Chapter 299: Treacherous Cao Cao, Lu Bu was forced to marry his daughter

Princess Tang Ji of Hongnong, that is the wife of the young emperor Liu Bian!

Tang Ji was born in the Yingchuan Tang clan, the Yingchuan Tang clan is also a famous family, Tang Ji's grandfather Tang Zhen was a great Sikong in the Liu Hong period, and his father Tang Mao also served as the chief inspector.

Tang Ji was also made his wife by the young emperor Liu Wei because of his illustrious family background.

In other words, if it weren't for the poisoning of the young emperor Liu Wei, Tang Ji would be the queen!

After Liu Wei was poisoned, Tang Ji fled back to Yingchuan, and Tang Mao wanted Tang Ji to remarry, but Tang Ji swore to die.

When Li Dao and Guo Yan captured and plundered the Kanto region, Tang Ji was captured by Li Dao, and because Jia Xu persuaded Li Dao, Tang Ji avoided being poisoned by Li Dao and was named Princess Hongnong by Liu Xie.

Liu Xie moved the capital to Yingchuan, and Tang Ji also returned to Yingchuan's former residence again.

I thought that I would spend the rest of my life in peace, but I never thought that I would become a tool man for Cao Cao's calculation of Lu Bu.

Lu Bu relied on Liu Bei's reminder to calculate Cao Cao once, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to use such insidious means to calculate himself.

If this is an ordinary woman, she can still settle with the identity of General Lu Bu Jianwei.

But Princess Hongnong.

Just thinking about it, Lu Bu felt a cold sweat.

Once it is known by Liu Xie, it will be a big crime of the Nine Clans!

Born in a bitter cold place, recognized two fathers, killed two fathers, and gave up his reputation to get today's status, Lu Bu was very obsessed with the position of General Jianwei.

However, now, Cao Cao's small beauty trick has put Lu Bu in the predicament of imminent death and annihilation.

By Cao Cao's side, Xu Chu and Cao Hong had already held down the hilt of the sword, beware of Lu Bu's courageous attack.

"General, if Cao dies, you can't hide your innocence by kidnapping Princess Hongnong."

"Think about your wife and concubine, your daughter, are you really going to be ready to burn with Cao?"

Cao Cao was not afraid, holding the wine bottle, and quietly looked at Lu Bu, who had fallen into a manic state.

Lu Bu clenched his fists, trying to calm the anger in his heart.

"Cao Mengde, this beauty was given by you, not by the general!" Lu Bu suppressed his anger, and his voice was as low as a leopard's roar.

Cao Cao smiled disdainfully: "It doesn't matter if you captured the general; The important thing is that the bad Princess Hongnong is innocent, it is the general you! ”

"Cao Mengde, you are looking for death!" Lu Bu couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and a strong fist wind blasted towards Cao Cao.

However, Lu Bu, who did not have the Red Rabbit Horse and Fang Tian's Painted Halberd, only relied on his bare hands, and his combat power was limited.

I saw Xu Chu beside Cao Cao roaring angrily, and he also punched hard, and had a hard time with Lu Bu.

"That's a lot of strength!"

Lu Bu and Xu Chu closed their fists one after another, their arms trembling.

"Anger gone?" Cao Cao held the wine bottle and looked at Lu Bu with a smile.

Lu Bu's face kept changing, and his clenched fists were also loosened a lot: "It is impossible for this general to give up the position of the general!" ”

Cao Cao picked up the wine jar and poured wine into Lu Bu's wine bottle: "It's okay not to give up the position of general." ”

Lu Bu's breath was relieved.

But the next moment, Cao Cao's tone was a little more unquestionable: "Cao can not fight for this general, but the general's daughter has to marry Cao's eldest son as his wife!" ”

"Cao's son, twenty filial piety, both civil and military, treats each other as a wife, and it is not an insult to the general's daughter."

"General, how about Cao's proposal?"

Lu Bu's eyes became complicated again.

If it is ordinary, the general's daughter marrying the son of the great Sikong can be regarded as a good match.

However, this big boss is Cao Cao, and the relationship becomes delicate.

