Chapter 408: Sorrowful Marriage

readx;

Liu Bei led the army into Sichuan, marched to Kuiguan, the gateway of Xichuan, and did not move. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info sent someone to report to Liu Zhang, saying that he was hungry and panicked without food and money, and he couldn't walk. coincided with the onslaught of Lu Bu's army on Jiameng Pass, and Zhang Ren was in a hurry several times and begged for intercession for fire support. Liu Zhang hurriedly sent a letter to the states and counties along the way, preparing money and food for Uncle Liu.

At the same time, Liu Zhang prepared to ride the tent curtain and banner armor, and wanted to go out of Fucheng to meet Xuande in person.

Huang Quan kowtowed and broke the blood, wiped Liu Zhang's brocade clothes all over his body, Liu Zhang secretly screamed bad luck, and shot out angrily, pushing Huang Quan down the high level, knocking two front teeth, and stepping forward left and right to push Huang Quan out of the mansion door. The world was quiet, and Liu Zhang let out a long sigh of relief.

Liu Zhang wanted to do it, but one person jumped out and knelt down in front of the steps to stop it, this person was Liu Ba, a famous man in Jingxiang, who was not opened up by Liu Biao several times, and was dissatisfied with Liu Bei's style of bullying the master, so he came to Yizhou. Liu Ba kowtowed and admonished: "The lord doesn't accept Huang Gongheng's advice, but wants to die by himself!" It is rumored that the king has a minister, and the father has a son. Huang Gongheng's words of loyalty must be obeyed. If Liu Bei is allowed to enter Sichuan, it is like welcoming the wolf and rejecting the tiger. ”

"Xuande is my brother, Anken harms me? Whoever speaks again will be killed! "Push out Liu Ba left and right.

Li Yan, Xu Jing and other ministers came out to admonish him, but the civil and military forces were all against it. Yang Song and the others were afraid that the matter would be revealed, so they hurriedly jumped out and framed him: "My lord, look back at the place where Lu Bu passed, thousands of miles of red land, rivers of blood, mourning the people, and white bones. Those who go along prosper, and those who go against it die. Worried about the destruction of the city and the death of his family, the Chinese Wu of Jinshu took care of his wife, secretly communicating with LΓΌ Bu to seek a way to survive and retreat, and no longer serve the main office. Uncle Liu Huang attacked the enemy and the outside, and the people were inside, benevolent and strong, never like Lu Thief bowed his head, with his help, he could ensure that Shu was worry-free, and the lord was worry-free. ”

Zhang Song's words made Liu Zhang's weak eyes look at the left and right civil and military, full of vigilance and hostility. Liu Zhang ignored the civil and military officials, and went straight out of the Yuqiao Gate. The people reported that the king was tired, and hung upside down on the city gate with his own rope, holding the chapter in one hand and the sword in the other, and said that if he did not obey the advice, he cut his rope and died here.

Dare to threaten labor and management? Liu Zhang was furious.

The king let out a wail, cut himself off, and fell to the ground.

Liu Zhang sent 30,000 horses to Linjiang to meet Liu Bei, loaded the carts with horses, and more than 1,000 cars of food and silk. Liu Bei's heart was full of joy, this trip to Xichuan was not in vain, he gave alms to the people along the way with the materials that could not be taken away, and used Liu Zhang's materials to win over Liu Zhang's people, Liu Zhang praised Liu Bei as a benevolent elder. The people received the benefits, and under the encouragement of those who were kind, they helped the old and the young, looked at the road and watched, burned incense and worshipped.

Seeing that the matter was urgent, Huang Quan asked Liu Zhang for an errand to welcome Nanban, and went to Jiangyang County.

When the news reached Jiameng Pass, Lu Bu let out a long sigh, sounded Gao Shun's former admonitions, and sighed: Whoever breaks the family and dies the country, he is not a wise person without loyal ministers, but he can't use his ears.

"The herald ordered to retire for three days, and the whole army hung filial piety and held a funeral for Wang Lei, a famous man in Shu."

