"Yang Zong, I understand. You are not here to discuss peace talks at all, but to send a letter of challenge."

Yang Hong shook his head and said: "My lord clearly stated that Marquis Wen and him have never been enemies. Instead of being enemies, it is better to shake hands and make peace and fight Yuan Cao together."

Lu Bu wondered whether Cao Anmin's words could be believed.Excluding Xiapi and Guangling in Xuzhou, there are only three counties in Langya and Pengcheng in the East China Sea.These three counties concentrated most of Xuzhou's human, material and financial resources.If these two counties are lost, although the strength will be damaged, it will not be enough to shake the foundation.

"Your envoy will step back for a while, and make a decision after discussion with my monarch and ministers."

Yang Hong retreated, and all eyes were on Lu Bu.

"Gongtai, what do you mean?" Lu Bu was really exhausted and mentally exhausted, and he didn't have the prestige of the number one general in the world before Hulaoguan.

"Xiapi Guangling is already in the hands of Cao Anmin, why not give it to him as a favor. As Cao Anmin said, we have a common enemy. Now that Yuan Shao and Cao Cao are getting stronger, we need an ally to strengthen our strength."

Lu Bu was a little hesitant, and he was really reluctant to throw it away like this.

"My lord, the last general is willing to lead an army to a fight to the death with Cao Jun. You can't lose the xiapi!" Gao Shun walked out with his fists clasped, his eyes full of excitement.

"You're messing around, why don't you back down quickly!" Lu Bu frowned slightly, if it wasn't Gao Shun but his confidant general, I'm afraid the guards outside the palace would fight out immediately.

"General Gao, it's not that the lord doesn't want to fight, but we can't afford it anymore. The soldiers lost [-]% in the previous battles, and the food, grass and military equipment lost countless. If there is no peace negotiation, the collapse of Xuzhou city is imminent."

Gao Shun sighed, and could only sit down under the tugging of Zhang Liao and others.

"That's all, that's all, everything will be handled by the public platform. It is a good thing for us and the brothers below to be able to stop the troops as soon as possible."

Chen Gong agreed.

In the post house, there are three bowls, two cups, and a pot of good wine, although they are just commonplace, but in the city of Xuzhou, it is even more special to force people with force.

"Dong dong!"

There was a slight knock on the door, and Yang Hong put down the wine cup in his hand, stood up and came to the door.Opening the door, there was no one else outside, but Chen Gong, Chen Gongtai, the number one counselor under Lu Bu's command.

"Mr. Gongtai, why did you come here suddenly to see me?"

With a smile on his face, Chen Gong glanced at the table behind him and said, "I smelled the fragrance in Mr. Yang's room and just found it. Why, don't you invite me in for a sit down?"

Yang Hong pretended to be terrified, and quickly invited Chen Gong into the house.

The two sat facing each other, Chen Gong was not as serious as the one in the palace, and Yang Hong was not as famous as before. The two of them were like villagers in the countryside, chatting and laughing freely.

"Mr. Yang, is he still used to my Xuzhou food?"

"Being born out of nothing! According to my lord, the quality of the food is the performance of a city or a country's national strength."

"Oh? I don't know what General Huwei said?" Chen Gong's eyes lit up. How could he not know Cao Anmin's name, but all he knew was Cao Anmin who fought in the battlefield and governed the country, and it was rare to hear other news from above.

"My lord said that the stronger the country's national power, the better the people's lives will be, and there will be meat in every household; on the contrary, the weaker the national power, the harder it will be for the people to see meat."

Chen Gong's face showed embarrassment, the dishes on the table just now were full of side dishes, it seems that this guy Yang Hong took the opportunity to satirize Xuzhou's lack of military strength, so he couldn't even afford to eat.

"I didn't expect Cao Huwei to have such a big talk, I admire it."

"Since Mr. Gongtai admires my lord, why should he commit himself to Lu Bu because of his talent? Why not go back with me to serve General Huwei."

Chen Gong was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing in a blink of an eye, using laughter to resolve the embarrassment.

