Chapter 172

During this period, what happened most to attract the attention of the world was undoubtedly the battle between Chen Chu's Northern Army and Cao Cao and Yuan Shao and the war in Guanzhong.

In the eyes of the world, although the Northern Army is brave and good at fighting, the chance of victory against the two major lords is very small. It is normal for the world to have this view. Although the two major lords still have not broken through Huguan and Jiguan, the absolute gap in military strength makes them break through these two lords only a matter of time. There seems to be no suspense in this matter.

The war in Guanzhong also attracted the attention of the world. What everyone did not expect was that Ma Teng and Han Sui's Xiliang army actually joined Chen Chu's side. What the world did not expect was that Dong Zhuo's army, who was known as a good war, was wiped out in just a month! The 260,000 troops were destroyed!

Dong Zhuo's destruction surprised the world, and both civilians and gentry were happy about this. This situation made people sigh that Dong Zhuo was really a failure in being a human being!

"Wen Ji! Wen Ji! Good news!" At noon that day, Cai Yong came back from outside and shouted excitedly as soon as he entered the house.

Cai Wenji walked out to greet her father. Seeing her father's excited look, she couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Father, why do you make you so happy?" Cai Wenji was really surprised, because during this period, Cai Yong was very worried because Wang Yun and others were constantly looking for trouble. He frowned and had long lost his smile, but today he was so happy!

"Wenji, do you know? Dong Zhuo is over!" Cai Yong said something stupid.

Cai Wenji was stunned for a moment, then showed a surprised look, "Father, are you talking about the Dong Zhuo who hijacked the emperor?!"

Cai Yong nodded heavily. At this time, the two had already arrived in the hall. Cai's mother, who had come out of the back hall, bowed to Cai Yong dignifiedly, "Master, you are back."

"Mrs. I have a good news to tell you!" Cai Yong looked like a child who offered treasures. Then Cai Yong said to Cai's mother what he said to Cai Wenji just now.

"What's going on with this, Master?" Cai's mother couldn't help asking after being happy. This question was also what Cai Wenji wanted to ask.

Cai Yong calmed down his excitement and replied: "More than a month ago, a Northern Expedition Army suddenly moved south from Shangjun. At the same time, Ma Teng and Han Sui's Western Liang army came out of Longyou to advance eastward. Two large armies attacked Dong Zhuo from two directions, and Dong Zhuo's entire army was wiped out. Dong Zhuo himself is said to have been captured alive by the Northern Expedition Army!"

Cai Yong said it very briefly, no wonder he only heard about the general news, and he was not clear about the specific situation at all.

As soon as he heard the name of the Zhengbei Army, Cai Wenji's eyes lit up suddenly, and then a dazed expression appeared on her beautiful pretty face.

At this moment, Cai Yong did not notice his daughter's abnormality and was still talking excitedly. However, Cai's mother, who was standing beside her, noticed her daughter's expression.

Cai Yong became more and more excited as he spoke, and it took him a while to calm down.

At this time, Cai's mother asked, "What will the General of the Cavalry plan to deal with Dong Zhuo?"

Cai Yong waved his hand and said with emotion: "Mrs. I'm wrong. Chen Chu is no longer a general of the cavalry. He has been appointed as the general in charge of the country's troops by the Supreme Master! In addition, Chen Chu cannot decide how to deal with Dong Zhuo, but should decide by the Supreme Master!"

Cai's mother couldn't help but feel shocked and exclaimed: "General!? I didn't expect that he was already an extremely minister at such a young age!" As she said that, Cai's mother glanced at her dazed daughter intentionally or unintentionally.

At this time, Cai Wenji frowned slightly, as if she was worried, and she really didn't know what she was thinking.

Cai Yong said a lot today. He kept talking for half an hour before he stood up and said to Cai’s mother and Cai Wenji: “I want to go to the study to write something, don’t disturb me!” Cai Yong has a habit of thinking that whenever he is excited or happy, he wants to write something to express his feelings.

Cai's mother stood up and smiled and said, "Master, go, we won't disturb you."

