If one wanted to fight for the world, intelligence gathering was essential.
In the court, those who opposed Cao Cao also needed to be monitored at all times.
Guo Jia's spy division was not enough.
He also needed an intelligence agency that was directly under him.
The Jinyiwei, the strongest secret service organization in history, was a timely help.
A wild laugh rang out in the night.
The next day.
While Cao Shuo was still dreaming, Huang Yueying had already stood up.
She knelt in front of the bronze mirror, combing her black hair in front of the mirror and looking at herself in the mirror.
"He's indeed as strong as a tiger. Sister Yu 'er really didn't lie to me…"
Looking back at Cao Shuo, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, Huang Yueying pursed her lips and snickered, her face slightly dizzy.
At this moment, Cao Shuo had also woken up.
He had already accepted the concubine, and the reward had also arrived. Taking advantage of his free time, unlocking a few more talents was the way to go.
With a thought, the talent page opened.
A dazzling talent flashed before his eyes.
"Detoxification will grant you a body that is immune to all poisons.”
Cao Shuo decisively confirmed.
As the head of the Cao family, a tyrant in the eyes of the aristocratic families, countless people wanted him dead.
The Overlord was skilled in martial arts, so he was naturally not afraid of the open spear.
It was easy to dodge an open spear, but difficult to defend against an arrow in the dark.
If someone bribed the attendant and poisoned the food and wine, even if he had the martial arts of the Overlord, he would die without a doubt.
With his detoxification talent, he would be immune to all poisons. Only then would he be able to rest easy.
"Ding, Detoxification talent unlocked, consumed 2 Tyrant points, remaining 3 Tyrant points!”
An indescribable feeling emanated from his body.
Cao Shuo laughed and sat up.
"Husband has woken up. This concubine will help you wash and change.”
Huang Yueying no longer had the reserved demeanor of the Huang family's daughter. She had already submitted to Cao Shuo.
Cao Shuo was enjoying the service of the number one talented woman in Jing State.
After washing up and changing his clothes, he headed to the main hall.
Cao Ren, Guo Jia, and the other generals had been waiting for a long time.
"Reporting to Sikong, Liu Biao has sent an envoy over, claiming that he wants to make peace with Sikong.”
Cao Ren reported with a smile.
Cao Shuo sneered.
After losing soldiers and generals one after another, losing cities and land, Liu Biao was indeed defeated by him.
He didn't even dare to take revenge for his son, so he could only submit and beg for peace.
"Xinye has been broken. The old thief Liu Biao has been suppressed to the south of the Han River.”
"I think that Yuan Shao and Liu Bei are already restless.”
"Allow Liu Biao to sue for peace and return to the north.”
Two days later, 50,000 bushels of grain and 3,000 cattle and sheep were sent to Xinye as a gift for Liu Biao to sue for peace.
Cao Shuo accepted all of them and rewarded them to the soldiers of the three armies.
Inside and outside Xinye, the Cao Army soldiers cheered.
Three days after the soldiers were in a frenzy, Cao Shuo gave the order and the army returned to the north.
The news of the Jing State's upheaval quickly spread to all parts of the world.
…
Yijing, Yuan's camp.
"Zhang Xiu is known as the Spear King of the Northern Lands, but he was killed by that Cao brat in one move.”
"In just a month, Liu Biao suffered heavy casualties and was attacked by Cao Shuo's army at the Han River. Even his eldest son was killed?”
"Is Cao Aman's son really that amazing?”
The Yuan Family's advisors in the tent discussed in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"Ah Man, your son is starting to impress me…"
Yuan Shao smiled coldly and threw the information on the table.
There was finally a hint of respect in his contemptuous eyes.
"Zhang Xiu is just an ordinary person, and Liu Biao is just a self-defensive person. Cao Shuo being able to defeat those two isn't that great.”
"This subordinate believes that the Cao army is exhausted from the long battle. Lord, you should quickly order Second Young Master to cross the Yellow River from Liyang.”
Guo Tu jumped up and spoke generously.
Xu You, Feng Ji and other strategists, one after another to support.
Yuan Shao's eyes burned with killing intent.
"My lord, we have reached a critical moment in our battle with Gongsun Zan. We cannot be easily distracted.”
"If my lord sends his troops south, Cao Shuo will definitely fight to the death. If we can't take him down for a long time, it will be detrimental to the overall situation.”
"Lord, please be careful."
Ju Shou immediately objected.
"Gongyu's words are reasonable."
Yuan Shao nodded slightly and said with a cold snort,
"This old man's greatest enemy is Gongsun Zan. Cao Shuo is just a child, nothing to worry about.”
"After I destroy Gongsun Zan and unify Hebei, it won't be too late to cross the river and take care of that kid.”
Guo Tu's suggestion was rejected, and he was unhappy. He secretly glared at Ju Shou.
After rolling his eyes a few times, Guo Tu continued,"
"Even if my lord doesn't send troops south, I think we can send an envoy to Xudu and order Cao Shuo to hand over the emperor.”
"That Cao Shuo must be afraid of my lord and can only offer the emperor.”
"When the emperor moves to Ye City, my lord will be able to take back the righteous reputation of holding the emperor hostage from the hands of the Cao family.”
This time, Ju Shou did not object and agreed with him.
"Alright, we'll do as you say."
Yuan Shao slapped the table and shouted,"Guo Tu, listen up! I order you to go to the capital immediately and bring the Emperor back to Ye City from the hands of Cao Shuo!"”
"Yes!"
Guo Tu gladly accepted the order.
The carriage headed south, crossed the Yellow River, and headed straight for Xudu.
…
It was the third day after Cao Shuo returned to the capital.
Sikong Manor.
Guo Tu had an arrogant expression on his face as he stood in front of Cao Shuo with his hands behind his back.
"I am Guo Tu. Greetings, Sikong Cao.”
Guo Tu didn't even raise his hand, only nodding slightly in greeting.
This action was rather arrogant and rude.
Cao Ren and the other important generals frowned and looked angry.
Everyone was clear that Guo Tu was using the tiger's might as a fox.
However, fearing Yuan Shao's strength, the generals were furious, but they could only silently endure it.
Xun Yu and Guo Jia broke out in a cold sweat and secretly looked at Cao Shuo.
The two of them were afraid that Guo Tu's impoliteness would infuriate this violent lord and cause him to do something extreme on the spot.
Offending Guo Tu was fine, but offending Yuan Shao was not worth it.
Cao Shuo only waved his hand and said,"No need to be polite."”
Guo Jia and Xun Yu heaved a sigh of relief. They were secretly glad that Cao Shuo was becoming more and more determined and had the bearing of a lord.
"Guo Tu, why did Yuan Shao send you here?”
Cao Shuo said coldly.
Guo Tu smiled coldly and cupped his hands at a leisurely pace.
"My master, Deacon Yuan, said that Sikong Cao is young and is not qualified to take charge of the government and assist the emperor.”
"That's why my Lord ordered me to come here to ask Sikong to send the emperor to Ye City with my Deacon Yuan's assistance.”
His purpose was clear.
Cao Ren and the other generals were shocked.
How arrogant was Yuan Shao? He was openly belittling Cao Shuo and forcefully demanding the emperor!
" We can't hand over the Son of Heaven to Yuan Shao, nor can we reject him directly. If we offend Yuan Shao, how should we deal with it properly? This is indeed a test of Second Young Master's ability…"
Guo Jia's mind was in turmoil as he looked at Cao Shuo uneasily.
Xun Yu and the other strategists also looked at Cao Shuo.
Everyone watched.
Cao Shuo waved his hand and shouted coldly,""Men, cut off Guo Tu's ears and nose!”
