Liu Mang called out two of Sun Cejun's strategists in one breath. Naturally, Sun Cejun's strategists did not want to look for trouble. The banquet ended like this.
Before leaving, he gave Liu Mang and Lü Bu two wedding invitations and asked them to be present.
"April 5th?!" Liu Mang opened the invitation and saw the date. Wasn't it the day after tomorrow? It was rare for the army to be able to rely on a city, so they needed to purchase some goods. Therefore, a delay of one or two days was not a big deal.
There was still time, but the marriage partners on the invitation made Liu Mang feel a bit strange. Sun Ce and Big Joe? If he did not know about history, Liu Mang would not be very surprised. It was normal for a man and a woman to get married. However, the key was that Liu Mang knew that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu did not marry Big Joe and Little Joe at the same time.
Why was there only one person? After thinking for a while, Liu Mang could not figure it out. So, he simply did not think about it. It was none of his business whether other people got married or not. If he could eat and drink again, why not?
Liu Mang did not know that the reason why Zhou Yu and Sun Ce did not get married together was because Zhou Yu was busy with a major event. Originally, the two of them agreed to get married at the same time, but because of this matter, Zhou Yu's wedding was delayed. So, there was only Sun Ce and Big Joe.
Outside Wan Cheng, in the Lvbu's Army's tent, Liu Mang did not have time to enter the tent. He was called by Lü Bu because a group of uninvited guests suddenly came.
They were dressed in white and stood in the tent as if they were attending a funeral.
What is this situation? Did anyone die? Why are they dressed like this?
"Rear General Yuan Shu's Secretary Yang Hong greets Lü Pingdong!" An old man with a long beard spoke first.
Yuan Shu's men? Liu Mang felt a bit strange. How can Yuan Shu's men come to Wan Cheng? Didn't he go to Hebei to seek refuge with his brothers?
While Liu Mang was still thinking, a young girl suddenly knelt down and said "Honorable Uncle, you must uphold justice for this little girl!"
Great Uncle? She was Yuan Shu's daughter? Lü Bu and Yuan Shu's relationship wasn't very good, but it wasn't bad either. Therefore, when Yuan Yao saw Lü Bu, he would call him uncle. She wanted Boss Lu to make a decision for her?
Liu Mang's head was full of questions, but he soon understood everything.
"Rear General Yuan Shu, Yuan Gonglu, has passed away!" Yang Hong sobbed. His voice was filled with sorrow.
Yuan Shu is dead? Liu Mang was surprised. Chen Lan and Lei Bo were cleaned up by the Lvbu's Army. Xu Province was not blocked by Lao Cao. They should have arrived in Hebei soon. Why did they get the news that Yuan Shu is dead?
"Get up!" Lü Bu looked at this group of people and sighed while shaking his head. It seemed that Lü Bu had already received the news.
"Where is that old man Chen Gong?" Liu Mang asked Chen Gong.
"Yuan Gonglu, sigh!" Yuan Shu's luck was really good. When he arrived in Xu Province, Lao Cao was preparing to deal with Big-eared Liu.
The entire Xu Province and Yan Province were in a state of war. Yuan Shu just happened to bump into the battlefield. Xu Province's Army didn't know Yuan Shu's Army and thought it was Cao Cao's Army. Cao Jun knew it was Yuan Shu's Army. Since they were enemies, he also attacked.
Under the attack of two sides, Old Yuan was killed.
"Where is Yuan Yao?" Lü Bu looked at the people below and didn't see Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao.
"Little Lord, Little Lord also, also died in Xu Province!" Yang Hong said with tears running down his face. They survived not because Cao Jun and Liu Bei's Army was merciful, but because the clothes they wore were too ordinary. The soldiers didn't bother to kill them.
And Yuan Shu and Yuan Yao, the father and son, even if they were defeated, they were still wearing gold and silver. It would be strange if they weren't killed first.
Only Yang Hong, Yuan Shu's daughter and several of his attendants managed to escape. The rest of the people were either dead or scattered. Yang Hong was able to persist until he reached Lu Bu's army. It was already very exhausting for him.
In the whole world, there were only a few people who could accommodate Yuan Shu's descendants. Hebei could only rely on Yang Hong and these old, weak, sick and disabled people. As for Cao Cao? If he dared to go, he would definitely die. Moreover, Cao Cao liked to rape women.
Liu Bei? Liu Bei couldn't even protect himself. Liu Bei even abandoned his own wife and daughter, not to mention other people's.
The most difficult one was Sun Ce. When Sun Ce was under Yuan Shu, Yang Hong often said bad things about Sun Ce because he could see that Sun Ce wasn't someone who was willing to be under others.
It was even more impossible for others to be willing to accept the Yuan family's children.
