Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and held Chen Gong's hand with both hands, full of excitement.
"Bu, believe in Gongtai!"
They both laughed immediately, and then started talking about business again.
"Gongtai, the purpose of going to Yuan Shao in Jizhou this time is twofold. First, it is to prevent Cao Cao from getting what he wants. The more Yuan Shao supports him, the faster Cao Cao will recover. This is very detrimental to us.
Now that Yuan Shu is stopped by us, Cao Cao's role in Yuan Shao will definitely be weakened, but it is still very likely to be completed.
As for Guo Jia, just think of it as an extra, otherwise we won’t raise any conditions and it will make Yuan Shao suspicious.
As for when you arrive, as long as you can achieve your goal, it's up to you to decide. "
After hearing this, Chen Gong nodded solemnly. This task seemed simple, but it was not that simple.
"Lord, don't worry, I know."
Afterwards, Lu Bu talked about another matter with Chen Gong.
"By the way, Gongtai, before you set off, please arrange for someone to contact Gongsun Zan as soon as possible. There is a young general under Gongsun Zan named Zhao Yun, named Zilong, who is from Changshan. He followed Tian Kai and Liu Bei to rescue Xuzhou.
Although this man is young now, his martial arts skills are astonishing, and he is especially proficient in the art of cavalry. My Wolf Cavalry lacks such a great general to lead it.
However, this person is now serving under Gongsun Zan, but he is not taken seriously by Gongsun Zan. Therefore, this is an opportunity for us.
Gongsun Zan is now being pressed hard by Yuan Shao, and his life is very difficult. Even Qingzhou is about to disappear. If we can help him at this time, at the same time, as a noble prince like me, I also need to face things. Zhao Yun exchanged it to cover up, and Gongsun Zan must have agreed.
For this reason, I plan to exchange 30,000 hu of grain and two bed crossbows for Zhao Yun from Gongsun Zan.
Once Gongsun Zan agrees to this deal, I will make a lot of money. In my eyes, Zhao Yun alone can equal an army, and he is a rare general. I don't want to miss this opportunity. Can Gongtai help me arrange it? "
Lu Bu was extremely satisfied with Zhao Yun. Who didn't love Zhao Zilong who was in and out of Changbanpo seven times and who was full of courage? Moreover, his wolf cavalry lacked a cavalry leader like Zhao Yun.
Moreover, the current relationship between Zhao Yun and Liu Bei is relatively weak. Zhao Yun just has a good impression of Liu Bei. Even though his chance is also small, compared with others, he still has a certain chance.
As for Zhao Yunzhonghan? Lu Bu never thought that whether Zhao Yun surrendered to Gongsun Zan or Liu Bei proclaimed himself emperor, judging from these two events, Zhao Yun's loyalty to Han was even more illusory. However, Zhao Yun cared about the people, and Lu Bu believed this to be true.
After Liu Bei captured Yizhou, Zhao Yun really suggested to Liu Bei the policy of treating the people well, but it was just not adopted in the end.
From this point of view, with the rice he is growing now, he feels that he has a great chance of conquering Zhao Yun, even greater than Le Jin's chance.
Lu Bu's eyes became more and more eager, and his mood became more and more excited.
But Chen Gong was full of seriousness. He exchanged 30,000 hu of grain and two beds and crossbows for Zhao Yun. Is this deal really worthwhile?
However, looking at Lu Bu's eager look, Chen Gong couldn't say anything if he objected. After thinking for a moment, Chen Gong simply let Lu Bu do whatever he wanted for once. Wasn't it just 30,000 grains of grain and two bed crossbows? Just think of it as lost.
"My lord, if this matter is really going to be done, my lord can go to Gao Shun and ask Gao Shun and the young master to come forward, and the young master's coming forward will definitely make Gongsun Zan believe it, and the young master's presence there also means that The lord is there.
And now Gongsun Zan is indeed in urgent need of help. With the help of his lord, he will definitely grasp this straw. In fact, it doesn’t even need 30,000 hu of dendrobium. It can be achieved with 10,000 hu of dendrobium. But 30,000 hu of dendrobium can make Gongsun Zan know. The intensity of our support for him.
