——————————————————————————
Cao Peng was very aware of Cai Yan's affairs.
It's just that the thing happened too suddenly, and he hasn't figured out how to explain it to Huang Yueying and the others.
Although Cai Yan said that Cao Peng was not responsible.
But how could Cao Peng, who was a chauvinist at heart, let Cai Yan live alone like this all his life? Is it possible for her to get married? Cao Peng couldn't accept it even more. It is estimated that Cai Yan told him that he wanted to get married, and he dared to do so.
Carrying the sword, he ran to kill the man. There was no way, Cao Peng was a very possessive man at heart. His two life experiences gave him a strong sense of care for his family and women.
Unexpectedly, Huang Yueying's intuition is so sharp.
It only took a day for me to feel that something was wrong with Cai Yan.
"Afu, it's been six years since Sister Cai came back from outside the Great Wall... She said she refused to marry for the sake of her children before. But now, her children are older, and Ameiguai is already thirteen, so it's time to find her a wife.
To avoid loneliness in this life... If you have a suitable candidate, I would like to introduce it to Sister Cai."
"No!"
Cao Peng answered very readily.
He hesitated for a moment and said: "Don't worry about this matter. Sister Cai is not a child, she must have her own plans. If we get involved, wouldn't we be criticized if we entrust someone to someone else?
Well, let's just say... I'm really tired today, so I'm going to rest first."
After saying that, Cao Peng turned around and went straight to the bed, fell down and fell asleep.
But he didn't realize that there was a complex look in Huang Yueying's eyes as she looked at him and sighed softly.
Cao Peng is a very possessive person!
But at the same time, he is a person who is very bad at expressing his emotions.
What was Cai Yan like two days ago? What's the situation like today? There is a big difference between a woman who is satisfied with the joy of life and sex, and a woman who has been abstinent for a long time and lives an ascetic life. Huang Yueying is also a woman and she is smart.
, how could it not be possible to see the changes in this?
There are not many men in Xinwutinghou Mansion.
Cai Yan will definitely not go to those boys, so he can eliminate most of them.
Huang Zhong?
Anyone in their fifties or sixties can be Cai Yan's father.
Pound? Unlikely.
The remaining Fazheng, Zhang Song, Jiang Wan, and Cai Yan had almost no contact with them, so how could they be related?
Unless Cai Yan is a slut who can do anything she wants!
But the question is, is she?
After excluding these people, there was only one man left in the huge Xinwu Tinghou Mansion, and that was Cao Peng.
Cai Yan was rescued by Cao Peng from the northern part of the Great Wall, and he accepted Cai Di, also known as Adi, as his disciple, and now he is studying at Fuxishan Academy. Of course, if we can conclude based on this alone that Cao Peng and Cai Yan are related? It is unlikely.
!Cai Yan has not just come into contact with Huang Yueying. The feeling she gave Huang Yueying before was more or less the feeling of a deeply resentful woman. It can be said that before today, Cai Yan had never had contact with a man.
But just one day...
It happened that yesterday, Cao Peng was at home, and Cai Yan was also at home.
Huang Yueying and others accompanied the old lady out of the city and went to a pagoda temple outside Xudu City to burn incense.
Since Cao Peng will be executed today, the old lady will go to the temple to pray for Cao Peng.
It happened that after this day, Cai Yan changed. The culprit was also very clear.
In her heart, Huang Yueying does not reject Cai Yan.
I remember that Cao Peng furiously killed Wei Duan in Longxi, which aroused the anger of the Guanzhong clan.
If Cai Yan hadn't visited the Huangfu family, the Hedong Wei family and other families, which made the Guanzhong family finally give up revenge on Cao Peng, Cao Peng might still be punished now, and it might even be more serious.
Huang Yueying is a talented woman!
Cai Yan is also a talented woman who is rare to see in a century.
The two often chatted together, talking about classics and poetry. Huang Yueying admired Cai Yan's erudition and talents. Huang Yueying sympathized with her bumpy life and bumpy fate.
Therefore, Huang Yueying did not object to Cai Yan entering the Cao family.
She is even willing to let Cai Yan be the head wife and take care of the family affairs. The reason is very simple... Huang Yueying is a woman who is obsessed with learning and is impatient with trivial matters at home; what about Xia Houzhen? She has the temperament of a little girl, too naive, even for *
**, as a mother, I am still very simple at heart.
If such a person manages family affairs, the Cao Mansion will fall into chaos.
