Chapter 397

"So it's Master Cao!"

Xiao Mo smiled, stopped, turned around and looked at Cao Gang.

Cao Gang said: "Ziheng, find a place and have a drink with the old man!"

Xiao Mo looked at the sky and said hesitantly: "It's getting late, Mr. Cao?"

Cao Gang played against Xiao Mo, stopped his words, and said: "If Zi Heng is in a hurry to go home, the old man will go home with you!"

It's all like this, if Xiao Mo still can't see that Cao Gang is looking for something to do with him, then he is in vain, so Xiao Mo said to Cao Gang: "It happens that Xiao Mo has no accompanying person, so you can take Mr. Cao's carriage. Why not do it?"

The two left Ji's mansion, got into Cao Gang's carriage, and then returned to Xiao's house.

The courtyard of Xiao's house was quiet, this time because Meng Qiuxiang's funeral needed manpower, Yunxue simply transferred some servants and maids whom Zhao Ziji trusted from Prince Yu's mansion to Xiao's house to help.

The servants and maidservants were cleaning the yard, some were busy packing some things to bring to Luzhou tomorrow, Xiao Mo took Cao Gang directly to the study, then ordered Lin Jia to serve tea, and then said to Cao Gang: "Cao Gang My lord, I don't know what to do with Xiao Mo?"

Cao Gang said: "Zi Heng, to tell you the truth, after this incident, Your Majesty's temperament has changed drastically, and he has become more and more silent!"

After finishing speaking, it happened that Lin Jia came with tea, Cao Gang and Xiao Mo were silent for a while, and after Lin Jia left, Xiao Mo closed the study room, looked at Cao Gang and said, "Master Cao is Said... the emperor, he...has something about King Qin to his heart?"

Cao Gang shook his head, looked at Xiao Mo and said: "It should be said that he is disheartened. The emperor has experienced too much in his life. Now that he is dying and full of hair, he has no ambition at all!"

Xiao Mo finally understood, and asked Cao Gang: "Your Majesty Cao, you mean... the emperor intends to give way to the crown prince?"

Cao Gang shook his head and said: "That's not the case, but the old man is worried. This is the time when the country is rich and the people are strong, and the White Lotus Sect has been defeated. The three armies are in full swing. It could have been..."

Speaking of this, Cao Gang's voice became quieter, and he said in a low voice: "Originally, I can take advantage of this momentum and go north to Yanyun. With Ziheng and Master Li here, maybe I can recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun in one fell swoop!"

Xiao Mo frowned when he heard the words, and said to Cao Gang: "Master Cao is not joking, is he? Shandong has not settled down yet, how can we start a war with the Liao Army at this time?"

When Cao Gang heard this, he laughed and said, "Zi Heng's words are wrong! I think that our An Dynasty is rich and strong, with sufficient food and grass. The Shandong matter is no longer worth mentioning. I still have 40 troops guarding the northwest. To deal with the Liao Kingdom, there are soldiers and soldiers. Grain, why be afraid of it?"

Depend on!Lao Cao is relying on the money of the An Dynasty, and he is clearly bullying the Liao Kingdom!
Xiao Mo thought for a while and asked, "What's the name of the teacher?"

Cao Gang smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said, "I knew Ziheng would ask this question!"

After finishing speaking, the lady from An Dynasty took out a border report from her pocket, and handed it to Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo read the report once, and then asked Cao Gang: "Master Cao, the border is in an emergency, when did this happen?"

Seeing Xiao Mo standing up excitedly, Cao Gang quickly motioned Xiao Mo to speak softly, and then said: "The report received in the afternoon said that this time Liao Kingdom has Yelu Aluhan as its commander and Xiao Dingyuan as its deputy commander. The famous general Huyan Liancheng is the striker! With 30 troops, the border is already overwhelmed by soldiers!"

Xiao Mo's expression changed when he heard the words, and he said, "Why didn't Mr. Cao report it to the emperor for such a big matter?"

Cao Gang said: "Zi Heng, don't worry, the border is very safe! Do you think it's so easy for the Liao Kingdom to gather 30 troops? This time, the [-] troops from Huyan Liancheng are the only ones who came to knock on the border. General Liang is here, and the border is still very stable! A day's delay is no big deal!"

Xiao Mo understood, and said: "It turns out that Mr. Cao intends to report to the emperor when he goes to court tomorrow..."

"No!" Cao Gang shook his head.

No?

Xiao Mo was speechless, and asked: "Master Cao...won't it be Xiao Mo..."

Cao Gang does not intend to report to the court, what does this mean?
He is a privy envoy who holds the power of soldiers and horses in An Dynasty, but he can't privately withhold information about border emergencies!
Does Cao Gang not want to do it anymore?

No...Of course not, Xiao Mo wouldn't be that stupid, Cao Gang said earlier that he wanted to fight the Liao Kingdom!

It's just... Zhao Quan is no longer ambitious now, so Cao just withheld the border report.

Because Cao Gang knew that with Zhao Quan's current state, if he was told that the Liao Kingdom had 30 troops coming to attack, Zhao Quan would definitely be seeking peace again!

Cao Gang didn't want to seek peace with Liao!
As a bloody Han Chinese, Cao Gang, especially Cao Gang, who sat in the position of the Privy Councilor of the An Dynasty, always has an inexplicable anger towards the Liao Kingdom in his heart!

This anger, in the past, when the entire court and even the sergeants of the An Dynasty were weak, Cao Gang had been trying his best to suppress his heart.But now, especially after Xiao Mo and Li Zhun fought so beautifully in Shandong, Cao Gang finally saw the dawn of An Chao's strength. Here to deliver pillows to Cao Gang!

When you want to sleep, someone will bring you a pillow. Cao Gang, who is worried about his teacher, has seized the opportunity, how can he give up so easily?

Even knowing that Zhao Quan was disheartened now, Cao Gang did not give up, so he found Xiao Mo and wanted Xiao Mo to find a way!

This is the most intelligent person in An Dynasty, everyone recognizes it!

Isn't the White Lotus Sect a bull?Isn't it just being played casually by him?

Cao Gang has full confidence in Xiao Mo!

So after Cao Gang heard Xiao Mo's words, he nodded and said, "That's right! This old man just wants Ziheng to help you persuade the emperor to send troops!"

Xiao Mo was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said: "Master Cao, forgive Xiao Mo for not agreeing! Xiao Mo will help the spirit tomorrow and send his mother back to her hometown for burial. I'm afraid there is nothing I can do to help with this court matter!"

When Cao Gang saw this, he thought that Xiao Mo would not help him, his heart sank, and he said, "Don't tell me Ziheng doesn't want to make such a great achievement for An Chao?"

Xiao Mo shook his head, and said: "Lord Cao, it's not that Xiao Mo doesn't want to, but Xiao Mo really can't separate himself now..."

Cao Gang said: "Ziheng just needs to tell the old man the way to persuade the emperor!"

"Is that so?" Xiao Mo frowned when he heard this, and then meditated in the study.

It is not that simple to convince Zhao Quan.Especially after Zhao Quan experienced what happened to Zhao Zixuan, he was disheartened. What can others persuade him?
After thinking for a while, Xiao Mo said to Cao Gang: "Instead of letting the emperor speak, it is better to let the prince make this decision! The emperor is disheartened now, and he will definitely let the prince supervise the country. My lord might as well wait for two more days before the prince supervises the country." When the time comes, submit this report again!"
