Cao Jie smiles and says in a soft voice, "I'd rather be a hero's concubine than a mediocre wife. It's my blessing that I can marry my husband. I don't feel aggrieved. "

After listening to Cao Jie, Zhang Xiu nodded slightly.

Cao Jie's attitude is good.

Zhang Xiu once again said: "I am in Nanyang, although the war with Cao Gong is over for the time being. After that, there will be another battle with Cao Gong. How can you deal with yourself then? "

Cao Jie calmly said: "before I got married, my father specially called me to the study and said that I would marry my husband. I married my husband and entered the door of Zhang Jia. I was a member of Zhang Jia. This life, this life, will never change. "

Utterance is decisive.

In fact, this is the characteristic of ancient women, married from the husband, married daughter is like pouring out water.

"Good!"

Zhang Xiu gave a good cry.

He appreciates the bearing of Cao Jie. Although Cao Jie is a woman, he is calm and gives people a feeling of not being simple.

Zhang Xiu looked at Cao Jie, with an aggressive look in her eyes.

Cao Jie is a little shy.

She moved her jaw down a little, and looked unnatural on her pretty cheek. Once came to Nanyang County on the way, Cao Jie convinced himself, even if Zhang Xiu is a big man, she also recognized.

I didn't expect that Zhang Xiu would be so handsome.

Talented!

Have the ability!

More powerful, still so handsome. Such a husband may not be found with a lantern.

At this time, Cao Jie did not blame Cao Cao at all. On the contrary, he was very grateful to Cao Cao. As a woman in a prince's family, her parents make decisions on major matters of marriage. Under such a premise, it is extremely lucky to marry a man like Zhang Xiu.

Zhang Xiu looked at her for a moment, then drew back her eyes and solemnly said, "besides you, I have only one wife. That is just pregnant Huang Yueying. You, Cao Jie, are my second woman. "

"To you, or to Yueying, I have the same attitude."

"I'll live up to you."

Zhang Xiu said: "if it's superfluous, there's nothing to say. It's a long life. Time will tell. "

Cao Jie heard Zhang Xiu's words, a heart hanging in the air, is also landing. It is impossible for a vassal like Zhang Xiu to have only one woman. Even his father, Cao Cao, had many women.

Zhang Xiu now, but only one woman, is good.

Cao Jie's elder brother, Cao ang, is a little older than Zhang Xiu. He has many wives and concubines and several women. By comparison, Cao Jie is very satisfied with Zhang Xiu's situation.

She is quite content.

Contented, happy!

Cao Jie also answered: "a king is like a rock, and a concubine is like a reed. They will never bear each other."

Zhang xiudao said: "you're new here. You don't know much about Nanyang and you're not familiar with Yueying. Yueying is a very simple person. She doesn't have any scheming and it's not difficult to get along with her. "

"You're smart. You know how to get along."

"I will go south this time, but I'm in a hurry. I can't go south with you. I will arrange people to escort you back to Yuyang county and let Xu Shu settle you. When you get to Yuyang County, you can rest assured that you will live there. "

Zhang Xiu said the next arrangement.

Cao Jie's tone was soft and he said, "I'll listen to my husband's arrangement." She didn't ask Zhang Xiu what she was going to do, because it was not what she should ask.

Zhang Xiu said: "go down!"

"Here it is

After a salute, Cao Jie turned and stepped down.

But when she came out of the camp, her heart was murmuring, is it because her charm is not enough? As soon as Zhang Xiu married her, she was in a hurry to go south and didn't intend to leave her to serve her.

With all kinds of ideas in mind, Cao Jie returned to the camp where he lived.

Seeing that Cao Jie came back, the servant girl looked curious and said, "girl, how does my uncle treat you?"

"Very good."

Cao nodded.

When she talks with Zhang Xiu, Zhang Xiu's words are soft and her tone is firm. It gives people a good feeling, without any frivolity.

Such a person, in line with Cao Jie's mate selection criteria.

Even beyond her standards.

As soon as the servant girl listened to Cao Jie's words, she knew that the result must be quite good. In her heart, she began to calculate that although Cao Jie was a concubine for the time being, her identity in the future might not be bad.

She might have a chance, too.

They sat together, muttering private words.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiu called Pang Tong to the tent. When Jia Xu left the barracks, Pang Tong gave advice for Zhang Xiu and arranged the military affairs.

