Three Kingdoms: Warriors Lu Bu, You Can Become Stronger By Killing Enemies

Chapter [89] Xu You Comes To Defraud Cao Cao Of Food And Grass

Cai Fu.

Cai Yan was sitting at the desk with a bamboo slip in his hand, reading by the light of the candle. The warm light hit Cai Yan's fair face, which was gentle and peaceful.

"Miss." The maid called softly.

Cai Yan looked up, "What's wrong?"

"The butler asks to see Miss."

Cai Yan got up and pushed open the window in front of him, and said to the outside: "Is Cai Bo okay?"

It is inconvenient for a widow to see a man.

Although Cai Yan has never been married, she insists on abiding by women's ethics.

"Miss, Master hasn't eaten since he came back." The butler's voice came from the window.

"What happened?" Cai Yan couldn't help asking.

"Yes... Miss, let's go there, you'll know it at a glance."

"Okay, I'll go now."

After the steward left, Cai Yan came out of the boudoir with her maid and headed towards Cai Yong's residence.

When passing by the middle hall, Cai Yan saw the betrothal gifts piled up under the eaves at a glance, and understood in his heart.

Out of curiosity, Cai Yan walked closer, saw the gift list above, and couldn't help but hold it in his hand to look at it.

Cai Yan Bingxue is smart, and after reading it, she understands everything.

"It must be Ah Weng who wanted to open a warehouse to release grain, and Lu Bu used it as a threat, which made Ah Weng feel embarrassed." Cai Yan muttered to himself.

But Cai Yan also knew in his heart that since the dowry had been brought back, Cai Yong might have made a choice in his heart, but it was difficult to tell her.

Cai Yan put down the gift list and immediately went to Cai Yong's room.

"Tuk tuk."

Cai Yong was sighing in the house, when he heard the knock on the door, he said irritably: "I told you that I don't eat, let's go.

"A Weng, it's the baby." Cai Yan's voice sounded from outside.

"Zhaoji, you... come in." Cai Yong hesitated, but let his daughter in.

The dowry has already been received, and this matter needs to be faced after all.

"Crack~"

Cai Yan pushed the door open and entered, holding hot soup in his hand.

Before Cai Yong could speak, Cai Yan said first, "Ah Weng, please agree to the marriage with the Great General."

"Zhaoji, you...you know?" Cai Yong was a little ashamed.

"Yeah." Cai Yan nodded, put down the hot soup and said, "Ah Weng, actually being a concubine to the great general is not all bad."

"Widowed daughters, who have not yet married at this age, can't stay at home all the time."

"Now it's a troubled time, my daughter needs someone to protect her, and the Cai family also needs someone to protect her."

"The general's power is overwhelming, and it is more than enough to protect us."

"If I had married the Great General before, would Wang Yun still dare to frame Ah Weng?"

"My daughter's marriage to the general can be regarded as adding a layer of security to our family."

Cai Yan was well-organized and well-founded, and a few words dispelled most of the grievances in Cai Yong's heart.

063 "But...it's a concubine!" Cai Yong was heartbroken.

If Lu Buzhen had married Cai Yan as his official wife, Cai Yong would probably agree to the marriage, considering that Cai Yan was a widow.

However, Lu Bu already had a regular wife, and Cai Yan used to be a concubine, which made it difficult for Cai Yong to accept.

It's like raising a daughter in later generations. When she grows up, she wants to marry and become a mistress. It may be difficult for any father to accept it, especially for a prestigious family like the Cai family.

"The most valuable concubine is my daughter, and my daughter is probably the most valuable concubine." Cai Yan was in a good mood, and said, "I am afraid that countless food and grass will be needed to help the victims in the Guanzhong Sanfu area. These are all daughters' betrothal gifts. It seems like a big deal." The general attaches great importance to his daughter."

A woman's way of thinking about problems is very clear. Lu Bu paid so much food and grass, but he insisted on marrying Cai Yan. This seemingly absurd behavior also made Cai Yan feel flattered.

Money may not buy love, but it can definitely buy goodwill.

The ancient people didn't pay much attention to love, and the words of the matchmaker were ordered by their parents. Since Cai Yong received the dowry gift, Cai Yan had no resistance to marrying him.

And Lu did not give a priceless dowry, which also made Cai Yan feel valued.

