Chapter 429 Cao Cao's Unsung Misfortune

"The emperor pardoned and said: Liu Bei, the governor of Bingzhou and Marquis of Lucheng, has made great contributions in fighting against the Xiongnu....Continuing his previous achievements, he specially entered Bingzhou Mu, Marquis of Liangxiang, and served Lucheng and Liangxiang counties."

Liu Bei finally decided to accept the imperial edict, and of course being able to marry Cai Yan was also one of the main reasons for Liu Bei's determination.

There are many beauties in Liu Bei's mansion, but apart from Diao Chan, who has a heart in the Han Dynasty, Huang Diewu, Yan Ruo'er, Jian Jue, Zhen Dao, etc. are all unknown. Liu Bei's famous generals and good ministers gather, of course, the quality of beauties must be compared with superior.

Taiwei Ma Rixun was received by Xun Yu, but Cai Gu asked Liu Bei to send someone to Chang'an to ask for marriage as soon as possible.

Cai Gu had heard that Cai Yan's ex-husband, Wei Zhongdao, was in poor health, but even though he had tuberculosis, Cai Yan had to marry him. Fortunately, the emperor ordered the marriage, and Cai Yong reluctantly agreed. Cai Gu was healthier than his elder brother Cai Yong. You have more foresight. You can see that Jinyang is full of talents, the people are united, and full of vitality. Who dares to say that Liu Bei is not the next Liu Xiu, and Cai Yan is not the next Yin Lihua?
Liu Bei personally received Cai Gu, and Ma Rizun was not dissatisfied with such an upside-down standard. First of all, Xun Yu was Xun Shuang's nephew, and he bowed his head in front of Xun Shuang. The female general married Liu Bei, which was beneficial for the Kansai gentry to control the Chang'an court.

In fact, after Yang Ci's death, only Zhao Qi was left with discernment among the Kansai gentry. As for Ma Rizun, Yang Biao, Yang Zan, and Shi Sun Rui, they were still immature.

As Dong Zhuo handed over more and more important positions in the imperial court to the Kansai gentry, the Kansai gentry felt that their spring was coming, and the days of the Kanto gentry covering the sky with one hand were coming to an end.

It's no wonder that the Kansai gentry have shallow eyesight. In order to fight against the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family of Hongnong occupied most of the resources in Kansai with their own strength. Sui, Jia Xu, etc., either died for the country or were suppressed and unable to get ahead.

The raising of thieves in Kansai has cost a part of the gentry, and it has also severely divided the Kansai gentry. Only famous generals who fight can gain a foothold in the court.

Therefore, during the period when Dong Zhuo was in power, only one of the Kansai gentry came out to oppose Dong Zhuo, and the rest, such as Tian Jing, Huangfu Jianshou, Yang Zan, and Shi Sun Rui, all publicly supported Dong Zhuo. The ten-year-old Zhao Qi also accepted the post of servant, and as Ma Rong's sister-in-law, he went to appease Yuan Shu in Nanyang who was close at hand, and accepted his proposal that "cousin Sun Jian be the governor of Yuzhou and the general who seeks captives".

Yuan Kai married Ma Rong's daughter, which shows that Zhao Qi is a figure in Yuan Shu's grandfather's generation, and he would appease Yuan Shu.

That night when Liu Mansion had a big banquet, Cao Cao looked at the brightly lit Liu Mansion outside the courtyard and knew that Liu Bei would not be able to send troops to the Central Plains in a short time, so he sighed and said to Cao Hong beside him: "Zi Lian, go back tonight and have a rest, tomorrow morning we will Just leave Jinyang and go back to Hanoi!"

Cao Hong asked, "Aren't we going to wait for Liu Bei to send troops?"

Cao Cao said with some taste: "A high-ranking official with a rich salary and a beautiful woman in his arms, will you refuse?"

Cao Hong's family is wealthy, so he naturally knows how powerful Ruanxiang is. If he hadn't envied the majesty of commanding thousands of troops since he was a child, he might not be a soldier this time.

Cao Cao nodded: "No one wants to? Liu Bei is really lucky to be able to marry a woman like Zhaoji."

Cao Cao made friends with Cai Yong, especially after Dong Zhuo came to Beijing, Cao Cao made friends with Cai Yong in order to get closer to Dong Zhuo deliberately, because Dong Zhuo loved to see Cai Yong, so Cao Cao was also fascinated by Cai Yan's demeanor, but unfortunately Boss Cao liked it more Mature women, wives, Lolita Cai Yan just amazed him.

