As soon as Song Xian said this, everyone rolled their eyes. Chen Gong quickly said: "Even if we want to form an alliance with Yuan Gongli, we can't completely break up with Yuan Benchu for the time being. Otherwise, what will happen if he forces all the Jizhou troops to attack Hanoi?"
?”
"It is difficult for us to deal with Cao Cao. If we add the power of Jizhou and Youzhou, how can we resist it?"
Chen Gong was really afraid that Lü Bu would believe Song Xian. After all, Lü Bu had a soft heart. If the boss really killed Chen Gui, it would be really troublesome.
Moreover, Chen Gui's identity was sensitive. He was a famous scholar in Xuzhou. How could he kill him just by asking?
Thinking of this, Chen Gong felt very tired. Most of Lu Bu's men were Liangzhou soldiers and generals, and they acted unscrupulously, just like those Baibo thieves.
How can these people conquer the world?
He said: "Marquis Wen, it is not appropriate to make any more enemies at this time. Chenliu County is still besieged by Cao Cao, and brothers Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao have been trapped for several months. Now we need to think carefully about what to do next."
After hearing this, all the generals felt something. Zhang Miao welcomed Lu Bu to Yanzhou, and Lu Bu had his own territory. Now if he refuses to save him, it seems a bit unjustifiable, right?
After hearing this, Lu Bu looked around at everyone and said, "Zhang Miao treats me well. Now Cao Cao is in a hurry to attack. I am going to send troops to rescue him. What do you think?"
When all the generals heard this, they all said, "Listen to Marquis Wen's order."
Lu Bu asked again: "Which of you wants to lead the troops?"
All the generals were silent after hearing this. Most of them had been defeated by Cao Cao. If life and death were unpredictable in the past, it would not be a good job.
Lu Bu was anxious and pointed at Chen Gong: "Gongtai, who do you want to send?"
Chen Gong pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Chen Gui will arrive in a few days. How about waiting for him to come over and listen to his terms before making a decision?"
"Wouldn't it be better if we could influence Yuan Benzhu through Yuan Xi and make Cao Cao stop, so that we don't need to mobilize troops?"
Lu Bu looked happy after hearing this, "Is this possible?"
“Then it’s Mr. Labor Office!”
Chen Gong sighed deeply in his heart. He himself was unsure, and during negotiations, both parties had to exchange conditions. What benefits could Lu Bu give to Yuan Xi?
I heard that the fierce tiger of the Yuan family has made Youzhou prosperous these days and is recruiting troops. In two years, if Marquis Wen is still so unwilling to make progress, I am afraid that his strength will not be as good as his opponent!
Moreover, this fierce tiger is backed by Jizhou, so why does it need to join forces with Marquis Wen?
This is what Chen Gong couldn't figure out. He thought that the other party didn't want to marry Marquis Wen, right?
Thinking of this, Chen Gong's body trembled, maybe it was really possible!
I heard that the ferocious tiger of the Yuan family is quite lustful and full of cunning schemes. If he had an idea of Marquis Wen's daughter, he would not only be able to make friends with Lu Bu, but also destroy the marriage between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu!
The more Chen Gong thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was right. If this was the case, did the Yuan family's fierce tiger want to join forces with Wen Hou in plotting to merge the state?
Chen Gong's body was shaken again, this must be the truth!
Except for the direction of Bingzhou, Youzhou can no longer expand to the adjacent Qingzhou of Jizhou, so the fierce tiger has the idea of Bingzhou!
This guy is far-sighted!
But if this is really the case, we can take advantage of this and make it work for Marquis Wen!
A few days later, a motorcade arrived in Huaicheng, and in a carriage was Chen Gui.
He went all the way south from Zhuojun to Juluweijun in Zhongshan, Jizhou, and then arrived in Hanoi. The long journey made him quite tired.
He also didn't understand why Yuan Xi asked him to serve as a special envoy. Before the trip, he expressed his doubts to Yuan Xi, feeling that his trip might not achieve the goal as Yuan Xi hoped.
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Mr. Han Yu, just go ahead and do it. Your own safety is the top priority. If you encounter danger, I will have someone over there to help you."
Chen Gui sighed: "I have lived a long time, and I have long ignored life and death. I am afraid that I am not strong enough to fulfill the master's entrustment."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "If sir can't do it, others can't do it either."
He talked about the marriage between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and finally said: "I don't want this to happen, and I think your husband doesn't want to see it either."
After hearing this, Chen Gui suddenly realized, "That's it!"
"I and Yuan Shu are at odds with each other, and this time it will definitely ruin his affairs!"
There is a reason why Chen Gui hates Yuan Shu so much.
At the beginning, Yuan Shu coveted Xuzhou and knew that the Chen family, as a wealthy family in Xuzhou, had an important position, so he detained Chen Ying, Chen Gui's second son, and wrote to Chen Gui to recruit him.
The letter revealed his ambition to become emperor, and at the same time promised Chen Gui the position of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers. In Yuan Shu's view, he had captured Chen Gui's family, and then promised him a high official and generous salary. How could Chen Gui not agree?
The result was beyond Yuan Shu's expectation. Chen Gui directly wrote back and scolded Yuan Shu. After this incident, Chen Gui and Yuan Shu fell out completely. The whereabouts of his second son Chen Ying were also missing, and he was afraid that he was in danger.
Now that Chen Gui heard that Yuan Shu wanted to collude with Lu Bu, old and new hatreds rushed into his heart. His son was killed, why would he not think of ways to take revenge on Yuan Shu?
In the center of the back courtyard of the Lu Mansion, Lu Lingqi was holding a halberd. When she shook her hand, the halberd flew up and down with great agility. It was obvious that she had mastered the skill of halberd.
