Chapter 49: Encountering Dong Cheng

Since coming to Xudu, Lu Bu has analyzed Liu Bei more than once.

At first, Cao Cao didn't care, and only thought it was a festival between Lu Bu and Liu Bei.

As Lu Bu's analysis deepened and increased, Cao Cao also had vague suspicions about Liu Bei.

"When is the little general going to leave?" Cao Cao asked.

"If Gong Cao allows it, I want to go back early tomorrow morning."

After a moment of silence, Cao Cao nodded: "Then I will send you out of the city early tomorrow morning." ”

"I came to Xudu this time, firstly, to present the jade seal of the country to Duke Cao, and secondly, to show Duke Cao his uncle's heart." Lu Bu said: "The matter has been completed, and my uncle is still waiting for a reply. The next time I come to Xudu, I will definitely stay for a few more days to listen to Cao Gong's teachings. ”

Gently patting Lu Bu's arm, Cao Cao asked, "Yuan Shu is dead, does Feng Xian have any plans?" ”

"Uncle originally planned to help Cao Gong defeat Huainan, but he had no food and grass and no soldiers and horses, so he was really powerless." Lu Bu sighed: "When Gong Cao was trapped, he beat his uncle miserably. ”

"Is there no food in Xiapi?" Cao Cao asked suspiciously.

"Where is there still grain in stock, if Cao Gong leads troops to fight now, he won't be able to hold it for a month." Lu Bu replied very simply and sincerely.

The more he replied, the more confused Cao Cao felt, and it was even more impossible to send troops to fight Lu Bu, who had already surrendered.

"What are you going to do?" Cao Cao asked.

"What else can I do?" Lu Bu shook his head: "I can only eat porridge for the army and civilians, and then get some bark and wild vegetables to satisfy hunger, and boil until the harvest." ”

"Could it be that Feng Xian is also living such a hard life now?" Cao Cao looked at Lu Bu suspiciously.

"There is no food and grass in the whole Xiapi, and it is impossible for my uncle not to eat it." Lu Bu replied: "I'm afraid I have to endure such a day for a few months." ”

"Feng first sent the jade seal of the country, I can't do without a gift." A slight smile appeared on the corner of Cao Cao's mouth: "I will allocate some grain and grass, but Feng has to help me do something first." ”

"Please publicize it." Lu Bu said: "Uncle and I are both moving forward. ”

"Huainan is not far from Xuzhou, since Yuan Shu is dead, Liu Biao in Jingzhou will definitely not be idle." Cao Cao said: "I will send someone to send the grain and grass, and Feng first has to take Huainan for me to block Liu Biao." ”

"As long as there is grain and grass, we can take Huainan for Cao Gong." Lu Bu responded with confidence.

"If the little general is extremely bored, I will find someone to accompany you to walk around Xudu." Cao Cao said: "I have a lot of affairs on my hands, so I can't accompany them." ”

"Cao Gong has every opportunity, how dare he delay." Lu Bu became more and more humble.

After saying a few more words with him, Cao Cao said goodbye and left.

Looking at Cao Cao's back, Lu Bu breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Cao didn't plan to force him to stay, so he sent the hot potato of the heirloom jade seal to Cao's house.

No matter who the jade seal is, it is the source of provoking right and wrong.

Although Cao Cao's strength is strong enough, it is still much weaker compared to the Yuan family in Hebei.

Sending the heirloom jade seal to Xudu, Yuan Shao may not say anything openly, but he must be uncomfortable in his heart.

What's more, Cao Cao accepted the jade seal, but only said that he kept it on behalf of the Han family, and did not present it to Liu Xie.

Counting the days, the battle of Guandu should not be far away.

Today's Cao family and Yuan family are calm on the surface, but secretly they are turbulent.

There will also be occasional minor friction between the two sides along the Yellow River.

It's just that no one has crossed the last minefield, and the big war has never broken out.