This should also be good news for him. As for the two bed crossbows, these are the weapons he urgently needs. In exchange for Zhao Yun, who he does not reuse, he will definitely succeed! "
After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded. What Chen Gong said was indeed the best way to deal with it at the moment. It was enough to let Lu Lingqi and Gao Shun come forward.
As for the others, Lu Bu has no choice for the time being. He is just waiting to repel Cao Cao and Liu Bei, and then send troops to Yuzhou. Whether it is Xu Chu, Chen Dao, or even Liu Pi, Gong Du, and Liao Hua, Lu Bu has no choice. Plan to leave it to Liu Bei.
After all, they are now enemies of life and death. Either he dies or he dies. He, Lu Fengxian, has no choice. Leaving talents for Liu Bei and Cao Cao is making himself uncomfortable and laying hidden dangers for himself.
Lu Bu stopped thinking about it, then looked at Chen Gong and spoke softly.
"Okay, let's follow what Gongtai said. I will send someone to write to Gao Shun later. As for Gongtai, Yuan Shao will have a hard time with you. Get ready as soon as possible and set off as soon as possible. I will dispatch twenty wolf cavalry to accompany you. Together, we protect the safety of the public platform.
Try to complete the communication with Yuan Shao as soon as possible and come back early. Xuzhou's affairs cannot be separated from you, Gongtai. "
Chen Gong also knew that there were no other scribes under Lu Bu now, and he knew Xuzhou's current difficulties, so he nodded in response.
"This trip to the palace will definitely live up to the Lord's trust and come back as soon as possible!"
The two talked for a while, and Chen Gong went down to get ready. Now that time waits for no one, Chen Gong finally decided to pack up and leave today so that he could return as soon as possible.
Lu Bu turned around and came to Le Jin's room. Although Lu Bu and Le Jin had said that they could walk in the small courtyard when they were bored, Le Jin never left the room, and Lu Bu was helpless about this.
When he came to the room, Le Jin was still as before. After seeing him, he was like a wax statue, motionless and did not speak.
Lu Bu had no intention of chatting with Le Jin now and got down to business.
"Two days ago, I wrote to Cao Cao, saying that I would exchange one of Cao Ren or Xiahou Dun for Wen Qian's family. However, Cao Cao did not reply. Today, the intelligence came. It turned out that Liu Bei brought an army of 20,000 to 30,000 people and countless money and food to go. He went to Yanzhou and defected to Cao Cao.
Moreover, the two of them are very likely to use troops against Xuzhou. I have already sent Xuan Gao to lead 10,000 people to Xiaopei. If Cao Cao and Liu Bei really come to invade Xuzhou, I will lead the wolf cavalry there.
I told Wen Qian this because I wanted Wen Qian to be prepared. When the time comes, I will bring you, Cao Ren, and Xiahou Dun with me.
You also know that Cao Cao and I have become mortal enemies and cannot reconcile. This time, I will use Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun to exchange Wen Qian's family with Cao Cao. I believe Wen Qian knows the abilities of Cao Ren and Xiahou Dun better than me.
Even though the tiger will return to the mountain this time to strengthen Cao Cao's strength, in my opinion, Lu Fengxian, as long as Wen Qian is here, it is worth it.
Having said that, I am going to prepare the army, Wen Qian, just be prepared. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he walked out, still leaving a jar of wine for Le Jin.
Le Jin turned his head at this time, looking at the opened door, as if watching Lu Bu's leaving figure. Then he looked at the wine on the table, feeling extremely complicated and unhappy in every possible way.
Not long after, Le Jin slowly walked to the table, picked up the jar of wine, his eyes were a little red, and he took a big sip, and then came outside the room.
The dazzling sunlight made it difficult for Le Jin to open his eyes for a while, but soon he got used to it, came to the small pavilion that could only accommodate two people, and started drinking the wine sent by Lu Bu.
However, drinking to soothe my sorrows made me even more sorrowful, and my cheerful mind was already in chaos.
