"Very well, I hope you don't disappoint me, this time your mission is..."

With the departure of Zhang Qiang soon after, so far, a commercial road with Youzhou as a channel has also begun, and then it has provided a steady stream of money for Zhang Chao's development, which has played an extremely important role in Zhang Chao's pacification of the entire Central Plains, and even the expansion of territory in the future.

The whole country was caught in the war of the princes, Zhang Chao was indeed committed to expanding his own strength, and when the people of Bingzhou were moving to Youzhou and expanding the area of land cultivation, several very luxurious carriages were ushered in outside Jinyang City.

These carriages belonged to the state, and even if you look closely, you will find that the carriage is also engraved with the general's font, which means that this is a carriage belonging to the general's mansion.

As soon as the carriage appeared at the gate of Jinyang City, the soldiers guarding the city did not even check it, so they gave it a go. After that, a team of soldiers accompanying the protection was also dispatched, and the carriage drove straight to the Cai Mansion in the city.

In the entire Jinyang City, in addition to the General's Mansion and the Taiyuan County Guard's Mansion, Cai's Mansion is the most lively place. Just because Cai Yan is Zhang Chao's main wife, and because the three ladies are all married here, no one in the whole city dares to underestimate here. Even the carriages and horses passing by in front of Cai's mansion, no matter how Wenchen walked here, he had to get off the sedan chair, and what kind of military generals walked here also had to get off the horse.

But the carriages that appeared did not follow this rule, but came to the front door in a mighty way.

For all this, the soldiers guarding here did not have the slightest opinion, but raised their heads one by one, showing their best posture.

With these treatments, those who don't know think that Mrs. has returned to the door, but in fact, Zhang Chao's three wives are now in the general's mansion to accompany Zhang Chao to enjoy the joy of family.

It's not Madame, who can enjoy such treatment? The answer to everything is in the scene when the sedan door is opened, and I see two women with the appearance of a country and a city walking out of it. Looking at it from a distance, I saw that its figure was graceful and slim. If you look closely, you will see that the two women have many similarities.

After the two women got out of the sedan chair, two old men also walked out of the carriage in front of them. When they just walked out of the sedan chair, they saw Cai Yong, the owner of Cai's mansion, walking from the mansion with a smile. ”

"Oh, Cai Gong, how can I be greeted by you in person?" As soon as he saw Cai Yong walking out, the old man who walked out of the sedan chair also had a flattered expression.

"Hey, deserve it, deserve it. In the future, your identity will be equal to mine, and we still have to move around a lot. Cai Yong looked at the kind old man in front of him and smiled.

The person who came was Qiao Gong, if you have friends who know the history of the Three Kingdoms, you must already know it in your heart.

Yes, this person is Qiao Gong, who is known as Qiao Guolao in history. His two daughters, Big Joe and Little Joe, have always regarded the existence of beautiful women in history. Among them, the eldest daughter married Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, and the second daughter married Zhou Yu, who was extremely talented and intelligent.

Of course, these are things that will happen in the future, that is, when Da Qiao and Sun Ce were together, it was also in 200 AD, and there were still more than four years to go. Now that it is here, it is natural that none of the things in the future will happen.

At this time, Big Joe was only fourteen years old, and Little Joe was only twelve years old. But indeed he who has come out is very beautiful.

The appearance of the Qiao Guild here with its two daughters is also entirely due to various coincidences.

To say that the Qiao family was a family in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, with a rich family business, and even some fame. Because of this, Cai Yong, who was in Luoyang at the time, knew that the two had even met before, and could be described as Gu at first sight.

The Qiao family, which has a rich family business, will naturally have a good life if it is in the prosperous era. It's a pity that in troubled times, rich families have no power, so they have become fat on the chopping board, and everyone wants to take two bites. For this reason, Qiao's family was blackmailed a lot, making Qiao Gong live in fear every day.

When the hero's drunken business arrived at the place where Qiao Gong was, he learned the location of his old friend Cai Yongzhi and some basic information. When he heard about the stable environment in the state, he had the idea of going there to find out. It's just that the thought of leaving his hometown didn't take action.

But at this time, Cai Yongtuo actually wrote a letter to Qiao Gong, to the effect that he invited him to Bingzhou, and said how good it was here, and said that his eldest daughter was Cai Yan, the general's wife, and after learning that Qiao Gong had two daughters of Guose Tianxiang, he wanted to let him come to serve the general together, which was the matter of having a concubine.

Qiao Gong's family background, a woman marrying someone else to be a child is not a dazzling thing, but she wants to marry the general of the dynasty, and everything is another matter.

Of course, the reason why Qiao Gong left his hometown Yangzhou after receiving the letter was because Zhang Chao's appearance broke the original trajectory of history. Now Yangzhou Yuan Shuzheng and Sun Jian are vying for the right to rule, and it is when the fight is hot, it is really not peaceful.

