Yilang Wu Shuo led the Jinyue Guards and quickly arrived at Xu Duwei's residence.
Xu Duwei's residence was originally the prison of Xu County.
Since the emperor moved, the houses in the city suddenly became tense.
Officials of Xu Duling's level had no choice but to make do with simple things and build a brick and wood house in front of the prison.
People who work here can often hear the cries and howls of the prisoners next door.
Whether it was an illusion or not, as soon as Wu Shuo stepped into the room, he felt chilled all over his body, as if there were countless pairs of eyes peering at him in the darkness around him.
He calmed down, took a deep breath, and suddenly a voice sounded in his ear: "Wu Yilang, you are well."
Then Wu Shuo saw Xi Zhicai's ominous face, but Wu Shuo didn't want to deal with Xi Zhicai: he knew this guy's skills well, so he stopped talking politely, held up the edict in his hand and said: "I serve heaven."
I have been ordered by my son to come and rectify Xu Duwei, but I don’t know where Lord Cao is.”
Xi Zhicai was only a meritorious servant of Cao Jing'an.
Although Cao Cao held him in high esteem, his official position was not high.
More importantly, this Xu Duwei is not under his command at all.
What is he doing here?
"Wu Yilang has worked hard, and this is the humble duty."
A clear voice came, and Wu Shuo finally saw Cao Tai.
In fact, this was also the first time he saw Cao Ren's eldest son.
However, at the first meeting, Wu Shuo had a very uneasy feeling about this Cao Tai: It wasn't that Cao Tai was too ugly, but that he didn't seem to be Xu Duling at all.
The Cao Tai in front of you is a beautiful boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
He has a handsome face that completely reverses yin and yang.
Its existence seems to be a mockery of creation.
When you see this face, you will not realize it.
Sigh, how could this be a man?
But the more this happened, the more uneasy Wu Shuo became.
Looking at Cao Tai's smiling face and pristine silk clothes, Wu Shuo could imagine how this young man used his enthusiasm to torture those enemies.
This is a man with a warm face and a cold heart, and he is not yet in his prime.
After regaining his composure, Wu Shuo swallowed involuntarily and said, "I have been ordered to come to rectify Xu Du's guards.
I hope Master Cao can cooperate."
Cao Tai bowed his head and said respectfully: "You must obey the imperial order."
He slowly raised his eyes, and the two of them met each other's eyes, understanding each other tacitly.
At this time, Xi Zhicai stood up and said with a smile: "Since Wu Yilang has something to do, and I have already settled my affairs with General Cao, I won't bother you."
After that, he walked straight away, seemingly leaving Wu Shuo with that harmless smile.
However, Wu Shuo, who came with enthusiasm, couldn't help but smile with disgust after seeing these two ominous smiles.
However, facing Cao Tai's enthusiasm, he had to put on a fake smile, but in his heart, he began to make plans.
Xu Du's court was in a delicately awkward position: no one would take the emperor's orders seriously, but no one would openly refuse to carry them out.
How to respond to the imperial edict depends entirely on the political choices and struggles of various forces.
For example, when the emperor appointed Yuan Shao as Taiwei, Yuan Shao would flatly refuse and denounced Cao Cao as ungrateful.
It was not until the court changed its tune and named him a general that he turned his anger into joy and happily "kowtowed to thank Heaven."
Now that the imperial power department takes the initiative to invite Xu Duwei to become the main guard, it is actually a step back from the Cao family.
Since Shangshutai acquiesced to this approach, Cao Tai naturally did not need to disobey orders, but it did not mean that he would obey orders.
After all, although his official position was promoted, Xu Duwei was transferred to Suwei, and his strength was weakened.
Cao Tai is promoted openly and secretly.
It is hard to say whether he will agree or not.
And if he wants to refuse, he has to be careful about his propriety.
Therefore, Wu Shuo did not speak again, but just looked behind Cao Tai.
The row of Xu Duwei officials behind him seemed to have been notified long ago and were here to welcome the emperor's envoys.

But whether intentionally or unintentionally, these officials were all old, frail, and gloomy, but none of the agents who were feared in the dark appeared.
I don’t know if this is a sign of weakness or a demonstration.
Or maybe Cao Tai was telling him vaguely that Xu Duwei no longer had any capable people available.
Sure enough, after Wu Shuo was silent for a while, Cao Tai took out a roster from his arms and handed it to him.
"Since Xu Duwei eliminated the assassination mission, there are only 2,000 city guards and 86 people in the prison.
I don't know how Wu Yilang plans to get started."
It seemed that the other party was well prepared.
Wu Shuo secretly sighed: It can be said that the task of assassination has never been in Xu Duling's hands.