Therefore, Xiahou Zhen is not suitable either!
As for Bu Luan and Zhen Mi, both of them are virtuous women, but they lack some means and scheming.
Guo Huan is a suitable candidate, but her status is not enough to convince the public, let alone take on important responsibilities.
If you let a concubine take charge of your family, wouldn't you be laughed at if you tell it?
Therefore, the Cao Mansion is still headed by the old lady, assisted by Madam Hong. However, as the old lady and Madam Hong get older, the size of the Cao Mansion continues to expand. From a small family in the beginning, to the current Marquis of Xin Wu Ting
I don’t know how many times the scale of the government has expanded, not to mention the related industries outside.
The Cao Mansion has a private farm of nearly two thousand acres in Xuzhou, which was rewarded by Cao Cao when Cao Peng gave up control of Xuzhou; outside the city of Xudu, there is also a farm of one thousand acres. The farmland in Xingyang is similar to that of Xudu.
In Nanyang County and Zhongyang Town, Cao Peng occupied a small half of Zhongyang Mountain, covering an area of more than 6,000 acres. Not to mention, in Hexi, Wuwei, Rile, Xiutuze and other places, Cao Peng's farmland amounted to 10,000 hectares.
Some of these lands were Cao Peng's private properties, and some were rewards from Cao Cao.
In addition, Fu Zhi Lou, Xu Du Shabu Shabu...
When all the other industries are added up, the Cao Mansion's family property is definitely an astonishing figure.
Of course it won't work if there's no one who understands how to take care of such a huge industry.
Originally, Cao Nan was quite suitable.
But she has been following Deng Ji away all year round. There is also a three-house pavilion in Xudu City, and she has no energy to take care of Cao's property. Huang Yueying also rushed to the sedan chair and occasionally helped the old lady with housework. But in her heart,
Huang Yueying prefers learning, and making some inventions and creations is her interest.
If Cai Yan enters the Cao Mansion, with her knowledge, her reputation, and her methods, she will definitely be able to keep the Cao Mansion in order. Huang Yueying can feel that Cai Yan likes Cao Peng; and what about Cao Peng?
, I also have a little bit of affection for Cai Yan. But neither of these two boring gourds is willing to speak.
I planned to take this opportunity to stimulate Cao Peng and let him express his feelings, but I didn't know that this bad guy...
Huang Yueying felt sad, but she still felt that Cai Yan was a suitable candidate.
Seeing Cao Peng lying on the couch, after a while, Huang Yueying smiled bitterly: It seems that I still have to worry about this matter for you. Ah Fu, Ah Fu, when will you become more proactive?
If you think about it carefully, Cao Peng is really not proactive enough.
Whether it is Huang Yueying or Xia Houzhen, there is more or less the attitude of women chasing men.
Especially Huang Yueying, for Cao Peng, even turned against her family. Although they reconciled later, she was still the one who took the initiative. The same happened to Bu Luan, Guo Huan and Zhen Mi. Cao Peng, from the beginning, seemed
They really didn’t take any initiative, they all came up to them on their own...
This guy is really...
Huang Yueying sighed, stepped forward and covered Cao Peng with a quilt.
Today, he is indeed tired!
At noon, he killed more than 2,000 people. In the evening, he went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but he didn't know what kind of stimulation he received.
Sitting on the edge of the couch, Huang Yueying gently touched Cao Peng's thin cheek. After a while, she said to herself: "Ah Fu, since you are unwilling to take the initiative, let me find a way to make you take the initiative.
.”
After blowing out the oil lamp, Huang Yueying quietly walked out of the room.
Along the winding corridor, we arrived at the old lady's residence.
"Auntie has gone to bed?"
"The old lady is a little confused today and hasn't rested yet."
Huang Yueying nodded and waved for the maid to retreat. Then she came to the door of the old lady's room and knocked on the door.
"Who!"
In the house, the tired voice of the old lady came.
"Auntie, it's me."
"Yueying...it's so late and you haven't gone to bed yet?"
"Agu, I have something I want to discuss with Agu...well, it's about Ah Fu."
