Cao Shu sat next to the brazier, and a scribe-like man sat opposite him.

"Why did Mr. Jia come?" Cao Shu said: "It's so cold that my father can make you feel cruel?"

"It's not that Cao Gong asked me to come, but I asked Cao Gong for an order." Jia was sitting opposite him. With a smile, Jia Xu said: "Actually, I also want to see how the young master dealt with the Huns."

"It is easy to deal with the Huns, but I didn't expect the Hetao area to be so cold." Cao Shuo said: "Many soldiers were so cold that they couldn't get up. I also sent orders to let the soldiers not have to go out to practice and cook fire in the house all day long."

"The soldiers under the command of the young master are all from Central Plains and Jianghuai. How could they withstand such cold weather?" Jia Xu said: "When I came, I saw that the soldiers were wearing very thick clothes. If the young master hadn't been polite to them, I wouldn't know how many people would have frozen to death."

"It's all my soldiers, how could I bear to let them freeze to death?" Cao Shu grinned and asked Jia Xu: "Mr. Jia came to Wuyuan in person, and there must be something important to tell me."

"It's important, but it's not actually worth it." Jia Xu said: "Yuan Tan has joined the Cao family."

Cao Shu curled his lips: "I still think it's something, I've known about it for a long time."

"Young Master has known it a long time ago?" Jia Xu asked in surprise.

"Yes." Cao Shuo said: "Huo Wu has received the news to tell me a long time ago. It's been more than a month."

"It's been so long, and the news about the young master is very well-informed." Jia Xu said: "Mr. Cao wants me to come. I'm asking the young master what official position should Yuan Tan be given?"

"Is there any official position given to Yuan Tan?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "Did my father see that Yuan Tan will rebel sooner or later, so he used the excuse to shirk what benefits from it?"

"It's still the young master who knows Cao Gong." Jia Xu said: "This is what Cao Gong means."

"Which brother of my family marry Yuan Tan's daughter?" Cao Shuo asked.

"Young Master Cao." Jia Xu said: "The two are at the same age and are just getting married."

"Cao Zheng?" Cao Shuo said with a smile: "He is only eight years old this year, and the thing below has not grown yet. I'm afraid he won't know how to use it if he gives him a little beauty."

Jia Xu was covered in black lines.

He didn't find such words strange at all when Cao Shu said them.

What kind of person is Cao Shuo?

He was so elegant that he could barely come up with some great principles, but he blurted out even more...

"My father invited Mr. Jia to come here, but in fact he didn't know that his purpose was Yuan Tan's daughter." Jia Xu didn't say anything, and Cao Shu continued: "His purpose is Qingzhou."

"Young Master means..." Jia Xu asked: "Duke Cao wants troops to seize Qingzhou without bloodshed?"

"That's right." Cao Shu said: "Yuan Tan will rely on the Cao family this time and will return to Qingzhou soon. Once he goes back, even if his daughter is the daughter-in-law of the Cao family, he will never hesitate at all and will definitely be enemies of the Cao family. If his father wants to grant him an official position, he may be in the Yanzhou area."

"Yanzhou Governor." Jia Xu grinned: "Young Master's method is good. If Yuan Tan takes the Yanzhou Governor, he can return to Hebei and continue to fight with Yuan Shang. Behind him is the Cao family, and his confidence will be more confident than before. Once Yuan Tan attacks Yuan Shang, the young master will be able to take over the entire Qingzhou. If Yuan Tan rebelled, the Cao family can do his best to take him down."

"Yuan Tan took advantage of his father, and the Yuan family in Hebei was completely defeated." Cao Shu shook his head and said, "I guess his father asked him to return to Hebei, and he would have to wait for me to withdraw from Hetao."

"Young master came to Hetao this time, don't you plan to completely conquer the Huns?" Jia Xu said: "If the Huns were not defeated, they would cause a lot of trouble in the future."

"Of course it's necessary to fight." Cao Shu grinned and lowered his voice and said to Jia Xu: "Actually, I still have a thought, but it's impossible to achieve it within three or two years. I can only temporarily suppress it and worry about it later."

"What are the plans for the young master?" Jia Xu asked.

"I plan to completely destroy the Huns, but the Han Dynasty has not yet been pacified. If it falls into a long-term war in Hetao, it will be unfavorable to the Cao family's great cause." Cao Shuo said: "This thought can only be temporarily suppressed. When the Han Dynasty is unified, it will be taken out and discussed with everyone."

"Young Master is indeed talented and wise." Jia Xu also lowered his voice and said, "I heard that the young master had killed a red snake and made armor with snake skin..."

"The snake skin is not very good, but it looks pretty good." Cao Shuo grinned and said, "That set of armor is in Shouchun. I am too lazy to carry it with me if I don't like it."

"Do you know what it means?" Jia Xu asked in a low voice.

"What else can it mean just a set of armor?" Cao Shu said disrespectfully.

"Is there any connection between Emperor Gaozu of Han who killed the white snake when he was killed, and now the young master killed the red snake?" Jia Xu made the words clearer.

Cao Shu grinned: "It turns out that what Mr. Jia is talking about. I don't know what it means to kill a white snake by Emperor Gaozu. I only know that I killed a little red snake, and it really has no practical meaning."

"Since the Great Qin Dynasty, the royal family respected black." Jia Xu said: "Qin is known as the virtue of water, but in fact, the Great Qin originated from the West. The West belongs to metal. The five elements of the Great Qin are actually gold rather than water. When Emperor Gaozu killed the white snake, it was precisely because fire defeated gold. The Great Han Dynasty belonged to fire, and the Cao family's clothing was black. The young master killed the red snake, it was precisely because water defeated fire."

"I don't understand the mutual generation and restraint of the five elements at all." Cao Shu waved his hand and said, "I only know that as a Han minister, I will work diligently and fulfill my duties for the Han. If I can't restore the Han in this life, I will die with my eyes..."

"Young Master is not even blushing when he tells lies now." Jia Xu said with a smile: "Young Master, in your heart, you really think that the country you have built with great hardships will be handed over to an emperor who does nothing?"

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu would say such words, Cao Shu was stunned.

After staring at Jia Xu for a long time, Cao Shu said, "Don't say anything nonsense. If someone hears this kind of thing, it may cause countless troubles."

"There are only me and my son here." Jia Xu said: "My daughter married the young master, and I am a family. The young master Rong, and I am the one who is in the same place. The young master Rong, and I am also the one who loses his son. Could it be that I will still harm the young master?"

"Some words, Mr. Jia should not say them." Cao Shuo said: "At least don't say them so early..."

His last sentence was meaningful. Jia Xu stared into his eyes. After a long time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "With this young master's words, I feel relieved!"
