Chapter 69: Yuan Shu called the emperor to conquer Lü Bu
It is said that at the beginning, Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to recruit Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei, but was defused by Lu Bu with a halberd, Yuan Shu not only failed to kill Liu Bei as he wished, but was also pitted by Lu Bu for 200,000 grains and grass in vain, so angry that Yuan Shu wanted to recruit Lu Bu in person.
Under the persuasion of the strategist Yang Hong, and the time for plotting to become the emperor was getting closer and closer, it was more advantageous to befriend Lu Bu than to conquer Lu Bu, so Yuan Shu gave up the conquest of Lu Bu, and instead wanted to marry Lu Bu, and asked for his son to marry Lu Bu's daughter, for which he sent Lu Bu a large number of gold, silver, jade brocade and other dowry gifts.
Lu Bu had already agreed, but Chen Deng suddenly thought that once Lu Bu married Yuan Shu, Liu Bei's life would be lost.
During the period when Liu Bei succeeded Tao Qian as the pastor of Xuzhou, he showed benevolence and love for the people, and Chen Deng's father and son respected Liu Bei quite a lot, and did not want Liu Bei to die, so they wanted to prevent Lu Bu and Yuan Shu from marrying.
Of course, Chen Gong also saw that once Lu Bu married Yuan Shu, Liu Bei's life would be lost, but Liu Bei would not die, Chen Gong didn't care too much, he only cared that once Lu Bu and Yuan Shu united, then with the power of Yuan Shu, it was entirely possible to destroy Cao Cao, except for the scourge of the people.
Chen Gong's belief in getting rid of Cao Cao is extremely firm, so Chen Gong was afraid that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu would have many twists and turns, and persuaded Lu Bu to send his daughter to Yuan Shu in advance to sit down with his family.
On this day, Lu Bu's daughters have already been sent out of the city, and if they don't stop it, it will be too late once they get to Yuan Shu.
Chen Deng had no choice but to ask his old father Chen Qi to go out and persuade Lu Bu to give up with Yuan Shu.
Chen Jue lived to be more than sixty years old, and his resourcefulness should not be underestimated, and after he saw Lu Bu, he said bluntly: "I heard that the death of the general is approaching, and Jute came to mourn." ”
Lu Bu was taken aback, and couldn't help but ask angrily, "Why did you say this?" I even said that my death is coming, if you don't tell me why, I won't spare you! ”
Chen Qi said: "The former Yuan Shu sent the general with 200,000 grains and grass, wanting to kill Liu Xuande, and the general used the gate to shoot a halberd to solve him; Now he suddenly came to ask for marriage, but he wanted to take the general's daughter as a hostage, and then attack Liu Xuande and take Xiaopei. Xiao Pei lost, Xuzhou is afraid of danger, this is a plan to be close to relatives, in the future, Yuan Shu or to borrow food, or to borrow soldiers: if the general responds, he will inevitably be tired of running for his life, and he will complain about others; But if you don't allow it, you will abandon your relatives and start your army. Moreover, I heard that Yuan Shu had the intention of being the emperor, which was a rebellion. If he rebels, won't the general become a relative of the thief, and how can the world tolerate the general? ”
After hearing this, Lu Bu was stunned, it turned out that the trouble was so big, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Chen Gong misunderstood me!" ”
"Quick, get my daughter back." Lu Bu hurriedly ordered his general Zhang Liao to lead the troops to immediately go to recover his daughter, and detained all the people sent by Yuan Shu, and sent another person to reply to Yuan Shu, only saying that his daughter's dowry was not ready, and he couldn't do it in a hurry.
It is worth mentioning that another incident happened at this time, which angered Lu Bu.
It turned out that Lu Bu sent people to Shandong to buy horses for military use, but when he passed by Xiaopei, he was taken away by Zhang Fei.
Lu Bu was furious: "I let Liu Bei recruit troops and provide for him in Xiaopei, but I have tolerated it, but the bad-eyed thief Zhang Fei has repeatedly despised me, don't bear it, give orders, and send Xiaopei!" ”
Lü Bu was angry and attacked Xiao Pei, Liu Beibing had just recovered to six thousand, how could he be Lu Bu's opponent, he had to give up Xiao Pei, leave Xuzhou, and go to Cao Cao.
