"Greetings, General."
"General, wherever you go, you will win and conquer. You are really a hero.”
Cao Zheng walked over slowly, and all the family heads bowed hurriedly."
Cao Mao nodded in satisfaction and glanced around."
"Wait for me in the lobby!"
A moment later, in the lobby.
All the family heads stood on both sides, occasionally peeking at Cao Zheng from the corner of their eyes, sighing like the commoners.
Such an elegant youth was actually the terrifying General of Flying Cavalry.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would have been unbelievable.
"A wise man understands the times. You're all wise men!”
Cao Zheng's calm voice sounded." I've taken over Ye City. I'm very satisfied with your attitude. I don't have high requirements. As long as you cooperate with my army, it will be fine. Do what you have to do."”
"Otherwise, you should know what will happen!”
That simple?
The Patriarchs of the various families looked at each other with puzzled expressions.
"Alright, do you have anything else to say?”
Cao Zheng's words woke up the family heads from their doubts and they gradually discussed in low voices.
They had never expected that the legendary Cao Zheng, who killed without batting an eye, would actually be so elegant, easy-going, and approachable.
Something's not right!
Cao Zheng wasn't like this when he was in Xuzhou. Could it be that he wants us to stand up for ourselves?
To distinguish friend from foe? Which should be killed and which should not be killed?
So ruthless! How vicious!
He had almost fallen into his trap!
The head of the family, who was the first to imagine this, stood up.
"General Cao, your army has just arrived. My Chen family is willing to donate ten thousand stones of grain and two thousand taels of gold to General Cao's army!”
Cao Mao was slightly startled, but he nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good, Chen family, I will remember it!”
"Thank you, General!"
The head of the Chen family curled his lips.
At this moment, another family head stood up.
"General Cao, our Situ Clan is willing to donate food…"
Very quickly.
One by one, families stood up.
As the number one family in Ye City, Zhen Yan, the head of the Zhen family, naturally could not sit still.
"General Cao, my Zhen family is willing to donate twenty thousand stones of grain and three thousand taels of gold to help General Cao!”
"And…"
"I have a younger sister who is the most beautiful in Hebei. I am willing to give her to General Cao as a concubine. I hope General Cao will not abandon her!”
Cao Zheng remained calm.
Did this mean that it was obtained without any effort? Unfortunately, Cao Zheng only loved his wife.
Therefore, he tactfully rejected Zhen Yan's good intentions."Then I will thank you, but I have a good wife at home, and I have no plans to take a concubine for the time being." However, my brother Cao Pi is still unmarried. I can make the decision to let your sister marry my brother as his official wife.”
"Thank you, General!"
Zhen Yan hurriedly thanked him.
The other family heads looked at him with envy.
It's really good to have a beautiful sister!
When Yuan Shao occupied Ye City, he could curry favor with the Yuan family, and now he could curry favor with the Cao family.
Although it was a chaotic era, it was still an era where looks mattered…
……
Back in the city, Cao Pi had followed Cao Zheng on this expedition. After entering the city, he had received Cao Zheng's permission to choose what he liked. Thus, he immediately turned his horse around and rode into the distance.
" Second Young Master, the Yuan Mansion is just ahead…" The lackey in front of him led the way ingratiatingly.
"Is Zhen Mi really that beautiful?" Cao Pi's eyes shone with a strange light.
"It's absolutely true. The Zhen Family of Hebei Province is one of the richest families in the world, and the Second Lady Zhen Mi is as beautiful as a fairy!”
"Let's go!" Cao Pi nodded heavily. So what if she was an ugly woman? The Zhen family's wealth alone was enough for him to make a move. As long as he could take the Zhen family into his hands, everything would be enough!
Drive! The crowd surrounded Cao Pi and rushed into the Zhen family. Ye City was in chaos at the moment. All the armies were fighting for wealth. If he did not take advantage of the chaos, he might not have another chance tomorrow.
