Chapter 431 Mrs. Bai Yugan and Tao Qian (Three in One)
Chapter 431 Mrs. Bai Yugan and Tao Qian (three in one)
"Lord, why don't you send troops to kill Gongsun Zan's men!
A mere three hundred people dare to show off their power in Jizhou, I really don’t want to live anymore!”
Yan Liang, Yuan Shao's general, came to Yuan Shao and asked Yuan Shao for a battle.
He wanted to kill Gongsun Yue and the three hundred soldiers and horses led by Gongsun Yue.
Seeing these people hanging around under his nose, he felt very uncomfortable.
This is an insult to all the people in Jizhou who follow their lord, and it is a slap in the face of their lord!
Yuan Shao smiled and comforted Yan Liang: "With the help of Gongsun Zan, we took Jizhou in our hands effortlessly. We didn't leave any soup for this guy. I'm afraid this guy has already become furious.
We have taken such a big advantage, so why don't we allow this guy to use some disgusting methods?
Moreover, this guy is now eager for us to kill the people he sent.
It is true that these people are his Gongsun Zan's people, but they are here to bring gifts to congratulate Liu Cheng on his marriage.
If we take action to destroy him, we will not only hit Gongsun Zan in the face, but it will also be no longer our affair with Gongsun Zan.
At this time, everything should be done on the safe side. When you need to be patient, be patient.
This is a plan set by Gongsun Zan’s little maid for us. No matter what, we must not fall for this evil trap and don’t cause any complications!”
Yuan Shao and Yan Liang explained in this way and suppressed the matter.
Hearing what Yuan Shao said, Yan Liang, although his hands were itchy, could only follow what Yuan Shao said, suppress the murderous intention in his heart, and watch helplessly as Gongsun Yue and his party swaggered through Jizhou and headed towards Chang'an...
My lord is really as afraid of Liu Cheng as a tiger!
Even though he didn't want to admit it, even covering up everything could not change this matter!
Yan Liang followed all the way and thought so in his heart after watching Gongsun Yue and others leave Jizhou.
Last time, the lord gathered all the people from the world to conquer Dong Zhuo. It was a pity that he and Wen Chou did not go because of some matters.
The last time, whenever one of the two of them went there, Dong Zhuo's head had already been chopped off!
Not only Dong Zhuo, but also Liu Cheng were beheaded!
Others are afraid of Liu Cheng, but I am not afraid!
With this thought in his heart, Yan Liang clenched the knife in his hand, looking forward to meeting Liu Cheng one day.
That will be the time when you become famous in one fell swoop and become famous all over the world!
…
Here in Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Tao Qian is sitting in his mansion.
Previously, Yuan Shao called on people from all over the world to form an alliance to defeat Dong Zhuo and prepare to go against Dong Zhuo.
Tao Qian ignored Yuan Shao.
Instead, he took the lead and formed an alliance to protest against Dong.
Liu Kui, the Prime Minister of the East China Sea, Ji Lian, the Prime Minister of Pengcheng, Kong Rong, the Prime Minister of the Beihai State, Yuan Zhong, the Prime Minister of Pei, Ying Shao, the Grand Administrator of Taishan, Xu Qiu, the Grand Administrator of Runan, and others responded one after another.
Of course, his alliance to challenge Dong was just a stroke of water, and he did not really go to challenge Dong.
The reason for this was because he felt that Yuan Shao had ulterior motives. What he did before was superficially for the big man, but in fact it was all for himself.
But that guy is used to being righteous.
If you don't follow it, you will inevitably live up to the truth.
Therefore, a coalition was formed to fight against Dong and fight on the sidelines.
Not only can it not be used by Yuan Shao, but also it can not be true to the facts, and it can also win over many people and find like-minded people.
It can be said that you kill several birds with one stone...
Tao Qian, the good old man in the novel, is actually not a modest and good man.
Not to mention anything else, just the way he played it, the word "good old man" has nothing to do with him.
This guy has his own temper and ideas.
This time, Tao Qian's reaction exceeded many people's expectations.
