Chapter 46

Cao Song's face was gloomy, holding a letter from Cao Cao in his hand, he didn't know what to think.

Soon, several outstanding disciples of the Cao family and the Xiahou family came to Cao Song's study after receiving the news.

The leader named Cao Bin was one of the five people who came in and out when Liu Bian subdued Cao Cao.The implanted identity is Cao Song's second son, Cao Cao's younger brother.

After Cao Bin, they were Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, and Xia Houdun.

The Xiahou family has a close relationship with the Cao family. Cao Song was originally a child of the Xiahou family, but the Xiahou family gradually became lonely, and Cao Song was adopted by the eunuch Cao Teng as his adopted son.

Although Cao Teng was an eunuch, he was quite decent, unlike Zhang Rang and others. Therefore, Cao Song was still respected by the family from officials to Taiwei.

As a result, the Xiahou Clan rose to prominence, and now the two families are interdependent.

"Father!"

"Uncle!" Cao Bin and others saluted Cao Song.

"Sit down!" Cao Song nodded, motioning them to sit down.

"Look at this!" Cao Song handed over the letter in his hand.

Several people passed on watching, Cao Bin's face sank when he saw it, but Xiahou Dun yelled: "What are you waiting for? Dong Zhuo rebelled, His Majesty went north, Meng De wrote another letter asking us to serve His Majesty, and he still hasn't gone back to pack up and salute !"

"That's right, Meng De said he needed our help, so let's go north to Bingzhou to help Meng De as soon as possible!" Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong also shouted.

Only the shrewd Cao Ren and Cao Bin changed their expressions and did not speak.

"A group of reckless people, shut up!" Cao Song cursed suddenly with a livid face.

"Uncle?" Brother Xiahou, Cao Hong looked at Cao Song blankly.

In fact, Cao Song had his own ideas. There are many princes in the world today, and none of them will be completely loyal to the Han Dynasty.

Qin lost its deer, and the whole world pursued it. Today's Han Dynasty, for hundreds of years, eunuchs and relatives alternated in chaos.After the Yellow Turban Uprising, the central government's power to control localities dropped to a freezing point.

Today's big man, why didn't he lose the deer?
Princes, generals and ministers, it is better to be kind, what the princes of the world are waiting for is an opportunity.It is an excellent opportunity for Dong Zhuo to monopolize power and abolish establishment.

This is an era when princes rise together, so why not my Cao family's opportunity?Knowing that Dong Zhuo had abolished the emperor and that Liu Bian had issued an edict to attack Dong Zhuo, Cao Song's heart was burning.

Although he is old, he is somewhat powerless to be the protagonist.But his eldest son, Cao Cao, is extremely shrewd, strategic, and dispositional, and he is the best choice.

In the family, there are ruling talents like Cao Bin and Cao Ren, and the Xiahou brothers are extremely brave. With the help of these talents, it is not impossible to strive for hegemony.

However, when Cao Song was full of enthusiasm, a letter from Cao Cao was completely extinguished.Unexpectedly, Cao Cao went to follow the troubled emperor?Still looking for talent from the family?

Cao Song was unwilling, even filled with anger, the Cao family's hope of fighting for world hegemony was shattered like this?

Most of the other disciples in the family are reckless, at most they can only charge forward and be a leader.Cao Bin, who is a little better, can't take on this important task.

"Could it be that my Cao family will only be a slave for the rest of my life?" Cao Song was filled with grief and indignation.Let them follow Liu Bian, Cao Song is unwilling, so let's not go, in this troubled world, the talents of the few disciples in the family have been wasted, and even the current status is difficult to maintain.

Therefore, when the Xiahou brothers were eager to go north, Cao Song cursed loudly.

"Uncle?" Brother Xiahou looked at Cao Song blankly.

Cao Song took a deep breath, looked at Cao Bin and Cao Ren and said, "Guohua, what do you think?"

"Father, my child thinks it's not right to go to Bingzhou!" Cao Bin paused every word.

"Huh? Guohua? Why don't you let us go to Bingzhou? Meng De personally wrote a letter asking us to help him! Your Majesty Assistant!" Xia Houdun suddenly said unhappy.

