Zhang Hu said loudly, "I am reporting to Marquis Wen that there is an envoy from Youzhou asking to see you."
"Youzhou?"
Hearing this place name, Lu Bu couldn't help but be startled. He turned his head to look at Zhang Miao and Chen Gong, and found that they also looked puzzled.
"Let him in."
As Lu Bu finished speaking, Zhang Hu walked in from the door with a middle-aged man.
"This is Han Tong, sent by General Gongsun of Youzhou to deliver a message to Marquis Wen."
While talking, Han Tong took out a letter and handed it to Zhang Hu with both hands.
Zhang Hu took the letter and sent it to Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked at the letter in his hand, full of doubts in his heart. He opened the letter and took a look, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but laugh.
"Han Tong, General Gongsun wants to join forces with me to deal with Yuan Benchu?"
Han Tong shook his head and said, "My subordinates are only responsible for delivering the letter and don't know anything about the rest."
Chen Gong looked at the letter in Lu Bu's hand in surprise, and couldn't believe his ears.
"Marquis Wen, is this true?"
Lu Bu nodded, handed the letter in his hand to Chen Gong, then turned to look at Han Tong and asked with a smile.
"Han Tong, do you know that there is a man named Zhao Yun in General Gongsun's army?"
"Zhao Yun?"
Han Tong hurriedly handed over his hand, "May I ask Marquis Wen, is the Zhao Yun you are talking about a person from Changshan named Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong?"
Lu Bu nodded, "That's him, do you know him?"
Han Tong smiled and said, "Marquis Wen, Zhao Yun is now under the leadership of General Gongsun. He has become a general and leads the cavalry, but I don't know if he is the person Marquis Wen said?"
Although Lu Bu heard that Zhao Yun was now being favored by Gongsun Zan, he was still a little disappointed after hearing the news.
"I have heard that General Zhao is highly skilled in martial arts. I wonder if it is true or not?"
Han Tong raised his hands and said with a smile, "Of course it's true. Everyone didn't know it before. They just thought that General Zhao was brave. But after he became the cavalry general, he realized that there was probably no one in Youzhou who could be his opponent. General Gongsun
This time I chose the right person."
Lu Bu frowned and said, "General Zhao is in the army, are you satisfied?"
Han Tong nodded, "Of course I am satisfied. Now General Zhao is General Gongsun's most capable general, even more than the generals that General Gongsun trusted most in the past."
After hearing this, Lu Bu already knew that it would be impossible to get Zhao Yun again.
"I never expected that General Gongsun would be so discerning. It is really rare to find a strong general like General Zhao in the army."
Han Tong did not dare to say anything more profound, so he could only smile and cup his hands, and said no more.
Lu Bu nodded and suddenly asked, "Han Tong, your general Gongsun's martial arts have probably improved during this period, right?"
Hearing these words, Han Tong's eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "I didn't expect that even Marquis Wen, who was far away in Yanzhou, knew that General Gongsun's martial arts was much more powerful."
Lu Bu waved his hand and asked with a smile, "I heard from others that not only did General Gongsun's martial arts improve a lot, but he also heard that he could set fires. Is it true?"
Han Tong shook his head, "No!"
Hearing Han Tong's answer, Lu Bu was stunned and asked tentatively, "Could it be that General Gongsun doesn't know how to set fires?"
A trace of hesitation flashed in Han Tong's eyes, and he hurriedly raised his hand, "Marquis Wen, there are some things you should ask General Gongsun face to face. I don't know anything."
Lu Bu wanted to ask again, but Chen Gong suddenly laughed and said, "Marquis Wen, this is really good news."
Mr. Zhang Miao smiled and nodded, "Originally we were still worried about Yuan Benchu in Jizhou, but now we have General Gongsun's letter. As long as we join forces, one in the south and one in the north, we will definitely be able to catch Yuan Benchu off guard."
Lu Bu nodded, and then waved to Han Tong, "Han Tong, you go down to rest first, and I will take care of you later."
Hearing this, Han Tong's eyes flashed with excitement, and he hurriedly raised his hands, "Thank you, Marquis Wen."
When Han Tong's back disappeared outside the door, Lu Bu turned to look at Chen Gong and asked slowly.
"Gongtai, the alliance mentioned by Gongsun Zan, should we agree to it?"
Hearing Lu Bo's question, Chen Gong nodded, "Of course I agreed. I was originally worried about Jizhou's attack. As long as we unite, we don't have to worry."
Zhang Miao nodded and suddenly sneered, "As long as we unite, then the person who should be worried is probably not us, but Yuan Benzhu of Jizhou."
Lu Bu frowned, "Now we have to send troops to Xudu, what should we do about Youzhou's affairs?"
Chen Gong thought about it carefully and said, "It's better to agree to Gongsun Zan first, and then we will explain the matter in detail and discuss a sound strategy. It won't be too late to take action."
Lu Bu nodded, "That's okay. Send someone to reply first and say we agree. We still need to discuss the specific matters in detail."
At this point, Lu Bu paused and then said, "Gongtai, Meng Zhuo, since the matter has been decided, you go to the military camp to prepare now, and don't waste the time to send troops."
The two nodded, said goodbye and left.
Lu Bu watched the two people leave, his brows gradually furrowed, and after a long time, he shouted to the door, "Zhang Hu, prepare a banquet, and invite Han Guo, the envoy of Youzhou, to come to the banquet."
Han Tong is just a soldier who delivers messages. Even if he is serving wine to wash away the dust, it is enough for his subordinates to arrange it. However, this time Lu Bu made the arrangements himself. In fact, Han Tong was very excited.
As soon as Han Tong entered the hall, he kept raising his hands to Lu Bu and said, "Thank you Marquis Wen for your warm hospitality. I am deeply grateful."
Lu Bu waved his hand, motioning for Han Tong to sit over, and they drank together.
Han Tong was so excited that as long as Lu Bu raised his glass, he drank it all in one gulp. In this way, even if Han Tong had some alcohol capacity, he couldn't bear to drink like this. After a while, his face turned red and he became seventy or eighty percent drunk.
Drunk.
Lu Bu put down his wine glass and asked with a smile, "Han Tong, I have only met General Gongsun once. I know that he is a strong martial artist, and I want to challenge him. Unfortunately, Yanzhou is too far away from Youzhou, and I don't know about Gongsun."
To what extent has the general's martial arts grown?"
When 18 princes attacked Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu led his army to Hulao Pass to meet the enemy.
It was that time that Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan met, and the two sides fought a battle. In just a few weeks, Gongsun Zan returned with a disastrous defeat. If it hadn't been for good luck, he might have been killed in that battle.
However, how did Han Tong know this? He thought that Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan had known each other for a long time and were even friends. Otherwise, why would they come here to join forces?
Since Lu Bu and Gongsun Zan were friends before, there is nothing to worry about.
Han Tong was already a bit drunk and was gradually becoming more courageous. After hearing Lu Bu's words, he said with a smile.
