Yuan Shu was born in the Runan family, and was the direct son of Sikong Yuan Feng.
Because of his prominent family background, he loved flying eagles and lackeys when he was young, showing his playfulness.
Yuan Shu's shortcomings became more obvious after he became an adult. The clues can be seen when Yuan Shu occupied Nanyang after the failure of the crusade against Dong Zhuo.
At this time, there were millions of households in Nanyang, but he was extravagant and extravagant, and imposed excessive taxes on the people under his rule, making people's lives difficult.
Yuan Shu was greedy for pleasure and short-sighted. After obtaining Sun Ce's imperial seal, he was no longer satisfied with his existing fame and status.
Zhang Jiong, a counselor from Hanoi, could figure out what was going on. He had previously said that Hao Meng would be surrendered to rebel against Lu Bu. After Hao Meng failed in his rebellion and was beheaded, he actively prepared talismans to please Yuan Shu.
At the beginning of the second year of Jian'an, Zhang Jiong presented a carefully prepared talisman to Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu thought that he had his destiny, so he proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun and called himself "Zhongjia".
Shu appointed the governor of Jiujiang as the Yin of Huainan, appointed hundreds of public officials, worshiped heaven and earth in the suburbs according to the emperor's etiquette, and ascended the throne of the emperor.
This act of transgression was opposed by his vassal Sun Ce, and the two broke off diplomatic relations after his persuasion failed.
Yuan Shu said that although the lonely Taoist and the few were temporarily complacent, the princes of all parties still regarded the emperor of the Han family as the common master of the world. In order to seek the recognition of the princes, he asked Han Yin to bring gifts to Xiapi again and asked Lu Bu to fulfill his promise to marry his daughter to Shouchun. .
The weather in May was warm and the flowers were blooming. Lu Lingqi had lost her former glory. Not only did she rarely go to the school to practice martial arts, she also rarely spoke on weekdays. She changed from a girl with a cheerful personality to an ordinary woman with no luster.
Lu Bu was confused and asked Yan: "Lingqi has been silent for the past six months. Is there anything on her mind?"
Yan shook his head and said, "It's been like this since Hao Meng's rebellion. Are you scared?"
"Scared? Lingqi shouldn't..."
"But that's okay. After all, she's already quite old. She's been wielding swords and guns all these years. Now it's time to calm down." Yan sighed.
"Well, Madam, please worry more about your daughter."
At this time, the guard came to report that Chen Gong had something to do and wanted to see Lu Bu.
Lu Bu quickly came to the front hall. Chen Gong hurriedly went up and said: "My lord, Han Yin has just come from Shouchun. He has brought many gifts. Please send the lady to Shouchun as soon as possible to get married. Since the lord has accepted the betrothal gift, you can't do it." If there is any further delay, Confucius said: If people do not have faith, they do not know what is possible..."
Lu Bu nodded in good faith and said, "What Gongtai said makes sense. You go to the post house to settle Han Yin first. I'll prepare the car with Gao Shun."
Gao Shun was stunned after receiving the order. He didn't expect that Yuan Shu would come to propose marriage again, and he didn't know what Miss Lu would do this time.
Time was tight and there was no time to go to Xiaopei to ask for advice. Gao Shun used the excuse of asking about honor guards, driving and other issues, and went into the house to meet Lu Lingqi, whom he had not seen for a long time.
Seeing Lu Lingqi admiring flowers in the back garden with an expressionless face, Gao Shun approached and asked, "Miss, did you know that Han Yin came to Xiapi again?"
"He will come as soon as he comes, there is nothing to make a fuss about." Lu Lingqi picked off a petal and said.
"Han Yin is here to propose marriage. My lord asked me to prepare a ceremonial car and take you to Shouchun early tomorrow morning. Do you want me to send someone to Xiaopei overnight?" Gao Shun asked.
Lu Lingqi shook her head and said, "So what if I ask for a plan? Can I marry him?"
"Why did Miss say this? Did Lan Ziyu say something?" Gao Shun was surprised.
"Although my father and Liu Bei are in peace now, they are so close to each other and there will be a war sooner or later. I don't want Lan Ziyu to be in trouble because of Gan Qian and me, so it doesn't matter who I marry..." Lu Lingqi shook her head and sighed.
"Can..."
"Go back first..."
