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

"It's due to Lord Xun's status, please don't be surprised, Sikong!"

After seeing this line of small words.

Cao Cao was stunned at first, but then he understood.

During the time he was away, there was no peace in the hall.

"However, Wen Ruo still understands me since Feng Xiao wrote these words!"

Cao Cao said sadly.

Cao Cao has always respected Xun Yu.

It’s not only because of Xun Yu’s identity, but also because of Xun Yu as a person.

There is no other reason, it’s because Xun Yu has a broad perspective.

In terms of talent, Xun Yu and Xun You may be almost the same;

But in terms of vision, ten Xun You are not as good as one Xun Yu.

Because Xun Yu was looking at the whole world;

But Xun You only saw the Xun family.

But it’s a pity——

Although Xun Yu saw the whole world.

But his identity forced him to serve the Xun family first and then the world.

This is also why, although Xun Yu knew that Cao Cao's weakening of the influence of the gentry would benefit the entire world, he was unable to support Cao Cao.

Because of his position, he must always protect the interests of the Xun family.

Therefore, Xun Yu knew Cao Cao's painstaking efforts, but he could not support Cao Cao.

Sometimes, he might even oppose Cao Cao.

For example, this time Cao Cao asked them to give their opinions.

Xun Yu's choice to hand in a blank paper was a silent protest.

"However, since Fengxiao has said so, he must also understand Wenruo's suffering!"

"I only hope that in the days ahead, you and I can exercise restraint, so that we, the ruler and the subject, will not betray each other!"

Cao Cao sighed.

……

After figuring out what happened with Xun Yu.

Cao Cao looked at the center of the paper again.

"Zi Huan is the oldest, has good literary talent, and is well-known among the scholars, but he is too close to the aristocracy and too soft on them..."

"Ziwen is brave and always leads the charge in every battle. If he continues to develop, he could become a great general, but he is brave but not wise, so he can only be a general..."

"Zijian was naturally intelligent, his literary talent surpassed Zihuan's, and he was eloquent, but he was overly interested in women..."

"Among all the disciples, Cang Shu is the most intelligent and the most talented. He is my favorite, but Cang Shu is still young..."

Cao Cao thought about the names written by Guo Jia one by one, his mind tense.

After all, they were all his sons, and Cao Cao couldn't bear to sacrifice any of them.

That’s right, Cao Cao’s plan to weaken the gentry is—

They raised two sons respectively.

One son, supported by the Yingchuan gentry;

Another son was supported by the Hebei gentry;

Through the struggle between his two sons, he weakened the checks and balances on the Henan and Hebei gentry.

And I benefit from it.

This strategy has more advantages than disadvantages for Cao Cao;

But he was too cruel to his two sons!

Because this kind of struggle will turn brothers into enemies who will never stop fighting.

Even the loser may lose his life.

"Well, who told you to be my sons, Cao Mengde? This is your fate!"

After secretly comforting himself, Cao Cao fell into deep thought again.

……

After a while, it was already midnight.

"Sikong, it's time to rest!"

Just then, a servant spoke.

"Okay, lead the way!"

Cao Cao folded the paper carefully and put it into his sleeve.

Then under the guidance of the servants.

Cao Cao came to a magnificent mansion.

This is Yuan Shao's villa.

In the past, Yuan Shao would move here to live every summer.

Because the back house of the Yuan Mansion was given to the female members of the Yuan family.

So this place became Cao Cao's temporary residence.

Led by his servants, Cao Cao quickly arrived at the bedroom.

As soon as the light was turned on, Cao Cao was stunned.

So at this moment on the bed in the bedroom.

There was a graceful figure lying there.

This figure was none other than Yuan Shao’s wife, Madam Liu.

"Gudong..."

Cao Cao couldn't help swallowing.

"Sister-in-law..." Cao Cao said stiffly.

"Why call me sister-in-law? Now that Sikong has taken over Jizhou, I belong to Sikong!"

Liu's eyes were as charming as silk, and she acted in a coquettish manner.

She is already graceful and elegant, with the appearance of a good family.

At this moment, he took the initiative to throw himself into his arms.

For Cao Cao, it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue that ignited the fire on earth.

then--

……

……

……

The next day.

Cao Cao, who always gets up early, overslept.

He opened his eyes and looked at Liu who was dressing up at the dressing table.

Cao Cao then remembered.

The woman in front of him was the woman of his good brother Yuan Shao.

I thought of Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao couldn't help but recall the happy days when they were young, walking dogs and fighting cocks in Luoyang.

He thought of the glorious days when the two of them had snatched other people's brides together;

Then he thought of the time when the eighteen princes attacked Dong Zhuo and they fought side by side...

"Time is not forgiving!"

Thinking that Yuan Shao was dead and he was nearly fifty years old.

Cao Cao couldn't help but sigh at the passing of time.

Then, Cao Cao thought that he had really reached the age to appoint an heir.

Of course, this time the heir is really being appointed.

"Well, since I've chosen to let you brothers fight each other, then the winner among you will be my adopted son!"

"Zihuan, Zijian, please don't blame your father!"

Cao Cao made up his mind and immediately had a candidate in his mind.

The reason why Cao Pi and Cao Zhi were chosen.

The reason is simple, because Cao Zhang is not smart enough and Cao Chong is too young.

And Cao Pi and Cao Zhi.

Although each has its shortcomings.

But the advantages of these two people are also very obvious.

After figuring it all out.

Cao Cao clapped his hands.

Immediately, a man in black walked in from outside the door.

This man in black is none other than this.

They were Cao Cao's trusted confidants placed in the army and guards.

Their organization, called the School History Office, only took orders from Cao Cao.

The purpose was to monitor officials and the army for Cao Cao.

"Where are the Second Young Master and the Fourth Young Master now?"

Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"Reporting to the Minister of Works, the Second Young Master followed Chen Qun to the residences of Masters Xun Yu and Xun You early this morning. They discussed the position of heir and the two sides had a very pleasant conversation!"

The man in black said solemnly.

"Well, you are worthy of being my son, Cao Mengde!"

Cao Cao was overjoyed to think that Cao Pi had been able to contact the Yingchuan gentry before him.

At the same time, Cao Cao had made up his mind.

Tie Cao Pi and the Yingchuan gentry together!

"The Fourth Young Master..."

The man in black hesitated to speak.

"Say!"

"Reporting to Sikong, the Fourth Young Master went to a brothel with the Third Young Master last night!"

"What, this rebellious son!!"

Cao Cao was furious.

And the reason why Cao Cao was angry.

There are two reasons:

The first reason is that Liu is very wealthy.

When I think about how Liu was so lusty, then Zhen Ji would naturally be even more lusty.

It would be a lie to say that Cao Cao had no resentment when such a beauty was snatched away by Cao Zhi.

However, because the two were father and son, Cao Cao felt embarrassed to fight for it.

Now, you have taken Zhen Ji away but you don’t need her.

Instead, he turned around and went to a brothel?

What do you mean? Are you trying to make your father angry?

As for the second reason.

This was because Cao Cao was planning to introduce Cao Zhi to the Hebei gentry.

If the story of Zhen Ji is a romantic affair.

So, if he first snatched Zhen Ji and then visited a brothel within one day, it would be a stain.

Because this will give people the impression that you are impatient.

Once this impression is confirmed.

Then those Hebei gentry who valued their reputation would not be willing to get close to Cao Zhi.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of my work...

"You, take people and bring those two rebellious sons back to me now. Remember, don't alert anyone else!"

Because he was angry, Cao Cao even held a grudge against Cao Zhang.
