Nineteen-year-old Cai Ji's eyebrows have grown, no longer immature when she first came to the end of the Han Dynasty, and her soul in her thirties is imperceptibly dyed with a layer of charm beyond age for her well-defined facial features. On weekdays, Corporal Cai Ji Lixian apologizes for receiving things, like a touch of spring breeze that refreshes people's hearts. But at this moment, her eyebrows were slightly raised, she was not angry, and her phoenix eyes were as cold as a pool, and she couldn't hide the little careful thinking of the young man in front of her.

Cao Pi had never seen Cai Ji look at him like this. Even when she first arrived at Longkou, although Cai Ji's words were polite, her eyes were warm. Because of this, Cao Pi felt that as long as he figured out Qi Hou's thoughts, he could sit back and relax. It was precisely with this idea that Cao Pi insisted that he wanted to stay, because he felt that Cai Ji was testing himself. He could just take the opportunity to show his loyalty to Qi Hou. But it seems that this is not the case at all. Cai Ji's cold gaze made Cao Pi bow his head in a weak heart. Cai Ji completely ignored Cao Pi's reaction and threw out his sleeves directly.

Yes, Cai Ji was indeed testing Cao Pi just now, but not his loyalty. Cai Ji didn't believe that Cao Cao's son would develop so-called loyalty after five months with him. So Cao Pi's answer seemed to her to be both clumsy and dishonest. This also made her dismiss her plan to place Cao Pi in Longkou.

In fact, Cai Ji's attitude towards Cao Pi has changed many times. When Cao Pi first arrived in Donglai, Cai Ji only regarded him as a proton sent by Cao Cao. Once Yuan Shao is eliminated and the covenant is reached, Cao Pi will also return to Xudu. After all, the two are just engaged, and there is no need to stay together like a husband and wife. So the huggers had the idea of gathering and dispersing, and Cai Ji was quite polite to Cao Pi at that time. But Cao Cao's move of pushing Cao Pi to himself on the White Horse made Cai Ji quickly realize that Cao Pi was afraid that he would have to stay in Cai Ying for a long time. Short-term stay and long-term stay are completely two different concepts, so Cai Ji changed his attitude towards Cao Pi in the following days. The pampered "Cao Gongzi" has become a "Zihuan" who is called and drunk.

To be honest, Cai Ji didn't want to be so "snobbish", but her status made her have to do it. The identity of the woman doomed Cai Ji to encounter more challenges than ordinary princes. And marriage is one of them. Although Cao Pi is young and a concubine, he is Cao Cao's son after all, and he is the husband of the Son of Heaven. In this era of male superiority and inferiority. It's hard to guarantee that no one will beat Cao Pi's idea. After all, a boy with a decent background is traditionally more suitable to be a prince than a woman who has no power to tie his hands. Especially when Cai Ji's power was consolidating day by day and Cao Pi was growing up.

Therefore, Cai Ji wanted to break Cao Pi's authority as a husband and a child of the Cao family at the beginning. Imagine how a boy who usually leads a horse and makes tea for his fiancée can win the favor of generals and scholars. And so. After the Battle of White Horse, Cai Ji began to openly use Cao Pi as an attendant. Now everyone in Qi Ying knows that Cao Pi is just a proton who stays with Qi Hou, and no one will mention the identity of his fiancé. Seeing that the queen of fire was almost over, Cai Ji found an opportunity to point out Cao Pi's current situation, so that the young man could stop thinking about it and honestly be his proton in Longkou. Whether Cao Pi wants to hunt and play, or recite poems and do endowments, Cai Ji doesn't mind, as long as he doesn't make trouble for her.

However, before sending Cao Pi back to Longkou, Cai Ji decided to give him another try. I never thought I would try such a result. In fact, Cao Pi has no problem answering no matter how he answers. The key is that he is honest with himself. For this reason, Cai Ji gave her one more chance, but the little ghost still stubbornly fooled her. Yes, Cao Pi is stubborn in Cai Ji's eyes. This stubbornness does not refer to the donkey's temper from east to west. Instead, he grovels to you on the surface, but never gives up resistance in his heart. Cao Pi not only did not give up resisting, but even wanted to play clever to sway Cai Ji's judgment. Faced with such a troublesome imp, Cai Ji felt that it was better to keep him chained to his side.

"I've seen the Lord."

Two passing maids interrupted Cai Ji's thoughts, and when he looked up, he realized that he had unknowingly walked to the atrium. I thought that in this war-torn day, I still took my time to ponder the words and deeds of a thirteen-year-old boy. Cai Ji couldn't help but laugh a little dumbly. That's it, no matter how Cao Pi is Emperor Wei in the history of another time and space, it's not a big deal to spend a little time on him. But that's all, after all, as a prince, Cai Ji has too many things to deal with. Just like tonight, she is going to have a banquet for Liu Xun and others who have just surrendered.

