In fact, Hua Xin, Wang Lang and Dong Zhao did collude in private, working hard for Cao Cao to enter the Duke and add Jiuxi.

Of course, they naturally have to report to Cao Cao about these things, otherwise they will be in vain if they lick the dog.

After Cao Cao knew about it, he had already acquiesced to this matter.

After all, Yuan Shao divided the land of Sizhou equally to his three sons and a nephew, which was already a taboo in the military family, and no matter how powerful the Yuan family was, it couldn't be twisted into a fist.

And at this time, the news came that Yuan Shao was seriously ill after returning to Yecheng, and his life hung by a thread, so that there was no one in the entire north who could compete with the Cao family.

In addition, Cao Cao himself also felt that Liaodong Yin Kui asserted fifty years ago, "Fifty years later, there will be a real person between Liang and Pei, and its edge is unstoppable," this proverb is about him.

So Cao Cao couldn't help but feel a sense of complacency.

He has made such a great contribution to the Han family, can't he be a duke?

"They insist on adding nine tins to the Duke for their father, what do you think of Ping'er?" Cao Cao looked sideways at Liu Ping with a smile.

"This destiny returns, the son-in-law thinks that the father-in-law can just go with the flow." Liu Ping is familiar with history and knows that it is a matter of time.

As a modern person, he has no idea of being loyal to the Han family.

For him, supporting Cao Ang to ascend to the throne of the prince, and then usurping the throne of Han, leaving him a long-term golden rice bowl to eat and wait for death, this is the ultimate goal.

It's a pity that this purpose has always gone wrong, and now he has become the busiest person in the Cao family.

"Ping'er, do you also think this is the destiny of heaven?" Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled indifferently, he was talking about the proverb.

In fact, only the fulfillment of proverbs has been recorded, proving that it is the will of God.

Those who have not been fulfilled have long disappeared in the long river of history, and who knows?

Liu Ping smiled and said: "At the beginning, Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, it was his father-in-law who led the righteous division to crusade, before the Son of Heaven was covered with dust, it was his father-in-law who welcomed him carefully, and now Yuan Shao is plotting rebellion, and it is his father-in-law who leads the army to pacify."

This pile piece by piece has a rebuilding effect on the Han family.

The Han family wanted to add nine tins to the father-in-law's duke, which was exactly what was right for the heavens, so the son-in-law didn't feel anything wrong. ”

"Good!"

Cao Cao stood up excitedly, and walked two steps back and forth with his hands behind his back with bright eyes.

He didn't know that no matter what he did, the history of Cao's fortune would eventually be despised by the literati and doctors of the time.

So he had to rise to the challenge and push the glory of the Cao family to the peak on him.

Now that he has the strength to dominate the world, why not give him a status that matches him?

Entering the Duke and adding Jiuxi, what he did before was still a little secretive, but now even his son-in-law Liu Ping approves of it, so what else is there to fear?

"Let Dong Zhao, Wang Lang, Hua Xin and others contact the courtiers more, if the emperor does not agree, then ...... Forced him to agree. ”

"No!"

Full of favor to obey, then glanced at Liu Ping, and saw that Liu Ping had nothing to add, so he went out backwards.

Liu Ping is the county magistrate of Xu County, and although Man Chong is responsible for all government affairs, in theory, Liu Ping is his top boss.

And because of the last investigation of the spy incident, Liu Ping gave him the opportunity to make meritorious service and atone for his crimes, and he is still very grateful.

……

After dealing with official business, Cao Cao took Liu Ping to the back house of Sikong Mansion.

They competed with Yuan Jun in Guandu, and these men and women in the back house of Sikong Mansion, old and young, were very worried.

Especially when a few words came from the front line, when the Cao clan's battle was unfavorable, everyone was worried.

After all, if Cao Jun really failed in the battle, it would be these women who would bear the brunt of the victims.

Cao Cao broke through other people's cities, and *** women have not done less, if Xu is broken by Yuan Jun, how can they keep their innocence?

The older ones are only dead, and the young and beautiful ones will inevitably end up miserable.

But they couldn't help much, so for most of the year, the people of the entire Sikong Mansion were anxious and couldn't sleep at night, so they could only kneel in front of the statue every day under the leadership of Mrs. Ding, praying that the gods would bless the Cao family and resist Yuan Jun.

However, their prayers did not seem to move the gods, and Cao Jun's situation did not improve directly.

Others don't know the inside story, but Mrs. Ding can know what is happening on the front line from Cao Ang's mouth at any time.

In fact, at the last critical moment, when Cao Cao had a premonition that he was about to be unable to return to the sky, he did not hide it from Mrs. Ding.

Instead, he sent someone to inform the woman who had been following him for decades of the actual situation, hoping that Mrs. Ding could settle everything down, and after waiting for Liu Ping to withdraw the army, she quickly led a group of female dependents to flee to Yanzhou for refuge.

But with the fierceness of Mrs. Ding, as long as Cao Cao died, she didn't think about escaping at all.

What's more, is it safe to flee to Yanzhou?

The main force of Cao's army was completely wiped out, Xu couldn't hold it, how could Yanzhou hold it?

Therefore, Mrs. Ding had already informed the whole of the mansion that she was ready to live and die with Xu Du, and when the city was broken, she must not leave a living mouth for Yuan Jun.

In those days, the entire Sikong Mansion was shrouded in a tragic atmosphere.

He had even begun to secretly arrange mourning supplies such as mourning halls, shrouds, coffins, paper people and paper horses, waiting for the news of Cao's defeat at any time.

But then the news came, but it was Liu Ping who led the army to successfully attack Wuchao and burned all the grain of the Yuan family.

This incident became a turning point in the entire Guandu battlefield, and Cao Jun not only did not fail, but broke Yuan Jun's army and killed Yuan Shao's demon-like figure back to Hebei.

As soon as the news came, the people in the entire Sikong Mansion immediately burst, they cried and laughed, and their long-suppressed emotions were instantly released.

The funeral supplies in the house were swept away, replaced by lanterns and lanterns to celebrate the victory, which was even more exciting than the festival.

Cao's daughters all flocked to Cao Jie's boudoir to express their gratitude.

After all, Liu Ping's outstanding surprise soldier was the winner and loser of Cao Jun's victory this time, and the women couldn't help but have deep envy for Cao Jie in their hearts.

can choose such a talented son-in-law who can be outstanding and has made countless contributions, and there should be no regrets in this life.

It's a pity that Liu Ping only has one, and they can no longer find another husband who can be compared to him.

Mrs. Ding is also very happy, with talents like Liu Ping to assist Cao Ang, her son's position as the son is naturally stable, and no one dares to covet it at all, especially Mrs. Bian, even if the three sons are all outstanding, but without Liu Ping and other handsome men by their side, they can only sigh with admiration.

Since then, Mrs. Ding has been overjoyed and relaxed her control over everyone, and the Sikong Mansion has been really lively from top to bottom for a few days.

When Cao Jun returned to the army today, when Liu Ping followed his father-in-law into the inner house, he saw Mrs. Ding dressed up, leading a group of concubines and daughters, there were dozens of people, Ying Ying bowed to Cao Cao, and said: "The concubine welcomes the return of the head of the family!" ”
