"If so, if you choose to be your wife, who will you choose?" Cao Cao asked again.

Xu Zhen was immediately stunned for a moment, and when he asked like this, he naturally understood why he came to this banquet today.

When the Son of Heaven first arrived in Xudu, the Cao family naturally wanted to be close to him, and the best thing was to send his daughter to the palace as a concubine.

If I remember correctly, Cao Jie is the daughter of the strong, the most guarded woman, although she is still young, but after marriage in the future, she will be sent to the palace.

And Xu Zhen remembered that she was the only one who was smart and wise, and stood on the side of the Son of Heaven.

even said that his brother Cao Pi said something like "The emperor will not be Zuoer".

can be called a woman's integrity, but she can't reverse the general trend, but the end is so miserable......

The most important thing is that Xu Zhen thought of Cao Jie's fleshy face, a cute smiling face, and he couldn't bear it.

is so cute with ice and snow, how can you not save her.

"It depends on who chooses," Xu Zhen's face was as usual, and he glanced at Cao Cao and Cao Song, "If it is an ordinary family, or a meritorious person of the scholar family, you need to check its character."

"If you enter the noble family, you must choose someone who is smart and sensible, and knows the purpose of intimacy, so that you can do something."

"What if you choose?"

Cao Cao frowned, why do you talk so much today, I don't see you so twisted and twisted on weekdays, and you speak in a crisp and neat manner.

"Of course I'm all-"

"What!?" Cao Cao's eyes widened, and he stood up directly, as if he had heard something incredible.

"Uh, no, no, if it's down, just wait for Jie'er, I have the best relationship with Jie'er."

Xu Zhen smiled, almost saying something in his heart.

"Okay, that's settled."

Cao Cao put away a smile on his face and looked at Xu Zhen squarely, "Today, my father is here, and I will make the decision on behalf of my father and my wife, and marry Jie'er Xu to Xu Bowen." ”

"When the festival reaches the age of marriage, it will be sent to your mansion and the gift of husband and wife will be held."

"Huh?"

Xu Zhendeng was shocked, it's broken, how did you save me from my house, you, aren't you choosing a concubine for the Son of Heaven?

Didn't these people be sent to the palace in the future?

"As for Ning'er and Xian'er...... Berwen doesn't have to be too greedy. ”

"This, this is not ......" Xu Zhen couldn't say anything for a while, are you Xu Gong or are you harming me?

We'll have to wait at least seven or eight years, so what a.

Cao Cao immediately said: "Liu Bei will give you that family matter, you just have to marry, but the main room must be a festival." ”

"If you still want Ning'er Xian'er, unless you can save my life again, hehe, don't even think about it! Don't be too greedy, you kid. ”

"I'm just a few daughters, and there may be more ...... in the future"

Xu Zhen sat up slightly and muttered in a low voice: "In history, I was going to send seven to the palace." ”

However, since it is not to interfere with the rest of the family affairs, just to occupy the name of the main room, this is nothing more simple, it is nothing more than to win over.

And want his daughter to occupy an important position in the backyard.

Then I definitely didn't make a mistake, although Cao Jie is young, he will definitely be loyal to his husband's family in the future.

As for the age, it's not a problem.

No matter how old a man is, his preferences are around twenty, which is extremely single-minded.

This matter can only be undertaken.

After all, Xu Zhen really didn't plan to rebel against the Cao family, he felt that he might be able to survive beyond the scope of people in the future, but in troubled times, he had to rely on one side, and if he could get a noble status in the future, he would live a more comfortable life.

"In this way, Bowen is in Xudu, but he can become a scholar of his own."

Cao Cao laughed, and there were more expectations in Xu Zhen's eyes.

"Bowen, what official position do you want?"

"Imperial History."

Xu Zhen immediately arched his hand.

Cao Cao frowned, "Let me ask you again, what official position do you want?" ”

"That's it, Yushi...... Or the farmer will ......"

"I'm marrying my daughter to you, and you're asking me for a royal history?! Do you really not understand or fake you don't understand?! ”

Xu Zhenden smiled bitterly and remained silent, "Then, Captain Xu?" ”

The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched, and he wanted to throw all the wine in his hand on Xu Zhen's face, his lips moved frantically a few times, but he didn't say anything.

I've brought the food to your mouth and fed you! They won't open their mouths!

You've got to chew it for you, right?!

I've never seen anyone so confused in my life!

The imperial history, the general of the Diannong Zhonglang, and Xu Duwei are all official positions with little interest, and the imperial history does not even have real power, to put it bluntly, it is the arrangement and supervision of officials.

Impeachment of the unclean.

The other two are even more thankless, and the pawn farmer will be a general?! You're addicted to farming, aren't you?!

Xu Duwei is better...... At least you can govern the laws of the Xudu Inner Code, but this is not what you should do as a person who has made such great achievements!

