"Yes, this is indeed a brilliant plan.”
"If I use this plan, Wan City will be safe.”
Cao Cao stroked his long beard and a smile appeared on his face.
Su Yi saw his strange expression and asked,"I say, Uncle, you wouldn't be offering my plan to Cao Mengde to take credit for it, would you?”
Cao Cao came back to his senses and shook his head."Of course not. I'm just a merchant. How can I have the chance to see Sikong Cao, let alone offer him advice?”
"Alright then."
Su Yi did not think too much about it,"Uncle, regarding the wedding date between your daughter and me, uncle has chosen an auspicious day.”
"This…"
Cao Cao was troubled.
Su Yi said indifferently,"Actually, if uncle likes a disciple from another family, you can just say it. I won't mind at all. Uncle, there's no need to delay it. After the engagement is annulled, I won't marry a girl from another family."”
He thought that Cao Cao was not satisfied with the marriage.
"Nephew, you've misunderstood. To be able to recruit a genius like you as my son-in-law is the fortune of my Yang Family!”
Cao Cao immediately denied.
"Then I don't understand. Is it so difficult to choose an auspicious day?"”
"If this drags on, I'm afraid the truth will be exposed and he'll be angered.”
"Looks like we can only use Zhicai's method.”
Cao Cao's thoughts turned and he made up his mind.
Immediately.
He smiled and said," After Cao Liu Biao's war ends, I'll finish this medicinal herb business. When we return to Xu Capital, we'll get you married. What do you think?"”
"Alright, then we'll listen to Uncle's arrangements.”
Su Yi nodded.
After setting the wedding date and asking for a plan, Cao Cao was satisfied and left.
"Congratulations, Young Master. You're about to marry a virtuous wife and bring home a beauty.”
Diao Chan softly sighed, faintly revealing some disappointment.
However, Su Yi gently stroked her face and said with a faint smile,"No matter how virtuous the Yang Family's Young Lady is, how can she compare to you, Chan 'er? As for what beauty, who in the world is more beautiful than you, Chan' er?”
Hearing these words, Diao Chan was overjoyed and secretly delighted.
"Young Master is used to saying nice things to make Chan 'er happy ~~"
Diao Chan's face was red as she complained softly.
After a moment of shyness, she asked again,"If that Yang Family's Young Lady is really ugly, does Young Master really want to marry her?"”
"This is my mother's last wish. Since I have agreed, I will keep my word.”
"That Yang family's young miss, whether she is beautiful or ugly, I will marry her.”
Su Yi explained his original intention with a straight face.
Diao Chan was silent, but her disappointed eyes showed some respect.
"Alright, don't be sad."
Su Yi held her slender waist and said with a smile,"No matter if I marry a wife or a concubine, my love for you will not be reduced by even a little."”
" Chan 'er was born in a humble family. To be able to serve Young Master and receive a trace of Young Master's pity, I'm already satisfied. How could I ask for more?"
Diao Chan whispered shyly. Her beautiful face leaned into Su Yi's embrace.
…
Xiangyang City.
The news of Zhang Xiu being killed and the widowhood being wiped out had already spread through the streets and alleys.
All the people in the city were shocked.
In the main hall of the state capital.
Liu Biao frowned deeply, his gaze landing on Jia Xu who had come to seek refuge.
"Wen He is so intelligent. With your help, General Zhang was actually destroyed by Cao Cao in the blink of an eye.”
Liu Biao said with confusion in his eyes.
Jia Xu looked ashamed and said," There is a master who is planning and scheming under Cao Cao. This person's wisdom is far above mine. That's why General Zhang ended up like this."”
"There's actually such a person whose wisdom is even above you, Wen He?”
Liu Biao's eyes widened in surprise.
Kuai Yue also asked curiously,"Then is this expert a talent for opera, Cheng Yu, or Xun Yu?"”
"Neither."
Jia Xu shook his head." Although the three people mentioned by Yidu are all ingenious, they may not be able to calculate to this extent. They will destroy General Zhang in less than two months."”
