Chapter 015: Lu Bu's tool man

At the reception banquet the next day, Hao Meng saw Chen Gong's expression as usual, and he didn't know what the other party had planned.

Long Xiang was 'drunk' last night, and originally planned to cancel the reception banquet, but Lu Bu insisted on inviting him, so he could only go to the banquet in a state of exhaustion.

After taking a seat in the Taishou Mansion, Long Xiang hung his head and pretended to be transparent.

Lu Bu was obviously very concerned, he looked at Long Xiang who was bowing his head and asked, "Long Sima, is it uncomfortable?" ”

"Returning to General Yu, General Long is not very good because he is not accustomed to the water and soil."

Han Yin was afraid that Long Xiang would answer the wrong word, so he got up and answered in his place.

Lu Bu nodded in affirmation: "Maybe the food in the post house is not palatable, but today's wine and food are all top-quality in Xuzhou, you can taste more." ”

"The last will obey." Long Xiang hurriedly raised his head and hugged his fists in thanks.

As soon as he raised his head, he saw Lu Bu on the main seat radiant from a distance.

Long Xiang guessed that he should be the lord of Xuzhou, and he has not yet come out of the excitement period, but when he is besieged by Cao Cao's heavy troops in the future, this guy will have a scruffy beard, threaten to be hurt by wine, and order the soldiers to accompany him to quit drinking.

Lu Bu set up a banquet beyond the specifications, and arranged for all the military officers under his command to attend, such as Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Chen Gong and other celebrities were among them, but Gao Shun, the main general of the camp, was not trapped.

Long Xiang thought about the generals who knew Lu Bu at this time, and it would not be so abrupt to visit them one by one, but he didn't know that Gao Shun was sent by Lu Bu to do things at this time, and he collected the displaced people around Xiapi and did statistics.

After three rounds of drinking, Han Yin got up and bowed to Lu Bu.

He explained his intention again: "I don't know what Han said yesterday, has General Lu discussed it?" My father-in-law is still waiting eagerly in Huainan. ”

"Huh? Mr. Han, you may be seated. ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly, waved his hand and motioned for Han Yin to sit down, and then added:

"My daughter is young, and my clumsy wife is very reluctant, wait for me to persuade for a few more days, let's just drink today, talk more about Fengyue, and discuss the rest later."

Lu Bu moved his wife out as a shield, and Han Yinren didn't dare to go too far in the eaves, so he had to sit down and drink.

Han Yin thought that the other party was still calculating the conditions, and he didn't know how much dowry he would need, if Lu Bu opened his mouth, he wouldn't be able to get too much oil and water, and it seemed that he had to pay close attention to the activity.

Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others took turns to toast, and Han Yin was dealing with it independently.

Lu Bu was very curious: "Long Sima hasn't moved the cup for a long time, is it because Xuzhou wine is bitter?" ”

Long Xiang himself was touching the fish, and when he heard Lu Bu's name, he immediately got up, and hurriedly hugged his fists and explained with a smile: "The last general is soft-spoken, and the amount of alcohol is too bad, I dare not show ugliness in front of all the heroes, please forgive General Lu..."

"Young heroes can't drink? I heard that Long Sima once rode back to Zhang Fei alone, Zhang Fei was not afraid of alcohol? Hahaha..."

Lu Bu's words were like thunder on the ground, and his subordinates all knew that Zhang Fei was fierce, and they didn't believe that Long Xiang had this strength at all, so they all waited for Long Xiang to explain in person.

"This is a real person, last month in Huaiyin..."

Han Yin originally planned to help Long Xiang testify, but when he saw the generals in the hall, he didn't seem to want to listen to him at all.

He sat down with his own boredness, and stabbed Long Xiang, who looked unharmed at the next table, with his hand, meaning that your business will be solved by yourself.

Long Xiang immediately got up and clenched his fists, and Zhengse explained: "General Lu Rongyu, who will encounter Zhang Fei at the end of that day, is actually a clever retreat from the enemy, and it is all spread by outsiders, and it is impossible to count..."

"Huh?"

Han Yin's eyes widened, and he said in his heart that this is timid? What's wrong with having the audacity to admit it? Zhang Fei was not in front of him.

"Flattering? How to be ingratiating? Can you tell us about it? Lu Bu asked a series of questions, obviously interested.

Long Xiang nodded and replied: "That day, Zhang Fei was sleepy and tired, and because he hadn't eaten for many days, his strength was worse than in the past, but the last general also struggled to block before he picked up the Zhangba snake spear, Zhang Fei saw that our army was neat, so he didn't fight hard..."

