Chapter 42 Lu Bu came to vote
In September, Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, and all the dozen cities along the way were massacred, and none of the more than two million people were spared. Just when Cao Cao's troops were at the foot of Pengcheng City, Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others welcomed Lu Bu into Yanzhou. Cao Cao returned to the army to fight Lu Bu fiercely. The two armies fought evenly, and the outcome was difficult to distinguish. Lu Bu sent people to ask for help, but Xie Chengbin did not agree.
In October, Ding Jie returned. Although he hadn't seen each other for half a year, Ding Jie still looked cold. Xie Chengbin was worried about the family and sent ten more confidants to protect them.
At present, the troops under Xie Chengbin's command are strong, but there is no target around him to attack. Go north, Gongsun Zan is about to perish. Even if Xie can take advantage of it, the defense line will be too long and difficult to defend. Yuan Shao is in the northwest and cannot move for the time being. Xuzhou in the east has no reason to attack, and it is Wuming. Cao Cao in the west is also an ally. If he gets into trouble with Cao Cao, it is estimated that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao will jointly attack him, which is not worth it.
Time flies, and it is February 185 AD. It is spring plowing time again. Before I know it, Xie Chengbin has been here for a year. The territory of Qingzhou is full of military and civilians and guests busy in the fields; women are washing clothes by the stream; children are chasing in the open space, both men, women, young and old, with happy smiles on their faces, and they look full of vibrant scenes, everything is so beautiful.
The Cao-Lu army fought for half a year. Xie Chengbin once sent a large number of scouts to observe every battle between Lu Bu and Cao Cao, to see how others fought, and what would he do if he were.
The Lu army was ultimately defeated Cao's army. Lu Bu and his remaining troops rushed straight to Xie Chengbin from Qingzhou. It happened that day that Xie Chengbin came to Dong'a to find Dian Wei to hunt. When he learned that Lu army was coming, he sat in the lobby of the county government waiting.
Anyway, waiting was a waste of time, so Xie Chengbin took a look at Dong'a's official documents casually. Ding Jie and Zhang Fei stood behind Xie Chengbin, and other officials were unable to enter.
Not long after, Xie Chengbin heard the footsteps and looked up, and saw three people outside the door walking towards the gate. The leader strodes a meteor when he was walking, and was obviously two meters tall. He was majestic, with a golden crown on his head, a battle robe with flowers, a Tang Dynasty armor, and a lion-man treasure belt. He looked majestic and very majestic!
The three of them walked into the lobby in a blink of an eye and bowed to Xie Chengbin.
"I heard that the envoy is respectful to the wise and the nobles, and is righteous and has no right to the sky. He treats the people like his father and treats soldiers like his son. If the envoy does not abandon him, he will be willing to obey the order!" Lu Bu's voice was like a bell, which was comparable to Zhang Fei! Because Xie Chengbin's hearing was extraordinary, his eardrums were very uncomfortable. Xie Chengbin stood up and walked to Lu Bu, and observed the great man of the Three Kingdoms war god up close. "Wen Hou's words are not the truth!"
"This...hehe! I'm joking, I'm here to join you sincerely." Lu Bu seemed to be touched by Xie Chengbin, and he was immediately uncomfortable and smiled reluctantly. Although Xie Chengbin didn't understand history, anyone who had played the Three Kingdoms game knew that Lu Bu turned against Liu Bei not long after he defected to Liu Bei, so Xie Chengbin was a little worried. "Wen Hou is a man, he should tell the truth."
"Oh! The envoy doesn't know how loyal to the Han Dynasty when he fought bravely on the frontier, but he was determined to be a high-ranking official and generous salary to glorify his ancestors. Last year, he was deceived by Jia Xu's old fox and said that Dong's thief was loyal and righteous, and how could he admire him? He accidentally killed Ding Yuan. Later, he realized that Dong's thief was so unpardoned. He wanted to kill him, but Dong Zhuo was very suspicious and was very cautious, so he had no idea how to start. Finally, in Chang'an, he took advantage of Dong's thief being unprepared and stabbed his halberd. The envoy guessed what the result was?" Seeing that Xie Chengbin had no airs, Lu Bu complained to Xie Chengbin. In the end, he forgot his identity and said that he was whispering and whispering. Because of this, Xie Chengbin was also curious. "What's the result?"
"Hehe! Someone hit Dong Zhe's ass! Dong Zhe was hurt and knew that he could not escape, so he asked me to let him go. I endured it for so long, how could I agree to kill Dong Zhe? So I killed Dong Zhuo! But after killing Dong Zhe, no one from the princes of Guandong was willing to take Yu, so I followed Yuan Shao. He did his best to defeat the Black Mountain Army under Yuan Shao's tent, but he asked Yuan Shao to lead more troops. Yuan Shao actually hated Yu. Seeing that the situation was not good, he led his troops to leave overnight. Yuan Shao actually sent troops to chase him! If the Red Rabbit had not run fast, he might have died without a place to bury him! Humph! What about Yuan Gong, a narrow-minded villain!" Lu Bu was filled with anger when he said this, Xie Chengbin subconsciously took a step back to avoid the fire.
