The Strongest Lu Bu's Sweeping Thousands of Armies

Chapter 396
After walking around the mine, Guo Tu and Cui Yan felt a lot of emotion.

When they came out of the well and looked at each other again, they couldn't help laughing.

The bottom of the mine can only be illuminated by torches, and they can clearly distinguish each other when they look at each other.

When I went to the mine, the sun shone on my face, and the whole face was covered with black coal ash. Except for the eyes and teeth, there was a little white, and the whole head was completely black.

Lu Bu, who was also covered in soot, asked the two of them, "What's the matter? Are you afraid to recognize each other when you go to the mine?"

"General Lu is really right," Guo Tu said, "How can we recognize each other with this appearance?"

"A face full of soot doesn't look like talking." Lu Bu said to the two with a smile, "It's better to go to the pool and talk while taking a bath."

Guo Tu and Cui Yan agreed, and followed Lu Bu to the bathing place where the miners bathed.

When the bathhouse was first built, someone proposed to build a special bath for the steward.

Lu Bu also agreed at that time.

But the stewards of the mine felt that it would cost too much, so they didn't do that. It's just that ordinary craftsmen were not allowed to enter while they were taking a bath.

Lu Bu, Guo Tu, and Cui Yan walked into the bathing place. Except for Sun Ce who accompanied them, the steward and the people who accompanied them down the well could only wait outside, and only dared to go in to wash after they finished bathing.

After taking off his clothes, Lu Bu came to the pool.

He first took out a basin of water from the pool and stood by the side of the pool to wash it.

Guo Tu and Cui Yan were not impolite either. Seeing him cleaning like this, the two followed suit. Only Sun Ce took care of him and didn't clean up immediately.

After washing off the floating ash on his body, Lu Bu went into the pool.

After Guo Tu and Cui Yan went into the pool, Sun Ce scooped up water in a basin to rinse.

Sitting on the edge of the pool imitating Lu Bu, Guo Xiang asked him, "Why didn't General Lu go directly into the pool just now? Soaking here is much more refreshing than standing outside to rinse."

"The water in the pool is really clear." Holding up a handful of water, Lu Bu said, "When we went down the well, the workers here must have changed the water again. You know, they pumped up each pool of water bucket by bucket. If we wash carefully, they don't need to change the water very quickly, and they wash it outside before going down, which also saves a lot of work for the craftsmen."

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu could even consider these things, Cui Yan said: "General Lu is completely different from what I have heard before."

"Every mouth makes money." Lu Bu said, "At the beginning, Liu Xuande spoke ill of me everywhere in order to destroy me, so I got the notoriety of a family slave with three surnames. Until now, people in the world still can't go there when they hear my name. Thinking about the benefits, it’s also the reason why I haven’t defended myself before.”

"In the future, if someone says something wrong with the general, we can defend the general on behalf of the general." Guo Tu said from the side.

"I don't expect the two of you to defend me either." Lu Bu chuckled, "If the two of you don't speak ill of me in front of people in the future, it will be a great blessing to me."

"General Lu is a remarkable person. Even if we want to say bad things, I'm afraid we can't find a reason." Guo Tu said to Lu Bu: "Don't worry, General, if someone really speaks in front of us in the future If these generals are wrong, we will definitely rectify the general's name."

"Actually, Guo Gong and Cui Gong have also met Liu Xuande." Lu Bu leaned against the edge of the pool, looked up at the beams of the house, and said to the two of them, "You might as well think about it. For so many years, wherever Liu Xuande has been, is there anyone?" Something good happened?"

Guo Tu and Cui Yan glanced at each other, after Lu Bu's reminder, they really found out that this is the truth.

But wherever Liu Bei has been, there will always be no good things.

"Liu Xuande is deceitful, and he never knew how to write the word qingyi." Lu Bu said: "Just because he can pretend to be honest in front of people, the world thinks he is an honest old man. According to me, he is The most deceitful hypocrite in the world."

"The feud between General Lu and Cao Mengde seems to have been provoked by Liu Xuande." Cui Yan asked, "The general took Xuzhou back then and offended Liu Xuande. I don't know why the general did that? After all, he was the one who took you in."

