As a puppet regime that wants soldiers but no soldiers, and no money, the title is the only reward that the Han family can get at present. Therefore, as Jia Xu said, Liu Xie's use of "Qi Hou" to reward Cai Ji this time is indeed a bloody investment. It must be known that the territory of the ancient Qi State in the heyday of the Warring States period stretched from the sea in the east, to the Qinghe River in the west, to the Yellow River in the north, and to the Huaishui in the south, which roughly covered the entire boundary of Qing and Xu Prefectures and Qinghe County in Jizhou. Liu Xie's appointment of Cai Ji as the Marquis of Qi was undoubtedly a political recognition of Cai Ji's right to rule Qingzhou and Xuzhou. That's why everyone present was so moved.

But then again, Liu Xieruo just wanted Cai Ji to save the imperial court, and giving a title of Marquis of Qi was enough to provoke Cai Ji to send troops to compete with Yuan Shao for the other half of Qingzhou. But now the imperial court has put forward the intention of matching Cao Cai's marriage, which makes people have to doubt the motives of the Son of Heaven. Xiao Jian and Wang Rong are newly attached people, so naturally they don't dare to comment on it. And Tai Shici, Huang Zhen and others were still in awe of the Han family, so although they felt awkward in their hearts, they did not rashly discuss the decision of the Son of Heaven. On the contrary, Liu Yixun on the side asked without any taboos, "The imperial court sent troops and food to destroy Yuan Shao in order to ask the lord to send troops and food to destroy Yuan Shao, and it is just a matter of granting the lord the position of Marquis of Qi." But why do you want to match the marriage between the lord and Cao Cao? Isn't the imperial court afraid that after Cao Cai's marriage, the power will become bigger and endanger the prestige of the imperial court? ”

"Brother Yixun's words are wrong. How could the imperial court make such a loss-making deal. Guo Jia waved his hand and hit the nail on the head, "With the status of the lord today, he will never marry Xu Du because of a marriage contract, let alone merge the Qubu to the Cao family." Therefore, Cao Cai wants to marry, and Cao Cao is bound to send a son to Donglai to complete the marriage. In this way, wouldn't the Cao family be separated like the Yuan family a few years ago? ”

"Ah, in this way, the court is trying to promote division, not peace? No wonder Cao Cao only wanted to send his second son to marry the lord. Liu Yixun suddenly slapped his thigh and said.

After listening to Guo Jia and Liu Yixun's analysis, the expressions of the subordinates present were also difficult to see. It is true that the years of indoctrination have taught them to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism, but when they see that the Son of Heaven who needs to be loyal does everything possible to make small means to calculate the time, this loyalty will be more or less hit. No, Tai Shici, who was upright by nature, couldn't help but say softly, "The imperial court wants the lord to send troops to destroy Yuan Shao, and then fight with Cao Cao for the title of Marquis of Qi in exchange for the three families." It's a good calculation."

However, compared to Tai Shici's annoyance, Jia Xu on the side seemed quite indifferent. But seeing that he glanced at the depressed atmosphere, he opened his mouth leisurely and said, "Why are you so angry. As the saying goes, Zhang Liang has a plan, and there is a ladder over the wall. Although the imperial court has the calculations of the imperial court, we can also take the opportunity of this Cao Cai marriage to form an alliance with Cao Cao to jointly deal with the princes of the world. ”

"Oh? What is Wenhe's opinion? Cai Ji, who had been listening quietly, leaned over and asked. It is said that when she first saw Wu Shuo's letter, she only thought that the imperial court and Cao Cao were forced by Yuan Shao to be anxious, and wanted to use high-ranking officials and marriage to promote the dispatch of troops against Yuan. That's why Cai Ji summoned all his subordinates here to discuss whether to accept the imperial court's proposal. It wasn't until Guo Jia's analysis just now that Cai Ji realized that things were far from being as simple as she imagined. At this time, since Jia Xu said that there was a wall ladder to deal with Zhang Liangji of the imperial court, Cai Ji was naturally happy to hear that this old man was selling medicine in his gourd.

"The lord can ask Cao Cao by name to ask his eldest Cao Ang to come to Donglai to marry." Jia Xu quietly said the countermeasures.

Unexpectedly, Jia Xu sold it for a long time, and actually held back such a strategy, Tai Shi Ci even retorted to him unceremoniously, "Wen He why did he say this." Cao Ang came here to marry, and the lord would not fall into the court calculations? ”

"Of course. Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, and his mother Ding is not only Cao Cao's main family, but also a famous lady. After a hundred years of Cao Cao, the Cao clan will be inherited by Cao Ang. If the lord marries Cao Ang, he will be the mother of the Cao family, and at that time, the Cao Cai family will unite, and who in the world can compete. Or is it that General Ziyi was suspicious of the majesty of the lord, for fear that Cao Ang would seize power? Jia Xu glanced at Tai Shici and said with a smile.

