0584: Persuasion

I don't know how long it took for Yan Xiu to stop laughing under Lu Bu's increasingly bitter gaze, and at the same time, a hint of crimson appeared on his cheeks, but he didn't know if it was because he was laughing too happily, or because he was a little embarrassed because he was laughing at Lu Bu like this.

Seeing this, Lu Bu looked at Yan Xiu's forced smile, and asked angrily, "What does Xiu'er think she should do now?" I'm worried that if this continues, the main guild will directly recall me back to Luoyang after a while, and I will be beaten in the corner......"

Hearing Lu Bu's words full of depression, Yan Xiu almost couldn't help but laugh out loud again. After finally controlling it, he said in a mocking tone, "What can I do?" Isn't that nice now? The appearance of the prince is the most handsome among the people the concubine has ever seen, and he is very knowledgeable, and his martial arts are even more unbeatable in the world. And in terms of reputation, who doesn't know the unequaled marquis today? ”

After a pause, Yan Xiu said again, "And the prince is the lord of the lord, if the lord accepts Wen'er, isn't it also good for the future of the lord?" Speaking of this, Yan Xiu walked to Lu Bu's side and sat down, looked at Lu Bu and said with a smile, "And the reason why the lord let Wen'er stay in the Hou Mansion is not the same thing?" ”

"That'...... Isn't that what happened before......" When Lu Bu heard this, his originally bitter expression suddenly became embarrassed, and his face began to redden, "At that time, the lord had not yet come out, and as an apprentice of the Li family, I naturally had the idea of marrying my daughter to the head of the family...... And now ......"

Well, there is nothing wrong with Lu Bu's words, in this era, the vast majority of disciples want to change, and there is basically only one way, that is, to let their daughter marry into the family of the head of the family. Whether they are married as a wife or just accepted as a concubine, as long as they enter the door of the head of the family, the status of these disciples will suddenly improve a lot.

And Lu Bu naturally had this thought at that time. Well? Li Yi is fourteen years older than Lu Wen? Tsk, what is this age gap in this era? It is also common to be around thirty, forty or fifty years old. After all, marrying a daughter is the best way to change the fate of the family, than how to get in......

This kind of thinking made Lu Bu choose to ignore Lu Wen's stay in Li Yi's mansion, not to mention that Lu Wen also likes Li Yi very much. It's just that with the improvement of his status, Lu Bu's thinking has also undergone some changes.

Today's Lu Bu, as the number one general under Li Yi, is in a high position. Moreover, Gao Shun, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Liao and others have almost all worked under Lu Bu, if they marry their daughter to Li Yi as a concubine......

And look at Li Yi's wives and concubines now, whether it is Sister Cai Yan or Sister Qiao Xin, their fathers are all in the Great Dao Academy, and they don't have any rights in their hands. And Diao Chan is naturally not to mention, just an orphan. But if Lu Bu marries Lu Wen to Li Yi as a concubine, then many things may change.

Of course, Lu Bu didn't think as far-reachingly, but he always felt that with his current status, it would not be good if he was involved with Li Yi by in-law. Although, as far as he is concerned, is absolutely willing.

However, Yan Xiu obviously doesn't have Lu Bu's messy thoughts, as Lu Wen's mother, her only thought is to hope that her daughter will have a good home. Obviously, in Yan Xiu's eyes now, no man can compare to Li Yi, let alone Lu Wen's own willingness.

Thinking of this, Yan Xiu shook his head and said, "The lord doesn't have to think about it so much, as long as Wen'er is willing, isn't it?" As for the prince, it's just a little unacceptable for a while, and after a long time, the prince will naturally know that Wen'er is good~"

"You can see ...... when you hear this," Lu Bu heard this, hugged Yan Xiu into his arms and sighed helplessly.

"That's the case~" Yan Xiujiao said with a smile, "And the lord thinks that Wen'er's fate is still something we can handle now?" ”

Hearing Yan Xiu's words, Lu Bu couldn't help but be stunned, and then suddenly came to his senses, and sighed with some tears and laughter, "Also, if the lord doesn't speak, who would dare to marry Wen'er?" ”

A girl who has lived in Li Yi's mansion since she was a child, a girl who is very pestering Li Yi and is very favored by Li Yi and his wife and concubine, and the daughter of Li Yi's number one general...... All kinds of identities make Lu Wen really look unattainable.

