Reconciliation with Lu Bu is only a temporary expedient. Everyone knows this.
After Gan Ning agreed, Li Yuguo secretly brought some valuable gifts and rode a red rabbit horse towards Xuzhou City. He only took a young general named Zhao Yun with him.
Gao Shun, who was on the wall of Xuzhou, said: "Commander, brother, are we going to let Li Huguo come over?"
"He is here to take the young lady back, so that's fine. The female university is not a good place to stay. Qiling has lost a lot of weight these days at home." Lu Bu sighed.
"No, I killed their Su Fei. There was a man named Gan Xingba. This man hated me very much. If we reconcile with them, what will they do to us when the time comes?" Gao Shun was very worried. Said worriedly.
Chen Gong interrupted and said: "General Gao, actually this is a good thing... One thing you should know is that Liu Xuande, who stole Xuzhou in the first place, has defected to Cao Mengde, and will Cao Mengde let go of Xuzhou? Even if he does, Liu Bei will Are you going to let it go easily? So don’t look at Cao Mengde, us, and Zhang Lu now attacking Jingzhou, there is a shocking conspiracy hidden in it!"
"Oh? I'd like to hear the details." Gao Shun said.
Chen Gong said: "The existence of Jingzhou is actually very beneficial to us. It is like a barrier. You said Cao Mengde has unified the north now. What is his next step?"
"Either station troops or continue fighting." Gao Shun said.
"Yes, but where is he going to hit?" Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and said.
"This..." Gao Shun couldn't say anything.
Lu Bu said: "Jingzhou is equivalent to a wall, which actually separates our sphere of influence from Cao Mengde. If Jingzhou is divided, although we can get temporary benefits, we will also be directly contacted by Cao Mengde's territory. This is a Bad news, because Cao Mengde can attack us at any time, and we will be unable to defend against him."
"The last time we attacked Jingzhou with Yuan Shu, I also discussed with the military advisor at that time that Xuzhou was occupied at that time. We could also attack Jiangxia in one go. Although the loss would be greater, Mr. Chen blocked me at that time." Lu Bu looked at Gao Shun.
Gao Shun frowned: "Why?"
"Because when we capture Jiangxia, we have to face Cao Mengde directly. There is no need for us to contact such a powerful enemy. If we go back to Xuzhou, we can continue to seek development, build troops and build fields, and raise troops to prepare for battle. My son-in-law will come over then. , you just return all the blame to Yuan Shu, since Yuan Shu is already dead anyway, he has died a hundred times, so there is no need to take the blame for us." Lu Bu said.
"Everyone in the world says that my eldest brother is brave but has no plans. Now I see that my eldest brother has no plans. I am afraid that he is not as thoughtful as those wise men." Gao Shun said, and he also admired Lu Bu very much.
Lu Bu laughed heartily and said: "The big-eared thief has now formed a rift with me, so he will definitely not let me go, and I will not let him go. Since he and Cao Mengde are very close, even if Cao Mengde If you cooperate with me temporarily, how can you ensure that he will not be unfavorable to me in the future? However, my son-in-law is different. He sincerely takes my daughter home. He and I used to be brothers, but now we are son-in-law. We are like father and son. , is there any stronger relationship in the world than that between father and son?"
Zhang Liao next to him wanted to laugh, and he said to himself: "Brother, you wanted to get involved in Jingzhou a while ago, but now you are saying it nicely. Your son-in-law doesn't really come here, so why didn't he come before and come here now? We are not facing a strong enemy. We have no choice but to come here." Don’t you want to cooperate with us? Brother, you just care too much about face..."
Zhang Liao thought for a while, but still didn't directly break Lu Bu's smile.
Here Li Yuguo and Zhao Yun drove a carriage to the gate of Xuzhou City. Li Yuguo dismounted and bowed: "My son-in-law, Li Bolong, pays homage to my father-in-law!"
"Come on, come on, open the city gate!" Lu Bu was overjoyed and immediately ordered around.
Chen Gong said with a smile: "This kid is good at doing things. He has a young general with him and no troops. This also shows his sincerity."
"Otherwise, how could he be attracted by the eldest lady?" Gao Shun next to him was also happy.
Lu Bu personally came down from the tower to greet Li Yuguo. The two shook hands and made friends, as if they were relatives they hadn't seen for many years. Little did they know that half a year ago, the two of them were fighting to the death.
Li Huguo said: "My son-in-law is late. There are many things going on in Jingzhou recently. I am really sorry that I couldn't come over to visit my father-in-law in time!"
"It's okay, it's okay. I know that my dear son-in-law, you are the lord of Jingzhou and you are troubled by everything. There is nothing you can do about it. Come in quickly..." Lu Bu was very enthusiastic, and he was very happy when he saw the products of Jingzhou brought by Li Hugo.
This cart of goods is not cheap. There is gold, silver, and silk and satin, which are the best products of Jingzhou. What concerns Lu Bu the most is that there are also ten jars of fine wines from Jingzhou.
These things were all to Lu Bu's taste. Lu Bu immediately ordered people to prepare a banquet and selected many dancers to sing and dance. For a while, the hall was extremely lively. Lu Bu said: "This is your new mother-in-law. She will be Tian Yu." , this woman is the sister of Tian Feng, Yuan Shao’s counselor.”
"Greetings to my mother-in-law." Li Huguo said, cupping his fists.
Tian Yu is also very decent, and you can tell at a glance that he comes from a lady's background. How could a great hero like Lu Bu not have a woman by his side? Therefore, Li Yuguo was not surprised that there was an extra Tian Yu.
There were many delicacies on the table, as well as music and fine wine, which also whetted Li Yuguo's appetite. Before he knew it, he had drunk three rounds and had five dishes. Li Yuguo felt full and said directly: "My son-in-law and my father-in-law were here before." There was some misunderstanding between them, and Qiling was implicated, so I came here to apologize this time."
"It's okay, it's okay. I also know what my daughter's temper is like. She has been wielding swords and swords since she was a child. She is like a tomboy. Now that she is married, I thought she would be more restrained, but now she has become even worse. It really pisses me off. Yea!" Lu Bu said pretending to be angry.
Before Li Yuguo came, he had actually sorted out Xun Yu's relics. Among Xun Yu's relics, Li Yuguo learned one thing, that is, Xun Yu had intercepted all the letters written by Lu Qiling. The reason was that Li Huguo concentrated on managing Jingzhou. Although it was a bit excessive, Li Huguo did not blame Xun Yu.
After all, the dead are the most important.
Xun Yu's death was a huge blow to Li Yugo. He was loyal to him, but he died in such a tragic way. Li Hugo felt sorry for him.
Not long after, Lu Qiling came. Lu Qiling saw Li Yuguo, and Li Huguo saw this former pillow person, and his heart softened, because Lu Qiling lost a whole circle.
"Ms. Gong..." Lu Qiling said a word, but she already burst into tears.
