On the seventh day of March, Xuzhou finally ushered in the biggest ceremony, the wedding of Lin Mo and Lu Lingqi.
I have to say that the people who came this time were a bit beyond Lin Mo's imagination. The local aristocratic families in Xu and Yangzhou were not to mention, but there were aristocratic families from Jingzhou, Yingchuan and even Sili. It was something he didn't dare to think about.
You know, these guys are usually very arrogant.
And this wedding was not celebrated by the whole city as Lin Mo thought. In fact, not only was it not celebrated, but the highest level of ban was implemented.
Usually a curfew is only implemented at night, and people are not allowed to walk on the streets. But on this day, Lu Bu issued a strict order. No people were allowed to approach the three streets running from the Lin Mansion to the General Mansion and the surrounding distance of 100 feet.
In fact, Lu Bu did this just to consider safety issues. It is not unheard of to cause chaos at a wedding banquet and be assassinated. Lu Bu, who was particularly concerned about this day, mobilized heavy troops to control it.
Later, a letter written by Zhang Wang to Lin Mo was found on the body of a merchant whose actions were quite suspicious. Lu Bu became even more angry and tore the letter into pieces.
Our daughter and son-in-law are getting married soon. If you still want to cheat me, I will definitely take your head later.
Lu Bu is not stupid. He knows that this is probably Cao Cao's fault, so when surrounded by heavy troops, he also transferred back from the Xiaoguan camp to serve as the guard of the General's Mansion, which can be said to be an iron bucket.
At the mansion, Lin Mo was wearing a black dress with a colored brocade lining, riding a tall horse, leading Zhao Yun, Xu Sheng and others to the general's mansion with gongs and drums.
Lu Bu was very unhappy about this at first, because he felt that since they were married, they should live in the general's mansion, but Lin Mo didn't like it very much. After all, he was a marquis and had his own mansion. It was boring to act like a son-in-law. .
When she came to the general's mansion, she didn't do anything to welcome the bride like later generations. Lu Lingqi was dressed in red and waited at the middle gate. When Lin Mo passed through the middle gate, the two of them were side by side, and then they went to wash their hands and face, and then Let's go into the inner hall together.
Lu Bu and Yan were sitting in the high hall, and the praying officer beside them began to shout: "Bless the sky! Worship the earth! Worship the high hall!"
Looking at the newlyweds, Lu Bu smiled from ear to ear. Not only did he not feel like the cabbage was being fucked by a pig, he was also smugly thinking that my good cabbage had caught a golden husband.
Different from the TV series, after paying homage to the Heaven and Earth Hall, you are not sent to the bridal chamber at all. There are a lot of etiquette, such as the wedding ceremony, the same prison ceremony, the wedding ceremony, the ribbon matching ceremony, etc.
Each one is extremely cumbersome, and even the height of reaching out is strictly regulated.
I can only lament that the ancients valued etiquette far beyond Lin Mo's imagination. No wonder they always scolded each other when they attacked each other: The etiquette and music of such-and-such a place you are fighting against has collapsed.
Moreover, after returning to Lin Mansion, there is another set of etiquette to go through, which is generally a torment.
These red tapes lasted from morning to afternoon, during which the two of them didn't eat anything. Lu Lingqi was still calm, but Lin Mo's legs were weak from hunger.
After finally sending the guests away, it was already midnight.
Then, the two of them had their first meal of the day according to the rituals given to each other.
Finally, it can finally be sent to the bridal chamber.
Under the dim candlelight, Lu Lingqi lowered her eyebrows and said nothing. Her eyes were like autumn water. Her delicate makeup made her less heroic and more charming than a girl of her age.
Lin Mo walked to the couch and sat next to Lu Lingqi. His heart was beating loudly, but he tacitly chose not to speak.
In theory, of course Lin Mo should take the initiative for this kind of thing, but he was also a young girl who was getting on the sedan chair for the first time, so he was a little at a loss.
"How about we have a few more drinks?"
"Didn't you drink Hexin wine?" Lu Lingqi's rhetorical question made Lin Mo a little embarrassed.
After a moment of silence, Lin Mo bravely stretched out and landed his right hand on Lu Lingqi's shoulder, then slowly slid down.
You could clearly feel her body trembling, and then her whole body stiffened.
Lin Mo's head slowly leaned over, and just when he was about to put his mouth to hers, he saw Lu Lingqi frowning tightly, closing her eyes, and clenching her pussy until it turned white.
"Ling'er, shouldn't you have known that this day would come? Don't be so nervous." Lin Mo was a little funny. This girl was usually cold and silent, and occasionally rude, but on this day she was trembling with nervousness.
How could they have a bridal chamber in this state? Lin Mo could only hold her jade hand and caress it gently to comfort her.
After waiting for a while, he felt that her body was not as stiff as before, and then he slowly moved closer to her.
