Chapter 13: Cao Jun Arrives

After Zhang Liao was ordered to leave, Lu Bu discussed with the generals how to use this momentum next, and the morale continued to rise, although the defenders in the city were only eight thousand, but as long as the morale was raised, it was not realistic to go out of the city to destroy the enemy, but it was still possible to rely on Pi Jiancheng to hold on, and after the discussion, he was about to leave, but he saw that Cao Xing did not come in.

"Lord, Cao Ying has sent a messenger to ask to see the lord." Cao Xuan saluted Lu Bu and bowed.

"Emissary?" Lu Bu was a little surprised, at this time, what did Cao Cao send an envoy for? He waved his hand directly and said, "No, blast out." ”

Lu Bu thought very clearly, between him and Cao Cao, there was nothing to talk about, Cao Cao couldn't tolerate himself, and he was indeed as they said, he couldn't stand the restraints, Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo's matter, although there were various reasons, but the feeling of being at the mercy of others and being a pawn, he didn't want to experience it again.

"Slow!" Chen Gong suddenly stopped him, and seeing Lu Bu's view, Chen Gong smiled and said, "Gong thinks that it doesn't hurt to see you." ”

"Oh?" Lu Bu frowned and looked at Chen Gong: "Why?" ”

"First, you can listen to some of Cao Jun's truths, and second, maybe you can take this opportunity to force Cao Cao away." Chen Gong smiled and said: "Cao Cao is now coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes, this, it is a people, since Cao Cao can't be destroyed in a hurry, why don't Wen Hou take this opportunity to ask for some practical benefits, now Wen Hou is a general Wei, but he is not Xuzhou Mu, occupying Xuzhou, his name is not right, his words are not good, if Cao Cao really intends to negotiate peace, or can seek it!" ”

Xuzhou pastor?

Lu Bu groped his chin, for the position of Xuzhou Mu, he wanted it a long time ago, but unfortunately, now that he thinks about it, he was also calculated by Chen Deng.

However, for Cao Cao's peace talks, Lu Bu instinctively with a sense of rejection and distrust, and some regrets in his heart, if Zhou Yuan was here, he would be able to know what Cao Cao was doing, but unfortunately, Zhou Yuan was now sent to Xuzhou, and for a while, he couldn't come back, Lu Bu at this moment, he was more eager to form a ghost guard composed of ghosts and spy on intelligence for himself.

"Okay, just see what he says, bring him in." Lu Bu shook his head, thousands of troops and horses have broken through, are you really afraid that a tongue will not work?

One thing Chen Gong said is right, even if Cao Cao loses the grain and grass, it is impossible for him to rely on these 8,000 defenders to annihilate Cao Cao's 50,000 army, and it is unrealistic to kill Cao Cao with this battle, and the land of Xuzhou, starting from Tao Qian, after Cao Cao's several crusades, slaughtering the city, the former prosperous and rich land, is now full of devastation, even if Cao Cao is driven away, there are still Chen family father and son to clean up, if Cao Cao is really willing to retreat, Lu Bu is also happy to see it.

"Whoa!" Cao Xuan agreed, bowed and retired.

Cao Xing welcomed Cao Cao's envoys into the general's mansion, but when he saw a scribe come in, he bowed slightly to Lu Bu and said with a smile: "Xun Yu see Wen Hou." ”

"It turned out to be Gongda." Lu Bu knelt on the main seat, and did not get up to greet him, and now that the battle has been fought, he and Cao Cao have completely torn their faces, and Lu Bu is too lazy to pay attention to these red tapes, just pointed to his hand and said, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, Wenhou." Xun You nodded, sat down generously, and ignored the faint deterrent power of the generals in this hall.

Lu Bu knelt behind the case and did not speak, although his twenty-year ghost career, although limited to his personality and talent, did not make him a wise man who was as wise as a demon, but for the etiquette and knowledge of the Central Plains, it was real, and twenty years of spectators also allowed him to be completely calm.

Since Xun You didn't speak, Lu Bu would definitely not ask more, if he wanted to spend here, Lu Bu would also be willing to accompany him.

Chen Gong already had a certain immunity to Lu Bu's recent more and more calm performance, and seeing that Lu Bu was calm, he naturally wouldn't say much, and as for Gao Shun and the others, they wouldn't say much on this occasion.

There was an awkward atmosphere in the hall, Xun You glanced at Lu Bu a little helplessly, he didn't have much contact with Lu Bu, and his impression of Lu Bu was mostly hearsay, but just this calmness, he felt that the rumors in the market might not be credible, since Lu Bu didn't speak, it could only be started by him.

"I don't know what Wen Hou thinks, what is the situation in Xuzhou now?" Xun You looked at Lu Bu with a smile.

