Chen Deng said that Lu Bu wanted to get married, but Cao Cao did not refuse.

Regardless of whether it is a time of governance or a time of trouble, marriage is a means of strengthening power.

When the interests are consistent, the children and their relatives will advance and retreat together, and everyone will be happy.

When there is a conflict of interest, it is time to fall out.

Therefore, although in Cao Cao's mind, Lu Bu would be eliminated sooner or later, since Lu Bu wanted to get married, Cao Cao would not refuse.

Not to mention that Lu Bu was nine feet tall and handsome, and his wife Yan and his concubine Diao Chan were also stunningly beautiful.

Regardless of whether Lu Bu's daughter is born to Yan or Diao Chan, with her parents' handsome genes, Lu Bu's daughter is also stunningly beautiful.

It would not be a disadvantage to let his eldest son Cao Ang take Lu Bu's daughter.

The premise is that you can only be a concubine for your side wife, not your main wife!

Of course, as long as you marry, you will be given the title of madam, just like Cao Cao's concubines, Mrs. Bian and Mrs. Huan.

Although they have the title of madam, they are actually side wives and concubines. Cao Pi and Cao Chong, the children they gave birth to respectively, are also concubines.

Only Cao Cao's first wife, Mrs. Ding, is the real wife and the mistress of the family!

And Cao Ang, who was raised by Mrs. Ding, is Cao Cao's legitimate son!

Cao Cao attaches great importance to his eldest son Cao Ang.

Before Cao Ang became famous, Cao Cao did not marry his son randomly, let alone now that Cao Ang has shown extraordinary talents and unparalleled bravery, and has the reputation of being the son of a unicorn, a dragon and a phoenix!

Then Cao Cao had to be even more careful in selecting his eldest son, Cao Ang, as his first wife!

A guy like Lu Bu, a nouveau riche with a shallow foundation, who would annihilate his family once defeated, no matter how beautiful his daughter is, cannot be his main wife.

Otherwise, if Lu Bu's daughter is the official wife, the child she gives birth to will be Cao Ang's legitimate son and Cao Cao's legitimate grandson.

If Cao Cao killed Lu Bu at that time, wouldn't he be killing his grandson's grandfather?

Therefore, even if it is to avoid making it difficult for the legitimate son and grandson, it is best not to use Lu Bu's daughter, who is destined to be an enemy, as his main wife"May 17".

If it is a side room, there won't be so many worries.

On the surface, they are related by marriage. Even if they fall out at war with each other, they will be destroyed as soon as possible.

Even if Lu Bu has a grandson, he is only a concubine of the Cao family and will not be allowed to take charge of the Cao family business, so it will have little influence.

Opposite Cao Cao, Chen Deng nodded with deep approval after hearing Cao Cao's words,"My son is a dragon and a phoenix, and Lu Bu's tiger girl can only be a concubine."

Before coming to Xudu, Chen Deng and his old father Chen Gui thought so.

"To be honest with Sikong, I came here this time because of my father's request to persuade Sikong to take Xuzhou as soon as possible to plot against Lu Bu.

A few days ago, Yuan Shu sent his envoy Han Yin to bring gifts and asked Lu Bu to attack Sikong and Master Zixiu in the name of welcoming his bride.

Yuan Shu wanted to take the Chen State of Zixiu Gongzi, but asked Lu Bu to attack the Pei State and Liang State.

My father and son are afraid that the marriage alliance between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu will become a powerful force and make it more difficult for the court to eradicate Lu Bu.

So my father went to see Lü Bu. After some remarks, Lü Bu broke up with Yuan Shu and had Han Yin, Yuan Shu's envoy, kidnapped and sent to Xudu.

Although Lu Bu was brave and foolhardy, he was also headstrong.

If he knew that Sikong was only willing to let his daughter be a concubine for Master Zixiu, he would be unhappy and not accept it.

I wonder if you can pretend to agree to Lu Bu's marriage, not to talk about being a concubine, and don't set a date yet.

Just like the so-called marriage between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu before.

In this way, Lu Bu can be stabilized for the time being, and when he and Lu Bu fall out, since they haven't actually gotten married yet, there is nothing to worry about.……"

Chen Deng's plan is relatively clear and reasonable.

From a rational point of view, this is undoubtedly the best way. Even if it is a bit deceptive, it is normal for soldiers to be willing to deceive in these troubled times.

Therefore, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu on the side also nodded in approval.

However, Cao Cao, who had always been regarded as treacherous by the world, shook his head this time:"Although Yuan Long's plan is good, I don't want to do it!

