"Gong Qiao?" Hearing this name, Zhang Chao was still stunned. But when it came to Qiao Gong in Yangzhou, he immediately thought of Er Qiao.

The so-called Jiangnan has Erqiao, Hebei Zhen Miqiao, this is something that many people know.

Looking at Zhang Chao's surprised look, Cai Yan hurriedly explained: "Yes, Qiao Gong is my father's friend, and this time he came to Bingzhou to take refuge. Why, Zhang Lang won't be unwelcome. ”

Hearing Cai Yan's question, Zhang Chao hurriedly explained: "Of course you won't be welcome, but I don't know who else will come with you?" ”

Zhang Chao asked like this, naturally asking about Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao. In this regard, Cai Yan and the three of them have already reached a unified opinion, that is, no one will say anything, and leave this issue to Uncle Zhang Miao to talk about.

"I don't know about this, we don't care about such things." After Cai Yan finished telling this lie, he gave the two girls on the side a look, and the three of them left together.

Looking at the back of the three daughters, Zhang Chao had already guessed the possibility of things, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the difference in education creates the difference in thinking, if this is in modern times, I am afraid that no woman has such a generous heart.

After sighing, Zhang Chao cleaned up and prepared some high-quality overlord drunk, and then went from the General's Mansion to Cai's Mansion under the protection of Xu Chu of Dian Wei. As soon as he entered the gate of Caifu, he saw the eldest brother Zhang Miao with a smile on his face, and it is worth mentioning that there were two beautiful girls standing behind him who were only twelve or thirteen or fourteen.

Perhaps because of the outfit, these two women make people look at it with a hint of maturity. Zhang Miao noticed that Zhang Chao's eyes were looking at the two girls behind him, and immediately narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Zhiyuan, these two women have the beauty of the country, are you still satisfied?" ”

"Big brother, this..."

Zhang Chao wanted to explain something, but Zhang Miao had already said loudly: "Zhiyuan, your current position is not what it used to be, and the future and hope of the Zhang family are pinned on you, and it is one of your responsibilities to spread the branches and leaves for our Zhang family." Okay, this matter is settled, and the eldest brother will make the decision for you. I also know your habit, so that when Big Joe is sixteen years old, you will get married, and Little Joe will be the same, and you will marry when you are sixteen. ”

...... ......

June 196 A.D.

Zhao Rui, a trusted subordinate of Wen Chouzhi, was left in Hanoi and cooperated with Zhang He to guard this place.

Qiao Lao took his two daughters and passed through Hanoi under the protection of the 500 sergeants of the Bingzhou Army, and he knew about it. Although Zhang He came forward to let go of this group at that time, he always felt that something was wrong, and out of the idea of being loyal to General Wen Chou, he wrote the matter into a secret book and played it to General Wen, who was occupying Sili.

At that time, Wen Chou was busy occupying Si Li's territory, so he didn't pay much attention to this matter. It wasn't until he pacified Si Li and made it officially the territory of Yuan Shao's command, not long after returning to Yecheng, at a banquet in Yuan Shao, he saw the lord and sighed to himself, "This Zhang Zhiyuan is really a good fate, after our Hebei beauty Zhen Mi became his wife, and now he has got the second Qiao of Jiangnan, I heard that once he is waiting for Da Qiao to marry him when he is sixteen years old, this really makes him enjoy the blessings of Qi people." ”

Wen Chou, who was originally drinking in a big bowl, heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up, and the wine glass in his hand was almost lost in his hand.

Wen Chou's reaction was seen by Yuan Shaozheng, and he asked, "General Wen, what's wrong?" ”

"This..."Wen Chou was very loyal to Yuan Shao, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he immediately knelt down on the ground and said: "Lord, the matter of Big and Small Qiao is really caused by the improper management of the last general. ”

"How to reply, stand up and speak." Yuan Shao heard that the matter involved the beautiful girl Xiao Qiao, and there seemed to be a hidden secret, so he asked in a serious voice.

Seeing that Yuan Shao was angry, Wen Chou didn't dare to lie, so he told everything he heard from Zhao Rui.

Originally, Yuan Shao was still wondering, how did this Qiao Gong get from Jiangnan to Merge Zhou, but now when he heard Wen Chou's words, he could be regarded as understanding. Immediately, he said with an annoyed face: "Why did you report such a thing now, what did you do earlier?" ”

"My lord, it's not ugly and I don't report it, it's really that I was leading the troops in the division at the time of the incident, and I took care of it flawlessly." When he said this, Wen Chou raised his head lightly and glanced at Xu Yu on the side.

When it comes to private relationships, Wen Chou and Xu Yu are really good. Now seeing that Wen Chou was blamed, Xu You naturally couldn't stand idly by, so he took the initiative to stand up and said, "The lord is angry." ”

"Huh? What does Mr. Ziyuan have to say? Seeing Xu You take the initiative to stand up, Yuan Shao's face softened a lot, but his expression was still a little unhappy.

"Hehe, my lord, this matter is about to happen, and it is useless to punish General Yu Wen. What's more, this matter was done by Zhang He, and it really doesn't have much to do with General Wen. Xu You was indeed smiling. He knew very well how ugly Yuan Shaoqi was, and he would never be punished for this trivial matter, so he was not cowardly.

