Xun Yu's face changed slightly when he heard Wei Yan's conditions, but he didn't show anger immediately, but asked rhetorically: "Back then, Duke Cao wanted to send his family to Yuan Shao, but he was dissuaded by Cheng Yu, I don't know if General Wei knows about it?" ”

Wei Yan thought for a moment and shook his head: "I don't know." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xun Yu said, "Then I'll talk to General Wei." ”

Three years ago, Cao Cao fought with Wei Yan in Puyang, and several encounters were unfavorable, just in time for the great locust plague, and the two sides were extremely short of food, so they each led their troops to retreat. At this time, Yuan Shao sent people to propose an alliance with Cao Cao, and proposed that Cao Cao move his family to Yecheng, which Yuan Shao occupied. Cao Cao Xin lost Yanzhou, and the food in the army was also exhausted, so he planned to answer Yuan Shao. Cheng Yu happened to encounter this incident when he came back from his mission, and when Cao Cao met him, Cheng Yu took the opportunity to ask: "I privately heard that the general wants to send his family to Yecheng and make peace with Yuan Shao, is there really such a thing?" Cao Cao said yes. Cheng Yu said: "I see, general, you are probably frightened at the end of the matter!" Why else would you think so indiscriminately? Like Yuan Shao, he possessed the vast land of Yan Zhao and had the ambition to annex the world, but his wisdom and strategy could not make him successful. General, you weigh it yourself, can you live under Yuan Shao? With the prestige of your dragon and tiger, can the general be willing to obey the dispatch of others like Han Xin and Peng Yue? Although Yanzhou is now ruined, there are still three cities, and there are no less than 10,000 warriors who can conquer and fight. With the general's divine might, and then reuse Xun Yu and my Cheng Yu and others, the great cause of the overlord can be accomplished, I hope you will reconsider it, general. Cao Cao then terminated the plan.

Xun Yu said this story, the intention is obvious, that is, to show that Cao Cao is absolutely impossible to send protons to Cao Cao, it is absolutely impossible to be subordinate to Wei Yan, Cao Cao did not submit to Yuan Shao in the past, and it is impossible to submit to Wei Yan now.

Wei Yan shook his head and laughed loudly: "Mr. Wenruo misunderstood, I didn't want Cao Gong to send protons, but to exchange people with Cao Gong, our army has now captured Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Guo Jia, Li Dian, and the corpses of several generals, as well as tens of thousands of prisoners." I can return these to Cao Gong, I only hope that Cao Gong will hand over all these wives and children to his subordinates, only then can I not worry about Cao Cao stabbing me in the back when I go south to conquer Liu Biao in Jingzhou! ”

He knew very well how important Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Guo Jia, Li Dian and the more than 10,000 strong captives would be to Cao Cao, without those people, Cao Cao might not even be able to fight Wei Yan, let alone deal with Yuan Shao.

On the one hand, he has three wives and three sons, and on the other hand, he is his favorite generals and soldiers, which is more important, if Wei Yan is allowed to choose, he will definitely choose his wife and children, for Cao Cao and Liu Bei, they are very easy to weigh.

Moreover, Wei Yan had already had a good reputation for not committing any offense to Mrs. Zou before this, and the world didn't know that Mrs. Zou had been dropped, and they all thought that Wei Yan had returned Mrs. Zou to Zhao and handed it over to Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao thought that Wei Yan, an eighteen-year-old boy, should not be interested in his three wives and concubines who had given birth to children, or would treat his wives and concubines like he had treated Mrs. Zou before.

Moreover, Wei Yan had already sworn that once Cao Cao eliminated Yuan Shao, he would hand over Cao Cao's wife and children to Cao Cao.

A few days later, several carriages drove out of Xudu, with three mature beauties and three children on board, as well as the clawed Huang Feidian and the Heavenly Sword.

In Wei Yan's camp, Wei Yan used the [identification] stunt of the seed artifact to identify the three women and four children.

The three beauties are indeed Cao Cao's three wives, Mrs. Bian Yuer, Mrs. Huan Xu Huan, and Mrs. Yin Xin Yin.

The four children are really Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, Cao Zhang, and Cao Chong, Cao Chong is still young and is in Mrs. Huan's arms.

When Bian Yu'er lifted the curtain of the car, she looked forward, and her voice was coquettish and tactful: "General Wei, there are six concubines, please take care of the general." ”

Wei Yan glanced at Bian Yu'er, and suddenly felt that something was as hard as iron.

Although Cao Cao's current wife is nearly forty years old, she is still like a thirty-something, beautiful, plump, enchanting, a purple skirt can't hide her hot figure, and her breasts on the thin waistline are compelling, no wonder she can feed Cao Pi, Cao Zhi, and Cao Zhang, three fierce people, if the capacity is a little smaller, it will not be enough for the Cao brothers to eat.

