Cao Shu said it was Xu Chu's old friend, and Cao Cao also looked suspicious.

After Xu Chu asked, Cao Shu did not answer directly, but asked back: "When I was in Runan, I fought with Brother Zhongkang for three days and three nights without any decision. Do Brother Zhongkang still remember?"

Xu Du suddenly realized: "Is it possible that the young master is talking about Uncle Chen?"

"Can you fight Zhongkang for three days and three nights?" Cao Cao was stunned: "Is there someone so good martial arts?"

"Mr. Cao didn't know anything, and Shu Zhi was originally from Runan." Xu Chu said: "In the past, I resisted thieves in Runan and fought side by side with him. His ability is afraid he will be better than me."

"Zi Rong, where is this hero now?" Cao Cao said: "Can you let him see him?"

"What did my father say?" Cao Shuo smiled and said, "The soldiers under my command are all my father's soldiers. When will I meet, it's not a matter of one word."

"I can't wait to see this Uncle Chen." Cao Cao asked, "How did you settle him?"

"The battle in Rang County made me understand a truth." Cao Shu said: "If there are not enough elite troops under my command, I will suffer a great loss on the battlefield. So I built a new dragon pattern cavalry and was directly managed by Uncle Chen."

Cao Cao originally planned to see Chen Dao and keep him by his side.

But Cao Shu arranged things for him first.

As a result, it was not so urgent that he could not see Chen Dao.

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao smiled on his face and asked Cao Shuo: "You mentioned these with me not to sue Liu Xuande, nor to tell me that I have a Uncle Chen."

"Actually it's that simple." Cao Shuo smiled awkwardly: "How dare I play tricks in front of my father."

"You have a lot of fun in front of your father." Cao Cao said, "Tell me, what benefits do you want from me?"

Cao Shu said: "I really don't plan to ask my father for any benefits..."

"Since you don't plan to get benefits, then that's it!" Cao Cao stood up: "I'm tired of being a father, so you can retreat first."

"Don't...father..." Cao Shuo said with a shy face: "It's not right to say it's completely unpleasant. I still want my father to give it some."

"You, my father and son still need to beat around the bush?" Cao Cao laughed and said, "Speak quickly, do you want gold, silver, pearls and jade or a beautiful lady?"

"Although the child is not very rich, these two things are really not greedy." Cao Shu said with a smile: "I just want to ask my father for the titles of 100 partial generals, deputy generals, Yamen Generals and the lieutenant. The soldiers will not be rewarded at all in the future..."

"Hundreds?" Cao Cao was stunned: "What a big appetite!"

"Don't you keep it for later?" Cao Shuo said: "No one can give me rewards. Every time I come to see my father."

"Don't tell me these useless things." Cao Cao said, "I'm going to give you a hundred and ten official titles, but I don't know how you will do whatever you want. Go back and give me the entire list of those people under your command, and I will give you an official title one by one."

"Thank you, father!" Cao Shu didn't bargain and agreed very simply.

Cao Cao realized something was wrong.

He agreed too quickly!

It is fake to ask for a hundred official titles, but it is real to ask for rewards from subordinates.

A little accidental, he actually fell for his son.

"You boy!" Cao Cao glared at him.

Cao Shu quickly clasped his fists and said, "The child was too busy yesterday and had not yet gone to his mother's place to surrender to his father first."

Before Cao Cao could respond, Cao Shu had already run away.

Looking at his back, Cao Cao laughed in silence: "This kid..."

"Duke Cao!" Cao Shuo ran away, and Xu Chu asked Cao Cao confusedly: "What are you doing if you ask for so many official titles?"

"Zhongkang still doesn't understand?" Cao Cao laughed and said, "You and I have both been fooled by him."

"Be fooled?" Xu Chu said in surprise: "Young Master dares to let Mr. Cao be fooled?"

"What else is he afraid of?" Cao Cao said: "It is fake to ask for official titles, but it is true to ask for rewards from me for those under his command. It is nothing if you are fooled, but he didn't expect me to be imprisoned."

Xu Chu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Young Master is playing with his mind in front of Cao Gong, but hasn't it been seen through by Cao Gong?"

"So what can I do if I see through it? Haven't I agreed to him yet?" Cao Cao said: "Zhongkang, I'm in a good mood today, accompany me out for a walk."

"Where is Mr. Cao going?" Xu Chu asked.

"I missed His Majesty very much for many days." Cao Cao said, "I will arrange it and I will accompany His Majesty to take a walk on the Shooting Lutai."

"It's neither spring nor autumn. Could it be that Cao Gong wants to hunt in winter?" Xu Chu asked.

"In winter, wild animals are thin, and shooting them is just a waste of time to hurt their lives." Cao Cao said: "Your Majesty must be bored in the palace all day. I will accompany him out for a walk, and he will be more happy."

"It's still thoughtful that Cao Gong thought about it." Xu Chu said: "I'll make arrangements now!"

Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to ask Liu Xie to leave the palace to shoot the deer platform, while Cao Shuo came straight to Ding Yao's residence.

After entering the courtyard, Cao Shu didn't hear the movement in the room and asked the maid carefully: "Is your mother here?"

Before the maid could respond, Ding Yao's voice came from the room: "Since you are here, don't be like a thief."

Hearing Ding Yao talking, Cao Shu entered the house with a smile on his face.

Ding Yao sat in front of the dressing table, and a maid was combing her hair.

Cao Shu saw that her face was not very good in the bronze mirror, and bowed and said with a shy face: "The child has seen his mother. After a long time of separation, his mother is still as radiant as when the child left."

"Why didn't you come yesterday?" Ding Yao asked lightly.

"I was so busy yesterday." Cao Shuo said with his fingers: "There is something in the army and the family, and my father arranged a lot of things for me..."

"So I forgot my mother." Ding Yao said unhappily.

"How can it be!" Cao Shuo leaned forward, knelt beside Ding Yao, looked up at Ding Yao and said, "I'm not hiding it from my mother, I want to come here when I return to Xudu..."

"Then why don't you come?" Ding Yao asked afterwards.

"The child has already said that there are so many things..." Cao Shu wanted to explain with a bitter look on his face.

"I don't think you're having a lot of trouble, but you don't dare to come." Ding Yao glanced at him and said, "Tell me, why don't you kill Zhang Xiu?"

Before coming to meet Ding Yao, Cao Shu knew that the topic of the question would come eventually.

He said apologetically: "I want to kill him in Rang County..."

"Then why don't you kill?" Ding Yao asked, "Can you forget that Zi Xu died at his hands?"

"It's not that I don't want to kill!" Cao Shuo looked bitter: "It's that Zhang Xiu had surrendered at that time, I really am..."

"I really forgot my brother's grudge." Ding Yao interrupted him: "No wonder, you and Zixie have not grown up together since childhood, and their relationship is not very good."

"Mother blamed me wrongly!" Cao Shu said quickly: "I actually thought of a better way to take revenge when I let Zhang Xiu live."
