At this time, Cao Pi led Xia Houyuan behind him to Cao Cao's room.
Looking at Xia Houyuan's face, which looked a little heavy and tired, Cao Cao frowned silently.
"Prime Minister, the Soochow army is now sending troops to attack Shouchun.
Now Gongming is guarding Shouchun.
I broke out and asked the Prime Minister to send troops to rescue Shouchun."
He said to Cao Cao with a hoarse tone.
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan and asked Xia Houyuan with a gloomy expression: "How many soldiers and horses are there in the Soochow army?"
"At least 50,000 troops."
Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Cao's unhappy look and replied to Cao Cao fearfully.
Cao Cao closed his eyes silently, thought for a moment, and finally looked at Cao Pi aside, and said to Cao Pi with a heavy tone: "Go and invite Mr.
Gongda and Zhongde over, saying that there is something important.
Negotiate.”
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Cao Pi nodded quickly and quickly left the room to invite Xun You and Cheng Yu.
Cao Cao watched Cao Pi leave the room, silently looked at Xia Houyuan who looked ashamed, and asked Xia Houyuan in a heavy tone: "How is the Soochow army?
Miaocai tell me."
"The army of Soochow may not be as good as ours, but the people who command the troops of Soochow are all capable of conquering and fighting, especially now."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xia Houyuan replied to Cao Cao with a heavy face, but when it came to the other party When he was in charge of the troops, Xia Houyuan hesitated again.
"Who is the leader of the other side's troops?
Could it be Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin?"
Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan's hesitant speech, touched his beard, and asked Xia Houyuan in a somewhat doubtful tone.
"It's not Zhou Yu, it's Ding Feng."
Xia Houyuan looked at Cao Cao's eyes and said to Cao Cao with a somewhat guilty tone.
"Ding Feng, who is this person?
Why haven't I heard of this person before?"
Cao Cao heard such a name from Xia Houyuan's mouth, and immediately looked at Xia Houyuan with a confused expression, and asked Xia Houyuan in a heavy tone.
"This man is Bai Zifu's apprentice.
He later returned home after completing his studies and is now serving under Sun Quan."
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xia Houyuan suddenly said with a somewhat unhappy expression.
"Bai Zifu's apprentice, this guy has such an identity.
Why did he join Sun Quan?
But Bai Zifu is really amazing.
He has trained such an apprentice."
Cao Cao was not very angry after hearing what Xia Houyuan said, but touched him.
Touching his beard, he said with some emotion.
"By the way, does Bai Zifu have a few apprentices?
Do you know who his apprentices are since you have some contact with Bai Zifu?"
Cao Cao was bouncing at this moment, stroking his beard and looking at Xia Houyuan below, his tone was a little soft.
Asked Xia Houyuan.
"Bai Zifu, I heard that he has three disciples.
The eldest disciple is eighteen years old.
His name is Hao Zhao.
His abilities are said to be as good as those of Ding Feng.
The second disciple is none other than Ding Feng.
The third disciple is called Deng Ai.
Now he is just "Huangkou Ruzi" Xia Houyuan listened to what Cao Cao said, looked at Cao Cao calmly, and introduced to Cao Cao in a low tone.

"If I have time another day, I would like to meet Bai Zifu's disciples.
If they are really good, I wouldn't mind sending the disciples of the Xiahou family and the Cao family to learn from Bai Zifu."
Cao Cao listened to what Xiahou Yuan said. , touched his beard and said with some emotion.
"Prime Minister, you and Bai Zifu" At this time, Xia Houyuan heard what Cao Cao said, looked at Cao Cao with a slightly surprised expression, and said to Cao Cao in disbelief.
"In today's world, I'm afraid I still need to rely on Bai Zifu's power.
Bai Zifu is a sword and cannot be left in the dust.
He has shown his sharp edge.
As long as I can choose a scabbard, I still need to work hand in hand with him."
At this time Cao Cao looked at Xia Houyuan with a somewhat indifferent expression, looking a little surprised, touched his beard, and said to Xia Houyuan in a somewhat indifferent tone.
"Prime Minister, but this scabbard, who is this scabbard?"
At this time, Xia Houyuan looked a little surprised after hearing what Cao Cao said.
Then, looking at Cao Cao's indifferent expression, he cautiously asked Cao Cao tentatively.
After hearing what Xia Houyuan said, Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Xia Houyuan's good face.
