Three Kingdoms: The ghost plotter taught Liu Bei to seize Jingzhou first

Shouchun, the main hall of the state capital.

Lu Bu held Cao Cao's handwriting in his hand, his brows furrowed and his eyes gradually bloodshot.

The content of the letter is simple and straightforward.

Send your daughter to marry my son Cao Pi.

Send your wife Yan to Xudu and let me take care of her on her behalf.

Once your sincerity is met, I will send troops to help you out.

"What a thief you are, you actually took advantage of someone's danger and wanted to take my wife and daughter as hostages."

"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!"

Lu Bu slapped the letter on the table and cursed through gritted teeth.

He was really angered.

Previously, Cao Cao just wanted to get married to him, but now he stopped pretending and actually asked for his wife to be a hostage.

Adding insult to injury and taking advantage of others' danger is extremely excessive!

"The thief Cao bullied others too much, how dare he humiliate his father like this!"

"My daughter will kill the Cao thief envoy right now!"

Lu Lingqi was even more furious. She jumped up and was about to kill someone.

Lu Bu frowned and did not stop her.

"Miss, please don’t be impulsive!"

When Cheng Lian saw this, he stood up to stop him.

Lu Lingqi was furious and said angrily:"Get out of my way, don't stop me from killing the messenger of Cao Cao!""

Cheng Lian didn't dare to offend this eldest lady, so he had to turn to Lu Bu with a sad face.

"Marquis Wen, please calm down."

"Cao Cao had previously proposed marriage to Marquis Wen and wanted to marry the eldest lady for his son. Now it is not an exaggeration to bring up the old matter again."

"But he went too far and asked his mistress to go to Xudu as a hostage. It was indeed too much."

"However, the general guessed that it was probably because Marquis Wen repeatedly pushed back on the marriage and was even wavering between Cao Cao and Yuan Shao that Cao Cao lost trust in his lord."

"Now Cao Cao's conditions are just a reassurance, but he is quite willing."

Cheng Lian, among the generals, had always advocated turning to Cao Cao, and he immediately stood up and spoke for Cao Cao.

Lu Bu's brows relaxed slightly, and the anger on his face subsided slightly.

"How can I, the dignified daughter of Lu Fengxian, marry that bitch of Cao Cao!"

"Who is my mother? How can she go to Xudu to be Cao Cao's hostage? What is the prestige of my father?"

"The thief Cao has gone too far to bully others, so you don’t have to defend him anymore!"

Lu Lingqi had long been opposed to her marriage to Cao Pi. Now that she had seized the opportunity, she naturally refused to give in and took advantage of the situation to kill Cao Cao's 323 envoys, so as to completely cut off Cao Cao's thoughts of marriage.

"Lingqi!"

"Don't be reckless, come back here!"

Lu Bu's face darkened and he shouted sternly.

Lu Lingqi was shocked and had all kinds of resentment in her heart. But looking at Lu Bu's solemn eyes, she immediately became frightened.

She could only grit her teeth and retreated unhappy.

"In fact, in this situation, the most important thing is to defend Shouchun."

"The general thought that as long as Cao Cao sent troops to help, it would not be too much to make some concessions."

"Furthermore, Cao Cao was the Han Dynasty Sikong, the overlord of the Central Plains. If the eldest lady married his son, it would not be considered an insult to the lady."

"As for the mistress..."

When Cheng Lian said this, he stopped talking and did not dare to say any more.

After all, sending his wife to someone else's house to serve as a hostage was really degrading to Lu Bu's dignity.

This kind of thing that easily offended Lu Bu, he Naturally, it was difficult to express his position.

Lu Bu stroked his beard and fell into silence.

This attitude clearly showed signs of being persuaded by Cheng Lian.

Lu Lingqi became anxious, jumped up again, pointed at Cheng Lian and cursed:

"You Chenglian, you are greedy for life and afraid of death. Just want to join Cao Cao."

"You actually ignored my father's reputation and wanted my father to exchange me and my mother for Cao Cao's reinforcements, but you made the world laugh at my father!"

"What are your intentions?——" boom!

Lu Bu hit the table with his fist, interrupting Lu Lingqi's anger.

"You are a daughter of a family, how can you dictate military and national affairs?"

