In the evening, Lu Bu was walking with his wife and concubine in the garden of the General's Mansion, looking at the scenery that was already vaguely green, Wei Xu's ghost flew to Lu Bu's side and said the words between Cao Cao and Cheng Yu in Cao's camp.

Cao Cao wants to form an alliance with himself?

Lu Bujian raised his eyebrows, but this result was something he didn't expect, and he hesitated for a while.

Cao Cao's grain and grass have now passed the Xiao Pass, and Lu Bu has the intention to rob again, although he has just robbed a large amount of grain and grass, which is enough to alleviate the urgent need, but the grain and grass are definitely not enough for Lu Bu at this time.

Even if Cao Cao withdraws his troops, Lu Bu will next appease the people, recruit troops and buy horses, which does not need to use grain and grass, in this war years, grain is hard currency, more valuable than any gold, silver and jewelry.

But forming an alliance with Cao Cao, for Lu Bu, is equivalent to being able to gain the support of the imperial court, at least he can rightfully sit in the position of Xuzhou pastor.

As for what Cheng Yu said, Lu Bu didn't care about the fight between him and the Chen family, Cao Cao and the others didn't guess wrong, even if Cao Cao didn't work hard in secret, Lu Bu was not ready to reveal the Chen family's account, and others didn't know how they would feel, but in Lu Bu's feelings, the Chen family's father and son were more hateful and hateful than Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

With Cao Cao and Liu Bei, it was a dignified confrontation, no matter how big the resentment was when the soldiers were defeated and died, there was nothing to say, but the Chen family father and son stole Xuzhou at the beginning, and stood on the face of Xuzhou City, and some villains were ambitious.

"Husband?" Seeing that Lu Bu suddenly wandered out of the world, Yan pushed Lu Bu with some concern.

"Oh, what's the matter, ma'am?" Lu Bu came back to his senses and looked at Yan with a smile, Yan's mood has improved a lot in the past two days, and his body has also improved a lot because of Lu Bu's continuous conditioning with soul pills, not to mention how strong he is, but at least his complexion seems to be much better than ordinary people.

If it was in the past, Lu Bu wouldn't dare to let her out in this weather.

"Think of some military affairs." Lu Bu smiled and said, Yan's spirit has not been stable in the past few days, and he will be by Yan's side when he is fine.

"My sister's complexion has improved a lot these days, and even her appearance and figure are much better than in the past, no wonder my husband has been with my sister all these days~" Cao Shi glanced at Lu Bu with some taste.

"My husband is worried about my body, so I'll ask my husband to accompany my sister tonight." Yan shook his head, the careful thinking in Cao's heart could not hide from her, in the past, Yan's health was not good, and Lu Bu almost spent the night in Cao's or Diao Chan's room, but in the past few days, as her body gradually improved, and the war has stabilized, Lu Bu and Yan's old love has been rekindled in the past few days, and it is indeed a little cold to this new wife.

The Yan family is not much different in age from Lu Bu, for these things, it is not as important as a little girl like the Cao family, he values the stability in Lu Bu's backyard more, as the eldest woman, she must give Lu Bu a stable home.

She and Lu Bu are a husband and wife in distress, from Lu Bu's obscurity to now being famous all over the world, along the way, Yan's character to Lu Bu knows better than anyone else, he is reluctant to scold his woman, the little girl wants to compete for favor, then let her fight, Cao Bao was killed by Zhang Fei, although the little girl now has relatives in Xuzhou, but the dearest is gone, and it is pitiful to think about.

Cao is the daughter of Cao Bao, not much older than Lu Lingqi, although she is commensurate with sisters, but for Lu Bu's second wife, Yan is often disciplined as a daughter, sometimes more harsh than Diao Chan, but as long as she doesn't break the rules, Yan treats her very well.

"Just listen to Madame." Lu Bu was in a good mood and said with a hearty smile, among his three women, the most respected is the Yan family, and the favorite is Diao Chan, but the most favored is the Cao family.

"Lord, there is a messenger from Cao Ying, asking to see the lord." After accompanying his wife and concubine for a while, he saw Cao Xuan hurriedly coming over and bowing to Lu Bu.

"Ask him to wait in the side hall." Lu Bu already knew about it, and he was not surprised by this, so he thought about it and said, "Invite Gao Shun, Qin Li, Gongtai and Wen Yuan as well." ”

"Whoa!" After Cao Xuan bowed, he turned to leave.

"If you have official business, go ahead, don't think about us." Yan Shi smiled when he saw Lu Bu's gaze.

"Madame, go and rest." Lu Bu nodded, turned around and walked towards the front yard.

