Chapter 159: I finally lived, making myself hate it
According to records in ancient books and documents, during the Three Kingdoms period, there was an incredible groom-robbing incident, which took place on the border of Soochow.
That was Liu Bei's personal expedition to Soochow to avenge Guan Yu. He was so powerful that he soon broke into the gate of Soochow, and the people of Soochow were panic-stricken.
According to the system at that time, when Soochow launched a large-scale military conscription and a war broke out, a man over the age of fourteen must be sent to join the army. In addition, unmarried women over the age of fourteen would be forced to go to the front line.
Provide some indescribable services to the soldiers, in order to comfort the three armies and increase the enthusiasm of men to join the army.
Naturally, the common people do not want their daughters to go to the front line and do unspeakable things...
Therefore, there is a phenomenon of soliciting men from everywhere to get married.
Just imagine, you viewers are walking on the streets of Soochow, and you are grabbed by someone for no reason, and then begging you... to let you marry his daughter, not only without any betrothal gift, without three gold, without a car, a house, or money,
Dowry also comes with a car and a house... If you really don't like it, it doesn't matter. Back on the street, there are girls from other families waiting for you to marry...
I heard that in Soochow at that time, parents of girls would shout everywhere in the middle of the night: "Is anyone getting up? Hurry up and get married...the wedding room is ready!"
Of course, if you are more upright... tell them, sorry, I already have a wife, then the parents of these girls will still have longing expressions on their faces. "Master, do you mind marrying one more!"
There is even a serious shortage of men in the future, and there are many people who marry two, three, or four...
As the saying goes, "It is a great blessing to find a husband when you go out." As long as you marry, not to mention giving you a car or a house, it doesn't matter if you are given a few extra people to fill the house. Everything can be compromised!
Lu Yu didn't know how exaggerated the scene was at that time...
However, it is not an exaggeration to say...at this moment, facing Xiahou Dun's determined eyes filled with hope, Lu Yu's confusion and surprise were no less than theirs.
Lu Yu could somewhat understand their mood.
"Good brother? Why don't you speak? Don't you want to recognize me as your old brother?" Seeing Lu Yu's complicated expression, Xiahou Dun spoke.
"General Xiahou, I want to be quiet!" Lu Yu blurted out...
"Why are you quiet? You should think about what you should say when you face this 'Golden Lanpu', face the gods, and face the testimonies of old brothers like me..."
Uh... Lu Yu looked around, and dozens of pairs of eyes shot towards him, and four big words appeared in everyone's eyes - look forward to it.
Lu Yu thought...there is no way to escape this sworn relationship today.
Then... simply... stop hiding.
Isn't it just that Xiahou Dun is a little older... He, Lu Yu, suffers a little, but it's actually nothing...
After careful calculation, Lu Yu's sister Cai Zhaoji calls Lao Cao her brother, and Xiahou Dun calls Lao Cao his brother. So... Lu Yu calls Xiahou Dun "eldest brother"... Not only is there no problem in terms of seniority, it's also very appropriate!
After thinking about this section, Lu Yu simply changed his words. "Brother Xiahou thinks so highly of me, I, Lu Yu, am flattered..."
In a nutshell... Lu Yu also burned incense and bowed. "In this first bow, Brother Xiahou and I are happy to meet our close friends, and willows answer the altar with smiles!"
After getting up, Lu Yu bowed again. "With this second bow, I wish that Brother Xiahou and I will serve our country with generosity, make great achievements and display our talents!"
Lu Yu stood up again and bowed for the third time: "This third prayer is that Brother Xiahou and I are loyal and courageous. We stick together in times of adversity. We vow not to be separated, and we will never change in life or death! Heaven, earth, sun and moon strengthen our brotherhood!"
Lu Yu's words were louder and louder than the last, and his words were as powerful as the rainbow...
By the end, he was almost singing!
After all, the lyrics of the song "Brother Huan" are very appropriate. Why aren't they more novel than the tacky "Born on the same day, same year, same month, same day, same year, same month, same day"?
After Lu Yu's three bows, Xiahou Dun was slightly startled. My dear brother is so talented...
Xiahou Dun also wanted to say something...
But... when the words came to my mouth, I didn’t know what to say. After all, I suffered the loss of being uneducated.
