Chapter 1149 Slow work and careful work
Seeing that He Yong was criticized by Zhu Jun, Zhang Miao did not dare to agree or object, nor did he dare to laugh like Sun Ce. He could only look at his nose, his nose, his mouth, and his heart, and act as an old monk's internship. Seeing this, Sun Ce bowed to Zhu Jun. "Mr. Zhu, you chat slowly, I will say a few words to Zhang Mengzhuo."
Zhu Jun nodded and agreed. Zhang Miao couldn't ask for anything. He quickly got up and followed Sun Ce to the side. After leaving Zhu Jun and He Yong's sight, Zhang Miao's waist straightened and his stomach also thrust. Sun Ce glanced at him and chuckled. Zhang Miao looked at him, couldn't help but breathe, and quickly took back his just raised belly.
The two walked side by side, walked out of the yard, and slowly moved forward along the path by the lake. The sun was shining brightly, and the cicadas in the shade were shouting desperately. Several children raised their heads, held their poles, stared at their dark and bright eyes, and searched around in the sound. Zhang Miao glanced at them and found that the one holding the poles was Sun Ce's third brother Sun Yi. Among the children who were following him was Cao Cao's daughter Cao Ying. Cao Ying was much tanned, but he became stronger and taller. She stared at the treetops, holding a small cage of straw in her hand, and did not notice Zhang Miao at all.
Some other children saw Sun Ce and started chattering. Cao Ying turned around and saw Zhang Miao looking at her. He suddenly woke up. He threw down the cage in his hand, covered his face, turned around and ran away. Seeing this, Sun Yi picked up the cage and chased after him, and the other children also dispersed.
Zhang Miao was very embarrassed. "It looks...I'm very annoying."
Sun Ce smiled, but did not take on Zhang Miao's topic, but mentioned another thing. "Cao Mengde got Yizhou and wanted to marry Liu Yan's daughter-in-law." He smacked his lips. "My business has been ruined."
"Then you let us go." Zhang Miao glanced at Sun Ce sideways.
"You can leave at any time." Sun Ce smiled and said, "As long as you want."
Zhang Miao hesitated for a moment. "Forget it, I'd better live here for a few more months. It's not too late to leave when you decide the winner. It's just that it's too uncomfortable to be stuck in the yard every day. Can you give me some time to let the air? We don't have high requirements, just like this, just walk a few steps by the lake."
"Yes." Sun Ce nodded and agreed. After hundreds of Rangers were arrested, the climax of rescuing He Yong and Zhang Miao had passed, and they could go out for a walk. "Do you know whose daughter Liu Yan's daughter-in-law is?"
Zhang Miao was in a good mood and his tone became relaxed. "Whose family matters? Cao Mengde is a lustful person. The door is not important, as long as he has a beauty, it doesn't matter. Isn't that what Na Bian was like? As long as he is beautiful, it doesn't matter even if he is promoted." Zhang Miao thought for a while and suddenly laughed: "That year, he was only twenty-four years old and had a wife and a concubine." While saying that, he turned his head to look at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce knew it well and said angrily: "What do you think I'm doing?"
"I think you have some connections." Zhang Miao held back his smile, looking disrespectful. "Cao Mengde was also attracted to Yin at the beginning, but he didn't dare to mess with the general, so he had to hide these things in his heart."
Sun Ce was a little surprised. Yin Wei returned to Cao Cao in history and gave birth to a son for him. It turns out that there is such a story.
Seeing that Sun Ce did not speak, Zhang Miao thought he had made up his words and quickly changed the topic. "Whose woman did Cao Mengde marry?"
"Wu Kuang's servant girl."
"Wu Zhao?" Zhang Miao was shocked, his eyes flashed, and he said nothing. He looked at the direction where Cao Ying was going away, and after a while, he sighed. "Although the Chenliu Wu family's door is not as good as the Ding family, he has a good reputation. If he had not been in a foreign land, how could he be so aggrieved and begged for the sake of all."
