The attendant beside Yuan Shu stepped forward to take the tray and carefully placed it on the table in front of him, and then uncovered the silk silk covering it.

There was a sword on the tray.

Picking up the sword, Yuan Shu looked through it twice, and then pulled the sword out of its scabbard.

"It's indeed Cao Cao's saber." Yuan Shu asked the crowd, "Who do you think is doing this?" ”

"Your Majesty." A person on the left stood up: "It must be Lu Fengxian who is doing this!" ”

It was a thin middle-aged man who spoke.

This person's face is well-defined, and his eyes are sly and sly, which can easily give the impression of a yin owl.

He is Yang Hong, whom Yuan Shu has relied on the most in recent years.

"Lu Bu once asked me for help, how could he be so eager to offend me?" Yuan Shu had already guessed that it was Lu Bu, but he still raised questions.

"He did ask His Majesty for help, but His Majesty did not send troops." Yang Hong replied: "Lu Bu hates Cao Cao, but I'm afraid that he hasn't hated His Majesty deeply. deliberately leaving the sword is nothing more than blaming Cao Cao. The one who wants to see Cao Cao and His Majesty attacking each other the most, except for Lu Bu, there is no one else! ”

"Makes sense!" Yuan Shu stroked his beard and nodded approvingly.

He looked at Yan Xiang again: "What did Zhongli officials do?" ”

"In accordance with His Majesty's will, the county order and the county lieutenant will be separated." Yan Xiang replied: "On that day, the people who took care of the warehouse were beheaded on the street, and all those involved in it were punished accordingly. ”

"I handed Zhongli over to them, but they neglected their duties, not to mention the loss of food, nearly a thousand soldiers were killed, and it took a whole day to find out." Yuan Shu asked everyone, "What do you think I should do with Lu Bu?" ”

Instead of dealing with others, the generals will definitely rush to ask for battle.

The other party was Lu Bu, and no one dared to stand up and express his position.

Whoever Yuan Shu puts the responsibility for the attack on, whose life is not easy!

Lu Bu is a fierce general in the world.

Among the generals here, none of them can get benefits from him when they go to the battlefield!

"Of course you have to fight!" The generals didn't dare to express their position, but Yang Hong, who was a civil minister, didn't care so much.

He bowed to Yuan Shu and made a generous statement in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who was seated: "Lu Bu came to the door to provoke and killed nearly a thousand soldiers of our army, if you don't crusade, how can Your Majesty deter the world?" Trapped in Xiapi for several months, Lu Bu was already at the end of his strong crossbow. He went to Zhongli to grab food regardless of the danger, which is enough to prove that he is almost out of food and grass, even if he moves Zhongli's stock, it is just a matter of surviving. Since he has declared war, why doesn't His Majesty take the opportunity to take Xuzhou? As long as we take Xuzhou, we will be able to reorganize our troops and start a war with Cao Cao sooner or later! ”

"Do you have any comments?" Yuan Shu looked at the others.

Everyone stood up and said in unison: "I'll second!" ”

Yuan Shu is so happy that he always hopes that others will follow him.

After following him for many years, the ministers of civil and military affairs have figured out his temper.

Although he did not express his position directly, the ministers had long understood that the so-called inquiry was nothing more than a formality.

Attacking Lu Bu is a foregone conclusion!

No one objected to sending troops, Yuan Shu stood up: "Spread my will, Ji Ling is the main general, Liu Shen is the vanguard, and lead 5,000 troops to attack Lu Bu!" ”

Two days later, Ji Ling and Liu Shen led 5,000 soldiers and horses to leave Shouchun and enter Xuzhou through Zhongli.

Due to its proximity to Huainan, the southernmost state of Xiapi County, Xu State bore the brunt of the attack by Ji Ling and Liu Shen.

After snatching grain and grass from Zhongli, Lu Bu returned to Xiapi and took out half of the grain and distributed it to the soldiers and civilians.

After being trapped for several months, many people's food in their homes has long since bottomed out.

The rations were distributed, and the city of Xiapi was full of praise for Lu Bu.

With food, the morale of the soldiers under Lu Bu's command was also unprecedentedly high.

After several days of preparation, the doctor finally concocted the paste-like toothpaste.

There are small clay vases neatly stacked in the small wooden box.

"Only seventy-two bottles were made in the first batch." The box was gently pushed to the table, and Lu Bu said to Zhang Shiping, who was sitting on the side: "Less is less, Zhang Gong should be enough to test sell." ”

"How much does Wen Hou plan to sell for a bottle?" Zhang Shiping asked.

"Is a lot of money?" Lu Bu showed an innocent smile.

"Isn't it a little expensive?" Zhang Shiping hesitated: "A small bottle of toothpaste, the cost of medicinal materials is only a penny......"

"The cost doesn't matter." Lu Bu interrupted him: "The important thing is that I have it and others don't!" Zhang Gong has been in business for many years, and he should know that it is far easier to win people's hearts than expensive goods. ”

"That's the way it is, but the price given by Wen Hou is ......" Zhang Shiping frowned, groaned for a while and said, "I'll do my best!" ”

"It's not about doing your best, it's about definitely doing it." Lu Bu said: "Zhang Gong only has seventy-two bottles in his hand, I think not only can I sell it for a penny, but when it is about to be sold out, even if I add another hang, someone will still buy it." ”

Looking at Lu Bu in astonishment, Zhang Shiping was actually stunned.

Of course he understood what Lu Bu said.

He just didn't expect these words to come out of the mouth of a hero who had led the army for many years.

He once heard people talk about Lu Bu, but it was nothing more than a lack of courage and strategy.

But the young general sitting in front of him was not only full of heroism, but also considered everything thoroughly, and even the trick of Shang Jia who often deliberately reduced goods was also clearly understood.

"I understand what Wen Hou means." Zhang Shiping responded.

The guards beside Lu Bu carried the wooden box and sent it to him.

Just as he was about to count the clay vases in the wooden box, Chen Gong broke in.

Arching his hand to Zhang Shiping first, Chen Gong then said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, something happened." ”

Speaking of the accident, he subconsciously glanced at Zhang Shiping.

Knowing that Chen Gong thought he was not good at talking here, Zhang Shiping got up and said, "If Wen Hou has no other instructions, I will retire first." ”

"Someone!" Lu Bu shouted to the door.

A guard outside the door walked in.

"Send Zhang Gong back to rest." Lu Bu instructed the guards.

The guards retreated to the door, and Zhang Shiping retreated.

After he left, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "Yuan Shu guessed that it was Wen Hou who went to Zhongli, and sent two generals, Ji Ling and Liu Shen, to lead 5,000 troops into Xiapi and attack Xu State. ”

"It's coming pretty fast." Lu Bu smiled indifferently as if he didn't care at all.

"What are you going to do?" Chen Gong asked.

"You and General Gao are guarding Xiapi, and I will take Wen Yuan to lead the troops to meet the battle." Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao is besieging the city, and we can't get him for the time being. What is Yuan Shu? Come and dance with me, too! ”

"Our army has less than 2,000 soldiers to use, but the enemy has come with a full 5,000." Chen Gong persuaded: "Wen Hou can't take the enemy lightly. ”

Lu Bu got up and walked in front of Chen Gong and patted his arm gently: "Don't worry, Gongtai, Yuan Shu is nothing more than dead wood in the grave, and I am worried that I can't find a chance to destroy Huainan." He gave Huainan away, how can I not take it? ”