"What the wise brother just said is also what the foolish brother is thinking... There are thousands of words, but the foolish brother only has one sentence left." Xiahou Dun held Lu Yu's hand... "We brothers will live and die together, and share weal and woe!"
Well…
At this moment, Lu Yu was not moved at all when he saw the sworn brotherhood plot in the TV series, maybe because they were not worshiping Guan Gong and there was no sense of ceremony!
In addition, Lu Yu felt pain in his hand... Damn it, Xiahou Dun's hand was so strong that Lu Yu felt his wrist was numb!
"It's good to share weal and woe... Big brother and I will definitely share weal and woe!"
Finally... after completing the basic steps of marrying Jinlan, Lu Yu was thinking... is it over?
Although...it's not a big deal to swore sworn homage to Xiahou Dun, it's just a bit taxing on your arms and hands!
Lu Yu thought that if he didn't exercise his body well, he would probably not be able to withstand the heavy blow to his soul that Xiahou Dun would hit him on the shoulder regardless of whether he was in trouble or not.
"Brother Xiahou..." Lu Yu's tone was as usual!
"Good brother!" Xiahou Dun's tone was extremely solemn, his eyes were a little blurry, and even... the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little more evil!
That’s right, it’s evil!
The atmosphere was so bad that Lu Yu felt a little embarrassed.
"Ahem... Brother Xiahou, actually... Brother Yu still has something to do! Otherwise... I'll go first..."
Lu Yu wanted to run away, but he felt quite uncomfortable here.
Who would have thought that Xiahou Dun had no intention of letting Lu Yu go at all: "Nothing is more important than our brothers having a good time. Come... Dear brother, let me solemnly introduce to you that these are all my brothers. From now on,
…They are all your brothers!"
As soon as I finished speaking...
"I, Liu Erhu, offer a bowl to Brother Lu Xian..." A veteran walked up to Lu Yu... holding two bowls of wine in his hands, he drank it all without saying a word.
Lu Yu was too embarrassed to refute his face, so he drank it all in one gulp. "Lu Yu pays homage to Brother Erhu!"
Hahaha…
After a burst of laughter, another veteran walked up to Lu Yu. "I, Qian Laosan, give Lu Xiandi a bowl..."
Well…
Lu Yu had an ominous premonition in his heart. Sure enough, as he walked around, each of the more than seventy veterans had two bowls of wine in their hands!
This... Daqing has done this one bowl, and there are more than seventy bowls?
Suddenly, Lu Yu felt a little confused...
Just then.
Several more veterans gathered around. "I wonder if Brother Lu Xian can get married? Ah... Haha, most people like Brother Lu Xian already have wives, right? In fact, it doesn't matter... I just don't know if Brother Lu Xian would mind having one more?"
I have two daughters... In their golden years, they have a deep friendship... I just want to marry the same one..."
Before the veteran could finish speaking, Xiahou Dun stopped him in front of Lu Yu. "Old Li Tou, how could this be possible? I treat Lu Xiandi as my brother, what do you mean by treating him as my son-in-law? Are you thinking that you are a generation above me, Xiahou Dun?"
Son?"
Hahaha…
The veteran, known as Lao Litou, smiled and replied. "They are two different things. They are clearly two different things. Even though... Lu Xiandi and I have this brother-in-law relationship, then Lu Xiandi and I must also discuss things on our own terms."
Well, I call him Xiandi, and he can just call me father-in-law... This way, Brother Yuanrang, you won't suffer any loss... Hahaha..."
"No, no, no!" Xiahou Dun introduced while waving his hands. "Brother, don't listen to this old Li Tou. He was my former aide. An aide, like you, has a lot of ideas, but...
They are all full of evil!"
Ah...ah?
Lu Yu was slightly stunned. He felt... was he shot while lying down?
This idea only appeared for a moment, and soon... Lu Yu was drowned in wine again. Your uncle, he is really drunk. He just poured beer into his stomach. He can't play like this...
I'm sorry, being sworn sworn brother to Xiahou Dun is not only a waste of wine, but also a waste of energy!
…
…
Xuzhou, at the border of Xiapi City.
More than 6,000 Bingzhou wolf cavalry were waiting in formation. Each one of them looked quite embarrassed, and some were slightly injured. In addition, their cheeks showed signs of fatigue. Apparently... they had been riding for more than ten days in a row.
