Chapter 499: Three Girls in One Play

Xun Yu hurried back to Changyi a year ago, so when he went south and passed through Yecheng, he passed through the city without entering, but only sent someone into the city to inform Liu He and express his gratitude. Liu He could probably guess Xun Yu's feelings after this trip, so he didn't leave him in trouble, and only sent Cheng Bing out of the city to see him off, so it was good to gather and disperse.

Not long after sending Xun Yu away, a team from Hedong to send off relatives became a hot topic in Yecheng at the end of the year.

The matter has to start from the fact that Liu He sent Zhen Yan to Anyi, Hedong, to ask Lu Bu some time ago. At that time, Jia Xu escaped from Hongnong, parted ways with Li Dao, and came directly to Liu He. When Liu He learned that Jia Xu's two sons were left in Anyi by Lu Buqiang, he sent Zhen Yan to ask for someone, on the condition that he provide Lü Bu with hundreds of thousands of stone grains to relieve Lü Bu's urgent needs. Because Liu He had already rescued Gao Shun from Li Dao before, and did some foreshadowing to subdue Gao Shun, this time he let Zhen Yan solve it after seeing Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was like a tiger trapped in a cage at this time, although he was hungry and lost his strength, but his devouring heart never changed, he listened to the pillow wind of his wife Yan, and actually climbed up the pole, and in turn asked Liu He to marry. Zhen Yan didn't want to see someone marry into the General's Mansion before his sister, so he put forward the excessive request to let Hou Cheng and Zhang Liao marry into Yecheng as Lu Niangrong's generals, so he dismissed Lu Bu's idea of dispelling Lu Bu, and as a result, Lu Bu agreed without hesitation for his own future and fate.

The matter was beyond the scope of Zhen Yan's control, and he didn't have the courage to hide it and not report it, so he had to return to Yecheng empty-handed to ask Liu He for instructions, for which Liu He was also entangled for a while, hesitating whether to spare Lu Bu's life. Liu He knows better than anyone that Hu Lu Bu is a double-edged sword, if you use it well, you can hurt others, and if you don't use it well, you will hurt yourself. This can be seen from the final fate of the two stepfathers recognized by Lu Bu.

Liu He thought that Lu Bu had helped Cai Yong and Cai Yan talk in Chang'an at the beginning, and Cai Yan had a very good personal relationship with Diao Chan, and now Lu Bu is holding Jia Xu's two sons, and he is willing to sell one to give them away, and send Gao Shun, Hou Cheng and Zhang Liao together, in order to make himself feel at ease, let Cai Yan be happy, let Jia Xu return to his heart, and for Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, two rare brave generals, Liu He finally decided to withstand the pressure of reputational damage. agreed to Lu Bu's conditions and was willing to marry Lu Bu's daughter and enter the door.

Although Liu He wished that Lu Bu would give these ministers a pension, lest this group of guys who would only talk about it go to Luoyang to make trouble for his father, but nominally he still had to denounce Lu Bu from time to time, and then refused to send troops to attack Lu Bu under the pretext of throwing rat traps.

If Liu He married Lu Bu's daughter, the reasons he used to prevaricate Luoyang would not be tenable. The royalists would have thought that Liu He had subdued Lü Bu, and that they should naturally release the ministers trapped in Anyi.

However, Liu He didn't want these ministers who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures to go back to Luoyang to cause trouble for his father!

Luoyang is now Liu Yu's Yiyantang. Although Liu Yu would not be Wang Mang, he would not hand over power to a young emperor who had no experience in governing under such a complex form, let alone hand over power to other ministers, so although Liu Yu felt a little guilty in his heart. But this powerful minister has to continue to be in power.

Liu Yu has a deep understanding of his son Liu He's ambition to swallow the sky, but he is not pedantic enough to unite with outsiders to oppose his son, and sometimes he thinks in his heart. Even if the son has come to that point, isn't this Han Dynasty still surnamed Liu? In ancient times, those virtuous emperors could give up their seats to people with capable surnames, why couldn't there be a transfer of power within the old Liu family? As long as his son Liu He can treat Emperor Ling well, just like Emperor Guangwu treated the crown prince Liu Qiang who took the initiative to resign, this battle for imperial power will not be too bloody, and it can even be handed over peacefully. Since even a person with a foreign surname like Wang Mang can usurp the country surnamed Liu, why can't he take care of the country for his ancestors after being dignified and martial?

You must know that although Wang Mang did not usurp the throne for a long time, he did end the former Han Dynasty and established a new dynasty, but many scholars refused to accept it in their hearts, and Liu Xiu, the Guangwu Emperor, was indeed a descendant of Liu Bang, so everyone deliberately ignored Wang Mang, the nail rooted between the former Han and the Later Han.

Liu Yu's current mentality is like an ostrich, he watched his son Liu He grow north of the Yellow River, but he was unwilling to interfere and ask, because he knew better than anyone that if he didn't have his son to fight in the south and the north and protect the territory and the people, the country of the Han Dynasty would have fallen apart long ago. Now many state pastors have military power in their hands, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops under their command, and there are as few as 350,000 troops, they are actually warlords who have divided the territory, and the imperial court wants to cut off the authority in their hands and carry out the central government's decrees, and they have to rely on their son Liu He to clean up these guys.

