Until this moment.
Cao Song's mentality was still relatively relaxed.
Because he still has one last resort, which is to remain anonymous and go astray.
No matter what Cao Cao wants to do.
No matter what requests Cao Cao made or threats he made to him as a father.
Cao Song can ignore it.
The worst he can do is run away!
It is completely possible to pack up things, leave a few older generations of the family to look after the house, and the rest of the people will move with him and leave the nest of Qiao County.
Move directly to the coast of the East China Sea.
Since then, he has lived in low profile and seclusion.
So what does Cao Cao's troubles in Yanzhou have to do with him as a father?
He could completely ignore any action taken by Cao Cao and just regard it as a separation between the family and the individual. Even if Dong Zhuo wins in the future, it will not be settled on himself and the family.
The old man is still a very realistic person.
After realizing the political danger and having no confidence in his son, he believed that once he participated, there was a high probability that he would end up miserable.
Then decisively choose to preserve the more important party.
That is the survival of the family.
Meng De can make trouble if he likes to make trouble. If he succeeds in making trouble, he will only think that I, the father, have no vision.
If his trouble fails, the disaster will not affect the Cao family. This is a two-pronged strategy.
However, this is a self-proclaimed strategy of advancing and retreating in a measured way.
After Cao Ang said the third sentence.
Collapse instantly.
…
Turn around and face Cao Song.
Cao Ang put his hands in his sleeves.
Then his tone was erratic and he said meaningfully: "Father's last words were precisely aimed at your reaction."
After saying that.
Cao Ang started to perform again.
Continue to imitate Cao Cao's tone and demeanor.
"Son, if your grandfather was determined not to use his family wealth to support my rebellion, he would also want to drag the family away from the dispute and remain anonymous."
"Then tell him, old man, this move is useless. When I raise an army to attack Dong Zhuo, I will definitely raise the banner of my predecessor Cao Taiwei."
"Not only did they recruit troops and build an army under the banner of Captain Cao, but they also told everyone that our raising an army was under the instruction of our predecessor, Captain Cao."
"I also want to write a message to spread throughout the world and send it directly to Dong Zhuo, so that Dong Zhuo can prepare the head and present it directly when Captain Cao comes to the capital in the future!"
"So, let's see where the old man hides!"
Of course Cao Cao would not say such a thing.
It is even more impossible to do so.
After all, Cao Song is his father.
The father is unwilling to support his own career, nor is he willing to contribute money. From the perspective of filial piety, can he, a son, still be forced to do so?
Therefore, it was impossible for Cao Cao to do this. In fact, without Cao Song's support, he could only find a way to get some resources from others.
But Cao Song didn’t know about this!
How could he know what Cao Cao was thinking?
Cao Ang learned a lot about his tone again.
That expression, that demeanor, and even the way he danced when he spoke were exactly like Cao Cao.
"puff!"
"Cough cough cough!"
The old man just picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.
After hearing what Cao Ang said, all the water spurted out, and he choked on the water and coughed one after another.
Cao Song had only one idea at the moment.
That is, Cao Cao definitely said these words, otherwise Zixiu would not have been able to retell it so completely and vividly. It was definitely a reprint of the original version!
And based on his understanding of his son.
Cao Cao could definitely do such a rebellious thing.
In order to achieve the goal in his heart, he can do anything, and threatening his father is a piece of cake.
All kinds of combinations.
This is definitely his son Cao Cao’s idea!
And at this moment.
Far away in Dingtao County, Jiyin County.
Cao Cao sneezed a dozen times in succession.
…
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
Cao Song was so angry that he overturned the table.
The tea bowls and heaters placed on the table fell to the floor with clatter.
"Treason!"
"Why did I give birth to such a bastard!"
"Wow! How dare you threaten him!"
"You force me to give you money, and if you don't give me the money, you still have to put my name on it. You want me to have nowhere to hide, right?"
"Okay, very good!"
"Ah Man, Ah Man, I'm going to pack my things and go to Dingtao County now. I want to stand in front of you and ask if you dare to write my name on the flag!"
Cao Song was simply stunned.
This bastard Cao Cao actually threatened him!
But this threat is very effective.
Directly on the fatal point.
Once Cao Cao really raised the banner of his predecessor, Cao Song, and told everyone he had received orders from Cao Taiwei, then Cao Song would really become famous.
Still want to remain anonymous and avoid disputes?