Tao Qian, who had always been in the circle he had formed, unexpectedly sent someone to Chang'an with gifts to attend Liu Cheng's wedding!
In fact, the people he sent set off before Liu Bei and others.
Tao Qian has always played in his own circle, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about other things.
On the contrary, he was more concerned about what was happening in Chang'an and many other places than many people, and he knew about it earlier...
This is also the reason why he acted so quickly this time.
"After King Jing of Zhongshan, he followed Dong Zhuo, made great military exploits, and became General Wei. Now he wants to marry Dong Zhuo's granddaughter and marry Dong Zhuo...
Is this going to lead Dong Zhuo all the way to darkness?
The Han family clan who grew up under Dong Zhuo have now become the pillars of Dong Zhuo's place...
Liu Cheng, Liu Kede, what exactly do you want to do?
Do you really want to follow Dong Zhuo to the end, or are you secretly accumulating strength and waiting for time to get rid of Dong Zhuo and revive the Han Dynasty?
Before you married Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, I still felt like getting rid of Dong Zhuo.
But now, after marrying Dong Zhuo's granddaughter, how can you get rid of Dong Zhuo?
But, if you don’t get rid of Dong Zhuo, how will you, a member of the Han clan, proceed from now on?
After getting rid of Dong Zhuo, will you ascend the throne and proclaim yourself emperor, or will you assist the emperor and fulfill your responsibilities as Uncle Liu?
…”
Tao Qian was sitting here, with thoughts in his eyes and muttering to himself.
After doing this for a while, he couldn't help but shake his head and murmured: "I don't understand, I don't understand!
The most difficult thing to see through in this world is the human heart.
I hope you are a man who loves the Han Dynasty and can kill Dong Zhuo, and then assist the Emperor of the Han Dynasty to make the Han Dynasty rich and powerful again..."
As he said this, his thoughts wandered far away.
After a while, I finally took my thoughts back and put them on Pingyuan County.
There, there was also Queen Jing of Zhongshan.
This Prince Jing of Zhongshan is far less famous than the other Prince Jing of Zhongshan, nor is he as brilliant as the other Prince.
But compared with many powerful people in this era, he is already a rare figure.
Although the strength is not strong now, some qualities can be seen...
This branch of King Jing of Zhongshan is amazing. It has been so long ago. At this time, two extraordinary descendants were born at once...
Tao Qian, who had been paddling and secretly observing the situation in the world for a long time, gradually became more alive.
There was a Queen Jing of Zhongshan in Chang'an, and there was also a Queen Jing of Zhongshan here in Pingyuan.
The performance is somewhat extraordinary.
Since I don't understand, I can't imagine what the Empress Jing of Zhongshan in Chang'an will do or how far she will go in the future. It's better to support another Empress Jing of Zhongshan on my side.
Regardless of whether it can be supported or not, there will be another Han clan clan in the future...
As expected of Tao Qian, who alone formed an alliance to challenge Dong, at this time he actually had the idea of supporting Prince Jing of Zhongshan.
After this idea arose in his mind, Tao Qian felt that his idea was very good. The more he thought about it, the more he thought it could be implemented...
After this idea existed in his mind for two days, Tao Qian asked his wife to summon a woman.
His wife's surname was Gan, and the woman he summoned also had the same surname.
He looks like a teenager.
Just from the last name, it can be seen that there is some relationship between the girl who was called here and his wife.
This girl does have some relationship with Tao Qian's wife. She is from Mrs. Tao Qian's natal family.
They are not direct relatives, they are the kind who have not been out of the fifth server.
A few years ago, when the family couldn't survive, they relied on connections and the whole family came to seek refuge with Tao Qian.
A family is responsible for their duties, but their fate is bad.
After coming to Tao Qian, the family's life did have some security.
It can't be said to be rich, but at least it can guarantee that you won't starve to death.
However, his father and mother fell ill one after another and died after ineffective treatment. The younger brother joined the Mi family's caravan to work.
