At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the distillation and purification technology of liquor was not perfect, and no matter how mellow the liquor slurry was, it was turbid.

You can't tell from the color of the syrup that it's good or bad.

When the wine was entered, Xun You only felt sour and astringent, and couldn't bear to squirt out "poof".

Looking at Lu Bu again, after the wine was in his mouth, his Adam's apple moved and he swallowed it whole.

After drinking, he smacked his lips twice, as if he was still unsatisfied.

Xun You squirted out the wine, and Lu Bu looked at him in surprise: "Does Xun Gong feel that the wine is difficult to eat?" ”

"It's sour and astringent, and you drink this on weekdays?" Xun You asked with a frown.

"That's good." Lu Bu smiled: "Even if it is such a bad wine, if it weren't for Xun Gong coming, I wouldn't be willing to take it out." ”

"I knew the bitterness of the temperature, so I brought some wine." Xun You said: "Even if the wine is inferior, it is better than these." ”

"If Xun Gong has a heart, it would be good to bring some food." Lu Bu said: "The soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou are not hungry, but I can have good wine to taste, don't I understand the suffering of the people?" ”

"But it's not like wine, it's like vinegar." Xun You licked his lips and said with a frown.

"Where will it be vinegar, it's just a little sour." An embarrassed expression appeared on Lu Bu's face.

Xun You was speechless for a while.

Where is the wine that Lu Bu used to entertain him a little sour, it is simply so sour that it is difficult to eat, okay?

"It's really hard to wait." Xun You said: "When I go back, I will ask someone to send a few bags of grain and a few jars of wine. ”

"Thank you, Xun Gong." After thanking Lu Bu, he looked at Chen Gong: "Wait until Duke Xun sends wine and grain, and the public platform will share one point, and the wine will be given to the generals to taste, and the grain will be distributed to the soldiers to eat." ”

"What I gave to Wen Hou, why did Wen Hou give it away?" Lu Bu couldn't see how Xun You couldn't see it, he asked in surprise.

"It's hard for the generals to get drunk." Lu Bu replied: "Since there is a fine wine, of course we have to let them taste it." Xuzhou is short of grain, and I can't eat a few bags of grain alone, so of course I have to distribute it to the soldiers. ”

"Wen Hou is really sympathetic to his subordinates." Xun Yu replied without being salty.

Of course, he didn't believe that Xuzhou's lack of food had reached such a situation.

There is no surplus grain to make wine in Thaksin.

To say that the soldiers had no rations, he really didn't believe it!

The ones that Cao Cao allocated earlier may really be eaten.

But now that it is the harvest season, even if there is a shortage of food, it is impossible to feed the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou.

He suddenly had a year in his heart, Lu Bu was crying poor!

Only by crying poor, he has all kinds of excuses not to send troops to Huainan.

"If Cao Gong transfers food, will Wen Hou send troops?" Xun You asked.

"Of course!" Lu Bu immediately said: "As long as the food is enough, I will immediately send troops to attack Huainan!" ”

"I'll take my leave!" Xun You stood up: "I will truthfully report the predicament of Xuzhou to Cao Gongyu, and the grain should not be sent in a long time!" ”

Lu Bu also hurriedly stood up: "Duke Xun has just arrived, how can you say that you can leave?" It's never too late to stay for a few days and leave! ”

"There is a priority, and the crusade against Huainan is the top priority at the moment." Xun You replied: "Wait for Wen to break through Huainan, and it will not be too late for me to come and stay again." ”

Xun You insisted on leaving, and Lu Bu and Chen Gong had no choice but to send him to the gate of the official mansion.

Seeing him leave, Chen Gong said, "It seems that Wen Hou can't hold it off this time." ”

Lu Bu pouted: "Xun Gongda is really a character, he sees that I am delaying, and would rather return to Xudu as soon as possible to ask Cao Cao to send grain and grass again, rather than give me a chance to breathe." ”

"Wen Hou really plans to fight Huainan?" Chen Gong asked again.

"Cao Cao is in a hurry to attack Huainan, and the grain and grass sent this time will not be too small." Lu Bu replied: "If I push again, I'm afraid that trouble will cause trouble to Xuzhou." ”

Xun Yu arrived in Pengcheng and didn't stay even one night, so he chose to return to Xudu on the same day.

Pengcheng is not very far from Xudu.

The journey was fast, but he returned to Xudu in three or five days.

Hearing that Xun You went and returned, Cao Cao was very surprised.

did not meet in the front hall, he asked Xun You to be invited to the study.

There were only Cao Cao and Xun You in the study.

"Counting the schedule, Gongda should have just arrived in Pengcheng, why did he come back again?" Cao Cao was full of doubts.

"I came back on the day I arrived in Pengcheng, so Cao Gong felt that the back and forth was faster." Xun Yu replied.

"Lu Fengxian refuses to send troops?" Cao Cao's face suddenly turned ugly.

"He didn't say no." Xun You replied: "It's just all kinds of complaints, saying that they are hosting a wine banquet to invite me, and there are only a few plates of boiled wild vegetables on the table." Especially the wine ......"

Xun You shook his head with a smile, and Cao Cao asked, "What's wrong with the wine?" ”

"It's sour and astringent, except for the faint smell of wine, I really don't dare to say it's wine."

"Did Lu Fengxian drink it?" Cao Cao asked.

"As soon as I handed over a glass, I drank it very freely." Xun You replied: "This time I went to Pengcheng, I think he is very different from before. ”

"Of course." Cao Cao's face was cold, and his tone revealed a hint of jealousy: "Lu Fengxian is a few years older than me, and suddenly he was young overnight, and he actually tricked me into agreeing to marry my daughter to him." If it was no different, how could I not recognize him? ”

"That's not what I'm talking about." Xun You replied: "I always feel that Lu Fengxian today is the same as in the past. ”

"How?" Cao Cao obviously felt it too, and he looked at Xun You.

"In the past, Lu Feng was a seer who forgot his righteousness, and many times he did things recklessly." Xun You said: "Cao Gong also knows that he is ambitious and talented, and he can't achieve great things at all. And Lu Fengxian, who I went to Pengcheng to see this time, is not as simple as becoming a teenager. His heart and foresight are not comparable to those in the past, and Cao Gong has to be extremely careful. ”

"Do you really think so?" Cao Cao asked.

"Absolutely." Xun Yu replied.

Cao Cao had the same feeling for a long time, but he never mentioned it to anyone.

Lu Bu was almost killed by him at the beginning, and he also came to Xu Du to surrender to him.

If it was known that he was actually suspicious of Lu Bu, wouldn't it be a joke?

Xun You is not an outsider, and Cao Cao is not afraid to reveal his thoughts in front of him: "Gongda's opinion coincides with mine, in your opinion, what should I do about this matter?" ”

"I just want to ask Cao Gong to give him some food and wine." Xun Yu replied.

"Gongda reminded me to be wary of him, why do you still need to transfer grain, grass and wine?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

"Lu Fengxian refused to send troops, the only reason was that there was not enough food and grass." Xun You said: "Gong Cao sent him grain and grass to see if he had anything to say." ”

"Who's going to escort the grain and grass?" Cao Cao asked again.

"I'll escort it myself." Xun You replied: "If Lu Fengxian refuses to send troops, I will send the grain and grass back to Xudu." ”

"Can you get it back?" Cao Cao shook his head.

"As long as he refuses to send troops, I will definitely be able to bring back grain and grass." Xun Yu replied confidently.
