Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 417 Cao Cao: I have a daughter

When Xiahou Yuan heard Cao Cao say this, he suppressed the urge to go up and stop him.

Cao Cao looked at Xu Rong and Gao Shun and sighed secretly.

How come Yuan Benchu, that idiot, has such a good life?
Having such a good son-in-law!
While Cao Cao was looking at Xu Rong and others with envy, Zhao Yun and Tian Yu had already ridden their horses to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei stepped forward with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

When the two sides met, Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun with a complicated expression and forced a smile, "Zilong, Guo Rang, congratulations!"

"Now, you have a bright future."

"You command a large army. It's really enviable."

Tian Yu said with a guilty look on his face: "Brother, I——"

Liu Bei rode forward, patted Tian Yu's shoulder gently, and said softly: "You can become famous all over the world, this is what I hope for."

"You've wasted decades following me, and I've always felt sorry for you."

Tian Yu nodded, tears rolling down his face, and said, "Brother, I'm sorry."

Guan Yu looked at Tian Yu and said, "Okay, Guo Rang, you don't owe us anything."

"Now you are the commander of an army, and you are crying in public, making others laugh at you."

Tian Yu hummed, wiped his tears with both hands, and then said to Liu Bei: "Brother, my nephew -"

Liu Bei sighed and said, "This is his fate."

"Born to a father like me."

"Have you ever met Gan and Mi?"

Tian Yu nodded and said, "Lü Bu is pretty good. He didn't hurt Gan."

"It's just that Mi Shi is quite resentful towards you, brother. She wants to break off the engagement with you, but her two brothers don't agree."

Liu Bei looked a little unhappy and said, "I am sorry for them."

"The two Mi brothers gave me most of their assets, and more than 2,000 pieces of music."

"Not only did I fail to help them achieve their wish, I also ruined their family fortune."

"Go back and tell the Mi brothers that I will find a way to repay their kindness."

"As for the marriage, I'll go with the younger sister of the Mi family."

"I don't deserve her."

Zhao Yun, who was standing by, said, "Don't underestimate yourself, Lord Xuande. You are just in trouble now, but you have a bright future ahead of you."

Liu Bei finally came to his senses, looked at Zhao Yun, and said with a forced smile: "Zilong, don't comfort me."

"I know my own weight."

Looking at Zhao Yun, Liu Bei felt as if someone had stabbed him with a knife.

Destiny is not on your side.

Otherwise, he and the powerful people in Changshan County would be his own.

Although they are few in number, each of them is brave and good at fighting, and they are well-equipped.

I am lacking these.

but--

When Zhao Yun saw Liu Bei sighing, he didn't know how to comfort him.

After all, Liu Bei and he served different masters.

Greetings on the battlefield are the greatest kindness shown by both lords.

Zhao Yun clasped his fists towards Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and said, "Lord Xuande, we are leaving now."

After saying this, he turned around and left.

Tian Yu followed closely behind.

Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei watched Zhao Yun and Tian Yu leave with complicated expressions.

Zhang Fei suddenly spoke up and whispered, "Brother, why don't we go to Yuan Shao's son-in-law?"

"You have already recommended Yuan Shao's eldest son, Yuan Tan."

"Now Zilong and Guorang are here again."

"That boy, Yuan Shao's son-in-law, must be sold out for favors no matter what."

Guan Yu also looked at Liu Bei with some interest.

The main thing is that Yuan Shao's son-in-law was able to capture Gao Shun and the Xianzhen Camp!

They had fought against Lu Bu several times before, but were defeated by Gao Shun's Xianchen Camp every time!

Liu Bei felt uncomfortable when he heard Zhang Fei say this.

Liu Bei looked at Zhao Yun and Tian Yu from a distance and saw them returning to Zhang Sui. Tian Yu was cupping his hands, and Zhao Yun was smiling and talking about something. Liu Bei shook his head. He was somewhat unwilling.

The image of the huge mulberry tree, more than five meters tall, standing in front of his house emerged in his mind.

