Chapter 47 I came to propose marriage on behalf of my younger brother
"Yuanlong, what is the purpose of Cao Mengde's move?"
In the Chen Mansion, Chen Gui, who received the news, asked Chen Deng with some doubts.
Chen Deng beside him frowned.
The Chen family's father and son also couldn't understand Cao Cao's intentions.
The revenge for this interception and killing was like the revenge for killing his father. Cao Mengde did not raise troops to attack Xuzhou, but actually came to Xuzhou with his soldiers to propose marriage?
Is it really for a woman?
No!
Cao Mengde was not that kind of person. He was young and ambitious. When the Xu brothers were making comments on the first day of the month, they heard that Cao Cao was using his sword to make comments.
Later, he summoned the princes to attack Dong, and within a year he defeated the Yellow Turbans and pacified Yanzhou.
Now, how can we give up attacking Xuzhou because of a woman?
Chen Deng had already anticipated whether Cao Cao would attack Xuzhou.
He probably understood that these people valued his daughter.
Yanzhou animal husbandry?
Taicang Order!
How big of an official are those?
"It seems that Cao Mengde attaches great importance to Xi Yu!"
At the same time, inside the Chen Mansion.
In the evening, the weather is refreshing.
Early October.
Hearing Xi Zhicai's question, Old Man Gan raised his head and glanced at the noble man in front of him, and nodded quickly.
Chen Deng chuckled lightly, but he was not in a hurry anymore.
Cao Cao only found out when he led Xi Zhicai and others to Gan's house.
It's really admirable to be able to personally propose marriage on behalf of a subordinate, even putting aside family feuds.
Looking at Old Gan who was guarding the door, Xi Zhicai quickly stepped forward to ask questions.
The Chen family is an aristocratic family in Xuzhou. If Cao Mengde can act like a heroic leader, they might as well invest in him.
At this time, when seeing countless soldiers carrying congratulatory gifts appearing in front of his house, Old Man Gan was speechless.
However, all the generals in Yanzhou knew that the day to attack Xuzhou was not far away.
After repeatedly agreeing, Cao Cao did not delay.
"Mr., is your surname Gan?"
He stood in front of Old Man Gan, with a friendly face and a proper gentleman's demeanor.
And the name Xiyu also caught Tao Qian's ears again.
…
At this moment, Xi Zhicai is very different from the bohemian image of the past. He is dressed in a clean blue Confucian robe, with his hair tied in a bun and wrapped in gray cloth.
Today's big man is in chaos.
Xuzhou, Xiaopei!
I don’t know what day it is today, but after Cao Cao entered Xiaopei with three thousand soldiers, the entire county was in chaos.
Cao Cao and his entourage left just as quickly as they came.
Yanzhou, Juancheng.
Outside the city gate, Xi Yu and Dian Wei stopped quietly and looked into the distance.
He is not a nobleman, just an ordinary villager.
Xi Zhicai suggested with a smile.
Not long after, the silhouette of the army gradually appeared in the distance.
Ever since Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai went to propose marriage in person, the whole Juancheng remained as usual.
After some inquiring, I learned that there is a family named Gan in Xiaopei.
"Sir, I heard that Mr. Zhou Mu has brought your wife and her family back!"
But Cao Cao's actions made him think more highly of this person.
Only now did Tao Qian know that Cao Cao was actually proposing a marriage for someone else, and that the bride was just a girl from an ordinary farmer's family.
This time Xuzhou intercepted and killed Cao Song, and already handed Cao Cao a sword of righteousness.
"Uncle, since you have agreed, you might as well move your family to Yanzhou. How about you and I discuss a good time and auspicious day in the future?"
However, when the other party saw Cao Cao's men carrying property wrapped in red cloth, they did not dare to stop Cao Cao from entering Xiaopei.
Just before Cao Cao came, the village chief informed him that a big shot was interested in his daughter.
Xi Yu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the approaching team in the distance, and his mood couldn't help but fluctuate a little.
In less than a day, Juancheng had already received news of Cao Cao and others' return.
It's just that he doesn't know which one it is!
"A certain Xi came to propose marriage on behalf of my younger brother!"
Tao Qian had just received the news here. Before he could make friends with Cao Cao, he received the news of Cao Cao's departure.
Chen Gui was a little surprised.
This really made Tao Qian confused.
…
A long way away, Xi Zhicai, who was sitting on the horse, saw the figure of his younger brother.
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Old Gan in front of him widened his eyes.
Xi Zhi spoke frankly, and Cao Cao beside him also nodded: "I am the shepherd of Yanzhou, a great Han Dynasty. Cao Cao, I am here to propose marriage to your family on behalf of my younger brother, Taicang, a great Han Dynasty."
"Father, Cao Mengde is bound to invade Xuzhou in the future. I want to see what he has done this time."
"Yuanlong, it's really surprising that Cao Cao came here this time to propose marriage to Xiyu!"
Chen Deng had a smile on his face. Cao Cao's attitude towards his subordinates made the Chen family and his son feel much better about Cao Cao.
"The old man's surname is Gan. I wonder what your noble order is for me?"
When the county officials conveyed the news to Xuzhou City, Cao Cao and Xi Zhicai had already entered Xiaopei City.
Now that Tao Qian is in decline, all the princes from all over the country are attacking each other and fighting for territory. How could Cao Cao ignore such a large territory in Xuzhou?
The first people to panic were the county officials of Xiaopei.
But for aristocratic families like theirs, as long as they can ensure the continuity of their family, it doesn't matter who owns the world.
The crimson rays of light rendered the entire Juancheng city wall into a different scene.
Old Gan, who was waiting at the door, looked extremely frightened.
Dian Weiweng beside him said something with joy on his face, obviously happy for Xiyu.
A noble man has fallen in love with his own daughter, what else is there to say?
Soon after, this incident gradually became a legend in Xuzhou.
However, this time Chen Deng wanted to see what Cao Cao was paying attention to.
"Ayu!"
The news that Cao Cao had killed scholars in Yanzhou made the Xuzhou nobles still somewhat resistant to Cao Cao.
Probably because Xi Zhicai's tone was quite gentle, the old man Gan in front of him was no longer panicked.
Old Man Gan is naturally willing. Their family is an ordinary farmer. Now that they are valued by nobles, there is no reason to refuse.
The Gan family in front of me.
Cao Cao's move was quickly spread in Xuzhou.
Can Cao Cao not grasp it?
Even if Cao Cao is stupid, is his subordinate Xun Yu also a mediocre person?
Chen Deng was a little confused, but Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack Xuzhou, which made the attitude of the Chen family and his son toward Cao Cao somewhat change.
On the same day, Cao Cao took the Gan family and his entourage directly back to Yanzhou.
Old Man Gan's face was filled with joy, and he quickly responded a few times, then felt somewhat at a loss.
This was the first time Xi Zhicai saw Xi Yu behave like this.
It actually surprised his brother.
The convoy arrived at the city gate.
Xi Yu's eyes couldn't help but fall on the only carriage.
Chapter completed!
