Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 274 I Came... No, You Came Just in Time! [7000 characters please subscribe and ask for a monthly ticket]

The so-called teacher is famous.

Just to find a plausible reason for his actions, the Cao family's army went south into Yuzhou and took over the control of several counties.

This is more or less to come up with an argument.

Even if this so-called excuse is completely made up by myself, it should be there.

At this moment, Cao Ang waited in the government office for a while.

His father, Cao Cao, has arrived as promised.

After the father and son screened away the rest of the idlers, they closed the door and started discussing immediately.

"Shh!"

Spreading out a simple map of Yuzhou in front of him, Cao Cao first pointed to the counties and states adjacent to Yanzhou, and then analyzed it to Cao Ang.

"I thought about it last night. Now we want to go south to intervene in Yuzhou's affairs. The nominal banner we erected is nothing more than two directions."

"The first is that Yuzhou has been plagued by bandits, and the officials and people in the prefecture's counties are suffering unspeakably. Chen Wang Liu Chong and Chen Guoguo Minister Luo Jun asked us for help."

"And our Cao family adheres to the policy of being good-neighborly and friendly, and as loyal ministers of the great Han Dynasty, we should help each other. Even if we are in a busy schedule, we have deployed some of the few troops in Yanzhou to help Chen Guoqing suppress the enemy. banditry."

This idea is actually exactly the same as Cao Ang's layout in Qingzhou, and when Kong Rong asks Cao's family for help one day, it is actually exactly the same.

It's just the rhetoric in Cao Cao's words.

It really made Cao Ang laugh.

This old man can be considered to have practiced now, and he has a set of diplomatic rhetoric.

What a busy schedule, what a small number of troops, all of these are nonsense.

Cao Cao and Cao Ang, father and son, had already made up their minds. Once they went south, they would use all their troops in Yanzhou to put all their chips on the table and win such a fertile land in one go.

Not only will the next strategic center of gravity be the south, but once it is adjusted, tens of thousands of troops will be mobilized.

……

After chuckling.

However, Cao Ang pointed to several counties around Chen State, and then said with some concerns.

"It's not difficult to ask His Royal Highness Chen Wang to cooperate with us. It just so happens that in Yuzhou, there are also small groups of yellow scarf bandits raging. It is justified for us to go south to suppress the bandits under the banner."

"It's just that the borders of Yingchuan County and Liang State have never had friendship with our Cao family. Besides, these people's positions are vacillating. It may not be easy for them to cooperate."

Cao Cao let out a "huh".

He nodded slightly to show his approval.

While pointing to Cao Ang's seal on the table, the East County Governor's Seal.

"If this way doesn't work, then take the second way. As the father, in the capacity of Yanzhou shepherd, one of our Cao family clan will be appointed as the governor of Yuzhou."

"At that time, in the name of the governor of Yuzhou, we took over the counties and states openly and aboveboard."

This way of expressing oneself.

When the prestige of the imperial court was greatly reduced and the world was in chaos, it was used especially frequently.

Although unorthodox.

But the picture is just a name.

Whether you recognize it or not, if I say I am the governor of Yuzhou, I am.

You said that you are also the governor of Yuzhou, so let's see the real chapter under our hands, and show off with soldiers and horses. Whoever has the biggest fist is the real governor of Yuzhou.

……

After Cao Ang thought for a while.

Cao Cao was asked about many details.

"Father, as far as I know, Yuan Shu has already played Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou, right?"

Cao Cao nodded again to show his affirmation.

He smiled before saying anything.

"After the disbandment of the League of Governors, Kong Gongxu, the original governor of Yuzhou, died of illness not long ago, and this position has been vacant all the time."

"Yuan Shu was the first to act. He first announced Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou, but there is still one person who is not far behind, and that is Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu."

"He also played Zhou Ang under his command, who is the governor of Yuzhou."

"However, the two are surprisingly consistent, that is, the governors of Yuzhou that they each played, none of them are in Yuzhou, and all of them are remote leaders in name."

Cao Ang suddenly understood.

What Yuan Shu did was to raise Sun Jian's position, but his strategic center of gravity was Nanyang, so Sun Jian stayed in Nanyang County to help him.

