…

Liyang City, above the city tower.

"The lord is so wise! You can see Yin Lin's evil plan at a glance." Guo Tu couldn't help but sigh: "Look, Yin Lin's plan failed, these hundreds of thousands of people were so angry that they all retreated. Hey

hey-hey!"

It seems that I am used to flattering.

Guo Tu's three sentences are inseparable from the praises of Yuan Shao.

Shen Pei, who was standing aside, gave him a blank look.

"Mr. Yuan is not here, so you need to praise him like this, right? Who can I listen!"

"Ha!" Guo Tu turned around and looked directly at Shen Pei. "What? How dare you question your lord's decision?"

"Hmph..." Shen Pei snorted coldly, and he pointed at the hundreds of thousands of people who had left in front of him. "Of course I dare not question the lord's decision, but from their pace, I can feel that they

It was full of hope when it came, but it was full of resentment when it left!"

"So what?" Guo Tu sneered.

Shen Pei didn't even bother with Guo Tu at all, and immediately said coldly: "Kung-se, have you never thought that maybe it was the lord's suspicion and the flattery of you, a villain, that should belong to us.

The heart of 400,000 soldiers!”

"Shen Zhengnan, please pay attention to your words and deeds!" Guo Tu's eyes showed fierce light.

"I am open and honest, and my words and deeds can withstand the scrutiny of the lord and the common people in the north! I am not like you, a despicable and shameless villain who flatters!" Shen Pei took a step forward and suddenly scared Guo Tu.

"You, you, you, you...you..." Guo Tu stammered and couldn't speak...

But at this moment.

"Report...Mr. Guo, the eldest son raised another 60,000 troops from Qingzhou!"

A young man came to report quickly...

"good…"

Gu Hu/span>Guo Tu was quite excited when he heard that it was the eldest son Yuan Tan.

You should know that the middle-level civil and military organizations of the Yuan clan are divided into two factions: Jizhou Talent and Ruying clans, but in fact, if they follow the dispute between the prince.

Then the faction of the Ruying clan alone can be divided into three factions...

The eldest son Yuan Tan, led by Guo Tu, Xin Ping, Chen Lin, and Wu was led by Wang Zhao, Cen Bi and Peng An!

Wen is led by Shen Pei, Feng Ji, and Wu is led by Su You, Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang, Ma Yan, and Zhang Yan, the youngest son Yuan Shangyi!

There is also the second young master Yuan Xi who is relatively salty, and the only two martial artists under him, Jiao Chu and Zhang Nan!

It can be said that the struggle between the prince here is ten times more dangerous than the struggle between factions!

It is no wonder that Guo Tu was quite pleased when he heard that the eldest son Yuan Tan had raised troops!

"hehe…"

Unexpectedly, Shen Pei snorted coldly. "Young Master, I'm afraid you don't know yet. Mr. Shang has already raised 80,000 people in Jizhou. It seems that he is 20,000 more than Mr. Tan!"

This is a bare-fruit contempt...

Guo Tu's eyes were staring like a bronze bell. "Shen Zhengnan, don't forget that Mr. Tan is the eldest son! He is the best choice for the prince!"

Shen Pei shook his head. "I am loyal to Shen Zhengnan for my whole life. Whoever my lord said I will be loyal to."

The implication is that the lord Yuan Shao likes his younger son Yuan Shang even more...

"snort…"

With a cold snorkeling, Guo Tu and Shen matched each other, without any speculation... they parted in disagreement!

…

…

Guandu, in a study room,

The rain sounded gurgling outside the window, and under the lamp, Cao Cao was reading a bamboo slip attentively. It was "The Art of War" and Cao Cao's favorite military book.

It was also the books he recommended to Cao Cao when he was in the Imperial Academy... his master... Duan Bing, one of the Sanming Ming Dynasty in Liangzhou, and the books he recommended to Cao Cao for his whole life.

From this we can see that "The Art of War" has a high status in the minds of famous generals and ministers in this era.

Of course, not everyone regards Sun Tzu's Art of War as a god.

