Lu Bu stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his cheek and beard,

calmly accepted Yang Xiu's thanks,

When Yang Xiu straightened up,

Only then did he slowly speak:

"Alright, now let's get down to business."

Yang Xiu's expression was straight,

At this time, he no longer has half a point of arrogance,

The mentality is completely flat,

Seeing this, Lu Bu nodded secretly,

"Actually, our whereabouts have been noticed by us for a long time, but we have never alarmed you, and we have all guessed your intentions before. To be honest, we very much hope and need to join forces with your Yang family. ”

Lu Bu's open and honest words,

To Yang Xiu's surprise,

What surprised him was not what Lu Bu said,

It's Lu Bu's honesty,

A wave of emotion rose in my heart,

Lu Bu was so sincere at the beginning,

Obviously full of sincerity,

In fact, they are both smart people,

In today's situation,

The Yang family took the initiative to find Lu Bu,

Obviously, it should be Lu Bu who occupies the initiative,

If Lu Bu waits for the price and sells,

I can't say that the Yang family has to suffer more losses,

But Lu Bu took the initiative to speak,

Undoubtedly, the initiative of negotiation was put in the hands of Yang Xiu,

This is in the square, but Yang Xiu has been working hard to fight for,

Now that the other party has delivered it so easily,

Yang Xiu's heart was moved at the same time,

admired Lu Bu more and more.

Now that Lu Bu took the initiative to open a topic,

Invest in Yang Xiu with a peach, Yang Xiu naturally wants to repay it,

Hurriedly spoke:

"Wen Hou, I really don't hide it, in fact, I came here this time, I made a special trip to discuss this matter with Wen Hou, before I spent the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, Wen Hou was generous and benevolent, not only did not care about it, but treated me with sincerity, which really made Xiu embarrassed!"

Lu Bu smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Hehe, Dezu, don't say these words anymore."

Yang Xiu nodded,

took a sip of the tea next to him,

I haven't had time to take a sip of tea before,

After the mood is relaxed at the moment,

Although the tea is cold,

But after drinking it, it still feels sweet.

"Wen Hou, it's not a secret, now that Cao Sikong's army is sent out, the entire Xu County is extremely empty, and it seems to be overstretched, but in fact, it is intentional."

"Oh?"

Lu Bu deliberately pretended not to know,

There was a look of surprise on his face.

Yang Xiu nodded and continued:

"Cao Sikong is actually trying to lure the snake out of the hole, and then wipe out those people."

"Those people?"

"That's right, those people."

Yang Xiu showed a wry smile on his face:

"Since Cao Sikong was dedicated to the emperor, although the cadres were dictatorial and monopolized, they had to say that Cao Sikong was a person who really worked hard for the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Lu Bu nodded in agreement,

Although Cao Cao has a lot of ambitions today,

But the conviction in his heart,

Or to be a Hanchen,

And he's been thinking hard about it.

Therefore, Yang Xiu's words,

Lu Bu didn't have a trace of annoyance.

Yang Xiu cautiously glanced at Lu Bu's expression,

found that the other party did not mean to be angry,

Only then did he relax and continue to speak:

"But Cao Sikong has done all this, but a considerable number of people think that he is another Dong Zhuo, and there are always voices in the court who want him to be in power under His Majesty the Emperor."

"Your Yang family should be one of them."

Hearing Lu Bu's question,

Yang Xiu couldn't help but laugh bitterly,

But there is no refutation,

The Yang family is a staunch royalist faction,

This is something that everyone in the world knows,

What Lu Bu said is also the truth.

Yang Xiu continued with a bitter smile on his face:

"Although our Yang family is a staunch imperial party, but they are not those people who are blind or have ulterior motives, we can still tell what Cao Sikong has done."

Suddenly, Yang Xiu put away the wry smile on his face,

His face turned to say that:

However, those with ulterior motives will not think so, or even if they know this, they will choose to ignore it. For these people, they thought they were doing something hidden, but in fact, Cao Sikong should have been aware of it a long time ago, and even prepared to deal with it, but it was ridiculous that those guys still didn't think they could win. ”

Lu Bu thought of the famous "Cloth and Belt Edict" incident in an instant,

Although the process is a little different from this time,

But this should also be the change caused by his appearance in this era,

He didn't choose to speak,

Still pretending to know nothing and listening to Yang Xiu's story.

“…… Although my father and I have no real news, we conclude that Cao Sikong sent a large army to attack this time on purpose, and the purpose is that this group of people wants to take advantage of this opportunity to wipe out all the opposing voices. ”

"Could it be that your Yang family is also involved?"