"I don't think so." Sun Ce stopped, held his hands behind his back, and looked at the wavy water surface, and felt a little heavy. History has turned a big turn. Is it a good or a bad thing? It's hard to say now. Liu Bei returned to Youzhou and took advantage of the gap, which has already made him a headache. Cao Cao occupied Yizhou again and married Wu, which is more troublesome than Liu Bei in Youzhou. In terms of ability, Cao Cao was much stronger than Liu Bei, not to mention that he had a Xi Zhicai around him. If he only had talent in Yizhou, it would be difficult for Zhou Yu to conquer Yizhou in the future, and the road to unifying the world may become long.
"Do you think of Cao Mengde?" Zhang Miao seemed to smile.
Sun Ce did not answer Zhang Miao's question. Historical books record that Zhang Miao and Cao Cao had a very good relationship, but now it seems that there is probably some moisture here. Even if the relationship is good, it is an equal relationship. It can even be said that Zhang Miao has more psychological advantages. Cao Cao did not become a thousand-mile horse as the history books said. However, Cao Cao later became Emperor Wu of Wei, so he needed some men to decorate his storefront.
"How much do you know about Wu Zhao?"
Zhang Miao's eyes moved for a while, pondered for a while before saying, "I heard that some people say that her fate is precious."
"Do you believe it?"
Zhang Miao smiled without answering.
"Then have you heard of the fate of Bian's family?"
"Bian? That advocating girl?"
"Um."
Zhang Miao shook his head. "I have never heard of a woman who has a great fortune. However, after she married Cao Mengde, she was almost once every two years, and her two daughters died, but her sons all survived. If this is also considered a fate, she is indeed much better than Mrs. Ding. Moreover, this woman is born in a humble and very scheming. Compared with her, Mrs. Ding is like a child."
Sun Ce's heart moved. It's not new to Mrs. Bian's scheming, but there are already some clues in history books. Some people have written articles about this, saying that the Wancheng Incident was planned by her to get rid of Cao Ang, and she said it was very clear. Now Zhang Miao also said that Mrs. Bian had scheming, which seemed to be reliable. As for Wu Zhao, she married Liu Mao first and then Liu Bei, but she had no children, but she married Liu Mao for a short time and was too late to marry Liu Bei, so she might not be able to have children. If she could get Mrs. Bian to Yizhou, could she play a role?
Seeing that Sun Ce did not speak, his eyes turned around. Zhang Miao was uneasy. He didn't know what words touched Sun Ce and what trouble would bring to Cao Cao. He regretted it for a while.
Feeling Zhang Miao's uneasiness, Sun Ce chuckled, temporarily putting down his thoughts on how to stumbling Cao Cao and changing the topic. "Ask you a serious matter, Huang Wan took over as the Grand Marshal and replaced Zhu Gong to take charge of Luoyang. What kind of person is he? Will he attack Chenliu?"
"Huang Wan?" Zhang Miao's face changed drastically. After a moment, he sighed: "So, Yuan Benchu is planning to fight to the death with the general. General, you have to be careful."
"Why? He is very skilled in using troops?"
Zhang Miao blinked his eyes and wanted to speak a few times but stopped. Sun Ce was not in a hurry and looked at Zhang Miao with a smile. He knew that Zhang Miao might not look down on him, but Zhang Miao definitely did not want Yuan Shao to win. If Yuan Shao captured Yanzhou, it would definitely not be good news for Zhang Miao. Maintaining the current situation is the most beneficial to them. In this case, when Yuan Shao is in great power, Zhang Miao may choose to support him and ensure that the balance can continue.
The Zhang Miao brothers were self-reliant and might not be willing to bow their heads easily. They needed to beat them slowly and work hard little by little.
After a long time, Zhang Miao made a difficult decision. "Huang Wan is not only capable, but also has both civil and military skills. She was also a governor of Yuzhou a few years ago and is very familiar with the situation in Yuzhou. He has many disciples and old officials, and now some people should be in Yuzhou. If Yuan Benchu's influence in Yuzhou is just a trend, Huang Wan's influence in Yuzhou is real."
Sun Ce smiled. "Can you make a list for me?"
