Three Kingdoms: My Strategy Simulator.

(PS: The original outline was to instill values favorable to Liu Bei in Diao Chan and maintain the original CP, but there was controversy.

So, minor details were modified in Chapters 371 and 372, changing Diao Chan's arrangement direction to "Head of the Wu County Song and Dance Troupe". Interested foster fathers can also go back and see the modified parts.)

Pure love?

Chen Gong had never heard this word before, but it didn't prevent him from quickly understanding its meaning, and he didn't have the slightest doubt.

After all, the Han Dynasty was extremely open in this regard.

Not to mention the princes and nobles below, even the Emperor of Han was often indulging in beauty, or fond of other men's wives, or purely and deeply in love, or even had homosexual inclinations.

With the superiors setting an example, it naturally led to a flourishing of diversity in this regard within the Han Dynasty.

Chen Gong might not approve of this, but he deeply admired it.

Afterwards, Chen Gong discussed some details with Liu Bei and Li Ji, and then hurriedly left, heading straight for Yuan Shu's residence.

"It can be seen that Gongtai is a little anxious," Liu Bei said, watching Chen Gong leave.

Li Ji said with a smile.

"This is inevitable.

The military discipline of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry is much better than that of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, but they are stationed in the palace day and night, often able to get close to beautiful concubines and maids.

No matter how high Wen Hou's prestige is, how much can he suppress?

Perhaps, some difficult-to-handle accidents have already occurred in the palace.

Chen Gong is afraid that Lu Bu will be as lewd in the palace as his foster father Dong Zhuo, so he is so anxious.

Even this is not so much a negotiation as it is letting the lords set conditions…"

As he spoke, Li Ji frowned unconsciously, suddenly realizing that there was something contradictory in it.

The situation in Luoyang had been relatively calm for several days.

It was already somewhat unexpected that Chen Gong was able to delay the negotiations with the lords until now, but the problem also lies within this.

If he was anxious, why didn't he negotiate earlier, insisting on dragging it out until this time?

'Unless, something major happened in the palace that held Chen Gong back?'

That subtle unreasonableness undoubtedly led Li Ji to speculate the answer here.

Although the Brocade-Clothed Guard had previously launched a "money ability" operation, barely stuffing a castrated man named Liu Bao to bypass further complete castration, impersonating a real eunuch who had already been castrated and entering the palace as a fake eunuch.

It's just that now the palace is completely blocked by the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry.

Even if Liu Bao finds out any information, he can't pass it out at all.

And Chen Gong quickly arrived at Yuan Shu's place.

Yuan Shu, relying on being a direct descendant of the Yuan family, directly moved into the Yuan family's old mansion in Luoyang, and vigorously renovated it, so that this mansion can be described as having pavilions, terraces, and towers, showing luxury and splendor.

Chen Gong followed the servants around for a while before seeing Yuan Shu holding a silver party in a hall.

A large number of bare-chested women made Chen Gong subconsciously look away, and then stepped forward to salute and state his identity.

In response, Yuan Shu continued to lean on the legs of a young girl, tasting honey water, and said.

"Chen Gongtai? What can you advise?"

Such an impolite scene made Chen Gong's face almost uncontrollably show anger.

Not to mention compared to Liu Bei, even compared to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, who was so arrogant and rude, was far inferior.

However, thinking of the grand plan, Chen Gong could only endure his anger and said in a deep voice.

"This time, His Majesty has learned that Yuan Gonglu has sent troops for the country to conquer rebellious thieves, so he intends to reward Yuan Gonglu, and sent me to inquire about it."

"Oh?"

Yuan Shu, who had never looked at Chen Gong directly, raised his eyes at this point, then curled his lips and said.

"Who are you?

What qualifications do you have to call me by my courtesy name?

Could it be that the current envoys don't even understand the rules of needing to call officials by their official titles when visiting officials?"

These words were undoubtedly meant to severely humiliate Chen Gong.

Chen Gong's face was also livid.

The reason for directly addressing him by his courtesy name was that Chen Gong intentionally wanted to narrow the distance between the two parties, while also showing that this was a private visit on behalf of the emperor.

What Chen Gong never expected was that Yuan Shao had received him politely before, and Liu Bei had even personally welcomed him and treated him as a distinguished guest.

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, was so arrogant that he even used this as an excuse to humiliate Chen Gong.

Chen Gong took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said.

"Lord Yuan, I have previously visited Yuan Benchu and Uncle Liu…"

But before Chen Gong could prepare to further use Yuan Shao and Liu Bei to put pressure on Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu, who was still leaning on a young girl drinking honey water, suddenly changed his face, suddenly became furious, sat up, and shouted angrily.

"Could it be that I am inferior to that son of a concubine and a weaver of mats?

To visit them first and then visit me, do you think I, Yuan Gonglu, am easy to bully?

Take him out!

Take this person out for me immediately!!!"

Immediately, four guards standing outside the door rushed in, directly using the long halberds in their hands to lift Chen Gong, who had not yet reacted, and then directly threw him out of the mansion.

Chen Gong, who was thrown out in public, was so angry that his beard was trembling, and his face was even more livid.

"Unreasonable!

Unreasonable!

Such a person will surely become a skeleton in a tomb sooner or later!"

Chen Gong roared angrily in the direction of Yuan Shu, and then sat back in the sedan chair under the protection of the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry guards waiting outside the mansion.

However, as Chen Gong gradually calmed down, he also realized that the internal contradictions of the allied forces seemed to be much greater than he had imagined.

Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu were all at odds with each other, and even the contradictions had surfaced.

After some thought, Chen Gong lifted a corner of the curtain and stared at Yuan Shu's mansion, revealing a sinister smile.

'This humiliation will be repaid a hundredfold!'

Immediately, Chen Gong completely dispelled the idea of continuing to visit Yuan Shu, and instead contacted the remaining lords one by one.

At first, when Yuan Shu heard this news, he believed that he had won over a considerable number of lords, and Chen Gong would eventually have to ask for his help after going around in circles.

More importantly, Yuan Shu felt that the more time passed, the heavier his weight would be, and the higher demands he could make.

Therefore, Yuan Shu was not anxious at all, and was still drinking and making merry in the mansion every day.

However, what Yuan Shu had not expected was that only two days later, instead of waiting for Chen Gong to visit again, he learned that the emperor was about to reconvene a court meeting to reward all the meritorious officials.

"Court meeting?!

Without my approval, why convene a court meeting to reward meritorious officials?"

Furious, Yuan Shu immediately contacted the small lords who were attached to him and prepared to summon troops into the city together.

The Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry led by Lu Bu blocked the palace, but in order to ensure the safety of entering Luoyang, the allied lords divided the four walls of Luoyang among Yuan Shao, Liu Bei, and Yuan Shu, respectively, to avoid the accident of being caught in a瓮中捉鳖(entrapment).
