Three Kingdoms: Gou Shen I was overheard by Cao Cao

Page 863

Of course, he couldn't reprimand Xu Chu for Sima Yi's sixth child, but he couldn't favor Xu Chu because of this, otherwise it would easily arouse dissatisfaction among the generals.

"Nothing! What is the crime? Zhongkang, it is your duty to protect me, and it is also my order!"

"Not only will you not be punished, but you will also be rewarded! You have protected me for many years and warded off countless assassinations for me. Others don't know about this credit, but I do!"

"My lord will give you a promotion today. From now on, you will be a fourth-rank military guard general! In addition... as the Duke of Wei, I will give you a special gift to you as the Marquis of Wei Guoguan! Are you satisfied?"

Cao Cao looked at Xu Chu with a half-smile.

This big bastard can't hide his emotions at all. This is because his official position is low and his face has been crushed by others, so he specially made trouble with Cao Cao.

As a human being, Cao Cao could tell that he would not treat this loyal bodyguard badly.

Moreover, he was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei of Wei State, who belonged to his Wei State, not the court of the Han Dynasty.

Xu Chuke didn't care who he belonged to, as long as he was promoted, he immediately thanked him with great joy: "The last general will thank the lord!"

Everyone was envious!

But no one is jealous, this is what the other party deserves.

Cao Cao waved his hand, waved Xu Chu back and continued, "As for Sima Yi... I'll go there myself when I'm free!"

"By the way, there is one more thing I want to announce today!"

Cao Cao's expression changed, and he looked at the crowd.

The generals pricked up their ears.

Cao Cao went on to say: "After Sun Quan surrendered, he made great contributions to persuading the Jiangdong generals to surrender, and played a role in leading the surrender."

"I specially named him Marquis of Wu today! Do you have any opinions?"

Hearing this, everyone bowed their heads in silence.

That's your adopted son, who dares to have an opinion on what you want to seal?

Anyway, Wei Guo is your own, and even the emperor can't control it.

Xia Houzhe raised his brows: "You are so kind? Seeing how refreshed you are today, is there any happy event?"

"Let me guess... Mrs. Wu has become my new sister-in-law?"

Cao Cao chuckled, with a wretched look on his face.

"Young brother is so good at predicting things! I don't want to be like this, but the other party is really... Sigh!"

Xia Houzhe rolled his eyes: "Then Mrs. Wu is indeed charming, superb!"

"However, Sun Quan is not your own son. Are you afraid that he will cause trouble? Besides, Zixiu is not even a Marquis!"

Xia Houzhe didn't have much affection for Sun Quan, who missed his mother-in-law. How could he have a close relationship with Cao Ang, who was like his own son?

Cao Cao waved his hands disapprovingly, recalling Mrs. Wu's pretty appearance.

He licked his lips subconsciously, with a look of aftertaste on his face.

"Having a concubine like this... so what if the son is not a relative?"

Xia Houzhe was dumbfounded...

Chapter 980

"Made, it doesn't matter if you are not a relative, you are so open-minded!"

Xia Houzhe laughed dumbfounded.

But he didn't despise Cao Cao, because the other party is really such a person.

According to the records, whether Cao Cao treated Qin Lang, Zhang Xiu, He Jin's grandson... He Yan, or Qin Zhen, they were all excellent!

It is really regarded as one's own work, not superficial work.

Cao Cao shook his head and smiled, then turned his head and gave orders to the generals.

"Now Jiangdong has been set. After the celebration banquet, Miaocai, you are in charge of supervising the shipyard's manufacturing. I will transfer Li Ru from Youzhou. When the warship is finished, you will send troops to Dongying immediately!"

"It is bound to wipe out those dwarves. If Xingmatai is willing to surrender, it will stay. Other small countries... don't need to exist."

"As for Yangzhou Mu... Xun You will be in charge. He will be in charge of coordinating the rear and be on guard against Na Shixie and others in Jiaozhou. Although they have bowed their heads and surrendered, it is better to be careful!"

"Besides, Zhang Hong, Lu Fan, and Yu Fan are your assistants to Gongda, and everything depends on him!"

When the order was issued, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Liao, Qu Yi, Gan Ning, Jia Xu and others immediately surrendered their orders.

The Jiangdong generals also bowed their hands respectfully.

The pacification of Dongpu is a big project, and it is not easy, so we must not be careless.

Therefore, Cao Cao can rest assured by sending more competent generals.

"Yes! The last general takes orders! Wherever my cavalry cavalry pass, we will be invincible!"

Seeing their fighting spirit, Cao Cao nodded in satisfaction.

After finishing the matter, Cao Cao relaxed.

Now the whole big man, only the thorny Liu Bei has not surrendered, and when he frees up his hands, he can lead the air force to Xishu.

"Hahaha! You've all worked hard recently, and it just so happens that Cao Xinna's wife made a lot of crispy candies for Cao last night."

"I tasted a piece last night, and the taste is really top-notch! Since you are all here today, then...Cao may simply share it with everyone, and treat everyone as a snack. You are lucky today, hahaha!"

Cao Cao took out several large boxes of crispy candy from the side of the seat with a full face.

These boxes of candy were made by Mrs. Wu herself, using the best ingredients and packed in precious gift boxes.

Mrs. Wu took great pains to enroll Sun Quan. She understands a truth, what kind of baby has Cao Cao's high position and authority not seen?

Instead of giving treasures, it is better to give the halva made by oneself, which shows sincerity.

