Chapter 197
Cai Feng deliberated for a moment, looked at Cai Mao, and said.
"Eh?"
Cai Mao heard this, was stunned for a moment, and then said with pleasant surprise: "Father, does that mean you agree?"
"Yes!"
Cai Feng nodded helplessly: "It is indeed the best method!"
"Go ask your second sister and see if she is willing!"
"If she isn't willing, then forget it; we will think of another way!"
"Additionally, I have sent people to investigate. Su Xuan is currently training and building a naval force in Jiangling;"
"It has just started, and they haven't even recruited all the people, let alone war vessels;"
"He even released news that he wants to acquire war vessels;"
"Coincidentally, our Cai Clan has several shipbuilding workshops and has accumulated some war vessels in our hands, which we can directly send a batch to Su Xuan;"
"Additionally, we can send some young and strong men who are proficient in water skills;"
"In this way, even if your second sister doesn't agree to the marriage, we can still further establish a relationship with Su Xuan."
The reason why he still wants to marry is also because, compared to the Huang Clan, their Cai Clan's relationship with the Su family has become more distant over these two generations.
We must find a way to bring it closer.
He is not a person without vision.
Over the past few years, he has often discussed the current situation of the world with Pang Degong and others.
They unanimously believe that the future Great Han will inevitably face a truly chaotic world.
In the future, it is highly likely to be a situation where warlords rise together.
At this time, someone like Su Xuan, who controls powerful military forces and has outstanding abilities, becomes very important.
He is very optimistic about Su Xuan's future and believes that in the future struggle for hegemony among warlords, Su Xuan will inevitably have a place.
Similarly, he is very clear that Su Xuan should also have seen the possibility of a chaotic world in the future, so he is making preparations.
This point can be seen from his actions in Nanjun and his behavior of vigorously expanding military armaments.
This person is extraordinary.
"Eh? There's such a thing? Why didn't I think of it?"
Cai Mao heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded in response: "I understand! I will go ask my second sister right now!"
"Additionally, Father, do you think it is necessary for me to take the opportunity to join Su Xuan's naval force and mix in a position as a main naval general?"
Since we are prepared to invest and place a bet, shouldn't we do it early?
Perhaps, with his talent, he could even mix in as a main general in Su Xuan's naval force!
Cai Mao has this confidence.
By then, he, Cai Mao, would be a great naval general. How majestic would that be?
"Just you?"
Cai Feng heard this and looked at Cai Mao with disdain, mocking: "Do you have this ability? Do you think Su Xuan's subordinates are all wine-and-meat bags like you?"
"Those are elites who have experienced a hundred battles. He has countless great generals under his command. Why do you think you are better than them?"
Cai Mao: "..."
Am I that bad?
Is this definitely my biological father?
"Then I won't go?"
Cai Mao said speechlessly.
At the same time, he felt his heart had been hit.
"Go! Why wouldn't you go?"
However, Cai Feng said unexpectedly: "Not only must you go, but you must also make a name for yourself for me!"
"I have inquired. The main naval general appointed by Su Xuan is a young man named Wen Pin;"
"This person has a very ordinary background and is also very young. I haven't heard that he has commanded a naval force;"
"I estimate he can only rely on his own exploration;"
"You have at least spent some time in the Jiangxia naval force and have also read the military books on the Cai Clan's naval force;"
"You might not be very good at commanding troops, but training a naval force should be no problem!"
"At least, you should be stronger than that Wen Pin;"
"This is your opportunity!"
"As long as Su Xuan knows that you have mastered the secrets of training a naval force, he will inevitably value you highly."
The Cai Clan has been in this Jingzhou for so many years; it hasn't been in vain. How could there be no heritage in their hands?
This naval military book heritage is it.
Cai Mao heard this, and the previous depression was swept away. He said excitedly: "Does that mean I am still very amazing?"
"Yes!"
Although Cai Feng was speechless, it was not good to continue to dampen Cai Mao's confidence, so he could only nod slightly and say: "That's it! You go ask your second sister if she is willing to be a concubine for Su Xuan;"
"If she is willing, that's best; if she isn't, it doesn't matter;"
"Regardless, 3 days later, you will accompany me to Jiangling to meet Su Xuan."
These matters, after all, still require him to go and tell Su Xuan personally so he can feel at ease.
Otherwise, he is worried that Cai Mao won't do it well.
"Yes! I'll go right now!"
Cai Mao nodded happily and left quickly.
After leaving, Cai Mao found his second sister at the first opportunity.
He happened to see his second sister actually reading Su Xuan's 'Thousand Character Classic'.
"It's written so well!"
"It's a pity, why doesn't Young Master Su write more articles and poetry?"
"I heard he is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and he is also heroic and handsome. Why is he betrothed to the Xun Clan? It's a pity..."
Cai Yuan looked at the 'Thousand Character Classic' in her hand and sighed softly in a low voice.
She has always had a high opinion of herself and has extremely high expectations and requirements for her future husband.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be 16 and not yet married off.
It was hard to come by a Su Xuan, and she felt he fit her requirements very well.
