[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Seeing Xun Yu, Cui Song showed a happy expression.

The two greeted each other and greeted each other. Finally, Cui Song knew Cao Cao's current embarrassment. Seeing Xun Yu's brows showing tiredness, he asked with concern, "Wen Ruo hasn't had a good rest yet?"

Xun Yu said frankly: "My lord is in a hurry, so I can't be at ease."

Cui Song knew Cao Cao's current distress, so he didn't want to say much, and asked, "Why don't you see Gongda and Zhicai?"

"A few days ago, the official sent a letter, saying that it was delayed on the road, and it will take about seven or eight days to enter the city."

Hearing this, Cui Song was startled suddenly: "Could it be that Zhicai's old illness has relapsed?"

Seeing that he was impatient, Xun Yu hurriedly explained in a slow voice, "That's not the case, Zi Cong, let's see."

Then he took out the ruler book from his arms and handed it to Cui Song for a look.

Cui Song read the ruler book and confirmed that Xun You and Xi Zhicai were delayed because of other things, so he was relieved.

I also heard Xun Yu mentioning various events in the city: Chen Gong had a quarrel with Cao Cao, took advantage of him to send troops to conquer Tao Qian, joined forces with Chenliu prefect Zhang Miao and others to rebel, and welcomed Lv Bu into Yanzhou to serve as head of affairs.The prefects of various counties in Yanzhou rebelled against Cao one after another. For a while, Cao Ying was besieged by the enemy and fell into a precarious situation.

"Now that Lu Bu has taken Yanzhou, he will dispatch troops to besiege the three cities before the lord returns with his army."

Xun Yu made it clear that although he was confident in persuading Lu Bu to retreat temporarily, he was unable to do so.He was appointed by Cao Cao as the guardian of Juancheng, and he must not leave lightly.What's more, the distance between this place and Lu Bu's place is quite far, and it will take several days to go back and forth.If you go to negotiate in person, the affairs in the city will inevitably be delayed, and once the chief officer guarding the city leaves the city, there may be someone waiting for the opportunity to attack and plot rebellion; If one point is grasped, only three points are left.

Cui Song knew the elegant meaning after hearing the string songs, and said with a smile: "What's the difficulty? I happen to have some friendship with General Nalu, and this is what happened to Wen Ruo."

Xun Yu stood up and bowed, and was supported by Cui Song:

"What is Wen Ruo doing? I haven't seen you for a few years. Could it be that he and I have a relationship?"

Xun Yu said solemnly, "It's not for Yu himself, but for me, Mr. Cao, to thank you for the people of these three cities."

Things changed later, and Cui Song immediately went to Lu Bu's camp to hand over a book to pay homage.

He did not use the title of "Juancheng Laishi", but called himself "an old friend and old friend".

As soon as Lu Bu heard the soldier's report: a person who claimed to be his old friend came to visit, he was slightly suspicious, then looked at the famous assassin, and saw that it was Cui Song, he was overjoyed, and asked his own soldiers to lead him into the main tent, and stood up to greet him.

When he saw Cui Song, he asked his soldiers to fetch a few altars of fine wine and drink Cui Song to sit down.

"The last time we parted, thanks to Zi Cong's advice, otherwise I would have died in the illusion of peace of mind like Wang Yun."

Speaking of Wang Yun, Lu Bu couldn't help but sigh.To be honest, Wang Yun is really good to him, he will not block his Qingyun road in the name of trust like Ding Yuan, and he will not beat and insult people's dignity like Dong Zhuo is moody.No matter if it was a high-ranking official, a rich salary, a title of beauty, or a golden and jade horse, Wang Yun would offer them without blinking an eye, which was quite generous to him.

It's a pity that although Wang Yun has the ability to govern the people, he really lacks sensitivity in other aspects, so that Dong Zhuo's remnants easily broke through the city and died in Jiuquan.

Accompanying him, Cui Song lamented Wang Yun's life in drama, never mentioning his reason for coming.

In the end, Lu Bu couldn't hold back the first, and asked Cui Song, "Why is Zi Cong here today?"

