Chapter 46-Cao Xuan ”(New book, evaluation ticket!)
"Xuan 'er's marriage is not urgent."
Cao Cao shook his head and said,"Xuan 'er is only six years old now. When Xuan' er truly grows up, I still hope that he can decide his own marriage."”
Madam Ding felt that Cao Cao's words made sense.
Hence, he nodded.
"I'm going to send troops to Xuzhou soon and prepare to bring Xuan 'er along.”Cao Cao said.
When she heard that Cao Cao was going to bring Cao Xuan to the battlefield, Madam Ding instinctively became nervous.
In the past, Cao Cao often led Cao Ang, Cao Pi, and the others on expeditions.
At that time, Madam Ding did not think much of it.
After all, a man had to conquer all directions.
However, ever since Cao Ang died in battle at Wan City, Madam Ding felt a little upset when she heard that there was going to be a war.
And this time, Cao Cao was going to bring Xuan 'er along.
"No, Xuan 'er is still young." Madam Ding refused.
However, Cao Cao did not back down this time.
"You're too kind." "I didn't plan to bring Xuan 'er to the battlefield so early, but Xuan' er's performance was beyond my expectations."”
"Now is a good time to nurture him, and also a good opportunity.”
"There won't be any danger in the battle of Xu Prefecture this time. Don't worry, I'll always bring Xuan 'er by my side.”Cao Cao promised.
Madam Ding knew that Cao Xuan would have to go to the battlefield sooner or later.
However, she was worried and worried.
"Cao Cao, I don't care what you are doing outside.”Lady Ding looked at Cao Cao and said,"But there is only one thing. If you let Xuan 'er get hurt or put Xuan' er in danger, don't say that I don't care about the relationship between husband and wife."”
Cao Cao felt a headache coming on.
He could only nod repeatedly.
.........
In a moment of panic, three days passed.
The tens of thousands of troops that had already been prepared outside Xu City set off in the direction of Xu Prefecture.
This time, Cao Cao had practically turned out in full force.
The reason why Cao Cao dared to move out in full force was because Yuan Shao of Hebei was currently fighting Gongsun Zan of Youzhou.
Cao Xuan's plan of killing three birds with one stone was just a general direction.
However, the specific execution and the steps needed to be perfectly planned.
For example, if they sent troops to Xuzhou, would Yuan Shao from Hebei cross the river to attack Yanzhou?
Ma Teng from Liangzhou and Zhang Xiu from Wancheng also needed to be taken into consideration.
Thus, Cao Cao had been balancing the situation for the past few months.
Cao Cao first sent someone to Ye City to give Yuan Shao a big gift. He let Yuan Shao lead the four states of Hebei and issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor to correct Yuan Shao's name.
It was to ease the relationship with Yuan Shao and numb Yuan Shao's actions.
Then Cao Cao adopted Xun Yu's plan and sent Zhong Yao to Liangzhou to pacify Ma Teng and Han Sui.
After settling the various factions, Cao Cao sent tens of thousands of troops to Xuzhou.
They wanted to take down Xuzhou in the shortest time possible. Before winter came, they had taken down Xuzhou at lightning speed, so that Yuan Shao, Ma Teng, and the others could not react in time.
Therefore, once the opportunity was ripe, Cao Cao did not hesitate to send troops to Xuzhou.
The army of tens of thousands of soldiers was like a giant dragon that was meandering on the ground.
Cao Cao was in the middle of the army, sitting on a carriage.
On both sides were the cavalrymen led by Xu Chu.
The vanguard was led by Cao Ren and Xiahou Chun.
In the middle of the army was Li Dian, who was happy to enter the palace.
The rear army was Xiahou Yuan.
As for the strategists, Xun Yu, Xun You, Cheng Yu, Guo Jia, and the others all followed.
The lineup was extremely luxurious.
Cao Xuan was sitting in Cao Cao's carriage.
"Xuan 'er, do you think the battle of Xu Prefecture will go smoothly?”
Cao Cao asked as he read a roll of bamboo slips.
Cao Xuan sat at the side with a small table in front of him. There was also a roll of bamboo slips on the table. He was holding a brush in his hand as he continued to write punctuations for Cao Cao.
Hearing Cao Cao's question, Cao Xuan nodded.
"Lu Bu has already led his troops to attack Liu Bei's rear. Xu Prefecture is an empty city. Grandfather can easily take it.”
"The difficulty lies in how to destroy Lu Bu.”Cao Xuan said.
"Oh?" Cao Cao raised his eyebrows and smiled,"Lu Bu is just a boorish man. How difficult would it be to destroy him?"”
"Grandfather forgot about someone, Chen Gong.”Cao Xuan said.
"Um."
At the mention of Chen Gong, Cao Cao was instantly silenced.
Indeed, Chen Gong was a problem.
Lu Bu wasn't scary, but Chen Gong was.
Cao Cao understood Chen Gong's abilities very well. Back then, he had almost lost Yanzhou because of Chen Gong. This was still fresh in Cao Cao's mind.
"Xuan 'er is quite familiar with Chen Gong.”Cao Cao praised.
"I read it all in my grandfather's books." Cao Xuan smiled.”
"Haha." Cao Cao raised his head and smiled.
"Oh right, Xuan 'er, grandfather wants to ask you something.”Cao Cao put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said,""A few days ago, someone wanted to propose marriage to you. What do you think about this?”
"Ah?"
This time, it was Cao Xuan who was stunned.
Someone wanted to matchmake him?
Are you kidding me? I'm still a child.
But thinking about it, there was nothing strange about it.
In this era, a 13 or 14-year-old was already married.
There were many six or seven-year-olds who got engaged.
but
However, Cao Xuan was a modern man.
Getting engaged to a six or seven-year-old girl, Cao Xuan felt that it was a little unreliable no matter how she listened to it.
the most important thing is
Cao Xuan didn't like small ones.
Even those 14 or 15-year-olds were still young.
He couldn't possibly find a wife who was fourteen or fifteen years old, right?
If this was in the future, it would probably be enough to sentence him.
"Grandfather, isn't it a little early?”Cao Xuan asked tentatively.
Cao Cao immediately shook his head." It's not early anymore. It's not early anymore. Your grandfather was already engaged when I was seven years old."”
"And your grandmother wants to find you a good marriage.”
Cao Xuan's lips twitched.
No matter how good the marriage was, it would not work if the daughter-in-law was too young.
"Grandpa, actually, I don't like children that are too young.”"I want to get married later," said Cao Xuan.”
Hmm?
Cao Cao suddenly looked at Cao Xuan,"You don't like small ones?"”
Cao Xuan immediately nodded.”
Who knew that Cao Cao would raise his head and laugh as soon as Cao Xuan nodded.
"Haha, kid, you really look like your grandfather.”Cao Cao laughed.
Cao Xuan was speechless.
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed like that was really the case.
It was said that Cao Cao liked young women and other people's wives.
If that was the case, it did not seem wrong.
Thinking about it carefully, according to the age of marriage in this era, 13, 14, 15, how old was that?
However, it was different after a few years of marriage. They were already in their twenties.
In this era, a woman in her twenties was already a woman.
According to Cao Cao's logic, a twenty-something-year-old would be a good time in the future.
In that case, it seemed like Cao Cao's orientation was not a problem. Instead, it was more in line with a man's taste.
However, this time, Cao Cao labeled Cao Xuan as a member of the same species.
"Then tell Grandfather, what kind of girl do you like?”Cao Cao asked nosily.
Cao Xuan almost vomited blood.
