After the man in black retreated, Qiao's father frowned and pondered, Yuan Shu! Their family had already placed bets and could not bet them all.

After all, there is a possibility!

As for the other princes, there were only Yuan Shao, Lu Bu and Cao Cao in the world.

When Qiao's father thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh deeply. Their Qiao family was not as good as other major families and their talents were withered.

The eldest brother Qiao Rui has already defected to Yuan Shu. Even if Yuan Shao becomes the overlord in the future, he is all from the Yuan clan, and at least he will not pursue anything.

The remaining two princes Cao Cao and Lu Bu! Between the two, he fell into deep thought.

Until a while, Qiao's father said quietly: "Where are you here, go and call Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao."

promise!

After hearing this, the servant outside the door bent down respectfully and ran towards the back garden.

"Miss~Second Miss, the head of the family is invited."

.....

study.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao saluted their father with respect.

"Meet my father."

Looking at his two daughters, Father Qiao shook his head and sighed, waved his hand to signal, and even made the servants outside the study door alert outside.

"If today the heroes compete and the princes are raging, your uncle Qiao Rui will serve under Yuan Shu's tent, you must know that."

Hearing his father's words, Da Qiao nodded respectfully and said, "Father, my daughter knows."

Looking at his well-educated eldest daughter, Qiao's father nodded with relief and sighed: "Your uncle's family has bets under Yuan Shu, so it's time for our lineage to place bets."

As if it had been expected, Da Qiao was not sad at all, only Xiao Qiao's eyes trembled. She knew that her father was going to give them away after saying this.

"Although Sun Ce was called the little overlord of Jiangdong, he was still alive. Jiangdong was too small. So what if King Yuan Shu of Qi was defeated?"

"Who will fall in Shouchun, Yangzhou? Cao Mengde's strength is far stronger than Sun Ce, who has not yet been pacified in Lianjiangdong."

"And Liu Biao, a Jingzhou man, could not stand up."

Qiao's father said quietly, Sun Ce almost captured most of Jiangdong, and it was not that he had seized the opportunity to attack Jingzhou. Unfortunately, only Jingzhou general Huang Zu blocked the proud navy of Jiangdong, and there was no progress in several wars.

After hearing this, a sad look flashed in her eyes, but the grace of many years of family raising made her know that women are just tools for marriage in this era, and in troubled times.

"What my father means?"

Da Qiao seemed to have predicted his future and couldn't help but speak indifferently, while Xiao Qiao was a little scared and just held his sister's arm.

This scene hurt Qiao's father, but he had no choice but to sigh and wave his hand, "Lu Bu, the princes in the world, Yuan Shao, Hebei, and Cao Cao from the Central Plains, these three princes have the opportunity to win the championship."

"Although your uncle Qiao Rui bet on Yuan Shu, it is similar to the Yuan clan. Therefore, we can rule out Yuan Shao, only Cao Cao and Lu Bu are left."

I saw Father Qiao staring at the two daughters in a deep voice: "Lu Bu and Cao Cao, or!"

Before his father could finish his words, Da Qiao looked at his father calmly and said directly: "Father, Cao Cao's chances are too slim."

Under Qiao's suspicious gaze, Da Qiao suppressed the grief and calmed down, and at the same time comforted his sister Xiao Qiao.

"So what if Yuan Shu is defeated? Cao Cao has to face the princes who decide the victory or defeat in Hebei!"

"Whether it is Lu Bu or Yuan Shao, whoever wins will lead a million soldiers. Do my father agree?"

Facing his daughter's question, Qiao's father nodded calmly, "No matter who wins, he is the best among the princes."

Although it’s over a million troops, there are still 500,000.

I saw Da Qiao looking at his father nervously, enduring his panic in his heart, showing a calm look.

"Father, no matter who wins or loses, Cao Cao, the prince, will always be trapped in the four battles."

With all his brains on his mind, Da Qiao caught whatever he saw, like a drowning person, and a layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Cao Cao's situation restricted him. There were princes from Hebei in the north, Lu Bu in the west, Sun Ce and Liu Biao in the south."

"The four battles are all surrounded by princes in the world. Father, do you think Cao Cao has a chance?"

Although he was extremely panicked, he still held back his firm expression. This scene made him sigh.

Although I am seeking medical treatment in an emergency and wanting to catch it randomly, it makes sense.

"I don't know why I am optimistic about Lu Bu?"

His plan was that the two daughters would marry Cao Cao and Lu Bu and the princes of Lu Bu respectively. For some reason, his daughter was not optimistic about Cao Cao.

Da Qiao looked straight at his father and said in a deep voice: "Because Lu Bu only has a daughter and a son, and they are all young, there are even more beautiful people in the world who are known as Lu Bu."

"Everyone has a love for beauty. My daughter doesn't want her sister or marry Cao Cao himself, let alone!"

