The Three Kingdoms: If you don't have money to buy an official position, you can only be the em

Chapter 59 Jia Xu's Evil Plan

The law of cause and effect that Lu Bu used his Fang Tian Hua Ji to stab his adoptive father has not been triggered due to the appearance of Jiang Cheng - his first two adoptive fathers were killed by Zhang Liang with a shotgun, and the other was burned to death by Yuan Shu.

None of them were killed by Lu Bu.

Therefore, Lu Bu no longer has the identity of a "slave of three surnames" and is highly valued by Yuan Shu.

But top strategists can understand a person's character after just a little contact. Jia Xu had worked with Lu Bu for so long, it was impossible for him not to know that Lu Bu was a rebellious person.

After Jiang Cheng asked him to come up with a "counter-espionage plan", he immediately smiled with confidence.

"That's easy. All we need to do is bribe Yuan Shu's treacherous officials and let them spread rumors. Then we can offer Lu Bu a reward that he can't refuse. Lu Bu will definitely turn against us and kill Yuan Shu!"

Jiang Cheng nodded to this.

"Then you can do it!"

After saying this, he handed over the secret clues he left on Yuan Shu's side to Jia Xu.

Not long after, under Jia Xu's order, an important figure of the Taiping Dao, the rural Taoist priest "Wang Zhang", was captured by Lu Bu and imprisoned in prison.

He did not present it to Yuan Shu.

Because someone around Lu Bu said: "You presented a Taiping Heavenly Master to the lord, but it is just a spy, which is not a great achievement. But I heard that the people in Taihang Mountain attach great importance to the lives of their subordinates. If you use this to threaten them to send food and grass, and then present the food and grass to the lord, he will definitely be very pleased!"

Nowadays, Yuan Shu’s food and grass are actually not sufficient, and he was also affected after the breakup with Yuan Shao.

The money and grain in the capital were also taken away by Jiang Cheng.

It was also roasted over the fire.

If someone could get a large amount of food and grass, Yuan Shu would definitely be very happy - it is undeniable that when Lu Bu was valued, he was actually very loyal, or had a serious work attitude.

For Yuan Shu's sake, he listened to the advice of his subordinates.

No one was killed and no one was handed over.

Instead, he secretly wrote a letter to Jiang Cheng, asking him to get 100,000 shi of grain to redeem the person.

In response to this, Jia Xu did not hesitate and applied to Jiang Cheng for 200,000 shi of grain and fodder, 100,000 shi to complete the transaction and 100,000 shi to give to Lu Bu to thank him for not killing him.

The moment he received the food and fodder, Lu Bu was filled with joy.

"Jiang Chengren is pretty good!"

Then he took 100,000 shi of grain and fodder, found Yuan Shu, and presented it to him.

As for the other 100,000, they were given to him by others, so of course he accepted them with a smile and did not have to hand them over - from this point of view, even if Lu Bu's EQ was not negative, it was not high.

It fell right into Jia Xu's trap.

Only on the next day, the fact that he had released the Taiping Heavenly Master without permission was reported to the police.

Not only that, they also intercepted the letters they exchanged with each other: the letter in which Jia Xu thanked him for the gift of food and fodder was intercepted intact, while the letter in which Lu Bu wrote to extort money was burned, leaving only the preface.

"Written personally by the Great Heavenly Master Shennong" in seven large characters.

Therefore, a treacherous minister who was secretly bribed said: "Your Majesty, Lü Bu is secretly communicating with Jiang Cheng, and he has already found a new partner. Once Your Majesty fails in his campaign against Cao Cao, he will surrender to the Yan bandits!"

These words are, of course, slander.

But the problem is, it is true that Lu Bu wrote a letter to Jiang Cheng, and it is also true that he took away Jiang Cheng's food and grass.

Irrefutable.

"Don't talk nonsense, you thief. I captured the Taiping Heavenly Master and wrote a letter to extort food and grass from Jiang Cheng!" Lu Bu said angrily, "Besides, the food and grass I asked for have already been presented to my adoptive father!"

Yuan Shu nodded to this.

He received the food and fodder.

"But you received 200,000 stones, why did you only give 100,000?" said the treacherous minister.

