Lu Bu’s Life Simulator

Chapter 57: Coincidence

After Chen Gong came to Chang'an, he didn't go to see Lv Bu immediately. He didn't have any contact with Lv Bu. It's too reckless to meet him rashly and then ask Lv Bu to send troops to fight Cao Cao. No matter how he thinks about it, Lv Bu has no reason to agree .

Therefore, if you want to see Lv Bu and ask Lv Bu to send troops to help you, you need someone to recommend you. Chen Gong also has some understanding of the situation in Guanzhong. The people who can speak to Lv Bu, besides Xun You from the Xun family, probably belong to the Yang family. , although the reputation of the Yang family is not as good as before, Chen Gong has to follow the rules when visiting.

"My son Dezu is indeed listening to orders from Wen Hou's family, but he left Chang'an the day before yesterday to go to Shangdang to take up his post. I'm afraid he won't be able to help Gongtai." Sighed.

"The old matriarch has great prestige in the court. Although he is temporarily retiring from his post and returning home, if he can give advice to Marquis Wen, Marquis Wen should listen to the majesty's words, right?" Chen Gong couldn't help asking.

Yang Biao took a serious look at Chen Gong, and after confirming that he was not burying himself, he sighed leisurely: "Is this how the Guandong is spread?"

Who said that he could speak in front of Lu Bu? Is this too much for yourself?

Chen Gong was a little confused when he heard the words, so why did the Guandong scholars spread it like this? Looking at Yang Biao, he wondered, "What does the Taifu mean by this? If the Taifu doesn't want it... I wonder if I can recommend it?"

Yang Biao rubbed his temples with a headache. He didn't know how to tell the other party that his reputation was useless here. As for Lu Bu, he hadn't seen him for a long time. Whether it was helping him or introducing him, his son was fine. Now Yang Biao Once Xiu leaves, where can I recommend him?

This old face of myself cannot be sold in Chang'an City today.

After pondering for a moment, he said: "Before this old man and Marquis Wen had some... little grudges. If you help Gongtai at this time, it will be a disservice. Why don't Gongtai go directly to the Weiwei Department?"

"To be honest, Gong came here this time to invite Marquis Wen to send troops. It is extremely urgent. If you go alone, you will inevitably be rejected by others. Old Madam Wanwang will give you some advice." Chen Gong bowed.

"When you go to the Weiwei Office, you probably won't see Marquis Wen, but Gongda is probably in the Weiwei Office. He is a close minister of Wenhou, and it may be more useful for Gongtai to find Gongda for help than me, a dying man. " Yang Biao said helplessly.

Convince Lu Bu to fight Cao Cao?

If Lu Bu wanted to fight, he didn't need to persuade him. If he didn't want to fight, there were not many people who could persuade him to send troops. Yang Biao didn't think Chen Gong could do it, but he couldn't refuse directly. Go to Xun You.

Although Chen Gong was dissatisfied, facing Yang Biao and other domestic celebrities, he couldn't continue pestering them, so he could only nod slightly, and prepared to go directly to the Wei Wei Department.

"Drink some tea before leaving. It's freezing cold, warm your body. This thing was made by Marquis Wen. It has a refreshing effect and has an endless aftertaste." Yang Biao pointed to the tea in his hand and said to Chen Gong.

Chen Gong nodded silently, the tea was already a bit cold, and it did have a special taste, which was quite different from the tea soup he drank in the past, but he had something on his mind at the moment, and he didn't have the heart to find out the root of it. , then got up to say goodbye, and said something about coming to visit another day.

Looking at the back of Chen Gong leaving, Yang Biao was thinking about the current situation in Kanto. Cao Cao has indeed developed well in the past two years. Will he be Lu Bu's opponent in the future?

This is uncertain, just like no one thought that the final beneficiary of Guanzhong would be an outsider named Lu Bu, and he could still sit firmly in Guanzhong.

On the other hand, after Chen Gong bid farewell to Yang Biao, he was full of worries along the way. Yang Biao seemed to have something to say to him, but he didn't say it. It seemed that he wanted to persuade him to leave Guanzhong, but he didn't know why?

In the depths of winter, pedestrians on Chang'an Avenue were in a hurry, but Chen Gong suddenly discovered a problem. Since entering Guanzhong, although it was not very good, it was not at all like what should happen after a severe drought. The appearance of the people, the people live very casually, and there is no sense that the people are destitute after the catastrophe.

Is this a place under the rule of a reckless Lu Bu?

Chen Gong suddenly stopped and looked at the square market in front of him. There were people coming and going everywhere. From time to time, he could see a few Fanbang people who were obviously not Han Chinese looking for suitable buyers in the square market.

According to the legend of the Kanto, the people in this Guanzhong area were in dire straits, and Lu Bu killed them brutally, eating a few babies every meal.

Although it is exaggerated, one thing is for sure. The people under Lu Bu’s rule are always in dire straits. No matter where you go in Kanto, you will basically say the same thing, but the dire straits in front of you...Chen Gong thinks that most people want to come try.

"Zi Liu~"

Chen Gong was attracted by a sucking sound, turned his head to look, and saw a fat middle-aged scribe, wearing mink fur, he looked very warm, he should be a scholar, sitting at the corner of a house basking in the sun He was looking at the sun, with a boy beside him, helping him make tea, with a relaxed look on his face, so uncomfortable.

Seeing Chen Gong looking over, he smiled and nodded to him.

