Chapter 4 Routines

Xianbei, Wangting.

In the expectation of Putou's eyes, Zheluo finally came back. But when he saw Zheluo's expression, Putou's heart couldn't help but sink. However, at this moment, Zheluo's face turned ashen, his eyes were a little red, and his heart felt a little cold when he saw it.

"Mr. Zheluo, how about it?" Putou quickly invited Zheluo over and asked with a trembling voice.

"Oh~" Zheluo looked at Putou, shook his head and sighed in Putou's confused gaze: "Shanyu, the humble official has to be trusted!"

"Does Lu Bu have to destroy my royal court?" Putou said in despair.

"Not this!" Zheluo shook his head and smiled bitterly: "But Lu Bu's request is very big, which is almost the same as destroying my royal court."

"Oh?" Pu's eyes moved, and he looked at Zheluo, and said with some expectation: "What do he want?"

"The population is 40,000, each of cattle and sheep is 200,000, each of which is 10,000 excellent horses, and there are 10,000 excellent war horses." Zheluo said bitterly.

"This..." Putou stared at Zheluo with his eyes wide open, then sat down to the ground in a depressed voice, "What should I do? The population of 40,000 is easy to say. Give him 40,000 women, but if the others are given, our royal court will not have to live."

"Oh~" Zheluo sighed helplessly and sat down. For a moment, both sides lost their words.

After a long time, Putou looked at Zheluo, pulled his clothes and said, "Mr. Zheluo, you must help me. You are resourceful here, and you must have a solution."

"Shanyu should know..." Zheluo smiled bitterly, "Then Lu Bu is not a reasonable person, and he has tried his best to talk to me."

"Sir, there will be a way." Putou pulled Zheluo and refused to let go, as if he was holding the last straw to save his life: "The royal court has been beaten by Lu Bu. Seeing that spring is approaching, if Lu Bu still refuses to leave, these 80,000 herders will probably starve to death this year."

"Ah~" Zheluo sighed, stood up, bowed to Putou and said, "Since that's the case, for the tens of thousands of herders in the royal court, I will go there again."

"Thank you, sir." Putou was overjoyed and nodded quickly.

"However, Shanyu had to give Beizhi a foundation first, so that he could accept the other party's request, so that Beizhi would be able to negotiate with Lu Bu." Zheluo Surong said: "Shanyu had to think about it before talking about it. If it was too outrageous, I'm afraid that Beizhi would break his leg and the other party would not agree, and might even annoy him."

"This..." Putou couldn't help hesitating when he heard this. He could never bear the number that Zheluo said, but if he could bear it, it would be like cutting his flesh in his heart. He didn't want to give it to him. But at this moment, facing Lu Bu, he really didn't have the confidence to really deceive the other party.

After counting on his fingers, Zheluo gritted his teeth and said, "Forty thousand people can give him 200,000 cattle and sheep, too many cattle and sheep, and our herdsmen also need food. If he wants to leave forty thousand people, I can promise to give him 120,000 cattle and sheep. In addition, if he has stallions, he can give him 5,000 pairs, and the excellent war horse can give him 70,000."

Zheluo looked at Putou in surprise. If you really give it this way, the Xianbei's life this year might not be easy. Putou's performance at this time was a bit courageous.

But he pretended to be helpless and said, "If this happens, Bei Zhi has a clear mind, so he will tell Lu Bu that as for whether he can succeed, the Shanyu must be mentally prepared."

"I'm sorry, sir." Putou nodded bitterly. He was delivered to the door and was slaughtered, and he had to greet him with a smile, for fear that others would be unhappy. This feeling was really not very good.

At this moment, Zheluo traveled again and arrived at Lu Bu's camp in the evening.

"Why are you back?" Wei Yan looked at Zheluo in shock, then smiled teasingly, "Is it not done?" No matter how you think about it, the number is too large, and Wei Yan didn't believe it from the beginning.

"No, it's done." Zheluo smiled and looked at Wei Yan: "Take me to see Wen Hou."

"It's really done?" Wei Yan took Zheluo to find Lu Bu in shock, and asked, "How did you tell him?"

"I will know what to do when I see Mr. Wen later." Zheluo smiled.

Soon, the two found Lu Bu who was competing with Zhao Yun.

"It's done?" Lu Bu looked at Zheluo in surprise, and nodded with a smile: "Sir, can you tell me the whole story?"

Zheluo immediately said the conversation with Putou after he returned to the royal court.

"That Putou is so easy to deceive." Wei Yan looked at Zheluo in shock.

Lu Bu couldn't laugh. Similar things happened to him, but it happened to him, but it happened to him in his dream. In the dream, the Chen father and son used similar methods more than once, but he could be fooled every time. Now, when he heard Wei Yan's words, he suddenly felt a little harsh.

"There are 120,000 cattle and sheep, 4,000 pairs of stallions, and 70,000 excellent war horses." Zhao Yun shook his head and sighed: "The harvest of this battle is beyond expectations."