Tai Shi Ci was so agitated by Jia Xu, and hurriedly argued, "Of course, the majesty of the lord will not be shaken by Cao Ang's arrival. It's just that after Cao Ang came to Donglai to marry, Cao Cao would let him inherit the Cao family? In case Cao Cao let other heirs inherit his family business in order to dominate the business, wouldn't his calculations all come to naught? ”

"With the old man here, Ang will definitely be allowed to ascend to the position of the head of the Cao family. General Ziyi doesn't need to worry about this. Jia Xu raised his head and assured in the court. In Jia Xu's view, although Cai Ji's ability is strong, to accumulate strength step by step as a woman to dominate the world, not only does it take too long, but it is also full of various uncertain factors. Once Cai Ji married Cao Ang, the Cao and Cai families formed an alliance, which was not only conducive to the unification of the north, but also accelerated the pacification of the Central Plains. Of course, as Tai Shici said, after marrying Cai Ji, Cao Ang may also encounter obstacles in inheriting the family business in the future. However, Jia Xu didn't think so, according to his thoughts, as long as Cai Ji and Cao Ang's strength was strong enough, there was no need to worry about Cao Cao's others competing with him for the position of head of the family.

But Tai Shici obviously didn't eat Jia Xu's set, but when he saw him turn around, he bowed his hand to Cai Ji and said, "Lord." In his opinion, the lord should still postpone the marriage. It is enough to send troops directly in the name of Bao Han. ”

"Pushed off the marriage? General Ziyi is trying to make the lord offend Cao Caohu? Jia Xu turned his head and asked.

"Since Cao Cao sent his concubine to marry, he knew the court's plan. The lord pushed this marriage in response to Cao Cao's heart, how could he offend Cao Cao? Tai Shi Ci was not to be outdone.

"Cao Cao didn't want to be fooled. But the lord's refusal to marry, but he was openly expressing his contempt for Cao Cao to the world and cutting Cao Cao's face. Let's ask Cao Cao's temperament how he will not hold a grudge. Even if Cao Cao temporarily exposed this matter in order to deal with Yuan Shao, it was inevitable that he would become an enemy of the lord for this matter in the future. Wouldn't this be another trap of the imperial court? Jia Xu smiled contemptuously.

was argued like this by Jia Xu, and Tai Shici was completely silent this time. And just when Tai Shi Ci was so debated by Jia Xu that he couldn't understand the interface, Guo Jia, who had been watching the battle for a long time, said loudly, "Chu and Han are fighting, Chu Fang is anxious to surround Gaozu in Xingyang, Han Xin's envoy arrived, sent a book, Gaozu was furious, and scolded: 'I am trapped here, if I come to help me, I want to establish myself as a king' Zhang Liang and Chen Ping tiptoed Gaozu's feet, because they whispered: 'Han Fang is unfavorable, would rather be the king of forbiddenness?'" It is better to stand up for this, meet it well, and make yourself self-abiding. Otherwise, it will be born. Gaozu also understood, because of the repetition of the scolding: "The princes of Dading are the true king's ears, why do you fake it" is to send Zhang Liang to Lixin as the king of Qi. ”

Guo Jia's sudden insertion of this paragraph does not seem to have anything to do with today's issues. But when everyone thought about it carefully, the allusions of Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Han Xin cited by Guo Jia for hegemony correspond to the relationship between Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Cai Ji today. At the beginning, Liu Bang exchanged the title of "King of Qi" for Han Xin's assistance, but later it was Liu Bang who ordered Han Xin, who was only thirty-three years old, to fall into the bell room, and the three clans were executed. The story of the death of the cunning rabbit and the cooking of the lackey has been staged again and again in the long river of history. No one can guarantee that after Cai Ji and Cao Cao join forces, they will not be the next lackeys to be cooked in the future. Because of this concern, the atmosphere at the scene immediately dropped to the freezing point. Even Jia Xu, who had been talking a lot just now, fell into silence.

In the face of such a fierce controversy, Cai Ji in the hall finally appreciated how complicated the so-called "marriage of princes" is. As Jia Xu and Guo Jia said, the key to the current problem is not whether to marry or not, but how to deal with the relationship with Cao Cao. The so-called matchmaking is just a cover on Xu Du's side, and Han Tianzi and the ministers under his command have the idea of balancing the princes from the beginning. The essence of marriage is whether the marriage is beneficial to both parties, whether it is short-term or long-term. As for the men and women involved in the marriage, whether they are in love, whether they are handsome and beautiful, whether they are of the same age, whether they have a lot of money, whether they are from famous families, can be ignored under the premise of interests.

Thinking of this, Cai Ji strengthened his determination to take a pragmatic route, but heard her break the silence of the scene and say, "In this case, this government will agree to Cao Cao and get engaged to his second son Cao Pi." ”

Seeing that Cai Ji accepted the marriage proposal, Tai Shi Ci couldn't help but exclaim, "Lord ......"

However, Cai Ji raised his hand to stop Tai Shici, and then looked around at the subordinates present and analyzed, "If this mansion doesn't remember, Cao Pi is only twelve years old now, and he can't be a husband and wife yet, and he can only be engaged to this mansion." The reason why Cao Cao chose Cao Pi to marry with this mansion is probably the same idea. Since this is the case, the government will push the boat down the river to accept this marriage, which can be regarded as signing a contract with Cao Cao to join hands to resist Yuan. After the destruction of Yuan Shao, if Cao Cao divided the Central Plains equally with the government, the two families would become good for Qin and Jin; If Cao Cao has any changes, he will fight."