Everyone says that they have the potential to be an emperor.

If I really go on like this, my life will be completely over, and I will only be able to be a general under someone else for the rest of my life.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said in a hoarse voice: "Let's talk about it later."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at each other and said nothing more.

When Zhao Yun returned to Zhang Sui, Zhang Sui took Zhao Yun and rode towards Cao Cao.

Seeing this, Cao Cao called Xiahou Yuan and Xu Chu to follow.

The two sides met.

Cao Cao took the initiative to bow to Zhang Sui and said with a smile: "General Zhang, long time no see!"

Zhang Sui returned the greeting and said directly: "Lord Cao, this road is blocked."

"I have captured Lu Bu."

"My father-in-law has submitted a petition to the court, recommending me as governor of Xuzhou."

Although Cao Cao had already expected that Xuzhou would be lost, he still felt extremely aggrieved when Zhang Sui said it. His face turned pale as he said, "Chen Deng and the others——"

Zhang Sui said: "He who knows the current situation is a hero."

"Chen Deng made great contributions to the capture of Xuzhou this time."

"I have appointed him as the Lieutenant General of the Army and one of my military advisors."

When Cao Cao heard Zhang Sui's honest confession, he almost vomited blood.

He wanted to swear.

Chen Deng, the traitor!

I trusted him so much!

Originally, he wanted to alienate him and this kid, but he didn't expect that this kid wouldn't give him any chance at all!
Cao Cao suppressed his grief and anger and said, "Then, congratulations!"

Seeing Cao Cao’s grim expression, Xun You rode his horse forward.

Cao Cao hurriedly said to Xun You, "Gongda, this is General Zhang Sui, the Marquis of Xincheng, who has served the king well."

Guo Jia also rode up on his horse.

Guo Jia clasped his fists towards Xun You and said, "I am Guo Jia of Yingchuan, Guo Fengxiao, nice to meet Brother Gongda!"

Xun You looked at Guo Jia in surprise.

In his early years in Yingchuan, before he took up an official position, he had heard of Guo Jia's talent and said he was a child prodigy.

Later, he received a call from Cao Cao and rushed to Xudu to meet his uncle Xun Yu. They talked about the past with each other and he heard his uncle Xun Yu mention Guo Jia.

He also thought that Xi Zhicai was unreliable, so he asked his uncle Xun Yu to send someone to find Guo Jia to replace Xi Zhicai.

However, the person sent said that Guo Jia had gone out and his return date was unknown.

But I didn’t expect to see it here!
Seeing Xun You staring at him in a daze, Guo Jia asked in confusion, "Brother Gongda?"

Cao Cao also reminded in a low voice: "Gongda, what's wrong?"

Xun You came back to his senses at this point. He did not reply to Cao Cao, but whispered, "My Lord, let's form a marriage alliance."

Cao Cao hummed, looked at Zhang Sui and said, "General Zhang, I am not here to take over Xuzhou, but to find you."

Zhang Sui smiled and said, "You came to me specifically? What do you mean?"

Cao Cao said: "You are now in charge of Xuzhou, and we are neighbors. I think it is not appropriate for both of us to fight."

"Two dogs fight, play off."

"Guo Yuan's 3,000 cavalry have been defeated by me."

"General Zhang didn't make any movement during this time—"

Cao Cao swallowed his previous frustration and paused before continuing, "This little loss is not enough to cause any serious damage to Yuan Benchu."

"Yuan Benchu ​​always likes to strike a balance and treats his soldiers equally."

"General Zhang, you have accomplished great things this time, but you have also planted the seeds of disaster."

Neither Zhang Sui nor Guo Jia spoke.

Cao Cao laughed and said to Zhang Sui: "A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor."

"General Zhang, you are young and promising. I really envy you."

"As it happens, I have a daughter who will soon be of marriageable age. She is good at singing and dancing, well-educated and well-mannered."

"I want to marry her to General Zhang as his concubine. What do you think?"