As a result, one time when he was out, the boat capsized due to wind and waves, and he fell into the lake and drowned.
Since a year ago, she has been the only one left.
Tao Qian's wife, Mrs. Gan, saw that she was well-behaved and sensible, but had a tragic fate, and had something to do with her, so she took her into her residence and raised her as her natal niece.
"I've met my uncle and aunt."
Tao Qian waited here for a short while, and then a young girl came.
The girl is very pretty. She is not tall, but has a good figure, especially her hips are relatively wide. In the eyes of today's people, this is good for fertility.
If you really want to get married, you will be more popular than ordinary people.
There is nothing to say about the appearance. Once you see it, your eyes will brighten up, and the more you look at it, the brighter it becomes.
More importantly, her skin is very delicate and white, really like mutton-fat white jade.
When the girl came here and saw Tao Qian and Mrs. Tao Qian, she bowed down and said so politely.
"No need to be polite."
Tao Qian said.
Then he said: "Lu'er, are you used to living in my house?"
The girl saluted and replied: "My uncle and aunt treat Lu'er as if they were their own daughters..."
Tao Qian was very satisfied with the girl's answer.
He talked to the girl here again about some common things, said that he still had things to do and needed to be busy, and asked the girl to stay with her aunt to talk more, and then left from here.
There are some things that Tao Qian is not suitable to say, so it is more appropriate for his wife to say them.
The girl was also a smart person, and her face turned rosy for a moment when she saw this.
He bowed and sent Tao Qian away.
"...Lu'er, you are not young anymore. When you reach the age of marriage, men should get married first, and women should get married...
If you no longer have parents, your uncles and aunts will be your parents.
My uncle and aunt have always been worried about your marriage.
...Pingyuan County Magistrate Liu Bei and Liu Xuande were also outstanding figures in the world. He was young and promising and had not yet been married.
Pingyuan County is a large county...
He himself is also a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and is the queen of Prince Jing of Zhongshan..."
After Tao Qian left, Mrs. Tao Qian chatted with the girl surnamed Gan for a while, then got down to business and talked about her marriage.
The girl's complexion turned red again, as if a layer of red agate appeared on top of the mutton-fat white jade, which looked extremely moving.
Listening to her aunt talking about Pingyuan County Magistrate Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, another name appeared in the girl's mind, Liu Cheng and Liu Kede!
This person was also a descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan, a clan member of the Han Dynasty, and had a great reputation.
Although she is a woman, she has heard of this man's name.
As for Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, she had never heard of him.
If it had been in the past, according to the conditions that his aunt had given him, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande would indeed have been an extremely rare figure.
However, compared with Uncle Liu Huang, he was far behind.
Sure enough, this person will die if he compares with others, and he will throw away goods if he compares them with others.
"Lu'er has no parents, only her uncle and aunt.
Her uncle and aunt treat Lu'er as if they were their own daughters, and Lu'er also regards her uncle and aunt as her biological parents.
All marriage matters are decided by my uncle and aunt."
The girl suppressed some shyness in her heart, bowed respectfully to Mrs. Tao Qian, said this, and agreed to the marriage in one fell swoop.
Even if the first names that appeared in her mind were Liu Huangshu, Liu Cheng and Liu Kede, it did not prevent her from accepting this matter.
She is a smart woman. From the moment my uncle saw her today, he knew that in fact, he had already decided on this matter in his heart.
Her opinion is not important.
Asking my aunt to ask me is just a symbolic inquiry. She is telling myself this matter, not really asking for my opinion.
If I happily agreed, everything would be fine. If I didn't know the importance of the decision and refused, it would be really bad.
It has become shameless...
The poor life since childhood, as well as the dependence and helplessness now, made her understand the accidents of human relationships very well.
You know, many things are not free.
If you peel off the outer layer of many things in this world, you will find that what is left inside is just an exchange of interests.
When others treat you well and give you something, you need to repay them with kindness when necessary.
In this way, the relationship will be long-lasting and warm.
