Chapter 015: Lu Bu's Tool Man
At the next day at the reception banquet, Hao Meng saw Chen Gong's expression as usual, and didn't know what the other party had plans.
Because Long Xiang was "drunk" last night, he originally planned to turn off the reception banquet, but Lu Bu insisted on asking each other and could only go to the banquet with a depressed spirit.
After the prefect sat down, Longxiong pretended to be a transparent person with his head down.
Lu Bu was obviously very concerned. He looked at Long Xiang, who was bowing his head and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable in Long Sima?"
"Report to the general, General Long's face was not very good because he was not adapting to the local conditions."
Han Yin was afraid that Long Xiang would answer the wrong answer, so he stood up and answered on his behalf.
Lu Bu nodded and affirmed: "Maybe the food in the inn is not suitable for the taste, but today's wine and food are all the best in Xuzhou, so you can taste more."
"I will obey the order." Long Xiang hurriedly raised his head and fist to thank him.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw Lu Bu on the main seat radiant from afar.
Long Xiang guessed that he should be the lord of Xuzhou, and he had not yet come out of the excitement period. However, when he was besieged by Cao Cao's heavy troops in the future, this guy would be unshaven and threatened to be hurt by alcohol and sex, and ordered the soldiers to accompany him to quit drinking.
Lu Buchao held a banquet in a standard manner and arranged for all his civil and military officials to attend. Celebrities such as Zhang Liao, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Hao Meng, Chen Gong and other celebrities were all there, but there was no leader of the camp, Gao Shun.
Long Xiangben thought about knowing Lu Bu's generals at this time, and it was not so abrupt when he turned around and visited him one by one, but he didn't know that Gao Shun was sent to work by Lu Bu at this time. He gathered refugees around Xia Pi and did statistics and other work.
After three rounds of wine, Han Yin stood up and bowed to Lu Bu.
He once again explained his purpose: "I wonder if General Lu had discussed what Han said yesterday? My lord is still waiting in Huainan."
"Ah? Mr. Han, please sit down."
Lu Bu smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal Han Yin to sit down, and then added:
"My daughter is young, and my wife is reluctant to leave. I will persuade you for a few more days. Today we will only drink hard and talk more about the rest of the matter."
Lu Bu moved his wife out as a shield. Han Yinren dared not go too far on the eaves, so he had to sit down and drink in disappointment.
Han Yin thought that the other party was still calculating the conditions, and didn't know how much betrothal gifts he would want. If Lu Bu spoke loudly, he would not be able to get too much money. It seemed that he had to hurry up with the activities.
Zhang Liao, Chen Gong and others took turns to toasting, and Han Yin was dealing with it independently.
Lu Bu was very curious: "Long Sima hasn't moved the glass for a long time. Could it be that the wine in Xuzhou is bitter?"
Long Xiang was scrambling to fish. When he heard Lu Bu's name, he immediately stood up and hurriedly clasped his fists and explained with a smile: "I'm the only one who said something lightly, and the alcohol tolerance is too bad. I dare not show any ugly things in front of all the heroes. Please forgive me..."
"Young heroes can't drink alcohol? I heard that Long Sima Zeng rode alone to retreat to Zhang Fei. Is Zhang Fei not afraid of being afraid of drinking? Hahaha..."
Lu Bu's words were like thunder in the ground. Everyone in his tent knew that Zhang Fei was fierce and did not believe that Long Xiang had such strength, so they were waiting for Long Xiang to explain in person.
"This is a real story of a real person. Last month, I was in Huaiyin..."
Han Yin was planning to testify for Long Xiang, but he saw the generals in the hall and seemed to be unwilling to listen to him.
He sat down after asking for trouble and poked Long Xiang, who looked safe with his hand, which meant that you would solve your own problem.
Long Xiang then stood up and put his fists on his face, explaining seriously: "General Lu Rong reported that the general who encountered Zhang Fei at that time was actually trying to retreat to the enemy. It was all the people outside who spread the word and could not count it..."
"Um?"
Han Yin widened his eyes and thought to himself that he was timid. What happened to admit boldly? Zhang Fei was not in front of him.
"Please please? How to please? Can you tell me?" Lu Bu asked in a row, obviously because he was interested.
Long Xiang nodded and replied: "That day, Zhang Fei was tired and had no food. Because he had not eaten for many days, his strength was a little worse than before. However, the last general tried hard to block it and then picked up the snake spear. Zhang Fei saw that our army was neat.
