Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest!

Yuan Shu's eyes were red, and the emperor's crown on his head was trembling with anger. He was determined to attack Cao Ang in revenge for being cut off.

For this reason, he even did not hesitate to ask his prospective in-law Lu Bu to join forces!

In the first year of Jian'an, which was last year, Yuan Shu was afraid of his neighbor to the north, Xuzhou Lu Bu, so he sent envoys to marry Lu Bu and ask for Lu Bu's daughter to marry his son. He also sent a lot of grain, grass and generous gifts.

Lu Bu was enlightened by this, so he agreed to get married, but he didn't set a specific date.

After Yuan Shu and Lu Bu became in-laws, he began to attack Liu Bei, who was attached to Lu Bu.

Because before when Liu Bei was the shepherd of Xuzhou, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu in the name of the emperor.

Yuan Shu sent general Ji Ling to lead 30,000 infantry and cavalry to surround Liu Bei.

Liu Bei then asked Lu Bu for help.

At that time, all the generals under Lu Bu's command advised Lu Bu to let it go and watch Liu Bei being attacked and killed by Ji Ling. Anyway, Lu Bu was originally afraid of Liu Bei, the former master of Xuzhou.

Lu Bu was unusually smart and told the generals:"Once Liu Bei is destroyed by Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu's power will be connected with the Taishan thieves north of Xuzhou."

By that time, I will be surrounded by Yuan Shu!"

Obviously, although Lu Bu agreed to marry Yuan Shu, he did not trust Yuan Shu.

So Lu Bu led more than a thousand infantry and cavalry to Xiaopei to rescue Liu Bei, and shot a halberd from the gate with one hand, causing Ji Ling to retreat.

For this reason, Yuan Shu was very He was angry and knew that his in-laws had a big appetite and it was hard to feed them.

From then on, although they made an appointment with their in-laws, no one mentioned it again when Yuan Shu became emperor. Lu Bu was not even informed.

At this moment, Yuan Shu was angry at being intercepted by Cao Ang and decided to send troops to attack Cao Ang, but his subordinate Wen Wu dissuaded Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu thought of Lu Bu, his capricious quasi-in-law. To

Yuan Shu, Lu Bu was like a foot rag. The smell was obviously unbearable to Yuan Shu, but he couldn't throw it away.

The footcloth may get stuck on his face at any time...

But this time, in order to regain the Chen Kingdom and save the loss and face, no matter how bad Lu Bu is, Yuan Shu has to hold his nose and admit it!

"Han Yin, I am sending you as an envoy to Xuzhou to meet Lu Bu with one hundred thousand dendrobiums of grain and grass, five hundred bolts of silk, and one hundred catties of gold cakes, and tell him that I have proclaimed myself emperor.

He also welcomed Lu Bu's daughter on the grounds of welcoming her bride, and at the same time asked him to attack Cao Cao and Cao Ang's father and son together.

If I take Chen State, he can take advantage of the situation and take Pei State!

When the time comes, Lu Bu's daughter will be the crown princess of my Zhong clan and the future queen!"

Yuan Shu waved his hand and looked at Han Yin.

Yan Xiang and other 200 civil and military officials wanted to persuade him again, but Yuan Shu stared at him with bloodshot eyes, as if whoever persuaded him would die, so no one tried to persuade him again. Got it

……

Xuzhou, Xiapi.

Half a day before Yuan Shu's envoy Han Yin arrived with grain, grass, cloth, and silk, Lu Bu also received news of the incident in Chen State.

"snort! Yuan Shu, my relative, proclaimed himself emperor without telling me. It was a good thing that he didn't want to think about me, so he sent Zhang Kai to attack Chen Guo.

In the end, he failed to steal the chicken but lost the rice, and was killed by Cao Ang. The Chen Kingdom also fell into Cao Ang's hands.

Yuan Shu made Cao Ang's wedding dress this time!"

In the hall, Lu Bu laughed heartily. He did not feel sympathy for Yuan Shu, who was a close relative of his family. Instead, he was full of ridicule.

Although he had made an appointment with his in-laws, the marriage of his children was not as important as the king's hegemony.

Yuan Shu was Lu Bu's strong neighbor. , is also a competitor!

If Yuan Shu, a powerful neighbor, becomes stronger, it will not be a good thing for Lu Bu.

Since ancient times, father and son have fought against each other for power.

Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao were even brothers. How could Lu Bu think that Yuan Shu's in-laws were reliable if they didn't interact with each other?

On the side, Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu laughing happily, with a heavy expression on his face.

Although he didn't want Yuan Shu, his neighbor, to be too powerful, Chen Gong couldn't help it. He also doesn't want to see Cao Cao become stronger.

Cao Cao has already occupied Yanzhou and a small part of Yuzhou, holding the emperor in power.

Although his power is not as good as that of Yuan Shao, he is still much stronger than Lu Bu.

Now Cao Ang is in charge. Chen Guo, getting food and fodder for Chen Guo's soldiers is tantamount to making Cao Cao and his son stronger. This is also not a good thing for Lu Bu's emperor and ministers in Xuzhou! However

, Lu Bu now only sees Yuan Shu being defeated and gloating about it. He didn't think much about what happened after Cao Ang conquered the Chen Kingdom...

So Chen Gong said:"General, you shouldn't be happy that Yuan Shu is defeated, but you should be worried about Cao Cao and his son conquering the Chen Kingdom!

Cao Cao held the emperor hostage to command the princes. He was originally a fierce tiger. Now that he has Cao Ang, the son of a unicorn, the oriole has conquered Chen State in vain.

The strength of Cao Cao and his son cannot be underestimated.

If Yuan Shu weakens, I am afraid that the next one Cao Cao and his son will take is the general!

And I'm afraid that there is something fishy about Cao Ang's acquisition of Chen State.

Why did Cao Ang lead his army to Ruyang to garrison half a month before Yuan Shu sent Zhang Kai to attack Chen State.

And why did Cao Ang happen to be in the territory of Chen State on the day Zhang Kai launched a surprise attack on Chen State?

Although they claim to be farming and collecting grain, there are reasons.

But the reason is too good, so good that (bcdi) it is almost impossible to see the flaw, but it makes people suspicious.……"

Chen Gong's words made Lu Bu's originally gloating expression calm down, and some thoughts appeared in his eyes.

The next moment, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said:"Gongtai, when Cao Cao's son Cao Ang was in Wancheng, he used a trick to force Zhang Xiu Jia Xu to retreat. He was very resourceful.

Previously, Yuan Shao's envoy Tian Feng went to Xudu to challenge���, Cao Ang made a bet with Tian Feng and showed off his shooting skills.

Now in Chen State, whether he was lucky enough to get Chen State or he had the intention to take Chen State for a long time, it all shows that Cao Ang is talented and capable and has good luck.

What if I break off my relationship with Yuan Shu, betroth my daughter to Cao Ang, and marry Cao Cao as my son and daughter?"

Lü Bu's words made Chen Gong startled and a little caught off guard.

He wanted to persuade Lü Bu sincerely that Cao Cao and his son were more dangerous enemies and should be careful.

But after Lü Bu listened, he was thinking about re-proposing his daughter to Cao Ang......

Taking a deep breath and resisting the urge to pry open Lu Bu's head to see what was inside, Chen Gong shook his head and said:"No, General!

Although Cao Ang was an outstanding strategist, brave and good at shooting, he was Cao Cao's son after all.

What a treacherous person Cao Cao is. If the general becomes an in-law with him, then in the name of the emperor and his in-laws, Cao Cao will ask the general to attack Yuan Shu. Will the general attack?

If we were to attack Yuan Shu, let alone the fact that the general's troops were far inferior to Yuan Shu's.

Even if the general's men are brave enough to defeat Yuan Shu, both sides will suffer losses."

"At that time, how could Cao Cao miss the opportunity to take advantage of the general's weakness to annex him in one fell swoop?

When the general marries Yuan Shu, he is wary of Yuan Shu's deceit. How can he dream of marrying a treacherous person like Cao Cao?"

Chen Gong's words made Lu Bu's eyes calm down a little. He nodded thoughtfully without answering.

To be honest, Lu Bu could understand what Chen Gong said.

But when he thought of Cao Ang's After all these performances, Lu Bu felt that Cao Ang had both talent and virtue, and was as brave as he was when he was young.

As a parent, when choosing a spouse for your children, you will certainly consider the pros and cons, but to be honest, Lu Bu admired Cao Ang. If Cao Ang can be his son-in-law, Lu Bu will be proud of his father-in-law.

After all, who doesn't want his children and his spouse to be the best among men?