Gao Shun left in disappointment. He was originally very optimistic about this beautiful couple, but he didn't expect such a result.
Early the next morning, Lu Bu came to see her off early, and Yan put Lu Lingqi on the carriage in tears.
Last night, Chen Gong kept chatting with Lu Bu so that he didn't have the chance to get drunk. Seeing Gao Shun, Han Yin and others walking out of Xiapi, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The red chariot came out of Xia Pi Nan Gate, and the news quickly reached the Chen family. Chen Gui had no time to beat around the bush and hurriedly entered the house to ask for an audience with Lu Bu.
When Lu Bu saw Chen Gui coming, he was overjoyed and said, "It's Han Yu who's here. I'm marrying my daughter today, so you just have a drink with me."
"This is a big mistake. The general has already forgotten the benefits and risks I stated to you?" Chen Gui reminded him.
"Although there are advantages and disadvantages, it is not worth worrying about. Confucius said: If a person has no faith, he does not know what is possible. Am I the one who does not have faith in his words?" Lu Bu said seriously.
Chen Gui was speechless, thinking that if you had faith, there would be no thieves in the world...
"Ming Gong, please listen to what Chen Gui has to say. Cao Cao welcomes the emperor and assists in government affairs. Last year, he also declared the general as the Mu of Xuzhou. Now that Yuan Shu has arrogantly proclaimed himself emperor, this move will make the world's princes enemies and will inevitably attract all the heroes to attack him. General
If you marry Yuan Shu at this time, won't you be called disloyal and unjust?" Chen Gui said sadly.
Lu Bu listened to Chen Gong's praise, saying that by marrying Yuan Shu, he became a relative of the emperor. Now he suddenly realized what Chen Gui said.
"I was mistaken by the public platform, but it's already a dead end. What can I do?" Lu Bu asked in panic.
"If you want to see your bride in a carriage, why don't you send someone to chase her?" Chen Gui suggested.
"If Han Yu hadn't reminded me, I, Lu Bu, would have become a traitor to the country. I, Chi Tu Ma, would have chased me personally."
Just as Lu Bu was about to leave, Chen Gui waved his hand and said, "General, you can take the wedding envoy Han Yin back and send him to Xudu to be given to Cao Cao. This will completely eliminate Yuan Shu's thoughts."
"Just follow Han Yu's words."
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he ordered his men to fetch the red rabbit horse and ride away to the south of the city, Juechen.
Han Yin was in a good mood after completing the task. He rode a tall horse and walked with Gao Shun at the front of the procession.
"I heard that General Gao put down Hao Meng's rebellion overnight. He is a true hero." Han Yin knew the inside story about Xiapi, and what he said at this time was sincere praise.
"This is a soldier's duty and I don't dare to call myself a hero." Gao Shun said.
"When my lord first ascended the throne, General Lu followed the time of the day and got married. Not only will he be a high-ranking official in the future, but he will also be rich and generous, and the general will also enjoy endless glory and wealth..." Han Yin said with a smile.
"Who knows the future? Let's hurry up as soon as possible." Gao Shun hesitated and refused to say any more.
Han Yin saw that this guy was ignorant of the world, so he sneered and rode to the right side of the team.
After driving out of the city for more than an hour, I heard a horse galloping from behind.
The trapped camp was extremely vigilant. Upon seeing this, Gao Shun raised his hand and stopped the convoy.
"General Gao, why did you stop moving forward?" Han Yin asked in confusion.
Gao Shun pointed to the rear and said: "Someone is coming from behind. It may be something important. That figure seems to be... my lord?"
"General Lu is here?" Han Yin rubbed his eyes and saw that the horse was running like fire. It was indeed Lu Bu's mount Red Rabbit.
"What other orders did General Lu have? He actually chased him personally." Han Yin asked with a smile.
Lu Bu reined in the horse and ordered, "Bo Ping, turn the horse's head immediately and take Lingqi back to the city."
"No." Gao Shun was stunned for a moment, then immediately executed the order.
"General Lu, what do you mean?" Han Yin asked in confusion.
Lu Bu glanced at Han Yin coldly and said, "Tie this guy back and send him to Xudu."
When Han Yin heard this, he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder split apart. How could he survive if he went to Cao Cao's place?
Gao Shun was confused, and Lu Lingqi also opened the car curtain at this time.
