[Three Kingdoms] Seven steps into wetness

When Cao Zhi heard this, he couldn't hide the shock on his face.Including the reluctance to reject, including the fear of the future... All of them are mixed together, even if he himself can't tell what it means.

There is only one sentence in his heart - niece Cui Yan, will marry you as his wife!

What is a wife?

His wife is his lifelong partner, the person he will hand in hand with in the future no matter whether he is poor or rich, no matter whether he is in adversity or in peace.

Being in the Cao family, Cao Zhi had already expected that the marriage would be involuntary.He just didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

Who is Cui Yan?

Cui Yan is quite a respected celebrity nowadays.He used to work in the Communist Party of Yuan Shaoying. He was upright and elegant, more farsighted, dignified, and awe-inspiring in the court. Cao Cao was also awed by his righteousness.

Now Cui Yan is in the prime minister's residence Dongcao, and his rank is no more than a low-level official, but he has quite a lot of power in his hands, and is responsible for the evaluation of the promotion and promotion of officials in the entire Wei State, and the selection of talents.

Cui Yan has an elegant character, an upright heart, and a better understanding of people.During the more than ten years when Cui Yan was in charge of selecting and evaluating officials, all officials of the imperial court and scholars all over the world admired Cui Yan.Even Cao Cao respected Cui Yan, who was upright and famous all over the world.

It is thought that Cao Zhi's choice of this marriage is enough to explain Cao Cao's expectations for Cao Zhi.

However, Cao Zhi's expression was really beyond his expectation.

Cao Cao frowned and said displeasedly, "Cao Zhi, what is your expression?"

It took Cao Zhi a long time to move.

His body was almost stiff, and he bowed and said: "Son, take orders!"

Cao Cao looked at him up and down for a long time, and suddenly said: "You look like this because you have someone you like in your heart?"

Cao Zhi raised his head suddenly.

Cao Cao said indifferently: "My son, whoever you like, you have to say it out loud. If you like it, tell Weifu, and Weifu will hire you for you."

Cao Zhi's eyes flickered.After all, he bowed and said word by word: "Thank you father, but I can't say it!"

Cao Cao's frown deepened: "If you like it, you like it. What do you mean you can't say it?"

Cao Zhi's eyes were bitter, and he only showed a forced smile for a long time.

Cao Cao looked at him for a while.After a long time, he said, "It seems that the person you like has already married someone else's wife."

Cao Zhi is definitely not a gentleman, because it is absolutely impossible for a gentleman to pretend for so many years, so the point that a gentleman does not take what others like can be omitted.And with their current status, why can't they say it?So Cao Zhi didn't want to tell the reason for this woman, not only because she married another woman, but also because her husband was something Cao Zhi didn't want to have an affair with.

Who is this person?

Cao Zhi has lived in the mansion for a long time and has never had any contact with women.Then this woman is probably the wife of Cao Pi or Cao Zhang.

Cao Cao took a deep breath to hide the inexplicable darkness.

He finally patted Cao Zhi on the shoulder hard, and said lightly: "You are still young, I don't know if you liked it when you were young, but the future is the most important thing! Well, I have to fight Ma Chao as my father. After the big victory comes back, Fang It's the day you marry Cui's eldest daughter!"

It was getting dark.

Cao Zhi walked to Guo Jia's courtyard alone, and stood at the door in a daze.It wasn't until the servant told Guo Jia that Guo Jia stood up and welcomed Cao Zhi into the hall.

He ordered someone to hold the lamp, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Cao Zhi looked at him without saying a word.

Guo Jia felt a little nervous when he saw him, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his forehead, but Cao Zhi took his hand and tightened it tightly.

Guo Jia frowned slightly.

Then, he heard Cao Zhi's almost indifferent voice: "I'm going to marry a wife."

Guo Jia was slightly taken aback.

His complexion became paler and paler, and there was a little bewilderment in his eyes.But this kind of bewilderment was only fleeting, so fast that even Cao Zhi thought it was an illusion.

Then he threw up a smile, and he said, "Congratulations."

