Pan Jinlian was helpless, thinking of bitterness first and then sweetness, she could only first taoguang and do what Lu Bu wanted.

But when it comes to remuneration, she will never ask for it, and if she gets paid, her nature will change. If she really becomes, as Lu Bu said, she is a business partner, then everything she has done will be in vain.

Sending Pan Jinlian away, Lu Bu let out a long sigh of relief: "Finally gone..." ”

Sitting on the couch, Lu Bu recalled what had just happened, and felt more and more that it was the most correct choice to let Pan Jinlian manage the brothel and infiltrate the brothel into the territory of the princes from all walks of life.

Thinking about Pan Jinlian's fox kung fu, it is absolutely no problem to teach batch after batch of high-IQ prostitutes.

Then let these high-IQ prostitutes charm those high-ranking officials and get valuable information.

In this way, won't all the latest developments of the princes in the world be mastered? There are also the thoughts of those officials, whether they are loyal to the princes of all walks of life, whether it is possible to persuade them to surrender, or whether they can use them, they can all know it well.

And this information can only be found in brothels, and if they go to the court, in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, everything they have to say will change. Even if they are sent to work, the information they get is all false.

"Father-in-law, what do you think about Pan Jinlian's matter?" The next day, Lu Bu found Xiao He.

"What's the matter?"

"That's what I just said, about opening a brothel." Lu Bu was embarrassed. He just talked for a long time, but he didn't expect Xiao He to be not interested at all.

"It is indeed rare to use prostitutes to spy on intelligence, and the princes of all walks of life will definitely not think of it, but..."

"It's because it's rare, it's not easy to expose."

Xiao He continued: "But! What if people don't go to brothels? For example, if I don't go to a brothel, even if you open a brothel to my doorstep, I don't even look at it, how can you get information? ”

Lu Bu sat down and said, "That's why I came to discuss with my father-in-law, and invested a sum of money in the early stage to make friends with powerful people and make a reputation for a brothel." Plainly for soliciting, secretly, there is another means to obtain information. And our brothel can't be too cheesy, it must be high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade, so that people can feel that only people with noble status can come here. In this way, aren't the people who go to the brothel all those rich and officialdom? ”

Xiao He thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: "It makes sense." ”

"How much does it cost to open this brothel?" Xiao He asked.

Lu Bu smiled: "It's not much, just give me two million dollars." ”

"Not much? And two million dollars? ”

Xiao He sneered, and there was a pain in his flesh...

Two million dollars can help countless people in the disaster area.

"Why are you hesitating?" Lu Bu was also speechless, as the lord of Xuzhou, he didn't have the right to raise money, and he had to get some money with Xiao He's consent. It just doesn't make sense.

"Okay, I've got it for you." Xiao He gritted his teeth.

Holding the order stamped by Xiao He, Lu Bu went to the treasury to withdraw money.

On this day, Lu Bu personally handed over two million copper coins to Pan Jinlian's hands and said: "Jinlian, it's up to you next, I hope that the Yingchun Pavilion in Xiapi City will be brilliant in your hands." ”

"It's just a brothel, and it's still glorious..." Pan Jinlian covered her mouth and smiled.

"Can you be serious, I'll get down to business."

Pan Jinlian said: "Okay, Brother Fengxian, you can rest assured, I will definitely do a better job in Yingchun Pavilion." ”

"Well, your first task is to attract Chen Gong in."

"Huh? Mr. Gongtai is such a serious person, and he is not lustful, how can I attract him to him? ”

"It's because it's so difficult that I asked you to do it. Otherwise, I invested so much money, wouldn't it be wasted? ”

Pan Jinlian tilted her head and thought about it, and said confidently: "Okay, please wait and see from Brother Fengxian, I will definitely complete this task." ”

"Well, then I'll wait for your good news." Lu Bu shrugged his shoulders and turned to leave the inn. He also began to look forward to it in his heart, what kind of scene would appear after seeing Chen Gong enter the brothel?

In the winter months, the weather is completely cooler.

After Ji Ling's army arrived at the border of Donghai County, they did not move forward, but found a relatively strong city to garrison.

Because Ji Ling lost more than 40,000 iron cavalry, his prestige in the army plummeted, and many generals at the rank of captain preferred to obey the orders of Zhang Xun and Lei Bo, which made Ji Ling's situation very embarrassing.

Especially Zhang Xun and Lei Bo's headquarters soldiers and horses, they are not convinced by Ji Ling at all. Now the army that Ji Ling can mobilize is only 10,000 chariots, and some weak brigades with poor equipment. Add up to 20,000 logistics soldiers who are responsible for escorting grain and grass.

This made Ji Ling's northern expedition extremely difficult.

At this time, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun received Cao Cao's military orders. Let them enter Xuzhou and administer Pengcheng after 15 days. But Cao Ren and Xiahoudun were eager to make meritorious contributions, so how could they wait for fifteen days. On the second day after receiving the military order, they personally led 50,000 elites to attack Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xi County.

Liu Bei rose up and fought fiercely with the armies of Cao Ren and Xiahoudun in the area of Zhixian.

On this day, Liu Bei suddenly received a letter from Cao Cao. The letter stated that the imperial court had issued a document to condemn thieves, and was determined to attack Lü Bu, hoping that Liu Bei would lead an army to help in the war. And Cao Cao also promised to return Xuzhou to Liu Bei after taking Xuzhou.

"Let me help in the war, but attack me, shameless thief, am I really an idiot?" Liu Bei's face darkened, and he threw the letter into the furnace, and the flames were raging, burning the letter into ashes.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu, and Zhao Yun all showed anger on their faces.

"Although Cao's army is strong, it is only suitable for field warfare, our army refuses to defend the city, and they don't want to get by." Zhao Yun said.

"Zilong, immediately send someone to Xiapi City and ask Lu Bu for help." Liu Bei thought about it and commanded.

"No."

Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said, "As for the mere 50,000 Cao Army, do you still need to ask Lu Bu for help?" Wouldn't it be for Lu Bu to underestimate? ”

Guan Yu said: "The third brother doesn't know, these 50,000 Cao troops are just Cao Cao's vanguard troops, and after a while, Cao Cao will definitely lead the army to come." At that time, we could not resist. ”

What Yun Chang said was extremely true. Since he was determined to face Cao Cao, he should make preparations as soon as possible. Besides, Xuzhou belongs to Lu Bu, he didn't come to defend against the enemy, but he told us to fight hard here, but there is such a reason? ”

Due to the reckless behavior of Cao Ren and Xiahoudun, Cao Cao's letters did not play any role. Not only did it not work, but it also made Liu Bei stand more firmly on Lu Bu's side.

The border war continues, and Xuzhou is in Picheng, but it is thriving and lively.

Pan Jinlian took two million copper coins and bought the Yingchun Pavilion, and after design and decoration, it was reopened!

At the door of the brothel, there is a very eye-catching couplet, which was written by Lu Bu himself.

Shanglian: Only true heroes can get here.

Downlink: It's a romantic celebrity don't want to miss it.

(The upper link is excerpted from Xiaolan's anthology, and the lower link is my own thought, see laugh.) ）

As soon as this couplet was hung out, coupled with the high-end, atmospheric, and high-grade brothel attic, it attracted hundreds of people to stop and watch.