Lu Lingqi was startled. Looking at Lu Bu with an angry face, she was full of grievances, but she didn't dare to say anything anymore.

"A man is capable of bending and stretching. If I can get the traitor Cao to help me out, it doesn't matter if my face is hurt..."

Lu Bu comforted himself in his heart, but his eyes were faintly shaken.

Lu Lingqi did not dare to say anything.

But Chen Gong I'm worried.

If Lu Bu marries Cao Cao, wouldn't it make Lu Bu completely turn to Cao Cao?

Then wouldn't his plan of taking refuge in Yuan Shao fail in vain?

"Marquis Wen, you should think twice about this matter."

"The loss of face is secondary. The key is that the lady went to Xudu and became Cao Cao’s hostage."

"When the time comes, Marquis Wen will be controlled by Cao Cao in everything he does."

"If one day Yuan Shao defeats Cao Cao and captures Xudu with his army, and he is furious because of the marriage between Marquis Wen and Cao Cao, and wants to destroy Marquis Wen together with Cao Cao, what should Marquis Wen do?"

Chen Gong didn't dare to object outright, so he had to bring out Yuan Shao to scare Lu Bu.

This trick was indeed effective.

Thinking of Yuan Shao's terrifying strength, Lu Bu's heart froze, and his eyes suddenly became hesitant.

"Although Yuan Shao is the strongest in the world, Cao Cao's tactics are cunning, and the battle at Guandu may not be a sure defeat."

"What if Yuan Shaojiu cannot attack and retreats to Hebei?"

"To put it another way, even if Marquis Wen wanted to defect to Yuan Shao, he would have to wait until Yuan Shao defeated Cao Cao first and then the army came to Huainan."

"But we only have three months of food and grass left in the city. Can we survive until that day?"

"The general thought that it was better to get through the immediate crisis first! Cheng

Lian analyzed the pros and cons again.

Then he softened his tone and said:

"Furthermore, Shouchun is a place of disputes. Marquis Wen sent his mistress and young lady to Xudu because he wanted to keep them out of danger and to protect them."

Cheng Lian is Lu Bu's confidant, and he understands Lu Bu's temperament best.

These last words were to build a ladder for Lu Bu, so that he could borrow the donkey from the slope and live with dignity.

Sure enough,

Lu Bu's hesitation and worries were instantly gone. , only determination remains in the eyes

"Cheng Lian, what I said is right."

"Get through this crisis first, survival is the first priority! Lu

Bu slapped the table and said resolutely:

"Immediately reply to Cao Cao's envoy. I agree to all the conditions he proposed."

"I will personally lead the troops and horses, send their mother and daughter to break out in the direction of Shangcai, and ask Cao Cao to arrange the troops to respond!"

Cheng Lian breathed a sigh of relief and praised Lu Bu for his wisdom.

But Lu Lingqi was shocked and looked at Lu Bu with a face full of determination in disbelief.

"What a handsome father!"

"You are the best general in the world, the dignified Marquis Wen!"

"Do you really want to ignore the ridicule of the world and use your daughter and mother as bargaining chips to humiliate yourself in exchange for Cao Cao's help?"

Lu Lingqi's voice was choked and hoarse, tears welled up in her eyes, and her pretty face was filled with sadness, anger and disappointment.

But Lu Bu was furious.

The best general in the world was actually scolded by his own girl for being"servile and humble"."Knee"! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Still in front of Chen Gong, Cheng Lian and other courtiers.

Where is the dignity?

"presumptuous! Lu

Bu stood up, pointed at him and angrily said:

"You are so brave, how dare you speak rudely to your father!"

"I am sending your parents and daughter to Xudu for the sake of your safety and for the foundation of my Lu family!"

"What do you, a female prostitute, know? You are talking nonsense here!"

Lu Bu became so angry that he scolded Lu Lingqi.

Lu Lingqi bit her lips tightly and glared at Lu Bu angrily.

Lu Bu didn't bother to explain to her any more, so he stood up and waved his hands and said:

"This matter is settled like this, there is no room for reversal!"

"You should stop making any noise and go back to your mother to make preparations. I will send you out of the city in three days!"

After that,

Lu Bu turned around and walked away.

"Father——"[]

Lu Lingqi became anxious and took a few steps to catch up, wanting to beg again.

