Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

""Spring and Autumn" is a history book that teaches people to be sensible. I learned about the rich families in Xuzhou through listening to other people's chats in the village. Of course, I also have my own understanding..."

After hearing this, Gan Qian did not suspect him, "Others only read books, brother, you can understand other things by reading books, it's really amazing."

Ganji stroked his beard and nodded, "I have already said that Tian'er is an unusual child, and he will definitely not be a thing in the pool."

"Father, I'm worried about Xuande's daily life, and I plan to go back to Xiaopei tomorrow." Gan Qian said.

"Don't you want to stay longer? Xuande has married a bride, so what is there to worry about in life?" Ganji said unhurriedly.

Gan Qian blushed, "Miss Mi's family was born in a wealthy family, how can she know how to serve men well..."

The next day Gan Qian returned to Xiaopei and took back the "Spring and Autumn" that Guan Yu had given to Lantian.

After Guan Yu saw the letter, he wondered, "Sister-in-law, what is the meaning of this? Guan has never taken back what he sent out."

"Uncle, don't be upset, my younger brother has already finished reading, so let me return it to you." Gan Qian said.

In front of Liu Bei, Guan Yu was not good at expressing his opinions. After Gan Qian left, he shook his head and sighed: "I thought that Lan Tian was a good seedling, but I was very disappointed..."

"Why did the second brother say that? Hasn't he finished reading "Spring and Autumn"?" Liu Bei asked puzzled.

Guan Yu stroked his long beard and said, "How can the righteousness of "Spring and Autumn" be understood in such a short time? I have been traveling with my elder brother for many years, and you should know that I often read it, and there are always new insights every time I read it."

Liu Bei said with a smile: "Lan Tian is still a child, he must be undecided now, how can he understand Mr. Zuo's subtle words and great righteousness?"

"That kid is quite smart, what a pity."

"He's just looking at flowers on horseback, second brother, why should you sigh."

Guan Yu nodded after hearing this and said: "I can save this, but I think my sister-in-law is a big woman, so don't be too cold-hearted."

"Okay, I'll stay in her room tonight." Liu Bei said.

At night, Liu Bei went to bed in Gan Qian's room after finishing his military affairs. Seeing her sitting by the bed and meditating, he asked, "Madam has been living in the village for a long time. Could it be that she is afraid of marrying someone else?"

"What is the husband talking about? Is the concubine jealous for no reason? It's just that my father missed his homeland, so he stayed with him for a few more days." Gan Qian explained.

"As a filial piety, it should be done. I'm a little tired. Let's go to bed early." Liu Bei took off his armor alone, and lay down on the bed first.

"Husband, have you ever heard that Yuan Shu from Huainan went to Xiapi to marry Lu Bu recently?" Gan Qian looked at Liu Bei on the bed and said softly.

"Where did you get this news?" Liu Bei's drowsiness dissipated immediately, and he sat up straight away.

"Yesterday, a farmer came from Xiapi. It is said that there has been a lot of news there." Gan Qian said.

After Liu Bei heard this, he didn't even think about going to sleep. He put on his thin shirt and was about to go out again.

"Husband, it's getting late now, where are you going?" Gan Qian chased after her and asked.

"I have something important to discuss with Yun Chang. If my wife is tired, I will go to sleep first." Liu Bei disappeared before the doorway.

"Then I wait for you……"

Chapter No.17 Lu Bu Breaks His Promise

Liu Bei was still terrified at Xiaopei, while Lu Bu just woke up from a hangover.

Yan Shi fetched water for her to wash her face, and Lu Bu asked after regaining consciousness, "Where did Lingqi go?"

"Where else can I go? I went to the school to practice martial arts." Yan replied.

Lu Bu dried his hands and continued, "Lingqi has never liked female celebrities since she was a child. From tomorrow onwards, you will keep her at home and teach her how to take care of her husband and children. This is not a big deal."

"You don't know how young you are? Lingqi is almost seventeen this year, and the general usually indulges her in martial arts. Now that she is about to get married, you are only worried..." Yan complained.

"What's wrong with my Lu Bu's daughter practicing martial arts? No, how do you know that Lingqi is going to marry?" Lu Bu asked in bewilderment.

