"I want to marry you, Miss Yunlu, and get married to your Ma family. I wonder if you, Miss Yunlu, are willing?"
Yuan Fang did not hesitate and made his intentions clear to Ma Yunlu frankly.
Marrying Ma Yunlu was exactly what Fazheng had done for him to quell the rumors in the army and appease the hearts of the soldiers from Xiliang.
The Ma family is very famous in Guanlong. Once Yuan Fang and Ma Yunlu get married, it will send a signal to the soldiers of Guanlong, indicating that the King of Qi trusts the Ma family and trusts them from the western Liang people of Guanlong.
In this way, it not only eliminated the worries of the Ma family, but also dispelled the suspicion and uneasiness of the army officers, so the rumors were naturally self-defeating.
However, Yuan Fang refused to succumb to oppression and just raised an army to resist. Although he is now the king of Qi, his essence remains unchanged. He is not the kind of person who bullies others.
Therefore, he will not force Ma Yunlu to marry him, but will seek her own opinion.
If Ma Yunlu is not willing, Yuan Fang would not bother forcing a woman, and Yuan Fang would rather not try to suppress the so-called rumors in the army.
Ma Yunlu's whole body was frozen in place with shock, his face was filled with embarrassment, his slender eyelashes were fluttering, and his tall chest was rising and falling violently, as if he couldn't believe what Yuan Fang just said.
"Your Majesty you want you want to marry me?"
After a long while, Ma Yunlu woke up from her surprise, and her surprised question was squeezed out from between her teeth with a trembling voice.
"Yes, I want to marry you."
Yuan Fang nodded, holding her shoulders with both hands, looking directly at Ma Yunlu's blushing and embarrassed face with a pair of magnanimous and clear eagle eyes.
"I won't lie to you. The reason why I want to marry you is to show the trust between our monarchs and ministers by marrying your Ma family. To appease the Xiliang soldiers in the army and the officials in the rear."
"However, I, Yuan Fang, will also swear to God that I will be kind to you, Ma Yunlu, for the rest of my life and will never let you suffer any injustice."
Marrying Ma Yunlu is for political marriage, but Yuan Fang is upright and will not sacrifice a woman's happiness easily. Since he wants to marry her, he must treat her well. This is Yuan Fang's way of doing things.
Ma Yunlu was not stupid. She understood immediately. Without even thinking about it, she knew that this must be Nafa Xiaozhi¡¯s idea.
"You, my father originally wanted to marry me to you. He asked the Ma family to marry you, but you refused. Why now, you are resorting to marriage again."
Ma Yunlu pouted and complained, seeming a little dissatisfied.
Yuan Fang didn't mind, and just said lightly: "Back then, you and I were each other's enemies. Today, we are our own people. Of course, we have to treat our own people differently. I told you these words a long time ago. You You should understand.¡±
The enemy and the enemy are clearly distinguished, and the grievances and grievances are clear. This is exactly Yuan Fang's style.
Ma Yunlu's plump body trembled slightly, and old memories surged up, and he suddenly understood.
With a soft sigh, the resentment on Ma Yunlu's face gradually faded away.
"You are the king of my country. You are so high and powerful. If you want to marry me, you can just issue an edict. I don't dare to disobey the king's order. Why do you need to ask me if I am willing."
Ma Yunlu raised his head again, fluttering his eyelashes with a puzzled look, and looked at him with his green eyes.
"Back then, I, Yuan Fangzheng, was unwilling to be oppressed by others, so I started an uprising angrily. Now, although I have the power, how can I force myself on a woman?"
Yuan Fang¡¯s tone was disdainful, and his flat face was filled with the pride of a man.
Ma Yunlu was deeply shocked again. When he looked at Yuan Fang again, his eyes were filled with not only surprise, but also a bit of admiration.
"It seems that he is the real master and the real hero. I am afraid that my elder brother is not as good as him. As for Zhang Xiu and his like, they are not even worthy to carry his shoes"
Ma Yunlu's heart was racing, his thoughts were racing, and the halo that had faded quietly appeared on his pretty face again.
Having said so much, the business has not yet been completed.
Yuan Fang looked at her again and asked solemnly: "Miss Yunlu, you haven't given me your answer yet. Are you willing or unwilling?"
Ma Yunlu bit her teeth lightly, her heart surged, her face turned red and white, as if she was too shy to make a decision.
Yuan Fang didn't force her, he just looked at her patiently.
Looking at her shy look, Yuan Fang couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart.
Just when he was feeling a little excited, Ma Yunlu suddenly stood up on tiptoes, held his chest with his hands, and kissed him gently on the cheek without him being prepared.
Then, she giggled like a skylark beyond the wall.?Turn around and fly out of the tent.
When Yuan Fang came back to his senses, Ma Yunlu had disappeared, leaving only the lingering fragrance and the kiss mark on his face.
"What kind of answer is this? Is she willing or unwilling?"
Yuan Fang raised his hand and stroked the fragrance beside his face. He was stunned for a moment and suddenly understood.
"I see¡¡"
He couldn¡¯t help but laugh too.
Two days later, Yuan Fang issued an edict, announcing to the entire army, the entire Xiliang and Guanzhong, and even the whole world that he would marry Ma Yunlu as his fifth wife after the battle to pacify Yizhou.
As soon as the news came out, the whole army was excited.
