Three Caos fighting for a bride? Zhen Ji, I, Cao Zhi, will take her!

"Foster father, after this battle, we have completely wiped out the elite cavalry of the three Wuhuan tribes: Shanggu Wuhuan, Youbeiping Wuhuan, and Liaoxi Wuhuan!"

"As for the remaining Wuhuan tribes in Liaodong, although they still have strength, they are no longer a threat!"

"I know that my adoptive father led his troops across the border this time with the sole purpose of bringing back the over 100,000 Youzhou civilians who were abducted by the Wuhuan cavalry!"

"But the Wuhuan are cunning. If they really want to hide in the vast grasslands, it will not only be time-consuming and laborious, but the final result may not satisfy my adoptive father!"

"Therefore, I suggest that my foster father entrust this mission to me. I promise that I will rescue these hundreds of thousands of people from the clutches of the Wuhuan..."

Liu Si said respectfully.

There is nothing wrong with either his words or his attitude.

But Cao Zhi felt something was wrong.

After a long time.

After staring at Liu Si for a long time.

Cao Zhi finally understood where this feeling of abnormality came from.

There's something wrong with this.

It was the domineering aura that came from Liu Si.

Looking at Liu Si who was in front of him, making plans and maneuvering.

Cao Zhi really couldn't deal with the current Liu Si.

He was connected to Liu Si, who knelt in front of him a few months ago and rushed to acknowledge him as his adoptive father.

No, to be precise.

The current Liu Si is very different from the Liu Si a few hours ago.

Liu Si a few hours ago.

It is just a newly rising Han Chinese force on the grassland.

Because he occupied the grasslands of the Southern Xiongnu and had the support of Cao Zhi behind him.

Therefore, their future is very bright.

But even so, they still faced constant threats from the Wuhuan.

But now, the Wuhuan people have suffered heavy losses.

Liu Si knew that the last threat to him on the grassland no longer existed.

Once they annexed the grasslands left by the Wuhuan people.

If they had annexed the hundreds of thousands of Han people who were abducted by the Wuhuan people.

By then, I will be the most powerful force on the grassland!!!

This force, at certain times, is strong enough to compete with the Central Plains dynasty!

It is precisely because of these thoughts.

Therefore, Liu Si still maintained respect for Cao Zhi in his words and attitude.

But the arrogance that he inadvertently revealed has betrayed his inner thoughts.

As for Cao Zhi, he noticed Liu Si's abnormality at this moment.

It didn't happen immediately.

Indeed, considering the combat effectiveness of Cao's army and the positions of Cao Zhi, Liu Si and others at that time.

As long as Cao Zhi wanted, he could easily destroy Liu Si and others.

But Cao Zhi did not do so.

First of all, Cao Zhi guessed that Liu Si's ambition was probably born when he just ordered people to clean up the battlefield.

The error between the two times will definitely not exceed half an hour.

Ambition born in such a short time can only be regarded as evil thoughts at best, not even a bud.

Secondly, Liu Si and others made great contributions in this war.

If I kill such a meritorious person based on just a guess, how can I convince the people in the future?

Of course, Cao Zhi could also kill all those who knew the secret so that no one would leak it.

But if Cao Zhi really did this, then what is the difference between him and Lu Yu?

Thirdly, Cao Zhi wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bring the entire grassland under the rule of the Han people.

And Liu Si happens to be the best candidate.

The life on the grassland in the past few months, coupled with this time's action of leading a large army to follow the Wuhuan cavalry, has proved Liu Si's vision and ability.

Of course, some might say.

Why not kill Liu Si and replace him with someone more obedient?

But if someone else were to take over, could he be guaranteed to remain calm, not fight or compete, and be absolutely loyal to himself?

Remember, people change!!!

Take all factors into consideration.

Cao Zhi finally decided to give Liu Si a warning so that he would not dare to harbor any rebellious thoughts towards him.

Then let Liu Si work diligently for him.

Until the grassland is full of Han people.

Until the Han people on the grasslands became one with the Han people in the Central Plains.

Inside and outside the Great Wall, the entire world belongs to the Han people.

At that time, even if Liu Si wanted to rebel, no one would support him.

"But how do we beat Liu Si?"

Cao Zhi fell into deep thought...

The next moment, Cao Zhi looked at Jia Xu.

He remembered that he had used a fear talisman to subdue Jia Xu.

He took advantage of Jia Xu's fear of him and made him work for his own benefit.

But how can I make Liu Si fear me from the bottom of his soul, so that he won't dare to resist when he thinks of me?

"Have it!"

Suddenly, an idea came to Cao Zhi's mind.

He thought of a possibility...

at this time.

A flock of migrating geese flew across the sky.

Because of the long journey.

So they were flying very low at this time.

It was so low that the distance between them and Cao Zhi was less than one kilometer.

Of course, even one kilometer.

This height is not something that ordinary people can shoot.

After all, the farthest distance that Lu Bu shot the halberd at the gate was only 210 meters.

"Godfather, what do you think?"

Seeing that Cao Zhi did not respond for a long time, Liu Si was shocked.