"Alas~" Facing his sensible daughter, what else could Cai Yong say? It could only be a sigh.

General's Mansion.

"How's the recruiting situation?" Lu Bu asked while sitting at the head.

"Returning to my lord, many young and strong people signed up enthusiastically, basically for the purpose of eating." Zhang Liao paused, and continued: "The problem of famine in Guanzhong has emerged. As the main group of people who consume food and grass, young and strong people have chosen to serve as soldiers. , so that the food consumption at home can be reduced.”

"Strictly check and select qualified soldiers." Lu Bu said: "Don't worry about the famine. The food will be opened soon, but the quality of the army must not be a problem.

"Here!"

"Is the person I asked you to pick in place?" Lu Bu asked instead.

"According to my lord's request, two thousand people have been selected, and all of them are serious and careful."

Lu Bu nodded when he heard the words, "These two thousand people have a simple drill, they understand basic military knowledge, and they can practice military discipline. There is no need to practice their ability to kill the enemy.

"It's simple." Gao Shun agreed.

"My lord, what do you want these people to do?" Xu Ying couldn't help being curious.

"Military doctors." Lu Bu said bluntly, "This battalion will be field military doctors in the future.

The 100,000 points are exchanged for unrivaled medical skills, and the effect must be maximized.

It is impossible for Lu Bu to heal the army all the time, and even one person cannot be cured at all. It is better to teach a battalion of military doctors.

These military doctors do not need to be highly skilled in medicine, they only need to be proficient in treating sword wounds, which can greatly reduce the casualties of the army.

The four generals suddenly realized when they heard the words, Lu Bu's superb medical skills [they have all experienced it.

Sometimes when they got sick occasionally, Lu Bu didn't even need to take a pulse, he could tell they were sick at a glance, and the medicine he prescribed could cure the disease in one meal, which made the four generals amazed and admired.

After talking about military affairs, the four generals left together.

Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu who had been listening for a long time, and asked, "What happened to the doctor I asked to see?"

"Go back to my lord, and found many doctors in the Guanzhong area."

Lu Bu can't teach 2,000 people by himself, so he should get more doctors to teach.

Lu Bu took out a lot of bamboo slips, "You take these bamboo slips away in a while, they contain knowledge about healing trauma, and you hand them over to the doctors who have been recruited.

"Remember to keep it under strict control, don't turn around and run away after the doctor has finished studying medicine." Lu Bu warned.

"My lord, don't worry, their family members are already in Chang'an." Jia Xu said without any haste.

Sure enough, he was a poisoner, and his family members had already controlled him, and he was absolutely impeccable in his work. Lu Bu was very satisfied with this.

"By the way, Cai Yong has agreed to get married, and the next thing is up to you." Lu Bu reminded.

"Don't worry, my lord." Jia Xu was confident.

At this time, Jia Mu, Jia Xu's son, came in and reported: "My lord, Yuan Shao sent an envoy.

"Oh?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but wonder why Yuan Shao was looking for him.

"Bring it in."

Not long after, Xu You came in from the outside, saluted Lu Bu and said, "I, Xu You, pay my respects to Marquis Wen.

"Oh, Xu Ziyuan, I've admired him for a long time." Lu Bu said politely.

A look of surprise flashed across Xu You's face, he didn't expect Lu Bu to know his name, "Your Majesty knows me?"

"Brother Benchu ​​and I have a lot of friendship. I heard that Mr. Ziyuan was mentioned many times by Brother Benchu, so I heard about it." Lu Bu spoke nonsense without blinking an eye, making him and Yuan Shao like iron buddies

After Xu You listened to it, he became more and more fond of Lu Bu, and felt that Lu Bu was also a good person.

"I don't know Mr. Ziyuan came all the way, what's the matter?" Lu Bu asked.

"That's right, Han Fu, the former Jizhou shepherd, died and entrusted Jizhou to my lord before he died." Xu You said slowly: "But it's not easy to give or receive an official position in private, so I came here to meet the emperor, and please appoint me together. .”

Xu You is very frank. After all, Lu Bu must be involved in the matter of asking for an official position. Lu Bu will know sooner or later.

It's better to open the skylight and speak frankly. Everyone can be honest with each other. Xu You made his appeal clear, and Lu Bu looked at the price.

