Sun Ce is right here in front of her, still with a beating heartbeat, a strong physique, and an domineering demeanor, ruling over the entire Jiangdong region.
This made Cao Cao restless and unable to eat or sleep.
Qiao Jingjing has completely understood.
Cao Cao wanted Sun Ce dead.
Qiao Jingjing said to Sun Ce, "Cao Cao's two sons have come all the way from Xudu. As the Marquis of Wu, you should personally host a banquet to entertain these two noble sons."
Qiao Jingjing planned to prepare poisoned wine at the banquet.
Make Cao Pi and Cao Zhi drink it.
If Cao Cao had no successor, would he still have the will to fight for the throne?
Is Qiao Jingjing really confused?
She never imagined that one day, all she could think about was Sun Ce, worrying about him and planning for him. Her romantic mind was filled with thoughts of Jiangdong and its future.
Cao Cao had already sent his two biological sons, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, to Jiangdong.
Clearly, this was because Cao Cao had a high opinion of himself and believed that the people of Jiangdong wouldn't dare to do anything to his two sons.
Give it a try!
Sun Ce specially chose an auspicious day and time, with civil and military officials by his side, to host a banquet for the two brothers Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, as well as Guo Jia, an important strategist by Cao Cao's side.
Such a banquet was already quite wonderful.
Guo Jia engaged in a heated debate with the scholars of Jiangdong, exchanging words back and forth.
Cao Pi and Cao Zhi would occasionally use the influence of their father Cao Cao, and even more so the influence of many emperors, to bluff their way into power.
Of course, there are also many people within Jiangdong.
Some of them were relatives of Cao Cao who were openly close. For example, Sun Ben's daughter married Cao Zhang. Sun Ben could be considered a direct relative by marriage of Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, which made him seem closer to Cao Cao than others.
Then there are generals like Cheng Pu, Huang Gai, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, and Lü Meng, who fought for military merit and saw black as black and white as white. Even Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, Cao Cao's sons, had to behave properly in front of these fierce men when they came to Jiangdong.
There was another group, but they were just there to watch the show, to get by, to fish in troubled waters, and to fill in the numbers. Anyway, Lord Wu had so many people supporting him, so in this peaceful time, there was no need to risk their lives. They could just join in on a banquet, have wine and meat to eat, and even have a peerless beauty like Lady Qiao in attendance. They could just feast their eyes on the feast.
The two brothers, Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, did not expect this.
Is Sun Ce really that generous? To allow his wife Da Qiao to come out and greet guests on such an occasion?
That Da Qiao looks very much like a mistress of the house.
The two brothers never expected that, after not seeing each other for about a few years, Da Qiao had clearly grown into an unparalleled beauty.
Back when they were still in Juancheng, Cao Cao had just found Da Qiao's mother and wanted to keep her in Xuchang so she could work on agriculture in the north. He also intended to marry her off to one of his brothers, but none of them took a liking to Da Qiao, a girl of humble birth and not particularly gentle personality.
All the brothers felt that only their father, Cao Cao, liked Da Qiao, and none of them liked her.
But things in this world can take such unexpected turns and twists and turns.