Mrs. Yan shook her head and smiled, "It's spread all over Xiapi now, we're going to marry Yuan Shu in Huainan, and Yuan Yao is the eldest son, so it's not bad to marry Lingqi."

Lu Bu also said to keep the news under wraps for a while, and wait for Yuan Shu to deliver the dowry (food and grass) before announcing it. I didn't expect those guys to be so loose with their mouths.

At noon, Chen Deng and his sons in Xiapi invited Lv Bu to the mansion for a banquet.

When sleepiness came, someone sent a pillow, and Lu Bu happily accepted it. After taking Xuzhou, he was worried that he would not be able to stand on his feet.

First of all, there have been wars between Qing and Xu for many years, and the Yellow Turban bandits have rebelled. Tao Qian, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei have exploited the grain and rice of the people, and now the supply of their own army is unsustainable; Taking refuge in Liu Bei, if you want to get the support of the local wealthy family, you can only count on the Chen family in Xiapi.

Lu Bu is now worrying that there is no reason to approach the Chen family. He now claims that Xuzhou Mu doesn't know the other party's reaction, so he doesn't take the initiative to make friends.

The Chen family's father and son warmly entertained them, and they kept praising Lu Bu's bravery at the banquet, and they didn't make any excessive demands. The so-called bridal sedan chairs are carried by everyone, as long as they are willing to say good things, no one will like them. This made Lu Bu feel good about them.

Lü Bu was so drunk that he was sent back to the mansion by the accompanying guards.

"Father, from your point of view, are you sure?" Chen Deng asked Chen Gui after sending Lu Bu away.

Chen Gui stroked his beard, his eyes were sharp and deep, "Lu Bu Pif, but this matter has to be figured out slowly, in short, make good friends with him first."

Xuzhou frequently changes masters, and the Chen family, which manages the Xu and Yang families, will not easily stand in line like Mi Zhu for the future and destiny of the entire family.

The rumors in the city in the morning made the father and son unable to sit still. If Yuan Shu and Lu Bu got married, the Chen family would become a fish on the case in an instant when he went to Pi.

In the next few days, Chen Deng and Chen Gui took turns to invite Lu Bu to drink, and also gave some food and rice to relieve the urgent need. The behavior of the father and son made Lu Bu very proud.

At the beginning of August, Yuan Shu ordered Han Yin to send the prepared food and supplies to Xiapi.

When Han Yin came back, Lu Lingqi was so angry that she bid farewell to the Yan family and came to Gaoshun camp to sulk.

Gao Shun persuaded: "Although Mr. Ziyu has never seen Mr. Ziyu use schemes, it is related to the happiness of Miss and himself. I think there will always be a result. Why don't we wait a little longer?"

"What are you waiting for? I've been waiting for more than 20 days. How can anyone come to help? Now that Han Yin has brought a lot of dowry gifts, my father is so happy that he almost jumped up today. The guy in Lantian might think I look like a willow. I married someone else early..." Lu Lingqi stomped her feet and complained.

"Miss, you go back first, so as not to be suspicious, I'll go and inquire about the situation."

Gao Shun felt that Lu Bu hadn't made a statement yet, so he could get a word from Han Yin.

After arriving at the Xiapi post office, the post officer told him that the master Chen Gong had come to see Han Yin before him. Gao Shun wondered: Why did Mr. Gongtai come here?

Gao Shun asked the post officer to keep quiet, so he walked in quietly by himself, and came to Han Yin's door to listen closely, but Chen Gong actually stated to the other party that he wanted to facilitate the marriage as soon as possible.

Gao Shun was shocked and left quietly, and asked the postman not to tell anyone that he had been here.

Although the post house is a reception place, it is under the control of the army. Gao Shun is a general under Lu Bu, and his words are more effective here than Chen Gong.

Chen Gong hated Cao thief deeply, and Yuan Shu was at odds with Cao thief. Thinking of this, Gao Shun understood why Chen Gong would promote Lu Yuan's marriage.

Now that Yuan Shu's envoy came back, it was too late for Gao Shun to ask Lan Tian for advice. In desperation, he could only spread the new news in the city, hoping that the helper Lan Tian said would appear.

After leaving the post house, Chen Gong went straight back to the government office to speak to Lu Bu, explaining in detail the benefits of marrying Yuan Shu, and suggested that Lu Lingqi be sent to Shouchun immediately.

