The most poisonous person in the Three Kingdoms, Boss Cao advised me to calm down!

Chapter 372 Sima De's Intentions
After reading this article, Cao Cao showed a complex emotion of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Why do these two brats hang out with Guo Yi every day?"

"Since you moved to Yecheng, you have been inseparable and as close as brothers?"

Mention the observations on Cao Zhang and Sima De.

Cao Cao, who was busy with many things, may have been a little negligent.

But he knew very well about Guo Yi, the son of his close friend Guo Jia.

Because of Guo Yi's name, everyone in Yecheng knows him.

He was a dissolute man who indulged in sensual pleasures.

Even Cao Cao felt inferior to him.

Although Cao Cao was a good widow and a beautiful woman.

But Guo Yi was a noble widow and a young girl.

Never picky, never let go of anything!
Moreover, he often stayed out all night and lingered in brothels.

But no one knows who the origin of these bad habits is.

But as far as Cao Cao knew, it was all due to sweet words and flattery.

With his good looks, he often seduced the daughters of wealthy families and concubines of the aristocratic families in the court.

This forced Cao Cao to order Xu Chu to hold his handwritten orders many times.

Go to the prison in Yecheng and bail out this dissolute and frivolous man.

Even Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu and other good friends of Guo Jia during his lifetime.

He was often forced to open his purse just to save the only child of his old friend Guo Jia.

Free from imprisonment.

"If my Huang Xuer is so close to him, won't he be a burden to him?"

"Hiss~ If Renda were to learn from that playboy and live a life of debauchery in the future."

"Wouldn't that harm my two daughters?"

At this moment, Cao Cao felt a little worried, but he didn't think about it.

Cao Zhang did not inherit his Jian'an style and heroic character at all.

This child is so honest that he would even give away his wives and concubines to others!

After flipping through the records of Cao Zhang and Guo Yi's friendship, Cao Cao continued reading.

As his eyes moved downward, new information came into view.

"Oh? This guy is not only close to Guo Yi."

"She is actually closely related to Wenyuan's son Zhang Hu?"

Cao Cao saw this and thought to himself:

"Could it be that they are trying to win over Zhang Wenyuan?"

Cao Cao did not show any dissatisfaction with this.

After all, compared to Cao Zhang’s other two brothers.

Just as Cao Pi had the support of a powerful aristocratic family, Cao Zhi was supported by many children from poor families.

However, Cao Zhang only had one counselor and literary assistant, Sima De.

Isn't it possible to develop only towards the military generals group?

This situation where military power is emphasized over culture is exactly the same as the other two forces.

So Cao Cao chose to turn a blind eye to Cao Zhang's little tricks.

In Cao Cao's eyes, this move was harmless.

What's more, this guy probably just wants to make friends with Zhang Liao unilaterally.

Zhang Liao himself has not yet expressed his opinion.

Instead, Cao Cao hoped that Zhang Liao could help Cao Zhang.

In this way, the son can play to his own strengths.

Focus on making achievements on the battlefield, and pay less attention to those intrigues and power struggles.

Only through fair competition can Cao Cao identify these guys.

Which one is the hero who can inherit the throne, and which one is just a dog who waits for the status quo.

In this way, he could cultivate talents who could carry on his legacy.

However, when Cao Cao looked into Cao Zhang's behavior after he became friends with Zhang Hu.

His expression suddenly became brilliant!
"This evil creature doesn't look like a descendant of the Cao family at all!"

"After making friends with Zhang Hu, there is no rush to win over Zhang Liao."

"Instead, he drags that tiger to the residence of Lu Bu's widow every day!"

"And he visited her many times, and was humiliated by Lu Bu's daughter."

"Every time I was beaten black and blue, and fled in disgrace, wasn't that a great shame?"

"Why is this guy so incompetent? He can't even subdue a woman!"

Thinking of this, Cao Cao couldn't help but turn his head and look outside the tent.

I blamed Sima De in my heart.

I don't even know how to pull his yellow beard.

Let this kid do such a stupid thing!
Huang Xuer, the most capable fighter in the Cao family, was actually no match for the daughter of a defeated general?
Wouldn't it be laughable if this matter got out?
Cao Cao, holding the document in his hand, thought of this.