My son has the talent to cultivate dragons and phoenixes. If he wants to choose a good match in this world, It is not easy for a woman to become a legitimate wife.

If she cheats on Zixiu's marriage in order to stabilize Lu Bu, it will certainly gain temporary benefits, but it will inevitably affect my son's reputation as a legitimate wife in the future!

There are families with virtuous women in the world. , because of my deceitful plan to marry Lu Bu, they will be worried and dare not marry my Cao family. Wouldn't it delay Zixiu's choice of a lover?"

Cao Cao's words made Chen Deng and Guo Jiacheng Yu both feel the same. Stunned, he obviously didn't expect that Cao Cao, who always acted informally and only pursued pragmatism, would actually reject Chen Deng's suggestion.

But after hearing Cao Cao's answer, everyone couldn't help but nodded.

Poor parents in the world!

Even though Cao Cao was cunning and suspicious, he was not cunning in everything.

This traitor who has always insisted that I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me, only in the matter of Cao Ang, did he refuse to cheat for the first time!

This shows how much Cao Cao, an old father, values ​​his eldest son Cao Ang.

"Sikong's love for his son is admirable, but Chen Deng made a mistake."

Chen Deng bowed his hands and apologized to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao waved his hand:"Yuan Long also offered his advice for me, there is no need for this.

Then I asked Yuan Long to reply directly to Lu Bu, saying that marriage is okay, but his daughter can only be my son's concubine.

If Lu Bu agrees, he will agree. If he doesn't agree, there is nothing to worry about.

Since he has sent Yuan Shu's envoy Han Yin to Xudu, he has cut himself off from Yuan Shu and will find it difficult to reunite with Yuan Shu.

Moreover, I used Liu Bei, the shepherd of Yuzhou, to constrain Lü Bu in Xiaopei. Even if Lü Bu responded to Yuan Shu, it would be difficult to accomplish anything great.

I only had Yanzhou and half of Yuzhou before, so I wasn't afraid of Lu Bu and Yuan Shu joining forces.

Now that my son has conquered the state of Chen, he has 20,000 elite soldiers and thousands of powerful crossbows, and he will not be afraid!"

Cao Cao looked at Chen Deng and said, what he said was the reason why Cao Cao dared to directly make Lu Bu's daughter his concubine!

Chen Deng thought about it for a while, and it was indeed the case, so he added:"My father and son are quite good in Xuzhou. The powerful people can act as internal agents for Sikong and secretly restrain Lu Bu. When Cao

Cao heard this, he was overjoyed and said,"If Yuan Long and his son can help me, I won't have to worry about Lu Bu."

Then I will entrust everything east of Yuzhou to Yuan Long and his son!"

With that said, Cao Cao took the books and silk, drafted a memorial in front of Chen Deng, recommended Chen Deng as the prefect of Guangling County under the rule of Xuzhou, and promoted Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, from an official rank of two thousand shi when he retired. Level one.

Chen Deng was a little moved when he saw Cao

Cao treating him like this. Of course, it was only a little. What really moved Chen Deng was that when Chen Deng arrived just now, Cao Cao knew that Chen Deng loved food, so he served him hot pot. Meeting while eating hot pot...

For Chen Deng, who loves food, this kind of treatment like a confidant is what really moved Chen Deng.

Celebrities have different temperaments, and Chen Deng is the kind of high-ranking official who you give me Houlu, I may not be tempted, but if you treat me to delicious food, then we are good friends and have a free and easy temperament...

Of course, if it was just like this, Chen Deng would not be so confidant to Cao Cao, because compared to Cao Cao, Liu Bei obviously wins the hearts of the soldiers and people in Xuzhou.

However, Liu Bei is now weak and dependent on Cao Cao, so he cannot achieve anything.

Moreover, although Cao Cao's son Cao Ang is far away in Chen State and has never met him, Cao Ang's recent fame and deeds, as well as Cao Cao's presence here today, Chen Deng was shocked by the hot pot he ate and the Quyuanli he saw...

Chen Deng subconsciously felt that such a talented man with so many abilities would surely shine in this troubled world, even extremely. It is possible that he is the son of destiny like Liu Xiu back then!

Even if Cao Cao is unable to assist, this Cao Ang still has the appearance of a wise king and a hero!

What's more, all Cao Ang's actions so far are different from Cao Cao's behavior.

Cao Ang has a reputation for benevolence and righteousness, an ancient custom in the Spring and Autumn Period!

With such a combination of political integrity and talent, he can be called a wise master!

Therefore, Chen Deng has now made up his mind to assist the Cao family and his son!

Following Cao Cao's order, Yuan Shu's envoy Han Yin was cut in half in the Xudu market.

