System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

When Xi Zhicai spoke, he coughed violently from time to time.

"Zhicai, I understand everything you said."

"But...there must be a reason to send troops."

"To raise an unknown army, wouldn't that just give people something to talk about?"

Cao Cao sighed and said helplessly.

Fighting a war requires a legitimate reason.

But Cao Cao could not think of any other excuse to use his troops against the surrounding areas.

"This... so-called name is just an excuse to hit someone."

"Ahem, since it's just an excuse, there's no need to worry about its authenticity."

"Several years ago, my lord went to Yangzhou to recruit soldiers, but in the end, these thousands of elite soldiers all fled to Tao Qian's side."

"My lord, why don't you reprimand Tao Qian and force him to return... ahem, return these thousands of elite soldiers?"

Xi Zhicai's expression turned gloomy and he spoke in a low voice.

"Although this is an excuse, it's still a bit far-fetched."

"Let's try it first, and then think of other ways if it doesn't work."

"You have to take care of your health. You can't stay sick like this."

Cao Cao nodded, then looked at Xi Zhicai with concern.

Lao Cao actually doesn't put on airs when it comes to capable people.

Looking at Xi Zhicai, Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Xun You and Cheng Yu, they all had a good personal relationship with Cao Cao.

It can be seen that although Lao Cao is cruel to outsiders, he is also quite concerned about his own people.

"My lord, I dare not die until your great cause is accomplished."

Xi Zhicai bowed and smiled.

"You, you."

Cao Cao pointed helplessly but with great favor.

"Ahem, by the way, lord, didn't you say you wanted to bring the old lord here to enjoy the good life?"

Xi Zhicai coughed lightly and asked curiously.

"My father is quite wealthy."

"A lot of things needed to be sold, so I wasn't able to come here before winter this year."

"Calculating the time, when the weather gets warmer next spring, we should be able to come over."

"Oh, right, I have a younger brother who takes good care of my father. Now he can come with me, so he's an extra helper. Hahahaha."

Thinking that he would soon see his old father and younger brother, Cao Cao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Cao Cao participated in the campaign against Dong Zhuo, Cao Song was worried that his eldest son would cause trouble, so he decisively took his second son Cao De and ran away.

After not seeing his father for many years, Cao Cao still missed his father very much.

...

Langya

In a mansion, Cao Song was watching his son read.

Looking at his well-behaved second son, Cao Song's heart was comforted.

"De'er, don't be like your brother in the future."

Cao Song stroked his gray beard and gave instructions with a smile.

"Father, isn't my eldest brother very outstanding?"

Cao De was a little confused.

My brother is now the governor of Yanzhou, why does he still make his father so unhappy?

"Hmph, excellent, you only saw that he became a governor in a muddled way."

"You haven't seen how much worry your father had to bear with him in the early years."

"I told him to keep a low profile and not work hard, but he insisted on being high-profile and working hard."

"Because of what he did before, our family paid a lot of money. Otherwise, with the way he did things, he would have been buried somewhere long ago."

Cao Song was lost in memories and couldn't help but complain.

When Cao Cao was young, he formed a chaotic group with Yuan Shao and others.

This disturbed many families in Luoyang City.

In the end, wasn't it Cao who had to pay to solve it?

After finally becoming an official, he beat Jian Shuo's uncle to death.

If he hadn't begged for help and given a large sum of money, and if their Cao family hadn't had a close relationship with eunuchs.

Cao Cao's outcome was definitely not as simple as being promoted in name only and demoted in reality.

Later, because of his contribution to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Cao Cao was appointed Prime Minister of Jinan. He vigorously punished corrupt officials in the local area, which offended many people and affected the entire interest chain.

Everyone says that Cao Song is a corrupt official. If he wasn't corrupt, where would he get the money to clean up his son's mess?

After Cao Song was dismissed from his position as one of the Three Dukes after working for a few months, he wanted to return to his hometown to retire.

As a result, Cao Cao actually went to fight Dong Zhuo.
