Xu Huang knows the tricks of the Xin Xing brothers, even if he can't fully understand it, the strategist Jiang Qi is not a guy who eats steamed buns for nothing.

Since you want to trade the giant deer (this is Xu Huang's opinion on what the Xin Xing brothers are doing now), then I will call you a chicken and a flying egg. Just take advantage of the opportunity to escort you to the grain and grass, occupy the giant deer, and take the giant deer completely in your own hands.

So, Xu Huang was ready to personally lead three thousand of his own elite guards to escort grain and grass to the giant deer, enter the tiger's den, and take the tiger's son.

However, if he goes to Julu, then the Lu brothers who are now squatting in Xindu are not at ease, so Xu Huang called the two brothers, spoke seriously, and said very sincerely: "This time I went to Julu to deliver grain and grass to Xin Xing Taishou, and at the same time, I also want to show my integrity to the Xin brothers, so I want to ask Lu Kuang and Lu Hou Ye to go with me, first, I can be a witness, and second, I can also make Xin Taishou feel at ease." ”

said politely, but this is a hostage, so that Lu Xiang, who stayed in Xindu, did not dare to act rashly.

The Lu brothers glanced at each other, and knew in their hearts that this was Xu Huang or distrusting themselves, and took the hostage method, but they were stronger than people, and now their brothers only had less than 5,000 old and weak soldiers, and they had no ability to resist in the face of Xu Huang, who was strong and strong, even if they had this thought, now that their own Lu Peng was far away, he didn't know his thoughts, and he couldn't answer at all, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

So Lu Kuang replied respectfully: "I have some relationship with the Xin family brothers, for the good of his brothers, and also for the affairs of the imperial court, I am willing to go to Julu with Lord Thorn Shi." ”

After getting Lu Kuang's answer, Xu Huang was very satisfied, so he arranged for Lu Kuang to return to the camp to settle down, and after he loaded the money and grain for Julu, everyone set off together.

Taking advantage of Xu Huang's leave to return to the barracks, Lu Kuang immediately returned to the secret room with Lu Xiang, and Lu Kuang anxiously asked his brother: "Don't you have a clue about the matter of me asking you to contact General Lu Peng?" ”

Since the defeat of Yuan Shao and the abandonment of the Lu brothers in Xindu, the Lu brothers have had the intention of surrendering their own family, not only because the family may be taken care of, but more importantly, the Lu brothers can intuitively feel that it is this family that can achieve great things in the future. Therefore, during this period of time, the two of them tried every possible way to get in touch with Lu Peng.

But this connection is a little difficult, after all, now the two also know that they are surrounded by the original Yuan Shao's forces, and Cao Cao took over so quickly, which greatly surprised him, so he directly sent an envoy to Lu Peng, in case the secret is leaked, then the lives of hundreds of people in their two families, as well as thousands of soldiers under him, will be in danger.

"From the time Lu Peng sent troops to merge with the state, 2,000 Jinyi guards under him suddenly appeared in advance, and they occupied the Jingcheng Road Pass first, and it seems that the Jinyi guards under Lu Peng have almost reached the point of being pervasive, and there are many people and horses, so I think there are definitely many Jinyi guards in our letter." Lu Xiang frowned and analyzed.

"That's a certainty, but in this case, why didn't they send someone to contact us?" Obviously knowing that Lu Peng's Jinyiwei is definitely a lot of letters, but people hide and don't show up, you go to look for it, and there are no three words Jinyiwei written on the door of people's heads, and they can't find it, thinking of the distress, Lu Kuang muttered bitterly: "And we can't find them anyway, from this point of view, it seems that General Lu Peng doesn't value our brother very much." Then his expression was a little depressed: "You and my brother want to defect to him, don't be a hot face and a cold ass, and it's boring to talk to yourself." ”

Being said like this, Lu Xiang, who was in a hot mood, also felt very discouraged and disappointed, if this is the case, then everyone will not be interesting, it is better to follow Cao Cao well, after all, Cao Cao gave his brother a liege at the beginning, at least Cao Cao is still kind to himself, as for the future, who can say clearly?

So the two brothers fell into silence, and after a long time, Lu Kuang suddenly sighed.

Lu Xiang asked strangely, "Does my brother have any doubts?" ”

Lu Kuang said while pondering: "When I was in Zhongshan, Lu Peng's troops pressed the border, and at this time, I sent Jinyi Wei to contact Zhongshan State, so that Bao Tao was able to sacrifice Zhongshan safely. The same is true for many states and counties in Bingzhou, only when General Lu Peng's army is overwhelmed, will someone come forward to surrender, is this a kind of protection for our people by General Lu? ”

When the eldest brother said this, Lu Xiang's eyes suddenly lit up: "If the eldest brother says so, now you and my brother are in a place where enemies are on all sides, once the news of our defection to Lu Peng leaks out, we will be in a state of no return, so Lu Peng didn't send someone to contact us, in fact, this is to protect us, isn't it?" ”

Lu Kuang clapped his hands and said with some excitement: "I think that's the truth." Such an analysis made the two of them feel that Lu Peng was careful.

At this time, Lu Xiang patted his head: "This reminds me of something." ”

"What do you remember?"

Lu Xiang said excitedly: "Yuan Shao's thing ran away, looted all the money, food and materials, and left our brother just a tattered mess, leaving us with the so-called 5,000 soldiers, in fact, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and they have eaten the last meal without the next meal, at that time, a businessman came and donated a lot of money and food to us, did my brother forget?" ”

How could Lu Kuang forget this person who sent charcoal in the snow? Thinking that when his brother was poor, a businessman claimed to be surnamed Zhang, and came to meet at that time, saying that his family was a long, long time ago when he was down, and was rescued by the old man of the Lu family, so he had today's wealth.

At that time, this reason did make the Lu brothers feel that they looked at each other, because he really couldn't remember that there had been such a thing more than 20 years ago, but seeing that this person was sincere, he couldn't see what he needed from him, so he was perfunctory.

As a result, this businessman surnamed Zhang saw that his two brothers were really embarrassed with these 5,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, so he immediately donated 10,000 stone of grain to relieve the army of food. 100,000 steel coins, please add cotton clothes for the future of the soldiers.

It was precisely because of this money and food that the Lu brothers did not mutiny and disturb the people, which fulfilled the good reputation of the Lu brothers.

Looking back now, the more I think about it, the more strange it becomes, the world's businessmen are extremely treacherous, as the so-called no profit can not be early, if you change your family's original kindness to help him, take out a 10,000 steel coin return is also a big deal, the result of this shot, is more than 300,000 dollars, this is indeed too much beyond the scope of ordinary people.

Now this businessman surnamed Zhang, since he donated money and food, it seems that the world has evaporated, and there is no news of anyone, which makes this thing even more weird.

However, according to the brothers' analysis of Lu Peng's original behavior just now, the two brothers suddenly brightened up in their hearts, and they firmly believed that this businessman surnamed Zhang was definitely sent by General Lu Peng to help them.

So the two brothers looked at each other and smiled, and put their hearts in their stomachs.

Since Lu Peng had already arranged for his subordinates to contact him and help him early, then he should be steady, continue to ambush, and wait for General Lu Peng to send someone to contact him again. At that time, he must surprise General Lu.