Cao Cao, more than one son.

Lu Bu, only one daughter!

married his daughter to Cao Cao's son, and Lu Bu was completely tied to Cao Cao in the future.

Coupled with the matter of Princess Hongnong, Cao Cao wanted to order Lu Bu, and Lu Bu had to obey!

Cao Cao did not urge.

The calculated Lu Bu is like a beast in a pit, either surrender or die, there is no third way.

Long.

Lu Bu took a deep breath and compromised: "Da Sikong's eldest son must be a rare talent in the world, and it is a blessing that he can find such a good son-in-law." ”

Cao Cao laughed: "It is also a blessing that Cao can marry Qin and Jin with the general. If the general is interested, how about Cao send the beauty to the general's mansion? ”

Lu Bu's face changed again, and he got up and said goodbye: "I will not be able to drink enough, and I want to go back to discuss the marriage with my wife." I don't know about the beauty. ”

After Lu Bu left, a trace of contempt flashed in Cao Cao's fine eyes: "There is no strategy." ”

Cao Hong also smiled contemptuously: "This Lu Bu is really stupid, I really thought that the beauty just now was Princess Hongnong." ”

Cao Cao did send someone to loot Tang Ji, but the beauty given to Lu Bu was not Tang Ji.

In case Lu Bu really came to break the net, then Cao Cao would use this deception technique as a stupid trick.

The black light blinded, and the drunken Lu Bu didn't know who the beauty on the couch was.

Cao Cao got up and came to another part of the courtyard.

Princess Tang Ji of Hongnong had already woken up, and when she saw Cao Cao, Tang Ji's face changed greatly: "Cao Sikong, why are you here?" ”

Cao Cao was very respectful: "It was Cao Mou's soldiers who killed two sneaky men in black and saved the princess when they were on night patrol." ”

"Doesn't the princess have an enemy seeking revenge recently?"

Tang Ji was skeptical, but seeing that the clothes on his body were intact, he had a lot less doubts in his heart.

Foe?

Tang Ji doesn't remember any enemies he has.

Seeing that Tang Ji didn't answer, Cao Cao asked again: "Princess, do you want to inform Your Majesty about this matter?" ”

Tang Ji's face changed, and then he shook his head: "The concubine just wants to spend the rest of her life quietly, and she doesn't want to get into trouble anymore." Cao Sikong sent the concubine back. ”

Seeing that Tang Ji claimed to be a concubine and didn't care much about being taken captive, Cao Cao's eyes suddenly changed.

"The thief dared to kidnap the princess, it was a provocation to Cao, in order to protect the safety of the princess, please allow Cao to send a tiger to escort him."

Tang Ji didn't think much about it, and said, "In this way, there will be Lao Cao Sikong to worry about." It's just that the concubine likes to be quiet, and asked Cao Sikong to tell Hushi not to make noise or bully passers-by. ”

Cao Cao waved his hand and asked Cao Hong to escort Tang Ji back.

Looking at Tang Ji's wonderful figure, Cao Cao's eyes changed again.

After a long time, Cao Cao returned to normal.

"Lu Bu has already entered the urn, and it will be Zhang Miao's and Chen Gong's turn next."

"Zhang Mengzhuo, you and I were originally old friends, but now we have become enemies."

"The world is impermanent, and the universe is unpredictable, which makes Cao quite unbearable."

The news of Cao Cao's marriage to Lu Bu soon reached the ears of Zhang Miao and Chen Gong.

After all, one is General Jianwei and the other is Sikong, both of whom are people with status, and it is impossible to get married directly on the same day, and the six wedding ceremonies have to go through a process.

Cao Cao asked the matchmaker to go to the General's Mansion to collect the news, and the news could not be hidden.

"Lu Bu, a man who forgets his righteousness, has gained some benefits from Cao Cao this time, and he actually wants to marry his daughter to Cao Cao's son!" Zhang Miao scolded and was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu.

Chen Gong also frowned: "Meng Zhuo, Cao Cao and Lu Bu are married, above this court, it is difficult for you and me to have a foothold, we need to prepare early." ”

Zhang Miao and Chen Gong were in Yingchuan and had no military power.

