Chapter 187: I Just Want to Live

Cheng Yu had already entered Pengcheng and was waiting outside the gate of Lu Bu's residence.

Lu Bu, accompanied by Chen Gong, went out to greet him.

Seeing Cheng Yu, he smiled and bowed: "Why is Cheng Gong here?" ”

"It's not that Wen Hou is in trouble." Cheng Yu returned the salute with a smile: "I sent so much coal to the lord, and the lord was very happy when he saw it, but he felt that Wen Hou gave less, so I asked me to come to Pengcheng and ask Wen Hou to give more." ”

"Coal is very hard to get." Lu Bu had a bitter face: "I have mobilized a lot of people, and I can only get so much every day." The 30,000 Qingzhou troops only exchanged for 200 truckloads of coal, and Wen Hou was so bitter to give the yuan to deceive. ”

"How could I lie to him." Lu Bu replied with an innocent face: "I promised him two hundred carts of coal every year......

"Coal is used for burning, how long is it enough for two hundred carts to burn?" Cheng Yu said with a smile: "According to the meaning of the lord, it is unreasonable to not have 20,000 cars every year." ”

"The entire Pengcheng coal mine can only produce a few hundred cars a year." Lu Bu's expression was even more sad: "Cao Gong wants 20,000 cars, and I really can't afford it." Even if it's two hundred carts, I still have to pay the craftsmen ......."

"What Wen Hou wants is nothing more than money." Cheng Yu replied: "The lord said, as long as the offer is not unacceptable, you can give some to Wen Hou." ”

"We'll talk about that later." Cheng Yu came to Pengcheng, obviously intending to ask for benefits, and Lu Bu didn't want to dwell on this topic anymore, so he retreated and asked him to go to the official mansion.

Cheng Yu was not Xiahoudun, of course he saw that Lu Bu didn't want to dwell on this topic.

Following Lu Bu into the official mansion, Cheng Yu said: "Pengcheng was already a dead city at the beginning, but what I saw this time is thriving, Wen Hou is really not an ordinary person, and he can bring Pengcheng back to life in such a short time." ”

"It's a pity that the people who were slaughtered in the first place can't come back from the dead." Lu Bu said: "I can resurrect Pengcheng, but I can't resurrect many men, women, and children!" ”

Cheng Yu didn't say anything, he also had a part in the massacre of Pengcheng Cao Cao, not to mention that the whole world thought that Cao Cao did it, even if he exonerated Cao Cao, it was impossible to convince everyone.

Many times, the more you explain, the more people will think that you are trying to hide something.

"I know that thing was actually done by Liu Xuande." Lu Bu sighed: "It's a pity that Cao Gong bears a bad reputation for him!" ”

Cheng Yu looked at him in surprise: "Wen Hou heard about it from Yuan Rang?" ”

"Of course." Lu Bu replied: "When I was trapped in Xiapi, it was impossible for me to know what happened in Pengcheng. ”

"What Yuan Rang says, what does Wen Hou believe?" Cheng Yu smiled slightly: "Wouldn't you suspect that he lied?" ”

"Yuan Rang is kind, and he will not lie to me." Lu Bu smiled: "If Cheng Gong explained it to me, I might have some doubts. ”

He then added: "Cheng Gong is a wise man, and he takes into account the interests of Cao Gong when he speaks and acts." Speaking of Pengcheng's matter, of course, he will deliberately take off for Cao Gong. Yuan Rang is different, he is a military general, and he will speak much more upright. Many times he will be outspoken, and even if he lies, there will be loopholes in his words. Yuan makes people like that more trustworthy! ”

"Wen Hou said this, I listen to it." Cheng Yu said with a calm smile: "No wonder I am convinced that the lord did not personally slaughter Peng Cheng, it turned out to be because of Yuan Rang." ”

"It's also Wen Hou who is honest, so General Yuan Rang will put his heart into his heart." Chen Gong next to him said: "General Yuan let him come to Pengcheng, and he got along well with Wen Hou. ”

"Oh?" Cheng Yu asked, "Could it be that Yuan Rang came here and didn't say what he was for?" ”

"What else can I for?" Lu Bu pouted: "For the Qingzhou Army." ”

"Since Wen Hou knows that it is for the Qingzhou Army, how can he still get along with him?" Cheng Yu asked: "Shouldn't you set up stumbling blocks everywhere and try to prevent him from bringing the Qingzhou Army back?" ”

What Cheng Yu said was exactly what Lu Bu had done to Xiahoudun.

Lu Bu smiled: "Cheng Gongyan is serious, how can I give him any stumbling block, it is Yuan Rang who sympathizes with my difficulties and is willing to lend me the Qingzhou Army for another ten years." ”

"Two hundred truckloads of coal every year in exchange for ten years of allegiance to the Qingzhou Army." Cheng Yu shook his head: "General Yuan Rang is really kind and pitiful!" ”

"Cheng Gong said this about General Yuanrang, if he hears it, he must be very depressed." Lu Bu said with a smile: "If you don't know the Gong, you can rest assured, neither I nor the Gongtai will tell him!" ”

Cheng Yu laughed: "So I am taking on the favor of Wen Houtian." ”

"Not really." Lu Bu blinked his eyes twice: "I just beg Cheng Gong not to tell Cao Gong what he saw in Pengcheng." It can be said that what matters is that it is better to open and close one eye if it is not too important. ”

"It shouldn't matter?" Cheng Yu asked: "I don't know what Wen Hou said is not very important, what do you mean?" ”

"For example, I have a few more beauties here." Lu Bu smiled: "Cheng Gong also knows that I don't love anything else, but I love beauties." After Pengcheng, there are so many beautiful women, if Cao Gong knows, he wants me and I refuse to give it, wouldn't he provoke him to beat me? ”

Cheng Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Wen Hou rest assured, the lord will never use swords and soldiers against Xuzhou for a few women." The main public soldier has always had a good reason. ”

He then lowered his voice: "Unless Wen Hou does something that the lord can't bear." ”

"Just like the Battle of Xiapi?" Lu Bu asked: "In order to vent Liu Xuande's anger, send troops to Xuzhou to beat me?" ”

Lu Bu mentioned the battle of Xiapi again, and Cheng Yu asked: "Could it be that Marquis Wen still remembers the original lord's crusade against Xuzhou?" ”

"I don't hold a grudge." Lu Bu shook his head: "If you are weak, you will be beaten, this is an eternal truth." At the beginning, I was weak and did not have many soldiers and horses under my command, so it was reasonable to be beaten. ”

"If Wen Hou becomes strong one day, will it be possible to be an enemy of the lord?" Cheng Yu's questions are very tricky, no matter how Lu Bu answers, he can find loopholes in them.

What he didn't expect was that Lu Bu actually said very frankly: "I joined Cao Gong, but Cao Gong didn't really treat me." No one can say what the future holds. ”

The thief grinned at Cheng Yu, and Lu Bu said again: "Hebei Yuan Benchu attacked Gongsun Zhan, and he will send troops south sooner or later." Cao Gong is in Henan, Yuan Benchu is in Hebei, and the Cao and Yuan families seem to be going to fight......"

"What do you mean?" Cheng Yu's face turned cold.

"It's not interesting." Lu Bu pursed his lips: "I just want to live." ”

Lu Bu's meaning is already very clear, once the Cao Yuan family starts a war, whoever gives him the most benefits will vote to whomever he wants.

Cheng Yu's face suddenly turned not very good: "Could it be that Wen Hou plans to turn his back on the lord?" ”
