In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the distillation and purification technology of wine was not perfect, and even the mellow wine syrup was turbid.

There is no way to tell whether the wine is good or bad.

When the wine was in the mouth, Xun You felt sour and astringent, and couldn't bear to spit it out.

Looking at Lu Bu again, after the wine was in his mouth, his Adam's apple moved and he swallowed it.

After drinking, he smacked his mouth twice, as if he was still unfulfilled.

Xun You sprayed out the wine, and Lu Bu looked at him in surprise: "Does Xun Gong think it's hard to drink?"

"It's sour and astringent. I just drink this on weekdays?" Xun You asked with a frown.

"It would be nice to have this." Lu Bu smiled: "Even if such a bad wine was not for Mr. Xun, I would not be willing to take it out."

"If I had known the bitterness of warmth, I would have brought some fine wine over." Xun You said: "Even if the inferior wine is better than these."

"If Mr. Xun is willing, he should bring some food." Lu Bu said: "The military and civilians in Xuzhou are not full of food, but I can taste good wine. Wouldn't I not understand the sufferings of the people?"

"But this doesn't look like wine, it's like jealousy." Xun You licked his lips and frowned.

"There will be no vinegar, it's just a little sour." Lu Bu's face looked very embarrassed.

Xun You was speechless for a while.

The wine used by Lu Bu to entertain him was not so sour, it was so sour that it was difficult to eat.

"I've been through warmth and hardships," Xun You said, "I'll send you a few bags of food and jars of fine wine."

"Thank you, Mr. Xun." After Lu Bu thanked me, he looked at Chen Gong: "When Mr. Xun brought me wine and grain, I will divide it into one piece of wine on the public platform. I will give the generals a taste of the wine, and the grain will be distributed to the soldiers."

"Why did Wen Hou give me something I gave me?" Xun You couldn't see what Lu Bu thought, and he asked in surprise.

"It's hard for generals to drink wine." Lu Bu replied: "Since there is good wine, of course they have to try it. Xuzhou is short of food, and I can't finish a few bags of food alone, so of course I have to distribute it to the soldiers."

"Wen Hou is really sympathetic to his subordinates." Xun You replied indifferently.

Of course he didn't believe that Xuzhou had a shortage of food to this point.

There is no excess grain to make wine.

He really doesn't believe it if the soldiers don't have food!

The ones assigned by Cao Cao earlier may have been eaten up.

But now it is the harvest season. Even if there is no shortage of food, it is impossible to not be able to support the military and civilians in Xuzhou.

He suddenly felt like he was crying for poverty!

Only by crying poor can he have all kinds of excuses not to send troops to Huainan.

"If Mr. Cao allocated food, will Wen Hou send troops?" Xun You asked.

"Of course!" Lu Bu said immediately: "As long as there is enough food, I will send troops to attack Huainan immediately!"

"I'll say goodbye first!" Xun You stood up: "I will report to Cao Gong truthfully in Xuzhou's predicament, and the food should be delivered soon!"

Lu Bu also quickly stood up: "Mr. Xun has just arrived, why do you leave just by saying that? It's not too late to stay for a few days before leaving!"

"There is a rush to prevent Huainan, and the attack on Huainan is the top priority right now." Xun You replied: "When the temperature is over, I will stay again."

Xun You insisted on leaving, so Lu Bu and Chen Gong had to send him to the gate of the government.

Watching him leave, Chen Gong said, "It seems that Wen Hou can't hold on this time."

Lu Bu curled his lips: "Xun Gongda is really a character. He saw that I was delaying. He would rather return to Xudu and ask Cao Cao to send food and grass again than give me a chance to breathe."

"Wen Hou really plans to go to Huainan?" Chen Gong asked again.

"Cao Cao is in a hurry to attack Huainan, and the food he sent will not be too small this time." Lu Bu replied: "If I push and stop it, I am afraid that trouble will cause Xuzhou."

Xun You had just arrived in Pengcheng and didn't even stay for a night, so he chose to return to Xudu that day.

Pengcheng is not very far from Xu.

He rushed all the way, but in just three or five days he returned to Xudu.

Cao Cao was very surprised when he heard that Xun You had left and returned.

He did not meet in the front hall, so he asked Xun You to the study room.

There were only Cao Cao and Xun You in the study.

"As soon as the schedule is over, Gongda should have arrived in Pengcheng, why are he back?" Cao Cao was full of doubts.

"I came back the same day when I arrived in Pengcheng, so Cao Gong felt that the return trip was getting closer." Xun You replied.

"Lu Fengxian refused to send troops?" Cao Cao's face suddenly looked ugly.

"He didn't say he refused." Xun You replied: "It was just complaining, saying that it was a banquet for me, and there were only a few plates of boiled wild vegetables on the table. Especially the wine..."

Xun You smiled and shook his head, Cao Cao asked: "What's wrong with the wine?"

"It's sour and astringent. Apart from the vague smell of alcohol, I really don't dare to say it's wine."

"Did Lu Fengxian drink?" Cao Cao asked.

"I handed over a cup and drank very happily." Xun You replied: "This time I went to Pengcheng, I think he is very different from before."

"Of course." Cao Cao had a cold face, his tone showed a faint jealousy: "Lu Fengxian was a few years older than me, and suddenly he was young all night long, and even made me promise to marry my daughter to him. If it was no different from the past, how could I not recognize him?"

"I'm not talking about this." Xun You replied: "I always feel that Lu Fengxian's words and affairs are like two people in the past."

"What do you mean?" Cao Cao obviously felt it, and he looked at Xun You.

"Lu Fengxian, who used to be profit-loving and forgot his righteousness, often did things without regard for consequences." Xun You said: "Mr. Cao also knew that he was very ambitious and talented, and could not accomplish any major events at all. And the Lu Fengxian I met this time in Pengcheng was not as simple as a boy. His mind and foresight were not comparable to those in the past, so Cao Gong had to be extremely careful."

"Do you really think so?" Cao Cao asked.

"It's true and true." Xun You replied.

Cao Cao had long had the same feeling, but he had never mentioned it to anyone.

Just Lu Bu was almost destroyed by him in Xia Pi, and he came to Xu Du to surrender to him.

If people know that he actually had doubts about Lu Bu, wouldn’t it be a joke?

Xun You is not an outsider, and Cao Cao is not afraid to reveal his thoughts in front of him: "Gongda's view coincides with me. According to you, what should I do about this?"

"I said this just to ask Mr. Cao to allocate some food and wine to him." Xun You replied.

"Gongda reminded me to beware of him, why do you still have to allocate food, grass and fine wine?" Cao Cao was puzzled.

"Lu Fengxian refused to send troops, the only reason was that there was insufficient food and grass." Xun You said: "Duke Cao sent him the food and grass to see what he had to say."

"Who will escort the food and grass?" Cao Cao asked again.

"I personally escort it." Xun You replied: "If Lu Feng refused to send troops first, I will send the food and grass back to Xudu."

"Can you come back if you send it?" Cao Cao shook his head.
