Chapter 109 Su Yu is about to get married! Cai Zhaoji persuades Han Dai
Why did Taishi Ci travel south to Yanzhou?
This is naturally thanks to the intelligence guards.
The intelligence officer informed Su Yu that Taishi Ci had broken out of Linzi alone to seek reinforcements in Pengcheng.
Su Yu acted decisively and wrote a letter to Taishi Ci, inviting him to visit Yanzhou.
Why is Su Yu in such a hurry?
Because he knew that the historical Taishi Ci had received an invitation from Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, to serve Liu Yao shortly after the siege of Linzi was lifted.
Many people's understanding of Taishi Ci is that he was highly skilled in martial arts and could fight Sun Ce to a standstill.
But Su Yu knew that Taishi Ci was not only a military general, but also a scholar with considerable literary talent!
He had many friends, including Gongsun Du, the governor of Liaodong, Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou, and Zheng Xuan, a great Confucian scholar from Youzhou.
Although his status in the literary world could not compare with that of Su Yu's father-in-law, Cai Yong.
However, Taishi Ci still held a place in the literary world at the end of the Han Dynasty.
Otherwise, why would someone as self-righteous as Kong Rong send people to give condolences to Taishi Ci's mother every now and then?
It was precisely because Taishi Ci was doing quite well that Kong Rong did this.
otherwise.
If you replaced Taishi Ci with an ordinary person, do you think Kong Rong would care about him?
In order to persuade Taishi Ci to come to Yanzhou as a guest.
Su Yu also used the name of his father-in-law, Cai Yong, to invite Taishi Ci to discuss scholarship.
That's Cai Yong!
A literary giant in the late Han Dynasty!
How could Taishi Ci dare not come?
Seeing that the siege of Linzi had been lifted, he packed his bags and left overnight.
This resulted in Liu Bei missing his target, and he was in a daze for several days before recovering.

Yanzhou
东郡
After capturing Xiaopei, Cao Cao ordered Cao Ren and Yu Jin to lead 20,000 soldiers to garrison the area.
The remaining main force was taken back to Yanzhou.
As for the Huai River waterway, Cao Cao ordered the five hundred soldiers he had acquired from Sun Jian to garrison it, while also expanding the size of his naval forces.
These five hundred soldiers had ceased to serve Sun Jian as their master ever since Sun Jian handed them over to Cao Cao.
Their only lord was Cao Cao.
Over the past two years, Cao Cao has treated them quite well.
They even introduced wives to unmarried men and widows to men whose wives had passed away.
The five hundred naval soldiers were completely devoted to Cao Cao.
This wave of efforts was truly all-out, aiming to help Cao Cao train his troops and expand the size of Cao Cao's naval forces to three thousand.
Su Yu's Residence
Su Yu is enjoying a massage from Cai Zhaoji.
The wedding date for the two has been set, just a few days from now.
Because Su Yu's parents in this life had already passed away.
Only a few distant relatives from the original family were invited to serve as witnesses at the wedding.
but.
Su Yu didn't actually need to prepare anything; he just needed to wait to win the heart of his beauty.
Cai Yong and Cao Cao had already prepared everything he needed to.
Furthermore.
Madam Ding also helped with some of the arrangements.
Lady Ding was quite pleased with Cao Ang's decision to become Su Yu's apprentice.
Su Yu was not the kind of person who just read books; he would teach Cao Ang by example and impart knowledge that could not necessarily be learned from books.
As Cao Ang's mother (Cao Ang's birth mother died when he was young, and he was adopted by Lady Ding), Lady Ding saw and remembered Cao Ang's progress during this period.
Madam Ding will definitely have to put some effort into Su Yu's marriage.
The only one who felt somewhat disappointed was Han Dai.
Spending so much time with Su Yu led her to develop feelings for him.
Especially at sunset, she particularly enjoyed quietly watching Su Yu as he pondered a problem.
But now, the thought of Su Yu soon belonging to Cai Zhaoji fills Han Dai with an inexplicable sense of unease.
Feeling depressed, Han Dai went to the mountains outside Dongjun County alone and hunted several wild rabbits before she could finally release the pressure in her heart.
But when she returned to Su Yu's residence.
Cai Zhaoji smiled and pulled her aside, saying:
"Sister Dai, do you also like Young Master Su?"
Han Dai blushed instantly when Cai Zhaoji said it so bluntly.
Immediately afterwards, Han Dai stubbornly retorted:
"What did Sister Zhaoji say?"
"Young Master Su is your fiancé, I wouldn't dare to compete with you for him."
Cai Zhaoji could easily detect the sour undertone in Han Dai's words.
But she knew that Han Dai was just that straightforward.
Without the slightest annoyance, she rubbed Han Dai's nose and whispered in his ear:
"Sister Dai, why don't you marry Young Master Su too!"
"When we're out in public, if you'd like to give me face, call me 'sister'."
"Inside, we will treat each other as close friends."
"is it okay?"
Han Dai was startled.
She understood what Cai Zhaoji meant.
Yes, Cai Zhaoji wanted her to marry Su Yu as well.
Although she was nominally a concubine, Cai Zhaoji did not oppress her like a wife would.
Don't say that Cai Zhaoji bullied people by abusing her power.
The fact that she made such a promise to Han Dai was already a huge concession.
First of all, Cai Zhaoji becoming Su Yu's wife was the outcome many people hoped for.
For example, given Cai Yong's status, his daughter certainly couldn't be a concubine.
Cao Cao and Cai Zhaoji were also fellow disciples in terms of seniority, so Cao Cao certainly hoped that Cai Zhaoji would become Su Yu's principal wife, further deepening their relationship.
Needless to say, Lady Ding shared Cao Cao's thoughts.
Cao Ang was the same.
He felt that only a talented woman like Cai Zhaoji was worthy of a talented man like his master!
On the other hand, Han Dai could provide Su Yu with far less of a halo effect compared to Cai Zhaoji.
Han Dai was caught in a dilemma.
To be honest, she didn't actually dislike Cai Zhaoji.
The only reason he felt aversion towards Cai Zhaoji was perhaps because of his admiration for Su Yu.
But right now, Cai Zhaoji is making this suggestion.
Han Dai is really hard to refuse!
If Han Dai doesn't marry Su Yu, and instead spends her days as a bodyguard in the courtyard watching Cai Zhaoji and Su Yu be all lovey-dovey, how can she possibly live?
After thinking for several minutes, Han Dai's pretty face was already flushed, and she nodded shyly.
A sly glint appeared in Cai Zhaoji's eyes.
She was not a martial artist, but Han Dai was quite skilled in martial arts.
If Su Yu goes on a campaign in the future, with Han Dai by his side to take care of him, Cai Zhaoji will feel more at ease.
Furthermore.
Cai Zhaoji knew perfectly well what was going on.
A person like Su Yu wouldn't belong to just her.
Even if he takes a concubine in the future, it will be perfectly normal.
As the legal wife, she had the right to manage Su Yu's concubines.
Rather than having Su Yu find other women from outside to enter the brothel, it would be better to make Han Dai, whom he knows well, his first concubine.
In this way, Han Dai would be grateful to Cai Zhaoji and would not harbor any desire to compete for favor.
Even if other vixens appear later, she and Han Dai can still stand on the same side, right?