Lv Bu had never seen Chen Gong so anxious, but since he had accepted Yuan Shu's betrothal gift, early marriage and late marriage are still married, so he called Gao Shun and said: "You and Lingqi are both teachers and friends, and I want to send her off tomorrow. Go to Shouchun to get married, and order you to escort the general who will be married, go and prepare."

Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then cupped his fists and said, "Wei."

Walking on the road, Gao Shun's feet are always floating. Could it be that this matter is really irreversible?Just after leaving the house, I ran into the old guy Chen Gui again.

It is often said that the Chen family father and son love to flatter horses, Gao Shun despises this kind of behavior, he snorts coldly and brushes past them.

Gao Shun was upset, but he still carried out Lü Bu's orders.

In the early morning of the next day, Gao Shun led the soldiers and horses of his troops, prepared the red guard of honor and the carriage, and waited neatly outside the government office. At this time, Chen Gong also came to see Han Yin off.

When the time was auspicious, when Lu Bu sent his daughter out, Chen Gong said awkwardly to Han Yin, "My lord was very drunk last night, maybe it was a late hour. You are here later, and I will come as soon as I go."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he lifted the hem of his clothes and trotted all the way into the mansion.

Lu Bu was indeed hungover at this time, Chen Gong came to the back hall anxiously, met Yan and asked, "Ma'am, where is the lord?"

"The general was very drunk last night, and he is still resting on the couch." Yan replied.

"Oh, it's a mistake. I've been waiting for a long time outside the door to see off the relatives, please go and wake up the lord." Chen Gong said anxiously.

After Yan Shi answered, he pushed the door open and entered the room, waking up Lu Bu who was sleeping soundly, "The general is going to send Lingqi to get married today? I'm afraid it's too late now..."

"Getting married today? No... no..." Lu Bu lay back down after finishing his speech with drunken eyes.

Chen Gong heard the conversation outside the room, so he knocked on the door anxiously, Lv Bu shouted angrily, "Who is outside the room disturbing my sleep?"

At this time, Chen Gong pushed the door open and entered, bowed and said: "My lord, Han Yin and General Gao have been waiting outside the gate for a long time..."

"Where are they waiting for?" Lu Bu looked puzzled.

"Didn't my lord say yesterday that at today's time, I will send Miss Lingqi to Shouchun to get married?" Chen Gong said in amazement.

"Is this really the case? Could it be that I was talking nonsense after drinking?" Lu Bu asked with a confused face.

"Yesterday you sent General Gao Shun to marry you. How much did my lord drink last night? How did you forget about such a big event?" Chen Gong was heartbroken, thinking that you are so greedy for drinking, why do you plan for big things?

Lu Bu scratched his head and said, "Gongtai said so, I seem to think of something, but my daughter of Lu Bu is married as a wife, how can there be such a rush? Three books and six appointments are indispensable. Let Han Yin prepare first. "

Chen Gong stayed where he was for an instant, why did my lord, a martial artist, suddenly behave so politely?

Chapter 18 Inseparable relatives

Lu Bu repented temporarily, making Chen Gong unable to step down in front of Han Yin, but he could not force the lord to marry a daughter.

Chen Gong asked Han Yin to stay in Xiapi to prevent any changes, and asked him to send someone to report to Yuan Shu, asking him to follow the etiquette of three letters and six engagements.

Han Yin was under the eaves, and he knew that Lu Bu was moody, so he had to listen to his arrangements.

Gao Shun waited lonely in front of the door. He knew that although Lu Bu was a drinker, he was absolutely unambiguous in front of major events. Now that his wedding date has been postponed, is there really someone to help?

Afterwards Gao Shun went to the mansion to meet Lu Bu, and met Lu Lingqi in the garden on the way. The girl should have got the news, and now that the two of them were happy when they met, she guessed that Lan Tian's plan had taken effect.

"My lord, I heard Mr. Gongtai say that the send-off is being postponed?" When Gao Shun came to the back hall, Lu Bu was dressing and washing. After being disturbed by Chen Gong just now, his drunkenness had gone by eight points.

"Well, you go back to the camp to practice first, there is no rush." ​​Lu Bu said lightly.

"Understood, Mr. Gongtai has a good relationship with Han Yin, I believe he will not miss the Lord's important matter if he explains it." Seeing that Lu Bu's tone changed, Gao Shun made up for it in a timely manner.