On that day, Chai Zhen rushed back to Yuan Ying with Cai Ji's message in a panic. Chai Ling, the head of the Chai family, saw that Jiang Yiqu's entire army was wiped out, and he had already moved his mind to surrender. After listening to Chai Zhen's words, he immediately united with other Haoqiang Qu troops to surround Liu Xun's main formation. The soldiers and horses under Liu Xun's command were mainly Haoqiang, and there were no more than 500 people around him. Facing the three thousand heads piled up in Jingguan, as well as the aggressive Chai Ling and others, Liu Xun also knew that the general trend had gone. But he did not choose to die like Jiang Yiqu, but surrendered to Cai Ji downhill.

Afterwards, Cai Ji appointed Chai Ling as the Giant Deer County Cheng in accordance with his previous promise. As for Liu Xun, he still stayed in Julu Taishou. At present, a strong and powerful department in Julu County is being reorganized outside the city. Cai Ji invited a strong banquet tonight, firstly, to win people's hearts, and secondly, to familiarize the old and new subordinates. Thinking of this, looking at the sun in the sky, which was already setting westward, Cai Ji casually asked, "What time is it?" ”

The taller maid hurriedly replied, "Back to the Lord, it's just past the hour." ”

Cai Ji estimated that he would leave Xi Shang for an hour, and he didn't want to turn around and go back to the boudoir full of fat and powder. sent two maids to Yuan Tan's study, which had become the office of the staff. Let's see what new battle reports are coming. For example, whether Liu Zhang quelled the rebellion in Chengdu; how Liu Biao and Zhang Xian fought in Changsha; What is Liu Bei doing these days; Sun Ce and Zhou Yu captured those cities again. Of course, Cai Ji is most concerned about the situation of Cao Cao and Yuan Shang.

As soon as he stepped into the study, Cai Ji clearly felt that the atmosphere in the room was wrong. But I saw that Simbi and other advisers were discussing something in a circle. When everyone found Cai Ji standing at the door, Xin Bi hurriedly stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and presented the battle report he had just received in his hand, "Lord, Yuan Shu and Yu Jili should be reconciled and have taken Yecheng." ”

"Yecheng has changed hands?" Cai Ji took the battle report without showing much surprise. It's not that she doesn't care about this news, but Duan Emei had reported to her that Tai Ji Zheng was secretly colluding with Yuan Shu before. But when Cai Ji finished reading the battle report, the corners of her mouth twitched unconsciously, "Regent? ”

"It is said that it was Yuan Shao's wife, Liu, who appeased Yuan Shu as regent and did not claim the title of emperor." Simbi added.

"That Mrs. Liu." Cai Ji recalled the scene when he met Mrs. Liu in Yecheng, and sat down with the staff present in turn. It is undeniable that Mrs. Liu can make Yuan Shu give up his claim to be the emperor. It really surprised Cai Ji. After all, Yuan Shu was notoriously greedy for imperial power, otherwise he would not have risked the world's condemnation to become the emperor. As for Mrs. Liu, in Cai Ji's impression, this woman is not only jealous, but also good at playing with power. The Yuan family has fallen to the point where it is divided today, and Mrs. Liu has to bear considerable responsibility. But if it was really Mrs. Liu, she prevented Yuan Shu from becoming emperor again. Then Cai Ji still really wants to impress her. Thinking of this, Cai Ji put away the battle report in his hand and opened his mouth to ask, "Does Mr. Wenhe know about this matter?" ”

"The battle report has just arrived, and Wen Hegong has not yet been notified." Simbi replied.

"Go and invite Mr. Wenhe." Cai Ji turned his head and commanded.

"Whoa." After Xin Bi got the order, he quickly got up and sent someone to find Jia Xu. Then he returned to Cai Ji and said, "Lord, Yecheng suddenly changed hands, and the morale of the army in the city will inevitably be unstable. The Lord has taken Liyang. There is no need to worry about the future, so it is better to send troops to surround Yecheng before Cao Cao. ”

"Lone has made an agreement with Cao Sikong that Sikong will attack Yecheng and Liyang alone, and all departments will be related." Cai Ji said with a wave of his hand.

"At this time and that time, the Lord can help Cao Sikong to attack Yecheng and send troops." The person who said this was Wei Zhuang, a staff member under Cai Ji, who was selected by the imperial examination and was good at vertical and horizontal techniques. And some eloquence. The so-called vertical and horizontal techniques are combined vertical and horizontal, and the vertical and vertical are several countries uniting to deal with a powerful country, represented by Su Qin and the six eastern countries; Lian Heng is a powerful country and one or several hostile groups to form one or more alliances to achieve the purpose of disintegrating the other party and breaking each other, represented by Zhang Yi and Qin. In Wei Zhuang's view, Cai Ji united with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shao before, which is a combination of techniques. Now that Yuan Shao is dead and the Yuan clan is torn apart between his brothers, it is up to Cai Ji to adjust his strategy against the more powerful Cao Cao.

