Chapter 20 Historical Truth

After the meeting, I did not go back to my own nest, but went to the backyard to ask the deacon to inform me that I had something to ask for my visit.

Cao Cao was changing clothes and preparing to relax in the garden of the mansion. When he heard me asking for a meeting, he ordered his family to take me to the back garden to wait. Before the Song Dynasty, men and women had not reached the point where they were seven years old in the later years and were not given relatives. It was natural for the empress dowager who ran through the entire Han Dynasty to come to the dynasty. No one would come out to object to the failure of the family business of the hen. And for a long time, although the royal princess did not inherit the throne, especially the eldest princess' status within the bureaucratic class was still very noble. The eldest princess' participation in the court affairs affected the political situation. This was the case with the royal family, so there were no restrictions on ministers and noble families. Therefore, summoning subordinates in places with internal relatives was not only polite, but also a sign of closeness.

As soon as I entered the garden, I saw a toddler walking towards me under the care of several maids and mothers. The child's big eyes and fleshy little face were very popular. This child should be Cao Zhi, who had seven steps into poetry. Under the pavilion in the garden, he was interested in admiring the naughty child's walking pictures, and he never even noticed Cao Cao's arrival.

Cao Cao sat down beside me and said, "Welfare, how about this son?"

Instead of getting up to greet me, I replied with a smile: "It's hard to say that you can see the old age at the age of three."

Cao Cao also smiled and said, "Fengxiao doesn't even say a flattering word?"

I said seriously: "If the lord wants to hear flattery, it is not easy. When the lord achieves hegemony and other flattery words will always surround the lord's ears."

Cao Cao's smile froze on his face, and after a while he said with a tense face: "Guo Jia has the identity of these words!"

I don't call it "Phe" anymore, but I call me with the name and surname, and I want to scare me! If you can trick this into it, my psychology will be in vain, so I laughed out loud and said, "Haha! Only if Jia doesn't say this is the case."

After hearing my words, Cao Cao also laughed and said, "Listen to Xun You, worshiping filial piety is not only a genius, but also a prodigal son. As expected! Haha!"

Attracted by the laughter, Cao Zhi walked towards the Pavilion curiously, staggered a few steps and sat on the ground, and the little guy actually climbed over quickly with his hands on the ground. This action made Cao Cao and I laugh even more.

Cao Cao got off the pavilion and picked up Cao Zhi, swept the little face with his beard a few times. Cao Zhi showed his teeth and smiled while grabbing his father's beard to play. After teasing him a few times, Cao Cao suddenly asked, "Mrs. Fengxiao is pregnant, right?"

I saw Cao Zhi babbling in the maid's arms and said happily: "Yes, I will be a father in another three months."

Cao Cao pointed at Cao Zhi's distant figure and said, "How about Mrs. Ruozun's daughter who gave birth to a daughter to marry me?"

No! I have a father-in-law's face. Before the child was born, you decided that I would be a father-in-law? But I had to give this face. I had to say, "It is a blessing for me to be a relative of my lord, but I don't know if it's a man or a woman."

Cao Cao said: "If a man is better, he will become a brother to my son."

What else can I say to Cao Cao's suggestion that he was both blocked! Fortunately, my wife had a son three months later, otherwise it would be really awkward to be Cao Zhi's father-in-law.

After the chat, it was naturally the turn of the main business. I said, "Lord, this time, Jiaxiu will attract the war, so we need to prepare early."

Cao Cao didn't understand for a moment and said, "The court was controlled by Li, Guo and others. There are news that they have many conflicts recently and attacked each other all day long, so they should have no time to take care of themselves, right? Besides, Chang'an is thousands of miles away from Yanzhou, so the court should not send troops to come."

I said, "In Jia's expectations, Jin Shang, who was blocked by our army, could not enter Yanzhou, and he had no face to return to Chang'an, but went to join someone!"

After thinking for a while, Cao Cao said, "Yuan Shu?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, it's Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu has been coveting Yanzhou's food and grass for a long time. If he hadn't fought with his brother Yuan Shao in a fierce battle last year, he would have probably sent troops to Yanzhou under the name of destroying the Yellow Turbans. Even so, Yuan Shu was also jealous of Yuan Shao's confidant lord as the governor of Yanzhou for a long time. At present, the two brothers have temporarily quit. This time, Jin Shang would not go to join him. If Jin Shang arrived at Yuan Shu's place, Yuan Shu would definitely use this as an excuse to send troops to Yanzhou."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Yes, but Yuan Shu is strong and powerful. How should our army deal with it?"