In order to win over Lu Bu, military power has always been under Lu Bu's control.

Now that Lu Bu and Cao Cao are married, it means that most of the military power in the court belongs to Cao Cao.

As for Dong Cheng, the general of the cavalry, and others, each of them has only a few dozen or hundreds of people in their hands, and most of them have never been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is worrying.

If Cao Cao wants to emulate Dong Zhuo, no one in this court can control it!

Zhang Miao also realized this predicament, and was even more angry: "It's all Liu Xuande's fault, if it weren't for Liu Xuande's support for moving the capital to Yingchuan, how could we be constrained by Cao A's concealment?"

"If the Son of Heaven is in Chenliu, why do we need to let Lu Bu take charge of the army?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Miao said again: "Now that the situation is critical, Cao Thief may frame you and me at any time and depose you and me from our official positions." ”

"I intend to summon Zang Hongtun soldiers to stay at the border, thinking that it is foreign aid, what does Gongtai think?"

Chen Gong frowned and said: "After Zang Ziyuan became the pastor of Yanzhou, he has always adhered to his duty. Last time, when he asked him to write to ask the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chen Liu, he was quite reluctant, and said that the matter of moving the capital should not be interfered with by the state pastor. ”

"As a courtier, you must have the duty of a courtier."

"If you want Zang Ziyuan to stay in Chen, I'm afraid it's a little difficult."

Zhang Miao snorted coldly: "Zang Ziyuan's Yanzhou Mu was recommended by us, how dare he disobey?" ”

"Now there are two generals under Zang Ziyuan, one is Gao Shun, a person from Chen Liuren, who has a dull personality and is not easy to make friends, and the other is Hao Meng, a native of Dongping, who is quite friendly with my brother."

"I will immediately send my brother to Dongping Kingdom to lobby Hao Meng."

"If we can nominate Zang Hong as the pastor of Yanzhou, we can also make Zang Hong unable to be the pastor of Yanzhou!"

After careful consideration, Chen Gong agreed to Zhang Miao's proposal.

If you want to have an advantage in the court battles in Yingchuan, military power is very important.

Without military power, it is difficult to deter opponents.

"Your Majesty is already dissatisfied with Cao Cao, and now that Lu Bu is married to Cao Cao, Your Majesty will definitely be angry with Lu Bu."

"Meng Zhuo can find an opportunity to meet the Son of Heaven and probe the tone of the Son of Heaven."

"If the Son of Heaven is willing to move the capital to Chenliu, we can take advantage of the situation."

Chen Gong's analysis made Zhang Miao's eyes shine.

Cao Cao and Lu Bu married, and Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Cao Cao, isn't this a good opportunity to persuade Liu Xie to move the capital to Chen Liu?

"The public platform is reasonable!"

"I will go to find the Son of Heaven, and the public station can secretly contact Ma Riyan, Yang Biao and others, and persuade the Son of Heaven to move the capital to Chenliu."

And Liu Xie in the deep palace is also boring and boring.

Lu Bu suddenly wanted to marry his daughter to Cao Cao, which Liu Xie never expected.

Not long ago, Lu Bu also helped Liu Xie see through Cao Cao's "pseudo-loyal ministers", exposing Cao Cao's ambitions.

Liu Xie regarded Lu Bu as his closest confidant.

As a result, Lu Bu married his daughter to Cao Cao with his backhand!

"Isn't Lu Bu here yet?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the general said that he was infected with wind and cold and was sick in bed."

Hearing the little eunuch's reply, Liu Xie was so angry that he kicked over the table in front of him.

"Lu Bu is stronger than a tiger and a leopard, how can he be infected with wind cold?"

"Seeing the people who forget their righteousness, Lu Bu thieves are the most unrighteous!"

Lu Bu was already weak because of Princess Hongnong's affairs, and he knew that marrying Cao Cao would harm Liu Xie, so he complained of illness at home and did not go to the court.

Naturally, he didn't dare to come to see Liu Xie alone.