When he said this, Da Qiao looked at his sister Xiao Qiao, who was pulling his own, and sighed: "The emperor and the princes have their descendants. My sister and I are just sending flowers on the cake, just to give the Qiao family an extra chance in the future."

"I'm afraid that if you go to Cao Cao's rule, you will only marry his descendants, and the weight of our Qiao family!"

When he said this, Da Qiao lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything further, and there was anger in Qiao's father's eyes, but in the end he turned into a faint sigh.

Not bad! His Qiao family is not a big family, and he may only be a concubine if he goes there and is not qualified to be a wife.

"Get out and let the father consider it."

Da Qiao bowed respectfully with her sister and said softly: "My father's move may offend Sun Ce in Jiangdong."

Looking at the two daughters who left, Qiao's father finally showed a gratified smile. Yes, he offended Sun Ce, but compared with the continuation of the Qiao family, the continuation of the Qiao family is more important.

Besides, Sun Ce just proposed marriage, and the Qiao family has not agreed.

In the first month of the second year of Xingping (195 AD).

Yangzhou battlefield!

In the tent of the commander-in-chief of Cao's army, Cao Cao looked at the battle report from Hebei without anger and couldn't help but smile.

"Haha, Brother Benchu ​​has met an opponent this time, enough for him to drink a pot."

Yuan Shao and Lu Bu's army were in a stalemate. Cao Cao was the happiest person, so that he could beat Yuan Shu with confidence.

"Lord, the Qiao family in Lujiang, Jiangdong wants to send their daughter and lord."

Xi Zhicai hilariously handed the letter to Cao Cao. This time, Qiao's father chose to bet on both sides, and his eldest daughter Da Qiao gave it to Cao Cao. Whether Cao Cao took his own concubine or his offspring, he could no longer take care of it.

After Cao Cao opened the letter, he immediately smiled, "Hehe~ I didn't expect that my reputation had reached Jiangdong."

He has long been accustomed to this aristocratic family, and even many of the descendants, wives and concubines under his knees have marriages with such aristocratic families.

"Da Qiao? I have always heard that there are two Qiaos in Jiangdong, which is the most beautiful thing in the world."

Cao Cao chuckled and joked, not caring about the stunning daughter at all. Instead, he was more interested in Yuan Shu's wife or Liu Biao's more famous Cai family.

"Lord, I heard that Sun Ce, the little overlord of Jiangdong, had just proposed marriage to the Qiao family in Lujiang before the battle. If it weren't for Yuan Shu's sudden title of king, I'm afraid this woman would have been!"

Suddenly, Xun You under the tent frowned and explained in a deep voice to his lord.

Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai were also stunned after hearing this.

"Lord, I am not considering this matter well."

Xi Zhicai didn't know about this and hurriedly apologized to Cao Cao, but Cao Cao waved his hand and laughed.

"It's nothing, it seems that some people want to provoke me to have a dispute with Sun Ce in Jiangdong."

Cao Cao's eyes were filled with cold light, and he thought it was Yuan Shu even more! After all, if he wanted Sun Ce's woman to propose marriage, it would be a slap in the face.

What will happen to the young and energetic Sun Ce? Will he attack him with Yuan Shu? Even if he doesn't know how to attack Yuan Shu together?

Or, what about the future? Even if Yuan Shu is defeated, Cao Cao will have to face the overlord of the north in the future. Will Sun Ce behind this be jealous of the sneak attack?

"Zhicai, where has this girl been?"

Cao Cao snorted coldly, and he had guessed that this was definitely Yuan Shu's despicable method.

"Report to the lord, the Qiao family is taking the waterway and is in the Rushui area at this time."

After hearing this, Cao Cao sneered and waved his hand: "Tell the interests of the Qiao family. I want to use the Qiao family's hands to make Sun Ce angry and attack Yuan Shu."

"The lord is wise."

Cao Cao was not stupid, so he refused the matter directly, and he could even use the Qiao family to tell Sun Ce that someone in Yuan Shu's army had a vicious plan.

If you want to give your wife who has not passed the door to Lao Cao, you can do it. He doesn't believe that the young and energetic Sun Ce will swallow his anger, and maybe he will instead start anger and launch an army to attack Yuan Shu crazily.

A few days later, when the letter was sent back to the Qiao family on the Rushui ship.

"Sister, Cao Cao refused."

Looking at the excited sister chattering, Da Qiao smiled hard, with more sadness in her eyes. It was really sad that a woman was sent to someone like goods.

"Sister, why don't you go to Chang'an with me?"

The young Xiao Qiao chattered excitedly, and she had no resistance to her father giving her to Lu Bu, Wenhou of Guanzhong.

In other words, women of this era have almost been accustomed to this kind of thought since childhood. When facing this problem, they will not have much resistance.

In particular, Xiao Qiao was even more excited to know that Lu Bu was a legend in the world and the dream lover of countless girls.