I traveled through the starry night and crossed Yuzhou before arriving here.
At this moment... they did not choose to set up camp, nor did they choose to take a step forward.
This is a gesture. They want to make it clear to Liu Bei, the owner of Xiapi City here, that they are not here to attack the city, but we are here to sincerely surrender and be loyal.
As early as half an hour ago, Zhang Liao had gone to Xiapi City with a letter to meet Liu Bei. It is still unknown whether Liu Bei will take them in!
Everyone is waiting anxiously.
At this moment, at the head of the six thousand Bingzhou wolf cavalry, the two men on horseback were Lu Bu and Chen Gong.
The battle in Puyang greatly exceeded their expectations, but... Lu Bu did not blame Chen Gong, because... in his opinion, Chen Gong's strategy was perfect...
The reason why they were defeated was because they were defeated by Cao Ying's magic soldiers who were as sharp as clay and their indestructible armor!
Lu Bu felt that even if Cao Cao planned to attack the city from three sides that night, but... if the south gate... Lu Bu wiped out the enemy fast enough, he would definitely be able to return to the three gates in time...
Who would have thought that a few hundred cavalry who were stubbornly resisting could hold off Lu Bu's main force for so long, and even managed to keep up with them in the end!
This battle... was defeated by the sword, defeated by the armor, and had nothing to do with strategy!
"Mr. Gongtai, don't think about the battle at Puyang. I don't blame you for this battle. I only blame my Bingzhou soldiers for their poor front and weak armor."
Seeing that Chen Gong's expression was still ugly, Lu Bu comforted him and said...
Chen Gong waved his hand, how could he not know that this was a relief?
But... Cao Cao's strategy was still beyond his expectation. He, Chen Gong, was just following his plan... Cao Cao was also following his plan, but in the end... Chen Gong, his master, made a mistake!
Although...he tried not to think about it...but a defeat was a defeat. Every time he thought about it, how could he feel better?
It’s just that now... it’s not the time to be depressed or annoyed, you have to find a way to make up for it.
"Fengxian, I have long forgotten about Puyang City. The only thing I can think of now is Xiapi City. Today, with our power, the only thing we can plan is Liu Bei's Xiapi City!"
Chen Gong's implication is... Looking at the world, we are the weak persimmons. Likewise, Liu Bei is also considered a soft persimmon!
If you want to gain a foothold in this troubled world, the only ones who can plot are soft persimmons.
Although Lu Bu's IQ is not high, Chen Gong's words can still be understood.
He immediately asked: "Mr. Gongtai, what if Liu Bei doesn't let us enter the city? What should we do?"
this…
Chen Gong paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No, don't worry, Fengxian, Liu Bei will definitely welcome us into the city!"
Hmm…
Lu Bu was still confused. "Why is this?"
"Three reasons." Chen Gong said with a smile. "First, Liu Bei is the master of benevolence. If we come to join us, if he doesn't welcome us, it will violate his benevolence, and other talented people will naturally be discouraged.
,Liu Bei is a smart man and will not make such a mistake!"
"Secondly, if the general kills the Dong thief, it will be a great feat for the Han Dynasty. Liu Bei claims to be loyal to the Han Dynasty, so how can he dare to be thousands of miles away from the general? Doesn't this violate his reputation of supporting the Han Dynasty!"
Speaking of this, Chen Gong paused for a moment, raised his head and looked into the distance. He was still waiting... for the dust and smoke to rise in the distance, and for the horse to come from the distance.
Chen Gong continued:
"Third...Liu Bei's biggest enemies now are Cao Cao and Yuan Shu. He can't defeat Cao Cao, and he can't defeat Yuan Shu. He really needs the help of the general! And...Xiapi City and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao have a land bordering each other, named
Called 'Xiaopei', Liu Bei really needs one person to be stationed in Xiaopei as a buffer zone between him and Yuan Shu and Cao Cao!"
Chen Gong’s analysis is indeed incisive...
Not to mention Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness, and his actions to support the Han Dynasty, just... this buffer zone is an incisive analysis!
Cao Cao used Liu Bei as a buffer zone between him and Yuan Shu. Why didn't Liu Bei ever think of... He also found someone to be a buffer zone between Liu Bei and Cao Cao and Yuan Shu!