And Yuan Shao's only purpose.

It is disgusting Yuan Shu.

After all, there are two governors in one state, which greatly weakens the legitimacy.

If once there are more and more assassins.

In the hearts of the county officials, the governor may not be much better than the county magistrate.

……

There are currently two options.

Obviously, the latter is superior.

It's just that after Cao Ang pondered for a while, he came up with a new way of thinking.

"Father, how about this, you first announce that I am the governor of Yuzhou, but let's keep it secret first."

"I'll write a letter later, and send people all the way to Chang'an, and use Dong Zhuo's hand to directly appoint me as the shepherd of Yuzhou."

"In this way, not only has it completely overwhelmed the governors appointed by the two Yuan brothers, but also the documents of the imperial court and the emperor's seal have surpassed all the people who have been represented in terms of legitimacy."

Hearing this all of a sudden.

Cao Cao was startled suddenly.

He really forgot about Dong Zhuo.

Thinking about it now, it is quite feasible.

Others don't know, but he knows very well that he, the Yanzhou Mu, and his son Cao Ang's Dongjun prefect, all got it from Dong Zhuo.

This old boy is far away in Chang'an.

Although eyeliner is also arranged in the Kanto area, but I don't know the inside story of many things.

However, his son Cao Ang has already won his trust, and played the Dong thief with applause.

As can be expected.

If Cao Ang wrote a letter, it would be very powerful in the letter, and Dong Zhuo would mistakenly think that the official position of Yuzhou pastor had to be given now, but Cao Ang still had his heart for him.

Presumably the dog thief will follow suit.

……

Think about it here.

Cao Cao immediately lowered his voice, and then whispered to Cao Ang: "I think this will work!"

"It's just that you secretly have a connection with Dong thief, and that you can gain benefits from him through deception and use, and the rest of you don't know."

"And if this matter gets out, it will have a very bad impact."

"So after you write the letter, give it to me. I have people under my command who are absolutely trustworthy. Once you come and go, you will definitely keep your mouth shut."

"At that time, people in the world were only Dong thieves. They wanted to use this method to disturb the water in the Kanto region and provoke a struggle between us and the Yuan brothers, but they would not think otherwise."

After going through many things.

Cao Cao has completely changed now.

Using the money, food, and official position given by the enemy to deal with him in reverse, what could be more comfortable than this?

If Dong Zhuo hadn't appointed him the post of Yanzhou Shepherd under the guise of the Son of Heaven, how could the Cao family have the status it has today, and why would Cao Mengde gather tens of thousands of soldiers and laugh with Er Yuan and others.

So for continuing to use this trick.

Cao Cao has no psychological burden.

He even thought that in the future when his father and son led troops to break through Chang'an and captured Dong Zhuo alive, he would definitely point Dong Zhuo's nose and laugh at him face to face for two and a half years.

……

And after confirming this matter.

Cao Cao watched Cao Ang take out the brocade, and then wrote a bunch of eloquently on it.

The most important thing is to continue to attribute the credit for the chaos in Jizhou to himself, and to show his credit to Dong Zhuo, showing how much Yuan Shao and Gongsun lost each other under his plan.

And the next step is to deal with Yuan Shu.

It is also to completely cut off the roots of the Dong League.

After all, it was the two brothers of the Yuan family that had been able to establish the Alliance of Discussing Directors in the first place.

Now Yuan Shao is in deep quagmire.

If Yuan Shu is brought down again.

You don't have to worry about alliances anymore.

With such a large volume of writing, a secret letter was written in an instant. Based on Cao Ang's understanding of Dong Zhuo, as long as the old boy didn't doubt himself.

Then he will definitely follow the letter.

And Cao Cao took the letter solemnly and stuffed it into his arms.

Just now he casually said to Cao Ang.

"When we entered the city yesterday, I already sent people to Changyi County. I think it won't take long before we can bring your mother and the others here."

"You should also make preparations as soon as possible, and take care of everything in the mansion, so as not to be in a hurry when things are imminent."

Cao Ang nodded, it should be later.

The father and son sat for a while.

Only then did they leave.

