"Your Highness."

Seeing Liu Chan coming back, Chen Qun quickly stood up

"sit. Liu Chan waved his hands quickly and said with something in mind:"Sir, there is no need to be formal. We can just be casual. After all, you are here in a private capacity.""

"Yes Yes Yes."Chen Qun nodded hurriedly,"I haven't seen His Majesty for many years, so I wanted to come over and have a look."

"Sir, you are very kind. I will thank you on behalf of my father."

"Your Highness said something serious."

The two sat down again, and the topic suddenly disappeared. Previously,

Chen Qun came to Liu Bei and expressed his intention to seek peace in a vague way.

However, Liu Bei did not answer and pretended not to understand what Chen Qun meant.

He pulled Chen Qun to simply reminisce about the past, which made Chen Qun I can't figure out the details, is it possible that the Han Dynasty will continue to march into Guanzhong?

And after Liu Chan came, Chen Qun was even more speechless. After all, the two met for the first time.

Talking to Liu Bei, at least there is an entry point to reminisce about the past, and it will not The audience was silent, but he really didn't know how to speak to Liu Chan.

Seeing this, Liu Chan didn't waste any words and said straight to the point:"Sir, you are one of Cao Pi's four friends. He also holds a high position in Wei State. I must have come here with a mission." Bar?"

Chen Qun hesitated, nodded and said:"Your Highness is wise."

Now that Liu Chan has made a start, Chen Qun takes the opportunity to admit that this way the topic can continue.

"How about I take a guess? Liu Chan smiled slightly and continued without waiting for Chen Qun's answer:"Did Cao Pi send Mr. Cao Pi to ask for peace?""

Chen Qun responded with silence, obviously acquiescing that Liu Chan had guessed correctly.

However, he could not admit it. After all, it was a bit embarrassing.

I thought back to the time when Cao Cao went south to conquer Jingzhou and drove Liu Bei out like a lost dog.

Even after the battle of Chibi, the world was divided into three parts. , Cao Wei is still the most powerful family, sitting in the entire northern elite area, even the Sun and Liu families are tied together.

But now, they defeated Hanzhong first, then Xiangfan, and then Yongliang, not to mention Cao Pi on the throne. In fact, before Cao Cao died, he was a little scared of being beaten, and he was always worried about whether he would become Yuan Shao's second."Seven Three Seven" Therefore, even though the Wei State is still very strong today, the number of domestic troops is still 300,000, or even 400,000. But he was really overwhelmed and frightened by the big man.

Especially when Cao Pi had just ascended the throne for less than a year, Chen Qun made this trip.

Seeing Chen Qun's acquiescence, Liu Chan felt more confident and thought to himself:"Ask for peace. It's not impossible. Let Cao Pi proclaim himself a minister to his father, and the big man will be proud of himself for once."

"impossible!"

Chen Qun didn't even hesitate for a second and refused firmly, cutting off Liu Chan's thoughts.

Where is Cao Pi's legal authority for proclaiming emperor?

The throne of Zen!

Cao Pi's country was taken over from Liu Xie's hands.

If Wei now declares its vassalage to the Han Dynasty, the legal authority will It's gone.

Joking aside, claiming vassalage is shaking the foundation of the country. How could Chen Qun not know the seriousness of the matter?

"If you don’t want to surrender, how about I change the conditions? Liu Chan said with a half-smile,"How about cutting off the land?""

"It just so happens that the next step for the Han Dynasty is to march into Guanzhong and return to the old capital."

"If your country can understand the righteousness and directly let go of the pass, it will naturally avoid swordsmanship."

Although Liu Bei reminded him that the other party would definitely not agree to any harsh conditions, he still had to raise the conditions.

Even though Liu Chan knew that the other party would not agree to these excessive demands, he still had to put them forward first.

He threatened to tear down the roof first, and then If you suggest opening the window again, the other party will most likely agree.

Make a few excessive demands as a base, and then ask for Cao Pi's wife, which won't seem so excessive. It's like asking for a price that's sky-high.

"Your Highness, please change the conditions. It is impossible for Guanzhong to give up."Chen Qun is also a human being and said directly:"Your Highness might as well tell the true purpose directly. I and Your Majesty have an old relationship. As long as it is not too much, I can make the decision and agree."

Chen Qun also understood why Liu Chan wanted the lion to speak loudly, so he simply opened the skylight and spoke frankly.

