Xu Jie is a smart person who does not conflict with Cao Cao, of course, he understands the good intentions of Lu Peng and the cabinet, but he is still a little worried: "The lord's idea is right, but the Lu brothers are a little anxious, they have been quietly looking for our people several times, hoping to connect with us." ”

For the Lu brothers' sincere intentions, Lu Peng knew it from the beginning, and Lu Peng also accepted it gladly.

Of course, this is not because the Lu family is a family, nor is it based on the understanding of the Lu brothers in later history, and they have to give full play to their expertise as a talent savior, but because the Lu brothers have fallen into a desperate situation after being abandoned by Yuan Shao, they have no food or drink, but they did not plunder the people, but took out their small family property, sold it into food, and watched the soldiers not go out of the camp. At this point, Lu Peng's good impression of the Lu brothers has greatly increased, in this chaotic era, in this era of treating the people as pigs and dogs, it is really rare to have such a general.

Therefore, Lu Peng arranged for the eldest brother Zhang Shiyuan's housekeeper to pretend to be a businessman who repaid his kindness, and donated a large amount of money and food to their brothers to solve their urgent needs.

The Lu brothers, Lu Peng is ready to be of great use.

Lu Peng pinched his beardless chin and thought about it: "Brother Lu's heart, I can understand it, but if he turns against Xu Huang now, whether it is because we are a family, or because he threw himself into me, I must send troops to respond, in this way, we have to fight with Xu Huang, as long as we fight with Xu Huang, it may ignite the war between me and Cao Cao for so long, which is contrary to the overall situation I predetermined, so I absolutely cannot agree to this matter." Then he said regretfully: "Even if the Lu brothers intend to expose themselves to being surrounded and suppressed by Xu Huang now, I will definitely stand by and watch and never interfere." ”

People must have principles and trade-offs, and in the face of the overall situation, they have to discard some things, and there is no way to do it.

Then he looked at the map carefully, raised his head and said to Xu Jie: "But it's not a way to hide all the time, today you will issue a warrant, let our Jinyiwei brothers quietly meet with him, tell him our arrangements, and let them wait patiently for a few months." Then he affirmed: "Please tell the brother of Jinyiwei to the Lu brothers, because of his love for the people, I will be of great use." ”

The Lu brothers, who were happy and expectant, were not disappointed, and just when Lu Kuang was about to follow Xu Huang to Julu, the businessman surnamed Zhang who repaid the favor came to the door.

Hearing such news, Lu Kuang's heartbeat almost jumped out of his chest, and he shouted to the soldiers who reported to him: "Please." Then I thought that it was still a bit rude to let the soldiers invite, so I took the corner of my robe and went out with my brother to greet him.

At this time, Lu Xiang was still dizzy with joy, grabbed his brother who was about to go out, and reminded in a low voice: "Now is an extraordinary time, if my brother goes to greet him with great fanfare, it will inevitably make Xu Huang and Jiang Qi suspicious, and it may backfire when the time comes." ”

When Lu Kuang heard this, he suddenly patted his head and remembered the environment he was in now, so he said to his younger brother embarrassedly: "It's still my brother's thoughtfulness, which almost put us in a situation from which we will never recover." ”

Lu Xiang explained with a smile: "Now that our brothers are deep in the den of tigers and wolves, everything must be careful. ”

"What my brother said is that I was just too happy for my brother and forgot about it for a while, so please remind my brother more in the future."

The two brothers were talking, there was already a sound of footsteps outside, with the sound of footsteps, a hearty laughter sounded outside the tent, and then a capable figure appeared at the door, look carefully, it was not the shopkeeper who helped him or who?

The Lu brothers hurriedly stepped forward and bowed their hands: "Mr. Zhang is here, my brother has missed the distance, sin, sin." ”

The shopkeeper also hurriedly returned the salute: "I went to the grassland, I didn't say anything for many days, and when I returned, I heard that the two generals had been named the princes by the prime minister, which is really gratifying. ”

As he spoke, he turned around and took two brocade boxes from the hands of the servants, and when they opened them, they turned out to be a pair of white-walled jade, which at first glance were the best, and they could be described as priceless.

At this time, a strange voice of yin and yang sounded at the door of the tent: "There are distinguished guests in the barracks, why don't you let me join the army to see me, and I will have more collusion in the future." ”

The figure flickered, but it was Jiang Mao, the clerk and steward of Jiang Qi's faction in the barracks, who was pinching a small three-sheep beard, taking square steps, and pacing in pretending to be knowledgeable, and did not look at the two Lu brothers, but a pair of rat eyes, looking up and down at this shopkeeper, his eyes were full of provocation and disdain.

The Lu brothers glanced at each other, and the look of disgust flashed in their eyes.

Shopkeeper Zhang has been in the mall for a long time and has read countless people, and the disgusted eyes of the Lu brothers were immediately seen by him, and in a blink of an eye, he understood the nature of the person who came, and he must be a nasty monitor.

