Chapter 261 Cao Lu cooperation
After hearing Liu Yao's words, Man Chong's heart jumped to 18, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. But he was a great strategist, so he quickly took back the surprise and said, "General, I don't understand what you mean. If you can't get the news from Lu Bu, how could my lord know?"
This man was unprepared for the secret in his heart. No matter who was determined, he could not be completely calm. Although Man Chong's surprised expression flashed just now, he still caught it very easily for Liu Yao's keen senselessness. He immediately sneered at the corner of his mouth, thinking, "Sure enough, Cao Cao really knew about Lu Bu's news."
Liu Yao sneered and said with a sigh, "I treated Meng De as a confidant, so I agreed to sell the war horse to Meng De at a low price. I didn't expect that he would not tell me the truth today, and I felt so heartbroken."
Liu Yao's meaning is also very clear. Either tell him the news about Lu Bu, so that Liu Yao will sell the war horse to Cao Cao. If he doesn't say it, everything about the previous matter is not discussed, it's that simple. This is a threat. As for how to choose, it depends on Man Chong.
Originally, if Lu Bu had only one person and the 30,000 Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry, it would not be worthy of his attention to Liu Yao, but now it is different. If these two people add up, it is not one plus one equals two, and it is completely chemically acting, so you have to be careful. Therefore, Liu Yao also needs to know Lu Bu's movements and know everything, so that he can be invincible.
After hearing Liu Yao's words, Man Chong's face turned dark. He naturally heard the threat in Liu Yao's words. But what surprised him even more was that Liu Yao seemed to be guiding Cao Cao and Lu Bu. He actually poked his key point in one go. But he could not make this matter happen, so he could only force himself to say aggrievedly, "General, where do you say this? I just know that Lu Bu betrayed Dong Zhuo. How could my lord know about the subsequent movements?"
Liu Yao looked at Man Chong coldly and said, "Since Boning doesn't want to say it, I won't force it. But it seems that our business is not achieved. But before that, I can give you a message for free, and then Lu Bu is in Zhongmu County now. Come and see the guests off!!" After that, Liu Yao stood up, turned around, and made a gesture to walk into the back hall. However, a subtle and treacherous smile was obviously shown on the corner of his mouth.
I had already made it so clear that I told him that Man Chong had already known the news about Lu Bu. If this was the case, he would still hide it from him. Then Liu Yao could only say nothing.
"Please wait, General!" As Liu Yao thought, Man Chong turned around and was about to leave as soon as he saw Liu Yao turn around, so he stood up quickly. Jian anxiously called Liu Yao.
A familiar curve appeared on the corner of Liu Yao's mouth, and he turned his body, looking at Man Chong curiously. He asked, "Is there anything else Bo Ning has to ask for? I have this Xu You government affairs in Youzhou. If there is nothing important, please." Especially, Liu Yao also added accents to the words important.
The mite trembled all over after hearing Liu Yao's words, and cold sweat flowed unconsciously. He never expected that Liu Yao already knew about Lu Bu's news. Then there was only one reason for it, that is, Liu Yao already knew that there was some cooperation between Cao Cao and Lu Bu.
And I don’t know how many times he had left cold sweats. He has discovered that this general is even more difficult to deal with than his lord Cao Cao. When he deals with him, he will be eaten by him by accident.
He was also anxious when he just called Liu Yao. Seeing that Liu Yao was leaving and buying a horse was about to be ruined, he rushed to call Liu Yao, but now he called Liu Yao, but now he stopped Liu Yao, he didn't know how to speak, and he fell into silence for a moment.
Seeing Man Chong's hesitation, Liu Yao decided to add another fire and said, "If Boning really knew this news and was willing to tell me, even if he was giving you two thousand more war horses, it wouldn't be a problem." Two thousand horses were really not a big deal for Liu Yao. If you give them, you would give them. It would be a drop in the bucket for Liu Yao, but it would be of great significance to Cao Cao, and at least it would allow him to add one thousand more cavalry.
"Two thousand horses!" Man Chong exclaimed after hearing this. One news was that there were two thousand horses. Liu Yao was really rich and powerful. The two thousand horses he had lost before came back like this.
"Forget it, just say it. Anyway, the lord probably is about to take down Yanzhou. Even if he tells the general, it's okay. Besides, the general and Yanzhou are still separated from Jizhou, so it's impossible to put his hands in Yanzhou. If you say it, just say it, it's not a big problem." After weighing the pros and cons, Man Chong decided to tell the matter out.
"Is what the general said true?" Man Chong asked with some uncertainty.
Liu Yao glared at Man Chong disdainfully and said coldly, "What I said by Liu Yao has never fulfilled. If Boning doesn't believe it, that's fine."
When Man Chong saw Liu Yao, he quickly clasped his fists and apologized, "I'm sorry, please ask the general to atone for his sins."
Then Liu Yao's color improved a little, and then he said, "Don't be satisfied with the general, but my lord knows that Lu Bu is already in Zhongmu County."
Liu Yao said in his heart, and asked sneeredly, "Why did Boning hide it from me before? If the people under my command had not learned the news early, I would have been deceived by Boning's acting skills."
"I'm also helpless to ask the general to atone for his sins. In fact, I'm helpless. My lord doesn't let others know the news, and I don't dare to make decisions without authorization." Man Chong said a little aggrievedly. As a subordinate, he naturally has to obey the orders of his lord.
"Forget it, it's okay. Since it was the ban order from Meng De, I wouldn't let you make things difficult for you. As for those ten thousand horses, I'll still sell them to you." Liu Yao said casually. Liu Yao still understood the principle of playing hard to get. These two thousand horses had already lifted Man Chong's mind, and he also realized that Man Chong had wanted to say it just now, and he was not afraid that Man Chong would escape.
Man Chong immediately cursed Liu Yao ashamed of being shameless in his heart. When he was about to say it, he was clearly embarrassed by this. But he really couldn't bear to let him give up two thousand horses.
So Man Chong could only shake his head helplessly, and smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's okay to tell the general."
"Then there is Lao Boning. I'm having a lot of effort in the middle of the night." Liu Yao said with a smile, thinking: Xiaoyao, it's fun to play with people. I can't play with Feng Xiao and Wen and the two big and small foxes, but it's not easy to win you down.
Man Chong nodded and said viciously, "Dissatisfied with the general, my lord has cooperated with Lu Bu. When my lord sent troops to attack Liu Dai, he would like to help my lord attack Liu Dai's rear, take down Liu Dai, a rebel, in one fell swoop, and make contributions to the court."
Liu Yao was stunned when he heard this. After a while, he reacted and shouted in surprise, "Did you say Meng De and Lu Bu cooperate?"
Liu Yao guessed that there was such a connection between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, but he never expected that these two guys would have a day of cooperation. I won’t talk about it now, Lu Bu and Cao Cao had already made enemies when they were in Luoyang. Moreover, when Cao Cao was chasing Dong Zhuo at night, he was ambushed by Lu Bu, and he almost lost his life. It was beyond Liu Yao’s expectations that two people who were irreconcilable to cooperate.
"Chen Gong!" Suddenly, these two words appeared in Liu Yao's mind and he thought to himself, "As it turns out, these two people are together, so they should not be underestimated."
