In the history that Cao Wu has experienced, there was once a saying about the Three Dogs in Taichung, and He Yan was one of the three dogs in Shangshutai.
Out of jealousy, Cao Pi didn't like He Yan, but He Yan was the best among Cao Cao's many biological and adopted children. When there were some matters that really needed to be discussed between brothers, Cao Pi would tell He Yan.
Cao Wu directly asked him if he knew. It was just a stick with a date but no date. Unexpectedly, looking at He Yan's performance, he actually knew something.
"There is nothing noble in the world, who taught you?"
Cao Wu picked up a wine glass.
He Yan was even more frightened. He was afraid of getting wet with wine again, so he backed away a few steps: "Don't force me, my foster father will stand up for me."
"Oh, your adoptive father, my brother. Who do you think he will help if I beat you?"
In front of so many dandy boys, He Yan really didn't want to say it, but Cao Wu kept forcing him. It seemed that he had to force him to say it in front of so many people to have any effect.
"this……"
Half a year ago, He Yan would have said without hesitation that Cao Cao would help him, but so many things had happened in the past six months. He Yan had already known about the relationship between Cao Wu and Cao Cao, and he was a little unsure who Cao Cao would help.
"I tell you who he will help. If I scold you, he will beat you, if I hit you, he will..."
Cao Wu made an expression like wiping his neck.
He Yan broke out in a cold sweat. Although Cao Cao had always had a good attitude towards him, he knew very well that Cao Cao was actually a murderer. He would kill people if he disagreed with him. Many people who disagreed with him would be killed.
Would Cao Cao kill himself just because Cao Cao didn't say a word?
In fact, of course it wouldn't be so extreme, but He Yan didn't dare to gamble.
Unlike the Cao Pi brothers, he was supported by Cao Cao's first wife, Mrs. Bian, and his mother was already old and wan.
"Say, I said..."
He Yan hesitated and finally spoke slowly.
"Actually, I also know that I don't have many ears. Now these are all information obtained by circumstantial information. I only know that Zijian and the others want to do a big thing in Luoyang. If they succeed, they will take the opportunity to persuade their adoptive father to become a duke. .”
When he said this, all the dandy boys were in an uproar.
"These two beasts are so brave."
Cao Wu also frowned after hearing this.
There was a lot of uproar when Jingzhou was conquered last year. It is said that Yang Xiu, who supported Cao Zhi, was the first to say this.
But Yang Xiu's family, the Hongnong Yang family, didn't seem to agree, and in the end the family silenced Yang Xiu.
Later, the incident was delayed due to Cao Wu's impeachment, and finally nothing came to an end.
People have always been enthusiastic about persuading people to advance. Just because persuasion is successful, there will be many ministers who will follow the dragon, and their status will rise.
But none of them knew what Cao Cao was thinking, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Only Cao Wu knew that in history, Cao Cao was defeated at Chibi, was no longer able to march south, and finally lost interest, so he agreed to take the Duke of Wei.
But it's different now. At Chibi Camp, he had a deep talk with Cao Cao. Now Cao Cao is not interested in dukes. He feels that he can fight again, conquer more land, and usher in peace in the world. He thinks more about that. time to discuss his own place in history.
However, after asking about this matter, Cao Wu was relieved.
He had always been afraid that the Cao Pi brothers would make a big fuss, but now that he knew it was just a small fight like this, he let them do it. Anyway, Cao Cao will reprimand them when the time comes.
Those dandy boys, when they heard about such a sensitive topic, did not dare to say anything more and looked embarrassed.
Cao Wu looked around, thinking that such a small thing had tied these dandy boys together.
"A few stay and the rest go."
After Cao Wu said the names of the people left behind, the others were relieved and quickly dispersed. However, those who were left behind were all crying.
Six months ago, Cao Wu asked them to stay, and they might have ignored him, but now, with Cao Wu carrying the momentum of a great victory in Jiaozhou, they had no choice but to stay here in a good manner.
The only ones left behind were relatives of the Xun You, Cheng Yu, and Jia Xu families, as well as Xia Houmao and He Ang. Because Cao Wu was going to attend the appointment between the three of them, he had to learn something from these descendants.
He soon learned that Jia Xu had closed his door to thank guests recently and had not appeared for a long time. Xun You and Cheng Yu were getting older and did not go out to fight anymore. Instead, they stayed in Yecheng selected by Cao Cao. They arrived at Xuzhou yesterday. All.
As for Cao Cao, he was neither in Xudu nor Yecheng, but in Qiao County, Peiguo, Cao's hometown.
After Cao Wu inquired about the news, he was ready to put these dandy boys back.
Xia Houmao lowered his head and reminded in Cao Wu's ear: "Uncle, don't blame my nephew for being meddlesome. I heard many people say that the owner of this wine shop is very powerful and should not be offended. Next time if something happens to my uncle, But if you have a party in my house, you don’t have to come here again!”
Cao Wu looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Then do you know the boss of this place?"
Xia Houmao shook his head, Xun Yun and others also shook their heads, only He Yan's eyes lit up.
Cao Wu glared at him, and He Yan stopped what he wanted to say and looked at Xia Houmao with some sympathy.
Soon, Xun Yun and others came to their senses and quickly pulled Xia Houmao downstairs.
Xia Houmao touched his head and didn't understand what was wrong with them.
When everyone left the restaurant, He Yan complained: "You guys, that restaurant is the property of the Beifu family, and it belongs to Cao Wu!"
"What!"
Xiahou Mao was shocked. The Xiahou family had a close relationship with the Cao family. Xiahou Dun was Cao Cao's most trusted general. After being ennobled, he had the largest number of fiefdoms among military officers. His family was very rich. Even so, he still felt that this wine shop was too luxurious. .
"It actually belongs to my uncle? How is this possible!"
Xia Houmao couldn't believe it, but considering all Cao Wu's actions, including riding his horse into the wine shop last time, nothing happened.
He stopped trying to defend himself.
"Uncle... he is truly a god!"
Xia Houmao was finally convinced and shook his head.
Immediately, he thought about the last time Cao Wu gave him advice and asked him to go to the military camp and start training as a soldier.
Maybe what my uncle said was right? Should I go and practice?
He returned home with something on his mind.
Xiahou Dun, who had not been at home for a long time, was also at home for some reason. When Xiahou Dun told him about his encounter with Cao Wu today, he became furious and felt that his son was not active enough.
So Xia Houmao was spanked again at home. His butt was so raw that he didn't even understand why he wasn't attentive enough to Cao Wu.
…
On the other side, Cao Wu, who stayed on the top floor of the wine shop, dipped a few drops of wine with his fingers, tapped five tables on the tables, and murmured: "Xudu, Chang'an, Luoyang, Yecheng, and Qiao County are all so beautiful. There seems to be trouble in all the five northern capitals except Chang'an. It's such a troubled time."
It seemed that Jiaozhou's victory had made Xu Du become fanatical.
When soldiers were fighting abroad, the country had to be governed. Those aristocratic families took the opportunity to occupy civil servant positions and formed a huge force. They had never been on the battlefield, but they had a lot of authority. Once they get moving, their strength cannot be ignored.
The victory in Jiaozhou gave them an opportunity. Cao Wuneng felt that the entire Xudu was ready to make a move, especially the Cao Pi brothers.
However, no matter what, I still have to go to the appointment with the three counselors to see what they think of the current situation.