There was silence in the room for a moment, and then the door opened. Mrs. Hong stood at the door and said with a smile: "Madam, the old lady is a little excited today. You came just in time. Let's talk to the old lady together."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the thirteenth year of Jian'an, autumn began.
War broke out again in Jingnan, and Cao Cao launched a fierce attack on Changsha County in Wuling.
Different from previous battles, this time Cao Cao was fighting for real. He divided his troops into three groups, with Le Jin as the commander and Wen hired Wang Wei as the vanguard to lead his troops to attack Chongxian County. He ordered Zhang He and Xu Huang to send troops from Xiajun to attack Luo County.
county.
At the same time, Cao Cao personally supervised the formation, with Xu Chu as the vanguard and Wei Yan as the flanks, and attacked Yiyang.
The 120,000-strong army launched an attack at the same time, causing the situation in Jingnan to suddenly become extremely tense. Liu Bei was stationed in Linxiang and ordered Zhuge Liang to use the Boluo River as a line of defense to stop Zhang He and Xu Huang; then he ordered Zhang Fei and Ma Liang to station in Yiyang to fight with Cao Cao
Zhouxuan. Chongxian County is a little far away from Changsha County. Liu Bei paid a lot of money and asked Feitouman to send troops to help. With the help of the local terrain, he struggled with Cao Jun. For a time, Jingnan was full of wars, and the fighting was very exciting.
Zhang Fei and Xu Chu fought Bai Yuhe at the gate of Yiyang City, but they couldn't win.
At this time, Ma Liang came up with a plan and detached a force, commanded by Lu Ji, who was Lu Bu's adopted son Tartar Ji. They bypassed Xuefeng Mountain overnight and appeared behind Cao's army. Xu Chu was caught off guard and returned in defeat.
Brother Xu Ding died in battle at the foot of Xuefeng Mountain, suffering heavy losses.
Xu Chu was seriously injured. If Dian Man and Xu Yi had not fought to the death to protect him, and if Wei Yan had arrived in time, he might have died in the battle at Yiyang City.
This battle made Cao Cao furious.
He regrouped his troops in Yuannan, with an army of 60,000, and launched another attack on Yiyang.
However, Yiyang was not easy to fight at this time. Ma Liang came up with a plan and set up a small village in Xuefeng Mountain to echo Yiyang. Zhang Fei was stationed in Yiyang and Lu Ji was guarding Xuefeng Mountain, harassing Cao Cao's rear army and causing great trouble to Cao Cao.
Although there are not many enemies in Xuefeng Mountain, they appear and disappear.
Cao's army was not good at fighting in the mountains, and they conducted several encirclement and suppression campaigns without success.
At this moment, Guo Jia came up with a plan!
The Wuxi Barbarians were asked to send troops to help. Wei Yan was in command and was responsible for clearing out the enemies in Xuefeng Mountain. As for Cao Cao, he concentrated on attacking Yiyang. If you are familiar with the terrain and good at fighting in the mountains, who can compare with the Mountain Barbarians?
At first, Cao Cao wanted to establish his prestige, so he did not order the mountain barbarians to send troops.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu both advised: "Prime Minister, it is a good time to order the Wuxi barbarians to send troops at this time. The prime minister is sympathetic to the mountain barbarians and does not want to send them to fight. It is out of good intentions. But for the mountain barbarians, they will think that the prime minister is not willing to send troops."
Treating them as one's own will inevitably lead to resentment. This time to order them to send troops is the time when the Prime Minister is trying to win over the mountain barbarians and make them surrender. Previously, the Marquis of Xinwu Ting has laid an excellent foundation, and now the Prime Minister only needs to give an order.
Now, one hundred thousand Wuxi barbarians will die for the Prime Minister. As for the Jingnan mountain barbarians, the Prime Minister's gesture can also make them hesitate. You must know that the Feitou barbarians and Liu Bei only have a combination of interests."
This is the step down for Cao Cao.
Cao Cao looked down upon the Wuxi Barbarians and did not believe in the Wuxi Barbarians, so he did not let Sha Teng troops.
The current impasse has forced Cao Cao to reconsider.
After thinking for a long time, Cao Cao decided to follow the advice of Guo Jia and others.
Privately, he smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't expect that I would be so tough all my life, but in the end I would have to accept the kindness of that kid."