Lu Bu suddenly turned around, pointed at Lu Lingqi and said sternly:

"Let me tell you again, I have made up my mind and there is no room for change!"

"If you dare to question again, don't blame me for being an unkind father!"

A murderous intent emerged in Lu Bu's eyes.

Lu Lingqi was frightened by his eyes, and she trembled. She took half a step back, not daring to say a word.

Lu Bu snorted coldly, turned around and left angrily.

Lu Lingqi could only stand where she was. With an expression of disappointment and anger, he watched Lu Bu leave indifferently and decisively.

"Father, Father"

"You have done so many notorious evil deeds, isn't the infamy you bear enough not enough?"

"Now you are willing to sacrifice your own wife and daughter in exchange for an ignoble existence."

"Do you really not care about your reputation?"

"You are the best general in the world..."

Lu Lingqi bit her red lips tightly with deep disappointment in her eyes.

At this moment,

Lu Bu left the main hall without looking back and strode out of the hall.

No one was around.

Lu Bu stopped, looked up at the dark night, and took a long breath.

"Liu Bei, the big-eared thief!"

"Deng Mu, a country man!"

"If it weren't for the hard work of your masters and ministers, how could I, Lu Bu, be reduced to selling my wife and daughter to survive!"

"This shame, I swear to God, will be brought upon you ten times sooner or later!"

"I swear——"

Lu Bu looked towards the outside of the city, gritted his teeth and secretly swore a strong oath.

…

Three days later, late at night.

The tightly closed west door of Shouchun slowly opened.

"Gongtai, I will be back tomorrow morning at most. During my absence, Shouchun City will be handed over to you."

"You must not disappoint me. Lu

Bu stared at Chen Gong with expectant eyes and explained in a serious tone.

Chen Gong looked solemn and held up his hands with emotion:

"Marquis Wen, you can go with peace of mind. With the palace here, you will be sure to live a long and prosperous life."

Lu Bu felt relieved and rode up to a carriage.

At this moment, his wife Yan was looking at Lu Bu with tears in her eyes.

Her eyes seemed to be begging that Lu Bu could change his mind at the last moment and not send her away. Walk

"Madam, Shouchun City is a place of right and wrong. My husband is sending you to Xudu for your safety."

"When you know your husband, you know the general situation, and you have to understand the difficulties of being a husband."

Lu Bu only gave symbolic comfort and had no intention of changing his mind.

Yan's last hope failed, so he could only sigh quietly.

After comforting Yan, Lu Bu looked at Lu Lingqi again.

Lu Lingqi's tears had dried, but her face was full of tears. She felt deep resentment.

Before Lu Bu could speak, she snorted coldly and lowered the car curtain.

Lu Bu had to swallow, and rode past angrily. After taking a deep breath, Lu Bu rode his horse and dragged his halberd, rushing towards Out of the west gate of Shouchun.

Thousands of Lu soldiers, with uneasy feelings in their hearts, escorted the carriage out of the city gate.

Thousands of people and horses, taking advantage of the cover of night, moved toward the gaps between Liu Jun's encirclement camps.

On the city tower.

Chen Gong watched Lu Bu and his entourage go away, and a coldness flashed quietly between his eyebrows.

…

To the west of Shouchun City.

More than three thousand men and horses were sneaking through the gap between Liu Ying.

The lights of Liu Jun's camp on both sides were faintly visible, but it was quiet.

Everything seemed to be going well and their whereabouts had not been discovered.

Shouchun City is getting further and further away, and the lights of Liuying are getting more and more blurry.

Lu Bu's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he began to secretly rejoice at his good luck, and broke through without anyone noticing.

"It’s almost time for me to return to Shouchun."

"Cheng Lian, my wife and young lady will be left to you. You must send them safely to Shangcai and hand them over to Cao Pi."

Lu Bu reined in his horse and ordered.

Cheng Lian cupped his hands and said seriously:

"Don't worry, Marquis Wen. In the end, if you risk your life, your wife and young lady will be killed.——"

The words remained unspoken.

Countless rockets suddenly rose into the sky, lighting up the night sky above.

Under the firelight, countless figures of Liu Jun were illuminated in all directions in an instant. ambush!

Liu Bei's ambush!

Lu Bu's color changed in shock..
