In just a few months, Sun Ce went from a poor worm under a parasitic fence with only a few hundred of his father's old department in his hands to rise like a rocket, occupying six counties in a row and dominating Jiangdong, which shocked the princes of the world.

However, Jiangdong does not belong to the Central Plains in the end, and the princes' eyes are more focused on the competition for the Central Plains, and before the news of Sun Ce's occupation of the six counties of Jiangdong came, the news that shocked the princes had already come from Guanzhong.

Hanzhong Hou Liu Yu sent 80,000 troops to conquer Guanzhong Li Dao and Guo Yan, only two months before and after, not only defeated Li Dao and Guo Yan to occupy Guanzhong, but also defeated Han Sui and Ma Teng's coalition army, surrendered Han Sui and Ma Teng, and occupied Liangzhou, occupying the entire seventeen counties of Guanzhong and Liangzhou at once, plus the existing five counties such as Hanzhong and Shangyong, Hanzhong Marquis Liu Yu suddenly had the territory of 22 counties.

Moreover, it was Guanzhong and Liangzhou, one of the capitals of the two Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo also rose there, and Liu Yu's territory suddenly expanded so rapidly that it was extremely terrifying.

Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Liu Zhang, the three great princes closest to Liu Yu, all felt a chill down their backs and were deeply afraid of Liu Yu.

If it weren't for Liu Zhang's incompetence, Yuan Shao's failure to destroy Gongsun Zhan, and Cao Cao's failure to destroy Lu Bu and Liu Bei, these three might have conspired to unite and take advantage of Liu Yu's foothold in Guanzhong and Liangzhou's instability to crusade against Liu Yu.

Since you can't join forces to fight, you can only win over.

In July of the first year of Jianzhang, Cao Cao expressed Liu Yu in front of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty to kill Li Dao and Guo Yan, and successfully recovered Guanzhong.

At this point, Liu Yu changed from the Marquis of Hanzhong to the Marquis of Qin.

In order to win over Liu Yu, Yuan Shao also sent a messenger to congratulate, and at the same time, Liu Zhang was terrified and mobilized heavy troops to defend all the passes connecting Yizhou and Hanzhong, especially Jianmen Pass!

"Fengxiao, I'm in the limelight enough, and all the princes in the world are staring at me." Liu Yu said to Guo Jia half-jokingly.

Guo Jia smiled: "This is not a good thing. ”

Liu Yu nodded, of course it's not a good thing, only by keeping a low profile can he make a fortune in a muffled voice, and he can sit and watch the Kwantung princes fight and take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, but he doesn't let the Kwantung princes stare at him one by one.

Guo Jia thought for a while and said: "At the moment, in order to stabilize the situation in Guanzhong and Liangzhou, resume farming, and have sufficient granaries, the eldest brother may be able to defile himself a little, and let the princes of the world have an excuse to misunderstand the eldest brother and relax their defense against the eldest brother." ”

"Self-defilement?" Liu Yu was stunned for a moment, but shook his head and said: "If it is self-defiled, wouldn't it be a bad reputation, and the wise men of the world will dare to vote?" If there are not enough wise men and generals, how can they finally sweep the world? Inappropriate. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Definitely." ”

Liu Yu was puzzled: "How can it be wrong, how can Feng Xiao explain this matter?" Is there any benefit to self-destructing your reputation? ”

Guo Jia said: "Big brother thinks badly. A little self-defilement is not completely self-defiled, and in the eyes of all the wise men in the world, there are two kinds of stigma, one is incompetent, faint and hopeless, and the other is harmless and does not hinder the overall situation. ”

Guo Jia continued: "The princes of the world, it seems that Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and the like of the fourth world and the third duke, think very highly of themselves, they only need an excuse that can convince themselves in their hearts, they can despise others, and no longer take others in their eyes. It seems that Liu Zhang and other incompetent people have a narrower vision, and he only needs an excuse in his heart to convince himself, and he can also relax his vigilance against the eldest brother, and the eldest brother is to give Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang and others an excuse that can convince them of their psychology, despise the eldest brother, and relax their guard against the eldest brother. ”

Liu Yu's eyes flashed, and he asked, "How does Fengxiao want me to defile myself?" ”