Chen Deng also took Guangling with him. The appointment letter of the prefect left Xudu.

Before leaving, Cao Cao gave Chen Deng a pound of dried chili peppers, which moved Chen Deng completely...

And Cao Cao told Chen Deng the causes and consequences of coming to Xudu, as well as Lu Bu's intention to get married, and was Cao Cao promised that he could only do things for his concubine, so he wrote them all in letters and quickly sent them to Chen County to Cao Ang.

Yes, the current Chen State has been changed to Chen County, and Cao Ang is the new governor of Chen County. The original Chen Xiang Luo Jun was appointed as the county magistrate to assist Cao Ang, the county magistrate, in governing Chen County.

Although he was said to be an assistant, in fact, Luo Jun, the county magistrate, almost shouldered the burden of the county magistrate and magistrate. (Watch the violence. For cool novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Cao Ang pushed all the matters of promoting Quyuanli, encouraging mulberry farming, and resettling refugees from Runan to Luo Jun, and he became the hand-off shopkeeper.

It can't be said to be a hand-off. Shopkeeper, to be precise, Cao Ang is doing another thing, which is recruiting and training troops!

After taking over Chen State a few days ago, Cao Ang obtained Chen State's 10,000 strong soldiers and thousands of powerful crossbows. He also captured Zhang Kai. Yuan Shu brought 4,000 soldiers and horses.

Including the 2,000 soldiers and horses brought by Cao Ang from Ruyang, and the more than 1,000 fellow countrymen brought by Xu Chu Laitou, the total was 17,000.[]

With the popularization of Quyuan plow in Ruyang and Chenjun, the efficiency of farming has been greatly improved, and so many young men are no longer needed.

Therefore, Cao Ang simply organized all the 17,000 troops together, regardless of their origin or foundation.

In addition, 3,000 men were recruited from the common people of Chen County and the refugees from Runan who settled in Chen County, forming a total of 20,000 troops.

Then Cao Ang selected the best among the best and selected five thousand people to form an army, which he directly subordinated.

He also appointed Dian Wei, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu as generals, each leading an army of five thousand.

These four armies have 20,000 troops, and Cao Ang has been training them using Han Xin's military training method these days.

Coupled with the sufficient food supply, it took only half a month to implement orders and prohibitions, and cooperated well.

Being able to follow orders and follow orders and cooperate tacitly is the image of an elite soldier in this era.

Generally speaking, a soldier needs at least one or two years of training to reach this level from the time he first joins the army.

And Cao Ang practiced Han Xin's military skills and achieved such results in half a month. If word spread, it would be extremely amazing!

Even the three generals Dian Wei, Cao Hong and Xu Chu were shocked!

But slowly, they all got used to the all-round ability of the coach Cao Ang, and they were no longer surprised.

When Cao Cao's letter arrived quickly, Cao Ang was practicing the coordination of his soldiers in an ambush and encirclement at the school field outside Chen County.

On the military command platform, Cao Ang watched 20,000 soldiers line up and change formations in an orderly manner under his flag, sometimes encircling and sometimes dispersing, gathering and scattering like sand, coming and going like the wind, his eyes were filled with joy.....

If you can achieve this step, the 20,000 soldiers and horses can be considered a success.

"Han Xin's military training method is indeed well-deserved!"

At this moment, Cao Ang whispered to himself, full of praise.

In history, when Chu and Han fought, the overlord Xiang Yu was extremely brave, and his men were all veterans of many battles.

Many times he fought against Liu Bang, and he was able to defeat Liu Bang with tens of thousands of people. Liu Bang was defeated by hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands!

Every time Liu Bang's troops were quickly defeated by Xiang Yu, then Liu Bang went to Han Xin to ask for troops.

But for a prodigal like Liu Bang, Han Xin was able to defeat him in a very short time Recruit enough soldiers, and train the farmers who have just put down their hoes into soldiers who can go to the battlefield in the shortest time, and constantly replenish Liu Bang's troops.

This shows the power of Han Xin's military training method!

Cao Ang trained his troops with this military method, and of course he made great progress with each passing day. Progress was rapid.

What's more, in addition to Han Xin's military training, Cao Ang not only had a full supply of food and grass, so that even though the soldiers trained a lot, they could still fill their stomachs and keep up with their physical strength, converting the consumed food into muscles and combat power.

Plus Cao Ang has become famous in recent months, showing extraordinary strategy, bravery and shooting, which made these soldiers awe and admiration.

Especially those who witnessed Cao Ang's three arrows defeating the Chen Kingdom's four thousand surrendered soldiers. He regarded Cao Ang as a god.

