"The last general (minister) meets my lord." Gao Shun, Xiahou Dun, Xun Yu and others lined up in a row, bowed and saluted Cao Cao in front of them.
"Thank you for your hard work. You are all meritorious ministers who have protected Yanzhou. I will definitely reward you!" After Cao Cao entered Dongjun City, he was in a good mood and patted everyone on the shoulders one by one and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Lord!" everyone replied in unison.
Gao Shunyu won the first victory in the defense battle of Dongjun this time, and was granted the title of General Wuwei by Cao Cao to the imperial court, and was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei. In addition, Cao Cao appointed Xia Houdun as the General of Yamen and the title of Lieutenant.
He was awarded the title of Marquis of Guannei. All other civil and military officials were promoted.
"Gao Shun, Gao Shun, you are now the highest-ranked general under my command. I will convince my father in a few days to marry my sister to you. This honor is hard to come by for others, but you must do it in the future.
Perform well." When Gao Shun received the honor and thanked him, Cao Cao thought silently in his heart.
Unfortunately, just one day later, Cao Cao heard the terrible news...
--------------------------------"What did you say?"
"My subordinates said that General Gao Changgong went to Mr. Guo Fengxiao's house this morning to propose marriage to Mr. Fengxiao's sister. Mr. Fengxiao has already agreed." Cao Cao's incredible tone made the waiter feel very strange. Logically speaking, General Gao Shun
She is in her late twenties, and the eldest is old enough. It is normal to find a girl to get married to. This time, he has served in guarding Yanzhou and has been granted the title of Marquis. Guo Jia is also one of Cao Cao's most trusted advisers, so the two families are well matched.
. But why did Cao Cao look so... nervous when he heard the news?
"This guy Gao Shun... this guy Gao Shun..." Cao Cao kept pacing around the room. If his expression was nervous before, it was close to angry now.
Originally, Cao Cao had planned to mention the marriage of his younger sister to Gao Shun like his father Cao Song after finishing his business today, but now that such a major change had occurred, how could he still have the nerve to speak out?
How to mention it? If you go to tell your father that he wants to marry his sister to someone else as a concubine, the old man will definitely beat him out with a cane. Even if he says that he wants to be an equal wife, the old man will never agree. If
He said that he went to discuss with Guo Jia about making his sister a concubine. This seemed inappropriate and very inappropriate...
One side is his sister, and the other side is the sister of his peerless adviser. What should he do now? Cao Cao paced back and forth without thinking of a reason. On the contrary, it made his head, which had a headache, extremely painful.
.
"Ah, Gao Shun is really disgusting, he is so carefree!" Cao Cao covered his painful head and shouted angrily.
The waiter on the side was really shocked when he heard this. It seems that he heard rumors that the boss in front of him has a short-sleeved habit. Is this true? If it is true... the waiter couldn't help but tremble.
I shivered, and a thin layer of goosebumps appeared all over my body.
"Do you know when they will get married?" After venting his anger, Cao Cao asked the waiter.
"I don't know." The waiter hurriedly lowered his head to the lowest position and replied respectfully. Just kidding, the appointment has just been made today, how can we decide on a good time and auspicious date so quickly? And from what the boss meant, it seems to be quite a bit.
It seemed like he was going to steal the bride... The goosebumps on the waiter's body increased a little more.
Cao Cao's sister Cao Ming is also in a bad mood at the moment. Gao Shun and Guo Cui, one is the great hero who just saved Dongjun City from fire and water, and the other is the sister of military advisor Guo Jia. They must be close to each other.
How could the news be kept secret? It immediately spread throughout Dongjun City. Although our Miss Cao is in a boudoir, she is not ignorant of this matter.
She even complained about her brother in her heart. It had been several months since she made that request to him, but there was no movement at all. It was better now, but a girl from another family had taken the lead. In this way,
, what should I do with my own affairs? Even if I marry into the Gao family, what kind of status will I have?
Of course, if Cao Cao knew that his sister was complaining about him, he would be greatly aggrieved.
————————————————————————————————————“Mengde, your sister is almost nineteen years old this year.
We have a family, do you have any candidates in mind?" Unexpectedly, after dinner, Cao Song took the initiative to find Cao Cao and talk about Cao Ming's life events.
But it's no wonder, Cao Ming is already nineteen years old, and she is definitely at the level of a big girl in this era. It's no wonder that Cao Song is anxious. If it is said that when he was in Taishan before, Cao Song was still avoiding trouble and failed to take care of Cao Ming.
marriage, so now that the family in Yanzhou is well fed and clothed, and the son is the eldest son in Yanzhou, it is natural that he should think more about his daughter's happiness.
Well, as the saying goes, it is better to catch the sun than to catch it. Since I mentioned it first, I might as well tell the story about Cao Ming and Gao Shun now.
However, before Cao Cao could speak, Cao Song took the lead and said: "Xun Nian, a descendant of the Xun family, is the nephew of Xun Shilang (Xun You). He comes from a famous family and has outstanding appearance. He is familiar with poetry and books and knows etiquette. I am very fond of him.
…”
Cao Cao didn't really listen to what Cao Song said. He just felt that his head was a lot bigger. I'm so dizzy. I dare to believe that my father already had a candidate in mind, so it would be even more difficult to convince him.
, it’s so big that it’s boundless!
"By the way, Xun Nian is only sixteen this year..." Even if the difficulty is high, Cao Cao still has to fight for it. He has met Xun Nian a few times. He has beautiful literary talent and handsome appearance. To be honest, he is a pretty good young man.
But he is only pretty good. Although his literary talent is good, in terms of intelligence and political skills, he is not even 10% as good as his uncle. As for running the army and fighting, I am afraid he is not as good as his uncle in the army.
Pawn.
As a scribe, Cao Song naturally hoped that his daughter would marry a literati. In addition, Xun Nian came from the famous Xun family, which further deepened Cao Song's desire to marry his daughter. But Cao Cao didn't think so. Putting aside Cao Ming's subjective wishes,
What are the benefits of marrying her to Xun Nian? To win over the Xun family? Xun Yu and Xun You, the two most outstanding talents of the Xun family, are working under him. It can be said that the entire Xun family is tied to his own power.
Why is there any need to win over her? Of course, even though his sister told him about the object of his love, if marrying her to someone else would make his own power greatly benefit from the marriage, Cao Cao would be cruel.
Ignoring his wishes, he persuaded his father to force him to marry. Unfortunately, Xunnian did not have such value. In other words, marrying Cao Ming to a scholar who could only write and write was far less valuable than marrying him to a general who was good at fighting.
of big.
But the biggest question now is, how to convince my stubborn father?
