Zhang Ji saluted Liu Cheng respectfully, and he was extremely impressed.
Zhang Liao, who was standing next to him, also saluted Liu Cheng respectfully, saying that I did the same.
Zhang Ji looked at Zhang Liao beside him who was giving him a salute as he was doing it, and he couldn't help but secretly spit at Zhang Liao again.
Without paying attention, this guy imitated me again and followed me to take advantage...
Zhang Liao, however, did not feel this. He was very happy at this time in his heart.
Because following the emperor's uncle, he gained experience again, and he knew that things were not that simple for the emperor's uncle.
Now it seems that it is indeed the case!
Liu Cheng looked at Zhang Ji and Zhang Liao, who were bowing to him and expressing their respect, and waved his hands with a smile.
Then his face became more solemn and he said to the two of them:
"This matter is very important. It would be bad if it spread and let people know, especially those in Sichuan, and some people would hide it and not come forward because of this.
The effect will be greatly reduced!
You two should be careful and remember carefully not to tell others what you said, lest the news leaks..."
"Uncle, don't worry, the general will know the importance and no one will mention it!"
Zhang Liao, who was by Liu Cheng's side with others and never took the initiative to ask Liu Cheng, but just silently wrote down the questions and answers between others and the emperor's uncle, responded very quickly this time.
Before Liu Cheng could finish his sentence, he immediately made a solemn assurance.
Seeing such a scene, Zhang Ji secretly spat at Zhang Liao again, secretly scolding Zhang Liao for being really shameless!
He also hurriedly said: "I will definitely not tell anyone about this matter. From now on, I will not mention it even when I am around the emperor's uncle..."
Looking at the two of them, Liu Cheng showed some features.
In fact, there are some things Liu Cheng hasn't told them yet.
He deliberately tried to scare off the enemy and stopped here without leaving until all the soldiers and horses entering Sichuan gathered here before leaving. There is another more important reason...
The reason for this is that when he conducted a public explanation and propaganda at Chang'an Duen, and prepared to gather Zhang Liao, Zhang Ji and other soldiers to rush to Wuzhangyuan, he took the time to return to Chang'an and conducted a new meeting with Dong Zhuo.
ask.
This request is that the road to Yizhou is steep and rugged.
Rice thieves are becoming increasingly rampant in Hanzhong, and Liu Cheng is afraid that if he only takes these people, he will make mistakes.
Therefore, Liu Cheng asked Dong Zhuo, who was no longer willing to give up and only wanted to be the prime minister, to order Lu Bu, the Marquis of Wen who was guarding Tongguan, to transfer some troops and horses commanded by Lu Bu and temporarily put them under Liu Cheng's control.
Assist Liu Cheng to go to Shuzhong...
Dong Zhuo was the grandfather of Liu Cheng's fiancée, and going to Sichuan to collect grain was something Dong Xiangguo was particularly concerned about.
And Liu Cheng is a man who is very good at fighting.
Therefore, Liu Cheng's request was quickly agreed to by Dong Zhuo.
He issued an order and asked someone to take the military order and quickly go to Tongguan to convey his military order to Lu Bu...
Zhang Ji and Zhang Liao naturally knew about this matter.
However, because there are some things that only Liu Cheng, Dong Zhuo, and Li Ru know.
Therefore, they could not see anything special from this seemingly innocuous order...
…
Moving forward in time, we arrived at Tongguan.
Here in Tongguan, Lu Bu is sitting in the commander's tent.
In front of him was Wei Xu, who had disappeared for a while.
At this time, Wei Xu looked no different from before, except that he was a little thinner.
"How's it going? Are you all back?"
Lu Bu asked from the exit.
When he asked this question, his heart couldn't help but lift up.
Wei Xu nodded: "I have lived up to my mission, my lord, and everyone is back."
"Just come back!"
Lu Bu let out a sigh of relief.
Then he stood up and took Wei Xu's hand.
"This time, forget it, you all have forgotten it.
Just pretend it never happened.
However, I, Lu Bu, will remember it and will never forget it!"
As Lu Bu said this, he saluted Wei Xu very solemnly.
This happened to Lu Bu, but it was not unusual at all.
