She is the eldest daughter of the Ding family, a wealthy businessman in Luoyang. Her aunt is Cao Cao's biological mother, but she died of illness early. Cao Cao was raised by his stepmother when he was very young. The relationship between the Ding family and the Cao family has been broken since the previous generation.
Attached to tendons.
In addition, the daughter of the Ding family, Ding Xiang, also married Cao Cao's good brother Xia Houyuan.
You must know that Ding Xiang, the daughter of the Ding family, was the woman who fascinated Cao Cao. Cao Cao was obsessed with his wife and had a great relationship with this daughter of the Ding family, Xia Houyuan's wife. This will be written in a special extra chapter later.
Of course, these are not the main point, the main point is...
In ancient times, when it came to divorce letters, it was usually men who divorced women, but...if we follow the normal trajectory of history, Mrs. Ding would have divorced Cao Cao...
If you think about it with your toes, you will know that a woman who can divorce a "married woman" must not be easy.
Lu Yu rolled his eyes and murmured in his heart, Mrs. Ding arrived so early in the morning, maybe the news of the war in the south of the city last night has not reached her ears, right?
Indeed, the news is blocked.
In addition, in ancient times, cities and counties were divided into inner cities and outer cities. The "nobles" living in the inner city would not know about the war in the outer city at all.
Except for Cao Xiu who specially sent the knights from Longxiao Camp to report the battle situation to Lu Yu and Cai Zhaoji as soon as possible, not even Cao Cao's wife, Mrs. Ding, knew about it.
However, the purpose of her trip has nothing to do with this war.
"My little daughter has met Mrs. Ding." Arriving in front of this distinguished lady, Cai Zhaoji hurriedly saluted...
"There is no need to be so open-minded." Mrs. Ding helped Cai Zhaoji up, "You are the daughter of my husband's old friend. Your brother has made many great contributions in the process of annihilating the Yellow Turban Army and integrating the Yellow Turban Army. My husband specifically told me before leaving.
I will take good care of you two siblings, and I treat you as one family, so please don’t bow to me."
After all, she comes from a noble family, and Mrs. Ding is only about thirty years old. She is well-educated, has a clear face, and appears to have a particularly calm temperament.
However, there is still a strong feminine aura in her composure.
Having said that, the first wife who can divorce a married woman's wife...just think about it, her aura is as high as the sky.
"Brother and sister-in-law are worried about me." Cai Zhaoji raised her eyes. "Sister-in-law is here, what's the matter?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ding signaled the accompanying maids to step back. She looked around and saw that they were the only two left in front of the hall, so she whispered: "Where is Miss Zhaoji's brother?"
"He..." Cai Zhaoji turned around, but there was no figure of Lu Yu behind her.
They were still together just now, but this time they came in a hurry... It's probably because Lu Yu didn't come with him, or maybe it was because the female family members were meeting... Lu Yu's brother deliberately avoided it?
"He... just came back. He's probably tired. He went back to the house to rest, right?"
"That's right... I heard that he was beaten with fifty military sticks. How could he be able to bear it at such a young age?" Mrs. Ding's cheek showed a hint of worry at first, but then the conversation changed... her tone became serious.
"But... Miss Zhaoji, even though your brother has made a lot of achievements before, he can't be arrogant, let alone be lawless!"
"My husband always talks about your brother Lu Yu, saying that he is very smart, very clever, and has great plans... He is just a piece of rough jade, but Miss Zhaoji, even if it is a piece of rough jade, if he is allowed to grow wildly and act wantonly, he will
Endless calamity!"
At this point, Mrs. Ding paused, and her tone in the next sentence became much gentler.
"Of course, if you carve it carefully, the jade will turn into a treasure. Miss Zhaoji, do you understand what I mean?"
Ah...ah...
Cai Zhaoji's cherry mouth opened slightly.
Yes, she can understand it, but... what is the situation?
Why does brother Lu Yu grow so wildly? Why does he act so recklessly? Why does he cause so much trouble? Could it be... the big trouble in the prefect's mansion three days ago?
But...that's not...
Cai Zhaoji suddenly realized that Mrs. Ding might have misunderstood, and she came here to investigate!
Realizing this, Cai Zhaoji planned to explain...
"Mrs. Ding, actually...it's not what you see..."
Unexpectedly, Cai Zhaoji's aura was a dozen steps lower than Mrs. Ding's. Before she could speak, Mrs. Ding's voice had completely suppressed her.