Guo Jia didn't answer immediately, and only said after smiling ambiguously: "Recruit more beauties, be merry and happy, and act like lustful." ”

"Looks?" This is simple, for a man, to be lustful is as simple as releasing his nature. But Liu Yu still had questions: "Maybe you can be confused by Cao Cao?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head without hesitation and said: "Cao Cao is a real hero, not an incompetent person like Liu Zhang, nor a person like Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu who think too highly of themselves, this kind of self-defilement cannot confuse Cao Cao." ”

Guo Jia continued: "Cao Cao will be the biggest enemy of the eldest brother in the future. However, at the moment, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu have more soldiers than Cao Cao, and they can confuse Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to prevent either of them from joining forces with Cao Cao. As for Liu Zhang, if the eldest brother wants to sweep the world, he must first go down to Liu Zhang's Yizhou, and now Liu Zhang is afraid of the eldest brother like a tiger, and he pours heavy troops into Jianmen Pass to guard against the eldest brother. The danger of Jianmen Pass is not much worse than Tongguan, it is not easy to storm the Jianmen Pass of the heavy garrison, and the eldest brother can only have a self-stimulating reputation, and there will never be the slightest sign of using troops against Liu Zhang within a few years, Liu Zhang will definitely relax his guard against the eldest brother, and then try to create a rebellion behind Liu Zhang, lead Liu Zhang to transfer troops to quell the rebellion, and the eldest brother will suddenly lead the army to attack Jianmen Pass, and then he can attack Shu in one fell swoop, Liu Zhang will be destroyed, and Yizhou is also in the eldest brother's pocket! ”

After listening to Guo Jia's words, Liu Yu smiled and laughed: "Feng Xiao's clever plan, even how to attack Shu in the future and destroy Liu Zhang has been completely planned, with the assistance of Feng Xiao, why is the world unfair, just follow Feng Xiao's plan, I will defile myself!" ”

Liu Yu first gathered Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Liu Ye, Lu Qian, Man Chong and other confidants to explain the matter, in addition to these people, Liu Yu also looked at the newly invested Ma Chao very much, in order to show his trust in Ma Chao, this time he also recruited Ma Chao, and explained the matter to Ma Chao.

Ma Chao was extremely moved and became more and more loyal to Liu Yu.

Then, Liu Yu in Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places in Hanzhong, Guanzhong, Liangzhou and other places with great fanfare, the momentum is so big, for fear that the princes of the world will not know the general, in fact, Liu Yu did not really choose a few beauties, after all, these so-called beauties are more beautiful than Cai Yan?

However, since he wants to be lustful and want to be a beauty, Liu Yu thought of one person, that is, during the Three Kingdoms period, he was known as Luo Shen Zhen Mi, who was no less beautiful than Diao Chan and only slightly inferior to Cai Yan.

Taking advantage of Yuan Shao's envoy to make friends, Liu Yu sent Man Chong to go to Hebei to propose his relatives and ask Yuan Shao for Zhen Mi in person.

"Propose?" Yuan Shao kissed the words full of favor, and said with a surprised face: "Who are you going to marry the Marquis of Qin?" Isn't it a little girl? ”

Yuan Shao's eyes lit up, and he almost couldn't help laughing, but unfortunately Man Pet interrupted his fantasy.

Man Zhong said: "It's not the daughter of Yuan Gong, but Wuji County, Zhongshan Country, Zhen Luo, Zhen Family." ”

Zhen Mi's real name should actually be called Zhen Luo, and the reason why he is called Zhen Mi by later generations is because Cao Zhi gave Zhen Luo a poem to make Zhen Luo the ancient Luoshen, and Luo Shen is the daughter of Fuxi, named Concubine Mi. Therefore, Zhen Luo is also called Zhen Mi, Luo Shen, and Concubine Mi.

Yuan Shao was taken aback, of course he knew that Zhen Luo of the Zhen family was his future daughter-in-law, and Liu Yu actually wanted to marry her? Then he said with dissatisfaction: "Zhen Luo has promised to marry my son Yuan Xi, and he is about to become my daughter-in-law, how can he marry Qin Hou, ridiculous!" ”

This is not just a woman's problem, but about the face of the fourth and third dukes of his Yuan family.

