I was kicked out by Sun Quan, and I turned to Cao thief

Chapter 186
Cao Cao looked at Su Ming with piercing eyes, and asked, "I am going to let you recognize your ancestors as your ancestors. Would you like to change your surname to Cao?"

After Cao Cao asked this question, the surrounding fell into silence.

The civil servants and military generals present all knew that as long as Su Ming agreed gently, saying that he was willing to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, and change his surname to Cao.

So, starting today, he is Cao Cao's designated successor.

After a hundred years of Cao Cao, Cao Cao's territory, soldiers and horses, money and food, everything will be inherited by him.

"forget it!"

"I think the last name is Su Shutan." Su Ming said without hesitation.

Guo Jia: "?????"

Cao Cao: "?????"

Wen Wu present: "??????"

Cao Pi: "??????"

At this moment, especially Cao Pi, he was ecstatic in his heart.

Cao Pi thought, Su Ming!Su Ming, I'll give you a chance, but it's useless!

How dare you reject your father in front of many civil and military officials, you will not die!Let me see, are you dead or not!
Not only the many civil and military personnel present, but even Cao Cao himself seemed a little astonished.

Obviously, no one thought that Su Ming would reject Cao Cao.

Su Ming's rejection of Cao Cao is tantamount to rejection of this great foundation!
Su Ming had his own reasons for rejecting Cao Cao.

The inherited world is, after all, a world that has not been conquered by oneself, so it is safe to hold.

Throughout history.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan originally wanted his eldest son Li Jiancheng to inherit the throne. As a result, his second son Li Shimin rebelled and took the world.

Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang wanted his grandson Zhu Yunqi to inherit the world, but his fourth son Zhu Di took over the world.

It can be seen from this that the inherited world may not be your own, but the conquered world must be your own.

At this moment, although Cao Cao is not the emperor, although he does not have the name of the emperor, he already has the reality of the emperor.

Moreover, some of the civil servants and generals under Cao Cao supported Cao Pi, some supported Cao Zhi, and some were neutral.

Su Ming, an illegitimate child, can be said to have no foundation at all.

Moreover, once Cao Cao agreed to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan, then Cao Cao would definitely bring Su Ming by his side and train him as his heir.

This is not a good thing for Su Ming.

Being by Cao Cao's side is not conducive to Su Ming's development of his own power.

Su Ming's foundation is now Jiangxia County, and in the future, it will be the entire six Jiangdong counties and the nine Jingxiang counties.

As long as Su Ming can win the entire south, then, even after a hundred years of Cao Cao, Su Ming will still have the strength to compete with Cao Pi for the world.

Staying by Cao Cao's side is purely locking himself in a cage and curbing his development.

It was precisely because of this that Su Ming rejected Cao Cao directly, almost without thinking about it.

Cao Pi gloated and looked at Su Ming, thinking, wait for your father to scold you.

After hearing Su Ming's refusal, Cao Cao couldn't help being taken aback.

After a full pause for several breaths, Cao Cao asked, "Why did you refuse?"

Su Ming didn't hide it, but replied very bluntly: "The goshawk belongs to the sky, not to the cage."

"Whether it's Xudu or Chaotang, it's a prison for me."

Su Ming's words, on the surface, were talking about freedom, but in fact, what was revealed was ambition.

Cao Cao is suspicious, so, in front of Cao Cao, don't be clever and lie, or cover up.

The more clever you are to lie, or cover up, the more he will suspect you of evil intentions.

On the contrary, if you have something to say, he will not doubt you.

"Hahaha!"

"Okay, what a goshawk belongs to the sky, not to the cage!" Cao Cao laughed and said yes repeatedly.

After saying a few good words, Cao Cao looked at Su Ming and said slowly, "My son's ambition is higher than the sky, and his plans are huge."

"I know that you have been plotting against the nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong."

"This time, you have made great achievements, and I should have rewarded you heavily. However, I will not give you this reward now. After you take down the nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong, I will reward you this time." you."

When Cao Pi heard his father Cao Cao praise Su Ming, he almost died of anger.

Cao Pi thought to himself that if he rejected his father, he might be scolded lightly, and he might be punished.

This Su Ming rejected his father, yet his father actually praised him.

Cao Pi thought, father, so, love will disappear, right?
If Cao Cao knew what Cao Pi was thinking, he would tell Cao Pi that love will not disappear, it will only transfer.

It can only be transferred from one person to another.

After Cao Ang Wancheng died, Cao Cao's father's love was transferred to Cao Pi.

Now, Su Ming performed even better, so Cao Cao's fatherly love was transferred to Su Ming again.

All of this is very reasonable.

Guo Jia looked at Cao Cao and asked, "My lord, what kind of reward do you plan to give you?"

"Why don't you just say it and let everyone listen!"

Su Ming made a great contribution this time. Although Cao Cao has already stated clearly, the reward for this time will be sent for the time being, and will be given after Su Ming wins the nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong.

Then, in the end, the reward must be revealed and let everyone know.

Otherwise, Su Ming has made such a great contribution, and everyone doesn't even know what the reward is, which is a bit hard to convince the public.

Cao Cao stroked his beard and said to Guo Jia, "Fengxiao, what do you think of Xuzhou as a reward?"

"If my son wins the nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong, the land in the south of the Yangtze River will be controlled by my son."

"Besides, I also entrusted Xuzhou to my son's control."

In other words, after Su Ming conquered the nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong, these places will be managed by Su Ming himself.

In addition, Cao Cao is still picking up a Xuzhou.

The nine counties of Jingxiang and the six counties of Jiangdong, this land in the south of the Yangtze River can be called the land of fish and rice.

These two places have large food production and enough soldiers, so they are very suitable as base camps.

However, these two places also have a common problem, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is true that they are suitable as base camps.

At the same time, it is very difficult for you to develop outside.

Be it Jingxiang or Jiangdong, they are all places of success.

However, Xuzhou is different!

Xuzhou has been the place of the Four World Wars since ancient times. With Xuzhou, it is equivalent to having a springboard to expand outward.

To Xuzhou, this is Cao Cao paving the way for Su Ming!

At this time, Cao Cao looked at Su Ming and said, "Since you don't want to change your surname to Cao, then I will give you a name for my father, so I will accept it."

For normal people, during the coming-of-age ceremony, the elders would bestow words.

Su Ming is an illegitimate child, so there has been no words.

Now, Cao Cao wanted to give Su Ming a letter, and Su Ming naturally couldn't refuse.

Su Ming cupped his hands and said in response, "Thank you, my son."

Seeing that Su Ming no longer refused, Cao Cao looked at Su Ming and said solemnly, "Let's call him Chongguang!"
