But in Xuchang in the north, Cao Cao sat in the prime minister's mansion all day long, handling government affairs, with a lot of white hair sticking out of his head.
"Prime Minister, there is news from Huainan in the south."
At this moment, Cheng Yu cautiously came to Cao Cao, bent down, and carefully handed a letter to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao placed the brush in his hand on the pen and inkstone stand beside him, and took the letter from Cheng Yu with a calm expression.
"I don't know what this guy Bai Zifu did in Huainan."
Cao Cao silently opened the letter in his hand and then looked at Cheng Yu and said.
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Cheng Yu just stood aside with a serious face and touched his long beard on his chest.
At this time, Cao Cao looked at the letter in his hand calmly, and his expression became extremely strange.
From a happy expression at first, to a slightly sad expression later, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"This Bai Zifu still has some tricks.
It's just a pity that Lujiang City was lost so early."
Cao Cao sighed silently after reading the letter in his hand.
He had almost finished understanding everything about Huainan.
Now, looking at Cheng Yu on the side, he said with some emotion.
"Prime Minister, do you need to do anything?"
Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao's expression of emotion, carefully stretched out his head, and asked Cao Cao in a confused tone.
Cao Cao thought for a while, and finally touched his beard, looked at the seal on his case calmly, and finally said to Cheng Yu in a heavy tone: "This Bai Zifu, this lost Lujiang City and him are not the same."
It didn’t matter much, but he defeated Sun Quan’s army, which can be considered a meritorious service.”
Cheng Yu stood silently and raised his head.
Listening to what Cao Cao said while sitting on the main seat, he suddenly looked at Cao Cao in surprise.
"Zhongde, if you are like this, go and report to His Majesty that you are asking for a title for Bai Zifu.
When the time comes, you go to Shouchun in person, hand over the imperial edict of the reward to Bai Zifu, and instruct him to give Lujiang City to me as soon as possible.
Take it back."
Cao Cao pressed his hand on his thigh at this time, looking at Cheng Yu with a calm expression, listening to Cheng Yu, and discussed with Cheng Yu in a low tone.
"Prime Minister, this" Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao with some surprise after hearing what Cao Cao said, and asked Cao Cao with some doubts.
He really didn't understand why Cao Cao rewarded Bai Ren with such a high reward.
"I gave this guy such a high reward and let the world look at him.
Doesn't this guy need to tuck his tail between his legs and be a good man?"
Cao Cao looked at Cheng Yu aside with a calm expression and said with a hint of sneer in his tone.
"I know, I will do it now."
Cheng Yu seemed to understand what Cao Cao said after hearing what Cao Cao said, so he respectfully said to Cao Cao and slowly left the Prime Minister's residence and headed for the palace.
"It's not necessarily a good thing to be sharp."
Cao Cao said to Xu Chu standing aside with a heavy expression.
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xu Chu just smiled and rubbed the back of his head with his hand, looking simple and honest.
"Prime Minister, Jia Kui, the prefect of Yecheng, specially sent someone to present the treasure."
At this moment, there was a sound from outside, like a soldier saying to Cao Cao at the door.
When Cao Cao heard the news, he suddenly looked slightly surprised.
Finally, after thinking for a moment, he said to the soldiers outside with a heavy tone: "Let him come in."
Not long after, a soldier came to Cao Cao's mansion with a box behind him and a heavy look on his face.
Looking at Cao Cao who was sitting on his seat with a serious look on his face, the soldier said to Cao Cao with some fear: "I have been ordered by the prefect to offer my treasures."
"Oh, open it and see what it is."
Cao Cao looked at the box in the soldier's hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then said in a calm tone.
The soldier listened to Cao Cao's instructions and opened the box carefully.
A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in the box.
Cao Cao saw the golden light shining brightly and quickly covered his eyes with his sleeves.

After a while, the light slowly disappeared, and a copper bird was seen in the box.
The copper was lifelike and emitted a strange light.
"What is this?"
Cao Cao put down his sleeves and looked at the lifelike bronze bird in the box.
He suddenly looked down with a heavy expression on the soldier holding the box in his hand and asked.
