The analysis of Guo Jia and Xun You made Cao Cao feel much better.

The Yuan family in Hebei is really powerful, and it is unlikely to completely defeat the Yuan family with one or two battles.

"Zi Rong captured Yuan Benchu, but sent him to Shouchun. Why didn't Xu Du come?" Cao Cao frowned and asked Guo Jia and Xun You, "Does Zi Rong have other plans?"

"Young master should want to protect Yuan Shao." Guo Jia replied.

Cao Cao was stunned and his face suddenly looked ugly: "Yuan Benchu ​​wanted to kill me, but Zirong wanted to protect him. What is the reason?"

"Mr. Cao only saw one, but not the other." He and Guo Jia looked at each other, and Xun You said with a smile: "The eldest son did this to destroy the Yuan family faster."

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao asked Xun You with his body.

"If Yuan Benchu ​​dies, although Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang will fight each other, they will feel a little guilty in their hearts." Xun You said: "Once Cao Gong leads his army into Hebei, the two of them will not be able to break them at any time. If Yuan Shao is alive, the two will try every means to get the promise from him who will inherit Hebei. All their minds are used, how can they prepare the army? How can they defend together?"

"Do you think so too?" Xun You's statement made Cao Cao feel relaxed, but he still asked Guo Jia with some confusion.

"My idea is actually almost the same as Gongda." Guo Jia replied: "The eldest son kept Yuan Shao in Shouchun, but Xu Du was not as safe as Shouchun. If Yuan Shao came to Xu Du, he might not be worried about his life soon. But in Shouchun, no one would do anything to him."

"Would Fengxiao say this, is it because he thinks I have no tolerance?" Cao Cao smiled and said, "As long as Yuan Benchu ​​is alive and has more benefits than death, I will do my best to protect him."

"Although Cao Gong did this, there are many people who wanted him to die." Guo Jia said: "Don't forget, after the Battle of Guandu, we got so many secretly conspired letters from Yuan Benchu. Those people knew that Yuan Shao came to Xu Du, how could they try to kill him?"

Looking at Guo Jia in shock, Cao Cao suddenly said, "It turns out that Zirong is worried about these..."

Cao Cao showed a sudden look, and Guo Jia and Xun You both felt relieved.

Thinking about this, Cao Cao said, "Since Zirong went to Shouchun, I have never walked anywhere. I plan to take advantage of the fact that there is nothing important recently, I plan to take a trip to Shouchun."

"Don't Cao go to Shouchun to see his former colleagues?" Xun You asked.

"It's still Gongda understands my intentions." Cao Cao sighed: "The world is in chaos, and how many former colleagues have become enemies now? Yuan Benchu ​​was captured by our army, and every wolf with his minions can also chat together."

"I wonder when Mr. Cao is going to go?" Guo Jia asked then.

"How many days will it take for Zirong to return to Shouchun?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's only one month at most." Guo Jia replied: "If Cao Gong wants to wait for the young master to return to Shouchun, it's best to wait for a month before departure."

"Then let's talk about it in a month." Cao Cao waved his hand and said to Guo Jia and Xun You: "It's not too early, and it's nothing important now. You two have taken advantage of these days to take a good rest. You two have been fighting outside all day a few days ago, and you two have worked very hard."

"I dare not say that I work hard for Gong Cao!" Guo Jia and Xun You answered in unison.

"Go back and rest." Cao Cao waved his hand again.

Guo Jia and Xun You agreed, stood up and left.

After the two left, Cao Cao was about to go to bed when Xu Chu's voice came from outside: "Report to Mr. Cao, the second son is asking for a meeting."

Earlier, when I mentioned the second son in the Cao family, of course, it was specifically referring to Cao Shuo.

Since Cao Cao corrected Cao Shu and made him the leader of all his sons, the title of "Second Prince" has been named Cao Pi.

When Cao Pi asked for a meeting, Cao Cao asked, "It's so late, what are he doing?"

Cao Pi's voice came from outside the door: "You are here to ask for peace, my father."

"Since there is nothing important, you go back first." Cao Cao said: "It's getting late, so you go back and rest first."

"The boy surrendered." Cao Pi did not dare to say much, so he sued and retreated.

When Cao Pi left, Cao Cao ordered outside the door: "Zhongkang, come in."

The door opened and Xu Chu walked into the room.

"Does Cao Gong want to go back to his room to rest?" After entering the room, Xu Chu asked Cao Cao.

"Zihuan came here just now. Do you think he has something to say?" Cao Cao asked.

"Returning to Mr. Cao, the second young master seemed to have something to say just now." Xu Chu replied: "But Mr. Cao didn't allow him to come in, and he didn't dare to say anything more. It seemed that he was a little disappointed when he saw the situation."

"Do you think I'm old in the future, should I hand over the Cao family to Zirong or Zihuan?" Cao Cao suddenly asked this.

Shocked by Cao Cao's question, Xu Chu hurriedly said, "I dare not say much about Cao Gong's family affairs."

"It's me asking you, it's not you who are talking nonsense." Cao Cao said: "If you have any ideas, just say them."

"Mr. Cao asked, I dare not stop talking." Xu Chu replied: "In fact, Mr. Zirong and Mr. Zihuan have their own strengths. However, Mr. Zirong is older. Now the Yuan brothers are fighting each other. It is precisely because Yuan Shao said that Yuan Shang is more like him that his brothers turned against each other..."

"Xu Zhongkang, Xu Zhongkang." Before Xu Chu finished speaking, Cao Cao smiled and said, "I have always thought you were just a rough person, but I didn't expect that you were so thick and thin, and I learned to beat around the bush."

"I dare not!" Xu Chu quickly bowed and replied.

"I want to say that it is more appropriate for Zirong to inherit the Cao family, but you dare not." Cao Cao laughed and said, "So you don't say good things about Zirong, nor do you say bad things about Zihuan. You only use the matter of Age and Yuan brothers. I am worried that Zirong and the others will fight each other in the future, so of course I will not do anything as stupid as Yuan Benchu. What a Xu Zhongkang, I can tell me the severity of the matter without any trace. There is really no one except you."

"Mr. Cao praised it." Xu Chu replied quickly: "I am a rough man and don't know the general principles. I just say whatever I think in my heart. If something is wrong, Cao must not take it to heart."

"Why don't I take it seriously?" Cao Cao stood up and said to Xu Chu: "When Zi Rong returns to Shouchun, I plan to go over and take a look. Then someone tells Zihuan that when he goes to Shouchun, he will join me to see how his brother manages the place."

"Mr. Cao's instructions have been recorded." Xu Chu responded first, and then asked, "Which wife's residence will Cao's rest tonight?"