Lu Bu couldn't help but ask suspiciously,

It stands to reason that the Yang family did not participate in the 'Cloth and Belt Edict' incident.

Could it be that it is also the consequence of the 'butterfly effect',

But if their Yang family is really involved,

Then it is absolutely impossible for them to come to Lu Bu's side to ask for help,

It doesn't make sense.

Yang Xiu's head shook like a rattle,

hurriedly defended:

"Wen Hou, our Yang family has never been involved in this matter. Dong Cheng, the leader of the Wei general, has never dealt with our Yang family, and this time he was able to leave Xu County, and it was precisely by taking advantage of the contradictions with Fu Wan's sons that he was able to get out of the ...... of Xu County."

Lu Bu nodded,

"So you are afraid of getting into trouble, but the identity and position of your Yang family are there, at most you can live in peace with Cao Mengde, and you will never be able to go to defect, so you thought of uniting with me, is it because I have a good personal relationship with Cao Mengde?"

Yang Xiu was slightly embarrassed,

What Lu Bu said is not wrong at all,

It is for these reasons that

That's why the Yang family took the initiative to come here to find Lu Bu to cooperate.

After all, according to their Yang family's inference,

According to Cao Cao's personality,

This time he's going to cut the grass and eradicate the roots,

By the way, there will also be some possible threats,

Clean it up together,

Their Yang family is very unfortunate,

It is very likely that Cao Cao will target him,

At that time, even if Cao Cao was jealous of the Yang family's fame and power,

But even if their Yang family doesn't die,

will definitely shed a layer of skin or even hurt the muscles and bones,

Therefore, Yang Biao will take precautions,

Let Yang Xiu take the first step to find Lu Bu to seek cooperation.

"Dezu doesn't have to be embarrassed, this is human nature, if I and your father change places, I will do the same, but I am definitely not as prescient as Yang Gong."

Hearing Lu Bu not only speak to relieve his embarrassment,

He also held his father,

Yang Xiu couldn't help but feel a burst of comfort,

For Lu Bu to be closer,

Hurriedly clenched his fists and said:

"Wen Hou praised, my father often said that Wen Hou is a hero today, Yang Xiu is very admired, this time, although it is because of family affairs, but in fact, there are some small selfishness of Xiu."

Lu Bu smiled indifferently,

For Yang Xiu's words on this scene,

Naturally, it doesn't go to heart.

Yang Xiu continued:

"The relationship between Wenhou and Cao Sikong is irreversible, and now Cao Sikong is making a big move against Xuzhou, compared to Wenhou, he will definitely take action to cooperate with Cao Sikong, I don't know if I can guess right?"

Lu Bu nodded when he heard this,

Fang Cai was already in front of Yang Xiu,

said the news that he was about to go south in the near future,

With Yang Xiu's ingenuity,

I will definitely be able to guess one or two,

The reason why Lu Bu chose this time to send troops,

Indeed, there are quite a few reasons,

It was to help Cao Cao share the pressure from the two brothers Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao.

"This time, when I came down, I also brought the full sincerity of our Yang family, although the Yang family does not have any strong force, but there are some things outside the body. I, Hongnong Yang, am willing to provide Wenhou with millions of dollars and 300,000 stones of grain and grass. ”

Lu Bu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows,

looked at Yang Xiu in surprise,

He expected that the Yang family would use money and food to open the way,

This is also the reward for the other party to seek asylum.

Or in the green forest is called 'worship the mountain',

It's just that he didn't expect it,

The Yang family would come up with such a big deal,

This definitely exceeded Lu Bu's expectations.

In fact, the amount that Yang Xiu said at the moment,

has exceeded what Yang Biao said before,

This was also after Yang Xiu and Lu Bu came into contact,

Privately made a decision,

He could see that

Lu Bu is definitely a person who is worth investing in and vigorously wooing,

That's why this decision was made on an ad hoc basis.

After Lu Bu was surprised,

There was a look of great joy on his face,

These money and food, for today's merger states,

It's not a huge fortune,

But now that the war is imminent,

With this sum of money,

That's definitely a gesture in the snow.

And this cart of charcoal,

Warm enough for a long time.

"Young Master Yang, please thank Yang Gong for his generosity for me!"

Such a big benefit,

Lu Bu won't pretend to shirk it,

The benefits are in your hands first,

What if Yang Xiu repents.

