Chapter 737 Drink and talk happily
On this day, a team came outside Linzi City, and a general rode on a fiery red tall horse, and was striding towards Linzi.
This person was LΓΌ Bu and Lu Fengxian, who had a very unpleasant quarrel with Xiahoudun before, causing him to almost give up the idea of defecting to Cao Cao.
If Xu Huang hadn't tried his best to persuade him, he might have taken his family and Chen Gong to look for opportunities with other princes.
However, things were still going in the direction that Liu Yuan expected, and under the persuasion of Xu Huang and the persecution of the general trend of the world, Lu Bu still chose to come to Cao Cao.
This news Xu Huang and Xiahoudun had already passed through the fast horse to Cao Cao, who was in Linzi, and when Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu was coming, he also felt a little headache!
The main reason is that Lu Bu is not only unruly, but also has a wolf-like ambition.
He had killed the Lord many times in a row before, and this time no one dared to guarantee that he would not kill himself again.
If that's all it takes, it's simple, as long as you welcome Lu Bu into the city by yourself, and then block the city gate and the nearby streets, a random arrow can solve the problem.
But Lu Bu's martial arts made him very excited.
When I fought with Liu Yuan several times before, it was because of the superb martial arts of the generals under Liu Yuan's command that I regretted defeat.
Although he now has several generals under his command, such as the Xiahou brothers, Xu Huang, and Xu Chu, who would be too much for a general like Lu Bu who has superb martial arts?
If there are a few more generals under his command, such as Lu Bu, then if he fights with Liu Yuan again, at least he will not suffer too much in terms of generals.
So for Lu Bu, Cao Cao was reluctant to kill, but he didn't dare to reuse it, and such an extremely contradictory mood made Cao Cao feel very headache.
But the time to come still came, listening to the news from his subordinates, at this time Lu Bu had already taken his subordinates and family members to ten miles outside Linzi City.
If he really wants to take Lu Bu for his own use, then he can't stay in the city anymore, at least he has to go out of the city to meet the other party, so as to show his sincerity.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao decided to welcome Lu Bu and others into Linzi for the time being, although he was not very sure of controlling Lu Bu, but he still wanted to take a risk!
Cao Cao, who made the decision, immediately took his subordinates out of Linzi City, and waited for Lu Bu's arrival in a small pavilion three miles outside the city.
Soon Lu Bu and the others came to this small pavilion, and when they saw Cao Cao personally leading people out to greet him, Lu Bu's face showed a bright smile.
He immediately turned over and dismounted, and came to Cao Cao in a few big steps, and then clasped his hands into fists and gave a deep salute, and said to Cao Cao:
"Meng Degong, the general of the defeated army, Lu Bu, came to defect to Ming Gong today! I also hope that Ming Gong will not give up and can take in our homeless people, Lu Fengxian is grateful! β
"Oops~ Feng Xian is so polite! Feng Xian can come to this small Linzi City, which is simply making Cao here flourishing! A general like Feng Xian, he can't even look forward to it! β
Meng De's public words are serious, and he knows his own affairs. Now except for Ming Gong, no one in the whole world dares to take in the last general. And even if they want to take in the last general, the last general will not take those dirty chickens and dogs in their eyes! To be able to get Ming Gong and not give up, Bu is really grateful! β
"Okay~ Okay~ Fengxian, you and I don't want to delay here! you've prepared a thin wine in the city, how about it? Did Feng Xian have a drunken Yaxing who conspired with Cao! β
"I don't dare to ask if I want to!"
"Haha~ Let's go, go into the city with the!"
After speaking, Cao Cao grabbed Lu Bu's robe sleeve, and the two of them looked happy, and walked briskly towards Linzi City not far away.
Behind them were all the civil and military forces under Cao Cao, and of course, Chen Gong, the first strategist under Lu Bu.
The reason why Chen Gong is reluctant to go to see Cao Cao with Lu Bu now is also because the two had a disagreement before.
Although he decided to come to Cao Cao, Chen Gong still thought that it was best for him not to meet Cao Cao, so as not to be embarrassed when the two met!
However, the first time he entered the city's banquet, he had to go to it anyway, but there was one more important thing before he went to the banquet, which was to settle Lu Bu's family!
Of course, according to Cao Cao's personality, such a thing must have already been settled for his subordinates, and there is no need to bother with it at all.
Sure enough, before he could go far, a middle-aged scribe came to Chen Gong's side, and the other party first clasped his fists with both hands and saluted, and then said:
"I don't know your Excellency's surname, under the command of Cao Gong, the military division sacrificed to the wine Xun Yu Xun Gongda, and now I am specially ordered by the lord to come to settle the family for General Fengxian."
"It's polite below, the contemptible surname is Chen Minggongzi Gongtai, and he is the general of the military division under General Lu Fengxian. Brother Gongda came just in time, and asked Brother Gongda to lead the way, and the family members who were protecting the lord immediately followed! β
"Okay, then Brother Gongtai will take the first step next!"
After saying that, Xun You walked in front of the Chen Palace, but on the way from outside Linzi City to the mansion arranged by Cao Cao for Lu Bu, Xun You was not idle at all.
He kept trying to get something useful out of Chen Gong's mouth.
However, these things had long been expected by Chen Gong, so Chen Gong resolved them very skillfully, and Xun Yu interrogated him several times.
It wasn't until he came to the mansion that Cao Cao arranged for Lu Bu and others that Xun You didn't ask anything he wanted to know.
However, if you want to ask more questions now, it seems a bit presumptuous, so Xun You can only give up for the time being.
After settling all Lu Bu's family, Chen Gong followed Xun Yu to Cao Cao's mansion, where there was the sound of warblers singing and dancing, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu were drinking and talking!
After Chen Gong came in, he found a corner where no one paid attention and sat down silently.
However, although he seems to have never cared about the situation on the field, he is still paying attention to his lord secretly.
It wasn't until he found out that his lord had dealt with Cao Cao and Cao Cao's subordinates' questions one by one, that Chen Gong's heart that had been carried out could be put down.
It seems that his lord has indeed made great progress after so many things, if it was the previous lord, he would definitely not have the heart to intrigue with Cao Cao and others.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, just as the banquet was about to end, Cao Cao suddenly found an acquaintance of his in the corner.
As soon as he saw this acquaintance of his, Cao Cao's already white face immediately reflected two red clouds, he really didn't expect to meet this old acquaintance of his here.
Thinking of what he had done wrong before, Cao Cao's inner uneasiness began to slowly amplify, even making him restless.
So after a little thought, Cao Cao decided to end this banquet!
