Chapter 20 Sell Lu Bu for a good price? [Qiuzhui Reading, please give me a monthly ticket]
Cao Cao didn't stay at home for long and quickly dressed up and left the mansion.
After seeing his father go out, Cao Ang sat alone in the pavilion in the front yard for a long time, and finally made up his mind and left the Cao Mansion.
His destination was none other than Lifang, located on the west side of the North Palace in the inner city, where Dong Zhuo currently lives.
His next plan is closely related to Dong Zhuo. After all, no matter how he changes things, it will be difficult to change the fact that Dong Zhuo will completely control the entire city of Luoyang.
In troubled times, power is used to rule the country. Dong Zhuo has many soldiers and generals. At this stage, they can still maintain a stalemate. When the main force of the Chinese army arrives in Luoyang, it will be difficult for Ding Yuan and others to take action.
Therefore, if Cao Ang wanted to carry out his next plan, he could not avoid Dong Zhuo, and his plan itself was tailor-made for Dong Zhuo.
Taking advantage of the rich and attacking the local tycoons, it is this reckless man from Xiliang who has been cheated!
…
At this moment, Dong Zhuo was losing his temper in the house. He smashed all the utensils in the room with banging noises. The servants in the house were trembling and did not dare to come any closer for fear of being stabbed to death with a sword.
Dong Zhuo scolded him even as he fell, using all kinds of curse words in dialect, which showed the anger in his heart.
Just when he was tired from the fall and was about to sit down and rest, a servant came over in a hurry and said in a trembling voice.
"Master Fu, a guest has brought you a greeting card, saying that he is the son of Cao Cao's family, General You Zhonglang, and he is here to help you solve your problems."
Hearing the words "You Zhonglang Jiang", Dong Zhuo frowned. What is this little bastard doing here? He quickly told him to get out.
But when he heard the words "solve problems and solve problems", he hesitated for a moment, and after thinking about it, he still gave instructions to his servants.
"Ask a few people to clean up this place, and then you go ask him to come here."
Soon, the sound of steady and powerful footsteps sounded in Dong Zhuo's ears, and then Cao Ang's handsome face appeared in front of Dong Zhuo's eyes.
Seeing the signature smile on Cao Ang's face, Dong Zhuo became furious and asked with a rather bad attitude.
"What do you think the boy from the Cao family is here for? Could it be that he lost face when he saw Dong in the main hall today, so he came all the way to the house to ridicule me in person?"
Cao Ang couldn't help but laugh a little. This Dong Zhuo was quite big, but very small-minded. He had already invited himself in, and yet he was talking such nonsense.
Cao Ang didn't care about this, but sat down in front of the case minding his own business.
"My purpose of coming has been made very clear. I am here to help Mr. Ming solve his problems."
"What worries do I have, what difficulties do I have?"
Dong Zhuo pretended to be disdainful.
However, Cao Ang bent down, stretched out his fingers to pick up some porcelain residue on the ground, and spread it out in front of Dong Zhuo.
Then he said in a melodious tone: "Ming Gong wanted to control the entire city of Luoyang, and even more wanted to realize his horrifying ambition, but he couldn't even take the first step. Today he was defeated in front of the powerful general named Lu Bu.
How can we say that returning home is without worries or difficulties?"
Recalling the earth-shattering halberd above the main hall, Dong Zhuo shuddered.
After a few moments of silence, Dong Zhuo asked in a dry voice: "Lu Bu is indeed a serious concern of mine. If he hadn't been there, Ding Yuan might not have been able to leave the Deyang Palace today, even if he was protected by heavy troops."
"I want to kill him, but with my strong personal force, I find it difficult to do so. What ability do you have to eliminate this disaster for me?"
Cao Ang tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said with some confidence.
"It is naturally difficult to kill him. No matter poisoning, assassinating or forcibly killing him, the hope is slim. But why kill him?"
"To be fair to Duke Ming, I have some friendship with Lu Bu and Lu Fengxian. I can come forward to persuade Lu Bu to switch to Duke Ming's account."
"In this way, Ding Yuan has lost his arm, but Ming Gong has become more powerful. As one goes, will the little Zhijinwu still become a roadblock?"
Dong Zhuo was about to show his joy.
But he was suddenly startled.
Then he stared at Cao Ang's face and asked word for word: "No! Why did you come to me for such a good thing?"
"I ask myself, not only do I have no friendship with you, but I also have a lot of grudges with you. What is your purpose in doing this?"
Dong Zhuo acted very nervous.
He desperately wanted to see something from Cao Ang's face. After all, even if pie fell from the sky, it wouldn't fall into his mouth.
This kind of good thing came to his door so easily that it was difficult for Dong Zhuo not to doubt Cao Ang's motives.
However, Cao Ang just picked up the freshly brewed tea soup and continued to speak slowly.
"Don't get me wrong, Ming Gong. I didn't choose you because of how wise and powerful you are, nor do I mean that I have to do it with you, but I think you should be the one who can best afford the price, so I came to you first."
"If you can agree to my conditions, I will help you do this. If you can't agree, then I will get up and leave!"
"As for other ideas, hey! Who has the spare time?"
The tone was full of contempt and carelessness, but instead of being angry, Dong Zhuo became relaxed.
It turns out that you need to pay for it, so this is much more reliable, after all, the price is clearly marked.
If he really wanted to deliver it to his door for free, Dong Zhuo would probably refuse it directly because he was afraid of some trap.
…
Of course, this is actually just Cao Ang's explanation for Dong Zhuo. The actual situation is that Cao Ang currently cannot have a peerless general like Lu Bu.
Whenever there is a slight possibility, Cao Ang will try his best to take Lu Bu under his command, and he will be absolutely invincible on the battlefield in the future.
But this is not possible.
Although he is a time-traveler, time-travelers have to follow rules. He doesn't have the air of a king and domineering spirit. He can't make Lu Bu bow his head when the tiger's body shakes.
And based on the current strength of the Cao family, it is still too weak. It is like a small puddle that cannot accommodate a whale, and the whale will not swim to the small puddle.
Another one is the particularity of Lu Bu himself.
A double-edged sword, if you use it incorrectly, you will cut yourself bloody.
Even if Cao Ang was willing to bleed a lot and spend a lot of money to recruit Lu Bu into his army, there is a high probability that Lu Bu would covet the huge wealth of the Cao family and devour the master.
Therefore, instead of doing it forcefully, it is better to go with the flow and introduce Lu Bu to Dong Zhuo.
Let this Nine Plains Tiger follow the established historical trend, give his adoptive father a heart-breaking blow, and give Dong Zhuo a heaven-sent disaster.
After Lu Bu has received enough growth from Dong Zhuo, he will be thrown into society and given a beating.
When the time comes that he steps forward to subdue Lu Bu, not only will the Cao family be fully fledged and strong enough, but Lu Bu himself will be more stable and not as dangerous as he is now.
As for the process of introducing Lu Bu to Dong Zhuo, it is impossible to rush to ask others if they want it, otherwise everyone will be suspicious, and it will not be worthwhile.
Simply use Lv Bu's name to defraud Dong Zhuo of some resources, and treat Lv Bu as a good price.
Anyway, if he doesn't sell it, Dong Zhuo will find a way later. Then won't Li Su, the poor man, work as an errand under Dong Zhuo?
Rather than benefiting others, it is better to benefit me, just as receiving in advance the reward for treating Lu Bu well in the future.
