There are too many talented people under your command who died young, not to mention other people, just playing Zhicai and Guo Jia is enough for your old Cao to cry a few times...

But now the two are living well, and there are signs of life getting better and better. Naturally, Lu Yan will not scare Cao Cao with these things.

Seeing many people looking at himself and Cao Cao, Lu Yan said, "Mr. Cao, you'd better go greet everyone. I'll go find Feng Xiao and Zhicai."

When Lao Cao heard this, he immediately opened his throat and shouted: "Okay! You must eat and drink well today, and you will not go home if you don't get drunk!"

After digging his ears, Lu Yan came between Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, squeezed a seat and sat down.

Guo Jia asked Lu Yan curiously, "When did you start dating Chen Yuanlong again?"

Lu Yan glared at Guo Jia, and said, "Why did the words change when they came out of your mouth?"

"It's because you don't understand well!" Guo Jia continued to ask curiously after arguing, "Tell me quickly, why did you go with Yuanlong? Why didn't he come back?"

An evil smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yan's mouth, and he described in detail the process of Chen Deng's treatment, especially the dozen or so pots of worms.

"Ugh...!" After hearing this, Guo Jia immediately covered his mouth and retched uncontrollably.Xi Zhicai, on the other hand, has already seen that the situation is not good, and has long been far away from these two hapless bastards.

Guo Jia has completely lost interest in looking at the delicious food and wine in front of him now, and it's all thanks to Lu Yan, a bastard.

"Lu Changsheng! I, Guo Fengxiao, are at odds with you! Vomit!"

Chapter 256 Concubine Cao's hidden worries

The night breeze was blowing, but the banquet at the General's Mansion had just reached its climax.

Liu Bei chatted with Jian Yong, Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others who hadn't seen each other for a long time, from the beginning of the banquet until now.

Both Jian Yong and Sun Qian were officials in Xuzhou, while Mi Zhu, under the instruction of Cao Cao, established the Xuzhou Chamber of Commerce in Xuzhou and served as the chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.

They have now integrated themselves into their own work and life, gathering less and leaving more.

However, today they are more just lamenting about the past, but they are not dissatisfied with their current life.

"My lord, I have to say that the way the prime minister governs the people is really impressive." Jian Yong said with emotion.

Liu Bei glanced at Lu Yan who was leaving in a hurry with Chen Deng, but replied: "The people under the prime minister's rule can have everything they have today, in fact, it all comes from Mr. Lu."

Mi Zhu and Sun Qian nodded slightly, and agreed: "That's right... I used to think that Lu Hussar was a little harsh on the family. But after I understood why the land should be managed by the government and not traded privately, I finally understood what is going on here. reason."

"The aristocratic family annexed the land, and the people could not make a living. This is the root cause of the outbreak of the Yellow Turban..."

It seemed that the topic was a bit too serious, Jian Yong picked up the wine and said with a laugh: "My brother and I finally got together today, we shouldn't talk about political affairs.

Come, come, come, drink this cup, there are three more cups! "

"Dry!"

At the other table, Xia Houlan pulled Zhao Yun and asked quietly: "Zilong, if we fight back to Changshan, do you want to bring all the villagers to Chenliu?"

Zhao Yun obviously didn't think about these things Xia Houlan said, after a slight start, he replied: "I'm afraid that almost all those who are willing to come to Chenliu have come, and the rest are probably those who are unwilling to leave their hometown."

"It's true...the current Zhaojia Village in Chenliu County already has a population of over a hundred people, and those who are willing to come, almost all of them will come."

After a pause, Xia Houlan continued to ask: "By the way, you know about Zhao Xue and Gan Ning, right?"

"I know, what's the matter?" Zhao Yun glanced at Xia Houlan and thought, "Why are Ziheng so many questions today?"

"Sir is also with Missy now..."

Zhao Yun finally came to his senses and asked, "Did you fall in love with a girl? If so, I can ask Mr. to propose marriage for you."

After Xiahoulan made a small gesture, she said, "How can it be! I still want to practice my innate qi!"

Zhao Yun chuckled and didn't reply.

After a while, Xia Houlan asked again: "What about you, Zilong, do you have a fancy girl?"

Zhao Yun slowly put down the wine bowl in his hand, shook his head and said, "The world is still uncertain, why do you call yourself home?"

Xia Houlan sighed, and thought: "Could it be true that you really want to be a bachelor for the rest of your life?"