You only want to ask for things, but don’t think about anything in return. It’s okay for a short time, but over time, everyone will dislike you...
After hearing the girl's answer, Mrs. Tao Qian's face suddenly showed a more kind light.
She took the girl's hand and said: "Your uncle and I have no adopted daughter, so we really treat you as our own daughter.
Your uncle has a somewhat stubborn temper, but he has an excellent eye for looking at people.
He is so optimistic about Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, and Liu Xuande will definitely be good.
After you get married, you will never be wronged.
What's more, your uncle is here to support me and you..."
After talking like this for a while, Mrs. Tao Qian began to praise Liu Xuande with the girl again.
I continued to praise him for a long time without any emphasis.
I said a lot of good things about Liu Xuande, but there was one thing I didn't say to the girl.
That was Liu Xuande who was shot and lost an egg by Liu Kede in the previous battle...
"Husband, Liu Xuande is missing one...
Is there really no impact in the future?”
At night, Mrs. Tao Qian leaned against Tao Qian, who was sweating a little, and asked like this.
With a little worry.
She is a woman who has experienced the age of being like a wolf and a tiger that can absorb dirt. She knows that if there is really a problem here, the life after getting married will be really difficult.
Tao Qian wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "I asked some doctors to ask, some said it has an impact, some said it has no impact, and some said that although it has some impact, continuing the family line is still not a problem..."
"This...if this really doesn't work, wouldn't it mean that Lu'er's child will suffer?"
Mrs. Tao Qian hesitated and said, seemingly unable to bear it.
"There is no problem with the dues. It's just that one is missing, not all of them are missing..."
Tao Qian comforted him.
Then he added: "Even if it is true, if this child Lu'er gets married, she can guarantee that she will have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life.
The status is not too low. This is a good thing that ordinary people cannot ask for.
Compared with these, the rest are small things.”
"well……"
Mrs. Tao Qian did not speak when she heard this, but sighed.
Tao Qian said: "We are worthy of Lu'er. In the past, this was a good match that she could not reach even if she wanted to.
Moreover, except for this shortcoming, Liu Xuande has no problems in other aspects, and can even be said to be excellent.
Otherwise, according to my temper, I wouldn’t do this.”
Mrs. Tao Qian nodded after hearing this, but still did not speak, not very happy...
…
Tao Qian acted very quickly.
On the second day after Ganlu nodded in agreement, he sent someone to deliver a letter to Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Ji Bei, and asked Bao Xin, the Prime Minister of Ji Bei, to be the matchmaker and pull the strings.
He has a good relationship with Bao Xin, and he knows that Bao Xin, the prime minister of Jibei Province, respects and values Liu Xuande, so he plans to let him act as a matchmaker...
"Xuande's marriage is here, and it really can't be stopped!
Tao Gongzu was even willing to marry his niece to Xuande.
It can be seen that my vision was not bad before.
It’s about judging people.”
After receiving the letter, Bao Xin read it and said this.
After thinking about it, I decided to go to Pingyuan County in person to meet Liu Xuande and talk about this matter...
When Liu Bei learned that Bao Xin was coming, he was very happy and solemn. He took Guan Yu, Jian Yong and other officials to greet him thirty miles away.
Bao Xin appreciated Liu Bei, and Liu Bei also had a good impression of Bao Xin.
In addition to these, there is another reason that Bao Xin's Jibei country is very close to his Pingyuan County.
Moreover, Bao Xin, Prime Minister of Jibei Province, has been famous for a long time.
It has a high prestige in Yanzhou.
It can be said that he is no less than Gongsun Zan in western Liaoning.
"Xuande, you are not young at this age. It is time for you to marry a wife. Do you have any ideas or a woman you like?
If so, I can go and talk to you."
After some small talk, Bao Xin looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile.
When Guan Yu, Jian Yong and others nearby heard this, they all felt strange in their hearts and looked unnatural on their faces.
Liu Bei said calmly: "Now that the world is like this, how can you think about starting a family?"
Bao Xin said: "Could it be that Xuande also wants to learn from Huo Qiaoqi? The Huns are not destroyed, so why should we call home?"
