Chapter 416 Five bullets hit the bullseye

After being convinced that he had done something stupid, Cao Song decided to act immediately to stop the loss in time.

He grew up in the eunuch family, which is difficult to say in other aspects, but in terms of family survival and development, he is definitely a good hand.

So Cao Song immediately called the candidate who had been selected long ago to be Liu Bei's concubine—his youngest daughter from the first line, and explained the matter to his youngest daughter.

He said that Dad chose an indomitable man for you to be your lifelong support. This man is good enough and handsome enough. He is definitely the one in your heart. You must serve him seriously and properly, and you must not contradict him...

Cao Song explained a lot, and then wrote to Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to go out and discuss this matter with Liu Bei in person, tell Cao's views on this matter, and then propose to send a daughter to Liu Bei as a concubine. Liu Bei don't be disgusted.

In any case, if you are slow once, you can’t slow down a second time. If you miss something once, you will be punished by God and you will regret it.

After Cao Cao heard the news, he was very happy, but also a little nervous, and soon came to Ji County by the opportunity of a job report. After meeting with Liu Bei, Cao Cao told Liu Bei about the matter, and wanted to see Liu Bei's opinion.

Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and then he was delighted.

Sure enough, the previous set of operations was not meaningless. After letting the bullet fly for a while, it accurately hit the bullseye of the Cao family.

Ten rings!

"Meng De, based on our relationship, do you think this is necessary? Your son is my disciple, and you and I are inseparable. This relationship is already as solid as a rock. Do you need more?"

Liu Bei also wanted to be humble.

Cao Cao immediately shook his head.

"Xuande, I don't really care about it, and I firmly believe that the relationship with you is as solid as a rock, but the Cao family is very big, and there are many people who care about it. I don't care about it alone, and it doesn't mean that the entire Cao family doesn't care. So... I hope you don't dislike our humble Cao family."

"Why would I despise the Cao family? Why don't I come from weaving mats and selling shoes?"

Liu Bei stopped pretending, and immediately held Cao Cao's hand: "The Cao family gave me a lot of help during my journey and relieved me of many worries. It would be better to say that I wronged Cao's daughter-in-law to be my daughter." I am sorry for the Cao family."

"how come!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "If this is the case, it is Cao's honor!"

"It's an honor for me, too."

Liu Bei smiled and shook hands with Cao Cao tightly, and did not let go for a long time.

The first bullet hit the bull's-eye, and as Liu Bei expected, the second bullet soon hit the bull's-eye as well.

Xiahou Dun also arrived in Ji County the day after Cao Cao arrived in Ji County for his "report". After the work report was completed, he also met with Liu Bei in private and made a request to him.

The Xiahou family wants to betroth the family's prostitute daughter to Liu Bei as a concubine. I hope Liu Bei will not dislike the Xiahou family for having no status and power.

Other families have many things that the Xiahou family does not have, but the Xiahou family has a loyal heart, which means that Xiahou's officials are willing to die for Liu Bei.

They hope to gain Liu Bei's attention with their lives.

How could Liu Bei refuse?

So Liu Bei held Xiahou Dun's hand and comforted his low profile.

"The Xiahou family is the founding father of the Han Dynasty. The momentary prosperity and glory cannot represent eternity, and the momentary depression will not represent eternity. As long as the descendants work hard and are willing to work hard, who says that the descendants must not be as good as the ancestors who founded the mountain?"

Xiahou Dun was moved by this, and he held Liu Bei's hand tightly, tears streaming down his face.

After the two bullets hit the bull's-eye one after another, it didn't take long. That afternoon, the third bullet hit Zhen's bull's-eye.

The Zhen family is an old family that followed Liu Bei, and invested a lot of resources to support Liu Bei very early on. It should have been the first to ask Liu Bei for marriage.

But because there are still some old antiques in the family who think that they invested in Liu Bei very early and started with him in the infancy, and are not reconciled to not being able to obtain the status of Liu Bei's wife family, so Zhen Yan's request has been postponed by the family for many times.

The Zhen family has a certain style of fighting left and right. Several discussions have been held on this issue, but no conclusion has been reached each time.

Zhen Yan was very dissatisfied with this, and wrote many times asking the family to give up that insignificant thing and embrace Liu Bei with all their strength, otherwise it would be no good for the family to be preempted.

Because nothing like this had happened before, Zhen Yan could only be anxious.

It seems that other people also think that Liu Bei's endurance is very strong, and everyone is not in a hurry.

As a result, Liu Bei's sudden concubine completely changed everything.

Zhen Yan couldn't bear it anymore.

He sent his cronies to return to his hometown in Hebei as quickly as possible, and gave the family an ultimatum, demanding that the family immediately choose an outstanding daughter-in-law of the family to marry Liu Bei. Such a decision must be reached as quickly as possible.

If not, he would take his troops home and operate it himself, without those old antiques worrying about it!

Do you understand the significance of forming a deeper bond with Liu Bei at this moment?
Still clinging to the glorious fantasy of the past and unwilling to let go?

Still don't want a prostitute to be a concubine?

Times have changed!
With you group of insects, how can the Zhen family do well?

Therefore, without the approval of the family, Zhen Yan rushed to discuss this matter with Liu Bei because he heard about Cao Cao's actions, saying that the Zhen family also wanted to form a deeper relationship with Liu Bei, although it is a little It's late, but it shouldn't be too late, right?

Certainly not late, or even early.

Liu Bei chuckled, and accepted Zhen Yan's request. Zhen Yan made up his mind, and was really ready to send troops home to snatch people.

For insects, words are meaningless, only steel knives are meaningful. If the family is still unwilling to give up that meaningless entanglement, he will take the initiative.

The number one position that should have belonged to the Zhen family has already belonged to someone else amid endless entanglements, can this be tolerated?
News of the actions of Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun, and Zhen Yan spread quickly. As the news spread, Yan Zhong and Gai Xun couldn't sit still.

Before, Yan Wen wrote to him to discuss this matter.

Of course Yan Wen felt that this matter was necessary, but Liu Bei's other subordinates seemed to have not acted yet, so he thought he could wait a little longer and wait and see.

First, they followed Liu Bei relatively late, so they were not the first to contribute. Second, the family's daughter-in-law is a concubine, which is still a bit unpleasant after all.

If someone takes the lead, they will not be afraid.

As a result, the "gunfire" of Ji County rang out, and it was still three consecutive shots, and the three bullets hit the bull's-eye.

Three gunshots from Cao Cao, Xiahou Dun and Zhen Yan stunned Yan Zhong.

He didn't know that Yan Wen was still in Yizhou, but Yan Zhong was already in a panic.

Can't wait any longer, continue to wait, the day lily is cold!

So after Zhen Yan, Yan Zhong almost rushed to run, running all the way, came to Liu Bei, and conveyed the Yan family's request for Liu Bei's wholehearted entrustment.

Junhou, we need you.

All of that, with nothing reserved.

We were wrong to hesitate before, but now, we don't hesitate!

Liu Bei smiled, nodded, and accepted Yan Zhong's request gently.

The fourth bullet, hit.

Then Gai Xun, after hearing the news, Gai Xun didn't wait any longer.

There is nothing to wait, the matter has come to this point, it is right to act quickly, it is too late, what should Liu Bei do if he doubts his loyalty?
The fifth bullet, hit.
