In the camp of the Liaodong Army, outside Gongsun Lan's barracks, two soldiers of the Liaodong Army, one on the left and one on the right, stood on both sides of the door.

Wei Xu, who was wearing scale armor and carrying a long sword at his waist, held the hilt of the sword in one hand, his body was straight, standing upright at the door of Gongsun Lan's barracks, and a pair of eyes kept patrolling around, observing the soldiers who walked back and forth in the camp of the Liaodong Army.

In the room, Lu Bu knelt behind a low table, and in front of him, an empty teacup was placed. Gongsun Lan was kneeling opposite Lu Bu with a ceramic teapot in his hand, adding water to the teacup for him.

Kneeling behind the low table, when Gongsun Lan added water, Lu Bu stretched out his hands and held Gongsun Lan's hand holding the teapot.

The little hand was held by Lu Bu, Gongsun Lan's body trembled slightly, and her pretty face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck. With a shy face, he said to Lu Bu: "General, don't be so ......"

Gongsun Lan's voice was very small, almost inaudible. But when she spoke like this, it just made her show a little more tenderness.

Holding Gongsun Lan's little hand, Lu Bu did not withdraw his hand, but looked at Gongsun Lan with affection.

Just as Gongsun Lan was about to withdraw his hand, Lu Bu suddenly used more strength on his hands and pulled Gongsun Lan into his arms.

was pulled hard by Lu Bu, and when Gongsun Lan fell into Lu Bu's arms, her calf bumped into the corner of the low table, and she couldn't help but let out an "oops" in pain.

Hearing Gongsun Lan screaming in pain, Lu Bu hurriedly hugged her, reached out and gently helped her rub the hurt place, and said gently: "The last general is abrupt, and it hurts General Gongsun, and I hope that the general is not strange!" ”

Snuggled in Lu Bu's arms, Gongsun Lan's face was as red as an egg that had just been dyed magenta, she pursed her lips tightly, and felt better when she was touched, before she twisted her body, broke free from Lu Bu's arms, and said to Lu Bu with a red face: "This is a military camp, don't wait for this." It's been a long time since you and I met, so why rush to ...... for a while"

"The last general just misses General Gongsun too much!" Gongsun Lan broke free, Lu Bu knelt up straight, and said to her with some apology on his face: "I actually forgot that this is a military camp." ”

"Wen Hou came to find the last general, is it just because he misses?" Pursing her lips tightly, and standing aside for a while, Gongsun Lan returned to the low table, lifted the teapot, and asked Lu Bu softly while filling the teacup for Lu Bu.

"Alas!" Gongsun Lan asked why Lu Bu came here, Lu Bu sighed and said to her: "The last general is dedicated to supporting the Han family, but he doesn't want to have a bad fate, and now he is not as good as ...... even the nameless general."

"Before entering the city, the last general will see Wen Wen talking to people outside the city gate, but he doesn't know who to talk to, although he has the heart to meet, but he doesn't dare to come forward to disturb." Putting the clay pot on the low table, Gongsun Lan pressed her hands on her thighs, sat up straight, stared at Lu Bu without blinking, and said softly: "At that time, when I saw Wen Hou leaving angrily, I knew that Wen Hou had troubles, and I didn't want to camp just now, so Wen Hou came to the last general." It really made the last general grateful and frightened! ”

"Whew!" Lu Bu let out a long sigh, looked up at the roof, and after a long time, he said a little lonely: "Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, were originally generals under the command of the last general. Now it is thrown in front of His Highness's tent, and the last general is outside the city gate, but he is just talking to them, and he doesn't want Tai Shi Ci to come and collide. If it weren't for His Highness's long-term general, he would definitely have overturned that fight under the horse! ”

"Tai Shi Ci is not serious!" Before Lu Bu's words fell, Gongsun Lan echoed and said: "Wen Hou talked to Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, but he went to fight against Wen Hou, which is really annoying. It's just that at the moment, Wen is waiting to go out with His Royal Highness, once he becomes famous, the future cannot be practiced first! Don't let the little things mess with your future! ”

After listening to Gongsun Lan's words, Lu Bu didn't say anything, just lowered his head, picked up the tea cup on the low table, and took a sip of tea.

