Chapter 160 Cao Chong
Cao Cao asked Xun Yu to dispatch troops to defend Qingzhou. Xun Yu also sent a spy who was looking at him to approach Jizhou City. If he wanted to find out the movements of Yuan Shao in Jizhou, he would never be able to wait to die by himself!
Soon Xun Yu received a reply from his spy. After Xun Yu learned about it, he immediately came to Cao Cao and returned it to Cao Cao.
Xun Yu said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, spies come to report, there are two things."
Cao Cao held the comment in his hand and said, "Tell me"
Xun Yu replied: "The spy reported that there was a large army training in Jizhou City. Although he couldn't enter the city to watch, he could hear the shouts of soldiers training in the city from outside the city."
When Cao Cao heard this, he turned around and looked at Xun Yu and said, "Judge about how many people are from the voice."
Xun Yu said: "There are no less than 100,000 in the south of the city and the north of the city, totaling about 200,000."
After hearing this, Cao Cao still put the approval on the ground and said angrily: "At this time, Yuan Benchu still had so many soldiers, he wanted to fight to the death."
Cao Cao asked again: "Speak the second thing"
Xun Yu replied: "I heard that Yuan Shao's adviser Ju Su went to Xuzhou and Jingchu. I think he was probably asking for help. This also proves that the Prime Minister expected that the fish that was sleeping were invisible, so it was terrible."
After hearing this, Cao Cao smiled and said, "There is no big deal in Xuzhou. Because there is Li Zhe from Jingchu, he still knows in his heart that it is not the time to attack us. Li Zhe has a grudge against Xuzhou at this moment and wants to take revenge, so we can rest assured that Jing Chu is helping us this time. Of course, he will also have a small plan in his heart to help us, but we don't know what they are trying to do?"
Cao Cao pretended to be very confident and said it to Xun Yu. Xun Yu made some sense and did not speak, except Cao Cao's Prime Minister's Mansion.
Cao Cao went to the study alone. In the study, Cao Cao cried alone, haha, really crying, why? Because he felt that it was really difficult for him to not have the assistance of a capable adviser. At this moment, the tears were missing Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. The plans that Fengxiao had put for Cao Cao back then were all strange plans, and they were incisive. Without Guo Jia, there would be no Cao Cao now! Unfortunately, God was jealous of talent, Guo Jia died early and left Cao Cao. After Guo Jia died, Cao Cao lost his confidence in the war, but others could not see it. It was just that Cao Cao himself was a little worried when he made a decision, and he didn't know what to do to be considered comprehensive. Although Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, and Jia Yu were also strategicists, it was really different from Fengxiao!
After a while, Cheng Yu entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and said, "Prime Minister, Li Zhe of Jingchu got a daughter, born to Sun Shangxiang, and was named Qiuxiang."
After hearing this, Cao Cao said, "Although this Jingchu Li Zhe is our enemy, if we are the people, we should be considered confidants. We will back up gifts for me and send them to Jingchu. It doesn't need to be too expensive. Let him understand that Cao Mengde's intention is to bless me."
After Cheng Yu promised, Cao Cao thought, should he go and see his children, and Cao Cao shouted: "Come here."
The guards entered the house and Cao Cao said, "Tomorrow, I will hold a banquet, and let my more than a dozen sons come in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I want to have a meal with them."
The next day, there were many tables on the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Cao Cao sat alone on everyone, and there were many people below, some big and small, and the youngest was just a few years old.
The first person sitting is: Cao Pi, Empress Bian Sheng
The second one is: Cao Zhang, Queen Bian, nicknamed Huang Xuer, was a brave general, and once defeated Wuwan, Daijun
The third one is: Cao Zhi and Empress Bian, who is good at literature and has written "The Goddess of Luo River". Although he was favored by Cao Cao, he failed to compete with his brother Cao Pi and did nothing politically since then.
Going down are Cao Shu, Cao Chong, Cao Ju, Cao Yu, Cao Lin, Cao Gun, Cao Xuan, Cao Jun, Cao Ju, Cao Gan, Cao Shang, Cao Biao, Cao Qin, Cao Cheng, Cao Zong, Cao Wei, Cao Mao.
Cao Cao said: "Pi'er, how did you see this Spring and Autumn Period? Is there any thing you don't understand?"
Cao Pi said: "Father, if a child is educated, he will ask his father if he doesn't understand anything."
Cao Cao smiled and said, "Pi'er, you are just a little stupid. You can't study hard. You must use it flexibly. Learn to learn your fourth brother Zhier, see how others read books, and learn to learn to write poems and songs that Zhier makes right."
Cao Pi said: "The child is stupid and cannot be compared with the fourth brother. The fourth brother is extremely intelligent and has a natural understanding of literature. My brother is ashamed of himself."
Cao Zhi said: "Second brother, you only know how to be modest. My poems and songs are just entertainment and cannot be used as food. My father hopes that we can have the original intention of "planning and winning thousands of miles away". I haven't even entered the door."
Cao Zhang said: "Look at you, you say things I don't understand all day long, what is the decisive victory thousands of miles away. I only know that if you don't hit him, he won't know the reason for the pain. What can change the situation at home? That's what the gods do."
Cao Cao laughed at this and said, "Look at your brothers, you can't see that you are so smart. Everyone is screaming in front of me."
After Cao Cao finished speaking, the audience was quiet. Cao Cao was already annoyed when he saw this scene. He said, "Today we are holding a banquet at home, don't be restrained from etiquette. You can say whatever you want!"
Cao Pi thought and said, "Father, is the current situation of war very beneficial to us? Otherwise, we would not have been allowed to come. My father is busy with government affairs and caring about the world. It must be peace that makes me have free time."
Cao Zhi said: "My second brother may not know yet. The battle situation in Jizhou is already hard-working. I'm just waiting for them to come in winter. There is no food and will defeat others without fighting. Of course, my father is in a good mood."
A young son stood up and said, "The fourth brother is wrong (Cao Zhi is the fourth brother). The fourth brother is not clear about the current situation. We are in crisis."
Cao Zhi turned around and forgot to see that this person was his youngest son Cao Chong! Cao Chong was just ten years old.
After hearing this, Cao Cao felt a little excited and stood up and said, "Tell me on the way."
Cao Chong said: "At present, on the surface, we surrounded Jizhou, but we were very passive. Why were we besieged? Of course, the siege was too much casualties, or there was no possibility of breaking the city, so we chose the siege tactic. At the moment, the princes were eyeing him, Xuzhou Liu Bei had become a big problem, and Wuwan also sneaked into our borders. Yongliang was waiting to see us empty and expected to sneak attack. Although Jingchu in the south would not send troops for the time being, they also wanted to watch our excitement and take the opportunity to take advantage of the fisherman. These problems have not been solved. How could my father feel comfortable?"
Although Cao Cao knew that his youngest son Cao Chong was smart, he never thought that he would be so smart. Xun Yu didn't even understand these problems, but Cao Chong thought of them. It really surprised and happy Cao Cao.
