"Nephew, I'm afraid your carefree days are numbered. Sooner or later, you'll have to leave the mountain.”
Cao Cao said meaningfully.
"Hmm?"
Su Yi did not understand the hidden meaning behind his words.
Cao Cao stood up and said,"I'm going on a long trip these few days. When I come back, I'll talk about the world with you."”
"Uncle, Uncle still hasn't told me about the marriage.”
Su Yi stood up and asked.
"Since there's an engagement, I naturally can't break my promise.”
Cao Cao counted with his fingers and said,""However, there hasn't been any auspicious day recently. When I calculate a good day, I'll marry you.”
Su Yi said indifferently,"In that case, I will wait for uncle to choose the date of marriage before marrying your daughter."”
Cao Cao laughed and turned to leave.
On the main street of Xu County.
"Will Zhang Xiu really surrender without a fight?”
Cao Cao muttered to himself, thinking about Su Yi's words.
"Sikong!"
Xi Zhicai came forward and said,"Whether Zhang Xiu surrenders or not, this Su Yi has the talent to assist the king. Why didn't Sikong directly reveal his identity just now and recruit him into the overlord's residence as a counselor?"”
"This person is different from the rest. We can't use ordinary methods to recruit him.”
Cao Cao reined in his horse and said," He was able to live in seclusion for a year without leaving his house. This shows that he really has no interest in worldly affairs. If I rashly reveal my identity, I'm afraid I'll startle him. By then, he'll quietly escape far away. Where will I find him?"”
"Sikong is right."
Xi Zhicai nodded repeatedly." We can't be impatient in recruiting such a talent. We have to think of a way slowly."”
Cao Cao whipped his horse and went straight back to Sikong Mansion.
An hour later.
The civil and military officials of Cao Camp gathered once again.
"Destroy Zhang Xiu, take Wan City, and completely remove the threat to the south of Xu City.”
"I have made up my mind. Seven days later, I will personally lead the army to the south and take Wan City!”
Cao Cao announced his decision.
Cao Ren, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, and the other generals were all excited.
" Sikong," Xun Yu said," our army has enough food and grass for the southern expedition. However, we still lack a lot of medicinal herbs. Should we delay sending troops for a few more days?"”
"No need."
Cao Cao waved his hand and smiled." There are sufficient medicinal herbs stored in the Su Residence in the eastern suburbs of the capital. I will order Zhicai to purchase them personally. They are sufficient for the army."”
"Concubine Su?" Xun Yu asked curiously. Was it that small clan disciple Su Yi that Sikong had mentioned the day before?”
"Yes, it's him." Cao Cao nodded.
"The medicinal herbs used by my army are calculated in thousands of stones. How could he have so many medicinal herbs in such a hurry?”
Xun Yu's eyes were filled with doubt.
Cao Cao stroked his beard and smiled,"This Su Yi is a strange person. If you have the chance to work with him, you will know why."”
With that, Cao Cao stood up and left with his hands behind his back.
"Su Yi, what is so extraordinary about this person that he actually made Sikong favor him so much?"
Xun Yu muttered to himself thoughtfully.
In the inner court.
After Cao Cao decided on the strategy of sending troops, he felt relieved and went to the garden to relax.
"Greetings, Father!"
His daughter, Cao Jie, who was enjoying the scenery in the garden, hurriedly went forward and bowed.
The thought flashed through his mind. He smiled and sighed." Unknowingly, my Jie 'er has grown into a big girl. It's time for her to get married."”
"Father ~~"
Cao Jie's face was slightly red. He pouted and said," I'm not marrying. I want to stay with my father and serve him."”
"Silly girl!"
Cao Cao tapped her forehead and said,""Men and women should get married when they are of age. How can a daughter stay by her parents 'side for the rest of her life?”
Cao Jie lowered his head in silence.
"Jie 'er, I won't hide it from you. Father has already found a good son-in-law. This time, Father has returned from the southern expedition.”
Cao Cao put away his seriousness and smiled.
"Father is talking about…whose Young Master is he talking about?”
Although Cao Jie's face was red, he couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"This person is handsome and talented. He is a rare man in the world!”
"Father believes that you and him are absolutely a match made in heaven.”
"As for who he is, I'll tell you when I return from the southern expedition.”
Cao Cao smiled and kept them in suspense.
"Father, just tell your daughter who he is.”
Cao Jie's appetite was piqued as he grumbled.
Cao Cao laughed and left.
"Father, just tell your daughter!
Cao Jie was filled with curiosity. He lifted the hem of his skirt and chased after her.
…
The next day, Su Manor.
Xi Zhicai stood in the main hall again, bringing a few large boxes filled with copper coins.
"What do you mean by this?"
Su Yi looked at the boxes of money with suspicion in his eyes.
Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and smiled." To be honest, Young Master Su, my master has some connections in the army. He happens to be in charge of purchasing military medicinal herbs. Therefore, he specially ordered me to come here to purchase the medicinal herbs that Young Master has stockpiled at a high price.”
Su Yi suddenly understood.
"Alright, the marriage is set. Our two families will be one family sooner or later. We shouldn't let the fertile water flow into the fields of others. I'll sell this medicinal herb to my future father-in-law.”
Su Yi generously agreed.
"Thank you, Young Master."
Xi Zhicai cupped his hands in thanks.
Su Yi received the money, and Xi Zhicai loaded the thousands of stones of medicinal herbs into the car. He was about to leave.
Before they parted.
Su Yi suddenly thought of something and said,"With so many herbs, will Uncle personally send them to the Wan City frontline?”
"Maybe. Why?"
Only then did Xi Zhi see that Su Yi's gaze was different.
Su Yi said in a deep voice,"Although Zhang Xiu will surrender, I'm afraid he will surrender and rebel again. At that time, Cao Cao will experience a great defeat. If uncle goes to Wan City, it will be equivalent to being in danger, so it's better not to go."”
Xi Zhicai's body trembled, and his expression changed abruptly.