"If it wasn't for those three, I really can't think of anyone else in Cao Cao's camp who would have such wisdom!”
Kuai Yue said with an astonished expression.
Jia Xu said meaningfully,"No matter who that person is, Cao Mengde is like a tiger that has grown wings with the help of such a strange person. He can't be underestimated."”
Liu Biao and Kuai Yue looked at each other, a trace of uneasiness in their eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall was heavy.
"No matter what kind of extraordinary person Cao Aman has, Wan City is the northern barrier of Jingzhou. If it falls into Cao's hands, it's equivalent to hanging a sharp sword over Jingzhou's head!”
"My lord, we can't just sit by and do nothing. We have to take back Wan City!”
Cai Mao angrily requested to fight, breaking the silence.
Liu Biao's body shook as he looked at Kuai Yue.
"If Wan City is under Cao Cao's control, his tiger leopard cavalry will travel south and in less than three days, he will bring his troops to the Han River and threaten Xiangyang.”
"Wan City cannot fall into Cao Cao's hands.”
Kuai Yue analyzed and clearly agreed to send troops.
However, Jia Xu reminded him,"Cao Cao is cunning in his use of troops and has the support of extraordinary people. Even if you want to recapture Wan City, you must not easily confront Cao Cao!"”
"Wenhe makes sense."
Liu Biao nodded heavily and quickly asked,"Then according to Wen He's opinion, how should our army fight this battle?"”
Jia Xu laughed coldly." Cao Cao has enemies on all sides, so he can't stay in Wan City for long. Envoy Liu only needs to lead the army north and advance step by step towards Wan City. However, he won't fight with them. He will delay until Cao Cao is in danger and has to return personally. Then, he will send troops to attack Wan City. He will definitely be able to conquer it in one battle!”
"Good, Wen He's plan is brilliant!"
"Cai Mao," said Liu Biao cheerfully,"listen to me!”
"I'm here!" Cai Mao jumped up.
Liu Biao waved his hand and said,"I order you to lead 40,000 troops to cross the river and head north. Step by step, we will approach Wan City!"”
"I have received your order!"
Cai Mao immediately accepted the order.
The next day.
Cai Mao led 40,000 troops across the Han River and marched north to Wancheng.
Two days later, Cai Mao led his army into Xinye.
At night, in the army tent.
Cai Mao stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the Nanyang map.
Cai He entered and said in a deep voice," Brother, something has happened. That Cao Aman actually gave the order to take over all of the Cai family's properties in Wan City and even Nanyang County!”
"What?"
Cai Mao's expression changed, and his brows immediately furrowed.
The vassals of the world fought for supremacy, and the aristocrats of all sizes placed their bets separately for their masters.
No matter who was the new ruler of each province or county, they could not touch the property of the local aristocrats. This was an unspoken rule.
Therefore, although Wan City fell into Cao Cao's hands, Cai Mao was not worried that his Cai family's business in Wan City would be in danger.
Unexpectedly, Cao Cao didn't follow the rules and actually wanted to confiscate his Cai Family's land!
"Cao Mengde, you and I are old friends. How dare you treat my Cai family like this!”
Cai Mao punched the table and gritted his teeth.
" Brother," Cai He said in a deep voice," the Cai Family's land is mainly in Nanyang. If Cao Cao were to confiscate all of it, our strength would be greatly damaged. At that time, our strength in Jingzhou would probably be overshadowed by the Kuai Family.”
Cai Mao's expression turned cold.
He paced in the tent and pondered for a long time.
He suddenly turned around.
Cai Mao snorted coldly." Cao Cao must think that I'll advance step by step. When I reach Wan City in seven days, I'll lead a light army to the north and reach Wan City in two days. I'll catch him off guard and take Wan City back!"”
"Brother is wise. I'll go and pass on the order now!”
Cai He accepted the order and left.
"Cao Aman, even if you have some extraordinary person assisting you, you wouldn't have expected me to do this, right?”
Cai Mao stared at the map, his lips curling into a cold smile.
