Three Kingdoms: copy Lu Bu's force at the beginning

Lu Su was taken aback immediately, and hurriedly persuaded: "Master, this matter should not be rushed, it must be done slowly."

"The Cao family is a Xuzhou family. It is said that they are the descendants of Cao Shen, the founding hero of the Han Dynasty."

"The Cao family is deeply rooted in Xuzhou, and its descendants, as well as contacts and friends, are all over Xuzhou, and their influence is huge."

"What's more, the Cao family has been in the army for a long time, for more than ten generations, and has many cronies in the army, and their prestige is extremely high."

"It is easy to kill Cao Bao without sufficient evidence, but it will cause turmoil in Xuzhou, which is not good for the master's cause."

How could Liu Bei not understand, he just said this on purpose just now to relieve his anger.

"It's just..." Liu Bei moved his eyes and sighed slightly, "Then Cao Bao is extremely cunning, and deliberately kept his flaws secret, how can we convict him?"

Lu Su smiled and said, "My lord, I thought, why do we have to kill Cao Bao?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, looked at Lu Su with some puzzlement, and found that Lu Su's smile was a bit lewd, so he couldn't help asking: "Zi Jing, don't you kill Cao Bao?"

Lu Su nodded and said with a smile: "My lord, don't forget, how did Lu Bu win over Cao Bao when he took over Pengcheng?"

Lu Bu?

Liu Bei was taken aback for a moment, his eyes lit up immediately, and he remembered.

Lu Bu was married to Cao Bao.

Originally, Lu Bu was ready to marry Cao Bao's daughter and marry Cao Bao.

However, before Lu Bu got the beauty back, he lost to Liu Bei and lost Xuzhou. Naturally, it was impossible to be with the lady of the Cao family.

Liu Bei also heard that there are two beauties in Xuzhou, one is Mi Zhu's younger sister Mi Zhen, and the other is Cao Bao's daughter Cao Huan.

At present, Liu Bei has a few women, but they are all without status and status, and they cannot enter the elegant hall.

Especially now, Liu Beigui is the shepherd of Xuzhou, so naturally he has to find someone from a famous family to be his wife.

Whether it's Mi Zhu's younger sister or Cao Bao's daughter, they all have this qualification.

Originally, Liu Bei had taken a fancy to the Mi family.

The Mi family is rich and powerful, Mi Fang also has a certain prestige in the military, and Mi Zhen is also a beautiful woman.

If Liu Bei could marry Mi Zhen and marry the Mi family, his approval rate in Xuzhou would naturally increase greatly.

After all, whether it is him or Zhuge Liang, who is super capable, they are all outsiders, not natives of Xuzhou.

Therefore, if you can win over local people in Xuzhou, it will be very helpful to stabilize Xuzhou.

Now, Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are dissatisfied, and have just been fooled by Liu Bei.

As for Mi Zhu, his attitude has always been erratic, and Liu Bei couldn't figure out what Mi Zhu meant.

As for Cao Bao, not to mention, he has already become enemies.

Only Lu Su, although he is from Xuzhou, is from Linhuai in Xuzhou.

Why is it called Linhuai, because from there to the south, it is the land of Huainan, which is the southernmost part of Xuzhou.

But the most complicated situation in Xuzhou is in Pengcheng, the governing place.

Therefore, compared to Pengcheng, Lu Su is also an outsider.

It would be inappropriate for a bunch of outsiders to rule Xuzhou and Pengcheng if they don't establish a good relationship with the local powerful people.

Liu Bei also thought of this, that's why he took the Mi family's idea.

But when Lu Su said this, Liu Bei was in trouble.

The Mi family and the Cao family, you can only choose one.

If Mi Zhen and Cao Huan are not the twin beauties of Xuzhou, that's all, Liu Bei can marry together.

But the two of them happened to be Xuzhou Shuangmei. There are many people in Xuzhou who are interested in them, and they are definitely attracting attention.

Once Liu Bei married both of them, this lustful reputation would not go away.

As soon as Xuzhou was taken, he married both Xuzhou's two beauties, which would definitely arouse a lot of hatred.

But if you only marry one, you can be understood by everyone. It's a normal marriage to win the relationship.

Liu Bei is now in a difficult situation. Which one should he choose, the Mi family or the Cao family?

Lu Su didn't know what Liu Bei was thinking. Seeing Liu Bei's perplexed face, he immediately asked, "Why, my lord, is there a problem?"

Liu Bei sighed slightly, and said: "To be honest, the Mi family has hinted to me that they want to betroth Mi Zhen to me."

"That's why I was a little embarrassed when Zijing suddenly mentioned Cao Bao's daughter."

This guy Liu Bei is really thick-skinned, obviously he is the one who fell in love with Mi Zhen and the Mi family, but he said that the Mi family wanted to curry favor with him, the master of Xuzhou.

Naturally, Lu Su would not have any doubts. He was slightly taken aback, frowned, and muttered to himself, "This is going to be difficult."

"Since the Mi family has hinted to the lord, if the lord suddenly marries Cao Bao's daughter, I'm afraid it will cause great dissatisfaction to the Mi family, which will be detrimental to the stability of Xuzhou."

"..." Liu Bei's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said that, it would only hinder Lu Su's judgment.

Lu Su was honest, but he didn't know that Liu Bei had lied to him, so he was still frowning and muttering to himself: "If my lord marries the sister of the Mi family and the daughter of the Cao family at the same time, I'm afraid it will be bad for my reputation."

"Even the Mi family and the Cao family will be very disturbed, and the effect of the marriage will be greatly reduced."

"Could it be that you must marry one family and offend another?"

"Well, no, this is also detrimental to the stability of Xuzhou, so we have to think of a way to get the best of both worlds."

Lu Su racked his brains, while Liu Bei was in the mood of crying but not tears. If he had known this, he would not have to face this face, and directly expressed his thoughts.

After a long time, Liu Bei asked weakly: "Zijing, there is no such thing as the best of both worlds. If you are greedy, you will lose."

"How about choosing one from the Mi family and the Cao family?"

"Since the Cao family has great influence in Xuzhou, let's take care of the Cao family first. After all, the Mi family is now mainly merchants. Mi Fang's influence in the army is far less than that of Cao Bao. How about it?"

Liu Bei really had no choice but to kick the Mi family aside and win over the Cao family first.

"This..." Lu Su was still thinking seriously about Liu Bei, frowning, "But, my lord, the influence of the Mi family in Pengcheng and Xuzhou does not seem to be weaker than that of the Cao family."

"Especially, because the Mi family is a businessman, the influence outside of Pengcheng is still higher than that of the Cao family."

Liu Bei scolded Lu Su for his brains, so he had to pretend to be righteous: "What's the problem?"

"How can a person who achieves great things swing around when things happen?"

"Zijing, this matter is settled like this. We will marry Cao Bao's daughter to secure the Cao family."

"As for Mi Zhu and Mi Fang, if they are dissatisfied, they should send more agents to keep an eye on them."

"As long as the Cao family is sincere for me, then the Mi family will never cause any trouble."

Lu Su's face was moved, and he cupped his hands and said: "My lord is wise, my lord is wise."

"Among the lords of the world, only the lord can do great things without sticking to small details."

"My lord, just don't worry. Proposing marriage to the Cao family and monitoring the Mi family are all on my shoulders."

Liu Bei was overjoyed and heaved a sigh of relief secretly. Just as he was about to speak, Chen Dao walked in from the outside: "My lord, Zang Ba sent an envoy."
