The next morning, Shi Xun went to the county office to meet Liang Gong Lu Bu. Lu Bu was originally quite extravagant, since he was promoted to the throne, he dressed differently from the past, just in the summer season, I saw him wearing a colorful embroidered silk shirt, the collar and sleeves were rolled with gold edges, the waist was inlaid with jade and gold belts, and he also wore a small golden crown on his head - I relied on the golden light, it was Xunxin who said that this aesthetic is really vulgar to a certain level!

He didn't know Lu Fengxian's specific age, but according to the history books, Lu Bu once called Liu Bei "younger brother", which means that he is older than Liu Bei, and theoretically should be more than fifty, but he can't see it from his appearance. It is still such a long horse face, probably recently pampered in Liangzhou, the cheeks are plumper than before, the skin is dark and rough, but there are few wrinkles, and the beard is still like paint and ink, without a trace of variegation.

A poem couldn't help but pop up in Shixun's head - "Beauty has been like a famous general since ancient times, and it is not allowed to see white heads in the world"...... When will you die? I don't want to let me fan the wings of my little butterfly, so that you can avoid the misfortune of the White Gate Tower, and then you can live and live forever, and you can jump until today.

The identities are different, and it is Xun Nai who preempts the first salute: "Is Liang Gong okay?" Lu Bu got up and returned the salute: "Hongfu is in the same style." The two sides sat down, and Lu Bu asked: "Hongfu came thousands of miles away, what happened?" ”

Shi Xun's mission was not secretive, and he made a lot of fanfare all the way, and Lu Bu naturally knew his intentions, but he had to speak first, so he said: "I came to be the matchmaker." King Wei admired the demeanor of Liang Gong, and knew that Liang Gong had a daughter under his knees, and he had not yet written a person, but he wanted to be his daughter-in-law. I don't know if Liang Gong is willing to give in? ”

Lu Bu pretended to nod his head, so it was like this-"I heard that the prince of Wei is very rich, and I don't know how many sons do you want to hire my daughter?" ”

"He is the ninth son of King Wei. Mingchong. Words are full. ”

Lu Bu asked: "I don't know the age or temperament." How, exactly? ”

"Fifteen years old, the first crown will not be ......" is Xunxin said that if I change to a different son, I may not be able to say anything, I must be empty words, just pick good words to fool people, as for Cao Chong, that is something to say-"Ziying is a young son, he is smart, and he has the wisdom of an adult when he is five or six years old." When Sun Quan offered a giant elephant. The king of Wei wants to know his weight, and under the group of visits, he can't explain it. Only Ziying Gongzi said: "Put it on a big boat, and carve its water marks, and weigh things to carry, then the school can know also." Then he carried out it, and the fruit was as heavy as it was. ”

It seems that Lu Bu has never heard of this story, and he knows very little about physics, so he has to keep his head down and think about it for a while. He even raised his hand and gestured twice, and then slapped his thigh: "I see!" Fruit is smart too. ”

Yes Xun said yes—"If it weren't for that." Is it called the lintel of Lianggong? ”

Lu Bu's face was faintly happy, and his eyes were Xun: "Lonely and childless, only this one daughter must be worthy of a lover - the ninth son is smart and worthy of an orphan girl." Speaking of this, he seemed to ask casually: "I don't know who his mother is?" ”

Shi Xun replied, "Mrs. Wei Wanghuan." ”

Lu Bu frowned slightly: "I heard that King Wei has registered Mrs. Bian as the queen, but is it?" Mrs. Zehuan, the concubine, the ninth son, and the concubine also ......" glared fiercely: "Isn't an orphan girl worthy of a concubine?!" ”

Shi Xun laughed secretly in his heart, your acting is really rough, your expression is exaggerated, even if I don't come, if you change any of the Cao family's strategists, you can see that you have already made up your mind to refuse this marriage - mmmm, listening to his tone, it turned out that he took the second strategy......

Thinking that Zhuge Liang woke up that day, if Cao Chong had to hire Lu Bunu, his worth would double, and it would inevitably pose a huge threat to Cao Ang's storage position. Immediately, he tugged at Shixun's sleeve: "Liang has a word, please talk to Mr. Du." ”

Shi Xun turned his head to look at Guan Jing, and then at Zhou Budo, and said in his heart that he had to hide even these two things? Look around at everyone again - oh, there are several protégés and former officials present, they can't all blast out, and just leave Guan, Zhou, Zhuge and others to discuss. So from Kong Ming's words, he got down to the bed and went to the corner of the house.

Zhuge Liang followed, approached Shixun, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Liangzhi doesn't want to get involved in the battle for the storage position, he is willing to watch from the wall, and he should follow the trend of the sky." However......"

However, even if you don't think about the Cao family, you also need to think about the world-" Liang has disrespectful words, don't sin sir. Now the king of Wei has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, that is, he is looking at it in Anyi, and the heroic style is no longer what it used to be. That is, to practice the throne, remove the old and cloth the new, it is inevitable that there will be twists and turns, and there will be no secrets, and the sons will fight each other, which will be bad for the state affairs. What's more, the country thinks of the long-term monarch, Ziying Gongzi is still young after all, and Encore will succeed to the unification? Sir think twice. ”

Considering the problem from the perspective of the country, the Central Plains was initially decided, at this time, the dynasty was changed, production could not be restored quickly, and people's hearts were not stable soon, but Cao Cao was old after all. In these years, people's life expectancy is generally very short, and if they are over fifty years old, they will be considered to be long-lived, and Cao Cao may suddenly swallow his breath one day, and when the time comes, the sons will fight each other, and the turmoil will rise again, I am afraid that the country will not be able to bear it. Besides, Cao Chong is still young after all, the so-called "It's small, big may not be good", as far as the current point of view, can he really afford to bear the burden of the world?