What's more, Lu Bu claims to be the best in the world. A hero, even if he is not a hero, is still a hero.

A hero cherishes a hero. It is a beautiful thing to think about marrying his daughter to a hero.

To say the least, even if the in-laws are not reliable, Cao Ang is as good as Yuan Shu's son. Compared with the Bright Moon's Light and the Insect of Yinghuo, even if there is a battle in the future, someone will win and someone will lose. I am afraid that it will be Cao Cao and Cao Ang who will have the last laugh.

By then, even if Lu Bu is defeated, if it is Cao Ang. His son-in-law should also care about his kindness and spare his life, right?

I have to say that Lu Bu's thinking is really different.

Sometimes he is clear and knowledgeable, and sometimes he is short-sighted and like a child.

It was probably God who gave Lu Bu invincible strength, but when it was shaping his wisdom, it connected the wrong string and often short-circuited it...

Just as Lu Bu was thinking about it, someone suddenly came to report:"My lord, , Yuan Shu from Huainan sent an envoy to ask for an audience with his lord."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

I heard that Yuan Shu sent people���Well, even though Lu Bu had just laughed at this cheap relative, he also restrained himself at this moment.

He looked at Chen Gong and summoned Yuan Shu's envoy.

"My Majesty, Han Yin, has come to inform the general of His Majesty's proclaimed emperor on the orders of His Majesty Zhong.

He also brought 100,000 hu of grain and grass, 500 bolts of silk, and 100 catties of gold cakes as a means to marry the general's daughter.

My Majesty will make the young master the crown prince, and the daughter of the general will be the crown princess if she marries.[]

She will be the queen in the future……"

As an envoy, Han Yin relied on his words.

Although the main purpose of Yuan Shu sending him here was to engage Lu Bu to attack Cao Cao and Cao Ang and his son together, Han Yin did not say this at the beginning.

Instead, he first submitted the gift list to win the favor of the host, and then brought up the matter of welcoming the bride, and painted a picture for Lu Bu that his daughter would be the crown prince and queen's cake.

In this way, I am afraid no one can refuse the sweet dates in front of me and the big cake in the future.

At this time, if you enter the room and make a request, things will be much easier to handle.

However, Lu Bu's reaction was not as happy as Han Yin thought, but rather indifferent.

Little did he know that Lu Bu had already learned about Cao Ang's entry into the Chen Kingdom, and he was thinking about betrothing his daughter to Cao Ang so that he could benefit from the glory of the old Cao family.

At this moment, how could he be interested in Yuan Shu's messenger?

Lu Bu even felt that the magic envoy came at the wrong time.

Under normal circumstances, perhaps Lu Bu would be very happy with the gift from Yuan Shu.

But at this moment Lu Bu had something on his mind, so he felt that the gift from Yuan Shu was no longer so fragrant.

One hundred thousand dendrobium for grain and grass?

It sounds like a lot, but Dendrobium is divided into big Dendrobium and small Dendrobium.

A large dendrobium is about the same as a stone, while a small dendrobium is only equivalent to a bucket or a few buckets.

Since Yuan Shu's envoy called it one hundred thousand dendrobium grains and grass instead of one hundred thousand stone, it means that it is small dendrobium.

In total, it is only ten thousand to tens of thousands of stones of food and grass at most.

Although it is not a small amount, for a prince, it is only one or two months' ration for his soldiers.

As for five hundred bolts of silk and one hundred catties of gold cakes, they were not thin gifts, but it was not like Lu Bu had never seen these things in his life.

When he was the adopted son of Dong Zhuo and was won over by Wang Yun when he was young, these gold silks were given to Lu Bu in trays.

Seeing Lu Bu's mediocre reaction and noncommittal attitude, Han Yin immediately looked a little embarrassed.

However, Chen Gong watched from the side and quickly spoke to smooth things over:"My general also just learned about your Majesty's defeat in the Chen Kingdom. He is grieving for his family, so he is a little uneasy."

Han Yin heard what Chen Gong said, Then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Lu Bu's face just now, he thought that Lu Bu had been bribed by Cao Cao and wanted to kill him.

"The general is kind to me, and I appreciate it for my Majesty.

It's just a small defeat for Chen Guo.

My Majesty has hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and generals under his command, and he has plenty of food and supplies.

Just a few thousand damages is nothing."