"I don't mean to scold you, but... people say it's the fault of a son not to teach his father. An elder sister is like a mother. As an elder sister, you have raised your younger brother all the way, and you are both a father and a mother. How can I not understand that?
What’s your problem?”
"The smarter a child is, the harder it is to discipline him. I know this very well. Look at the Pi'er and Zhi'er children born to Bian, which one is not a difficult child to discipline?"
"A person like Lu Yu must have broken your heart, right?"
At this point, Mrs. Bian let out a long sigh, and her next words were even more serious. "Lu Yu is now fifteen, and is about to get married at this age. Did Miss Zhaoji think of this?"
this…
Where to follow?
Cai Zhaoji's brows furrowed. Why did the topic come around to the matter of Lu Yu's brother getting married? But... having said that, at this age, it is indeed time to talk about marriage.
Cai Zhaoji wanted to explain...but Mrs. Ding's voice was like a barrage of firecrackers, giving him no time to react.
"Miss Zhaoji, let's look at your younger brother. He is so lawless at this age. He actually visited the prefect's house for a trivial matter. I heard that he even injured the prefect Zhang Miao. If this spreads... he will definitely have a reputation for having a bad temper."
"In this case... I am a child of a well-known family. Which girl dares to marry him? No one will marry Lu Yu. Is it possible that you, my sister, will accompany him for the rest of his life? Will you take care of him for the rest of his life?"
For life...
Actually, it's not impossible.
This is Cai Zhaoji's subconscious voice... But how can it be so serious? Even if she takes ten thousand steps back, no one really wants to marry Brother Yu. She, Cai Yan, is willing to accompany her brother for the rest of her life!
But soon...she took back this idea.
She is older than Lu Yu's brother, and she is still five years old, and they are siblings... In ancient times, it was extremely rare for a woman to have a husband at the age of five. In addition, the relationship between sister and brother, and the relationship between master and apprentice was a big taboo.
Cai Zhaoji felt that she could not be too selfish. She would rather leave the pain to herself than let Brother Yu's reputation suffer even a little bit.
Um…
We must let brother Lu Yu marry a girl from a wealthy family!
We must let brother Lu Yu marry countless beauties...
This idea in Cai Zhaoji's mind became more and more determined, but...it was urgent and she had to explain...
Mrs. Ding cannot be allowed to let these wealthy families misunderstand her brother.
"Mrs. Ding, can you please listen to me..."
The same words were spoken, and the same words were suppressed by the strong Mrs. Ding. One was quiet and elegant, the other was heroic. In terms of aura alone, Cai Zhaoji was suppressed to death.
"Miss Zhaoji, do you know...who is Zhang Miao, the person your brother offended and injured?"
"He is not an ordinary prefect. In the past...when my husband came to Yanzhou, in addition to receiving guidance from Yinlin, he had the greatest help from brother Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei Province, and Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu County. It can be said that without them...there would be no
Now my husband is sitting in this land of Yanzhou."
"In addition, Zhang Taishou is my husband's classmate in Imperial College. We have been classmates for six years and we have always been inseparable... Before my husband left for Xuzhou, he repeatedly told me that this trip was dangerous. If anything happened to him, he asked me to take my whole family to Zhang.
Taishou, Taishou Zhang will live up to his husband."
"Now...your brother Lu Yu and Prefect Zhang are having such a quarrel. If my husband knows that...the palms and backs of his hands are full of flesh, what will Miss Zhaoji want him to do?"
Another barrage of questions. In front of Mrs. Ding, Cai Zhaoji was like a primary school student... However, she had something in her heart but had no chance to speak. It was so uncomfortable...
"Miss Zhaoji, do you know that my son... is my husband's eldest son, Cao Ang."
When mentioning Cao Ang, Mrs. Ding could not hide her praises. "Ang'er is well-educated and sensible, benevolent, righteous, courteous and filial. He has received rave reviews wherever he goes. As early as half a year ago, my husband even made an engagement with Zhang Taishou, and we will be engaged next year."
Getting married!"
"Miss Zhaoji, think about it. A young master who is praised by everyone and liked by everyone can marry the daughter of Governor Zhang. Who in Yanzhou would not envy him?"
Cao Ang is Cao Cao's eldest son, born to Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu was originally Mrs. Ding's maid, and gave birth to her eldest son Cao Ang and her second son Cao Shuo. However, she died in childbirth during the birth of Cao Shuo.
Mrs. Ding regarded Cao Ang and Cao Shuo as her own children, but it was a pity that Cao Shuo died young due to illness...
