As soon as Song Xian said these words, everyone rolled their eyes. Chen Gong said quickly: "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 Lu Bu would believe Song Xian. After all, Lu Bu had a soft heart. If Chen Gui was really killed, it would be really troublesome.
Moreover, Chen Gui's identity was sensitive. He was a famous person in Xuzhou. How could he kill him just because he wanted to?
Thinking of this, Chen Gong felt very tired. Most of Lu Bu's men were Liangzhou soldiers 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 said again: "Which of you wants to lead the troops?"
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. Why don't you wait for him to come over and listen to his conditions 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 has Jizhou as its back, 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 couldn't possibly 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 lecherous and full of treacherous tricks. If he had an idea of Marquis Wen's daughter, he would not only 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, could it be that the fierce tiger of the Yuan family wanted to join forces with Marquis Wen to merge the state?
Chen Gong's body shook again, this must be the truth!
Except for 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 let it be used by Marquis Wen!
A few days later, a motorcade came to Huaicheng, and Chen Gui was sitting in a carriage.
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 are in danger, I will have someone on my side 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 complete the task entrusted by the young master."
Yuan Xi smiled and said: "If you can't do it sir, then 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 Sangong and Jiuqing. In Yuan Shu's view, he had captured Chen Gui's family and promised him high officials and generous salaries. 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 completely fell out. 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 came to 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 halberd technique.
She danced dozens of moves, with a slight sweat on her forehead. Then her arms trembled, 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 into 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, do you mean 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 he has mastered it can he understand the higher level of martial arts principles."
"Nowadays, girls specialize in halberd skills and cannot broaden their horizons. They are always lacking in a little bit of meaning."
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi was thoughtful. After a while, she raised her head happily and said, "Sir, you are really awesome!"
"Starting from today, I'm going to practice my sword skills!"
Qu Yi couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Lu Lingqi happily running to Lu Bu for a knife.
He was actually fooling Lu Lingqi.
Lu Lingqi had already learned a lot about his halberd skills, and he had 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 thing Qu Yi has to do 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 Qu Yi got in touch with him these days and found that Chen Gong, a counselor who was deeply trusted by Lu Bu, was actually biased towards Yuan Shu.
Thinking of this, Qu Yi had an even greater 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, saying that there was no one close to Yuan Xi who was familiar with Lu Bu anymore.
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 could only think of ways to deal with Lu Lingqi, hoping that he could not 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 told me 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 doubtfully: "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 named 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, a subordinate of 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 asked to marry his wife."
Yang Chou has long coveted Du, but he is a terrible person and has a vulgar appearance, and Du is not willing to do so.
After hearing this, Mrs. Du said softly: "I am already an abandoned wife. If I want to marry again, I have to give my nod. 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. Her face turned pale and she 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 her mother was not kind. After all, she had been guarding 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 wondered, could this be the case?
Du Shi took care of herself a lot these days, could he bear to push her into the fire pit?
Lu Lingqi ran out of ideas for a moment. She raised her head and saw Qu Yi taking a nap under the tree.