Lu Bu glanced at Xun You and said indifferently: "Gongda might as well say it bluntly, a certain is a vulgar martial artist, and he is not used to talking like this." ”

Even if he has seen Zhuge Liang's tongue arguing with Confucianism, but if he wants Lu Bu to learn, he can't learn it, but over the years, it has also made Lu Bu see some doorways, these scribes speak, don't answer, otherwise, just wait to be stunned by these people.

Xun You suddenly felt a little dry mouth, a lot of words that were originally prepared, but he couldn't say it for a while, his chest was jammed, his face showed a dry smile, he took a deep breath, and smiled at Lu Bu: "Now the five counties of Xuzhou, the four counties of Donghai, Langxie, Pengcheng, and Guangling have all been surrendered to Cao Gong, and the sixteen counties of Xiapi, in addition to Xiapi, the remaining fifteen counties are also in Cao Gong's pocket, only Wenhou is trapped in the lonely city, but why bother?" ”

Lu Bu smiled when he heard this, shook his head and said: "I thought that when Gongda came here, there must be a high theory, but I didn't want to persuade Yu to surrender." ”

Xun You smiled bitterly, he didn't want to be so direct, but talking to Lu Bu, he felt very difficult, took a deep breath and said: "Wen Hou, Cao Gong admires Wen Hou's bravery, and Wen Hou was also very happy to slash the national thief Dong Zhuo, Cao Gong and His Majesty admire Wen Hou very much, although there is a sword dispute, but in Cao Gong's heart, he has never thought of being an enemy of Wen Hou, and now Wen Hou is trapped in a lonely city, and the remaining momentum is exhausted, why do you want to do this useless resistance?" ”

Seeing that Lu Bu didn't react, Xun You continued: "If Wen Hou can join forces with Cao Gong to jointly support the Han family, with the courage of Wen Hou and the strategy of Cao Gong, why worry about the uncertain world and the Han family?" ”

"Now, I am already General Wei, the marquis of Fengxian County, I don't know if I enter Xuchang, how will Meng De treat me?" Lu Bu asked rhetorically.

This is also the reason why Lu Bu hesitated when Cao Cao surrendered, his officials were all above Cao Cao, if he surrendered, how would Cao Cao settle himself?

"Before you came, Cao Gong had made it clear that as long as Wen Hou was willing to enter the court, he was willing to recommend Wen Hou for the post of Lieutenant!" Xun You said with a smile.

Captain~

If it was Lu Bu in the past, I am afraid that he would have been moved at this moment, but now, Lu Bu can see it very clearly, although the Taiwei is the first of the three princes and is in charge of the world's troops, but in fact, it is a false position, once he really enters the court, I am afraid that he will be idle immediately.

"One last question." Lu Bu stood up, his legs were a little numb, looked at Xun You and smiled.

"Wen Hou, please speak." Xun You's spirit was shocked.

"Ding Yuan Dong Zhuo is in front of me, I have also walked out from Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao, Gongda doesn't want to tell so-and-so, Cao Cao is really not worried at all, right?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

When Xun You heard this, he didn't know how to answer for a while? How do you feel that this Lu Bu betrayed and betrayed his sense of superiority, shouldn't this kind of thing be used by the opponent to criticize you?

Xun Yu couldn't answer for a while.

"Thou art a famous man, and the two armies are at war, and thou shalt not be killed." Lu Bu put his hands behind his back, looked at the sky outside the hall and said: "Today, a certain person will not leave it difficult for you, bring a word to Cao Cao for me, Lu is rebellious by nature, can not be restrained, surrender is absolutely impossible, if you want Xuzhou, then attack this Picheng, take Lu Bu's head, otherwise, Lu Bu will live for a day, Cao Cao will not fight this Xuzhou idea again." ”

"Wen ......" Xun You's face was gloomy, and he said so much emotionally, he was playing with himself.

"Something has been said, when it has been made clear, Gongda or please go back, then the matter of Chen Hanyu's father and son, I have let me see the face of Er, let you leave, it is a courtesy, if you are entangled again, you will come and ask a certain Juque!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pulled it, and the giant sword on his waist was pulled out, and a terrifying murderous aura spread, and in an instant, the air in the entire main hall seemed to be a little thinner.

"In that case, I will take my leave." Xun You had no choice but to get up and salute Lu Bu.

"In addition, pass on another word to Cao Cao." Lu Bu looked at Xun You's back and said: "If you want to withdraw the army, take Xuzhou Mu in exchange, otherwise, these 50,000 troops can't eat, but with only a few hundred iron horses, I can halve the 50,000 army!" ”

"Wen Hou's words, you will bring!" Xun You took a deep breath, didn't look back, and walked straight out of the hall.