"After fleeing to Hanoi, I heard that Cao Cao was very wise and was a hero, so he led his troops to serve. He expected that the Cao thief would massacre the people! Humph! What a bullshit hero, but he was so good! Fortunately, the hero of Yanzhou was promoted and presented a seal of Yanzhou. It was hard to refuse such kindness. He was willing to let go and fight with the Cao thief, but he was still defeated by Cao thief. He heard that the envoy Qingzhou was strong and strong, and he and two thousand soldiers outside the city came to serve!" Lu Bu finally finished speaking and clasped his fists to Xie Chengbin again.
"I believe that Marquis Wen is not a person who forgets his righteousness when he sees profit, otherwise how could the soldiers under his command be with him? Marquis Wen is a peerless general, unique, like a tiger! He is determined to recruit and is afraid of being eaten by you!" Xie Chengbin wiped the saliva from Lu Bu on his face, feeling that Lu Bu seemed not so bad, but he was still a little worried. Lu Bu felt happy when he heard the previous few words, but when he heard the last words, it was like a stone sinking into the sea, and it was over. "Envoy..."
"Don't be anxious when Mr. Wen!" When Lu Bu was still trying to speak, he was interrupted by Xie Chengbin and Xie Chengbin. "It's not that he can keep Mr. Wen, but that's not that he can give Mr. Wen. It's better to give Mr. Wen's elite soldiers, 1,000 elite cavalry, and 50,000 stones of food. I wonder what Mr. Wen wants to do?"
"Thank you for your kindness. As a reward, I would like to go to Yanzhou to offer your seal and ribbon to the envoy! Hum! I will definitely fight against Cao thieves!" Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this, and it was difficult to suppress his excitement. Xie Chengbin reached out and held Lu Bu's hand. Lu Bu didn't know why, but did not resist, and followed Xie Chengbin to the corner of the lobby. "Mr. Wen didn't know what it was. The reason why he did not send reinforcements to Mar. Some time ago, was because Cao Cao and Mr. Wen were allies, and it was difficult for him to come forward to support him. Not only that, but even Yuan Shao in the north was also Cao Cao's allies. It was an unwise move for Mar. Wen and Mr. Wen fought against Mar.
"Oh...no wonder, so that's it. What should I do? Go north to attack Gongsun Zan? I heard that Gongsun Zan killed Liu Yu and was defeated by Yuan Shao, so I can take the opportunity to seize Youzhou!" Lu Bu suddenly realized and expressed his thoughts when he heard this. Xie Chengbin shook his head and pretended to ponder for a moment. "No! Yuan's army is powerful. If Marquis Wen is defeated by him, he will die without a place to bury him. It is better to go south to Xuzhou. I heard that Tao Qian's health will be worse day by day. If Marquis Wen wins, he will be firmly in charge of the governor of Xuzhou. If Marquis Wen is defeated, he can also send troops to reinforce him. What?"
"Cancer, it's amazing! The scholar is good, and he thinks carefully everywhere! I remember the great kindness of the envoy. If you give me an order in the future, I will send someone to Xuzhou to say something, and go through fire and water without hesitation!" Lu Bu's eyes shone and almost drooled. When he assured Xie Chengbin, he slapped his chest and pounded. Xie Chengbin nodded and smiled mysteriously. "Remember to take good care of his discipline and don't let the soldiers rob the people's property. I have today, it depends on the support of the people."
When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly felt like a thief caught on the spot, extremely embarrassed.
The negotiation reached a conclusion, and the two of them held hands and looked at each other and smiled.
The next day, Xie Chengbin ordered Dian Wei to call out 10,000 soldiers and 1,000 cavalry without kicks and told them that this time was an expedition. They all had several months of training experience, and they were basically considered strong, but they were not infected by the virus. Lu Bu expressed his satisfaction.
After seeing Lu Bu off, Xie Chengbin conducted undercover inspections as usual. The so-called undercover inspections are not difficult, just a casual walk. Although the law enforcement department always says in the official documents that nothing is serious, if he doesn't come to the grassroots level in person to check, he doesn't know whether it is true or false, and it can be considered a test.
Xie Chengbin crossed his hands on his chest and walked aimlessly in Dong'a City. Ding Jie followed behind in obscurity. Both of them put on makeup and dressed up in the people. It was evening, the time to go to the market, and the period of tax collection. Although the people on the streets were not as crowded as Dongpingling, they were also quite lively. There were all kinds of fruits, meat, vegetables, furniture, clothes, toys (clay men), and daily necessities.
"Selling jewelry! Selling jewelry..." Xie Chengbin was attracted by the shouts and suddenly wanted to buy one for Gao Xu's daughter, so he squatted down next to the street stall to take a look. The street stall is not big, but because the jewelry is small and there are many, it looks dazzling. He didn't know what to buy for a while, so he picked up a wooden hairpin to see. The stall owner was a middle-aged woman. When he saw a customer, he immediately promoted it, even if the other party was a man. "The customer's eyes were good. This jewelry was made by the famous craftsman XX of Dongpingling. Whether it was to send elders or wives and concubines, it only cost two cents, which was absolutely worth the money!"
The price is not a problem. The problem is that I don’t know if she looks good when wearing it, or whether she likes it? Just when Xie Chengbin was puzzled, two women also squatted down to choose jewelry. One of the women saw that the hairpin in Xie Chengbin’s hand looked beautiful, but he didn’t speak, but just stared at the hairpin. The other woman actually reached out to snatch it when she saw this! Xie Chengbin reflexed and took back his hand. "What do you want?"