"Accept?" Lu Bu smiled coldly: "I just arrived in Xuzhou, and he pretended to hand over Xuzhou. At that time, I really didn't intend to take it, but he kept giving in, so I had no choice but to accept it. I always accept other people's kindness." Can't I get away with it? Unfortunately, I didn't expect that he was just putting on a show at that time, and when I really got Xuzhou, he would fight with me, and later lost his wife. For the first time, I saved it for him Ma'am, I didn't expect him to say countless bad things about me in front of Cao Cao during the battle of Xiapi, intending to put me to death."

What Lu Bu said are all fragments of memory that emerged in his mind. Although this body has experienced it, it is not the soul in the body that has also experienced it.

He said these things out of his mouth, just to let Guo Tu and Cui Yan understand what happened in the first place.

For so many years, Liu Bei has been able to impress an honest and honest elder. To put it bluntly, that is, he will put on a show in front of people, making people think that he is really honest and honest, but in fact it is not the case at all.

After talking about the experience of Lu Bu in the past, he went on to say: "After the battle of Xiapi, he tried to murder Cao Cao because of his clothes and belts. Cao Cao saw it through and wanted to take the opportunity to take back Xuzhou from me. It's a pity that he overestimated I also underestimated me. This time I got his two wives again..."

"The general doesn't seem to have seen Liu Xuande afterwards." Guo Tu asked, "May I ask the general, how will he deal with his two wives this time?"

"It was indeed his wife back then, but now the two wives are named Lu." Lu Bu chuckled, and said to Guo Tu and Cui Yan: "Liu Xuande doesn't care about his wife. Whenever something happens, he always runs away first. The lady left it to someone else. I thought, since he doesn't want it, then I will accept it. The two ladies are weak women, I can't just watch them drifting away and remain indifferent? After all, I am not Liu Xuande, compared with him Come to think of it, I still value friendship very much.”

"General Lu's actions really made people feel happy." Guo Tu said: "When I saw Liu Xuande at the beginning, I also felt that he was not a good friend. His face really made people feel very honest. He often looked like He looks like a honest person, but inside he is very deceitful."

"Mr. Guo still understands the truth." Lu Bu asked Guo Tu, "Dare to ask Mr. Guo, what happened when Liu Xuande abandoned Yuan's family and fled to Jingzhou?"

"It's completely unbelievable that he betrayed the Yuan family." Mentioning Liu Bei's betrayal of the Yuan family, Guo Tu frowned slightly: "It was all good at first, but I don't know why, but he actually ran to Qingzhou. The young master kidnapped some soldiers and horses, and then entered Mount Tai to fight a few times under the command of the general, and when the young master remembered to ask him where he was going, he had already gone to Jingzhou."

"It's good if Liu Xuande is not in Hebei." Lu Bu smiled and said to Guo Tu and Cui Yan: "If he stays with Yuan Gong, Hebei will be very lively today."

"It is said that Liu Xuande went to Jingzhou, so far it has been calm." Cui Yan said, "Maybe he hasn't found a way to defraud Liu Jingsheng yet."

"There are many heroes in the world, and the only ones who haven't benefited Liu Xuande too much are Duke Yuan and Cao Cao." Lu Bu said, "Cao Cao is suspicious and never really trusts him. Liu Xuande didn't benefit from the Cao family. As expected. As for Yuan Gong, he is a hero of the present age, with mere Liu Xuande, how can it be easy to get too many benefits from the Yuan family?"

"What the general said is exactly." Guo Tu replied: "My lord is very strategic, although he has a magnanimous mind, it is not an opportunity for a villain to take advantage of."

He changed the subject, and said to Lu Bu again: "I came to the coal mine with Cui Gong for the sake of coal. Why did we talk about Liu Xuande? If he makes people feel disgusted like him, the general should not mention him."

"Alright, don't mention Liu Xuande." Lu Bu replied with a smile: "I don't know why, but when I mention him, I feel uncomfortable, so I talked too much, please don't blame me."

"Liu Xuande cheated the general, and everyone in the world knows about it." Cui Yan said: "It is reasonable for the general to mention him."

He then asked Lu Bu, "May I ask General Lu, how should the coal be transported to Hebei? Did the general send the carriage, or..."

"The horse-drawn carriage used by Duke Guo to transport the armor before can carry quite a lot." Lu Bu said, "Nowadays our army lacks horses, so we really can't find a horse-drawn carriage..."

