Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies
Chapter [88] Cao Cao's Twenty-Five Sons, Will Plan To Plan
Yan Shi was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, but he was not too surprised, and he didn't shake Lu Bu's face.
Since Lu didn't let her propose marriage, she must be a concubine when she enters the door, and there will be no accidents.
On the contrary, Lu Bu kept silent, didn't inform Yan Shi, and brought one back directly, which made Yan Shi feel in danger, just like Diao Chan did last time.
"Your husband is now a great general, so you should take more concubines and spread the branches and leaves for the Lu family." The Yan family was very open-minded and did not express any objection.
"I don't know whose daughter my husband has taken a fancy to?"
"You have seen it." Lu Bu said: "It is Cai Yong's daughter, the one who knelt in front of the mansion that day.
Yan's face showed a strange smile when he heard the words, "Your husband only saw you once, so you will never forget it?"
"No, it happened for a reason." Facing Yan's ridicule, Lu Bu was eager to explain.
"My husband doesn't need to explain to my concubine." Yan Shi didn't believe it at all, "But Miss Cai is not suitable to be a concubine even if she is a widow. Will Cai Zhonglang agree?"
Daughters of aristocratic families and officials have no examples of being concubines at all, which is too shameful.
Even if you are a concubine, you can only be a concubine for the emperor, and enter the palace as a concubine.
"Huh? A widow?" Lu Bu's focus was a bit off, "How did Madam know that Cai Yan is a widow?"
"The husband can know Miss Cai's boudoir name, so it's not surprising for the concubine to know that she is a widow?" Yan teased.
"Okay, madam, don't make fun of your husband." Lu Bu couldn't help it, "Let's say she's a widow, even if she's a dead person, she has to do a yin marriage to get her back."
All joking aside, Lu Bu doesn't mind marrying a beautiful woman, but this marriage is more about a political marriage.
Lu Bu married Cai Yan in order to draw Cai Yong into his camp.
Although I don't know what the old fox Jia Xu can do, but now I can only take one step at a time.
Seeing what Lu Bu said, Yan also realized that Lu Bu was definitely not just greedy for beauty, "Is there something hidden about this marriage?"
"Yeah." Lu Bu nodded and admitted, but he didn't explain, "Ma'am may hit a wall when she goes to propose marriage, if Cai Yong refuses straight away, Madam doesn't have to bother, just come back directly.
"The concubine understands, so let the servants prepare the things needed to propose marriage."
After lunch, Lu Bu didn't go to the Yamen, but waited for news at home.
Yan came back not long after leaving the house, and brought back the dowry, Lu Bu was not surprised by this.
If Cai Yong really agreed to make Cai Yan a concubine, he would be ashamed of his ancestors and not praise him at all, and the Cai family would lose face.
To put it bluntly, even if Cai Yong strangles Cai Yan to death, he will never agree to his daughter being a concubine. This is an absolute matter of principle.
"How?" Lu Bu still asked.
"Don't mention it, the concubine didn't even enter the gate of the Cai Mansion." Yan said angrily: "When people heard that the concubine came to propose marriage, they almost turned their faces on the spot.
Lu Bu quickly hugged Yan Shi in his arms, and comforted him: "It's okay, I will vent my anger on behalf of my husband, and when Cai Yan comes in, my wife can take care of her."
"Husband still not give up?" Yan said seriously: "I think this matter will definitely not work out.
"This thing can definitely be done, how about we make a bet?" Lu Bu asked with interest.
"Bet, just bet, what does husband want to bet?" Yan Shi also became interested.
"If I win for my husband, the three of us will run back and forth in the first half of the night and the second half of the night."
Yan Shi was shy when she heard the words, and counterattacked: "If Miss Cai's family enters the door, shouldn't there be four people?"
"That's right, I'll ask my servants to get a big bed later, otherwise I won't be able to lie on it." Lu Bu said seriously.
"Hate~"
Cai Fu.
"Too much deceit!"
No matter how good Cai Yong is, when he heard that Lu didn't want his daughter to be a concubine, he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
These days concubines have no status, similar to housemaids.