…………

this afternoon.

Cao Ang followed Cao Cao's instructions and ordered the servants in the mansion to start decorating and arranging the mansion.

Although my mother, Mrs. Ding, it will take quite a while to get here from Changyi County.

But for Cao Ang.

His time is still quite tight.

For the big wedding, Zhen Jiang went through the door.

And the messenger he sent to Chang'an responded, bringing the appointment of Yuzhou Mu.

After these two things are all done.

He was about to lead his troops southward immediately, and take Yingchuan County and other places into his pocket as quickly as possible.

After all, when it comes to things like fighting for territory, the most fearful thing is that there will be long nights and dreams. Who knows what changes will happen.

While Cao Ang was thinking quietly.

A maid suddenly ran towards him from the backyard of the mansion.

When it comes to the front.

He even said out of breath: "Young master, Miss Zhaoji is packing her bags and she said she is going to move out of the house, but no matter how hard the servants can persuade her, she can't persuade her."

When Cao Ang heard this, his scalp went numb.

He specially arranged this maid for Cai Yan, no matter how much Cai Yan likes to live alone in a secluded place, there must be a lot of people serving her.

Now since it is this maid who came to report.

That must be something that can't be faked.

Got it!

Some things should come, they will come, and I can't avoid them if I want to.

But Cao Ang has made up his mind at this moment.

No matter what, he would never let Cai Yan go. It was so hard to abduct him back then, but now it is so easy to leave him.

I really want to ask Cai Yan to leave the house.

Then Cao Ang would be at a loss.

Think about it here.

He immediately strode towards the courtyard of the back house.

……

at the same time.

It is located in the small courtyard of Cao Mansion.

Cai Yan is cleaning her guqin.

It is said to pack things, but in fact there is nothing to pack, except for this piano, it is nothing more than some personal clothes.

As for the books I read on weekdays.

In terms of ownership, it belongs to Cao Ang.

Thinking of Cao Ang.

Cai Yan's right hand, which was gently wiping the surface of the piano, suddenly squeezed hard.

The fingertips, joints, etc., have turned white due to too much force.

On the originally calm face.

It was full of resentment at the moment.

Her teeth were as white as pearl shells, and she bit her lower lip tightly. The lips that had never been painted with rouge were even more bloodless at the moment.

Originally living in another courtyard, Cai Yan didn't pay much attention to outside news, but since she developed the habit of dealing with Diao Chan and others.

Also walk around every now and then.

Today in front of the Diao Chan courtyard, I heard several maids discussing how to arrange things.

Cai Yan felt like a bolt from the blue.

why?
Obviously I came first!
……

At the time when Cai Yan was feeling resentful.

In the other courtyard where few people came, suddenly there was a sound of steady footsteps from far to near.

When looking up.

But she found that the person who came was exactly what she had been thinking about just now, and it was also the object of this grudge.

Looking at the tall and straight figure, the extremely familiar face.

Cai Yan was stunned for a moment.

Then with a "shua", he got up and left.

"Master Cao, you came at the wrong time!"

The tone of voice was full of indifference, but Cao Ang could still hear some trembling from the short words, obviously Cai Yan was extremely restless.

"No, I came just in time!"

Say it.

Cao Ang stepped forward immediately.

Then he grabbed the Guqin with one hand, and grabbed Cai Yan's wrist with the other, forcing her to the place where she was sitting before.

Although Cai Yan struggled hard.

But with her slender arms and legs, how could she be able to move even the slightest under Cao Ang's enormous strength.

……

After such a toss.

Cai Yan suddenly felt bitter.

Originally, she was wronged enough to lose such a marriage, but in the end she was bullied again. Thinking about it, she was really wronged.

I wanted to cry for a while.

I just thought about it and felt wrong.

She could only cry secretly, and the teardrops were like pearls with broken strings, dripping down crazily.

But before she could cry a few times.

Suddenly there was a palm on her face, and the warm palm was wiping her cheek back and forth.

"Okay, don't cry, many people in the house are watching me come to you."

"In case your eyes are red and swollen from crying, people who don't know will think that I came here to force you to do something."

Hearing soft words in his ears.