Sure enough, after Cao Cao tasted a piece, he happily accepted it.

Originally, he planned to keep it and enjoy it slowly, but there was a little surprise last night, and Mrs. Wu herself was taken down by him.

Want to eat in the future is not a matter of words?

Naturally, he would not be stingy with this bit of crispy candy, and just took it out to show off, making the generals envious of Cao Cao having a new concubine with good craftsmanship.

Cao Cao waved his hand, and a young man beside him came up and walked down with several boxes of crispy candies.

On the crunchy candy box, there are three big characters... Yihe Crisp!

There is nothing wrong with the Hetong Box at this time.

The young man suddenly realized that he opened the box of crispy candy and said triumphantly to everyone.

"Everyone! Take it easy and don't over-appetite, just eat one bite per person, too much is not enough!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's complexions became unsightly.

They are all people of status, even if Cao Cao gave them refreshments, they would not take more.

But when you say it, it's obviously not what you mean. It seems that we don't understand the rules?

Everyone could only find someone to ask for a spoon, and each of them dug a little bit to taste.

After tasting it, my eyes lit up. It was really delicious, but I didn't dare to eat more, so I could only look at Sutang and sigh.

He also glanced at Cao Cao from time to time, his face was full of contempt, and it was a crime to have such a stingy new master on the table!

Sensing the strange gazes of the crowd, Cao Cao, who was sharing sweets with Xia Houzhe's confidants, turned completely dark.

As soon as the crisp candy in his hand was released, Cao Cao asked with a sullen face.

"Yang Xiu! Why do you only give everyone a bite? What do you mean?"

This young man is Yang Biao's son, Yang Xiu.

Cao Cao originally had a little feud with Yang Biao, but the other party's fourth generation and third prince's reputation is not small.

Now that Cao Cao is in a high position, he doesn't want to make too much trouble with the other party, which will only increase the number of jokes.

Seeing that Yang Xiu was clever, he took it upon himself to cultivate him.

It can be regarded as easing the relationship between myself and Hongnong Yang's family, but I never thought that... this Yang Xiu was doing it blindly.

Yang Xiu bowed slightly, and Zhizhu smiled while holding her hand.

"My lord, isn't that what you mean?"

"I mean? When did I say one bite per person?"

Cao Cao frowned, looking unhappy.

Yang Xiu didn't care, and pointed at the box with his hand: "My lord, this is exactly what you want!"

"Look, isn't it written on it? One piece of crispy cake, isn't it just one mouthful of crispy cake for one person?"

"Didn't you mean to let everyone try something new? And... you always search... bah, you always save!"

"I think a lot of icing sugar is used to make this crispy candy, which is expensive! How can you make everyone feel full? This is not in line with your usual style!"

"So this subordinate will do as you wish, you see...does what this subordinate say make sense?"

The corners of Yang Xiu's mouth were slightly raised, and he said complacently.

Hearing this, the Jiangdong generals who had just surrendered suddenly realized that there is such a way in this mere Sutang?

The way smart people talk to each other is too profound.

It's just... the lord is too stingy, isn't he?

Is this looking down on them?What about sending off beggars?

Cao Cao's complexion did not improve because of this explanation, but rather gloomy.

Even Xia Houzhe, who was familiar with Cao Cao's mind, sighed and mourned for Yang Xiu.

Looking at the strange eyes of the generals, Cao Cao was furious and snorted coldly:

"Bold! Who told you to figure out my mind? How can you figure out what Duke Wei thinks?"

"Since it's a celebration banquet, I, Cao Cao, took out the crispy candy again. Naturally, I let everyone eat with their stomachs open. Why do you have to take a bite?"

"In your eyes, is I, Cao Cao, such a picky person? You are insulting me!"

Cao Cao's face was like black ink, and he finally pretended to be a big boss, trying to create a good image in Jiang Dongsheng.

This brat actually made his own way and completely ruined the image I created?Is it tolerable or unbearable!

After hearing these words, Yang Xiu's complexion changed, knowing that he was in trouble.

Quickly put the halva away, and knelt down to beg for mercy.

"My lord! I am wrong!"

"Cao had a good intention, but you ruined it abruptly. Since he made a mistake, he should be punished! Come, someone, drag it down and hit [-] big boards!"

With an order, Yang Xiu was dragged away, still yelling inwardly.

You miser, what kind of wolf with a big tail are you pretending to be?

Xia Houzhe shook his head for a while: "When it comes to death, you have to be Yang Xiu. If you are asked to send it down, will you just send it off? You have to be smart!"

After a while, there was a sound of spanking outside.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and fell silent for a moment.

Look at this halva again, they won't eat it, and they won't eat it.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and waved his hand.

"Everyone, don't worry, I've asked my wife to bring someone to do it, enough care!"

"I, Cao Cao, are in charge of the Caowei Group. My wealth is not enough to describe it. How can I be reluctant to give up just a little sugar? In my brother's industrial chain, there is the sugar industry, and I also have shares!"

"So if you hang out with Cao, you will have money and official positions, as long as you work hard!"

As the voice fell, it happened that Mrs. Wu came in with a group of maids carrying a lot of crispy candies.

Seeing Mrs. Wu appearing here, everyone was not surprised. If Cao Cao didn't have this crop, how could he have made Sun Quan a Marquis?

You can think of the reason with your butt.

And for General Jiang Dongjiang, there is nothing wrong with Madam Wu being their former mistress, and she is still the mistress now.
