~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The night of spring is infinite, since the lack of humanity with outsiders, only the room is constantly coquettish, adding a little romance to the night breeze and bright moon out of thin air.

Although Kang Peng has a bad nature, but Sun Shangxiang and Wu Xin, the two little girls, are still less than twelve years old after all, Kang Peng finally showed mercy to his subordinates, and only vented twice in their small mouths, as for Zhen Mi, who is already thirteen - in this era is also the age when she can get married, Kang Peng was not polite, and spoiled her crazy overnight, which made Zhen Mi crooked and slanted, tears and tears, and begged for mercy, Cai Wenji also temporarily put away her jealous bad temper, and even helped Kang Peng ** succeed.

When it was dawn, Kang Peng got up satisfied, and looked at a few little girls, Sun Shangxiang and Wu Xin's little faces were flushed, Zhen Mi was already disheveled, her face was as red as blood, and there were tear stains in the corners of her eyes. And Cai Wenji was still a little jealous, her mouth was slightly upturned, she twisted Kang Peng fiercely, and got up to breastfeed Dong Peng.

Kang Peng was very proud, and pulled Zhen Mi out of the quilt with his big hand and hugged him in his arms, "Mi'er, in the afternoon, Benxiang will go and tell your mother that she will marry you to Benxiang as a concubine." Although Zhen Mi is very loved by Kang Peng, her background is still a lot worse than that of the two princesses and the royal eunuchs such as Fu Yu and Cai Wenji.

Zhen Mi's little face was buried deep in Kang Peng's arms, and he said in a low voice: "Taishi, Mi'er is yours for everything, if you lie to Mi'er, Mi'er will have only one way to die." Zhen Mi leaned into Kang Peng's ear and whispered: "Good Taishi, in fact, when Sister Cai talked to you like this last night, Mi'er guessed what Taishi wanted to do, and her mother had already taught Mi'er how to serve Taishi, so Mi'er didn't run." ”

Kang Peng's mouth opened so much that his jaw almost dropped, Zhen Mi's mother actually wanted to dedicate her daughter to herself, no wonder she felt that Zhen Mi's movements were a little skilled last night. But Kang Peng thought about it, because he came to this era and changed history to make the Zhen family ruined, the lonely Zhen Mi mother and daughter In addition to doing this, although the world is big, there is no place for their mother and daughter to live, not to mention that he will leave Zhen Mi's mother and daughter, who have no relatives with the Dong family, to live in the house, what kind of calculation, I am afraid that everyone knows it, so Zhen's mother let her daughter take the initiative to dedicate herself.

Thinking of this, Kang Peng felt even more pity for the poor Zhen Mi's mother and daughter, gave a long kiss on Zhen Mi's small mouth, and let go of the kiss until Zhen Mi was almost out of breath, and said softly: "Mi'er, don't worry, this appearance will definitely let your mother and daughter live the rest of their lives safely and happily." ”

Zhen Mi was ashamed and happy, her head was buried in Kang Peng's arms, feeling the warmth of Kang Peng's fat chest, Sun Shangxiang and Wu Xin were willing to let Zhen Mi enjoy it exclusively, so they wore small clothes and squeezed into Kang Peng's arms, fortunately, Dong Boss's chest was wide and his arms were long, and the bodies of the three little girls were petite, and Kang Peng could barely hold them all.

"Bad master, when Xiangxiang grows up again, you must marry Xiangxiang." Sun Shangxiang's little face was attached to Kang Peng's chest and said sweetly.

"Good master, when Xin'er turns thirteen, you will marry Xin'er, this is what you said, don't regret it." Wu Xin directly hugged Kang Peng's waist, and her voice was sweeter.

Kang Peng laughed and kissed each of the two little girls, "Of course, of course." Kang Peng leaned into their ears and whispered: "But it hurts a little, and you can't run away when the time comes." ”

The three little girls were ashamed of themselves, desperately drilling into Kang Peng's arms, almost wanting to squeeze into the fat on Kang Peng's belly, Cai Wenji, who was breastfeeding Dong Peng over there, was jealous and said coldly: "Xianggong, if you want to make love, it's time to go to the office." At this moment, Cai Wenji already regretted a little, although she could compete with those fox spirits for favor, but invisibly, she shared the old ugly ghost's favor with others.