, so there is no fight to the point..."
After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized it. Lu Bu nodded and said with a little regret: "It turned out that the ring-eyed thief was hungry and was hungry. If Long Sima sacrificed himself to capture and kill this person at that time, he would probably be famous all over the world..."
"Sacrifice yourself? Zhang Fei is still fighting with beasts. He fights hard and doesn't know how many people will die. The last generals' troops are all intimidating their reputation, so..."
Longxiong lowered his head when he wanted to speak.
When Hao Meng heard the word "sacrifice" in the hall, he understood Long Xiang's idea better than others. His father's father failed to get a good result, so it was impossible for him to fight Zhang Fei at that time.
"Long Sima Zhen is an honest general, but this kind of thing is indeed not easy to force. When I see the black man in the future, I will definitely teach you a lesson."
Lu Bu stroked his beard, his face full of pride, and thought that only at his level could he fight Zhang Fei back and forth.
"Thank you, General."
Long Xiang bowed his fists and thanked him, lamenting that Lu Bu is also a vulgar person. You pretended to be accidentally. He thought that I wanted your martial arts value. At that time, he would definitely fight with Zhang Fei for a while, and would not be worried about blocking the spear.
As Long Xiang brought Zhang Fei to the topic, Lu Bu joked with everyone about the "ring-eyed thief". In short, there was no good words from Zhang Fei inside and outside, which showed that Lu Bu and Zhang Fei were inconsistent.
Long Xiang suddenly realized that he was invited by Lu Bu, and his biggest purpose was to humiliate Zhang Fei behind his back. In Lu Bu's eyes, he was completely a tool person.
Thinking of this, Long Xiang poured himself over a few glasses of wine, and was carried back to the inn by Cao Xing's people again.
The remaining three days, Han Yin and Long Xiang divided their troops into two groups, giving gifts to the civil and military officials of Lu Bu, leaving a good impression on the Yuan family in Xia Pi.
Long Xiangyi was famous for his drunkenness in Xia Pi, so during his subsequent visits, the other party was very sensible and did not prepare for wine.
Three days later, Lu Bu sent someone to tactfully reveal to Han Yin that Xuzhou was in a shortage of food recently, and he did not need any other betrothal gifts to marry his daughter. He hoped that Yuan Shu could support 200,000 hu of military rations, as well as military equipment and armor.
Han Yin guessed that Lu Bu was not very angry, but he didn't expect that the other party was really speaking out.
The higher the price of Lu Bu asked for the betrothal gift at this time, the smaller the room for Han Yin to operate.
Han Yin thought about it all the way, but in the end he planned to take a risk. After all, Yuan Shu is fine, who made his lord rich and generous?
Yuan Shu took the gift list copied by Han Yin and read it sarcastically like a dish name.
"Twenty-hundred thousand hu of military rations."
"Two thousand armored collars."
"One thousand weapons."
"Three thousand silk and cloth."
"Golden One Thousand."
......
"Lu Bu has a big appetite. Think of his daughter as gold? Jinren'er is not that expensive either."
Yuan Shu raised the gift list and threw it on the ground. Although Huainan could easily take it out, Yuan felt very painful.
Han Yin picked it up carefully on the ground and bowed his hands to explain carefully:
"The lord is about to be emperor. Lu Bu thought that the prince was marrying a wife, but in fact, the prince was the prince's concubine, so he was relatively grand in order to make a betrothal gift..."
"Well... although it makes sense, he took the initiative to ask for it, which made me feel uncomfortable."
Yuan Shu slapped the table. After Han Yin's explanation just now, his anger disappeared a lot.
Seeing that Yuan Shu's tone was eased, Han Yin continued to speak: "Lu Bu is a martial artist, probably not thinking so much..."
"Okay, I don't know anything like a common man. I will let Wenze (Yan Xiang) prepare the items listed in the ritual list."
Yuan Shu shook his head helplessly, and then added: "Have Zhang Jiong's letter been delivered?"
"The letter has been delivered to Hao Meng. I have mentioned it with Chen Gong, but I don't know if they are brave enough..."
Yuan Shu stroked his beard and sneered: "Next, while preparing the betrothal gift, waiting for news from Xuzhou. Lu Bu is a man with a very bad style. It will be a matter of time before his subordinates rebelled. Hao Meng is now responsible for the defense of Xia Pi City, and the possibility of success is quite high.