Of course, the most important thing is Li Yi's attitude, who doesn't know that Diao Chan, Qiao Xin and other women almost all have a relationship with Li Yi when they are less than ten years old? Just like Yan Xiu said, although Li Yi seems to be resistant, he has never explicitly rejected Lu Wen or asked her to marry!

Moreover, Lu Bu was worried that if he married Li Yi, it would be a bad situation, but if he married another general and important minister under Li Yi, it seems that the situation would be more complicated, right?

"What a Lu Fengxian! How dare you reply to me like that?! When Li Yi read Lu Bu's reply, he couldn't help but scold. However, there was no anger on his face, and there was just a kind of helplessness and entanglement.

"Hee-hee, let the lord call the shots? Isn't that great? Diao Chan, who was lying in Li Yi's arms, saw the content of the letter and immediately smiled.

"Humph!" Hearing this, Li Yi suddenly hummed depressedly, if it were normal times, Li Yi would definitely let Diao Chan taste the power of family law, but unfortunately, now Diao Chan is about to give birth, so Li Yi can only hold back an evil fire and have nowhere to vent.

And maybe it's because he knows that Li Yi doesn't dare to touch her? Diao Chan intensified his teasing of Li Yi, which made Li Yi even more depressed. After a while, he ran out of the house as if he were running away, otherwise he really didn't know if he could hold back.

Having said that, Lu Wen's incident just made Li Yi a little worried, and at most it spread in the mouths of some insiders. However, they didn't talk nonsense, but chose to wait and see silently, as mentioned earlier, there are so many people under Li Yi's command, and there are too many people to marry their daughters into the Hou Mansion, but they can't count them.

As for the people under Li Yi's rule, they naturally didn't know about it, and they were still living their lives in full swing. Especially Henan Yin, those people who were driven out by Ma Teng, regained their homes and land in Henan Yin. Especially after deeply feeling the various decrees under Li Yi's rule during this period of time, they are even more grateful to Li Yi.

Smiles began to return to their faces, and hope for the future resurfaced in their hearts, and because of this, they worked harder to produce and work, because only in this way would their lives be better.

And their behavior is exactly what Li Yi wants to see, the people work hard to produce, and in the end they will get the greatest benefits. Even if it takes two years to delay it, it's worth it. Isn't that what the so-called recuperation and recuperation is all about?

Naturally, it is impossible to hide the various changes under Li Yi's rule from others, in fact, if they can, they also want to learn from Li Yi to recuperate. For example, Cao Cao, after repelling Yuan Shu, immediately promulgated various good policies to restore the production of the territory under his rule, and at the same time, sent people to the Lang Evil Country, preparing to take his father Cao Song and his brother Cao De and others to Yanzhou.

In the past, when Cao Cao raised an army to fight against Dong Zhuo, Cao Song chose to leave Yanzhou for Xuzhou with his young son Cao De. This is not to say that he is not optimistic about Cao Cao and the coalition army, but it is just a means to protect the family. And all along, Cao Cao had no intention of taking Cao Song over. But now, Cao Cao felt that the time had come.

"Shixian, you go to Kaiyang first to visit that Zang Ba and see if there is a chance to win him over." Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhicai and said in a deep voice. Later, he told again, "He is a smart man, otherwise he would not suddenly choose to stand on his own......"

"Please rest assured, my subordinates know what to do." Xi Zhicai replied respectfully.

"Well, in addition, I will send five hundred soldiers with you, although it is unlikely, but you still have to be careful of that Tao Qian!" Cao Cao said in a deep voice.

"No!" Xi Zhicai took the order and left, but I don't know why, looking at the figure of Xi Zhicai leaving, Cao Cao always had a bad feeling in his heart.

"The Lang Evil Kingdom is on the edge of Taishan County, and the East China Sea and Pengcheng have also been captured by me. Even if the news leaked, Tao Qian didn't dare to do anything if he wanted to...... Right? Cao Cao thought secretly in his heart, then shook his head and continued to deal with government affairs. The Yellow Turban has been in turmoil for such a long time, and all parts of Yanzhou can be said to be in ruins, and all kinds of government affairs are so busy that Cao Cao can't get out.

"I don't know what's going on over there? If you can get Yingchuan in your hands......" Cao Cao thought expectantly, "Come to think of it, with Gongda's intelligence and the Xun family's connections in Yingchuan, there should be no problem." ”

Well, Cao Cao's thinking is very simple, and in fact, if no one else interferes, Yingchuan is indeed very likely to fall to Cao Cao. After all, after Yuan Shu's defeat, he not only lost Nanyang, Liangguo, Lujiang and other places, but also had various rebellions in the territory. Especially those members of the Yuan clan who chose to obey because of Yuan Shu's threat, they were plotting to flee to Jizhou to join Yuan Shao.

