Chapter 568 The Dark War Front

As Chen Gong and Xu You walked away with a burst of haha, how could Xia Houdun not understand what happened at this moment.

"Oh, it's still unavoidable."

Even if you are prepared in advance.

But Xiahou Dun couldn't help sighing when he looked at the three hundred Xiliang horses in the racecourse.

"Before, I just prepared money... Now it seems that food is very important." Xiahou Dun's breathing became tense, and he found that this trip was still quite a mistake.

It turned out that Lu Bu's transaction with Xiliang Dama was not all done with money.

Instead, most of them are grains, grasses, chestnuts, rice, wheat beans, etc. After Xiahou Dun calculated silently in his heart, he found that the calculation was still based on two hundred yuan per stone.

"Two hundred dollars a stone...this." Xiahou Dun couldn't help frowning. He was good at farming and managing the rear, and he immediately knew that whether it was Yuan Shao or the others, they were at a relatively disadvantaged price.

It can't be said that I suffered a big loss.

After all, grain at two hundred yuan per stone is very common in some areas, like Xiahou Dun in Sichuan and Shu, who heard in the past that it was only more than 100 yuan in many places.

It's only less than two hundred dollars in Hanzhong.

The same is true in Jingzhou, not to mention Jiangdong on Sun Ce's side. The price is much lower than Yuan Shao's Jizhou Qingzhou and Cao Cao's Yanzhou Yuzhou.

Even if the war has not started at this time, their food prices will be more than [-] yuan.

"It's better to lose a little, but I'm afraid you won't lose." But the price of two hundred yuan made Xiahou Dun feel at ease, after all, a small loss is a profit.

Xiahoudun wasn't sure if he could negotiate a price of two hundred dollars a stone, since he didn't even have the qualifications to buy a war horse.

"Oh, Gongtai is really hard work. When will the 50 dan of grain and grass be counted? We are still waiting to mobilize Xiliang horses from all over the place." When Xiahou Dun lowered his head to think, Lu Bu seemed to be complaining , which caught Xiahou Dun's attention.

"Is there any trouble for General Lu Bu? Why don't you come out and see if Xiahou can help you." Xiahou Dun smiled and licked his face.

"Oh? You have a solution?" Lu Bu pretended not to say what he said just now, showing a sighing expression: "Oh, I just think that Gongtai has been working too hard recently. He has to take care of the Xiliang Dama transaction, and the transfer of money and food. He also needs to take care of it, I guess he won't have much time to clean up this month."

"What a good way to do this!" Xiahou Dun swallowed sharply, looked at Xu You and whispered, "General Lu Bu, I think this Xu You...not treacherous or anything, but he is definitely a smart man."

"You mean, he will be short of money during the transaction?" Lu Bu frowned.

Xiahou Dun immediately shook his head and said, "That's not true, he is a smart person, but he is worried that Mr. Chen Gong's overwork will sometimes affect his judgment..."

After Xiahou Dun finished speaking, he saw Lu Bu's scrutinizing eyes, which made Xiahou Dun panic with fright.

He thought that Lu Bu had seen through his provocation, and he was in a cold sweat for a while, just as he was about to explain.

Lu Bu said, "I don't know how you can do arithmetic, General Xiahou?"

"Arithmetic? I know how to do arithmetic." Xiahou Dun nodded dimly. After all, as Cao Cao's Jianwu general and the prefect of Jiyin County, he knew how to build ponds to irrigate farmland, and of course he knew how to train troops and do arithmetic.

Otherwise, you can sit in town and not be behind.

Hearing what Xiahou Dun said, Lu Bu laughed happily and said, "Okay, then, would General Xiahou be willing to go and assist Chen Gong in coordinating the calculation of money and food? If so, I'll make the decision and trade the remaining horses in the racecourse to you and others." .”

"This!" Xiahou Dun opened his eyes suddenly, and the huge surprise almost made Xiahou Dun dizzy.

Lu Bu said even more self-consciously: "If you can satisfy Chen Gong and agree, maybe you can trade more war horses."

"General Lu Bu! Don't talk about anything else! I am willing! Being able to serve Lord Chen Gong as an assistant is a blessing that I, Xiahou Dun, have cultivated in eight lifetimes!" Xiahou Dun immediately patted his chest and promised that Xu You would not miss a single grain.

If it wasn't for Lu Bu's dissuasion, I'm afraid Xiahou Dun would of course issue a military order.

"Haha, happy."

"Then you follow up quickly and explain to Chen Gong. If he asks you, just say this is my order." Lu Bu looked at the excited Xiahou Dun and said.

"Understood!" With Lu Bu's approval, Xiahou Dun hurriedly ran towards Chen Gong and Xu You's direction: "Chen Gong and Xu You! Wait for me!"

Seeing Xiahou Dun who ran away, Chen Gong and Xu You who were a little surprised, Lu Bu waved to Chen Gong immediately.

Chen Gong looked at Xiahoudun, and immediately understood what was happening, and immediately said to Xu You next to him, "Brother Xu You, it seems that I have a helper."

"Of course it's the best." Xu You nodded and smiled, but he was already cursing Xiahou Dun in his heart.

But he could only smile apologetically, so what if he was unhappy?

I can only endure it.

Seeing the three of them gathered together, Lu Bu couldn't help showing a smile on his face: "It's good to have found a coolie for Chen Gong."

With Xiahou Dun here, Xu You probably will feel uncomfortable.

At this time, Ma Chao and Cao Xiu had already run several laps.After the raid, let the horse trot all the way to Lu Bu's side.

Seeing Xiahou Dun and Chen Gong Xu You over there, Ma Chao seemed to be talking about something.

This surprised Ma Chao and said, "My lord, why did General Xiahoudun mix with Chen Gong and Xu You?"

"Uncle?" Cao Xiu was also a little surprised and couldn't figure it out.

"Hey, who knows." As he spoke, Lu Bu looked at Dong Zhao who was silent beside him, and Dong Zhao also smiled immediately.

"My lord, do you want to come up and have a try?" Ma Chao nodded, but he didn't pay attention to the casual question, but wanted Lu Bu to come to practice horseback riding.

"I'll forget it. I still have some things to deal with. You can eat after a few laps."

Although Cao Xiu was very puzzled, he didn't dare to interrupt abruptly, but looked at Lu Bu curiously.

Taking a closer look, Cao Xiu couldn't help but gasp, because Lu Bu's height is 1.9 meters [-], which is nearly two meters. Even if they were riding a Xiliang horse that was nearly two meters tall, they didn't look very tall in front of Lu Bu.

It was as if Lu Bu could pull them down as soon as he stretched out his hand.

Cao Xiu thought of Lv Bu's materials, which show that Lv Bu used to use Fang Tian's halberds. It is said that Fang Tian's halberds are about [-] meters long. Cao Xiuying thought it was very long at first.

But I heard from Ma Chao that Lu Bu's Fang Tian painted halberd was indeed [-] meters long, but after Lu Bu got used to it, he forged it and added an extra meter.

"Holding Fang Tian's painted halberd that is almost five meters long, I can't imagine what it would be like for Lu Bu to ride a red rabbit horse that is more than two meters tall." Cao Xiu thought, with an expression of admiration in his eyes.

If he didn't believe that Lu Bu could take the head of an enemy general among thousands of barbarian troops of different races before, but at this moment, Cao Xiu believed it.