Among the two families, Cao Cao and Xiahou Dun had a very good relationship. When Cao Cao committed a crime, it was Xiahou Dun who waited for Cao Cao to be imprisoned.

Facing Xiahoudun's questioning, Cao Bin said without squinting: "Nowadays, the world is full of chaos. It's not bad for famous officials to choose the master and serve them, and even be a prince by themselves. But the elder brother has already regarded Liu Bian as the master, and we are not democratic. The material! This road is no longer feasible!"

Cao Song nodded approvingly, motioning Cao Bin to continue.

"This road will not work, but in troubled times, aristocratic families may be shattered or rise at any time. If we do nothing, we can only wait for the shattering. If we want to rise, we can only choose a master to serve it!"

"This is a major matter related to the fate of the family, so we must be cautious!" Cao Bin said seriously.

"The great man is already in the decline of the Western Mountains, and the princes are rising together. Can he, a troubled emperor, do something? He has something to do. We go, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty. What position can he occupy?"

Cao Song's eyes flickered and said: "This road seems to be difficult to walk, has Guohua met the Ming Lord?"

Cao Song knew in his heart that his family would not be able to be a vassal and compete in the world. If one is not good enough, it may lead to the collapse of the family.Cao Bin also said that Liu Bian's path was not going to work, and he must have met the Ming Lord.

Cao Bin nodded and said, "Not bad!"

Cao Song's eyes lit up, this son was born out of blue and better than blue, and his vision ability was far better than his own. If he said he was the master of Ming, he must be a great person.

"Who is my son's favor?"

"Zhao Kuangyin! This person is the son of Chen Liu's family. His ability is quite extraordinary, and he is even better than his eldest brother in some aspects. His family has a lot of wealth. In this chaotic world, as long as he has soldiers and money, he can also be the prefect of a county. .And he doesn't have any talent under his command now, and he has a very good relationship with his son!" Cao Bin laughed.

"Oh? He has no talents under his command, and he has a very good relationship with you?" Cao Song's eyes flashed.This is the most important thing. Ability is second. No one can say that they will definitely be able to win the world. Choosing the master of a family is an investment.

But status is the most important thing. After defecting to him, what is the status under his hands?According to what Cao Bin said, he has no talents under his command. If he goes to him like this, the Cao family must be the number one force under him, and he needs to rely on his existence.

"So, you can give it a try, Guohua, I have to see them before making a decision, as for you, stay at home until I make a decision, and you are not allowed to go anywhere!" Cao Song shouted.

The Xiahou brothers were unhappy for a while, only Cao Ren and Cao Hong nodded. The children of aristocratic families usually put the family's interests first, and Cao Ren and Cao Hong are quite sensible.If Cao Cao is at home and is ready to do great things by himself, Cao Ren and Cao Hong will naturally follow him, and he will not hesitate to die.

But Cao Cao is now following a troubled emperor, and the future is unknown. Cao Ren and Cao Hong don't want to put the fate of his family on the line.But the Xiahou brothers are reckless men. They only feel that they are close to Cao Cao, so they want to follow Cao Cao.

After listening to Cao Song's order, the brothers had no choice but to accept the order, but Cao Bin showed joy.

In fact, when Cao Bin saw Zhao Kuangyin, he had already recognized his master.Such rhetoric is just to make the family follow Zhao Kuangyin's example and add some glory.

But Liu Bian, who was far away in Bingzhou, didn't know that he took in Cao Cao, but came in and out of Zhao Kuangyin, the enemy, and he thought that the talents of Cao Cao's family who he had obtained might also become Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates and be cut off.

That night, the night was dark and windy.

Two figures quietly walked out of the gate of Cao Mansion.

"Don't let me go to look for the eldest brother? I want to look for it, so what is Zhao Kuangyin? Comparable to the emperor? Mengde is not sure about people?"

A wise man has a lot of worries, and there is bound to be a mistake. Cao Song thought that Cao Cao was loyal to the Han Dynasty, so he followed Liu Bian, but he never thought that it was Liu Bian who was wise and made Cao Cao see hope, so he got Cao Cao's loyalty.

"Shh, keep your voice down, if someone finds out, we won't be able to leave!"

"What are you afraid of? Who dares to stop me, who can stop me?"

The two voices cursed and got out of the Cao Mansion, heading north all the way.
