5. Lu Bu's family
"Hahaha, Mr. Chen's words are wrong."
When Chen Gong heard this, he turned his head and saw a handsome young man talking.
This person has a white face and red teeth, and handsome facial features, but there is a slight morbidity on his face.
"I dare ask you, yes..."
"I am Liu Yu, whose courtesy name is Chang'an." Liu Yu said as he politely said to Chen Gong, "Mr. Chen must know that your lord Lu Bu is not a crime of fighting with the thief of Cao. Now that he is desperate, he will be in charge of my father's command. He should follow my father's arrangements, whether it is Pengcheng or Xiapi. This matter requires my father to arrange it, so how can he do things to cross the kitchen and replace the stake."
"This..." Chen Gong couldn't help but feel a little speechless as he heard the boy talking.
The next moment, he smiled at Liu Bei and said, "What Mr. Mu said is right, but Chen Gong has passed. I was worried about my lord before, so I hope Lord Mu of Zhou should not be surprised."
Liu Bei nodded and said, "The son is useless, sir, so I can forgive you. The reason why I arranged your master and Pengcheng was to prevent the Cao thief. Now Cao thief is powerful and must be guarded. But if he launches troops to invade, I will not sit idly by."
"Thank you, Lord Zhou Mu. When I go back, I will tell my Lord what Lord Zhou Mu means. Although Pengcheng is small, it is also a place to live. However, our army is now in short supply of food and grass, and the soldiers are exhausted. I beg the Lord Zhou Mu to give us some food and grass to solve the urgent problem."
After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said, "This matter is easy. Gongyou, go and prepare 10,000 chariots of food and grass for Mr. Chen to take it back first. If it is not enough, I will send someone to send it."
Chen Gong was a little stunned when he heard this. Ten thousand harbors of food and grass was not enough for the army to consume a month. With his understanding of Liu Bei, he should not give so little!
Do you want it again if you want it?
Chen Gong felt it was not suitable again, so he had no choice but to accept it.
After the official business, Liu Bei ordered a banquet to welcome Chen Gong. Chen Gong was still in the mood to drink at this time and politely declined Liu Bei's invitation.
Liu Bei did not force it at first sight and ordered someone to prepare a cart of wine and let him take it back to Lu Bu, which was considered a private gift from him.
After Chen Gong thanked him for a long time, he returned to Lu Bu with ten thousand cartons of food and a cart of wine.
When Lu Bu heard that Chen Gong was coming, he was very happy. What he feared most was that there was no food in the army. If these arrogant soldiers and generals started to make trouble, even Lu Bu would have a headache.
"Sir, how can I have 10,000 dan of food and grass? I have a total of 20,000 troops under my command. This little food and grass are not enough to consume for a month. Liu Xuande bullied people too much!" When Lu Bu heard the amount of food and grass, he immediately changed his face and said angrily.
"Don't be upset, lord, Liu Bei is cautious about our guardians. At present, lord is not strong enough, so please be patient." Chen Gong sighed and said.
"Hateful! Someone is in the palm of the hand, and the red rabbit and BMW under his crotch. Who is my opponent in the world? Now the tiger is in the flat sun, the dragon is swimming in the shallows, and Liu Xuande is not going to be able to control it?" Lu Bu said with a punch on the table.
"The lord is a little unbearable and will make a big plan. Now Liu Bei allows us to enter Pengcheng. After a few years of cultivation, the lord will be able to recover."
"Sir, can't you get more food and grass?" Lu Bu asked angrily after hearing Chen Gong's words.
"You need more food and grass! In fact, there is no way." Chen Gong said with a thoughtful speech.
"Oh!" Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this and asked quickly: "Sir, what can I do to just say that as long as someone can do it, I will definitely agree."
Seeing him asking, Chen Gong said, "Lord, do you still remember? When you escaped from Chang'an, you took away many palace artifacts. Although these things are exquisite, they are of little use to us now. Why not exchange them for food and grass for Liu Bei."
"This..." Lu Bu was a little reluctant to leave when he heard this.
This is the wealth he had finally saved up, with more than a dozen cars of gold, silver, treasures and exquisite utensils.
These items were saved by him after he invested in Dong Zhuo. Some of them were rewarded by Dong Zhuo, and some were found from Dong Zhuo's mansion. They were all the best things.
Now that it is time to take it out for food and grass, how could Lu Bu be willing to let it go?
Chen Gong knew what Lu Bu was thinking when he saw his expression, so he advised: "Lord, what's the use of these exquisite objects in troubled times? Why not exchange military rations? With a large army on his side, you can just grab the things you lost today in the future."
After hearing this, Lu Bu felt reasonable, so he gritted his teeth and said, "According to the sir, I will spread a truck of utensils and you can exchange them for food?"
Chen Gong thought Lu Bu had figured it out at the beginning!
As a result, he was still the lucrative Lu Bu.
"Lord, at least ten cars?" Chen Gong endured the urge to vomit blood and asked directly.
"What? Ten cars? No, absolutely not!" Lu Bu stood up and said.
"Why would it be eight cars?" Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu reacted so fiercely, so he asked again.
"There are too many eight-cuts! No, no!" Lu Bu shook his head and refused.
"Six cars, it really cannot be reduced. Lord, think about what happens if the army is out of food?"
"Oh, forgot. Six cars are all the same as six cars." When Lu Bu heard the two sons who had no food, he sat down dejectedly and sighed.
"Okay, it's not too late. I'll go find Liu Bei to change the grain."
"Sir... you are tired too, so you can rest for one night. It's not too late to go early tomorrow." Lu Bu stopped Chen Gong, who was about to go out.
After a moment of thinking, Chen Gong knew that Lu Bu must have wanted to pass the six-car objects first, and he didn't want to force him to do this.
So Chen Gong nodded and said, "Okay, I'll take a night off first and go to Xuzhou City tomorrow morning."
The next morning, Chen Gong led his men to drive Liu's cart straight to Xuzhou City.
Lu Bu took Liu Bei's handwritten letter and led the army to garrison Pengcheng.
When Liu Bei heard that Chen Gong was coming again, he felt very surprised. So he sent someone to invite him to the government office.
After meeting, Chen Gong tactfully told the story of using the palace artifacts for food.
Liu Bei was very interested when he heard this.
However, he did not agree immediately, but said he would discuss it with his subordinates.
In this way, Chen Gong and his group were arranged to live in the inn first.
"Father, you can change it, or even give them some more food and grass. But you have to add one condition." Liu Yu said directly when he heard this.
"Young Master, what conditions do you want to add?" Jian Yong asked curiously.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that the cavalry under my father's command is average. But when I heard that the Bingzhou wolf cavalry under Lu Bu's command was very heroic, I wanted to use a general under his command to go to Xiapi City to help train a cavalry. What do you uncles think?"
"It's amazing! This is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. Now Lu Bu has a request to me, and he is not afraid that he will not agree." Jian Yong smiled and clapped his hands.
