Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 240: Qingguang Sword

Xi Zhicai received Yuan Shao's instructions and walked to the table next to Zhang Sui and knelt down.

The maid brought tea and cakes.

Xi Zhicai thanked him, then smiled and nodded at Zhang Sui beside him, saying: "Young general, you are so young."

When Yuan Shao heard what Xi Zhicai said, he laughed and said, "His name is Zhang Sui, courtesy name Bocheng, and he is a disciple of Ding Jianyang, the former governor of Bingzhou."

Originally, Yuan Shao did not like Zhang Sui very much.

But now, Zhang Sui has made great achievements one after another.

What made Yuan Shao most satisfied was this time: directly wiping out all the aristocratic families in Wuji County.

Even the Zhen family donated such a large amount of money.

It can be imagined that even the Zhen family was shaken to its foundation.

It is basically impossible to rise again.

Most of the money earned by the wealthy and powerful families in Wuji County has been taken away.

There is nothing left worthy of my attention.

At least for a long time to come.

After he defeats Gongsun Zan and unifies Hebei, he will head south to sweep across the world.

Thinking of the task assigned to Zhang Sui to capture the Zhen family, which he had accomplished so successfully, and that he had also captured the remnants of the Black Mountain Army in Jingjing County without any effort, Yuan Shao smiled and said, "This child is the fiancé of my third daughter."

"This time when I come back, I will pick an auspicious date for them to get married."

Xi Zhicai was not the only one who was shocked by Yuan Shao's words.

Even Zhang Sui himself was shocked.

What's wrong with Yuan Shao?

He actually took the initiative to announce his marriage to the third young lady Yuan Mi.

Military supervisors Ju Shou, Zhang He, Sui Gu, Zhao Rui and others were all unable to suppress their excitement.

Finally, Zhang Sui won Yuan Shao's recognition with his outstanding performance.

However, they did not dare to show it and just bowed to Zhang Sui.

Xun Chen, Xu You and Guo Tu all looked gloomy.

They don’t even know about this!

If they had known earlier, they would have stopped it!
Especially Xu You, his teeth were almost broken.

Before this, his son Xu Ze had asked him to ask Yuan Shao to marry this third daughter.

He originally thought that in today's Hebei, no one was more suitable than his own son to marry the third daughter.

First of all, he is from the Xu family in Nanyang.

If Yuan Shao wants to go south in the future, he will have to rely on his own strength.

Secondly, he was Yuan Shao's childhood friend and had accompanied him in his battles.

His son and Yuan Shao's third daughter were a perfect match.

However, no one expected that Yuan Shao would directly betroth his third daughter to Zhang Sui!
Moreover, it was announced directly!

Now that this has been made public, how can I propose marriage?

We can't let Yuan Shao take back what he just said, right?
As a local overlord, how can Yuan Shao maintain his prestige in the future if he easily takes back his words?
Yuan Shao saw Xi Zhicai was shocked and said with a smile: "Although this kid is young, he is quite capable as a disciple of Ding Jianyang."

"He followed my general Yan Liang to destroy the left wing of the Xiongnu and killed Liu Bao, the Left Wise King."

"This time, he single-handedly broke into the remnant of the Black Mountain Army and killed the Black Mountain Army leader Zhang Yan, capturing more than 10,000 Black Mountain Army soldiers without a single drop of blood."

"And put down the rebellion in Wuji County."

Xi Zhicai: “.”

He thought of someone--

Cao Ang, the eldest son of his lord Cao Cao.

Lord Cao Cao has always placed high hopes on his eldest son Cao Ang, believing that no one in the young generation of the world can match him.

Now it seems that he is quite inferior to the fiancé of Yuan Shao’s third legitimate daughter.

However, Xi Zhicai did not dwell on it any further.

Now is not the time to get hung up.

Xi Zhicai quickly raised his teacup, toasted Yuan Shao from a distance and said, "Congratulations, Lord Yuan, on your happy marriage!"

Yuan Shao also returned a toast.

Afterwards, Yuan Shao and Xi Zhicai talked about what Cao Cao had done in Yanzhou over the past year.

Xi Zhicai had great respect for Cao Cao.

When talking about how Cao Cao used the Empty City Strategy to scare off Lu Bu in Puyang City, his face was full of pride.

Yuan Shao, however, did not take it seriously.

It's just a matter of defeating Lu Bu.