Cai Yong nodded, then looked at him...

He turned to Cai Wenji. However, Cai Wenji was still sitting blankly at this time, and seemed to have not heard what Cai Yong said.

Cai Wenji's expression and behavior at this time were very abnormal. Cai Yong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then he showed a sudden expression. Although Cai Yong was not as careful as Cai's mother, he was also a meticulous Grand Secretary. Of course, he could guess Cai Wenji's little thoughts.

Without disturbing Cai Wenji who was in a daze, Cai Yong went straight to the study.

After Cai Yong left, Cai's mother sat down gently next to Cai Wenji and looked at Cai Wenji with a loving look on her face.

"Wen Ji!", Cai's mother called out softly.

Cai Wenji came back to her senses and saw her mother staring at her, her cheeks turned red involuntarily, and her eyes quickly avoided her mother's gaze. Cai Wenji's appearance at this time was like a little girl who had discovered a little secret by her parents. She was so cute!

Cai’s mother couldn’t help but smile, then held Cai Wenji’s slender hand and asked softly: “Wenji, are you thinking about the cavalry, oh, he is now a general?”

Cai Wenji's face turned redder and her head lowered.

"Wenji, don't be embarrassed to talk to your mother! Tell me everything I want to do!" Cai's mother stroked Cai Wenji's black and smooth hair and said warmly.

"Mother!" Cai Wenji couldn't help but call her softly, and at the same time she threw herself into Cai's mother's arms.

Cai Wenji buried Zhen's head in Cai's mother's arms, and after a while, she said quietly: "Although he humiliated me at the poetry meeting, I don't hate him!"

After a pause, Cai Wenji continued to reveal her memories: "His iron spirit makes me feel what a real man should be like! Compared with Wei Zhongdao's so-called talents, they are not as good as men at all!"

Cai’s mother smiled and asked, “So, from that day on, our Wen Ji’s heart was filled with his figure?”

When Cai Wenji heard her mother's question, she couldn't help but show a hint of shame, but nodded gently.

Cai's mother paused and said, "Although I have never seen this general, I believe that our Wen Ji's vision will not be wrong. But Wen Ji, have you really decided?"

Cai Wenji bit her red lips and looked at Cai’s mother, then nodded solemnly, "Mother, I have decided! No matter what the result is, I am willing to follow him!"

Cai’s mother looked at Cai Wenji, and after a while, she said kindly: “Wenji, neither mother nor your father will object to your decision! But have you ever thought about how to deal with the problem with Wei Zhongdao? Although your father has never responded positively to the proposal of the Wei family, almost everyone thinks that you will marry into the Wei family. If we regret the marriage, we are afraid that it will cause considerable damage to your reputation!”

Cai Wenji lightly raised her eyebrows, paused for a moment, and then replied firmly: "Mother, my daughter has decided!"

Then Cai Wenji showed a leisurely look and continued: "My daughter once thought about the problem her mother said, and therefore tried to forget him! But his shadow became clearer and clearer in her daughter's mind, and her daughter could not forget him at all! Only then did the daughter realize that her daughter would probably not be able to forget him in her life!" As she said that, Cai Wenji's charming cheeks could not help but show a deep affection on her.

Seeing Cai Wenji's expression at this moment, Cai's mother couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Cai’s mother looked at Cai Wenji’s eyes and saw only a sense of firmness and deep love. Cai’s mother couldn’t help but be surprised. She really didn’t understand why her daughter had only seen the general and had such deep love?

Cai’s mother didn’t say anything. Because she knew her daughter’s personality, once Cai Wenji decided on something, no one could change it!

"Wenji, since you have decided, then I will ask your father to find a suitable time to officially turn off the Wei family's affairs!"

"Mother!" Cai Wenji was moved and couldn't help but squeeze into Cai's mother's arms.

Cai’s mother stroked Cai Wenji’s hair, sighed, and said, “I hope Wenji, your choice is the right one!”

In fact, Cai’s mother hopes that Cai Wenji can marry a relatively ordinary person...