In this way, if Yuan Shu and Cao Cao want to take action against Liu Bei, they must first defeat Lu Bu, the watchdog. For this reason, they must accept Lu Bu and unite with Lu Bu... This will benefit Liu Bei without any harm!
Of course, this is for Lu Bu, who sincerely likes each other. If... Lu Bu and Chen Gong have other ideas, it will be another story.
"Mr. Gongtai..." Lu Bu continued to ask. "Then what if Liu Bei takes us in? What should we do next? Are we willing to be his watchdog and defend him against the attacks of Cao Cao and Yuan Shu?"
call…
Hearing this, Chen Gong breathed out softly.
"What's wrong with a dog? Fengxian, please don't speak so harshly. It's not clear who is whose watchdog?"
Speaking of this, Chen Gong narrowed his eyes slightly. "As far as I know, the forces in Xiapi City are complicated, and we have a lot to do!"
"The detailed division of power is divided into three forces. Liu Bei is united with the common people faction headed by Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang. The celebrity faction headed by Chen Si and Chen Deng has always had a grudge against the common people faction, and has not really
I am sincerely convinced, and the Danyang faction headed by Cao Bao has not handed over military power... In other words, Liu Bei's position as the governor of Pi City is not stable now!"
"So... what do you mean, sir?"
Lu Bu asked urgently... At this moment, a wisp of burning flame suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Bu seemed to smell the smell of Xiapi City... This is the smell of meat!
"Hahaha..." Chen Gong waved his hand. "The leader of the Danyang sect, Cao Bao, has a daughter named Cao Yuan. She is a young girl. I heard that she is ordinary in appearance and has a strong personality. No young master in Xuzhou dares to marry her.
It is Cao Bao's concern that this girl has not married for a long time!"
Hiss...Lü Bu was a little dizzy after hearing this. What does this plot to capture the city of Pi have to do with Cao Bao's daughter, Cao Yuan?
"Sir..." Lu Bu just started to speak, but Chen Gong's words had already preceded him. "No one dares to marry her, so why doesn't Marquis Wen marry her? If she becomes the general's wife, what will happen to the Danyang soldiers in Pi City? Do they listen to Marquis Wen?
Or should you listen to Liu Bei?"
After being reminded of this, even Lu Bu's slender head became enlightened...
Darling, Mr. Gongtai has played a big game, from Liu Bei accepting their surrender, to settling in Xiaopei, to establishing a son-in-law relationship with Cao Bao, and finally... seizing Xiapi City from Liu Bei's hands.
,this…
Lu Bu rolled his eyes, and subconsciously, he felt that this plan was feasible, this plan could work!
Just as he was about to open his mouth to praise Chen Gong, Lu Bu suddenly thought of a problem...a very serious problem.
Lu Bu's wife Yan is still here.
Today, Lu Bu has one wife and one concubine, his wife is Mrs. Yan, and his concubine is Diao Chan... He and Mrs. Yan have a daughter named Lu Lingqi, and Diao Chan has just given birth to a daughter named Lingju!
My concubine, Diao Chan, is fine, but my wife, Mrs. Yan, is still there? How can I marry Cao Bao’s daughter?
"Sir, my wife..."
Lu Bu was about to speak, but Chen Gong had already expected that he would ask this question and directly raised his voice.
Chen Gong sighed: "Fengxian, only today do I understand a truth..."
"In troubled times, if you want to gain a foothold, you must be ruthless. You must learn from Cao Cao, who said, "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me." If you learn from Liu Bei, "It would be better for the world to betray me, than for me to betray the world."
, then Pi City will be yours now, Lu Bu!"
At this point, Chen Gong patted Lu Bu's shoulder meaningfully and left nine words: "In troubled times, no one who is not poisonous will not be a husband!"
That’s right… no poison, no husband!
Mrs. Yan will not die? How will Lu Bu renew his relationship? How will he establish a relationship with Cao Bao as a father-in-law and son-in-law? How will Xia Pi City be able to gain a foothold in troubled times?
Haha... Chen Gong laughed inwardly, with mixed emotions.
In the past, he killed Lu Boshe's family because of Cao Cao, and left him because of Cao Cao's words, "I would rather betray others than others betray me"...
But now, due to the helplessness of this troubled world, I have ended up living a life I hate!