Cai Ji's last sentence "If you want to fight, you will fight" was categorical, and at the same time, it also showed her determination to Cai Anzhen to never succumb to Cao Cao. Jia Xu, who was originally bent on merging Cai Cao, couldn't help frowning when he heard it. And Tai Shici on the side was deeply encouraged and shouted loudly, "If you want to fight, the lord of the battle said well, Cao Cao's son should be sent to be a proton." ”

"We will look to the lord and the stallion." Liu Yixun and Huang Zhen also said with excited expressions, and Cai Ji said. Immediately afterwards, Xiao Jian and Wang Rong also successively said that Cai Ji's decision was wise.

The only people who did not answer were Guo Jia and Jia Xu, who still had a sad face. Seeing this situation, Cai Ji couldn't help but ask the two of them, "Wen Hegong, Feng Xiao, what do you think about the decision of this mansion?" ”

"Jia agrees with the Lord's decision." Guo Jia smiled at Cai Ji.

So everyone turned their eyes to Jia Xu again, but after seeing that he was silent for a while, he finally replied to Cai Ji, "Since the lord has made a decision, Xu has to obey his fate." ”

Cai Ji, who received such a reply, finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If you can get the support of the two, the government will be relieved." ”

Since Cai Ji had already made up his mind to temporarily join forces with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao, the subordinates present began to seriously discuss how to reply to Xu Du, how to reply to Cao Cao, how to start the engagement, and so on. Although Jia Xu was not satisfied with Cai Ji's decision, he still provided Cai Ji with a lot of practical advice during the discussion. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west that everyone got up and left Cai Ji's mansion one after another with a mind full of conspiracy and conspiracy.

"Feng Xiao, please stay."

In the garden of the Cai Clan's Mansion, Jia Xu, who was on crutches, stopped Guo Jia, who was about to step out of the gate. Guo Jia immediately turned around and politely bowed his hand to Jia Xu, "What advice does Wen Hegong have?" ”

"Feng Xiao's previous example is obviously to warn the lord not to make an alliance with Cao Cao lightly. Why did he finally agree to let the lord marry Cao Cao? Jia Xu stared at Guo Jia and asked.

"Don't hide it, when Jia Gang saw Wu Shuo's letter, he did pinch a cold sweat for the lord, for fear that the lord would serve Cao Cao. But seeing that the lord had the determination to sit on an equal footing with Cao Cao just now, Jia no longer worried about the lord. Guo Jia said with a long sigh of relief.

Jia Xu listened to what Guo Jia said, sneered, and was aggressive, "In this way, Feng Xiao has the intention to learn that Kuaitong wants to instigate the lord to divide one side?" ”

But Guo Jia waved his hand disappreciatively, looked up at the sun slanting to the west, and said to himself, "Jia Ke doesn't mean to divide the world." Jia only wants to help the lord and assist the Han family to dominate the world in his lifetime. ”

"Bong Hyo said it lightly. The Han dynasty has long been in decline, and the world should be inhabited by capable people. But Feng Xiao has repeatedly helped the lord to become enemies with Cao Cao, isn't he splitting the Central Plains," Jia Xu pointed at Guo Jia and reprimanded.

"Why did Wen He say this?" Guo Jia glanced back at Jia Xu and asked rhetorically, "If the world is unified, the Lord should help Yuan Shao succeed." But Yuan Shao is the master? ”

"Yuan Shao is not the master, but Cao Cao is," Jia Xu said stubbornly.

"The lord is too," Guo Jia said not to be outdone.

"Ridiculous" Jia Xu slammed his cane and pointed at Guo Jia's nose and scolded, "Although the lord is talented, he is a woman after all." How can a woman rule the world? ”

"Since the lord can go from a puppet to this point, how can he not rule the world in the future?" Guo Jia confronted each other. But seeing that Jia Xu was staring with red eyes, he adjusted his breathing a little and said slowly, "Don't hide it, Jia traveled to the Central Plains and met many princes. However, there are only two people who make Jia feel that he can end the troubled times, one is Cao Mengde, and the other is Cai Anzhen. At that time, Cao and Cai were not strong, but these two were able to sort out the rule of officials and raise troops in Tuntian during the war, instead of blindly knowing how to conquer and collect fish and flesh like ordinary princes. However, compared with Cao Mengde's table in Yanzhou, Cai Anzhen's political strategy in Donglai is more pragmatic and more disciplined. So Jia finally chose to stay in Donglai and recognize Cai Anzhen. Of course, Jia also knows that it is not easy for women to succeed, and they have to pay a greater price than men. But as long as he thought that the various strategies of the lord could be promoted to the world in the future, Jia thought that even if it had to spend twice as much as the male princes, it would be worth a try to help the lord rule the world. What's more, as long as the lord gives birth to an heir, how can the Cai family not be convinced by the world? ”
