Cao Cao called me to rob a tomb

Chapter 803 Foreshadowing (4000)

Ever since this incident happened, there had been a rift between Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.

Originally, even though Yuan Shao experienced the defeat in the Battle of Guandu, he still retained considerable power, which still made Boss Cao quite afraid.

However, the two brothers of the Yuan family did not trust each other. They were always on guard against each other in both political affairs and war. Boss Cao was given a huge opportunity. In the end, Boss Cao adopted Guo Jia's strategy, pretending to retreat and wait for Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang to attack each other before returning to the north, easily defeating them one by one.

Yuan Tan died in this battle, especially under the tiger and leopard riders who officially participated in the battle, and Yuan Shang could only flee to Wuhuan like a bereaved dog.

Since then, the Yuan Group has almost been destroyed, and it no longer has the ability to compete with Boss Cao. Jizhou and Youzhou have become Boss Cao's pocket.

In fact, this period of history has little to do with Wu Liang.

All he cares about is that Yuan Tan is about to go south to capture Qingzhou. As Wang Qing said, once Yuan Tan goes south and takes Qingzhou, it will definitely have a great impact on the local political environment. must be the first to be affected.

In addition, Wen Renzhao, an orphan and widowed mother, had used "unfilial" means to put her biological father under house arrest to seize the power of the family. If anyone in the family is dissatisfied with her, and in this era, women's power is also known as unjust and unsatisfactory. Yuan Tan goes south to do something when the political situation is turbulent. At that time, Wen Renzhao will face internal and external troubles at the same time...

If the situation is better, she may be placed under house arrest.

If the situation is not good, she may be killed, and the child she gave birth to Wu Liang will not be spared.

After thinking about it, Wu Liang still felt that Wang Qing's suggestion was correct. If he really didn't want Wen Renzhao and his children to encounter difficulties, he should do something to prevent problems before they happen.

Also.

It is also urgent to explore the Qi Ai Cemetery, otherwise, once Yuan Tan occupies Qingzhou, it will not be so easy to go again in the short term.

"What's your plan, Brother Youcai? It just so happens that in the past two days I have another caravan going to Le'an to transport salt. If Brother Youcai has this intention, why don't I order the caravan to arrive with Brother Youcai?" Let me convey the meaning on behalf of you, and teach them to bring this younger brother and sister back with the child, so that the talented and virtuous brother will not have to make an extra trip."

Seeing that Wu Liang agreed with his opinion, Wang Qing immediately said enthusiastically.

However, his thoughts are good, but he doesn't know Wen Renzhao, let alone Wen Renzhao's feelings and persistence for his family.

When Wu Liang left Le'an country, he had thought of taking Wen Renzhao away with him. After all, she was already his own woman, but Wen Renzhao's attitude was very firm, insisting on staying in Wenren's family and continuing to serve Wenren's family. Wu Liang couldn't resist her, so he had to settle for the next best thing, asking the caravan of Cao's Salt Company to only do business with Wen Renzhao, so as to stabilize Wen Renzhao's position in the family in this way.

Therefore, Wu Liang knew very well that if he only taught the caravan to bring a few words, it would be absolutely impossible to bring Wen Renzhao back.

Even if Wu Liang went to persuade him in person, he might not be able to persuade Wen Renzhao.

Besides.

In this way, wouldn't Wu Liang be equal to temporarily abandoning the gnats in the Qi Ai cemetery? Of course it won't work!
"This matter is my family matter. There are many things that brother Yu Nian doesn't understand. I'm afraid it will be difficult for brother Yu Nian to intervene. I still have to go there myself."

So Wu Liang shook his head with a smile and said, "However, I can go with the caravan under Brother Yu Nian's command, so that this journey can be smoother."

"In that case, I won't talk too much."

Wang Qing nodded, "It's just that I don't know when the talented and virtuous brother is going to leave. I will go back and order the caravan to prepare in advance. Don't delay the talented and virtuous brother's business."

Wu Liang pondered and said, "Why don't you make it two days later?"

……

As soon as this idea was uttered, it immediately got the response of all the backbone of the Huan army.

Everyone staying in Chenliu is also very boring recently, looking forward to find an opportunity to go out and relax, not to mention that now that Boss Cao is preparing for the battle, Chenliu City is often under curfew, and the opening time of the city gate has been shortened a lot. Added some depressing feeling.