What Wei Yan likes the most is Bian Yuer's temperament, obviously she has a bewitching figure and a soul-hooking voice, but her face is very dignified, the standard is a good wife, a good mother, a good family, and a beautiful woman, but when her beautiful eyes flow and look forward to the flow of eyes, passing over Wei Yan's face, Wei Yan and her eyes are connected, and her whole body seems to be immersed in warm water, which is indescribably comfortable.

Bian Yuer, whose ancestral home is Langxie Kaiyang, was born in Baiting, Qi County in the second year of Yanxi (159), and the Bian family is a lowly profession, and is a singer and maiko who makes a living from her voice (not a prostitute, but a dancer and female star similar to later generations). When Bian Yuer was born, the delivery room was full of yellow light all day long, and Bian Jinghou, who was a first-time father, was very strange, so he went to ask the diviner Wang Dan, and Wang Dan replied: "This is a good omen, this little girl's future is limitless." ”

Having said that, when she grew up, Bian Yuer still inevitably practiced the family's menial profession again and became a kabuki. This family who made a living as an entertainer wandered around, and a few years later, they came to the land. At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty was in power, and Cao Cao was the Taishou of the Eastern County, and he resigned from his official position to return to his hometown in order to avoid the disaster of his relatives. Build a villa outside the hometown city, read and hunt, and entertain yourself. It was here that the twenty-year-old Bian was favored by Cao Cao, who was twenty-five years old at the time, and became the concubine of the eunuch Cao Cao.

Women in this era are usually married at the age of fifteen, and before Bian became Cao Cao's concubine, she must not have been perfect, but Cao Cao didn't care at all, and was still pampered.

In the winter of the fourth year of Zhongping (187), Mrs. Bian gave birth to Cao Pi. When Cao Pi was born, there were blue clouds hanging over him all day, shaped like the top of a chariot. In ancient times, riding in a car with an umbrella cover was an extraordinary specification, and the cloud cover on this little baby was even more extraordinary. The warlock with "hope" came to see the good luck, and when he saw this cloud cover, his face was immediately full of solemnity, thinking that this little baby was extraordinary. The Cao family was very happy when they heard this, and asked the warlock what is the future of this child? Can you catch up with his ancestors and also be a minister close to the emperor? The warlock shook his head again and again, and replied, "This is not the cloud qi that the human retainer is equipped with, but the sign of the supreme and supreme human lord. ”

Due to the turbulent situation, Cao Cao, who lived in the countryside, was also drafted and appointed as a military captain, becoming a subordinate of the general He Jin, and once again came to Luoyang, the eastern capital where his ancestors and fathers had achieved fame. Bian took Cao Pi, who was still in infancy, and followed her husband to Luoyang. In the sixth year of Zhongping (189), the Eastern Han Dynasty underwent earth-shaking changes, the general He Jin died, the Liangzhou warlord Dong Zhuo entered Luoyang, and abolished the young emperor Liu Wei and established Liu Xie as the emperor. Dong Zhuo felt that Cao Cao was a talent, so he named him a captain and wanted to reuse it for him. Cao Cao refused to go to the post and fled from Luoyang City with a few cronies.

Not long after Cao Cao fled, Yuan Shu brought news about Cao ** outside. This news made Cao's mansion chaotic for a while, especially the subordinates who had taken refuge in him earlier felt that they had no head, and they all wanted to leave Luoyang and go back to their hometown. As a woman who has been performing arts since she was a child, Bian is well-informed and very assertive, and when the whole family is panicked and has no backbone, the 30-year-old Bian stepped forward to take care of internal and external affairs.

When she heard that her husband's subordinates were leaving because of rumors, she was very anxious, regardless of the difference between inside and outside, and pressed her own anxiety about her husband's good fortune, and personally came out to persuade the troops who were about to disperse: "Cao Jun's life and death cannot be determined by just a few rumors. If the rumors are a lie made up by others, and you resign and return to your hometown today, and Cao Jun returns safely tomorrow, what face will you have to see your master? Is it worth it to give up your life's reputation in order to avoid the unknown? Everyone admired her and was willing to obey her arrangement. Cao Cao later heard about this and praised Bian Yu'er very much.

Cao Cao's eldest son, Cao Ang, died in the rebellion, and his original wife, Mrs. Ding, divorced, and Cao Pi, born to Mrs. Bian, became the eldest son. Mrs. Bian also gave birth to three sons, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi, and Cao Xiong, so Cao Cao established Bian as his wife. Mrs. Bian, who became the main house, still assists her husband, raises her children, and treats her concubines well. Cao Cao had many children, and many of his concubines died early like Mrs. Liu, and many young children were deprived of their biological mothers. He admired the virtuous and open-minded nature of his wife, and entrusted these children to Mrs. Bian, so that she could take care of them. Mrs. Bian has no guilt about the birth of these children, and she has raised and educated them wholeheartedly, which makes Cao Cao very comforted.

