MTL - Three Kingdoms-Chapter 2719 everything is fine

  Chapter 2719 Everything is fine

  Since you are being deceived, you have to act like you are being deceived.

  I'm sorry, we don't know about this matter, it's all Pro... er, it's all new... Well, let me think about it, security! Who let you in? get out!

   That's about it.

  A group of petty officials gathered in one place, discussing a lot.

  『Have you heard? The vanguard camp was raised by horse thieves? 』

  『Isn’t it? Didn't it say that the horse thief had already been repelled? 』

  『Cough! I don’t believe it either, but it’s said to be true…”

  『What is true or false, this horse thief is capable, can he go to heaven? 』

  『Not to mention, this horse thief is really different. He has come up with a gimmick of "doing justice for the sky" and is gathering other horse thieves! Maybe something big will happen! Ok? Why don't you talk anymore? 』

  The little official began to gossip, pointing at Jiangshan, very passionately, and spitting out his mouth, but he didn't notice that the others were bowing their heads and turning their faces away.

   Wei Xu, who had just walked over, said gloomyly: "Hey, let me see, which sage is talking about it?" 』

  All the petty officials quickly knelt down on the ground, saying that they did not dare.

  The one who spoke the loudest just now kowtowed repeatedly, his face pale.

  『Drag it on, twenty slaps! ’Wei Xu pointed to the little official, and then said to the others, ‘It’s a good job! Don't play tricks like a woman! 』

  Amidst the obsequious responses of the other small officials, Wei Xu walked into his official residence with a sullen face. After sitting down, Wei Xu received Lu Bu's call, quickly cleaned up his face, and changed into a dog face to go to Lu Bu.

  『What's going on? ! ’ General Lu Bu’s report fell in front of Wei Xu, ‘Didn’t you report that it was stable and the horse thief retreated? ! Why is the entire forward camp lost now! you say! what happened? ! 』

  Wei Xu fell to the ground with a thud, and his movements were crisp and neat, just like the little official who kowtowed just now, he kowtowed his head, "Report to my lord! It's all my fault that I have blind eyes and failed to see through the sinister intentions of Chen Ada, a bastard! This bastard, he didn't want to be loyal to the lord, he was loyal to the big man, and he sold himself to a thief! 』

   Lu Bu was taken aback for a moment, then became angry, gritted his teeth and shouted, "What did you say?" ! 』

  Wei Xu trembled in fright, "Master... I, what I said is true..."

  『Let me tell you what happened when you said Chen Ada was a thief? ! ” Lu Bu patted the table, “Damn it! If a big man doesn't do it, he turns out to be a thief! Why? 』

  Wei Xu took a long breath, and immediately put his beating heart back to its original place, "Isn't it! my lord! This **** Chen Ada! 』

  When Wei Xu uttered the word Chen Ada, he gritted his teeth and hated the abnormality. If Chen Ada hadn't caused such a mess, Wei Xu would be able to drink a little wine and count money now, how carefree he is!

   As a result, now, he still has to come to accept Lu Bu's anger, and his heart and soul are almost scared out. This is Chen Ada's crime!

  『My lord! There are also people who don't notice it! ”Wei Xu moved forward a little, “If I had discovered that Chen Ada had treasonous intentions earlier, such a mess would not have happened! 』

   Lu Bu cast a gloomy face and glanced at Wei Xu.

Although Wei Xu has always said that it is his ignorance of employing people, which is his reason, but in fact, the more Wei Xu said so, the less Lu Bu would do anything to Wei Xu. On the contrary, if he kept saying that he was right, then he would This made Lu Bu even more unhappy. After all, if this matter was not Wei Xu's fault, could it be Lu Bu's fault?

  How could Lu Bu be wrong?

  Seeing that Wei Xu was so sincerely reviewing his mistakes, Lu Bu frowned and waved his hands, "Let's not talk about what is right or wrong, but what should we do about this matter?" Now I... well, the loss of the forward camp is small, but the impact is very bad! 』

  Do you want to fight a war, so what must be guaranteed?