The next day, Cao Cao got up early in the morning and went straight to the outside of Jinyang City, just in time for Chen Dao to go out for an expedition. Apart from the things in the infantry drills, Chen Dao trained his troops more like the white carpenter soldiers, and even the equipment imitated the white carpenter soldiers. Chen Dao's identity played a big role.

Every time Chen Dao goes to serve as a general, the general will leave the best weapons for Chen Dao, and the special weapons requested by Chen Dao will be made and sent as soon as possible.

Chen Dao, the former leader of the Baimu army, who knows when he will be Liu Bei's personal commander again, if he puts Liu Bei in front of Liu Bei at a critical moment and asks who can't do it, who can bear it?
Cao Cao looked at Chen Dao's neatly marching queue and his distinctive armor, and suddenly remembered that he almost died in the camp roar when he went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers. My subordinates should also be so elite.

Cao Cao turned to Cao Hong and said, "Zi Lian, I remember that when I go back, I must remind me to rectify military discipline and strengthen the building of armor."

"Here!"

Although Cao Hong said so, looking at Chen Dao who was a little familiar, he suddenly felt that they might just be fakes. After all, Liu Bei's elite were all in Jinyang City, and they were just recruits.

Jinyang, Liu Mansion.

"My lord, the envoy of the imperial court has decided to leave Jinyang the day after tomorrow, and the tribute that the lord asked us to prepare is also being prepared one after another. I guarantee that it will be ready tomorrow."

Xun Yu was reporting the itinerary of Ma Rixun and his party, and when he finished, he asked, "The court envoy is no longer a concern. The Xiongnu's envoy for peace, my lord, how do you receive it?"

"The Xiongnu sent people to beg for peace while confronting me. I think they are delaying time. As long as Huang Zhong is ready, he can give the Huns a hard time."

Liu Bei snorted coldly, nomads are like dog skin plasters, as long as you have a problem, they will stick to you, and you can't get rid of it. Liu Bei doesn't want the Huns to have another riot when they send troops to the Central Plains.

Xun Yu coughed lightly: "My lord, you gave Huang Zhonglang the order to wait for the opportunity. Yanmen and Wuyuan are short of rations, so it is very likely that Huang Zhonglang will withdraw his troops. Once the infantry withdraws, it will be very useful to use Huang Zhonglang's cavalry to deal with the Xiongnu." risk."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Soldiers? You can withdraw, or you can withdraw in a roundabout way. As long as the Huns can't stand it, my [-] new troops will teach them how to behave at any time."

As Liu Bei's status became more stable, he spoke more and more casually. Of course, no one dared to question him. On the contrary, many words became popular words in Jinyang, such as teaching to be a man.

"Here! Does someone know what to do?"

Xun Yu said.

Seeing that Xun Yu wanted to resign, Liu Bei called to Xun Yu and said, "Maybe let Yu Fuluo go to meet the Huns envoy and see what Yu Fuluo thinks? After all, he will still be the master of the Huns in the future!"

"My lord, I'll arrange it here."

When Xun Yu was leaving, he happened to meet Xi Zhicai who was in a hurry, and Xi Zhicai just nodded to Xun Yu in a hurry and passed by.

In such a hurry, will there be another major event in Jinyang?Xun Yu thought so.

"My lord, Cao Cao left without saying goodbye."

The news that Xi Zhicai brought was indeed explosive, Liu Bei was taken aback: "Didn't you make an appointment to meet Cao Mengde this afternoon?"

Xi Zhicai nodded: "But our people encountered Cao Cao leading people out of the city early in the morning. My lord, Cao Cao is also a hero! Unlike Feng Xiao, who is just a counselor, we have many strategies to deal with counselors. We can let a hero leave. Chances are he will definitely become the lord's trouble in the future."

Liu Bei also nodded, Cao Cao let Liu Bei out of Xudu, and the three kingdoms came together, Liu Xuan let Liu Xiu out of Luoyang, and Liu Xiu unified the Han.

The thing of letting the tiger go back to the mountain cannot be done, but it is not suitable to do it in Jinyang. After all, many people in Jinyang know that Cao Cao is now hiding his strength and biding his time, farming to develop the economy, and recruiting talents. The matter of killing talents cannot be left to him body.

"My lord, if you have doubts, I will arrange this matter, and I will definitely do it seamlessly, so that my lord will not be contaminated."

Xi Zhicai saw Liu Bei's worry and assured him.

How many people in the novel said this, but in the end they couldn't eat mutton and caused a commotion, but Xizhi is different!

Liu Bei nodded with difficulty: "It must be done neatly?"

"Here."
