of what Tao Shang had said to him before, Xun Yu felt that he was really being slapped in the face by someone named Tao.
He actually lost the bet he had with the pottery merchant.
But even if this is the case, what can Xun Yu do?
He could only continue to be patient and wait for this to end.
…
The news that Cao Hong was going to Xuchang could not be concealed from the spies of the school affairs office, and the news soon spread to the potter's military camp.
When the pottery merchant heard that Cao Hong was coming, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
Great things are done!
Cao Hong is famous for his bad temper. If a calm person is sent back to take charge of the overall situation for Xun Yu, this matter may be more difficult to handle. But if Cao Hong comes back, Tao Shang believes that his chances of winning will be a lot better.
In fact, Cao Cao didn't want to send Cao Hong back, but Xuchang was at stake, and Cao Cao had to send people from his trusted family to garrison in order to feel at ease. After all, Xun Yu had already learned a lesson from the past.
Xiahou Dun is dead, and Xiahou Yuan is currently at the outpost. The Cao family members who have the closest relationship with Cao Cao are trying to push him back and forth, but only Cao Hong can reassure Cao Cao.
To be honest, there was nothing that Cao Cao could do about this matter.
But he never expected that the violent temper of his clan brother would actually reach the ears of the pottery merchant, and that he would take advantage of him!
"Come here, come here!" The pottery merchant hurriedly called to Pei Qian: "Bring me the book I treasure, and bring it here quickly!"
Pei Qian took the order and left, leaving Chen Deng watching him and not knowing why.
What kind of book is it? Is it worthy of such a collection? The three armies still carry it with them when they go to war.
Could it be a masterpiece handed down from ancient times by the military sage Sun Wu?
After a while, they saw Pei Qian hurriedly holding a box in front of the two of them.
Under Chen Deng's puzzled eyes, the pottery merchant opened the box and revealed the answer to the mystery for him.
Chen Deng picked up the slips in the box and looked through them doubtfully for a while. His face turned red with embarrassment and he began to exhale heavily from his nostrils.
"Isn't this Xiao Chun Wen?" Chen Deng looked at Tao Shang feebly and said, "You go out to lead troops to fight, why do you still carry this with you?"
The pottery merchant smiled slightly and said, "It's lonely during the military journey."
Chen Deng looked him up and down maliciously: "Prime Minister, I'm not talking about you. You have so many beautiful wives and future wives at home. It's easy to hurt your body when you are at home. Don't bring such things with you when you go out...
…It vents one’s vitality, which is not good for the person who is not in good health, nor is it good for the wife at home.”
"Thank you for your kindness, but this Xiao Chunwen is an extraordinary treasure!"
Chen Deng turned it over in confusion and said curiously: "Although the writing is not bad, it is not a writing style that can be handed down from generation to generation. It cannot be said to be a treasure, right? Prime Minister, you are too ignorant. I will get it for you another day.
These two volumes will open your eyes and let you know what is a masterpiece of this kind of book."
The pottery merchant smiled and said: "The level of this book is indeed average, and I only got a few copies of it, but do you know who its author is?"
Chen Deng asked doubtfully: "Who?"
"Cao Ang! This was Cao Ang's copy of my work. He sent it to my camp for my appreciation, and I left a handwritten copy."
"What about Cao Ang's handwriting? It's just..."
When he said this, Chen Deng was suddenly stunned. He slowly looked at the pottery merchant with an evil smile on his face.
"Handwriting!" they both said in unison, and then both grinned.
…
After Cao Hong got Xun Yu's explanation of the current situation, he still had some doubts or things he didn't understand, but he didn't want to ask Xun Yu anymore. Instead, he said goodbye to Xun Yu and went to ask others.
For Cao Hong, the people closest to him in Xuchang City are nothing more than Cao Cao's son and family.
Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, is currently guarding the town of Puyang to guard against the Jinling Army. The only people left in the city are Cao Cao's wives and his remaining sons.
Among them, the older ones include Cao Pi and Cao Zhang, born to Mrs. Bian.
Cao Hong had no one else to ask at the moment, so he could only ask Cao Pi.
Cao Hong arrived at Sikong Mansion, and his servants hurried in to report.
After a while, Cao Pi came out to greet Cao Hong on behalf of the people in Cao's mansion.
The two came to the main hall and sat down as guests and hosts. They saw Cao Pi saying to Cao Hong: "Uncle Zilian, you are here! If you stay here for a few more days, I am afraid that Xuchang City will be lost to Xun Yu sooner or later."
!”
"What? What?" Cao Hong was confused: "Nephew, what do you mean by this? Don't scare me, I won't scare you!"
Cao Pi showed a surprised expression and said: "Uncle Zilian, didn't you see the letter I wrote to my father? My father didn't tell you the content of the letter either?"
Cao Hong shook his head in confusion and said, "Sikong didn't tell me anything. What did you say in the letter to him?"
Cao Pi was a little unhappy. The fundamental reason why he wrote to Cao Cao was that he wanted to take this opportunity to break into Cao Cao's army, so that Cao Cao would think highly of him and put him in high regard, so as to find opportunities to become an official.
He originally wanted to use Xun Yu's incident to make a big contribution and use it as a way to get close to him, but it turned out that Cao Cao didn't seem to have any intention of doing anything about this matter, but instead wanted to put pressure on him.
If Cao Cao suppressed the matter, wouldn't his achievements be buried?
Although Cao Pi is young, his ambition and ambition are indeed not small.
However, fortunately, the person who came back to take control was Cao Hong.
Later, Cao Pi no longer had anything to hide, and told Cao Hong everything from the envoy from Xuzhou who conferred the title of Situ to Xun Yu, to the affair between Xun Yu and the pottery merchant at the gate of Xuchang City.
Of course, Cao Pi's current behavior is purely for his own selfish desires, and there is inevitably some exaggeration in it.
Cao Pi's words filled Cao Hong with indignation, his face turned red, and he wished he could go back and strangle Xun Yu to death.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xun would be so shameless and that Sikong would treat him so favorably. He would actually act like this. My dear nephew, you have to help me no matter what you say in this matter!"
