Summoning of God of War of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 78

In Pengcheng, Xuzhou, all the fierce generals under Lu Bu's command gathered in the General's Mansion to welcome the envoys from Jizhou.

The envoys sent by Jizhou were two very important people around Han Fu, Geng Wu and Guan Chun.

When Chen Gong learned that it was these two people who came to Jizhou, he was startled and asked Lu Bu to take care of him.

Lu Bu didn't know the status of Geng Wu and Guan Chun in Jizhou, and at first he only thought they were small envoys.

Standing in the hall of the General's Mansion, Geng Wu and Guan Chun faced Lu Bu confidently, even though he was a tiger.

Geng Wu clasped his fists to Lu Bu and said, "I'm Geng Wu, whose name is Wenwei. I will make a long history under the tent of Lord Han Fu, the governor of Jizhou."

Facing Lu Bu, although Geng Wu maintained his dignity and kept a humble attitude, he also gave Lu Bu enough face.

Because Geng Wu knew that this time he and Guan Chun came to Xuzhou Pengcheng for the purpose of doing business with Lu Bu.

Chen Gong has been watching Lu Bu's expression all the time, he is very good at reading words and expressions, he has already seen that Lu Bu looks down on Geng Wu and Guan Chun.

Lu Bu was arrogant and arrogant, especially now that he was out of Dong Zhuo's control, he looked down on others even more.

Only those with strong military strength and excellent strategy can enter Lu Bu's eyes. Perhaps this is the arrogance of being a strong man.

Chen Gong took a deep breath, and hurriedly said: "So it's Mr. Geng Wu and Mr. Guan Chun. They came to Pengcheng on purpose. They must have something important to do, right?"

"This is Chen Gong, whose name is Gongtai. Although my lord is a benevolent person, he is rather straightforward. If there are any inappropriate words, please also ask Haihan."

Lu Bu looked down on Geng Wu and Guan Chun, but Chen Gong had to show respect for them.

The smiling face was very friendly, Chen Gong showed his kindness to Geng Wu Guanchun, and at the same time glanced at Lu Bu.

Although Lu Bu was arrogant, he respected Chen Gong a lot and immediately changed his attitude.

Seeing Chen Gong glance at him, Lu Bu thought to himself, "Could it be that Mr. Gongtai has a new plan to win over Jizhou?"

"The generals of Jizhou have Yuwen Chengdu, and even Dianwei. They have no shortage of strong generals. Why do they come to win me over?"

Lu Bu's mind is relatively straight, and he is not considered a bright minded person, so he didn't want to understand the reason why Geng Wu Guanchun came to Pengcheng.

After hearing Chen Gong's words, Guan Chun hurriedly cupped his fists to Chen Gong, and replied politely: "So it's Mr. Gongtai, Guan Chun is being polite here."

After Guan Chun and Geng Wu heard Chen Gong introduce themselves, they all bowed their heads to Chen Gong.

Military generals generally feel that politeness among literati is red tape, but Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who are standing nearby don't think so.

Both Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were relatively restrained and shrewd generals. They saw that Geng Wu Guanchun respected Mr. Chen Gong so much, there must be something wrong.

Although Guan Chun and Geng Wu respected Chen Gong very much on the surface, they were also complaining about what Chen Gong said just now.

The two thought in their hearts: "Lv Bu Lu Fengxian, who killed his adoptive father twice, is completely a family slave of the three surnames, and now he is just living under the fence."

"Chen Gong can really flatter you. What kind of benevolent and righteous person? If Lu Bu is a benevolent and righteous person, then isn't my young master the reincarnation of an immortal to save all sentient beings?"

Although Geng Wuguan looked down on Lu Bu in his heart, he didn't dare to say it out, it would be too impolite to say it out.

Guan Chun smiled lightly, and immediately organized his words, saying: "General Lu, the general is a straightforward person. My son told us before he asked us to come, let us not beat around the bush with you."

"In that case, let's get straight to the point. This time, the two of us are coming to Pengcheng because we have a deal to discuss with the general."

Guan Chun turned his head to check Lu Bu's expression, and at the same time, according to Han Wu's previous instructions, he talked directly with Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu heard Guan Chun say that Han Wu wanted to discuss a deal with him, he immediately relaxed a lot and stopped guessing randomly.

