Chapter 665(1/2)
After discussing with the strategists, Lu Bu entered the back house and discussed the marriage with his wife Yan.
Yan is a pretty woman in her thirties and is also Lu Bu's wife. Lu Bu's only daughter Lu Lingqi was born by Yan.
Although he is already a mother, even his daughter is at the age of getting married.
However, the Yan family's charm was still there when they were young, and their beauty was not inferior to those famous beauties, which still made Lu Bu fascinated.
Lu Bu said to Yan in a gentle voice:
"Love wife, I plan to marry Qi'er to Yuan Shu and join forces with him to fight against Cao's thief.
What do you think, then Yuan Shu is considered a good match for Qi'er?"
Yan said to Lu Bu in a soft voice:
"I heard that Yuan Shu is dominating Jingyang, with many soldiers and abundant food, and now he has captured Yizhou again, which is indeed a bit of the emperor's aura.
If he can accomplish great things, then my daughter will have the hope of a concubine.
But Yuan Shu is about the same age as his husband, Qi'er is rebellious, and I'm worried that she can't accept it."
Lu Bu smiled and said:
"Don't worry about this lady, I've seen Yuan Shu a few times.
This person has the ability to keep his face alive. Although he is nearly 40 years old, he still looks exactly like a young man.
It looks absolutely compatible with Qi'er."
Yan said happily:
"In this way, Yuan Shu is really a good match for Qi'er.
But he is now a general and occupies half of the Han Dynasty.
Yuan Shu has such a respectful identity, can he be more respectful to our Qi'er?"
Lu Bu said proudly:
"My daughter, Lu Bu, is a top-notch man in terms of appearance and family background.
With my courage as Lu Bu and the land of Xuzhou, Yuan Shu had no reason to refuse."
Yan nodded and said:
“Since that’s the case, I should agree to it.
If Qi'er has a good match, my Xuzhou will be free of worries."
"Dad, why are you studying with your mother how to get me out again?!"
Just as Lu Bu and Yan were discussing the matter, they suddenly saw their precious daughter Lu Lingqi walking in angrily.
Lu Bu smiled at his daughter:
"Didn't you say you want to find a handsome and handsome husband with great martial arts skills?
In this world, except General Yuan Shu, there is no man who meets your requirements.
Dad finally found it for you.”
The little girl asked skeptically:
"Is Yuan Shu really that good? I heard that he is almost the same age as his father.
Some people say that Yuan Shu is actually a devil. He has three heads and six mouths. If he doesn’t eat a meal, he will go crazy.”
Lu Bu was so amused and laughed at and explained to Lu Lingqi:
"Yuan Shu is the legitimate son of the Yuan family, the first aristocratic family in the world. How could he look like that?
Before, he had a big battle with him at Hulao Pass for his father. Yuan Shu was indeed handsome and rare in the world.
Moreover, Yuan Shu's martial arts are unparalleled in the world. He still has no choice but to fight with his father for hundreds of rounds."
Out of his father's dignity, Lu Bu did not say that he was defeated by Yuan Shu.
Even so, the little girl didn't believe it very much.
In her heart, her father is the most powerful general in the world. How could anyone be comparable to him?
But if Yuan Shu is really as good as his father said, he doesn't want to marry...
Thinking of this, Lu Lingqi compromised a little:
"Then I have to see Yuan Shu first, and then decide whether to marry or not!"
Lu Bu frowned and said:
"Marriage events have been the orders of parents and the words of the matchmaker since ancient times.
How can you let go of your trouble?!"
Lu Lingqi said tit-for-tat:
"If you don't agree, I will never marry if I die!"
Yan felt sorry for his daughter, hugged Lu Lingqi and said to Lu Bu:
"Husband, I will send Qi'er to Shouchun anyway.
Maybe she might as well find a chance to meet Yuan Shu, and then go to propose marriage to the general.
If Yuan Shu is truly as perfect as his husband said, how could Qi'er not marry?"
"This...well, then I'll send Qi'er to Shouchun first."
Lu Bu was not worried that Yuan Shu would not be able to attract his daughter.
Anyone who is so narcissistic thinks that Yuan Shu's appearance is far above him.
If such a strange man can't attract his daughter, then Lu Bu really can't think of what kind of husband his daughter will marry.
...
Outside Xia Pi City, Cao's army camp.
Cao Cao stood in the camp and looked at Xia Pi. His confidant Guo Jia stood beside Cao Cao in a blue shirt.
Cao Cao spoke calmly:
"I have received a war report recently. My old friend Yuan Shu has seized Yizhou.
With Yizhou in hand, he dominated half of the Han Dynasty.
The momentum has been achieved, but I am afraid it will be difficult to shake it."
Although Cao Cao's tone was plain, his voice was a little trembling, and he was obviously extremely uneasy inside.
Guo Jia asked Cao Cao:
"Is the lord unwilling to accept it?"
Cao Cao nodded:
"Yes, I have been in Luoyang with Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao since I was a child.
At that time, we were all famous playboys in Luoyang City.
Someone thought that he was far ahead of the two Yuans in terms of mind and strategy.
But now Yuan Shu is the strongest prince in the world, and Yuan Shao also occupied the four prefectures of Hebei, like the overlord of the world.
Only Cao Mengde, who was in the Four Battles of the Central Plains, had Yuan Shu in the south, Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Bei in the west, and Lu Bu in the east.
If you are surrounded by strong enemies, you will never be able to extend your ambitions, and you will inevitably feel depressed."
Guo Jia chuckled:
"Why should the lord underestimate himself?
In a certain opinion, Lu Bu and Yuan Shao are all mediocre people.
Lu Bu's dry bones in his tomb will be destroyed by our army, which is insignificant.
Although Yuan Shao was rampant for a while, he cherished his life when doing big things and forgot his life when seeing small profits. Even if he was large in the land, he would not be afraid of it.
In Hebei, you can use a simple trick to get it for the lord.
Liu Bei's ambition was unyielding and respected the emperor to fight against unjust officials, but he occupied the time of heaven.
The lord should take it as a supporter for the Communist Party to fight against Yuan Shu.
By then, the world is divided into three parts, and the lord can also become a king and domineering career."
After listening to Guo Jia's consolation, Cao Cao felt much better.
He laughed loudly:
"I am here to worship filial piety, why are you afraid of the princes in the world?
There is no need to think too much now. The most important thing is to eliminate Lu Bu and destroy this important problem.
However, Lu Bu is unparalleled in martial arts and has many elite soldiers and generals under his command, so it is difficult to destroy it.
To be continued...