There are also peerless generals such as Dian Wei, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu in the army. The general is brave, the commander Cao Ang is brave and resourceful, and Dian Wei, Cao Hong, and Xu Chu are also brave and brave among the three armies, making the soldiers safer Sense and trust.

Therefore, the morale of the 20,000 soldiers and horses is even stronger!

Many factors add up, and Cao Ang's 20,000 soldiers are no weaker than veterans who have been fighting for several years!

The only thing missing is the test of a big war.

And Cao Ang knew that such a battle would not be far away!

After all, a few days ago, Cao Ang captured Zhang Kai and defeated Chen Guo. He killed a thousand people in the formation and captured Yuan Shu's four thousand soldiers and horses. Yuan Shu's continuous negative energy was refreshed in the system.

Only Yuan Shu had just At the beginning, more than 100,000 points of negative energy were generated in one day!

And these days, Yuan Shu's negative energy is still coming every now and then, in a steady stream, and he has contributed tens of thousands more points. Together, it is close to 20,000 points. The number.

It can be seen how angry Yuan Shu is and hates Cao Ang.

Therefore, after suffering such a big loss, Yuan Shu will definitely send troops to attack, recover the losses and regain the situation!

In addition to Yuan Shu, Cao Ang also received Zhang Xiu a few days ago , Jia Xu, Liu Bei, and Chen Gong had some negative energy.

So Cao Ang guessed that these princes from all directions would be wary when they saw that their wings were gradually becoming fuller. They must not want to see Cao Ang become more powerful, and he did not want Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son to become more powerful.

With enemies on all sides and possible attacks at any time, Cao Ang naturally left all government affairs to Luo Jun and concentrated on training his troops.

Now, 20,000 new troops have been initially trained, even if Yuan Shu or the princes come to attack , Cao Ang is also confident that they will sink into the sand and be defeated in his own hands!

In Cao Ang's heart, he even vaguely expected Yuan Shu to attack. In this case, Yuan Shu's wave of effective forces can be eliminated at the border of Chen County without the need for an expedition. , which saves a lot of money and food for long-distance transportation.

Attacking Shouchun and destroying Yuan Shu in the future can also save a lot of energy.

Thinking of this, on 4.7, Cao Cao's letter happened to be delivered, so Cao Ang asked the soldiers to disperse and rest, and took out the lacquer-sealed He read La's letters.

When he saw that Lu Bu broke off the marriage to Yuan Shu and kidnapped Han Yin and sent him to Xudu, he smiled slightly, knowing that he was very familiar with this.

Because in history, in the second year of Jian'an, Lu Bu also did this because of Chen Gui and Chen Deng's advice.

However, due to the existence of Cao Ang, the specific details and time have changed a bit, and Lu Bu has an additional purpose, which is to marry Cao Ang.

Cao Ang had no objection to Lü Bu marrying a daughter. He also had the same idea as Cao Cao that Lü Bu's daughter was not suitable to be his wife.

Therefore, in response to some questions in Cao Cao's letters asking about Cao Ang's thoughts, Cao Ang also responded to the letters and expressed no objection.

As for Lu Bu's reaction when he learns the news, Cao Ang doesn't care.

If you don't accept it, fight!

Anyway, if Lu Bu is destroyed, won't his wife and daughter still fall into Cao Ang's hands?

In this era, it was normal for the wife and daughter of the defeated to be taken in by the victor.

After writing the reply, Cao Ang wrote on it that he had completed military training in Chen County and was fully prepared.

Then he used Qianli Falcon to reply to Cao Cao.

Pity the fast horse riding around to deliver a message from Xudu, which took a day and a night to travel three to four hundred miles, but Cao Ang used a thousand-mile falcon to reply the letter, which could be delivered to Xudu in two or three hours at most...

Cao Ang was ready for war At that time, Yuan Shu of Shouchun also learned that the envoy was kidnapped by Lu Bu and sent to Xudu.

Yuan Shu was furious and threatened to break off relations with Lu Bu on the spot.

And he must first attack Cao Ang alone, and then destroy Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu's subordinates, all civil and military officials, spoke out to dissuade Yuan Shu from such crazy behavior.

At this time, Yuan Shu suddenly received a letter from Liu Biao of Jingzhou, asking Yuan Shu to join him and Zhang Xiu to attack Cao.

The last sentence of Liu Biao's letter read: Cao Cao coerced the emperor to order the princes, which was a wolf's ambition.

His son Cao Zixiu is even more impressive and is the son of Qilin.

Unless Cao Ang dies, we will be in trouble!.
