Chapter 044

"Wrong to blame good people?"

Lu Bu snorted coldly, thinking that it didn't look like him no matter how he looked, and then asked with a dark face: "Since Yuan Long managed to rescue him, why didn't he notify me in time, but he was imprisoned here like a pig or a dog?"

"Didn't the general recognize him? With his appearance now, who knew he could be Han Yin?" Chen Deng replied neither humble nor overbearing.

Lu Bu looked Chen Deng up and down and thought to himself, can you still quibble at this time? I want to see what you say.

"Why do you know now?"

Chen Deng looked calm and said, "We only asked the general to come to our door today because we asked him clearly two days ago. Please don't misunderstand our sincerity."

"In that case, open the door and let me take you away."

Lu Bu's anger subsided slightly. Seeing Han Yin crying in prison and unable to talk to him, he thought that he would take him back and ask questions.

"How can we not obey Marquis Wen's instructions? It's just that this place is dark and narrow, so please take a step to speak first." Chen Gui pointed to the door.

Lu Bu walked out of the cell with a dark face, turned around and asked with a frown: "Doctor, do you have anything else to say?"

"Yuan Shu has just proclaimed himself emperor in Shouchun, and Marquis Wen is eager to marry him. What do you think of the surrounding situation?"

Chen Gui looked at Lu Bu with a smile, as if he didn't notice his gloomy face.

"Huainan is now well-equipped with troops and food, and Bu is married to Yuan Jiujiu. It will not be a problem to fight against Cao Cao in the future, so what is there to say?"

Lu Bu spread his hands with a look of indifference on his face.

Chen Gui stroked his beard and laughed: "Haha, Marquis Wen and Yuan Shu are fighting against Cao Cao? Have you forgotten what I said that day? The day of death is really approaching."

"Doctor, in honor of your birthday today, if you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame Lu Bu for being rude."

Seeing Lu Bu's anger, Chen Gui calmly replied: "There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country. The emperor of the Han Dynasty is in Xudu now. Yuan Shu proclaims himself emperor and is willing to die. All the princes in the world will gather together to fight against him. If Marquis Wen doesn't fight with him immediately

He drew a clear line and instead married his daughter and joined in the evil deeds. Wouldn't he be seeking his own death?"

"The Han Dynasty is in decline, the world is in chaos, the princes and heroes speak with strength, Huainan has a large population, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient food and grass, so what if he abdicates the throne and proclaims himself emperor? Who dares to stroke the tiger's beard easily?"

"Haha, this is ridiculous. Does Marquis Wen know that during the time when Yuan Shu became emperor, Sun Ce under his command had rebelled?"

Lu Bu was shocked when he heard this and said in surprise: "Sun Ce rebelled? Impossible, right?"

"Hearing that General Qin had returned, he didn't tell Marquis Wen about it? Not only did Sun Ce openly rebel in Kuaiji, but his uncle Wu Jing and his brother Sun Ben all abandoned their official posts and defected to their families. Now half of the people in Yangzhou do not have the surname Yuan.

"Chen Gui stroked his beard and laughed heartily.

Lu Bu was stunned and silent, but in his heart he cursed Qin Yilu for not doing business and not reporting such important news.

Chen Gui took advantage of Lu Bu's deep thinking and continued to add: "Sun Ce loyal to the Han emperor and fought against the rebels. General Yuan Shu is so clear-headed. Why is Marquis Wen so confused?"

"Although the doctor is in Xuzhou, he knows everything about Huainan. It's really not easy..."

Lu Buxu stared at Chen Gui closely, questioning the authenticity of the news both inside and outside his words.

Chen Deng hurriedly spoke: "General Rong Zhen, after the burning of the ship in Sishui, we sent people to search for Uncle Cong's whereabouts. It was not until recently that we contacted him. The news of Sun Ce's rebellion and Wu Jing's abandonment of his official post was reported by Uncle Cong from Guangling.

Return."

"What did you, father and son, want to say when you brought me here today?"

Lu Bu's mind was in chaos at this time, and he had no idea what the Chen family's father and son's intentions were.

