Chapter 1619 Backer in Jiangdong
Cao Shu ignored Liu Bei's words, and Old Mrs. Wu asked suspiciously: "Is Liu Xuande really like Zirong said?"
"My mother-in-law has never been in contact with him and she still doesn't know his character." Cao Shu said: "Liu Xuande is a person who cannot be approached. Whoever gets close to him will be cheated by him to the point of being completely exhausted."
"Oh?" asked Old Mrs. Wu, "Why did Zirong say that? I heard that Liu Xuande has always had good character."
"Does my mother-in-law remember Tao Qian back then?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.
"Mr. Tao, the governor of Xuzhou, once attacked Dong Zhuo with his husband." Old Mrs. Wu said: "He also went to the Sour Jujube Alliance back then, of course I remember."
"When my father attacked Xuzhou, Tao Qian asked Kong Rong for help, and Kong Rong recommended Liu Xuande to him." Cao Shuo said: "Liu Xuande borrowed 3,000 troops from Gongsun Zan, and he would not say that he had lifted the siege of Xuzhou and should have left, but he relied on Tao Qian's favor to others to camp Xiaopei. After a confrontation between the Cao family, Tao Qian was frightened and soon passed away. Liu Xuande not only had no gratitude, but instead occupied Xuzhou. What does his mother-in-law think of his character?"
"Why did I hear that Tao Qiansan asked Xuzhou to do so? Liu Xuande insisted not to accept it..." Old Mrs. Wu said suspiciously: "What Zirong said is different from what I heard."
"Does Tao Qian have a son?" Cao Shuo asked suddenly.
"Of course there is." Old Mrs. Wu said: "It was only when Tao Qian's son Wude that he gave Xuzhou to Liu Xuande."
Cao Shuo smiled.
He was confused by his smile, and Old Mrs. Wu asked, "Why did Zirong laugh?"
"Don't talk about anything else, just talk about Jiangdong." Cao Shu said: "Did Bo Fu give Jiangdong to a foreign surname?"
Her brows frowned slightly, and Old Mrs. Wu asked in an unhappy tone: "Why did Zirong say it to Jiangdong?"
"What I want to say is actually very simple." Cao Shu said: "I will conquer some territory. When I grow old, no matter whether my son is virtuous or not, I will hand over the family business to them. There is no other reason, just because they are my sons. In fact, everyone is like this. Who is willing to give up the big business to others?"
After Cao Shu said this, Old Mrs. Wu suddenly realized: "What you mean is..."
"Tao Qian didn't let Xuzhou at all." Cao Shu said, "It was Liu Xuande who took advantage of his exhaustion to take Xuzhou away from him. Not to mention Tao Qian, he would say what did his father get in the end? He cheated the soldiers and horses from his father and participated in the robbery to kill his father. Then he went to Hebei. The Yuan family was fighting with the Cao family, but he cheated the people from the Yuan family and ran away from Runan to Jingzhou. He never stopped in Jingzhou. For people like this, how dare the Sun family in Jiangdong be with him?"
"At first, I just felt that Liu Xuande was very disgusted by asking Shangxiang for marriage." Old Mrs. Wu said: "When Zirong said this, his character is indeed..."
"I'm not hiding my mother-in-law, I wanted to kill him when he was in Xudu." Cao Shu said, "It's a pity that this person has always been in a state of water. I couldn't find a suitable reason to kill him. Now that he is in trouble with Jingzhou, the Cao family cannot turn a blind eye to him because of his old hatred. My father led an army of 830,000 to attack Liu Xuande in order to make the world righteous. I really can't understand why some people in Jiangdong want to take the disaster on their own."
Old Mrs. Wu's face became a little bad. She asked Sun Quan who was standing beside her: "How did you deal with Zhuge Kongming coming to Jiangdong?"
"Reporting to my mother, I did not agree to join the alliance with them." Sun Quan replied: "Otherwise, it would be impossible to ask Brother Zirong to cross the river."
"In fact, it doesn't matter whether we agree or not." Cao Shuo smiled slightly and said to Old Lady Wu: "Even if Zhongmou agreed, he would consider Jiangdong. As long as the Sun family does not send troops to the north bank and does not provoke our Cao family, they will naturally withdraw their troops when the Cao family conquers Jiangxia."
"You have heard what Zirong said?" Old Mrs. Wu asked Sun Quan.
"I heard it." Sun Quan bowed and responded.
"No matter whether there is anyone jumping up and down in front of you and encouraging you to be enemies with the Cao family, you have to see your closeness and distance clearly, and don't be deceived by the traitor." Old Mrs. Wu said: "Zi Rong lived with me when she was in Jiangdong."
"Mother, I have arranged a residence for Brother Zirong," said Sun Quan.
"I'm not very relieved to live outside," said Mrs. Wu. "Living here, I'm here, and I'm here to control it. I'll see who dares to treat my son-in-law."
"I have ordered Gan Xingba to lead 200 troops to be responsible for Zi Rong." Sun Quan said: "With Gan Xingba here, who else would dare to do anything to Zi Rong?"
"Don't say two hundred, even if you send a thousand soldiers to protect Zi Rong, I still feel worried." Old Mrs. Wu said: "You don't need to say more, just let Zi Rong stay here."
Old Lady Wu was devoted to protecting Cao Shuo, and Cao Shu was also thinking in her heart: This mother-in-law is really good. In the future, she will definitely be able to protect her from being Jingquan.
When he came to Jiangdong, in addition to marrying Sun Shangxiang, Cao Shu also had another plan, which was to find an excuse to let the Cao family attack Jiangdong.
Of course, living in Old Lady Wu would be very considerate, but in that case, it would be difficult to find an excuse to conquer.
Cao Shuo said to the old lady Wu: "Mother-in-law, my wife and I have not gotten married yet, so we are living with my mother-in-law at this time, which is obviously a bit unruly."
"When you come to Jiangdong, I have to protect you from being fully prepared." Old Mrs. Wu said: "Although Jiangdong belongs to our Sun family, there are always some people who will do something difficult to understand secretly. If the son is melted outside, wouldn't it cause trouble for Jiangdong too?"
"Don't worry, mother-in-law." Cao Shuo said: "Zhongmou sent to Gan Xingba, and I also have Zhao Zilong, Chen Shuzhi and others around me. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to have a chance if they want to do anything to me."
Cao Shu refused to stay here. Old Mrs. Wu looked at Sun Quan, glared at him and said, "If Zirong had an accident, I would not rely on you."
"Don't worry, my mother." Sun Quan said: "Brother Zirong has been in Jiangdong for these days, and I will definitely ask about my daily life every day, and no one can do anything to him."
With Sun Quan's promise, Old Lady Wu said to Cao Shu: "Zirong, I won't say anything else. If someone causes trouble for you, just come and tell me, I will make them look good."
"With my mother-in-law protecting me, why don't I walk sideways in Jiangdong?" Cao Shu grinned and gave a big gift to Mrs. Wu.
He looked calm, but Old Mrs. Wu couldn't let it go.
With a gentle sigh, she said to Cao Shu and Sun Quan: "You two can sit down first."
