Dragon of the Three Kingdoms

But Chen Gong didn't point it out, and he also knew that it was impossible for Li Yi to send troops to Dongjun, and his request was nothing more than to suppress Li Yi's asking price.

"Xianghou is indeed a benevolent and righteous gentleman!"

Chen Gong praised Li Yi either satirically or flatteringly, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Chen heard from General Wei Xu that when Luoyang was in Luoyang, there were many contacts between the Xianghou and Wenhou families. The relationship between Xianghou and Wenhou's daughter is even more intimate. The acquaintance was even before Wenhou. The fate is deep. If Dong Zhuo hadn't interfered with it, the two families would have become in-laws. Alas, even now, Wenhou's daughter still often talks about Xiang. Hou, so, hehe"

Chapter 627 So Despicable

Hearing Chen Gong mention Lu Lingqi, a smile suddenly appeared on Xun You's face, and it was different from the fake smile before, this time it was sincere.

When Li Yi was still in Yangzhou, Li Yi held a celebration banquet. On that occasion, everyone naturally wanted to talk about Li Yi's glorious years. At that time, Zhang Liao drank a little too much. Be careful to say that Li Yi almost became Lu Bu's son-in-law.

At that time, some people thought it was a joke, but some people kept it in their hearts and saw the huge impact it might have. Xun You was one of them. Therefore, Xun You planned to promote this matter after returning to Jingzhou Yes, it's just that Kuai Yue's play caught him off guard and made Li Yi angry, so Xun You put this matter aside for the time being, even when he came to Yanzhou, he didn't think about it.

However, now that Chen Gong took the initiative to mention this matter, it was completely acceptable to Xun You. After all, he had no reason to stop Lu Bu from giving away his daughter.

Seeing that Xun You was moved, Chen Gong knew that there was a reason for this, so he continued: "For the past friendship between Marquis Xiang and Marquis Wen's daughter, and for the future friendship between the two families, as long as Marquis Xiang helps Marquis Wen's daughter to be his wife, Ji Yin , Shanyang, and Marquis Wen can all be given over as dowry!"

Xun You was about to nod his head in agreement, but felt something was wrong, he restrained his smile, and asked, "Gongtai is talking about the real wife?"

"That's natural!"

Chen Gong's tone was flat, as if what he said was a matter of course.

However, Xun You sneered directly at this time.

When Chen Gong proposed to let Lu Bu marry his daughter, Xun You understood the meaning behind Chen Gong's words. This represented Lu Bu's gesture of favor, and he hoped that this relationship could be used to put a set of shackles on Li Yi. But Li Yi's eating should not be too ugly.

In addition, it is an insurance for Lu Bu. In case there is a conflict between the two sides in the future, they must stay on the front line and don't kill them all.

Generally speaking, this marriage is beneficial to each other, but Lu Bu actually took advantage of it more. However, considering Li Yi's personal factors and the appeasement of the annexation of Lu Bu's troops in the future, even if he suffers a little bit now, Xun You is To replace Li Yi's promise.

However, Chen Gong proposed to make Lu Bu's daughter Li Yi's official wife, which Xun You could not accept.

Although Jingzhou had a wave of words asking Li Yi to change his wife before, in fact, except that Li Yi had no children, Fushou himself had no problems at all. Quite good. Although he did not interfere in Li Yi's political affairs, he became personal friends with many officials' wives and daughters, and made a lot of contributions to maintaining the relationship between Li Yi and those officials.

It can be said that Fushou's performance is almost perfect. At least Xun You can't think of a more suitable candidate for Li Yi's wife than Fushou. As for Lu Bu's daughter, it's not that Xun You looks down on her, but Li Yi's current situation is so big. Can hold the field.

Moreover, she is also Li Yi's official wife. When Li Yi achieves great success, this position will not be exchanged for a county, not even a state.

Although Xun You was dissatisfied with Chen Gong's request, he couldn't just turn his back on him. After thinking about it, Xun You asked in a deep voice, "How is Marquis Wen's reputation compared to Cai Zhonglang?"