Kang Peng smiled awkwardly, hugged the three little girls to bed one by one, and softly comforted them to rest for a while, and then said goodbye to Cai Wenji to deal with official business. Although Kang Peng gradually began to hate Cai Wenji's worse and worse temper and attitude of interfering in his private affairs, he still loved her deeply in his heart, and at the same time, Kang Peng also understood in his heart that although he had a lot of women, except for these three little girls who were not very sensible, almost all of them were raped and then married by himself or Dong Boss, and the only one who truly loved him was this eccentric Cai Wenji.

……

While Kang Peng was in Chang'an and enjoying the blessings of all the people, his adviser and number one diplomat, Lu Su, faced the greatest difficulty in his diplomatic mission in Yizhou. On the fifth day of the third month of the third year of the Han Dynasty, Lu Su finally arrived in Brazil, the important land of Xichuan, and immediately asked to see Liu Yan, the Yizhou Mu who had troops here, but Lu Su had not yet entered the official office where Liu Yan lived temporarily, and Zhang Ren, the number one general in Xichuan, came out first to embarrass him.

Zhang Ren's face was gloomy, and he didn't invite Lu Su into the door, but asked with a slashed face: "Why did Lu Fengchang come?" ”

Lu Su was not angry, but replied with a polite smile: "I came to save Liu Yizhou." ”

Zhang Ren never dreamed that Lu Su would answer like this, but he was made angry by Lu Su's words, and asked again after a while: "My lord has the natural danger of Qinchuan and the geographical location of the river gorge, why do you need Lu Feng to save him?" Who in the world can harm my lord? ”

Lu Su smiled, shook his head and said, "The general won't know, right?" Hanzhong Zhang Lu, who has a grudge against Liu Yizhou, has handed over the Meridian Valley to the Xiliang Army, Qinchuan has lost the natural danger, and the Xiliang Army can go down the Nanjiang River at any time, can Liu Yizhou have the confidence to block the invincible Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the world? ”

Zhang Ren was furious, "choking", Zhang Ren drew his knife and said sharply: "If Lu Fengchang is here to persuade him to surrender, then please go back!" Xichuan only has a decapitated general, not a surrendered general! ”

Lu Su sighed and shook his head, glanced at the shadow shaking behind the door out of the corner of his eye, turned around and sighed: "Good intentions are not rewarded, when the combined forces of Dong Taishi and Zhang Tianshi are pressing, Liu Yizhou and Zhang Ren will go and say these words to Dong Taishi about these decapitated generals and surrendered generals." ”

As Lu Su expected, he didn't take a few steps before Liu Yan burst out from behind the door and shouted, "Lu Feng often walks slowly." ”

Lu Su stopped, turned around and pretended to be surprised: "Liu Yizhou, don't you see the villain?" Why did it come out again? ”

Zhang Ren was furious, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Liu Yan waving his hand, and with a smile on his face, he personally went to help Lu Su enter the door, "Lu Fengchang, my father is entangled in official affairs, and I can't go out of the city to meet Lu Fengchang in person, don't be surprised." ”

Lu Su smiled secretly, and said in his heart that if it weren't for the trapping camp and the Flying Bear Army that had now arrived in Hanzhong, don't say that you went out of the city to greet me, and it would be good if you didn't away. Although he thought so in his heart, Lu Su still played with Liu Yan haha, "Liu Yizhou is too tormented to kill the villain, how can the villain be virtuous, then dare to let Liu Yizhou go out of the city to greet him?" ”

Some people say that diplomacy is the most hypocritical**, and this is true! Although Liu Yan gritted his teeth with hatred for Dong Zhuojun who was sideways, he still kept praising Dong Taishi for driving out the Tartars, exterminating the Yellow Turbans, and capturing the princes of the Eighteen Roads. Of course, Lu Su knew what he wanted, but he was also full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and repeatedly thanked Liu Yan for his warm reception, etc.