So the whole Wu family got busy again, making sufficient preparations for this trip.

On the contrary, Wu Liang was the most free, so he decided to take Cao Ni, Zhen Mi, and Bai Jingjing for a stroll around the city to see what the three of them wanted to buy, which was also considered to be a gentleman's duty.

Like the women of later generations, the three beauties were most interested in cloth shops, leather shops and rouge shops.

Especially Cao Ni, who is very familiar with the shops that can be visited in Chenliu City, just like this, with Zhen Mi on the left and Bai Jingjing on the right, leading the two of them around like a host.

But Wu Liang and Dian Wei who accompanied him became completely outsiders, and could only follow behind bored.

When he came to the fabric store, he saw several guards with weapons standing outside the store, and there were obviously noble people shopping in the store.

Although Wu Liang didn't know these guards, he recognized their clothes.

They are the personal guards of Cao Mansion.

"Lady."

The guards first recognized Cao Ni, and immediately bowed respectfully, and then they saw Wu Liang who was following behind, and hurriedly bowed again, "I have seen Wu Taishi."

"Don't be too polite."

Wu Liang nodded to them with a smile, and was about to ask who was inside, but Cao Ni rushed to ask, "Did Aunt Bian come to see the cloth?"

"That's right, Mrs. Bian came out to walk around, I'll wait here to follow and guard."

The leading guard replied respectfully.

Wu Liang naturally knew who Mrs. Bian was.

She is the biological mother of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, the empress dowager of Cao Wei after Cao Pi officially became emperor, after Cao Pi died young, Cao Rui succeeded to the throne, and she became the empress dowager again.

In Wu Liang's heart, she is the strongest lying king among Boss Cao's concubines.

You must know that Mrs. Bian is only from kabuki, and kabuki is one of the most humble professions in this era, and she cannot be seen by the nobles at all. Marrying into a wealthy family and becoming a concubine is already smoke from the ancestral grave, let alone It is said that he will eventually become Boss Cao's official wife and be crowned the empress dowager and empress dowager.

However, as far as Wu Liang knew, Madam Bian was able to reach such a height not because she was good at palace fighting, she did almost nothing, she just lay down and went up.

First of all, Mrs. Ding blamed Boss Cao for the death of her adopted son Cao Ang in Wancheng. Since then, she broke with Boss Cao and returned to her natal family. Even if Boss Cao came to persuade her personally, Madam Ding was determined not to change her mind.

In the end, Boss Cao had to break with Mrs. Ding, and Mrs. Bian became Boss Cao's official wife logically.

Of course, this is also related to Mrs. Bian's stomach.

Up to now, Mrs. Bian has given birth to four children for Boss Cao, and all of them are boys.

These days, a mother is more expensive than a child.

Mrs. Bian's ability to give birth to so many boys for Boss Cao in a row is equivalent to making great contributions to the Cao family. Boss Cao is a person who pays for rewards and punishments. After breaking up with Mrs. Ding, it is also reasonable to help Mrs. Bian. .

What's more, her four children are quite outstanding, especially Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, who are known to almost everyone in later generations, so there is no need to repeat them.

However, this does not mean that she can become the empress dowager and empress dowager in the future.

Because although the eldest son Cao Ang died in the battle of Wancheng, in the same year Boss Cao ushered in another heir who would make him extremely proud-Cao Chong.

That is to say, Cao Chong is already born now, but he has just turned one year old, and has not yet shown the characteristics of a child prodigy.

Cao Ang is not dead, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi have no chance to inherit Boss Cao's family business.

And if Cao Chong does not die, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi also have no chance.

It is naturally impossible for Mrs. Bian to become the empress dowager and empress dowager in the future.

But Mrs. Bian, the lying king, had such a good fate. She still didn't do anything. Cao Chong died of illness when she was 13 years old.

In the end, Boss Cao could only choose an heir from among relatively good heirs, and that's why the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi later fought for the heir.

But for Mrs. Bian, these two are her sons. No matter who succeeds in the end, she will always be invincible. The life of lying down to win the king is so boring...

"I haven't seen Aunt Bian for some days, Aunt Bian!"

Cao Ni immediately ran into the cloth shop while calling out.

Seeing this, Wu Liang also smiled at the guards, and took Zhen Mi and Bai Jingjing in together, not to mention that Mrs. Bian might become the empress dowager in the future, even if there was no such thing, she would still be Cao Cao at any rate. The boss's family members, Wu Liang should come forward to greet him, which is in line with etiquette.