Gongsun Lan was entertaining Lu Bu in the barracks, and in the Jizhou Army barracks, Yuan Tan, who was watching the barracks assigned by the soldiers, received a call from Liu Wei.

After receiving Liu Wei's summons, Yuan Tan didn't dare to delay for a moment, and hurriedly led two personal soldiers to run towards the Luoyang military camp in a hurry.

Liu Wei and Pang Tong were already waiting for Yuan Tan in the commander's barracks, and when the guards guarding the door greeted Yuan Tan inside the house, Liu Wei hurriedly gave an order outside the house, inviting Yuan Tan to come in.

When he arrived outside the door of the commander's tent, Yuan Tan, who had already handed over his long sword and was waiting outside, was summoned by Liu Bian, and when the soldiers pushed the door open, he strode into the house, bowed with his fists, and saluted Liu Bian and Pang Tong respectively.

"General Yuan, please take a seat!" When Yuan Tan finished his ceremony, Liu Wei made a gesture of invitation to him and said to him: "This king invited the general to come, but there is a matter to discuss!" ”

After thanking Liu Bian, Yuan Tan sat down on a straw mat next to him, knelt up straight, pressed his hands on his thighs, and looked at Liu Bian. Although he didn't speak, there was a look of doubt in his eyes.

"I heard that the general has a liner under his knees!" Seeing that Yuan Tan didn't speak, Liu Wei smiled slightly, and then said to him: "This king knows that Gongsun Kang has a daughter under his knees, who is one year older than the general's son. In the future, the Yuan family occupied the three states of You, and Hebei, adjacent to Liaodong, and harmony with each other was a long-term way. This king intends to connect the general and the prince Sun Kang, so that the two of you can be a family of sons and daughters. I don't know what the general wants? ”

Liu Bian's words stunned Yuan Tan. He raised his head, looked at Liu Bian, hesitated for a while, and then bowed down with his fists and said to Liu Bian: "But according to His Royal Highness's orders, it is only the last general who must inform his father." ”

From Yuan Tan's expression, Liu Wei could see that although he did not directly refuse to marry Gongsun Kang, he was not very happy in his heart.

At present, Liu Wei does not have much energy to consider whether Yuan Tan is willing or not, the marriage between the Yuan family and the Gongsun family of Liaodong is the foundation for Liu Wei to stabilize the north, at least for a few years, with this marriage, the north will not be too turbulent.

Even if something happens in the future, Liu Wei should have swept the world at that time, and he is fully capable of waving his troops to the north again to pacify the **** in the north.

"In the beginning, there is a king to say!" Pretending not to see the reluctance on Yuan Tan's face, Liu Wei smiled slightly and said to Yuan Tan: "Since it is the general's promise, there should be no obstacles there." The king congratulated the general first, and later the king went to the military camp of the Liaodong Army to propose marriage for the general! ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Yuan Tan has been married for only a few years, and all along, he has been fighting abroad with Yuan Shao's army, and he rarely can go back to accompany his wife and concubine, and he has a son, and now he is only one year old.

As the king of Luoyang, Liu Wei opened his mouth, and Yuan Tan was also not easy to shirk, so he pushed Yuan Shao out, and wanted to use it as a shield to slow down, but Liu Wei's words made him completely give up hope.

Yuan Shao has always had an inseparable loyalty to the Han family, especially to Liu Wei. Once Liu Wei opened his mouth and asked the Yuan family to marry the Gongsun family in Liaodong, Yuan Shao would not refuse, and the shield that Yuan Tan carried out had not yet been used, so it was destined to be ineffective.

"The general is unwilling to marry the Gongsun family?" Pang Tong, who was kneeling on the left side of Liu Bian, saw that Yuan Tan had some reluctance on his face, smiled slightly, and asked Yuan Tan.

