Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

Hearing this, Xia Houyuan began to think seriously about Cheng Yu's words, but his mind was too confused, and it was difficult to come up with a result for a while.

On the contrary, Cao Hong said: "I heard that Li Yi is a very good woman, ahem."

Just as Cao Hong was halfway through speaking, he saw Xia Houyuan staring at him with extremely unfriendly eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Could it be that he deliberately didn't point it out, and wanted Miaocai to suffer this boring loss?"

Although Cao Hong's words made Xia Houyuan feel overwhelmed and very uncomfortable, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that there was some truth in it, so Xia Houyuan looked at Cheng Yu, his eyes were full of worry, if Li Yi took it seriously Playing a rogue with him, there is really no good way on his side.

Looking at Xia Houyuan's expression, Cheng Yu had already guessed what he was thinking, shook his head and said, "According to Cheng, the main purpose of Li Yi's actions today was on that Liu Bei. On the contrary, if Li Yi doesn't name the lady, then the lady is a commoner in Xuzhou, and Li Yi can justifiably punish Liu Bei with this name."

"As for why he gave his last name, I think Li Yi wanted to remind the general and reassure the general, otherwise why did Li Yi only take the young lady away?"

"Therefore, Miss today just coincides with the meeting. The reason why Li Yi wants to take Miss away is probably because he doesn't want to make things happen later because of Miss's identity."

Xia Houyuan nodded and said, "There is some truth to it."

Cheng Yu smiled and continued: "Li Yi and Liu Bei have a grudge, this matter is shared by everyone, and according to detailed information, when he was in Tan County, Li Yi wanted to kill Liu Bei, but it didn't happen at that time, so it happened. Today's situation."

"As for today's matter, based on the relationship between Li Yi and Liu Bei and others, Li Yi has probably asked someone to make things difficult for Liu Bei at this time. Although I don't know how Liu Bei will respond, it is extremely headache to think about it."

Xia Houyuan had sensed what Cheng Yu meant, and asked, "You asked me to unite with Liu Bei?"

"Not bad!"

Cheng Yu said: "The general intended to contact Liu Bei before, but it was just to show goodwill to Li Yi, so it was not easy to contact Liu Bei, so as not to startle the snake, but this time there is an opportunity, the general can send someone to question Liu Bei, and then Secretly contacting and probing, even if Li Yi knew about it, he couldn't blame the general, but taking a step back, even if things were leaked, it would be Liu Bei who would be damaged, not the general."

After hearing what Cheng Yu said, Cao Hong immediately expressed his opinion: "Miao Cai, I think this plan is feasible!"

Xia Houyuan also thought it was feasible, but Xia Houjuan was more concerned about it at this time, so he said: "Liu Bei's matter can be considered, but what should Juan'er do? Don't you just ignore it?"

"Of course not."

Cheng Yu shook his head slowly. Regarding Xia Houjuan's matter, in fact, as soon as he received the news, he had some concerns in his heart. It was just that Xia Houyuan was in a state of confusion at that time, and he couldn't speak at that time, so he kept silent. Now Xia Houyuan's mood has stabilized a lot , he can say some things.

Cheng Yu clasped his hands and asked: "Dare to ask the general, the young lady has reached the age of marriage. I heard that many people came to propose marriage before, but they were all rejected by the general. Dare to ask why?"

Xia Houyuan was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Cheng Yu to ask this, and frowned, but he still answered truthfully: "Juan'er is rare among women regardless of her appearance or character, and I regard her more than my own son, so I naturally want to find someone for her." A good family must not wrong her."

Cheng Yu rubbed his nose, used his movements to hide the smile on his face, and asked again: "Then dare to ask the general, among the young heroes in today's world, who can fall into the eyes of the general and think that he can be a good match for the young lady?"

Subconsciously, Xia Houyuan wanted to list all the famous young people in the world in his mind, but immediately, Xia Houyuan came to his senses, stared at Cheng Yu with a dark face, and asked through gritted teeth: "What do you mean!"

Chapter 480 Xia Houyuan recognized

Cheng Yu took a step back slowly, and said, "The general understands the meaning, doesn't he?"

"you"

Xia Houyuan was really pissed off. What Cheng Yu wanted to express was very simple, that is, among the young heroes in the world, no one could compare with Li Yi. Husband-in-law, it's better to just recognize Li Yi as his niece-in-law, after all, Li Yi is so good.

At first glance, this meaning does make sense, but Xia Houyuan, as the person involved, cannot accept it. Is it because Li Yi is young and famous, so it is reasonable to rob his niece?

Seeing that Xia Houyuan's chest was bulging like it was about to explode, Cheng Yu could only persuade him, "I know the general is angry, but what Yu said was not to make the general swallow his anger, let alone to ask the general to give up on Miss. , because although this matter makes people feel unhappy, it is also a good thing that serves multiple purposes."

Xia Houyuan felt a buzzing in his head, and his hair almost stood on end. He gritted his teeth, pointed at Cheng Yu, and said word by word: "If you don't tell me why, don't blame me for not being sympathetic!"

Cheng Yu looked indifferent, and was not annoyed by Xia Houyuan's threats, he just walked around a few steps, then stretched out a finger and said: "This one, judging from Li Yi's current achievements, is indeed a good match, although Miss used to have to As a concubine, but judging from the matter of Mi Heng and Kong Rong before, Li Yi is obviously a very protective person, so even if the lady is a concubine, she will not be wronged."

Xia Houyuan blushed and said: "But he is a womanizer, Juaner will be left out sooner or later if he follows him."

Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "The general is wrong, and the world is also wrong."

