The so-called teacher is famous.
In order to find a justifiable reason for their actions, the Cao family's army went south into Yuzhou and forcefully took over control of several counties.
This requires some explanation.
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, had arrived as promised.
After the father and son screened away the rest of the crowd, they closed the door and started discussing immediately.
"Uh-huh!"
Spreading a simple map of Yuzhou in front of him, Cao Cao first pointed to several counties adjacent to Yanzhou, and then analyzed Cao Ang.
"I thought about it last night. Now that we want to go south to intervene in Yuzhou's affairs, the nominal flags we are raising are nothing more than two directions."
"The first is that Yuzhou is deeply troubled by bandits. The officials and people in the counties and counties in the state are suffering terribly. Chen Wang Liu Chong and Chen Guoguo Prime Minister Luo Jun have asked us for help."
"Our Cao family adheres to the policy of good neighborliness and friendship, and as we are all loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty, we should help each other. Even if we are busy, we have also mobilized some of the few troops in Yanzhou to help Chen Guoqing suppress the enemy. Banditry."
This idea is actually exactly the same as the layout that Cao Ang made in Qingzhou one day when Kong Rong asks the Cao family for help.
It's just the rhetoric in Cao Cao's words.
It actually made Cao Ang laugh.
This dad has mastered the diplomatic rhetoric now.
What a busy schedule, what a small number of troops, these are all 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 and use all their chips to win such a fertile land in one wave.
Not only will the next strategic focus be on the south, but once the adjustment is made, tens of thousands of troops will be mobilized.
…
After a chuckle.
Cao Ang pointed to several counties around Chen State, and then said with some concern.
"It's not difficult to ask His Highness Prince Chen to cooperate with us. There happens to be a small group of yellow scarf thieves raging in Yuzhou. It is justifiable for us to go south to suppress the bandits under the banner of the banner."
"It's just that Yingchuan County and Liang State have never had any friendship with our Cao family. Moreover, these people's positions are swinging. It may not be easy to get them to cooperate."
Cao Cao said "Yeah".
He nodded slightly to show his agreement.
While pointing at the seal of the East Commandery Governor that Cao Ang placed on the table.
"If this road doesn't work, then take the second road. My father will be the shepherd of Yanzhou, and one of our Cao family members will be the governor of Yuzhou."
"At that time, in the name of the governor of Yuzhou, we took over the counties and states in an open and honest manner."
This way of expressing yourself.
When the prestige of the imperial court was greatly reduced and the world was in chaos, it was used particularly frequently.
Although there is nothing orthodox about it.
But the picture is just a name.
Whether you admit it or not, I say I am the governor of Yuzhou, and I am.
You said that you are also the governor of Yuzhou, so let's see the real seal under our hands, bring our soldiers and horses, and make gestures. Whoever has the bigger fist will be the real governor of Yuzhou.
…
Cao Ang thought for a moment.
Cao Cao was asked about many details.
"Father, as far as I know, Yuan Shu has already recommended Sun Jian to be the governor of Yuzhou, right?"
Cao Cao nodded again to show his affirmation.
He smiled before saying anything.
"After the alliance against Dong was disbanded, the original governor of Yuzhou, Kong Min and Kong Gongxu, died of illness not long after, and this position has been vacant."
"Yuan Shu was the first to take action. He first proposed Sun Jian as the governor of Yuzhou, but there was another person who was not far behind, and that was Yuan Shao and Yuan Benchu."
"He also declared that Zhou Ang under his command was the governor of Yuzhou."
"However, the two of them are surprisingly consistent. That is, the governors of Yuzhou reported by each are not in Yuzhou, and they are all nominally remote."
Cao Ang suddenly understood.
Yuan Shu did this just to improve Sun Jian's position, but his strategic focus was Nanyang, so Sun Jian stayed in Nanyang County to help him.
And Yuan Shao has his only purpose.
Just disgusting Yuan Shu.
After all, the emergence of two governors in one state greatly weakened its legitimacy.
If there are more and more governors.
In the minds of county officials, the governor may not be much better than the county magistrate.
…
There are currently two options.
Obviously, the latter is more superior.
However, after Cao Ang pondered for a while, he came up with a new idea.
"Father, how about this? You declare me as the governor of Yuzhou first, but we keep it secret for now."
"I will write a letter later and send someone all the way to Chang'an. Using Dong Zhuo's hand, I will be directly appointed as the shepherd of Yuzhou."
"In this way, not only did he completely surpass the governors appointed by the Yuan brothers, but he also had the documents from the imperial court and the seal of the emperor. In terms of legitimacy, he has surpassed all the people who were mentioned."
Suddenly I heard this.
Cao Cao was suddenly shocked.
He really forgot about Dong Zhuo.
Now that I think about it, it is quite feasible.