It can be said that Cao Ang is all of Mrs. Ding's hopes and sustenance.
This time, the purpose of Mrs. Ding's visit was not to drink, but to discuss the marriage between Cao Ang and Zhang Miao's daughter.
Her husband, Cao Cao, valued Lu Yu, but Lu Yu had an enmity with Zhang Miao. As Cao Cao's royal wife, Mrs. Ding had to resolve this feud, so that Ang'er could marry Zhang Miao's daughter as he wished and win the support of the Yanzhou clan.
Of course, apart from Zhang Miao's daughter, the girls who are similar in age to Cao Ang and Lu Yu, and who are waiting to be named boudoir, also have Cao Cao's favorite eldest daughter Cao Mu (the eldest princess of Qinghe, whose name is not recorded, so let's name her Mu!
), and Xia Houjuan, Xia Houyuan’s niece.
It can be said that these three rich ladies are the favorites of all Yanzhou men.
"Miss Zhaoji, I came here and talked a lot. The main thing is that I want you to discipline your little brother well. Even if he is smart, he must not be arrogant, and even if he is smart, he must not lose his temper.
Etiquette."
"It will do no good to his reputation to offend Prefect Zhang. If word really spreads and is boycotted by the Yanzhou clan, then your brother will probably have to marry a girl from a poor family? If this is the case, Miss Zhaoji
Are you willing?"
"It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Your brother has already been punished fifty times with a cane, so he has been punished... Then you might as well go to the house to apologize to Prefect Zhang, which can be regarded as resolving this grudge."
Finally... Mrs. Ding finished speaking. She is a very strong woman. When she spoke, it was impossible for Cai Zhaoji to get in the way.
Now, is it time to explain?
Cai Zhaoji slowly asked Mrs. Ding to sit down. "Madam, please sit down first. Let me tell you... There is a big reason for this!"
The words just started…
"Dong dong dong...dong dong dong..."
There was a loud knock on the door. Cai Zhaoji and Mrs. Ding were talking not far from the door, so they heard it very clearly.
Don't wait for the door to open...
Cao Chun's voice came from outside the door.
"Miss Cai, Mr. Lu, please open the door quickly."
"There was a great victory in the south of the city. Zhang Miao had an affair with Lu Bu. Mr. Lu had no plans left and he planned to use his plan. Then Lu Bu's son was defeated and fled, and his troops were less than 30%!"
"Now Chenliu County has turned the corner, Chenliu County is out of danger!"
…
Ah...ah...
These sounds came to Mrs. Ding's ears.
What? What's going on?
Mrs. Ding could tell that it was Cao Chun's voice. Cao Chun was a clan brother whom her husband trusted, so his words were naturally worthy of belief...
But some of the points he mentioned... were a bit unbelievable.
Zhang Miao had an affair with Lu Bu?
Is Master Lu Yu planning to leave no stone unturned?
This...what exactly happened here?
How could Zhang Miao... my husband's classmate and best friend betray him? Have an affair with Lu Bu? Is Chenliu County... actually in danger?
Wait, Mrs. Ding suddenly realized a more critical issue.
If Cao Chun's words of "nothing is left behind and every plan must be taken into consideration" are true, then... three days ago Lu Yu made a scene in the prefect's mansion and injured Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu, which means a lot!
…
…
Yanzhou is Fan County not far from Chenliu County.
The name of the county magistrate here is Jin Yun, and his brows are frowning tightly at this moment. As for the reason, there is no other... His mother and brother's wife was secretly abducted by Chen Gong.
I heard that Lu Bu's generals Hou Cheng and Wei Xu led their troops to kill... Chen Gong has also issued a final ultimatum. If Fan County does not surrender, then... When Fan County attacked the city, Jin Yun's young general's head was missing.
Similar to the situation of Fan County Magistrate Jin Yun, there are many county magistrates and county magistrates.
Uniting the Yanzhou clan and raiding Chenliu County was Chen Gong's first plan;
It was Chen Gong's second plan to kidnap the families of county magistrates and county magistrates.
In his opinion, if Chenliu County can be captured, it will be logical for the Yanzhou clan to surrender to Lu Bu... He is not afraid that these counties will surrender without hesitation.
Even if Chenliu County cannot be captured, then... if they use a large army to suppress the territory and threaten their families, it will be a different situation.
