Chapter 160: It's clear that it's a cheat
LΓΌ Bu seized Shouchun, and the soldiers searched from house to house.
All the women and strong men who were a little beautiful were driven to a specific place in the city by the soldiers, waiting to be sent to Xuzhou.
To break Shouchun, Lu Bu of course wanted to live in Yuan Shu's palace.
After Yuan Shu became the emperor, in order to satisfy his selfish desires and show his prestige as an emperor, he expropriated the local area so violently that all parts of Huainan were impoverished.
Shouchun has not developed for several years, but Yuan Shu's palace is splendid.
Lu Bu stood outside the palace gate, and he felt a compelling aura of wealth rushing towards him.
Walking into the palace and looking around, Lu Bu said to Zhang Liao and the others who followed behind him: "Yuan Shu is really good at amassing money, I have been here in the past, but I just came and walked in a hurry, and I really didn't take a good look like this." This will take a closer look, and his palace is really a bit imposing. β
"If it weren't for the palace's strong spirit, Huainan wouldn't have been impoverished to such a state." Zhang Liao shook his head.
"It's not poor, at least there's a lot of good stuff here." Lu Bu grinned: "Send some soldiers to clean up the palace, and take everything that can be taken away." β
"What you can't take away is a fire?" Zhang Liao asked.
"Burn it?" Lu Bu asked in surprise, "Why do you want to burn it?" β
"If you don't burn it, will it be left to Cao Cao?" Zhao Yun was also very surprised.
"Of course you can't burn it." Lu Bu asked them: "Do you think Xu Du is far away from Shouchun, or is our Pengcheng far away from Shouchun?" β
"It's about the same." Zhao Yun replied: "It's just that the road from Pengcheng to Shouchun is easier to take. β
"The road is easy to walk, even if the distance is the same, the days spent on the army are different." Lu Bu said: "Today's allies may be enemies tomorrow. Huainan is too close to Shouchun, how can others sleep soundly on the couch? Once something happens, the first thing we have to take is here! A fire burned Shouchun, wouldn't it have to be rebuilt? β
Lu Bu took Shouchun, and Cao Cao didn't say anything yet, so he considered turning against him in the future.
Zhao Yun and the others looked at each other blankly, and Lu Bu greeted: "Let's go, go to Yuan Shu's harem and have a look, I heard that there are many Huainan people, and you may be able to find a few eye-catching." β
That night, Lu Bu stayed in Yuan Shu's former dormitory.
The bedding in the dormitory was very soft, but Lu Bu always felt as if something was missing when he sat on it.
With his legs stretched flat, he finally figured it out.
The bedding is laid directly on the ground, and the ground is flat on all sides.
Lying on the ground and sleeping, most of the next morning will be sore.
If it weren't for the crusade against Huainan, Lu Bu would have already started to make wooden beds.
Looking down at the bedding, he patted it lightly a few times, secretly regretting in his heart, if such a soft bedding was placed on the bed, it would definitely be very comfortable to sleep for a night.
Lu Bu was thinking about returning to Pengcheng to make a bed, and the guard outside the door reported: "Qi Wenhou, Xun Gong asks to see." β
Sitting upright on the bedding, Lu Bu ordered: "Please Xun Gong." β
The guard gently pushed the door open.
Xun You then walked in.
Seeing Lu Bu sitting on the bedding, he asked in surprise, "Wen Hou is going to sleep?" β
"The siege is hard, and the bones all over my body seem to be soft." Lu Bu replied: "I took Wen Yuan and others to look in the palace for a long time, but I didn't see a decent beauty." I'm also feeling a little bored and plan to go to bed earlier. β
Xun You's head is full of black lines.
He clearly remembered that Lu Bu led his troops to attack the city, and the defenders did not resist at all.
Attacking Shouchun, the only thing Lu Bu did to show his physical strength was to climb the city wall in person.
If this is also hard, I don't know what he would say if he really experienced a fight.
muttered in his heart, but Xun You wouldn't say it.
He replied with a smile: "It is really hard for Wen Hou to take Shouchun, I have followed Cao Gong for many years, and I have not seen anyone who can repeatedly capture the city without blood." This crusade against Huainan, Wenhou opened my eyes. β
"Xun Gong is too praised." Lu Bu said, "Please sit down and speak." β
Xun You sat down: "I don't know when Wen Hou plans to return to Xuzhou?" β
"Cao Gong's army is not here, if I leave Xuzhou, I am afraid that Zhang Xun and others will fight back." Lu Bu said: "Duke Xun didn't bring many soldiers and horses. β
"I didn't bring it, but Shouchun is not without soldiers." Xun You replied: "At the beginning, Wenhou borrowed the Qingzhou Army from General Xiahou, and now Shouchun has broken ......."
"The soldier was borrowed from General Xiahou, of course I have to return it to him?" Xun You revealed that he wanted to take back the Qingzhou Army, and Lu Bu stuffed him back with a word.
The remaining half of the words were swallowed back by Xun You.
He asked Lu Bu: "The Qingzhou army is under the command of Cao Gong, if General Xiahou doesn't come, will it be difficult to return it if he doesn't wait for it?" β
"Of course." Lu Bu said solemnly: "Whoever I borrowed it from, of course I have to pay it back." β
"Although it is said that the Qingzhou Army is borrowed from General Xiahou, but if Cao Gong wants to use it, won't Wenhou refuse to pay it back?" Xun You asked.
"Xun Gong also knows that I am a sincere person." Lu Bu said: "I also know that the Qingzhou Army is under the command of Cao Gong, but the soldiers and horses are borrowed from General Xiahou after all. In case I pay it back, and General Xiahou asks me for it in the future, where will I get another Qingzhou army out? β
What Lu Bu said was reasonable, Xun You knew that he was cheating, but he couldn't find a suitable reason to refute it.
"Just now Xun Gong asked me when I would return to Xuzhou, I thought about it, it is really inappropriate to always stay in Shouchun, and I will leave tomorrow or the day after tomorrow." Lu Bu got up: "It's not early, I'll send Xun Gong." β
didn't give Xun You a chance to speak at all, Lu Bu stood up and was about to send off the guests.
He didn't mean to leave as soon as possible just now, he suddenly decided to leave the day after tomorrow, Xun You immediately understood that Lu Bu wanted to rely on the Qingzhou Army not to return.
Once Cao Cao arrived, Xiahoudun would most likely follow him into Huainan.
When Xiahou asked for the Qingzhou army, and Cao Cao was present, Lu Bu had to pay it back, and if he didn't pay it back, he had to pay it back.
It was clear that he wanted to keep the Qingzhou Army in his hands, how could he let himself fall into passivity?
Xun You was about to say something, but Lu Bu had already stepped forward and grabbed his arm, with a smile on his face: "It's a little late, I'll send Xun Gong out." β
"I don't need Wen Hou to send it personally, I have something to ......say," Xun You tried to say what he was holding in his heart.
How could Lu Bu give him a chance to speak: "Since Xun Gong doesn't need me to send it, I will no longer be polite." β
He shouted outside the door: "Come on, send Xun Gong!" β
The guard guarding the door entered the house, bowed down and said to Xun You: "Xun Gong, please!" β
The guard waited aside, and Xun You knew that no matter what he wanted to say, it would be impossible to say it again.
After saying goodbye, he walked out of the room, and Lu Bu's voice came from the room: "Order the soldiers, bring everything you should bring, and try to leave for Pengcheng tomorrow!" β