‘That boy’ is Cao Peng.
Guo Jia smiled and said: "Ah Fu is loyal and loyal, which is the blessing of the prime minister."
"As long as he doesn't cause me any more trouble, I'll be satisfied."
What Cao Cao said was that Cao Peng killed Fu Shou, Fu Wan and others, and then killed 2131 people in Bailu Bay... No, to be precise, it was 2132 people. When this incident spread to Jingzhou, it also made Jing Xiang
shock.
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief at Cao Peng's bold behavior.
But to Cao Cao, his words at this moment sounded more like showing off.
Guo Jia and Xun Yu looked at each other, smiling and saying nothing.
But in Xun Yu's smile, there was more of a kind of complexity, a kind of...inexplicable sadness. Guo Jia persuaded him many times in private, and Xun Yu's state of mind was constantly changing. Seeing Cao Cao's unification,
It was irreversible, and Xun Yu knew in his heart that even if Cao Cao had no intention of usurping the throne, he would probably have to do so.
For example, Cao Cao was friends with Cao Cao, which was a clan relationship.
When Cao Peng's achievements reached a peak, he could not help but be worried by Cao Cao.
What about Cao Cao?
What should he do when he really dominates the world?
Returning power to the Han Emperor?
That's simply a joke.
The former general Dou Wu learned from his mistakes that if Cao Cao handed over power, he would be dead in less than a day.
Therefore, Cao Cao would never hand over power, so what should the Han Emperor do?
Cao Peng's meritorious service is so great that he can use self-destruction to gain Cao Cao's trust. Moreover, Cao Peng is Cao Cao's nephew. With such a relationship, he can sit back and relax; but what about Cao Cao? He also has great achievements and shocked his lord, even if he
If he is willing to defile himself, will the Han Emperor forgive him and trust him just like Cao Cao did to Cao Peng?
Of course it's impossible...
But without Cao Cao, the Han Dynasty would surely perish.
When the time comes, the world will be in chaos again, and the princes will rise again, it will inevitably lead to a loss of lives.
Xun Yu's mood is very complicated.
On the one hand, he understood Cao Cao's approach, but on the other hand, he always had an inseparable feeling for the Han Dynasty.
However, as this feeling becomes weaker and weaker, Xun Yu will make a decision sooner or later.
Guo Jia knows this, and Cao Cao also knows it!
Neither Guo Jia nor Xun Yu said anything about Cao Cao's defeat. They just secretly despised him: I wonder who drank three glasses of wine in a row after hearing the news that day? But now they came out and said it was a trouble.
"Then please ask Wen Ruo to send people to Wuxi County, prepare generous gifts, and ask Sha Sha to vacate the troops."
"Here!"
Xun Yu bowed to accept the order and exited the yamen hall.
As soon as he walked away, Cao Cao's face turned dark.
"Fengxiao, write me a letter back to that brat and tell him not to cause trouble."
Guo Jia was startled and said in astonishment: "Prime Minister, what's wrong?"
I haven’t heard anything about Xu Du recently! Ever since Cao Peng went on a killing spree in Bailu Bay, things have been going smoothly in Xu Du. It is said that this autumn is a good harvest year, and Cao Peng is helping Jia Xu recently, taking charge of harvesting and other matters.
Could it be that something happened to Xu Du again? Or maybe Cao Peng caused trouble again?
This guy is really unsettling!
Guo Jia was very aware of Cao Peng's ability to cause trouble.
So, he hesitated and asked softly: "Prime Minister, what's wrong with Ah Fu?"
"Let him be in charge of the prison, but he is involved in my family affairs."
"how?"
"You see……"
As Cao Cao spoke, he threw a letter in front of Guo Jia.
The letter was sent by Mrs. Bian. The content of the letter is: The Cai family has a son named Adiguai, also called Cai Di. He is the grandson of Cai Yong and a student of Cao Peng. He is sixteen years old... He went to Hexi with Cao Peng.
, he also made military exploits in Nanyang County and became a Cavalry Captain. Now, Cai Di is studying at Fuxishan Academy and has excellent results.
After saying a lot of good things about Cai Di, Mrs. Bian said: Cao Peng came to visit half a month ago to propose marriage to Cai Di and to marry Cao Jie.
