Chen Zhou was surprised when he saw Sima Yi.
However, it was not impossible to accompany Sima Yi for a walk. They walked outside together. The snow was not so deep now, so it was quite easy to walk on it.
"Congratulations, sir, for going to war with Prime Minister Cao and coming back with great achievements."
As Cao Cao's literary lieutenant, Sima Yi could usually accompany the army into battle, but this time Cao Cao did not take Sima Yi with him.
"How can I get any credit? I just went to join in the fun and make up the number of people."
Chen Zhou shook his head and said.
Sima Yi smiled and said: "Sir, you are keeping a low profile. If I am not wrong, the four northern states can be pacified, and your credit is at least half of it. Without you, the war would not have gone so smoothly."
Chen Zhou was thinking, Sima Yi suddenly chatted with him, just about military achievements?
Does this old Sima thief have any special ideas and want to trick himself?
In Chen Zhou's heart, Sima Yi was not a good person. He had always been wary of him. He also felt that Sima Yi was too stubborn. He worked hard until he became a powerful official in the Wei Dynasty and killed Cao Cao, his son, and Zhuge Liang. He was indeed a character.
"It's not low-key, you exaggerated it."
Chen Zhou could only respond casually, but also wanted to see how the other party could trick him.
However, Sima Yi did not use any tricks and simply chatted with Chen Zhou. When he reached the vicinity of Chen Zhou's house, he politely said goodbye and left, going back to his Sima house.
Chen Zhou: "..."
What on earth does this Sima Yi want to do?
Or do you have any plans?
Chen Zhou couldn't guess, but based on his bad impression of Sima Yi, anything was possible. He felt that no matter what Sima Yi did, it was abnormal.
Sima Yi returned home, and after entering the door, he saw Sima Lang and Sima Fu.
"I just came back from outside and saw Chen Zhou."
Sima Yi said: "He came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion. It is said that Prime Minister Cao greeted someone from Jingzhou today. If I guessed correctly, it must be Cai Mao."
Sima Lang exclaimed: "Liu Bei is also a capable man. He has not been in Jingzhou for a long time. He so easily forced Cai Hao out of Jingzhou, sidelined Liu Qi, and began to take power in Jingzhou. This ability is admirable!"
In fact, they all know that it is not entirely Liu Bei's ability.
Maybe there is such a capable person under Liu Bei who can guide him how to do it.
But in such a short period of time, they used such ruthless means to obtain Jingzhou, which is enough for them to admire.
"People outside are spreading two things. One is that Cai Hao killed Liu Biao, and the other is that Liu Bei killed Liu Biao."
"No matter who killed him, the biggest winner is Liu Bei."
"In addition, Cai Mao is in Jingzhou and has no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao. He will die wherever he goes."
Sima Fu also said.
They were not surprised at all that Cai Mao came to Xudu, it was all expected.
Sima Yi said: "Cao Cao, with Chen Zhou's assistance, quickly captured the four northern states. Liu Bei didn't know whose assistance he got to capture Jingzhou. I have a hunch that if they fight in the future, they will definitely be strong enemies of each other. In fact, Liu Bei is also a hero!"
Although Liu Bei is very benevolent and righteous, everything he does is inseparable from the hero.
Sima Lang and Sima Fu agreed with Sima Yi's high regard for Liu Bei, and felt that Liu Bei was not a simple person.
This emperor's uncle just wants to be the emperor.
——
Cai Mao and Mrs. Cai were temporarily arranged into the guest room of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
In the evening, Cai Mao came to see us and said, "Second sister, our status in Xudu depends entirely on you."
Although some words were difficult to say, and he was still a little ashamed and embarrassed, he still went out of his way to persuade Mrs. Cai.
"Degui, why?"
Mrs. Cai asked in confusion.
Cai Mao said solemnly: "Prime Minister Cao likes women. Many people know this. The second sister is naturally beautiful and has conquered the country. Just now, Prime Minister Cao has fallen in love with the second sister. I believe the second sister knows it."
Mrs. Cai originally wanted to pretend to be reserved.
But Cai Mao spoke so directly that she lost her reserve and asked, "What does Degui want me to do?"
Go sleep with Cao Cao, she won't resist.
Only by being favored by Cao Cao can we live a good life. Besides, Cao Cao is also a very good person. He is the most powerful prince in the world to pacify the north. He is powerful and can help them take revenge.
"Tonight, go find Prime Minister Cao."
"It's best to bring some wine with you. Drinking will help the fun."
Cai Mao could only say so much, he understood everything.
If you go on to say it, it's just that the selling sister is asking for glory and wants to save some face for herself.
"Tonight? Is it too urgent?"
Mrs. Cai said.
Cai Mao shook his head and said, "There's no rush, it's still a sign of sincerity."
Mrs. Cai thought it was right and had a plan in mind.
night.
Cao Cao was handling some government affairs in the study. Mrs. Cai opened the door and came in with a bottle of wine in her hand and said with a smile: "Meet Prime Minister Cao."
He thought someone had come in to disturb him, and Cao Cao was about to get angry, but when he heard the soft voice, he raised his head and looked at the charming Mrs. Cai. His eyes suddenly lit up and he glanced at Mrs. Cai with admiration.
Tonight, Mrs. Cai's clothes are even bolder.
The plump figure is even more exposed.
"It turns out to be Madam."
Cao Cao pretended to be a gentleman and asked, "Madam, why are you here? Are you still used to being in the house?"
Mrs. Cai smiled charmingly and said: "Prime Minister Cao's family is very nice and treats me very well. Therefore, I would like to treat Prime Minister Cao to have two glasses of wine to thank him for taking me in."
Cao Cao looked like he suddenly understood, but he was a master at this. He understood Madam Cai's intention at a glance and said with a smile: "The study is deserted and there is not even a heater. Why don't you go to my bedroom? The heater is very warm and the bed is big. How about you being able to rest even when you’re drunk?”
"OK!"
Mrs. Cai's voice sounded like that of a vixen, so charming.
Why go to the bedroom, why do you need a big bed?
Everyone who understands understands.
"Madam, please come with me!"
Cao Cao led the way, and Mrs. Cai twisted her waist to follow.
Mrs. Ding was about to come to see Cao Cao and give him some late-night snacks, but as soon as she arrived outside the study, she saw them returning talking and laughing, and her face suddenly darkened.
"Here we go again, hum!"
Mrs. Ding went back angrily.
——
Cao Gu received another task. It was very simple to complete, and he still needed to find someone.
Within Yingchuan, find the mother of a person named Xu Shu.
This Xu Shu may also be called Xu Fu.
The entire Yingchuan is under the control of the Cao family, and there are people from the Cao family everywhere. It is actually very simple to find someone. After assigning various detailed tasks, the results will come soon.
Cao Gu immediately came to Yangdi in Yingchuan and came to a small village outside the city.
Most of the people here were named Xu, and it looked like a village where clans gathered. For safety reasons, Cao Gu used his privileges to call a group of guards from Yangdi City to go to the village together.
