Chapter 219 A different son-in-law

After Lu Xuan and Cao Cao met, Lu Xuan took the initiative and said: "My father-in-law was betrayed by Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, and he also encountered a powerful enemy like Lu Bu, but he was still in high spirits. From this, it seems that it is not difficult for my father-in-law to destroy Lu Bu. In fact, I

If we don’t come to Yanzhou to help, it won’t be a big problem.”

Cao Cao smiled and said: "Now that my good son-in-law is here, I will be more confident. Come on, follow me into the city."

"The whole army enters the city."

Cao Cao looked at the army behind Lu Xuan and gave an order.

He pulled Lu Xuan forward, and Xun Yu arranged for people to receive Huang Zhong and others, who were responsible for settling Lu Xuan's army.

Cao Cao took Lu Xuan back to the Prefectural Mufu, and invited Xun Yu, Xi Zhicai, Xun You and Cheng Yu. He also called Cao Ang, Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Hong, Cao Ren and others. Civil and military generals gathered to greet Lu Xuan.

.

Cao Cao picked up the wine bottle and said with a smile: "Zhang Miao and Chen Gong betrayed me, and I was in dire straits. My virtuous son-in-law spared no effort to help me, and my kindness is profound. I dedicate this glass of wine to you."

"please!"

Cao Cao drank a glass of wine directly.

Lu Xuan retorted: "Father-in-law, you're welcome. You and I are one family, and we don't differentiate between each other."

Cao Cao smiled and nodded, observing Lu Xuan.

This time Lu Xuan came to Yanzhou to help, Cao Cao was grateful, but Cao Cao was wary, and even when Lu Xuan came, Cao Cao did not lower his guard.

What is Lu Xuan doing?

Could it be that you really wanted to help him resist Lu Bu unconditionally without asking for anything?

Cao Cao thought it was impossible.

As a prince, Lu Xuan cannot be so simple. This is definitely not Lu Xuan.

After Cao Cao made a toast, he tentatively said: "Xian Xun's army is invincible and invincible in Yangzhou. In my opinion, such a powerful army is only stronger than Lu Bu's elite. In this battle, we still need to rely on Xian Xun."

The army resisted Lu Bu and turned the tide."

Lu Xuan smiled and said: "My army is just a monkey in the mountains, just wandering around Yangzhou. It cannot compare with my father-in-law's Qingzhou soldiers. In terms of elites, the Qingzhou soldiers are the real elite. Me coming to my father-in-law's aid is just the icing on the cake and a side drum."

That’s all.”

Cao Cao raised his eyebrows.

This kid Lu Xuan is very cunning.

Lu Xuan wanted to help him, but it was definitely not help at any cost.

Cao Cao probed for a while and then looked at Xi Zhicai, Xun Yu and others. For a while, the civil and military officials stood up and toasted.

Lu Xuan drank with restraint. Even if there were many people toasting, he would only take a symbolic sip.

Xiahou Dun also came to toast.

He walked up to Lu Xuan, clasped his fists and said: "Lu Shijun, more than ten people have drunk the glass of wine in your hand, and most of them are still left. It's unseemly for a man to drink slowly and leisurely. I, Xiahou Dun, respect you."

One cup, I'll do it, you can do whatever you want."

He tilted his head and drank a glass of wine directly.

Xiahou Dun even turned the wine glass over to show that it was clean and not a drop of wine was left.

Then, Xiahou Dun looked at Lu Xuan.

Other people also looked over, their eyes falling on Lu Xuan, waiting to see Lu Xuan's response.

Lu Xuan picked up the wine bottle calmly, took a sip of wine, and then put the wine bottle down.

Xiahou Dun's face turned red instantly, his eyes were sharp, and he sighed: "It seems that Mr. Lu doesn't want to give me Xiahou Dun face, so he drinks very restrainedly."

Lu Xuan blinked his eyes with a puzzled look and said: "General Xiahou said you did it as I pleased. Why do you look dissatisfied when I did it as I pleased? Could it be that General Xiahou, a burly man, always talks the same thing?

Do you have the same idea?"

"me……"

Xiahou Dun was speechless for a moment.

Everyone could tell that those were Xiahou Dun's polite words, asking you, Lu Xuan, to drink heavily.

Lu Xuan pretended to be dumbfounded and came over.

Xiahou Dun has no way to deal with Lu Xuan. He can't say that he doesn't mean to let you do whatever you want, right?

Lu Xuan sighed and said: "Actually, I am also a good drinker, but Lu Bu is stationed in Puyang and can raid Juancheng at any time. At this time, drinking is open, and everyone is drunk. Who can resist Lu Bu's surprise attack?

I heard that General Xiahou is very strict in running the army. Now during the war, how can he still run the army when he drinks so freely during the war?"

Xiahou Dun's cheeks twitched.

Very helpless.

Everything Lu Xuan said makes sense, and there is nothing wrong with it. The key point is that you can't refute it.

Xiahou Dun could only eat Coptis chinensis dumbly, and said with cupped hands: "What Lu Shijun said made Xiahou Dun ashamed. No wonder Lu Shijun was a shepherd and guardian of the princes in Yangzhou at a young age, and Xiahou Dun admired him."

