Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Cao Cao did not agree to the matter immediately, but said that he would think about it and sent someone to arrange Jian Yong to live in the post house.

Then, Cao Cao took Cao Xiu to Xia Houlian's house.

Historically, Xia Houlian died relatively early, entrusting Xia Houjuan to Xia Houyuan before his death.

In fact, Xia Houyuan loved Xia Houjuan very much, and kept her in Qiao County all the time, not wanting her to go through the chaos of war.

As a result, unexpectedly, on the eve of the Battle of Guandu, Liu Bei left Yuan Shao and made a detour to Runan County.

It just so happened that Xia Houjuan went out of the city to collect firewood, but Zhang Fei bumped into him and took him prisoner.

Xia Houjuan did not dare to disclose his identity, but only said that he was a lady of the family.

Zhang Fei liked her beauty and cleverness, so he married her.

It wasn't until later that Xia Houyuan died in Dingjunshan that Xia Houjuan revealed his identity and asked to clean up for Xia Houyuan.

Zhang Fei didn't blame Xia Houjuan, but agreed to Xia Houjuan's request and buried Xia Houyuan.

Under Xia Houlian's knees, there is only one child, Xia Houjuan, so naturally he regards it as a treasure.

Xia Houjuan was painting in the mansion, when he heard that Cao Cao was visiting, he immediately came to the gate of the mansion to greet him.

"Juan'er has seen Uncle."

Cao Cao's eyes lit up immediately when he saw Xia Houjuan, he didn't expect that this girl turned out to be so beautiful, she was no worse than his daughter Cao Qing.

Back then, Xuzhou had two beauties, namely Mi Zhen and Cao Huan.

Now, Yanzhou also has two beauties, namely Cao Qing and Xia Houjuan.

Cao Cao couldn't help but feel complacent. My Cao family and Xiahou family can also produce beauties who are all over the country and the city.

However, Cao Cao suddenly thought, those calligraphy and paintings in Cao Qing's study room, his good mood was destroyed at once.

Hmph, Chinese thief, you have usurped my wife, Mrs. Bian, so don't think about trying to trick my daughter and niece.

This time, I want to betroth Qing'er and Juan'er to Zhang Fei.

what……

Cao Cao himself was taken aback by his own thoughts. The two daughters married Zhang Fei at the same time?

However, Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and this is a good way.

Looking at the current situation, it is only a matter of time before Yanzhou is broken by Hua Yu.

As long as Yanzhou was breached, Cao Cao would certainly die, and so would all the generals of the Cao and Xiahou clans.

The female family members of the Cao family and the Xiahou family will naturally fall into Hua Yu's hands.

According to the rules of troubled times, the fate of these female relatives is naturally in Hua Yu's hands.

Cao Cao could guess without even thinking about it. Once Cao Qing and Xia Houjuan fell into Hua Yu's hands, they would naturally be the same as Sun Jian's daughters and Liu Bei's daughters.

Cao Cao hated Hua Yu so much that he would rather marry Cao Qing and Xia Houjuan to Zhang Fei, that vulgar man, than let them fall into Hua Yu's hands.

So, at this moment, Cao Cao made up his mind.

Cao Cao smiled and said to Xia Houjuan, "I never thought that Juan'er would be so beautiful in a blink of an eye. It's really the blessing of Xiahou's family."

Xiahou Juan blushed beautifully, and said softly: "Uncle is absurd, Juan'er is just like a pussy willow, sister Qing is really beautiful."

"Uncle, please come inside."

"Yeah." Cao Cao nodded, walked towards the mansion, and asked as he walked, "Your father guards Chenliu and doesn't come home for many months. You live here by yourself, is it okay?"

"If you feel lonely, you might as well move to Qing'er, and the two of you can be companions."

"Thank you uncle for your concern." Xia Houjuan smiled slightly, "There are also some servants in the mansion, so it's not very lonely."

"Besides, Sister Qing will come to see Juan every now and then."

"That's good." Cao Cao nodded, and was about to speak again when suddenly a servant hurried over, "Miss Qibao, Miss Qing'er is here to visit."

Cao Cao chuckled, "Tell me Qing'er, and Qing'er will arrive right away. It's really interesting."

Xia Houjuan covered his mouth and smiled: "Uncle's words are really interesting."

"What did I say?" Cao Cao was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and laughed loudly, "Yeah, tell me Qing'er, and Qing'er will come right away. It's really interesting."

At this moment, Cao Qing's figure appeared.

Seeing Cao Cao from a distance, Cao Qing couldn't help being taken aback, then quickly walked over, and blessed himself: "My daughter has seen Daddy."

Cao Cao nodded with a smile: "Qing'er is free."

Cao Qing straightened up and asked, "Why does Daddy have time to come here today? Could it be that Uncle Lian is back?"

"No." Cao Cao said with a smile, "I came to Juan'er today to tell her something."

"Well, this matter is also related to you."

"Originally, I planned to come here first, and then go back to tell you."

"Since you're here, let's go to Juan'er's study together, and I'll tell you both about this."

Xia Houjuan and Cao Qing looked at each other, they were both at a loss, not sure why Cao Cao would look for them both at the same time.

Suddenly, Xia Houjuan seemed to have thought of something, he couldn't help but tighten his heart, and immediately said: "Uncle, Juan'er's study is not cleaned up, it is very messy, why don't we go to the living room."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "How messy a girl's study can be, it's okay, it's okay."

"Speaking of mess, uncle's study is definitely far above yours."

"Come on, let's talk in the study, it seems to be lively."

"The living room is used for meeting outsiders. If you entertain uncle in the living room, wouldn't it be a bit of an extravagance?"

Xia Houjuan had no choice but to wink at the maidservant who was following, and the latter understood and rushed to the study immediately.

Cao Cao looked at the six directions, and also quickened his pace, followed the maidservant, and walked towards Xia Houjuan's study.

Xia Houjuan couldn't help being startled, but couldn't call Cao Cao to stop, so he stomped his feet anxiously and followed quickly.

Cao Qing asked in a low voice: "Juan'er, what did my father tell you just now?"

Xia Houjuan shook his head: "It's just that we exchanged pleasantries just now, and you haven't gotten to the point, Sister Qing, you're here."

"Oh." Cao Qing nodded, frowning slightly, "The situation in Yanzhou is getting more and more tense right now. Father should be nervously dispatching troops and horses, so hurry up and deploy defenses."

"But he came here to look for you in his busy schedule, and even involved me, don't you think it's strange?"

Xia Houjuan is also an extremely intelligent woman. When Cao Qing reminded her, her face immediately changed color: "Sister Qing, you...you mean that uncle wants to use you and me to marry us and seek foreign aid?"

Cao Qing sighed slightly: "I just heard that Liu Bei's emissary, Jian Yong, came to Puyang and just met his father."

"Unexpectedly, my father came to you after sending Jian Yong away."

"It seems that Liu Bei's condemnation of the envoy's coming here must have something to do with you."

Xia Houjuan's expression changed again, and he asked, "Didn't Sister Qing say that this matter has something to do with you and me?"

Cao Qing sighed: "Based on what I know about my father, it must be his impromptu intention to involve me."

Xia Houjuan was taken aback: "Uncle wants you and me to marry Liu Bei?"
