Chapter 55: Luo Shen proposes

"My lord, now that the epidemic in Jizhou has just passed, it is really not appropriate to use swords again. The only way to do this is to recuperate. Today, my Hebei strength is far superior to Cao Ying, as long as the benevolent government is implemented, it can be surrendered without a fight. The frustration on the left was the first to speak.

"Mr. Gong and Mr. are not good at this, I think I have 700,000 people with armor in Hebei, and I want to clean up the little Cao Ying, but I can't catch it? Sir, you must be too careful! Guo Tu on the right said with a smile.

"Mr. Gongze, although our army is numerous, it is not as elite as Cao's army, and it is advantageous to delay the war. Although Cao's army is elite, it is not as powerful as our army's food, and it is advantageous to fight in a hurry. Therefore, I thought that the lord should be a deep ditch barrier, hold on to the Cao army, and when his food is exhausted, it can be broken. "Frustrated, not slow, not in a hurry.

"The public is very true. The lord, when Feng thinks that he is guarded, he can send elite cavalry to attack and disturb Yanyu, cut off his grain route, so that he can not take care of both the end and the end, and he is tired of running for his life, so Cao Ying will be broken. Tian Feng saw that he was frustrated, and hurriedly added on the side.

"Cao Ying is experienced in soldiers, and An Neng doesn't know how to protect the grain road? Besides, the army of 700,000 in Hebei Province is invincible against its 70,000? Yuan Hao was too worried. The judge said proudly on the side.

"Huh?" Yuan Shao listened to it for a long time, but still felt that the words of the trial were the most pleasant. Tian Feng and Fu Zhu opened their mouths to recuperate or hold on, but now that Lao Tzu's strength is the best in the world, how can there be any reason to shrink and wait for someone to fight. Seeing that Xin Ping and the Xin Bi brothers also agreed with the words of the match, they were now frustrated and Tian Feng's repeated exhortations, and prepared to gather troops and fight Cao Ying to the death.

"My lord, if you start a war with Cao Ying, why don't you join forces with Liu Bei in Xuzhou?" At this time, Xu You, who had not spoken, suddenly said, and then added his own reasons: "Cao Ying invaded Xuzhou for several years, slaughtered the people, and fought with Liu Bei in Yuzhou the year before last, and the two sides can be described as deep as the sea. If he can unite with Liu Bei and let him march into Yanzhou from the east, Cao Ying will definitely be overwhelmed and tired of coping. ”

"Well, this one!" Yuan Shaozheng was noncommittal, and Feng Ji on the side already sneered: "Brother Ziyuan, Liu Bei is a weaving mat and selling shoes, and he is lucky to sit in the state and county." Now that I am attacking Cao in Hebei, if he knows each other, he will defend the door, otherwise the lord will clean up with him! ”

"That's right!" Yuan Shao never thought that Liu Bei had any ability, and he didn't listen to Xu You's words at the moment, so he didn't go to unite with Liu Bei, and then announced the end of the court meeting. "Think, stay." Yuan Shao dismissed all the civil and military officials, but left his eldest son Yuan Tan alone, and the father and son came to Yuan Shao's study to continue the detailed discussion.

"Xiansi, why are you reluctant to marry Miss Zhen?" After sitting down, Yuan Shao asked his eldest son with some confusion. He knew that Yuan Tan was quite infatuated with this Zhen Jiang in the past, but now that the wedding date is approaching, he is a little flickering and refuses to complete the marriage.

"Father doesn't know!" Yuan Tan lowered his voice and said in Yuan Shao's ear. "Is there such a thing?" Yuan Shao was also stunned when he heard this.

"That's true, this is what Zhen Jiang's personal maid said. When she was in Huainan, she was kidnapped by thieves and was rescued by the Xuzhou army. Since she was robbed, I am afraid that she is no longer innocent, and the third prince of my Yuan family, who originally married the daughter of a businessman, has already promoted her. Now that he is not perfect, how can he marry again? Yuan Tan said eloquently, looking at Yuan Shao's expression softened slightly, but he was thinking in his heart that Mr. Guo's reasoning was really useful to his father.

It turned out that when Yuan Tan learned that Zhen Jiang was robbed, he immediately felt that she was not worthy of him, so he wanted to regret his marriage. But he knew that his father was very stubborn, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to move. At this time, Guo Tu told him that it was best to use Yuan Shao's good face to move him. Yuan Tan followed his words, and his words really made Yuan Shao a little moved.

"But if you regret your marriage, what about the Zhen family?" Yuan Shao also had a headache: he was sitting in Hebei, and he couldn't do without the support of the Zhen family. Now that Yuan Tan has repented of his marriage, what should he do? However, Guo Tu had already thought of a countermeasure for Yuan Tan, and then Yuan Tan said: "The five daughters of the Zhen family are all beautiful and fragrant. Although the child cannot marry him, the second brother and the third brother are okay. Wouldn't it be wonderful that the father persuaded the Zhen family to choose another daughter to marry the second brother on the grounds that the child had been in the army for a long time and had no time to start a family? ”

"Makes sense!" Yuan Shao also bowed slightly. A few days later, Yuan Shao personally met with Zhen Fei, the head of the Zhen family, and in addition to canceling the original marriage contract between Yuan Tan and Zhen Jiang, he also finalized the marriage of Yuan Shao's second son, Yuan Xi, to the Zhen family's youngest daughter, Zhen Mi.

When the news reached Zhen Jiang and Zhen Mi, who were in the Zhen family's business in Xuzhou, the sisters suddenly sank in their hearts. "Sister, why does that Yuan Tan want to regret his marriage?" Zhen Mi said a little angrily, in her opinion, her sister is the most gentle and beautiful woman in the world, Yuan Tan actually doesn't want her, that's really the wrong medicine.

