Song Xian had already thought of Zhang Xun's words, so he directly pointed the finger in Cao Cao's direction.
Hearing Song Xian's words, Zhang Xun couldn't help but nodded. He wanted nothing more from Lu Bu. All he wanted was for him to fight against Cao Cao. Since Song Xian had already said that, he had nothing to say.
"Okay, then you clean up, and I will take you to see my lord right away."
"Thank you, sir."
Song Xian clenched his fists at Zhang Xun, then followed him in a carriage and ran towards the governor's office.
"Master, Zhang Xun wants to see you."
Hearing Zhang Xun's request to see him, Chen Wen couldn't help but frowned. Didn't he say that he wanted to be quiet for a while?
Why are you here again?
"Tell him I'm tired and ask him to come back tomorrow if he needs anything."
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Wen decided not to see Zhang Xun. He wanted to think carefully about the next path.
"promise."
After the servant made his promise, he returned directly to Zhang Xun.
"My lord, I have an order. He is tired today. Please talk to me tomorrow if you have something to do."
Zhang Xun couldn't help but frown as he looked at the servant who was delivering the message.
"Go and tell my lord that Zhang Xun is here with General Lu Bu's messenger. It is a matter of life and death in Yangzhou. Please be sure to meet him."
"Sir, my lord just said that he didn't want to see me, can't you just wait until tomorrow?
It’s better not to make things difficult for me.”
When the servant heard Zhang Xun's words, he couldn't help showing a trace of embarrassment. The meaning of Chen Wen's words was very clear. Even if I don't want to see you now, you still insist on going in. This is not embarrassing yourself, but who is it?
"Don't worry, as long as you pass on what I just said to the lord, he will definitely not punish you. On the contrary, if you don't go and pass on the message, it will really delay the important matter, so be careful of moving your head."
Glancing at the people below, Zhang Xun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "I'm talking to you properly and you're still putting on airs. You really don't know what your identity is?"
"Okay, then I will go and pass the message to you."
The servant was stunned for a moment when he heard Zhang Xun's threat, but after being stunned, he still couldn't afford to offend him, so he turned around and walked towards the mansion.
"master,"
As soon as the servant opened his mouth, he heard Chen Wen's somewhat sullen voice before he could speak.
"Didn't I say that I'm tired and need to rest? I asked Zhang Xun to come back tomorrow. Why are you still here?"
These words directly made this servant almost cry. What the hell is wrong with you two? Why would Mao torture himself as a servant? What a shame.
"Sir, it's Master Zhang Xun who said the matter is urgent. General Lu Bu's messenger is waiting with him outside the mansion, asking you to meet him anyway."
The servant gritted his teeth. Since he was already here, it would be better to just finish the conversation if Zhang Xun might not give up when he gets outside.
"What did you say?
Who is waiting outside the mansion with Zhang Xun?"
Chen Wen was stunned when he heard what his servant said. Why did Lu Bu's messenger appear in Yangzhou?
"Back to my lord, what Lord Zhang Xun said is indeed that General Lu Bu's messenger is waiting with him outside the mansion."
"Let them wait in the living room, I'll be there right away."
"promise."
With Chen Wen's answer, the servants quickly returned to the gate and invited Zhang Xun and Song Xian into the living room.
After a while, Chen Wen appeared in the living room dressed in casual clothes.
"Lord."
"Lord Governor."
Seeing Chen Wen appear, Zhang Xun and Song Xian stood up and saluted together.
"No need to be polite, is this the envoy of General Lu Bu?"
Chen Wenchong waved his hands to the two of them, and then sat directly at the top of the table.
"My lord, this is General Song Xian, the lieutenant under General Lu Bu."
Zhang Xun stood up again and introduced Song Xian to Chen Wen.
"Song Xian pays homage to the Governor."
Song Xian clasped his fists and saluted Chen Wen.
"I wonder why Marquis Wen asked you to come to my place in Yangzhou?"
After confirming Song Xian's identity, Chen Wen went straight to the topic. After all, he wanted to be obedient and hear the same thing every day. What he wanted now was a quick resolution.
"Lord Governor, my lord's life in Yanzhou was not satisfactory. Now Yanzhou has basically all belonged to Yuan Shu. Only Chenliu State, where my lord is located, has not yet fallen.
It is extremely difficult to resist with the power of one county, so my lord wants to abandon Chenliuguo and take refuge in Yangzhou. I hope the governor can give us a place to stay.
We don’t have any wild ambitions. This can be known from my lord’s dealings. Of course, if someone wants to seize your inheritance, my lord will definitely not agree.”
Song Xian's words directly moved Chen Wen. Although Lu Bu had a bad reputation, he was indeed not very ambitious.
This can be seen from the fact that he first followed Ding Yuan, then Dong Zhuo, then Wang Yun and now Liu Bei.
Lu Bu has always been the general who holds a sword and has never surpassed him. I believe that if Lu Bu can be used to his advantage, the hope of fighting against Cao Cao will be much greater.
"Okay, Colonel Song Xian, please go to the side hall to take a rest first. I will give you an accurate answer after discussing it."
"promise."
Song Xian's posture was very low now. After all, he was asking for something, so he just made a promise with his fists clasped. Then he left the living room under the leadership of his servants and went to the side hall to rest.
"Zhi'an, what do you think?"
After Song Xian left, Chen Wen directly set his sights on Zhang Xun.
"Hasn't my lord already made a decision?
If Lu Bu can really enter Yangzhou and use it for me, then it will be the best sharp sword. We have no shortage of soldiers and horses, but what we lack is a general to lead the army. In this way, we will not be afraid of Cao Cao's power, and we can keep Yangzhou.
Already."
Zhang Xun smiled slightly at Chen Wen. Someone gave him a pillow for his so-called sleepiness, but I'm afraid it was nothing more than that.
"Well, it is true as you said. If this Lu Bu can really be used by me, it will not be difficult to resist Cao Cao. But I am afraid that Lu Bu is as ambitious as others. Then we don't have a wolf in front and a tiger in the back. The situation is
It will be even more dangerous."
Although he said this, people's hearts are unpredictable. If Lu Bu had ulterior motives, wouldn't he have lured a wolf into the house again?
"Lord, we are not afraid of Lu Bu's ambitions, but we are most afraid that he is an incompetent rat. As long as he can come to Yangzhou, it will be the biggest deterrent to Cao Cao. Even if Yangzhou becomes a three-legged power by then?
At least we can protect our place from being swallowed up by others, and then we can really welcome the Han Emperor back, and he will have a place to live."
What Zhang Xun fears most now is not that Lu Bu has any ambitions. What he fears is that Chen Wen will give Yangzhou to Cao Cao, which would be the biggest disaster for him.
"Well, you are right. Then call Song Xian over and ask him to go back and report to Lu Bu. Just say that I agree to let him come to Yangzhou to cultivate."
"promise."
After a while, Song Xian was invited back to the living room again.
"General Song Xian, I thought about it and thought that since both Marquis Wen and I were Han ministers, it wouldn't hurt to lend him a place to cultivate. I just hope that if Cao Cao leads his troops to seize Yangzhou's foundation, he can lead his troops to fight against Cao Cao with me.
