Chapter 78 Su Yu marries Han Fu's daughter? Cao Cao: This is making a contribution!
two hours later
Han Fu, the last legitimate governor of Ji Province in the Han Dynasty, passed away on the ship sent by Su Yu to pick him up.
At first glance, Han Fu seems quite aggrieved, right?
But only Su Yu knew that Han Fu in this life was far more respectable than in the previous one.
The original Han Fu, after losing Ji Province, went south to seek refuge with Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu.
Yuan Shao deliberately sent an envoy to Zhang Miao, allowing Han Fu to overhear part of their conversation.
Han Fu mistakenly believed that Yuan Shao wanted Zhang Miao to kill him, and ultimately ended his life in a latrine.
And this life.
Before Han Fu died, at least her close friend Pan Feng and her daughter Han Dai were by her side.
Yes, the girl beside Han Fu is named Han Dai. She is his eldest daughter and only child.
"Yuan Shao, I will kill you!"
Han Dai's eyes were streaked with tears, but her heart was filled with boundless hatred for Yuan Shao.
Don't underestimate Han Dai.
As Han Fu's only daughter, she had been practicing martial arts with Pan Feng since she was a child.
His martial arts skills are at least second-rate in the world.
Seeing that Han Fu had finally breathed his last, Li Dian sighed deeply.
The task Su Yu gave him was to bring Han Fu back safely.
But now, Han Fu has died on the ship.
This left Li Dian quite helpless.
Damn Shen Pei!
You're already shooting arrows at Han Fu, fine, but why the hell did you have to use poisoned arrows?
What grudge could they possibly hold against someone to be so ruthless!
Li Dian kept cursing Shen Pei.
I don't know.
At this time, Shen Pei and Xin Ping were welcoming their new lord, Yuan Shao, to Ye City.
Sometimes, it's really hard to judge a person's loyalty and righteousness.
Were Shen Pei and Xin Ping loyal ministers?
They were extremely loyal to Yuan Shao!
Historically, one refused to surrender and died burning the city; the other died defiantly, cursing Cao Cao's army.
But they had absolutely no loyalty to Han Fu.
The entire Ji Province was not shrouded in gloom because of Han Fu's death.
On the contrary, Yuan Shao's arrival led to a rapid period of consolidation.
It can also be seen from this.
Han Fu, the governor of Ji Province, was truly not suited for a chaotic era.
……
"What?"
"Han Fu is dead?"
Dongjun Council
Cao Cao slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
Li Dian sent someone to bring the news back as quickly as possible.
Upon learning of Han Fu's death, Cao Cao sighed deeply, his face showing helplessness.
Su Yu also shook his head.
Fortunately, Pan Feng and Han Fu's daughter, Han Dai, is still alive, which is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
Beside Su Yu, Cheng Yu looked at Cao Cao and cupped his hands in greeting:
"My lord, Han Fu's daughter is also from a distinguished family."
"Moreover, she had never married and was in the prime of her youth."
"Why doesn't my lord take her into his room?"
Upon hearing that Han Dai had never married, Cao Cao immediately shook his head and replied with the eyes of a virtuous gentleman:
"Zhongde, how could I, Cao, take advantage of someone in distress?"
“It is inappropriate for Cao to take Han Dai as a concubine after her father has just passed away.”
As for being a wife, that's obviously impossible.
Cao Cao and his principal wife, Lady Ding, had a very good relationship.
The breakdown in their relationship began with Cao Ang's death in Wancheng.
Now, even if Cao Cao had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't dare to divorce Lady Ding.
Moreover.
Even in the original history, it was because Lady Ding hated Cao Cao for his illicit affairs in Wancheng, which led to Cao Ang's death, that she "divorced Cao Cao," not because Cao Cao divorced her.
The Cao, Xiahou, and Ding families had a tradition of intermarriage since the Western Han Dynasty.
It has been several hundred years since then.
Why would Cao Cao give up the position of his principal wife to anyone other than Lady Ding without a reason?
however.
Cheng Yu is a rather stubborn old man.
