After Huang Chengyan came to his senses, he said angrily: "Cao Ang, who is your father-in-law? I, Huang Chengyan, will never recognize this marriage."
Cao Ang sighed: "The uncooked rice has been cooked into cooked rice, and my father-in-law still objects, what should Yueying do? Is it possible that my father-in-law wants to find someone to take over, buy one, get one free?"
Huang Chengyan's cheeks twitched.
Take over?
Buy one get one free?
The hands in his sleeves clenched and unclenched, clenched and unclenched again, and repeated several times before letting out a long sigh of relief.
So angry!
He wanted to punch Cao Ang, but he couldn't win, and his daughter was Cao Ang's, so what else could he do?
I can only admit it!
Although Huang Chengyan was unhappy, considering his daughter's lifelong happiness, he gritted his teeth and ordered: "Lead the way."
A smile flashed across Cao Ang's eyes, and he led Huang Chengyan to the simple Chinese army tent that had just been set up.
After both parties sat down, Cao Ang solemnly said: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will not wrong Yueying, and I will definitely marry her to the right matchmaker."
Huang Chengyan snorted: "Who knows?"
Cao Ang continued: "Considering that my father-in-law has no children, if Yueying and I have children in the future, in addition to the eldest son, if there is another son, I will adopt one to the Huang family and give him the surname Huang."
brush!
Huang Chengyan's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly: "Seriously?"
Cao Ang said firmly: "A gentleman's words are hard to follow, and they are absolutely not false."
The Huang family in Jingzhou is a wealthy family. With the help of the Huang family to leverage the wealthy families in Jingzhou, Cao Ang will have an extra force around him. Looking further ahead, introducing more power will prevent the Yingchuan faction from becoming dominant.
Huang Chengyan doesn't care what Cao Ang has in mind, he only cares about whether his Huang family bloodline can be continued?
With Cao Ang's promise, he was joyful as never before and said with approval: "My dear son-in-law, I have always been very open-minded. I fully support your marriage to Yueying."
He looked at Cao Ang carefully.
Seeing that Cao Angfeng was handsome, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and a heroic figure, the more I looked at him, the more I liked him.
He’s my virtuous son-in-law!
Cao Ang explained: "Due to my relationship with Liu Biao, it is impossible for me to marry Yueying in Xiangyang. I can only bring Xudu back to get married. Yueying is a little embarrassed and needs her father-in-law to comfort Yueying and enlighten her."
Huang Chengyan assured: "Don't worry, dear son-in-law, this matter will be taken care of by me."
The conversation changed and Huang Chengyan asked: "Can't there be a peace and truce between the wise son-in-law and Liu Biao?"
Cao Ang explained: "As long as Liu Biao pays money and food, I will lead the troops to withdraw and release Cai Mao and the prisoners."
Huang Chengyan nodded and said: "This matter will be taken care of by me. I will lobby Liu Biao. After all, he is my brother-in-law."
Cao Ang said gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law."
"It's not hard, it's not hard."
Huang Chengyan looked delighted and urged: "My dear son-in-law, you must hurry up and have children. Try to have two children every three years and three children every five years. The sooner you have children, the better!"
Cao Ang promised: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will take care of it."
Immediately, Cao Ang gave the order.
After a while, Huang Yueying was brought up. When she saw Huang Chengyan, she felt relieved and said loudly: "Dad, Cao Ang is too bullying."
Huang Chengyan blinked when he heard the word bullying.
'Bullying' between men and women is not just a fight in bed, so where does it count as bullying?
This is the fun of young people.
Huang Chengyan said earnestly: "Yueying, I agree to the proposal of my wise son-in-law. You follow the wise son-in-law to Xudu and hold a wedding in Xudu. Follow your father at home and your husband when you get married. When you marry into the Cao family, you must take good care of your husband and raise your children. For The Cao family is blooming."
Huang Yueying's big eyes were blinking with confusion, and her face was full of disbelief.
What happened to my father?
Where is the old father who loved her and said he would take care of her for the rest of his life?
Why has it suddenly changed!
Huang Chengyan noticed Huang Yueying's expression and thought that the good son-in-law had given him too much. Besides, even if Huang Yueying is taken back, Huang Yueying is already Cao Ang's, who would dare to accept her?
Huang Chengyan comforted him: "Yueying, stay close to your virtuous son-in-law. I will prepare a dowry and won't embarrass you."
Huang Yueying was completely confused.
Want to talk but don't know what to say?
Huang Chengyan didn't say much to Huang Yueying, and left directly after comforting him.
Huang Yueying stared at Cao Ang and asked, "Cao Ang, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into my father?"
Cao Ang explained: "After all, I am a daughter of a famous family, and my father is the Sikong of the dynasty. The Cao and Huang families are getting married. How could my father-in-law refuse? Besides, you have been invited to the camp by me. Who dares to go against the Cao family?"
Huang Yueying snorted and said nothing.
Cao Ang didn't say much and arranged for Huang Yueying to be sent down to rest.
While Cao Ang was waiting, the Cai family and the Huang family successively made efforts to arrange people to make noise, and they could not care about Cai Mao's life or death.