An indescribable puzzlement once again hung over his brows.

"I had already given the two daughters of Liu Bei to Ziwen."

"Why did this kid Renda encourage him to get involved with Lu Bu's daughter?"

Looking back to the battle of Jingzhou a few years ago, Liu Bei was defeated in Xinye and fled south in a hurry.

His wife and daughters were all captured by Cao Zhang.

However, for Cao Cao, it was the most important result of the battle.

It was Liu Bei's descendant Liu Chan who was obtained!

And captured Zhao Yun, who was killing thousands of soldiers in the midst of thousands of troops.

However, Cao Cao did not treat Liu Bei's family members harshly.

Except for the two ladies Gan and Mi.

The eldest daughter Liu Ying and the second daughter Liu Yu.

Cao Cao had no interest at all.

Originally, he was planning to go secretly, and when the two girls came of age, he would do so in the name of a gift.

Betrothed to the generals under his command as wives or concubines.

After all, although they were captives, they were Liu Bei's daughters.

In terms of status, he can barely be considered a descendant of a feudal lord.

But at that time it was Huang Xuer who asked for help.

Cao Cao simply agreed.

After all, he had defeated Yuan Shao in the past and captured his daughter-in-law Zhen.

He also betrothed her to his son Cao Pi.

And look at the various actions taken by Cao Zhang and the other two.

Cao Cao also saw some of Sima De's intentions.

At this moment, an expected expression gradually appeared on his face.

"Hehe, let Ziwen ask me for Liu Bei's daughter."

"It seems that he is just after beauty, but in fact he has a deep intention."

"I'm afraid you want to regain Liu Bei's civil and military power in the future?"

"As for disturbing Lu Bu's widow and only daughter."

"I'm afraid that he will retreat in order to advance, and form an indissoluble bond with Zhang Wenyuan."

"This is a well-intentioned move."

"Even if Ziwen will never get the support of scholars in the future."

"But if we can recover Zhuge Liang, the Sleeping Dragon under Liu Bei."

"It is enough to serve Zihuan and Zijian to keep pace with them."

After receiving so much praise, Cao Cao no longer felt sleepy at all.

He became more and more interested in every arrangement Sima De made to defeat Cao Zhang.

Before we knew it, the night had gradually deepened.

Wait until five o'clock the next morning, before the dawn.

The entire army has quietly stood up and started a fire to cook.

The curling smoke and the silence of dawn interweave into a picture of preparing for war.

When the sun rises in the east, there are thousands of rays of light.

The warriors not only have enough food and clothing, but also have great ambitions and are ready to go.

As long as they waited for the commander-in-chief's order, they would continue their journey southward.

Although Cao Cao seemed a little tired because of his all-night review of Cao Zhang's recent actions.

But when he appeared before the three armies, he was still in high spirits and his majesty was undiminished.

"Let's go! Keep going south!"

At this time, the sound was like thunder, resounding through the sky.

However, in the days that followed the entire army's trek.

However, doubts began to arise in Cao Zhang's heart.

He only felt the look in his father's eyes when he looked at him.

There is a deeper meaning that is difficult to express in words.

It contains both expectations and considerations.

Time flies, and it is the eighth day of November.

After half a month of hard journey, the army finally arrived at the shore of Chaohu Lake.

At this time, the water and sky of Chaohu Lake were one color, the waves were sparkling, and warships were standing in rows, looking magnificent.

Cao Hong led the vanguard troops to get there first.

A standoff had been formed with the Jiangdong navy at the confluence of Chaohu Lake and Rushu River.

The flags of both sides were fluttering, with the words "Cao" and "Sun" embroidered on them respectively.

Flying in the cold wind, like whispers before a war.

Looking out over the lake at this moment, Sun Quan's figure was not visible.

But on the eve of this unprecedented showdown, no matter it was the wily Cao Cao.

Or the civil and military officials under his command.

Everyone understood that this was a battle that would decide the fate of the world.

The torrent of history is about to create tremendous waves.

The battle between heroes and heroes will soon echo through the ages over this body of water.