He guessed that Cao Zhi might have seen through his ambition.

"Haha, the Fourth Young Master must be tired. General, there's no need to worry. With the Fourth Young Master here, these hundreds of thousands of Han people will surely return to Youzhou safely!"

Jia Xu covered up.

Jia Xu could see that Cao Zhi had already seen through Liu Si's ambition.

Jia Xu could also see that Cao Zhi was thinking about how to deal with the situation at this moment.

Therefore, what he needs to do now is to stabilize Liu Si and others.

Although he took the initiative to help Cao Zhi cover up, Jia Xu was dissatisfied with Cao Zhi's performance at this time.

In his opinion, since Liu Si could no longer be used by him, he should be killed.

If he was worried that Liu Wu and others would harbor grudges against Cao Zhi because of Liu Si's murder, he might as well kill Liu Wu and others together.

As for the so-called strategy of managing the grassland, for Jia Xu, it was nothing more than Cao Zhi's momentary willfulness.

How valuable can grasslands be?

If it were true, then the Han Dynasty would not have been busy opening up the Western Regions for 400 years, but would have marched north!

Therefore, in Jia Xu's view, the problem that Cao Zhi is worried about now is not a problem at all.

Just when Jia Xu was thinking about how to persuade Cao Zhi.

But Cao Zhi suddenly looked up at the sky.

"Noisy!"

With a low shout, Cao Zhi drew his bow and shot an arrow.

Under the gaze of everyone.

The arrow shot straight into the sky like a meteor.

"Gah!"

"quack!"

"Quack quack!"

……

next moment.

Accompanied by a series of rapid wailing sounds.

The wild geese in the sky immediately scattered.

The arrow shot by Cao Zhi also fell quickly.

On the arrow, four wild geese were neatly arranged.

The arrow pierced the neck of the first goose, then the second goose, and then the third, the fourth...

The power of one arrow is so terrifying!!!

After seeing this scene, everyone present gasped.

Generals such as Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Cao Zhang, and Chen Dao.

The look he gave Cao Zhi at this moment was full of fear.

They can guarantee that even if Lu Bu were alive, he would not be able to shoot this arrow.

As for Liu Si, he looked at Cao Zhi with a complicated expression.

Looking at the four geese at the end of the arrow, they were deader than dead.

Liu Si seemed to see what would happen to him after he rebelled against Cao Zhi.

"Hahahaha, the Fourth Young Master's sharpshooter!"

Jia Xu took the lead from the side.

Led by Jia Xu, Cao Zhang and others also shouted.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhi brought 7,000 cavalrymen, and Liu Si and others brought 15,000 cavalrymen.

Everyone shouted "Four Young Masters' sharpshooting skills"...

Seeing that Cao Zhi had such strength and such popularity.

In Liu Si's heart, the delusion that shouldn't have existed was finally extinguished by himself.

"Foster father, can you give me this arrow as a reward?"

Liu Si bowed and said.

???

In Cao Zhi's confusion, Liu Si explained:

"I want to carry this arrow with me so that I can understand that my adoptive father's kindness to me is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea..."

We are all smart people.

Seeing Liu Si say this.

Cao Zhi understood that his deterrence had worked.

And for Liu Si, he completely surrendered to himself.

After Cao Zhi learned that he only had twenty-two adopted sons left.

Cao Zhi waved his hand.

And from the soldiers brought by Liu Si and others.

Thirty-eight people were selected, plus twenty-two people including Liu Si, a total of sixty people.

Cao Zhi adopted all sixty people as his adopted sons.

Then the Xiongnu grassland and Wuhuan grassland were redivided into sixty parts and distributed equally to Liu Si and others.

To increase your influence on them.

Cao Zhi also gave them the surname Cao.

The names are tentatively decided as: Cao One, Cao Two, Cao Three... Cao Fifty-Eight, Cao Fifty-Nine, Cao Sixty.

If they wanted to change their names in the future, they would also need to obtain Cao Zhi's consent.

He saw that Cao Zhi not only rewarded him with land, but also gave him a surname.

At this time, Liu Si and others.

No, it should be Cao Yi and others.

They all knelt on the ground and burst into tears of gratitude to Cao Zhi.

This includes the previous Liu Si and the current Cao Yi.

……

Seeing that Cao Zhi won Cao Yi's heart without bloodshed and at the same time arranged 60 people to jointly manage the grassland, Jia Xu couldn't help but feel that Cao Zhi was wasting his time.

Just when Jia Xu was thinking about how to persuade Cao Zhi to implement a restraining rule on the grassland.

The brothers Yuan Xi and Yuan Shang were standing aside.

After seeing that Cao Zhi took control of the Southern Xiongnu grasslands and the Wuhuan grasslands without bloodshed.

Only then did the two realize how presumptuous they were to oppose Cao Zhi.

Just when the two of them were thinking that they must make friends with Cao Zhi to save their lives.

At this moment, Cao Zhi came up to the two of them, leaned over and said with a smile:

"Two...brothers, please do me a favor!"
