Since you are blinded, you must act like you are blinded.
Sorry, we don’t know about this matter, it’s all right... uh, it’s all new... Well, I think about it, security guard! Who asked you to come in? Go out!
That's basically the case.
A group of minor officials gathered in one place and talked a lot.
"Have you heard that? The forward camp was kicked by a horse thief?"
"No, right? Didn't you say that the horse thief has been repelled?"
"Well! I don't believe it either, but it is said to be true..."
"What's true or false? This horse thief can still go to heaven if he is capable?"
"Not to say, this horse thief is really different. He has created a gimmick of "doing the way for heaven" and is gathering up other horse thieves! Maybe something big will happen! Well? Why don't you talk anymore?"
The little official started to gossip and pointed at the country. He was very excited and said, but he didn't notice that the others were already bowing their heads and turning their faces.
Wei Xu, who had just walked over, said gloomyly: "Oh, let me see, which wise man is here to speak high?"
The officials quickly knelt down on the ground and said they didn't dare.
The one who spoke the loudest just now was kowtowing repeatedly and his face was pale.
"Drag down, 20 stern!" Wei Xu pointed to the minor official, and then said to the others, "Do good at doing things! Don't be like a woman to play with her lips and tongue!"
Amid the submissive responses of the other minor officials, Wei Xu walked to his official arch with a calm face. After sitting down, Wei Xu received the call from Lu Bu, quickly cleaned up his face and changed it to a dog-faced look to Lu Bu.
『What's going on?!" General Lu Bu fell in front of Wei Xu, 『You reported that it was stable and the horse thief retreated?! Why is the entire forward camp lost now! You said! What's going on?!"
Wei Xu bowed to the ground with a thud, his movements were straightforward, like the little official who had bowed just now, "Report to lord! It's all my fault that I didn't know how to see Chen Ada, the beast! This bastard, without thinking about being loyal to the lord, was loyal to the great man, and he actually turned himself into a thief!"
Lu Bu was stunned, then became angry, gritted his teeth and shouted: "What did you say?"
Wei Xu was so scared that he shivered, "Lord... I, what I said is true..."
"I said, what's the situation when Chen Ada surrendered to the thief?" Lu Bu patted the table, "Damn it! If the Han people don't do it, they actually surrendered to the thief! Why?"
Wei Xu took a long breath and immediately put his heart and heart that was beating around, "Isn't that true! Lord! This damn Chen Ada!"
When Wei Xu said the three words Chen Ada, he gritted his teeth and hated him extremely. If Chen Ada hadn't done such a mess, Wei Xu would have been able to drink a little wine and count the money to play. How free and easy!
As a result, now, I had to come and accept Lu Bu's anger, and I was almost scared out of my heart. This is Chen Ada's sin!
"Lord! I have some mistakes in my subordinates who are not careful!" Wei Xu moved forward a little, "If I had discovered that Chen Ada had the intention to rebel earlier, there would not have been such a mess!"
Lu Bu looked at Wei Xu with a calm face.
Although Wei Xu has always said that it was because of his inattentive employment and his reason, the more Wei Xu said this, the less Lu Bu could do anything to Wei Xu. On the contrary, if he kept saying that he was right, it would lead to Lu Bu becoming more and more unhappy. After all, if this matter was not Wei Xu's fault, could it be Lu Bu's fault?
How could Lu Bu be wrong?
So seeing Wei Xu reviewing his mistakes so sincerely, Lu Bu frowned and waved his hand, "Not to say what is right or wrong, just say what should I do about this matter? Now I... well, the loss of the forward camp is small, but the impact is very bad!"
Is it war? What must be won by the guarantee?
Did Lu Bu himself suffer a defeat? So he didn't mind the temporary failure, nor did he care about gains and losses, but this does not mean that Lu Bu could not care about this matter. He felt that he had to figure out the reason for the matter and then find out the problem to solve it.
Wei Xu kowtowed and said, "I have sent someone to investigate, I found...discover..."
Wei Xu was a little hesitant.
"What have you discovered? Say it quickly!" Lu Bu stood up and said, "It's time to come, what else can I hide?"
『Yes, yes... lord, I am guilty...』 Wei Xu apologized again, and then said, 『I asked someone to go to Chen Ada's house to investigate and found that Chen Ada's house... there was a lot of money...』
Wei Xu looked heartbroken and shook his head and sighed: "I... I didn't expect it... I really didn't expect it...
How much money can Chen Ada have in his family? How many fools can put their money in the house where they live? Even those guys in later generations know how to rent a suite outside and make money? So of course the money found in Chen Ada's family was Wei Xu who paid it out of his pocket to put it there. How could Wei Xu not feel heartbroken? After all, the "confiscation" will of course be confiscated. No matter how brave Wei Xu is, he will not dare to move.
Going to make money elsewhere, no matter what method it is, it can be said to be a skill, but to greed for money from Lu Bu’s pocket, especially in such accounts, it is like stealing money in front of Lu Bu. Isn’t it seeking death?
"A lot of money?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then furious, "Damn it! The evil thief! He should be cut into pieces!"
