After hearing Diao Chan's words, Yuan Shang couldn't help but close his eyes and began to think deeply when he heard this.

Diao Chan smiled and said, "Son-in-law, although Mrs. Bian is Cao Cao's wife, she is virtuous by nature and knows how to advance and retreat. At present, he is also the best in raising children. Cao Cao's sons, Cao Pi, Cao Zhang, Cao Zhi and others, are all raised by Bian. However, she is pure and kind-hearted and not easy to fight. She is extremely majestic in the minds of several sons. If the son-in-law can speak Bian, she will persuade Cao to surrender, and she will achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

After thinking about it carefully, Yuan Shang couldn't help but nodded secretly and admitted that Diao Chan's words were indeed reasonable. As soon as he met, this famous concubine in history gave him such a big trick, Yuan Shang couldn't help but be grateful.

However, he then thought of another question.

"Although my aunt's idea is good, unfortunately, I don't know Mrs. Bian. Among my subordinates, no one has ever had any contact with the concubines of the Cao family... Even if I can send someone to Xuchang City, I have to go online..."

Diao Chan smiled and said, "Since I can give this idea for my son-in-law, I will naturally be able to help my son-in-law. The three of us have lived in Xuchang for many years. Although they are widows of enemy prisoners, they also lead the support in Xuchang City on weekdays. Mrs. Bian, as Cao Cao's wife, will condescend to visit us lonely and widows during festivals. After a while, although not a close friend, she is also familiar. As long as the son-in-law can send me secretly back to Xuchang City and send capable people to obey my orders and let me see Mrs. Bian, I promise to persuade her for you!"

When Yuan Shang heard this, he touched his chin and did not speak, but subconsciously turned his head to look at the other two mother-in-law.

Cao did not say anything. Instead, Yan nodded and said, "Sister Xiu'er said it well. This is indeed true. Mrs. Bian has taken good care of us on weekdays and has not had a deep friendship. But she also meets several times every year."

Yuan Shang pondered for a while when he heard this, then suddenly looked up and ordered the person outside the tent.

"Go and call Sima Yi and Zhang Liao for me."

The three ladies were fine when they heard Sima Yi's name. When they heard it, Zhang Liao couldn't help but tremble slightly.

When he was young, he saw Sima Yi and Zhang Liao coming in together. As soon as he entered the tent, Zhang Liao saw the three wives, and couldn't help but tighten his face, kneeled on one knee, bowed and said, "I have seen the three mistresses!"

When they saw Zhang Liao, the three women couldn't help but feel deeply moved on their faces.

Yan stepped forward, raised his hand to support Zhang Liao, and said with a strong look of gratitude, "General Zhang, you didn't expect you to be here too? Alas~~. Over the years, if General Zhang had not been in Xuchang and tried his best to protect us, it is still unknown whether my three sisters could survive until now... I heard that General Zhang went to war and never returned. We thought that General Ma Ge returned the body and died in the battlefield. In this heart... Alas, if you don't say those despicable words, I would never expect that we would meet here today!"

When Cao saw Zhang Liao, he was also very happy and said, "General Zhang, why are you here too?"

Cao's words made Zhang Liao's face turn red, but Yuan Shang smiled and said, "General Zhang has abandoned the secret and turned to the light and surrendered to me... He Lingqi's tent and serves the descendants of Wen Hou again. What do the three ladies think?"

When Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and nodded, "This is the best!"

Yuan Shang smiled and turned his head to the two of them, saying, "I came to you two for one thing. I, the Empress, want to secretly sneak back to Xuchang and persuade Cao Zhi to return to Yuan for me. I have been thinking about it. One of you is an old minister of the Cao family, and the other has been to Xuchang for me as an envoy to ask for an official position in Xuchang. We are familiar with it. Therefore, I want to ask you two to protect the safety of your aunt for me, and listen to her arrangements, or deal with urgent matters. What do you think?"

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said, "It depends on the order of the lord and his wife!"

Diao Chan also smiled and said, "It's time for General Zhang and Mr. Sima."

Although Diao Chan is not too young, her smile is still fascinating, full of maturity and charm.

Zhang Liao had known Diao Chan for a long time, but nothing was wrong. Sima Yi was stunned by the laughter, with a blushing face and thick neck, and his mouth was dry and his tongue was dry, and he was stuttering when he spoke.

"Is this your mother-in-law?"

Yuan Shang raised his eyebrows after hearing this: "What, can't you?"

"How could she be your mother-in-law... It's a pity."

Others didn't understand what this meant, but Yuan Shang knew best what he was.

A little feminine look popped up in his eyes, Yuan Shang grinned and said, "What do you mean by your boy?"

Seeing this, Sima Yi was shocked and quickly returned to his words.

"I mean, it would be great if I had such a mother-in-law!"

