Chapter 10 Winning the Central Plains Section 21

"There is also a maid in the inner tent, who also came out of the palace?" Chen Hao answered the question.

"Yes, she is also a female official in the palace and serves the eldest princess. Because Mrs. Yu has been in poor health recently, the eldest princess asked her to take care of Mrs. Yu in the General's Mansion. This time, she went to the Central Plains with Shisun Xin, and it is estimated that it was also Mrs. Yu's idea, because she was a member of Guo Valve in Northern Xinjiang. Wang Chang glanced at him and said with a smile,

"Isn't it beautiful? Is Brother Yi tempted again? ”

"Guo Valve's people?" Chen Hao was stunned for a moment,

"What's her name? Why haven't I heard about it in Jinyang? If there was such a beauty in Guo Valve's family, she would have married out a long time ago, how could she enter the palace? ”

"Her name is Guo Rui. Her father is Guo Yong, the former Taishou of Nanjun, and Guo Yun and Guo Ce are all family. Guo Yong and his wife died young, and she and several brothers had a conversation together. In the year when the Yellow Turban Army entered Taiyuan, the whole family was robbed, and she was the only one who survived. She was only four years old at the time, and she was wandered among the homeless people, and was taken in by Yang Feng, the leader of the Yellow Turban Army at the time, as a maidservant. Lord Yang Feng was later worshiped as the Marquis of Tonglu and lived in Tonglu County in Shangdang County. The year before last, Lord Guo Yun was a guest at Tongba, and saw that Guo Rui was very similar to his deceased brother and sister, so he asked a few questions. Although Guo Rui was very young when his family died, he still remembered the names of his parents and brothers and where they lived in the past. Uncle and nephew met because of this. Lord Guo Yun was overjoyed and immediately returned home with his niece, who had been separated for more than ten years. ”

"I see, I see, I ...... so" Chen Hao was full of emotion,

"There are such coincidences in the world. Then why did she enter the palace again? ”

"At the end of the year before last, the eldest princess went to the family of the Jinyang Gate lord clan to select unmarried women to serve in the official ranks. Guo Rui is unmarried, of course, he is also among the candidates, and he was selected. Wang Chang sighed,

"Lord Guo Yun has no choice but to find Mrs. Yu, hoping to get Guo Rui out of the palace as soon as possible through Mrs. Yu's relationship."

"Oh, that's ......" Chen Hao suddenly realized,

"Wen Shu, do you have a fancy for it? If you're embarrassed, I'll go and tell the general. ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Chang laughed and laughed,

"I'm married, don't bother adults." The two were chatting, and Zhao Xing and Shi Sun Xin came slowly.

Shi Sun Xin was a little shy, hiding behind Zhao Xing, and secretly looked at Chen Hao. Chen Hao wanted to make a joke, but Shi Sun Xin was in front of him, and he couldn't speak out considering his identity, so he was very uncomfortable, and he had a strange smile on his face.

Zhao Xing was downright and generous, bowed down and said, "Brother Yiqian, after you married the beauty of the Sun family, you will be shorter than me, and you will call me uncle in the future." ”

"What did you say?" Chen Hao couldn't help but widen his eyes and shouted,

"You kid wants to die." The general returned to the military tent. Sun Shangxiang bowed down and bowed

"Uncle" is commensurate. There was a burst of laughter in the tent. Chen Hao was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, embarrassed. Fu Gan, Wang Chang, Zhao Xing and others laughed and leaned back and forth.

"Alright, alright, get up." Li Hong said with a smile,

"Although your father and I used to be equals, since your brother married you to Yiqian, it is clear that he wants to be on an equal footing with me. Then I'll have to give way. Yiqian and I are brothers, we are equals, don't call me uncle in the future. ”

"No, no......" Zhao Xing shook his hand again and again,

"General, how can you let Brother Yiqian go like this?"

"Tell Yiqian to kneel down too, and let them call our uncle together, otherwise they will never let him go." Fu Gan also followed behind to join in the fun.

