"Prime Minister!" Xu Shu came out: "Prime Minister must not kill Liu Chan, at least not now! Looking around me now, although Gongsun Kang from Liaodong was surrendered to the Prime Minister on the surface, he was forced by the power and would rebel in the future; Ma Teng of Xiliang, who owned 100,000 Western Liang Iron Cavalry, and the "Ling Edict" on that day also participated in it, which was a big concern for the Prime Minister; the Huns in the north, and the Wuwan tribes often cause rebellion. Although the Prime Minister seems to be in great shape, he is actually full of dangers!"

Xu Shu paused and continued, "If we kill Liu Chan, Liu Bei will be heartbroken. Once Liu Bei and Ma Teng join forces to attack our army, our army will not be able to take into account both the front and tail, and the situation will be dangerous... And if Liu Chan is not dead, we can threaten Liu Bei with Liu Chan so that he dare not attack Xiangyang, and the Prime Minister can deal with Ma Teng in Xiliang with peace of mind!"

Cao Cao nodded. Although Cao Cao thought what Xu Shu said was very reasonable, at this time, all parties were in a delicate balance. If he killed Adou himself, Liu Bei would not be able to give up and this balance would be broken. Now Cao Cao had just lost a million troops in Chibi, and it was time to restore his vitality, so killing Liu Chan would do more harm than good.

But at the same time, Cao Cao also knew that Xu Shu was deliberately protecting Liu Chan.

Cao Cao lowered his head and fell into deep thought. At this time, all the civil and military officials shut their mouths. Everyone knows that when Cao Cao was thinking, don’t disturb him. If Cao Cao was angry, the consequences would be very serious.

At this time, no one knew that another person appeared in Cao Cao's mind.

Cao Cao had a son named Cao Chong. He was extremely smart since childhood. Cao Cao loved him very much. In Cao Cao's heart, Cao Chong even became one of his heirs. Unfortunately, in the year of the Battle of Red Cliff, twelve-year-old Cao Chong died of illness.

Thinking of Liu Chan, Cao Chong's figure involuntarily appeared in Cao Cao's mind.

"Chong'er was so smart back then..." Cao Cao was so immersed in his mind and said softly involuntarily. However, at this time, the hall was silent. Although Cao Cao's voice was small, everyone heard it.

Hearing this sentence, several strategists who had followed Cao Cao for many years understood that Cao Cao would not kill Liu Chan anymore!

Everyone thinks that Cao Cao is a treacherous hero, especially his words, "I would rather let me betray the people of the world than let the people of the world down." Everyone thinks that Cao Cao is a kind-hearted person, but in fact, Cao Cao is a person who values ​​feelings very much. Just imagine if Cao Cao was really kind-hearted, how could he recruit first-class advisers like Guo Jia, Jia Xu and Er Xun? At least from Cao Cao's attitude towards Guan Yu, Cao Cao still values ​​friendship very much.

Jia Xu, Cheng Yu, Xun Yu, Xun You and others followed Cao Cao for many years, especially Jia Xu, who knew Cao Cao very well, so when he saw Cao Cao remembering Cao Chong, Jia Xu understood that Cao Cao would definitely not be willing to kill Liu Chan.

...

Jingzhou, Jiangling City.

Zhuge Liang came to Liu Bei and whispered: "Lord, Liang has completely found out that the young master's disappearance was indeed done by the young master Liu Qi!"

"Hey..." Liu Bei sighed: "I didn't expect it was really him! Military advisor, what should I do?"

"Lord, this person cannot be kept! If you keep this person in Jingzhou, it will always be a hidden danger to the lord! Today he can collude with the Eastern Wu to kidnap the young master, and maybe he will collude with the Eastern Wu to kidnap the lord tomorrow. This person must be killed to eliminate future troubles!" At this time, Zhuge Liang's murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

Although Zhuge Liang is very steadily doing things, he is also a decisive person. When it is time to kill, Zhuge Liang will not be soft-hearted at all.

"Military advisor, no! Liu Qi is the only descendant of my brother Jingsheng after all. If he is killed, how can I explain to Brother Jingsheng under the Nine Springs!"

