    But thinking about it on the other hand, Tao Qian is already in his twilight years, suffering from chronic illness, and may pass away at any time.  Death is like a lamp going out, and the only thing you worry about most is your wife and children. In the face of life and death, any king's plans, any fame and wealth are just a passing cloud.  If the two sons are protected by Ma Chao, even if they cannot dominate the world, they can still be wealthy and have no worries about food and clothing. It is a clear path.  After pondering for a long time, Tao Qian said: "Thanks to the general's care, how can Qian not appreciate it? As long as the dog has no objections, everything will be done according to the general's wishes!" Ma Chao smiled slightly, stroking his hands and said: "That's great! Now the imperial court  With the situation weakening, the local princes have separated from the imperial court and established themselves. The general was ordered by the late emperor to restore the Han Dynasty. Sooner or later, he would send troops to pacify the princes. He would not tolerate the ambitious people who resisted. A few days ago, the general ordered his subordinates.  General Pang De led an army of 50,000 to attack Hanzhong, and Mu Han of Liangzhou also sent an army of 50,000 to attack Mianzhu. Liu Yan claimed to be the emperor, and he was determined to annihilate him in one fell swoop. In the future, I think Tao Shijun will feel deeply about today's decision.  "Rejoice!" Tao Qian even said yes, feeling relieved. The purpose of Ma Chao's troops was to regain Xuzhou. Anyway, he was also about to die. It didn't matter who was responsible for this mess. What mattered was the two of them.  The future of his son and the future of the people of Xuzhou.  Ma Chao is also very satisfied with this. Xuzhou is a prosperous place in the world and is far from comparable to Qingzhou. Although Xuzhou has only been recovered in name, a lot of work needs to be done to truly capture Xuzhou.  First of all, we must win over local officials and win over the people of Xuzhou. Secondly, we must completely eradicate the two cancers of Liu Bei and Zang Ba.  If Xuzhou is established, Xuzhou can be used as a base to capture Yanzhou and the Jianghuai area.  Directly threatening Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.  After chatting for a while, Ma Chao looked at Mi Zhu, clasped his fists and asked: "In the past, the Japanese general asked Tao Shijun for something, and Tao Shijun agreed happily. After three years of separation, today the Japanese general brought up the old matter again. I don't know.  Tao Shijun" Tao Qian's face was full of embarrassment. How could he forget this?  But the Mi family in Xuzhou has two sons and one daughter, the eldest son Mi Zhu, the second son Mi Fang, and the youngest sister.  When the parents are away, the eldest brother is the father.  The Mi brothers did not express their opinions.  It was difficult for him to reply to Ma Chao, so the matter was delayed for three years.  Tao Qian did not feel comfortable saying that the Mi family did not agree with this matter, so he clasped his fists and said: "My brother's matter. Qian never dares to forget it. He has mentioned it many times in the past. But he has never received a reply. Today Mi is here, General."  You might as well ask yourself!" Ma Chao nodded.  Ma Dai was only half a year younger than him, and they were born in the same year. He already had so many wives, and he was too embarrassed to let Ma Dai continue to be a bachelor.  Mrs. Mi of the Mi family was a good match for Ma Dai. In history, Liu Bei was captured by Lu Bu in Xuzhou, and Mrs. Gan fell into Lu Bu's hands.  Seeing that Liu Bei was very sad, Mi Zhu married his sister to Liu Bei as his wife. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Gan returned safely later, and Mrs. Mi also changed from his wife to his concubine.  Later, Liu Bei was driven out of Xuzhou by Cao Cao and defeated Changbanpo. While fleeing, Mrs. Mi was captured by Cao's army. Cao Cao took her to Xuchang. Her whereabouts are unknown since then. It is very likely that she was taken in by Cao Cao or given to her.  A certain general.  Based on this calculation, Mi Zhen's age at this moment is only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She must not be too old. You must know that in ancient times, women could get married at the age of fourteen.  In addition, as long as Mi Zhen marries into the Ma family, the Mi family will be tied to the Ma family's chariot and will no longer be able to fully support Liu Bei.  