Lü Bu and his first wifeLady Yan . When Lü Bu controlledXu Province , which he seized fromLiu Bei shortly afterTao Qian 's death,Yuan Shu wished to strengthen their relationship by a marriage alliance. Lü Lingqi was to be wedded to Yuan Shu's son, Yuan Yao. Lü Bu, however, was strong in force at the time and arrogantly refused the marriage alliance.When Liu Bei turned to
Cao Cao for aid, Lü Bu was surrounded by their coalition atXiapi and sought reinforcements from Yuan Shu. Lü Bu sentZhang Liao andHao Meng to deliver a letter to Yuan Shu offering his daughter's hand in marriage. Yuan Shu was offended by Lü Bu's earlier denial and refused to send troops until Lü Lingqi was in his son's hand. Zhang Liao and Hao Meng had no choice but to return with such request. On their way back, however, Hao Meng was captured byZhang Fei and the plot leaked out after the death of Hao Meng to Cao Cao.