"Husband, please slow down." Lu Lingqi bit her red lips and tried her best to relax.
Lin Mo just said yes, but if you want to say slow, it's really not true.
This marriage has been talked about for a long time, it should have reached this point long ago.
As a gust of cold wind blew, the candles on the stage were extinguished. Two figures slowly approached, and the mandarin ducks were paired under the quilt.
In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone into their dormitory, Lu Lingqi had already stood up and prepared Lin Mo to wash up and change clothes.
The maids will do these things in the future, but on the first day of the couple's life, Lu Lingqi must do it herself.
The ancients emphasized the three obediences and the four virtues: obey your father at home and your husband when you get married. In the days to come, Lin Mo will be Lu Lingqi's heaven.
When he finally woke up, it was already past midnight. Lu Lingqi had been waiting for more than an hour.
"Ling'er." After Lin Mo yawned, he subconsciously touched the empty bed next to him.
"Husband."
Now, she called her husband very naturally, "Get up and wash up."
She stepped forward and helped Lin Mo stand up. The two were in close contact and could smell the refreshing daughterly fragrance on Lu Lingqi's body. Lin Mo was in a trance for a moment.
"Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Lin Mo laughed.
"Don't indulge anymore." Lu Lingqi's face turned red, like a delicate peach blossom, which made Lin Mo lose his composure and let out a sip.
Finally, Lu Lingqi put on his shoes, and Lin Mo stretched and stood up before taking steps to wash up and have breakfast.
After all this was over, the couple had to serve tea as a courtesy, but since both Lin Mo's parents died, this step could only be avoided.
Anyway, idleness is idleness. Lin Mo stared at Lu Lingqi and felt a surge in his body, so he pretended to be serious and said: "Ling'er, my father-in-law said that he wants us to hold the two of us in three years, so we can't delay for too long."
So Lu Lingqi got into the bed with the thief even if she wanted to refuse.
After the clouds and rain passed, Lin Mo felt so satisfied that he lay down in a big posture and entered the time of the sage.
About half an hour later, Lin Mo looked at Lu Lingqi dishonestly and raised his eyebrows, "Two of them in three years?"
"Oh." After Lu Lingqi, who was new to human affairs, understood the secrets, she followed Lin Mo's temper.
The two of them tossed around until the evening. After dinner, Lin Mo asked naturally: "Hug?"
"good!"
In the second half of the night, Lu Lingqi's Rouyi dragged her chin and stared at Lin Mo with her big watery eyes.
"What are you looking at?"
"It's nothing. Didn't father let us hold two children in three years?"
"What are you waiting for?"
In Youzhou, Yuan Shao, who is tall and handsome, walks with authority, and has a short beard that is neatly combed, stands in front of Yijing City, holding the sword on his waist with his right hand, looking up at the smoke-filled Yijing City, his eyes showing endless satisfaction. .
It took a whole year, but Gongsun Zan was finally forced into a desperate situation.
This battle was really not easy. Counting from the very beginning, the two men fought for six years.
Even at this stage, White Horse General Gongsun Zan is still difficult to deal with.
A few days ago, his son Gongsun Xu went to Taihang Mountain to look for Zhang Yan, but he was not very lucky. Their secret messages were robbed by Yuan Shao's people.
It was originally agreed upon that the inside and outside should work together to annihilate the enemy, but Xu You proposed to use the trick, which caused a certain amount of chaos in the tribe. He actually deceived Gongsun Zan and was inevitably beaten.
But in the end Gongsun Zan was allowed to escape back to Yijing City.
It's okay, one plan failed, so another plan came up. There were so many counselors under Yuan Shao's tent, including Tian Feng, Ju Shou and others at the ceiling level. They immediately started digging tunnels and hollowed out the bottom of Yijing City.
Then they used wood to support it, and then burned the wood, and the city collapsed.
Seeing that he was helpless, Gongsun Zan killed all the wives, children, and children in the city, and then drew his sword and killed himself.
At this point, all four states in the Northern Kingdom have fallen into Yuan Shao's hands.
Moreover, after Yuan Shao gained a state, he did not need to care for the people or visit aristocratic families like Lu Bu did, because he was the most powerful aristocratic family, and it was also a manifestation of the integration of the interests of the aristocratic families.
In fact, before Gongsun Zan was completely defeated, the powerful local families in Youzhou began to flatter him one after another.
If we must talk about the aftermath, it is that there is some trouble on the Wuhuan side, and some troops may need to be left as guard.
The situation here in Youzhou is actually relatively complicated. There are Hu people living here, and there are also Xianbei, Xiongnu and Wuhuan who go south to plunder from time to time. When Liu Yu served as governor here, he had a soft policy towards these Hu people.