After being polite for a long time, Liu Yan turned his conversation to the main topic, "Lu Fengchang, dare to ask Dong Taishi's soldiers to enter Hanzhong, what is the matter?" The Taishi sent Lu Fengchang here, what guidance do you have? ”

Lu Su's face immediately changed greatly, and he said coldly: "Why does Liu Yizhou pretend to be confused? Liu Yizhou has repeatedly disrespected Dong Taishi and despised Taishi many times, and now Zhang Tianshi in Hanzhong proposed to form an alliance with Dong Taishi and took the initiative to give up the Meridian Valley for the Xiliang army to pass, Dong Taishi naturally came to Liu Yizhou by the way to ask for an understanding. ”

"Bold!" Zhang Ren roared, jumped up and drew his sword and pointed at Lu Su. Yan Yan was also furious, and the sword was almost pointed at Lu Su's nose, "Yellow-haired child, you dare to speak wildly to my lord." ”

"All of them are for my father-in-law to step down." Liu Yan's voice is louder than them, Liu Yan doesn't hate Lu Su for being so arrogant, but he now has the worries of Qianwei County Renqi and Jia Long, the south has barbarians and Jiaozhou Shijia looking at him, and Liu Biao in Jingzhou in the east has always been at odds with him, only Zhang Lu, who has just become independent in Hanzhong, is the weakest, if he really provokes the Demon King of Dong, and the Xiliang army goes south with Zhang Lu, then Yizhou's internal and external troubles are bound to break out together, and he is really going to die without a place to be buried.

After Zhang Ren and Yan Yan retreated, Liu Yan turned his head and smiled at Lu Su: "Lu Fengchang, is this a misunderstanding?" Liu Yan has always respected Taishi, where dare to despise Taishi Dong? When Taishi Dong was framed by scholars and besieged by the princes, how critical was the situation? Yuan Shao's dog thieves also wrote to invite Liu Yan to raise troops, but Liu Yan was convinced that Dong Taishi was slandered by villains, and refused to raise troops to attack Taishi. ”

Lu Su sneered, "Really? In March of the second year of the early Ping Dynasty of the Han Dynasty, when the Chang'an merchant caravan passed through Yangping Pass, it was levied high taxes, not to mention that half of the goods were forcibly left behind by Liu Yizhou's subordinates; In April of the second year of the early Han Dynasty, Chang'an merchants were robbed many times in the Mianzhu area, and Taishi sent envoys to negotiate with Liu Yizhou several times, but Liu Yizhou has not explained to Taishi so far, so that Chang'an merchants did not dare to take the road of Hanzhong, and were forced to make a detour to Hanzhong; In July of the second year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, when Taishi was on an expedition to the Qiang people, the logistics convoy that transported supplies to Taishi was almost robbed near Wuzhangyuan, and the thieves captured by our army spoke with a Xichuan accent; All kinds of similar incidents emerge one after another, in the entire second year of the first peace, the caravan of Yong, Bing and Liang was robbed 31 times in Yizhou, and more than 40 merchants were killed in the three states, and the loss of goods was discounted by more than 500,000 yuan! ”

Liu Yan's face was blue and white for a while, of course he knew these things, and many of the things that hijacked the merchants of Yong, He, and Liang were done by him secretly, and after a few successes, he didn't see any reaction from the Dong Demon King, Liu Yan also forgot about these trivial things, but he didn't expect Lu Su to make a big fuss about these things now.