It is said that after Liu Bei abandoned Xiaopei and defected to Cao Cao, Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son also secretly took refuge in Cao Cao.
The father and son were instructed by Cao Cao to secretly damage Lu Bu's forces, first of all, not only could not let Lu Bu and Yuan Shu marry, but also made Lu Bu and Yuan Shu make enemies, and it was best to fight each other.
When Lu Bu recovered his daughter, although he detained Yuan Shu's messenger, he did not kill him, and he replied to Yuan Shu only because his daughter's dowry had not yet been prepared. Chen Deng's father and son wanted to persuade Lu Bu to escort Yuan Shu's envoy to Xu Du to be beheaded, so that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu would completely fight each other.
Chen Deng's father and son's words, coupled with Cao Cao's cooperation, in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, named Lü Bu as Xuzhou Mu and Pingdong General, Lü Bu was carried away by Cao Cao's 'good intentions', and was overjoyed to send Yuan Shu's messenger to Xudu, completely ruining the family affair with Yuan Shu.
At the beginning, Yuan Shu didn't know that Lu Bu had repented of his marriage.
As the day of becoming emperor approached, he didn't have the heart to pay too much attention to Lu Bu.
Finally, on this day, Yuan Shu took Yuan's family from Chen, Chen is Dashun, and then passed on the jade seal of the country, which is for the mandate of heaven, called the emperor Jianguo, the country name is 'Zhong Jia', the national capital is Shouchun, and the eldest son is the prince.
Called the emperor, built the country, and also established the prince, and Lu Bu's daughter was the crown princess of Neiding, so he sent someone to urge Lu Bu to immediately send the daughter to sit in the eastern harem.
At this time, Yuan Shu suddenly learned that Lu Bu had repented of his marriage, and all the envoys he sent were escorted to Xudu and beheaded by Cao Cao!
"I**" Yuan Shu was furious, he had just been called the emperor, and Lu Bu slapped him in the face, if he didn't destroy Lu Bu, wouldn't he, the emperor of the Zhong family, become a joke.
"Damn Lu Bu, the widow will cut down you to deter the princes!" Then Yuan Shu was angry and raised 210,000 troops, divided into seven routes, and killed Xuzhou, which was ready to take Lu Bu's head.
The seven-way army, traveling fifty miles a day, and plundering all the way, is not insignificant, and the destructive power is not insignificant.
Lu Bu was furious.
Chen Gong knew that it was Chen Deng's father and son who destroyed the marriage between Lu Bu and Yuan Shu, and it was Chen Deng's father and son who instigated Lu Bu to take all Yuan Shu's envoys to Xu Du to behead Cao Cao, and completely beheaded Yuan Shu. He even wondered if Chen Deng's father and son had secretly colluded with Cao Cao, otherwise why Cao Cao always cooperated with the father and son's demagogy of Lu Bu.
Chen Gong thought that if he let the father and son influence Lu Bu again, he might one day lead Lu Bu to his death, so it would be better to take the opportunity to kill the father and son.
After thinking about it, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "Today's disaster in Xuzhou is recruited by Chen Qi and Chen Deng's father and son. ”
As soon as Lu Bu heard this, it would be good for Yuan Shu to withdraw from the army, and he immediately ordered Chen Jue and Chen Deng to be taken down.
Chen Jue, Chen Deng, father and son were on the spot, and when they heard Chen Gong's words, they had already made their foreheads sweat with fright, which made Lu Bu really order them to be captured, which immediately made them extremely urgent and realized that this was the time of life and death.
Chen Gong is resourceful, Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son are not bad, Chen Deng immediately thought of the method of registration, and laughed: "The general is slow, only Yuan Shu, although the soldiers are numerous, it is a rabble division, if the general is willing to listen to my strategy, not only can he protect Xuzhou, but also capture Yuan Shu!" ”
Lu Bu was stunned at first, and immediately overjoyed, it is one thing to keep Xuzhou, if he can capture Yuan Shu alive, how can he occupy Yuan Shu's territory. At that time, his strength will definitely increase exponentially, and he hurriedly asked: "What is the plan, come quickly!" ”