Man Zhong was not surprised that Yuan Shao would refuse, he asked: "Dare to ask Yuan Gong, have you hired the Zhen family?" ”

Yuan Shao said: "I'm about to be hired." ”

Man Pet smiled: "Just about to be hired, but not yet hired." My Qin Hou had heard that Zhen Luo of the Zhen family was the first beauty in Hebei, and he missed it deeply. My Qin Marquis asked me to inform Yuan Gong that if I marry Zhen Luo, then my Qin Marquis and Yuan Gong will be friends from now on, Yuan Gong will attack Cao Cao if he wants to attack Cao Cao, and if he wants to destroy Gongsun Zhan, he will destroy Gongsun Zhan, and my Qin Marquis will support Yuan Gong. ”

On the other hand, if there is no friendship, no matter whether Yuan Shao wants to attack Cao Cao or kill Gongsun Zhan, he has to prevent Liu Yu from pulling him back.

Yuan Shao was furious, but he didn't dare to express his position immediately.

Seeing the situation, he didn't force Yuan Shao too much, so he said: "Yuan Gong think about it, I'll retire first." ”

After the full favor left, Yuan Shao gathered the civil and military generals to come to discuss, Wen Youtian Feng, Fu Zhu, Xu You, Feng Ji, Guo Tu, and six people. Wu has Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, and the four court pillars are high.

In front of all the civil and military officials, Yuan Shao said angrily: "Liu Shimin is bold, asking for a beautiful woman is actually asking for my Yuan family's daughter-in-law, ridiculous, shameless, where is the face of my fourth and third dukes, I want to raise an army to fight against him!" ”

"We are willing to be the striker of the lord!" Yan Liang, Wen Chou, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other Hebei four court pillars stood up together, quite powerful.

"My lord, don't start a war with Liu Shimin." Xu Yu stopped.

Yuan Shao nodded and asked, "Why?" ”

In fact, Yuan Shao didn't plan to really raise troops to crusade against Liu Yu, the reason why he said that was just to maintain his dignity and prestige, Xu You knew Yuan Shao's mind best, so he was the first to stand up and stop it.

Xu Yu said: "That Liu Shimin occupies 22 counties such as Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou, with strong strength, and the danger of Tongguan, it is difficult to attack and destroy Liu Yu without hundreds of thousands of troops. The lord has not been hired, then Zhen Luo is not the daughter-in-law of the lord, even if he has been hired, what about Liu Yu, the world will only say that the lord is magnanimous, the beauty of adults, and has great ambitions, and that Liu Yu is a womanizer, it is difficult to achieve great things, why does the lord regret a woman in the world? ”

In an instant, Xu You had a plan, and he continued with a smile: "The lord not only promised that Liu Shimin, but also accepted Zhen Luo as a righteous daughter, and sent Zhen Luo to Liu Shimin with great fanfare, so that the princes of the world mistakenly thought that Liu Yu had formed an alliance with the lord, and while the princes were afraid, the lord went all out to destroy Gongsun Zan in the north, and then went south to destroy Cao, then Liu Yu is not worried, and the world can be decided." ”

Xu You's words won Yuan Shao's heart the most, Yuan Shao didn't hesitate to be a woman, and the person he was worried about was just the face of the fourth world and the third duke, he laughed and said: "Okay, according to this, I am the world, why not cherish a woman." ”

On the same day, Yuan Shao sent someone to inform the Zhen family of Liu Yu's proposal to marry, and explained that he would accept Zhen Luo as a righteous daughter, and then ceremoniously sent Zhen Luo to Guanzhong to marry Liu Yu.

The Zhen family was stunned, it was obviously decided that Zhen Luo would marry Yuan Xi, and the date of the next appointment and the day of marriage had been agreed, and suddenly Zhen Luo was going to be accepted as a righteous daughter, and Zhen Luo was sent to Guanzhong to marry Qin Hou Liu Yu, this, this ......

However, Yuan Shao is the overlord of Hebei, and although the Zhen family is also a powerful person in Hebei, how can they resist Yuan Shao, not to mention that there is also a Qin Marquis Liu Yu who occupies 22 counties in the world.

The Zhen family was able to follow Cao Cao and stand in the court of Wei after the fall of Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period, and there was a certain amount of wisdom, and the patriarch of the Zhen family, that is, Zhen Luo's grandfather, knew that this was an opportunity for the Zhen family.