Xia Houyuan was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Yu said: "Before sending troops to Xuzhou this time, Zhicai and I talked about Li Yi. When it came to Li Yi's lust, how would the general know Zhicai's comment?"

Xia Houyuan frowned slightly: "This matter is well known, can there be other explanations?"

Cheng Yu said with a smile: "Zhicai said that Li Yi is a man of integrity, that he behaves in a relaxed manner. Although he likes beauty, he is definitely not a person who manipulates the rest of the world."

Both Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong stared wide-eyed, obviously disapproving of Xi Zhicai's evaluation.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu asked, "Are there any singers in the residence of the two generals?"

The two were startled, and then replied: "Of course there is."

Cheng Yu said again: "There is none in Li Yi's mansion, and whether Li Yi is in Nanyang or after taking over Jingzhou, the local aristocratic families or important officials often send beautiful maids and daughters with the intention of befriending Li Yipan." Well, I’m afraid it’s not less than dozens of times, but Li Yi didn’t accept anyone except for a general named Wei Yan who was sent by Li Yi.”

Cheng Yu spread his hands and said: "Since those people dared to send people to Li Yi's mansion, their looks are definitely not bad. Li Yiruo is really just a lustful person, so he should accept everything, but the fact is not the case. It can be seen that although Li Yi is lustful, he is not one of those libertines who only know how to indulge in lust, so the general really doesn't need to worry too much about this festival."

Xia Houyuan had nothing to say for a moment, because what Cheng Yu said was indeed reasonable. If nothing else, if Li Yi was really the kind of guy who would get dizzy when he saw a beautiful woman, he would not be able to get to where he is today.

Moreover, Xia Houyuan actually knows that the reason why he is so resistant to Li Yi is that apart from caring about Xia Houjuan, a large part of the reason is because of the hostile relationship between the two parties, coupled with Li Yi's provocations these days, which made him treat Li Yi very well. Li Yi felt very bad.

Seeing that Xia Houyuan was silent, Cao Hong coughed and asked, "What else?"

This time Cheng Yu didn't answer too quickly, and the relaxed expression on his face also changed to a serious one. He walked back and forth for several steps, sat in front of the two, and asked earnestly, "How does the general view the general situation of the world?" ?”

Cheng Yu's question once again exceeded Xia Houyuan's expectations. Xia Houyuan thought for a while, but didn't say anything. He just motioned Cheng Yu to continue.

Cheng Yu was also very straightforward, and said directly: "In today's world, the emperor has lost his power and cannot protect himself. The princes from all over the country are fighting in chaos. Not too bad."

"This is like a game of chess, a game of chess related to the world. The master is on the board, Li Yi is also on the board, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Gongsun Zan, Liu Zhang, Tao Qian, etc. are all on the board, but in the end There is only one person who can win, who does the general think can make it to the end?"

Before Xia Houyuan could answer, Cao Hong said decisively, "Of course it's Meng De!"

Cheng Yu smiled, then cupped his hands and said, "My lord, you are also a hero in this world, but are people like Yuan Shao and Li Yi not good enough?"

Cao Hong refused to accept it and said, "You are building up the ambitions of others and destroying your own prestige!"

Cheng Yu shook his head: "If I were talking to the soldiers and generals outside, I would naturally say that Li Yi is a grassroots man in the mountains, and now he is nothing more than a clown, not worth mentioning in front of the lord. However, if I think so in private, say that, Then it’s probably not Li Yi that needs to be mentioned, but you and me.”

Cao Hong was still dissatisfied in his heart, but he wasn't dead-headed either. Cheng Yu had spoken so bluntly, so he naturally understood the truth, so he stopped arguing.

Seeing this, Cheng Yu said to Xia Houyuan again: "Therefore, the world is in chaos today. If Miss and Li Yi form a relationship and make the two families a good relationship between Qin and Jin, it will not only protect Miss's own wealth, but in case of future changes, but There is a lady by Li Yi's side, this is affection, you can win a chance for the general and the lord, the reason for this, the general should understand, Li Yi naturally understands, the lord also knows, Cheng asserts that if the general will Tell the lord about this matter, the lord must scold Li Yi first to appease the general, but after that, it is inevitable to tactfully facilitate the matter and make the two families become in-laws. So, in this case, why not go along with the situation and directly agree to this matter? ?”

Xia Houyuan slowly closed his eyes. It wasn't that he was not angry anymore, but Cheng Yu's words forced him to consider this matter from a new angle.

Xia Houyuan is a very righteous and sentimental person. He can take the blame for Cao Cao and give up his parents and children for Xia Houjuan during the famine, which shows his character.

If today's events were placed in the early years, Xia Houyuan would probably ignore them and act with the primary purpose of rescuing Xia Houjuan. But now, with the rise of Cao Cao and the heavier responsibilities he shoulders, Xia Houyuan knows , Many things, he can no longer make judgments from his heart, but instead learn to be like Cheng Yu, proceed from the interests, and then make some decisions that are not in line with his heart.

Cheng Yu looked at Xia Houyuan's expression and knew that his thoughts had been loosened. After thinking about it, he decided to add fuel to the fire, and added softly: "Although Li Yi has many wives and concubines, he has never had any children. As Li Yi gave birth to a son and a half daughter, what will happen in the future?"

Cheng Yu didn't say the rest, but the implication was already very obvious.

Li Yi is now the lord of Jingzhou, and his reputation is extremely high. Under such circumstances, once Li Yi has an heir, he will definitely be regarded as the heir to Li Yi's career by Li Yi himself and those who support Li Yi , his weight is very heavy.