Cao Zhi hardly knew what expression to use to face Guo Jia.He let go of his hand and repeated softly: "...Congratulations?"

Guo Jia smiled and said: "This is a good thing. At least I and the Fourth Young Master can be regarded as mentors and apprentices. The student married a wife and is very happy to be a teacher. I will go get some wine and drink with the Fourth Young Master!"

Cao Zhi suddenly raised his head and stared at him.

He stared at Guo Jia seriously and strangely as if he was seeing Guo Jia for the first time, or he was comparing this face with the one in his heart, whether there was any difference.

Five years, Cao Zhi liked this person for five full years.

He doesn't know how long he lived in the previous life, but in this life he started liking someone since he was 15 years old.In five years, he went from missing someone occasionally to worrying about him day and night.After getting along with him, I tried my best to make him happy.

Why do you like it?

During those long and boring years, Cao Zhi has grown from a cautious child to a teenager who knows the rules. The deep-rooted obsession of "alive" does not seem far away, so he began to be dissatisfied with the status quo.

Maybe Guo Jia guessed right, the reason why Cao Zhi liked him was really because of that time of drinking, he saw that he had lofty ideals.

Because I have ideals, I am never at a loss, so I am steadfast.Cao Zhi watched for a long time and was confused for a long time, so he began to chase him.

But so what?Regardless of the cause, the ending is that he fell in love with this person.

From a slight liking, it gradually deepened to the point where he couldn't extricate himself, and even wanted to stay with him forever.

I don't know but think about it.

He is not reconciled, how can he be reconciled?

Guo Jia had already fetched fine wine and a cup for himself, but put a big bowl for Cao Zhi.

Just like drinking with the young Cao Zhi many years ago, the roles have been reversed.

Cao Zhi drank three jars of wine and finally got drunk.In fact, since he could drink, he was rarely drunk.He also talks nonsense when he's drunk, like now, he repeats, "I'm so sick, sir."

Why do you feel uncomfortable when you want to get married?

Guo Jia heard that, holding the bowl of wine, he turned his attention to Cao Zhi.After a long time, he finally closed his eyes, raised his head and stroked Cao Zhi's hair, and said in a voice that he could only hear, "Everything will pass."

Sadness is only temporary, everything will pass.When he stands on a certain day in the future when the weather is calm and the clouds are clear, looking back on today, he may feel that he was really childish and almost cute in the past.

Even if it is, it is unique and pure.

At the end of March in the 16th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao and Le Jin to set off.In April, Zhong Yao was ordered to lead troops to conquer Hanzhong.When Zhong Yao arrived in Yongzhou, Ma Chao suspected of rebellion.

Ma Chao's first reaction was to occupy Tongguan and gather all the soldiers and horses together.However, on the night when he gathered all the soldiers and horses from all over the place, he suddenly saw the flames of war in the direction of Tongguan in the East!

At this time, the general guarding Tongguan had put these cavalry pretending to be merchants to the west into the city, forming a double-team situation, and the army was defeated immediately.

Ma Chao led his troops to Tongguan to no avail.Even before he arrived, Zhang Liao and Cao Ren had completely killed the defenders and blocked Tongguan to resist Ma Chao.

In the first battle, both sides suffered heavy casualties. Ma Chao had [-] soldiers, but he was unable to capture Tongguan, which had only [-] cavalry and [-] crossbowmen.

Ma Chao finally realized the danger of this trip.He quickly retreated to Weikou and sent someone to ask Han Sui to send troops.

Soon, Han Sui responded.

When Han Sui agreed, the situation was already very critical for them.At this time, Zhong Yao and Le Jin marched into Xinye and camped in Wuzhangyuan, Hanzhong.Cao Cao marched into Xinye and took the southwest.

That is to say, Cao Cao, Zhang Liao, and Le Jin have surrounded Ma Chao from the north, west, and east. Apart from fleeing to Liangzhou or the north, Ma Chao has no way to avoid it.

Only one battle!

The generals in Guanzhong all supported one side of the army.Ma Chao united Yang Qiu, Han Sui, Hou Xuan... a total of ten forces rose up against Cao Cao.