Lu Bu wiped off the water stains on his face, paused for a moment, and then said: "You go first, I understand."

At noon, Chen Deng came to invite Lu Bu to the banquet again. Yesterday, the two father and son talked like a tongue, persuading them not to marry Yuan Shu. At this time, Lu Bu's relationship with the Chen family was getting better, so he followed Chen Gui's advice.

What Gao Shun said just now clearly meant something, but Lu Bu didn't understand the relationship and was about to ask Chen Gui for advice.

Chen Gui laughed loudly after hearing this, "Fortunately, the general stopped him in time, this is a plan to keep friends close."

The word "uninterrupted kiss" made Lu Bu suddenly realize that Chen Gong's recent behavior is indeed a bit more attentive.

Chen Deng also said: "Cao Mengde served the emperor to order him not to be a minister. At this time, righteousness was in hand and he formed an alliance with Yuan Benchu ​​of Hebei. The general had a rift with Cao Cao. If he married Yuan Shu now, it would be an enemy of the two... "

"If it wasn't for Yuan Long's reminder, I would have almost caused a catastrophe, so I will respect Mr. Bu." Lu Bu raised his wine glass.

Seeing this, Chen Gui strikes while the iron is hot, "I heard that Han Yin is still staying in Pi, the general, rather than being harassed by him every day, why don't you let him return his birthday first?"

"The public statement is very good." Lu Bu praised the case.

The next day, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong to send Yuan envoy Han Yin away.

Gao Shun was overjoyed immediately, and immediately went to Lu Lingqi to announce the good news. Lu Lingqi was overjoyed when she heard the news, she didn't expect Lan Tian's scheme to be so powerful, and now her respect for this guy increased a bit.

Huainan, Shouchun.

After Han Yin came back to sue, he felt that Lu Bu's request was not unreasonable, but the previous enmity with Liu Bei must be settled. He ordered people to prepare three letters and six appointments, and appointed Ji Ling as the general to lead an army of [-] to attack Xiaopei.

At the end of August, Ji Ling's army headed straight for Xiaopei.

Naturally, Yuan Shu's army could not escape Xuzhou's eyes and ears when he went north. Lu Bu gathered in Xiapi to discuss countermeasures.

Xiao general Cheng Lian said: "The lord took in Liu Bei out of benevolence and righteousness, but this person is very prestigious in Xuzhou, why not use Yuan Shu's hand to destroy him? This way the lord does not have to bear the bad name of harming the virtuous."

Cheng Lian and Zhang Liao followed Lu Bu in Bingzhou, so they won Lu Bu's trust. After he opened his mouth, the rest of the generals remained silent.

Seeing that the generals were silent, Lu Bu turned around and asked Chen Gong for advice.

Because of the previous incident with Han Yin, Chen Gong still had a knot in his heart, he shook his head and said, "Liu Bei and the lord are personal friends, I really can't say anything."

Lu Bu saw that this fellow still had resentment, so he said flatly: "Then follow what Cheng Lian said, and just sit on the sidelines for the time being."

There was no movement from Lu Bu's side, and Liu Bei was immediately dumbfounded. Xiaopei only has a few thousand soldiers now, so there is no way he could be Ji Ling's opponent.

Seeing Liu Bei's bitter expression, Zhang Fei said, "Brother, the soldiers come and cover the water with soil. When Ji Ling comes, I will fight him for [-] rounds first."

"Although the third brother is brave, most of Xiao Pei's soldiers are newly recruited. The eldest brother still has to think of other ways." Guan Yu sighed.

"What do you think? Do you want to ask that villain Lu Bu?" Zhang Fei said.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, "Third brother's words are not bad, wait for me to write a letter and send it to Xiapi."

Ji Ling was attacking Xiaopei, and the people in the city were all terrified.

Gan Qian used the excuse that she wanted to go home to visit her father. When she returned to Gan's Village, she found Lan Tian and said, "My brother, I heard that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu have lost their relationship. Your old plan has been completed. Now Xuande is annoyed by Ji Ling. Also set up a scheme for sister?"

"Sister, I'm afraid that if you meddle in military affairs, it will make Liu Xuande displeased instead." Lan Tian sighed.