Dismount! Cao Pi and the others rushed into Yuan Manor, but they suddenly heard a cry coming from the courtyard. They drew their swords and wanted to kill the other party.
However, when he turned around, he was awakened by a red light. He stopped what he was doing and asked,"Who are you?" Everyone trembled and gathered in a circle, not daring to speak. Seeing Cao Pi glaring at them, a woman stood up and said,""I am General Yuan's wife, Lady Liu!”
Hearing this, Cao Pi frowned. Why was Yuan Shao's wife in the Zhen family? However, he couldn't care less about that now.
"Who is this person?" Cao Pi saw that the woman was as beautiful as a flower. She was truly as pure as jade and had a beauty that could topple a country. His heart immediately moved.
Although he was already an adult, other than his two sisters-in-law and a group of young ladies, he had never met such a stunning beauty like this.
"This is the wife of Great General Yuan Xi, Lady Zhen. Yuan Xi had gone to Youzhou before, and Zhen Mi was not far away, so she did not leave!”
Cao Pi's heart thumped wildly when he heard the woman's words. It was no wonder that the young lady of the Zhen family was as beautiful as a fairy. Now that he had seen her, she was even more beautiful than a fairy.
Cao Pi's face was filled with love. He gently stepped forward and lifted her messy hair. When he saw her jade-like skin, exquisite eyes, and delicate cheeks, he was even more delighted.
"I am the son of Prime Minister Cao and the brother of the General, Cao Pi. You don't have to worry. With me around, I will definitely protect your family!”
As soon as Cao Pi finished speaking, Zhen Mi's eyes lit up. She looked up at him and asked. "Is Young Master serious?"
That ethereal voice made Cao Pi's heart flutter. "Naturally!"
In front of a beautiful woman, he naturally could not let his reputation down. Cao Pi sat down in the hall as he spoke. He was making his stance clear, as if he was saying that no one would dare to cause trouble with him around.
Indeed!
In just a short while, there were already three waves of soldiers outside the door. However, when they saw Cao Pi sitting there calmly, they naturally left in fear.
In the Prefecture Overseer's Mansion.
"General, the notice of peace in Ye City has been posted. The soldiers and horses in the city have also been transferred out.”Xu Huang reported.
"Reporting, reporting to the general, the Xuchang army has reported.”
"Bring it over." When Cao Zheng heard that it was a report from the Xuchang army, he thought that something big had happened in Xuchang. After all, the main army was with him. Currently, there were less than 30,000 soldiers in Xuchang.
"General Xu Huang, go and reorganize your army. Two days later, you will lead 150,000 troops back to Xuchang.”
Cao Zheng ordered.
"Yes, I accept your orders."
After Cao Zheng gave his instructions, Cao Pi brought his beloved girl over.
"Second brother, I'm back."
Cao Pi said to Cao Zheng.
Cao Zheng looked at Zhen Mi, who was beside Cao Pi, and then at Cao Pi. He couldn't help but feel that they were a match made in heaven.
"You're back?"
"Alright, there are other things. We'll talk about them another day. That's all for today.”
"Everyone, go back and rest for a day.”
Cao Zheng instructed the others.
"Yes."
After everyone left, only Cao Pi, Cao Zheng, and Zhen Mi were left in the hall.
"Zihuan, you have good taste. You didn't learn the good things about our father, but you did learn the bad habit of loving someone else's wife.”
Cao Zheng said with a hidden meaning.
Cao Pi could only listen and not refute. He did not even dare to breathe loudly.
"Miss, I've made a fool of myself." Cao Zheng said to Zhen Mi.
"It's fine. I'm willing to marry Second Young Master.”Zhen Mi said.
After all, he was the Lord of his prefecture. He couldn't just ignore it.
"In a few days, Xu Huang will be heading south. I'll get him to send the two of you back to Xuchang. As for your wedding, I'll get father to organize it for you when you arrive in Xuchang.”
"Go do what you need to do now."
Cao Zheng ordered him to leave.
"Thank you, Second Brother."
Then, Cao Pi left with Zhen Mi.
