Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1434 Rarely Confused
In the darkness of night, shrill howling sounds resounded in the backyard, and they became one piece, making those trees and shrubs that had survived the cold winter and were about to germinate and wave under the bright spring all tremble, Gather the branches as much as possible to avoid being cut by the extremely sharp edge.

After a long time, Lu Bu slowly stopped Fang Tian's painting halberd, and stood in the middle of the courtyard panting.

"Lang Jun..."

"Ma'am." Lu Bu nodded, handing Fang Tian's painted halberd to the guard, took the face towel from Xiaocao, and casually wiped the sweat off his face.

But Xiaocao said softly: "Lang Jun, don't call me Madam, if Madam finds out, it will make trouble again..."

"That woman..." Lu Bu sighed, and said, "Don't pay attention to her!" Lu Bu's original wife had been dead for many years, and now it was Yan's surname, and the wife Xiaocao mentioned was her.

Because Lu Bu dotes on Xiaocao at the moment, Yan's is somewhat jealous on weekdays. Although it is hard to say anything publicly, she also shows Xiaocao's color behind her back. My son doesn't even have a last name, so how can he be a majestic man who treats me like a wife?

The power of rules has been everywhere since ancient times.

Lu Bu used to think that he was someone who could ignore rules, or even break them, but now that he was getting older, he felt more and more powerless.

Xiaocao didn't continue to say anything, but took the face towel from Lu Bu's hand, turned around behind Lu Bu, stood on tiptoe, and wiped the sweat from the back of his head and neck for Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took the tea offered by the maid at the side, gulped down a bowl, then exhaled a long breath, motioned for Xiaocao, walked to the small pavilion on the side of the courtyard, and sat down.

The maid came back and forth, pouring tea and some pastries on the table in the kiosk, saluted and then retreated.

Lu Bu watched Xiaocao cooking tea soup on one side of the table, he was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "I killed Chen Gongtai..."

Xiaocao shook her hand and almost spilled the tea soup outside, she couldn't help being stunned, and asked after a while with a sip, "This...why is this?" Then hurriedly followed up, "Lang Jun If it's inconvenient, don't tell me..."

"There's nothing hard to say..." Lu Bu looked around, but he didn't directly talk about Chen Gong's affairs, but said, "...how are the expenses in the mansion these days? Are there any shortages?"

"Hmm..." Xiaocao thought for a while, shook her head and said, "There shouldn't be anything missing. It is said that another batch was brought in yesterday... Madam counted for half a day before she finished counting..."

"This woman..." Lu Bu was dumbfounded and shook his head, "I'm more careful with these dead things than with a certain one!"

"Lang Jun..." Xiaocao also covered her mouth and secretly laughed a few times before explaining to Yan Shi, "Madam also went through a hard time, and finally... Well, Madam even specially gave me a piece of brocade, You said it was to make me a dress, but I think it would be better to make a robe for Mr. Lang... By the way, there are some Jiuyuan clay pottery mutton, how about making some for Mr. Lang to taste tomorrow?"

Lu Bu became a bit interested when he heard the words, and said, "Oh, that's fine. As for the clothes, I have a robe, you can keep some clothes for yourself..." Just as he was talking, Lu Bu suddenly thought of something , After a moment of silence, Lu Bu spoke again, muttering, as if talking to himself, "So, Zhengxi... Hey, Zhengxi..."

Lu Bu shook his head.

Xiaocao went in without knowing, but since Lu Bu didn't say it clearly, she didn't ask any more questions, but was busy with the tea soup on hand, and after a while, it was ready, and she gave the new tea to Lu Bu.

People's changes always happen unconsciously, and the first to discover these changes is often not the people who are often by their side, but long-lost friends or people who have not seen each other for a long time.

Since Lu Bu broke up with Fei Qian and Luoyang, he hadn't seen each other for several years in a blink of an eye, but now after meeting again, apart from the original residual part of the impression, he could feel Zheng Xi more clearly than anyone else. Various changes of General Fei Qian.

At that time when he was still in Luoyang, in Lu Bu's opinion, Fei Qian was just a little brother. No matter in terms of military or position, he is higher than Fei Qian, so Lu Bu doesn't feel that he is short of Fei Qian, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable in front of Fei Qian.

And now, everything seems to be the same, but everything also seems to be different.

Lu Bu still vaguely remembered that when he was in Luoyang, when Fei Qian was speaking, he had to make some gestures and use a little more emphasis to express or strengthen his words. These are no longer needed.

