Three Kingdoms: From Yinlin to Great Wei Xiongzhu

Chapter 129 Cao Cao: My Son Marries My Daughter?I'm so...

"Brother, brother Yu also heard that that girl Cao Mu has been running to Lu Yu's mansion every three days recently."

After all, she was a niece, and she couldn't even open her mouth because her words were too harsh.

Cao De organized his language as tactfully as possible.

Ah... ah... Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, what do you mean?He's a bit confused...

"Why is Mu'er running to Lu Yu?" Cao Cao asked back.

"This..." Cao Dexin hesitated, and simply said: "Sister-in-law asked Mu'er to study with Miss Cai Yan, saying that she was going there to learn literary etiquette, but in fact...No one in Chenliu County knows that sister-in-law is deliberately letting Muer get close to Lu Yu She wants to make Mr. Lu Yu the son-in-law of the eldest brother!"

What?Cao Cao felt that his ears were hallucinating?
I pinched my ear suddenly, it hurts...

At this moment, Cao Cao recalled...Your sister, my son is going to be my son-in-law?This... what the hell is this?

Cao Cao, who was originally in a clear mood, suddenly turned pale, with surprise written all over his cheeks!

If someone else said this, he would never believe it, and if it was not complete, he would pull it out and beat him with fifty army sticks, and then beat him with a whip.

But these words came from his own younger brother Cao De, and Cao De just came back from Chenliu County, so the truth of this matter is... beyond doubt!

"Eh."

Cao Cao shook his hand heavily.

... Ding Hui, Ding Hui, you woman... You are not messing around, isn't this a mess of love?
Cao Cao muttered in his heart, my son married my daughter...I...I...

For a moment, Cao Cao didn't even know what he should call Lu Yu, Yu'er?A worthy son-in-law... the son-in-law of your second uncle!

Suddenly...he wanted to scold Ding Hui harshly.

But Mrs. Ding has always been strong, and Mrs. Ding's aunt is Cao Cao's own mother, and when the Cao family was implicated in the Empress Song case, the Ding family did not spend less money to manage it. If you really want to scold Ding Hui, Cao Cao feels a little Sorry motherfucker.

"Oh, stupid, stupid!"

Immediately, Cao Cao didn't care that Cao De was still in the big tent, and shouted. "Come on, come on..."

The soldier in front of the door heard the shout, thought it was something urgent, and ran over in a hurry, but saw that Cao Cao's cheeks were congested with blood at this moment, his face was red to the ears, and his eyes were even wider, as if there was something in front of him. monster.

"Mr. Cao?"

Two confidant soldiers bowed their hands...

Cao Cao's mind was running at high speed, his reaction was extremely fast, and he almost instantly thought of all the people who were involved in this matter, or in other words, those who could solve this matter.

call…

After a long exhalation.

Cao Cao ordered immediately. "You immediately go to Yanzhou in a hurry for [-] miles, go to see Yuan Rang, and tell him what I said...just say that his son Xia Houmao (mao) is at the right age for marriage, and I, Cao Cao, intend to betroth Mu'er to 'Zilin', in this way, the Cao family and the Xiahou family will be able to get closer! Let him start preparing the matchmaker and the dowry, and we will be married next month!"

Xiahoumao, whose name is Zilin, is the eldest son of Xiahoudun. He is handsome and has a lot of martial arts skills. He is a nephew that Cao Cao likes quite a lot.

It seems... in the current situation, it is impossible not to push Xia Houmao out.

Among the members of the Xiahou Clan, Xiahoumao was the only one who was similar in age to Cao Mu. Even if he was to block the gun for "Yu'er", he had to be taken.

Speaking of which, Cao Cao, who was forced into a desperate situation, could only play a big game of chess. In order to prevent Mrs. Ding from messing up the mandarin ducks, and to prevent his son from turning into his son-in-law, he had to surround Wei and save Zhao!

It's just... this sudden order made the two confidant soldiers a little confused.

One of them cupped his hands. "Mr. Cao, guarding Yanzhou...Lu Gongcao, Xun Sima, General Cao Chun, General Cao Xiu, and Cheng Yu Sima have all made great achievements. It seems that General Xiahou has no merit, but has lost Puyang City. At this time...if Sending out such a marriage news, will it... cause people to criticize?"

Cao Cao is a master who can listen to advice.

Therefore, he told his confidant soldiers that if he did something wrong, he could tell him in private without blaming him.

For this reason, the soldier felt that this matter was open to discussion, so he spoke out.

According to past experience, no matter whether Cao Cao adopts it in the end, he will think about it and weigh the pros and cons again... But this time, it is a little different.

"I've made up my mind, you guys set off immediately... don't criticize yourself." Cao Cao raised his voice, and his tone was quite firm, not like a tone that could be negotiated.

This... Although the soldiers were still a little hesitant, it can be seen that Cao Cao was so determined that he turned around and did this incredible thing.