At this time, Yuan Shao lost money to the Zhen family, and if Yuan Shao won the world in the future, he would not treat the Zhen family badly. And Qin Marquis Liu Yu, the patriarch of the Zhen family is also quite optimistic, if Liu Yu wins the world in the future, he will marry the daughter of the Zhen family, and he will not treat the Zhen family badly.

The Zhen family seems to be a disaster, but they successfully bet on the two princes at the same time with this matter.

As soon as Zhen Luo left, Yuan Shao was promoted to the official position of Zhen Luo's father, and Cai Ling was promoted to the prime minister of Zhongshan from a single introduction, and many other children of the Zhen family were appointed, and the Zhen family was more powerful in the local area than before.

In addition to following Xu You's plan, Yuan Shao accepted Zhen Luo as a righteous daughter, and sent Zhen Luo to Guanzhong with great fanfare, but also privately sent people to spread rumors about Liu Yu, saying that Liu Yu was lustful, and heard that Zhen Luo was the first beauty in Hebei, so he did not hesitate to threaten to move troops to marry Zhen Luo, Yuan Shao compromised for the people under him not to be bullied after going to Guanzhong, and also accepted Zhen Luo as a righteous daughter, which can be described as great benevolence and righteousness.

Suddenly, Liu Yu's lustful reputation spread all over the world, and the princes were shameless, but Yuan Shao became Liu Yu's 'father-in-law' by accepting Zhen Luo as his righteous daughter, as if Liu Yu had formed an alliance with the facts, and Yuan Shao's prestige was greatly enhanced.

The princes were even more afraid of Yuan Shao, who was already powerful, and their attention and precautions for Liu Yu were really lax.

With Yuan Shu as the most, Nanyang County, the former foundation of Yuan Shu, was very close to Shangyong, Liu Yu's power suddenly expanded rapidly, and Yuan Shu was nervous for a while, for fear that Liu Yu would beat him Nanyang County's idea, but now it's okay, Liu Yu doesn't seem to be afraid, Yuan Shu refocused his attention on Liu Bei's life and the emperor.

However, Cao Cao didn't care about this matter, and he didn't feel that Liu Yu was really not a concern, he thought that even if the superior was lustful, what did it matter, the most important thing was to know people and be clear, assisted by wise men and fierce generals, Liu Yuwen had Guo Jia, Liu Ye, Lu Qian, Wu Guan Yu, Zhao Yun, and Tian Ma Chao, Pang De and other fierce generals who were hard to find in the world.

Cao Cao did not relax his guard against Liu Yu at all, but he was also ready to send a generous gift to congratulate Liu Yu and Zhen Luo on the day of their wedding, at least for the time being, he still hoped to be as good as possible with Liu Yu, and when he solved Lu Bu and Liu Bei, it was not too late to revisit the relationship with Liu Yu.

……

A team of soldiers sent by Man Chong and Yuan Shao escorted Zhen Luo to Hanoi's territory to guard Zhang Yang's territory.

Zhang Yang and Yuan Shao did not deal with each other, but he did not dare to offend Yuan Shao and Liu Yu at the same time, so Manzhong and the others went all the way, and soon crossed the Yellow River and Tongguan to enter the Guanzhong territory.

Zhen Luo sat in the carriage, dressed in a red wedding dress, as beautiful as a fairy, but there was a deep sadness between her eyebrows, as if she was sighing the helplessness of her fate.

When she was young, Zhen Luo loved to read, and her brothers laughed at her for wanting to be a female doctor, and Zhen Luo replied: "I heard that virtuous women in ancient times learned from the experience of their predecessors and used them for reference." If you don't read, what can you learn from? ”

The brothers didn't dare to laugh at her anymore, so they learned to be full of literary talent.

When he was ten years old, the Yellow Turban was in turmoil, and when he saw that countless people in the township were struggling with hunger, he knew that he persuaded his parents to give a lot of food to help the victims in the township, so that the Zhen family was more respected and loved by the local people, and it was the time for kindness to be demonstrated.

Born in a powerful family, talented, beautiful, and kind-hearted, Zhen Luo is almost a perfect woman.