Standing straight, Yuan Tan lowered his head and said to Pang Tong and Liu Wei: "His Royal Highness ordered the last general to marry that Gongsun Kang, and the last general obeyed!" ”

"Sure enough! The general really didn't want to do it in his heart! As soon as Yuan Tan's words fell, Pang Tong took over and said to him: "Dare to ask why the general is unwilling to marry the Gongsun clan of Liaodong?" ”

"Don't hide it from Your Highness and the military advisor!" Pang Tong made his words clear, and Yuan Tan no longer concealed what he thought in his heart, hugged his fists, bowed down and said to Liu Wei and Pang Tong: "My Yuan family in Jizhou has never had anything to do with the Gongsun family in Liaodong. Since Gongsun Du occupied Liaodong, he killed too much, and his father had long been dissatisfied with him. If it weren't for Gongsun Zan being separated from it, the Jizhou army would have marched eastward to crusade against Gongsun Du......"

"There is still such a festival!" After listening to Yuan Tan's words, Liu Wei nodded, his brows furrowed slightly, and he pondered for a moment before he said to Yuan Tan: "Although Gongsun Du killed too much in the past, after he occupied Liaodong, Liaodong was also quite peaceful and the people were rich. The merits and demerits are offset, but there is nothing to blame. ”

As he spoke, Liu Wei paid attention to Yuan Tan's expression. When he said that Gongsun Du could offset the merits, Yuan Tan's expression showed a trace of panic.

Although this panic was only a flash, it was grasped by Liu Wei.

Liu Wei smiled slightly, stared at Yuan Tan, and then said: "Has General Yuan ever thought that Youzhou is adjacent to Liaodong, and if the Yuan family and the Gongsun family of Liaodong continue to fight, the north will definitely be restless. At that time, the Gongsun family will be in the north, and the Central Plains will be in the south. If the Yuan family and the Gongsun family marry, they will cooperate with each other. The heroes in the Guannan did not dare to covet Hebei, and although Yidi outside the Guanxi had the heart of China, they were afraid of the strength of the two families, so they had to lie dormant and wait. Whether it is for the Yuan family, the Gongsun family, or the current imperial court, it is a beautiful thing! ”

"What His Royal Highness said, every word is beautiful, and the last general will be ashamed to hear it!" Yuan Tan listened, and there was a burst of panic in his heart, and he hurriedly folded his hands in front of his forehead, lowered his body very low, and made a five-body bow to Liu Bian, and said to Liu Bian: "Everything depends on His Highness!" ”

"When it comes to marriage, the general should do it sincerely!" Yuan Tan's words were loose, Liu Wei nodded, raised his hand towards him, and said to him: "General, imagine that this time the Liaodong Army is marching westward, but this king wants to hand over the entire Youzhou to the Yuan family. If the general is that Gongsun Du, the army has worked hard, but there is no benefit at all, will he be dissatisfied in his heart? ”

"The last will know what is wrong!" Although he still didn't treat Gongsun Du's family very well, Yuan Tan already understood that the marriage between his son and Gongsun Kang's daughter was really beneficial to the Yuan family in Hebei, so he maintained a posture of bowing down and said to Liu Wei: "The last general is willing to take his young son as a hostage and foster him in Liaodong, and when the young son is an adult, he will marry him and Gongsun Kang's daughter!" ”

"Children are the hearts and minds of their parents!" Liu Wei waved his hand, and said to Yuan Tan with a smile: "The general has this heart, this king is already very relieved, since this is the case, there is no need to wait for the beginning to come, after a while, this king will go to the Liaodong military camp and personally ask for the general's son!" ”

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Bowing to the ground, Governor Yuan Tanxin had already made up his mind, so he didn't say anything more, but just thanked Liu.

"Someone!" After convincing Yuan Tan, Liu Wei turned his head and shouted outside the house: "Prepare for a big gift, this king is going to the Liaodong Army!" ”
