"General Lu."

Chen Deng was young and sharp. When he noticed Lu Bu's return, he stood up and saluted first. Chen Gui, who was sitting next to him, looked like an old man. He stood up tremblingly, half way up and then stood down, then nodded slightly in greeting.

Lu Bu didn't mind that Chen Gui was selling his old age on purpose, but he remembered that Gao Shun's men were gone, so he guessed that the Chen family and his son had arrived early.

Is it a spy who tipped off the news? Or is there something else going on between the two of them? With a face filled with questions, Lu Bu asked calmly: "You two, what's the matter?"

"I heard that the general's death is approaching, so I came here to pay my respects!" Chen Gui stroked his white beard and nodded slightly, looking at the patient like an old Chinese medicine doctor.

Lu Bu originally listened to Chen Gong's advice and felt hatred for the Chen family in Xuzhou. He finally adjusted his mood on the road, but when he didn't want to go in, he was verbally attacked by Chen Gui. He felt as if he had eaten a fly.

His forehead went dark, and he looked happy.

"Doctor, why do you say this?" Lu Bu asked coldly. (Doctor, originally an ancient official name, later generally refers to the bureaucratic class, and is used similarly to address leaders, bosses, etc.)

Chen Gui moved his folded robe and said slowly: "Marquis Wen's initial control of Xuzhou is not stable. Let Liu Bei live in Xiaopei as a cornerstone. In the south, he can resist Yuan Shu's troops in Huainan, and in the north, he can defend against Cao Cao's troops in Yanzhou.

, it was originally the best policy, but if the general cuts off his arm, doesn’t it mean that his death is imminent?”

"Broken arm?"

Facing Chen Gui who was relying on his old age in the hall, Lu Bu stood condescendingly at the door, with no intention of entering to 'receive a lesson'.

"Xiaopei is Xiapi's arm. Yuan Shu married Marquis Wen at the front, and sent Ji Ling to attack Xiaopei at the back. Could it be that the general couldn't see such an obvious arm-breaking plan?"

"There is a rift between Yuan Shu and Liu Bei. How does the mutual attack between the two families have anything to do with Lu Bu's marriage? The doctor is serious."

Chen Gui, armed with a gun and a stick, teased him, but Lu Bu retorted directly. At the same time, he also made it clear that he could fight Yuan Shu and Liu Bei no matter how hard he wanted, but he would not help them.

"This statement is ridiculous. With the strength of the Huainan army, I am afraid that the general and Liu Bei may not be able to defeat him. Once Yuan Shu attacks Xiaopei, Xuzhou will be... in danger..." Chen Gui said excitedly.

Start hesitating.

"Then it's dangerous..." Seeing Chen Gui's appearance, Lu Bu couldn't help but complete the sentence, but then refuted: "I am married to Yuan Shu, even if Liu Bei is destroyed by him, why does Xuzhou need to be in danger?"

"Oh, the general is so confused. Father and son can turn against each other, let alone just in-laws. I have heard that Yuan Shu wants to be emperor. How could he not care about Xuzhou? By then, Yuan Shu will be despised by the people, and the general will become a traitor. How can there be peace in the world?

Can I tolerate you?" Chen Gui looked distressed.

Lu Bu felt it was very harsh. He thought that when Chen Gui said "father, son and brother turned against each other", he seemed to be connoting that he was going to kill Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo. He thought to himself, "Does this old thief really think I have a good temper?"

That black guy can just scold you based on his ability, why should you, old guy?

"Xuzhou is in danger. General, please make up your mind early. Don't say that Yuan Shu has no intention of Xuzhou. Guangling County is an example..." Seeing that Lu Bu didn't say anything, Chen Gui continued to strike while the iron was hot.

"The doctor is concerned about the safety of Xuzhou, so he ordered your subordinate to secretly destroy my marriage with Yuan Shu? How generous and righteous." Lu Bu suddenly strode inside with heart-wrenching words.

"Gong Wei (Chen Yu)?" Chen Gui didn't know that the grain and grass were being attacked, so he was stunned in place when he heard it.

Seeing Lu Bu's aggressive attitude, Chen Deng was worried that his father might have said something wrong. He hurriedly stood up and stepped forward to block him. He raised his hands and asked humbly: "General Lu, what did you just say? My uncle..."