"Wait..." Cao Cao shouted to stop, thinking that if the soldiers were so suspicious, then the others would be even more suspicious, and even Xiahou Dun dared not accept this "order".

Immediately, Cao Cao's tone softened a lot.

"If anyone else asks you about this, just say that I, Cao Cao, said that Yuan Rang is my younger brother. He was already disheartened after losing the city, and this is just to cheer him up."

Speaking of this, Cao Cao paused, and then spoke.

"If Yuan Rang asks you, you just say that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. You don't need to care about the battle in Puyang City. Let him start preparing for his son's marriage. In addition, pass on my military order and then give Yuan Rang three extra Thousands of soldiers and horses will be promoted to a higher level."

uh... this...

Although Cao Cao had some seemingly "reasonable" explanations, the two soldiers were even more confused.

It seems that something is wrong...

This is General Xiahou, the more he loses the battle... the more the officials do it.

Although I don't know why.

"Here..." The two soldiers still agreed to do it immediately.

Cao De swallowed frantically from the sidelines. These soldiers don't understand the good intentions of the elder brother. He understands that in order to marry the eldest daughter Cao Mu, he really took great pains.

at this time…

"Report to Duke Cao..." Another soldier came to the door of the big tent and shouted through the door: "Mr. Cao, the urgent message from Yanzhou is written by Xun Lingjun himself..."

Upon hearing Xun Yu's letter, Cao Cao was in high spirits.

His letter came, and it was probably related to the current situation in Xuzhou, which is difficult to ride a tiger. Xun Yu and Yu'er must have discussed something...

Cao Cao wanted to order to call the generals and counselors of the Central Army to discuss the matter...but just as he was about to blurt out, he saw Cao De.

Hey, I got confused about things just now, and almost forgot that Brother De was still by my side.

How could Cao De fail to see what the elder brother meant...

Immediately whispered: "Brother, let's go to the military affairs, the matter here has been settled, and I will go back to Taishan County, Yanzhou, and report to Ah Weng. Great work, I don’t know how happy I should be!”

After all, Cao De intends to go one step ahead...

"Brother De." Cao Cao hastily called out. "Wait a moment, I will send someone to escort you along the way..."

In fact, this is not what Cao Cao wanted to say, "Ahem..." He coughed lightly, walked to Cao De's side and lowered his voice, "It's okay to tell Ah Weng about Yu'er's identity, but...my wife wants to betroth Mu'er Don't, don't tell Ah Weng about Yu'er!"

"Ah Weng's health is not very good, we can't let him get sick because of this."

That's what I said, but...in fact, Cao Cao felt that this matter was outrageous. Apart from being outrageous, it was also a bit embarrassing. He couldn't throw him to his own father, right?

"Young brother, remember." Cao De bowed his hands and bid farewell, and walked quickly towards the gate of the camp under the escort of several soldiers.

Ahem...

And Cao Cao cleared his throat, as if nothing happened.

"Where are the messengers and letters from Yanzhou?" Cao Cao asked...

"They are all in the big tent of the Chinese army, waiting for Cao Gong." The soldier replied truthfully.

"Okay..." Cao Cao nodded, and then ordered. "Immediately go to each battalion to have Zixiao, Zilian, and Miaocai come to the central army to discuss matters. In addition... also go to invite Xi Zhicai and Xun Gongda, and tell them that Wen Ruo has finally sent a letter!"

"Here..." The armored soldier knew that this matter was of great importance, so he did not dare to hesitate to deal with it hastily.

Cao Cao let out a long breath...

Adjust your mood, next, it's about the overall situation.

After dealing with the issue of love between children and deciding on the way and method for Yu'er to become the heir, then... all that remains is to face the problem of Xiapi City in front of him, and Cao Cao has returned to his resolute and heroic appearance.

And following Xun Yu's letter, it is time to make a final decision on whether to go to Picheng to fight or stay...

"Walk…"

Cao Cao strode towards the big tent of the Chinese army. He wanted to read Xun Yu's letter first to see if there were any unique insights in it!

...

Caoying Dazhai, the big tent of the Chinese army.

After Cao Cao asked the messenger about the situation in Yanzhou, he signaled the messenger to go down and rest.

At this moment, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Xi Zhicai, and Xun You have not yet arrived... Cao Cao hastily opened the bamboo slips and roughly scanned the words.

And it's okay not to sweep, just sweep it.

"Hahaha…"

"Ha ha ha ha…"

...Cao Cao laughed heartily. As for the reason, his eyes were completely attracted by the contents of the letter...the letter...it was Lu Yu's strategy, which Xun Yu summarized and recorded.

But there is a bit of playfulness between the lines...

For example, the sentence Xuzhou is very chaotic, Liu Bei can't grasp it, and the sentence Liu Bei can't grasp it, Cao Gongneng!

