Chapter 6 Night Chat in the Cao Family
The soul of the later generations that Liu Feng fused has a good drinking capacity. Although he is not a big drinker, he can still have four or five bottles of beer like Da Wusu. , if I change it to rice wine, I might even be able to show you how to drink a bucket a day.
For one stone, even if one kilogram in the Han Dynasty was calculated at 220 to 250 grams, it was still a full bucket and a half of mineral water. If you really drank it, you would have died.
This ability to drink seems to have been passed down to this body, and in terms of physical fitness, it is much stronger than in the previous life.
Liu Feng's drinking capacity will only be higher than in his previous life, not lower.
But Liu Feng did not dare to get drunk.
As a time traveler, he has too many secrets in his heart. If he makes a mistake while drunk, he may not be able to bear the consequences, and may even lose his life.
But Cao Bao was so attentive, and the two parties had just verbally reached a marriage agreement, so Liu Feng had to take the other party's thoughts into consideration.
So pretending to be drunk is the best way to get down.
Lying in the bullock cart, Liu Feng began to think about what would happen next.
Cao Bao is now his prospective father-in-law. As long as Liu Feng can convince Liu Bei to accept this marriage, the entire Danyang sect will have only two options: surrender or disintegration.
As far as the Danyang faction is concerned, except for Cao Bao, who is valuable to win over, there is really nothing worth winning over among them.
If Xu Dan realizes his interest and surrenders his skills, he can be left to become a rich man.
As for Cao Hong and his minions, they are lambs waiting to be slaughtered and can be killed and eaten.
The reason why we didn't move before was because we were worried that generals such as Cao Bao and Xu Dan who had military power would be uneasy about their death and might even start a rebellion.
Once Cao Bao can be trusted, these will not be a problem, and the time will come to take action.
Not to mention anything else, the property purchased by Cao Hong alone in Tancheng was worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. This was just the property and did not count the cash he had saved.
They were domineering in Xuzhou, and for so many years, they had all saved a lot of money, which was used to improve people's livelihood and help their father win the hearts and minds of Xuzhou people.
After Cao Bao completely moved closer to Liu Bei, Uncle Zhang had no reason to target him anymore.
As long as Zhang and Cao don't fight like in history, Lu Bu will never find a chance to steal the family even if he gets Yuan Shu's support.
The most important thing next is to convince Liu Bei to accept his plan and accept Cao Bao into his camp.
Liu Feng was thinking about how to make Liu Bei accept the things he secretly did on the bullock cart, and Cao Bao was not idle in the house either.
Coincidentally, Cao Bao was not drunk either.
Before, he acted very drunk in front of Liu Biao, but in fact, he was not really drunk.
After putting Liu Feng on the bullock cart and leaving, Cao Bao turned around and went back to the mansion without resting. Instead, he went directly to the quiet courtyard behind the mansion.
The person living here is his only daughter Cao Qing.
Cao Bao just made up his mind to make a bet and bet heavily on Liu Feng because he had no son and only had his only daughter Cao Qing.
This also means that even if his family property is not handed over to his son-in-law, it will still be handed over to other clan members.
But this does not mean that the matter is over, on the contrary, the trouble has just begun.
He needs to find someone to discuss carefully how to do the following things.
Although Cao Bao was determined, he was still worried about how to appease the rural parties of the Danyang faction once the marriage and cooperation between him and Liu Feng was made public.
What should I choose if they object fiercely?
"Father, if Uncle Xu and the others have a fierce attitude and have strong opinions, perhaps it will be the best result."
The person who said this was none other than Cao Bao's only daughter, Cao Qing .
Cao Qing lives up to his name, he is delicate and elegant, with fair skin, but there is a little bit of starlight hidden in the depths of his warm eyes. Cao Bao was a little confused and couldn't understand what his daughter was saying.
"What does Qing'er mean by this?"