If you go to be Xu Duwei, Yuan Shao will laugh at me Cao Cao is narrow-minded and can't afford to give an official position, and I don't know how jealous I am of you!

"You, you ......"

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and nodded Xu Zhen a few times, "Say it again, what official position do you want!" ”

Xu Zhen tactically leaned back, seeing that Boss Cao's face was flushed, and at this moment, he looked left and right at many henchmen and friends who were seated, and sighed and said, "Zhijinwu." ”

"Good! Just hold on to Kingo!! ”

Cao Cao immediately slapped the table, glared at Xu Zhen deadly, and directly said on the table, "Come with me to meet the Son of Heaven tomorrow!" ”

He was afraid that Xu Zhen would regret it again, and let him ask for an official position, which was even more difficult than killing him.

Is it so hard to speak?! As an official under my Cao Cao, no! Is it a shame to be an official at the feet of the Son of Heaven to say it? It took so long a day to ask for a ruling Jinwu, do you know how many people outside have broken through the threshold and want a county order!

Even if it was 2,000 stones, people would go around looking for treasures, and ask celebrities to bring them to my house, talk with me all night, and then offer great strategies.

There are even people who want to hug me and offer me up as the ancestor of the family, and the next generation will not dare to be disrespectful!

You've met me in your life, and someone else would have strangled you to death!

Cao Cao gritted his teeth and stared at Xu Zhen viciously, pinching his neck fiercely in his heart.

It's finally a little more comfortable.

Anyway, he still asked for an official position, but Chen Liutaishou couldn't let him run away, this person was like a toad, poke and move, and he must be pressed to death.

Otherwise, in the future, my daughter will marry a tired life, suffer for a lifetime, and help the world completely, and she will have a good reputation and a fart!

Xu Bowen! Stupid as a pig!

After a few years of Jinwu, Bowen was older, and then he was left to Xuzhou to be a state pastor.

Everyone else is rushing to ask for it, this bastard, I actually chased him to feed him.

I'm so angry that I feel uncomfortable......

Cao Cao glanced at Xu Zhen again, seeing that he was embarrassed to raise the wine, his lips moved quickly a few times.

Zhi Jinwu is responsible for the security of the guards in the imperial city, and his camp can just be fully placed, paraded day and night, and after meeting the Son of Heaven tomorrow, it can basically be settled.

This official position must be one's own.

In the future, when Bowen is gone, he will give this position to Ang'er or Pi'er.

Cao Cao is like a mirror in his heart, in this position, Xu Zhen can accumulate a lot of fame in the hairpin house and many celebrities, which will be of great benefit to him when he goes out to be a state pastor or a county keeper in the future.

On weekdays, in addition to arranging duty, there are not too many complicated matters, mainly in the face of emergencies.

and arrange the honor guard for the Son of Heaven's travel, etc.

It's also an idleness, but it's a prominent idleness.

How lazy are you...... Cao Cao suddenly muttered in his heart.

He suddenly discovered that Xu Zhen might not be stupid.

Oh no, this kid is trying to mess around!

……

Coming out of the government office, Dian Wei and Xu Chu were muttering all the way.

"Why not?"

"Taishou, you just want it, so that the lord chases after him, just looking at the lord's eyes, I almost want to eat you."

"Ouch......"

Xu Zhen immediately bitter, "The greater the official position, the greater the responsibility." ”

"Zhijinwu is already an idle among the big officials, and I still have to serve as Chen Liutaishou, it's too difficult...... Who wants to do such a thing? ”

He looked at the two people on the left and right, spread his hands and said helplessly: "How good is the imperial history, I ...... How do I know that I won't even give a royal history, such an idle errand! ”

Xu Chu and Dian Wei were dumbfounded, and their mouths couldn't close.

You're going a little too far.

When these words spread, the rest of the strategists were probably to death.

Your personal affairs have also been decided, and you will definitely have a share of the power in the future, and now you have the beauty of guarding the Son of Heaven, and you hold both civil and military positions, and your status can be described as the mainstay.

Still don't want it?

So tough? How helpless can it be?!

"Taishou, it's almost there!"

Dian Wei's face was pulled together.

"You know! Hurry up and finish this year, sneak out and be a state pastor! ”

Xu Zhen understands the road that Cao Cao paved for him, although he is not as good as his real son, he may be able to become one of the three dukes in the future, and he may also be able to get a knighthood and be allowed to open a mansion.

But the state pastor can still accept it, forget about the three princes and nine kings, even if the scholar clan is dead, he will not do it, and there will be many inconveniences on the side of the Son of Heaven.

Now you can still bargain with Cao Cao, if it is the Duke of Jin and Wei in the future, it will not be easy to hang your son, and you have to take care of the issue of majesty.

"Alas, annoying!"

Xu Zhen walked in front with his hands behind his back and an irritated face, and hurried back to the mansion.

