Fantasy Three Kingdoms: Four knots in Taoyuan at the beginning

Chapter 39 038, only a thousand taels of gold
Zuo Feng did not disappoint. Three days later, Zuo Feng arrived at Lu Zhi's barracks.

Although Zuo Feng was just a small Huangmen, he came here on behalf of the court this time. As a special envoy of the court, even if Lu Zhi liked the eunuch very much, he could only hold his nose and wait in front of the gate of Daying.

Liu Bei and Chen Yuan naturally followed Lu Zhi and waited in front of Daying Gate.

Not long after, a group of people and horses appeared in front of everyone, about a dozen cavalrymen, escorting a carriage.

Among the carriages must be Zuo Feng.

The purpose of Zuo Feng's visit this time was to inspect the army and suppress the war situation of the Yellow Turbans under the order of the emperor.

This is a good job, and Zuo Feng took a lot of effort to win this inspection from Zhang Rang.

Why is it called a beautiful job, because you can ask for bribes.

As a special envoy of the imperial court, although he can't reverse black and white, he only needs to do something wrong to make a military commander lose his good image in front of the emperor.

Therefore, generally speaking, the generals in front will not offend these special envoys.

Therefore, these people can take advantage of the opportunity.

This time Zuo Feng came here with the idea of ​​earning a fortune.

In his opinion, Lu Zhi must be very rich to lead an army of tens of thousands to suppress the Yellow Turbans, and he has decided to take a serious bite in his heart.

When Zuo Feng got out of the car, he was still happy to see Lu Zhi greet him in front of Daying Gate.

Others say that Lu Zhi's second child is stubborn and arrogant, but it's not true at all. Isn't this very good, they greeted me outside the camp.

Although Zuo Feng is greedy and greedy, he is still very good in one thing.

That is, if you give me face, I will give you face.

Lu Zhi gave him such a big face, Zuo Feng was not arrogant, got out of the car quickly, walked in front of Lu Zhi, bowed before Lu Zhi saluted, and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Mr. Lu, to welcome you outside."

Lu Zhi was very upset at first, but now that Zuo Feng is so knowledgeable about etiquette, Lu Zhi can't do anything, so he can only reply: "Huangmen is the special envoy of the imperial court, and Zhi should welcome him."

After finishing speaking, Lu Zhi stretched out his hand and said: "Please also invite the special envoy to enter the camp and announce the emperor's edict."

Zuo Feng nodded, then walked into the camp first.

After entering the big tent, everyone bowed, and Zuo Feng read out the imperial edict of Han Lingdi.

This edict has no actual content, it is nothing more than a verbal commendation to Lu Zhi, and then let Lu Zhi make persistent efforts to clear up and suppress the Yellow Turbans as soon as possible, clear up the rebellion, and so on.

After reading the emperor's edict, Zuo Feng's first mission was completed.

He also has a second task, which is to inspect the army and ask Lu Zhi when he can take down Guangzong and kill Zhang Jiao.

Zuo Feng is just pretending to inspect the army, he knows a shit about the army.

And it's no excuse to make money.

The most important thing is to ask when Lu Zhi will be able to win Guangzong, because there is a lot of knowledge in it.

It all depends on Zuo Feng's mouth.

A typical example is repeated defeats and repeated defeats.

The former highlights that the coach is a waste, while the latter highlights the coach's indomitable will.

Although a thing is one thing, it is completely different to put it another way.

This is also the reason why many generals in the front do not want to offend the special envoy of the imperial court. Just talking about it can spoil your good deeds, can you not be afraid!

So when Zuo Feng asked when Guangzong could be defeated, Lu Zhi didn't think much about it: "Although the thief's first horn has been injured, his cultivation is extraordinary. Zhi wants to surround it with soldiers, and when its food runs out, he can break through the city and capture the thieves, and he will not disappoint the emperor."

Zuo Feng was overjoyed when he heard this.

This is an excuse to deliver it to your door.

Originally, Zuo Feng was still worried about what reason he would use to get money from Lu Zhi, and it would be a bit shameless to ask for it directly.

Well now there is an excuse.

Chen Yuan has been observing Lu Zhi and Zuo Feng. When Lu Zhi finished speaking, he saw Zuo Feng's excited eyes.

Chen Yuan knew that this guy was probably going to ask for bribes.

Because Lu Zhi gave this guy a good excuse.

For Emperor Ling of Han, it doesn't matter how many losses there are, even if Lu Zhi and the tens of thousands of northern troops die, it doesn't matter, as long as Guangzong can be captured and Zhang Jiao can be captured and killed.

Therefore, Han Lingdi definitely didn't like what Lu Zhi said.

Zuo Feng wanted to ask for bribes now, but he didn't ask for bribes in front of everyone.

Firstly, he wanted to save face, and secondly, he also wanted to give Lu Zhi some face.

Therefore, when Zuo Feng heard what Lu Zhi said, he said to the other people in the account: "Everyone, I have an important matter to discuss with Mr. Lu, so please avoid it for a while."

Hearing what Zuo Feng said, everyone looked at Lu Zhi.

Although Lu Zhi didn't know what Zuo Feng wanted to do, he was a special envoy of the imperial court after all, so he still had to give him some face.

So with a wave of his hand, everyone left the camp.

Chen Yuan followed Liu Bei out of the camp and came to a remote place. Chen Yuan said to Liu Bei, "Brother, what do you think this special envoy will discuss with Mr. Lu?"

Liu Bei thought for a while: "It's nothing more than attacking Guangzong City."

Chen Yuan smiled: "Brother, believe it or not, the special envoy is asking for bribes from Duke Lu."

Liu Bei's eyes widened when he heard the words: "Zichu, don't talk nonsense, how can a dignified special envoy of the imperial court do such a dirty thing."

Damn, Emperor Zhaolie is still a hot-blooded young man, and he doesn't know enough about the darkness of the imperial court.

Chen Yuan didn't want to argue with Liu Bei, but said: "Well, brother, let's make a bet, if I'm right, I'll use 1000 taels of gold, if I'm wrong, how about I give brother a county? "

Liu Bei glared at Chen Yuan fiercely: "Zichu, how can the imperial court give and accept in private, and you can't talk about it in the future, or don't blame elder brother for getting angry."

Chen Yuan was helpless. At this time, Liu Bei didn't have the heart of a hero at all. Maybe he just wanted to be a famous official who will go down in history.

But don't worry, after Dong Zhuo's chaos, I think my elder brother will change his mind.

Therefore, Chen Yuan quickly admitted his mistake: "My little brother is wrong, but if I am right, can big brother let me use 1000 taels of gold?"

Liu Bei didn't even think about it: "My brother, why be so polite, as long as it doesn't affect the army, you can spend as much money as you want."

You know, at this time, Liu Bei and the others only had a total of more than 2000 taels of gold. This is the money they took from these yellow scarves after they killed so many yellow scarves.

Especially in the battle of Beihai, Guan Hai contributed more than 500 taels of yellow scarves.

Now, Liu Bei approved without even asking what Chen Yuan was doing with the money. It is conceivable how much Liu Bei trusted Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan's heart warmed up uncommonly, the feeling of being trusted is really great.

Chen Yuan's face was serious: "Brother, don't worry, Yuan will definitely let the thousand taels of yellow scarves play a greater role."