Cao Qing was helpless and could only tell Cao Bao more straightforwardly: "Father, after Tao Gong left, you have become a member of the Danyang Sect. A de facto leader. In the process of Liu Shijun taking over Xuzhou, you and the Danyang faction not only did not contribute, but some people below also took the opportunity to spread some rumors to prevent Liu Shijun from taking over."
"In this case, even if Liu Shijun is willing to win over you and give you a favor, he doesn't want you to bring the entire Danyang sect to join him, right?"
Cao Bao still didn't understand and became more and more confused: "Is there anything wrong with this? If my father can persuade Xu Zhengshi and the others, wouldn't he have a greater say under Liu Shijun?"
Cao Qing sighed secretly in his heart. He didn't know whether his father was lucky or bad.
He was just a middleman, but by mistake, with Tao Qian's full support, he actually became the leader of the Danyang Sect and was in charge of the military of a state.
The higher you can go, the harder you will fall if you fall.
Fortunately, my father has never had any ambitions and is quite self-aware. Now I have met the olive branch extended by Liu Shijun. As long as he analyzes the matter thoroughly, I think the family will be able to survive.
"Father, it is precisely because you have such thoughts that Qing'er said that it would be a good thing if Uncle Xu had any objections."
Cao Qing was a little tired: "Father, the Danyang faction is too big and has too much military power. If you all stick together and take refuge with Liu Shijun, then the situation will still be that the subordinates are strong and the master is weak. Even if Liu Shijun is with our family How can you really feel at ease with my family if you get married?"
"Only if you and Uncle Xu have differences, the Danyang Sect is divided into several small factions, which will best suit Liu Shijun's wishes."< br>
Cao Bao came to his senses and felt that what his daughter said made sense, but he still retorted in confusion: "But Liu Shijun and Chen Yuanlong have a very close relationship, and Chen Yuanlong has never been on good terms with his father. , If my father and Xu Zhengshi are estranged, if Chen Yuanlong and the Xuzhou guys want to deal with my father, wouldn't my father not even have anyone to help him speak? "
Cao Qing was almost speechless.
"Father, although Chen Gongcao is at odds with you, he has a generous temperament and an open-minded man. He is not a sinister person. He will definitely not slander or frame my father behind his back. Moreover, my father will be Liu Shijun's in-law in the future. , is the young master’s father-in-law, and he is not close to her. How could Chen Yuanlong do such a thankless thing with his wisdom?”
Cao Bao suddenly realized it, but then he asked: "How should a father deal with the township party kings?"
Cao Qing thought for a moment: "Fathers can be divided and transformed."
Cao Bao was overjoyed: "How to operate?"
"If Uncle Xu Shishu and the others come to ask, my father can urge them to hand over the troops. If necessary, he can compensate them with the profit of the snow and salt that the young master compensates my family."< br>
After hearing this, Cao Bao looked reluctant: "Would my family suffer too much?"
Cao Qing was about to laugh angrily at his father: "Father, if you can really accomplish this, Mr. Liu will be overjoyed and admire you from the bottom of his heart. The benefits he will gain will be far greater than the benefits of snow and salt."
"Yes, yes."
Cao Bao responded awkwardly, but there was still a look of pain on his face, making Cao Qing dumbfounded.
"My father is generous and generous, and promised Xu Shishu and the others that the benefits of snow and salt would come from Qing'er's dowry. I believe that when the young master finds out, he will only be happy to praise him instead of blaming his father."< br>
“This, how can this work.”
Although Cao Bao was very reluctant to part with Xueyan's profits, he felt even more sorry for his precious daughter: "My father knows that once Liu Shijun's envoys come to visit, he will ask Xu Dan and them to come to the house and talk about it, and then he will follow the rules Qing'er伱 will do it."
Cao Qing was satisfied and showed a gentle smile.
Cao Bao looked at his quiet and elegant daughter and couldn't help but think of Liu Feng who was talking eloquently in front of him.
He suddenly felt that if this marriage was successful, it might be a good home for his daughter.
While Cao Bao was sighing, several other wealthy and powerful families in Tancheng County also received news of Liu Feng's visit to the Cao family.
