There are gentlemen in the Three Kingdoms

Yuan Shu was silent for a long time, finally heaved a long sigh, and said, "Forget it, I'll leave this matter to you, you send someone to Lu Bu's barracks, and express to Lu Bu Zai that Yuan wants to marry him."

Yan Xiang took the order and left.

……

In a few days, Yan Xiang's emissary brought back the news, but the hearts of everyone were once again chilled.

Lü Bu didn't know the reason, but he tried his best not to get married with Yuan Shu, and he also made a request to Yuan Shu.

Lu Bu wants to say goodbye to the west.

Hearing this news, Yuan Shu suddenly became angry, his first reaction was: Lu Bu betrayed me.

Chapter 4 and One: Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang

"Lv Bu wants to bid farewell to Xixiang! He also said that he has received the emperor's seal, and he is going to stay in Geyang County temporarily, so he can't support Yuan here... Huh! The emperor's seal? What is he, Lu Bu, who can also be on the way of the emperor? ? It must be the Tao thief's request to His Majesty on his behalf!"

Yan Xiang didn't refute this matter, he just sighed and regretted: "Beauty, official position... The pottery merchant has figured out Lu Bu's character, so using this method is really beyond our expectation."

If Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang knew that the woman that the former pottery merchant gave to Lu Bu was his own daughter, they might have changed their plans for Lu Bu, but right now things are unclear, and no one has figured it out yet, but the pottery merchant The fact that he sent a beautiful woman to Lu Bu is in front of him.

In their subconscious, Lu Bu accepted the beauties and bribes of potters.

In addition, Lu Bu refused to marry his daughter to Yuan Yao, Yuan Shu's son, which created a gap between Yuan Shu and Lu Bu.

This bastard clearly looked down on Yuan!

It's not that Lu Bu definitely wants to shirk this marriage, but after Wei Xu's remonstrance, and the strange dress when the pottery merchant sent Miss Lu back, Lu Bu now doesn't know his identity. Is the daughter innocent?

In the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was not a big deal for a woman to remarry and change her husband. Everyone took it for granted... But after all, Yuan Shu is a wealthy family, so he has a good face. If he finds out that Lu Bu's daughter has never been out of the court, he is still innocent. , although it will not cause any major incidents, but after all, it is not very good-looking.

Lu Bu was worried that there would be troubles between the two families in the future, but if he told Yuan Shu that his daughter was harmed by a pottery merchant, it would be more uncomfortable than killing Lu Bu.

Being a father doesn't make him look bad.

Many chance coincidences, either man-made or misunderstanding, have brought things to this delicate situation.

"Lv Bu wants to go to Geyang County? It's just a dream! What are you asking him to do in Geyang County? United potters can't attack Yuan from both sides? Yuan will never let him get what he wants."

Yan Xiang hesitated for a moment, but tried his best to persuade Yuan Shu: "Duke Ming, although Lu Bu has a different heart now, but he has never broken the skin with Duke Ming after all, the current matter should be to win over... the bottom line I mean, Duke Ming might as well send someone to send Lu Bu a large gift, which is more than the benefits given to him by the pottery merchants, and present it to the court, to the high-ranking officials of Lu Bu's county, and send more beauties, but Lu Bu forgot the benefits It shouldn't be difficult for a righteous person to win him back."

Yuan Shu sneered, his laughter was so ear-piercing that Yan Xiang got goosebumps all over his body.

"If someone surnamed Tao shows his favor to Lu Bu, Yuan must also show his favor to Lu Bu? It's simply ridiculous! If someone surnamed Tao cedes a county to Lu Bu, will I still have to give the whole of Huainan to Lu Bu... ...I swear to destroy these three family slaves!"

Yan Xiang was immediately anxious when he heard the words: "Duke Ming must not act too hastily. If you act like this, if you can't beat Lu Bu in a hurry, the two armies will be stalemate. Wouldn't the surname Tao be reaping the benefits of the fisherman?"

Yuan Shu smiled coldly, and said, "Don't worry, Yuan is definitely not a reckless person, this matter is easy, Yuan should not fall out with Lu Bu, but secretly contact Sun Ce, and ask him to invite Lu Bu to a banquet as an alliance Farewell, when the time comes, let Sun Ce kill Lu Bu and decapitate him during the banquet, and Yuan Mou will take advantage of the situation to recruit the Bingzhou Army that surrendered to Lu Bu, wouldn't it be pleasant?"

"This, this..." Yan Xiang thought about it carefully, and said, "Isn't this method too dangerous? Sun Ce is not that trustworthy."

Yuan Shu said confidently: "Although Sun Lang has a strong personality, he still needs to rely on me. Without my supply, his Sun Jiajun can't even eat! At least for a short time, Sun Lang can't escape from Yuan's control. Besides, Sun Langzhi is in the territory of Jiangdong, and if the potters are not destroyed, his desire to develop in Jiangdong will be blocked every day. Yuan has already understood this, so he is relieved to use him! You don't need to worry, he dare not play any tricks fancy!"

