Three Kingdoms: Liu Bei seeks the master and seeks to conquer the world

Chapter 300 Treacherous Cao Cao, Lu Bu was forced to marry a daughter

Princess Hongnong, Tang Ji, is the wife of the young emperor Liu Bian!
Tang Ji was born in the Tang family of Yingchuan, which was also a well-known wealthy family. Tang Ji's grandfather Tang Zhen was once the chief minister of Liu Hong's period, and her father Tang Mao was also the prefect of Kuaiji.

Tang Ji was also made the wife of the young emperor Liu Bianli because of her prominent family background.

In other words, if the young emperor Liu Bian hadn't been poisoned to death, Tang Ji would have been the queen!
After Liu Bian was poisoned, Tang Ji fled back to Yingchuan. Tang Mao wanted Tang Ji to remarry, but Tang Ji refused to do so.

When Li Jue and Guo Si robbed Guandong, Tang Ji was captured by Li Jue, and because of Jia Xu's persuasion, Tang Ji avoided being attacked by Li Jue and was named Hongnong Princess by Liu Xie.

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

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

Lu Bu relied on Liu Bei's reminder to count Cao Cao by chance. He never thought that Cao Cao would use such insidious means to count against himself.

If this is an ordinary woman, she can settle it with Lu Bu Jianwei as the great general.

But Princess Hongnong.
Just thinking about it, Lu Bu felt like breaking out in a cold sweat.

Once Liu Xie finds out about it, it will be a great crime against the Jiu Clan!
Born in a bitterly cold place, recognized two adoptive fathers, killed two adoptive fathers, and abandoned his reputation to get his current status. Lu Bu is very obsessed with the position of General Jianwei.

But now, Cao Cao's little beauty trick has put Lu Bu in a predicament that is about to die.

Beside Cao Cao, Xu Chu and Cao Hong had already held down the hilt of his sword, guarding against Lu Bu's courageous attack.

"General, if Cao dies, you won't be able to hide the fact that you kidnapped Princess Hongnong and ruined her innocence."

"Think about your wives and concubines, your daughter, are you really going to die with Cao Mou?"

Cao Cao was calm and unafraid, holding a wine bottle, quietly watching Lu Bu who had fallen into a manic state.

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

"Cao Mengde, this beauty was given by you, not by the general who took her away!" Lu Bu suppressed his anger, roaring in a low voice like a leopard.

Cao Cao smiled disdainfully: "It doesn't matter whether you, the general, took her away; the important thing is that the bad Concubine Hongnong is innocent, and it is you, the general!"

"Cao Mengde, you are courting death!" Lu Bu couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and blasted towards Cao Cao with a powerful punch.

However, Lv Bu, without the Chituma and Fang Tian's painted halberd, only relied on his bare hands, and his combat effectiveness was limited.

Xu Chu, who was beside Cao Cao, roared angrily and punched Lu Bu head-on.

"So much strength!"

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

"The anger is gone?" Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu with a smile while holding the wine bottle.

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

Cao Cao picked up the wine jar and poured wine into Lu Bu's wine bottle: "It's okay if you don't give up the position of general."

Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next moment, Cao Cao's tone became a bit more unquestionable: "Cao can not fight for this general, but the daughter of the general must marry Cao's eldest son as his wife!"

"Cao Mou's son, [-]-year-old filial piety, civil and martial arts, treats each other as a wife, and it is not an insult to the general's daughter."

"General, what about Cao's proposal?"

Lu Bu's eyes became complicated again.

Normally speaking, the daughter of the Great General married the son of the Great Sikong, it was considered a good match.

However, this Da Sikong is Cao Cao, and the relationship becomes delicate.

Cao Cao has more than one son.

Lu Bu has only one daughter!
After marrying his daughter to Cao Cao's son, Lu Bu will be completely tied to Cao Cao.

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 wild beast in a pit, either surrender or die, there is no third way.

a long time.

Lu Bu took a deep breath and compromised: "The eldest son of Da Sikong must be a rare talent in this world. It is a blessing that he could have found such a good son-in-law."

Cao Cao laughed: "It's a good thing that Cao and the General are able to marry Qin and Jin. If the General is interested, how about Cao sending the beauty to the General's Mansion?"

