Not long after Yuan Shu became emperor, he sent people to ask him for marriage.

It is unbelievable to say that there is no pit in this.

Chen Gong replied: "Yuan Shu set himself up as the emperor, but it was against the great disapproval of the world, and now Sun Ce has broken with him, and the emperor on Cao Cao's side has issued an edict for Zhang Xiu to send troops to fight against Yuan Shu." ”

"So he wants to win over the general through his in-laws, so as not to suffer from the enemy on his back."

Xuzhou and Yangzhou are adjacent to each other, and if Lu Bu is also hostile to Yuan Shu, then Yangzhou will be directly in a situation where enemies are on all sides.

There is Sun Ce in the south, Liu Biao in the west, Cao Cao in the north, and Lu Bu in the east.

In order to prevent this from happening, Yuan Shucai sent a messenger to intercede with Lu Bu, wanting to form an alliance with his in-laws.

"Wooing General Ben?"

After listening to Chen Gong's analysis, Lu Bu fell into thought.

The relationship between him and Yuan Shu is not bad, and it is not bad.

Last year, he and Yuan Shu fought together against Liu Bei for Xuzhou, during which Yuan Shu had been providing him with food and grass materials, and promised that it would continue in the future.

After he defeated Liu Bei, Yuan Shu broke his word and cut off the supply of grain, grass and materials to him, and the two sides broke up.

But now Yuan Shu actually sent someone to woo him again.

And he also intends to enter into a marriage relationship.

Lu Bu didn't have a clue after thinking for a while, and asked hesitantly, "Does Gongtai think that General Ben should agree to Yuan Shu?" ”

"He has now established himself as the emperor, if he can become a relative with him, won't this general become a relative of the emperor?"

There was a bit of meaning in Lu Bu's words.

He was just born in cloth, and he relied on his bravery to get everything he has today, but his humble background has always made him look down on those famous families.

So even if he occupied Xuzhou, there were very few celebrities who came to him.

If he can become an in-law relationship with Yuan Shu, he will be able to become a relative of the emperor, and he will be able to climb the big tree of the Yuan family!

Why not?

But as soon as he said this idea, Chen Gong said directly: "If the general wants to die with Yuan Shu, then marry him!" ”

Lu Bu was surprised when he heard this: "Is it so serious? ”

Chen Gong said: "When orthodoxy is in the Han Dynasty today, Yuan Shu is a pseudo-emperor, and no prince will recognize his throne. ”

"If the general marries Yuan Shu, he will destroy his future, and he will also be regarded as a rebel party, and sooner or later he will be attacked by all the princes from all walks of life!"

Lu Bu was suddenly frightened into a cold sweat.

He didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in it, he just thought that it would be beneficial to be able to marry Yuan Shu, but he didn't expect it to be so risky.

After reacting, Lu Bu realized it and said angrily: "Yuan Shu is really hateful! rebelled by himself, and he actually wanted to pull General Ben with him! ”

"This general is favored by the Son of Heaven, and he is personally named Wenhou! How can you be in the company of a thief like him? ”

As he spoke, he said to Chen Gong very movingly: "Thanks to the public platform, otherwise General Ben would have fallen for him!" ”

"Come, General Ben will give you a drink!"

Lu Bu said that he poured himself a full glass of wine, and he was about to pay tribute to Chen Gong.

"No need."

Chen Gong rejected the wine glass handed over by Lu Bu, and then said in a deep voice: "Miyamoto thought that the general was a hero, but what the general did was really disappointing. ”

"Heroes should have great ambitions! Make an immortal achievement! ”

"You are now in Xuzhou, with countless elite soldiers and strong generals, and you should reorganize your armaments and accumulate strength to win the world; But the general is addicted to wine all day long, and only knows a corner of peace, so how different is it from a gangster in the market? ”

"If the general continues to be so ignorant of progress, the palace can only abandon the general and go."

Lu Bu's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

He didn't expect that he was just a little more greedy, and he would actually let Chen Gong have such a big opinion, and even abandon him!

But he just wanted to live a rich life.

"Is General Ben really wrong?"

Lu Bu muttered to himself, looking down at the wine glass in his hand, his current appearance was reflected in the wine, his face was full of stubble, and he looked depressed, which made him stunned.

"I am so haggard and so haggard by wine......"

Lu Bu looked at his appearance in the wine with complicated eyes.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, he stood up suddenly, threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground, gritted his teeth and said, "From today onwards, quit drinking!" ”

Then he looked up at Chen Gong again, and said with a sincere expression: "Gongtai, General Ben knows that he is wrong, and he will definitely not indulge in alcohol again in the future!" ”

"General Ben can't be without the assistance of the public platform, you must not abandon me!"

Seeing Lu Bu's sincere appearance, Chen Gong's face softened slightly: "It's a good thing that the general knows that his mistakes can be corrected, how can his subordinates turn their backs on the general?" ”

"That's good! That's good! ”

Lu Bu nodded again and again, he really couldn't leave Chen Gong.

Then Chen Gong took out a letter from his arms and said to Lu Bu: "General, there is another letter here, which was sent by Liu Bei. ”

"In his letter, he said that he hoped the general would be able to return Peixian to him."

This letter was delivered to Xiapi in the morning, and it was also something that Chen Gong really wanted to discuss with Lu Bu when he came over today.

Lu Bu snorted coldly when he heard this: "I can't defeat Peixian, so I can only come to ask General Ben?" It's ridiculous! ”

He had received the news of Liu Bei's attack on Pei County a few days earlier.

At that time, when he heard that Liu Bei was coming with Yuan Shao's army of 50,000, he was also startled, thinking that Yuan Shao was going to help Liu Bei forcibly recover Peixian, and he was ready to let the army retreat.

After all, it was an army of 50,000, and there was no need to go head-to-head with Yuan Shao's army because of a Pei County.

But soon the news came back from the front line that the 50,000 troops were only for Liu Bei, and the real attack on Peixian was only 5,000.

Just 5,000 soldiers and horses want to defeat Pei County, isn't it a dream?

I can't fight it now, and I ran over and begged him to return the city, which is really shameless.

"It's not that simple, the general should take a look at this letter first."

Chen Gong shook his head and handed the letter to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took it with some suspicion, rubbed his eyes, and then looked at it carefully, and after a while, his face changed.

After reading for a long time, Lu Bu put down the letter and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai thinks that what Liu Bei said in this letter is somewhat credible?" ”

What is written in this letter is quite astonishing.

Presumably, the Son of Heaven is now under house arrest in Yecheng by Yuan Shao.

And Yuan Shao wanted to emulate Dong Zhuo to coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes.

He Liu Bei was entrusted by the Son of Heaven to secretly gather forces from all sides, intending to save the Son of Heaven from Yuan Shao's hands, but Yuan Shao was suspicious of him and had to make a military order to capture Pei County within ten days, otherwise he would be dealt with by military law.

That's why he asked him for help and returned Pei County to him to relieve the current crisis, and then conspired to save the Son of Heaven from danger and fight against the Yuan brothers.
