Yuan Tan naturally knew Lu Bu's intentions.

He just wanted to use his hand to retrieve his wife and daughter who fell into Liu Bei's hands.

As for offering her daughter to him as a concubine, she naturally wanted to get closer to him through marriage, so that she could hug him tightly, the eldest son of the Yuan family.

This also plays into Yuan Tan's heart.

The Ruying faction under his command has many counselors like Guo Tu, but what they lack are generals who can take the lead.

Unlike the Hebei faction that supported Yuan Shang, in addition to counselors like Jushou Shenpei, there were also powerful generals like Yan Liang, Wen Chou, and even Zhang He.

Lu Bu's coming to join him was a timely help for him, making up for his shortcomings in generals.

That's why he gave Lu Bu all kinds of heavy rewards and all kinds of favors.

Taking Nalu Bu's daughter as a concubine is an excellent way to win over Lu Bu.

What's more, when Lu Bu first sought refuge with the Yuan family, he had seen Lu Lingqi. She was truly beautiful and could be called a beauty.

It would be a pleasure to take such a beautiful woman as a concubine, both for public and private purposes...

With this in mind.

Yuan Tan said without thinking:

"How could I deny such a small request?"

"Don't worry, I will tell the envoy to go to Shouchun to ask Liu Dal'er for his wife and your daughter."

Lü Bu was overjoyed and hurriedly paid his respects to Yuan Tan again.

At that time, Yuan Tan sent the envoy Xun Chen to Shouchun again to use bargaining to paralyze Liu Bei and get back Lü Bu's wife and daughter. After the envoy was sent, Yuan Tan worked hard to prepare for Make preparations for going south with troops

The whole city was decorated with lanterns and streamers.

A grand concubine banquet is being held in the military advisor's mansion.

The Military Advisor's Mansion was full of dignitaries and guests.

Not only Liu Jun's civil servants and generals, but also wealthy families from Shouchun City and nearby areas also came to congratulate him with generous gifts.

As an envoy, Xun Chen also drove to the Military Advisor's Mansion at Liu Bei's invitation to attend the banquet.

"It was just a concubine banquet, but Liu Bei organized it with such great fanfare for Deng Mu"

"It seems that Liu Bei has a lot of love for him as a military advisor..."

Xun Chen looked at the colorful decorations all over the city and murmured with emotion.

But immediately, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Shouchun was first decided, and the Yuan family's army He was still watching in Xuzhou.

Liu Bei was still in the mood, so he went to war here and prepared a concubine ceremony for Deng Mu.

What does this mean?

It means that Liu Bei is slacking off and believes that Yuan Tan will only talk to him. They will definitely not really send troops south to capture Huainan.

Isn't this exactly what Yuan Tan wants to see?

"Okay, Liu Bei, the concubine banquet you hosted for Deng Mu was well done!"

Xun Chen smiled coldly and summoned his close followers to come closer.

"You rushed back to Xiapi at night, and reported Liu Bei's carelessness and lack of precautions to the eldest son."

"Tell the eldest son to be ready. As soon as I return to Xiapi, I can immediately send troops south to raid Huainan!"

The confidants followed the order and left.

After sending away the confidants, the carriage also arrived at the Military Advisor's Mansion.

Xun Chen straightened his clothes, showed the air of an angel from the kingdom, and got out of the carriage with his head held high.

As soon as he landed, his brows furrowed..

He originally thought that as the envoys of the Yuan family, Liu Bei and Deng Mu would come to greet him in person, but unexpectedly, no one was seen at the door.

Xun Chen felt that he had been slighted, and his face suddenly showed displeasure.

After being forced to feel unhappy, he had to Under the leadership of the soldiers, the unhappy military advisor's mansion

"Xun's envoy Shanshan arrived late and missed the official ceremony."

"But as for the wedding wine, I left a cup for Ambassador Xun."

In the palace.

Liu Bei did not stand up to greet him, but just motioned for him to be seated with wine.

This attitude was obviously much colder than that of his previous mission.

Xun Chen's brows were condensed deeper, and he felt more and more unsatisfied. Yue.

Originally he wanted to say a few polite words, but in view of Liu Bei's"slowness", Xun Chen was too lazy to be polite and simply got straight to the point.

"There’s no need to drink this wine as an official. Let’s talk about business."

"I came here this time on the orders of my eldest son to convey two things to Ambassador Liu."

"First, Huainan is the inheritance of Yuan Shu and can only be owned by my Yuan family. There is absolutely no room for bargaining."

"However, my eldest son has always been generous. He can extend the deadline for General Liu to withdraw from Huainan for another fifteen days."

"The second thing is that my eldest son heard that Lu Bu’s wife and daughter fell into the hands of General Liu."

"My eldest son intends to take Lu Bu's daughter as a concubine, so he specifically told his subordinates that when he returns to Xiapi this time, he must bring them back together, mother and daughter."

"I have conveyed the eldest son's words, please ask General Liu to do it as soon as possible."