"What a terrible thing people say!" Zhen Jiang smiled reluctantly, and his heart was also sad. Rubbing his sister's head, Zhen Jiang asked again, "How are you doing with that little sister?" ”

"What else, I have to marry that Yuan Xi!" Zhen Mi also lost her spirit when she heard this, maybe this is the sadness of being in a wealthy family, the sisters are relatively speechless. After a long time, Zhen Mi suddenly looked up at her sister and said resolutely: "Sister, I must not let you not get married." Don't worry, my little sister will definitely be able to find you a satisfactory Langjun! ”

"Little sister?" Zhen Jiang looked at his always naughty sister with some surprise, he had never seen her so determined.

In the evening of that day, just as Zhao Feng was returning home to prepare for dinner, an uninvited guest came to his house. "Miss Zhen?" Zhao Feng looked at the little girl in front of him, she hadn't seen her for a few months, and she had become more and more upside down.

"General Zhao, Zhen came uninvited, I hope you don't be surprised!" Zhen Mi is old-fashioned and authentic. "Don't dare, Miss Zhen, please come in!" Zhao Feng was a little funny, but he still invited this little aunt and grandmother into the door, and at the same time secretly sent someone to inform Guan Ping.

In the jewelry store before, Zhen Mi had a relationship with Diao Chan. Although it was not very pleasant at the time, Diao Chan naturally did not hold a grudge against this little girl, and greeted her with a smile when she took the initiative to visit. However, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan quickly saw that this little girl seemed to have something on her mind today, and she always looked like she wanted to talk and stopped, chatting with them with or without a match.

But fortunately, Zhen Mi didn't let them wait long, and after only chatting a few words, he said straightforwardly: "General Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, I really don't hide it, Zhen came here today to discuss important matters." Seeing that she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she used the words of entertainment between adults, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan were secretly funny.

"I don't know what Miss Zhen is about!" Zhao Feng also said with a smile.

"Don't hide it, Zhen came this time, but he proposed marriage for his sister!" Zhen Mi can be said to be speechless, and Zhao Feng and Diao Chan were suddenly dumbfounded as soon as these words came out.

"Don't believe it!" Zhen Mi saw that the expressions of the two were very strange, and immediately knew that they didn't believe in themselves too much, and in a hurry, the children's demeanor reappeared, and the previous pretense was deep and gone.

In Zhen Mi's somewhat annoyed and anxious voice, Zhao Feng and Diao Chan finally understood the reason for the matter. "Yuan Tan has withdrawn?" Zhao Feng was a little unimaginable, just because Zhen Jiang had been kidnapped, this kid was so clean that he wanted to withdraw from the marriage?

"yes!" Zhen Mi also looked at Zhao Feng pitifully.

"So you're going to propose marriage to your sister, and you found me?" Zhao Feng said a little funny.

"yes!" Zhen Mi continued to say pitifully.

"Why me? You must know that your sister is not unable to get married. Zhao Feng was a little puzzled.

"What a terrible man! My sister has been kidnapped by thieves, what will the world think of her? Who else but you and me would believe that she is innocent? Zhen Mi said a little helplessly.

"I believe I believe it!" It was Guan Ping who came in a hurry.

Zhen Mi glanced at Guan Ping, then pointed to the people in the room and said to Zhao Feng: "Even if you add him, the whole world believes that my sister is innocent, that is, you, me and him." ”

"I believe it too!" Diao Chan on the side smiled.

"That's it, it's only four!" Zhen Mi stretched out her right hand and swung five fingers. "You can count the light on one hand, it's really a little less!" Zhao Feng also sighed.

"But General Zhao, you are different, my sister she was saved by you, if she is committed to marrying you, the world will only treat her as a repayment. Besides," Zhen Mi said here also deliberately paused, and then said: "Besides, my sister also has a good impression of General Zhao!" It's just that it's hard to say it yourself now! ”

"Huh?" Zhao Feng was not too surprised by this result, but when he really heard Zhen Mi say it, he was still a little caught off guard. Although he was happy in his heart, he didn't dare to show it on his face, didn't he see Diao Chan's eyes staring at his face.

"That's the case, General Zhao, although I, Zhen Mi, am young, I also know that the treasure of a thousand gold is easy to obtain, and the lover is difficult to find. My sister and I have had a deep love affair since childhood, and I can't bear to see her sad now. Moreover, as far as I can see, General Zhao is not unintentional towards his sister. Since it is a mutual agreement, Zhen Mi implored General Zhao to propose to the Zhen family as soon as possible, so as to take advantage of the loneliness of the sister! After speaking, Zhen Mi begged to be on the ground again.

"Miss Zhen, please get up!" Zhao Feng sighed in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhen Mi. Guan Ping and Diao Chan were also embarrassed when they heard this, Guan Ping first said: "General Zhao, I think this is the case, you should go and propose to the Zhen family!" ”

"Yes, husband!" Diao Chan didn't say anything, just nodded. Seeing the two of them like this, Zhao Feng looked at Zhen Mi's expectant eyes again, recalled the bits and pieces between him and Zhen Jiang, and after a burst of emotion in his heart, he nodded solemnly to Zhen Mi.

A few days later, after Liu Bei learned about this, he also sighed at the matter between Zhao Feng and Zhen Jiang. Subsequently, Liu Bei worshiped Zhao Feng as the general of Dangkou, with a rank of 2,000 stones, and attached his own handwritten letter to propose relatives to Zhao Feng. As for all the other expenses, it was the cheap big brother Zhao Yu who bore it.