Yang Xiu calmly accepted Lu Bu's thanks,

He continued:

"After three days, the money, grain and other materials will be directly handed over to the general stationed in Hongnong, and Wen Hou will be asked to inform him in advance."

"It's nature."

Lu Bu hurriedly replied,

He didn't wonder that Yang Xiu was able to do so in such a short period of time,

You can notify the people in the family,

A huge family like the Yang family,

There must be something of their own,

A quick way to deliver a message,

Lu Bu has no intention of exploring this,

Otherwise, it will be a little ignorant.

Yang Xiu then continued:

"I guess that Wen Hou is now in short supply of manpower, Yang Xiu is willing to join Wen Hou's command, and I ask Wen Hou not to dislike it."

Lu Bu raised his eyebrows,

The smile on the corner of his mouth is about to climb up to his eyebrows,

With Yang Xiu's investment,

With his ingenuity,

can make today's Lu Bu Province a lot of trouble, not to mention,

The name of the fourth and third dukes of their Yang family,

But it's a well-known golden signboard.

Just take a look at the fortunes of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu brothers,

to be able to clearly know,

How heavy is this golden signboard.

Cai Yong's help before,

brought countless excellent ministers to Lu Bu,

Now with the addition of Hongnong Yang's,

Lu Bu could already foresee that it would not be long before

It's a beautiful sight of talent.

Lu Bu excitedly raised the teacup in his hand,

Said to Yang Xiu:

"Dezu, I will replace the wine with tea, thank you again!"

Yang Xiu hurriedly poured a cup of tea,

Hands raised above the head,

followed Lu Bu and drank it all,

Then he spoke:

"Wen ...... No, my lord, this is what is in the lower division. ”

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and laughed a few times,

Only then did he open his mouth and say to Yang Xiu:

"Dezu, you really came here for me to send charcoal in the snow, hahahahaha!"

"It is an honor to be able to share the worries of the Lord."

At this moment, where is Yang Xiu still half a point of arrogance,

This discovery made Lu Bu even more excited.

After a moment of silence,

Lu Bu opened his mouth and said:

"Dezu, for the time being, you will follow my side and serve as the head of my Che Cavalry General's Mansion, do you think it's okay?"

Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows when he heard this,

looked at Lu Bu with some surprise,

This has just come into effect,

was able to receive Lu Bu's weight like this,

It was really unexpected by Yang Xiu.

The position of the chief bookkeeper,

Although it is just ordinary clerical work,

But he had access to all the secrets,

It is a position that is difficult for non-cronies to hold,

And the position of the chief bookkeeper is often a springboard,

Able to go out and take charge of the future on its own,

Hold a position of real power.

Yang Xiu's writing is brilliant, familiar with poetry and books,

Although the position of chief bookkeeper is somewhat unusual,

But if you take into account the background of Hongnong Yang behind him,

Such a position is also reasonable.

But the same is the main book,

But there is also a big difference,

If Yang Xiu is allowed to serve as the chief secretary of Fufeng County,

or the chief secretary of any county under Lu Bu,

Even the master book of a state,

That didn't cause Yang Xiu's surprise as usual,

However, Lu Bu made him the chief secretary of the Che Cavalry General's Mansion.

In ancient times, it referred to high-ranking officials (such as the three dukes, generals, generals, etc.),

The establishment of government offices and the selection of their own subordinates.

The three dukes and generals of the Han Dynasty could open a mansion.

There are two types of general Kaifu.

One is the emperor's charter,

The other is the self-reliance of the ministers.

The situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was chaotic,

General Li Dao and others opened the mansion.

It was recorded in the Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Dong Zhuo,

"Dao (Li Dao) moved the car and rode the general, opened the mansion, led the division and the school captain, and faked the festival. General Bihou, General Chouyou, Zhang Ji was the general of Zhendong, and was named the marquis. The government of the government, the government of the government. Ji out of Tun Hongnong. ”

Since then, the conditions for the opening of the province have been relaxed.

Now Lu Bu is named the general of the chariot cavalry,

Just one step away from the Great General,

has been able to open the government and choose his own subordinates,

These people are not in the establishment of the imperial court,

But he is the closest and most trusted person to Lu Bu,

Yang Xiu is just a newcomer,

But to be able to receive this honor,

That's why he was amazed.

He hurriedly got up and made a big salute to Lu Bu,

Then he slowly sat down again.

At this time,

Lu Bu suddenly slapped his head,

This move startled Yang Xiu,

Hurriedly looked up,

"Oh no, I forgot about it!"