Lu Xuan waved his hand and said: "General Xiahou has given me the award. It's just a coincidence. It's not surprising. General Xiahou toasted just now. I can understand that it was because the general gave me face that he came to toast. Lu Xuan is here. Thank you general.

of importance."

Xiahou Dun twitched his brows.

Lu Xuan said both good and bad things, and he was speechless.

Xi Zhi just came back from Lujiang County and said that Lu Xuan was difficult to deal with, but Xiahou Dun didn't believe it. How could a young man of about twenty years old be difficult?

Now, Xiahou Dun saw it.

Xiahou Dun looked a little more wary, and he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty Lu, that's a great compliment."

He hurried back to his seat and sat down.

With the precedent of Xiahou Dun, other people who came to toast restrained themselves, and there was no large-scale toasting.

The atmosphere is becoming more and more harmonious.

Lu Xuan put down his wine glass. He looked at Cao Cao and couldn't help but sigh: "I came to help my father-in-law this time and brought nearly nine thousand elite troops. But my generals don't even have decent war horses."

"Well, although there are soldiers in the south, there are no pastures in the south, so it's hard to find a horse. This time, I hope to buy a batch of war horses from my father-in-law. It doesn't need too many, just two thousand war horses."

In the hall, everyone looked over.

Everyone's eyes widened.

Lu Xuan made the request.

As soon as he opened his mouth, there were two thousand war horses, which was really rude.

Cao Cao's cheeks twitched and he said, "Xian son-in-law, you have two thousand war horses as soon as you open your mouth. I don't have that many."

Lu Xuan looked doubtful and asked: "My father-in-law controls Yanzhou and it is located in the Central Plains. Doesn't he have so many war horses?"

Cao Cao said firmly: "No!"

Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then said: "If there are not two thousand, there must be seven or eight hundred war horses, right? I don't want too few, at least I can equip some cavalry."

Cao Cao felt a little blocked.

When he opened his mouth, there were two thousand war horses, and in a blink of an eye, it turned into seven or eight hundred war horses, and his horses were also elite.

This guy, do you think he runs a racecourse?

Cao Cao shook his head and said with a smile: "My dear son-in-law, I don't have seven or eight hundred war horses, because I am short of horses."

Lu Xuan raised his head, looked at Cao Cao, and said doubtfully: "The princes on my father-in-law's side are so powerful that they don't even have such a small number of war horses. No wonder Lu Bu, a mere fool, dares to covet Yanzhou."

Cao Cao tightened his grip on his beard and broke off one of his beards.

He frowned slightly.

This kid Lu Xuan is really shameless for fighting for war horses.

Cao Cao did not hesitate to give in. His expression immediately became solemn and he sighed: "Although I am the herdsman of Yanzhou, many places in Yanzhou are not under my control. Therefore, the number of war horses is really limited. In the future, when I have war horses,

I will sell you as much as your good son-in-law wants."

Lu Xuan asked: "Father-in-law, how many horses can you give me?"

Cao Cao thought about it for a while.

Lu Xuan went out of his way to come to help, saying that he wanted to buy a war horse, but he couldn't not give it at all, that would not be justified.

After all, people are here to help.

A smile appeared on Cao Cao's face and he said: "Three hundred horses, this is the limit. No matter how many horses I have, I can't squeeze them out."

Lu Xuan thought about it and sighed: "Three hundred horses are too few and of no use."

Cao Cao shrugged and said, "If the wise son-in-law thinks it's too little, then forget it."

Lu Xuan quickly waved his hand and said: "Father-in-law, I don't mind having too little. Three hundred horses is three hundred horses. It's better than nothing. But this time I came to Juancheng, I didn't even have food, let alone money."

"

"The money for the three hundred war horses will have to wait until I return to Lujiang County before I can give it to my father-in-law. Moreover, Lujiang is full of waste and is waiting to be revitalized. It is not easy. Maybe this money will have to be delayed for a while. Please forgive me, father-in-law."

Cao Cao's cheeks twitched when he heard this, feeling a little depressed.

At this moment, he deeply understood Xi Zhicai's original feelings. Lu Xuan was quite shameless.

The lion is the first to ask for a horse.

Then, he bargained with Cao Cao and defeated 300 war horses. Then, he said that he had no money for the time being, which actually meant that he would not give money. When Lu Xuan returns to Lujiang County with the war horses, will he still give money?

Lu Xuan has no intention of giving money.

This guy is very dark.

Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan and suddenly laughed. Perhaps this was the reason why Lu Xuan was able to gain a foothold at such a young age.

Not only must you be capable and courageous, but you must also be cunning and sinister.

No wonder Liu Biao was deceived.

The key point is that Lu Xuan is thick-skinned, he can tell it, and he has said it, so you don't give it to him. For example, now, Lu Xuan is brave enough to come to Cao Cao's aid, and he wants to buy 300 war horses, but you don't even give it to him.

The hearts of countless people?

Cao Cao flicked his sleeves and said: "My worthy son-in-law went through all the trouble to come to your aid. I am very grateful. Three hundred war horses are given to you."

Lu Xuan had a bright smile on his face, cupped his hands and said: "My father-in-law is worthy of being the lord of Yanzhou. He is magnificent and my son-in-law admires him. Please rest assured, father-in-law, my people have war horses and they will definitely attack Lu Bu fiercely. But this time we fight Lu Bu,

I also have some ideas, and I hope my father-in-law can agree."
