Chapter 463 Royal affairs

Ailang was surprised when he heard Xu Shu's words and asked, "Can you guess?" Xu Shu nodded with a smile. Ailang couldn't help but become interested and said, "Okay. Come and guess. What did Cao Cao say to me?"

Xu Shu smiled slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Since the lord is inquiring, my subordinates dared to guess. I think Cao Cao should be warning the lord not to use troops to Sun Jian and Liu Bei..." Everyone looked at Ailang curiously, wanting to know if Xu Shu guessed it. Ailang looked surprised and his eyes widened. Everyone knew immediately when he saw Ailang's appearance. Xu Shu's guess must be correct at all, and they all felt admiration for Xu Shu.

Ai Lang gave Xu Shu a thumbs up and praised: "Old Xu, I think you are simply a demon!" Xu Shu clasped his fists and said: "Lord, I am so sorry for this praise!"

Wen Chou couldn't help but shout and cursed, "Cao Cao doesn't allow us to attack, so we won't attack? Why should we listen to him?" Several powerful generals shouted and echoed.

Xu Shu smiled and said to Wen Chou: "Of course we won't listen to Cao Cao. However, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is indeed not appropriate to launch an attack for the time being. First, our army has just occupied Jingzhou and Jiangxia Changsha, and the people's hearts are unstable and there is still a lot of work to do. If you are eager for quick success and instant benefits, you will probably lose the big picture because of the small. This is one of them, and the other is Cao Cao's threat. Cao Cao's meeting with the lord this time must be to clearly threaten us. We must know that if our army continues to attack Sun Jian or Liu Bei, Cao's army will definitely do its best to attack us. He wants to defeat others without occupying the enemy's army!..."

Zhao Yun couldn't help but say, "Military advisor, the last general thinks that since Cao Cao spoke like this, he must be unwilling to go to war with us again!"

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Zilong is right, what's going on? But Cao Cao is unwilling to fight with us but does not mean that he will not fight with us!" The people present felt a little dizzy when they heard his tongue twister words, and they didn't understand what Xu Shu meant for a while. Xu Shu continued, "Cao Cao wanted to protect Liu Bei and Sun Jian, but he was unwilling to start a full-scale war with us now, so he invited the lord to meet to clearly convey his meaning! His meaning was two layers, one was unwilling.

Now the battle with me is that if we attack Liu Bei and Sun Jian, he has to avenge the army to fight our army in advance! This is not an empty threat, but a clear expression of his attitude to achieve the purpose of a temporary truce! In other words, what Cao Cao has played for us this time was not a conspiracy, but an open conspiracy! What he asked us to choose in the end!” Everyone suddenly realized when they heard Xu Shu’s words. Zhao Yun couldn’t help but sigh: “This Cao Cao is really a hero! What he did is really unexpected!”

Ailang nodded and said, "Old Xu is right. Cao Cao gives me this feeling! That's what he means!" Then he couldn't help but curse, "But this old bastard's attitude of everything being in control makes me very upset!"

Xu Shu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry! I won't act impulsively! Besides, fighting is quite tiring, right? I have already expressed my opinion in front of Cao Cao and will not make things difficult for Liu Bei and Sun Jian again! Of course, this is only temporary!" Xu Shu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Lord is wise!" Then he thought, "Cao Cao's goal has obviously been achieved. However, he inadvertently revealed his thoughts. He seemed to think that our army's current goal is either Sun Jian or Liu Bei..."

Ailang looked at Xu Shu, and suddenly felt his heart moved, and said with a smile: "Old Xu, you are so smart and smart, just calculate something else." Xu Shu withdrew his thoughts, smiled and clasped his fists and said: "Lord, but I have a fate, how dare I not obey my subordinates? But I don't know what the lord wants to be subordinates?" Ailang smiled, and a narrow-minded expression appeared in his eyes, and said: "Even if you calculate, when I met Cao Cao, what else did I say besides what I said just now?"

Xu Shu was stunned, then thought for a moment, smiled and clasped his fists and said, "Although the lord and Cao Cao are mortal enemies, they are also related to father-in-law and son-in-law. I guess they have also told me some things about Mrs. Cao Ying?"

Ailang shook his head and said, "No." Xu Shu was surprised and then showed a thoughtful expression. Ailang held back his smile and said, "I will remind you that Cao Cao and I are talking about women." When he said this, Ailang smiled in his stomach: If you can guess the mess that Cao Cao said out of thin air, wouldn't you really become a god?

When Xu Shu heard that it was a topic about women, the first thing he thought of was Mrs. Cao Ying, but when he thought that the lord had denied the answer just now, what else would he say about women? Is it the lord's other lord's wife? No, what does the other lord have to do with Cao Cao? What did the lord and Cao Cao talk about when they were doing? Then he thought of someone, and he thought that it was her right, so he clasped his fists and said, "Lord, my subordinates guess that the woman the lord and Cao Cao talked about must be the empress?"