Others don't know, but he knows very well that he, the shepherd of Yanzhou, and his son Cao Ang, the prefect of Dongjun, all got it from Dong Zhuo.
This old boy is far away in Chang'an.
Although spies have been deployed in the Kanto region, they do not know the inside story of many things.
However, his son Cao Ang had already won his trust and played with this Dong thief to applause.
As can be expected.
If Cao Ang writes a letter, he will show his greatness in the letter and make Dong Zhuo mistakenly think that he has to give the official position of Yuzhou Mu at present, but Cao Ang still yearns for him.
Presumably the thief will do as he is told.
…
Think about this.
Cao Cao immediately lowered his voice, and then whispered to Cao Ang: "I think this will work!"
"It's just that you are secretly connected with Thief Dong and can obtain benefits from him through deception and exploitation. The others don't know."
"And if word of this gets out, it will have a very bad impact."
"So after you write the letter, give it to me. I have people who are absolutely trustworthy. They will keep it secret no matter what."
"At that time, people in the world only thought of Dong as a traitor. They wanted to use this method to disturb the water in the Guandong region and provoke a fight between us and the Yuan brothers, but they would not think otherwise."
After experiencing many things.
Cao Cao has now completely changed.
Using the money, food, and official position given by the enemy to deal with him in turn, what else can be more satisfying than this?
If Dong Zhuo had not appointed him the position of Yanzhou Shepherd under the guise of the emperor, how could the Cao family have its current status? How could Cao Mengde gather tens of thousands of troops and chat and laugh with Er Yuan and others.
So for continuing to use this trick.
Cao Cao didn't have any psychological burden.
He even thought that in the future, after his father and son led troops to attack Chang'an and captured Dong Zhuo alive, he would definitely point his finger at Dong Zhuo's nose and laugh in his face for two and a half years.
…
And after confirming this matter.
Cao Cao watched Cao Ang take out the brocade silk, and then wrote a lot 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 troops Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zai lost to each other under his own plan.
And the next step is to deal with Yuan Shu.
It was also to completely cut off the roots of the alliance against Dong.
After all, the two brothers of the Yuan family were the backbone of the establishment of the Alliance to Defeat Dong.
Now Yuan Shao is in deep quagmire.
If Yuan Shu is defeated again.
You no longer have to worry about the alliance.
With such a large amount of writing, a secret letter was written in an instant. With Cao Ang's understanding of Dong Zhuo, as long as the old boy did not doubt himself.
Then he will definitely do what the letter says.
Cao Cao took the letter solemnly and stuffed it into his arms.
Just now he said casually to Cao Ang.
"When we entered the city yesterday, I had already sent people to Changyi County. I think it won't take long to pick up your mother and the others."
"You should also make preparations as soon as possible. Take care of everything in the house, so as not to be in a hurry when things happen."
Cao Ang nodded.
The father and son sat for a while longer.
They just left.
…………
That afternoon.
Cao Ang followed Cao Cao's instructions and ordered the servants in the mansion to start decorating and decorating the mansion.
Even though my mother, Mrs. Ding, would have to take a long time to get here from Changyi County.
But for Cao Ang.
His time is still quite tight.
Zhen Jiang came to the wedding.
And the messenger he sent to Chang'an responded and brought the appointment of Yuzhou Mu.
After these two things are done.
He was about to lead his troops south immediately and capture Yingchuan County and other places as quickly as possible.
After all, the most feared thing about fighting for territory is the 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 you.
He even said breathlessly: "Sir, Miss Zhaoji is packing her bags and wants to move out of the house. No matter how hard I try to persuade her, I can't persuade her."
When Cao Ang heard this, his scalp suddenly went numb.
This maid was specially arranged by him for Cai Yan. No matter how much Cai Yan liked to be secluded and live alone, there would definitely be people to serve her.
Now it is this maid who has come to report.
Then it must be true.
Come on!
Some things are going to come, and you can't avoid them even if you want to.
But Cao Ang has made up his mind now.
He would never let Cai Yan leave under any circumstances. It took a lot of effort to abduct him, but how could it be so easy to leave him now?
I really want Cai Yan to leave the house.
Then Cao Ang will lose pure blood.
Think about this.
He immediately strode towards the courtyard of the back house.
…
at the same time.
Located in the small courtyard of Cao Mansion.
Cai Yan is wiping her guqin.
It was said that there was nothing to pack, but in fact there was nothing to pack. Apart from this piano, it was nothing more than some personal clothes.
As for the books I read on weekdays.
In terms of ownership, it belongs to Cao Ang.
When I think of Cao Ang.
Cai Yan's right hand, which was originally gently wiping the surface of the piano, suddenly squeezed it tightly.
The fingers, joints, etc. are now white due to excessive force.
On the originally calm face.
