Chapter 100: The Farce of the Red Face (4)
"Sister, originally I thought that although Liu Bei was hateful, at least he was still sanctimonious, but I never thought that he was so despicable." I don't know when, Lu Bu's wife Yan came to Diao Chan's side. Seeing Diao Chan's sad appearance, Yan couldn't bear the anger in his heart, and said angrily.
Liu Bei placed Lu Bu in Xiaopei, and used various means to guard against Lu Bu, and Yan, as Lu Bu's wife, naturally had no good impression of her. It's just that she didn't expect that Liu Bei would be so bad.
For Diao Chan, Yan naturally didn't know that she was a spy sent by Wang Yun to Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu. In her opinion, Diao Chan is just a hard-working woman who was allowed by the king to marry Lu Bu, but was robbed of her love by Dong Zhuo and forcibly occupied by her. Therefore, in addition to the fact that Diao Chan occupies most of Lu Bu's care, which makes Yan feel a little psychologically unbalanced, more often than not, she is sympathetic and pitiful to this poor girl.
And now, not long after Lu Bu died, there were already people who couldn't wait to jump out to compete for Diao Chan, which made Yan feel even more unhappy and sad. His appearance is far inferior to Diao Chan, and he is older than Diao Chan, and his identity is slightly higher than Diao Chan. But who can say this kind of thing, isn't Diao Chan a lesson from the past? In the end, she is just a lonely and widowed woman, and in the current situation of having no support, who can guarantee that she will not be bullied by others in the future?
"The little girl is destined to have a hard life, but her sister is worried." Diao Chan said to Yan slightly apologetically. Diao Chan's apology is also from the bottom of his heart, after he was married to Lu Bu, he was taken care of by the Yan family in the mansion a lot, and even if the relationship between the two is not intimate, it is definitely deep.
"Why should you and my sisters see each other?" Looking at Diao Chan's apologetic expression, Yan's heart couldn't help but feel sour again. Her initial decision to befriend Diao Chan was entirely out of the woman's family's careful thinking. She knew that Lu Bu doted on Diao Chan very much, and although she was an eldest woman, her jealousy and other actions could only add to Lu Bu's displeasure with her, so it would be better to take the initiative to get closer to Diao Chan, maybe Lu Bu would pay more attention to herself because of this. It's just that in the process of dealing with Diao Chan, Yan gradually really made friends with the other party, loved him very much, and treated him as his own sister.
It doesn't matter if you can change the final outcome for the time being, but in any case, you must work hard for Diao Chan. Yan secretly made up his mind.

At this time, in the mansion of General Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao was talking to a woman with a respectful expression.
That woman is naturally Yan's undoubtedly. Although Lu Bu's family is imprisoned in Xuchang City for Cao Cao, they are not completely free of freedom, as long as they don't do anything too out of the ordinary, Cao Cao won't care what you do on weekdays. Although Yan and the others were forbidden to leave the city, they could still wander around casually in this Xuchang City, except for important places such as the imperial palace.
Although Zhang Liao was completely loyal to Cao Cao at this time, he had always cherished an old affection for his late lord Lu Bu. Therefore, he did not dare to slack off on Yan's visit, and still regarded him as a housewife, and received the other party very ceremoniously.
"Liu Xuande is the emperor's uncle, but his behavior is formless! Wen Hou's bones were not cold, and he actually coveted Wen Hou's widow. Today's concubine is here for this matter, and I hope that General Wenyuan can say a few words in front of Cao Gong, so that Cao Gong can refuse Liu Bei's unreasonable request. After a brief exchange of greetings with Zhang Liao, Yan immediately went straight to the point and explained the purpose of his visit.
Although Yan is only a woman, she also knows that Zhang Liao has always been loyal. Although Zhang Liao had surrendered to Cao Cao before LΓΌ Bu's death, it cannot be asserted that he was a capricious man. When Cao Cao conquered Xuzhou, because of the possibility of conflict with LΓΌ Bu, Zhang Liao deliberately wrote to Cao Cao, asking to stay in Xuchang, unwilling to go to war with the old lord with the army. His loyalty can be seen.
Therefore, the Yan family came to Zhang Liao, hoping that Zhang Liao could help Diao Chan for the sake of the late lord Lu Bu.
Zhang Liao heard what Yan said, and was silent for a long time. Not long after Lu Bu died, Liu Bei openly asked Cao Cao for his concubine, which made Zhang Liao feel a little unhappy, but it was only unhappy. In the final analysis, Diao Chan is just an advocate of excellence, when Wang Yun was there, she had the name of Wang Yun's adopted daughter, and she might still have some status. But after Wang Yun's death, no matter how beautiful Rao is Diao Chan is, he has no status at all. Even though Lu Bu loved Diao Chan far more than he loved the Yan family and the other concubines, Zhang Liao still respected him as much as Xiang Xiang did for the Yan family. Liu Bei's begging for Diao Chan made Zhang Liao unhappy, but it was not enough to make him extremely angry.
The same is true for Chen Gong, when he was under Lu Bu's account, he always respected Mrs. Yan and despised Diao Chan, so he was able to put forward a suggestion to let Liu Bei ask Diao Chan to accept Diao Chan. But if someone proposes to Liu Bei to ask him to accept the Yan family, I am afraid that Chen Gong will greet the other party's family on the spot.
Zhang Liao knew that Cao Cao had always attached great importance to Liu Bei, and he could also see that Cao Cao was inclined to use Diao Chan as a generous bargaining chip, so he gave it to Liu Bei. Even if Yan asked for it, Zhang Liao really didn't have a good way to deal with it. Could it be that he let himself run directly to Cao Cao and beg him not to send Diao Chan to Liu Bei? Even if he really did that, Zhang Liao had no confidence that he would be able to convince Cao Cao to change his mind.
"Liao is incompetent, and I am afraid that there is nothing I can do about it." Zhang Liao refused to speak before he could say anything, and when he saw Yan's sad look, a feeling of guilt arose spontaneously in his heart, and he couldn't bear it and then said, "Liao is just a general, and he can't think of any good way to do this kind of thing." But if Mrs. really doesn't want Diao Chan to marry that Liu Bei, why don't you ask Mr. Jia Xu Jia Wenhe? β
This was a casual suggestion made by Zhang Liao in a hurry, and after he finished speaking, he immediately regretted it in his heart. What kind of person is that Jia Xu, although he has served Dong Zhuo with Lu Bu before, he has no friendship with each other. Jia Xu has been in Taoguang most of the time since he joined Cao, with his low-key personality, how could he be troubled for a woman he never knew?
However, Yan listened to Zhang Liao's words, as the saying goes, go to the doctor in a hurry, although Yan doesn't know much about Jia Xu and his person, but since Zhang Liao said that Jia Xu may have a way to do this, then he will ask for it.