Cai Ji didn't know what his staff were thinking. Indeed, capturing Yecheng can build momentum in politics. But in doing so, it also undermined the Cao Cai Alliance. As far as the current situation is concerned, Cai Ji doesn't want to turn his face with Cao Cao so soon. Of course, Cai Ji would not really regard Cao Cao as an ally. So after weighing the pros and cons, Cai Ji smiled leisurely, "Sending troops to help Cao doesn't have to besiege Yecheng. Lone can also pursue Yuan Shang for Sikong. ”

When the staff heard Cai Ji's statement, their eyes couldn't help but light up. Yuan Shanggang was defeated by Cao Cao in Chaoge, and now he was captured by Yuan Shu, and the only thing he can do now is to flee north. If the Qi army pursues Yuan Shang, it is bound to go deep into the two states. In this way, Cai Ji's harvest will not be less than the siege of Yecheng. However, Xin Bi on the side still frowned, and asked Cai Ji, "The Lord really doesn't want Yecheng?" ”

Cai Ji said proudly. "Although Yecheng is good, how can it compare to the world. If you are alone, you can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place. ”

"You can't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place." Jia Xu walked into the study with an approving smile. It turned out that Jia Xu also wanted to come here before going to the banquet to see if there was any new war report, and he happened to meet the messenger at the door. After learning the news of Yecheng's change of ownership, Jia Xu immediately quickened his pace and rushed to the study, and before he entered the door, he heard Cai Ji's sentence "I don't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place".

"Mr. Wenhe." Cai Ji stood up to greet him. For the courtesy Jia Xu received, although the staff present were envious, they were not dissatisfied. Because everyone knows that Jia Xu is Cai Ji's master, and his status in the Qihou shogunate is second only to Guo Jia, who is far away in Donglai. What's more, during this time, the marching formations of the Qi army were all from Jia Xu's hands, and everyone also admired his methods and strategies.

However, Jia Xu didn't dare to hold it up, but when he saw him stepping forward, he leaned over and bowed, "I've seen the Lord." ”

"Mr. Wenhe doesn't need to be polite. You may be seated. Cai Ji said that Jia Xu sat on his left hand side, and then asked, "Presumably, Mr. knows about the change of ownership of Yecheng, I wonder what Mr. thinks about this?" ”

"The old man agrees with the Lord's theory that he does not care about the loss of one city or one place." Jia Xuyan glanced around at the colleagues present, and then added, "But the old man thinks that the main reason is to join forces with General Ziyi first, and then pursue the Yuan brothers. ”

"Meeting with General Ziyi? If Yuan Shang was allowed to breathe because of this, wouldn't it delay the fighter? Another staff member, Tan Xiu, interjected.

Jia Xu glanced at Tan Xiu and analyzed to everyone indifferently, "The Yuan brothers have been over the wall for a long time, and now Yuan Shu has forcibly captured Yecheng. Even if the lord and Cao Cao did not move, Yuan's uncle and nephew would kill each other. ”

Jia Xu's assertion won the unanimous approval of Cai Ji and the staff present. After all, the current Yuan's uncle and nephew have become a joke and a lesson for the world. If it weren't for the fear that Cao Cao was also attacking Heshuo, Cai Ji's staff would be happy to build his own lord to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Therefore, the staff at this time are most concerned about Cao Cao, Cao Sikong, who is their ally.

But seeing Wei Zhuang said worriedly, "I'm afraid that Cao Cao will become famous after taking Yecheng, and take advantage of the situation to cover the sky in the court." ”

"The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Rising fame is not necessarily a good thing. Jia Xu said loudly.

Regarding Jia Xu's statement, Cai Ji immediately thought of Sun Quan's allusion to Cao Cao's letter to persuade him to establish himself as emperor. Although Cao Cao was not fooled as emperor in history, this gave Cai Ji a little inspiration. So she winked slyly at Jia Xu and said, "Cao Sikong has always had no taboos, how can he be burdened by fame." Lone also wanted to help Cao Sikong. ”

Jia Xu knew that Cai Ji had always regarded Cao Cao as a great enemy, and when he saw her again, his eyes were full of a smile at the moment, and he couldn't help but playfully ask, "How does the Lord want to help?" ”

Cai Ji blurted out, "Please take credit for Cao Sikong." ”

"Ask for credit for Cao Cao?" There was an uproar among the staff.

"Yes." Cai Ji sorted out his thoughts and said his thoughts, "I want to write to the court to restore the prime minister's system, and to show Cao Cao as the prime minister, in order to show his work to destroy thieves." ”

The person who can be a staff member by Cai Ji's side will naturally not be stupid. No, as soon as Cai Ji's words fell, Xin Bi, who understood what she meant, immediately exclaimed in a low voice, "The Lord wants to be evil in Cao Cao's fire? ”

Cai Jidai raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "This is what Cao Mengde deserves." ”
