Mao Jie was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Deng to make such a condition.

As the person involved, Liu Wu's eyes also changed slightly.

But soon, Liu Wu understood Chen Deng's deep meaning.

If Cao Cao married his daughter, it would be tantamount to showing the people of the world his sincerity in forming an alliance with him by way of marriage.

"This Chen Deng thinks safely..."

Liu Wu sighed secretly, and said to Mao Jie: "Mao Jie should have understood Yuanlong's conditions, and this is also the meaning of this government, please go back and tell Cao Gong."

Only then did Mao Jie come to his senses, and had no choice but to leave.

As soon as he walked away, Zhang Fei, who had been holding back all the time, jumped up and shouted: "The Cao thief is a Han thief, and you are a member of the Liu family. How can you marry a Han thief? Wouldn't it damage your reputation? !"

Chen Deng wanted to explain to Liu Wu, but seeing Zhang Fei's angry look, he had no choice but to give up and looked at Liu Wu.

"Yide, I want to ask you, when Chang'an was in chaos and the emperor moved eastward, who welcomed the emperor?"

Liu Wu asked calmly.

Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Of course it's Cao Cao."

Liu Wu nodded slightly, and asked again: "Brother, I'll ask you again, did Bandit Cao learn from Yuan Shu and try to usurp the throne?"

"Not...not yet."

Zhang Fei said dryly.

"The emperor is dusty, and the princes of the world turn a blind eye. Only Cao Mengde welcomes the emperor, allowing the emperor and the Han court to restore their dignity."

"Although Cao Cao controls the power of Xudu, everyone knows that the will of the emperor came from Cao Cao's mouth, but after all, he has never usurped the Han to stand on his own, and still regards himself as the great Han Sikong."

"For such a person, it seems unfair for you to call him a traitor."

Liu Wu talked about the matter, but he said a few fair words for Cao Cao.

Zhang Fei's anger was suppressed, and he muttered: "Although he has not usurped the Han now, who can guarantee that if he wipes out all the heroes in the future and won't try to usurp the throne after he dominates the world, isn't he still a Han thief?"

"The future is the future, and the present is the present."

Liu Wu said indifferently: "At least for now, Cao Cao is still a Han official, so what's wrong with marrying a Han official as an elder brother?"

Zhang Fei was speechless.

After being stunned for a while, Zhang Fei gradually turned the corner, scratched his head and muttered, "Brother, what you said seems to make sense..."

Zhang Fei was persuaded.

The rest of Zhao Yun and other generals and counselors naturally had no objection.

"I was worried that my lord would refute my proposal because of my reputation. I didn't expect my lord to be so flexible. It's really impressive..."

Chen Deng heaved a sigh of relief and admired secretly.

Liu Wu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Let's continue drinking our wine, and leave the headaches to Cao Mengde."

Outside the city, Cao Ying.

Cao Cao paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, silent.

Suddenly, Tiger Guard came to report that Mao Jie had returned from his envoy.

"Quick pass!"

Cao Cao's eyes lit up, and he took a few steps back to his seat.

Mao Jie entered and bowed to salute.

"Filial piety first exempts courtesy."

Cao Cao waved his hands and asked, "What, what is Liu Xuande's intention for the alliance?"

"Reporting to Sikong, Liu Xuande is willing to form an alliance with Sikong to deal with the Yuan brothers together, and also accepted Sikong's reward."

Mao Jie clapped his hands and replied.

Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Sure enough, as expected, this government knows that today's Liu Bei has the vision of a hero, and he must be able to see that forming an alliance with this government is his wisest choice."

"This Liu Xuande's pattern is indeed far better than before."

Guo Jia also praised with a smile, and then said: "In this way, Sikong will be able to withdraw from Xuzhou, first deal with Zhangxiu in Wancheng, eliminate hidden dangers in Xudu, and then prepare for the decisive battle with Yuan Shao!"

Cao Cao thought so, and smiled in relief.

"Sikong, then Liu Bei agreed to form an alliance, but he also put forward a condition."

Mao Jie added another sentence.

"condition?"

Cao Cao frowned: "The government recognizes him as Xuzhou Mu, and confers him the title of Zhendong General and Peihou. Isn't he satisfied with such rewards?"

Mao Jie coughed a few times, and Fang said: "Then Liu Xuande said that he wants to form a good relationship with Sikong, and if Sikong is willing to betroth Miss Cao Jie to him to show Sikong's sincerity, he will marry Sikong."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the tent.

"This Liu Bei dares to covet Jie'er's niece, it's really deceiving!"

Cao Ren jumped up and cursed angrily.

Cao Cao's face also became gloomy, with displeasure flickering between his brows.

"Sikong, now that Liu Bei is weak and Sikong is strong, he wants to use marriage to ensure the sincerity of Sikong's alliance. It is understandable to speak from the perspective of the weak."

"Then Liu Bei is a family member of the Han family, and a hero who dominates a state, and is famous all over the world. Miss can marry such a person, and she is worthy of her status as the daughter of the big man Sikong."

"Jia believes that, for both public and private matters, Sikong agrees to this marriage, so there may not be any loss."

Guo Jia, however, eloquently analyzed the pros and cons.

Cao Cao was thoughtful, but remained silent.

After a long time.

Cao Cao sighed: "What Feng Xiao said is not unreasonable, it's just that our government has loved Jie'er since childhood, and Liu Bei is nearly forty years old, and this government will marry Jie'er to him. I really feel sorry for her."

"Compared to Miss, Liu Bei's age is indeed too much older, but as the daughter of the lord, I feel helpless, and Miss is destined to bear the burden."

Guo Jia sighed meaningfully.

Cao Cao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly realized.

After pondering for a while, Cao Cao then said: "Tell Liu Bei, I agree to this marriage, and I will announce this marriage contract to the world, so that he can rest assured that when Liu Bei captures Shouchun, I will send my daughter to him. day!"

In Xiaopei City, Mao Jie went and returned, bringing back Cao Cao's reply.

"Cao Cao, what does this mean? If you marry, you can marry a daughter. Why do you have to make a marriage contract first, and you have to take Shouchun before you send your daughter?"

Zhang Fei yelled dissatisfied.

Liu Wu said with a sneer: "Our Mr. Cao is very shrewd. He is afraid that I will regret taking her daughter. He wants me to help him destroy Yuan Shu first. After I have shown my sincerity, I will give her to her."

"If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be Cao Cao."

"However, Yuan Shu is our confidant, even if there is no condition given by Cao Cao, the lord must be destroyed."

"As long as Cao Cao announces the marriage contract to the world, even if he has shown his sincerity in forming an alliance, it doesn't matter when that Miss Cao sent it."

Chen Deng analyzed with a smile.

"Yuanlong is right."

Liu Wu nodded slightly, and said happily: "I will follow Cao Mengde's conditions, first make a marriage contract, and let the world know."

Therefore, the envoys of the two parties communicated and jointly concluded the marriage contract.

When Cao Cao announced the marriage contract to the world, Xu Du's envoy also came to Peicheng according to the emperor's will, and announced various appointments and rewards to Liu Wu.

The news of Cao Liu's marriage and alliance soon spread to the north and south of the river, and to the ears of the princes of the four directions.