Xun Chen's tone was full of arrogance, as if he was not bargaining, but directly reading out Yuan Tan's order.

Huang Zhong, Taishi Ci and other generals were all annoyed by Xun Chen's arrogance, and they all secretly clenched their fists.

But Liu Bei Not angry or annoyed, just regretful and said:

"Ambassador Xun took a step late. Lu Bu's daughter had been taken as a concubine by our military advisor."

"The wedding wine we are drinking tonight is the wedding wine for both of them."

As soon as these words came out,

Xun Chen's expression suddenly changed.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that the concubine Deng Mu had taken was actually Lu Lingqi!

The woman that their eldest son, Yuan, wanted, was actually beaten to death by Deng Mu!

Xun Chen suddenly realized He was so angry that he opened his mouth and was about to explode.

When the words came to his mouth, he suddenly realized and swallowed them back. The deal is done!

Deng Mu accepted it all, and the uncooked rice has been cooked into cooked rice. How can you still stop it? ?

"If that's the case, let's forget about it"

"Let’s talk about the first thing. My eldest son has been generous and granted an extension of fifteen days. General Liu, when do you plan to withdraw from Huainan?"

Liu Bei drank a glass of wine and suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter was full of irony.

Xun Chen was stunned for a moment. Looking at Liu Bei who was laughing suddenly, he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable chill behind him.

The laughter suddenly stopped. Stop.

The gentle expression on Liu Bei's face has disappeared.

Instead, there is cold anger.

"I defeated Huainan with one sword and one shot, sacrificing countless soldiers and using blood."

"Does that bitch Yuan Tan think that by relying on Yuan Shao's prestige and threatening me with a few words, I will be frightened and obediently give up Huainan to him?"

"He underestimated me, Liu Bei, too."

"Do you think that I, Liu Bei, am still the magistrate of Pingyuan County who allowed them to despise and humiliate me?"

Liu Bei slammed the wine glass in his hand on the table. Hearing that domineering momentum and sharp words like a knife, Xun Chen's expression became stern.

"you you you——"

Xun Chen's voice trembled, and he was so shocked and angry that he didn't even dare to speak out.

That look of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the man in front of him was Liu Bei. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Is this the grassroots descendant of the Liu family who weaves mats and sells shoes and comes from a humble background?

Is this still the little county magistrate who doesn't even have a seat when the princes are asking for help?

"`Xunchen!"

A solemn voice sounded behind him.

Xun Chen was shocked and looked back.

In his field of vision, he saw a handsome young man in groom's clothes coming with his hands behind his back.

"Deng...Deng Mu?"

Xun Chen's expression changed again, and he blurted out the name.

Deng Mu came to him slowly, with a solemn gaze like a blade, looking directly at his shocked and panicked face.

"Go back and tell Yuan Tan!"

"Not only will my lord not give up Huainan, he will also send his troops north to regain Xuzhou and capture Qingzhou!"

"He will also drink the Yellow River and drive you Yuan family father and son back to Hebei!"

Deng Mu used domineering and heroic words to declare war on the Yuan family for Lao Liu!

Xun Chen shuddered hard and suddenly realized

"Fell into a trap!"[]

This idea suddenly popped into Xun Chen's mind.

Liu Bei was never afraid of Yuan Tan from beginning to end.

I never thought of bargaining with you, Yuan Tan, over the ownership of Huainan.

Not only did Liu Bei not intend to surrender to Huainan, he was even so arrogant as to declare war on the Yuan family and preemptively attack Xuzhou!

Everything he did before was just a deliberate show of weakness so that Yuan Tan could become careless and use it as a cover for a surprise attack on Xuzhou.

Even Deng Mu’s concubine banquet today was just a cover-up.

"Deng Mu, is this your plan?"

"Have you been playing tricks on my eldest son from the beginning?"

Xun Chen finally woke up and shouted at Deng Mu angrily.

Deng Mu sneered and said nothing.

Xun Chen took a breath and looked at the young counselor in front of him up and down again.

At this moment, he finally experienced for himself that Deng Mu ghost The various legends about divine calculations are by no means exaggerated.

This Deng Mu actually played all of them like clowns!

The deceitfulness of his methods made him feel shuddering.

After regaining his composure, Xun Chen suppressed his horror and turned his head. He shouted at Liu Bei and said:

"Our lord is the strongest overlord in the world. We are about to conquer Cao Cao and unify the north."

"Liu Bei, where does your chief minister have the courage to play tricks on the Yuan family and my eldest son?

"Do you still dare to declare war on my lord?"

Liu Bei stood up slowly, his domineering and confident aura igniting.

"You ask Yuan Tan to wash his neck, prepare the coffin, and wait for me to behead him!"

"And his father Yuan Shao!"

"He wants to usurp my country, the Han Dynasty, and I, Liu Bei, as a member of the Liu family, will never let him succeed!"

"I will fight him till the end till the death!"

"I, Liu Bei, hereby swear by the Huai River that I will kill all of his, Yuan, and other rebellious officials and traitors, and not a single one of them will be spared!".