Historically, the Mi family brothers were extremely miserable. Not only did Liu Bei completely destroy their huge family fortune, even Mi Zhen was captured by Cao Cao.  The Mi brothers did not get much benefit. Later, because Mi Fang was despised by Guan Yu, she defected to Soochow in anger, causing Guan Yu to be defeated and killed.  Although Mi Zhu met a happy end in Liu Bei's hands, he had no power and power in his hands, just a name.  At that moment, he bowed his hands to Mi Zhu and said, "The Mi family has been doing business for generations and is a famous family in Xuzhou. I admire you very much! I heard that there is a girl in the Mi family named Mi Zhen. She has a virtuous temperament and dignified appearance. I want to personally do it for you."  My cousin Ma Dai protects the matchmaker, I wonder if Mi Biejia can give him face? " Mi Zhu looked embarrassed, clasped his fists and said in return: "Two years ago, Governor Tao also mentioned this matter. The Ma family is a famous family in the world and a duke for generations. If  It is natural for the Mi family to think highly of their little sister. However, there is something unspeakable at the moment and they dare not respond. Why don¡¯t you blame me, General?" Ma Chao frowned and asked, "Is it possible that your sister has already married someone else?  Or is my cousin Ma Dai not worthy of your sister's peerless beauty?" Mi Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "The general is too modest. How dare I despise General Ma Dai because my sister-in-law Pu Liu is so beautiful?  People also neglected discipline, which resulted in the younger sister being naughty and acting eccentricly, insisting on choosing a son-in-law on her own. She once said that she would not marry someone who was not a great hero in the world, but the younger sister did not agree to the marriage. I am the elder brother.  There's nothing we can do!" "So it's me who's being rude!" Ma Chao sneered in his heart. Since the Mi brothers don't know how to praise them, it's necessary to deal with them.  Now all the major crossings of the Yellow River are under my control.Now, just one word can bring about the collapse of your Mi family's business in the north, and also make the Wei family, Zhen family and other business people unite to attack your Mi family.  And aren¡¯t you optimistic about Liu Bei?  I will send troops to annihilate Liu Bei immediately. By then you will be cornered and have to offer your sister over to you.  Mi Zhu apologized and said: "It's my little sister who doesn't know how to praise me. Please don't blame me, General!" Ma Chao has long been trained to the point where he can't express his joy and anger. He smiled and said: "It's easy to say! It's easy to say. Why should a man worry about not having a wife? I think it's my brother and Mi Zhu.  Miss, I'm not lucky!" Tao Qian was also embarrassed. With his decades of experience, how could he not know that Ma Chao was unhappy?  Interjected: "It's all the old man's fault for delaying General Ma Dai's life-long event. Don't blame me, general! In order to make up for his fault, the old man chose another good marriage. I just don't know whether the general is satisfied!" Ma Chao didn't know what Tao Qian was selling.  What kind of medicine did he want? He asked tentatively: "Please ask Governor Tao to give it a try. I will listen attentively!" Tao Qian said: "I, Cao Bao, a soldier in Xuzhou, have a daughter, Cao Ying, who has been given the gift of a hairpin. She is both talented and beautiful, and has good character.  They are dignified in nature, and the Cao family is also a prominent local family in Xuzhou, and they are well matched with General Ma!" Ma Chao nodded, and he was convinced that the Cao family, the Chen family, and the Mi family were known as the three major families in Xuzhou, and they were all highly regarded by Tao Qian!  .  This is one of the reasons why Tao Qian was able to gain a foothold in Xuzhou in a short period of time.  Xuzhou has always had no shortage of famous generals. Many generals in history came from Xuzhou, such as Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Xu Sheng, Lu Dai, etc. However, they have one thing in common, that is, they all came from poor families.  However, Tao Qian liked the rich and disliked the poor, and looked down on people from poor families, so all the handsome and talented people fled to other places.  