Sending the jade seal of Chuanguo to Xudu, Lu Bu also had the intention of leading the Yuan family to attack the Cao family.

The two huge families focused on dealing with each other, and the little Xuzhou could get more respite.

Not long after Cao Cao left, one of Cao Jiang's members came to Lu Bu's residence.

Cao Jiang, who was ordered to come to see Lu Bu, had a big pie face, although he was not as tall as Lu Bu, but there were not many short ones.

He is none other than Cao Cao's fellow sect Cao Ren.

Cao Ren entered the house and arched his hand towards Lu Bu: "The lord asked me to accompany General Lu to walk around in Xudu." ”

Lu Bu returned the salute: "I'm in a panic, there is General Lao!" ”

"General Lu, please!" Cao Ren stepped aside.

Accompanied by Cao Ren, Lu Bu left Cao's house.

The first time I went around, Xu was accompanied by Cao Cao, and Cao Cao had the final say on the route.

And at that time they were on horseback.

Although you can see the flowers in general, it is impossible to observe them in great detail.

Leaving Cao's house, Lu Bu did not choose to ride a horse, but walked with Cao Ren.

He would often stop outside a shop with a lot of customers to see what kind of shop was more likely to attract business.

For a place to prosper, not only agriculture must be developed, but commerce is also very important.

Xuzhou was in ruins, and Cao Cao promised to transport a batch of grain and grass over, but there were still conditions.

The opportunity for development has been won, and the key to long-term peace and stability is to rely on oneself.

I was walking along the street when I was confronted by a few people.

The man was stunned for a moment when he saw Lu Bu.

Lu Bu, who has all the memories of the past, also knows him.

He is the same Dong Cheng who once followed Dong Zhuo into Luoyang.

Working together back then, Dong Cheng was extremely impressed by Lu Bu.

The moment he saw Lu Bu, Dong Chengzhi had the idea of rubbing his eyes.

The young general who came forward accompanied by Cao Ren was exactly the same as Lu Buchang.

If it weren't for that particularly immature face, Dong Cheng would definitely think that what he saw was Lu Bu.

Lu Bu recognized Dong Cheng, but he pretended not to see it, and only cared about talking to Cao Ren.

When he came to Xudu, he used the identity of his nephew Lu Nan.

According to him, Lu Nan had only left Wuyuan not long ago, and he should never have known Dong Cheng and others.

Approaching, Dong Cheng blocked Lu Bu and Cao Ren on their way.

Blocked by him, Lu Bu pretended to be surprised and asked, "Why did Your Excellency stop us?" ”

"General Dong!" Cao Ren knew Dong Cheng and arched his hand.

Dong Cheng replied: "I heard that Fengxian sent someone to Xudu, and I already had a new heart to pay a visit, but I didn't expect to meet two people here." ”

Lu Bu looked at Cao Ren blankly.

"This is the general of the Che Cavalry, the father of the current Dong Guiren, Dong Gong." Cao Ren introduced Dong Cheng to him.

Pretending to be abrupt, Lu Bu bowed his hand and saluted: "I don't know if it's the general of the chariot, it's rude." ”

"Dare to ask who the little general is from Fengxian?" Dong Cheng looked at Lu Bu: "It's exactly the same as Fengxian!" ”

"General Lu is my uncle." Lu Bu replied.

Every time he answered, it felt weird.

pretending to be his nephew, I'm afraid he's the only one in the world!

Others want to impersonate like him, after all, not everyone can rejuvenate!

"I thought Feng Xian was Lingzun." Dong Cheng said with a smile: "Since we met, it's almost time to eat, why don't I invite the two of you to drink?" ”

"I still have military affairs, so I can't drink." Cao Ren replied.

"If General Cao is busy with military affairs, it is better for me to accompany General Lu for a walk." Dong Cheng's smile was even brighter: "Could it be that General Cao still can't believe me?" ”