Lu Bu's face changed again, he got up and said goodbye: "I will be too drunk to drink, I have to go back and discuss the marriage with my wife. I will not know about the beauty."

After Lu Bu left, Cao Cao's narrow eyes flashed a trace of contempt: "No schemer."

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

Cao Cao indeed sent someone to rob Tang Ji, but the beauty given to Lu Bu was not Tang Ji.

If Lu Bu really wanted to kill the fish, Cao Cao would use this deceitful technique into a blind move.

Lu Bu, who was blind and drunk, didn't know who the beauty on the couch was.

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

Princess Hongnong Tang Ji had already woken up. When she saw Cao Cao, Tang Ji's face changed drastically: "Cao Sikong, why are you here?"

Cao Cao was very respectful: "It was Cao's soldiers who killed two sneaky men in black and saved the princess during the night patrol."

"Could it be that the princess has an enemy seeking revenge recently?"

Tang Ji was doubtful, but seeing that the clothes on her body were in good condition, her doubts in her heart became much less.

enemy?

Tang Ji didn't remember any enemies she had.

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

Tang Ji's complexion changed, and then she shook her head: "I just want to spend the rest of my life quietly, and I don't want to get involved in disputes anymore. Cao Sikong will send me back."

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

"The thieves dared to kidnap the princess. It was a provocation to Cao. To protect the safety of the princess, please allow Cao to send tiger guards."

Tang Ji didn't think much about it, and said, "In this case, Cao Sikong will have to worry about it. It's just that I like to be quiet, so I ask Cao Sikong to tell the tigers not to make noise, and don't bully passers-by."

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

Looking at Tang Ji's graceful 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 and Chen Gong's turn next."

"Zhang Mengzhuo, you and I were old friends, but now we are enemies."

"The world is impermanent, and the universe is unpredictable, so Cao can't bear it."

The news of Cao Cao's marriage with 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 of status, it is impossible to get married on the same day directly, and the six wedding ceremonies also have to go through a process.

Cao Cao invited a matchmaker to go to the General's Mansion to accept the match. The news cannot be hidden from anyone.

"Lü Bu, a man who forgets righteousness when he sees profit, what kind of benefit did he get from Cao Cao this time, and he wants to marry his daughter to Cao Cao's son!" Zhang Miao cursed and was very dissatisfied with Lu Bu.

Chen Gong also frowned: "Meng Zhuo, Cao Cao married Lu Bu, there is no room for you and me in this court, we need to prepare early."

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

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

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

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

If Cao Cao wants to imitate Dong Zhuo, no one in this court can control him!

Zhang Miao was also aware of this predicament, and was even more angry: "It's all the fault of Liu Xuande, if Liu Xuande hadn't supported the move to Yingchuan, how could we have been constrained by Cao Aman?"

"If the Son of Heaven is in Chenliu, why should we let Lu Bu take over the military power?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Miao said again: "The situation is critical now, Cao Bandit may frame you and me at any time and depose you and me from official positions."

"I intend to call Zang Hong to station troops and stay on the frontier for foreign aid. What does Gongtai think?"

Chen Gong frowned and said: "After Zang Ziyuan became the shepherd of Yanzhou, he has always kept his duty. Last time when he was asked to ask the emperor to move the capital to Chenliu, he was quite reluctant and said that the shepherd should not interfere with the matter of moving the capital."

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

"I'm afraid it will be difficult for Zang Ziyuan to garrison Chen Liu."

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

"Now Zang Ziyuan has two generals under his command. One is Chenliu's Gao Shun, who is dull and difficult to make friends with, and the other is Dongping's Hao Meng, who is quite friendly with my brother."

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

"If we can recommend Zang Hong to be the shepherd of Yanzhou, we can also prevent Zang Hong from being the shepherd of Yanzhou!"

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

If you want to gain an advantage in Yingchuan's court battle, 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, His Majesty must be angry with Lu Bu."

"Meng Zhuo can find an opportunity to meet the emperor and find out what the emperor has to say."

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

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

Cao Cao married Lu Bu, and Liu Xie was dissatisfied with Cao Cao. Isn't this a good opportunity to persuade Liu Xie to move his capital to Chenliu?
"The public platform makes sense!"