On the contrary, people from aristocratic families such as Cao Bao, Cao Hong, Chen Sui, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang were deeply trusted by Tao Qian. This was one of the main reasons for the decline of talents under Tao Qian's command.  The Cao family may not be as famous as the Mi family, but Cao Bao controls part of the military power in Xuzhou. Historically, it was because of Cao Bao's betrayal that Lu Bu was able to capture Xuzhou from Liu Bei.  It is said that a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. If he marries with the Cao family, it will play an immeasurable role in controlling Xuzhou. In the short term, the benefits will be greater than marrying with the Mi family.  Cao Bao's daughter was supposed to be married to Lu Bu as a concubine. Since she could be favored by Lu Bu, her beauty was definitely not bad, so it was considered an advantage for Ma Dai.  The only shortcoming is that Cao Ying died young and died of illness a few years after marrying Lu Bu. I hope she didn't get the kind of disease that even Zhang Zhongjing couldn't cure!  When Tao Qian said these words, Cao Bao was at the banquet, and his face was full of expectations when he heard the words.  For him, marrying his daughter to Ma Dai is a great joy. Ma Dai is Ma Chao's cousin and plays a pivotal role in the Ma Chao Group.  If Ma Chao wins the world, Ma Dai, Ma Xiu, and Ma Tie will be able to claim the throne at the very least. By then, his daughter will be the princess. With this nepotism, it will only be a matter of time for the Cao family to flourish.  After thinking for a while, Ma Chao said: "Since Tao Shijun personally protects the matchmaker, I will take my cousin to accept this marriage, but I wonder if General Cao will agree?" Cao Bao was ecstatic, clasped his fists and said: "How can my little girl marry Ma Dai?  The general's marriage was a blessing she had received in her previous life. How could she not deserve it?" Ma Chao laughed and said, "Thank you so much, General Cao, so I'll trouble Tao Shijun to be the matchmaker. My brother is now leading the army.  After conquering Liu Yan in Shu, he set an auspicious date and personally came to marry Miss Cao as his wife! " Tao Qian also breathed a sigh of relief. He deliberately let the Cao family marry the Ma family, and also wanted to sell Ma Chao a favor to pave the way for his son!  , clasped his fists and said: "How dare you disobey me!" Ma Chao was very satisfied with this. As long as two of the three major families can be brought together, the remaining Mi family will not be able to make much trouble, and now there is only one Chen family left.  The Chen family is full of talents. First of all, there is Chen Sui, a famous figure in the world. His ancestor was once the prefect of Guangling. His sons Chen Deng and Chen Ying are both great talents in the world.  Historically, the Chen family and his son supported Liu Bei, and later Lu Bu captured Xuzhou and led Xuzhou as its own pastor.  The Chen family father and son ostensibly submitted to Lu Bu, but in fact they were always trying to get rid of Lu Bu.  The two first designed to destroy the marriage between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, causing the two to turn against each other. This move greatly weakened Lu Bu's power.  Then Chen Deng took the initiative to join Cao Cao and offered strategies to break Lu. ?? And Chen Deng and Chen Yuanlong are even more rare talents. They are proficient in agriculture and have made achievements in all aspects.  According to historical records, Chen Deng was a cheerful man with a calm personality and extraordinary resourcefulness. When he was young, he had the ambition to help the world and the people, and he was well-read and knowledgeable.  At the age of twenty-five, he was appointed as the magistrate of Dongyang County.  Although he is young, he is able to understand the sentiments of the people, care for the weak and raise orphans, and is deeply respected by the people.  Later, Tao Qian promoted him to the rank of Dian Nong Xiaowei, in charge of agricultural production in a state.  He personally inspected the soil conditions in Xuzhou, developed water conservancy, and developed farmland irrigation, which restored Xuzhou's agriculture, which had been repeatedly destroyed in the late Han Dynasty, to a certain extent, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.  People depend on food, and cultivating the land is undoubtedly the top priority. If Chen Deng helps, the agricultural production level of the people under the rule will definitely reach a new level.  (To be continued)
