Zhuge Jin used his own plan to secretly point out Chen Deng and Jian Yong, but he didn't act rashly immediately.

In the afternoon of the same day, Chen Deng quietly returned to the city, did nothing, and continued to keep a low profile - Zhuge Jin told him, but if he wanted to hurry, he would not be able to reach it.

Chen Deng now needs to continue to sing red faces and play the role of representing Lu Bu's interests. If it is exposed, the effect of the subsequent strategy will be reduced.

As for Jian Yong, he didn't return to Xiapicheng that afternoon, and disappeared directly after playing.

And Lu Bu didn't take strict care of him, so that Jian Yong walked for a whole day, and no one found out.

In the end, Chen Deng saw that the time was ripe, so he pretended to find an excuse to set up a banquet in his house, and then asked people to send invitations to various homes.

When it was sent to Jian Yong's mansion, he naturally "discovered" that people had gone to the courtyard, so Chen Deng sent someone to remind Lu Bu very "loyally".

Lu Bu personally inquired about it, but he really couldn't find it, so he gave up, and just asked Chen Deng how long it had been since he had seen Jian Yong.

Chen Deng said that he hadn't seen him for three or four days.

Lu Bu didn't doubt him, so he really felt that Jian Yong had already fled.

After another two or three days, the wind became calmer and quieter, and the episode was almost forgotten.

Jian Yong, who had been missing for "many days", suddenly returned to Xiapi in a high-profile manner, and he also brought Liu Bei's letters and seals, openly asking to see Lu Bu.

Obviously, his character is "rushed to Huaiyin after escaping from Xiapi, and was sent back after seeing Liu Bei".

Rao is Lu Bu didn't care about Jian Yong at first, but now he was also a little angry. On the same day, Jian Yong was officially summoned in the Xuzhou Pastoral Mansion, wanting to give the other party a little color.

Isn't it a provocation that you ran away and ran away, and after you ran away, you dared to come back openly to talk?

Jian Yong came to the main hall without humility or arrogance, and looked at Lu Bu deeply.

There were no civil officials standing next to Lu Bu, only Wei Xu and Song Xian, obviously he didn't plan to listen to diplomatic rhetoric today, he just wanted to bring a few reckless men who were executed and wanted the other party to look good.

"Piff! I left you in Xiapi to continue to be an official, you dare to run away to vote for Liu Bei, why do you dare to come back! Aren't you afraid that I will condemn you? ”

As Lu Bu spoke, he held the sheathed sword in his hand and waved it at will. Obviously, he didn't care about people like Jian Yong staying at all, all he wanted was majesty, and he wanted others to be in awe of him.

Jian Yong said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "The general and Xuande Gong have always been in harmony, and they have worked together to ensure the peace of Xuzhou. In the past few days at the general's office, I have also been assisting Xuande Gong to govern the place, so why should I go to it? ”

Of course, his lines have been taught repeatedly by Zhuge Jin, but he can speak so clearly, is not afraid, and has on-the-spot polishing, which can be regarded as a skill.

Zhuge Jin himself didn't want to reason with a reckless man like Lu Bu, because the other party was emotionally unstable. Zhuge Jin only likes to compete with other old yin people, the more yin people are, the more rational the laws of his words and deeds can follow.

And Lu Bu on the other side, after hearing Jian Yong's words, was also stunned for a while, and he didn't expect it to unfold like this at all.

I fought desperately with Liu Bei for the territory, and the person sent back by Liu Bei actually said that the two sides were still in a state of "working together", and they couldn't wake up?

Because he was so shocked, Lu Bu didn't know how to refute for a while.

Jian Yong had no choice but to take the initiative to remind: "Doesn't the general think what Xuan Degong said is wrong?" Xuan Degong still feels that the general is his help, and he works hard to help him stabilize the rear to prevent traitors from rebelling.

In order to commend the general's righteousness, Xuande Gong also drafted a letter to the Xuchang court. The table expounds the merits of this edict against Yuan Thief and breaking Guangling, and also says that the general's merits are second only to him.

If it weren't for the general's rebellion, the hinterland of Xuzhou would have been dedicated to Yuan Shu by the traitor, so Xuande Gong would have asked for Yuan's merit for this time, and the general would be Xuzhou Mu! Or the history of Xuzhou thorns! ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and when he heard this "or", he felt very strange.