Wei Xu nodded, and then said with some confusion and seriousness:
"What did the Lord say? Why didn't I know?
Is there anything special happening these days?"
Wei Xu's reaction made Lu Bu stunned for a moment.
Immediately, he reacted, smiled and patted Wei Xu on the shoulder:
"It's true that nothing special happened. I just sent you to spy on the enemy."
"My lord, Wei Xu has returned from spying on the enemy. I have already told my lord what needs to be said. If there is nothing else, I will be dismissed."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Okay, go and have a good rest now!"
Seeing that Wei Xu was about to resign, Lu Bu added: "In the next three months, I will give some good things to the brothers.
I can't give it to you now. If you give it now, it would be bad if any brother couldn't help but take the flowers and use them, or if the flowers were exposed somewhere, and someone would notice them.
Go back and tell the brothers carefully, don't let the brothers think too much and think that I, Lu Bu, am not a cheerful person or a person who keeps his promises."
Wei Xu nodded in agreement.
Then he left Lu Bu.
Lu Bu personally escorted Wei Xu to the entrance of the tent, watched Wei Xu leave, and returned to the tent with a smile on his face.
This thing is simply perfect!
That damn guy Liu Cheng has bullied himself many times!
Now, it's time for me to take action and punish him properly!
Doesn't Liu Cheng want to build some kind of farmland to stabilize the people here?
Isn’t it a work-for-relief program?
Isn't it about repairing canals?
Didn’t he gain a great reputation in Guanzhong?
Didn't many people in the court and Dong Zhuo praise him highly?
Isn't it because of these that you started to raise your tail?
If this is the case, then I will burn the food in Duantun!!
Without food, let’s see what you Liu Cheng and Liu Kede will use in the future!
In Lu Bu's view, Liu Cheng's actions were not too remarkable.
The most important reason for achieving such great results is that Liu Cheng married Dong Zhuo's granddaughter and had an extraordinary relationship with Dong Zhuo!
Whatever he said, Dong Zhuo listened and strongly supported him!
Liu Cheng performed this series of actions in Guanzhong this time, and spent a lot of food!
Even if this was the case, Dong Zhuo agreed.
Lu Bu felt that this was the real reason for Liu Cheng's success!
In his opinion, if Dong Zhuo was willing to give him all this and trust him so much, it would not be difficult for him to do the things Liu Cheng did.
Now, in his opinion, the things Liu Cheng did were not very complicated, they were all simple things.
It's nothing more than using Dong Zhuo's grain as a base, which is not very clever...
Zhuge Liang has not yet left the mountain, and he should be about the same age as Sima Yi.
But there are not many people in this world who like to be wise after the fact.
It existed long before Zhuge Liang was born.
Lu Bu is undoubtedly one of them.
Many things, if you look at the results and push forward, you will feel that they are nothing more than that.
But if no one makes it, I can't even think of it...
Moreover, Lu Bu, who was jealous of Liu Cheng who had done so many things and won many things in the Guanzhong area, had forgotten that when Guanzhong was facing a lot of chaos, he even helped stabilize Guanzhong.
No idea at all.
Even at the beginning, when I heard that Liu Cheng was doing these things, he was full of disdain and ridicule.
As a result, later on, after seeing Liu Cheng making such great achievements, his eyes began to turn red...
When you are doing things, he is there waiting to see your jokes and make sarcastic remarks about you. People who don’t want to think about it at all will have red eyes when they see you accomplishing things...
There are many such people in this world...
That fellow Liu Cheng will become dizzy soon!
He wanted to see how Liu Cheng would deal with this incident!
In his opinion, Liu Cheng could not solve this matter at all!
After all, Dong Zhuo had limited food. Even if Dong Zhuo was Liu Cheng's grandfather and no matter how partial he was to Liu Cheng, there was no way he could do anything when so much food was burned down in Duantun.
Solve the troubles you have caused for him!
Thinking about these things in his heart, Lu Bu felt very happy.
It's not that he wants to see Guanzhong people in dire straits.
He simply didn't want to see Liu Cheng being proud.
As for the people who suffered because of this, you can't blame him Lu Bu, you can only blame Liu Cheng!