"General Lü, before Milord died, he told me that General Lü still owes Milord a promise," Yang Hong looked at Lü Bu and said.
"En!" Lü Bu nodded. Lü Bu owed Yuan Shu when he borrowed provisions at Shouchun.
"Yang Hong boldly asks General Lü to avenge Milord and Little Lord!" Yang Hong suddenly knelt down and begged.
"Avenge Yuan Shu?!" Let's not joke. Let's not talk about whether Yuan Shu was killed by Liu Bei or Cao Cao. Even if he knew, Lü Bu wouldn't take action now. Although both of them were Lü Bu's enemies, now wasn't the time for revenge.
Lü Bu couldn't use the lives of more than 20,000 Lvbu's Army in exchange for a promise he once made to Yuan Shu.
"What I said to Lü Bu was something that I, Lü Bu, could do. But I can't do it now! I can't disregard the lives of more than 20,000 soldiers for Milord! "Lü Bu refused without hesitation.
Yang Hong seemed to know that Lü Bu wouldn't agree and said, "Milord is dead and Little Lord is gone. Only Miss is left. General Lü, please take pity on her!"
"Don't worry. I will take care of Lü Bu's daughter as if she were my own!" It was impossible for Lü Bu to avenge Yuan Shu, but he could take care of Lü Bu's daughter.
Lü Bu thought that his answer would satisfy Yang Hong, but Yang Hong shook his head and said, "Milord's last wish was for General Lü to take care of Miss, but not for his daughter!"
"Not for his daughter? If not for his daughter, then for his wife? Liu Mang looked at Lü Bu and then at Miss Yuan. There was a difference in seniority between the two. Once they got together, it would be impossible. Even Lao Cao didn't dare to do that. After redeeming Cai Wenji, he still behaved himself.
Liu Mang was gloating, but he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because Yang Hong's next sentence was, "Milord hopes that Miss can marry His Highness the King Of Shu!"
"What? Marry me?! " Liu Mang jumped up. What does this have to do with me? Old Yuan, you and Boss Lu are good friends, but you don't have a clear relationship with me, Liu Mang! You want to marry your daughter to me? What kind of situation is this?
Before Yuan Shu died, he asked Yang Hong to marry his daughter to Liu Mang. Yuan Shu had his own considerations. Even if Lü Bu cared for his daughter, it was only temporary. After all, she wasn't his daughter. No matter how good he was, there was a limit. She might even become a victim of politics. Even if she wasn't, the feeling of living under someone else's roof was definitely not good.
But marrying Liu Mang was different. Liu Mang was now Lü Bu's son-in-law. Lü Bu only had one daughter. In the future, all of his assets would be Liu Mang's. It could be said that Liu Mang was the young master of the Lvbu's Army.
Marrying his daughter to Liu Mang meant marrying the young master of the Lvbu's Army. This way, his daughter would have a home and wouldn't need to live under someone else's roof. It was even possible that their children could compete for the assets left behind by Liu Mang.
"Hmph!" Lü Bu coldly snorted. He didn't know what Yuan Shu was thinking, but Lü Bu was very unhappy that he was trying to steal his son-in-law in front of him.
"My family's young miss doesn't care about status. She can be a second wife!" Yang Hong added. Being a second wife meant that she wouldn't compete with Miss Lü for the position.
"I can't decide this matter. The decision is up to him!" Lü Bu coldly looked at Liu Mang. Liu Mang couldn't help but shiver. He knew that if he didn't give a good answer, Liu Mang wouldn't let him go.
"I have Qi Ling, and that's enough! I haven't married a wife yet. How can I have a second wife? "Liu Mang hurriedly refused. Wasn't it suicide to take a concubine in front of his father-in-law?
Liu Mang's words made Lü Bu satisfied. "You see, it's not that I don't agree. It's that he doesn't want to!" Letting Liu Mang marry Miss Yuan was within his ability. Lü Bu couldn't refuse on the spot.
"Your Highness King Of Shu, my family's young miss is gentle and considerate. She can serve you and Miss Lü well!" Yang Hong promoted his family's young miss.
To be honest, Liu Mang looked at Miss Yuan and felt that she was really pretty. She was also a great beauty. In addition, she was crying pitifully. It made people want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.
However, the problem now was that Boss Lü was here. Liu Mang didn't want to touch the tiger's butt.
Seeing that Liu Mang wasn't moved, Lü Bu also looked indifferent.
Yang Hong gritted his teeth. "General Lü, my lord has left a dowry for my young miss. Please take a look!" From his bosom, Yang Hong pulled out a cube item. Unraveling the cloth, an item that caused everyone present to suck in a breath of cold air appeared before their eyes!