He touched his beard and said to Xia Houyuan in a meaningful tone: "It used to be Zixiu, but unfortunately God did not follow my wishes.
Although Zixiu is gone now, my son is already six years old.
If I persist for more than ten years, maybe he will If he can become the scabbard, no matter how powerful the Cao family and Xiahou family are, no matter how powerful his Bai Zifu is, he can't change the world."
"Prime Minister is wise."
At this time, Xia Houyuan listened to what Cao Cao said, looked at Cao Cao with some admiration, and flattered Cao Cao in a low voice.
Not long after Xia Houyuan finished speaking, Cao Pi brought Xun You and Cheng Yu to Cao Cao's room.
"Your Majesty Xun You, your Majesty Cheng Yu has met the Prime Minister" Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at the calm expressions of Cao Cao and Xia Houyuan, and bowed respectfully to Cao Cao, who was sitting on the throne.
"Zihuan, why don't you get some seats for the two gentlemen to sit on?"
At this time, Cao Cao looked at the two counselors in front of him.
These two counselors had been following him for almost ten years.
They fought in all directions, pacified Yuan Shao, and conquered Jingzhou in the south, witnessing the development of their careers.
Now the two of them looked much older, and their expressions suddenly became a little emotional, and they hurriedly said to Cao Pi who was standing aside.
Cao Bi looked at his father's expression with emotion, and quickly and respectfully prepared seats for Xun You and Cheng Yu.
Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at each other, then thanked Cao Cao and slowly sat down in the seat that Cao Pi had moved over.
"Now the Soochow army is directly attacking our army Shouchun in the east.
The Prime Minister still needs to sit in Xuchang and suppress those people with ulterior motives.
Both gentlemen are resourceful people.
Can you tell me what I should do now?
It’s better to do it” After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xun You and Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with a somewhat heavy expression.
Nowadays, the effect of obeying the emperor's orders and disobeying the ministers is getting worse and worse.
There are only a few princes left today.
How can they be placed under the emperor's orders?
But no, if it were the past, they could be ordered to retreat directly with the emperor's order, so that the enemy would be more afraid.
But now, as there are fewer and fewer princes, this emperor's order has become dispensable, and there are not many restrictions on other princes.
On the contrary, as Cao Cao's power continued to expand, his power became more and more powerful, and his power became more and more important.
This emperor also changed from Cao Cao's major advantage to a hidden danger and disadvantage.
"Now Sun Quan is sending troops to attack Shouchun.
It seems that Sun Quan is now aiming at Huainan, and Jingzhou may be Liu Bei's eye.
Sun Quan may keep his eyes on Huainan for a long time, so he needs to send a general to Huainan to deter Sun Quan. ."
At this time, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with a heavy expression and said to Cao Cao in a serious tone.
"Who do you think can take on this important task?"
At this time, Cao Cao listened to Cheng Yu's words and nodded calmly.

Because what Cheng Yu said was similar to what Cao Cao thought, Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu calmly and asked.
After listening to Cao Cao's words, Cheng Yu saw Cao Cao staring at him, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Cao Cao in a calm tone: "Apart from Bai Zifu, I'm afraid there is no one more suitable to take charge of Huainan."
Cao Cao heard Cheng Yu's answer, which was completely unexpected by Cao Cao.
So Cao Cao touched his beard and asked Cheng Yu calmly: "Bai Zifu, Zhongde, why is this?"
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's calm expression and guessed that Cao Cao thought so, so he replied to Cao Cao in a calm tone: "First, Bai Zifu is a famous general in the world, and he can lead the army with certainty.
Secondly, Bai Zifu Fu fought in Huainan in his early years and fought against Sun Ce and Zhou Yu, defeating both of them.
People in Jiangdong must be wary of Bai Zifu.
Thirdly, Bai Zifu's concubine is from the Bu family in Huainan.
If Bai Zifu goes to war with Soochow, he will definitely get the support of the Huainan family.
The land is close to Xuchang, the north is flat and endless, and there is no danger to defend."
After hearing Cheng Yu's words, Cao Cao showed a proud smile.
The first three conditions had been anticipated by Cao Cao.
The last one was what Cao Cao was most concerned about.
If Bai Zifu had second thoughts, Cao Cao could directly send troops to attack Huainan.
When the time comes, Bai Zifu will be considered the reincarnation of the Soldier Immortal, and Sun Wu will be reborn, and there will be nothing they can do about it