Cui Song smiled lightly and said, "I was going to go south, and I happened to pass by this place. I heard that the general is here, so I have the audacity to come here."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "It's hard for Zi Cong to have such a heart... but I don't know why Zi Cong went to the south. If there is anyone I can help, just ask."

Inside the words, it was revealed that he wanted to solve difficult problems for Cui Song, and the hint he left behind was obviously intended to solicit.

Cui Songdao: "I came to Juancheng yesterday, thinking that the people here are simple and suitable for settlement, but I never expected that the residents in the city would look panicked and withered. After a little inquiry, it turns out that Juancheng has not been peaceful these few days, maybe There will be war...Song dare not stay for long, and wants to go to the south to avoid disaster."

Lu Bu clapped his palms and laughed: "What am I supposed to do—Zicong don't have to worry, when I take down Juancheng, you can live in Juancheng for as long as you want."

Cui Song pretended to be surprised: "I heard that it was the Lord of Yanzhou who wanted to attack Juancheng...it was the general."

Then I congratulated Lu Bu.

Lu Bu happily accepted it, and was waiting for Cui Song to join him, but Cui Song frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed.

Lu Bu's joy was instantly wiped out: "Why are you sighing so well?"

Cui Songdao: "Even if the general takes down Juancheng, I still want to go south."

Lu Bu couldn't figure it out: "Why?"

"This Juancheng is now the seat of Cao Mengde (Cao Cao)." Cui Song looked directly at Lu Bu, allowing him to clearly see the worry in his eyes, "Does the general know that this Cao Mengde is the son of Yuan Benchu ​​(Yuan Shao), the prefect of Bohai? Great camaraderie."

Lu Bu couldn't understand Cui Song's intention even more: "So what?"

But it's just a bit of friendship. Could it be that Yuan Shao will vent his anger on Cao Cao because of his defeat?These days, the emperor is on the decline, and the heroes are competing for the throne. Everyone lives for their own interests. Would they still abandon their own interests for the sake of childhood friendship?

Cui Song replied: "Cao Mengde is an eunuch and ugly. Because of this birth, he has always been despised by famous gentry. Why do you praise Cao Mengde repeatedly when you are Yuan Benchu? Because of this kind of friendship, Yuan Benchu ​​(Yuan Shao) is naturally willing to be Cao Mengde (Cao Cao). Provide assistance——Yuan Benchu ​​was busy fighting on the northern front and expanding his power to the north, so he didn't care about the south. Cao Mengde occupied Yanzhou, and he is helping him..."

Speaking of this, Cui Song deliberately paused for a moment, and seeing Lu Bu listened to him, he frowned, and then continued: "Now that Cao Mengde has lost Yanzhou, Yuan Benchu's back is open. Fortunately, the three cities of Fan, Ah, and Juan are still there. As far as Cao Mengde is concerned, although his muscles and bones are injured, he can still breathe in the end. Yuan Benchu ​​was busy with the war in Jizhou and had no time to look south, so he ignored the affairs here. But if the general captured the three cities of Fan, A and Juan , that would be very different. Cao Mengde lost all his government offices and had nowhere to go, so he would definitely lead his remnant soldiers to Yuan Benchu. And Yuan Benchu ​​got the full help of Qingzhou soldiers, and it is very likely that the war will be quelled quickly—if he knows Cao Ying’s How can you not be angry when all the land has been taken away by the general? Until then, I am afraid that there will be another war."

Lu Bu said anxiously: "This is different from what Chen Gongtai (Chen Gong) said!"

Cui Song shook his head: "Chen Gongtai was originally Cao Mengde's staff, and he has no old friendship with the general. He took the risk to welcome the general into the city, and I'm afraid he hated Cao Mengde to the core. If so, he will definitely persuade the general to go further and occupy the remaining three cities. Cao Mengde must not stand up."

He paused, stood up and cupped his hands: "I forgot that Chen Gongtai is now under the command of the general—as the saying goes, he is arrogant and talkative. I will leave now, and I hope the general will forgive me for my incompetence."

After speaking, he turned around and left.

Startled, Lu Bu quickly got up to stop him.