It was Xun Xin who said that if according to the original historical development, Cao Cao still has eight or nine years to live, even if he fails to exterminate Liu Bei's forces soon, as long as he captures Liangzhou, this little time is enough for the country to stabilize, even if all the sons fight for the heir, after all, the old ministers are there, where else can there be chaos? But after thinking about it again, history has changed, the damned people are not dead (for example, Cao Ang, Cao Chong, Lu Bu), and the people who should be alive are also hung up (for example, Zhou Tai, Xia Houyuan), maybe Cao Cao will ......

Well, Kong Ming's concerns do have his reasons.

So he frowned slightly, and asked Zhuge Liang in a low voice: "If you can't welcome back the Lu family's daughter, I'm afraid that Liangzhou will be difficult to decide, what can I do?" ”

Zhuge Liang smiled faintly: "Mr. is mistaken." Wei Dynasty Han, didn't Lu Bu know yes? If there is no contention, why bother asking for his daughter; If you are fighting, why do you regret a daughter? "Don't treat him as a living ordinary person, but as a political figure, where is there so much warmth and affection at all-" The hostage, showing sincerity, is not a trade-off. Wei said that the marriage was not levied, and the cloth was allowed, that is, it was not rebellious, and that's it. Will you win it? ”

The so-called asking for and surrendering hostages is just a formality, and the key is to show sincerity through this form. Cao Wei was willing to marry the Lu family, which meant that he would not do anything to Lu Bu, and if Lu Bu agreed, it meant that he would not take the initiative to rebel, and that's it. Why do you have to get your hands on other people's little girls?

When Shi Xun heard this, he couldn't help but be a little confused - since "Bu Yunzhi is to show that Wei Yi will not rebel", then of course he has to get the little girl over, is there a contradiction between the two? Simply, I won't argue with you, just ask: "What is Kong Ming's plan?" ”

Zhuge Liang nodded, leaned closer to Shi Xun's ear, and lowered his voice: "Liang has two strategies, Mr. chooses ......"

He gave Shi Xun two ideas, and when Shi Xun heard it, he couldn't help but stroke his palm and smile: "Kong Mingguo is wise." But he didn't choose one of the two, but ceded this power to Jiang Gan through the secret book - Jiang Ziyi, you have been following Lu Bu recently, what Lu Bu wants and thinks in his heart, you are more familiar than me, you should choose.

So after Jiang Gan got the secret book sent by Pang Yu, he hurriedly went to find Lu Bu. Lu Bu asked, is Xun here to marry me for the Cao family, what does Ziyi think? Should we promise him? Jiang Gan shook his head: "No." ”

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart, Didn't you always ask me to live in peace with Cao Cao, and then go all out to develop to the West? Now that the Cao family has extended an olive branch, why did you suddenly object? "What do you mean?"

So Jiang Gan first repeated what Zhuge Liang had said: "The one who hostages is honest and sincere, and it is not a matter of choice." Wei said that the marriage was a contract, that is, to show that the lord would not levy it, and if the lord allowed it, it would show that Wei would not rebel, and that's it...... "Lu Bu said yes, then if I don't agree, won't Cao Cao suspect that I want to do something with him?" If he Chen soldiers are on the border, where will I dare to fight in the Western Regions again?

Jiang Ziyi smiled incomprehensibly: "I don't want the lord to let it go, how to allow it." Xi Ma Chao was against Guanzhong, Chen Gong wanted the lord to help, although Shi Gan was not there, he also knew about it. Without Cao's soldiers in Long, and Xianbei disturbed the realm, the lord had no choice but to retreat, but he wanted to marry Wei and pull out this dangerous situation, but no? "At the beginning, it was because you were attacked from both sides, so you took the initiative to discuss the marriage with Cao Cao, right?

Lu Bu said yes. Jiang Gannai said: "This time, that time." I heard that the Son of Heaven had issued an edict, and if he wanted to Zen the King of Wei, he would use Wei to replace Han, only within the year. The king of Wei is afraid, only the lord is also, if the lord gives up Liangzhou to the west, Wei is Antai, if he is in harmony with Liu Bei, Wei will be in danger. For example, in the game of chess, in the past, Wei was the first, and the lord was forced to marry him, but now the lord is the first, and Wei Nai reiterates the previous discussion. If so, is it not possible to seek greater benefit? ”

Lu Bu said I understand, are you saying that now Cao Cao has asked me to bring up the marriage that has been abandoned, so we should take the opportunity to bargain with him - "Make it more hired?" "Shouldn't you ask him for a dowry?

Jiang Ganxin said that this little family is angry, do you just think about money? Are you marrying a daughter, or selling your daughter-" The lord is under his knees, the only daughter, if he marries Anyi far away today, and the lord is also in the west, I am afraid that there will be no day when we will see each other again, won't the lord worry? ”

Lu Bu frowned slightly, and said I am also very sad about this, but my daughter is too old to stay, and she will marry after all. Now that I am the Duke of Liang, I am only comparable to Cao Cao, so the girl has no choice but to marry Cao Cao's son, and other families are not qualified. And Cao Cao wants to replace the Han and wants to be the son of heaven, then his son will definitely be crowned king, and my daughter will be the queen in the future - "If Cao is not allowed, what family is there?" ”

Jiang Gan said that Xu Cao also had different Xu methods - "There are two strategies for doing it, and the lord chooses it." "Yes, didn't you give me two plans to choose? Simply, I won't pick it, I'll give it all to Lu Bu, and let Lu Bu choose it himself. (To be continued......)