Chen Gong's face froze, and he was speechless immediately.

Although Lv Bu is a prince, not to mention the current decline, even though he was powerful when he was at his peak, he really can't compare with Cai Yong in terms of fame, after all, he is a Huaren.

Seeing that Chen Gong remained silent, Xun You did not let go of his plan, and continued to speak in a slow manner: "In my concubine's room, there is the daughter of the Xie family in Kuaiji, the daughter of Yuan Shu's concubine, and the wealthy Cai family of Jingzhou, and the Zhuge family of Langya. Sir, I won’t list the rest one by one, so although this is my master’s family matter, the public platform should understand the scale and structure, not everyone can go up, and it must be done reluctantly, I’m afraid it’s a disaster rather than a blessing.”

Chen Gong's face was blue and white, he was just trying to test it, but he didn't expect Xun You to be so shameless, and finally he could only forcefully laugh: "This matter will be decided by Marquis Wen in the end, but since Gongda dare not agree to this matter, As for Jiyin and Shanyang, forgive Chen Gong for being incompetent, and really not sure how to persuade Marquis Wen to agree."

Seeing that the core of the problem came back, although Xun You didn't care about the land of the two counties, his tone did not slow down much, and he said meaningfully: "The land of the two counties is what my lord asked for. Difficult to send troops, unless"

Chen Gong hurriedly asked: "Unless what?"

Xun You suddenly smiled and said, "Unless Marquis Wen's daughter becomes a concubine with my lord, then I don't want to marry my lord as a dowry. Instead, I will send Shanyang as a dowry gift, and then I will only take Chenliu and Jiyin, how about it?"

Chen Gong cursed inwardly, this was the first time he had seen such a thing of taking other people's things as a dowry, but Chen Gong pondered for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, or in other words, planning to give Lu Bu's daughter to Li Yi Gains and losses, in the end, Chen Gong sighed in his heart, and then said to Xun You: "This matter should be decided by Marquis Wen!"

Xun You smiled lightly, although Chen Gong said so, but listening to his tone, Xun You knew that the matter was basically completed.

If Xun You is looking for Gao Shun today, even if an agreement is reached, Gao Shun will collapse with Lu Bu afterwards, but Chen Gong is different, he is a very smart person, and given the current situation, he is very sure that Lu Bu will follow their negotiation to do business.

Chen Gong was also a decisive person, since it was decided, he no longer hesitated, and asked directly: "Chen Gong will go to meet Marquis Wen, and Gong Da will go with me, how about it?"

Xun You waved his hand to evade, saying: "Xun is just a weak person, but Wen Hou is the enemy of ten thousand people. If you see Wen Hou, you will inevitably feel awe in your heart. It would be unbeautiful to be trembling and lose courtesy. Therefore, everything will be troubled by Gongda."

Chen Gong smiled. He didn't believe that Xun You would be afraid of Lu Bu. The last time Lu Bu dared to beat someone, it was when Lu Bu couldn't ask Li Yi, and he was just a bodyguard. , even if Lu Bu is unhappy, he will not be too rude.

Chen Gong didn't try to persuade him anymore, because he knew, and Xun You also knew that if Xun You asked Lu Bu to talk about this matter, Lu Bu would not be able to discuss many things because of his face. , there is a lot of leeway in the middle, and Lu Bu easily agreed.

So, Chen Gong stood up, cupped his hands to Xun You and said, "Then please ask Gongda to take a rest here for a while, and Chen will be back in the afternoon!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Gong walked out. Xun You watched Chen Gong's back disappear into the yard, and couldn't help laughing. After a long time, the laughter stopped, and then Xun You turned his head to look at the north of Yanzhou, with a twinkle in his eyes. After a hint of playfulness, he really wanted to know how Cao Cao would respond to Li Yi's damaging move.

Dongping, Ningyang, in a mansion temporarily requisitioned, Cao Cao felt a severe headache when he saw the people arguing endlessly in front of him.