Let’s dream!
No matter where he hides, the halo is like the sun shining brightly on his head, and any shadow will have nowhere to hide, so how can he hide?
How poisonous!
Why didn't I see that this kid Ah Hao actually had such vicious thoughts?
Damn you, I didn’t expect that I, Cao Song, had been around for so many years and was so old that I would stumble on my son. It was clearly arranged.
…
Cao Cao was indeed wronged.
Not only did he never think of threatening his father.
Even these so-called three sentences were forcibly arranged by Cao Ang for him.
The purpose is to proceed step by step.
Step by step, the old man was introduced into the trap.
At the same time, Cao Cao and Cao Song are father and son after all. Compared with the relationship between grandfather and grandson, they should be closer to each other and easier to talk to.
Certain words borrowed from Cao Cao's tone were heard by Cao Song and had a deterrent effect.
If Cao Ang talks about these things himself.
I'm afraid that Cao Song will not pay attention to the young people's opinions, and the two will become even more furious and ignore them.
Therefore, today's blame can only be thrown to Cao Cao, and he must bear it even if he doesn't.
After Cao Song complained.
The anger finally cooled down.
The whole person also calmed down.
After calling a few servants to come into the room and clean up the mess on the floor, Cao Song sat down on the cushions, feeling weak and without energy.
The truth is that I don’t know what to do.
If you want to be angry and refuse to agree, this threat is real.
But Cao Song was unwilling to ask him to pay out obediently and went against his original intention.
At that time, there will be no contact with each other, and once the liquidation occurs, the family will not be able to hide at all.
Just when he was struggling in his heart.
Cao Ang sat down beside him.
Zhuang Ruo said quietly unintentionally.
"Grandpa, in fact, from my grandson's point of view, since things have reached this point, why not do the opposite and just help him to the end?"
"Um?"
Cao Song responded with some confusion.
Turning his head to look at Cao Ang.
"Ang'er, what do you mean by this?"
At this moment.
The whole persuasion operation has reached its final stage.
Cao Song had been forced into a corner by the three sentences compiled by Cao Ang.
Now all he needs to do is give him another push.
This will be done.
…
I saw a look of doubt on Cao Song's face.
Cao Ang showed a slight smile, his voice was ups and downs, and he said in a persuasive manner.
"I know what you are thinking. It is nothing more than wanting to preserve the family. Even if my father goes out on his own, regardless of success or failure, our Cao family will be safe and sound."
"But now this idea is no longer possible. My father has made it clear that he wants to raise the banner and threatens you so much that it's useless for you to hide."
"In this case, it is better to devote all the efforts of the whole family to support my father, let him quickly grow in strength, and strive to defeat Dong Zhuo in one go."
"Even if we don't win and the alliance is broken, as long as my father still has the soldiers and horses under his command and is still strong, he will not be afraid of revenge from others."
"This is called doing the opposite!"
The words fell.
Cao Song fell silent immediately.
He couldn't hear these words before, and it was impossible to think about them.
But these days are different.
Cao Cao's words threatening to raise the flag of his predecessor Cao Taiwei were like morning bells and evening drums, ringing in his ears all the time.
Cao Song had to consider it.
What Zixiu said... does make some sense.
He didn't mean that he had to go against Cao Cao or huddle up like a turtle, but he was just worried that his family would be implicated.
But now that being implicated is inevitable, let's just do our best to help Cao Cao gain the upper hand.
Also try to protect yourself!
Although the father was threatened by his son, he had to make concessions in the end, and even had to devote all the strength of the family to support him.
This made Cao Song very aggrieved, but he was not a childish person.
After thinking clearly.
Cao Song slapped the table hard.
There was a "bang" sound.
"good!"
"What Ang'er said makes sense!"
"If that's the case, then I will follow your father and give it a try, risking the entire family's fortune."
"If we can win a big victory, our Cao family may become a century-old prominent family from now on, no longer a small wealthy family limited to one county and one place."
Cao Song is not a gambler.
He would rather seek stability.
These words just sound nicer and more powerful.
…
After finalizing the matter.
Cao Song no longer hesitated.
He put one hand on the table, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and at the same time started to mutter in his mouth.
"Since we want to give full support, money and food are indispensable. We have money in the house, but not much food."
"Just in case you stay here for a few more days, I'll ask the servants in each room and the house to make preparations during these days and exchange part of the money for food. When you leave, load the car and leave together. "
Cao Song made decisive arrangements.