After hearing this, Lu Bu couldn't help but feel emotional, and really realized the benefits of the emperor.

Before I even started coercing the emperor to make the princes, this business came to my door.

"That's it, things are a little difficult." Lu Bu pretended to be apologetic: "The emperor is not in a good mood recently."

Xu You cursed inwardly when he heard the words, the Son of Heaven is still a brat, how could he be in a bad mood?

But the smile on his face remained undiminished, and he asked: "Why? Maybe my lord can share the worries of the emperor.

"That's right, even though Dong Zhuo is dead, the torment is still there."

"The people of Sanfu were plundered by the Xiliang army. Now that the autumn harvest is approaching, the people have no harvest. Seeing that there will be a famine soon, the emperor is so worried that he can't sleep at night." Lu Bu said sadly: "The emperor is a sage king, but what Lu Bu is just a common man, he can't share the worries of the emperor, his heart is burnt, life is better than death!"

Lu Bu's exaggerated appearance almost amused Jia Xu, so he suppressed it and kept silent.

"This...my lord's ability is limited, and there are countless people in Sansuke, so I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it. (aefc)" Facing Lu Bu's lion's big mouth, Xu You naturally would not foolishly agree.

It's okay to pay some price, but the name of Jizhou Mu is obviously not worth paying so much food and grass. Although Jizhou is rich, it is not taken advantage of.

"Oh, the Yuan family is famous all over the world and is the leader of scholars, but it's a pity that it's not as good as the Hongnong Yang family's fifth and third fathers." Lu Bu said something without thinking, then looked at Jia Xu, Said: "Wen He, for the position of Taiwei in the court, we must find a candidate as soon as possible."

Xu You's eyes widened suddenly. What Lu Bu said was nonsensical, but it didn't mean that Xu You didn't understand. Obviously, he wanted to sell the Taiwei!

The Taiwei ranks among the three princes. If Yuan Shao is willing to spend money to buy it, the Yuan family will become the third prince of the fifth generation, which is on par with the Hongnong Yang family.

Lu doesn't care about selling officials and nobles, it's just a false name anyway, as long as it can be exchanged for food, it's better than anything else.

Food is such a thing, in troubled times, no matter how much Lu Bu comes, it is not too much.

"That Jizhou Shepherd"

"What!" Lu Bu waved his hand and interrupted: "It's not worth mentioning, as long as Brother Benchu ​​is willing to share the worries for the emperor, everything is easy to talk about.

Lu Bu's subtext is: as long as you are willing to pay for a Taiwei, you can buy one and get one free, and spare a Jizhou shepherd for nothing.

Xu You was moved. Jizhou was not short of food and grass. There were many households in Hebei and the land was fertile. Yuan Shao was very rich.

"Marquis Wen, you need to tell my lord about the matter of sharing worries for the emperor, and I dare not do it alone." Xu You decided to ask Yuan Shao what he meant.

"It's easy to say, sir, stay in Chang'an for the time being, just write a letter." Lu Bu said again: "Since you are in Chang'an, how can you not see the emperor, I will take Mr. Ziyuan into the palace."

"What Wen Hou said is that it is indeed time to go to see the emperor." Naturally, Xu You did not dare to refuse, unless he was desperate and dared to say clearly that he would not be a bird to the emperor.

"Wenhe, don't you still want to meet Yilang Dong Zhao? Hurry up." Lu Bu gave Jia Xu a look.

Dong Zhao and Jia Xu were stunned for a moment, but they still remembered the name, then stood up and said, "I will retire from the humble position first."

"Come here, find a set of court clothes for Mr. Ziyuan, and take Mr.

Shower and change clothes. Lu Bu ordered loudly.

Xu You thought to himself that Lu Bu is just a man, so he is quite particular!

Jia Xu left the General's Mansion, rode on his horse and headed towards the palace quickly.

After arriving at the palace, Jia Xu immediately called for Li Su and told him, "Hurry up! Find a Yilang named Dong Zhao right away. This is the general's order, don't delay!"

Jia Xu didn't know Dong Zhao at all, and had no plans to meet Dong Zhao, but Lu didn't say yes, so there must be!

The thoughtful Jia Xu immediately understood that Lu did not secretly assign tasks to him, but it was difficult to explain clearly in front of Xu You.