A general order flew out of Lu Bu's camp and spread throughout the army, and the army that was attacking Jiameng Pass retreated like a tide. Zhang Renchang, who was on the pass, let out a long breath of turbidity, seeing that the pass was about to be broken, under the bombardment of the enemy's thunderbolts, the rammed earth on the wall of the pass was burned into scorched earth, and his fingers were easily crushed into powder. Zhang Ren was puzzled.

The next day, Lu Bu's whole army was dressed in linen and filial piety, and the general of Shuzhong was surprised: "Could it be that Lu Bu died violently?" ”

Xizuo sent back the news that Lu Bu had erected a mound for the king on the top of Baishui Mountain. Zhang Renhan was like rain, and he exclaimed: "The husband is a good plan, and Yizhou is difficult to protect." ”

"What does the Admiral mean by this?" Ling Bao asked.

Zhang Ren's face was full of gloom: "Lu Bu is attacking the heart." Attack the heart of my Lord. Chengdu is rumored to be full of civil and military secrets with Lu Bu, and my lord is suspicious, and Lu Bu's move is undoubtedly based on the fact that Wang Lei, Huang Quan and others strongly oppose the fact that the lord welcomes Liu Bei and others secretly communicates with Lu Bu. ”

Zhang Ren and others only knew one thing, but they didn't know the other, Lu Bu also sent Liu Bei a great favor, pushed Liu Bei to Liu Zhang, and accelerated Liu Zhang's dependence on Liu Bei, so as to exacerbate the break between the two with the next arrangement.

On the second day, Zhang Xiu asked to see him outside the tent.

"General, the main general of the confrontation is my senior brother Zhang Ren. When I have come from afar, will I not bow down? I ask for the General's permission. ”

"Do you mean to say that he is coming?" Lu Bu said happily.

Zhang Xiu shook his head: "Senior brother has courage and ambition, how can he rebel and join the enemy." ”

is also right, Zhang Ren is a rare loyal and good man in Yizhou, just like Wang Tired, he swears not to surrender. It's a pity that such a talent actually followed Liu Zhang's muddy path to the night, and Lu Bu was not lacking in envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Isn't it a design?"

"This ...... I ask the general to forgive me, but the general just wants to visit the old man, and has no other intentions. ”

Lu Bu was relieved, what he hated most in his life was the betrayal of his friends, if Zhang Xiu really wanted to pit Zhang Ren, even if the starting point was for Lu Bu's interests, Lu Bu would question Zhang Xiu's character. He patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder with relief: "Let's go and reminisce, there is me on the battlefield, you don't have to love the battlefield." ”

Lu Bu attacked Jiameng Pass with artillery fire all day long, but in fact, he didn't make any effort, just to push Liu Bei and let Liu Bei smoothly lead his troops into Xichuan. Otherwise, under the continuous flow of kerosene, it will be easy to ignite the entire city.

Lu Bu's eyes had already skipped over Jiameng Pass, and his eyes had already flown to Jianguan and Fucheng. Unfortunately, he didn't have an accurate map of Xichuan.

"General, Jingzhou celebrity, Huang Chengyan, the head of the Huang family, asks to see him outside the camp."

Just when Lu Bu frowned, the soldier reported.

"Please." Lu Bu dropped the map and personally went to the outside of the camp with the soldiers to greet him. A middle-aged man was looking around outside the gate, nodding and shaking his head at Lu Bu's camp.

"Could it be that Your Excellency is the Great General Lu Fengxian?" When Huang Chengyan saw Lu Bu, his eyes lit up, he thought that Lu Bu would make a score, but he didn't expect Lu Bu to go out to greet him in person. Lu Bu's reputation among the big families is not mixed.

"It's down there, but it's Huang Yueying's father, Mr. Huang?"

"It's the grass people, the grass people meet the general."

Lu Bu didn't wait for Huang Chengyan to kneel down and salute, and held his hands up.

Huang Chengyan is a celebrity after all, and he doesn't want to break his temperament, so he takes advantage of the situation: "The grass people came suddenly, and they didn't prepare a generous courtesy, so I hope the army won't be surprised." After speaking, he stuffed a gift slip into Lu Bu's hand, there was nothing, hundreds of carts of food, iron and other materials, this gift is not thick?

