After Cao Cao made a plan with Xun Yu and others, he later called on Xia Houchun, Cao Ren, and Le Jin.
"Your mission this time is to pick up the food and grass sent by Lu Bu. If you don't come when the time comes, you can just go back.
If it comes, pay attention to Lu Bu and his army, especially if Lu Bu personally leads the army, be careful.
Even if Lu Bu has brought food and grass, you must not be careless. Beware of Chen Gong's deception. Remember to let Lu Bu lead his army to retreat before you go to receive the food and grass. "
After Cao Cao finished speaking, Cao Ren and Le Jin were a little worried. What they were worried about was not about receiving food and fodder, but about how Cao Cao would believe what Lu Bu said.
It was impossible for Lu Bu to surrender. When Lu Bu was weak, he did not surrender, but almost occupied their Yanzhou.
Now that he has occupied Xuzhou and became the Xuzhou Mu, how could he suddenly surrender again?
Cao Cao looked at the expressions of several people and instantly knew what they were thinking.
But Cao Cao can understand it, after all, he had the same idea at first.
Then, before the three of them could speak, Cao Cao spoke again.
"I know what you want to say, just go ahead and do it. You are very clear about the situation in Yanzhou now. Even if the hope is slim, as long as there is hope, you will always give it a try.
If successful, it will greatly alleviate the crisis in Yanzhou, and it will never happen again in the future.
If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter, it's just that your trip was in vain.
Now the army is about to implement the policy of farming. There is not much army that you can bring with you. I can only give you 10,000 people.
You all remember, you must be careful when you go here. Beware of Lu Bu leading his army to charge directly into the battle. You must send out scouts to investigate. If you really come with food and grass, you must let Lu Bu lead his army and leave first! "
Cao Cao repeatedly warned Cao Ren and the three of them. In fact, he felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he was unwilling to miss this opportunity.
In Cao Cao's view, as long as he was cautious enough, the most likely outcome would be that Cao Ren and the others would make this trip in vain, and they would not lose anything.
After hearing this, Cao Ren and the other two men responded gravely, and then went down to organize their troops and prepare to set off.
Zhang Liao and others in Xuzhou, after half a day of preparation, directly mobilized the army, and the preparations were completed.
Lu Bu also appeared and came to Zhang Liao and others to see them off.
"Wenyuan, when escorting the grain and grass this time, we must not let some nefarious people destroy the grain and grass.
Remember, after giving the grain and grass to Cao Jun, he will return. I am here, waiting for your return. "
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao and believed it in his heart. In his opinion, Zhang Liao was now the most trustworthy among his subordinates.
Now that Zhang Liao is going, and so many people are going with him, this is why Lu Bu thinks highly of Cao Cao, letting Cao Cao know that if he accepts his surrender, he can have so many generals.
Zhang Liao and others looked at Lu Bu and agreed.
"Please rest assured, my lord, the general will definitely return in triumph!"
Lu Bu didn't say anything after hearing this. Although he couldn't figure out how these people could return in triumph when they just gave them food, he didn't want to understand. Just return in triumph and let them be happy.
The army set off immediately. Lu Bu's heart gradually settled down as he looked at the army and the food and grass that were moving away.
In Lu Bu's eyes, as long as these grains and grass are sent over, Cao Cao will definitely believe in him, and he can fall into Cao Cao's arms.
Just as Lu Bu was thinking about it, Chen Gong's words came.
"My lord, the army has gone far, so there is no need to worry, lord. Wen Yuan is brave and resourceful, and with Xuan Gao and others by his side, he will definitely be able to complete what the lord has entrusted him to do."
Lu Bu also smiled and nodded, no longer thinking about it, and then looked at Chen Gong.
"What Gongtai said is true. With Wen Yuan leading the army, and Xuan Gao and Wen Xiang, they will be able to deliver it safely.
By the way, where is Chen Yuanlong now? Why didn't you see him? "
When Chen Gong saw Lu Bu suddenly asking about Chen Deng, he was also curious, but he responded quickly.
"My lord, Chen Yuanlong is presiding over mulberry farming outside the city, and he should be back soon."
Lu Bu was satisfied. He also specifically learned about Chen Deng. Ever since he became the captain of the Diannong School, he had indeed been very attentive. Chen Deng could be said to have contributed a lot to the fact that Xuzhou could have the food it has today and become a prosperous Xuzhou.
"Gongtai, please send someone to call Yuan Long. I have something to discuss with him.
This matter is about Nong Sang, so it would be better to ask him. "
Lu Bu spoke more because he was afraid that Chen Gong would think too much.
When Chen Gong heard Lu Bu's last sentence, he was even more surprised. Lu Bu was actually so careful?
He knew the meaning of this sentence. In fact, he didn't think much about it. On the contrary, Chen Gong hoped that Lu Bu could make good use of Chen Deng.
Chen Gong knew that Chen Deng was very talented, but he hoped that when Lu Bu used it, he also hoped that Lu Bu could guard against him. After all, their footing was not stable now, and everything was difficult to predict.
In particular, Chen Deng was a member of the Xuzhou gentry. Chen Gong knew the gentry very well because he himself was from the gentry.
What was also surprising was that Lu Bu actually became concerned about Nongsang. Chen Gong was really shocked.
Until he reacted, he had to sigh in his heart that Lu Bu had changed so much in the past two days.
People suddenly became gentle and attentive, and began to delegate power without any worries.
In addition to these, Chen Gong even fell in love with reading. The serious look on his face when reading made Chen Gong feel ashamed.
Moreover, he also began to sit in the rear, instead of going to the battlefield to fight, and he won people's hearts without leaving a trace, and he also directly changed the group of generals below.
There were many more, but Chen Gong didn't think about them one by one. In just two days, Lu Bu had changed so much. Chen Gong was now worried that Lu Bu had been stimulated by something, and he had changed so much.
If this person hadn't been able to remember all kinds of things, Chen Gong would have doubted whether Lu Bu had been tricked by someone.
Fortunately, Chen Gong was also someone who had experienced a lot, and seeing Lu Bu's step-by-step changes, although he was surprised, it didn't make him panic.
On the contrary, Lu Bu's change was what he hoped for. The previous Lu Bu only knew how to play with halberds, red rabbits, horses, and Diao Chan.
Now Lu Bu is gradually getting closer to the hero that Chen Gong thinks.
After regaining his composure, Chen Gong responded to Lu Bu.
"My lord, I will send someone to call Yuanlong right now, but my lord must remember that Chen Yuanlong must be used, but he must also be on guard.
Now that we are powerful, we don’t need to worry much, but if someone is more powerful than us, it will be dangerous. "
Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and nodded seriously, indicating that he understood.
Is there anyone more familiar with Chen Deng than him? Typical wallflower.
It's even more exaggerated than Lu Budu, and has no principles at all.