When Guo Jia saw it, his head buzzed and he was immediately confused!
Which song did Cao Peng sing?
Cao Cao was full of anger and said viciously: "It must be the eldest daughter's mother, who doesn't want the eldest daughter to enter the palace... I don't know how she found this brat and actually came up with such an idea. She also made a big fanfare and came to ask for marriage, which made many
Everyone in the capital knows this. Fengxiao, do you think I should recruit him and give him a hard slap on the ear?"
"this……"
Guo Jia scratched his head and said, "The Prime Minister's family matter, Jiashi doesn't know what to do.
However, Cai Di is also a talented person, with a tough nature and a lot of perseverance. Especially since he became Mr. Bozhe, if it is considered as a family matter, it does not mean he has wronged the eldest lady. Therefore, I leave it to the Prime Minister to make a decision on this matter.
"
"this……"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Why doesn't he know that Cai Di is Cai Yong's grandson?
I think back then, he was still studying under Cai Yong... If he was not the prime minister, then marrying his daughter to Cai Di would be a good choice. But now, he is a little troubled! Refuse? Since the brat got involved, he will definitely not
Will he give up and refuse? Then how can he control the imperial harem?
What annoys Cao Cao the most is, Cao Peng, do your job well, why are you disturbing my house when you have nothing to do?
Are you damn free?
But on the other hand, Cao Cao was very happy.
This brat really doesn’t regard himself as an outsider!
In this regard, Cao Cao likes it very much...
"Forget it, I have my own opinion on this matter.
Fengxiao, write a letter back and tell that bastard to work for me honestly and stop causing me any trouble."
"Here!"
"Wait a minute..."
Cao Cao's eyes suddenly rolled, "I heard that Zhao Ji is currently living in the Xinwu Tinghou Mansion?"
"yes!"
Guo Jia couldn't help but show envy, "I also heard that Mrs. Cai often visited Xudu and also lived in his home. Before he left Jingzhou, it was said that he took two women with him, which is very touching."
Poor me, Guo Fengxiao, I am so charming and handsome, but I have never been so lucky!
Guo Jia's tutor is very good, and Mrs. Guo is the one who takes the decision in the family.
Mrs. Guo's character is good, but...
It is said that vinegar is very powerful.
It's not impossible for Guo Jia to have sex outside occasionally. But if she brings another woman home, Mrs. Guo's face will change. As a result, Guo Jia can only sneak around now and never dares to bring a woman home.
Home.
But Cao Peng came to Xiangyang and deceived Mrs. Liu Jingzhou.
After staying in Jingnan for several months, he actually took away two more women...
The greatest pain in the world is to have a beautiful woman in front of you but not be able to move!
Guo Jia felt sorry for himself on the sidelines.
But Cao Cao was making quick calculations in his heart.
You brat, how dare you interfere with my family affairs? I haven't even bothered you yet, and you're now making trouble for me?
"Tell me, is there really an affair between Zhao Ji and Ah Fu?"
"This...it's hard to say. Jia usually doesn't pay much attention to these things."
"What I mean is, if I make the decision and let Zhao Ji marry Ah Fu...Xu Yi as his wife, what will happen to him?"
Isn't that a mess?
When Xia Houyuan wanted to marry his niece, he almost overturned the Fengchehou Mansion.
Now, you are going to marry a second-married widow to Cao Peng. I am afraid that the Xinwuting Hou Mansion will be very lively.
only……
Guo Jia suddenly thought of something.
Before he could speak, Cao Cao said: "That's it...if he interferes in my family affairs, I will make his family uneasy."
Sometimes, Cao Cao is like a child, doing things very casually.
Now that he had made up his mind, Guo Jia couldn't say anything else.
It doesn't matter if you marry Cai Yan to Cao Peng... But if you interfere in his family affairs, he will probably disturb your family. By the way, if your old man's daughter really marries Cai Di, then what will happen to your generation?
, how to calculate it?
When he thought of this, Guo Jia shuddered and remained silent.
But seeing Cao Cao being so proud, he could only sigh in his heart...
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Ah sneeze!
Cao Peng sneezed and rubbed his nose.
Who is scolding me?
He scratched his head and immediately put the matter behind him. There were many people who wanted to scold him. Although the Xudu Daily had fewer articles scolding him in recent times, it was because of Cao Peng, who was really frightened.
