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

Chapter 372 Gao Shun gets married! (Thanks to the monthly ticket support from book friend 2024…5286~)

On this day, Lu Bu was watching his wives and concubines making clothes with the Shu brocade he brought back.

Suddenly Dong Bai came to report that Gao Shun and Yang Yun came to see him.

Lu Bu touched the stubble on his chin, a smile of surprise appeared in his eyes:

"I never thought that the thousand-year-old iron tree would bloom on its own!"

Lu Bu immediately stood up and went to the front yard, where he saw Gao Shun having an intimate conversation with Yang Yun.

Looking at the two of them showing affection from afar, Lu Bu knew that he was right.

When he came in front of the two men, Gao Shun quickly suppressed the smile on his face and respectfully clasped his fists towards Lu Bu:

"Mr. Chu!"

Yang Yun also hurriedly bowed to Lu Bu:

"My humble concubine greets Lord Chu."

Lu Bu looked at Yang Yun, then at Gao Shun, and said with a smile:
"If my guess is correct, you two came to see me for a happy event, right?"

Seeing that Lu Bu had revealed the truth, Gao Shun's old face turned red, and Yang Yun also lowered her head shyly.

However, Gao Shun still raised his lips and showed an expectant smile:

"Mr. Chu's guess is correct. Father Xiao begs Mr. Chu to be a witness to Yang Yun and I's wedding!"

Hearing his most trusted general making a request to him for the first time, Lu Bu laughed out loud:
"How can being just a witness be enough? Father Xiao is the person I trust the most, and he is also the second in command of my army.

"With your status, I will personally hold the wedding for you!"

Gao Shun suddenly raised his head and looked at Lu Bu with a look of surprise:

"This... How can you have the nerve to trouble Lord Chu about your father's personal affairs?"

Lu Bu deliberately frowned and said:

"It's your own business? Does your father treat me as an outsider?"

Gao Shun waved his hands in fear:

"How could it be! Xiaofu treats Lord Chu as his own brother!"

Seeing Gao Shun's nervous face, Lu Bu laughed out loud:
"Alright, alright, I was just kidding you. Your marriage is up to me!
"I will make sure you marry Madam Yang in style!"

Hearing this, Gao Shun turned his head and looked at Yang Yun, and Yang Yun nodded slightly at Gao Shun.

Gao Shun then said to Lu Bu:
"Mr. Chu, I don't want you to spend lavishly on my wedding.

“And like Madam Yang, I don’t really like big, noisy scenes.

“At that time, we will call some brothers who are close to us.

"We can all get together to have a meal and drink some wine, and hold a simple ceremony."

Hearing Gao Shun say this, Lu Bu knew that the other party was always serious and probably didn't like scenes with a lot of people.

It is really tiring to have to curry favor with many relatives and friends whom I don’t know.

Lu Bu nodded and agreed:

"In this case, I will write a letter to ask Wenyuan, Wenchang and others to come back to attend your wedding.

"Let's find a good day next month and get it done!"

Gao Shun clasped his fists and bowed: "Thank you, Lord Chu!"

In the following month, Lu Bu called back Zhang Liao, Wei Yan and other generals and advisers who had a good relationship with Gao Shun.

Afterwards, he personally held a wedding for Gao Shun and Yang Yun on an auspicious day.

Although the wedding banquet was not grand, the guests invited were all Lu Bu's confidants, who also had a good relationship with Gao Shun.

They toasted each other, laughed and joked, and the atmosphere was quite lively.

Gao Shun, who had never drunk alcohol before, not only drank the wedding wine, but also drank heavily with his brothers, which was rare.

As it turned out, Gao Shun was not a good drinker.

In addition, since he didn't drink often, his tolerance for alcohol was not high, and he was drunk in a short time. After getting drunk, Gao Shun, who usually spoke little, couldn't help but say a few more words to everyone:

"You say...hiccup, now that Lord Chu has taken over half of the country, can he be crowned king or emperor?"

As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.

Lu Bu took this opportunity to check the changes in the expressions of his subordinates.

Zhang Hong, who was in charge of encouraging learning, was the first to say:

"My lord's achievements are comparable to those of the former King of Western Chu.

"However, the world is not yet unified, and there are still powerful enemies in the north.

"If you rashly declare yourself king or emperor, it would be against the law.

“We, the close ministers, can naturally accept it.

“But subordinates who are not loyal enough to the lord, or even enemies and people in other spheres of influence, will not acknowledge the lord.

"If the enemy's army and civilians unite to resist us, it will be detrimental to the subsequent unification.

"In my opinion, when you have conquered the world, unified the north, and become invincible, then you can become king and emperor, and there will be no obstacles!"

What Zhang Hong said made sense to Lu Bu.

However, Gao Shun snorted coldly:
"Our lord has blessed the whole world with his power and prestige. The people in the north are just a bunch of scoundrels. How can they be our lord's opponents?

"As for those ignorant people, they have never experienced a truly happy life.

"If they knew what it was like to live in Lord Chu's territory, they would have come to us long ago!"

Seeing Gao Shun talking non-stop, Lu Bu suddenly held his shoulder and said with a smile:
"Okay, okay, today is your big day, stop bragging for me.

"Mrs. Yang is still waiting for you in the room, go quickly!"

Gao Shun stood there, and even though he was drunk, he still understood the implication of Lu Bu's words.

He closed his eyes, calmed down, and then nodded slightly to Lu Bu:

"I'll be there right away."

Looking at Gao Shun's departing back, Lu Bu also breathed a sigh of relief.

This guy found a nice wife.

Although it is not a first-hand product, only a woman who has experienced many ups and downs knows better how to live life.

Lu Bu looked at everyone who had almost finished drinking, and told everyone to go back home and find their mothers.

From Zhang Hong's words just now, it can be seen that he does not agree with becoming king or emperor right now.

Even the close ministers think so, let alone those with ordinary relationships.

Therefore, even though he already owned lands covering nearly four states, he was still the most powerful prince in the world.

But he will not be as arrogant as those ambitious people in history.

The throne or emperor is just a title. He should still enjoy the same rights as he does now.

It won’t be too late to become king or emperor after defeating Liu Xie and Liu Bei, or when the time is ripe!
a few days later.

All the generals and counselors who came to attend the wedding also returned to their own bases.

Lu Bu gave Gao Shun a week's vacation so that he could spend more time with Yang Yun and young Deng Ai.

After all, he is a family man now, and he can no longer fight to the death in the future.

That day, Lu Bu was handling official business when Gu Yong, a county official, suddenly came to report in a hurry:
"My Lord, urgent news has arrived from Guangling County! The local tyrant Zuo Rong has come into conflict with the governor Zhang Chao because of his forceful promotion of Buddhism.

"Zuo Rong used a trick to kill Zhang Chao, and then led tens of thousands of Buddhist believers to occupy Guangling City, the seat of Guangling County!"

After listening to Gu Yong's report, Lu Bu's heart was filled with waves.

He had thought that something unexpected might happen to Zhang Chao while he was guarding the border, but he didn't expect that the accident would come from that cruel monk!

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and immediately decided to send troops to attack!