Xu Chu sighed and shook his head in the back, and said in a deep voice: "Taishou is really a strange person in the world. ”

"He's always been like this," Dian Wei also learned from Xu Zhen's appearance with his hands behind his back, shaking his head and saying: "The smoother it will always be, the more he will spur himself." ”

"And often too conservative judgment, has always been very accurate, maybe he thought of something we don't know."

Xu Chu nodded thoughtfully, indeed, there are too many civil and military forces in Xudu today, which is not as simple as being stationed in a county.

Almost all of them are their own people.

This place is mixed, although people are not divided into three, six, nine and so on, but the status is clearly divided, if one is not careful, it will be assassinated by others, and assassinated by people in high-ranking official positions.

Here, Fang is the center of the whirlpool, but it's always right to keep Taishou.

……

Nanyang, Jingzhou.

Outside of the city.

After a great battle, the gates of the city were bleeding, boiling water and falling boulders were all over the gates, and countless corpses were lying in pools of blood.

The walls were mutilated, and arrows were scattered like feathers in front of the gates.

The soldier who was already exhausted was still leaning against the city wall and gasping for breath.

They had just gone through a big war.

The gate of the city was never breached, and it was Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses who came to attack.

It was also taking advantage of the fact that the city was not prepared, and the march suddenly came to fight, and the city gate was almost caught off guard.

However, almost all the cities in Jingzhou are preparing for the battle of defending the city, and there are too many tools on the city wall to defend against the fortification.

Moreover, there are actually more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the city, which can be replenished in a steady stream.

This is Liu Biao, after learning the news that Zhang Jinan went down to Nanyang, urgently mobilized troops and horses, and secretly marched to Suicheng, Fancheng and other places to garrison.

The purpose is to be prepared.

And when the reserves in the city were sufficient, the situation was naturally stabilized quickly, and for some reason, the other party could not charge many times, and even did not withdraw the army, and kept attacking.

It was not until the main general Zhang Ji was shot by a stray arrow and fell to the ground that he gradually dispersed.

And the guards above the city gate still don't know what happened.

They only knew that the city was a place for hoarding grain and grass near Nanyang County, so the city wall had been continuously built over the years, just to prevent the food hoarding from being disturbed.

Because of this, it is expected that Zhang Ji's soldiers and horses may have run out of food and want to come to Jiecheng to plunder, so there will be this attack.

Outside the city, inside the jungle of the retreating army.

Zhang Ji is dead, and before he died, he handed over the military power to his nephew Zhang Xiu, and entrusted his family to him, ordering him to listen to Jia Xu in his future plans.

Treat Jia Xu as the division commander, and there must be no disrespect.

Zhang Xiu cried for half a night, buried his uncle, and placed his uncle's concubine.

His wife had died of illness on the way, and the rest of the concubines did not follow, only this Zou family had nowhere to go, and was afraid that he would be married off to a different person from now on.

has been following Zhang Ji's side, and at this time he was also crying heartily in the carriage.

When it was almost dawn, Zhang Xiu counted the soldiers and horses, and there were more than 10,000 people, and thousands of soldiers were lost in the siege, and many soldiers escaped on the way.

Now there is no food.

He didn't have an idea of what to do.

Zhang Xiu, who was as tall as a pine, stood by the lake with a gun at this time, wearing a silver armor blood-stained robe, staring at the reflection of the moon on the calm lake with a serious expression.

Difficult to make a choice.

And what always came to his mind was what Xu Zhen, who was also very young at that time, said.

"Liu Hengjiang is by no means a good type, his people must be on guard, please don't be careless."

"This sentence can be called a golden saying."

Zhang Xiu looked up to the sky and sighed, his eyes were full of remorse, he was careless, and he would attack the city, who knew that it had already been replenished with soldiers and horses.

There is a steady stream of soldiers and horses replenished to the city gate, how can they be attacked, but now there is no food, can they really only go to the mountains to fight for the next thing.

And then make a living by looting past traders in Jingzhou?!

"I'm dignified Xuanwei Hou! How can you be so reluctant to make a living? ”

"Just ask!"

Zhang Xiu immediately turned around and left, returning to the military tent from the lake, at this time the morale was low, and only the confidants were still on duty.

At this time, Jia Xu was sitting by the fire, sitting on a wet upside-down giant log, in a daze.

"Strategist, please teach me what to do next!"

Jia Xu came back to his senses, what he was still thinking about was Xu Zhen's words at that time, and he didn't hear Zhang Xiu say anything for a while.

"Major General, are you asking for strategy?"

"Yes, what are we going to do now? Military advisor, now that the morale of the army is sluggish and the grain and grass are about to run out, how can we gain a foothold? Please sir teach me! ”

Jia Xu smiled bitterly, "If you have a foothold...... It's simple. ”
