Return to the palace.
Liu Ling first went to see his brother Liu Xie and briefly explained what happened today.
After listening to Chen Zhou's remarks about not writing poetry, Liu Xie thought that he finally saw hope. He felt that Chen Zhou was definitely the hope of the Han Dynasty, and he became more and more eager to get his help.
"well said!"
"The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as Chen Duzhi."
"It's a pity that I don't have the chance to go out of the city with you today, otherwise I would applaud him on the spot."
Liu Xie's eyes were blazing and his tone was excited.
It was as if he could see that Chen Zhou was already his.
Liu Ling said softly: "Brother Huang will definitely be able to meet him in the future."
"That's natural!"
Liu Xie smiled slightly, looked at Liu Ling, and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Chen Duzhi, the imperial sister?"
Liu Ling smiled slightly and said: "Chen Duzhi is a very good person. He has ideals and ambitions. He wants to bring peace to the world, but he does not follow the trend. As the emperor brother said, all the officials in the court are not as good as him."
Liu Xie said with satisfaction: "My dear sister, now that you have time, please contact him more. If you think he is fine, I plan to betroth you to him. What do you think?"
"ah……"
Liu Ling exclaimed, not expecting his brother to have such thoughts.
But in this era, there is basically no way to control major marriage matters on your own. You can only follow the arrangements of the people in power in your family. You can only marry whomever they say, and you cannot refuse.
But recalling Chen Zhou's performance today, she thought that Chen Zhou was still very good, handsome, sunny, and gentle.
If you marry Chen Zhou, it will be very good and he will be a good man.
"But he's married."
Liu Ling lowered his head.
The implication is that getting married means having a legal wife.
If she gets married, she can only be an equal wife at the most. It would be very unfair for a Han princess to be the equal wife of a scholar from a poor family.
"Don't worry, my dear sister, I have time. Let's talk to Cao Sikong. Brother Huang will help you make the decision on this matter."
Liu Xie also had this idea when he saw Liu Ling. When they met for the first time today, Liu Ling was impressed by Chen Zhou and thought that it would be easier to make Chen Zhou a family member.
Liu Ling left quickly.
Then Dong Cheng came in and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty. Chen Duzhi is indeed extraordinary. His ambition and intention are to pacify the world. As long as Your Majesty is willing to win over him, there should be no problem."
"good!"
Liu Xielongyan was delighted.
They were all immersed in Chen Zhou's ability.
——
After Cao Ang returned home, he told his father everything about Chen Zhou today.
"Ha ha……"
"Du Zhi deserves to be Du Zhi. He single-handedly ruined the entire feast."
"You Zhengping, you have a really bad mouth."
Cao Cao felt unhappy when he mentioned Mi Heng.
Cao Ang asked: "Father, do we want to kill Ni Heng? This person is rude to you, sir, and you cannot keep him."
In his heart, he regarded Chen Zhou as his teacher, and he selectively ignored his identity as brother-in-law.
If someone dares to be disrespectful to the teacher, as a student, he will be the first to be unhappy.
"That's not necessary."
Cao Cao said calmly: "It's just a person with a bad mouth. It's okay to let him live. But from what you said, Dong Cheng seems to be interested in Duzhi."
Cao Ang recalled the situation at that time and asked, "Father, are you saying that Dong Cheng wants to poach our husband away from us?"
"It looks like it."
"Dong Cheng is very fond of Du Zhi, but I don't know whether this is Dong Cheng's intention or the emperor's intention."
"However, I believe in Watanabe."
"He will definitely not betray me."
Cao Cao's words were quite confident.
Cao Ang originally wanted to explain a few words to Chen Zhou, but after listening to his father's words, there was no need to explain at all, and added: "It's not that easy for them to poach Mr., but it also shows that if we let Mr. make a name for himself, the benefits are not that great. , The big tree attracts the wind!”
"uncertain!"
Cao Cao said: "I think Du Zhi doesn't take them to heart yet. Forget it, trust is enough. By the way, you said Du Zhi transformed farm tools and taught the people outside the city a lot of farming knowledge. Specifically, How is it, tell me quickly."
In ancient times, agriculture was the basis of survival.
Chen Zhou's abilities in all aspects are already so powerful that he is almost omnipotent.
Cao Cao wanted to know what Chen Zhou's agricultural knowledge was like, as his army also needed this.
——
After Xun Ji and Xun Qiao returned home, they also told what happened today.
"Wataru's behavior has offended many people."
Xun You said and smiled: "But it doesn't matter. No matter how many people are offended, it doesn't matter to Du Zhi. He won't even take them to heart."
Xun Yu agreed: "That's right! Qiao'er, when you are free, you can follow the eldest son to visit Du Zhi more often. You can learn a lot from him."
"OK!"
Xun Qiao happened to be very interested in Chen Zhou.
Xun Ji said: "I have long wanted to meet you, sir, and finally I have the chance."
——
Chen Zhou didn't know how others viewed him now.
I don't care about this deliberately.
After returning home, he asked someone to take Xiahou Yue back to Xiahou's house, and then asked someone to prepare dinner.
Eat and drink enough, then change and wash up.
Chen Zhou returned to the bedroom and saw Cao Shan sitting on the couch with her clothes half untied, waiting for him to favor her.
"Husband!"
Cao Shan's voice was soft, with a temptation that Chen Zhou couldn't resist.
Maybe you know the taste by eating the marrow.
Cao Shan wanted it very strongly.
As a result, Chen Zhou was in the bridal chamber almost every night. Fortunately, he had plenty of energy and a strong waist, otherwise he would have been defeated.
After welcoming the spring, a few more days passed.
Cao Ang came to see them, and Cao Cao summoned them to discuss matters.
When I came to the meeting hall, I saw Guo Jia and the others were here.
"According to Duzhi's plan, we will destroy Yuan Shu this year, sow discord between Lu Bu and Liu Bei, and capture Xuzhou."
Cao Cao said loudly: "But before we do this, we still need to clear away the unfavorable factors around us."
When Guo Jia and Chen Zhou were chatting that day, they talked about Wancheng.
After Guo Jia returned, he told Cao Cao.
Wancheng was close to Xu Du, so Liu Biao handed Wancheng over to Zhang Xiu in order to guard against Cao Cao.
Yuan Shu's plan to become emperor is almost in progress, and the war with Liu Biao has ceased.
Now Liu Biao is free.
Cao Cao also felt that Wancheng was a disadvantage to him. If Liu Biao wanted to attack him, he could order Zhang Xiu of Wancheng to raid Xudu. The raid at such a close distance would be hard to guard against.
Therefore, it is necessary to capture Wancheng.
It is also necessary to use Wancheng as a buffer zone with Liu Biao and as a barrier against Jingzhou.
Wancheng must fight.
"The only disadvantage around us is that we occupy Wancheng and help Liu Biao guard Zhang Xiu in the north."
Cao Cao said.
After hearing this, Cao Ang looked at Chen Zhou in surprise.
Dian Wei had the same reaction and looked at Chen Zhou in disbelief.
Chen Zhou had talked about Wancheng a long time ago.
They will be in danger in Wancheng.
Now I really want to go to Wancheng.
The gentleman can predict what will happen in the future so far in advance, which is simply a magical method.
"How do you think Wancheng can be defeated?"
Cao Cao asked this key sentence.
When they were gathered together today, they were asked about how to defeat Wancheng. After all, the last time Guo Jia and Chen Zhou chatted, they had not discussed how to defeat Wancheng.