When she was fourteen years old, she saw Yuan Xi for the first time, she saw that Yuan Xi was gentle and elegant, and Yuan Xi also loved her very much, and wanted to marry her as a wife, and she had already set the date of appointment and the date of marriage, which was almost equivalent to stepping into the door of the Yuan family and becoming the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family.

Zhen Luo doesn't hate, doesn't complain, only sighs that his fate is not good, in such a troubled world, as a woman, there are not many choices, what she asks for is just a husband who can protect herself in troubled times and cherish herself.

Zhen Luo's sigh happened to be heard by Man Favor, Man Pet thought about it and said: "Madame doesn't need to sigh, my Qin Marquis is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, and the people love him, and it is a blessing for Madam to marry my Qin Hou." ”

What can Zhen Luo say, whether it is a blessing or a curse, it is doomed, and fate is just. In fact, it is not the first time she has heard of Liu Yu's name, the three horsemen seized the city, Shangyong Taishou, one of the princes of the Nineteenth Road, occupying the vast territory of Hanzhong, Guanzhong, and Liangzhou in the twenty-two counties, even if she is really a lustful person, she is not a hero in troubled times, she is not disagreeing with her fate, just ask that Qin Marquis Liu Yu can keep her a little respect.

……

Chang'an City.

Liu Yu knew Yuan Shao's small actions well, if it weren't for Yuan Shao's secret sending people to spread rumors, his 'lustful' reputation would not have spread so quickly, Yuan Shao was not upright, but he did him a favor invisibly.

Liu Yu joked to Guo Jia: "Fengxiao's plan has ruined my reputation, but whatever!" ”

Guo Jia smiled disapprerovingly: "Although the reputation of the eldest brother is damaged, the real wise men in the world will analyze the rise of the eldest brother, and look at the talent and virtue of the eldest brother, rather than believing in any lustful rumors and believing that the eldest brother is immoral and incompetent." ”

Cao Cao is not lustful? Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang, Liu Biao and the like are not lustful? I thought about it too much, but only Liu Yu showed it so clearly that he gave the princes an excuse to slander and underestimate him, not to mention the real Magi, the real hero such as Cao Cao, so he didn't pay attention to Liu Yu's lustful words and despised Liu Yu.

Only Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang, etc., who think highly of themselves and are incompetent, will be confused by Liu Yu's behavior.

Two days later, the sergeant came to report that Zhen Luo was about to arrive in Chang'an City.

This is an auspicious time, and Xitang has been prepared long before Zhen Luo enters Guanzhong, and he will go directly to the church when Zhen Luo arrives in Chang'an according to the auspicious time.

Liu Yu was dressed in a red robe and greeted him in person.

The moment he saw Zhen Luo, Liu Yufang knew what a fairy was, Cai Yan was already extremely beautiful, Zhen Luo was more beautiful than Cai Yan, men were lustful, they never pretended, in front of everyone, Liu Yu rushed to Xitang with Zhen Luo in his arms, and Zhen Luo's body was stiff and his face turned pale, but fortunately, when he entered the cave room, when no outsiders were present, Liu Yu recovered his gentleness.

And comforted Zhen Luo and said: "Madame, don't panic, Fang Cai is just doing it to outsiders, scaring Madame, Yu apologizes to Madame, and asks Madame to punish you." Liu Yu also smiled and bowed to Zhen Luo.

Zhen Luo's flustered heart and liver quickly stabilized, all kinds of emotions turned, she was smart, and at this moment she had understood Liu Yu's plan, she couldn't help but be angry, helpless, and wanted to laugh, all kinds of complexities are not enough for outsiders.

I don't mention the flowers and candles in the cave room.

After this incident, Liu Yu did it intentionally, and Yuan Shao added fuel to the fire, Liu Yu became synonymous with lust and depravity and not to be afraid in the impressions of the princes of the world, especially Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.

……

Using this method to confuse other princes, make other princes despise themselves even more, and not be so protective of themselves, Liu Yu is definitely not the only one, Cao Cao also did this, as blatant as Liu Yu, for fear that others would not know that he was lustful.

However, the difference is that Liu Yu did not play overturning, while Cao Cao played overturning, not only lost the general Dian Wei, but also lost his eldest son Cao Ang, nephew Cao Anmin, and tens of thousands of troops, and suffered heavy losses!

……