Liu Biao's original idea was to shelve the matter for now and think carefully about how to deal with it?
Unexpectedly, the public opinion was so fierce that Liu Biao was unable to come to Taiwan. In desperation, Liu Biao arranged for Kuai Yue, Han Song, Yi Ji, Cai He and others to be invited to the Prefectural Mufu Mansion for discussion.
Huang Chengyan also came uninvited.
Liu Biao looked around at the crowd and said, "Cao Ang retreated to the north of Xiangyang and took control of Cai Mao and some Jingzhou soldiers. We all express our opinions whether it is war or peace."
As a Cai family member, Cai He said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, although Degui was defeated, he made great contributions to the Lord. How can we ignore it? Please enlighten me."
Kuai Yue expressed his position: "I will reconsider this!"
Yi Ji said: "If we start a full-scale war with Cao Cao, although Cao Cao will be in trouble, we will also be in trouble. I suggest that we let Cao Cao go to war with Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and Jingzhou will not intervene in the war."
Everyone expressed their opinions, and they all disagreed with starting a war with Cao Cao.
If Cao Cao wanted to invade Jingzhou, he would naturally fight to the death and not let Cao Cao invade. The problem is that Cao Ang is willing to have a truce, so why not?
Huang Chengyan also expressed his position: "Your Majesty, Cai Mao's status is very special and cannot be ignored."
"First, Cao Ang took the initiative to declare a truce."
"You insist on starting a war because you don't care about Cai Mao's life, you don't care about your subordinates, and you don't care about the life and death of your subordinates."
"Secondly, when I sent you to ride down Jingzhou alone, Cai Mao made great achievements and is a meritorious minister."
"Third, the envoy has married a daughter of the Cai family, and Cai Mao is your relative. If you don't even care about your relatives, who will serve the lord?"
Huang Chengyan solemnly said: "Your Majesty, what Yi Ji said just now is right. Jingzhou is a non-war place, why bother to intervene in the war? Let Cao Cao attack Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and we can just wait and see what happens."
Liu Miao's cheeks twitched.
A group of people were all his, but no one was willing to fight to the death, and they all advised him to sue for peace.
How else to fight?
Liu Biao thought about it and found that this was also the case.
Cao Cao has many enemies. There is no need for him to be an enemy of Cao Cao. Wouldn't it be better to let Cao Cao fight Lu Bu?
Liu Biao thought for a while, looked at Huang Chengyan, and said: "Xian brother, you are highly respected, why don't you go there in person and be my envoy to Cao Ying?"
Huang Chengyan and Liu Biao are relatives.
However, Cao Ang is his son-in-law, and his future grandson will rely on Cao Ang, so he will naturally turn to Cao Ang.
Huang Chengyan encouraged: "If you are sincere in negotiating, why don't you go there in person? You can finalize the negotiations in person, and then take the opportunity to repair the relationship with the Cao family. In the next ten years, there will be no more crises in Jingzhou."
Liu Biao was right after thinking about it carefully.
Cao Cao is surrounded by enemies on all sides, so how can he have time to manage Jingzhou?
Liu Biao was not worried about Cao Ang coming to kill him. After all, he had a large army and it would be difficult for the cavalry to break through after setting up their formation.
Liu Biao was high-spirited and ordered: "Send an order to Wenpin to bring ten thousand elite troops with me and go north with me to talk to Cao Ang."
Huang Chengyan said: "Make you wise!"
Cai He, Yi Ji, Kuai Yue and others all praised Liu Biao for his wisdom.
Although the current Cao Cao is the traitor in troubled times that Xu Shao commented on, he is not the Cao Cao after the Clothes and Belt Edict, and he is not to the point where everyone wants to beat him.
Liu Biao led Wenpin's army northward, but Huang Chengyan did not go. He went home directly to arrange for people to send the news to Cao Ang first, so that Cao Ang could be mentally prepared.
Cao Ang was happy when he got the news about Huang Chengyan.
He is indeed a good father-in-law.
While Cao Ang was waiting, Liu Biao also came with his army not long after.
Liu Biao came to the front of the formation and shouted: "Cao Ang, do you dare to come out for a while?"
Cao Ang rode his horse out of the camp and said with a smile: "Liu Jingzhou has brought his troops. Do you want to fight again?"
Liu Biao did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point: "I'm here for peace talks?"
Cao Ang praised: "It is said that Jingzhou Liu Jingsheng is a courteous and virtuous corporal. He is considerate of his subordinates and loves the people like a son. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation."
A look of pride appeared on Mr. Liu Biao's face.
Does Cao Ang know about his reputation?
Liu Biao thought that he had money and food, and if Cao Ang wanted it, he would give it to him, just like sending him away as a beggar.
Liu Biao put his hands behind his back and asked with confidence, "Cao Ang, what do you want me to do before I let him go?"
Cao Ang said calmly: "My conditions are very simple. Jingzhou will provide 400 million yuan and 10 million shi of food. I will release Cai Mao and all the prisoners."
Liu Biao's expression froze and his eyes widened.
Four hundred million dollars!
Ten million stones of grain!
This is not a simple condition, it is clearly the lion opening his mouth to make him bankrupt.