It was full of resentment at this moment.
Her teeth, as white and as smooth as pearls, bit her lower lip tightly. Her lips, which had never been rouged, were even more bloodless at the moment.
Originally living in seclusion 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.
I also walk around every now and then.
Today, in front of the Diao Chan Courtyard, I heard several maids discussing how to arrange the arrangements.
Cai Yan felt like a bolt from the blue.
Why?
It was obviously me who came first!
…
At the time when Cai Yan was filled with resentment.
In the other courtyard, where few people came, suddenly there was a steady sound of footsteps from far to near.
When you look up.
But she found that the person who came was the one she had been thinking about just now, and the person she was pining for her resentment.
Looking at the tall and straight figure, the face is extremely familiar.
Cai Yan was stunned for a moment.
Then with a "swish" sound, he stood up and left.
"Mr. Cao, you came at the wrong time!"
The tone was full of indifference, but Cao Ang could still hear a bit of trembling from these short words. It was obvious that Cai Yan was extremely uneasy in his heart.
"No, I came just in time!"
Say it.
Cao Ang immediately stepped forward quickly.
Then he grabbed the guqin with one hand and grabbed Cai Yan's wrist with the other hand, forcing her to the place where she was sitting before.
Although Cai Yan struggled hard.
But with her thin arms and legs, she couldn't move at all under Cao Ang's huge strength.
…
After so much trouble.
Cai Yan suddenly felt bitter.
She was already aggrieved enough to lose such a marriage, but in the end she had to be bullied, which was extremely aggrieved just thinking about it.
I wanted to cry for a while.
Just thinking about it, I feel it is inappropriate.
I could only cry secretly, the tears falling down like a broken pearl like crazy.
But not before she cried a few times.
Suddenly there was a hand 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."
"If your eyes are red and swollen from crying, people who don't know may think that I came here to force you to do something."
Hearing gentle words in his ears.
Cai Yan immediately rolled his eyes at Cao Ang.
After wiping his eyes with his sleeve, he said with resentment: "Since you already have a noble daughter of the Zhen family, why bother to provoke me?"
"You are going to marry your wife. If I pack up and move out of the house, what does it have to do with you?"
Cao Ang's ears hurt when he heard these words.
Why does it smell like Sister Lin so strongly?
I think this is what literary young women are like.
…
After sorting out the words in my mind.
Cao Ang put the piano on the table, and then took Cai Yan into his arms forcefully.
Then he said in a decisive tone: "I want the daughter of the Zhen family, and I want you too!"
"Put the packed things back later. I won't allow you to move out of Cao's Mansion. If you really dare to do this, then I will burn all the thousands of books I brought from Luoyang!"
Cai Yan was immediately horrified.
He didn't care to struggle out of Cao Ang's arms.
Instead, he hammered Cao Ang several times with his pink fist.
"Why are you venting your anger on those books about the matter between us? These books placed in the house are the foundation of your Cao family. Why bother to burn them?"
Cao Ang shrugged.
Pretend to be indifferent.
"If you dare to move out of the house, if you dare to move out of the house, I won't even have a huge amount of foundation. I'll burn it if you tell me. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try!"
Of course Cao Ang was trying to scare people.
He expected that Cai Yan would not dare to gamble.
as expected.
Cai Yan was not sure about Cao Ang's attitude at all, although Zixiu usually behaved calmly and calmly, rarely doing anything impulsive.
But who knows if I will make a mistake?
What if Cao Ang really sets fire to these books?
Then Cai Yan really didn't know what to do.
Not only was she heartbroken, but it would also be difficult for her to explain herself in front of her father Cai Yong in the future.
…
There was silence for a while.
Cai Yancai said miserably: "What's the use of forcing me to stay here?"
"I stay in your house for no reason. The maids in the house don't even know who I am. I guess I'm just a rough messenger who plays the piano and reads for you, Mr. Cao."
Cao Ang raised his hand to stop Cai Yan's words.
He loosened his embrace slightly, and then straightened Zhaoji's head towards him.
Holding Cai Yan's head with both hands.
He stared into his eyes like a stream of autumn water.
Then he said solemnly: "You, Cai Yan, and Cai Zhaoji are also my wives!"
Cai Yan was stunned when he heard this.
A bit of sweetness arose in my heart for no reason.
The originally resentful look on his face and the worry-filled heart had softened slightly.
But before she could say anything.
Cao Ang's voice floated in my ears again.
"Actually, in my mind, you are the best candidate for my wife. If I didn't have this idea, I wouldn't have said all the words to ask you to give up going to Hedong County and come to Yanzhou with me."
"The reason why things have evolved to this point is because the Zhen family is a big family in Jizhou, and our Cao family wants to gain a foothold in Jizhou."