Chen Hao put his hands behind his back, held his head high, looked triumphant, and ignored them. Sun Shangxiang was greatly embarrassed and at a loss.

Fengxue hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and scolded Fu Gan and the others a few words,

"Let's all eat, don't make trouble here." Because it was a family banquet, Chen Hao, Fu Gan and others were very familiar with each other, so the atmosphere at the banquet was very lively.

After Fengxue ate a little, he took Sun Shangxiang back to the back account. Li Hong told Chen Hao about his plan,

"You go to the city tomorrow to visit Sun Ben and Zhu Zhi, and make a specific decision about welcoming relatives."

"The general wants to mediate in person and let Cao Cao and Sun Quan shake hands and make peace?" Chen Hao asked worriedly,

"Now the situation is very favorable to Cao Cao, he may not agree. Even if he agreed, he might be double-faced, sending people to Jiangdong for peace talks on the one hand, and commanding a large army to cross the river to attack on the other. ”

"Cao Cao didn't dare to take this risk." Li Hong shook his hand and said,

"Although he knew that I was in a hurry to attack Luoyang, the armies of Qingdao and Yanzhou could also enter Xuzhou at any time. If he wants to live a few more years, it is better not to provoke me. ”

"After Cao Cao and Sun Quan negotiated peace, Liu Biao is very likely to retreat to Jingzhou and transfer troops north to support Yuan Shao." Chen Hao thought for a while and said,

"Unless we take Yingchuan before Liu Biao supports Yuan Shao, the war will definitely drag on. Jingzhou is very close to Yingchuan, and within ten days, the Jingzhou army can go north to Yingchuan to fight. Taking a step back, even if we take Yingchuan before Liu Biao supports Yuan Shao, the army of Yuan Shao, Liu Biao and Liu Bei will immediately launch a counterattack, and the war will continue, which is very unfavorable to us. ”

"Whether you can take Yingchuan and hold Yingchuan depends on when Liu Biao's army arrives in Yuzhou." Li Hong nodded and said,

"Since Yuan Shao's army has to be divided into various places, Liu Bei's army is weak, and the only one who can pose a threat to us is Liu Biao's Jingzhou army, so we must find a way to keep Liu Biao's army in Jingzhou. Now only the army in Jiangdong can leave the Jingzhou army on the Yangtze River. ”

"This time, I personally came forward to mediate, and Cao Cao didn't dare not agree. The threat to the north of the Jiangdong can be lifted temporarily, but this is only temporary, and I can acquiesce to Cao Cao's attack on the east of the river at any time. Sun Quan and Zhou Yu are both smart people, and if they want to hold Jiangdong, they must use this time to take the lead in eliminating one of the two threats, Cao Cao and Liu Biao. ”

"The advantages of fighting Liu Biao are obvious, firstly, it can solve the threat of Jingzhou to Jiangdong, and secondly, it can contain Liu Biao's forces and help Hebei fight Luoyang. And we can thus repay Jiangdong, firmly contain Cao Cao in Jiangbei, so that Jiangdong will not suffer from attacks from both sides, and get time to alleviate the crisis and stabilize the situation. Li Hong looked at the people in the tent and asked with a smile: "If you are Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, how should you choose now?" ”

"Fight Jingzhou, concentrate forces to fight Jiangxia, and first beat Liu Biao to the point where he is powerless to threaten Jiangdong." Zhao Xing waved his hand excitedly and said,

"If Sun Quan and Zhou Yu miss this opportunity, Jiangdong may be really difficult to keep." In mid-May, Jiyin County, Yanzhou, forty miles southeast of the single father city, Zou Ting.

Cao Zhang sat on his horse and looked at a team of iron horsemen roaring in the distance, and his face gradually showed murderous aura.

"Lord Mao, will that Karasuma man come?"

"It should come, this is the most basic etiquette, and the general won't know it." Mao Jue looked at the murderous Cao Zhang, and said uneasily,

"Ziwen, don't be reckless, this marriage is related to the survival of Xuzhou......"