Liu Chan nodded slightly,"Mr. Frankly, let me tell you the conditions."

"Your Highness, it’s okay to say"

"Ask Cao Pi to send his wife Zhen."

Chen Qun was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his face showed a sullen look, and he said angrily:"I have already spoken frankly, why does Your Highness continue to humiliate me?!"

"Mr. misunderstanding."Liu Chan quickly reassured,"I didn't mean that, but there are reasons for everything. Please listen to what I have to say before making a conclusion."

Chen Qun barely suppressed his anger. It was because he was on a mission to seek peace that he didn't just walk away.

"A letter from the eldest son of the emperor of your country. Liu Chan then explained:"It's not a letter to me, it's to his sister Dongxiang.""

"The letter stated that Cao Pi wanted to kill Zhen and had imprisoned Cao Rui. In desperation, he turned to Dongxiang to see if she could save Zhen's life.

Liu Chan spread his hands and said,"What can a little girl from Dongxiang do?" You can only ask me for help, and then you have the conditions just mentioned."

"Sir, since you are an old minister of my father, I will speak frankly."Liu Chan continued:"Dongxiang was very sad when he heard about this. He cried non-stop day and night. If this continues, someone will be killed, so Mr. Xiang must agree to this condition."

"Besides, this is also a good deed, not only saving Zhen’s life, but also saving Dongxiang’s life."

"My husband is Cao Pi's confidant. Even if he doesn't understand much about what I'm talking about, he must have heard about it. He knows whether it's true or not."

Chen Qun fell silent after listening. He naturally knew what Liu Chan said.

Cao Pi and his wife had been at odds for many years. As one of the four friends in Qiandi, Chen Qun knew everything.

Including that Cao Pi did not appoint Zhen Mi as queen, and even Chen Qun knew the intention of deposing him and knew that what Liu Chan said was true.

But after all, this kind of thing was Cao Pi's family matter, and Chen Qun didn't dare to agree to it outright.

"Why do you hesitate, sir? Liu Chan urged:"It's just a woman anyway. With Cao Pi's ruthless and unrighteous attitude, there must be no difficulties, right?""

"Thinking about it from another angle, Cao Pi was going to kill the Zhen family anyway. With his"use of waste" attitude, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds if he could get a truce with the Han Dynasty?"

"how? When Cao Pi sends Zhen away, isn't it enough to be out of sight and out of mind? Do we have to kill Mrs. Zhen?"

"Your Highness is right. Chen Qun hesitated and said,"It just hurts His Majesty Wei's face. I'm worried that he won't agree.""

"The matter is simple."Liu Chan said casually:"Dongxiang is in Nanzheng. You can just come here for the purpose of visiting your daughter. No one can say anything. Then you will announce to the outside world that you encountered bandits and were killed on the way."

"That...I'll give it a try when I get back."

"It’s not about trying, it’s about making sure."

Chen Qun pursed his lips and finally said:"Here!"

"Isn’t this a happy event for everyone?"

"Your Highness."Chen Qun raised his hands and spoke again,"I heard that General Zhang He..."

"In my place, this guy would rather die than surrender. It would be a pity to kill him, so I imprisoned him. It doesn't cost much money anyway. Liu Chan asked with a smile,"What?" Planning to ask for Zhang He?"

"yes."Chen Qun said bravely:"I hope your highness will show your support. In the past, the Han Shouting Marquis fell into Cao Ying. Emperor Wu was not embarrassed and finally let the Han Shouting Marquis leave."

Zhang He is, after all, one of the five good generals of the Wei State, and is undoubtedly the top group of high-ranking generals.

If he dies, that's fine. If he survives, he must rescue one or two people. Even if the big man doesn't let him go, the Wei State must show his attitude. Since

Chen Qun is on an envoy this time, this task is also assigned to him to see if he can rescue Zhang He.

"Sir, you really took great pains. Liu Chan laughed and said,"They are bringing out Zhongfu's old stories, but in this matter, my father and Zhongfu do not owe Cao Cao any favors."

Liu Chan retorted:"Zhongfu killed Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and helped Cao Cao win the battle of Guandu. Such a great kindness is enough to repay Cao Cao's kindness. Don't mention this matter again.""

"Do you really think you can't be open-minded? Chen Qun still refused to give up,"It's useless for the Han Dynasty to keep Zhang He. He can't serve the Han Dynasty, and the Han Dynasty doesn't dare to use him. Why can't Your Highness be a man of beauty?""