In this current climate, the more gifts you give, the more respect you have, and of course you can also look at it as a bribe.

Lu Bu warmly welcomed Huang Chengyan into the tent and sat down as guests. Huang Chengyan baked on the stove, and said tentatively: "Thanks to the general's love, this kid didn't cause trouble to the general, right?" ”

"Ugly?" Lu Bu didn't understand for a while, and slapped his forehead: "Mr. Huang Yueying Huang girl is talking about?" ”

"Exactly, this child has been born ugly since he was a child, and his nickname is Ugly, which makes the general laugh."

"Miss Huang is not ugly at all. Ah, Miss Huang is designing a ship in the dockyard, so I'll send someone to invite it. Lu Bu said the truth, in his eyes, not only is she not ugly, but she is still a very beautiful girl.

"Is that true?" Huang Chengyan was overjoyed when he saw that Lu Bu was not saying flattering words. As soon as the words changed, he said straight to the point: "I, the Xiangyang Huang family, want to fully support the general, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

The benefits of sending it to the door, how can it be pushed outward, as long as the Huang family does not stumble on Lu Bu, it is too late for Lu Bu to welcome. Of course, the essence of the family is that it is not profitable to be early, and Lu Bu asked directly: "I don't know what I need to do?" ”

"The general should know that interests are mutually beneficial and mutually beneficial based on trust. Although I believe in the general's sincerity, it is difficult to move the family members to unite their hearts, and I must give them a moment of reassurance. Huang Chengyan said in embarrassment.

"Sir, just make it clear."

"Marriage." Huang Chengyan carefully observed the changes in Lu Bu's expression, and said slowly: "From the standpoint of the family, only marriage can ensure long-term benefits. ”

"Ben still has a son and a daughter under his knees who are not married, but they are still young." Of course, there is also an adopted daughter Cao Jie, will Lu Bu use Cao Jie for marriage? Isn't this paving the way for Cao Cao? He wouldn't do that kind of thing.

The general was serious. Ugly, this child is twenty-eight years old, she is already an old girl, if she doesn't get married again, then there are guys waiting for her? If the general doesn't dislike it, it's better to ......"

"......" It seems that Huang Chengyan really copied a lot of hearts for Huang Yueying's marriage, and cheekily said that he was close to Zhuge Liang, and now he came to Hanzhong from Jingzhou, and he did not hesitate to marry the whole family as a dowry, and he also wanted to marry this girl out.

Lu Bu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Maybe there is not much difference between me and my husband, how can I delay Miss Huang's good years in her twilight years." ”

"Isn't the general looking down on ugly?" The joy on Huang Chengyan's face gradually put away, and he asked with a little anger.

"It's because I'm old."

"The general is not old, and his demeanor is the same as that of a strong guy. So why postpone? Besides, isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines? ”

"But I already have a family, wouldn't Miss Huang be wronged if she was a concubine? Wouldn't it disgrace the reputation of the Huang family? Lu Bu likes Huang Yueying very much, Cai Yan is dangling in front of his eyes, and he can appreciate it with the eyes of a normal man, but when it comes to pushing down, he doesn't want to carry too many feelings between men and women.

"As long as the general agrees, whether it is a wife or a concubine, my Xiangyang Huang clan will definitely support the general's great cause."

"Well, it would be hypocritical for me to postpone it any longer. If it is the day when the world is peaceful, I will carry a sedan chair to marry Miss Huang. While Lu Bu compromised, he also gave Huang Chengyan a problem, he didn't know if he could see the world of great unification, and Jingzhou now didn't know who would end up in the hands, and this matter would be delayed first.

In fact, Huang Yueying is also quite pitiful, her eyes are above the top, and it is difficult for ordinary men to enter her eyes. Of course, Lu Bu will not consider Huang Yueying's wishes, Huang Yueying has long wanted to marry a hero, if Lu Bu was willing, he would have put big characters on the bed long ago......

mentioned Jingzhou, Huang Chengyan sighed long: "Liu Jingsheng has no successor, and the wolves look around. Jingzhou's prospects are truly worrying. I came here under Liu Jingzhou's secret order to form an alliance with the general to resist Cao. ”