"Fart......" Cao Zhang suddenly shouted,

"This is also called marriage? Hebei is simply insulting our Cao family. My father was timid and afraid, but I was not afraid. I'm going to kill that Karasuma man, and see what he can do with my Cao family? ”

"Ziwen ......" Mao Jie was shocked and angry,

"How did you say yes when you left? If you don't want to go to Dingtao, you go back, don't miss a big thing. Cao Zhang snorted coldly and grasped the handle of the knife in his right hand.

"When I get the head of the Karasuma man, I'll go back right away." Mao Jue was so angry that he trembled, and he didn't know what to do.

Cao Zhang is Cao Cao's second son, born with divine power, skilled in martial arts, and fought in the army as a teenager, and is brave.

He was not tall, very burly, dark-skinned, with a round face and small eyes, much like his father.

Originally, Cao Cao planned to let Cao Pi send him off this time, but Cao Zhang was going to come, and Cao Cao didn't think much about it, so he agreed.

Who knew that this kid was sincere in killing people in order not to humiliate his sister.

"Brother, what are you going to do?" Cao Yue suddenly appeared behind Cao Zhang. This morning, when Cao Chang forced her to put on her armor and ride a war horse to mix in the guards' ride, she felt that something was wrong.

Now seeing Cao Zhang and Mao Jue shouting in the distance, they hurriedly urged the horses to rush over,

"Brother, do you want me to die here?" Looking at the tears in his sister's eyes, Cao Zhang's heart ached, and he shouted,

"You go back for me, it's none of your business here. As long as I live, I'll bring you back in its entirety. ”

"Where's my uncle? You killed that Karasuma man, is there still life for my uncle? Cao Yue said excitedly,

"Hebei people will kill uncle, you know? What is my fate? If I can save my uncle, even if I die, I am willing. ”

"You know what?" Cao Zhang roared angrily,

"I know how to do this, I don't need you to teach it. You go back for me and stay, hurry up and ......" Several guards rode up and wanted to drag Cao Yue back to the battle formation, Cao Yue struggled,

"Brother, brother...... Don't do stupid things, don't hurt your father, the Cao family, and everyone. Cao Zhang ignored her, whipped down, and rushed out with a horse.

The horn sounded. The priest raised his right hand, and the group slowly stopped.

"I'll go see it first......" Arbitrarily patted the horse and was about to catch it, but the priest stopped him,

"I'll go. If there is an accident, immediately bring someone to kill it, and leave no one behind. Cao Zhang looked Sai Feng up and down.

In his twenties, tall and fierce, handsome and mighty, with a pair of calm and resolute eyes on his cold face, he looks like a battle-hardened general.

"Where's the Karasuma man named Matsumito?" Cao Zhang asked coldly. The most striking feature of the Karasuma people and the Xianbei people is their heads, but the person in front of them is full of black hair, and a few strands of hair hang down from the battle helmet, fluttering in the wind, no matter how you look at it, he is also a Han person.

Seeing resentment and murder in Cao Zhang's eyes, he smiled faintly, raised his horsewhip and pointed at the team in the distance, and asked casually,

"You're from Xuzhou?"

"I ask you, where is that brute? Didn't you hear? Cao Zhang roared,

"Call him, and I will see him." The sacrificial blade frowned, the muscles on his face twitched slightly, and the whip in his hand swung vigorously in the air.

"Uh......h Woo ......" horn rose to the sky, and the iron cavalry of the Changshui Battalion began to start slowly. Mao Jue beat the horse and galloped, shouting all the way,

"I am the envoy of Xuzhou, which general is ahead?" arbitrarily came on horseback, approaching Cao Zhang,

"Who are you?"