It was because Liu Cheng was arrogant and domineering, and he didn't take himself seriously. He insulted him several times. He was so angry that he fought back against Liu Cheng and did these things!
The more Lu Bu thought about it, the more justified he felt, and the more he thought about it, the more natural he felt.
I feel that if I were the people in Guanzhong, after knowing the whole story, I would definitely spit on Liu Cheng and die!
Otherwise, the resentment in my heart will not be relieved!
As for whether what he did this time would be discovered by others and bring trouble to himself, Lu Bu was not worried.
This time, I did things very secretly.
Before he decided to do this and take revenge on Liu Cheng, he never thought that he would do this.
Those people were even more surprised.
The person he sent to carry out the mission was Wei Xu, a native of Jiuyuan who had followed him all the way, and was a confidant he could definitely trust.
After Wei Xu came back, he also told himself the details of what happened, and promised himself that they would handle the matter without anyone noticing during their trip.
What he was most worried about was that something would go wrong here with Wei Xu.
Now that Wei Xu has determined that there is no problem here, he has nothing to worry about.
He didn't think that in such a situation, anyone would think that it was his own doing.
No one will doubt you.
Even if someone doubts himself, it doesn't matter.
Because those who doubt themselves can only doubt themselves in their hearts, and cannot find any evidence to prove that the food in Duantun was set on fire by themselves!!
There is no evidence. According to his current status and identity, under such circumstances, he is not afraid of what anyone will do to him!
This time, Liu Cheng will definitely suffer the consequences of being a mute!
Lu Bu couldn't help but smile as he thought so.
He was wondering for a moment whether he should give a hint to let Liu Cheng know that he had done this.
Otherwise, he was the only one who knew about this matter, but Liu Cheng didn't realize that he had done it to him. How could he think about this matter and feel uncomfortable.
There is a feeling of being pretentious but not pretending.
After this impulse swirled in his heart for a long time, Lu Bu finally suppressed it.
There are some things that can be done but cannot be said.
Although Lu Bu felt that after telling this matter, the people in Guanzhong would hate him much less than Liu Cheng, he felt that it was better not to do this...
…
"...In Chang'an, the Prime Minister has ordered that a large amount of food be provided again to replenish the burned food in Duantun. He has also issued a strict order to have people strictly investigate the affairs of Duantun..."
Someone brought news from Chang'an.
"What?!"
When Lu Bu heard this, he stood up suddenly.
It was not because Dong Zhuo issued a strict order to investigate the fire in Duantun.
It's because Dong Zhuo actually brought out so much food under such circumstances!!
"Has that guy Liu Cheng arrived in Chang'an?"
Lu Bu stood there, stunned for a while, and then asked in a low voice.
"Yes, it is said that the Prime Minister issued such an order after Uncle Liu went to see the Prime Minister.
Moreover, Uncle Liu Huang also summoned many working villagers in Duantun and announced this matter to them..."
When Lu Bu heard this, he was really shocked and angry.
His eyes were red with jealousy.
Why!
Why does my adoptive father treat Liu Cheng so well?
Under the current circumstances, he actually listened to Liu Cheng's advice again and once again provided so much food to support Liu Cheng's affairs!
My adoptive father has never treated me like this!
Is it because I am not filial enough?
Before, Lu Bu, who had been full of sneers, waiting to see how Liu Cheng would overcome the difficulties, waiting to see Liu Cheng's jokes, was slapped in the face by this unexpected situation.
After Liu Cheng came to Chang'an, he quickly solved the unsolvable problem that he thought he had given him.
Moreover, the method used was the last thing I wanted to see.
The original comfort and pride in Lu Bu's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace!
The whole person was deeply stimulated...
"How could Dong...the adoptive father agree with Liu Cheng's ridiculous opinions?
Is this how much food he has in his hands?"
Lu Bu took a deep breath to calm himself down and asked aloud.
"I heard that Uncle Liu gave the Prime Minister an idea and asked the Prime Minister to ask Yizhou Mu for one million stones of grain..."
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but sneer: "Is this Liu Cheng a fool? How could Liu Yan, the herdsman of Yizhou, send him here?"
The messenger, after hearing Lu Bu's words and looking at Lu Bu's expression, hesitated for a moment whether to tell the rest of the story...