Ai Lang was very surprised. He didn't expect Xu Shu to guess the queen. Could it be that he and the queen could have any unclear relationship? He shook his head with a smile and said, "No, right!" Xu Shu couldn't help but feel discouraged and curious when he saw that he was still wrong. He clasped his fists and said, "I have admitted defeat, please tell me!" Ai Lang smiled in his stomach and said, "How can I say such a thing?" He waved his hand with a smile and said, "I don't want to do anything about this, it's better not to say it." Seeing this, Xu Shu couldn't help but mutter, and he was even more curious about what the lord said, but since the lord didn't want to say it, it's natural that he couldn't ask for it as his subordinate!

Cao Cao left the 350,000 army and Cao Ren and Xun You in Nanyang, but he returned to Xuchang.

That night, the emperor set up a banquet in the palace to welcome Cao Cao and others. Cao Cao was so excited that he actually danced a horse spear in front of the emperor. For a moment, the strong wind roared and cold light flashed at the banquet, which shocked an emperor so much that he was trembling and did not dare to let out. Cao Cao could not help but feel angry when he saw the emperor's appearance. The horse spear pointed at the emperor's nose and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty is the Lord of Wan Cheng, how can you be so cowardly! Come on, come on, I will teach Your Majesty the method of dancing spear!"

The emperor had no choice but to stand up and walk out in panic. Seeing that the emperor was so cowardly, the ministers present could not help but laugh secretly, but a few who were interested in the emperor could not help but shook their heads and sighed. Empress Cao Jie frowned, complaining that her father made things difficult for her husband, and dissatisfied with the emperor's uselessness. Now the Han empress has become Cao Jie, and the previous Concubine Dong was thrown into the cold palace according to Cao Cao's wishes. In history, Concubine Dong was strangled to death by Cao Cao, but in this disturbed time and space, she did not die, but was just thrown into the cold palace.

The emperor walked to Cao Cao, clasped his fists and said, "Please, please give me advice!" Cao Cao immediately handed the horse spear to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, let's dance and watch! I'm here to guide Your Majesty!"

The emperor had to pick up the horse spear, and felt that he was heavy and almost couldn't hold it. He hugged his hands and staggered forward and took a half step. A few loud laughs sounded in the hall. Cao Jie's face turned red and shameless, and couldn't help but say to Cao Cao: "Father, Your Majesty has no power to tie a chicken, I'm afraid that he can't move the horse spear! Let's give up this matter!"

Cao Cao waved his hand angrily, "Even in the past, I ignored the exercise of martial arts, which made His Majesty so weak! From now on, His Majesty must practice martial arts, and start from today's spear dance!" Then he saw the emperor holding the horse spear and still not moving, he frowned and shouted angrily, "Your Majesty does not move at all, is there anyone who dances like this horse spear?" A few more laughs sounded in the hall. The emperor said tremblingly, "Is I not able to dance the spear..." Cao Cao waved his hand and shouted loudly, "How can a man be a real man retreat in fear of difficulties? No matter what difficulties he encounters, he should use his will to overcome him!" As he said that, he made a forward stab at his hands, and said, "Your Majesty will do it according to the movements of his minister!"

The emperor could not do so, so he had to raise the horse spear with both hands and make a pricking move. However, the horse spear was heavy, and the emperor had problems with his force. He immediately lost his center of gravity and fell forward and fell to the ground. He looked very embarrassed! A burst of laughter broke out in the hall! Cao Zhi was the one who laughed the most exaggeratedly!

The emperor fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a moment. Although Cao Jie hated his husband for being useless, he could not watch him fall to the ground without caring about it. He quickly stood up and ran over to help him up. The emperor looked at Cao Cao tremblingly. Cao Cao shook his head and sighed, and sighed in a tone of regret that he was unable to make a living: "Why are you so useless? As the emperor, how can you control the world?" The emperor was shocked and could not speak.

Cao Jie said angrily: "Your Majesty was not good at this, why did my father make things difficult for him?" Cao Cao frowned and said: "Why am I making things difficult for him? Now that I am alive, I can wipe out the world and conquer all directions for him. But after I die, who will do such a thing for him? So weak, wouldn't it be eaten alive by those evil wolves?" Cao Jie couldn't speak, and felt that what his father said was not unreasonable.

Cao Cao waved his hand and said unhappily: "Forget it! Today's banquet ends here!" After that, he strode outside. Seeing Cao Cao leaving, everyone stood up and bowed to the emperor, and left the hall.

The emperor returned to the back bedroom with Cao Jie's help and suddenly burst into tears. Cao Jie was shocked and asked quickly, "Why is Your Majesty crying?" But the emperor just cried bitterly and did not speak. Cao Jie was uneasy and asked repeatedly. The emperor finally stopped crying and looked at Cao Jie with tears in his eyes.
