Three Kingdoms: I choose Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao, why are you crying, Diao Chan?

Chapter 156 How could I have such evil intentions? (Thanks to Zijin Watermelon for the two monthly tickets~)
After hearing the reports from Chen Gong, Chen Deng and Bu Zhi, Lu Bu couldn't stop smiling:
"You three really lived up to expectations and successfully persuaded the three county governors. Each of you will be credited with a great achievement!"

Persuading these three counties to surrender directly is equivalent to saving the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and countless food and supplies!
This made him happier than winning three battles!

Attacking the alliances is indeed much better than attacking the enemy militarily!
In the future, try not to use military force when things can be resolved through strategy and diplomacy.

Chen Gong looked at the smiling Lu Bu, stepped forward and told him what happened between him and Huang Zhong.

After hearing what Chen Gong said, Lu Bu was not surprised:
"After all, he is a capable and old hero, how can he not have a temper?

"Well, after I pack up, I will take a small group of people to Changsha to meet the other party in person.

“This time, I must let this old general join my army!

"Gongtai did a good job in the end. The old general couldn't be tough with him. Instead, it would be easier to impress him by being soft.

"Without him, the best I could do was to take over Jingzhou... I believe this sentence is enough to praise him."

At this time, Chen Deng also stepped forward and told Lu Bu what had happened between him, Liu Du and Liu Xian.

When Lu Bu heard that Liu Xian might have poisoned his father, causing Liu Du to become unwell, his face suddenly darkened.

Even a poisonous tiger will not eat its own cubs, but a poisonous son will bite his father?
Not to mention in ancient times when filial piety was valued, even in modern times, this is an act of treason!
After all, everyone's life is given by their parents.

How can you harm your parents for your own selfish desires when they have not done anything wrong to you?
After taking Lingling and investigating the situation thoroughly, he will have someone secretly deal with Liu Xian!

Such people can even harm their own flesh and blood relatives.

He, the lord who has no blood relationship with him, might be stabbed in the back one day!
Your lack of ability is a small matter, but you cannot be immoral and sit in such a high position as a county governor!

After Chen Deng finished his report, Bu Zhi also told Lu Bu what he had encountered.

When he heard that Wen Pin liked Zhao Fan's sister-in-law Fan, but Fan favored Bu Zhi.

Lu Bu couldn't help but complain in his heart:
Is this the legendary love triangle?
I didn't expect to see it in this era.

However, when he heard that Bu Zhi was determined not to marry Fan for the sake of Wen Pin and expressed his intention to give Fan to himself, Lu Bu subconsciously rejected him.

Now Huang Yueying is still pregnant, and there is the gentle and gullible Cai Wenji waiting for him to marry.

Now suddenly someone from the Fan family has come. No matter how beautiful she is, it is not appropriate to accept her as your wife at this time.

Since neither Bu Zhi nor Wen Pin can be married, it would be better to marry her to other trusted generals.

After much thought, Lu Bu finally thought of the future Liao god, Zhang Liao!

Zhang Liao is now 26 years old and has never married.

In this era, he is already considered a bachelor.

Moreover, he is not only strong and healthy, but also quite handsome. He will definitely not let down Ms. Fan.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu immediately ordered people to go to Runan to invite Zhang Liao back, and prepare to take him to the southern part of Jingzhou.

After everyone else had left, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu:
"Now that the three counties have all submitted, Jin Xuan from Wuling County should have also received the news..."

When Jin Xuan was mentioned, a hint of anger appeared on Lu Bu's face.

This guy could have sent anyone else, but he chose to send an ugly guy with low EQ as a messenger.

You're really asking for trouble.

Of course, no matter who the other party sends to propose marriage, I will never agree.

But rejecting a marriage proposal is not a big deal, other things can still be discussed.

Obviously, there is no way to resolve this situation peacefully. Who knows how Gong Zhi will exaggerate things when he returns...

"If Jin Xuan can't unite with the other three counties, then there are only two options left.

"One is to gather troops in Linyuan City, the seat of government, and defend the city against our army.

"The other option is to go west and join Liu Yan..."

When Lu Bu heard Chen Gong mention Liu Yan, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sneered.

A hint of doubt flashed across Chen Gong's eyes:
"My lord, why are you laughing? If Jin Xuan really surrenders to Liu Yan, Liu Yan will definitely send troops to help Jin Xuan.

"Then it will no longer be a struggle within Jingzhou, but a war between our army and Liu Yan's army!" Lu Bu smiled and shook his head:
"There's no need to worry about Liu Yan. That guy with evil intentions will most likely not survive this year.

"He may be seriously ill in bed now, but no news has been spread yet.

"They must be in chaos right now. How can they care about the affairs of Jingzhou and become enemies with me, Lu Bu?"

It is not certain whether Tao Qian will die this year.

After all, in history, Tao Qian died of excessive worry after slaughtering the people after being defeated by Cao Cao.

Now that Xuzhou is defended by Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, if Tao Qian is not exhausted physically and mentally, he may be able to live a few more years.

But there is no need to doubt Liu Yan too much.

The other party died of a back sore, and no one had changed the situation in Yizhou.

Without affecting the course of history, Liu Yan will most likely die this year according to the course of history.

However, Lu Bu did not dare to guarantee that this would happen.

After all, Liu Yan's death was not only due to a back sore, but also due to excessive grief over the deaths of his two sons.

But now Ma Teng, Li Jue and Guo Si had all been subdued by Liu Xie without any struggle.

Liu Yan's two sons might not have died, Liu Yan would not have been overly sad, and he would not have necessarily died this year.

So facing Chen Gong's questioning look, Lu Bu could only say:
“I will send some spies to Yizhou to investigate the situation.

“And monitor whether the Zangke and Ba counties in Yizhou will send troops to Wuling.

“If no troops are sent, it means that Liu Yan’s current situation is very bad.

“If we send out troops, we will have to think about this matter in the long run.

“During this time, I will take over the other three counties first, and then try to persuade Jin Xuan.

"If it doesn't work, we can use our troops against Wuling."

After listening to Lu Bu's plan, Chen Gong also understood the other party's strategic intentions. He immediately bowed and had nothing to add.

After waiting for a few days, as soon as Zhang Liao arrived, Lu Bu took him, Wei Yan and two hundred soldiers and headed straight to Changsha.

……

Changsha, You County.

After the last fight with Wei Yan and what Chen Gong said before leaving, Huang Zhong had been depressed for several days.

In fact, he knew clearly whether Liu Biao was a good person or not.

Liu Biao might not have done a very good job in getting many people to join him during the turbulent times, but at least he did not harm the people.

In fact, many princes were doing things like amassing wealth and buying official positions, and it was not considered a very bad thing.

But this level is already very good in this chaotic world.

As for the rule of Lu Bu that Chen Gong boasted about, was it really as good as he said?
However, since he could have a brave general like Wei Yan working for him, I think Lu Bu should not be as bad as the previous rumors said.

And recently he also defeated the powerful Cao Cao.

If it were Liu Biao, he probably wouldn't be able to do it to this extent.

Maybe this Lu Bu really has his good points.

Anyway, he planned to resign from his post and go to Yuzhou to look for Liu Xuande as soon as Lu Bu's army arrived.

When you pass by Lu Bu’s army, you can also take a look.

Just as he was thinking about his future plans, his soldiers suddenly reported:
"General Huang, there are three people visiting us from outside the city!

"One of them... is the man who fought against the general last time!"
