Chapter 340 What to do now? Of course, marry her~~~
"Meet Cai Sikong."

"No need to be polite, General."

Cai Yong was a man of culture. After entering the court, he did not know how to adapt himself. He spoke the truth as he pleased. This undoubtedly offended people, so he was convicted and exiled, and he had to hide from place to place for more than ten years.

It was not until Dong Zhuo came to power that he was summoned back to the court and appointed as Sikong.

After some greetings, Chen Ran invited Cai Yong to take a seat.

Cai Yong didn't waste any words and went straight to the point, "Excuse me, General, is my daughter in your camp?"

"She is indeed in the camp." Chen Ran did not hide anything and immediately explained that he had accidentally saved Cai Yan when he was raiding the bandits' lair.

Since the Wei family in Hedong refused to accept her, Cai Yan had nowhere to go.

Fearing that he would be in danger if he wandered outside, they took him into the camp to provide him with shelter.

"I'm glad you're okay." Cai Yong was obviously relieved.

In this chaotic world, it is very dangerous for a girl to be away from home.

"I have already written to the Wei family and told them about this matter." Cai Yong said, "The engagement letter has been returned, and the marriage certificate will be delivered soon."

Cai Yan went to get married, but was rejected by Wei.

In this case, breaking off the engagement is inevitable.

What Chen Ran was confused about was, why are you telling me all this?
Then Cai Yong said, "Look for an auspicious day, General, and ask the middleman to come to your house to propose marriage."

"and many more."

Chen Ran was very surprised. "What does Sikong mean?"

Cai Yong calmly responded, "My daughter has been in the general's camp for many days. Apart from marrying the general, is there anywhere else for her to go?"

"But we treated each other with courtesy, and nothing happened."

"That's why." Cai Yong finally smiled. "I just allowed the general to come and propose marriage. Otherwise..."

If she had been killed in the camp, Cai Yong would at most come to redeem her, but would never marry her off.

Although there was no Chen-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in those days, the concept of chastity had already existed.

A girl from a wealthy family was trapped in a military camp full of men for unknown reasons.

Not to mention that Wei wanted to cancel the engagement, Cai Yong had no choice.

"General, do you think that my daughter is not worthy of you?"

"That's not the case." Chen Ran waved his hand. "It's just that I and Madam Cai are indeed innocent."

"well."

Cai Yong smiled and stood up. "May I see my daughter?"

"Of course, it is only right for Sikong to take the person away."

Cai Yong said nothing and went straight to find Cai Yan.

Cai Yan was from a typical scholarly family and a lady from a noble family.

It is enough for her to be matched with a son of an aristocratic family. To be honest, marrying a warrior like Chen Ran, who was born a thief, is marrying down.

But there is no way. Everyone knows that Cai Yan has stayed in Chen Ran’s military camp for a long time. What else can she do if she doesn’t marry him? Will the Cai family and Cai Yan still have face?
This is an era where face is more important than life.

No one knew what Cai Yong said to Cai Yan, but at dinner time, Cai Yan, who had been hiding in her tent and would only ask servants and maids to help when something happened, actually came to Chen Ran's tent on her own initiative.

Jia Xu, who was about to have dinner with Chen Ran, stood up immediately, kicked Zhang Liao who was at a loss, and said to Chen Ran with a smile, "My lord, I am going to inspect the camp."

Before leaving, he bowed to Cai Yan.

Cai Yan returned the gift gracefully. After they left, she took the initiative to kneel down beside Chen Ran and served him food and poured him wine.

Chen Ran was not a novice, so he naturally understood what this meant.

It was obvious that she accepted Cai Yong's proposal and now began to regard herself as his wife.

Fortunately, Chen Zihou is already a veteran, and is not one of those young people who have just traveled through time and are still at a loss and blushing.

He accepted the service with all his heart, and while they were eating and drinking, he did not instill any modern theories into Cai Yan, let alone use pop music to impress her.

Chen Ran couldn't help laughing when he thought of his fellow time travelers who went to ancient times and used pop music to pick up girls.

Not to mention such distant eras as the Qin and Han dynasties, even if we go back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, what were those ladies thinking when they sang "I love you, you love me"?

"What are you laughing at, General?"

Seeing Chen Ran laughing, Cai Yan asked curiously.

"Of course I am happy." Chen Ran's words were as sweet as honey, and he said it without paying. "I am so happy to be able to marry you. I can't suppress the joy in my heart."

Cai Yan's pretty face flushed, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"I would like to ask Wang Situ to be the middleman and choose an auspicious day to propose marriage. Is that okay?"

Dong Zhuo also knew that relying solely on force to control the court would not last long.

Therefore, he also attached importance to the role of civil officials.

Whether it was recalling Cai Yong or re-employing Wang Yun, they were all manifestations of this trend of thought.

After breaking with the aristocratic families, he naturally could not use people from them. Fortunately, there were still talented people in the Han Dynasty.

Cai Yan's pretty face turned even redder, and she said in a whisper, "Everything is up to the general~~~"

After dinner, Cai Yan left.

After having a good meal and a good drink, Chen Ran first inspected the camp.

After all, in ancient military camps, if there was a fire or even a camp whistle after dark, it would be a fatal matter, so patrolling the camp was essential.

After finishing all these, he went to look for Empress Dowager He (now the daughter of the He family) in a swagger.

After discussing several big deals worth over 100 million yuan, he went to sleep.

Although she was called the empress dowager, she was actually only in her early thirties.

In the modern world, they still call themselves little girls.

Well, the little girl who has relaxed a lot~~~
A few days later, Chen Ran came to visit Wang Yun, the Minister of State, with gifts.