This made Yuan Shu not have much time to take care of other places at all, except for sending people to infiltrate Lujiang to prepare to recapture the territory of Yangzhou Jiangbei, almost all of his attention was on Runan County. After all, the population and commerce of the entire Yuzhou, except for the fiefdom of Chen Wang Liu Chong, who has always remained neutral, are mostly in Runan County. To put it simply, of the 9 million population in Yuzhou, Chen Guo and Runan County alone account for more than 6 million...... This is a very, very scary number.

And this is also the reason why Xun You took the initiative to persuade Yingchuan to defect for Cao Cao. It's just that things are obviously not as simple as Cao Cao and Xun You thought. Or when Xun You saw Xun Yu appear in front of his eyes, he knew that it would be extremely difficult to win over Yingchuan to Cao Cao's side.

"Hehe, I didn't expect my nephew to be here, but I don't know if it's to visit relatives or ......" Xun Yu looked at Xun Yu and asked with a chuckle. Well, from a very early age, because of the relationship between the same age, although they are uncles and nephews, the two of them are commensurate with each other. But now Xun Yu suddenly changed his name, and the purpose is obviously self-evident.

Hearing Xun Yu call himself, Xun Yu suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Back to my uncle, the purpose of my nephew's trip is the same as my uncle." ”

"I see~ Then I guess the virtuous nephew has already visited his uncle? The result? Xun Yu nodded when he heard this, and asked casually.

"Uncle and grandfather said to think about it......" Xun You thought about it, and finally chose to tell the truth.

"Haha, it seems that my father-in-law still has a chance~" Xun Yu said, and strode towards the back room. Seeing this, Xun You did not shy away from suspicion, and walked in directly. In this regard, Xun Yu didn't care about it. After all, Xun You is also a member of the family, so he is naturally qualified to participate in the clan meeting. And the two have been friends since childhood, but they don't want to turn their faces because of this kind of thing. After all, the two worked for Li Yi and Cao Cao, not only to show what they had learned in their lives, but also to protect and strengthen the Xun family in this troubled world.

As soon as he entered the door, Xun Yu saw that there were already several people waiting for him in the house. In the middle of the day, he is the current head of the Xun family, the youngest of the Xun Eight Dragons, and the only Xun Yang who is still alive. The few people next to him are the elders of the clan.

After Xun Yu Shili took his seat, Xun Yang asked faintly, "Wen Ruo, are you also here to be a lobbyist?" ”

"Exactly! This time, the nephew came on the order of the lord, hoping that the uncle could use the influence of the Xun family in Yingchuan to make Yingchuan fall to the lord. Xun Yu replied respectfully.

"That's ......" Xun Yang nodded when he heard this, but didn't say anything more.

Seeing this, Xun Yu spoke again, "Uncle, if it has become a great chaos today, all the heroes of all parties are fighting each other for their own selfishness, only the lord of my family, in order to help the Han family, sent troops to Chang'an, trying to rescue the saint in danger. It's a pity that the horse thief actually pushed hundreds of thousands of people to the lord, so that the lord had to stop the offensive to settle these people......"

After a pause, Xun Yu said again, "In addition, the fierce generals under the command of my lord are like clouds and strategists, and the Wushuang Battalion, the Flying Cavalry Battalion, and the Trap Camp are the strongest elite troops in the world. At the same time, there is also the Great Dao Academy, which has countless great Confucian ......"

Xun Yu kept talking about Li Yi's advantages, although these things were very clear to Xun Yang and the others, but when they heard Xun Yu say it like a few treasures, they couldn't help but sigh again. Because, these advantages are too obvious compared to others, or compared to Cao Cao and Yuan Shu.

However, the advantages are obvious, and the disadvantages are also obvious......

"Uncle and grandfather, maybe the truth is as my uncle said, but since there are so many capable people under the command of Wushuang Hou, what can I get from my Xun clan taking refuge in the past?" Xun You opened his mouth to persuade. "Moreover, since the Great Dao Academy can cultivate countless talents, it will naturally lead to the decline of the family, so even if the Wushuang Marquis still attaches importance to the Xun family, there are only one or two people who can ascend to the throne."

"Hmm......" Hearing this, Xun Yang nodded again, and his eyes fell on Xun Yu's body again.