Lu Bu was much taller than Chen Deng. Seeing that the other party was standing in front of him, he looked down and sneered: "A few days ago, in Xiaxiang County, Yuan Shu's dowry fleet was burned by your uncle. More than 100,000 hu of grain were lost.

How do you explain feeding fish and shrimp?"

"Can't you?"

Chen Deng immediately denied it after hearing this, but when he saw Lu Bu's words, his tone became less firm. Chen Gui, who was sitting behind him, stood up quickly as if he had eaten a "gai within a Gai", and swept away what he had just said.

He looked old and stared at Lu Bu with questioning eyes.

Lu Bu caught sight of Chen Gui's actions from the corner of his eye, and added coldly: "The harvests in various places in Xuzhou have been poor recently, and the soldiers in the camp don't have enough to eat every day... I hate wasting food the most in my life..."

"Is there any problem with Marquis Wen's information? Gong Wei was defeated by Yuan Shu in the past. He has only a thousand soldiers and horses left. He still has no place to stay. How can he have the ability to burn grain ships?" Chen Gui was the first to calm down and immediately raised his doubts.

.

Originally, the Chen family and his son were sitting, and Lu Bu stood condescendingly. Now that the other party stood up, he took advantage of the "victor's" momentum, strode to the main seat, and sat down.

"Yuan Shu only escorted three to four hundred soldiers, and Chen Gongwei's more than a thousand soldiers were not enough?"

"People say that if you catch a traitor, you will get a double, and if you catch a thief, you will get the stolen goods. Since Wen Hou said it was Uncle Cong who did it, could it be that he has captured the witness of the prisoner?" Chen Deng was quick in thinking and reacted very quickly. He deduced that even if it was Chen Yu who did it, in terms of military strength,

In the case of absolute advantage, no prisoners will be taken. As long as you refuse to admit it, you will be fine.

Lu Bu stroked his beard and looked at Chen Deng, and said meaningfully: "You have many soldiers and fast horses, and you set fire to attack at night. How can Yuan Shu's people capture the prisoners? It's good if you can survive a few identifications. Yuan Long (

Chen Deng) is known for his quick thinking. He should know whose army the soldiers and horses wandering around Guangling are, right?"

"Uh... Guangling is mostly occupied by Yuan Shu. Could it be that in order to deal with Liu Bei and not want to honor the general's betrothal gift, he deliberately sent people to burn their own ships, killing Liu Bei with one stone and three birds with one stone, and regretting the marriage without food, and framed him

My uncle, there is actually no food on the ship?"

As soon as Chen Deng finished speaking, Chen Gui responded with an affirmative look, as if to say that my son had answered well.

"Yuan Shu burned his own ship? With Huainan's abundant manpower and material resources, as for using such despicable means, he spent so much time to frame Chen Yu? And it also cost my daughter's reputation?" Lu Buxu raised his eyes and asked continuously, his tone changed.

It's quite rude.

"Don't be upset, Marquis Wen. There are intrigues among the princes. What Yuan Long said is not impossible. We should be careful to verify it." Chen Gui first bowed carefully with him, and then tremblingly, he was helped by Chen Deng to sit back down.

"Yuan Long's concerns are indeed thorough, but not all of Yuan Shu's grain ships were destroyed. The remaining eight ships have been picked up by Zhang Liao. The grain on board is being unloaded at the dock at this time. So the inference that there is no grain on board..."

"This... can only prove that there is food on these ships. It is hard to say about the ships that sank in Surabaya. People should be sent to salvage and verify them."

Chen Deng insists on refusing to admit it. No matter how sharp Lu Bu's words are, he can find loopholes in them to defend himself. As long as the other party has no substantive evidence, it has nothing to do with the Chen family.

"Who did Yuan Long ask to salvage? I can't let my hungry soldiers go salvage in Surabaya? Besides, it rains a lot this summer and the autumn water is rising..."

Chen Gui saw that Lu Bu was aggressive today and that he was short of reasoning, so he stood up and interrupted, saying: "Marquis Wen, there is no need to say anything else. Today's argument is meaningless. Since there is a shortage of food in the general camp, my father and son should go home immediately. I think