Cao Cao, who has no worries, can devote all his body and mind to the grand cause of competing for the world. Later, Cao Cao never forgot Mrs. Ding, and repeatedly invited Mrs. Ding to return to the palace for banquets in the name of Mrs. Bian. Mrs. Bian knew her husband's thoughts, and always left the seat of the wife next to her husband to Mrs. Ding, and retreated to the concubine position herself. Mrs. Ding was his wife at the beginning, and she had an adopted son, Cao Ang, and she never gave Mrs. Bian's mother and son any good looks. A few years later, Mrs. Ding passed away quietly at her mother's home. Cao Cao was very saddened by the death of Mrs. Ding, and lamented that he had no chance to atone for his sins. Mrs. Bian observed her husband's heart and offered to handle Mrs. Ding's funeral by herself. Cao Cao nodded in agreement, and personally chose a cemetery for her and buried her in the south of Xuchang City.

In November of the twenty-second year of Jian'an (217), Cao Cao finally selected Cao Pi, who was then the general of Wuguan Zhonglang, as his heir in the group of sons, and after Cao Pi became the crown prince, Cao Cao and some of Cao Pi's entourage ran to Bian Hou to congratulate him and said: "The general was made the crown prince, and the whole world is happy about it, and the queen should take out all the gold, silver and jade silk collected in the treasury for reward." Mrs. Bian replied lightly: "Cao Pi is the eldest son, so he is the heir, and I, as a mother, it is enough to be able to teach my son without mistakes. ”

Cao Cao was very happy when he heard Mrs. Bian's answer, thinking that her performance had the demeanor of a mother, and praised: "It is really rare that anger does not change its appearance, and joy does not lose etiquette." ”

Mrs. Bian advocates frugality, her clothes are not embroidered, the ornaments are not beaded and jade, and the furniture in the living room is not painted with colored lacquer, and the color is black. Once Cao Cao got a few pairs of exquisite earrings outside, and took them back to the palace for Mrs. Bian to choose first. Mrs. Bian's choice was beyond his expectations—she only took one of the medium-grade ones. Cao Cao was very strange and asked her why? Mrs. Bian said lightly: "If you choose the best, it is greedy; If you choose the worst, it is hypocrisy; So I choose one of them. "Under Queen Bian's example, the Cao Wei harem at the beginning of the creation was simple and thrifty.

Every time Mrs. Bian met with her relatives, she often said: "Be frugal in dealing with people, do not expect rewards, and consider self-comfort." Relatives blame me for being bad to them, and I have my own considerations. I have served Emperor Wu for forty or fifty years, and I have been frugal for a long time, and I can't turn myself into luxury. ”

In addition, Mrs. Bian's care for her younger brother is still as usual. Mrs. Bian's younger brother is named Bian Bing, who has been fighting with Cao Cao in the south and the north. Although his military achievements were outstanding, during the Jian'an period under Cao Cao's reign, he had poor official fortune and was not as meritorious as his Dufenghou, but he only served as a few ministers. Queen Bian couldn't help but raise objections to her husband. Cao Cao replied: "He is my brother-in-law, so I can't give him too much of an official title." In this case, Queen Bian did not talk about official positions, but her younger brother was poor because of his humble official position, and Queen Bian couldn't bear it, so she said, "Since you can't confer a corresponding official position, give him money." Cao Cao disagreed, saying, "If you give him some secretly, it's enough, and if you want me to reward it publicly, that's not good." Therefore, until Cao Cao's death, Bian Bing's official position was not promoted again, and his property was very small, and some people who were not as successful as him were much richer than him.

Cao Cao and Bian Yuer responded to that sentence, behind a successful man there must be a successful woman.

……

Mrs. Huan, a native of Pengcheng, had three sons, namely Cao Chong, Cao Ju, and Cao Yu, and in that life, after Cao Cao's death, Emperor Wen Cao Pi named her a concubine.

Cao Chong was born last year, and he is not yet a year old, so he can't leave his mother, so he followed Mrs. Huan. Wei Yan was ready to raise Cao Chong as his adopted son.

Mrs. Yin, the daughter-in-law of the former Han general He Jin, her husband died early and she had a son, He Yan. Earlier, Cao Cao had already taken a fancy to the Yin family when he entered and exited the mansion in Luoyang, and when he was appointed Sikong, he married the Yin family, adopted He Yan together, and had a son, Cao Ju.

……

Wei Yan also saw that the Heavenly Sword and the Claw Huang Feidian had been delivered, so he followed the previous agreement and handed over Xiahou Yuan, Cao Hong, Guo Jia, and Li Dian to Cao Cao's envoy.

Wei Yan didn't think about leaving Guo Jia and Li Dian behind, but seeing that Guo Jia's loyalty to Cao Cao was particularly high, and then seeing that Li Dian's favorability towards him was particularly low (his brother Li Gan was killed by Xu Huang), his life was not long, and the five dimensions were very mediocre, so he didn't spend much effort, and directly sent them away, along with 10,000 prisoners.