As the so-called Ju Yi Qi nourishes his body, Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West, after these days of experience in Bingbei Sanfu and tempered in the battlefield, today's Fei Qian no longer needs exaggerated movements and words, and his expression is always It is calm, and the tone is indifferent, but no one dares to listen attentively.

No matter when and what happened, Fei Qian's smile, which made Lv Bu feel a little warm, now became hard to see through. Even the layout of the Taiyuan incident this time made Lu Bu feel that General Zheng Xi had a plan in mind, There is a deep sense of the city, which makes Lu Bu no longer dare to underestimate Fei Qian.

This kind of feeling is hard to explain. If you want to say something specific, Lu Bu can't say it, but you can feel that Fei Qian, the little brother in the past, has grown into a person who needs Lu Bu to look up to see.

This kind of discovery inevitably made Lu Bu feel a little uneasy. Therefore, after Chen Gong proposed, although Lu Bu did not fully agree with it, he did not object. Strictly speaking, Lu Bu may not have fully realized that he did not intend to control Fei Qian, General of Zhengxi, died, just wanted to return to the situation in Luoyang when he was relatively higher than Fei Qian...

However, Lu Bu found that he seemed to have punched in the air...

This feeling……

Lu Bu sighed a long time, and said, "I don't drink tea anymore, is there any wine? Go get some wine!"

Although Xiaocao felt that it was a bit of a pity that Lu Bu had to change the tea after drinking a few sips of the tea soup that she had cooked so hard, but since it was Lu Bu's wish, Xiaocao never thought of going against it, so she just ordered it. Head, went down and ordered someone to fetch some wine and pour it for Lu Bu.

"Wait..." Lu Bu pointed to the table and said, "Pour two glasses..."

Xiaocao said coyly: "Lang Jun, I...I don't drink..."

"Haha..." Lu Bu raised his head and smiled, but there was some desolation in the laughter, "It's not for you... pour it..."

Xiaocao went in without knowing it, but still poured two glasses of wine on the table according to Lu Bu's intention.

Lu Bu stared at the two glasses of wine, neither drinking nor speaking. After a long time, Lu Bu picked up one of the glasses, poured it on the ground, put down the cup, took the other one, and drank it down...

....................................

"Congratulations, General!" Cui Jun was quite high-spirited, and he groaned loudly, "It can be said that it is a joke to talk about disarming the armor blade, a clever plan to calm the chaos. The ruler and slip will determine the danger of the army, and Taiyuan will be determined with one word!"

Fei Qian chuckled twice, and said, "Zhouping is too famous."

"Don't be modest, general. This clever solution to the military crisis is really a blessing for the people of Taiyuan..." Cui Jun was really happy and admired. Although there was some flattery in his words, he was more fortunate And thank you, after all, Cui Jun is the prefect of Taiyuan now. Although Cui Jun is not responsible for Lu Bu's rebellion this time, if Taiyuan is messed up by soldiers because of this, Cui Jun will not look good, let alone this autumn. There are some problems with Sui Fu, so it can be resolved peacefully. For Cui Jun, it is really the best.

Fei Qian smiled and said nothing further.

Everyone touches different levels and considers problems from different angles.Common people think that the issue of livelihood is the most important issue, while businessmen may think that profit is the lifeblood. Officials who claim to be clean may have a heart to plead for the lives of the people in the world. , everything else is worthless.

So does Lu Bu still have ambitions?
Fei Qian couldn't be sure.

Although Zhang Liao reported back that Lu Bu killed Chen Gong in a fit of anger, Fei Qian believed that the matter was not that simple...

Lu Bu doesn't know how to plot?
It is said that Lu Bu didn't understand these things when he first stepped into Luoyang, Fei Qian still believed it, but now, if Lu Bu still doesn't understand at all, this...

Who believes?

Just like being cut by a knife, there will always be scars. Lu Bu has been tricked and displaced for so many years. Didn't he leave any scars?
So the question now is, should we get to the bottom of it, or should we turn a blind eye?

It seems that the options on both fronts are not very good.

In the original plan, Fei Qian was going to push Lu Bu to the predicament a little more, and then pull him back. In this way, not only can he still show the meaning of buying a bone with a lot of money, but he can further weaken Lu Bu's strength. However, Zhang Liao's After pleading, Fei Qian made a little concession.

After all, Fei Qian felt that Zhang Liao was more important than Lu Bu.

But now whether Lu Bu killed Chen Gong on his own initiative or by force, these are not very important, the important thing is how to arrange Lu Bu...

Cui Jun looked at Fei Qian's expression and said, "The general is worried about how to arrange Wen Hou?"