"Indeed, everything sir said is correct. Liu Chan still shook his head,"But it's useless for me to keep it. I can just put it back to Wei.""

"By detaining Zhang He, Wei lost a general. Letting him go would be like letting the tiger go back to the mountain."

"Wei loses a general, which is a good thing for the Han Dynasty"

"Your Highness is serious, how can Zhang He be considered a tiger general? The five tiger generals of your country are the real tiger generals! Chen Qun boasted:"What's more, even if Zhang He is a tiger, won't he still be captured alive when he encounters His Highness, a real dragon?""

"Your Highness can capture a tiger once, and he can capture a tiger a second time. Zhang He is not a big threat, so your Highness should let him go."

In order to rescue Zhang He, Chen Qun started to bury and eliminate Zhang He, not only praising Liu Chan, but also directly saying that Zhang He was worthless.

"Hahaha~ My father said that he is eloquent, and it is indeed true. After Liu Chan smiled, he said seriously:"It's not impossible, but I have two conditions.""

"Your Highness, please speak. Chen Qun immediately expressed surprise,"As long as it's not about professing vassalship or ceding territory, I will never be ambiguous.""

"One is that Mrs. Zhen must be sent."Liu Chan stretched out a finger

"OK!"This time Chen Qun agreed simply.

Not only could he have a truce with the Han Dynasty, but he could also get Zhang He back. Chen Qun believed that Cao Pi would definitely agree, and if he didn't agree, he would persuade Cao Pi to agree.

Liu Chan stretched out his second finger and said:" Second, release Mr. Xu"

"Mr. Xu?"Chen Qun didn't react for a while. He didn't know which Mr. Xu Liu Chan was talking about.

"Xu Shu, Mr. Xu Yuanzhi."Liu Chan said:"In the past when he was in Changbanpo, Cao Cao captured Mr. Xu's mother and forced Mr. Xu to work for him."

"If you want the big man to release Zhang He, please replace him with Mr. Xu Shu. Liu Chan smiled and said,"It's fair, right?" Just like when we exchanged for General Pound's family in prison, we each have what we need."

"this...That's ok too. Chen Qun thought it was not too much, and reminded him:"But I want to inform your highness that Xu Shu is already the censor Zhongcheng of Wei State. If he is unwilling to return to the Han Dynasty,..."(To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Before Mr. Xu Shu left, he promised his father that he would not give any advice to the Cao family in this life. I wonder if Mr. Xu Shu has made any exceptions in these years? Liu Chan asked directly

"never..."Chen Qun smiled bitterly and said:"Emperor Wu and His Majesty both treated him well, but Xu Shu didn't offer any advice, so he could only be allowed to supervise hundreds of officials and serve as censor.""

"The husband is also an old friend of his father, and Xu Shu is also an old friend of his father."Liu Chan continued:"If you say that your husband and your father are destined to have no connection, then Xu Shu and your father were forced to separate."

"In view of past friendship, I hope that Mr. will definitely facilitate this matter."

After capturing Zhang He alive, Liu Chan thought about how to use it and whether he could get back some valuable personnel.

After thinking about it, Liu Chan finally thought of Xu Shu who was forced to leave that year.......

I was still thinking about how to connect with Wei after the Northern Expedition and mentioned this matter.

It happened that Chen Qun came to the door and offered to take Zhang He away. Liu Chan just saved the trouble and asked the other party to take Xu Shu in exchange.

Wei wanted to take Zhang He back to show the Cao family's love for their loyal ministers.

The Han Dynasty also replaced Xu Shu, showing that the Han Dynasty never forgets his old minister.

Both parties have their own needs and hit it off immediately. Both parties benefit from each other and can achieve their own goals.

"nature."Chen Qun agreed wholeheartedly,"Even if it is to exchange for General Zhang He, I will do my best to fulfill His Highness's two conditions."

"So very good. Liu Chan stood up immediately and said,"My father is getting old and I often miss my old friends. It's not easy for you to come here. Please stay with me for a while.""

When Liu Chan came in just now, he saw that Liu Bei was very happy.

The reason why he called himself here was simply because he couldn't talk to his old friend in person about these stupid things.[]

Now that the matter has been settled, Liu Bei can easily reminisce with Chen Qun.

