[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Lu Bu said, "Bu has been feeling very uneasy recently. If you want to ask why, you can't tell why."

He sighed again, "Thinking over and over again, the people around me are so simple and honest, and I can't find anyone to confide in, so I took the liberty to invite the two of you to come here, I hope you won't be offended."

After some courteous remarks, Lu Bu got to the point: "Bu still remembers... Cui Shizi, the first time you came to visit, you said to Bu: "You know, the general, that you are in danger?" I don't know if Cui Shizi still remember."

Of course Cui Song remembered.

At that time, he was ready to wait for an opportunity to instigate Lu Bu, so he was the first to catch people, and dropped a blockbuster as soon as they met, attracting Lu Bu's mind.Unexpectedly, Dong Zhuo's people acted first, which not only aroused Lu Bu's vigilance, but also hid in the dark and watched.

Fortunately, Cui Song found out what was wrong in time, changed his tone, gave Dong Zhuo countless flattery, and slipped away.

When he and Guo Jiati visited last time, Lu Bu didn't mention this at all. Cui Song thought that Lu Bu had forgotten, but he didn't expect to wait here.

Thinking about Lu Bu's move to invite them to drink today, Cui Song knew it well, imitating Lu Bu's sigh just now, and said sadly: "I remember."

Lu Bu hurriedly asked, "Why did Cui Shizi say that day?"

Cui Song held his sleeves together and said, "Here, we must confess our crimes to the general first."

"how do I say this?"

"That day, Song Ben came to the door with the intention of warning the general, but unexpectedly found the eyeliner of the grand master in the general's mansion. Song was worried that he would hurt the general because of his abruptness, so he gave up his original plan and said goodbye in a hurry."

Lu Bu also remembered that when Cui Song visited that day, Xi Huan, Dong Zhuo's most important counselor, was hiding behind the screen, and his frowning eyebrows relaxed a little:

"It's not your fault. However, you were able to discover the abnormality at that time, which is not a small skill."

"The general praises you."

"That day, what exactly do you want to warn me about?"

Cui Song made a hesitant look, and then, under Lv Bu's persistent gaze, took out a silk book: "Please have a look at it, General."

Lu Bu took the silk book and looked at it, his expression changed drastically.

"How do you have this thing?!"

"To tell the truth. When I entered the city, I had a dispute with Captain Hu Fu, the brother of General Hu Zhen. Later, I heard that Captain Hu was very vengeful. I paid more attention to the situation in the Hu Mansion, but I didn't expect to find this letter."

Lu Bu remained silent.

"As soon as I found this thing, I was in a hurry to find the general. Unexpectedly..."

Lu Bu waved his hand: "No need to say more, thanks to your vigilance, otherwise..."

Otherwise, if Dong Zhuo's people found this silk book, not only Hu Zhen and Li Ru, but also Lu Bu and Cui Song, who sent the silk book, would not be able to please them.

It turned out that this silk book was written by Hu Fu and the recipient was Hu Zhen. It not only recorded his bribery of Li Ru, but also Dong Zhuo's inhumane secrets and vices.

Thinking that Hu Zhen used this evil habit to curry favor with Dong Zhuo and get Dong Zhuo's connivance, Lu Bu felt so sick that he wanted to vomit.

In addition to the bribery mentioned above, what else does Lu Bu not understand?

He had long since discovered that Li Ru was always covering up for Hu Zhen intentionally or unintentionally. Before confronting Dong Zhuo, Li Ru also said that he was doing it for Dong Zhuo's great cause and had no selfish motives.Today, Li Ru came to the mansion to plead guilty to him, saying that he was "deceived by others" and that he offended Lu Bu... Now, it seems that Li Ru was not deceived by others. Get up and trip him up!

It's all right now, somehow Li Ru broke up with Hu Zhen and Dong Zhuo, so he came to curry favor with Lu Bu, trying to confuse him with rhetoric, thinking that Lu Bu is a fool?

Lu Bu was very annoyed, and when he thought that he was almost fooled by Li Ru before and conspired with him, he was even more resentful.