This topic was too serious and heavy, after Xia Houlan sighed, she drank the wine alone...

......

Jian'an four years, early August.

Cao Cao gave a big banquet to his ministers, and the banquet lasted for three days and three nights.

Afterwards, the imperial court formulated the merits of each person, and began to reward them according to their merits.

Xu You, who surrendered, unexpectedly won the first victory in the battle of Guandu within reason.

After all, Xu You played a vital role whether it was "offering advice" to attack Wuchao or persuading Zhang He and others to surrender.

But Xu You is not as proud of his achievements as in history.

After all, he was forced to come here by Cao Cao's divorce plan... Although Cao Cao, Lu Yan and others did not point it out, it does not mean that Xu You is not afraid.

When Zhang He and Gao Lan were under Yuan Shao in the past, although they had the title of one of the four court pillars in Hebei, they were actually only Zhonglang generals.

After surrendering to Cao Cao, Lao Cao waved his hand and gave Zhang He a general who showed his strength, and Gao Lan a general who showed his might, which was regarded as giving them enough attention.

But the happy situation didn't last long, that is, half a month after Cao Cao's banquet and rewards for his officials, a bad news came from the shadow guard who secretly "protected" the emperor Liu Xie. Guo Jia's hand.

Guo Jia looked serious, and found Lu Yan with a note in his hand, "Changsheng, I have received some bad news."

Lu Yan rarely saw Guo Jia being so serious and serious, and asked, "What happened?"

Guo Jia handed the note in his hand to Lu Yan, then lowered his voice and said, "Concubine Cao, you are pregnant."

Lu Yan read the note calmly, and then under the internal force, the note instantly turned into powder.

"Who else knows about this?"

"Except for the imperial doctor in the palace who diagnosed Concubine Cao, and the shadow guard who first discovered the abnormality, no one else knows."

After deliberating for a moment, Guo Jia still expressed his worries: "If Concubine Cao gives birth to a baby boy, I'm afraid..."

Although the words were not finished, Lu Yan knew what Guo Jia meant.

If Liu Xie had no prince, then after Cao Cao's death, his son would have a high probability of becoming emperor.

But if Liu Xie has a prince, and he is also a prince who is blood related to the Cao family, the situation here is quite complicated.

One side is a grandson, the other side is a son;

Nephew on one side, uncle on the other...

Although there is a high probability that the throne will be in the pocket of the old Cao family, the question is, will there be a human tragedy for them because of the throne?

Although Cao Ang has a lenient temper, he is Cao Cao's son after all.

Cao Ang has never been relentless when killing people on the battlefield, and the personal guards around him are once extremely vicious death row prisoners... If anyone really thinks that Cao Ang is easy to bully, his ending will definitely be very miserable.

In the future, if there is a dispute over the throne...

Guo Jia seemed to have smelled a strong smell of blood, his handsome brows were tightly knit together, and he said in a cold tone: "Otherwise, secretly order the imperial doctor to drink it for Concubine Cao..."

Although Guo Jia's suggestion was the most effective and direct, Lu Yan felt that it was too cruel for Liu Xie, Concubine Cao and the unformed baby.

Guo Jia saw that Lu Yan couldn't bear it, and Guo Jia said anxiously: "Changsheng! Now is not the time for women's benevolence. Your kindness at the moment will only cause more people to be injured and bleed in the future!"

Seeing that Lu Yan was still silent, Guo Jia gritted his teeth and said, "Leave this matter alone and leave it to me!"

After finishing speaking, Guo Jia turned around and was about to leave, but Lu Yan finally spoke, "Feng Xiao! You are also the father of the child..."

Guo Jia was taken aback suddenly, then trembled slightly...

yes!Only being a parent knows what a child means to them.

If Guo Jia shouldered this responsibility alone, it is conceivable what kind of torture he will suffer in the future.

Lu Yan took two steps forward, came behind Guo Jia, and said, "This matter is not as thorough as it needs to be."

"Do you have any other options?" Guo Jia asked in a flat tone without turning around.

"Actually, if Concubine Cao gives birth to a daughter, then all your worries will be gone."

"Can it be a boy or a girl, who can be sure?"

Lu Yan suddenly grinned and said, "Outsiders, who knows whether Concubine Cao gave birth to a boy or a girl?"

"Huh?" Guo Jia turned around abruptly, as if he understood something, "You mean..."

