Chapter 349: Mengde's Dilemma (14)
"But in your style, you shouldn't just look for two, right? If someone refuses, or quits halfway, isn't it in vain? Anyway, you have to have a replacement, right? ”
"Oh! You say a substitute? I've thought about it. However, I saw that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu had already agreed, so I didn't think much about it. Of course, if the Chinese team feels necessary, I can also find another one as a substitute, I don't know who the Chinese team wants to pull into the circle? ”
I don't know if Lu Pu was too vigilant, or if he really only found Eryuan Cao.
Huaxing was a fool for a long time, but he couldn't ask about the whereabouts of the "last person".
Seeing this, Huaxing couldn't continue to ask, so he could only give up for the time being, shook his head and laughed:
"Hehe, no, no, I just asked casually, and I didn't look for it. Eat vegetables, eat vegetables ......"
Hua and Lu chatted while eating, but in just twenty minutes, a table of food was eaten by the two of them.
Just as Hua Xing was about to get up to say goodbye, Lu Pu suddenly picked up the wine jug, filled Hua Xing's wine glass, and said a question that made him unprepared with a harmless smile:
"By the way, the Chinese team, there is one more thing for the subordinates to ask! I heard that at Cao Jun's meeting, you offered to go to the town to guard Chen Liu, but is there such a thing? ”
During the discussion in Cao Ying yesterday, Huaxing did say this.
Recalling the scene at that time, the lowest status among the people present was Cao Jun's miscellaneous general.
Lu Pu was able to know about this so quickly, which once again confirmed that among the generals of the Cao army, it was indeed Lu Pu's "accomplice".
Huaxing did not make a public plan before, but now it seems that it is really a wise move.
But at this moment, in front of Lu Pu, Huaxing will definitely not be able to show it.
It didn't take long to see him with a look of surprise, staring at Lu Pu with wide eyes and asking:
"Yo? Can the richest man in Lu be? How did you know that? ”
"Hehe, in Cao Ying, I also arranged a lot of eyeliner, and they will send me back information on time every day. I'm going to know about it, and it's not unusual. Lu Pu explained as he ate his food.
"Huh? That's not right! ”
Hearing this, Hua Xing pretended to be puzzled and frowned, and asked:
"I said this at a high-level meeting, and it is impossible for an ordinary soldier to know about it. In this way, among the generals of Cao Ying, it seems that I am not the only eyeliner? ”
In the face of Huaxing's inquiry, Lu Pu just smiled faintly and denied the other party's speculation on the spot:
"Team Hua laughed! It is impossible to buy the generals of the Cao army by relying on silver taels alone. Lu did try to do this, but none of them succeeded. The news came back from a Cao battalion commander, and he probably heard it from other generals. ”
After a few simple sentences, he listened to Lu Pu's voice and asked Huaxing about Chen Liu:
"Team Hua, what did you mean by saying that? Do you really want to guard Chen Liu, or are you deliberately deceiving Cao Cao? ”
Hua Xing had actually guessed a long time ago that Lu Pu would never easily admit that there were other moles.
Therefore, after listening to this reply, Huaxing was not too disappointed.
Instead, while drinking, he smiled and replied:
"Hehe, when I said this, I actually wanted to fool Cao Cao and ask him not to send troops to Chen Liu. In this way, Chen Liu has become an empty city, and we can easily take it. ”
"Oh, that's what happened!"
"Alas! But what I didn't expect was that our final decision today was to let Cao Cao divide his troops to save Chen! I didn't say that yesterday if I knew that was the case. Hua Xing shook his head and added with a look of remorse.
"Hehe, as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty, and you are not to blame for this."
After waving his hand without mind, he heard Lu Pu say again:
"But then again, you only have 10,000 soldiers and horses, how can you defend Chen Liu? Cao Cao is not a master who can be fooled casually, how did you convince him? ”
Seeing Lu Pu's question so detailed, Hua Xing secretly frowned.
Although he didn't want to explain too much, considering that there were still spies within Cao Jun, he really didn't dare to say anything about this matter.
Because once Huaxing's words are asymmetrical with the news sent back by the other party, it will inevitably arouse Lu Pu's suspicions.
In order to avoid this situation, after a short period of thought, Huaxing could only take the initiative to inform the other party of his plan:
"Oh, that's what you say? Oh, yes! At first, he really didn't believe it. It wasn't until I lied to him that I could borrow some more troops from outside to come back that he reluctantly believed it. ”
"What? Borrowed soldiers? As soon as these words came out, Lu Pu immediately looked puzzled: "Where did you borrow soldiers?" ”
"Hehe, of course it's Hongnong!"
"Hongnong? How is that possible? Lu Pu was full of disbelief and said:
"I remember that at the beginning, Chen Gong had a lot of opinions about you, and he wanted to arrest you and go back to prison, how could they lend you troops?"
"Hehe, you're right!"
Hearing this, he saw Hua Xing with a wicked smile on his face:
"But Cao Cao didn't know! He also thought that I had a good relationship with the Hongnong generals, so he agreed to the matter on the spot. said that if I could borrow troops to come back, I would go to guard Chenliu; If you can't borrow it, that's a different story...... But then again, thanks to this excuse, I was able to leave Xuchang this morning without resistance. Otherwise, it will not be easy to go out of the city and meet with you. ”
Hearing Hua Xing say this, Lu Pucai nodded lightly, apparently believing the other party's words:
"Oh! It turned out that it was on the grounds of borrowing troops? Hehe, kind of interesting. In that case, whether Cao Jun saved Chen Liu or not, there is still no way to know? ”
"That's right." Hua Xing nodded and replied:
"I'm sure I won't be able to move in for reinforcements. Therefore, whether to send troops to Chen Liu at that time depends on Cao Cao's intentions. ”
"Well, I see. Ay? So according to what you say, you can't go back to Xuchang these days? ”
"Isn't it? Alas! In order to prove my lie, I had to go to Hongnong myself. When I come back, it will be six or seven days at the earliest. ”
"Okay, then please take care of the Chinese team!"
After figuring out what happened to Chen Liu, Lu Pu's face returned to his former affinity, and he clasped his fists at Huaxing and said:
"When you return to the city, remember to inform Sun Bao, and we can start the next step. Then let's get here today! ”
Seeing that everything that should be said was almost done, Hua and Lu walked out of the house one after the other, and today's secret meeting was officially over.
Seeing that Lu Pu still had something to stay to deal with, Huaxing took the lead in riding on horseback.
After saying goodbye, he hurried to the west, but after a few breaths, he disappeared at the end of the road.
But this time, Huaxing didn't go far!