"It takes such a force and a close connection with the local clans in Jizhou, so there is a marriage between me and Zhen's daughter."
While talking.
Cao Ang felt ashamed in his heart.
In order to appease Cai Yan's heart, he had no choice but to tell a few lies.
…
And after listening to Cao Ang express his feelings.
Cai Yan's mood improved significantly.
If we follow what Cao Ang said, then his marriage to the daughter of the Zhen family is just a political marriage.
This is a last resort.
Only he has the most important position in his heart.
The thoughts of harsh criticism and resentment suddenly faded away a lot. This can be regarded as Cao Ang's familiarity with people's hearts.
"Zixiu, do you really mean what you said?"
The title changed from Mr. Cao to Zi Xiu again...
After noticing this detail.
Cao Ang immediately became energetic.
He hurriedly patted his chest and said: "Sincerely and without any lies, Zhaoji, your status in my heart is definitely equal to that of the royal wife!"
"If you don't believe it, when I lead my troops to break through Chang'an and rescue Duke Bo, I will personally ask for his permission!"
Speaking of which.
Cao Ang remembered something.
He hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said.
"Do you still remember the marriage that Mr. Boji arranged for you before, that is, Wei Zhongdao of the Wei family in Hedong?"
After seeing Cai Yan nodding.
Cao Ang chased and stated.
"I've been keeping an eye on the news over there. When I was in Wei County not long ago, I received news that this descendant of the Wei family had died due to hemoptysis and consumptive disease, and there was no cure for it!"
…
Cao Ang's words were like waves.
Wave after wave hit Cai Yan's heart.
Being willing to ask for permission from his father Cai Yong, in Cai Yan's view, it was the guarantee given to him by Cao Ang, and it was also a promise.
As for the last news.
It made him deeply moved.
It had only been more than a year since I was taken back to Yanzhou by Cao Ang, and I had a full battle.
However, it is such a short time.
Wei Zhongdao had already died of illness.
If Cao Ang hadn't stopped him, he would have used words to persuade him to jump out of the pit of fire.
So what is her situation now?
Cai Yan shuddered just thinking about it.
Think about this.
Cai Zhaoji suddenly woke up.
Looking back at this moment, she can see that what Cao Ang did was of great benefit to her.
The handsome and tall man in front of her was not only kind to her, but also affectionate and righteous!
…
Things have come to this point.
Cai Yan no longer mentioned leaving.
Instead, her beautiful eyes stared at Cao Ang.
After a long time.
Just now he said in a leisurely tone: "In that case, then Zixiu come to my place to spend the night tonight!"
Cao Ang: "???"
Cao Ang was stunned on the spot.
what's the situation?
This change is a bit too sudden!
One second it was life-and-death, and the next second it directly initiated welfare. How do you say this?
Perhaps he noticed Cao Ang's eyes full of shock and confusion.
Cai Yan quietly turned his head to the side.
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, what will it look like if I stay in your house without a name or status? 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. He will definitely not agree!"
Line by line analysis.
Looks quite calm.
But actually from Cao Ang's perspective.
Cai Yan's cheeks were now red, rising from his neck to his earlobes, and his whole body was covered in a blush, like a cooked prawn.
Even if you look closely.
You can see that Cai Yan's body is still shaking while talking.
Obviously, he is not as calm in his heart as he appears on the surface.
…
Beauty is kind and generous.
If you refuse, you may be disgusted by heaven.
Cai Yan listed several reasons, all of which were 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.
It's hard to repay it now.
But in the future, when Cai Yong was in trouble in Chang'an City, he would try his best to save him.
And if the Han Dynasty takes over in the future, these women in the harem backyard will no longer have to be limited to the status of wives and concubines.
These thoughts flashed through Cao Ang's mind.
It only took one breath of effort.
Cao Ang squeezed Cai Yan's hands and said with absolute certainty: "I will definitely come tonight!"
…
That night.
The small courtyard, which was originally deep, secluded and inaccessible to people, kept hearing noises.
First there was a cry of pain.
Then I heard cats meowing from time to time.
The waves are like scratching in the ears, making the person feel itchy.
With the cessation of the cat's meowing.
As the night wind blows.
The sound of human voices was faintly heard again.
"Zhao Ji, I didn't expect that you usually look very artistic, soft and weak, but you are quite strong at critical moments, and my husband almost can't hold you!"
"What are you talking about... what nonsense are you talking about!"
The pink fist lightly hammered, and the bed shook.
After a while again.
Only then did a woman's voice come out.
"Zixiu, you have a good understanding of people and a sharp literary mind. This talent cannot be wasted. From now on, if you want to spend the night in my room, you must first study poetry with me for an hour!"
"ah?!!"
A summer evening breeze blew.
The branches and leaves in the courtyard swayed.
Everything returned to calm again.