  Didn't Lu Bu himself suffer a defeat? So he didn't care much about the temporary failure, nor did he care about the gains and losses of a place, but this didn't mean that Lu Bu couldn't care about this matter. He felt that he had to figure out the cause of the matter, and then find out the problem to solve it.

  Wei Xu kowtowed and said: "The minister has sent people to investigate and found...found..."

   Wei Xu slightly hesitated.

  『What did you find? Say it! ’ Lu Bu put on a straight face, ‘It’s all here now, what else is there to hide? 』

  『Yes, yes...my lord, the minister is guilty...』 Wei Xu apologized again, and then said, 『The minister sent people to investigate at Chen Ada’s home, and found that Chen Ada’s home...had a lot of money...』

  Wei Xu looked very heartbroken, shook his head and sighed: "Chen... I didn't expect it... I really didn't expect it..."

  How much money can Chen Ada have in his family? How many fools would put money in the house where they lived? Don't even those guys in later generations know how to rent a suite outside and put money there? So of course the money found in Chen Ada's house was put there by Wei Xu out of pocket. How can Wei Xu not be heartbroken like this? After all, what was "confiscated" would of course be confiscated, no matter how courageous Wei Xu was, he would not dare to touch it.

Going to get money elsewhere, no matter what the method is, can also be said to be a skill, but if you want to get money from Lu Bu's pocket, especially this kind of account, it is like stealing money in front of Lu Bu, not looking for death what?

  『A lot of money? ! ’ Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, then furious, ‘Damn it! Thief! It should be cut to pieces! 』

   Lu Bu took it for granted, thinking that the money was embezzled by Chen Ada.

Because Lu Bu is not completely ignorant of the situation in the Western Regions. His subordinates, including Wei Xu, take a little and use a little, eat a little and drink a little. Liu Bei's entry into Sichuan is almost the same. The brothers who have followed him for so many years have suffered a lot along the way. It's fine for Lu Bu to turn a blind eye, as long as these guys aren't going too far, he doesn't care.

   There is a lot of money in Chen Ada's family. Before contacting Wei Xu, he "invested in a thief". Is the conclusion obvious?

However, Lu Bu closed his eyes, held his breath and pondered for a while, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, "Uh... no, I remember Chen Ada, he didn't marry a wife, he just raised a concubine... For the benefit of horse thieves, he wouldn't hide it at home. It was transported here and there, let alone Chen Ada rested and bathed several times a year, and said that there was no one to take care of him at home... Could it be that he can rest assured? 』

  『Hiss...』Wei Xu swallowed a little, his eyes twitched, "My lord's concerns are indeed very reasonable..."

Wei Xu quickly thought of an excuse to make up for the flaws, "My lord is wise, this is why Chen Ada did this... Chen Ada has always wanted to leave the Western Regions and return to the Central Plains, so of course it is impossible for him to leave his money in the Central Plains." In the barracks... After all, there are many soldiers in the barracks, so it is inconvenient, and this concubine must be afraid of Chen Ada, and dare not easily turn over the utensils left by Chen Ada...』

Strictly speaking, Wei Xu's so-called explanation has no necessary connection. It is like the matter of the forward camp, which has many flaws, but it is like a doctoral student who will be deceived by a liar. Like a pig, sometimes the flaw in this matter is right in front of your eyes, but you just can't see it, and you can't find it.

  The human brain, at some point, will naturally ignore what it does not want to see, hear, and think of.

   Simply put, even the brain is lazy.

  As long as you are lazy, everything is so beautiful.

Although Lu Bu noticed something was wrong, he was still lazy to some extent. He didn't go into it, and he didn't even consider whether Wei Xu's explanation was true or not, and whether it fit the specific situation. He just thought that the horse thief The incident of invading the striker's camp made him very embarrassed, and this was the real reason for his anger.

  As for what the horse thief shouted about "do justice for the sky" or "have fun in advance", Lu Bu didn't care much at all. He thought it was like a joke, and whoever was serious would lose.

  The horse thief is still thinking about "doing justice for the sky", what is this if it is not a joke?

