Chapter 56: Zhen Mi
Yuan Shao's plan to kill Liu Bei fell through because of Lu Bu's concession.
Yuan Shao, who learned the news, was shocked and angry.
"What conditions did Liu Bei set to make Lu Bu promise to return Pei County to him?!" Yuan Shao's face was gloomy and very annoyed.
Originally, according to the plan, Liu Bei couldn't take Pei County, so he directly beheaded it with military law, and then let the army push down Pei County, and put a nail in Xuzhou to prepare for the attack on Xuzhou in the future.
But now that Liu Bei is still alive, even if he sends a large army into Peixian to station, he will not be stable in the future, and he is always uneasy.
"The Lord is angry, pay attention to the body."
In the room, Fu Zhu said with a worried face, for fear that Yuan Shao would be so angry that his condition would worsen and he would pass out again.
Yuan Shao was relieved, and then sighed and said, "It seems that Liu Bei's life should not be extinguished, and he survived such a predicament." ”
"That's it, let him go, he won't be able to stir up any waves."
Although he felt sorry for not being able to kill Liu Bei, Yuan Shao didn't care too much, after all, Liu Bei was really insignificant to him, and he couldn't pose a threat to him, and it wasn't worth his energy to deal with.
And there are still things to deal with at the moment.
"My lord, the minister still has something to report, it's about Lu Bu."
Frustrated, he took out a secret piece from his arms and handed it to Yuan Shao.
"A few days ago, Yuan Shu sent an envoy to Xiapi to ask Lu Bu for his son, and wanted to marry Lu Bu's daughter."
"Ran Lu Bu directly beheaded the envoy, hung his head above the city gate tower, and openly announced that he would send troops to recruit Yuan Shu."
Yuan Shao frowned slightly when he heard this, and took the secret music while listening to it, and waited until he finished reading it before he spoke.
"All the princes are reluctant to send troops to confront Yuan Shu, but Lu Bu is actively preparing for war, what does he want to do?"
"A reckless man, why do you act so that I can't see through?"
Yuan Shu is stupid, but his power is huge, even if Sun Ce breaks with him, the rest of the soldiers and horses should not be underestimated, and all the princes are afraid to avoid it.
For example, Zhang Xiu of Wancheng, after Cao Cao ordered him to send troops to defeat Yuan in the name of the Son of Heaven, there has been no movement, and it is obvious that he does not want to be this up-and-coming bird.
However, Lu Bu was extremely positive about this matter, so active that when Yuan Shao suspected that it was redundant to give him an edict, there was no need for this.
"It's not hard to understand."
Fu Zhu said, not surprised by this, "Lu Buyi was born, helpless, and capricious, which is disliked by princes and famous families from all walks of life. ”
"The only thing he can rely on is the Son of Heaven, and only by firmly supporting the Han family can he occupy the righteousness."
"So it's not surprising that he actively sent troops to fight against Yuan Shu."
After listening to this analysis, Yuan Shao was immediately shocked: "Lu Bu actually has such insight and city government? How did I never find out before? ”
The professor replied: "The lord has misunderstood, there is a person under Lu Bu's account, named Chen Gong, the character Gongtai, who is upright and resourceful, and has been engaged in Cao Cao and is Cao Cao's henchman; Later, he somehow broke with Cao Cao and threw himself under Lu Bu. ”
"Everything Lu Bu did was suggested by Chen Gong."
Yuan Shao's expression was slightly relaxed, and he nodded: "I see, then it's not strange, it's not strange." ”
Lu Bu's bravery is unparalleled in the world, and if he is good at vision and strategy, the threat level will be directly doubled.
Fortunately, this is not the case, but there are strategists who advise him.
While Fu Zhu and Yuan Shao were discussing, a woman with a beautiful appearance and a graceful temperament walked in, followed by two maids.
Seeing this woman, Fu Zhu immediately showed a respectful look, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I've seen Mrs. Liu." ”
This person is Yuan Shao's wife, Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu smiled and bowed her head, which was considered a return of courtesy, and then said to Yuan Shao: "Husband, it's time to take medicine." ”
As she spoke, the maid behind her placed the tray on the table.
There was a decoction in a jade bowl on it, and it was steaming hot.
"There's Mrs. Law."
Yuan Shao nodded, and then said to Fu Zhi: "Gonghe, you go down first, and then report to me if there is any situation." ”
"Yes, my lord."
Frustrated and respectful, he left the room.
After the frustration left, Mrs. Liu came to Yuan Shao's bed with a jade bowl and sat down, and said helplessly: "I am all sick in bed, and I still worry about these things." ”
"Didn't the husband ask Xi'er and Shang'er to help you deal with your affairs? Can't you cultivate with peace of mind? ”
Yuan Shao took a sip of the medicine, I don't know if it was because of the bitterness of the medicine or because of Mrs. Liu's words, he frowned and said, "Where do the two of them understand the major events in the world." ”
"What I let them deal with is just the trivial matters of Yecheng's military and political affairs, and other matters still need to be taken care of by me personally, otherwise how can I rest assured."
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she didn't say anything more, sighed, waited for Yuan Shao to drink all the potions in the bowl, and then took a candied fruit from the side and fed it to Yuan Shao to dilute the bitterness of the decoction.
After drinking the medicine, Yuan Shao's face looked a little better, he looked at Mrs. Liu and asked, "Why did Mrs. come here to deliver the medicine in person today?" ”
The trivial tasks of sending medicine and feeding medicine can be done by the next person.
With the dignity of Mrs. Liu, there is no need to ask at all.
Mrs. Liu said: "The concubine wants to discuss with her husband about the marriage between Xi'er and Shang'er. ”
"They are now at the age of starting a family, and the husband is busy with the world's major affairs all day long and has no time to take care of it, but how can the concubine not worry about it?"
"So I specially looked for a few suitable women to ask my husband's opinion."
As a parent, you are most concerned about your child's health.
The second is to get married and start a family.
The eldest son Yuan Tan is already married, but the remaining two sons are still single, and they don't see anyone on weekdays.
"Who are the candidates? Let me see. ”
Yuan Shao thought about it and felt that what Mrs. Liu said was reasonable, after all, passing on the lineage is the top priority.
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she asked the maid to take the portraits that had been prepared a long time ago, handed them to Yuan Shao to check one by one, and introduced them to him on the side.
"This is the daughter of the Fan Yang Lu family, with a gentle temperament, and she is the daughter of a great sect, and now she has reached the age of marriage."
"This portrait is the daughter of the Cui family of Qinghe, although she is a concubine, but her mother's family is the Zhang family of Fengxian County, which is not bad."
"And this, it's the Sima clan ...... Wen County"
There are more than a dozen portraits, each of which is a lady from a famous family, and her status and appearance are top-notch.
Yuan Shao is one of the best princes today, and the Yuan family of Runan is also the top gate valve of the fourth and third dukes, if the grade is not enough, how can he marry into the Yuan family?
Yuan Shao looked at the portraits one by one, and when he saw one of them, he raised his eyebrows and pulled it out.
"Who is the woman in this portrait? Good life and beauty. ”
The woman on this portrait is extremely beautiful, that is, Yuan Shao, who has seen a lot of beauties of all colors, couldn't help but feel amazed when he saw this portrait.
One is to marvel at the artist's amazing workmanship, and the other is to be attracted by the appearance of the woman in the painting.
Mrs. Liu glanced at it and said with a smile: "This girl was born in the Zhen family of Zhongshan, and she is the youngest daughter of the first line of the long house, she is talented and a famous beauty. ”
The concubine remembered that her name seemed to be ...... Zhen Mi. ”