Fei Qian nodded and said, "What can Zhouping do?"

Cui Jun said with a smile: "The wild is unruly, and if you don't want to take its life, just cut off its minions!"

Fei Qian pondered for a moment, then said: "Someone once heard that if a liger and a tiger rule a sheep, the sheep will be fierce and bloodthirsty. If a liger and a tiger are ruled by a sheep, the liger and tiger will be as cowardly as a sheep... If the two are fighting each other, the liger and the tiger will be fierce and bloodthirsty. If you rule the sheep, you can beat the sheep who rule the ligers... I don't know if Zhouping thinks so?"

Cui Jun froze for a moment, stroked his beard and said, "It seems to make sense...but..."

"Zhouping might as well just say it." Fei Qian said with a smile.

"Ligers and tigers are born with sharp claws and strong tendons, while cattle and sheep are mild-tempered. How can they be mixed together?" Cui Jun saw that Fei Qian's face was not displeased, so he continued, "Ligers and tigers are greedy for blood, cattle and sheep are gentle. Sheep begging for nothing, their nature is also like this, how can we change it lightly?"

Fei Qian nodded slowly.

Originally, Fei Qian wanted to keep Lu Bu and become an 800,000-strong military instructor. Of course, Fei Qian was definitely not doing it for the Zhang family, but felt that if some of Lu Bu's martial arts could be passed on, it would be a great thing. matter.

However, Cui Jun's words reminded Fei Qian that a liger is still a liger after all, even if it can mix with cattle and sheep for a while, no one can be sure that the liger will suddenly explode and become wild on that day...

So the best way is to let the liger go where it should go.

Fei Qian now somewhat understands that in history, Yuan Shao and Cao Cao both let Liu Bei go. Is it because they don't know the threat of Liu Bei?Is it because they don't know that the pawns "loaned" to Liu Bei are meat buns and dogs, and they will never return?
Yuan Shao may be a bit stupid, but Cao Cao did the same thing, which shows that both Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are actually facing the same problem, just like the problem Fei Qian is facing now.

Use it, dare not use it, and use it may not be very useful, kill, it is not easy to kill, and still need this signboard to show your tolerance...

Forget it, it can only be close to each other, and the distance produces beauty.

After pondering for a moment, Fei Qian said, "How about sending Marquis Wen to Jiuyuan to regain his homeland?" However, it is not possible to ask Lu Bu publicly, the best way is to ask Lu Bu to propose it on his own initiative.

In fact, Fei Qian has already been doing this, but he doesn't know when the effect will be achieved...

Cui Jun clapped his hands and smiled, "It's wonderful!"

Fei Qian nodded and said, "So, if Marquis Wen goes to Jiuyuan, Zhouping will have to worry about the money and food needed in the early stage."

"This... this is natural..." Cui Jun shook his eyebrows and said, "However, Taiyuan is not a rich place, so it might as well be limited to three thousand soldiers..."

"Okay, let's prepare in two years..." Fei Qian didn't bother to bargain with Cui Jun. After all, three thousand soldiers is not a big amount. If Lu Bu thinks it's not enough, let him figure out a solution by himself. Anyway, there are quite a lot of horse thieves and barbarians in Jiuyuan now, and fighting is supported by fighting. In terms of Lu Bu's martial arts, the problem is not very big.

"Two years?" Cui Jun sighed and nodded, "I would like to obey the general's order."

Fei Qian looked at Cui Jun, and said, "Zhou Ping is worried about the lack of warehouse resources?"

Cui Jun smiled a little embarrassedly and said: "Don't dare to lie to the general. Taiyuan had no prefect for a long time, so it was empty, and Junchu arrived... this..."

Fei Qian looked at Cui Jun and shook his head.

Seeing this, Cui Jun couldn't help but feel a little kicked in his heart, he smiled carefully and asked, "What advice does the general have?"

Fei Qian pointed to Taiyuan City and said, "Although the mastermind is dead, there are many rebels, how can you forgive them lightly?"

Cui Jun looked stunned, and immediately cupped his hands in thanks: "If the general hadn't woken up, Jun would have missed something important!"

Fei Qian looked at Cui Jun, squinted his eyes slightly, and said meaningfully: "Zhou Ping... It's too late to know too much..."

Cui Jun twitched his face, nodded embarrassingly and smiled twice.

Although they are not sages, even sages have their own ideas, not to mention Lu Bu and Cui Jun, but as long as they are within the appropriate range, these ideas can still be tolerated...

After all, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Being smart is not difficult, what is difficult is being confused after being smart.

Forget it, let's be confused for a while and then talk...