  Especially at this point in the world where Lu Bu is preparing to practice meritorious deeds, how can we hold a celebration like this?

  『My lord...』 Wei Xu saw that Lu Bu’s face seemed to be a little loose, so he moved forward a little bit, "Actually... it’s actually a good thing to say..."

"Ok? ’ Lu Bu was dumbfounded, “Is this still a good thing? 』

  Wei Xu nodded, and said seriously: "Yes, my lord! This Chen Ada has been lurking in our ranks, stealing weapons and horses in the vanguard camp to obtain money. This time, the horse thief may be due to uneven distribution of dirt, or some other reason, which led to the incident. In fact, It's a good thing, after all, if Chen Ada continues to develop... this long-term pain is worse than short-term pain! Moreover, these horse thieves are like the sand and dust in the Western Regions, they are visible when they gather, and disappear when they disperse. Now that these horse thieves have appeared, wouldn't it give us a good opportunity to wipe them out? If we pretend to be holding a celebration right now and don’t care about it, then the horse thief will let his guard down, and then we can...』

   Lu Bu stroked his beard and frowned. After what Wei Xu said, it seems a bit messed up?

Before Lu Bu led a team to personally wipe out the horse thieves along the line from Xihai City to Yumen Pass, it did achieve a lot of results, but it also paid a big price, not because the horse thieves had any high combat effectiveness, but because they were fighting against the horse thieves. The horse thief encountered bad weather and a bad environment on his way...

Although in the end the horse thieves from Xihai to Yumen Pass almost disappeared, the number of soldiers paid was no less than that of conquering a big country in the Western Regions. It means to fight mosquitoes.

  The vanguard camp is in the west of the West Sea, which happened to be the area that Lu Bu hadn't completely wiped out before. If we can use this opportunity to thoroughly attack the gathered horse thieves, wouldn't it turn a bad thing into a good thing?

"good! ”Lu Bu showed some smiles, “Yes, you can think of this, not bad, not bad! 』

"All this is due to my lord's good teaching..." Seeing Lu Bu smiled, Wei Xu felt determined, and the matter was basically over. It's okay, "This is actually a trivial matter, I'm really ashamed to trouble my lord to ask... Since the lord thinks this strategy is feasible, then... it's settled?" Use the vanguard camp as bait to gather and annihilate the western horse thieves! 』

   Lu Bu laughed, "That's it! I want to see if these horse thieves have harder heads, or my Fang Tian painting halberd is more powerful! 』

  Wei Xu hurriedly said: "How dare you bother Lord Lao to dispatch?" Things like this... uh, I'd better do it myself..."

"you go? Lu Bu waved his hand, "I know you mean well, but... well, this matter... you still lack..." Of course there is no problem for Wei Xu to go to the small group of horse thieves, but now there are a large number of horse thieves, Wei Xu is naturally not enough read.

  Wei Xu suddenly found a big flaw in his plan!

  If Lu Bu were to join the battle, those horse thieves would of course be nothing to worry about. Even now that Lu Bu's military strength has begun to decline from its peak, it still exists one by one. At least there is no big problem in dealing with these horse thieves. But the real problem is that if Lu Bu really goes into battle, it is possible to know the real situation!

   Once it gets to that point, things get tricky...

   What Lu Bu dislikes the most is that others deceive him. And although Wei Xu claimed that they were all white lies, lies are lies after all, and when they were exposed, Wei Xu did not dare to say that he would be able to withstand Lu Bu's anger.

what to do?

Wei Xu understood that it was Lu Bu who felt that Wei Xu's force value was not enough to deal with such a scene, so he didn't care to think too much about it, so he blurted out, "But... this, my lord, if you come out, this, this celebration what to do 』

  『Celebration? 』Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, he really hadn't considered this matter just now.

  When Wei Xu saw Lu Bu's expression, he thought something was going on. If Lu Bu abandoned the celebration without hesitation and no longer sought any "merit", Wei Xu really had no choice but to pull Lu Bu to say that merit should be given instead of horse thieves, and now Lu Bu hesitated, so he Just need to add another fire.