"I'm Cao Zhang. Get that Karasuma out of here, I'm going to meet him. Cao Zhang shouted,

"It's okay to marry my sister if you want, but it has to be better than the knife in my hand. Isn't there a Karasuma people? I didn't even dare to stick my head out. "Mao Jue Pegasus arrived, and when he saw arbitrarily hurriedly surrendered his hand,

"Don't get me wrong, Lord Ren, he's just a ......"

"I just want to kill him." Cao Zhang raised his sword and roared,

"Don't the Karasuma people dare to fight? There is a kind of get out of here, fight me to the death, and never die. He sneered arbitrarily, looked at Mao Jue and asked angrily, "Master Mao, what are you doing with this madman?" If Lord Cao is unwilling to marry, we will see you on the battlefield. ”

"Lord Ren, what do you mean by that?" Mao Jue was angry when he heard this, and replied unceremoniously,

"If Karasuma has the courage and is a good man, he should stand up and prove that he is qualified to marry the daughter of the Cao family."

"Haha......" Sai Feng looked up to the sky and smiled, shaking his head again and again,

"Okay, I accept your challenge and never die.

"You're the Karasuma man?" Cao Zhang's eyes widened in surprise, trying to see clearly. Mao Jue's face changed suddenly, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"You want to die, don't you?" Arbitrarily angry and ready to split,

"Lao Tzu fulfills you. Sacrifice the blade, kill him. "Turn the horse's head at will, and rush straight into battle,

"Blowing the trumpet, beating the drum, cheering ......" Cao Yue looked at the two men fighting fiercely in front of him in a daze, almost suffocating nervously.

The difference between the man in front of him and the Karasuma man he imagined was simply 108,000 miles. This man is very tall, much taller than his brother, and he has been pressing his brother to beat, beating his brother backwards again and again, and he has no power to fight back at all.

I always thought that my brother's martial arts could dominate the world, but today it seems that my brother's martial arts are too far from the real masters, and they can't be compared with the man in front of him.

Cao Zhang's knife was cut off by the Karasuma people.

"Don't kill my brother......" Cao Yue screamed as Pegasus rushed out. The sacrificial blade roared wildly, kicked Cao Zhang, and then raised the war knife and slammed it into the ground.

"Stand up, come and kill me......" Cao Zhang has never been so embarrassed as he is today. In the army, he has fought against dozens of generals, and none of them have been defeated, and even fierce generals like Dian Wei and Xu Chu are just a draw with him.

Shame, shame, I was defeated by a brute. Cao Zhang jumped up and flew up,

"If I don't kill you today, I swear not to be a man." The priest took a few steps back, suddenly pulled down his battle helmet and smashed it head-on.

Cao Zhang was caught off guard, and hit the thick iron helmet with a punch, and immediately blood splattered, and he screamed miserably.

Sai Feng took advantage of this opportunity to fly up and kick Cao Zhang into the air, falling heavily to the ground. Sacrificial Feng glanced at him with disdain, slowly put on his battle helmet, pulled out his war knife and inserted it into its sheath, and turned to walk towards the war horse in the distance.

Cao Zhang was mad, he roared like a beast, scrambled to his feet, picked up the half-cut knife on the ground, and threw it viciously at the back of the priest,

"Die."

"Kill ......" Sai Feng turned around suddenly, and suddenly there was a small black axe in his hand, and this little black axe was like a ghost, making a terrifying roar, slashing Cao Zhang.

The knives and axes collided in the air, the broken knives flew sideways, and the little black axe was castrated unabated, roaring down. The horses soared into the air.

Little Black Axe

"Flutter" slashed into the neck of the war horse. The war horse neighed miserably, rushed forward a few steps, and fell to the ground with a bang.

Cao Zhang couldn't dodge, was hit by the war horse, and fell far to the ground. Sai Feng was furious, he flew up, pulled out the bloody little black axe, rushed to Cao Zhang in a few steps, and chopped it with the axe.

"Don't kill my brother......" A terrible cry suddenly reached the ears of the priest,

"I'll marry you, I'll marry you, please don't kill my brother......" Sai Feng turned back in shock. Jump to