Chen Deng cupped his hands and said: "After checking with Uncle Cong, he did not attack Yuan Shu's grain ship, so the fire in Surabaya that day was probably caused by someone else."

"Others? Who?"

Lu Bu's heart sank, and he thought to himself, if it hadn't been for Chen Yu's doing, would the Chen family have wanted to take back the 100,000 hu of food from me?

How can you vomit out something you eat in your stomach?

Chen Deng looked serious and added: "My father and I have carefully considered it and believe that Yuan Shu is the most likely."

"How is it possible? Yuan Shu is not crazy, so how could he burn the grain ships? This is unreasonable."

Lu Bu originally thought that Chen Deng was joking, but when he saw the serious look on the other side, he thought it was not a joke. He thought to himself that if Yuan Shu is not crazy, then you and your son are crazy.

Chen Deng shook his head and sneered: "Although Huainan has plenty of troops, Zhang Xun and Qiao Rui fought fiercely in Huaiyin, and Ji Ling led the army to attack Xiaopei. Each time the troops were mobilized, there were 100,000 people, and the food and grass consumed were tens of thousands.

No matter how well-off the family is, it cannot withstand all the plans..."

"I'm afraid it's hard to convince me of Yuan Long's reasoning..." Lu Buxu shook his head with eyes wide open.

Chen Deng took his time and continued to add: "The general should still have an impression. Last year, Yuan Shu asked Han Yin to come to the media and not long after he hired him, he secretly sent Ji Ling to attack Xiaopei.

It is necessary to raise more than ten or two hundred thousand grains in a hurry. Even Huainan is not that easy, right?

Yuan Shu may have made a marriage alliance to stabilize the general in order to deal with Liu Bei, and the grain ships that Longxiang escorted later may be empty."

"Is there any evidence?"

Lu Bu frowned. Chen Deng's words caused huge waves in his heart, but he couldn't find any flaw in his logic.

"Marquis Wen might as well ask Han Yin? His mood should be stable now. Yuan Shu's people are always convincing, right?"

Chen Gui, who was listening in, suddenly interrupted and pointed to the cell.

"Um?"

Lu Bu was startled for a moment, and then followed him with doubts.

Chen Deng patted the fence and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Han, tell the truth about what you have done to the general, and I will reward you with a pound of mutton later."

"One pound? Mutton?" Han Yin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Lu Bu behind him looked gloomy and said to himself, Chen Deng, you are so brave, you actually threatened and lured me in front of me.

Lu Bu frowned and reminded: "Han Yin, tell the truth, I will make the decision for you, you don't have to be afraid."

I...I..." Han Yin looked at Chen Deng, then at Lu Bu carefully, and finally seemed to accept his fate. He lowered his head and whispered: "Back then, my lord sent me to Xiapi to propose marriage..."

Han Yin found wealth from the betrothal gift, specially selected his friend Long Xiang, and cut off the beard when sending the betrothal, and spat it out like beans from a bamboo tube.

Lu Bu's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that Han Yin and the young general Long Xiang would be bolder than the other. It was almost unbelievable.

"Are you making up a story? Or did someone teach you to say that?"

Lu Bu looked at Chen Deng when he spoke. He thought about it and still didn't believe it.

"No, no, no, every word is true. If I say even one wrong word, I will discipline my whole family... I will eat until I die..."

During his imprisonment, Han Yin tasted the taste of hunger, so he could swear poison easily.

When Lu Bu was thinking, Chen Deng reminded again: "Mr. Han's words should be true. His entourage was also 'rescued' at that time in the other courtyard southeast of Xiapi. The two testimonies are completely consistent, etc."

Can you take the general to verify it?"

Lu Bu swallowed his saliva. Now that he had a witness, he was no longer calm. He leaned forward and asked, "Did Long Xiang set the fire in Surabaya? I'm very curious about one thing now. How did he get one hundred thousand dendrobium grains?"

He left? How many people were helping him sell the stolen goods?"

"When we parted in Shouchun, Long Xiang led his troops to Lujiang to supervise the shipment of grain. I don't know exactly how he did it, but I don't believe he would be so bold. After all, he was only sixteen years old..." Han