Cai Yan immediately rolled his eyes back at Cao Ang.

After wiping his eyes with his sleeve, he said full of resentment: "Since you already have a noble daughter from the Zhen family, why bother to provoke me?"

"You are going to marry your wife. What does it have to do with you if I pack up and move out of the house?"

Hearing this, Cao Ang's ears were sore.

Why is there such a strong smell of sister Lin?

This is how literary young women are supposed to be.

……

After sorting out the wording in the stomach.

Cao Ang put the piano on the table, and then pulled Cai Yan into his arms forcefully.

Then he said decisively: "I want Zhen's daughter, and you, I want too!"

"Put the packed things back later. I won't allow you to move out of the Cao Mansion. If you really dare to do this, then I'll burn the thousand-juan book collection I brought from Luoyang!"

Cai Yan was startled suddenly.

He didn't care about struggling to get out of Cao Ang's embrace.

Instead, he hammered Cao Ang several times with his pink fist.

"For the matter between us, why are you venting your anger on those books? Putting these books in the mansion is the foundation of your Cao family. Why bother to burn them?"

Cao Ang shrugged.

Put on a nonchalant attitude.

"What's the bottom line? If you dare to move out of the mansion, I don't want the big bottom line. If you say it, you can burn it. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

Of course Cao Ang was trying to scare people.

He predicted that Cai Yan would not dare to gamble.

as predicted.

Cai Yan was not sure about Cao Ang's attitude at all, although Zixiu usually behaved calmly and seldom acted impulsively.

But who knows if there will be a confusion?

In case Cao Ang really set fire to these books.

Then Cai Yan really didn't know what to do.

Not only is she heartbroken, but it will also be difficult to explain to her father Cai Yong in the future.

……

There was silence for a while.

Cai Yan said miserably: "What's the use of keeping me here by force?"

"I stay in your house for no reason. The maids in the house don't even know what my identity is. I think it's probably just a rough envoy who plays the piano and reads for you, Mr. Cao."

Cao Ang raised his hand to stop Cai Yan from speaking.

He let go of his embrace slightly, and then straightened Zhao Ji's head towards him.

Hold Cai Yan's head with both hands.

His eyes stared at the eyes like a pool of autumn water.

Then he said solemnly: "You, Cai Yan, Cai Zhaoji, are also my wife!"

Cai Yan was stunned when he heard this.

There was a bit of sweetness in my heart for no reason.

The originally resentful complexion and the sorrowful knot in his heart eased a little.

However, before she could say anything.

Cao Ang's voice wafted into his ears again.

"Actually, in my mind, you are the best candidate for my wife. If I didn't have such an idea, I wouldn't have said enough to make you give up going to Hedong County and come to Yanzhou with me."

"The reason why things have come to this point is really because the Zhen family is a big family in Jizhou, and our Cao family wants to gain a firm foothold in Jizhou."

"It needs such a force, and it needs to have a close connection with the local clan in Jizhou. That's why I got married with Zhen's parents and daughters."

while talking.

Cao Ang was ashamed in his heart.

In order to appease Cai Yan's heart, she had to tell a few lies as a last resort.

……

And after listening to Cao Ang express his feelings.

Cai Yan's mood obviously improved further.

According to what Cao Ang said, then his marriage to Zhen's daughter was nothing more than a political marriage.

This is a last resort.

He has the most important place in his heart.

The thought of being harsh and resentful has faded a lot, which can be regarded as Cao Ang's familiarity with people's hearts.

"Zixiu, do you really mean what you say?"

The title has changed from Mr. Cao to Zixiu again...

After realizing this detail.

Cao Ang was immediately refreshed.

Hastily patted his chest and said: "Sincerely and sincerely, there is no lie, Zhao Ji, you are in my heart, and your status is definitely equal to that of the wife of the wife!"

"If you don't believe me, in the future when I lead my troops to break through Chang'an and rescue Duke Bo Jie, I will personally seek his consent!"

Speaking of it.

Cao Ang remembered one thing.

He hurriedly said while the iron was hot.

"Do you still remember Mr. Bo Jie, the marriage that was arranged for you earlier, that is, Wei Zhongdao of the Hedong Wei family?"