Chen Gong returned the salute, hesitated for a moment, walked to the other side and asked, "May I ask if this gentleman is a scholar from Chang'an?"

"It doesn't count." Jia Xu thought for a while, although he was in Chang'an, he shouldn't be considered a Chang'an scholar, right?

"I heard that there is a severe drought in Guanzhong this year?" Chen Gong said with some uncertainty, the current appearance really does not look like after the severe drought.

"That's right." Jia Xu nodded and said with emotion, "I'm really busy with this this year."

Lu Bu has been running around from April to almost August, and he is slowly taking a break. He has almost traveled all over Guanzhong, and he feels busy when he looks at it, and even Jia Xu occasionally goes to the government office to help.

"If he is willing to treat the scholars well, why is he in such a hurry?" Chen Gong was somewhat disdainful when he heard the words. Lu Bu did this all by himself. No matter what, such things as slaughtering the nobles cannot be washed away.

"That depends on how you say it." Jia Xu smiled while drinking tea.

"What do you mean by that, sir?" Chen Gong was a little puzzled, judging by Jia Xu's outfit and fat appearance, she didn't look like she was raised by an ordinary family. Even if she wasn't a scholar, she should have a powerful background. Speak for Lu Bu?

"If it weren't for the government's various means to suppress the scholars, I am afraid that this year's big man would have exposed his bones in Guanzhong, and the merits would outweigh the faults." Jia Xu said with emotion.

Among other things, if Lu Bu hadn't opened up the sale of official grain for a long time, so that the gentry who stored grain could not take advantage of the drought and famine to raise the price of grain, how many people would starve to death? If Lu Bu hadn't slaughtered the gentry and collected a lot of food, where would all the food and grass come to relieve the disaster? So this drink and peck are all determined by God.

"It's not worth the effort, and it's a good thing to save the people, but it's definitely not benevolent to waste the lives of the nobles." Chen Gong obviously disagreed with some of Jia Xu's views.

"In this chaotic world, benevolence and righteousness... are too extravagant. If there is only one between the scholar and the people, let the gentleman choose, how should the husband choose?" Jia Xu looked at Chen Gong and asked with a smile.

"This..." Chen Gong was at a loss for words, he instinctively selected scholars, but this would seem unkind, voters?

Why did Chen Gong rebel against Cao? The most fundamental reason was Bian Rang's death. Although Cao Cao massacred the city later, Chen Gong was also very angry, but this emotion was not as intense as when Cao Cao killed Bian Rang.

People and scholars can only choose one, Chen Gong already has the answer in his heart, but it is obviously inappropriate to say this answer, so he can only speak at a loss.

"It seems that you already have the answer. Even a high-ranking scholar like you is incapable of benevolence, so why criticize others?" Jia Xu smiled and took a sip of tea. This is good in Chang'an. You can talk freely.

Chen Gong frowned and looked at Jia Xu: "Have you asked for your name yet?"

"Jia Xu." Jia Xu smiled.

It's a very strange name, at least Chen Gong has never heard of it, but this person has extraordinary knowledge, so he shouldn't be an unknown person!

Chen Gong looked at Jia Xu, frowned and remained silent.

"This is... Wen He's friend?" Lu Bu came back with Dian Wei to relieve him, and asked suspiciously after seeing Chen Gong.

Jia Xu shook his head, it was rare to see a scholar in this kind of place, so he just chatted casually.

Chen Gong looked at the people coming, and his heart beat wildly for no reason. Lu Bu and Dian Wei's taller than ordinary people's bodies felt oppressive, and Dian Wei beside him was even more ferocious, only occasionally looking at them. From a human perspective, it looks like a beast that chooses and devours people is about to eat people.

Jia Xu looks like a celebrity, how could she walk with such two people? Looking at the tall figure sitting down and drinking tea together, it was obvious that the two sides had a good friendship, Chen Gong was very puzzled, how could such a knowledgeable person like Jia Xu be with such a person? Do you have any special hobbies?

I didn't want to say any more at the moment, I just bowed to Jia Xu and said, "Farewell."

"Go slowly." Jia Xu said casually.

"My lord, I think this person looks at us with disdain!" Before Chen Gong could go far, Dian Wei turned to look at Lu Bu and said.

Chen Gong's footsteps involuntarily quickened a few steps, right and wrong will not stay here soon!

Lu Bu looked amused: "Yeah, it's not the first time I met you."

"These scholars...all of them don't have much ability, and they have a bit of airs. It's really uncomfortable to watch!" Dian Wei said disdainfully. Since Lu Bu taught him the natural way in front of scholars, he now looks at scholars. People... It's okay for those who are around Jia Xu, but those who are not familiar with him always feel a little disgusted.

"This person still has a bit of real talent." Jia Xu blew on the tea leaves from the teacup and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Lu Bu looked at Jia Xu in surprise when he heard the words. Although Jia Xu looked easy to talk on weekdays, there were not many scholars who could make him take the initiative to admit it.

Looking at the direction where Chen Gong left, he smiled and said, "I've never seen it before."

"I think I just came to Guanzhong, but it seems that I didn't come here in response to the order of seeking talents." Jia Xu nodded and said.

Chen Gong had already disappeared, Lu Bu held the teacup and looked at the direction Chen Gong was leaving, and said, "I have a premonition that we will see you again soon."

Jia Xu nodded, if you say yes~