"His Highness's filial piety is touching. Chen Qun agreed,"I will stay in Nanzheng for a while. I will write a letter to the court first. When the people your Highness wants are delivered, I will return to Wei State soon.""

Chen Qun was also a very brave man and offered to stay as a hostage so that Liu Chan wouldn't have to worry about the exchange.

"Thank you sir. Liu Chan saluted and thanked him,"Sir, you might as well tell your father about Xu Shu's matter in exchange, so that he can be happy.""

"Here."

After a while, Liu Bei learned that Xu Shu could come back, and he was probably so happy that he couldn't sleep.

After all, Xu Shu was before Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bei relied on him as his confidant. They were reluctant to part ways, and now they must be ecstatic to find them again.

And Chen Qun After the matter was settled, Chen Qun went directly to chat with Liu Bei. Liu Chan also felt relaxed and went straight back home to find Dongxiang.

""Little Luo Shen~"

Liu Chan said in a brisk tone and pushed the door open directly.

He came with good news, so he didn't have to be as careful as yesterday.

When he entered the room, he saw that Wu Ran was there and was feeding Dongxiang.

"You are so shameless, why do you still have to feed you?"Liu Chan came up and joked.

Dongxiang was half leaning on the bedside. Hearing this, he was about to get up, but was stopped by Wu Ran.

"Leave him alone and eat well. After comforting Dongxiang, Wu Ran explained:"This girl doesn't eat well. If I don't feed her, she will have to deal with two mouths at most.""

"Having an eldest sister in the family is truly a blessing to the whole family. Liu Chan sighed with emotion, and then said to Dongxiang:"Get up and eat by yourself. Your mother's matter has been resolved. She will come here to reunite with you in a few days. There is no need to worry about her safety in the future.""

"real?!"

Dongxiang jumped up suddenly, knelt down on the bed and looked at Liu Chan, with stars in his beautiful eyes.

"It's absolutely true, otherwise what do you think I would be doing out there? Of course I'm going to help you solve your problem. Liu Chan boasted:"Remember, if something happens in the future, just tell your husband directly. Don't hide and cry alone.""

"Also, I am not Cao Pi. You don’t need to be frightened and cautious at home in the future, as if the whole family is abusing you."

"Don't look back and wait for your mother to come. I thought you were not doing well at home."

"great!"

Dongxiang was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He threw himself into Liu Chan's arms, like a koala hanging on Liu Chan's body.

"Okay, okay, I looked like a sick person just now. 0.9, now you are energetic?"Wu Ran patted Dongxiang's little butt,"Come down and finish your meal properly."

"oh..."Dongxiang was a little shy. He was so excited just now that he lost his composure.

The matter was resolved and there was no need to worry about Dongxiang. Liu Chan and Wu Ran left hand in hand.

"New Year approached."Wu Ran said with emotion,"The state affairs and family affairs are going smoothly, and I will definitely have a good year this year."

"That's natural, and things will get better and better in the days to come. Liu Chan took Wu Ran's hand and said,"Sister, I will go to your room tonight.""

"Just come, we are an old couple."Wu Ran didn't care, and was even a little surprised.

"It's different tonight. Liu Chan chuckled and said,"The real bridal chamber.""

Liu Chan could feel that Wu Ran's hand was clenched subconsciously, and he seemed a little nervous.

The two had been married for many years, and finally made it to this day. Wu Ran's mood was quite complicated.

"Wouldn't Adou favor the two tiger girls first?"Wu Ran pretended to decline, but in fact he was trying to ease his mood.

"How could it be their turn? Liu Chan held Wu Ran's hand tightly,"The first one must besister"

"That...That...I'll go get ready."

Having been married for many years, they were still shy when things happened. Wu Ran's cheeks fluttered, and she lifted up her skirt and left in a hurry.

First, she ordered her servants to change the bed. After putting on a new one, Wu Ran asked for a bright red wedding quilt.

Finally, she simply Post happy words, put on red candles, and hang up red lanterns to have a real wedding night.

After everything was prepared, Wu Ran was sweating and hurried to take a shower and clean up. The maid sent him to the bathroom baskets of dried petals...

Without even bothering to eat dinner, Wu Ran returned to the bedroom, got under the quilt and waited.

""Creak~"

The door hinge made a slight sound, and Liu Chan stepped into the house.

Wu Ran closed her eyes nervously, but she couldn't help but reveal a smile of anticipation.

"eldest sister..."