I originally thought that as long as the Xianbei people were afraid, I didn’t expect that there would be such a generous reward. These spoils alone would be enough to make up for their losses.

"It's so much, but I still hope to compensate me with the original amount." Zheluo nodded and said.

"Why is this?" Wei Yan said dissatisfied. If you have money, isn't that a fool?

"One, if you really take these things, the Xianbei Royal Court may not have a good time this year. More importantly, the rest of the tribes may not come to attack after they know it. On the grassland, the weight of righteousness is not too heavy; secondly..." Zheluo looked at everyone and smiled: "Bizhi also wanted to get this credit, so that Beizhi could gain a foothold around Putou. Now the Xianbei Royal Court no longer poses a threat to our great man. Instead, it may become a sharp sword for His Majesty to clean up the grassland in the future. Therefore, Beizhi needs this credit to gain Putou's trust."

"You are really bad." Wei Yan grinned and looked at Zheluo with a vigilant look on his face. He sucked the bones and sucked the marrow, and then made people grateful. Is it really good for you?

"Okay, let's do it according to your wishes." Lu Bu suddenly stood up, nodded with a somewhat ugly face, and left without saying hello.

"Uh..." Zheluo looked at the direction where Lu Bu left blankly and looked at the two of them: "Did Bei Zhi say the wrong thing, which made Wen Hou unhappy?"

"I don't know." Wei Yan shook his head: "I'll ask later, when will you go back this time?"

"Tomorrow, this matter is important. Only by giving Putou an impression that it is difficult to complete will he pay more attention to me." Zheluo smiled.

"Okay, then I'll arrange tents for you, all of which were stolen from the Xianbei people. When we came out, we didn't bring anything except for three days of food." Wei Yan said with a smile.

"It's time for you to do it." Zheluo nodded and smiled when he looked at the direction where Lu Bu left.

"Wen Hou, why are you unhappy?" After arranging Zheluo, Zhao Yun and Wei Yan found Lu Bu who was sitting by the river in a daze.

"Nothing happened." Lu Bu shook his head: "I just remembered some unpleasant memories. When these literati plotted against others, they really didn't see any blood."

In the dream, he was invincible in the world, but his family was destroyed by two father and son who were powerless. Today, Zheluo played with Putou like this, which made him feel a little sympathetic to Putou.

"Soldiers and literati are different." Wei Yan couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "They are responsible for these Yin, and we are responsible for Yang, one Yin and one Yang, are there any indispensable one? If we are gone, even if he has a thousand plans, how can he perform it?"

Lu Bu nodded with a smile. This is the same. If in the dream, then what can the Chen family’s father and son do to him if they borrowed Cao Cao’s power? After all, both himself and Putou believe in the wrong person.

"If we don't talk about these things, let's think about how to transport these things back to Hetao." Lu Bu shook his head. What happened next was that these cattle, sheep, and horses were not easy to transport back. The soldiers they brought were okay in war, but if we talk about grazing, they were not as skilled as those from the grassland boys.

"This is not difficult." Zhao Yun thought for a while and said, "As far as Yun knew, those Hu people, even women, were good at grazing, so they could drive cattle and sheep away. We were only responsible for managing these populations. With General Xu Huang's support, it should not be difficult."

"Yes." When Lu Bu heard this, he thought of the habits of the people in the grassland, and agreed quite well.

The next morning, after breakfast here, Zheluo found several of his Xianbei guards and returned to Yinshan. In order not to let these guards know their relationship, Zheluo entered the camp and these accompanying guards were taken into custody. Facing these vicious Han soldiers under Lu Bu's tent, a group of guards had to defend Zheluo's orders, but when they arrived here, they didn't even dare to let one of them go. After starving for a night, they followed Zheluo and left the next day as if they were amnesty.

In the Xianbei royal court, Putou did not sleep all night. When he learned that Zheluo had returned and brought the news that Lu Bu agreed to their request, even less than he expected, he couldn't help crying excitedly. He made a great decision to make peace with the great man and had already made preparations to lose some more. Now Zheluo can help him save 20,000 cattle and sheep and 20,000 war horses. The royal court will be much easier this year. By next year, there will be a place like Wangting and Jinlianchuan, where the Xianbei people will live better and better.

For Zheluo who helped him "fight" all this, Putou was like a guest of honor. After almost every major event, he would ask Zheluo for his opinion. At the same time, he also listened to this suggestion. After Lu Bu got the population of cattle and sheep, he sent an envoy to Chang'an to meet the emperor of the Han Dynasty and submitted a letter to him. From then on, the Xianbei was considered a vassal state of the Han Dynasty. With this name, if the other two Xianbei came to attack, they could even ask for reinforcements from the Han Dynasty.

Of course, the envoy this time was no longer Zheluo. Putou was careful that such a talent was taken by the Emperor of Han and held in Chang'an, and he would lose one arm.
