Chapter 36

Cao Cao's letter was quickly placed on Yuan Shao's desk.

In Cao Cao's view, a trivial matter that was originally very simple aroused Yuan Shao's anger.

"What a Cao Mengde, Zhang Xi, who cheated me, didn't say anything, but asked me to help propose marriage. Do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?"

Tian Feng and Ju Shou, the counselors under him, were overjoyed when they heard the words, and they both said together:
"My lord, Cao Mengde is not a person who has lived under others for a long time. They annexed the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army and the Black Mountain Army successively. My lord should deal with him as soon as possible!"

Fengji is not happy anymore.

Cao Cao just gave him a big gift, how could the Lord go and destroy him?

So Fengji retorted:
"My lord, don't fall for Tian Feng's tricks! Now all the princes in the world know that my lord and Cao Mengde are like brothers, and together they repelled the coalition forces of Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and others.

If the lord goes to attack Cao Mengde at this time, what will the people of the world think?Could it be that Yuan's reputation for many years has been exchanged for the lord's inhumanity?
In my opinion, the lord should not only help Cao Ziyou propose a marriage, but also reward Yanzhou more, so that Yanzhou can become our sword in Jizhou! "

Guo Tu nodded. He also accepted Cao Cao's gift and began to speak for Cao Cao.

"My lord, now we occupy the land of the four states, looking at the entire Han Dynasty, which prince can compare to the majesty of the lord?
What the lord needs to do is to show his kindness and let other princes know the fate of being friends with us in Jizhou.

The combination of kindness and power is the way to improve the reputation of the lord.Now that Yuan Shu has been defeated and our coercion has been released, the next step is to show our grace! "

Yuan Shao nodded, it seemed very reasonable!
When Tian Feng saw this, he became anxious immediately!

"My lord, these two people must have been bribed by Cao Cao, and they are helping Cao Cao to speak at this time! In my opinion, Cao Mengde is absolutely extraordinary. If you don't restrict it now, it will become a serious problem for the lord in the future!"

One side said that Cao Cao should be dealt with as soon as possible while he was weak.

People on the other side said that Cao Cao is now Yuan Shao's ally, and all the princes in the world are watching. If Yuan Shao attacks Cao Cao for no reason, then he will have no allies in the future.

The two sides quarreled endlessly, but Yuan Shao sat proudly on the chair and smiled.

He is not afraid of the people under his command quarreling, but he is afraid of his subordinates uniting together.

Therefore, he estimates that indulging the growth of various factions will lead to sharp internal conflicts in the entire Jizhou Group.

Yuan Shao considered again and again, and finally decided to make a compromise.

For his good reputation, he rewarded Cao Cao with a lot of supplies.

In order to beat Cao Cao, Yuan Shao asked Cao Ziyou to act as a matchmaker and marry Zhen Mi to his son.

Don't you want to marry Zhen Mi?

I'm sorry, not only do I disagree, but I also want you to be a matchmaker and personally go to Zhen's house to help my son get married.

Do you dare to agree?
Yuan Shao was very proud. He thought he had come up with a perfect plan.

And you can beat Cao Cao through Cao Ziyou.

If Cao Ziyou were Cao Ang, this plan would indeed be fine.

But Cao Ziyou is Cao Ziyou, can a young man be called a young man if he is not arrogant?
So the messenger was chased away by Cao Ziyou without seeing Cao Cao's face.

And a few days later, another gangster appeared in Jizhou.

The leader called himself Zhang Mazi!

This group of bandits is different from the previous Black Mountain Army. There are not many people, but their combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the Black Mountain Army.

Moreover, the bandit chiefs inside all had unique skills, and they killed the Jizhou army quite tragically.

Yuan Shao, who was preparing for his son's wedding, had to stop what he was doing and deal with the gangsters first.

Yuan Shao ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead [-] troops each, and Tian Feng and Guo Tu to serve as military advisers respectively.

The [-]-strong army marched out of the city to suppress the bandits.

On the other hand, Cao Cao did not receive Yuan Shao's beating, but instead received a letter from his old father.

Cao Cao's father is also Cao Ziyou's grandfather Cao Song, who successively served as Captain of Sili, Da Honglu, Da Si Nong, and Taiwei.

Later, Cao Song was dismissed from the position of Taiwei because of the invasion of counties and counties by Gepi Yellow Turban in Runan, and returned to his hometown in Qiao County.

During the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, Cao Cao raised troops in Chenliu.Cao Song refused to accompany him, so he took his youngest son Cao De (also known as Cao Ji) to Langya to avoid disaster.

Not long ago, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao joined hands to defeat Yuan Shu and others, and gained a firm foothold. Cao Song felt that the opportunity to reunite with his family had come.

Although Langya is currently relatively safe, but no matter how safe it is, it is not as safe as his son's home.

So Cao Song wrote a letter to Cao Cao, wanting to take his family's property and go to Yanzhou.

Cao Cao was also very happy after reading the letter.

He is a filial child, so he naturally wants to have his father by his side.

So he not only replied a letter to Cao Song, but also asked Ying Shao, the prefect of Taishan County, to escort Cao Song to Yanzhou.

In Cao Cao's view, his current reputation has already spread all over the world.

Even if someone wants to move Yanzhou, they have to think about their relationship with Jizhou.

What's more, with the Taishou of Taishan County personally escorting, the little thieves on the road dared not do anything at all.

As for the counties and counties along the way, Cao Cao can say that, except for his big brother Yuan Shao, he has never been afraid of anyone in the whole of the Northland!
After everything was arranged, Cao Cao suddenly remembered that the old man loves Cao Ziyou the most.

If Cao Ziyou can be seen welcoming him at the border of Yanzhou, the old man will be very happy!
"Come on, go and call Mr. Ziyou!"

"Report, Mr. Ziyou left Yanzhou a few days ago, and I don't know where he went."

"what?!"