In a sullen mood, people reported Situ Zhang Miao to see him.

"Zhang Miao?"

Liu Xie's face became even more gloomy.

From Chang'an to Luoyang, from Luoyang to Chenliu, Liu Xie has seen through this group of ministers.

Except for Liu Ai, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other imperial relatives, the rest of the foreign surnames are all a group of people who only think about fighting for power and profit, and don't take themselves as emperors seriously at all.

"Nope!"

Liu Xie was depressed in his heart, and he didn't want to see Zhang Miao at all.

After a while, another little eunuch came to report, saying that Zhang Miao had something important to report and refused to leave.

Liu Xie took a deep breath, forcibly endured his dislike for Zhang Miao, and shouted, "Please let Zhang Situ in." ”

Not much.

Zhang Miao hurried over.

Liu Xie's attitude made Zhang Miao feel a greater crisis.

Once Cao Cao makes trouble, Zhang Miao, Situ, is likely to be directly deposed by Liu Xie!

"Your Majesty, the minister has something important to report, please step back!" Zhang Miao's tone was anxious.

Liu Xie waved his hand and motioned for the eunuch maid beside him to step back, and then said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Zhang Situ is in charge of state affairs, what else is there that can't be self-contained?" ”

Zhang Miao was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged." ”

Liu Xie snorted coldly: "Zhang Situ, I don't want to listen to your nonsense, if there is anything important, just say it!" ”

Zhang Miao took a deep breath and said in a condensed voice: "Your Majesty, do you know that the general Lu Bu and Sikong Cao Cao have married?" ”

Liu Xie's tone was not good: "Did you come to tell me about this?" If nothing else, you can leave. ”

Zhang Miao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Lu Bu married his daughter to Cao Cao's son, and almost all the military power in Yingchuan belongs to Cao Sikong. ”

"Your Majesty has moved the capital to Yingchuan in just a few months, and more than half of the ministers of the DPRK and China have been deposed and imprisoned."

"Now even Lu Bu is attached to Cao Cao, beware of Cao Cao following Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, and blackmailing His Majesty to order him not to be subordinate."

Liu Xie's eyes became gloomy: "Cao Sikong has made meritorious efforts to rectify the officials, and those ministers who were deposed and imprisoned deserve it, but you say that Cao Sikong has the hearts of Dong Zhuo and Li Dao, is there any evidence?" ”

Zhang Miao suddenly choked.

If there is evidence, what will you do when I come to your majesty in private?

After a pause, Zhang Miao gritted his teeth and stopped pretending: "Your Majesty, the minister is brave and loyal, and heaven and earth can learn from it." The ministers are brave and ask Your Majesty to send a secret edict to Yanzhou Mu Zanghong to welcome His Majesty to move the capital to Chenliu. ”

Liu Xie squinted his eyes: "Zhang Situ, do you want to let me move the capital to Chen Liu?" ”

Zhang Miao nodded and persuaded again: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao's party is the same as fighting against each other, wantonly deposing the old ministers, and installing cronies." In time, he will become the next Dong Zhuo. ”

"Only by moving the capital to Chenliu will Your Majesty not be constrained by Cao Cao."

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Liu Xie raised his eyelids and said coldly: "Since Zhang Situ thinks that Cao Cao has the heart of Dong Rebellious, why didn't he persuade me to move the capital to Qingzhou?" ”

"Could it be that Zhang Situ thinks that if the capital is moved to Chenliu, I will not be constrained by the ministers such as Er?"

"It's just that I got out of the wolf's den and entered the tiger's mouth, am I really still the childish who doesn't know anything?"

Zhang Miao's back was already wet with cold sweat.

What's going on?

Why did His Majesty see it so thoroughly?

Who is supporting His Majesty?

I don't know how long it took for Liu Xie's cold words to ring in Zhang Miao's ears again: "I won't give a secret edict, I will only give you a verbal edict." ”

"Zhang Situ, whether you can let me go to Chenliu safely depends on your own ability."

"If you fail, I will not hesitate to tell Cao Sikong that you have held me hostage!"