Cao Ang, on the other hand, sat aside and kept saying yes.
After just a few words of response.
He suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, won't you come with me to stay in Dingtao County?"
Cao Song was stunned for a moment.
But he quickly reacted and shook his head quickly.
"What am I doing there?"
"Our Cao family has lived in Qiao County for a long time. Your grandfather and I are familiar with the people here. I am used to this house and the scenes in and outside the city."
"If you ask me to move to Dingtao County at this time, wouldn't it mean that I would be in a completely unfamiliar environment? How could I live with peace of mind?"
"I will stay at my hometown and wait quietly for the good news about you and your son!"
Restoration and relocation.
This is a concept that has been imprinted in our minds for generations. Unless there are major changes or they have to leave, most people still choose to stay as long as they can.
Unless it is particularly necessary.
Cao Ang didn't want Cao Song to follow him to Jiyin County at his age, so it was no big deal to let the old man stay in his hometown.
The key is that you will die if you stay in your hometown!
Once he and his father raise an army and become a force, then after the crusade against Dong Zhuo, hostile forces will naturally arise.
And relatives like Cao Song left behind will become the weaknesses of the father and son, and become candidates for targeted attacks by hostile forces.
Just like the Xuzhou Rebellion caused by the death of Cao Song in history.
Not only did he lose a relative, he also laid the foundation for Cao Wei's power.
This is what Cao Ang doesn't want to see.
Therefore, he must protect Cao Song, his younger brothers and sisters and other important members by his side, at least within Cao Wei's sphere of influence.
…
After Cao Song refused.
Cao Ang was not impatient, but continued to persuade him calmly: "Staying in one place all the time, even though you are familiar with the people, you will always get tired of it."
"What's more, Jiyin County is so far away from Peiguo. If you are unwilling to move there, if your grandson wants to visit you again in the future, you will have to walk a long way and spend a lot of time."
"On the contrary, if you can live with your father and the others, your grandson can always be at your side. If I have a child in the future, you can watch him grow up."
"Isn't this wonderful?!"
Cao Song's eyes suddenly flashed.
There is obvious emotion in his eyes.
Cao Ang's last words were so devastating that even if Cao Song didn't want to leave his hometown, he couldn't help but be tempted by them.
It’s fun to play with your grandson!
This is definitely a very enjoyable thing for an elderly person.
And now the grandson has grown up.
I can no longer entertain and accompany you like I did when I was a child.
If he could have a great-grandson, four generations of the Cao family would live under the same roof. As an old man, he could once again enjoy the pleasure of watching the youngest generation grow up.
This proposal is indeed very tempting!
Seeing the old man, my heart skipped a beat.
Cao Ang added fire.
"When my grandson leaves, he will definitely take Ari, Ah Shuo and the others with him. By then, there won't be many people left in my hometown!"
This statement is final.
Adds a weight to the option of leaving.
As said.
If the younger generation all left, wouldn't this bad old man be lonely?
There is really nothing to talk about with those middle-aged juniors who are already in their thirties.
It would be better to go to Dingtao County.
…
After thinking about it again and again.
Cao Song then smiled and said.
"That's all, that's all. My dear grandson, you are too talkative. Grandpa will just listen to you."
"In the past few days, I have asked people to pack up. If you are willing to follow, we can go to Dingtao County to live together."
Speaking of which.
Cao Song suddenly clenched his right fist.
Then he feinted violently in the air.
Then he put on a fierce look.
Some gritted his teeth and said, "Just in time, I'm going to Dingtao County to learn about your father's bastard skills. If you are brave enough, dare to threaten me!"
"I want to see if he can dare it in person!"
To this.
Cao Ang can only communicate with Cao Cao in advance after returning, and you can be happy for the rest of your father.
Anyway, I worked so hard for the sake of our Cao family's career, and it was right for the old comrade to take the blame.
…
Monthly ticket recommendation ticket
Sure enough, Mr. Weng's six thousand words have been added, and there are still 2,000 words that are added to the thousand orders. Of course, it has not yet reached 1,000 orders at this point, but I don't care, I will treat it as 1,000!
By the way, there were too many updates on the shelves yesterday, and I feel like the brothers are a bit overwhelmed.
Today I was hesitating whether to give out 20,000 or 12,000. After thinking about it, I decided to give out 20,000. I hope everyone will support me!
