I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 552
Chapter 553 The Trial of the Reception Banquet
"Haha! Of course, this is pure brewed Xihai Shao! It's not the cheap ones outside!" Zhang Liao saw that Xiahou Dun and others' wine glasses were almost empty.

Immediately ordered the maid to come over and pour wine.

Xiahou Dun watched Cao Xiu swallow his saliva suddenly, and immediately shook his head and said, "Wen Lie, pay attention to your image! Don't ask General Zhang Liao to read the joke."

Cao Xiu immediately smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Liao laughed loudly and said, "Young man, it's understandable if you haven't had such a good wine before!"

"Drink less, you know?" Xiahou Dun whispered to Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu looked at the slow cup of Xihai Shao, nodded with great heartache and said, "Yes! Uncle..."

When Cao Xiu answered like this, Xiahou Dun put a smile on his face.

After all, Xihai burns this kind of fine wine, once you drink it, you can't stop it, there must be someone sober.

That's why Xiahou Dun dissuaded him.

Of course, Xiahou Dun also has his own selfishness.

"Come here, serve the food." Zhang Liao ignored the private conversation between Xiahou Dun and Cao Xiu, and ordered someone to serve the food.

After noticing Xiahou Dun's gaze, Zhang Liao said, "It's boring to drink without food, but it's really good to drink with cooking!"

What else could Xiahou Dun say?
Of course, both hands agreed.

At first Xiahou Dun felt the same way, but after all, this was the territory of the eldest son Cheng Zhang Liao, so he couldn't say anything.

After Zhang Liao brought out such a good wine, he couldn't ask if he could order something to go with the wine?

Xiahou Dun felt that his face was not so great.

Now that Zhang Liao mentioned it, Xiahou Dun was secretly delighted.

"But what is this fried dish?" Not only Xiahou Dun was curious, but even Cao Xiu and his tiger and leopard cavalry generals were also curious.

When they saw the stir-fried dishes being served, they were immediately attracted by the aroma in the air.

The aroma of stir-fried vegetables faintly covered the intoxicating aroma of Xihai Shaoxing that wafted in the air.

"This is delicious food! It's really good to go with wine!" Xiahou Dun swallowed sharply and chewed, not stopping even with the chopsticks and the wine glass.

Needless to say to Zhang Liao, most of the seven or eight dishes of stir-fried vegetables were eaten up soon!

I drank more than two bottles of Xihai Shao.

Seeing Xiahou Dun and the others like this, Zhang Liao smiled even more: "In fact, the most suitable weather is to eat hot pot, but I don't have hot pot here, but Junhou has it. It's a pity."

Xiahou Dun picked up a piece of beef, shook his head and said with a smile: "General Zhang Liao, you can treat us like this, I feel that the hospitality is hard to refuse, I am already satisfied, how dare you ask for anything else."

"Haha, you're welcome." Zhang Liao saw that he was almost finished eating, and asked while drinking a little wine, "I don't know what the reason for General Xiahou's visit to Bingzhou is?"

Xiahou Dun, who was happily eating stir-fried vegetables and drinking wine, immediately shivered.

Quickly chewed the meat in his mouth, took a sip of wine, Xiahou Dun said solemnly: "I am waiting to come here this time, because I want to contact General Lu Bu..."

Not to mention Xiahou Dun.

Even the tiger and leopard cavalry generals put down their chopsticks.

Cao Xiu didn't even say anything, his breathing became short of breath and he put down his glass again and again.

Seeing Xiahoudun's tone and behavior, Zhang Liao immediately shook his head and smiled, "Hey, General Xiahou, don't be so polite, come over for a drink and say that today we don't talk about business and we will chat in private."

"In fact, I have already reported your intention to come, and there will probably be news tonight or tomorrow."

"Okay..." Seeing Zhang Liao like this, Xiahou Dun felt a lot more relaxed, and looked at Cao Xiu and the others.

Cao Xiu and the others immediately nodded and continued to eat wine and vegetables without getting involved in Xiahou Dun's chat with Zhang Liao.

Xiahou Dun was not in a hurry when he saw Zhang Liao.

Thinking that Zhang Liao had notified Lu Bu from the very beginning, Xiahou Dun was very anxious for a while.

In Zhang Liao's words, from the beginning of asking questions, to now he said that he didn't talk about business.

The intention is already obvious, and it has been said that they basically know the things, but they don't know the details.

Follow up with a drink and a chat if you can.

But it's only for chatting, after all, he can't make decisions, the most important thing is to ask Lu Bu to nod.

Xiahou Dun had a few sips of wine and chatted with Zhang Liao for a long time before he found an opportunity to cut in and said: "Actually, we came here this time not only for Xihai Shao, but also for the Xiliang Dama sold by General Lu Bu... I heard that Yuan Shao I also obtained the Xiliang Dama through the channel of General Lu Bu, so I will come here later."

"Oh, that's right, there was indeed such an incident with Yuan Shao... I was still there at the time, not to mention that kid Xu You can really drink." Zhang Liao said, with an inexplicable smile on his face.

Zhang Liao didn't care about Xiahou Dun's routine.

In fact, he was also making clichés, and he made a lot of clichés during the chat.

Even Xiahoudun himself didn't hide anything, saying that he brought a lot of money just to buy Xihai roast and Xiliang Dama.

The tone was very pleading.

Seeing Zhang Liao mentioning Xu You made Xiahou Dun even more nervous: "The rumor that Xu You bought horses is true..."

Xiahoudun murmured, and then said to Zhang Liao: "Then I dare to ask General Zhang Liao, is the price of the Xiliang horse sold this time really as high as the rumors... a horse with thousands of guan, uh, doesn't mean it's not worth it. ...but still a bit too high."

Xiahou Dun probed very cautiously.

Zhang Liao smiled and shook his head and replied: "Hey, how can the rumors outside be taken seriously? If you really want thousands of horses, you will buy it? Then Yuan Shao and those buyers are not fools, right?"

Xiahou Dun smiled and nodded: "Yes, after all, buying a horse has to change hands, and there is always some profit to be made. You see, even I came here in private, isn't it just to make some money?"

Zhang Liao nodded and said with a smile: "Extremely true, the prosperity of the world is for the benefit, and the chaos of the world is for the benefit."

Xiahou Dun laughed, not embarrassed by being exposed.

"Then the price?" Xiahou Dun asked.

"If it's difficult, then General Zhang Liao just don't say anything!"

"I, Xiahoudun, will not embarrass the general."

Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a taboo. In fact, Xu You only took five hundred guan. It's just that some individual buyers will inflate the price."

"Haha, I understand." For these few, Xiahoudun had already understood, after all, the spies Cao Cao arranged on Yuan Shao's side were not vegetarians.

"If you have five hundred guan, you will make a profit."

Seeing Xiahou Dun pretending to be thinking, Zhang Liao didn't say anything, but smiled and drank instead.

After a meal, Zhang Liao had almost figured out the purpose of Xiahou Dun and the others, and it was considered a complete success.

As for Xiahou Dun, he also got first-hand news from Zhang Liao, and he was satisfied.

Cao Xiu, who was silent for a long time, finally couldn't help asking: "General Zhang Liao, I heard that each Xiliang horse is nearly two meters tall. I wonder if it is true?"