"Mr. Gongtai, since Starry Night came here, Marquis Wen must have made a decision. I don't know if it's war or peace?"

"Hey, our two families turned hostility into friendship, and ceased fighting." Chen Gong took out a roll of silk from his bosom and placed it in front of Yang Hong.

Yang Hong took a quick glance, nodded slightly and said, "So, your two families have been an alliance with each other since then."

"That's natural. General Wang Huwei still puts the overall situation first, and guards Xuzhou together with my family, Marquis Wen."

Yang Hong drank all the wine in his glass, put away his hippie smile on his face, straightened his clothes and said, "Since the two companies have formed an alliance, there is something wrong here! Mr. Gongtai, let's go to the study to discuss slowly. !how?"

Chen Gong nodded and said: "It should be so, I was negligent, Mr. Yang please."

"Please!" With a mysterious smile on Yang Hong's face, he strode forward with the roll of silk that Cao Anmin gave him in his sleeve.

Chapter 137

In the dead of night, Lu Bu wandered around the mansion aimlessly alone.

Although Bai Ri solved the conflict with Cao Anmin, he sacrificed the territories of the two counties after all.The resentment suppressed in my heart is difficult to dissipate for a while, and it is difficult to fall asleep in bed for a long time, so it is better to get up and move around to relax.

There was silence in the entire state pastoral mansion.In just a few years, this state shepherd's mansion has changed owners several times.First Tao Qian, then Liu Bei, and now him.I used to think that this yard is really not small and enough to live in, but after walking around, I feel that it is indeed a bit small, and I can't help but plan to expand it.

The east side of the State Shepherd's Mansion is the office. In the past, except for emergency military affairs, few lights were lit.

Unexpectedly, today, at this time, there are still lights inside.

"Who's in there?"

The guard standing guard at the side saw that it was Lu Bu, and hurriedly paid homage: "The military division and the envoy of Cao Jun are inside."

"Emissary of Cao Jun?" Lu Bu frowned slightly. At this critical juncture, Chen Gong actually had a private conversation with Yang Hong. Could it be that they were discussing some ulterior secret?Thinking of this, the pace under his feet also accelerated.In three or two steps, he walked to the door of the room.

It was quiet inside, with the sound of bamboo slips being flipped from time to time.The more nobody spoke, the more suspicious Lu Bu became.After waiting for a long time, Lu Bu could no longer bear the doubt in his heart, and opened the door violently.

Such a large range in the dark night shocked Chen Gong who was reading a book.Seeing that it was Lu Bu, he quickly got up to meet him.

"My lord, it's so late, why are you here?"

Lu Bu nodded, walked into the room and looked around, and saw that only Chen Gong said: "It's so late in the public platform, don't you have a rest, are you still reading here alone?"

"The palace is restless, so I can't sleep, my lord, please see!" He said and handed the alliance document drawn up with Yang Hong to Lu Bu.

"This is?" Lu Bu weighed the bamboo slips in his hand, a little confused.

"I went to see Yang Hong once before, and told him all the requirements of the lord. Just now, we drew up the regulations here. No, he just left. I have nothing to do, so I plan to read the book."

Lu Bu opened the bamboo slips, glanced at them, and nodded slightly. The regulations on them were not much different from what they had discussed before.

"Mr. Hardworking has planned for me."

A gratified smile appeared on Chen Gong's face, and he said hastily, "My lord, I'm overwhelmed. If I could detect Cao Anmin's actions in advance, I wouldn't lose Guangling and Xiapi counties."

Lu Bu looked disapproving, exchanged greetings for a while, and was about to leave when his eyes suddenly stopped on a piece of silk on the table. Through the corners, it was obvious that there were many words on the silk.

Is it...

"what is this?"

Seeing that Lu Bu's gaze was fixed on the silk on the table, Chen Gong quickly took the silk and spread it out to Lu Bu.

"I didn't understand it either. Yang Hong said that this was a letter written by Cao Anmin. But when I opened it, the drawings on it were in a mess. Maybe I made a mistake when I was in a hurry to fetch the manuscript before leaving."
