Three Kingdoms: Lu Bu’s brother-in-law, he cheated Cao Cao at the beginning

Chapter 131 There is no permanent covenant among princes

Inspector of Shouchun, this is the biggest official in Shouchun City!
Usually, even Lu Su, Chen Qun, Jia Xu and others have to be restrained by Xu You!

"Lord, isn't this too... big?" Xu You's face was full of joy, and his heart felt like a huge wave was rolling up. "How can I accept such a reward with such little talent?"

"30 stones of grain and grass, this is not a small amount!" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, showing a faint smile, "With Ziyuan's achievements, it is enough to award the governor of Shouchun! I also ask Ziyuan not to refuse. Don't let the soldiers and civilians of Shouchun City down!"

"My lord is so loving, I am so grateful!" Xu You cupped his fists and bowed deeply, "My lord, you are the most wise and powerful monarch in the world. I, Xu You, am lucky to be able to follow you in my next life!"

"Ziyuan, what does Yuan Shao intend to do now?" Lu Bu smiled lightly, "Now Yuan Shao is the biggest prince in the world. Although he will be defeated sooner or later, with his current strength, I can't help worrying! If he goes south to attack To attack Xuzhou, I can only resist with all my strength, even if I can resist the attack, I will be seriously injured!"

"Don't worry, my lord!" Xu You pinched the goat's beard lightly and showed a proud smile, "As long as I am here, I will never let Yuan Shao become an enemy of the lord! Even if I sacrifice my life for it, I will never regret it!"

"I feel relieved to have Ziyuan's words!" Lu Bu laughed heartily several times, "Ziyuan, how many days will you stay in Shouchun this time?"

"Ah?" Xu You was stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth twitched, "My lord, I am also ordered by Yuan Shao to come here this time, and I hope to join forces with you, my lord! 30 stones of grain and grass are also for my lord's words! The oath of not going to the Northern Expedition!"

[Oh, so it's not all due to your Xu You!It turned out that that guy Yuan Shao wanted to make all the preparations!Aren't you afraid that Lu Bu will send his troops northward while he is attacking Gongsun Zan? 】

[Even if Yuan Shao doesn't need 30 stones of food and grass to buy him off, Lu Bu can't go north!When Lu Bu goes north, he will not only make enemies of Yuan Shao, but he will also be attacked by Sun Ce and Cao Cao! 】

[Hurry up and agree, so that Xu You can be put into more important use by Yuan Shao. Xu You is a spy. The more important he is in Yuan Shao's camp, the more useful he will be to you! 】

[Of course, there is no need to worry that Xu You will rebel against you because of interests, because Xu You knows better than anyone in his heart that Yuan Shao is not a wise master!Follow Yuan Shao, starve for nine meals in three days, and still not run away after nine meals, there is nothing to do with your head! 】

"It's simple!" Lu Bu showed a hearty smile, "It's too simple to just make an oath, let me write you a letter!"

"Lord, please let me ghostwrite this document!" Jia Xu stepped forward, cupping his fists and cupping his hands.

"That's fine, I'll just stamp the big seal!" Lu Bu turned his head to look at Jia Xu, and found that Jia Xu was winking at him and showing a faint smile, "Then there will be Lao Wen and the ghostwriter!"

"No!" Jia Xu cupped his fists and turned away.

After a while, Jia Xu handed the written silk to Lu Bu's hands.

"My lord, please take a look!"

"The north remains the same, Marquis Wen will never go north!" Lu Bu read aloud in public, frowning slightly, "Wen He, this word...is beautifully written!"

[Jia Xu, are you playing a word game?The north will remain unchanged and there will never be an expedition to the north?How can the North remain unchanged?Yuan Shao is attacking Gongsun Zan. As long as he attacks Gongsun Zan, won't the north change?No, you don’t regard Yuan Shao as a human being! 】

[Yuan Shao is stupid, but he is not a pig, he still has a human IQ, and Yuan Shao is only sometimes stupid, not to mention that Yuan Shao's advisers are not vegetarians!If you take this sentence as evidence, you may have some deep grudge against Xu You! 】

[Do you really want to cut Xu You into pieces and put him in a frying pan? 】

"How...how can this be done?" Xu You frowned and glared at Jia Xu fiercely, "My lord, if I take this receipt and return, I will definitely suffer the punishment of a knife and axe! Please write another receipt, my lord!"

"How could it be?" Jia Xu smiled indifferently, "My lord is the Marquis Wen of the great Han. The most hope of the big man is stability, peace, and no chaos! As long as there is no chaos, my lord will not send troops to the Northern Expedition. Is there anything wrong with that? "

"Ah!" Xu You sighed, cupping his fists and cupping his hands, "My lord, now that the Han Dynasty is in decline, the world is in chaos, and the princes are attacking each other. The current situation is changing rapidly. How can the north remain unchanged? Although Yuan Shao is stupid, he is not an idiot! My lord, please write another letter for the sake of 30 stone grain and grass!"

"I think it's not good either! Wen He, you'd better stop teasing him!" Lu Bu narrowed his eyes slightly, with a faint smile on his face, "Yuan Shao gave me 30 stones of food and grass. It doesn't hurt to give him a promise!"

"My lord, this matter still needs to be discussed!" Jia Xu frowned and cupped his fists, "If my lord agrees not to go to the Northern Expedition, my lord cannot break his promise to the world. The greatest achievement that my lord can achieve by then is to fight against Yuan Shao in the south and north. And cure it!”

"My lord, what Wen He said is very true!" Chen Qun stood in the line, clasped his fists and cupped his hands, "If Zijing were here, he would definitely stop the lord, and please think again, lord!"

[Although it makes sense, how can there be such a strong alliance in troubled times?Even Qin and Jin sometimes attacked each other! 】

[If someone is obsessed with covenants and written documents, it will appear pedantic!In troubled times, being without talent is not scary, what is scary is being pedantic and not knowing how to adapt! 】

[And with Xu You here, are you afraid that Yuan Shao will not break the contract?If Yuan Shao doesn't break the contract, Xu You will be able to lurk with Yuan Shao for a day and suck blood a little bit!Yuan Shao will find out that Xu You eats inside and out one day, right?By that time, Yuan Shao still hasn't sent his troops south? 】

【receipt?Yep, it’s just a piece of rag with writing on it!The winner is king, and you must be honest with your opponents, but if you are honest with your enemies, you are a fool! 】

Ren Yun's voice sounded in his mind, and Lu Bu's shaky heart suddenly became extremely firm.

"There is no need to argue. The world is in chaos now. If we are friends with Yuan Shao, we must keep our promise! However, in troubled times, interests come first. We are friends now, but we may not be friends tomorrow! Do you understand what I mean?"

"My lord, do you mean that you don't need to keep your promises to the enemy?" Chen Qun frowned slightly, "If a man has no faith, he will not stand! If the Lord has no faith, the country will be in trouble! The most serious thing in the world is nothing more than You have broken your trust with the people! My lord, please think again!"

"Long article!" Lu Bu stared at Chen Qun with blazing eyes like an eagle, "The winner is king. In troubled times, if you only know how to keep your credibility and don't know how to adapt, then you will be a bit pedantic and stubborn!"

"Alas! Lord, for the Legalists, if a monarch loses credibility, how can the people in the world follow this monarch with confidence?" Chen Qun shook his head and sighed.

"I don't agree!" Jia Xu stood in line, "My lord, winners and losers, everything is impermanent, even Qin and Jin, there are times when they attack each other!"