He didn't go directly to the side hall, but found a quiet room, and after asking Wei Xun about the detailed situation, he had a bottom in his heart, and then ordered Wei Xu to continue to monitor Cao Cao, and at the same time summoned Song Xian and Zhou Yuan who had been brought back before, and ordered the two ghosts to monitor Chen Jue before going out to the side hall, when he arrived at the side hall, Cheng Yu, Qin Li, Chen Gong, Gao Shun, and Zhang Liao had already arrived.

"Zhongde is here, what is the matter?" Lu Bu sat down on his knees, looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Brother Meng De won't let you come to surrender to me again, right?" ”

"Don't blame Wenhou, my lord came to Xuzhou this time, but he was instigated by a traitor." Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled.

"Who is a traitor?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

"This ......" Cheng Yu looked at Chen Gong and the others with some hesitation.

Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Zhongde, but it doesn't hurt to say that there are no outsiders here. ”

"Don't hide it from Wen Hou, my lord had no intention of sending troops to Xuzhou this time, but he received a secret letter, saying that Wen Hou was tyrannical in Xuzhou and persecuted the people, and the soldiers and people of Xuzhou were looking forward to my lord's coming, and my lord did not suspect him, so he was calculated by the thief!" Cheng Yu said, handed a silk silk to Lu Bu, and said in a deep voice: "Now that my lord knows that this matter is due to someone calculating my lord and Wen Hou, and specially ordered Yu to resolve the conflict. ”

"Chen Jue is the traitor that Brother Meng De said?" Lu Bu put down the silk silk, looked at Cheng Yu and asked.

"Chen Qi is a famous person in Xuzhou, and we don't want to suspect it casually, but recently Cao Gongcai has been aware of the plot of Chen Qi's father and son, and for the sake of the overall situation, he came down with his talent and made peace with Wen Hou."

"Even if it is provoked by a traitor." Lu Bu looked at Cheng Yu and played with taste: "But the five counties of Xuzhou, after this battle, almost all of them were lost, Brother Meng De will not just want to use this sentence, so that nothing has happened to Ben Jiang, right?" ”

"What Wen Hou said is not bad, in order to show his sincerity, my lord specially ordered Yu to send the seal of Xuzhou Mu, and after returning to the dynasty, he will correct Wen Hou's name to the Son of Heaven." Cheng Yu smiled.

"That's not enough." Lu Bu supported the table with one hand, looked at Cheng Yu and said with a smile: "Now I want to have no soldiers, I want food without food, even if I am given the position of Xuzhou pastor, what is the use?" ”

"That Wen Hou means ......" Cheng Yu frowned slightly and looked at Lu Budao.

"I want the five counties to guard the right of appointment and dismissal, as well as the right to appoint and remove the county orders of Xuzhou." Lu Bu said indifferently.

It doesn't sound like a big deal, because since Lu Bu has received the Xuzhou pastor, the five county guards are naturally appointed by him, but today's Xuzhou, unlike more than ten years later, although the Han family is declining, but Yu Wei is still there, without the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court, at least in this Xuzhou, it is not recognized, why can Chen Deng be the Guangling Taishou? It was not Lu Bufeng, it was appointed by Cao Cao, and Lu Bu intended to win over the Chen family at that time, so that the Chen family could sit firmly in Guangling.

"This ......" Cheng Yu couldn't help but froze when he heard this.

"I know that Cao Jun has no food, and now the grain and grass in the car have reached Xiaoguan, right?" Lu Bu looked at Cheng Yu and said, "Give me an answer before tomorrow morning, otherwise...... No matter how quickly Brother Meng De withdraws, it is impossible for me to seize grain, but with only three or five hundred cavalry, it is not difficult to burn these grains and grass. ”

"Dare to ask Wen Hou, how do you know?" Cheng Yu stood up and looked at Lu Bu with an ugly face.

"Some people don't want Brother Meng De and these soldiers and horses to withdraw from Xuzhou safely." Lu Bu smiled and said, "It seems that the person who sent the letter did not lie to me. ”

Cheng Yu was shocked to realize that Lu Bu was deceiving himself, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, saying that Lu Bu was brave and unscrupulous, but in fact, it was only relative, at least after this battle of Xuzhou, it was not easy to deceive Lu Bu again.

Silently saluted Lu Bu and said, "You can't do anything about this matter." ”

"Before dawn tomorrow, if you can't wait for the news of Brother Meng De, you will personally lead three hundred iron horsemen out of the city, don't think about delaying, this time, there will be no hesitation!" Lu Bu stood up and said, "Send off!" ”

"Mr. Zhongdeok, please!" Cao Xuan walked in from outside the door and stretched out his hand to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu nodded with a wry smile, and after saluting Lu Bu again, he turned around and left.
