Cao Song was a little stunned when he heard Tao Qian's words. He felt that there was something wrong with his ears. Tao Qian's words were clearly saying that he wanted to find a home for Xuzhou, and his son Cao Cao looked good to him. He hoped that Cao Cao Becoming a Mu in Xuzhou can treat the people better and take care of his two sons.
Cao Song now feels that his eldest son is destined to be his destiny. Just like Guangwu back then, someone offered the territory to Xuzhou before anyone came to Xuzhou. It is also one of the most important grain-producing areas in the world today, and the requirements are still Take care of his son and don't let him lose the Tao family's incense. I won't lose pie in the sky, I will lose gold.
He holds most of Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yingchuan, Nanyang, and Xuzhou. If these territories are combined, the Cao family will rise.
When the aristocratic family reaches the point of no further development, nine out of ten will focus on that sole position. The Cao family originally did not have the qualifications, but when Cao Cao held a state in his hands, Cao Song had some ideas, and now Tao Qian hinted To give Xuzhou to Cao Cao, Cao Song no longer had any idea about the supreme position, but felt that he could actually pursue it.
"How dare you do this." Cao Song certainly didn't dare to agree at this time. Although he could feel Tao Qian's sincerity, even if the other party was sincere, you should not be impatient. This kind of thing must be slow and slow in order to be stable. Complete the handover, otherwise it would be ridiculous to directly obtain power from Tao Qian and all his subordinates turn against him!
"Brother Jugao, don't worry. I, Tao Gongzu, feel deeply that I am too old and weak to exercise the power of the state pastor for a long time. Even if Brother Jugao doesn't help recommend a virtuous person then, I can't support it." Tao Qian coughed twice, and a touch of blood appeared on his face.
"Gong Zu, please rest assured. I will work with you to recommend virtuous people to ensure the well-being of Xuzhou and the comfort of the Tao family." Cao Song did not agree to come immediately. Some things can be delayed to gain greater benefits. Although now The benefits are already very great.
Tao Qian felt reassured when he heard Cao Song's promise and sighed, "Cao Bao, bring my two sons to meet Brother Jugao."
Soon Tao Qian¡¯s two sons were brought over by Cao Bao. One of them saluted Cao Song carelessly, while the other looked timid. "My nephew has met Uncle Cao."
Tao Qian waved his hand to signal Cao Bao to take his two sons out, and said to Cao Song with a wry smile, "Brother Jugao is ridiculous, my two sons really can't be on the stage. Otherwise, I don't want to be like this! Now I am old. We also need to find a way out for our son. Brother Jugao, for the sake of our acquaintance, we will give him some more support when the time comes, and don¡¯t let the dog live on the streets.¡±
"How can this be so!" Cao Song said righteously, "With just that uncle, how can my two nephews endure hardship for a day with me, Cao Jugao? What's more, my eldest son is a benevolent and filial person. I will definitely tell you when I leave. He must treat his two nephews as if they were brothers!"
Cao Song was cruel. He even said the oath, after all, it was related to his Cao family's hegemony for generations. As long as he could capture Xuzhou and contribute to the rise of the Cao family, Cao Song felt that it was worthwhile for him to do so.
"Thank you very much, Brother Jugao. Qian would like to thank you for this." Tao Qian distanced himself and bowed to Cao Song. His father really went to the limit to do this for his son. After all, as Tao Qian, Now there is no need to give this gift to anyone.
Cao Song was startled, "Gongzu, please get up quickly, don't do this! Don't do this!"
Cao Song quickly stood up and pulled Tao Qian up. Although the two of them were kneeling facing each other and drinking, Tao Qian's gift completely shocked Cao Song. If he was still a little skeptical before, he was completely convinced now. Tao Qian was so sincere that he really went to such a step for his son.
"How pitiful the hearts of parents in the world are." Cao Song held Tao Qian's arms with both hands, pulled Tao Qian up and said, "Gongzu, I, Cao Jugao, swear here that if my Cao family really takes over Xuzhou, then your son I They will be replaced by their own children, and your descendants will be like the Cao family. If my Cao family has a bite to eat, your Tao family will never miss a bite!"
Cao Song¡¯s words are very rustic, but this kind of rustic words is what an old father needs. What he wants is Cao Song¡¯s oath. Only when Cao Song swears to treat his descendants well will Tao Qian hand over the biggest bargaining chip in his hand.
"Brother Jugao is laughing" Tao Qian wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes with his sleeve. After struggling in his youth, Tao Qian realized that everything was just for his own children and grandchildren. After seeing his two sons, he only After learning how to eat, drink and have fun, Tao Qian completely gave up fighting for hegemony and instead looked for potential stocks that could become his son's backer.
"Well, it's all for the sake of future generations. At my age, I understand what Gongzu was thinking about." Cao Song sighed and said, "Isn't it that our lifelong efforts are just for future generations to eat less?"Head? When I grow old and see my children and grandchildren being unfilial, I feel heartbroken, but I still have to plan for them. If I don't act like a parent, I won't know how hard it is. "
"" Tao Qian nodded with concern, "Brother Jugao, let's get rid of all our worries by drinking."
After Tao Qian made sure that he had chosen a supporter for his sons, he pulled Cao Song to drink like crazy without any worries. Ever since his energy began to decline and his body began to fail, he hadn't drank like this without any scruples for a long time. For the sake of his children and grandchildren He even gave up his last hobby, and now he has finally found a way out for his son. He can drink without any scruples. Even if he dies, someone will take care of his son on his behalf.
Cao Song is because Xuzhou has basically been included in his pocket. The Cao family is expected to prosper, and future generations may enjoy endless glory, wealth, and ecstasy. Naturally, there are people to share it with him.
Naturally, the two old men who planned for future generations were very drunk and did not wake up until early the next morning.
"Brother Jugao, have a good journey. I'm waiting for you to come again." Tao Qian stood at the gate of the city and saluted Cao Song.
"Hahaha, Gongzu, let's say goodbye. I will come. Even if I can't come, my eldest son will come in my place. Don't worry, Gongzu." Cao Song said with a smile, but he didn't know this As soon as the words came out, they became a prophecy!
"When the time comes, the two of us will have a drink and chat, and Cao Bao will give Brother Jugao a ride for me." Tao Qian looked at Cao Song's winding motorcade and said to his general Cao Bao.
"Here!" Cao Bao took his generals and more than a thousand people to protect Cao Song and left. It wasn't until Cao Bao left his general Zhang Kai and 500 soldiers thirty miles away that he slowly retreated.
"Thank you, General Cao, for sending me off!" Cao Song saluted Cao Bao while sitting on his horse.
"Zhang Kai, remember to protect Duke Cao for me!" Cao Bao warned loudly.
"The rest of the journey depends on the general's protection." Cao Song smiled at Zhang Kai and said.
"I'll ask Mr. Cao to give more advice in the future." Zhang Kai said, cupping his fists. (To be continued)