Lu Bu took it for granted and believed that the money was embezzled by Chen Ada.
Because of the situation in the Western Regions, Lu Bu was not completely unaware of it. His subordinates, including Wei Xu, used a little and ate a little, and drank a little. Lu Bu knew a little, but Lu Bu's standard was similar to that of Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan in history. He had been suffering a lot of brothers who have been with him for so many years. Now he finally had some food, so he could eat some, which was also considered compensation for following him for so many years. Lu Bu turned a blind eye, and as long as these guys were not too much, he would not care.
Chen Ada's family has a lot of money. Before contacting Wei Xu, what the conclusion is obvious?
However, Lu Bu closed his eyes, held his breath and thought for a while, and suddenly realized something was wrong, "Well... it's not right, Chen Ada, I remember that he didn't marry a wife, even if he raised a concubine... If he was corrupt and money and took the benefits of horse thieves, he would not hide it at home. This luck is coming and going, let alone Chen Ada's several times a year, he would just say that there is no one to take care of the family... Could he be relieved?"
『Hiss…』 Wei Xu swallowed a little, his eyes shaking, 『What the lord is thinking really makes sense…』
Wei Xu quickly thought of the argument to make up for the flaws, "My wise, this is the reason why Chen Ada did this... Chen Ada has always wanted to leave the Western Regions and return to the Central Plains, so of course he could not leave money in the military camp... After all, there are many soldiers in the military camp, which is not convenient, and this concubine must be afraid of Chen Ada and dare not easily turn over the artifacts left by Chen Ada...
Wei Xu's so-called explanation actually does not strictly mean that there is no necessary connection. It is like the forward camp, which has many flaws, but just like a doctoral student, he will be deceived by a liar, like a pig. Sometimes, the flaws in this matter are clearly in front of him, but they just can't see or discover them.
At some point, the human brain will naturally ignore what they don’t want to see, hear, and think of.
Simply put, the brain can be lazy.
As long as you are lazy, everything is so beautiful.
Although Lu Bu realized something was wrong, he was still lazy to some extent. He did not go into it, nor did he even consider whether Wei Xu's explanation was true or whether it was in line with the specific situation. He just felt that the incident of the horse thief attacking the forward camp made him feel embarrassed. This was the real reason for his anger.
As for what the horse thief shouted "Performing the Way for Heaven" or "Performing in advance", Lu Bu didn't care much at all. He thought it was like a joke, and whoever was serious would lose.
The horse thief was still thinking about "doing the way for heaven". What's this a joke?
Especially at this world point where Lu Bu is preparing to practice merits, what else can he do to celebrate this?
"Lord..." Wei Xu looked at Lu Bu's face as if he was a little loose, so he leaned forward a little, "Actually... it's a good thing to say...
"Hmm?" Lu Bu was suddenly a little amused and crying, "Is this a good thing?"
Wei Xu nodded and said seriously: "Yes, lord! Chen Ada has always been hidden in our ranks, stealing weapons and war horses in the forefront camp to obtain money. This time, the incident was caused by uneven division of the dirt or some other reason. In fact, it is a good thing. After all, if Chen Ada continues to develop... this long pain is worse than short pain! Moreover, this horse thief is like dust in the Western Regions, which is tangible when gathering and scattering without a trace. Now these horse thieves are emerging, wouldn't it give us a good opportunity to clear it out? If we pretend to hold a celebration now and don't care about it at all, then the horse thief will relax our vigilance, and we can...
Lu Bu touched his beard and frowned. After Wei Xu said this, he seemed a little confused?
Lu Bu led his team to Yumen Pass to clear out the horse thieves along the way from Xihai City to Yumen Pass. He did achieve considerable results, but he also paid a considerable price. It was not because the horse thieves had strong combat power, but because they encountered bad weather and bad environment on the way to conquer the horse thieves...
Although it was indeed the end that the horse thieves from the Xihai to Yumen Pass were almost gone, the number of soldiers they paid was no less than that of conquering a major Western Regions country, which was really not easy. So when they arrived, Lu Bu stopped staring at the horse thieves, which was really a bit of a point of using cannons to hit mosquitoes.
The forward camp is located west of the West Sea, which happened to be an area that Lu Bu had not completely cleared out before. If you can take this opportunity to completely attack the gathered horse thieves, wouldn’t it be a good thing to turn bad things into good things?
"Not bad!" Lu Bu smiled, "Yes, you can think of this, not bad, not bad!"
"All this is the lord's teachings..." Wei Xu saw Lu Bu laughing, and he felt very determined, and the matter was basically over. All he left was to beat the side drum, finally put the side in the side, and settle the whole thing down. "This is actually a small matter. I'm really ashamed of asking the lord... Since the lord thinks this strategy is feasible, then... I'm determined like this? Use the vanguard camp as bait to annihilate the horse thieves in the west!"
Lu Bu laughed and said, "That's it! I want to see if these horse thieves have harder heads or my Fangtian Painting Ji is more powerful!"
Wei Xu hurriedly said: "How dare you bother the lord to go out? This is a matter... well, I'll do it..."