"Lord, let's leave this matter to Liang!" Zhuge Liang saw that Liu Bei's soft-hearted old problem had been dealt with again, so he shook his head helplessly, bowed deeply to Liu Bei, and retreated.

...

In the spring of the 15th year of Jian'an, Liu Qi "died sick" in Jiangling City.

Two months later, Mrs. Gan died of illness in Jiangling because she could not withstand the blow of Liu Chan's disappearance. Liu Bei finally became a single prince again!

...

Xu Du.

What Adou did not expect was that Cao Cao actually arranged himself to live in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Although A Dou's martial arts have been slightly better, it is absolutely fine to use Ti Yunzong to climb over a wall, but the Prime Minister's Mansion is very strict, and A Dou still temporarily gave up his plan to escape.

What’s more important is that Adou had no need to escape. Cao Cao also specially invited Xu Shu to be Liu Chan’s enlightenment teacher for the Prime Minister’s mansion!

Compared to Liu Bei, Cao Cao was indeed rich and generous. He had three meals a day, not only fish and meat, but also made various dishes very exquisitely. Even the clothes he changed, Cao Cao sent dozens of them all, and they were all made of expensive Shu brocade.

What made A Dou feel even more incredible is that Cao Cao often ran towards him. At first, he came every two or three days, but later he came every day. Come on. Every time he came, Cao Cao was still idle and often took his own homework. Whenever A Dou answered very well, Cao Cao would have a kind smile on his face. Sometimes A Dou even had some illusions, as if Cao Cao was his father!

Could it be that Cao Cao was schizophrenia?

Xu Shu was not good to him because of Liu Bei. Although A Dou was still young, Xu Shu taught him all his knowledge. Although Xu Shu was not as good as Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong, he was also the best strategist among the Three Kingdoms, so A Dou learned a lot from Xu Shu.

On that day, Xu Shu was teaching A Dou, but Dian Man walked over with a large stack of books.

Dian Man was Dian Wei's son. Dian Wei died to protect Cao Cao, but to put it bluntly, Cao Cao was greedy for Aunt Zhang Xiu's appearance and killed Dian Wei. Cao Cao was very guilty about this. After Dian Wei's death, Cao Cao took Dian Man as his adopted son and took him in the mansion. Therefore, Dian Man is one of the people who can enter and exit at will in the prime minister's mansion.

Dian Man put the script on the table and said, "The Prime Minister told me to let Mr. Adou learn these from today!"

Xu Shu nodded unhappily. He was A Dou's teacher, so he could learn whatever he taught. People with his identity were limited to the textbooks, which made Xu Shu a little unhappy! Can these things that Zi said about Shishu compare to what he taught?

Xu Shu picked up the book Jian with some disdain and glanced at it. His disdainful eyes instantly became solemn.

This turned out to be "Meng De's New Book"!

A few days ago, Xu Shu heard that Cao Cao compiled a book called "Meng De's new book", which covers military strategy and the way of governing the country. For example, many experiences of the Nine-rank Zhongzheng system and the garrison station were written in it, and it also summarizes the military success or failure of Cao Cao over half of his life. From the beginning of Cao Cao's uprising to the defeat in the Red Cliff, Cao Cao made a summary of whether it was the victory or defeat. This is undoubtedly a treasure book to outsiders!

It can be said that "Meng De's New Book" is the essence of Cao Cao's life!

Xu Shu had never seen this book himself, but he didn't expect it to be delivered here now. What does Cao Cao mean? Xu Shu couldn't help but frowned.

———————————————————————

In fact, Gengchuan had to write things when A Dou was young, and the main reason was to save Pang Tong. Gengchuan really couldn't bear to die with this strategist who was as famous as Zhuge Liang. However, Gengchuan thought that the plot design of Adou when he was young was pretty good. After all, historical novels could not have opened countless plug-ins as fantasy, and found a strong backer. This is unrealistic. However, small plug-ins should still be opened. When Gengchuan wrote "Chuangsan Three", he thought that the protagonist Zhang De was the kind of useless guy, so this time Gengchuan had to change it and create an A Dou who is both civil and military... As for why A Dou was so smart, Cao Cao had not yet eliminated this big problem? It is very clear in the book that Xu Shu talked about was political reasons, and Cao Chong was Cao Cao's personal reasons.
