I am the God of War Lu Bu

Chapter 696 Retreat as Advance, Stalemate, Lu Bu Xuyou's Chance ([-])

Chapter 697 Retreat as Advance, Stalemate, Lu Bu Xuyou's Chance ([-])

Seeing Xu You's happy face, Lu Bu immediately said again: "At least next month, the output can be increased by more than [-]%, and the cost has dropped. I think the price can be reduced appropriately. What do you think?"

Hearing that the cost has dropped, the output has increased by [-]%!This almost made Xu You cry out in shock.

But when Lu Bu said that the cost dropped, he was scared to death when he wanted to cut the price.

Xu You immediately shook his head to dissuade him; "Your Majesty! It's meaningless! Although my purchase price is a bit high now, it's still very profitable..."

"Prices can't go down!"

"Your Majesty, think about it, those people are the only ones who can afford Xihai Shaojiu. It doesn't matter to them whether the price is low or not. It's harmful to us if it goes down."

Seeing Xu You like this, Lu Bu had to say that Xu You really had a dark heart.

Of course, Lu Bu had his own reasons for lowering the price.

For the current Xihai Shao, the shipments of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's camps have faintly reached a peak, and Lu Bu estimates that no matter how high it is, it will not be much higher.

After all, there are only so many people who can afford Xihai Shaojiu, and they are all high-level figures such as wealthy families, generals, merchants, and even the price of Xihai Shaojiu that has been mixed with water is outrageous.

For ordinary people, it is not bad to have a few mouthfuls throughout the year.

So if Lu Bu wants to expand production, he must lower the price, so that he can earn more than before with the increase in shipments.

After some conversation, Lu Bu was also moved by Xu You.

Xu You said that no matter how much Xihai Shao in Lu Bu's hands, he would eat as much as he could.

Of course Lu Bu would not burn Xihai to Xu You.

After promising to give more, Lu Bu shifted the topic to Sun Wu.

Lu Bu frowned and said, "Actually, I really want to do some business with Sun Quan and Liu Biao, but it's not easy to do business with Cao Cao standing in the way."

Xu You nodded and said, "That's really hard to do. After all, they don't border Junhou. It's okay for a small caravan to come, but Cao Cao himself probably won't let things pass on for a big deal."

Xu You knew that when Lu Bu mentioned Liu Biao and Sun Quan in Jingzhou, he wanted him to help.

But what can Xu You do? He can affect Yuan Shao's territory, but Liu Biao and Sun Quan, who are closest to Cao Cao, can't.

Lu Bu sighed, "I can still contact Liu Biao in Jingzhou, but Sun Quan..."

Lu Bu was indeed a little distressed. Although he could contact Liu Biao because he occupied Chang'an and Hanoi was also his place, Sun Quan was beyond his reach.

He didn't even get in touch with Liu Bei.

The two looked at each other and said helplessly, "I still need a knife."

Yes.

Whether it's Lu Bu or Xu You, they all hope that there will be a knife, an ordinary knife that can break the current predicament.

For Lu Bu, the current situation has no effect on him, but Lu Bu's plan to suck blood from various places can only stay on Yuan Shao and Cao Cao.

Although Liu Biao was able to border him, but limited by the terrain, it would not be possible to form a trade route without passing through Cao Cao's side, unless Cao Cao could cede Hongnong County to him.

But that's simply not realistic.

So at most he would attract one more Hanzhong Zhang Lu and one Liu Zhang.

Zhang Lu has not completely reached an agreement yet, and it is estimated that there will be a long delay on Liu Zhang's side.

This made Lu Bu a little dissatisfied. If he hadn't formulated a development strategy long ago, he probably wanted to do something to Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu.

Xu You also confessed to him that if he really can't find a chance to find this knife, then he can only admit that he is unlucky and cut his own flesh.

Lu Bu discussed many things with Xu You.

Xu You returned to his residence under the escort of Lu Bu's personal soldiers.

……

Seven days had passed since the meeting between Xu You and Lu Bu, but Lu Bu, Xu You, and even Xiahou Dun thought it was over.

Mi Fang, representing Liu Bei, came to visit.

After hearing that it was Mi Fang under Liu Bei, Lu Bu was very surprised: "Liu Bei's man? Mi Fang? Why did he come to Jinyang? How did this guy come to Jinyang through Cao Cao's interception net?"

Chen Gong was also very surprised and sent someone to inquire.

It turns out that Mi Fang came to Jinyang following Yuan Shao's footsteps.

When Lu Bu saw this, he immediately regained his energy, and couldn't help laughing: "I was still complaining about the lack of knives, but now there are knives!"

The arrival of Mi Fang, in Lu Bu's opinion, this is a good knife!
Mi Fang's knife can undoubtedly separate Cao Cao's defense and force Cao Cao to make more concessions. Then he, Lu Bu, can influence Liu Biao and Sun Quan.

Thinking of Mi Fang's knife, Lu Bu didn't call him immediately, but asked him to join Xu You.

Lu Bu believed that Xu You would also grasp this knife.

After all, their interests are bound together, and Lu Bu doesn't think Xu You will let Mi Fang's knife go.

……

As expected, after learning of Mi Fang's arrival, Xu You, who had given up on making a knife to cut himself, immediately jumped up excitedly: "Mi Fang? That's great!"

"Quick! Send someone to contact Mi Fang! Let him come to my house for a gathering!"

Soon Mi Fang received an invitation from Xu You.

Faced with Xu You's invitation, of course Mi Fang would not refuse, she went to meet Xu You respectfully and explained her intention for coming.

Xu You looked at Mi Fang who was a little nervous, and said with a smile, "That means you are here to buy war horses?"

Mi Fang nodded and said: "Yes, Master Xu You, my lord has already discussed with Yuan Gong, and I just came to buy ordinary war horses. Of course, it would be great if I could buy Xiliang horses."

Mi Fang even revealed some truth about the deal with Liu Bei and Yuan Shao.

Hearing Mi Fang like this, Xu You almost laughed happily, but he said with a sad face: "Ordinary war horses are still talking, but Xiliang big horses are difficult!"

Mi Fang also said helplessly: "Of course I know, but I just want to try."

Xu You nodded and said, "Have you contacted General Lu Bu yet?"

Mi Fang sighed: "No, isn't this the first time I came to visit you, Master Xu You?"

There was a smile on Xu You's face, he didn't know that Lu Bu did it deliberately, just to give him a chance.

If Lu Bu is like this, Xu You will of course reciprocate and help Lu Bu open a hole in Cao Cao so that Lu Bu can communicate with Sun Quan and Liu Biao unimpeded.

As one of the agents of Xihai Shao, Xu You certainly knew that after Cao Cao got Xihai Shao and many good things, he sold them to Sun Quan and Liu Biao, which made Xu You's mouth water.

But if he can open a hole in Cao Cao, then Xu You will get a commission without doing anything, why not do it?
'But why did Liu Bei buy the war horse?I won't be thinking about anything. 'Xu You was a little worried, so he asked.

This was a serious question, and when he learned that Liu Bei wanted to attack Gongsun Du of Donglai County, Xu You had a wonderful expression on his face.