Gongsun Zan, on the other hand, advocated thunderous tactics and would do it if he didn't accept it. Facts have proved that Gongsun Zan is the only one who can deal with foreigners.
"Lord!"
While Yuan Shao was admiring the smoke of Yijing City and practicing for this old friend who had been fighting with him for six years, a scout ran over and presented a bamboo slip, "A letter from the prefect of Hanoi Zhang Yang."
Publicity?
Yuan Shaojian raised his eyebrows, what letter did he write to me?
After unfolding the bamboo slips and looking at them, Yuan Shao burst out laughing, "Zhang Yang still knows the current affairs. If you want to lead the army and join me, he understands the general trend of the world."
The Northern Kingdom is now unified, and Yuan Shao has become the most powerful prince in the Han Dynasty in a practical sense. It is nothing new for a county governor to want to defect to him.
However, it will be good for you if this matter spreads, and it can make many people have a herd mentality.
"My lord, I think this matter needs to be done with caution." There were dozens of people standing behind Yuan Shao, including powerful generals wearing armor and holding steel guns, as well as counselors wearing Confucian robes.
Among them, a man in his thirties with a dark complexion and a hooked nose stood up and bowed: "Zhang Yang has an old relationship with Lu Bu. I wonder if my lord still remembers it. Lu Bu was driven away from Guanzhong by Li Jue and Guo Si. He went to Hanoi to join Zhang Yang.
Later, Lu Bu entered Jizhou and had a grudge with his lord over grain and grass, so he returned to Hanoi, which shows that the two had a close friendship.
Now that the lord holds the land of the four states, the next step is to invade the Central Plains. At this time, Zhang Yang comes to attack, so we must be on guard. "
Yuan Shao, who was still feeling proud at first, turned solemn after hearing these words. After thinking for a moment, he nodded slowly and said, "Yuan Hao is very worried and almost mistakenly believed the thief."
Before Tian Feng bowed, a man with fat ears, round face, and sinister eyes stood up and sneered: "What Tian Feng said is really just a common man's opinion. If my lord listens to his words, I'm afraid my great cause will be in danger."
Tian Feng was very angry and was about to get angry when Yuan Shao turned around and looked at the man, frowning and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
"My lord, the so-called one and the other, in the past Zhang Yang dared to take Lu Bu in, just because he was thinking of his feelings for Pao Ze, who was also under Ding Yuan's command back then, but what about now?"
Guo Patou raised his head and raised his chest, waved his right hand, and said seriously: "My lord is sitting on the land of four states, with half a million armors, counselors like clouds, and generals like rain. Among the wise people in the world, whoever doesn't know the country will belong to whom?" Hands, Zhang Yang is in Hanoi, a place of the Fourth War, and cannot stay for a long time. If he wants to protect himself, he can only find a powerful backer.
I wonder if there is anyone in the world who is more powerful than the Lord?
If he rashly refuses to speak out because of the past, then other people who want to serve their lord will think that the lord is so narrow-minded, how can they help him, and they might as well vote for Cao Cao.
You are helping our enemies! "
Yuan Shao took a breath and it seemed to make sense.
If you refuse to show off, you will lose the hearts of others. This is also forcing others to fight to the death with you, which is unwise.
Seeing Yuan Shao's hesitation, Guo Tucai glanced at Tian Feng coldly and stepped back.
Xu You, who had been silent all this time, just glanced at the two of them and still didn't intend to speak.
He was very aware of the changes in these people during this period. They were just watching Yuan Shao become bigger and bigger, and they all began to make plans for their own interests.
Tian Feng, as the representative of the Tian family, the most prominent family in Jizhou, is a bit too pedantic, while Guo Tu only got where he is today after selling Han Fu, and it is almost a habit to suppress his opponents.
Collisions like theirs happened every day in Yuan Ying.
However, Yuan Shao has become accustomed to this. Yuan Shao, who was born in the fourth generation and the third prince, has been exposed to conflicts between aristocratic families since he was a child. Fighting is normal, but not fighting is abnormal.
As the leader, all he has to do is choose a suitable one among many suggestions.
"What do you think, Mr. Yu?" Yuan Shao looked at a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian crown and a three-inch beard.
Jushou, Yuan Shao's supervisor, was different from those from aristocratic families such as Tian Feng and Guo Tu. He held military power in his hands.
Such a person speaks with great weight.
"I think it's acceptable, but his troops must be divided and raised in captivity with false titles. This will not only prevent him from secretly communicating with Lu Bu, but also prevent him from losing the favor of distant people."
Ju Shou's proposal was the most popular with Yuan Shao, and he immediately nodded and said, "What you said is exactly what I want!"
However, what Yuan Shao didn't know was that Zhang Yang didn't just write such a letter to him.
Another person, the governor of Qingzhou, his eldest son Yuan Tan, also received this letter.
