Entering Pengcheng for the third time, Lu Su couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
Different from last time, this time Lu Bu met him not at Mi's house, but in the government office flower hall.
Obviously, the transfer of power in Pengcheng has finally come to an end. Tao Qian's era has passed, and Lu Bu officially took over Pengcheng.
When Lu Bu saw Lu Su coming in, he took a few steps forward, grabbed him with a smile, and said, "Zijing is frightened! Please come in quickly!"
Lu Su cupped his hands towards Lu Bu and smiled bitterly and said: "Marquis Wen, we meet again... Thanks to Marquis Wen for rescuing me, Su is very grateful."
"Hey! What are you talking about? As long as everything is fine! Come on, sit down and talk, have a glass of wine to calm down!" Lu pulled Lu Su into the hall and sat down.
The two of them sat down and had a glass of wine. Lu Bu shook his head and sighed, "Hey! How could such an unfortunate thing happen?
As soon as I received the news that your team was held hostage by Cao Cao's men, I didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly asked my men to negotiate.
Who would have thought that Cao Cao would not give me face? Not only would he not let Yuan Yao go, he would also demand a huge ransom from me!
I have no choice but to let someone redeem you Zi Jing first. Come on, come on, if you survive the catastrophe, you will be blessed. "
Lu Su held up the wine bottle this time but was not in a hurry to drink. Instead, he looked at Lu Bu and smiled bitterly: "Marquis Wen, you are a smart man, and you should not treat Zijing as a fool.
I have walked back and forth several times, and it has long been confirmed. I have never encountered any risk before.
It just happened that I encountered Cao Cao's men just after leaving Xuzhou this time. Do you think I would believe this is a coincidence?
Let me make a random guess. Did Marquis Wen have already reached a private agreement with Cao Cao, and this time he used this method to deliberately disgust Yuan Shu? "
Lu Bu was not embarrassed at all after his little trick was exposed. Instead, he laughed a little proudly:
"Sure enough, this little trick can't be hidden from you, Zi Jing! You guessed it right, that's pretty much what it means!"
Lu Su smiled bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly: "Thank you Marquis Wen for fishing me out."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Originally I didn't want to embarrass you, Zijing, don't blame me for being too mean.
If I hadn't known about Tao Qian and Yuan Shu's plot in advance, do you think I would still be here chatting and laughing with you now? "
Lu Su sighed and said: "Marquis Wen doesn't need to explain. I know that the world has long been ruined. Only the strong can survive."
Lu Bu nodded and said: "Zijing, you are a smart man, and you should be able to see that Yuan Shu is nothing but a distinguished family background.
Apart from anything else, this time Yuan Yao, Ji Ling and Zhang Xun were caught by me. Yuan Shu only wanted to get his son back, but he didn't ask a single question about his beloved general.
In order to redeem Yuan Yao, he did not hesitate to exchange tens of thousands of people. In his eyes, people's lives are like grass!
What future can such a person have? Zijing, don’t you know clearly? "
Lu Su said helplessly: "No need to say anything, Marquis Wen. I just want to protect the safety of my Lu family in troubled times. Originally, I had no choice but to send Marquis Wen as an envoy...
I know that Marquis Wen intends to recruit her, and I am grateful for Marquis Wen's wrong love. However, the Lu family has long been entrenched in Linhuai and cannot move.
If I come to join Marquis Wen, with Yuan Shu's temper, I'm afraid I will soon be angry with the Lu family..."
Lu Bu said: "People can't help themselves in the world. I already know Zijing's difficulties, and I won't force others to do anything."
Lu Su said with some gratitude: "Thank you Marquis Wen for your understanding..."
Lu Bu said with a smile: "After I take Jiujiang, if Zijing is willing to join my army, I will welcome him!"
When Lu Bu said that he wanted to capture Jiujiang, Lu Su couldn't help but twitch his lips.
But think about it again, which of the current princes has no ambition? In this world, if you don’t eat others, you will be eaten by others.
Because he said: "Thank you so much for your love, Marquis Wen! Marquis Wen is both civil and military, possessing both political integrity and talent, and he will definitely be able to achieve a great career in the future!"
It doesn't cost anything to flatter someone, so it doesn't hurt to say a few nice words first!
Lu Bu smiled lightly and said: "Zijing just stays in Pengcheng, you will be my honored guest.
There will be no one else this time. You can stay as long as you want. I won’t force you to stay when you want to leave. It’s all up to you! "
Lu Su smiled bitterly and said: "Thank you Marquis Wen for your kindness, I'd better go back to Shouchun as soon as possible to deliver the mission.
After I get rid of this job, I will go back to Dongcheng and pretend to be sick to stay in seclusion. "
——
But it is said that Guan Yu and Liu Bei stationed troops east of the new city of Pengcheng that day, but they were killed by Lu Bu and suffered a great defeat.
He got separated from Liu Bei again. Guan Yu also tried to find Liu Bei's whereabouts, but Liu Bei had already escaped. Where could he find him?
He also heard that Xiapi City had been lost and Tao Qian had been imprisoned by Lu Bu. Guan Yu did not dare to stay in Xuzhou for a long time, so he had no choice but to go to Yanzhou.
On the way, they happened to encounter Cao Cao's army wearing sackcloth and filial piety.
Hearing that Cao Cao was going to attack Xuzhou, Guan Yu immediately thought: Since he can't find his eldest brother and his third brother, why not try to borrow Cao Cao's power?
So he went to Cao Cao and roughly explained the matter.
Cao Cao liked Guan Yu's talent when he first attacked Dong Zhuo. Now that he saw Guan Yu come to surrender, he was naturally happy and wanted to keep it for his own use.
But I heard that Guan Yu said that he wanted to use his own strength to find Liu Bei's whereabouts. Cao Cao knew that if Guan Yu found Liu Bei, would he still mess with him?
So they used Guan Yu's fatigue as an excuse to let Guan Yu rest in Changyi and wait for news.
After Guan Yu had lived in Changyi for a while, he was extremely bored. He was thinking about whether to go out on his own and inquire about the whereabouts of his elder brother Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, Cao Cao actually sent a team of people to send his wife and children to Changyi!
Guan Yu was pleasantly surprised and couldn't help but be a little confused, because he asked Hu Jinding what happened.
Hu Jinding did not dare to hide anything, so he told how he was captured and how he met Lu Bu. When Lu Bu heard that Guan Yu was here, he handed their mother and son to Cao Cao. Cao Cao asked someone to escort him to Changyi to reunite with Guan Yu. .
Of course, he never mentioned dancing for Lu Bu.
After hearing this, Guan Yu couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart: Lu Bu was a lustful man, and Cao Cao had a reputation as Cao Cao's wife.
My daughter-in-law has been in the hands of these two notorious people, so there will be no accidents...
Cao Cao wanted to recruit him wholeheartedly, and he would not do anything outrageous in the future.
As for Lu Bu... Guan Yu wanted to ask, but he couldn't ask. After all, as a man, it is a shame to fail to protect his wife and children.
Yin changed the subject and asked: "You are from Lu Bu, do you have any news about your elder brother?"
The smile on Hu Jinding's face suddenly became stiff.
After suffering so many grievances, he took his son back to Guan Yu after all the hard work. When he met Guan Yu, instead of asking if he and his child were okay, he first asked if there was any news about Liu Bei!
Her status in Guan Yu's heart is not as good as Liu Bei's, so is her son not as good as Liu Bei's?
Thinking of what Lu Bu said again, Hu Jinding felt more and more aggrieved, his nose was sore and his eyes were red.