And no matter why Liu Bei is expressed, but shouldn't the advice in the table be clear? Even if the imperial court does not allow Xuzhou Mu to be reduced to the history of assassination, it is also the punishment of the imperial court, how can Liu Bei provide multiple alternatives to the imperial court?

However, Lu Bu's surprise was quickly resolved by a small action by Jian Yong.

Jian Yong took out two scrolls from his arms, obviously two of Liu Bei's expressions, and it was still a choice to decide which one to hand over to the imperial court in the end.

Lu Bu has always been greedy for profits, and he was attracted by these two seals, so he didn't think about other rationality issues for the time being, but just chased this bait and asked:

"In this way, one of the two proposed seals is because of the merit of Xuzhou pastor, and the other is because of the Xuzhou thorn history? In the end, which one will be handed over, is that you want to negotiate some conditions with me? Can you take a look at it first? ”

"The general is really wise, and he can guess it." Jian Yong respectfully presented it and let Lu Bu take a look at it first.

Lu Bu first checked the seal of the watch seal and other handwritings to make sure that it was Liu Bei's—it really had Liu Bei's signature on it, as well as the big seal of General Zhendong.

Then he read the content with peace of mind, and then the more he watched, the more surprised he became.

"General Zhendong is preparing an edict to discuss Yuan ......"

"However, it is hateful that the Yuan thief secretly colluded with the Danyang thieves Cao Bao, Xu Tan, Zhang Kuang and others, and promised to make him a false position with a large profit, so that he could be the internal response and Yin to occupy the next Pi, so as to break the rebellion against the king......

"Fortunately, Lu Bu, the general of Pingdong who guarded Pei County, was heroic and decisive, desperate for himself, and rushed to the aid of the starry night when he heard the rebellion, and when Zhang Fei, the commander of Xiapi, and the rebel Xu Tan and other troops could not hold each other, he attacked the back of the Xu thief, and calmed the remaining thieves overnight, so that Xiapi would not fall into the hands of the Yuan thief, and also made the rebel Wang Shi not end up with no backup and collapse......"

"Later, Ji Ling, Liu Xun was annihilated, and Guangling was recovered, all of whom were grateful to Lu Bu for stabilizing the rear and transporting military supplies, and enabled the ministers to transfer Zhang Fei to the Huaiyin front line, desperately trying to break the thief's ......"

After reading it, Lu Bu was directly dumbfounded.

"Liu Bei actually said that my attack on Pi was a rebellion of the Ping Danyang soldiers to help him stabilize the rear?"

This is really unexpected, and he is invited to pay gold to his face.

Liu Bei was so endurable that he lost the three counties of Xuzhou, not only recognized it, but also helped him Lu Bu to lie, and also asked the court for officials like this?

But Lu Bu thought about it carefully, and this excuse did make sense.

As long as Liu Bei is willing to do this, the chances that the imperial court believes in it are still not small.

Because in the past month, although Lu Bu occupied the two counties of Xiapi and Pengcheng, he did not further hostile actions against Liu Bei's army in front - in the original history, Liu Bei tried to come back and counterattack to recapture it after Xiapi was stolen, so that the two sides would have a bloody battle, and they would completely tear their faces and not be able to act.

But the problem is that Liu Bei in this life was led to another path by Zhuge Jin's anti-heaven scheme, he chose to block the news and continue to smash Yuan Shu. Lu Bu was also happy to digest the territory that had not yet been stabilized first, and did not want to make more enemies, so he had been safe and sound for a month.

It is nominally reasonable to say that Liu Bei has insufficient troops and is unable to defend his home, and asked Lu Bu to help him stabilize his back road.

Lu Bu only felt that his brain was no longer enough, but the tone of his speech to Jian Yong was already much kinder: "Brother Xianhe, you said that Xuande Gong is willing to show me as the pastor of Xuzhou, but how can the imperial court believe what he says in his heart?" He said that I came to quell the rebellion of the Danyang soldiers, can this statement be concealed from Cao Cao? ”

Jian Yongzheng arched his hand: "My lord Xuande Gong has always been sincere to others, whether he can make Cao Cao believe it is really not something he can guarantee." But he tried his best to speak up and be honest.