Speaking of which, Qiao Gong and Sun Jian are also old acquaintances, and the relationship between the two families is still relatively good. It was only because he was fighting with Yuan Shu that he couldn't take care of too much Sun Jian and couldn't give due protection, which made Cai Yong's letter work. In addition to Cai Yan's support in this matter, she found Bai Tong and Zhen Mi to discuss, and as soon as the three master mothers combined, they found Huang Wei, the chief of the guard, and borrowed twenty iron guards from him, and with the cooperation of Guo Jia and Lu Su, soon a small army of five hundred people went from Bingzhou to Yangzhou, and then Qiao Gong's family rushed back along the way.

Speaking of the way, Ben is not very peaceful. But because it was under the banner of a general, few people were embarrassed. The strategy of distant friendship and close attack made the distant princes make friends with Zhang Chao on the surface, but when they arrived in Hanoi, they almost had an episode. Yuan Shaojun, who was there, wanted to intercept after learning that this was the person who was going to the general's place, but he was being informed by Zhang He, the commander of the Hanoi army, and the military advisor.

Yuan Shao is now attacking Si Li, and they consider that they should not be embarrassed by Zhang Chao and make a belly and back to suffer the enemy, so they will let him go. However, this release did cause a lot of trouble for both of them, of course, this is a later story.

After Qiao Gong's vehicle entered Huguan, Cai Yan arranged for the general's carriage and horse to meet him, all the way to Jinyang City. It must be said that many people know about this matter, but only the male protagonist Zhang Chao is indeed kept in Jiazhong.

This is because Cai Yan and others deliberately concealed it, they have been following Zhang Chao for a long time, and they know that he doesn't like young women very much, such as Bai Tong followed Zhang Chao at the age of fourteen, but he didn't really want her until he was eighteen years old, which is also the reason why Zhang Chao came from the world of the next generation. Seeing that Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao were both less than fifteen years old, I was afraid that Zhang Chao would not accept it after knowing it, so he concealed it.

The second reason is that Zhang Chao's main energy is focused on the production of opium, and other major matters are entrusted to Guo Jia, Lu Su and others. Unless it's a big thing, you don't need to report it on a small matter, so it's much easier to hide it from him.

It's just that no matter how you hide it, even if Gong Qiao arrives in Jinyang City, that Zhang Chao will come forward to meet him no matter what. After Cai Yan and the other three girls learned the news, they entered the backyard together and found Zhang Chao, who was directing the pharmacist to be busy.

During this time, Zhang Chao found some pharmacists who could be relied on, all of whom had learned some medical skills from Hua Tuo, and the most important thing was that these people were orphans who were taken in by Chen Liu, and their foundations were very clean. Tell these people about the process of making opium, and he doesn't have to worry too much about the method being lost. Of course, he is not without measures, for example, a few people are only responsible for one link, even if it is spread out, it will not be much of a problem.

After having these pharmacists, all Zhang Chao needs to do is supervise these people, and it is not so hard. Seeing the three ladies appear together, he changed into white clothes and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the backyard door, he said: "Three ladies, what do you need to work for the three masters?" ”

Of course, this is a joke, this is how Zhang Chao gets along with his wife. He thinks that if the husband and wife always keep a straight face, they will be too tired, so he always shows a very casual side in front of the third daughter.

The third daughter was also accustomed to Zhang Chao's daily behavior, and they all smiled when they heard his words, and then Cai Yan, who had already been out of confinement, stepped forward and said: "Zhang Lang, we came to you to invite you to the banquet." It was my father who came to an old friend, and he admired you very much, and wanted you to accompany him tonight. By the way, Uncle will go too. ”

The uncle Cai Yan said was naturally Zhang Chao's eldest brother Zhang Miao.

Hearing that the eldest brother would arrive, and he was Cai Yong's father-in-law's old friend, Zhang Chao naturally agreed, "Oh, that's the case, I'm definitely going to go." ”

Seeing that Zhang Chao agreed, Cai Yan was overjoyed, so he said, "Then don't Zhang Lang ask who it is?" ”

"Oh, by the way, who is it." Zhang Chao asked casually.

"It's Qiao Gong of Yangzhou." When Cai Yan said this, there was a slight hint of nervousness in his heart. After all, she hadn't discussed the matter of finding a concubine for Zhang Chao before. It's just that she thinks that Zhang Chao is now successful in his career and has become one of the biggest and strongest princes in the country, so he should be better taken care of in life. And with the concern of her, Bai Tong and Zhen Mi, I am afraid that it may not be enough, and it happened that her father talked about Qiao Gong again, so she agreed and made her own claim first.