It is very common for aristocratic families to give concubines to each other, or exchange them for fun.
The Cai family is also a well-known family, how could they allow their daughter to be reduced to a concubine.
Cai Yan hurried in from the outside, "Don't get angry, Ah Weng, it's not worthwhile to be so angry."
"You know what happened?" Cai Yong asked.
"Yeah." Cai Yan nodded in agreement.
The Yan family came with great fanfare with the dowry, how could Cai Yan not know.
"Ai~" Cai Yong looked at his well-behaved daughter and sighed, "You poor girl."
"Your mother passed away early. I wanted to find you a good husband, but I never thought of making an appointment. Before you got married, the Wei family boy died of illness. What kind of thing is this~.
Before her daughter got married, she became a widow. Cai Yong was also very depressed about this, thinking that it was because he had a bad vision and didn't choose the right person for his daughter, which caused the current situation.
"Now being targeted by the villain Lu Bu again..."
"Ah Weng, let's forget about my daughter getting married." Cai Yan said.
"What?! What nonsense are you talking about, girl?" Cai Yong said angrily, "Even if you die as a father, you won't be humiliated.
Cai Yan looked worried, "Ah, Lu Bu is very powerful, if he insists on persecuting us, we will be powerless to resist."
"No, you can't give in!" Cai Yong resolutely objected.
"It's my daughter's fault that brought disaster to the family." Cai Yan said sadly.
"Say something stupid, things may not be like this." Cai Yong continued: "I think Lu Bu is quite concerned about his reputation, so he shouldn't force us."
Previously, through the matter of Cai's father and daughter, the notoriety of killing Wang Yun was successfully washed away.
The common people already knew that Wang Yun was the one who framed Cai Yong, and Lu Bu executed the treacherous official Wang Yun not to rescue Cai Yong, a great Confucian.
In addition, Lu Bu killed the national traitor Dong Zhuo and cleaned up the Xiliang army that caused the disaster. Now Lu Bu has a good reputation in Guanzhong.
The only evil deeds on Lu Bu now is killing Ding Yuan.
However, when the people mentioned it, their attitudes were more tolerant, and they would say: young people, everyone has impulsive moments.
Anyway, the people in Guanzhong don't know who Ding Yuan is, and they don't care.
All in all, Lu Bu's reputation in Guanzhong has improved.
But if Lu Bu once forced Cai Yan to be his concubine, and the news got out, then Lu Bu's reputation would be stigmatized again, which is also Cai Yong's reliance.
Cai Yong is a celebrity, so he naturally received a lot of attention.
And the development of the matter, just as Cai Yong expected, Lu Bu did not mention the marriage again, nor did he use force to force him.
Cai Yong has to deal with countless official duties every day [he quickly put this matter behind him.
Today, in the palace.
Jia Xu and Cai Yong sat in the hall to deal with government affairs.
Cai Yong opened a memorial, looked at it and frowned deeply.
"Even though Dong Bandit is dead, the rest of the disaster is still there." Cai Yong looked at Jia Xu and said, "The autumn harvest is approaching, and the people in Sanfu will have no crops, and there will be no food left for their families. I don't know how many people will starve to death by then.
Jia Xu squinted at Cai Yong, "What do you think Suo Zhong should do?"
"Naturally, it is to open a warehouse to release grain and help the victims." Cai Yong said without thinking.
"Although the idea is good, it must be combined with the actual situation of the imperial court. There is no grain in the imperial treasury, and the rats will starve to death if they enter. How can we help the victims?" Jia Xu asked rhetorically.
"This matter is simple. When Dong Zhuo built the Wuwu, the food and grass accumulated in it could not be eaten up for decades, so it can be used for disaster relief." Cai Yong said immediately.
"Meiwu is the general's spoils of war, and the food and grass inside is also the general's private property. Mr. Cai is generous with others, and Jia has seen it." The old fox was very angry.
"When the country is in crisis, the general should do his best."
"Mianbo? Hehe." Jia Xu shook his head and said, "Then you should discuss it with the general. Anyway, Jia will feel uncomfortable if he doesn't."