The officers and soldiers of the three armies were boosted by this good news, and their spirits and morale were boosted, especially those officers and soldiers from Liangzhou Pass. The speculation and uneasiness collapsed and were replaced by joy and excitement.
The rumors and rumors in the army were all shattered, and the will of Da Qi's more than 200,000 troops was once again condensed into steel.
When the news came back to the rear, the people of Liangzhou and Guanzhong were also excited. They knew that the king of Daqi not only had no suspicion about them, but also paid great attention to them. Otherwise, how could their representative family, the Ma family, carry out the marriage? .
For a time, the morale of the army was regrouped, the hearts of the people were united, and Cao Cao's alienation plan was completely shattered.
¡¡
In the main camp of the Chinese army, Yuan Fang was in a good mood as he listened to Zhuge Liang's report on the investigation of military morale, and couldn't help but drink a few glasses of wine.
After the report, Zhuge Liang said happily: "Fa Xiaozhi's marriage plan is really wonderful. Only a few days after the master released the news, the rumors in the army completely disappeared. It seems that Cao Cao's plan is a divorce plan." , it was crushed by the master.¡±
Yuan Fang smiled and drank all the wine in the cup.
After the wine was gone, the soldiers outside the tent came to report that it was General Yu Jin. He led five thousand soldiers and horses, escorted one hundred thousand grains and grass, and rushed to Jianmen Pass.
Yuan Fang's eyes immediately flashed with light, and he immediately ordered Yu Jin to send the message to the king's tent.
When Zhuge Liang heard that Yu Jin had arrived, he frowned and said in a low voice: "Master, Yu Jin is a general of Cao Cao's Yuan Cong. He surrendered to Master before because of force. I'm afraid he has not sincerely surrendered. Today's battle At the critical moment, the master summoned him to the front line of Jianmen Pass to help in the battle. Liang was afraid that"
Zhuge Liang didn¡¯t finish his words, but the implication was already obvious:
He doesn¡¯t trust Yu Jin.
A sneer appeared on Yuan Fang's lips: "Cao Cao has done harm to us, and now it's time for us to pay him back. If we don't summon Yu Jin, how can we fight back against Cao Cao."
Yuan Fang obviously meant something in his words. Zhuge Liang was suspicious and was at a loss for a while. Suddenly his eyes lit up and he seemed to have understood Yuan Fang's intention.
"Master, could it be that he wants to"
Before the words were spoken, Yu Jin had already entered the account. Yuan Fang glanced at him. Zhuge Liang understood and kept silent.
"I am escorting grain and grass to the ban, and there is no shortage of grain. I have delivered it to you, and I came here to pay homage to the king."
Yu Jin bowed down in front of the tent with a respectful attitude.
"Wen Ze has worked hard all the way. Please get up quickly and invite someone to come. Please give me a seat and serve you some wine."
Yuan Fang had a kind attitude and was very kind to Jin. He soothed her, making Yu Jin feel a little flattered.
After asking about the situation on the road, Yuan Fang suddenly changed the topic and said seriously: "Wen Ze, do you know why I called you to the front line in central Sichuan?"
"This" Yu Jin hesitated for a moment, "The king summoned the general to come. Naturally, he ordered the general to escort the grain and grass to the front line."
"This is just one of the reasons. There are three other reasons. I might as well share my heart with you."
Yuan Fang took a sip of wine and said slowly: "The first reason is naturally because you were an old general of Cao Cao and are most familiar with Cao Cao's army's tactics. Calling you to help in the battle will certainly be of great help to me. help."
After a pause, Yuan Fang continued: "I won't hide this second reason from you. I just want to put you to good use and set an example for Cao Cao's generals so that they can see that, The advantage of surrendering to this king is to disturb the morale of Cao's army."
Yu Jin nodded repeatedly, as if he was all ears.
"For the third reason, I want you to write a letter to Cao Cao, and use your words to persuade Cao Cao and persuade him to submit to me." Yuan Fang finally said.
Hearing this, Yu Jin's face changed, and he couldn't help flashing a strange look. He was clearly shocked that Yuan Fang was so "crazy" that he was so crazy that he wanted to persuade Cao Cao to surrender.
"Cao Cao once talked to this kingAs he said, he believed in the law of the jungle and victory over the strong. Today, I am the king who controls the entire north and is the most powerful man in the world. No matter how stubborn he is, it is useless. If he doesn't want the Cao family to be destroyed, he should wisely give up resistance and surrender to the king, so that I can end this troubled world in advance. I can ensure that he will be prosperous and wealthy for generations to come. "
Yuan Fang's arrogance shocked Yu Jin physically and mentally, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"The king has millions of troops, good generals like rain, and advisers like clouds. He has swept across the world and no one can defeat him. Cao Cao is indeed no match for him. After I returned, I immediately wrote a letter to persuade him to surrender and sent someone to give it to Cao Cao to persuade him to read it. Clear the current situation and submit to the king."
Yu Jin did not dare to obey, so he quickly stood up and bowed, and tremblingly accepted Yuan Fang's order.
Yuan Fang laughed and said happily: "If Cao Cao can really surrender, Wen Ze, you will have made great achievements, and I will definitely not treat you badly."
Yu Jin quickly bowed again, saying that he did not dare to take credit.
Although he was respectful, his eyes flashed with an unknown coldness, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
He had no idea that the mind-reading pupil in Yuan Fang's left eye had quietly opened.