"You go?" Lu Bu waved his hand, "I know you have good intentions, but... well, this matter... you still lack something..." There is no problem with Wei Xu going, but now there are a large number of horse thieves, so Wei Xu is naturally not enough to see it.
Wei Xu suddenly discovered that there was a big flaw in his plan!
If Lu Bu goes into battle, those horse thieves are of course not worth worrying. Even though Lu Bu’s force has begun to fall from the peak, it is still one by one. At least there is no big problem in dealing with these horse thieves. But the real problem is that if Lu Bu really goes into battle, he may understand the real situation!
Once that time comes, things will be in trouble...
What Lu Bu dislikes the most is that others deceive him. Although Wei Xu claims to be a lie with good intentions, lies are lies after all. When they are exposed, Wei Xu dares not say anything and can resist Lu Bu's anger.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! What should I do?
Wei Xu understood that Lu Bu felt that Wei Xu's martial arts was not worth enough to deal with such a scene. In his eagerness, he didn't have to think too much, so he blurted out, "But... this, lord, what should you do if you go out of the battle?"
"Celebration?" Lu Bu was stunned for a moment. He really didn't consider this matter just now.
When Wei Xu saw Lu Bu's expression, he felt that there was a chance. If Lu Bu abandoned the celebration without hesitation and no longer sought "merit", Wei Xu really had no choice. He could not pull Lu Bu and say that he wanted merit if he didn't want horse thieves. Now that Lu Bu hesitated himself, he just needed to add another fire.
"How can the master's plan to accumulate merits be destroyed by a mere horse thief?" Wei Xu hurriedly said, "I know, my master is polite to his ministers, but this horse thief..."
Lu Bu's face suddenly became a little unhappy. This was considered as Wei Xu's violation of his orders.
Wei Xu quickly added: "Lord, I know... I am not saying that... By the way, why not let General Gao come out! General Gao can definitely eliminate the horse thieves!"
Isn’t Gao Shun still the one with strong force?
Although Wei Xu and Gao Shun were a little inconsistent, they could not care about this at this time. As long as Lu Bu was not on the scene in person, there would be a chance to make up for everything.
"Boping...Boping should be fine..." Lu Bu pondered, "Didn't you have some gaps with Boping, why do you recommend him?"
Wei Xu's heart suddenly jumped.
It was not that Lu Bu knew that Wei Xu and Gao Shun were not going to deal with each other, but he felt that Gao Shun was annoyed, and Wei Xu was more upset. When the two had conflicts, they could only leave one. Of course, they could only leave Wei Xu and sent Gao Shun to Yumen Pass.
Wei Xuqiang smiled and said, "I, uh, I do have something with Boping... But how can I ruin the lord's affairs because of my personal likes and dislikes? In addition, I think that this time the horse thief is very strange. It may be like the lord said before, there are Kushan people behind the scenes... Boping has always been calm and moderate, and it is just right to see if there is anything strange..."
Even if Gao Shun is recommended, Wei Xu will have to ambush. If there is really any problem and is discovered, he can find a way to push it to the Kushan people.
"Kushan people... Humph!" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, "If it were Kushan people, that would be great..."
Wei Xu hurriedly said: "If the Kushan people are really making trouble behind the scenes, then they can fight a big fight and completely convince these guys! The lord can not only become famous in the Han Dynasty, but also spread far away from Taixi! At that time, the lord's great cause in the Western Regions will be able to go further!"
"Ah hahahaha!" Lu Bu laughed, "Okay! Just do it! I'll send an order to Boping to go out of the battle! Yumen Pass Defense, let's... Well, I think about it, um, let Captain Meng take the time to replace him!"
The Meng Cunwei, who was Menghua, came from Longyou before and also fought in the country in front of Cheshi, and had some military achievements.
Wei Xu originally wanted to take the opportunity to install some people in Yumen Pass, but when he saw that Lu Bu had already made up his mind, he couldn't argue again, so he could only praise Lu Bu for his proper employment and recognize talents. Finally, he took Lu Bu happily and got the warrant for the celebration from Lu Bu, which was somewhat of a practical gain.
The matter of horse thieves can be put down for the time being, but the celebration of this basin conference must be held immediately.
Simple, there are simple patterns, but if it is simple, it will definitely not look much better.
If it is not good-looking, does it mean that Wei Xu is incompetent?
If the celebration of this basin conference cannot be completed this time, will Lu Bu agree to let him do things next time?
Wei Xu naturally decided not only to do it, but also to do it in the complexity, and to do it well. At the same time, he could not use too much money in the public warehouse. Otherwise, even if Lu Bu didn't care about it, Zhi Yinjian would write a sentence to what to do in the basin conference, and how much money he spent, wouldn't it cause a new big problem?
Therefore, Wei Xu had to find another way.
Pay tribute?
Of course, levying is a way, but time is tight and the task is heavy. If you really get the money you have to pay back to the subordinate states of the Western Regions, you may have missed it.
You must do money while doing things, and you can’t wait!
After returning, Wei Xu thought about it for a long time, and finally Wei Xu came up with a good idea.
Didn’t Lu Bu agree to the “Virtual Title” before? He happened to catch up soon this time?