"Okay!" Li Su agreed immediately, and led a thousand people from the palace to find Dong Zhao.

Li Su is now very contented, hugging Lu Bu's thigh, got a good official position, and was even named a marquis.

His subordinates control a thousand soldiers and are responsible for the internal affairs of the palace. The officials are polite when they see him, which makes Li Su feel great satisfaction in his heart, and he is more determined to embrace his thigh.

Lu Bu's request must be fulfilled immediately!

Li Su did his duty, but Zhao was almost scared to death.

When he saw Li Su rushing into his home with troops, Dong Zhao once thought that his collusion with Cao Cao had been revealed, and that Lu Bu had sent troops to ransack the house, so scared that his legs trembled and he almost peed his pants

up.

After arriving at the palace, Dong Zhao was dragged by Jia Xu to talk, all of which were not nutritious, and the car chattered back and forth, what to serve the emperor, serve the country...

After listening for a long time, Dong Zhao calmed down and realized that he might not be trying to kill him.

At a strange moment, Dong Zhao saw Lu Bu coming in, accompanied by another person.

"Dong Yilang is here too, you guys go ahead first." Lu Bu laughed and said, "I'll take Yuan Shao's envoy to meet the emperor first.

After finishing speaking, Lu Bu took Xu You to the apse.

Xu You was fine, he didn't care about Dong Zhao at all.

But Dong Zhao pays close attention to Xu You and the name of Yuan Shao's emissary, which makes Dong Zhao's vigilance immediately full.

When Jia Xu saw Dong Zhao's appearance, he felt that Lu Bu's goal had been achieved. This was the intuition of an old schemer, and he said: "The general is quite optimistic about you, and you will work hard in the future.

Bar. "

"No." Dong Zhao saluted and left, his mind completely attracted by Yuan Shao's envoy.

After leaving the main hall, Dong Zhao didn't want to leave like this, he wanted to find out why Yuan Shao's envoy came.

With this mentality in mind, Dong Zhao waited outside the main hall, hoping to meet Lu Bu again after Lu Bu came out.

At this moment, Dong Zhao understood what it means to live like a year. He was running around in a hurry outside the palace, wishing to rush to the emperor and listen to what they were talking about.

Finally, after a while, Lu Bu and Xu You came out of the hall talking and laughing.

Now that Lu Bu was looking at the six roads and listening to all directions, he naturally noticed Dong Zhao, so he deliberately raised his voice and said: "Mr. Ziyuan, don't worry, as long as the food and grass arrive"

see!"

"Then I would like to thank Marquis Wen." Xu You was fine when he heard this.

As soon as the grain and grass arrived, the emperor decreed that Yuan Shao was conferred the title of Taiwei and led Jizhou herdsman.

It's not easy to explain this kind of thing about selling officials and nobles, so it's completely fine for Lu not to use "the matter of the Son of Heaven" to refer to it.

But if Dong Zhao heard these words, it was all wrong.

The grain and grass have arrived, what is the matter of the emperor? Could it be that Yuan Shao also wants to take the master away?

It's too bad! Dong Zhao yelled in his heart that something was wrong.

"Bowei." Lu Bu waved to Li Su, "Mr. Ziyuan is a distinguished guest, please make arrangements and don't let messy people bother you."

"No." Li Su looked at Xu You and said, "Mr. Ziyuan, please, I will arrange a place for you."

"Thank you, General." Xu You looked at Lu Bu again, "Marquis Wen, I will take my leave for the time being.

After Xu You and Li Su left, Dong Zhao trotted to Lu Bu.

"General, I don't know what Yuan Shao's envoy is talking about?"

"Oh, yes..." Lu Bu paused and said, "You don't need to know.

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't want to tell him, Dong Zhao decided in his heart that Yuan Shao must also want to pick up the emperor, so he didn't want to tell him.

Dong Zhao said again: "General, Cao Gong has been informed about that incident last time..."

Lu impatiently interrupted with a wave of his hand, "There is no need to mention this matter again." After speaking, he strode away.

"Damn it! Yuan Shao must have paid a big price, Lu don't want to sell the emperor to Yuan Shao." Dong Zhao cursed inwardly, "No, I have to tell Cao Gong quickly, and ask Cao Gong to increase the price!"
