Rampage through the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 170
A new week, a new start, two updates every day, in order to celebrate Zhang De's wedding, if you have any recommendations, let me give one by the way!

The headed old man was Chen Gui, the patriarch of the Chen family, and the people sitting under him were from the most powerful families in Xuzhou, and the two on the left and right were Cao Bao and Mi Zhu.

At this time, Chen Gui said: "Everyone, I won't hide it anymore. A few days ago, Wang Xiu, a farmer under Zhang De's command in Qingzhou, came to me and accidentally revealed that Zhang De wanted to take control of Xuzhou. Now the world is in trouble. , Mr. Tao Qian is old, the old man said something bad, Mr. Tao may not be able to last for a few years... I am located in the plains of Xuzhou, there is no danger to defend, um... What are your plans?"

Everyone understood what Chen Gui meant. Tao Qian was getting old, and Zhang De wanted to take control of Xuzhou. Now Chen Gui asked everyone in disguise whether they would continue to support Tao Qian or support Zhang De.

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they couldn't make up their minds. After all, the Chen family was the first in Xuzhou, so it was better for the Chen family to make up their minds about such things.Therefore, including Cao Bao and Mi Zhu, everyone said in unison: "I would like to listen to Chen Gong's teaching!"

Chen Gui nodded, and said with a smile: "My family in Xuzhou is one body, one is damaged and the other is prosperous, and now it is time for everyone to work together. If this is the case, then let me just say it! , but Mr. Tao still has two sons under his knees, both of whom are in their thirties, and you must be familiar with these two sons!"

Everyone nodded. Tao Qian's two sons, Tao Shang and Tao Ying, are both over 30 years old this year, but Tao Qian's two sons are not very capable.The pottery merchant is cowardly by nature, while Tao Ying is a man with great ambitions.

Chen Gui went on to say: "Beihai prefect Zhang De must be known to everyone. Since he took office, this person has occupied Donglai, Ping Zangba, displayed power in the tiger prison, and prayed for rain in Luoyang. Bing entered Linzi, this person is only twenty years old now, but he has achieved such achievements, I am afraid there will be no limit in the future!"

Speaking of this, Chen Gui suddenly changed the subject and continued: "But because of this, once Zhang De comes to my place in Xuzhou, I am afraid that we will all obey him. If Zhang De has a firm foothold in Xuzhou, I'm afraid I won't be as carefree as I am now!"

Everyone started to listen to Chen Gui's words, and thought that Chen Gui was going to support Zhang De, but after hearing it, they all understood that Zhang De was not Tao Qian, Tao Qian was a modest gentleman, since he became governor of Xuzhou, he treated Xuzhou's aristocratic family well. There is no suppression, but there is a lot of support, so Xuzhou is full of powerful people; and if Zhang De occupies Xuzhou, he will probably rely on the powerful in the beginning, but once Zhang De has a firm foothold in Xuzhou, the strength of Xuzhou's powerful will become formidable. But if there is no time, then it is time for Zhang De to weaken the power of Xuzhou's aristocratic family. After all, no one wants to have some forces under his jurisdiction that threaten him.

The people sitting here are all the heads of various families, and their knowledge is naturally extraordinary. At this time, they all understand what Chen Gui means. The most important thing for the family is the continuation of the family. At this time, everyone understands that once Zhang De comes to Xuzhou, he is likely to suppress the family. living space.So at this time Cao Bin got up first and said: "Then what should we do, please tell Chen Gong!"

Chen Gui nodded with a smile, and said, "Everyone, Mr. Pottery Merchant is benevolent and lenient to others. This old man believes that Mr. Pottery Merchant can be the governor of Xuzhou!"

He has a benevolent character and is more lenient than others. To put it bluntly, he has a cowardly character and is easily manipulated by others. For the aristocratic families in Xuzhou, such a person is exactly what they need, so everyone said in unison: "What Chen Gong said is very true, we wait Willing to listen to Chen Gong!"

……

At this time, the Beihai city was decorated with lights and festoons, and the city was filled with joyful atmosphere, because today, Zhang De, the prefect of Beihai, got married!And the bride is Cao Qian.

Speaking of which, there is quite a taste of political marriage.At that time Zhang De rescued Cao Song's family and brought them back to Beihai.Mr. Cao saw that most of his family and guards were injured, and the journey was uneven, especially since he brought a lot of gold and silver treasures, which was very unsafe, so Cao Song also agreed to go back to Beihai with Zhang De.

In this way, the Cao family temporarily stayed in Beihai City, and Zhang De also sent someone to deliver a letter to Cao Cao, hoping that Cao Cao could send troops to pick up Cao Song, so as not to encounter robbers on the road again.

The news of Cao Song's arrival was soon known by Chen Gong.Chen Gong immediately came up with a plan, which was to let Zhang De propose marriage to the Cao family.

Chen Gong didn't do it for Zhang De's sake. Of course, Chen Gong had his own purpose in doing so. If Zhang De sent troops to Xuzhou, he would need a reason, at least a reason that was said in the past in the eyes of the world. The impact on Zhang De's reputation was not small. Originally, Chen Gong was planning to cause some trouble in Xuzhou, but the presence of the Cao family gave Chen Gong a plan.

This time Zhang Kai attacked Cao's family, and Zhang Kai belonged to Tao Qian, not to mention Zhang Kai also mentioned Tao Qian at that time, so no matter what, Tao Qian and Liang Zi of Cao's family were concluded.If Zhang De married Cao Qian, then Zhang De would be the son-in-law of the Cao family. At that time, it would be a good excuse to avenge the Cao family and send troops to Xuzhou. Yanzhou, but according to Chen Gong's vision, Yuan Shao in Hebei is the biggest threat in the future. After all, with the richness of Jizhou, it is very easy to recruit 10,000+ troops. Compared with Qingzhou, Jizhou has much greater war potential.

Therefore, Chen Gong found Zheng Xuan, the most respected person in Beihai City, to propose marriage to the Cao family.

I have to say that Zheng Xuan has a lot of face, but more importantly, Zhang De is also young and promising, so Cao Song agreed.

In fact, in this era, aristocratic families often leave a lot of back roads, the so-called three caves of the cunning rabbit, is the reason.And Cao Song also considered that if the world is in chaos today, if he can marry his daughter to Zhang De, it means that the Cao family will have an extra way out. When necessary, even if their son Cao Cao fails, the Cao family can rely on Zhang De to protect the family.

Moreover, Zhang De is also a rare young talent. In terms of appearance, Zhang Dedi is a handsome man. In terms of leading the army, Zhang De is only 20 years old this year, and he has already laid such a big foundation. Moreover, since Zhang De debuted, Conquering Zhang Mancheng, Ping Beihai, chasing Dong Zhuo, and Ding Qingzhou all undoubtedly showed Zhang De's ability to command troops.In terms of kung fu, Zhang De's palace rescued him, Zhang Mancheng was beheaded in Jizhou, Hua Xiong was shot at Hulao Pass, Lu Bu was fought against, and Cao Bin was saved once by shooting Song Liang with an arrow.And age, also matches with daughter Cao Qian.
