Lu Bu led the team back to Xiapi, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were jubilant.

From the city gate to the official palace, the road was crowded with people watching the grain carts.

Looking at the more than 200 ox carts loaded with grain, the people were all overjoyed.

With this food, you don't have to worry about starving anymore.

Chen Gong and others were waiting in front of the official mansion.

Seeing Lu Bu coming from afar, they hurried to meet him.

"Congratulations to Wen Hou on his success in winning the grain!" The crowd made a big salute.

Jumping off his horse, Lu Bu instructed the officer: "Send the grain to the treasury, and someone will be responsible for distributing it later." ”

The grain cart went down the street in the direction of the treasury.

Chen Gong asked with concern: "Wen Hou's affairs in Huainan are still secretive?" ”

The reins were handed to the guard, and Lu Bu said: "I left Cao Jun's sword to Yuan Shu, and returned directly to Xuzhou, he should think that Cao Cao did the matter." ”

"Wen Hou actually left a sword?" Chen Gong was taken aback.

Lu Bu nodded: "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Gong said with annoyance: "If you don't keep that sword, Yuan Shu really won't guess that Wen Hou did it!" ”

"Even if he doesn't believe it's Cao Cao, wouldn't he guess the bandit?" Lu Bu asked: "There are a lot of bandits in various places, how can they guess me?" ”

"The thieves won't blame Cao Cao?" Chen Gong replied: "In addition to Wen Hou, who else can't wait to make trouble for Cao Cao?" ”

"I see." Lu Bu said nonchalantly: "If Yuan Shu really dares to crusade, it's a big deal, and there's nothing to worry about." ”

"Xuzhou's vitality is greatly damaged, although Yuan Shu is not as good as before, but it is much stronger than us." Chen Gong said: "It's better to make plans early. ”

"I'm relieved that he's really here." Lu Bu was as calm as chatting about family life: "More than two hundred truckloads of grain can't be eaten for long, and I'm still worried about where to get food next time." He was willing to send it over, and I didn't have to make a trip myself. ”

Chen Gong was speechless for a moment.

Once Yuan Shu comes to Xuzhou, there will inevitably be a fight.

Lu Bu said as if he was specially sending food.

Back then, Lu Bu was arrogant before and after he became famous, and he relied on his martial arts to excel and not look at the heroes of the world in his eyes.

In recent years, as he gets older and older, he has lost the sharpness he had at that time, and often looks forward and backward, so that he did a lot of bloody things when he was besieged.

Lu Bu's change began when he found Chen Gong and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun that day to discuss how to deal with the rebellion of Wei Xu and others.

From that day on, he was less indecisive and more resolute.

Chen Gong originally thought that Lu Bu had just changed his temperament, but he didn't expect that what really shocked him was still to come.

is obviously middle-aged, and both physical strength and mental nature are not as good as before.

But God favored him and let him return to his youth and live again!

With the physique of a teenager and many years of experience in battlefield conquest, compared to the once famous Lu Bu, now he is the god of war who can really be invincible!

No wonder Lu Bu's arrogance is even better than back then.

He has this capital, why can't he be proud of the crowd?

Lu Bu's words were arrogant, and Zhang Liao and Chen Gong, who were military generals, felt very uplifted when they heard it.

The two said in unison: "I am willing to follow Wen Hou to the death!" ”

"If you choose to follow me, you are my family." Lu Bu said: "Now I am not strong enough to look down on the world, I can't give too many promises, the only thing that can promise you is that no matter who dares to be unfavorable to my family, I will definitely let him exterminate the species!" ”

The two people who Lu Bu was once unwilling to reuse are now called writers by him, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun have a warm current surging in their hearts.

Gently patting Chen Gong's arm, Lu Bu smiled at him: "Don't worry about the public platform, don't talk about Yuan Shu, even if the sky falls, I will push it back with my shoulder." ”

"Wen Hou has such a responsibility, are you worried that you won't be able to achieve great things in the future?" Chen Gong arched his hand and said, "I am willing to do my best to assist Wen Hou. ”

Walking into the official mansion, Lu Bu asked Chen Gong: "Have you invited a businessman?" ”

"It's really not easy." Chen Gong said: "Xuzhou has no chance to make money when all industries are withering, and businessmen from all over the world avoid it, who will come to this place?" ”

Without Shang Jia Ken to Xuzhou, Lu Bu frowned slightly.

Thriving business is key to regional development.

To compete in the world, we must have a strong economic backing.

It costs money to recruit soldiers, it costs money to raise soldiers, it costs money to buy ordnance and armor, and it costs money to buy grain, grass and horses!

Without money, even if he has the strength to hang Mount Tai upside down, he must not be able to move an inch!

"But there's a guy coming." As soon as Chen Gong's words changed, Lu Bu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He hurriedly asked, "What's the name of the person who came?" ”

"Zhongshan Zhang Shiping, I don't know if Wen Hou has heard of it?"

After experiencing the fusion of soul and body, Lu Bu not only returned to his youth, but also possessed all the abilities of the physical body, including memory.

"I've heard of him." Lu Bu said: "He once funded Liu Bei to prepare a lot of horses. ”

"At that time, the Yellow Turban Thieves were still making trouble." Chen Gong said: "He thought that Liu Bei was a generous elder, but later he found out that he was just talking about benevolence, righteousness and morality. Liu Bei later asked him to sponsor, but he refused. ”

"I don't know what happened after that." Lu Bu said: "It seems that this person still has a temperament. ”

Chen Gong replied: "He came to Xiapi yesterday, and I told him about Wen Hou's plans, but he was not optimistic and was ready to leave." ”

Finally, a businessman came, how could Lu Bu give up so easily!

Leaving Zhang Shiping behind may be the key to reviving Xuzhou.

"What did he say?" Lu Bu hurriedly asked.

Chen Gong replied: "He said that in troubled times, the most profitable thing is the goods that can save lives, and once the grain and silk and linen are taken out, they can be snapped up." Toothpaste is just used to clean teeth, it is not very useful, and no one will want to pay for it. ”

"You find a way to keep him first." Lu Bu said: "When I get the toothpaste sample, there will be a way to let him act as a sole agent." ”

"It's a bit hard for me to watch." Chen Gong shook his head: "This person has a strong personality, and I am afraid that it is not easy to be persuaded if he recognizes the right things." ”

"A businessman values profit, and as long as I can make him see it, he will be convinced." Lu Bu said very confidently: "Silk and hemp, grain and grass are indeed easy to sell, but we are also short of them. As for toothpaste, we'll have a lot of it. Ordinary people don't use it, someone will. ”

He instructed the guards: "Invite some of the healers who prepare the toothpaste to the study and ask them to bring samples." ”

"Wen Hou really thinks Zhang Shiping will be persuaded?" Chen Gong still didn't believe it.

After all, toothpaste is really not very useful.

"As long as Zhang Shiping is left behind, I will have a way to convince him." Lu Bu said confidently: "If you want to sell good goods, it all depends on fooling. Toothpaste is a good thing, as long as Zhang Shiping is willing to listen to me, I don't believe that I can't fool him. ”