Cheng Yu, neither humble nor arrogant, cupped his hands again and said:
"My lord, you are mistaken."
"Han Dai is Han Fu's daughter. Although Han Fu is dead, she still cannot be considered an ordinary woman."
“Only if our lord takes her as his concubine will Pan Feng and the two thousand soldiers from Ji Province truly be loyal to our lord.”
Cheng Yu was actually right.
Historically, Cao Cao's desire to cause trouble for Zhang Xiu's aunt, Lady Zou, in Wancheng was not entirely due to her beauty.
Zhang Xiu inherited Wancheng and 20,000 Xiliang troops because his uncle Zhang Ji died without a son.
As Zhang Xiu's nephew, he inherited the estate left by Zhang Ji.
Cao Cao valued the fighting prowess of the 20,000 Xiliang soldiers and wanted to recruit them into his service.
To put it bluntly, Cao Cao didn't trust Zhang Xiu.
But... if he accepts Lady Zou, wouldn't the 20,000 Xiliang soldiers be even more loyal to him?
then.
Driven by alcohol and lust, Cao Cao set his sights on Lady Zou.
Unfortunately, before he could succeed, Zhang Xiu couldn't resist any longer!
I, your humble servant, have offered my allegiance to you, and you still want to be my uncle?
Do you really think I have no temper?
This is the real reason why Zhang Xiu rebelled.
Cao Cao was far too impatient.
Zhang Xiu had just surrendered, and the people's hearts were unsettled. Yet he wanted to ride roughshod over Zhang Xiu. Who could tolerate that?
And this moment.
Cheng Yu's suggestion was for Cao Cao to take Han Dai as a concubine in order to appease Pan Feng and the two thousand soldiers from Ji Province.
After listening to Cheng Yu's analysis, Cao Cao fell into deep thought.
He thought about it over and over, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was inappropriate.
The age gap between Han Dai and her is too large.
We don't yet know Han Dai and Pan Feng's attitudes towards this matter.
What if Han Dai is unhappy when she hears that Cao Cao is in his thirties, almost forty?
Su Yu, who was standing to the side, yawned.
Ever since Cheng Yu arrived, he's been working like a model worker every day.
Su Yu really liked Cheng Yu, who was the kind of person who knew how to find work to do on his own!
Why not give Su Yu time to spend every day flirting with Cai Zhaoji and traveling around? Wouldn't that be better?
however.
Su Yu's yawn attracted Cao Cao's attention.
Cao Cao turned his head and said:
"Ziyi, are you willing to sacrifice yourself for me, Cao?"
Su Yu was taken aback, then cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, please speak freely." (I'm unwilling to make a sacrifice if the terms can't be negotiated.)
A slight smile appeared on Cao Cao's lips. (You've been tricked!)
"Ziyi, I've heard that Han Dai is a famous beauty in Jizhou, and also the daughter of Han Fu."
"Why don't you take Han Dai as your concubine?"
"Anyway, Pan Feng and you have a good relationship, so he probably won't object."
"Age-wise, the two of you aren't that far apart."
"Aren't they a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman?"
Cao Cao said "take" (纳), not "marry" (娶).
As for the position of Su Yu's principal wife, it will definitely be reserved for Cai Zhaoji.
Why?
Because Cai Zhaoji's father was Cai Yong, and her junior brother was Cao Cao!
This is definitely someone with connections.
In addition, the Cai family is a truly prestigious family.
In Cao Cao's eyes, only someone with such a status was worthy of being Su Yu's principal wife.
As for Han Dai, although her status was not low.
But that depends on who you're comparing yourself to!
If Han Fu hadn't died and Ji Province hadn't been lost, Han Dai would naturally have been qualified to be Su Yu's principal wife.
But now, Han Dai's only bargaining chips are Pan Feng and two thousand Jizhou soldiers.
Giving Pan Feng the status of a concubine to reassure Pan Feng and the soldiers of Ji Province is already quite generous.
In Cao Cao's opinion, Su Yu was the second most handsome man in the world besides himself!
Su Yu is good enough for any woman!