It's just that after his son finishes cleaning up these warlords, may he hand over the military power in his hands and go home to retire?

Liu Yu didn't want to know the answer, because even he couldn't accept the result of Liu He handing over the military power, let alone the loyal civil and military generals under Liu He.

Liu Yu has only one thought now, that is, he hopes that he will not see his son take that step in his lifetime, and as for what happens after his death, it depends on the will of heaven.

Liu Yu was a powerful minister against his will in Luoyang, and Liu He's life in Yecheng was not easy. It stands to reason that good news has begun to come from various places recently, the plague in the north has been effectively contained, and more than a dozen prescriptions deployed by Zhang Ji have a good effect on the treatment of typhoid diseases, and Xu Yue of the Astronomical Observatory also wrote a letter saying that the dry weather is expected to end in the spring of next year, and the resettlement of displaced people is also progressing steadily.

However, Liu He not only did not breathe a sigh of relief now, but he was sandwiched between three girls every day, and his life was gritting his teeth.

Which three women gave Liu He a headache? It is Zhen Mi, Xiao Qiao and Lu Niangrong.

Liu He has married three wives, Cai Yan, Mi Zhen and Da Qiao, and there is also a lover sister Zhao Aier who does not want an identity. Liu He went south to Yecheng, only Da Qiao followed, and after several months of hard work, Da Qiao's stomach also reacted. When Liu He was dealing with the plague in the north, he sent Da Qiao back to Jicheng, and when he returned to Yecheng again, it became a situation where the three daughters competed for marriage.

Xiao Qiao felt that she should marry into the Liu Mansion before Zhen Mi and Lu Niangrong, because she came to the north with her sister, and now that her sister is pregnant, she should be the serving general who is her sister.

Zhen Mi felt that she should marry into Liu's mansion before Xiao Qiao and Lu Niangrong, because her marriage was agreed to by Taifu Liu Yu, Xiao Qiao is just a drag oil bottle, and Liu He has never said that he wants to marry her, and the sister of the Lu family is after her, so no matter how she says, she should be the fourth lady.

Lu Niangrong, who has just arrived in Yecheng, is a little pepper who is not afraid of heaven and earth, she doesn't care what reason Zhen Mi and Xiao Qiao have, anyway, she came over this time to bring two fierce generals, who is not convinced, let's talk with our fists!

The three women live in the backyard of the General's Mansion, and it is inevitable that they will have a bit of a quarrel when they meet every day, fortunately Yuan Shao built this mansion big enough, and Liu He's study is still some distance from the backyard, otherwise he lives among 1,500 ducks every day, and if he is not noisy to death, he will be angry to death.

There is no shortage of resourceful people around Liu He, if he encounters other problems, everyone can quickly come up with a way for him, but the matter of these three women now involves Liu He's backhouse, and it may be related to Liu He's harem in the future, so everyone consciously remained silent and ignored, whenever Liu He sighed and wanted to complain, he would find all kinds of reasons to slip away.

"Alas, Bonghyo, I've been upset lately......"

"Childe, I'm going to take a look at the Zhenwu camp today and say goodbye."

"Alas, Zitai, why do you say that women are more noisy than ducks?"

"Childe, there is an old friend from Luoyang who has come to Yecheng, so I'll go and receive it."

"Mr. Wenhe, I asked the kitchen to make a few small dishes, can I have a few drinks in Yaxing in the evening?"

"Ah, thank you for your kindness, but I can't match it. My two dogs came to Yecheng from Hedong, and they were idle all day long, not doing anything serious, I have to go back and teach them a lesson! ”

Liu He looked at the empty front hall in an instant, and his irritable feelings became even stricter.

"Grandma, isn't it just three little girlies, I can't cure you if I don't believe it!" Liu He turned his heart sideways and walked towards the backyard in a big way.

"Brother-in-law, the weather is cold, the slave family wants to make a fur for you, can you come to my courtyard and let me measure the length?" Xiao Qiao stopped in front of Liu He in time and looked at him expectantly.

"Well, it's rare that the girl is so attentive, and when I have dinner, I'll go to your courtyard." Liu He nodded, and continued to walk towards the courtyard where he lived with his hands behind his back.

"Childe, Xiao Wu (Zhen Mi's maiden name) made your favorite red braised mutton today, you can move to my courtyard for dinner." Zhen Mi didn't wait for Xiao Qiao to leave, and appeared in front of Liu He, there seemed to be a smell of sheep on her body, and it seemed that she had put a lot of effort into this meal.

"Eat mutton every day, and you won't get tired of dying! General, you should come to my courtyard in the evening to see Niang Rong practice the Lu family's unique halberd method for you. Lu Niangrong, who was tall and long-legged, carried a halberd, and walked over with extraordinary momentum, quite a bit of a heroine's demeanor.

"Okay, it's rare that a few of you think about General Ben every day! I decided, let's go to Xiao Wu's courtyard to eat red stewed mutton together, and after eating, we will watch Niang Rong perform martial arts, and after watching it, I will ask Qiao Qiao to measure our figures, and then make a fur fur for each of us! Liu He was domineering and leaked, not giving the three girls a chance to object, and set an evening activity arrangement. (To be continued......)