  『My lord’s plan to accumulate merit, how can it be destroyed by mere horse thieves? ”Wei Xu said hastily, “I know that my lord is sympathetic to me, but this horse thief…”

   Lu Bu's face suddenly became a little displeased, which could be regarded as Wei Xu's disobedience of his order.

  Wei Xu quickly added: "My lord, I know... I didn't mean that... By the way, why don't you let General Gao go out!" General Gao can definitely wipe out the horse thieves! 』

   There is Gao Shun who has a strong force value, isn't there?

  Although Wei Xu and Gao Shun had some quarrels, but at this time, they can't control it anymore. As long as Lu Bu didn't come to the scene in person, there is still a chance to make up for everything.

  『Boping... Boping, it should be fine too...』 Lu Bu mused, "Don't you have some gaps with Boping? Why do you still recommend him? 』

   Wei Xu's heart skipped a beat.

It's not that Lu Bu didn't know that Wei Xu and Gao Shun would not deal with each other, but he felt that Gao Shun was more annoying, while Wei Xu was more sympathetic. Shun sent to Yumen pass.

  Wei Xuqiang smiled and said: "Chen, uh, it is true that I have something with Boping... But such an important matter, how can I ruin the important matter of the lord because of my personal likes and dislikes?" In addition, I think the matter of the horse thief this time is very strange. It may be like what the lord said before, there are Guishuang people behind the scenes... Boping has always had a calm temperament, so I just wanted to see if there is anything strange at...」

  Even if Gao Shun is recommended, Wei Xu will lay an ambush. If any problem is discovered, he can find a way to push it to the Guishuang people.

  『People from Guishuang...huh! "Lu Bu narrowed his eyes, "It would be great if he was from Guishuang..."

  Wei Xu quickly said: "If the Guishuang people are really playing tricks behind their backs, then you can directly fight a big fight and completely convince these guys!" The lord can not only be famous among the big men, but also far and wide! When the time comes, the lord's great cause in the Western Regions can go a step further! 』

  『Ahahahaha! ’ Lu Bu laughed loudly, ‘Good! Just do it! A certain person sent an order to Boping to go out! For the defense of Yumen Pass, let's temporarily... Well, let me think about it, well, let Captain Meng take the place for now! 』

  Meng Xiaowei, that is, Meng Hua, came from Longyou before, and also fought in Cheshiqian Country, with quite some military exploits.

Wei Xu originally wanted to take the opportunity to install some people in Yumen Pass, but when he saw that Lu Bu had already made a decision, he couldn't refute it again, so he could only praise Lu Bu for employing people properly and knowing talents. I was happy to shoot Lu Bu, and I got the warrant for the celebration from Lu Bu, which can be regarded as getting some practical benefits.

   The matter of horse thieves can be put aside for the time being, but the celebration of this pot meeting must be held immediately.

  Simple, with a simple pattern, but if it is simple, it will not look very good.

   Being ugly doesn't mean that Wei Xu is incapable?

  If the celebration of this pot of pots fails to be held this time, will Lu Bu agree to let him do things next time?

Wei Xu naturally decided not only to do it, but also to do it in a complicated way, and to do it well, and at the same time not use too much money in the public warehouse, otherwise even if Lu Bu didn't care about it, Zhi Yinjian While writing a sentence, how much money was spent in order to hold such a pot meeting? Didn't that create a new big problem?

  So, Wei Xu had to find another way.

   Apportionment?

   Apportionment is of course a way, but time is tight and tasks are heavy. If we really wait for the money apportioned to the subordinate states of the Western Regions to get back, I am afraid that the opportunity has already been missed.

   It must be done while making money, and you can't wait!

  After going back, Wei Xu pondered for a long time, and finally let Wei Xu think of a good idea.

  Didn't Lu Bu agree to engage in "false titles" before, and this time just happened to catch up?

  『Come on, man! Wei Xu shouted loudly, "Report a list of all vacancies!" And so, so and so...」