Han Yin first boasted about Yuan Shu's strength and respected his majesty, and then said:"Because of the incident of that concubine Cao Ang cutting off Hu, my majesty wants to send heavy troops to conquer the state of Chen.

If this happens, Cao Cao will definitely send troops from Xudu to support his son Cao Ang.

At that time, my Majesty will contain Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son head-on. The general can lead his elite troops and take advantage of the situation to attack Pei and Liang.

This makes Cao Cao unable to care about each other!

After this is accomplished, my majesty will take over the state of Chen, and the general will take over the state of Pei and Liang.

Then the two families would join forces to divide Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Yuzhou. Wouldn't it be beautiful?"

Han Yin is in this business after all, and he is very eloquent.

These words sounded very tempting, and Lu Bu couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Chen Gong, who was on the side, even indicated with his eyes that Lu Bu could agree.

In Chen Gong's eyes In Gong's view, Cao Cao is Xuzhou's number one enemy. Now that Cao Ang has emerged, it is a knife hanging over Lu Bu's head. If he can join forces with Yuan Shu, he can attack Nanyang. If you join forces with Zhang Xiu, you will have greater certainty! Even if you can't destroy Cao Cao, your strength will be greatly reduced!

As for how to get along with Yuan Shu in the future, it all depends on everyone's thoughts.

The elite troops of Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's Yanmen cavalry were not afraid of Yuan Shu!

However, under the expectant gazes of Chen Gong and Han Yin, Lu Bu's obviously agitated face suddenly jumped and became calm. :"Let me discuss this matter. Sir, please go to the hotel to rest first."

With that said, he stood up and left.

"general……"

Chen Gong and Han Yin looked at Lu Bu's back and opened their mouths helplessly, but Lu Bu had already gone away.

"Gongtai, you have to persuade General Lu for me!

That Cao Cao is treacherous, and his son Cao Ang is not a thing in the pond. If he doesn't take it now, he will definitely have his plans in the future!"

Han Yin looked at Chen Gong anxiously.

Chen Gong nodded with a stern expression:"Don't worry, sir, let me find an opportunity to make suggestions to the general and make sure to facilitate this matter!"

Just when Han Yin and Chen Gong were discussing how to get Lu Bu to agree to send troops, Lu Bu happened to go out of the mansion and wanted to ride a red rabbit to the school grounds for a ride.

In fact, he was hesitant in his heart and didn't know how to make a decision, so he wanted to go for a ride. Think about it.

People who grew up in the border areas are the most relaxed and happy when they are on horseback.

Just when Lu Bu was about to get on the horse, he saw a gray-haired figure leaning on a cane. Coming in a hurry, it was Chen Gui, a well-known local man from Xuzhou who once served as Prime Minister of Pei State. Like Luo Jun, Prime Minister of Chen State, he had retired from office.

He learned that Yuan Shu's envoy came to see Lu Bu. He immediately guessed something, so he hurried to see Lu Bu

"Did Yuan Shu come to marry the general and ask him to attack Cao Cao?"

Chen Gui got straight to the point.

Lu Bu nodded and said,"How does the doctor know?

Chen Gui stamped his feet and said,"General, you are confused!" That Yuan Shu has arrogated the title of emperor and is a traitor to the Han Dynasty. If the general marries him, he is a relative of the traitor!

Once Yuan Shu fails, the general will also be implicated! Lu

Bu was silent for a moment and said,"But Chen Gong said that Cao Cao's father���This is a serious problem in Xuzhou, so I am advised to marry Yuan Shu, attack Cao Cao together, and carve up Yanzhou and Yuzhou.

Chen Gui sighed and said:"The general is confused. Although Cao Cao used the emperor to control the princes, he represented the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty."

The general and Yuan Shu are attacking Cao Cao. The emperor issued an edict, calling on the world to be diligent, and then all the princes in the world will be ordered to attack the general and Yuan Shu!

Chen Gong was originally a minister of Cao Cao, but later he had a grudge against Cao Cao, so he surrendered to the general.

Because he had enmity with Cao Cao, he did not want the general to unite with Cao Cao. How could the general be deceived by him?

If they were to marry, wouldn't Cao Ang, Cao Cao's son, now famous everywhere, be better than Yuan Shu's son?"

Chen Gui's words immediately strengthened Lu Bu's heart:"The doctor said it well, Yuan Shu's son is a dog with ears, and he is a big rebel!

My tiger girl deserves to be matched with the Qilin son of the Cao family!".