After seeing Cai Yan nodded.

Cao Ang pursued and stated.

"I've been keeping an eye on the news over there. Not long ago, when I was in Wei County, I only received news that this Wei family member had died of coughing up blood and tuberculosis, and there was no cure for it!"

……

Cao Ang's words are like waves.

Wave after wave hit Cai Yan's heart.

Willing to ask his father Cai Yong for permission, in Cai Yan's view, is the guarantee Cao Ang gave himself, and it is also a promise.

As for the last message.

It made him very emotional.

It's only been a year since I was brought back to Yanzhou by Cao Ang.

But it was such a short time.

Wei Zhongdao had already died of illness.

If Cao Ang didn't obstruct him, he would use words to persuade himself to jump out of the fire pit.

So what is her situation now.

Just thinking about it, Cai Yan felt shuddering.

Think about it here.

Cai Zhaoji woke up suddenly.

If you look back at this moment, you can find that Cao Ang's actions have really benefited her a lot.

The handsome and tall man in front of him not only has kindness to her, but also love and righteousness!
……

Things have come to this point.

Cai Yan no longer mentioned the matter of leaving.

Instead, Mei Mou stared at Cao Ang.

After a long time.

Just now he said in a leisurely tone: "Since that's the case, then Zixiu should come and spend the night with me tonight!"

Cao Ang: "???"

Cao Ang was stunned on the spot.

what's the situation?
This change must have been a bit too sudden!
The first second is about to die, and the next second directly initiates welfare, how can you say it?

Maybe he noticed Cao Ang's shocked and confused eyes.

Cai Yan quietly turned her head aside.

Then he muttered in a low voice: "If I don't do this, I really can't find any reason to force myself to stay and not leave."

"Besides, if you already have a wife in the first wife, what would I look like if I stayed in your house without a name or title? It's better to go one step further."

"Besides, if you ask my father for permission in the future, it's not a done deal. His old man will never agree!"

Sentence-by-sentence analysis.

It looks quite calm.

But actually from Cao Ang's point of view.

Cai Yan's cheeks were flushed at this moment, from the neck all the way up to the earlobe, the whole body was immersed in a blush, like a boiled prawn.

Even look closely at the words.

You can see that Cai Yan's body is still trembling while talking.

Obviously, his heart is not as calm as it appears on the surface.

……

The beauty is very kind.

If you refuse to accept it, you may be disgusted by the sky.

The several reasons Cai Yan listed are all for his own consideration.

It is absolutely impossible for Cao Ang to say that he has no feelings in his heart. He is not a cold-blooded animal.

So affectionate.

Right now it is hard to repay.

But in the future, when Cai Yong is in trouble in Chang'an City, he will do his best to rescue him.

And in the future, it will be replaced by the Han Dynasty, and these women in the backyard of the harem at that time will no longer be limited by the status of wives and concubines.

These thoughts flashed in Cao Ang's mind.

It only took a breath of effort.

Cao Ang pinched Cai Yan's hands and said with great certainty, "I will definitely come tonight!"

……

that night.

In the originally quiet and inaccessible small courtyard, there were constant noises.

First there was a cry of pain.

Then came the cat meowing from time to time.

There are bursts, like scratching at the side of the ear, scratching people's hearts itchy.

Accompanied by the cessation of meowing.

When the night wind blows.

Human voices were faintly heard again.

"Zhaoji, I didn't expect you to look very literary and artistic on weekdays. You are soft and weak, but you are quite strong at critical moments. My husband can hardly hold you!"

"Say... what kind of bastard nonsense are you talking about!"

Fen fist lightly hammered, the bed shook.

After another long time.

Then came a woman's voice.

"Zixiu, you have a good understanding of people, and you have a quick wit. Such talent cannot be wasted. If you want to spend the night in my room, you must first study poetry for an hour with me!"

"what?!!"

A summer evening wind blows.

The branches and leaves in the other courtyard shook for a while.

Everything returned to calm again.

ps. My whole body is in severe pain, my head is about to fall off, and my stomach hurts so much that I go to the toilet five times a day. I feel like I have enteritis.