Moreover, didn't the general notice the difference between the two seals? The first letter of the general was the assassin of Xuzhou, and there was less evidence needed, and Cao Cao refused to believe it, so it was all up to heaven's will.

The second seal of the general is Xuzhou Mu, which requires more evidence from the general and is more difficult, but it is also easier to be accepted by Cao Cao. Even if you can't actually seal the state pastor in the end, if you can get up and down, a thorn history should be no problem. ”

Lu Bu was blinded by interests just now, and he didn't have time to take a closer look at the conditions he needed to pay, and was reminded by Jian Yong, so he looked at it carefully, and then he noticed:

Liu Bei wrote relatively solemnly, and in the seal that stated him as the pastor of Xuzhou, there was an additional statement, that is, "Zhang Fei dedicated the head of the rebel Cao Bao to His Majesty, Lu Bu to the rebel Xu Tan, and Zhang Kuang's head to His Majesty".

That is, the three anti-thieves who were accused of being Yuan Shu's internal response were all killed, and the heads were taken to Xuchang to prove that he was jealous and hateful to Yuan thieves and would never be lazy.

The credit of your Lu Bu is to quell the rebellion and kill the traitor who should be the internal response to Yuan Shu!

If you don't take the traitor's head to Xuchang, the probability of Cao Cao believing you will of course be lower, and your credit will be much smaller.

If you send the head, although you don't dare to say that Cao Cao will believe it, at least the probability will be greatly increased, and your nominal credit will be much greater.

Lu Bu didn't have much friendship with those people, but after hearing about it, he couldn't help but think about it.

He very much needs the serious title of Xuzhou Mu, and needs the canonization of the imperial court to strengthen the legitimacy of his rule over the three central counties of Xuzhou, which is conducive to his quick and thorough acquisition of the territory.

It may even help him officially subdue Zang Ba, who is entrenched in Langya County.

In contrast, Cao Bao is dead anyway, and the head has been taken away by Zhang Fei. The remaining Xu Tan and Zhang Kuang, the two little fish and shrimp, what is there to be sorry for?

Cao Bao was originally the captain of Xiapi and the chief general of the Danyang soldiers under Tao Qian. And Xu Tan and Zhang Kuang are just other Simas around Cao Bao.

Moreover, Lu Bu himself has betrayed the Lord many times, so no one knows the betrayer better than him.

He knew that those people could sell Liu Bei yesterday, and they might sell him in the future, so what was the use of keeping such a disloyal and unrighteous villain?

Now there is a justifiable excuse to chop up, and then let Gao Shun's trap camp swallow the Danyang soldiers, isn't it beautiful?

The cruel and profitable Lu Bu couldn't help but order: "Song Xian, you go and order Gao Shun and ask him to invite Xu Tan and Zhang Kuang to come and ......"

When Song Xian and Wei Xu heard this, their faces immediately turned embarrassed.

Of course, they didn't care about the life and death of Xu Tan and Zhang Kuang.

But they know Lu Bu too well: sometimes Lu Bu makes a decision impulsively, and when he turns around and regrets it, he will be angry with others and blame the observers for not stopping him.

They have all suffered this loss, and they have been beaten with military sticks, so they persuaded them more:

"General...... The stakes are big, once the news is leaked, whether Xu Tan and Zhang Kuang are summoned or not, I am afraid it will be difficult to be good...... Do you ask the public station and Mr. Yuanlong to discuss together and then make a decision? ”

Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he was indeed reckless.

His original intention today was just to scare Jian Yong and beat this guy's provocation, so he didn't bring a strategist to listen.

This is not a team configuration to talk about foreign affairs at all, and it was almost circumvented.

Lu Bu felt embarrassed in his heart, and hurriedly coughed a few times to hide the softness of his ears, and then pretended to command majestically:

"Song Xian, you take Jian Yong down and ground! No outsiders are allowed to meet or talk to him! Wei Xu, go and invite Gongtai and Yuanlong to discuss the matter! ”

Wei Xu and Song Xian breathed a sigh of relief and went to do it immediately.

They have already reminded them that if there is a mistake in decision-making in the future, it is also the responsibility of Chen Gong Chen Deng.