Living.
Privately, I don’t know how many people are cursing him...
Fortunately, letters from his teacher Pang Degong and Hu Zhao gave Cao Peng a lot of relief.
The content of the letter between the two people is that you should not care about other people's opinions. You only need to be clear about your heart, and that will be enough.
Cao Peng, I really don’t feel guilty about this matter.
If he doesn't kill, people will kill him.
It seems that he killed many people, but in fact, he saved more people...
If Cao Cao were to handle this matter, I'm afraid the implications would be wider and the killings would be heavier. Now, more than two thousand lives have been exchanged for peace in the north and tranquility in Xudu. After thinking about it carefully, Cao Peng felt that it was a good deal.
.
As for what others say?
Are you afraid of being bitten if there are too many lice? You can scold them as much as you want.
You've made me angry. Let's see if it's my sword that's tough or your mouth that's tough!
Cao Peng was very happy to receive the understanding from Hu Zhao, Pang Degong and others.
At the same time, Wang Shuang also returned from Xuzhou and told Cao Peng that he had sent Liu Guang and his family to Lu Han to return to Seoul.
When Liu Guang boarded the ship, he asked Wang Shuang to bring him a message.
"From now on, there will be no more Liu Ziyu in the world. If you go to Luhan someday, you might as well have a glass of water and wine with an old friend named Wen Guang and talk about worldly affairs. This is what Wen Guang looked forward to most when he was a boy."
Liu Guang, think about it.
I took off the blade and concentrated on writing.
I no longer have any desire to recover. From now on, I will study hard.
Wenguang, isn't it Liu Guang himself?
When he was a boy, it was also when Cao Peng was a boy. What he hoped for most was to become good friends with Cao Peng.
But fate played a trick on people, and instead of becoming friends, they became rivals.
At first, Liu Guang gave Cao Peng a little mastiff. Now the little mastiff has grown up, and there are still six little mastiffs left...
Even Wang Shuang was a gift from Liu Guang.
Maybe Liu Guang no longer remembers Wang Shuang, but Cao Peng can't help but keep this affection in his heart.
After listening to Wang Shuang's words, Cao Peng couldn't help but sigh softly.
This is a free and easy person. After he removes his burden, he may live a happy and free life!
If I have the chance, I really want to go back to Seoul and take a look!
Not only did he want to see Liu Guang, he also wanted to see Lu Lan and the twins Lu Lan gave birth to for him.
"Uncle Zhou, how are you?"
"Zhou Jinghai is very kind...he asked the villain to tell the young master that the Dongling Island navy has begun to take shape.
Give him another three years and he will be able to build a naval force capable of landing in Jiangdong."
So, so good!
Zhou Cang is also married now, and he is married to the daughter of the Xu family in Haixi.
I heard that this Xu family is also the niece of Xu Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou, and she is very attractive. Xu Xu is willing to marry his niece to Zhou Cang, which also means that Zhou Cang has been recognized by the Xuzhou family. Looking back, Cao Peng always felt that
, the one he felt most sorry for was Zhou Cang.
Zhou Cang was the first to follow him, fleeing all the way from Nanyang, abandoning his own business, and came to Xudu.
Then he followed Cao Peng and Deng Ji to Haixi.
It's been ten years since I left.
Later, most of Pan Zhang and Gan Ning who joined Cao Peng were as powerful as two thousand shi.
Only Zhou Cang still stayed in Haixi, stationed on the remote Dongling Island... However, he never complained.
Now that we are married, we have a foundation.
Cao Peng was naturally happy to mention Zhoucang, and at the same time, he had a lot of expectations in his heart. If the Dongling Island navy is built, it can attack Wu Commandery and attack Kuaiji. The long coastline to the east of the Yangtze River is certainly a natural chasm.
But for Cao Peng, it was not a huge flaw.
When Cao Jun can calmly land in Jiangdong at sea, chaos will inevitably occur in Jiangdong.
However, this requires a process.
As Zhou Cang said, the construction of Dongling Island navy will not be accomplished in three to five years. Anyway, we have already waited for ten years, so what does it matter if we wait for another ten years? Cao Peng felt much relieved when he thought of this.
.