"I'm going to look for the emperor. Gongtai can secretly contact Ma Rike, Yang Biao and others to persuade the emperor to move his capital to Chenliu."

And Liu Xie in the deep palace was equally bored.

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

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

Liu Xie regarded Lu Bu as his most trusted person.

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

"Is Lu Bu here yet?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the general said that he contracted a cold and was bedridden."

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

"Lü Bu is stronger than tigers and leopards, how could he catch the cold?"

"Lü Bu's thief is the most unrighteous of those who forget righteousness when they see profit!"

Lu Bu had a guilty conscience because of Princess Hongnong's affairs, and knew that marrying Cao Cao would hurt Liu Xie, so he complained of illness at home and refused to go to the court meeting.

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

Feeling depressed, someone reported to Situ and Zhang Miao to see him.

"Zhang Miao?"

Liu Xie's face became more gloomy.

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

Except for Liu Ai, Dong Cheng, Fu Wan and other relatives of the emperor, the rest of the public officials with foreign surnames are a group of people who only want to fight for power and profit, and don't take themselves as the emperor seriously at all.

"not see!"

Liu Xie felt depressed and didn't want to see Zhang Miao at all.

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

Liu Xie took a deep breath, suppressed his disgust towards Zhang Miao, and shouted, "Please let Zhang Situ in."

Soon.

Zhang Miao hurried over.

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

Once Cao Cao launches an attack, Zhang Miao, Situ, is likely to be directly deposed by Liu Xie!
"Your Majesty, I have something important to report, so please turn away!" Zhang Miao said anxiously.

Liu Xie waved his hand, signaling the eunuchs and maids around him to step down, and then said in a mocking tone, "Zhang Situ is in charge of state affairs, what else can't be done by himself?"

Zhang Miao was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged."

Liu Xie snorted coldly: "Zhang Situ, I don't want to listen to your nonsense, if you have something important, just say it!"

Zhang Miao took a deep breath and said in a concentrated voice, "Your Majesty, do you know that General Lu Bu married Sikong Cao Cao?"

Liu Xie's tone was not kind: "Did you come here specially to tell me about this? If there is 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."

"It's only been a few months since your majesty moved the capital to Yingchuan, and more than half of the court officials have been deposed and imprisoned."

"Even Lu Bu is attached to Cao Cao now, beware of Cao Cao imitating Dong Zhuo and Li Jue, coercing His Majesty to make you disobedient."

Liu Xie's eyes became gloomy: "Cao Sikong has made great contributions to rectifying the administration of officials. Those ministers deserved their crimes when they were deposed and imprisoned. But you say that Cao Sikong has the heart of Dong Zhuo and Li Jue. Is there any evidence?"

Zhang Miao was speechless for a moment.

If there is evidence, why do I come to see Your Majesty in private?
After a pause, Zhang Miao gritted his teeth and stopped pretending: "Your Majesty, I am so loyal that the world can learn from it. I am bold enough to ask you to send a secret order to Yanzhou Mu Zanghong to welcome you and move your capital to Chenliu."

Liu Xie narrowed his eyes: "Zhang Situ, do you want me to move my capital to Chenliu?"

Zhang Miao nodded and persuaded again: "Your Majesty, Cao Cao's party is fighting dissidents, wantonly dismissing old ministers and installing cronies. Given time, he will become the next Dong Zhuo."

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

"Please think twice, Your Majesty!"

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

"Could it be that Zhang Situ thought that if I moved the capital to Chenliu, I wouldn't be hindered by you and other ministers?"

"It's just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth. Do you really think I'm still that child who doesn't understand anything?"

Zhang Miao's back was already drenched in cold sweat.

what happened?

Why does His Majesty see it so clearly?

Who is giving advice to His Majesty?

After a long time, Liu Xie's cold words sounded in Zhang Miao's ears again: "I will not give you a secret edict, but will only give you a verbal edict."

"Zhang Situ, whether you can let me go to Chenliu safely or not depends on your own ability."

"If you fail, I will tell Cao Sikong without hesitation that you are the one who kidnapped me!"