Under the ups and downs of his mood, Lu Bu couldn't help being a little closer to Cui and Guo.

In his opinion, Cui Song revealed this matter to him, which is not beneficial to Cui Song at all, but took a great risk.Coupled with the previous ceremony of mentioning the pheasant, Lu Bu believed that Cui Song's intention to make friends with him was sincere, and Cui Song's previous praise of Dong Zhuo was just a joke.So Lu Bu relayed what Li Ru had told him without covering the beginning and the end, and concealed Li Ru's name, saying only that it was a friend's suggestion.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bu went to see Cui Song and Guo Jia's reactions.

Seeing that the two had different reactions, Lu Bu said agitatedly, "What's wrong?"

In Lu Bu's eyes, Cui Song was originally a straightforward person, but for some reason he hesitated at this moment: "This friend of the general...is he a close friend of the grand master?"

Lu Bu's expression changed slightly: "Yes, what about it? No, what about it?"

Cui Song hesitated to speak, as if what he wanted to say was very difficult to say.

Guo Jia, who hadn't spoken for a long time, said: "Don't blame the general, Cui Shizi is a gentleman, and a gentleman is not close to each other. If you speak out about the inappropriateness, you will be suspected of sowing discord."

Is there really something wrong with this?Both scholars saw something was wrong?

Lu Bu hurriedly asked Guo Jia: "Since Cui Shizi has doubts, can I ask Guo Shizi to tell you frankly—what's wrong with this?"

Guo Jia also showed a look of hesitation.

Lu Bu was really scared to death by these two people: "It's okay! It's okay to speak up if you have anything to say. I know the character of the two of you, and I will never doubt your intentions. Bu is willing to treat you with sincerity. Be honest."

Guo Jia was sitting: "Since this is the case, I would like to ask the general to forgive me for making a bold statement - is this friend of the general believable?"

Lu Bu's heart sank: "What does this mean?"

Cui Song sighed: "This friend of the general, there is something wrong with the proposal to the general, so I have doubts..."

Without waiting for Lu Bu's response, Guo Jia said, "Exactly. The biggest problem with this is that it's 'putting out fires from afar', and the other is that it pushes the general to the cusp of the storm. Just imagine, attracting foreign aid from the Kanto side will grow taller than water." The army in the east of the Kwantung, who is the general planning to form an alliance with? The one to the west of the river is Dong Zhuo’s general, how can he easily betray? If Dong Zhuo is informed, will everything be closed? The rebel army on the east of the river Assemble, everyone has different ideas, and you have nothing to do with the general. If you unite with them, the general will not be afraid of repeating the mistakes of He Jin and Dong Zhuo? If it is not for the above two, then Yu Baibo and the Xiongnu will even seek skins from tigers, and the danger will be infinite."

Cui Song continued: "The general has a lot of troops in his hands. If the general really wants to find another way out, there is no need to go far away... I don't know if this proposal is from the general's friend, or the grand master's intention?"

Lu Bu was shocked, recalling what Xi Zhicai had said to him, he felt that Cui Song's guess was not impossible.

Xi Zhicai attributed Dong Zhuo's throwing of the halberd to his temptation.Recently, although Li Ru was treated coldly by Dong Zhuo and forced Li Ru to come to him to form an alliance, no one can guarantee that this is not a scene played by Li Ru and Dong Zhuo together, in order to test Lu Bu's loyalty .

At this moment, Lu Bu regretted that he had let Li Ru go, and was glad that he did not reveal too many thoughts in front of Li Ru.

But after thinking about it, he felt a little uneasy again: "Although Bu didn't accept that person's proposal, he never refused. If that person really tempted me for the sake of the grand master...then..."

If this was really Dong Zhuo's trick to test him, even if he didn't agree to the rebellion, just "hesitating" would be enough to make Dong Zhuo hate and suspect.

"Don't worry, General." Guo Jia got up and walked to Lu Bu's head, whispering in a low voice.

Lu Bu listened carefully to Guo Jia's proposal and nodded from time to time.