It's not necessary.
There is no conflict between starting a family and starting a career.
Who says you can’t start a family just by starting a career?
The two complement each other.
After you get married, you will have a heel and a good wife, and you will get twice the result with half the effort when doing things..."
From the moment Bao Xin opened his mouth, Liu Bei knew what Bao Xin wanted to do.
Seeing Bao Xin's sincerity, he immediately said: "Even if I have the idea of starting a family, it is difficult to find a good wife. I don't know if Yun Chenggong has any good marriage arrangements..."
When Bao Xin heard this, he immediately smiled: "Xuande's question is a good one, but coincidentally there is one here.
She is the niece of Mu Tao Gongzu of Xuzhou. She is only 28 years old. She stays at home and has never married.
Tao Xuzhou deliberately wanted to marry Xuande during the Qin and Jin Dynasties, so he asked his brother to be a matchmaker..."
When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.
When Bao Xin came to be a matchmaker in person, he had some guesses about the woman and knew that she must have an unusual identity.
At this time, when he heard Bao Xin reveal the woman's identity, he couldn't help but be stunned. This woman's identity is not only not simple!
She turned out to be Tao Gongzu’s niece.
"With all your virtues and talents, you can actually be loved by Tao Xuzhou?
I really don’t dare to take it seriously.”
Liu Bei saluted Bao Xin and declined.
Bao Xin smiled and said, "Xuan De should not underestimate yourself. I know your abilities. My niece Tao Xuzhou and you are a perfect match."
Liu Bei gave a wry smile and said: "Granny Yun Cheng also knows about my situation. I was shot by the thief Liu Cheng. Although it has no impact, it will not sound good if I tell it out.
If we really decide on this marriage, it will inevitably bring some criticism to Mr. Tao..."
When Bao Xin heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger: "Tao Xuzhou, is he the kind of person who cares about worldly thoughts?"
…
"Hahaha, okay!"
After Tao Qian received Bao Xin's reply, he couldn't help but laugh.
Then he took the letter and went to his wife: "Yuncheng has already replied to my letter. He went to see Liu Xuande in person and confirmed that Liu Xuande is fine. He is just missing one kidney pill and the rest is not affected."
Mrs. Tao Qian breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and a smile appeared on her face.
"That's good, that's good. That makes me feel relieved. I'm not pushing Lu'er into the fire pit..."
Liu Bei's marriage was decided.
The date of the wedding was quickly decided, it was the twentieth of the twelfth lunar month.
Originally, according to Tao Qian's temper, he wanted to directly set it on November 20th, the same day as Uncle Liu Cheng and Emperor Liu.
It's just that it took a lot of time to talk to matchmakers and connect people. On November 20th, I couldn't make it in time.
In the end, the only option was to set the engagement date as November 20th and the wedding date as December 20th...
People are in high spirits when happy events happen, and Liu Bei, whose marriage was settled, was in a good mood for several days.
The reason why his elder brother Gongsun Zan was able to rise from a humble background and achieve such great achievements was directly related to being appreciated by the eunuch and marrying the eunuch's daughter.
Liu Cheng's current status as a traitor has a lot to do with his previous marriage to Dong Zhuo's granddaughter.
Now, he is going to marry Tao Xuzhou’s niece!
Although she is not a biological daughter, at this time, the meaning she represents is not much different!
The time has finally come for me!
…
"Liu Biao, Yuan Shu sent someone to congratulate Kede and Nannan on their marriage?"
Dong Zhuo smiled and repeated.
"Father-in-law, will you allow these people to come and participate? These people are afraid that they have bad intentions and are not innocent."
Li Ru asked.
Dong Zhuo smiled and said: "We are guests here. They dare to come with gifts to congratulate them. How can I, Dong Zhuo, not dare to welcome them?"
Wouldn't it make people laugh if you said it?
Inform the gatekeepers and ask them to just let people in!
I, Dong Zhuo, want to see if these people can cause trouble!"