Combined with the whole article, it is interesting, interesting, and Cao Cao feels that there is a bit of inside taste.

With a smile, Cao Cao continued to look down...and this is the core content of the letter.

After a few lines, he became serious all of a sudden, and he lifted the bamboo slips up.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and where the bloodshot pupils passed by, he saw eight meaningful words in the bamboo slips——Xuzhou autonomy, mutual checks and balances!

Hiss... Is this an answer to the question of how to govern Xuzhou?
Speaking of which, this is one of the two major problems Cao Cao is facing now...

Cao Cao remembered that he didn't mention this in the letter he sent before, and this problem was discovered only recently, but he didn't want to, Yu'er thought of a countermeasure in advance.

As for this countermeasure...

Xuzhou autonomy?autonomy?
Cao Cao was slightly lost in thought. The Han Dynasty implemented the parallel system of prefectures and states. Whether it is a state or a vassal state, it is subject to the imperial court, or it is subject to certain princes.

Self-government, self-government?It was the first time Cao Cao had heard of this word, this strategy, and it was unheard of and unseen.

Then look down...

Xuzhou people rule Xuzhou, Xuzhou people rule Xuzhou people!

Cao Cao's eyes opened in vain, and he became interested all of a sudden. He is a smart man, and the level of these two sentences alone is very high, explaining the problem and the solution very well.

The problem in Xuzhou lies in the intertwined local clans and complex factions, and in the distribution of rights. If you allocate more people, the natives in Xuzhou will be dissatisfied, which will cause hidden dangers!
But if more were distributed to the natives of Xuzhou, then Xuzhou seemed...to be out of Cao Cao's control again.

But... Yu'er proposed that the people of Xuzhou rule Xuzhou?
From the literal point of view, it is not complicated, that is, Cao Cao returned all military power and political power to Xuzhou people...

In this way, the problem of power distribution is easily solved, but...

If all the appointments are made, does Xuzhou still belong to Cao Cao?Is this a little too bold?
With such doubts, Cao Cao continued to look down...

Just looking at it like this, two words came into view - check and balance!
Xun Yu summed up Lu Yu's views very well - in Xuzhou, the three forces check and balance each other, and the three pillars stand together and complement each other!
hiss…

Cao Cao is so smart, he found some inner flavors from it all at once.

"Danyang faction, Celebrity faction, Common people faction? Is Yu'er trying to let these three forces check and balance each other, so that the three pillars stand together?"

This point of view is very novel, which made Cao Cao's eyes shine.

He wished he could read all of this letter at once, but...the bamboo slips were so long that it was impossible to see the end at a glance. Cao Cao read it patiently, word by word.

The following paragraphs are all Xun Yu's views on "Xuzhou autonomy" and "mutual checks and balances".

"Wonderful, wonderful!"

In this reply letter, Lu Yu's thinking is certainly very novel, but Xun Yu's summary and induction are even more evident in his writing skills. Cao Cao clenched his fists while being excited, and slammed on the copy with a "bang".

He understood, fully understood. Previously... when he mentioned Xuzhou governance with Xi Zhicai and Xun You, it always revolved around the distribution of rights in Xuzhou.

But none of these hit the point.

In Lu Yu's words and Xun Yu's summary, one "self-government" and one "check and balance", just these four words and two points can completely solve the situation in Xuzhou.

Military power, political power, hehe... He Cao Cao has no need to fight for these "vain" things.

As long as the three intertwined forces in Xuzhou can't swallow each other and check and balance each other, then... Cao Cao is the uncrowned king of Xuzhou and the master behind the four counties of Xuzhou!
"Hahaha...that's right, that's it...hahahaha!"

Cao Cao's devilish laughter resounded throughout the camp again.

The celebrity faction, the common people faction, and the Danyang faction, the three forces are fighting openly and secretly, and the backer or black hand behind it is Cao Cao. In this way...they must curry favor with Cao Cao and show themselves well. Who would dare to stab him in the back? Where is the knife?

The so-called snipe and clam fight each other for the fisherman's profit, and the so-called dog bites the dog.

"Ha ha ha ha…"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao laughed again. He thought this method was wonderful. Xuzhou people ruled Xuzhou, and Xuzhou people ruled Xuzhou people. This method works, this method works!

It seems that because the devilish laughter shook the rubble and resounded through the entire camp, when Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Xi Zhicai, and Xun You rushed to the big tent, they all looked at Cao Cao with extremely surprised eyes...

They can't figure out what kind of happy thing it is?
Only in this way can Cao Cao, whose face has been covered with dark clouds in the past few days, suddenly see the sun on his cheeks, and the sky is clear... and he can laugh like a devil.

In an instant, Cao Ren, Cao Hong, Xia Houyuan, Xi Zhicai, and Xun You all wanted to ask in unison——

——"Cao Gong, why are you laughing?"