Zhang Xiu said: "Shiyuan, you arrange a carriage to send Cao Jie back to Yuyang county. Remember, you have to give the person to Xu Shu for arrangement, so that he can arrange it properly and not neglect it. "

"Yes

Pang Tong responded directly.

As soon as the words changed, Pang Tong asked: "the Lord also wants to go south to Xiangyang to recruit the talents mentioned by Kuai Liang. Since my Lord wants to go south, why don't he go with Cao Jie? "Zhang Xiu shook her head and said, "I have to be in a hurry to go south this time. I don't have time to travel. Wen and this to Guanzhong, fast is January, slow is about two months. I have to take care of everything in this time. "

Pang Tong nodded and agreed, and continued: "after seeing off Cao Jie, the LORD went south, he and Chen got together, led the army to the west of Nanyang County, and stationed at the border of Wuguan. On the one hand, it's convenient to go northward at the border, and on the other hand, it's convenient to get in touch with Mr. Wenhe. "

"Yes!"

Zhang Xiu agreed directly.

Going to Wuguan is the most suitable arrangement.

Zhang Xiu arranged the military affairs properly and let Pang Tong carry out them. He called to Deng Zhan and took him south again. This time she went south to Xiangyang, Zhang Xiu didn't even take the soldiers with her, so she only took Deng Zhan.

Deng Zhan is Zhang Xiu's bodyguard, responsible for protecting Zhang Xiu's safety.

Once Deng Zhan was just a Ranger. He did not follow Zhang Xiu for a long time, but witnessed Zhang Xiu defeat Cao Cao, marry Cao Jie, and become a Zhennan general appointed by the imperial court.

Although he is only Zhang Xiu's guard, even without official position, his heart is full of hope.

The stronger Zhang Xiu is, the more promising his guard will be.

They rode along without any delay. It's spring March now, the weather is good, not hot or cold, the road is smooth, in a short time, across the whole Nanyang County, into the Xiangyang boundary.

Zhang Xiu went south to Xiangyang and hid her whereabouts. No one was informed. After he and Deng Zhan entered Xiangyang City, Zhang Xiu didn't even go to the Huang family, but went to the Kuai family.

In Kuai's study, he met Kuai Liang.

Today, Kuai Liang has a natural and unrestrained life. After all, he is not involved in government affairs.

Kuai Liang stood in front of Zhang Xiu and said, "Kuai Liang, meet the Lord!"

The Kuai family surrendered to Zhang Xiu, and Kuai Liang called Zhang Xiu the Lord, which is what it should be.

Zhang Xiu picked up Kuai Liang and said with a smile, "a letter from Mr. zirou is timely for me."

Kuai Liang said, "my Lord is wrong."

Immediately, Kuai Liang asked Zhang Xiu to take a seat. He took a seat at the bottom, and then said, "my Lord has arrived in Xiangyang quietly. Are you ready to attract Liu Ba first?"

Now Liu Ba is in Xiangyang. Although he doesn't live in seclusion in the city, he is in the southeast of Xiangyang City, near lumen mountain.

Zhang Xiuyan said: "Liu BA was in Xiangyang, so he was the first to recruit him. It's just that Mr. zirou's letter mentions all the things about Liuba, but it's not detailed. So I came here to ask Mr. zirou for advice. "

Zhang Xiu knows about Liu ba.

But he didn't know much about the specific situation of Liu ba. After all, there was no intersection between Liu Ba and Liu ba.

Kuai Liang said with a smile: "although Liu Ba is a scholar of Confucianism, he is inclined to Legalism and is the skin and bone of Confucianism. Just like this, he despised Liu Biao's soft means. If you want to recruit Liu Ba, you can start from this aspect. "

Zhang Xiu nodded.

This is a crucial entry point.

In troubled times, we can only use heavy allusions. Therefore, most of the time, Legalists are the main, supplemented by Confucianism. In other words, Confucianism is still the mainstream, but legalism is the bone and Confucianism is the skin, which is the trend.

As soon as the words changed, Zhang Xiu said, "where's Huang Zhong?"

Kuai Liang said: "it will be easier to recruit Huang Zhong. Huang Zhong had a son under his knee named Huang Xu. He had been weak and sick since he was a child. He had been seeking medical advice, but he had never been cured. Zhang Zhongjing, under the Lord's command, has a good command of medicine. With him, he may be able to cure Huang Xu's illness. This is a great opportunity to recruit Huang Zhong. "

"Thank you, sir.

Zhang Xiu bows her hand to thank Kuai Liang. Thanks to Kuai Liang's news, he won't take a detour.