Lu Su continued: "Liu Yizhou, you should know that Taishi is the most important trade, but the merchants of Yong, He, and Liang have been repeatedly looted in Yizhou, which is undoubtedly the biggest offense to Dong Taishi!" Speaking of this, Lu Su paused, "That's not all, when the moon god fruit was planted, in Chang'an alone, more than 30 Yizhou fine works were captured to steal the god seed, how does Liu Yizhou explain this?" ”

Liu Yan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he muttered for a long time, Zhang Ren and Yan Yan also knew that they were at the expense of these things, so they stopped talking - who called their lords greedy for money! There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Liu Yan was embarrassed for a long time, and finally said: "Lu Fengchang, there is something wrong with the old man in these things, but please rest assured that Lu Fengchang will arrest all those thieves in a month, at most a month, and send them to Chang'an, so as to relieve the anger of Taishi Dong, and the loss of the merchants in Sanzhou, the old man will also compensate according to the price." "Liu Yan is sure that he said these words, of course the real thieves can't be caught, and it shouldn't be difficult to catch a few people and send them to Dong Zhuo to vent his anger, although the 500,000 yuan of goods Lu Su said is nonsense - how can there be so many? But as long as an extra 10% tax is added in Yizhou, the money will come out.

It's a pity that Lu Su was unforgiving, took a sip of tea first, and then said slowly: "Of course, Liu Yizhou will compensate for these losses, but Dong Taishi said that Liu Yizhou will also compensate Dong Taishi for mental losses." ”

Liu Yan was confused, "Dare to ask Lu Fengchang, what is a mental loss fee?" ”

"Liu Yizhou has repeatedly disrespected Dong Taishi, caused mental pain to Dong Taishi's noble heart, and caused damage to Dong Taishi's spiritual interests, so Dong Taishi wants Liu Yizhou to compensate, which is called mental loss fee." Lu Su recalled the crooked reasoning that Kang Peng taught him when he was leaving, and at the same time taught Liu Yan a lesson with righteous words.

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were so angry that their foreheads were bruised and their fists were clenched, but Liu Yan glanced at them again, signaling them to calm down, and then smiled at Lu Su and said: "Lu Fengchang, the old man should be compensated for the Taishi, but how much should I compensate?" "Liu Yanxin said that it's a big deal, I will add another 10% tax this year.

Lu Su replied lightly: "Please ask Liu Yizhou to cede Shangyong to Dong Taishi, and Dong Taishi will not be angry." ”

Lu Su Lion opened his mouth widely, not only Zhang Ren and Yan Yan were so angry that their eyes erupted, but even Liu Yan, who had been whispering and seeking perfection, couldn't help it, and roared, "Dong thief has such a big appetite!" Finally, Liu Yan still had a trace of rationality, and he didn't call the knife and axe hand to come forward and cut Lu Su, but just said angrily: "Lu Fengchang, please go back, my father has repeatedly endured it, and Master Dong is still so deceitful, and my father is forced to fight back." ”

Lu Su's face was not shocked, he got up and said politely: "Liu Yizhou, Lu Su will stay in Brazil for ten days, and when Liu Yizhou changes his mind, the price is not non-negotiable." Leave. ”

After Lu Su left, Liu Yan overturned the case and shouted: "Dong thief deceives people too much!" Zhang Ren and Yan Yan obeyed the order, and the two of you led 30,000 horses to go first, stick to Jiameng Pass, and wait for the army of this prince to arrive, and then fight to the death with Dong thief! ”

Zhang Ren and Yan Yan almost roared and agreed, "Obey!" ”

Lu Su walked out of the gate of the Brazilian Mansion, and he was already in a cold sweat - the sky-high asking price just now was too much! Lu Su said silently in his heart: "Chen Gong, whether you can take Jiameng Pass before Liu Yan's reinforcements arrive, force Liu Yan to submit, and lay a wedge for the future all-round march into Yizhou, it's up to you......"

At this moment, the troops of Gao Shun and Wei Yan, who had arrived in Hanzhong, did not enter Hanzhong City to rest, but stopped for a while to replenish grain and grass, and immediately got up, and traveled day and night to kill the dangerous Jiameng Pass! At the same time, Zhang Liao and Xu Huang's troops stationed at the Qingni Pass drew out part of their troops, waved more flags to bluff, and made a feint in the direction of Nanxiang; The troops of Zhang Ji and Li Su stationed near Wuzhangyuan also concocted the same method, raising troops to make a feint in the direction of Chencang, creating the illusion that Dong Zhuo's army would attack Xichuan in an all-round way......