I said, "Our army alone had insufficient troops in battle with Yuan Shu, and Yuan Shao was restrained by Gongsun Zan and could not help us. Only Liu Biao, Jingzhou, could take it as aid. As long as our army could hold on for two months, Liu Biao would return to send troops to attack Wancheng when he saw profitable, so that he could relieve our army's danger."

Cao Cao thought about it and felt reasonable, so he said, "If Liu Jingsheng from Jingzhou could send troops, he would not only be able to resolve the siege of Yanzhou, but also cause Yuan Shu to lose his troops and generals to be severely damaged."

When I discussed the details with Cao Cao, I was about to say goodbye. I remembered that there was something to remind Cao Cao, so I said: "The lord ordered people to go to Yanya to welcome the old man. The safety along the way needs more planning."

Cao Cao said strangely: "Fengxiao is really a genius! The day before yesterday, I said that Gongsun Zan sent his subordinate Liu Bei to station troops in Gaotang. After the troops stationed in the plains, Tao Qian in Xuzhou also stationed troops to set off. It is possible that our army would attack these three places in March next spring. So today I asked someone to go to Langya, Xuzhou to take over his father to Yanzhou. First, to show that he would never give up Yanzhou, and second, to prevent being harmed by him when fighting with Tao Qian. At present, Tao Qian should not send anyone to harm him for the time being, which is inconsistent with his character, but thank you Fengxiao!"

How could it happen? This is completely different from the records in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms I know! Is history changed, or is this the true face of history? But think about it carefully, Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Biao are allies, while Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan and Tao Qian are allies. These two alliances have been in war for a long time. Although Tao Qian and Cao Cao have not yet fought, they should have to fight sooner or later, so it is unlikely that Tao Qian will send someone to escort Cao Song.

I returned home with a lot of questions. Seeing that Wei Yan, who was sent out by me to search for Zhao Yun, had already returned, I asked quickly: "Have Wen Chang found Zhao Zilong?"

Wei Yan whispered: "I found it, but he has already voted for Gongsun Zan and said he is unwilling to be the descendants of eunuchs."

Damn! What's wrong with eunuchs! Eunuchs also have good people! For example, who... I really can't remember! It's true that the waves are washing away the sand, and there are very few people, but I firmly believe that there must be good people among eunuchs, so you can't knock the boat over in one go! Besides, Cao Cao himself is not a eunuch!

Wei Yan is really stupid, it doesn’t matter how to use it. As long as he can bring Zhao Yun over to stay for a few days, I will have a way to keep him. I was so angry that I walked around the house several times like a mill pushing a mill and said, “Didn’t you say you want him to host Zhao Yu’s marriage?”

Wei Yan said: "He said he was very grateful to Mr. for his help and would repay him in the future. He also said that Mr. Zhao Yu was her reborn parent, so he asked Mr. to make the decision on marriage."

I'm dizzy! I'm dizzy when I wake up! What's this happening? This is how people feel. The better they feel, the less they can't get it. The more they can't get it, the better they feel!

Wei Yan blushed and said, "That, sir... my and Xiaoyu's... that."

"Don't even think about it, go beat your bachelor!" I jumped and cursed, "It's still Xiaoyu... Xiaoyu, she's so close! I asked her to be a nunnery and become a nunnery. I have thought of the name and call her - Master Miejue!"

But after a long period of depression, Wei Yan, who was full of shame, called him and said, "Wen Chang, you go and do something. Once you have done it, I will not only be the leader and promise Zhao Yu to you, but also recommend you to your lord to be an official."

When Wei Yan heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly came over with a smile and listened to me to give me an in-person advice.

Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong and Le Jin took the order to lead troops to stop Jin Shang outside Yanzhou. After discovering Jin Shang's journey, the 20,000 troops set up their formation on the necessary road. Jin Shang, who had not experienced the battle formation, had to retreat in shame when he saw that Cao's army was in great power, and returned to Chang'an without any face, and then surrendered to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu was very unwilling to accept that Jin Shang had been driven back by Cao Cao, so he contacted Gongsun Zan to restrain Yuan Shao. Yuan Shu reorganized his army to march towards Chenliu on the grounds that Cao Cao disobeyed his superiors' orders and was disobedient, intending to occupy Yanzhou.

Cao Cao, who was already prepared, also led tens of thousands of troops to station Chenliu and Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops to fight.