Hearing Xu You exonerate himself, Wen Chou immediately hurriedly said: "Yes, it was Zhang He who made his own opinion, and he never reported it afterwards." By the way, when he attacked Huguan, this person didn't use any force, and now there is such a thing, I doubt this person's position. ”

Wen Chou thought of the original battle of Huguan as he spoke, and this turned over the old things.

Yuan Shao was already very suspicious, but now that the scriptures are ugly, he immediately believes a little and says: "Oh, does Jun Yi really have the heart to betray me?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao had become suspicious, Wen Chou hurriedly said: "Just by letting Xiao Qiao enter the state, this person can't get out of it." ”

Wen Chou's explanation made Yuan Shao frown again: "In this way, can't he have different intentions?" It's just that he is also a general under me, what if there is no evidence, I'm afraid it's chilling the hearts of other heroes. ”

Yuan Shao already had a sense of distrust of Zhang Hesheng, and this change made Xu You capture, and he immediately said, "My lord, no matter what, Zhang Heji can't be trusted, and it's inappropriate to put him in an important position in guarding Hanoi." ”

"Hmm." Hearing that Wen Chou and Xu Yu both meant this, Yuan Shao couldn't help but nod and said: "If this is the case, let Zhao Rui temporarily take over the responsibility of Hanoi, and transfer Jun Yi back first, so as to see if the effect will be good." ”

In any case, Zhang He is also a general who can fight well, and before there is complete evidence, Yuan Shao still has to take a look at what he is making a decision for.

"The lord is wise." Hearing that his subordinate Zhao Rui had become the general guarding Hanoi, Wen Chou hurriedly thanked him and said.

After talking about Zhang He, Yuan Shao began to worry again, "Hey, it's a pity, Xiao Qiao has now arrived in Bingzhou and wants to become Zhang Zhiyuan's concubine." ”

Seeing that Yuan Shao was still worried about this matter, Xu You's eyes rolled, and he thought about it, "Lord, don't worry about this matter, if you must want big and small Qiao, the minister has a plan to seize one of them." ”

Hearing that he could get one of them, Yuan Shao's eyes immediately lit up and said, "Ziyuan, what's the trick you can't do?" ”

"Lord, in fact, you like a woman, you can be open-minded, if you don't believe that Zhang Chao, don't you dare not give it?" Xu Yu offered a plan.

"This, Zhang Chao also has a certain strength, if he doesn't give it, do you want to take it forcibly?" Yuan Shao said a little unconfidently.

Seeing Yuan Shao's hesitation, Xu Youxin sighed that his mind was not firm, and he really said like this: "My lord, now that you occupy Jizhou and Sili and Hanoi, you can be said to be the strongest prince. But where to use the troops next, it is time to think hard. At that time, not long after capturing Youzhou, Zhang Chao led his troops to seize it, and this revenge could not be avenged. That is the case, why don't we move our army to the north, capture the state and recapture Youzhou, but I heard that the state has been very rich under Zhang Chao's rule in the past two years. ”

"What? Do you mean sending troops and annexing states? But didn't we decide to send troops to Yanzhou before? Ziyuan's meaning is to abandon Cao and attack Zhang? Hearing that Xu You actually made such a suggestion, he couldn't help but exclaim.

Yuan Shao's ambition was to enter the Central Plains and become the overlord of the world, and the bitter cold land in the north was not the place he longed for, so he did not take the initiative to send troops when Zhang Chao occupied Youzhou. Of course, it is not denied that he had the idea of watching the alien race hit Zhang Chao hard, but the result was too unexpected.

Now that Yuan Shao has captured Hanoi and Si Li, it is the time when the soldiers are strong and strong and march into the Central Plains, but now Xu Yu does propose to attack Zhang Chao first, which makes him a little puzzled.

"My lord. Entering the Central Plains is inevitable. It's just that now Cao Cao is serving the Son of Heaven to order the princes, if we move troops against him now, I'm afraid that the division will be nameless. Once the attack does not go well, I am afraid that it will attract other accidents, so it is better to take advantage of the battle between Cao Cao and Zhang Xiu to capture Bingzhou and Youzhou, so that we have enough rear, once the battle starts, the confidence will be enough. At that time, he was attacking Cao Cao, and he would get twice the result with half the effort. Xu You said with a three-inch tongue.

The reason why Xu You worked so hard was because of Cao Cao's request.

Last year, Cao Cao suffered a loss in Wancheng, losing his eldest son Cao Ang, and losing his troops for this. In a fit of rage, he decided to kill Zhang Xiu to avenge his son, and sent troops outside Wancheng for him, but at the same time he was worried that Yuan Shao behind him would attack him, so he listened to the strategy of the military advisor Xi Zhicai, and sent a heavy gift to Xu You, asking him to find an opportunity for Yuan Shao to start a war with Zhang Chao.

After Xu You received a lot of money, he was busy with this matter, and now he heard Yuan Shao talk about the matter of Xiao Qiao, so he talked about it in order to complete his mission.
