"Lu Servant Shooting, embroider to you!"

Lu Ren and Zhang Xiu each poured a large sip of wine, and Zhang Xiu looked up at the night sky and said with a smile: "For some reason, Xiu feels that drinking with Lu Servant on this roof is far more relaxed than a feast in the hall. ”

Lu Ren also smiled: "The things in the banquet are often very fake, many times they don't know the so-called pleasure at all, but the banquet has to pay attention to some messy etiquette and be tightly restrained, so Lu Ren has always not liked those hypocritical feasts."

"In contrast, I prefer to invite three or five close friends, talk freely, say whatever I want, and play whatever I want. When the game rises, all kinds of messy things are done. I was not afraid of the general laughing when I said it, I once fought with Lao Guo in the Qingguo wine shop, and both of us were drunk and dizzy, and as a result, I went to Cao Zilian's house to sleep all night. ”

Zhang Xiu laughed when she heard this, and then nodded again and again. Probably because he felt that this wine was not easy to come by, Zhang Xiu did not take any more gulps, but took a light sip before saying: "In fact, Xiu is a person who has been fighting on the battlefield for a long time, and how can a fighting man not drink alcohol?" It's really not good to drink it at all. Originally, when the grain and grass were scarce, Xiu wanted to set up troops in Wan and loot some to raise his children, but Mr. Jia strongly admonished me and told me not to do this. ”

Lu Ren nodded and said, "You can't go to loot." Wan and Sui belong to the division, not the place where disasters occur frequently in Xiliang. On the Xiliang side, he may be able to stay or go without hindrance, but the general is in Wancheng and has nowhere to go. The general himself has been able to gain a foothold in Wancheng so far, if the general does not soothe the people and spoils his farming, provokes a civil rebellion, and then there are thieves everywhere, the general will not be able to support Wancheng for a few days, and then he will be self-defeating.

"In contrast. If the people are appeased and allowed to farm with peace of mind, the general can more or less collect some money and grain taxes to hold on to the plan for a long time and then wait for the opportunity. To put it simply, it is actually a sentence, general, you are not a rogue now, and you can neither be a rogue nor a rogue now. ”

Zhang Xiu said: "Mr. Jia also said this about embroidery. Speaking of which, Mr. Jia is full of praise for Lu Fu's talent and insight. Embroidery has always been the most convincing Mr. Jia, and now it seems that Mr. Lu is also worthy of embroidery! ”

“……”

Lu Ren smiled a little embarrassedly when he heard this, thought about it and quickly turned the conversation back to the topic, and asked, "General." What do you think of this demotion now? ”

"I have no doubts, and I am determined to surrender. But Lu Servant, if Cao Gong is embarrassed by me, will Lu Servant shoot you intercede for embroidery? Zhang Xiu is telling the truth, and it is also the main purpose of his relationship with Lu Renla tonight. After all, in a situation like his, it is understandable to want to be as insured as possible.

Lu Ren lowered his head and muttered, "If I talk too much, it may be too fake." It's better to do this, I promise you, if Cao Gong embarrasses you. I will definitely intercede for you, and if necessary......"

At this point, Lu Ren also hesitated for a while, and finally lowered his voice and said to Zhang Xiu: "It's really not good, I can also help you escape from Xu Du." Then I will send you to a peaceful place to live in seclusion. ”

Zhang Xiu said: "In today's troubled times, where is there any peaceful place?" ”

Lu Ren smiled, leaned into Zhang Xiu's ear and whispered a few words, and Zhang Xiu said uncontrollably: "Really!?" ”

"Of course it's true." Lu Ren turned around and said with a smile: "Actually, as early as last year, after Lu Ren defeated Lu Bu with Cao Gong. That Miss Mi had already sent a fleet to Yizhou, and Gao Shun had already sent it over a little later......"

"Wait, wait! What you just said was Gao Shun, the trapped camp under Lu Bu? ”

Lu Ren nodded.

Zhang Xiu was overjoyed: "If he goes to Yizhou, it will be easy for the Lu and Mi clans to establish a foothold in Yizhou." And the caravans of the land servants often traveled from place to place. It is also easy to send the embroidery away from Xudu...... I really can't imagine that Lu Servant is so thoughtful, what else is Zhang Xiu afraid of? ”

Lu Renqi said: "You're not afraid that I'm lying to you?" ”

Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Although embroidery is vulgar, I believe that a person who can dissolve the sorrow in his heart into the rhythm of music will definitely not be a treacherous and deceitful, so embroidery believes in Lu Fu's words." ”

"......" Lu Ren was a little speechless, and said in his heart, is this guy too simple? Now I really don't understand whether Zhang Xiu is really simple or pretended.

But seeing Zhang Xiu take another sip of wine, he continued: "Lu Servant, Xiu will also talk to you a few words in his heart." In fact, before the embroidery came to see Lu Servant, Mr. Jia was very much in favor of this surrender and advised the embroidery not to doubt. And Xiu also expected that after the surrender of Cao this time, it would definitely be as Mr. Jia and Lu Servant said, and Cao Gong would never be embarrassed by embroidery......