She danced dozens of moves, sweating slightly on her forehead, then her arms shook, sheathed her halberd and stood still.
Mrs. Du saw it and hurriedly brought the tea. Lu Lingqi made a coo, raised her head and poured the tea down her throat. Mrs. Du couldn't help but smile bitterly, and advised: "Girl, slow down."
Lu Lingqi chuckled, flicked her fingers, and the tea bowl started spinning on her fingertips, but no matter how much it rolled, it didn't fall down.
She turned to Qu Yi and said, "Sir, how's my practice going?"
Qu Yi was sitting under the tree, but he was a little distracted. He stared at the sky. Lu Lingqi yelled twice more before she came back to her senses.
Qu Yi shook his head and said to Lu Lingqi: "To be honest, girls are not suitable for weapons like halberds."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi asked doubtfully: "Sir, what do you mean, is that I don't have enough understanding of the halberd technique?"
Qu Yi replied: "This has nothing to do with understanding. The girl has too little exposure to other weapons and has encountered a bottleneck."
"The girl only saw the ferociousness of Marquis Wen's halberd skills, but she should also understand that whether it was archery, horsemanship or swordsmanship, Marquis Wen was a master of martial arts. Only after mastering them can one understand the higher level of martial arts principles."
"Nowadays, girls specialize in halberd skills and cannot broaden their horizons. They always lack a little bit of meaning."
Lu Lingqi listened thoughtfully, and after a while she raised her head happily and said, "Sir, you are really awesome!"
"Starting from today, I will practice sword skills!"
Qu Yi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Lingqi running happily to Lu Bu for a knife.
He was actually fooling Lu Lingqi.
Lu Lingqi had already mastered his halberd skills, and there was nothing more to teach him. However, for various reasons, he still had to stay in Lu Mansion, so he was stalling for time.
But the calculation was quick, Qu Yi had already received the news, and Youzhou had sent a special envoy to negotiate with Lu Bu.
The next step for Qu Yi is to cooperate quietly to break up Lu Bu and Yuan Shu and persuade him to welcome the emperor. The best result is to bring Liu Xie to Hanoi County!
But this was a bit difficult, because after getting in touch with Qu Yi these days, he discovered that Chen Gong, a counselor who was deeply trusted by Lu Bu, was actually biased towards Yuan Shu.
Thinking of this, Qu Yi felt even more headache. He was a general who went into battle to kill the enemy, and he was really not very good at these intrigues.
When Qu Yi received Yuan Xi's letter that day, he also wrote that he was quite helpless, telling Qu Yi that Yuan Xi no longer knew anyone close to Lu Bu.
Qu Yi agreed without much thought at the time, but when he arrived in Hanoi, he found that the matter was far more complicated than he imagined. The generals under Lu Bu's command seemed to have their own thoughts, and few were willing to express their opinions.
Now Qu Yi can only think of ways to deal with Lu Lingqi, hoping that he can't persuade Lu Bu.
The key is, how can I impress Lu Lingqi?
Tell her that the Yuan family's fierce tiger and hidden tiger are the same person?
Then I guess Lu Lingqi will complain directly to Lu Bu and mess up the matter directly, right?
When Qu Yizheng was bored, Lu Lingqi ran back again with a bad look on her face.
Du Shi saw it and said loudly: "What happened to the girl? Could it be that Marquis Wen said something about it?"
"Marquis Wen treats the girl very well, so there shouldn't be any words of criticism, right?"
Lu Lingqi stamped her feet and said, "Madam is still making fun of me. I am worried about Madam."
Du Shi asked puzzledly: "What's wrong?"
Lu Lingqi asked anxiously: "Do you know, Madam, that Governor Zhang Yang served the Emperor and was granted the title of Marquis?"
Du Shi nodded and said, "I heard that the prefect was granted the title of General of Anguo and Marquis of Jinyang."
So what, she thought to herself, the official titles given by the emperor were all false, what did they have to do with her?
Lu Lingqi sighed and said, "Does Madam know that Sui Gu Yang Chou, the general under the prefect, has also been promoted?"
"Now that Yang Chou is back to collect food and grass, he really took the opportunity to send the betrothal gift to the house and said that he wants to marry his wife."
Yang Chou had long coveted Du, but he was a terrible person and had a vulgar appearance, and Du was not willing to do so.
After hearing this, Mrs. Du said softly: "I am already an abandoned wife. If I remarry, I still need my approval. Now that I don't agree, what can he do?"
Lu Lingqi hesitated and said: "I heard that my mother has already agreed on behalf of my wife,"
After hearing this, Mrs. Du suddenly felt like the world was spinning. She turned pale and hissed: "How can Madam make the decision for me?"
Lu Lingqi looked ashamed, "My mother said that the master is like my father. As the mistress, she can naturally make the decision."
"My mother also asked me to comfort my wife, saying that I am about to get married. If my wife stays in the house, there will be rumors, so it is better to remarry as soon as possible."
"He also said that it would be best to get things done in the next few days."
After hearing this, Mrs. Du said bitterly: "Girl, stop talking, I won't marry anyone!"
Lu Lingqi also knew that what her mother did was unkind. After all, she was always on guard against her father, and there was really no reason to make the decision for Du.
But now that the matter has come to this, what can she, a daughter, do?
Looking at Mrs. Du's appearance, she felt even more ashamed and thought, could this be what happened?
Du Shi took care of herself a lot these days, could he bear to push her into a pit of fire?
Lu Lingqi ran out of ideas for a moment. She raised her head and saw Qu Yi taking a nap under the tree.