"Hmph! I'll go, I'll go!" Cai Yong got up angrily, and strode away.
Lu Mansion.
Lu Bu was sitting in the main hall to entertain the guests. Before Cai Yong came, someone got there first.
"The next official pays homage to the general." The person next to him pays homage.
Looking at the officials below, Lu Bu thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember who it was.
"Who are you? What is your official position? What do you want from me?" Lu didn't bother to be polite, and asked straight to the point.
"Back to the General, the next official, Dong Zhao, will take up the post of Yilang. I came here today to offer advice to the General."
Dong Zhao has already received a letter from Xun Yu, and this time he came to persuade Lu Bu to deceive the emperor from Lu Bu.
"Tell me, what advice can you offer me?" Lu Bu became interested, thinking that Dong Zhao was the one who came to recommend himself.
Lu Buzheng was worried that there were no civil servants available under his command, so he became somewhat interested in Dong Zhao, wanting to see his talent.
"You are the great general of the dynasty, but you are still inferior to others..."
Lu Bu was a little dumbfounded, why, is this here to persuade you to come in?
"You mean you want me to imitate Dong Zhuo?" Lu Bu asked in a deep voice, with aura exuding from his body.
"I don't dare!" Dong Zhao, a civil servant, couldn't bear Lu Bu's aura, so he was so frightened that he lay on the ground with cold sweat on his forehead.
Lu Bu relaxed, leaned back on his seat, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
"The idea of being an official is that it would be better to send the emperor away, and the general dominate the pass. Wouldn't it be nice?"
"Send away?" Lu Bu smiled playfully, "Where do you think you will send the emperor?"
"General, I have a friend who is working with Cao Gong at the moment. I can contact you to see if Cao Gong is interested." Dong Zhao thought that Lu Bu was moved.
"Cao Cao?"
"Exactly."
At this moment, Lu Bu was certain in his heart that this fellow was not someone who came here to recommend himself, but a young man who had connections with Cao Cao.
This is to deceive the emperor from his own hands, Cao Cao likes to coerce the emperor to make the princes.
Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhao in front of him, and didn't see through his tricks. Instead of thinking about it, he chose to follow suit.
"But why should I give it to Cao Cao? I don't have much friendship with him, but Yuan Shao and I have a little affection, maybe it's good to give it to Yuan Shao."
"What's more, rare things are valuable. There is only one emperor. Although it is useless, it is a pity to give it away for nothing."
"This... the general can take this opportunity to ask for some benefits." Dong Zhao said proactively.
"I'm sure you know about the famine in Guanzhong." Lu Bu said slowly, "As long as Cao Cao provides enough food and grass, everything will be fine."
"It's a good idea to exchange a useless emperor for a large amount of food and grass." Lu Bu deliberately pretended to be fooled, "You have a good plan, you can get promoted to a higher level, go."
Dong Zhao was overjoyed when he heard the words, thinking that Lu Bu was really a man, so easy to fool.
"Your Majesty, General Xie, go and contact my friend and tell Mr. Cao about this matter."
"Well, not bad." Lu Bu promised: "Do things for me well, and there will be a reward after the work is done."
"I will obey your orders." Dong Zhao bowed and retreated.
When he left Lu Bu's residence, Dong Zhao's face was already full of smiles.
"Haha~ That's right!" Dong Zhao whispered to himself, "When I bring the emperor to Cao Gong, I will definitely be reused. Lu Bu is an idiot who thinks that the emperor is useless. Alas~ how stupid."
And Lu Bu was also in a good mood, humming a ditty and went to feed the red rabbit.
~ People are sitting at home, food and grass are delivered to the door, Cao A hides Cao A hides, he has been cheated on Naigong's head, wait for hemorrhage.
Just as the food was prepared for Chitu, the servant came to report again.
"Master, the concierge said Cai Zhonglang asked to see him."
"No!" Lu Bu said without looking back, "Just say I'm feeding the horses and I'm not free.
"Here."
Cai Yong at the door was almost pissed off when he got the answer.
Guanzhong is about to suffer from famine, and Lu Bu still has the heart to feed the horses?