“…………”

After roughly setting the matter, Yuan Shang immediately sent someone to send the three mother-in-law back to the tent to rest. As soon as he came out of the handsome tent, Yan hurriedly said to Diao Chan: "Sister, we finally escaped from Xuchang and got freedom. Why did you volunteer to go back to that place? It would be better if nothing happened? If you really have a few mistakes, how can you let me be a sister feel at ease?"

Cao also nodded and said, "That's right, we are women, why bother with military affairs between their men?"

Diao Chan sighed and said, "Two sisters, I don't want to do this either. It's just out of helplessness. I heard that Lingqi and our son-in-law are friends of hardships and misfortunes and are married to good fortune. Although such a couple is good, Yuan Shang is the overlord of the world and the lords of the world. After all, we are relying on others now. What's more, in order to save us this time, even Lingqi fell into it. How much trouble did it cause him? Although he didn't say it,

There is no grudge in my heart. If we show it very useless now, to be honest, we can only let it go. Compared with other wives in the future, Lingqi will probably have no status. Instead, it is better to make some great contributions by using methods to help Lingqi consolidate her position in his husband's heart. This will also be beneficial to our later years... In short, we first came to Yuanying, and although we were a woman, we could not make Yuan Shang think we were useless and underestimate our Lu family."

When Yan and Cao heard this, they suddenly realized.

After a long time, Yan lowered his head, sighed helplessly, and said, "It is really not easy for women in troubled times to live..."

************************************

After a while of rest, Yuan Shang asked Zhang Liao and Sima Yi to lead elite subordinates to protect Diao Chan secretly to Xuchang to persuade Bian, while personally ordering all the troops and horses, turning north, heading straight for Guandu, and meeting with Yuan Xi's main force.

This move was completely beyond everyone's expectations, but the monarch's words were as heavy as the Nine Cauldrons. Even though they were confused, they did not dare to disobey under Yuan Shang's military order.

In this way, all the Yuan army in the southern expedition gathered in Guandu Lane on the front of Xuchang, waiting for Yuan Shang to issue the final military order.

When they arrived at Guandu, Yuan Xi, Tian Feng, Ju Su and others led the mighty generals of the Yuan army to greet him. They all separated for several months. They were naturally very happy when they met, and they were inevitably polite. After some greetings, they brought the topic to the topic.

"Third brother, you have occupied Xuzhou and have already attacked the right wing of Cao's army. If you take Xuchang directly, you will form a junction with the main force and attack on both sides. Cao's army will be defeated and settled. Why do you come to have peace with us?" Yuan Xi asked Yuan Shang curiously.

"Because..." Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "For the reputation of our Yuan family, I must here to end everything between the Yuan and Cao family! Second brother, for you and me, everything originated from Guandu, and today, it will finally be Guandu. It plays a crucial role in our army, our army's position in the hearts of the princes in the world, and our Yuan family's reputation!"

Ju Su smiled and said, "I never thought that the lord was a person who cares about fame. I didn't expect that today, I was cautious and stingy to make a name for myself. At the beginning of Guandu and the end of Guandu, do you want to leave a strong mark in history books?"

Yuan Shang nodded and smiled, "I didn't pay attention to my reputation before, because it was forced by facts or I was not sure. But now I have absolutely certainty that I can defeat Cao Zhi. Why not add icing on the cake and earn the biggest name for Yuan's family?"

Tian Feng touched his beard while sighing: "In a flash, it's almost ten years!"

Ju Su also sighed: "Yes, over the past ten years, Yuan and Cao have been in constant conflict. In the Battle of Guandu, the leaders were the first lord and Cao Cao. Today, the back waves of the Yangtze River push forward the previous waves, and the first lord and Cao Cao both died. The people who left behind were Cao Zhi and Hebei's current talented lords. Looking back on the past, it really makes people feel a lot!"

Yuan Xi stood up, walked around the tent several times, and suddenly turned around and asked Yuan Shang: "Third brother, tell me, how can we fight this last battle?"

Yuan Shang smiled slightly and said, "Just use your strength to overwhelm people, concentrate all your strength and defeat Cao's army. There is no need for any conspiracy in this battle. All our Yuan army's elite troops were dispatched, that's all."

Speaking of this, Yuan Shang thought for a while and asked again: "What are the movements on Cao Zhi?"

Ju Su stood up and said, "Cao Zhi is in Guandu, concentrating all the remaining generals and troops of the Cao army to build a earthen city, deep ditches and high bases, as if waiting for our decisive battle!"

"Okay!" Yuan Shang nodded and said, "I'll order the three armies to make dinner at the third day of tomorrow, and raise an army at the fifth day of tomorrow, and attack Guandu with all their might. If the battle of Guandu is won, the north will be settled!"