For example... Huangfu Song despised "The Art of War" very much. He liked to read "The Art of War of War", which is a completely different faction.

It is because of the different factions of military books that in the early days of the Yellow Turbans, Cao Cao was once appointed as a "Logistics Officer" under Huangfu Song's command!

At this moment... while studying, Cao Cao couldn't help but think of the stories of his youth in the past.

When Yu'er was as old as he was, he was still a demon beast boy and a playboy, right?

Just then...

"Cao Sikong, do you call me?" Xun You's voice came.

Cao Cao hurriedly put down the bamboo slips and stood up to welcome Xun You. Xun You, who had just entered the study, was still wearing wooden clogs and raincoats, and also holding a bamboo slip in his hand. It was the "Thirty-Six Strategies" compiled by Lu Yu!

"Haha... I've been waiting for you for a long time!" Cao Cao brought Xun You into the house. He noticed the "Thirty-Six Strategies" in Xun You's hand, and smiled slightly without saying anything.

Xun You stepped back from the straw raincoat and wiped his wet hands.

"Cao Sikong, it's getting late! I guess it's an urgent matter!"

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, but shook his head again. "But it is not."

He paused for a moment and continued to speak, "The news came from Xu Ducheng that my wife was about to give birth. This is the matter. I will come to you to talk about it!"

hiss…

Xun You's eyes rolled.

Mrs. Ding is about to give birth? This matter...

How smart is Xun You?

For such a private matter, how could Cao Cao discuss with an outsider like him?

But it happened that he came, and then... it was not just about this matter, it was about Lu Yu!

Subconsciously, Xun You could already realize that Cao Cao’s purpose was to talk about Lu Yu and the prince!

So…

Suddenly, Xun You thought of something, but he didn't speak. He chose... to let Cao Cao bring out the topic.

Sure enough, Cao Cao spoke, "Gongda, there are not many people in the entire Cao camp who know Yu'er's true identity. You and your uncle are two of them!"

Xun You's eyes suddenly condensed, as expected...it was indeed related to the prince!

Cao Cao's words continued. "Mrs. Ding is my wife. According to the rules of this prince, there is a legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legitimate legiti

That…"

Cao Cao didn't finish his words... he couldn't understand the meaning.

Xun You opened his mouth and said, "Is Cao Sikong worried that this legitimate son would threaten the eldest son to inherit the position of prince?"

"That's right!" Cao Cao nodded... "It was Ziyou before, but Ziyou was okay. After all, it was not my real wife who came out in person. I can let Yu'er recognize Ding Hui as her mother, so whether it is morality or rules.

It’s reasonable for the emperor to do it, but my wife is pregnant at this age and is about to give birth, which really disrupts all my plans!”

actually…

Cao Cao made a special trip to send someone to inquire. He was pregnant again because of Ding Hui's age!

It’s not that she is old, but... she has not had any movement in her stomach for twenty years. Even though it is related to Lao Cao’s hard work, Temao’s is too outrageous!

later…

The Hu Ben Army investigated secretly, and Cao Cao realized that it was Yu'er!

Yu'er caused him a big trouble!

call…

Cao Cao exhaled, but Xun You had a certain eyeball. It was difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family affairs, let alone Cao Cao's house affairs. Xun You dared not take care of them, nor could he do it.

He simply changed the subject directly.

"Cao Sikong, I'm afraid that it's not just Cao Sikong who has this trouble now..."

“Hmm?”

"When we returned from the detailed message from the northern border, Yuan Shao's health was not optimistic. His three sons, especially the eldest son Yuan Tan, were secretly competing with their younger son Yuan Shang. Now Yuan Shao is probably also trying to establish a prince.

And be distressed?"

hehe…

Hearing this, Cao Cao was happy. "Haha, Gongda, you really have the Spring and Autumn style of writing, and you have gone around Yuan Benchu... Haha, if it were your uncle, he would definitely advise me to follow the rules and follow the ancestral system..."
To be continued...