Hearing that he was asked to be a matchmaker, Wang Yun agreed with a smile on his face.

After seeing Chen Ran off, his smile faded, and he sneered, "Traitor!"

Cao Cao, who had been hiding before, strode over and said, "This man is the right-hand man of Dong the thief. If we can win him over, it will be of great use." Wang Yun nodded and said, "Meng De, follow me to get the Seven Star Sword."

After a few days, Chen Ran impatiently got rid of He's entanglement and went out.

There was no way. His Ruyi Jingu Bang was too powerful. He, who had tasted the sweetness of it, began to actively pester him.

Doing too much physical work can be very tiring.

"Lord."

Jia Xu took the initiative to come over and said, "Something happened in the city."

"Oh?" Chen Ran raised his eyebrows. "Tell me about it."

"The Commander of the Army, Cao Cao, Cao Mengde, used the opportunity of presenting the knife to assassinate the Grand Tutor."

Chen Ran immediately asked, "Is it done?"

"It didn't work."

"Where is the person? Has he been arrested?"

"He ran away from the city, but a warrant has been issued for his arrest."

"Heh~~~"

Chen Ran chuckled, "Since he ran out of the city, he can't be caught."

He did not go to deal with Cao Cao in advance because he could not work under Dong Zhuo forever, and he needed the Guandong coalition to deal with Dong Zhuo.

Only in this way can you have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Wang Yun worked very hard as a matchmaker, and all the procedures were completed quickly, and the day of the actual wedding arrived.

On this day, Chen Ran held a grand banquet at his residence in Luoyang City and invited everyone to watch the ceremony.

There is no doubt that Dong Zhuo came as well.

Everyone was toasting each other, talking and laughing.

Before the banquet ended, Chen Ran found Dong Zhuo and asked, "Grandmaster, I heard that the General of the Household failed to defeat the Baibo bandits?"

The General of the Central Army here refers to Niu Fu. He was ordered to attack the Baibo bandits in Hedong. Unfortunately, not only did he fail to win the battle, but he was defeated by the Baibo bandits one after another, losing a lot of face.

Dong Zhuo's expression remained unchanged. "Humph, you can't even beat a small Baibo bandit. You are really useless."

The Baibo bandits had an army of over 100,000 men, and they roamed the counties of Hedong and Taiyuan. They were also connected with the Xiongnu, so they were no small force.

"Master, I am willing to go and fight the enemy."

"Oh?"

Dong Zhuo narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Ran. "Can you succeed?"

"I would like to issue a military order!"

"Okay! Then you go and defeat the Baibo bandits!"

When Li Ru returned to the Grand Tutor's Mansion and learned about this, he hurried to ask, "Grand Tutor, you can't let Chen Zihou go to Hedong!"

"Why?"

"This person has great ambitions. If he stays away from the Grand Master, he will become a disaster in the long run!"

"What should we do with the Baibo bandits?" Now that Dong Zhuo was in control of the imperial court, the imperial court's troubles naturally became his troubles, and suppressing the bandits was one of them.

The Baibo bandits in Hedong were too close to Luoyang and posed too great a threat, so they had to be eliminated.

"This"

Li Ru was also a little embarrassed.

The Baibo bandits who frequently harassed Luoyang had to be eliminated, but the Xiliang army was not up to the task and Niu Fu was no match for them.

If we send Lu Bu and the Bingzhou soldiers, it would be like letting a tiger return to the mountains, which would be no different from letting Chen Ran go.

"If this is the case, their logistics and food supplies should be strictly controlled."

"It's natural."

Chen Ran is in high spirits on his wedding night.

After all, she was the famous Cai Wenji, and he was very interested in famous beauties in history.

The Ruyi Golden Cudgel displayed its magical power, and it moved around and charged in all directions. No matter whether they were talented women or beautiful women, they were all killed and their armors were stripped off. They were unable to close their arms and sweat.

Cao Cao fled back to his hometown and began to recruit soldiers and horses to prepare to eliminate Dong Zhuo by force.

His family is a family of officials. His father was a general and earned hundreds of millions of wealth.

With this money, he quickly raised an army.

At the same time, he also sent many messengers to contact powerful families in various places, preparing to jointly raise an army to deal with Dong Zhuo.

When the world was in turmoil, Chen Ran had already led his troops out of Luoyang and headed straight for Hedong.

He did not have many soldiers and horses, including auxiliary troops, there were less than 20,000 soldiers.

However, there are many elite troops, and the main force is the elite field army of the Han Dynasty.

Faced with the government troops coming again to attack, the various units of the Baibo Army, which had defeated Niu Fu's Xiliang army not long ago, all showed contempt.

They gathered their troops and prepared to take advantage of the terrain to fight Chen Ran.

Unexpectedly, Chen Ran appointed Zhang Liao as the general and led his troops to confront the Baibo Army.

However, he took thousands of elite troops with him and quietly took a detour to head straight for the Baibo Army's old camp.

This was Chen Ran's usual strategic approach in fighting wars. During a war, he would first raid the old village to shake the morale of the troops.

Many of his soldiers were from the Baibo Army and were familiar with the internal affairs of the Baibo Army and the nearby geographical environment.

Without any hindrance, they found the old camp where the defenses were weakened.

The ensuing battle was no surprise at all.

The elite soldiers raided the old camp, captured countless prisoners and seized countless supplies.

He also deliberately drove the defeated soldiers to the front line to report the news.

When the morale of the Baibo bandits on the front line was shaken, he attacked from behind and cooperated with Zhang Liao to attack from both sides and defeated the Baibo bandits!