……

Today's Zhou Yu feels very lucky, because he, who has always thought highly of himself, met a peerless person who can be compared with himself.

This person is Zhuge Liang, the envoy sent by the pottery merchant to Sun Jiajun.

The so-called series of divorces must be gradually intertwined.

But if you want to persuade Sun Ce, you must give him enough benefits and benefits, because Sun Ce hated pottery merchants, so he had to start with Zhou Yu.

As for the person who can successfully persuade Zhou Yu, in Tao Shang's opinion, perhaps Zhuge Liang is the only one.

Zhuge Liang followed the instructions of the potter, and did the opposite. Instead of meeting Sun Ce, the leader of the Sun family army, he first visited Zhou Lang, who was like a brother of Sun Ce.

Zhou Gongjin received the young envoy of Tao Jun in his tent.

Seeing that the pottery merchant sent such a young man as an envoy, Zhou Yu was a little puzzled at first. Is there no one under the pottery merchant's command?

But the thought was fleeting.

Judging from what the potter has done in the past five years, he is by no means a simple character.

Zhou Yu didn't talk about business right away, but tested Zhuge Liang's ability intentionally or unintentionally.

After a simple conversation, Zhuge Liang's performance surprised Zhou Yu.

Whether it's conversation, temperament, thought, knowledge or talent, the ability and itching shown by this young boy are beyond Zhou Yu's imagination.

It can be said that this person's knowledge is not inferior to his own, and his understanding of government affairs and people's livelihood is even higher than Zhou Yu's.

This kid is definitely a talent!

But this is just a potter's apprentice.

While Zhou Yu admired Zhuge Liang in his heart, he didn't show any weakness on his face.

He smiled lightly and said: "Tao Taifu and my General Sun are opponents. You and I have fought directly twice. It is out of common sense that Mr. Zhuge came here today as an envoy. I don't know what you think." Give Yu a lesson?"

Zhuge Liang bowed lightly, and said: "Back then when Shitai was alive, how could An Neng make this Nuo Da Tianxia a land the size of Sun's soldiers and horses?"

"it is good!"

Zhou Yu stood up, clapped his hands and looked at Zhuge Liang, saying, "You are really a young hero, the disciple of Mr. Taiping, he really is amazing! Then Yu might as well ask Mr., where in today's world is the place where Sun's army can stand? "

Zhuge Liang bowed lightly, and said: "Liang came here with the sincerity of the Grand Tutor, and he dared not lie to Brother Gongjin in the slightest. The master's conquest of Yuan Shu this time has a total of 13 soldiers and horses, and there are still soldiers and horses guarding Jinling City. [-], Xuzhou Pengcheng and Xiapi Kingdom in the north, there are still [-] Xuzhou Central Army, a total of [-] horses, and all of them are well-equipped, sufficient ordnance, excellent soldiers, and abundant food and grass! In the land of Huainan, Yuan Shu has Liu Xun's garrison army With [-] soldiers and [-] in the middle army, plus the tens of thousands of troops from the Sun family and Lu Bu, although they can be evenly matched with the soldiers of the eight counties of the Tao family, but the people in Huainan are not rich, and they pay heavy taxes. Le, there is not enough food and grass, and there are no more than a hundred ships. Even if we can resist for a while, it is only because of the convenience of the time and place. If the army retreats, it would be all right to hand over the fertile land of Yuzhang to Yuan Shu, but with Yuan Shu's tyranny, how can he keep it in Jiangdong for a long time? Sooner or later, Yuzhang will also be in the pocket of my grandson."

Zhou Yu laughed and sighed, "What a sharp mouth... Brother Zhuge, if Yu remembers correctly, your uncle, elder brother, and younger brother are all in the hands of Yuan Gong. You still come here to talk to me? Mo Are you disregarding the safety of your loved ones?"

Chapter 4 and Two of Zhuge's Five Points

Hearing Zhou Yu mentioned Zhuge Xuan, Zhuge Jin and others again, Zhuge Liang couldn't help feeling a twinge in his heart.

Although he was very concerned about the safety of his uncle, elder brother and younger brother, at this critical moment, Zhuge Liang knew that he must not show cowardice in front of Zhou Yu.

He can feel that the other party is a rare planner and a rare smart person, if he is allowed to catch even the slightest chance, there will be unpredictable losses.

Zhuge Liang settled down and showed a confident smile.

"Champion Hou once said: The Xiongnu is not destroyed, what is the family for! Although Liang is not as good as Huo Huqi, but he also knows the righteousness. If loyalty and filial piety really can't have both, then Liang will choose to be loyal to the country."

Zhou Yu smiled and said, "Oh? If you killed your uncle and brother because of this, how can you feel at ease in this life?"

"No." Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "Uncle and elder brother, my younger brother will definitely understand Liang's difficulties. Besides, if I really lost my family because of this..."