Lu Bu has been guessing what the purpose of Guan Chun and Geng Wu came to Pengcheng, and he even guessed whether Han Wu wanted to marry him.

Chen Gong was worried about Lu Bu's bad things, so he said quickly: "It's okay for you two to say, but Gongtai really wants to know what business Mr. Han has, and wants to discuss cooperation with us."

Guan Chun and Geng Wu saw that Lu Bu and Chen Gong showed curiosity, and they knew that the matter was half done.

Guan Chun didn't hesitate any more.

After he glanced at the generals in the hall, he signaled Lu Bu to let them all go down with his eyes.

Lu Bu was not at all worried that Geng Wu and Guan Chun would have the courage to take the opportunity to harm him, even if they had the courage, they would not have the strength.

After waving his hand, Lu Bu let everyone else go down, leaving only Zhang Liao and Gao Shun in the hall of the General's Mansion.

Chen Gong naturally did not leave, he had a very high status in Lu Bu's place, so he had to be present when facing these major events.

Guan Chun saw that Lu Bu was so forthright, so he said: "General Lu, my son said that this transaction has a price but no market, and the general will definitely agree."

"The two thousand Bingzhou war horses are all good horses from Bingzhou. My son is willing to exchange the horses for food and grass in Xuzhou."

After hearing Guan Chun's words, Lu Bu, who was originally very calm, immediately jumped up, obviously shocked!
Lu Bu was shocked in his heart.

Horses are the most rare strategic material, and now Guan Chun has actually said that he wants to sell horses, and there are still two thousand horses.

Even Chen Gong was sweating, for a moment he thought Guan Chun was joking, but he calmed down the next moment.

There is no need for Guan Chun to use his life to make a joke, because the business involving two thousand war horses is definitely not small.

Lu Bu said: "Aren't you two joking? In the whole world, where are the princes who are willing to sell war horses?"

Subconsciously thinking that Geng Wu and Guan Chun were fooling himself, Lu Bu immediately stood up.

Chen Gong was worried that something bad would happen to Lu Bu, so he immediately asked, "You two, are what you said true? Selling war horses, or two thousand horses, is no small matter!"

Hearing Chen Gong's disbelief, Geng Wu burst out laughing, he knew that the matter was basically a success.

Geng Wu said: "General Lu's ability to traverse the Central Plains is nothing more than relying on Bingzhou wolf cavalry. After all, Bingzhou's war horses are the best."

"Our Jizhou is rich, and the two thousand war horses in Bingzhou are rich, but I will not hide it from you, Jizhou lacks food and grass."

"If it hadn't been for the soldiers of Jizhou who were in great need of food and grass to attack the Southern Huns, Mr. Han would never have sold the horses."

Geng Wu didn't hide anything, he directly told the truth.

After Chen Gong heard Geng Wu's words, he immediately asked: "Jizhou has always been rich, even if it consumes a lot to conquer the Black Mountain bandits, it is absolutely impossible that there will be no food and grass."

"Tell me your real purpose, sell us the war horse, what other requests do you have!"

Chen Gong didn't believe that Han Wu would sell war horses for no reason, he must have some plan.

Geng Wu saw that Chen Gong was so shrewd, he smiled slightly, and said: "Mr. Gongtai is really shrewd, our young master does have requests."

"My son hopes that General Lu Bu can lead troops to harass Qingzhou, because Jizhou leads troops north to crusade against aliens, and Qingzhou Yuan Shao is likely to send troops to attack Qinghe County."

"If General Lu Bu can contain Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, then this deal will be considered a success."

"As for the price of the horses... five shi for each horse, no less."

As soon as Geng Wu finished speaking, Lu Bu took a deep breath in shock, and he almost got angry.

A war horse has five shi of grain and grass, and two thousand horses is worth [-] shi. This is not a small number.

But just as Lu Bu was about to get angry, he calmed down. He calculated the account and felt that it was not a loss.

There is no market for war horses, so if you buy two thousand excellent war horses from Bingzhou for [-] shi of grain and grass, it is really a huge profit!
After all, Lu Bu's current food and grass are all funded by Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, who is quite generous and rich.
