After another two days, Cao Cao's army arrived at the meeting point!
Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren to reorganize his troops while he brought two men to pay a visit to Yuan Shao.
Because the area of the tent was still limited, each vassal only brought one or two attendants. Cao Cao brought Xiahou Dun and Xiang Qian.
Xiahou Dun hadn't been blinded by Cao Xing's arrows yet. His eyes were intact, and he looked dignified.
Xiang Qian wore a helmet and armor and held the Overlord Halberd in his hand. He followed Cao Cao and entered the main tent.
Cao Cao still trusted Xiang Qian, just like how Dong Zhuo trusted Lu Bu. Whenever he needed someone to protect him, he would go to Xiang Qian first.
Although Xiang Qian did not seem to understand the etiquette of this time and was slightly disrespectful to him, Cao Cao could understand. He believed that Xiang Qian had come from overseas and had not learned the etiquette of the Han Dynasty for hundreds of years.
Cao Cao had always felt very comfortable with Xiang Qian's praise of him!
Every ruler needed a fierce general who could kill a general and seize the flag, and every ruler also needed a confidant who could speak well. Xiang Qian had both now, so Cao Cao could trust him even more.
Of course, Cao Cao's trust in Xiang Qian was based on the premise that Xiang Qian looked a bit like Cao Cao (of course, he was much more handsome than Cao Cao, like a plastic surgery version of Cao Cao).
When Cao Cao looked at Xiang Qian, sometimes it was as if he saw his ideal self, so he admired and trusted him.
Because Xiang Qian looked somewhat similar to Cao Cao and was younger than Cao Cao, the other dukes thought that Xiang Qian was Cao Cao's nephew, such as Cao Xiu or Cao Chun, so they did not pay much attention to him.
Xiang Qian liked it when they didn't care. He could take the opportunity to observe these ghosts!
Many people here were destined to die miserably!
There weren't many who died of illness in bed like Cao Cao. Most of them died in a terrifying way!
Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu died from vomiting blood. Ma Teng, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Chao were beheaded by Cao Cao. Zhang Yang was beheaded by his own men. Sun Jian was shot to death by arrows. Han Fu hanged himself. Gongsun Zan died from self-immolation…
Among them, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Ma Teng, Kong Rong, Zhang Miao, and Zhang Chao never dreamed that Cao Cao, who was smiling brightly, would be their Grim Reaper in the future!
Cao Cao had never dreamed that his trusted aide Xiang Qian would not only be his Grim Reaper, but he had also almost cheated on him and would continue to do so in the future…
Xiang Qian quickly discovered that the so-called 18 dukes were actually divided into factions after analyzing the small talk and micro-expressions between these people!
The two largest factions were Yuan and Cao!
The biggest faction was the Yuan family, the Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu brothers, and the students and old officials of the Yuan family in Runan.
Yuan Shao, the prefect of Bohai, was born in the Yuan family of Runan. He was the leader of the joint army against Dong Zhuo. Later, he seized Jizhou, Qingzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou. He was the strongest among the princes.
There was a guy in the Yuan family who had always been on good terms with Yuan Shao. He was Yuan Shu, the later general and prefect of Nanyang. Yuan Shu was Yuan Shao's younger brother. Like Yuan Shao, he also enjoyed the family background of four generations and three dukes. His political resources were also extremely rich. Before Yuan Shao conquered Jizhou, Yuan Shu was the most powerful of the eighteen feudal vassals.
Xiang Qian looked at Yuan Shu, who was now so proud of himself, and thought of Cao Cao's evaluation of Yuan Shu as " withered bones in a basket ". He couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
The Yuan Family also had Shanyang Prefecture Governor Yuan Yi, who was Yuan Shao's cousin and had average strength.
Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou, was a student of the Yuan Clan. It was precisely because he was a student of the Yuan Clan that he was responsible for providing food and fodder to Yuan Shao when the vassals raised their armies.
Wang Kuang, the prefect of Hanoi, was also a student of the Yuan family and had been serving as Yuan Shao's hatchet man. He had once crossed the river from Hanoi to deal with Dong Zhuo, but had been badly beaten by Lu Bu!
Sun Jian, the Governor of Changsha, claimed to be the descendant of Sun Wu, a great military strategist. He was very powerful, but unfortunately, he had always been attached to Yuan Shu and was Yuan Shu's hatchet man.
The governor of Yuzhou, Kong He, was also a student of the Yuan family.
Qiao Mao, the prefect of East County, seemed to be a student of the Yuan family.
Now he understood why Yuan Shao was the Alliance Master and why Yuan Shu was the Deputy Alliance Master. It was because the Yuan Family was the strongest!
Compared to Yuan Shao's strength, Xiang Qian was more concerned about his daughter-in-law, Zhen Mi!
It was the year 189, and Zhen Mi was still a six-year-old loli!
It was said that when Zhen Mi was young, every night when she slept, her family seemed to see someone covering her with a jade dress. Everyone was very curious about this.
I wonder if this is true?
Zhen Mi had an even more amazing thing. After Zhen Mi married Cao Pi, there was a green snake in the courtyard of the Wei Palace. It kept spitting out red beads from its mouth. It was as big as Wu Zi, but it never hurt people. Every time it wanted to hurt the snake, it would disappear. Only when Zhen Mi was dressing up every day did the snake coil into a bun and appear in front of her. Zhen Mi found it very strange, so she imitated the snake's coiling shape and combed her hair into a bun. It was exquisite, so Zhen Mi's hair style changed every day. This kind of bun was called the snake bun. Other palace people imitated it, but it was not as beautiful as Zhen Mi's.
Compared to Yuan Shu, Xiang Qian was more concerned about his wife, Madam Feng.
There was a legend among the beauties of the Three Kingdoms." There are two Qiao brothers in Jiangbei and Fan Zhen in Hebei. Beauty Feng of the Central Plains, Diao Chan's first beauty.”Yuan Shu's wife was Feng Fang's daughter, Beauty Feng, one of the six great beauties.
Back then, when Dong Zhuo was in chaos, Feng Fang's daughter took refuge in Yangzhou. Yuan Shu saw her when he boarded the city. He was very happy and liked her. He took her as his wife and doted on her very much. In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, she was even made queen.
Yuan Shu deserved to die, but his beautiful wife was innocent. She shouldn't have ended up like Yuan Shu!
As for Sun Jian's X-Wen Station, he heard that his first and second wives were both beautiful women. Moreover, they were twin sisters who were both married to Sun Jian.
The younger sister became Wu Guotai of Ganlu Temple 30 years later.
And now, they were still young women who were less than 30 years old!
It was just a pity that in two years, the sisters would be widowed. It was a waste to be a widow at such a young and beautiful age!
Sun Jian's eldest son, Sun Ce, was 14 years old this year. Sun Ce's future concubine, Da Qiao, and sister-in-law, Xiao Qiao, were probably still lolis.
Why was Da Qiao Sun Ce's concubine?
Because the book said that Sun Ce got Da Qiao by using the word 'concubine'. It had always been said to take concubines. A wife was a marriage, not that kind of word!
No matter what, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, the stunning twins, should not end up like the Wu sisters, becoming widows at such a young age!
Xiang Qian came to this chaotic world in the hope that the war would end as soon as possible. There should be fewer young widows, and there should not be any widowed women!
For the prosperity of the Han people, all women should work hard so that the population of the Han people would not decline from 65 million to less than 10 million!
Xiang Qian should have set an example and surpassed Cao Cao's record of twenty-five sons and a dozen daughters.