In the past, the Panshe Battalion was in charge and was affiliated with Xu Duling.
Later, when Jing'an Cao was established, the function of assassination and rape was completely separated.
At the same time, after Xu Duling lost this important function, naturally there were not many people left.
Wu Shuo understood what Cao Tai meant.
It seemed that Cao Tai did not want to accept the edict easily.
However, this was what Yang Biao had expected, so Wu Shuo did not take the booklet and pushed it with a smile: "Since Mr.
Cao made the order, he has achieved remarkable results.
The athletes under his command are like arms and fingers, and they have their own rules.
How can I do it?"
It’s not your fault.”
The two men fought quietly for a round, testing each other's bottom line and courage.
Wu Shuo's refusal to accept the roster was a vague statement that he had no intention of using imperial power to suppress Cao Tai.
This is a good point.
After Cao Tai smiled again, his face became really enthusiastic: "But the emperor's order is hard to disobey.
If Mr.
Wu doesn't deploy some personnel, how will he fulfill the emperor's order?"
After hearing this, Wu Shuo ordered the twenty Jinyue guards to leave the room and wait at the door.
When Cao Tai saw this, he also waved away the officials behind him.
At this time, Wu Shuo really laughed and said: "Actually, Xu Duwei has you, Mr.
Cao, so there is no need to rectify it.
On the contrary, Su Wei's group of unqualified wastes are really clumsy."
He grabbed Cao Tai's clothes.
Xiu, deliberately lowering his voice: "Xun Lingjun's intention is to rectify Xu Duwei just for a show.
In fact, he wants to use Mr.
Cao's methods to temper Xu Duwei."
Although this reorganization was proposed by Dong Cheng and promoted by the three ministers, it would not have been realized without Shangshu Xun's acquiescence.
Wu Shuo specifically brought up Xun Yu, hoping to be more convincing.
But Wu Shuo didn't expect that Cao Tai actually said: "Master Wu, let me tell you clearly.
The struggle of the descendants of the Cao family is very fierce.
I originally wanted to go to the battlefield and make contributions, but I am trapped here, even though I have worked hard. , but the credit is not obvious, and now, you want to remove so many of my people at once, let me know what to do."
"Hey, Mr.
Cao, how come you don't understand so much?"
To Cao Tai's surprise, Wu Shuo burst out laughing when he heard this, and said, "How can Mr.
Cao not understand the overall situation?
Xu Duwei is currently guarding Xu Du."
Strength, now that the emperor’s order is given, you naturally have no choice but to obey it .
But the emperor's order also said that if you explain the situation to General Niu Jin, then General Cao Ren will not bring more troops into Xudu.

In this case, you only need to ask your father to give General Niu one.
Hint, how could General Niu's men disobey Mr.
Cao's orders?"
"I'm afraid there's something wrong with this."
"Naturally, if the name is not correct, the words will not be correct.
But it is also true that Xu Duling has great responsibilities and lacks manpower.
Why not obey the emperor's order today, and then after His Majesty's condition improves, write to Your Majesty to send General Niu Jin's guard Enrich Xudu Ling" Cao Tai looked at Wu Shuo, his face still showing distrust.
From this, Wu Shuo went further and said: "That's all, it's my fault that your Majesty brought too many troops with him during the previous expedition.
At this time, I wrote a memorial and asked Your Majesty to agree to General Cao Ren's transfer of two thousand troops and horses back to Xudu.
Five hundred men are enough.
How about staying in the guard and having 1,500 people make up for the deficit of Xu Duwei?"
"That's exactly what I said.
I'd like to trouble Mr.
Wu to write."
After saying that, Cao Tai took out the paper and ink he had prepared long ago and looked at Wu Shuo with a bright smile.
Wu Shuo also shook his head helplessly, writing like a god, and quickly wrote a letter for Cao Tai to read.
Things became much easier after that.
Wu Shuo picked up Xu Duwei's roster, selected a thousand people, and left with satisfaction.
But no one knew that when he left, there was an unstoppable smile on his face.
After Wu Shuo left, Cao Tai also had an unexplainable smile on his face.
Until a voice sounded behind him: "Master Cao, your acting skills are getting better and better."
"If it weren't for the guidance of Master Xi, how would the fish be willing to bite the hook?"
Cao Tai turned around and saw Xi Zhi with a calm face before he left and returned.
Or to be more precise, he never left at all. s: Thanks to Han Gugu, Jinshi, and Huoyi for the rewards.
I learned the news today that Comrade Xia Mo is actually getting married tomorrow.
I wish Comrade Xia Mo a happy wedding in advance, a long life together, and the joy of fish and water.
From now on, the king will not go to court early
