After Ji Ling went back, he immediately gave the letter to Yuan Shu, and at the same time told him about Lu Bu's shooting of the halberd, Yuan Shu was furious and said: "Lu Bu accepted my things, and he actually used such a child's play to favor Liu Bei. I must personally lead the troops to recruit Liu Bei, and at the same time, I will also recruit Lu Bu! ”

Ji Ling persuaded: "Don't be impulsive, I have seen Lu Bu, he is brave, he now occupies Xuzhou, if he is connected to Liu Bei from end to end, then it will not be easy for us to attack him." I heard that Lu Bu's wife, Yan, has a daughter who has reached the age of marriage. The lord has a son, and he can ask Lu Bu to marry, if Lu Buken marries his daughter to the lord, then he will definitely get rid of Liu Bei, which is exactly a plan to get close to each other. ”

After hearing this, Yuan Shu felt that it made sense, so he adopted it, chose a good day, sent Han Yin as a matchmaker, and went to Xuzhou with gifts to ask for relatives.

After Han Yin saw Lu Bu in Xuzhou, he said: "My lord admires the general's bravery very much, and hopes to marry your daughter, and our two families will always marry Qin and Jin." ”

Lu Bu felt that this matter had nothing to do with it, everything still needed to be discussed with his wife, Lu Bu had two wives and a concubine, first married Yan as his wife, and later when he was in Luoyang City, because of Diao Chan, he also married as a concubine, and later because Xiliang Guo Yan and Li urged to raise troops, all his wives and concubines were left in the city in a panic, and then Diao Chan chose to leave because of anger, and his wife was returned by the general, and when he arrived at Xiaopei, Lu Bu married another wife, the daughter of Cao Bao, Cao died of illness, did not leave a daughter, Diao Chan and Lu Bu had a short time, so they were not pregnant, only his wife Yan gave birth to a girl, so Lu Bu was particularly fond of her.

At that moment, Lu Bu said to his wife, Yan: "Yuan Shu sent someone to ask to marry our daughter, what do you think?" ”

replied: "I heard that Yuan Shu has lived in Huainan for a long time, the soldiers are full of food, and the jade seal is in his hands, sooner or later he will definitely become the Son of Heaven, if he can achieve great things, then our daughter may have a concubine in the future, but I don't know how many sons Yuan Shu has?" ”

Lu Budao: "There is only one son!" ”

replied: "Since the clan is like this, you can marry him, even if it is not the queen in the future, we must have no problem in Xuzhou." ”

So he settled the matter, treated Han Yin well, and agreed to such a family affair on the spot.

Han Yin immediately returned to Shouchun and told Yuan Shu about the situation, Yuan Shu ordered to prepare a dowry on the spot, or sent Han Yin to Xuzhou City, Lu Bu also accepted it, and also opened a banquet for him to rest in the embassy.

On the second day, Chen Gong secretly went to the pavilion to visit Han Yin, bowed, sat down, and then retreated left and right, and said: "Who gave Yuan Shu a plan to let Yuan Shu marry my lord first, and his real intention was to take Liu Bei's head?" ”

Han Yin stood up, with a surprised expression on his face, and said, "I hope you don't leak it!" ”

Chen Gongdao: "Don't worry, I will definitely not leak this matter, but I am afraid that if this matter drags on for a long time, it will definitely be discovered, then the matter will not achieve the effect." ”

Han Yin asked, "What should I do?" I hope you can teach me! ”

Chen Gong showed a very anxious expression and said, "In this way, I will go to see Lu Bu now, and let him send his daughter to marry immediately, what do you think?" ”

Han Yin was very grateful and said, "That's great, I will definitely tell our lord about your great kindness!" ”

So after Chen Gong left, he immediately went to see Lu Bu and said, "I heard that the lord you plan to marry your daughter to Yuan Shu, which is a very good thing, but I don't know when you will start marrying?" ”

Lu Budao: "This has to be further discussed, and the time has not been determined." ”

Chen Gong said: "The ancients had their own rules on the date of marriage by accepting dowries, the Son of Heaven was one year, the princes were half a year, the doctor was a quarter, and the ordinary people were one month. ”

Lu Budao: "Yuan Shao now has the jade seal in hand, sooner or later he will become the emperor, we will use the rules of the Son of Heaven, what do you think?" ”

After hearing this, Chen Gong immediately refused, and said, "No! ”

Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "Then what about using the rules of the princes?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "No, too?" ”

Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and said, "Then it's okay to use Dr. Congqing's regulations, right?" ”

Chen Gong still shook his head, and at this time Lu Bu was a little angry, and said, "Do you want me to come according to the rules of the common people?" ”

Chen Gong still shook his head, Lu Bu really couldn't understand, and said, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Chen Gong said with a smile: "Now the princes of the world are competing with each other, and they all want to dominate one side, but now that you and Yuan Shu are married to the Qin family, can the other princes guarantee that they are not jealous?" What if you wait until a good time is chosen, and the other princes set up ambushes in the middle of the road to rob and kill them? Now the plan can only be to marry immediately, before the princes know the news, send their daughter to Shouchun as soon as possible, and then find a separate hall there, choose a good day to get married, so that it is foolproof. ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "It's still thoughtful." So he went indoors to find Yan's, and that night he finished all the dowries, loaded a few cars, and asked Song Xian and Wei Xu to accompany Han Yin to send his daughter forward, and heard the sound of drums along the way.

From Xuzhou to Shouchun, Xiaopei is the only way, Chen Deng's father Chen Qi was resting at home, basking in the sun, suddenly heard the sound of drums on the road, so he found someone to ask what happened, and told him that Lu Bu was going to marry his daughter to Yuan Shu's son.

Chen Qi was taken aback and said, "This is a ploy to be intimate, so Liu Bei is very dangerous." So he ignored his illness and went to see Lu Bu, who was still very polite to such a merchant in the city, and asked, "Why did the doctor come?" ”

replied: "I heard that the general's death is approaching, so I came here to mourn!" ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he was very shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Chen Jue analyzed: "Previously, Yuan Shu used money to send you, just to get rid of Liu Bei, and you used a halberd to resolve it, and now you suddenly come to ask for marriage, just want to use your daughter as a hostage, and then come to attack Liu Bei to occupy Xiaopei, Xiaopei lost, then Xuzhou is very dangerous." And he uses your daughter as a hostage, and asks you to borrow money and food, and then you will be exhausted, and at the same time you will have a grudge against others, and if you do not agree, it will be an excuse for him to send troops. Yuan Shu originally wanted to be the emperor with the jade seal, this is an act of rebellion, think about the fate of Dong Zhuo before, if you and Yuan Shu are in-laws, you are also a thief, where in the world is there a place to accommodate you? ”