What Lu Bu meant was obviously that he was unwilling to send someone to escort the coal to Hebei.

Guo Tu and Cui Yan were satisfied with getting the coal, and they didn't really care whether he would send a carriage to send it.

Guo Tu said: "I see that although there is not much coal outside, the carriages I brought can't be loaded. Didn't General Lu say before that if we stay here for a few days, the general will give us the coal produced? "

Knowing what Guo Tu meant, Lu Bu laughed and asked him: "Mr. Guo means to let these carriages send the coal back first, and then let them come to Pengcheng to take the rest away?"

"That's exactly what it means." Guo Tu said: "One back and one back, not half a month..."

"Don't bother Mr. Guo." Lu Bu smiled and waved his hands: "Turn around and see how much coal has been hoarded outside, and I will set aside half of it to send to Mr. Yuan."

"What General Lu means is that we don't need to stay here?" In fact, neither Guo Tu nor Cui Yan really wanted to stay in Pengcheng. After all, Yecheng is their home, and they hoped to return to Yecheng earlier. things.

Lu Bu also didn't want them to stay in Pengcheng.

If either of the two stayed in Pengcheng, it would not be particularly convenient for him to lead the army out.

Instead of keeping one of them, it would be better to send them all away, and send them more coal.

"If the two of you want to stay, I'm absolutely welcome." Lu Bu said, "It's just that according to the status of the two in Hebei, if you stay in Pengcheng for too long, I'm afraid it will delay a lot of things. I had a very happy conversation with Guo Gong and Cui Gong, so what Are you willing to see you delay important matters? Sending more coal to Hebei is not a big deal, do you two think that our friendship is not worth the coal?"

"It's still General Lu who understands the truth." Guo Tu and Cui Yan looked at each other and smiled, Guo Tu said: "When we return to Yecheng, we will definitely tell the general's love for the Lord and Hebei in front of the Lord. I told you all."

"There are two good words for me in front of Yuan Gong, and it is a profit to send more coal." Lu Bu laughed, picked up the soap by the sink, and handed it to Guo Tu: "Guo Gong uses it first, and I will get someone to give it to you." Cui Gong takes a piece."

Ever since Lu Bu came to the coal mine and taught him the art of making soap, Zhang Shiping has mass-produced this artifact that can clean dirt.

Nowadays, soap is not only used in coal mines, but also in Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and even in the homes of ordinary people.

Holding the soap, Guo Tu said: "This thing should be soap. I heard that it was spread from Xuzhou."

"To tell you the truth, the soap is made by me." Lu Bu said, "It was by chance that I got the craft of making soap, and then passed it on to the craftsmen. It is very useful."

"It turned out that General Lu figured it out." Guo Tu said, "It's no wonder that it was randomly thrown by the pool here. If it was placed in Hebei, soap would be very hard to find."

"Since it's so precious in Hebei, I'll have someone send a box to each of you later." Lu Bu said, "After you bring it back to Hebei, you two can also take it to give away."

"Except for the two of us..." Lu Bu wanted to give them soap, but Cui Yan hesitated to remind him.

Lu Bu slapped his forehead: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot about the third son of the Yuan family. Later, I will give you two four boxes. Two of the boxes are for your own use, and the other two boxes, one for the third son, and the other One box will be given to Mrs. Yuan's family."

He didn't say that he would give the soap to Yuan Shao, but that he would give it to Mrs. Liu. Guo Tu and Cui Yan were stunned for a moment, and then they both smiled heartily.

The perception of Lu Bu in the past was really wrong.

Not only does he know how to be a human being, he even makes it to the extreme.

The soap was given to Yuan Shao, and he also distributed it to the wives and concubines in the back house.

Instead of doing favors for Yuan Shao, it is better to give the soap to Mrs. Liu directly.

As the owner of Yuan Shao's concubine, Mrs. Liu's words are often useful. If she pleases Mrs. Liu, Lu Bu's affairs in Hebei will be much smoother in the future.

"The Marquis of Chu gave it to Madam, and I will personally deliver it when I return to Hebei." Guo Tu said, "I will also say a few good words for Marquis Chu in front of Madam."

"That would be great." Lu Bu said with a smile, "When you leave the coal mine, you two should also prepare to take all the coal here."