Now... Chenliu County has not been captured, and the army has suffered heavy losses. This undoubtedly disrupted Chen Gong's original plan, but his plan after the defeat... was also a killer move.
Of course...not every child of the county magistrate in every county was abducted by Lu Bu, just...Jin Yun, the magistrate of Fan County, was the unlucky one, and the county magistrate of Dong'e County was also connected with him!
And now, the man standing in front of Jin Yun had just cut off the head of Dong'e County Cheng three hours ago...
Now it is on the document placed in front of Jin Yun.
Cheng Yu happened to be robbing tombs in Dong'e County...
Who would have thought... when he heard the news that the local magistrate planned to dedicate Dong'e County to Lu Bu, he immediately picked up the dagger and plunged it into the head of the magistrate. After that... Cheng Yu expressionlessly cut off the magistrate's head, saying "
He controlled the situation in Dong'a County with the seal and ribbon of "Faqiu Seal", and then rushed to nearby Fan County with the "Faqiu Order" and the "County Prime Minister"! Fan County and Dong'a County are both transportation hubs in the hinterland of Yanzhou.
Tao, there is no room for error…
"Cheng Sima, Cheng Sima, you are forcing me..." Jin Yun spoke.
That's right, standing in front of the magistrate of Fan County is none other than Long Xiaoqi's military commander, Ma Cheng Yu...
Now, the intelligence from the front line has not been sent back. They only know that Lu Bu raided Chenliu last night. What is the situation in Chenliu County now? No one knows. If something goes wrong, if they continue to resist stubbornly, it will be a bit like mantis trying to control the chariot.
Cheng Yu took a deep breath and frowned: "I heard that Lu Bu kidnapped your mother. We men rule the world with filial piety. Logically speaking, I shouldn't persuade you."
"But now is a very special time. The world is in chaos, and all the heroes have risen together. The one who can calm the world must be Cao Gong. Those who win are rampant, and those who lose their masters perish. Zhang Miao betrayed Gong Cao and went to Lu Bu. I predict that he will die a violent death! If so at this moment, Fan County
Responding to Lu Bu, brother, is tantamount to self-destruction! I am saving brother!"
Speaking of this, Cheng Yu placed the seal and ribbon of "Faqiu Seal" on the document.
This "Faqiu Seal" is very powerful. Cao Cao once informed the states and counties in a secret letter that carrying this seal and ribbon can mobilize local soldiers and bravery on a small scale, break mountains and rocks, and mobilize all resources. If the counties and counties do not obey, they can be beheaded first and then followed.
Report!
Nowadays, a Faqiu seal and the head of Dong'e County Magistrate are no different than a lightning strike to Fan County Magistrate Jin Yun.
Cheng Yu continued to speak at the right time: "I received a secret letter from my Mr. Lu at dawn today. He had expected that Lu Bu would join forces with Zhang Miao to plot against Chenliu County. He had already set up an ambush and asked me to act accordingly... Lu Bu must have been defeated now."
!”
"Although the Bingzhou wolf cavalry is brave, they can't compare with my young master's ability to predict the enemy ahead of him. He can predict things like a god, and they can't compare with Duke Cao's use of troops and generals. At this time, it is the time for you to express your loyalty to Duke Cao. You can guard Fan.
County, I will defend Dong'e County, and the entire Yanzhou traffic chokepoint will be strangled by us. Even if there are people with both ends of the spectrum who try to unite with Lu Bu, we will cut them off! This is an unparalleled achievement! You have to do a good job
consider!"
Uh...think about it?
Jin Yun was startled. He could clearly feel that there was a sharp weapon hidden in Cheng Yu's chest. He had no doubt that if he didn't agree, Cheng Yu would cut off his head with a knife.
"I...I never dare to have second thoughts!"
"Okay! From now on, I will control the troops and horses of Fan County!" Cheng Yu raised the Faqiu Seal and waved it in front of him for the last time, "I will truthfully report your decision to Mr. Lu, and he will report it to Cao Cao on your behalf.
Please take credit."
In a nutshell, Cheng Yu went to urgently mobilize troops...
When the enemy forces press on the border, they must be attacked head-on, in order to strengthen the confidence of the counties and counties in the hinterland of Yanzhou.
And... the so-called receipt of Mr. Lu's seal and ribbon this morning was all made up by Cheng Yu. No one knows what the situation is in Chenliu County!
But... from the bottom of his heart, Cheng Yu believed in the one hundred and twenty commanders of their Dragon Riders, and in the young master whom he admired so much - Lu Yu!