As a result, Wu Liang walked into the cloth shop and found that Mrs. Bian did not come alone at all, and there were two boys beside her.

One of the boys, Wu Liang, had been seen a long time ago, and he was the historical Wei Wendi Cao Pi.

It was the first time I saw another boy, Wu Liang, who seemed to be only five or six years old... But considering his age, and guessing from his slightly thin body and fair face, it is not difficult to judge that he is Cao Zhi.

Because as far as Wu Liang knows, Cao Zhang, who is sandwiched between Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, should be eight or nine years old now, and the history books record that Cao Zhang liked to fight fierce tigers before he was the weakest champion, and his arm strength was extraordinary. .

"I met Mrs. Bian."

Looking across the faces of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Wu Liang stepped forward to salute Mrs. Bian.

"You are here too. You and your wife are inseparable. It seems that your life after marriage is quite comfortable, so I feel at ease."

Mrs. Bian should be in her 30s now, and she still looks charming. When she saw Zhen Mi and Bai Jingjing who were following Wu Liang when she came in, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes unconsciously. Ni doesn't seem to care about this matter, so there's not much to it. After all, this era is monogamous and multiple concubines, and she herself is also a concubine. As long as Cao Ni has no opinion, she naturally has no opinion.

"Thanks to Mrs. Bian's love."

Wu Liang lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly.

At the same time, he noticed a bad phenomenon from the corner of his eye. He found that the eyes of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi didn't seem to be right. Cao Zhi might not be so obvious when he was young, but Cao Pi's eyes were obviously a little straight. Staring at Zhen Mi so directly, she looked very enthusiastic.

This……

Wu Liang said inwardly that he was not good. If he had known that Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were here, he would not have taught Zhen Mi to show up easily. After all, the two brothers had a very close relationship with Zhen Mi in history, and there was still an unexplainable relationship between them. the past.

Especially Cao Pi.

It's not a good thing to introduce children.

Many people don't know why Cao Pi died at the age of 40. In fact, this has something to do with his excessive licentiousness, and the last fatal disease is also related to this.

Although Boss Cao is a good wife, he still has restraint and principles.

But after Jiezi proclaimed himself emperor, he got carried away. After he succeeded to the throne, he not only searched for beauties in the world, but even the widow of Boss Cao. Those were all his aunts!
Even after Cao Pi got sick, his biological mother, Mrs. Bian, came to visit and saw Boss Cao’s widow serving Cao Pi in the palace. Er", after Cao Pi finally died of illness, Mrs. Bian refused to go to the funeral, and refused to recognize her son, even though he was the supreme emperor.

Now when Cao Pi saw Zhen Mi, his eyes were so warm.

How could Wu Liang not be worried?
Jie Zi can disregard ethics, and even his biological mother called him mean and dirty. Now that he meets Zhen Mi who has hit it off in history, he will definitely remember her in his heart. God knows what he will do to get Zhen Mi in the future?
This time, Wu Liang really felt the crisis.

He suddenly felt that it was right to save Cao Ang twice before. For his own benefit, no matter whether it was Cao Ang or Cao Chong, he had to keep one, so that Cao Pi would have no chance to become the Wei Wendi in history, and naturally he would not be able to get Zhen. Mi do something that is not good for her...

"Why do my family members say these scenes?"

Mrs. Bian smiled, and said again, "There is a new kind of colored silk that is quite rare here. It should be good to make clothes with this kind of fabric. You and your wife should also take a look. I have already ordered the fabric, so I won't be here. This place disturbs the quietness of you and your wife, Qinghe, if you have free time, you can go home and take a walk, my aunt will prepare your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake for you, if you are talented, come along."

"Thank you, Auntie. I also miss Auntie's sweet-scented osmanthus cake. I will go back when I have time."

Cao Ni said with a smile.

"must."

Wu Liang nodded.

"Pi'er, Zhi'er, let's go."

Mrs. Bian nodded slightly, and stood against Cao Pi and Cao Zhidao beside her.

"Mother hug."

Cao Zhi immediately acted coquettishly, and stretched out his hands for a hug.

"what?"

Cao Pi, however, seemed to have been awakened suddenly, and looked away from Zhen Mi unnaturally, and replied "Oh".
