Summoning the best emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 384
Yuan Shu soon ordered a large banquet to be held at his residence and invited envoys from the four princes to come over to discuss the marriage.

If it were anyone else, he would not be so arrogant. Instead, he would take turns talking to the envoys and weigh and choose the one that suits him best based on the conditions they offer.

But Yuan Shu likes to save face, and he was beaten up by their four princes for a while before. Now he finally has a chance to change from passive to active. How could he miss the interesting situation of sitting and watching the envoys fight?

But as a result, he also had new problems.

There are four envoys, how should this position be arranged, after all, none of the envoys would dare to lose face to the lord.

Once Yuan Shu gets it wrong, I'm afraid that the negotiations will start, and he will directly turn against the princes along the way.

Yuan Shu also had a headache, and in the end, under the suggestion of the military advisor Yan Xiang, he simply didn't arrange the positions and let them choose by themselves.

After Zhuge Liang, Lu Su, Chen Gong, and Jian Yong came to the banquet hall, they saw four seats lined up on the left and right, two on each side, but there was no sign indicating who was sitting where, and there was no butler to guide the way, so they immediately put Yuan Shu on the table. His mind is clear.

Several people looked at each other and smiled politely, but they were constantly figuring out plans in their hearts, and they didn't want to be inferior to others.

After all, they represent the princes from all walks of life behind them.

Zhuge Liang was the first to smile heartily, and said to several people: "Forgive me, everyone, please take the seat first."

After speaking, he took Luo Cheng and Yu Wencheng straight to the first place on the left column, sat down calmly, and remained silent.

This is the most honorable position in the guest seat. No matter Liu Xie's current status or power, Zhuge Liang can undoubtedly sit in this position. When the other people saw it, there was no surprise or hindrance.

With three spots left, only the top spot on the left column is up for grabs.

Chen Gong and Lu Su looked at each other for a long time, but they didn't act first.

The two of them were in a stalemate here, but Jian Yong smiled like Zhuge Liang and said: "You two continue, I will take my seat first."

When the two heard this, they couldn't help looking at him.

Fortunately, Jian Yong also had self-knowledge, knowing that Liu Bei was the weakest, and he didn't dare to compete with them, so he directly sat down under Zhuge Liang's position.

The remaining two, Chen Gong and Lu Su, both wanted to take the seat on the left, but neither of them dared to move first, as if they were stunned and turned into wooden figures, making Yuan Shu, who was hiding in the dark and observing, laugh non-stop. There is a kind of carefree attitude of sitting and watching the dog bite the dog.

"Chen Gong has heard for a long time that Jiangdong's Sun family has three masters. His father and brother are heroic, and the youngest son, Sun Quan, is even more extraordinary. It's a pity that I can't meet them face to face today."

After saying that, Chen Gong smiled slightly and led Cao Ang and Wang Yanzhang to the left.

Lu Su's expression changed. He didn't expect that Chen Gong would catch him.

The princes from all over the world came to ask for marriage, only Sun Quan did not come in person, it will inevitably make people feel that Jiangdong is contemptuous and perfunctory, and in this way, they will lose everyone first.

"It's no wonder that Cao Cao can rely on him as the strategist's mastermind. This Chen Gong is really extraordinary."

Lu Su made a note in his mind and could only take Lu Wenlong and Ling Tong to sit in the last seat.

As Lu Su took his seat, Yuan Shu couldn't leave them here any longer, so he walked out immediately, sat down at the main seat, looked at everyone and said with a smile, "It's really a shame that such heroes come here for a little girl's wedding." I was very pleasantly surprised. Come here, first serve the food and wine, and I want to talk with the envoys while eating and drinking."

As soon as Yuan Shu gave an order, servants came forward with sumptuous meals and mellow wines for everyone.

At this time, he also saw Luo Cheng, and his complexion changed a little. Knowing that Luo Cheng might have surrendered to Liu Xie, he was angry in his heart, but he couldn't bear it.

Luo Cheng also looked at Yuan Shu angrily, wishing he could rush up and stab him to death, but seeing Zhuge Liang shaking his head, he endured it.

Zhuge Liang was very calm. Looking at the delicious food in front of him, he couldn't help but marvel that Yuan Shu is really a prodigal. Now he can't even keep Runan, and he can still provide such delicious food. He is arrogant and greedy.

But it would be a waste not to eat, Zhuge Liang didn't have any psychological burden, and he was not afraid that Yuan Shu would tamper with it, so he began to enjoy it slowly and contentedly.

Several other people also ate and drank very calmly, and they didn't know whether they were just enjoying themselves like this on weekdays or just pretending to be temporary.

Yuan Shu saw him and continued to say: "All of you virtuous nephews are heroes of the moment, but unfortunately I only have one daughter, called Xianniang, who is as beautiful as a flower, and is skilled in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but now it is a bit difficult. What do you think?"

Luo Cheng's complexion changed slightly when he heard this, thinking of the woman who started fighting with him as soon as he met, but he didn't see that she could play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at all.

However, Yuan Shu seemed to be a lot smarter all of a sudden, and whenever he had a problem, he would throw it to the envoys from all directions to solve it by themselves, without any involvement in provoking hatred.

It's just that Zhuge Liang and the others are so smart, they smiled and agreed, saying: "In that case, I'll think about it before I tell the general."

The few people had a tacit understanding, and they didn't mention the bargaining chip at all, as if they really came here purely for this marriage, which made Yuan Shu feel dumb for nothing.

Yuan Shu's face was a bit embarrassed, but now the four of them ignored him, and the discussion was in full swing, which made him very embarrassed.

However, he also knew that since the four princes sent envoys, they would at least agree to withdraw their troops after the matter was completed. Thinking of this, Yuan Shu was not so anxious.

After a while, the four people discussed the results. Zhuge Liang said: "Being born in troubled times, you should rely on your strength to speak. If you want to marry the pearl, you have to see who is more skilled and wins the girl's heart. The four of me discussed it, no If there is a martial arts competition, the winner may be favored by the young lady and be embraced by the beautiful woman."

"This method is interesting, but I don't know how to implement it?"

Yuan Shu not only didn't think it was perfunctory, but agreed with a smile.

"We send two candidates from each side, draw lots to determine the opponent, and fight each other. The loser has nothing to say about being eliminated, and the winner continues to decide the outcome."

It was Chen Gong who spoke. He compared Wang Yanzhang's high martial arts skills, and Cao Ang is also a rare fierce general. I am afraid that no one present here can beat them together, so he is very confident.

Neither Lu Su nor Jian Yong objected. They also had great confidence in their own Lu Wenlong and Pei Yuanqing.

"General Yuwen please help me!"

Seeing that they had finalized the deal, Luo Cheng couldn't help but looked at Yu Wencheng who was beside him, and whispered.

"Brother, don't worry. If you and I join forces, these chickens and dogs are not worth mentioning."

Yuwen Chengdu was very arrogant, and all the generals present were not impressed by him.

His eyes were vicious, and he knew that Wang Yanzhang, Pei Yuanqing, and Lu Wenlong were all rare fighters, but they were still a lot worse than him. Coupled with Luo Cheng, a fighter with a silver spear, he was sure to win the competition.

Most of the other people also have the same thoughts, and they are very sure of themselves.

Because all the fierce generals who came to the meeting this time, except for Wang Yanzhang, were all unknown people, such as Yuwen Chengdu and Lu Wenlong, no one except their own people knew how powerful they were.

This match will definitely be exciting.