Originally, Cao Cao was very happy these days. After all, he had gained power in the Yanzhou battlefield again and again, so he couldn’t be unhappy, and now that Lu Bu himself was injured, as long as he put in more strength, he could completely recover Yanzhou, but he didn’t want to, Li Yi Suddenly something very disgusting happened to him.

Li Yi asked someone to send him a letter from Cao Hong, saying that he wanted to exchange Cao Hong's life with Guan Yu's head.

Cao Cao scolded his mother on the spot. Cao Cao's future generations can be called traitors. How could he not see Li Yi's little trick?

However, although he could see it, he was also annoyed at Li Yi's poor character, and used such a low-handed method to force him, but he scolded him, but he didn't have a good way to deal with it.

After thinking about it, Cao Cao simply decided to kill Li Yi's messenger and keep the matter a secret for now.

But before Cao Cao could make a move, Xia Houyuan and Xiahou Dun came to find him, and they all came to speak for Cao Hong.

This made Cao Cao very surprised. After asking the reason, he almost vomited blood.

In addition to Cao Hong's letter, Li Yi also wrote three letters, which were sent to Xiahouyuan, Xiahoudun, and Cao Ren respectively, and they were sent before Cao Cao. They also talked about exchanging Guan Yu for Cao Hong. I hope the three of them persuade Cao Cao not to let Cao Cao hurt his family's life because of a mere outsider.

This horrible thing made Cao Cao feel as if someone had made a horse piss, and the discomfort in his heart was beyond words.

Then Cao Ren also came without waiting for a long meeting, but Cao Ren had a different opinion from Brother Xiahou, and he did not suggest that Cao Cao agree to Li Yi's request.

Cao Cao knew very well why these people had different views.

Xia Houyuan was ashamed of Cao Hong, Xuzhou Cheng County suffered a disastrous defeat, and Xia Houyuan lost thousands. Although he escaped safely, Cheng Yu and Cao Hong were both captured by Li Yi. Although it was because they lost to Li Yi, it was not shameful. Afterwards, no one blamed him because of this, but as a general, Xia Houyuan felt extremely sorry.

Therefore, now that he heard that there was an opportunity to exchange Cao Hong back, in Xia Houyuan's view, there was no reason why he should not agree. Not to mention Guan Yu, even if he was exchanged, it would be fine.

Although Xiahoudun is not as emotional as Xiahouyuan, no matter whether he considers it out of personal friendship or in the military, he cannot show his rejection attitude, otherwise he will not be able to explain to Cao Cao's clan generals.

Cao Ren, as Cao Hong's fellow clan, wanted to redeem Cao Hong, but he was relatively calm, knowing that this issue was a dilemma for Cao Cao, and he was probably the only one who could persuade Cao Cao to refuse, so Cao Hong decided to He chose an attitude that was at odds with the Xiahou brothers.

The three of them insisted on their own opinions, Cao Cao knew clearly in his heart, but couldn't speak clearly, so he asked Xi Zhong and Xun Yu to be his advisers, but although these two were resourceful, they knew Cao Cao's decision at a glance. But they are also really bad at expressing their views.

Just like Xi Zhong, Xia Houyuan glared at him repeatedly as soon as he expressed his intention to get Cao Cao to reject him.

So, Cao Cao under the account of Wu Qiju, talked for a long time, making Cao Cao upset, but no one can come up with an accurate charter.

Listening to the quarrels below, Cao Cao was rubbing his head when a guard came in and reported, "My lord, Guan Yu is begging to see you outside!"

Hearing Guan Yu's name, Cao Cao subconsciously showed a smile on his face, and there was even a look of joy in his brows and eyes, but these expressions were fleeting, and were immediately replaced by anger, and shouted: "How did Yun Chang know, by the way? , it must be that Li Yi kid, who also sent a letter to Yunchang, forcing Yunchang, Li Yi! Such a despicable person! Villain! If I knew this, I couldn’t keep him in the first place!"

Everyone was silent about Cao Cao's scolding.

And after Cao Cao scolded him, he himself felt a little embarrassed. What he said was too big, because even if time went back, unless he slashed at Li Yi as soon as they met, he would have no chance to deal with Li Yi at all.
