"Yuan Shu, this thief, is really audacious. He actually dares to proclaim himself emperor!”
Zhao Yun shouted, but she did not believe it.
The attendant replied," It's absolutely true. It's said that Yuan Shu not only proclaimed himself emperor, but he also wanted his son Yuan Yao to marry Lu Bu's daughter. He pulled Lu Bu along. The news has already spread like wildfire."”
Zhao Yun had no choice but to believe him. She looked at Mi Huan in surprise."Miss Mo, we've underestimated Young Master Su. I didn't expect him to be right.”
"Looks like this Young Master Su is really a great talent who lurks in the wild.”
Mi Huan clicked her tongue in wonder and sighed." My lord is lacking a resourceful person. It would be great if we could invite this young master to be my lord's advisor in Xiao Pei."”
"Miss Mo is right."
"Then, after we finish this business, when we pass by the Su residence on our way back to Xiao Pei, why don't we invite him back?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up.”
"General Zilong is right."
Mi Huan nodded slightly.
Immediately, the two of them were shocked and continued to advance towards Xu Du.
"I really didn't expect such a handsome young talent to be hidden in this countryside."
Mi Huan looked back at the Su Residence and muttered to herself.
In the Su family manor.
Su Yi had already eaten and drunk his fill. He was listening to music and admiring the flowers in the courtyard.
"Husband, do you really think that Yuan Shu has the guts to claim the throne?" Cao Jie asked.”
"Yuan Shu, that silkpants, his heart is higher than the sky, and he thinks highly of himself. He has done so many ridiculous things over the years, and there is nothing he doesn't dare to do.”
Su Yi fed the fish and said disapprovingly.
Cao Jie was deep in thought. He had to hurry back and tell Cao Cao about such an important matter.
She used the excuse of returning to Xudu to purchase goods and hurriedly left the residence with her maidservants to rush to Xudu.
Xudu, Sikong Manor.
At this moment, angry curses echoed in the hall.
"Yuan Shu, this traitor, actually dared to arrogate to himself the title of emperor. He's really audacious and infuriating!”
"Sikong has just received the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Shu dares to declare himself emperor. If we don't immediately send troops to attack, the prestige of the Imperial Court will be completely gone.”
"Sikong, please immediately mobilize your entire army to attack Shouchun and kill the traitor Yuan Shu!”
The generals were furious and requested to fight.
Even Xun Yu, who had the talent to play, frowned and didn't object.
Yuan Shu was powerful. Once he sent troops to attack, a huge battle would be inevitable.
However, Lu Bu had not been pacified in the east, and Yuan Shao was about to go south in the north. It would be unwise to engage in a war with Yuan Shu at this time.
However, Cao Cao respected the Son of Heaven, and Yuan Shu's title as Emperor was equivalent to slapping his face. If he did not crusade against him, how could he convince the world?
At that time, everyone proclaimed themselves emperor, and the prestige of the Han court collapsed. Even if he held the emperor in his hands, what was the use?
"It's a dilemma."
Cao Cao sighed and waved his hand,"You can leave first. Let me think about it."”
The advisors and generals took their leave.
Cao Cao held his forehead and frowned.
Just when he was worried, Cao Jie entered the hall to greet him.
"Jie 'er is back. Come, come, come, sit down.”
When Cao Cao saw his daughter, he was in a much better mood. He smiled and invited his daughter to sit down.
He smiled and asked,"Jie 'er, how did Su Yi treat you? He didn't bully you, right?"”
"How could that be?"
Cao Jie shook his head and blushed." Husband treats your daughter very well. Don't worry, Father."”
"That's good."
Cao Cao was relieved and asked again,"Then you didn't reveal anything and let him see your identity."”
"Don't worry, Father. I will remember your instructions. I won't let him recognize my true identity," Cao Jie said with a smile.”
Only then did Cao Cao relax, stroking his beard and smiling.
Suddenly.
"Jie 'er, you've only just married, why are you returning to your mother's home so soon? It's not appropriate."”
"I came back because I have something important to tell you.”
Cao Jie stopped smiling and his tone became serious.
"What's the matter?"
Cao Cao picked up the tea and slowly brought it to his mouth.
"It's like this. Today, a few guests passed by my house. When husband was explaining to them, he accidentally mentioned that Yuan Shu of Huainan was going to arrogate to the throne.”
"Your daughter didn't dare to believe it at first, but Father said that Husband has always predicted things like a god. Your daughter thought that this matter was of great importance, so she used the excuse of returning to Xu City to report this matter to Father.”
Cao Jie said.
Cao Cao's body shook and his hands shook, causing the tea in his cup to spill out.
"Did my son-in-law really say that?”
Cao Cao hurriedly put down his teacup, his face filled with shock.
"Of course, how could a daughter dare to make up a story?”
Seeing Cao Cao's expression, Cao Jie couldn't help but exclaim,"Could it be that my husband's words are really serious and Yuan Shu is really the emperor?”
Cao Cao nodded slightly and sighed,"The world's affairs and the world's people cannot escape his calculations."”
"He actually guessed such a ridiculous thing?”
Cao Jie muttered to himself. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Cao Cao smiled and asked," Jie 'er, you said that you wanted to see with your own eyes what kind of extraordinary person he is. Now, you've finally seen it with your own eyes. How is it? Are you satisfied with the good son-in-law that father has chosen for you?”
Cao Jie's surprise turned into embarrassment when he was asked this question. He could not help but lower his head with a smile.
After calming down, Cao Jie said indignantly,""Father, that dog Yuan Shu actually dared to declare himself emperor and openly look down on father. How does father plan to deal with him?”
"All the generals advocated sending troops to attack immediately. Wen Ruozhi and the others also did not have a foolproof plan. Yuan Shu, this traitor, has given father a difficult problem at this juncture!”
Cao Cao sighed.
Cao Jie's eyes lit up." If that's the case, why don't you ask your husband for advice?" he reminded.”
"Jie 'er, you're right. You should return first. I'll go later and see what good ideas my son-in-law has."”
Cao Jie took his leave and returned to the Su Residence.
Later.
Cao Cao called the talented actor Dian Wei to accompany him. He changed into his usual clothes and headed to the Su Village.
In the afternoon, Cao Cao came to visit.
"What brings father-in-law here? Come in and sit.”
When his father-in-law came to visit, Su Yi naturally welcomed him personally.
Su Yi's "father-in-law" made her feel comfortable. She laughed and happily entered the residence.
The guests sat down and the tea was served.
Su Yi smiled and said,"My son-in-law was supposed to stay for a few days and bring madam back to her parents 'house to visit father-in-law. I didn't expect father-in-law to come first."”
"I often do business outside. I was afraid that you might not be able to see me if you went.”
Cao Cao made up an excuse.
Su Yi did not think too much about it and poured a cup of tea for Cao Cao.
"Virtuous son-in-law, I heard in Xudu that something big has happened in Huainan. That bastard Yuan Shu has actually proclaimed himself emperor.”
Cao Cao probed.
Su Yi replied with an "oh". There was not a trace of fluctuation on his face. Clearly, he had expected this.
Cao Cao looked at Cao Jie, and the father and daughter looked at each other.
"Now that Yuan Shao is about to go south, Lu Bu is occupying Xuzhou in the east, and the vassals in Guanzhong in the west have yet to submit, and now Yuan Shu has jumped out to declare himself emperor, this is enough to give Cao Gong a headache.”
Cao Cao pretended to sigh.
"What's there to worry about? It's easy to deal with Yuan Shu.”
Su Yi took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile.
Cao Cao's eyes lit up and he said calmly,""What good ideas do you have?”
