Chapter 426: The Chen family defected
At the end of the winter of 311 AD, Chenjiabao once again ushered in a large army, but this time they did not have the slightest nervousness, on the contrary, the entire Chenjiabao fell into joyful celebration.
Just because of the army surrounding the Chen family, they fought under the banner of "Chu" and "Cao".
In the inner courtyard of the Chen family, hundreds of men from the Chen family, as well as military attachΓ©s in private songs, gathered, and the reception tables filled the garden.
The main seat is located in the central pavilion on the highest terrain, Chen Ji, the head of the Chen family, accompanies him on the left, and Han Lu on the right.
Set off the Cao sex on the main seat.
Cao Xing was dressed in a wide Confucian robe, and the smile on his face was like being engraved, and he was polite to everyone.
"Thinking that no beacon fire would let Mr. Huang Long come in person, no wonder Sun Jian would withdraw his troops without hesitation!
After seeing the military might of Cao's army in a hundred battles, he regretted that he didn't send troops to drag Sun Jian down! β
Chen Ji is no longer as arrogant as Cao Xing when he first came to the Chen family, this time he not only entertained him personally, but also called the men of the whole clan, and gave up the main seat, and humbly like a subordinate.
People's hearts are like this, Cao Xing has no heart to pursue it, and the Chen family's overtures and revenge are a waste of time, and he is not interested, unless it is incidental, or has a deep hatred.
Looking for an opportunity from the Chen family's overtures, this is what Cao Xuan has to do now, and this is a huge opportunity, and it is wise for him to secretly rejoice in his actions for decades.
It's playing haha:
"The head of the Chen family asks for help, how can I not come and see in person, if there is something in the Chen family, my mastermind Chen Mengxian must not hate me to death!
The head of the Chen family doesn't have to be too polite, since Chen Meng first married my sister Xue'er, we Chen Cao have become a family, and when the family is in trouble, we go to the soup to fight the fire! β
"That's, that's!"
Chen Ji hurriedly laughed.
Cao Xuan stood up, raised his wine glass, and shouted to everyone: "Chen Mengxian and my only sister are husband and wife, we are a family, so this is a family banquet, that is, a family banquet, and I invite all family members to let go of eating and drinking!"
Raise a glass to me, and do it! β
"!"
The hundreds of people present stood up and raised their glasses, and the amber fairy brew was drunk in one gulp.
The matter of Chen Yang and Cao Xue, there was a secret rumor in the clan, but it was not allowed to be publicized, but now it was generously admitted.
At this time, Chen Ji stood up and announced a more sensational news:
"Clansmen! Chen Zheng and Chen Yang in the clan are now appointed as officials, and they are divided into county commanders and Beihai state ministers.
Today, General Wei of the Imperial Court and the pastor of Jiaozhou are here, and Chen Zheng is also here, and those who are willing to serve in the clan can recommend themselves! β
"You can nominate yourself as an official!"
The Chen family began to talk to each other.
Cao Xingxiao looked at all this, and looked at the children of the Chen family with some expectation in his eyes.
The famous Chen family is the foundation of the clan since childhood, and the world-famous Yingchuan Academy also has a place for his four elders in the Chen family, and many children in the clan can easily enter the Yingchuan Academy.
It can be said that the Chen family is full of talents.
At this time, Cao Xing looked at Chen Ji, Chen Chen, and Chen Qun with an expectant expression, these three people were the most talented people in the Chen family at this time, and each of them had first-class intelligence, especially Chen Qun, who could be said to be the inventor of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system that had influenced future generations for thousands of years.
Since Chen Qun, officials have been ranked in the Nine Grades
Before the three of them could speak, Chen Zhong couldn't bear it anymore, and the encounter of Chen Yang, who had been looked down on since he was a child, deeply stimulated him and made him stand up:
"In Xia Chen, the family of Sun Chen Zhong to meet Mr. Huang Long! I am willing to follow Mr. Huang Long, serve the court, and make contributions! β
Cao Xuan looked at this Chen Zhong, and while searching for records related to him in his mind, he had already put on a gesture of warm welcome in his actions.
I saw Cao Xing leave the table quickly, ran up in court, came to Chen Zhong's face, helped Chen Zhong up, and patted the back of Chen Zhong's hand affectionately:
"Xiaoxian, with your help, my Cao Jun is like a tiger! How about you first live in our army and do a good job? β
"Subordinate Chen Zhong, meet the lord!"
"Good!"
Cao Xuan applauded again and again, and at this time, someone in the Chen family stood up again.
"Under the Chen, Guang is willing to follow Mr. Huang Long!"
Chen Guang, Chen Yu's sixth son, Chen Ji and Chen Zheng's younger brother!
Another talent!
Cao Xing smiled and helped Chen Guang up, at this time, there were a succession of Chen family children who recommended themselves to follow, Cao Xuan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, enthusiastically helped everyone up, and promised an official position on the spot, no matter what your ability is, as long as you are a child of the Chen family, the minimum is a hundred stones.
For a time, nearly 50 members of the Chen family worshiped Cao Xing and swore allegiance.
At this time, Li Yan and Wenpin, who lived here and had never worshiped the Chen family, stood up: "Li Yan Wenpin, who is in Xia Nanyang, is willing to follow Mr. Huanglong!" β
Li Yan, Wenpin!
Cao Xing's eyes widened, these two are both influential figures, and Li Yan has always been the existence that Liu Bei used to contain Zhuge Liang.
Wen Ping is even more incredible, guarding Nanyang Wancheng for Cao Wei, withstanding Guan Yu's attacks many times, and defeating Sun Quan of the Northern Expedition, Cao Wei is a well-deserved famous general! And it is a rare first-class commander!
The arrival of the two was an unexpected joy that Cao Xuan did not expect.
"Good! The two of you came to my personal guard camp first to serve as a military marquis! After three months of familiarization and learning, I will be reused! β
Li Yan and Wen Ping didn't expect that when they first met, the other party would give this high promise.
With Li Yan and Wen Hire, I have no regrets this time! But it would be better if you could make the harvest bigger!
Cao Xing sighed in his heart, and at the same time, the addition of Li Yan and Wenpin, two first-class talents, also gave him confidence.
After appeasing Li Yan and the others, Cao Xuan turned around, walked in front of Chen Qun and Chen Chen, and raised his wine glass: "Feelings are like wine!" The longer the better! Would you like to drink this cup with me? β
Chen Chen and Chen Qun stood up, and Chen Chen even raised his glasses, ready to toast each other, but Chen Qun stood empty-handed and made him stop moving.
Cao Xing looked at Chen Qun quietly, just like a student in the college entrance examination, waiting for his test.
Chen Qun didn't let Cao Xuan wait too long, but he had already opened his mouth after Chen Ji and Chen Chen's eyes were just attracted:
"Mr. Huang Long, you are born in martial arts, and the generals under your command are like clouds, may I ask where the Shi family will go in the future?"
Chen Ji and Chen Chen's pupils suddenly dilated, and their eyes flushed, how could you ask so directly in public! How do you want the other person to answer?
It's playing with fire! It's a tightrope walk on a cliff! A bad Chen family is a catastrophe!
With today's Cao Xing's strength, if you want to pinch Chen Qun to death and destroy the entire Chen family, you don't need to do it now, just release a rumor, the powerful family with the most martial artists in the world will definitely let the Chen family be buried for his unreasonableness.