"Maybe just like what Lu Servant said, embroidery is gambling this time, if the bet is right, most of them will be rich and rich, even if the bet is lost, Lu Servant has already left a way out, and embroidery can also follow a little light. Just win or lose...... Alas, Lu Servant shoots, embroidery is actually very envious of you, because although you have a great enmity, you can calmly judge the situation, dissect the pros and cons between Cao and Yuan, and then find out a good strategy that can take revenge without hurting yourself, which is far from being comparable to embroidery. We have also lost the woman we love, but you can avenge your revenge, but my revenge must not be avenged. ”

“……”

Lu Ren shook his head, stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder and said, "General, we are all men, and we are men who carry the burden of the clan's children on our shoulders, we can't really ignore everything else just for the sake of a woman's hatred." In fact, being a man is very tiring, and men are really hard, but it is precisely because we can pick up this burden that we are a real man. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded and said, "Not bad!" The man who can carry the burden is the real man, and we have to give up what we should be willing to give! Hey, I'm asking you something. ”

"What's the matter, tell me."

"When do you think I'm going to Xudu to surrender?"

Lu Ren muttered: "Of course, it would be best to be earlier. And this surrender, you'd better do it in front of everyone, the bigger the scene, the better, because in this way Cao Gong can show himself in front of the people of the world that he is broad-minded and has light on his face. And thinking about it the other way, the sooner the news of the general's surrender spreads, and Cao Gong will be more and more unable to embarrass you.

"In addition, the general is now short of food in the army, so tomorrow I will repair the book and send someone to Xudu, please Xun Lingjun quickly adjust the 50,000 Hu grain and grass I promised before. Even if the general is already worried, his subordinates should also be appeased, right? By the way, I also want to ask Xun Lingjun whether I should return to Xu immediately, or should I stay in Wancheng to appease the general to show my sincerity. ”

Zhang Xiu nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, it's still Lu Servant who thinks thoughtfully." Lu Servant, can we discuss some more personal matters? That is, can you ask Xu Du to send more of this kind of good wine? It's really hard to live without alcohol! ”

"I ......"

Lu Ren looked at Zhang Xiu speechlessly, and said in his heart, what the hell is going on with this guy? Isn't this a bit too simple? If this really arrives in Xuchang, it will definitely have a fight with Xu Hu!

――――――――――――――――――――

Half a month later.

After Cao Cao of Xuchang received Lu Ren's urgent letter, he allocated 3,000 men and horses and 50,000 grains and grass to Wancheng without saying a word, and at the same time repaired another letter and sent someone to Lu Ren. And on the matter of whether Lu Ren should return to Xuchang immediately or stay in Wancheng to appease Zhang Xiu first. In order to be safe, Cao Cao asked Lu Ren to stay in Wancheng to appease Zhang Xiu first, and of course, there was also a layer of meaning to observe Zhang Xiu more.

There are many words and annoying, Lu Ren's arrival in Wancheng was around the Mid-Autumn Festival, about a month later, that is, in October of the fourth year of Jian'an, Zhang Xiu finally followed Lu Ren to Xuchang. In order to show grandeur, Cao Cao personally went out of the city for thirty miles to greet him, and "personally held his hand and feasted with Zhang Xiu", and named Zhang Xiu as a general of Yangwu and a thousand households. Of course, Lu Ren's reward for this life-seeker is also a lot, but Cao Cao knows that Lu Ren doesn't care about these ......

The banquet was a happy feast, but Lu Ren noticed something not quite right during the banquet. found an opportunity to get to Guo Jia's side, but before he could speak, Guo Jia locked his eyebrows and scolded: "You kid, didn't I let you leave Xu Du earlier?" ”

Lu Ren said: "I haven't finished my business, and I don't want to leave yet." ”

"You...... Forget it, as soon as your temper comes out, you will be like a cow, and you can't pull it. ”

"Don't talk about that. I just returned to Xudu in Wancheng, and I don't know what happened recently, how do I feel that the atmosphere here in Xudu is a little wrong? Is there something big going on here in Xudu? ”

Guo Jia said: "Big thing, really big thing!" Just a few days ago, when you were still on the way back to Xudu, Qin Qingtong, the house slave of Uncle Dong Cheng, announced to the lord that he wanted to ...... That's a big deal! Fortunately, these people have no military power in their hands, and they didn't cause any major incidents, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable...... Without saying anything else, more than 700 heads were cut off at once! ”

Lu Ren was shocked in his heart, and secretly thought: "The incident of the bloody edict...... These people still can't hide from it. But if you calculate the time, it was almost at this time that this incident happened, at most one or two months in advance. Vicious! It's really ruthless!! ”

If you think about it carefully, what else can you do but shake your head and sigh? However, after a moment's thought, Lu Ren secretly said in his heart: "This incident can't be avoided in the first place, right?" But then again, Cao Cao can't do big things if he doesn't be ruthless. Forget it, these people didn't die in my hands anyway, and I can kill two birds with one stone. I didn't go against my conscience, and I didn't let anything go wrong with what I wanted to do.

"Then again, if this incident hadn't happened, then I would probably have to find a way to correct this process, after all, if these people made a little mess in the back during the Guandu War, Cao Cao would probably be finished, then I would have to take revenge and have problems...... There's nothing wrong with this now, and I don't want my hands to get too much blood on them if it doesn't have to. And I myself don't want to and can't become the kind of person who becomes mad for revenge......" (to be continued......
