No one thought that Cao Wei Shangshu ordered Chen Qun to come to Dajing just to sue for peace. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a proposal of marriage. This caught Jia Xu and others off guard. Instead of replying to Chen Qun, they asked for eight hundred Li plus The news was sent to Nanyang urgently and Zhang Xiu came to decide the matter.
Cao Pi not only listened to Guo Jia's last words, but also carried them forward.
They not only need to marry the Chu State, but also the Jing State. With the connection of marriage, when they attack the Wu State, the Jing State will not be able to restrain themselves from behind.
Cao Cao was not only powerful in politics, but also physically strong, lustful by nature, and had many children.
Cao Pi has six younger sisters who are not married yet and are waiting to be married.
After careful consideration, Cao Pi decided to marry his eldest sister Cao Jie to Zhang Xiu. Cao Jie understands righteousness well and is not an extroverted girl. When it comes to toughness, she is stronger than Sun Shangxiang. Compared with literature, she is comparable to Cai Wenji. She is a very well-educated and sensible woman who understands righteousness well.
According to later records, she should have married Liu Xie and became the queen.
Unexpectedly, with Zhang Xiu's time travel, Cao Jie's fate would also change. Although Dajing may not necessarily agree to Cao Wei's marriage request, it is absolutely impossible for her to marry Liu Xie.
Caizhou.
When Zhang Xiu saw the news, he was also greatly surprised. Unexpectedly, Cao Pi had such a means to contact Jingguo. If he agreed, Zhang Xiu's plan would be disrupted.
"What do you think of Shiyuan?" He handed the secret letter in his hand to Pang Shiyuan and asked him after he read it.
Pang Tong: "I wonder what the emperor wants?"
Pang Tong didn't dare to reply.
According to the current strategic layout of Dajing, Cao Wei's request for marriage cannot be agreed to. But who knows what Zhang Xiu was thinking. Maybe the emperor had already fallen in love with Cao Cao's daughter Cao Jie and agreed at once?
Looking at the harem of the current emperor, there are ten empresses alone, which is unprecedented and unprecedented; almost everyone in the world is rumoring that Emperor Zhang Xiu of Dajing is a womanizer.
Perhaps, this is also the reason why Cao Pi wanted to use this strategy.
Who dares to stop what the emperor loves?
Zhang Xiu looked at Pang Tong with a smile and asked, "Shi Yuan thinks that I am a lustful person. Is he also afraid that I will destroy our Dajing country because of a woman?"
Pang Tong was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.
yes! Compared to the power of Dajing and the unification of the world, what does a mere woman mean? Pang Tong only thought of Zhang Xiu's lustful side, but did not realize how ambitious Zhang Xiu was.
How could Dajing's strategic layout be ruined for the sake of women?
Pang Tong hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty: "I didn't think carefully, so I still ask the emperor to punish me!"
Zhang Xiu laughed without any concern and raised his hand to let him stand up: "Although I am the emperor, I am also a human being. What you think is not unreasonable. How can I punish you? Cao Pi wants to use marriage. His methods to restrain my hands and feet are too disrespectful to his sister and my methods."
"Then what does the emperor mean?"
"Didn't Cao Pi want to marry his sister Cao Jie to me? If I have any reason to refuse, just marry her." Zhang Xiu sneered, "I want Cao Pi to lose his wife and lose his troops."
"The emperor means... to marry her first, to pretend to be friends, but to actually do it?"
Zhang Xiu glanced at Pang Tong with admiration: "Shi Yuan is indeed the phoenix of Dajing!" Then he ordered: "Go and reply to Jia Xu and the others, saying that I agree to this marriage, but the prerequisite is that Wei Guo You are not allowed to block the sales of Shangzhenjing Wine in Wei State, otherwise, there will be no need to discuss anything."
Shang Zhenjing wine is Zhang Xiu's next method to seek huge profits, and it must not be blocked in Wei.
"Here!"
Pang Tong ordered to retreat.
…
Chu State, Chu Jing.
When he received the news of the marriage between Wei and Wei, Liu Bei was overjoyed.
Originally, Wei and Chu were in an alliance. With the death of Cao Cao, the relationship between the two countries was further promoted by Cao Pi. Today's marriage is a means to make the alliance between Wei and Chu stronger.
Liu Bei has always been childless, which is a pain point for the entire Chu State.
Both civil servants and generals were eagerly waiting for news about Liu Bei's harem. However, as time passed, there was no news about Liu Bei's harem, and there was no hope for his heirs.
He also heard that Zhang Xiu in the north was having a litter of babies, and Liu Bei was jealous and envious.
Not only Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao, who was a good wife, also had many heirs. Although Sun Ce of the Wu Kingdom did not have many heirs, he did have some descendants. Only he, who was over fifty years old, had no biological heirs.
Now, Liu Bei places his hopes on Cao Hua, who has not yet married.
"emperor!"
Zhang Fei came all the way from the Three Gorges. As soon as he entered the door, he called for Liu Bei in a rough voice. Seeing Liu Bei coming out, Zhang Fei knelt down and said, "My brother, I bow to the emperor!"
With a gentle smile on his face, Liu Bei helped Zhang Fei up: "Third brother, there is no need to pay such a big courtesy. I asked you to come slower, why did you arrive so quickly."
Zhang Fei laughed loudly: "My brother heard that the emperor was going to marry Cao Cao's daughter, so he came here in a hurry. Now his Wei State and our Chu State are hugging each other to keep warm. As soon as Cao Cao left, Cao Wei's strength dropped sharply, and even Our Chu country is no better."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Bei said seriously, "Cao Wei still has strength and cannot be underestimated."
Zhang Fei: "Guo Jia is dead, why are you afraid of them? How many capable generals are there in Wei? Over the years of fighting with Jingguo, Yu Jin, Xu Huang, Xu Chu, Dian Wei, Li Dian, Xia Houyuan and other famous generals have all After dying in battle, does Wei still have any capable generals?"
After Zhang Fei counted this, Liu Bei was suddenly shocked.
Cao Wei has been fighting against Jingguo for so many years, and the losses have been so heavy. Not only did they lose Jizhou and Youzhou, but they also lost so many generals, which shows the terror of Jingguo.
The powerful Cao Wei was far from being a match for Jingguo. How could Chu State fight against it?
It is difficult to say whether the Chu and Wei states can withstand Jingguo if they unite. Coupled with the increasingly powerful Wu state, the situation of Wei and Chu is in danger.
At this moment, bad news came from Guan Yu in Xiangyang.
Cao Pi sent an envoy to Jingguo, hoping to marry Emperor Zhang Xiu of Jingguo and marry Cao Hua's sister Cao Jie to Zhang Xiu.
This made Liu Bei furious.
What was Cao Pi's intention?
If nothing else, Liu Bei is much older than Zhang Xiu. Now, once Cao Jie marries Zhang Xiu, won't he become Zhang Xiu's brother-in-law? They have been dragged down a bit in terms of status.
Zhang Fei was even more furious: "How dare a traitor from the Cao family dare to insult our emperor like this? Your Majesty, please give me thirty thousand elite soldiers. I will go and attack Xudu of Wei State now, capture this traitor, and question him properly." Ask him what his intentions are!"
Liu Bei himself was so angry that he was gnashing his teeth. How could he think of trying to persuade his third brother?
It is true that Cao Pi went too far.