Cai Yong wanted to force his way in, but Lu Bu's personal soldiers blocked the door, so how could Cai Yong come in.
Lu Bu takes care of the feed and ensures that Chitu eats well. This is his closest comrade-in-arms. Lu Bu never pretends to take care of Chitu, and always takes care of Chitu himself.
"Husband, I heard that Cai Zhonglang came to see you?" Yan came behind Lu Bu.
Lu Bu had heard Yan's footsteps a long time ago, so he wasn't surprised, and said without turning his head: "Well, isn't this to vent your anger on Madam."
"Last time, Cai Yong let Madam have a closed door, and let him have a taste of the closed door."
Yan's heart was sweet when he heard the words, but the virtuous Yan still persuaded: "Husband, it's too rude to shut people out like this, why don't you meet me."
"Let's let it air out first." Lu said dissatisfied and indifferent.
"Husband, Cai Zhonglang is a great Confucian, and many people know him." Yan reminded: "He has been standing in front of our house, and he will definitely attract many people to watch.
"If Cai Zhonglang, like his daughter, kneels in front of our house, then the reputation of my husband will
"Hiss!" Lu Bu reacted suddenly, "That's right! Don't let this old boy play me, let him in. y
"Close the door after you come in, and I won't be too late to dry him out."
The reputation has finally been reversed, Lu Bu doesn't want to lose his reputation, it's safer to close the door and beat the dog.
Cai Yong was still worrying about how to enter the Lu Mansion, but he was suddenly invited in, which surprised Cai Yong, but there were more unexpected things.
After entering Lu Bu's mansion, no one cared about him, and he didn't come out, and asked the maid, but no one responded to Cai Yong.
Waiting and waiting, Cai Yong drank several pots of tea until his stomach was full, but he still did not see Lu Bu.
"Where's the general?! The old man has something important (good Zhao) to see the general!" Cai Yong finally couldn't help but get angry.
Not to mention, Cai Yong's anger was indeed of some use, and a man dressed as a housekeeper came.
"Cai Zhonglang forgive me, my master doesn't want to see you, please go back."
"No, the old man must see him today." Cai Yong insisted: "Otherwise I won't leave when I grow old."
"Master Zhonglang, look." The butler pointed to the outside, "Take these things away, and you will definitely see my master."
Cai Yong looked in the direction of the housekeeper's finger, and there were some items piled up in the courtyard, with red ribbons wrapped around them, so he knew it was a betrothal gift.
The housekeeper smiled and took out a handwritten letter, saying: "This is the list of betrothal gifts. My master said it. Cai Zhonglang must read it before making a decision. Don't act impulsively."
After the housekeeper handed the handwriting to Cai Yong, he bowed and left.
Cai Yong squeezed the gift list in his hand, furious, he didn't expect that Lu Bu would bring up the old story again and threaten him by surrounding this matter.
Cai Yong really wanted to tear up the gift list to vent his anger, but he finally opened the gift list after thinking of the housekeeper's instructions.
There is only one sentence above: food and grass for disaster relief are also part of the betrothal gift.
Cai Yong remained silent after watching it, knowing that Lu Bu was determined to score points for his daughter.
At this time, Cai Yong's heart was so entangled that he had to choose between his daughter, who was regarded as the jewel in his palm, and the countless hungry people in Guanzhong, how should he choose?
Choosing a disaster victim means that the daughter will be a concubine.
Choosing a daughter means that Lu Bu will not provide disaster relief, and countless people in Guanzhong will starve to death, Cai Yong couldn't bear it.
Lu Bu kidnapped Cai Yong with morality, and almost strangled Cai Yong to death.
In the end, Cai Yong made a difficult choice and took away the dowry from the courtyard.
"Husband, will this be too much?" Yan asked a little bit impatiently.
"It's really too much." Lu Bu nodded and said: "But no matter how much it is too much, it must be done. At worst, I will apologize to Cai Yong afterwards, but his daughter must be married, otherwise he will not be able to keep his heart in the Han Dynasty.
Lu Bu can be regarded as successful here, so let's see how Jia Xu will act. .
