Chapter 395 What? Ask me? Then I'll need an external brain
"Brother Fengxian, I got a jar of fine wine and came here to drink with you!"
Yan Liang acted quickly. After he made up his mind to visit Lu Bu, he immediately went to visit him with some wine.
Lu Bu's eyes lit up. As a general, fine wine was obviously one of his favorites. He clapped his hands on his thighs and walked forward quickly. "Hey, brother, why are you carrying such a valuable thing?"
"Hey, Brother Fengxian, why do you say that? No matter how valuable the wine is, can it compare to the friendship between you and me?!"
"Brother, what you are saying is that I seem to be too rigid. Come on, brother, please take a seat!"
After saying this, Lu Bu ordered a servant, "Quick, quick, roast some mutton. I want to get drunk with my brother!"
"promise."
The servant bowed and withdrew.
After a while, the servants brought up charcoal and mutton. While Yan Liang and Lu Bu were chatting, they deftly strung the mutton into skewers, sprinkled salt on them, and grilled them over the charcoal. Not long after, the mutton was sizzling and the aroma filled the room, quickly arousing everyone's appetite and causing them to salivate wildly in their mouths.
"Please, please enjoy first, brother!"
Lu Bu smiled and pointed at the mutton on the plate, then winked at a servant. The servant immediately understood, stepped forward quickly, opened the seal of the wine jar, and poured a glass of wine for Yan Liang and Lu Bu respectively.
"Haha, in that case, I won't be polite!" Yan Liang ate mutton and drank fine wine, smacked his lips, and sighed, "Great, great, great! A real man should eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink wine with big bowls!"
Lu Bu's smile also became brighter, but he thought to himself: Yan Liang just wants to eat meat and drink with me? Why do I always feel that things are not that simple? Forget it, let's see what suspense he is going to show off.
Lu Bu didn't think any more about it. He ate mutton and drank fine wine while chatting with Yan Liang.
The dishes have five flavors and the wine has been drunk three times.
Yan Liang, whose cheeks were flushed with drunkenness, suddenly put down his wine glass. A look of worry appeared on his face and he sighed repeatedly.
Lu Bu knew that this was a sign of his true intention. He pretended not to notice and asked casually, "Brother, why are you sighing?"
"Alas, my dear brother, you don't know!" Yan Liang hesitated to speak, as if waiting for Lu Bu's next words.
Lu Bu also knew the answer. He smiled and asked, "What are you worried about? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I can come up with a solution together with you."
"Since you have said so, I will not hide it any more." Yan Liang gritted his teeth, as if he had made a great decision. "The thing is, Military Advisor Tian once came to me and told me to give up Bingzhou. What do you think, brother?"
The smile on Lu Bu's face froze immediately.
Ah? Ask him what to do?
Originally, he was still despising Yan Liang, the Hebei general, for his extremely cunning mind, so he turned around and asked him, a Bingzhou person, what he thought about it.
How else can he see it?
Of course, I go to find Mi Zifang!
Otherwise, do we really want him to give advice to Yan Liang?
Who knew that Yan Liang had evil intentions!
"Brother, why do you look so strange? Did you hiccup?" Yan Liang burped and asked with concern, "Did you get sick?"
Lu Bu was silent for a moment, then suddenly stood up, covered his abdomen, and said with embarrassment, "Brother, I am in a hurry. Excuse me."
"There is no time to waste on this matter. Go ahead."
Lu Bu forced an awkward smile on his face, bowed to Yan Liang, turned around and walked away quickly.
However, as soon as he left the room, his smile disappeared. He knocked on Mi Fang's door hastily and heard Mi Fang reply, "Please."
Lu Bu's anxious heart immediately calmed down. He pushed the door open and found Mi Fang practicing calligraphy. He glanced at him and praised him, "Great, great, great calligraphy! You are worthy of being Mi's military advisor!"
Mi Fang, who had been with Lü Bu for a long time, sensed that something was wrong with him and felt that he had ulterior motives, so he asked directly, "General Lü, why did you come to see me?"
"Hahaha, I really can't hide it from the military advisor! Military advisor, just now when Yan Liang and I were drinking." Lu Bu told Mi Fang everything that happened when he and Yan Liang were drinking, without missing a single detail. The more Mi Fang listened, the more his brows frowned. Tian Feng was indeed not a simple man. Even he had heard of Tian Feng's reputation. Before setting off, Chen Deng had also warned him to be careful of Tian Feng.
When Lu Bu saw Mi Fang's expression, he secretly said that something was wrong and thought bitterly: Just as I expected, Yan Liang must be harboring evil intentions, otherwise why would the military advisor be so worried.
He patted his chest again, a feeling of relief welling up in his chest, and he thanked in his heart: Fortunately, I came here to ask the military advisor, otherwise I would have fallen flat on my face.
"Military Advisor, how should I reply to Yan Liang?" Lu Bu asked nervously.
Mi Fang was silent for a moment and took a deep breath. He already had an idea in his mind. Since Tian Feng was not an ordinary person, he must have unique insights and his suggestions would most likely be beneficial to Yuan Shao. So he would do the opposite.
Mi Fang, who had made up his mind, said seriously: "General, your goal is to become the governor of Bingzhou. If General Yan abandons Bingzhou and relocates the population, what's the point of becoming the governor of Bingzhou? What's more, Li Jue and Guo Si outside Yanmen Pass are eyeing him covetously. No matter what your considerations are, you must dissuade General Yan from giving up Bingzhou!"
"My Advisor's words have enlightened me!" The smile on Lu Bu's face gradually faded. "Then how can I convince Yan Liang without letting him find out?"
"General, please come closer and let me explain something to you."
"good!"
Lu Bu put his ear close to Mi Fang's mouth and listened to Mi Fang's story. He nodded repeatedly and applauded with his hands.
"Why haven't you seen Brother Fengxian yet?"
Yan Liang shook the wine jar, causing it to tilt all over the place. He opened his hazy eyes and looked at the jar, only to see that it was empty.
"No more wine."
Just as Yan Liang was about to get up, he happened to see Lu Bu stepping over the threshold and entering the house.
"Fengxian, my dear brother Fengxian, you are finally back. Look at this wine. It's empty! Ha!" Yan Liang picked up the jar of wine and shook it in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu smiled and said, "General Yan, we can fight if we lose the wine, but it will be difficult to get the land back if we lose it."
Yan Liang shuddered at these words and instantly became more sober. He stood up quickly, his expression gradually becoming serious, and asked, "Does Fengxian mean that Bingzhou cannot be lost?"
"good."
"Why?"
Lu Bu explained: "First, the people of Bingzhou are brave and strong, and they are a high-quality source of soldiers. Second, Bingzhou can raise horses, and if they can raise horses, they can train knights. Third, Bingzhou can serve as a barrier for Jizhou. Fourth."
When it came to the fourth point, Lu Bu paused, which made Yan Liang particularly curious. The previous three points were enough to make him determined to defend Bingzhou. After all, Yuan Shao had revealed to him that if Bingzhou, Jizhou, Youzhou and Qingzhou were connected together, they would be able to occupy the richest and most powerful place in the world, and no one would be able to compete with them at that time. The fact that he could come up with these three points showed Lu Bu's talent.
So the question is, what else?
As Lu Bu made up his mind and spoke slowly, Yan Liang, who was originally expectant and curious, widened his eyes in disbelief, and his head was buzzing. What did he hear?
"Li Jue and Guo Si have a rare treasure."
"The name of the strange treasure is."
"Imperial jade seal!"
"!!!"
