Cao Ang was sent away.
Chen Zhou thought about it according to the plan and found out that Gao Shun's trap camp was obtained. Cao Cao's army also included elites such as Tigers and Dragons.
So next, there is still one tiger and leopard rider left.
This was one of the famous cavalry units during the Three Kingdoms period. With saddles and stirrups, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry could become a top-notch cavalry unit during the Three Kingdoms period.
We have almost done enough to help Boss Cao seek development.
However, not long after Cao Ang left, the servants came in to announce that someone else had arrived.
The person who came this time was also a servant, and he brought an invitation to Chen Zhou. It was an invitation from Dong Cheng, the head of the state, inviting Chen Zhou to come to his house for a chat.
"Dong Cheng?"
In fact, Chen Zhou could tell that Dong Cheng was also interested in him and wanted to poach him just like Liu Bei.
However, Liu Bei recently found that poaching was no longer possible and seemed to give up on this idea. Then he looked at Chen Zhou with a trace of hostility.
There is a feeling that if I can’t get it, it will be destroyed.
Chen Zhou didn't care about this, no matter how much Liu Bei was hostile to him.
However, Dong Cheng had people send invitations and assassins, and he still blatantly poached under the nose of Boss Cao, which was a bit obvious. Chen Zhou thought that Liu Bei came to Xudu, and it would not be long before he would be involved in the belt edict incident.
I don’t know if the Clothes and Belt Edict will happen again.
If so, Dong Cheng wouldn't live long.
"Tell the person who sent the invitation that I will visit Dong Guozhang tonight." After thinking about it, Chen Zhou decided to give Dong Cheng some hope.
Let him slowly despair.
The servant went out and told the person who sent the invitation what Chen Zhou said.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Cao Shan finally got up, took Er Qiao's hands with both hands, and came to Chen Zhou.
Mrs. Zou followed behind, her eyebrows full, as if she was still not satisfied.
When Er Qiao saw Chen Zhou, she thought of those words about getting married, her pretty face flushed, and she was so beautiful.
Chen Zhou said: "It's nothing, it's just that Dong Guozhang invited me to catch up on old times, so there shouldn't be any need to prepare my dinner tonight."
"Also, about getting married..."
He looked at Qiao's twins.
Their pretty faces blushed even more, and they looked at Chen Zhou expectantly.
"I'll arrange it."
Cao Shan said very gently and considerately: "Husband, don't worry, you can work outside. Everything at home is with us."
"Thank you Shan'er for your hard work."
Chen Zhou hugged her gently.
Of course, I also hugged the two little wives who had not yet married each other.
Everyone needs to be treated equally.
——
at the same time.
Cao Cao led everyone to go to court in Xudu Palace. He first asked everyone around him for merit. For example, Hou Cheng and others promised to ask for merit, so naturally they would not break their promise.
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were willing to surrender and received credit.
Liu Bei must also be brought to the court to meet Liu Xie.
Liu Xie could only give them rewards according to Cao Cao's ideas, and Cao Cao was satisfied.
However, Liu Xie felt that he was becoming more and more helpless in front of Cao Cao, as if everything had to obey Cao Cao's arrangements and was completely controlled by Cao Cao.
Unlike when he was with Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao did respect him.
Dong Zhuo had no respect and did whatever he wanted, even tarnishing Queen Mother He.
No matter how respectful Cao Cao was, Liu Xie was still unhappy. He wanted to be in charge and get rid of all constraints, but he had not yet realized that he could only be a puppet in this life.
Liu Xie was eager for change and believed in Dong Cheng's words. He followed Dong Cheng's direction and tried to change the status quo.
After all, we are all a family, and Dong Cheng is the head of the country, so he will not lie to himself.
Then he was determined to win Chen Zhou.
After the morning dynasty, Liu Xie left Cao Cao alone.
"Excuse me, Your Highness, do you have anything to tell me?"
When Cao Cao faced Liu Xie, he could indeed show respect.
Throughout his life, he was very contradictory in his treatment of power. He not only forced Liu Xie to proclaim himself king, but was unwilling to proclaim himself emperor when he died.
He also once said that if there were no lonely people in the world, I don’t know how many people would be called emperors and how many would be called kings.
So many people later analyzed that Cao Cao actually regarded himself as a Han official and was unwilling to proclaim himself emperor.
As for whether this is the case, only Cao Cao himself knows.
Various analyzes by later generations are just the results of speculation based on history.
"Cao Qing should know that I have named a clan girl Princess Xiangcheng."
Liu Xie said.
Cao Cao nodded.
But he was also confused. He had no objection to Liu Xie making his sister a princess. If he had, he would have raised objections a long time ago. Now what's the point of using Princess Xiangcheng as an example?
"Your Majesty, please make it clear."
Cao Cao thought about it and said.
Liu Xie said: "It's like this. At the beginning of the year in Xiangcheng, I went out to welcome the spring on my behalf. I happened to meet Chen Duzhi. From then on, I have never forgotten Chen Duzhi. I know that Duzhi is Cao Qing's son-in-law. I already have a wife, but I don’t want to see my imperial sister miss her so much and become thinner.”
After hearing this, Cao Cao finally understood.
It turns out that Liu Xie fell in love with Chen Zhou and wanted to marry his sister.
but……
Cao Cao heard it again, a special meaning.
Could it be that His Majesty took a fancy to Chen Zhou's ability and wanted to win over Chen Zhou by marrying his sister?
This idea is similar to his marrying Cao Shan.
Cao Cao was not worried at all that Chen Zhou would betray him. Based on his understanding of Chen Zhou, he knew that Chen Zhou had long felt that there was no hope for the Han Dynasty and wanted to directly overthrow the Han Dynasty and rebuild the dynasty.
If the emperor does this, he will lose his sister and gain nothing.
"I want to discuss with Cao Qing, can I give way to my wife? My imperial sister will be my wife, and Cao Sikong's daughter will be my wife. Although I have wronged you, but..."
Liu Xie said, observing the changes in Cao Cao's expression again.
Clan daughters of the Han Dynasty could not be concubines, nor could they be common wives.
Liu Ling could only be married as a head wife, which was in line with their clan status, otherwise the royal family would appear to be undervalued.
"No problem at all!"
Cao Cao thought about it and agreed.
In fact, who will be the official wife is a matter of Cao Cao's words. Even if Liu Ling marries her, she will appear to be the official wife, but in fact she will still be the equal wife. He has full confidence in his daughter.
He also knew that Chen Zhou was a womanizer just like him.
No matter they are mature women or those young people, they all like it equally and are not picky.
As the father-in-law, he helped Chen Zhou propose marriage to the Qiao twins, and then sent Princess Xiangcheng to Chen Zhou. There was no problem at all. It was just an exchange of common interests between them.
Cao Cao thought it was feasible and had no objection.
"Cao Qing really understands the truth!"
A smile slowly appeared on Liu Xie's face, and he said happily: "Thank you also to Cao Qing, for agreeing to this unreasonable request of mine. I am ashamed of Cao Qing's daughter. Someone...ask the queen to prepare some jewelry and send it to Chendu To Cao Qing’s daughter at my house.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Cao Cao smiled hypocritically.
He did not refuse rewards and other rewards.
He didn't help Chen Zhou refuse.
"Excuse me, Your Majesty, is there anything else?"
Cao Cao asked.
Liu Xie shook his head and said, "No, Cao Qing has just returned from the expedition. His family must be very concerned about him. Go back and catch up with your family. By the way, help me tell the emperor to come in."