To Yuan Shao, Lu Bu was nothing but a piece of shit.

Before, when Lu Bu came to him, he was a general.

If it weren't for Lu Bulu's reckless ignorance, allowing his men to burn, kill and loot everywhere in Yecheng, harming the interests of the aristocratic families, I would not have thought of turning against him.

I even thought about letting my eldest son marry his daughter. Unfortunately, Lu Bu was too disappointing.

In the end, he ordered Yan Liang and Wen Chou to lead the army to drive Lu Bu directly out of Hebei.

Only then did Lu Bu flee to Yanzhou.

Lu Bu, who was beaten into a helpless situation by himself, rushed to Yanzhou, but defeated Cao Cao and almost destroyed him.

Yuan Shao sneered secretly.

Is Cao Cao, such a person, worthy of being called his “childhood friend”?
It's just my dog.

Every inch of land Cao Cao conquers now belongs to him!
I just let him keep it temporarily.

After we unify Hebei, let him surrender on his own.

Yuan Shao glanced at Ju Su, who was looking at Xi Zhicai with a wary look not far away, and shook his head secretly.

Although Ju Shou was very talented, he was too cautious and treated everyone as an enemy.

Cao Cao is such a low-rate guy.

Even if he lets himself take the blame, can he really turn the tables?
Yuan Shao just smiled as Xi Zhicai praised Cao Cao's heroic actions.

After a long time, the banquet began.

At the banquet, Yuan Shao was in a good mood and sang and danced in the hall.

Now that Cao Cao has defeated Lu Bu, he is about to unify Hebei.

Yuan Shao seemed to see himself about to march south and sweep across the world.

At the banquet, Yuan Shao called a few more singing girls and asked Zhang He, Qian Zhao, Sui Gu, Zhao Rui and others to take them back.

Zhang Sui did not choose.

After the banquet, Yuan Shao asked him to go to the backyard to meet the third young lady Yuan Mi. Then Yuan Shao, supported by several maids, went to rest in a drunken state.

Ju Su did not get close to Zhang Sui.

He had discussed with Tian Feng before and wanted Zhang Sui to set up the fourth faction.

If we get too close to him, this fourth ranking won’t hold up.

Ju Su left alone.

Zhang Sui was the last one to walk out of the hall to meet the third young lady, Yuan Mi.

But at the threshold of the hall, Xi Zhicai did not follow the maid to visit the residence, but stopped there.

Seeing Zhang Sui coming over, Xi Zhicai smiled and said, "Young General, can we chat for a while?"

Zhang Sui made a gesture of invitation.

The two of them walked out of the governor's mansion and stopped in an open space on the left side of the door.

Xi Zhicai drew the sword from his waist and handed it to Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui looked at Xi Zhicai suspiciously.

Xi Zhicai pointed at his sword towards Zhang Sui.

Zhang Sui took the sword and slowly drew it out.

Cold light flashes.

There is a faint sound of a dragon roaring.

Zhang Sui praised: "Good sword!"

Xi Zhicai laughed and said, "This sword is called the Qinggang Sword. It is Cao Gong's personal sword. I spent a fortune to find black iron stone to make it. I met the young general today and felt that we were destined to be together, so I gave it to you as a gift."

Originally, this Qinggang sword was given to Xi Zhicai by Cao Cao.

Cao Cao no longer has much money.

This battle against Lu Bu in Yanzhou left Cao Cao with exhausted food and supplies, and his men and horses were exhausted.

Even so, Cao Cao still rewarded a group of ministers.

Xi Zhicai was among them.

Cao Cao could only give his personal sword to Qinggang Sword.

As for other rewards, Cao Cao directly led his soldiers to dig up some royal tombs in Yanzhou that were thousands or even hundreds of years old, and took out the burial objects inside.

He didn't want it.

Now, Xi Zhicai felt a little regretful.

It’s not that he is greedy for money.

But he is the future husband of Yuan Shao's third legitimate daughter, who is so young and easy to fool at first glance.

If we can establish a good relationship with him, it will be more convenient to ask him to help persuade Yuan Shao not to go to the capital to support the emperor, especially not to bring the emperor to Yecheng!

A warrior.

No matter how strong the force is.

Still so young.

None of them have any intelligence.

It's obviously easier than lobbying others!
Moreover, it can be seen that Yuan Shao is very protective of his third daughter's fiancé.

Starting with him will obviously achieve twice the result with half the effort.