So without waiting for the introduction of the Lu brothers, he immediately turned around and greeted Jiang Mao with a smile on his face: "Zhang Jie, a grass citizen, has seen the adults who joined the army, and he just met my two young brothers, and he is very happy, and he is even more happy to see him join the army again." Saying this, he took a piece of jade pendant from his waist and offered it with both hands: "The first time we met, it was extremely abrupt, just a little careful, and please join the army with a smile." ”

The habit of businessmen, that is, to hang bits and pieces on their bodies at any time, just like the bags of later generations of big businessmen, there are some precious small objects at any time for a purpose, that is, to meet people who need to be flattered, they can take out a gift at any time, find an excuse to send it out, so that they can immediately exchange for a good impression, and leave a very good opportunity excuse for dealing with them in the future.

Zhang Shiyuan, that is the first person on the list of the rich of the Great Khan, in addition to the king and emperor at that time, it is also equivalent to the world's richest man, the level of the shopkeeper under him, that is the executive CEO, and the ones on his body are all high-end goods, and the jade pendant that the shopkeeper Zhang took out is not as good as the Lu brothers just now, but it is also an absolute boutique.

When Jiang Mao saw it, he immediately smiled and couldn't see his teeth, and his tone became polite, and he directly pulled the shopkeeper Zhang to the seat, regardless of the expressions of the Lu brothers, and asked directly: "I heard that you have an old relationship with Hou Ye Lu, and in order to repay your kindness, you donated countless money and food to Hou Ye, a true benevolent and righteous man, I don't know what Mr. Zhang has to do here this time?" ”

This is definitely asking with ulterior motives, and it is definitely not asking for face for the real master, but this Jiang Mao is Jiang Qi's faction in the army of the Lu brothers, to put it bluntly, it is the prison army, it is the emperor, as long as the Lu brothers do not resolutely raise troops to resist, then, in fact, in this army, it is this Jiang Mao who has the final say.

Zhang's shopkeeper looked at the Lu brothers embarrassedly, as a dignified marquis, he was so humiliated by a soldier who joined the army, the Lu brothers' eyes were on fire, and their hands were already tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, as long as the shopkeeper Zhang gave an order, the Lu brothers would immediately draw their swords and kill Jiang Mao to the ground, and then immediately lead the troops out of Xindu.

But Shopkeeper Zhang smiled indifferently, and after giving their brother a look, he smiled, but the embarrassment on his face was even thicker.

Jiang Mao enjoyed this embarrassing feeling very much, that is, the sudden visit of this shopkeeper Zhang definitely had something ulterior to say with the Lu brothers, and his responsibility was to let this kind of ulterior thing come to light, or simply let him not say it, now, this effect is out, very good, very accomplished.

After a long time of talking, the shopkeeper Zhang saw that the adult who joined the army was about to get to the bottom of it, so he had to say his purpose.

"The grass people got the favor of Mrs. Lu in the early years, but in fact, the favor is not big, so the old lady Lu probably forgot about it, and the grass people can't remember it." Then he looked apologetically at the Lu brothers and touched his nose in embarrassment. "However, the month before yesterday, I heard that Yuan Shao ran away and handed over the power of Xindu to Brother Lu, so I remembered the story of the military food supply in Youzhou, thinking that in the future, Brother Lu will master the army, and the military food required must be a lot, so I want to follow Zhang Shiyuan's example, monopolizing the exclusive supply of Xindu military food materials, so I used the excuse of repaying my kindness to offer some donations, thinking about pulling down the relationship and achieving the goal."

This explanation made Jiang Mao suddenly realize, and also made Jiang Mao feel relieved.

That's right, this kind of explanation is no longer in line with the nature of a profiteer who is not profitable and cannot afford to be early, and this kind of explanation, the original kind of unreasonableness, suddenly became reasonable.

Turning his head, he saw the angry faces of the Lu brothers, which were humiliated and wanted to draw their swords and kill people.

Seeing that the Lu brothers were played by a profiteer like this, so they were annoyed and angry, Jiang Mao felt extremely comfortable, this is the mentality of hostile people.

Shopkeeper Zhang glanced apologetically at the Lu brothers again, and said meaningfully: "When I saw it today, the letter of feelings is not up to Brother Lu Nian, Lord Thorn Shi has abundant food and grass, and it seems that the time is not yet right, so it seems that the next calculation will be invalidated." When I said this, I felt a pain in my face and a look of disappointment.

This can be heard from different angles, and from different angles, the same sentence can have different meanings.

In Jiang Mao's ears, this mercenary merchant Jia Yin was disappointed that he could not achieve the second goal, and he was going to observe for a while. There is an obvious implication of finding another place here.

In the ears of the Lu brothers, it was General Lu Peng's instructions, telling them that the time was not yet ripe, and they had to endure it.

So the Lu brothers snorted reassuringly, and then strode out of the big tent angrily, if they didn't go out, if the excited look they couldn't help falling into Jiang Mao's eyes, the consequences would be quite serious.