"That's a gift from them to thank me for not killing anyone!" Lu Bu said bluntly. But just as he finished speaking, he realized that Yuan Shu's face had turned as black as a pig's liver.

You extort 100,000 and someone gives you 200,000?
You have no relatives or friends, how can anyone love you?
"Hahaha, what a joke!" The treacherous minister laughed first, and then said with a cold face: "Why didn't Jiang Cheng send me food and grass? Why didn't he send food and grass to General Ji Ling? Why did he send it to you?" After these words were spoken, combined with what Lu Bu had done and the letter which only had a preface.

Yuan Shu couldn't help but think about it.

"If it was a blackmail letter, why did he destroy it? He must have been having an affair with Jiang Cheng and wanted to harm me!"

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they will take root and sprout.

Yuan Shu did not have an attack that day.

But three days later, he secretly summoned General Ji Ling, and on the fourth day he summoned Zhang Liao, and then... On the fifth day, Yuan Shu ordered Lu Bu to lead a thousand people to leave the army on the pretext of escorting food and grass.

Then, there was no recall.

He promoted Zhang Liao to take over Lu Bu's military power, and also divided the troops among the generals Ji Ling.

In name, Lu Bu was still the "King of Bing" and was in charge of military affairs.

But in reality, he had been sidelined and had only a thousand personal soldiers under his command.

Two hundred cavalrymen and eight hundred trap camps.

They are all die-hard fans.

"This is outrageous! That bastard actually slandered me and caused my adoptive father to misunderstand me!" When Lu Bu learned that he was being sidelined, he glared in anger.

At this moment, Wang Zhang came to Lu Bu with dozens of civilians.

"Why are you here again?"

He was able to recognize the Taiping Heavenly Master, whom he had let go with his own hands, even though he was in disguise.

"I came to rob the food." Wang Zhang said, "But when I learned that it was General Lu who was escorting them, I absolutely could not rob them. The Taiping Dao believes in repaying a drop of kindness with a spring of water. You cannot attack a benefactor."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Bu's face immediately darkened.

"You only brought a few dozen people here. Can you rob my military rations?"

This is fucking bullshit.

Even if an army of 100,000 comes, I can kill them all with my Xianzhen Camp and 200 cavalrymen!

Elite soldiers, elite cavalry, and iron cavalry are completely different types of troops.

The Iron Cavalry is the ancient version of the tank. It requires top-quality war horses and the best of the best soldiers to be formed. The armor for humans and horses alone weighs more than 100 kilograms.

It can ignore arrows and attacks from ordinary soldiers.

Infiltrate and charge into the army.

Five hundred men can change the course of a war, five thousand are enough to dominate the world, and the so-called "invincible with tens of thousands" is mostly used to describe the "Iron Cavalry".

Therefore, although Lu Bu was in a state of decline, he still had two hundred cavalrymen and eight hundred trap camps.

The strength is still there.

"Of course it's impossible to rob directly. The general's martial arts are invincible in the world. Wang Zhang doesn't even know martial arts, so he will definitely be defeated!" Wang Zhang smiled and said, "But if I bring knockout drugs with me, and my men pretend to be two groups of people. One group brings a few jars of strong liquor and drinks it, and the other group takes a big bowl filled with knockout drugs and steals the wine to drink. Then I grab it and pour the knockout drugs into the wine without anyone noticing. How can the general defend himself?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Bu immediately took a breath of cold air.

He was escorting food and fodder, so he was naturally alert.

But he would not doubt the wine that others are drinking. Once his appetite is aroused... the consequences will be disastrous!
"Everyone says you are bandits, but in my eyes, Lu Bu, you are heroes!"

At this moment, Lu Bu's original fear of the Taiping Dao completely disappeared.

At this time, Wang Zhang smiled, took out a "treasure bow" and said: "Speaking of which, in addition to looting food and grass, I also have a mission and plan to go to the military camp to find Wen Hou."

"What are you looking for me for?"

"A few days ago, my great master got the 'Overlord Bow' and found that no one in the entire Taihang Mountains could pull it open. Even Dian Wei and Zhao Yun failed. So he specially asked me to bring this bow here and let Wen Hou try it out!"
