"Diao Chan is not among Dong's family. She was probably captured by General Xiao. You need to ask yourself. By the time it is too late, she has probably been taken as a concubine."
This Huangpu Song was a scheming man. When he said this, Wang Yun also showed a wicked smile in his eyes. Only Lu Bu didn't know his plan because he was obsessed with sex.
In today's world, the only two people known as the Gods of War are Lu Bu and Xiao Jiang. The myth that Lu Bu was invincible in the first battle was rewritten by Xiao Jiang. Now Diao Chan has been taken away by Xiao Jiang, and Lu Bu is extremely obsessed with Diao Chan.
If Xiao Jiang had already taken Diao Chan, would Xiao Jiang, with his character and status, give Diao Chan to Lu Bu? And could Lu Bu just let it go? Especially since Lu Bu had tens of thousands of troops under his command and was still short of food and pay, while Xiao Jiang only had three soldiers.
Thousands of men and horses, once these two people get involved, Wang Yun and Huangpu Song will be excited just thinking about it.
As long as one of them is killed, whether it is Lu Bu or Xiao Jiang, it will be a great thing for them. Otherwise, the two strong men in Chang'an will pose a greater threat to the imperial court.
After hearing the news, Lu Bu resigned from the emperor and rode a red rabbit horse with dozens of guards to Xiao Jiang's military camp. When he got to the camp, he dismounted and shouted to the guards:
"Excuse me, General Xiao. Lu Bu is here to pay a visit."
As soon as he finished speaking, a clear voice from the military camp replied:
"General Lu is here. Xiao Jiang apologizes for not welcoming you from afar. Please come in."
The corners of Lu Bu's eyes twitched slightly. He signaled to his guards to stop and he rode into the military camp alone. He looked left and right along the way. All the soldiers here were wandering around lazily. The entire camp covered an area of less than five miles. The barracks were
It is neatly divided into four directions without looking messy, and you can see the situation in the entire camp at a glance.
"Where are the grain, grass and treasures in Meiwu? Why don't you see any traces of it? That is grain and grass that can easily feed hundreds of thousands of troops. The pile is as big as several mountains. Why is it not here?"
Lu Bu was puzzled, and soon he came to the front of the Chinese army tent, while Xiao Jiang stood outside the tent with a smile. When Lu Bu got closer, he turned over, dismounted, clasped his fists and said:
"General Xiao, Lv came here to ask for something, and I hope the general will give me a favor."
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
"General Lu, you have to talk about this matter first. If it's a big deal, Xiao Jiang won't dare to agree. If it's a small matter, Xiao will definitely give you face because of his reputation as a general."
Lu Bu's face twitched and he said:
"The first thing is that Dong Zhuo robbed my lover Diao Chan. I heard from General Huangpu that you have taken Diao Chan away. I wonder if General Xiao can return her to me."
Xiao Jiang knew long ago that Lu Bu would come, and the so-called Diao Chan was indeed here with him, even said to be in the big tent behind him.
Diao Chan was Ren Hongchang. Xiao Jiang knew her true identity, but Ren Hongchang didn't know that Xiao Jiang was the masked man pretending to be a weak woman waiting to be punished.
Xiao Jiang smiled secretly in his heart and said:
"Oh...it turns out that Diao Chan is your lover. I don't know this. I even said that such a beautiful beauty was taken over. Since I am your lover, I, Xiao Jiang, will naturally not take away someone's love. Come on, take me with you.
Diao Chan comes out."
Two guards came out with Diao Chan. Xiao Jiang looked at the timid Diao Chan and said:
"Diao Chan, I originally planned to keep you, but I didn't know that General Lu said that you were his lover. A gentleman does not take away what others like, so I handed you over to General Lu. I hope you can live a good life in the future."
Diao Chan timidly said:
"Thank you so much, General. I will definitely live a good life with General Lu and live up to the general's expectations."
After Diao Chan moved lightly to Lu Bu's side, Lu Bu was ecstatic and pulled Diao Chan to say yes again and again. After a while, he cupped his fists and saluted Xiao Jiang:
"Bu is extremely grateful for the beauty of General Xiao. However, Lu Bu has one more thing to ask for. Today, the Dong thieves were destroyed, but Li Jue and others have gone to join forces with Niu Fu. If their army attacks, I will not be afraid, but the Dong thieves want to be prepared."
The army has only prepared rations for seven days. Now the nearly 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of horses will be without food and grass. It will be difficult for us to maintain it. We also hope that the general will support us to meet our urgent needs."
It doesn't matter if Xiao Jiang gives Lu Bu a woman, he doesn't need this Diao Chan anyway, and it might be a troublesome thing if he keeps it, but this food and treasure is different. He took out a cigarette and lit it with a fire sickle in Lu Bu's stunned eyes.
He took a puff of cigarette and said:
"General Lu, if you work for the imperial court, they will have to provide you with food, grass, and wages. Although I have plenty of food and grass here, I can't support your army of 100,000 and tens of thousands of horses."
Xiao Jiang said with a smile, but Lu Bu frowned. He stared at Xiao Jiang again and again. At this moment, Xiao Jiang had a bad smile on his face like a profiteer. Lu Bu just lacked strategic vision and selfishness. He was nothing like that.
Fool, Xiao Jiang looked so obvious. He knew that Xiao Jiang must have some requirements. He thought about it and said:
"General Xiao, the imperial court is unable to make ends meet at the moment. If we let them think of a way, we may be finished before they figure it out.
If the general has a way, feel free to ask for anything, if Lu Bu can do it, he will definitely solve it."
Xiao Jiang chuckled and said:
"Two things. First, I want to leave Chang'an and go to Lujiang, so I hope that General Lu can help tell His Majesty. You must know that I, the general of the upper army, are not allowed to enter Chang'an without an edict. I have no choice but to leave.
Secondly, it will be difficult for thousands of people like me to leave here on foot, so it would be better if there are ten or twenty thousand good horses as foot power."
Lu Bu's eyes widened when he heard that he was leaving Chang'an. Xiao Jiang could leave whenever he wanted. Lu Bu could tell that Xiao Jiang wanted a stable territory. This matter was a small matter to him, but Xiao Jiang spoke
To ask for 20,000 war horses is a big deal.
In the Xiliang army, the cavalry is the most powerful unit, and it is also the capital of Dong Zhuo's army. Lu Bu currently only controls tens of thousands of cavalry, and if he wants 20,000 horses, it will be the equipment of 10,000 cavalry.
Xiao Jiang could see Lu Bu's hesitation, he chuckled and continued:
"You have an army of 100,000 people. It's still some time before the autumn harvest. You still have to pay military salaries to stabilize the morale of the army. If you give 200,000 shi of food and 5 million yuan, you can buy 20,000 of the best war horses at the current price. You
Do you think so?"
Lu Bu was conflicted. Xiao Jiang was telling the truth. It was fair to exchange the money and grain for 20,000 horses. The only unfair thing was that Xiao Jiang was using items from Meiwu in exchange.
It's not that he hasn't considered grabbing Lu Bu head-on, but Xiao Jiang is a thorn in his heart. If he faced the real Xiao Jiang in a duel, he had no confidence that he could defeat Xiao Jiang. If he failed, even if Xiao Jiang was defeated
Thousands of soldiers and horses are not capable of defeating a large army, which is also the biggest blow to oneself.
As for whether he could grab the food and grass, Lu Bu didn't care. He saw that there was no place to store food and grass in the military camp. If Xiao Jiang burned the food and grass, his army would be gone.