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized, Lu Bu nodded and said with a little regret: "It turned out that the ring-eyed thief was hungry and out of strength, and Long Sima Ruo sacrificed his life to capture and kill this person at that time, it is estimated that he has become famous all over the world..."

"Sacrifice? Zhang Fei was still fighting, fighting hard, I don't know how many people would die, and the last general was afraid of his prestige, so ..."

Long Xiao lowered his head again and again.

Hao Meng in the hall heard the word sacrifice, and understood Long Xiang's thoughts better than others, his father sacrificed his life and did not get a good result, and it was impossible to fight with Zhang Fei at that time.

"Long Sima is really an honest general, but this kind of thing is really not easy to force, when I see that ring-eyed black guy in the future, I will definitely teach you a lesson or two."

Lu Bu stroked his beard, his face was full of pride, and he said in his heart that only his own position could fight back and forth with Zhang Fei.

"Thank you, General."

Long Xiang hugged his fists and thanked him, lamenting that Lu Bu was also a layman, and he was accidentally pretended by you, thinking that I want to have your force value, I will definitely fight with Zhang Fei for a while at that time, and I will not be afraid to block that spear.

As Long Xiang introduced Zhang Fei into the topic, Lu Bu joked with everyone about the 'ring-eyed thief', in short, there was no good word from Zhang Fei outside the words, which shows that Lu Bu and Zhang Fei do not deal with each other.

Long Xiang suddenly found that he was invited by Lu Bu, and perhaps the biggest purpose was to humiliate Zhang Fei behind his back, and he was completely a tool man in Lu Bu's eyes.

Thinking of this, Long Xiang 'poured out' himself with a few glasses of wine, and then was carried back to the post house by Cao Xing's people again.

In the remaining three days, Han Yin and Long Xiangbing divided into two ways to give gifts to Lu Bu's civil and military forces, leaving a good impression on the Yuan family in Xiapi.

Long Xiang is famous for being drunk in Xiapi, so in his follow-up visits, the other party is very interesting and does not prepare wine.

Three days later, Lu Bu sent someone to euphemistically reveal to Han Yin that Xuzhou was experiencing a food shortage recently, and he didn't need any other dowry to marry his daughter, hoping that Yuan Shu could support 200,000 Hu military rations, as well as some ordnance and armor.

Han Yin guessed that Lu Bu's tone was not small, but he didn't expect the other party to really open his mouth.

The higher Lu Bu's asking price for the dowry at this time, the less room Han Yin can operate.

Han Yin thought all the way, and finally planned to take a risk, after all, it was no problem to suffer Yuan Shu, who would let his lord be wealthy.

Yuan Shu took the gift list copied by Han Yin, and read it like a dish, yin and yang.

"200,000 yuan of military rations."

"Two thousand collars of armor."

"A thousand weapons."

"Three thousand silk cloths."

"A thousand gold."

......

"Lu Bu really has a lot of appetite, when his daughter is made of gold? Jin Ren'er is not so expensive. ”

Yuan Shu raised the gift slip and threw it on the ground, although Huainan could take it out easily, but Yuan felt very painful.

Han Yin picked it up carefully on the ground, and carefully explained:

"The lord is about to be proclaimed emperor, and Lu Bu thinks that the prince is marrying a wife, but he is actually the prince and concubine, so the dowry is relatively grand..."

"Hmm... Although his words were reasonable, he took the initiative to ask for it, which made me very uncomfortable. ”

Yuan Shu slapped on the table, and after Han Yin's explanation just now, his anger disappeared a lot.

Han Yin saw that Yuan Yuan's tone was relaxed, so he continued to speak: "Lu Bu is a martial artist, I guess I didn't think about it so much..."

"Okay, if you don't have the same knowledge as a puppet, I will let Wen Ze (Yan Xiang) prepare the things listed in the gift list."

Yuan Shu shook his head helplessly, and then added: "Has Zhang Jiong's letter been delivered?" ”

"The letter has been sent to Hao Meng, and the minister and Chen Gong have also mentioned it, and I don't know if they are brave enough..."

Yuan Shu sneered: "Next, while preparing for the dowry, while waiting for the news of Xuzhou, Lu Bu's style is extremely bad, and it is only a matter of time before his subordinates rebel, Hao Meng is now in charge of the defense of Xiapi City, and the possibility of success is quite high, if this person can really capture and kill Lu Bu, I will take advantage of the situation to take Xuzhou." ”