When the soldiers heard what Cao Cao said, they quickly and respectfully said to Cao Cao: "Two nights ago, we were on the east corner tower of Ye City.
Suddenly a golden light flashed, illuminating the entire Ye City.
The prefect went to investigate specifically.
Later, the bronze bird was dug up in the ground.
The prefect felt that it was of great significance, so he ordered the young man to deliver it to him overnight. " "You can put the bronze bird here and leave."
Cao Cao seemed to be deeply attracted by this treasure at this time.
His eyes were fixed on the bronze bird in the box, and his tone was calm as he pulled the box. said the soldier.
After hearing what Cao Cao said, the soldier breathed a sigh of relief, quickly placed the box on the table in front of Cao Cao, and carefully left the room.
"Zhongkang" At this time, Cao Cao looked at the bronze bird in the box, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips, and then he said to Xu Chu in a calm tone.
Xu Chu looked at Cao Cao's excited expression and said to Cao Cao in a calm tone: "Prime Minister, what's the matter?"
"Go and call Yuan Rang, Miaocai, Gongda, Zihuan, Ziwen, Zijian, and Zihe."
Cao Cao said to Xu Chu with a somewhat excited expression at this time.
After hearing what Cao Cao said, Xu Chu quickly walked out of the mansion.
Soon Cao Cao's mansion was filled with people.
I saw Cao Cao sitting in the middle of the mansion, and the box in front of him contained the bronze bird with a glint of light.
On the side stood Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Xun You, Cao Chun, Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang and others.
When these people heard the news, they silently looked at the bronze bird in Cao Cao's box, with a look of amazement on their faces.
"Suddenly this thing fell from the sky in Yecheng.
What does this mean?"
At this time, Cao Cao looked at the bronze bird in the box in front of him, then looked at the confidants beside him, and asked in a somewhat doubtful tone. .
Xun You on the side looked at the bronze bird in the box and hesitated for a moment, then said to Cao Cao with some emotion: "Prime Minister, Shun's mother became pregnant with Shun a long time ago because she dreamed of the jade bird.
Now she has the bronze bird."
Bird, this is an auspicious sign.”
"Really?
In this case, I want to celebrate on a high platform in Yecheng.
I want to build three platforms.
The one in the middle will be the highest, and then named after the Bronze Bird.
The one on the left is called Jade Dragon, and the one on the right is called Golden Phoenix.
Put a flying bridge in the middle and stand side by side.
That would be spectacular.
When I retire on this platform, it would be such a wonderful thing."
After hearing what Xun You said in front of him, Cao Cao said with a proud expression.
Xun You didn't say anything after hearing what Cao Cao said.
Since ancient times, those who have achieved great achievements will not build anything.
"Zihuan, Zijian, Ziwen" At this time, Cao Cao looked at his three sons aside and said a little seriously.
"Father" When the three of them saw Cao Cao calling them, they quickly replied respectfully to Cao Cao.
"I order the three of you to go to Yecheng to build this platform.
Zihuan is responsible for building the Jade Dragon, Fingerprint is responsible for building the Golden Phoenix, and Zijian is responsible for building the Bronze Bird.
It must be completed within the next year."
At this time, Cao Cao looked at him.

He looked at his three sons calmly.
He said with a somewhat heavy tone.
"Yes."
After the three of them heard what Cao Cao said, they immediately replied respectfully.
The three of them were all understanding people, and they all knew that Cao Cao wanted to build this earthwork to test the three of them.
"It's all okay, you all should leave."
Seeing that everything was almost done, Cao Cao said in a heavy tone.
After hearing Cao Cao's words, the surrounding civil and military personnel dispersed one after another, leaving only Cao Cao looking at the bronze bird in the box with a somewhat joyful expression.
In Bairen's White Mansion in Xuchang, Zhen Mi was lying on the bed with a rosy complexion, looking a little weak.
Today Zhen Mi was walking in the garden and suddenly fainted for some reason, so Da Qiao specially called the doctor.
An old doctor in the room felt his pulse with his hands, looked at Zhen Mi with a heavy expression, and asked with a somewhat puzzled tone: "Madam, have you felt anything strange recently?"
