When Lu Bu came to the front hall, Mao Jue had been waiting for a while.

Mao Jiusheng was thin and withered, and Lu Bu was nearly two heads taller than him.

Seeing Lu Bu, Mao Jue bowed and saluted: "I've seen Chu Hou." ”

"Mao Gong." Lu Bu had a smile on his face and said to him, "It must be very hard to come from afar, please sit down and talk." ”

Mao Jue answered, and then sat down.

After taking his seat, he asked Lu Bu: "I heard that Wen Hou plans to send all the families of Xuzhou to Jianye, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

"It seems that Cao Gong got the news." Lu Bu asked: "Duke Mao came to Pengcheng this time to question on the order of Duke Cao, right?" ”

Lu Bu picked out the topic clearly, and Mao Jue didn't plan to go around the bend again.

He asked Lu Bu, "Chu Hou suddenly relocated everyone to Jianye, is there nothing that needs to be explained?" ”

"Explain?" Lu Bu smiled and shook his head: "I explained, will the Mao Guild believe it?" Even if Mao Gong believes it, will Cao Gong believe it? ”

Mao Jue was stunned by his question.

Before coming, Cao Cao had already understood that Lu Bu had moved his family members up and down Pengcheng, perhaps with the intention of being detrimental to the Cao family, and Cao Cao was ready to crusade against Lu Bu.

persuaded Lu Bu to leave his family members behind, just to ask him to throw a rat trap, and when facing the coalition of Cao and Yuan's two families, he couldn't deal with it calmly in order to stabilize the back house.

Although he was stunned by Lu Bu's question, Mao Jue was Cao Cao's staff after all.

He only thought about it for a moment, and then said to Lu Bu: "If Chu Hou doesn't say it, I can't figure out the reason at any time, if Chu Hou says it, maybe I'll believe it." As long as I believe it, I will go back and talk to Cao Gongyi, most likely I will be able to make him believe it. ”

"If I say that I will send all the family members from Xuzhou away in order to cooperate with Cao Gong and the Yuan family to fight to the death, does Mao Gong believe it or not?" Lu Bu asked in a low voice.

Mao Jue replied: "Chu Hou said this, of course it is credible. It's just that I think there's another possibility. ”

Staring at Mao Jue's face, Lu Bu asked, "What else does Mao Gong think is possible?" ”

"Another possibility is that the Marquis of Chu plans to rebel against the Cao family and fight to the death with the lord." Mao Jue said: "After all, the Marquis of Chu claims allegiance to the lord, and he has not really done anything for the Cao family until now. I wouldn't find it strange to make these deployments in secret. ”

When Mao Jue said this, Lu Bu always looked at him with a smile on his face.

After he finished speaking, Lu Bu asked, "What Mao Gong said should also be what Cao Gong meant?" ”

"I don't know what the lord means, and Chu Hou's plan is just speculation." Mao Jue replied: "If there is anything wrong, please forgive Chu Hou." ”

"Forgive me?" Lu Bu smiled coldly: "Mao Gong said such things that made me bear the name of disloyalty and injustice, and you still want me to forgive me?" ”

Leaning forward slightly, the smile on Lu Bu's face became a little weird: "Mao Gong came to Pengcheng this time, did you want to tell me that in fact, Cao Gong was a little jealous of me, and he didn't do anything so far, just waiting for an opportunity?" ”

Mao Jue's face suddenly became a little bad, he suddenly got up, glared at Lu Bu angrily and asked, "What does Chu Hou mean by saying this?" ”

"What can I mean?" Lu Bu's smile was even more weird than just now: "I just want to ask Mao Gong, is it that Cao Gong is already planning to do something to me?" ”

"Chu Hou said this, does he really want to turn his back on the lord?" Mao Jue's eyes widened: "It seems that the lord's guess is really right......"

"It's enough to have Mao Gong's words." Lu Bu stood up unhurriedly: "I did plan to cooperate with Cao Gong to deal with the Yuan family, but Mao Gong came to Pengcheng this time, but I had to make another plan. ”

"What do you want?" Finding that Lu Bu had something to say, Mao Jue suddenly became nervous.

"It's not that I turned my back on the Cao family, but that the Cao family intends to be unfavorable to me." Lu Bu snorted coldly: "At the beginning, I was willing to serve Cao Mengde, not because I couldn't fight him, but because I felt that the world would be unified sooner or later." In terms of the general trend of the world, he is most likely to be unified. Now it seems that I really saw the wrong person. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bu walked up to Mao Jue and looked down at him: "Since Cao Mengde has the intention to be unfavorable to me, I can only give it a go." No matter who he unites, as long as he intends to deal with me, I will never let him succeed so easily. ”

Lu Bu lowered his head, Mao Jue raised his face, and the two looked at each other.

Staring at Mao Jue's eyes, Lu Bu always had a weird smile on the corner of his mouth: "There is one more thing I have to remind you, don't stare at me like this, in case you make me unhappy, I will gouge out your eyeballs." ”

The brighter he smiled, the more Mao Jue felt empty.

Licking his lips, Mao Jue subconsciously turned his face to the side, not daring to look at Lu Bu again.

Seeing that he turned his face, Lu Bu snorted, turned around and walked out.

When he was stared at by Lu Bu, Mao Jue only felt that he was oppressed by heavy pressure, and his whole body was about to be out of breath.

It wasn't until Lu Bu walked away that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Leaving the front hall, Lu Bu said to Sun Ce, who was waiting outside: "Mao Jue's visit this time is to give me a good opportunity to turn my face with Cao Mengde. ”

Sun Ce nodded: "Did Chu Hou think of how to deal with it?" After all, Cao Mengde has a wide range of soldiers and many resourceful people by his side, so he is not so easy to deal with. ”

"Sooner or later, Cao Mengde and I will have a fight." Lu Bu replied: "Actually, you and I are very clear that this battle is inevitable. ”

He then asked Sun Ce: "How is the training of the trouble-relieving soldiers?" ”

"It hasn't been long since the annoyance soldiers were assembled, and although there is some progress compared to the past, it has not reached the level I wanted." Sun Ce replied: "But when the Marquis of Chu wants to use them, I can take them to battle. ”

Smiling slightly, Lu Bu didn't speak, just patted his arm gently.

Back in the back house, Lu Bu went directly to the study.

Diao Chan and the others have been sent away, and it is Lu Bu who is responsible for escorting, and he has also sent others to follow him in secret, even if Cao Cao has deployed, it is not so easy to do anything to the family members up and down Xuzhou.

Lu Bu really wasn't particularly worried about the family members who had left.

Back in the study, after Lu Bu sat down, he picked up the half-finished strong crossbow again.

It's just that I've seen the content of the Zhuge crossbow from the information, and Lu Bu didn't get the production method of the repeating crossbow.

The crossbow has begun to take shape, but he has not yet found a way to automatically wind the crossbow.

Although he was stuck in the process of winding the strong crossbow, Lu Bu did not give up.

He knew that there must be a way to make a repeating crossbow, but he hadn't found the right way yet.

After looking at the crossbow for a while, a method suddenly came to Lu Bu's mind.