"It doesn't matter if Concubine Cao gives birth to a boy or a girl, that child can only be a girl! If it doesn't work, we can replace the baby boy with a baby girl! I believe that no matter who it is, they will not object to this approach."

"It seems that it is feasible!" Guo Jia felt that there was a little room for manipulation.

"This matter needs to be discussed with Mr. Cao first."

"Okay, I'll go to Xuchang tomorrow." After Guo Jia finished speaking, she turned and left.

However, Lu Yan suddenly stopped Guo Jia again and said, "Feng Xiao, don't get involved too deeply, this is Duke Cao's family business after all."

Historically, because Yang Xiu got too involved in Cao Cao's family affairs, Cao Cao found a reason to slap him. Lu Yan didn't want Guo Jia to follow the same path.

Guo Jia's footsteps paused slightly, and then the light words came into Lu Yan's ears: "I understand, I will stick to the bottom line..."

Chapter 257 Miraculous anti-fetal medicine?

No one knows what Guo Jia said to Cao Cao after he went to Xuchang.

However, the defense around Liu Xie has suddenly increased a lot in the past two days, and Concubine Cao was also restricted by the people sent by Cao Cao.

How long has Liu Xie not experienced this kind of trembling and walking on thin ice since the clothing belt edict?But compared to his own situation, he was more worried about the child in Concubine Cao's womb.

But today, Cao Cao and Guo Jia came to Liu Xie's residence in person.

Cao Jie was half lying on the bed, and Liu Xie was sitting beside the bed.

At this moment, Liu Xie was holding Concubine Cao's hand tightly, watching Cao Cao and Guo Jia, and pressing towards them step by step.

There is no one around Liu Xie, who else can he rely on now?

He was already alone, who else could he rely on?

Liu Xie's hands were trembling, and his palms were full of sweat, but his heart was still extremely firm, and he even comforted Concubine Cao in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, my concubine, our child, I will protect it with my life!"

Concubine Cao didn't reply, but gave a soft "hmm".However, the look in Cao Jie's eyes was obviously more decisive than Liu Xie's.

Cao Cao waved his hand to push everyone away, and ordered: "No one should come within three feet, and those who violate it will be shot to death!"

Guo Jia nodded slightly towards a certain corner, and then the light in the entire palace seemed to become half dark.

"Prime Minister!"

"His Majesty!"

Liu Xie and Cao Cao spoke at the same time, and they obviously did not expect this situation.

"Your Majesty will speak first."

"No...the Prime Minister should speak first!"

Liu Xie kept his attitude very low, and now he only wanted to keep his child.

At the moment when he heard that Concubine Cao was pregnant, Liu Xie suddenly felt surrounded by a kind of great happiness, he was going to be a father!But when he reacted, happiness was replaced by a kind of extreme panic.

Sure enough, Imperial Doctor Liu diagnosed Concubine Cao Youxi the day before, and when she came back the next day, she was replaced by a doctor in the hospital.

Concubine Cao secretly poured out the medicine prescribed by the doctor. No one can believe that she is real now.

However, looking at the medicinal soup that Cao Cao sent and put on the bed just now, Liu Xie felt helpless from the bottom of his heart, and the deep fear seemed to drag him into hell.

Hearing Liu Xie asked him to speak first, Cao Cao was not polite and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Concubine Cao drink the medicine prepared by the old genius doctor Hua?"

Liu Xie didn't dare to look at the bowl of some dark medicine, and said with difficulty: "Prime Minister...the imperial concubine...she is not sick."

"Drink it, it will be good for both of you."

Liu Xie's eyes widened, and he was holding on to the hem of his clothes with one hand, the veins on the back of his hand were exposed, and he was bloodless.

Concubine Cao suddenly lifted the quilt at this moment, sat on the side of the bed, and said, "Father... if the child is gone, the daughter will not live."

"You dare to threaten me?" Cao Cao narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a murderous look.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense.

Seeing this, Guo Jia quickly opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere and said: "The matter has not yet reached the point of life and death, please Your Majesty and the noble concubine to think more about it."

A trace of despair flashed in Liu Xie's eyes, and he roared unwillingly: "Why! Why! I have completely given up resisting, why are you still refusing to let me go! Cao Mengde, if you want the throne, I can give it to you, just beg you Let go of the noble concubine and the fetus in her womb!"