In the afternoon, Tingwei had nothing to do.
Cao Peng informed Fazheng and others, and then returned to the Hou Mansion with Samoko, Wenwu and Shi Shiran.
From a distance, I could see two carriages parked outside the gate of the Hou Mansion. Judging from the build of the carriages, it seemed that they were not ordinary people's homes.
In more than a month, this was the first time I saw someone entering the gate of his Xinwuting Marquis Mansion.
"Who's coming?"
Cao Peng dismounted outside the mansion gate.
A servant ran out and took the reins of the horse.
Cao Peng did not ride a liger in Xudu City. The narrow streets were not suitable for the liger's temperament. So on weekdays, Cao Peng left the liger in the farm outside the city. Anyway, a thousand acres of land were enough for a liger.
The beast runs and gallops.
The doorman quickly replied: "It's the family of the governor of Xiheyang who are visiting."
Governor of Xiheyang?
Cao Peng immediately realized that this Xihe Yang Governor was the same Yang Di who had gone to Nanyang County with him to serve as the county magistrate. Why, he had been promoted? He suddenly became the Governor of Xihe County?
No, isn’t Xihe County in Bingzhou?
Bingzhou is still the territory of high-ranking officials...could it be said that Lao Cao has decided to send troops to Xihe?
That's quite possible!
Deng Ji has been in Hedong for almost two years.
With the help of the Wei family in Hedong, Deng Ji also gained a firm foothold.
Nowadays, Youzhou is stable and Jizhou is at peace. Especially this year, Jizhou has a good harvest, which also makes Cao Cao no longer need to export from the south of the river to Jizhou and other places. Under this situation, it is urgent to regain Bingzhou.
Cao Cao's foundation has been laid, but the siege and sanctions against Bingzhou in the past two years have caused Bingzhou to be in chaos.
The rule of senior officials would probably not be sustainable if it were not for the help of Liu Bao.
In this case, it is most appropriate to capture Bingzhou. As long as Cao Cao raises troops here, Bingzhou will respond immediately. At the same time, with the stability and recovery of Hebei, Cao Cao also has the ability to resist the Xianbei people. Here
It is also understandable to appoint Yang Di as the governor of Xihe at the time of planting.
Yang Di's wife is Cai Yan's sister.
It seems reasonable for them to come to visit the government...
Cao Peng scratched his head, showed an indifferent look, and walked into the Hou Mansion.
Cai Yan was receiving Mr. Yang and his wife in the side hall. No one was seen outside the side hall. Cao Peng rolled his eyes and suddenly became interested. He secretly stopped outside the side hall and listened to the conversation in the side hall.
"...It's not convenient for my sister to live in Xinwutinghou Mansion.
Although Marquis Cao is kind to my sister, in the eyes of outsiders, he is never a member of the Cao Mansion. Living in the Cao Mansion for a long time, I am afraid that the reputations of both my sister and Marquis Cao are not very good, so why not move to my house."
The one who spoke was a woman.
The woman who calls Cai Wenji this way must be Cai Zhenji, Cai Yan's sister.
Cai Wenji seemed hesitant and did not speak.
But I heard Cai Zhenji say again: "My sister has been back home in Mobei for many years.
She is still alone to this day, and my little sister can't bear to see it in her heart... In the past, when Ameiguai and Adiguai were still young, the elder sister refused to get married, which the younger sister could understand. But now that Adiguai has become a Cavalry Commander, he is learning to float.
At Xishan Academy, if you have a famous teacher, you will become a great person sooner or later. Ameiguai is getting older, so my sister always has to make some considerations for herself. After all, this woman needs a man to take care of her.
I will be lonely forever... If my father knew about it, he would probably feel sorry for my sister."
"Zhenji, what do you mean by these words?"
"Sister, I don't have any other intentions, I just think about my sister.
In fact, with my sister’s talent and appearance, how many people have been dreaming of me and tossing and turning? I came here this time because I was entrusted by my father-in-law to find a marriage for my sister. Zilu has an older brother, but he is a well-educated scholar.
, is also well-known in the local area. He has admired his sister for a long time, so he asked his father-in-law to propose to her. That brother was born in Xiaolian and is now an official in Xudu, so he and his sister are a perfect match."
When Cao Peng heard this outside the door, he immediately became angry...