At this time, Cao Cao had marched into Weishui from Xinye.During this period, many suspicious soldiers were set up, and soldiers were secretly carried into the Weishui River by boats and used as pontoon bridges.The troops were divided and camped south of the Wei River.

After setting up camp, he summoned the generals and said, "After night falls today, Ma Chao will surely attack. Let us arrange as follows, and it is best to kill Ma Chao."

It is night, the moon and stars are rare.

The night in Yongzhou in April is still a bit cool.Just when everything was silent, Cao Ying suddenly thought of the sound of horseshoes.

A small half of the cavalry jumped into the camp, and the lights of the whole camp were lit up.Elite soldiers held swords and guns, appeared from hiding places, and blocked the gate of the camp.

It was destined to be a night of killing.

Heavy vehicles were used to resist the subsequent cavalry charge, and the crossbowmen fired arrows to kill, and even surrounded and strangled the enemy troops that had rushed in.In just a short moment, the camp was already full of blood!

Everyone was overwhelmed. Cao Cao had tried his best to estimate the strength of Xiliang cavalry, but unfortunately he still underestimated them.The two thousand cavalry who were placed in the camp paid three times the price to kill them!

Upon seeing this, Ma Chao ordered an immediate retreat.

Cao Zhi, Cao Xiu and others lay in ambush on the road that Ma Chao must pass through to escape, and waited quietly for the passage of time with more than a hundred archers.

He soon waited for Ma Chao.

The moment he saw Ma Chao, he drew his bow and aimed.He was surrounded by Cao Xiu and other soldiers, all pointing their bows and arrows at Ma Chao who was galloping on horseback.

The moon and stars are sparse, and the night is transparent.

Cao Zhi suddenly let go, and the arrow went straight to Ma Chao's horse with the sound of piercing the sky.And Cao Xiu's arrow was heading towards his chest.

If Ma Chao noticed it.He suddenly leaned over and dodged Cao Xiu's arrow, but the horse under his crotch neighed miserably and fell to the ground.

At the critical moment, he quickly landed and stood firm, climbed on the cavalry horse that came to rescue him, and ran away quickly.

Although Ma Chao has been losing, he has become more courageous as he fights.Because comparing his losses with Cao Cao's, he is very confident that he can defeat Cao Cao!He ordered someone to send a letter to Cao Cao.The general idea in the letter is that as long as Cao Cao entrusts them with the land west of the Yellow River in Liangzhou, they will retreat and make peace.

When Cao Cao borrowed this letter, he just sneered.

At the end of April, Cao Cao marched into Weishui.

During this period, Ma Chao came to the front of the battle countless times to provoke, Cao Cao refused.

It wasn't until Han Sui and the others headed for this place that Cao Cao showed a slight smile on his face.

Everyone knows that the time is ripe.

Cao Cao discussed how to deal with these people, and first asked Cao Zhi: "Do you have a plan, fourth?"

Cao Zhi shook his head.

Jia Xu suggested: "Although Ma Chao is brave, he has one great shortcoming, that is, he is too suspicious. Therefore, I think that the prime minister will not pretend to surrender, and chat with Han Sui for a day."

Cao Cao said, "Oh?"

Jia Xu said indifferently: "The Prime Minister and Han Sui's father were Xiaolian in the same age, and they were friends of Han Sui's age. When Han Sui met the Prime Minister, he only needed to talk about old things in the army. Ma Chao would doubt what you were talking about. Han Sui himself would not tell Ma Chao. When the prime minister returns, he will write a letter of revision and peace, and Ma Chao must have doubts in his heart."

Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed.

In May of the 16th year of Jian'an, Cao Cao used Jia Xu's plan to separate Ma Chao and Han Sui.

Soon, there was a battle in Weishui.Cao Cao first picked the horse army with light soldiers.After fighting for a long time, the elite cavalry attacked fiercely and defeated the horse army.

Han Sui, Ma Chao and others fled to Liangzhou, where they were ambushed and killed by Zhong Yaolejin.Yang Qiu and other generals surrendered, and the land in Guanzhong was settled.

In July, Cao Zhi got married.
