"According to what you say, why was Dong Zhuo defeated again and again by the rebels when he had such a big force?" Lu Bu slowed down his steps, very puzzled.

Jiang Jian didn't know about this, shook his head and replied: "I don't know about this, but these rebel Qiang people are handsome, and at least eight out of ten know Dong Zhuo." Some are respectful, some are afraid, and some are attached...... Anyway, in this area of Liangzhou, Dong Zhuo can basically be said to cover the sky with one hand. ”

Jiang Jian said indifferently, but to Lu Bu's ears, it meant another level.

He began to reflect and hypothetize in his mind, maybe the Liangzhou rebellion was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Maybe from the beginning to the present, they are being led by the nose and step by step into the set trap.

But to say what the overall layout of this big chess game is, with his current mind, it is not enough to see the context and thinking of the layout person.

Some things flashed through my mind like shooting stars, but I couldn't grasp the important information.

"General, we're here." Jiang Yin, who led the way, stopped.

Lu Bu, who was thinking about things, looked up, and above the wide mansion gate in front of him, the door plaque was engraved with two gilt fonts of 'Jiang Mansion', and the end was majestic.

Lu Bu said 'um', put aside the things in his mind for the time being, and followed Jiang Jian into the mansion.

The courtyard of Jiang's Mansion is far-reaching, and along the way, there are servants saluting and greeting. Compared with the luxury of those local mansions in Luoyang, the family mansions in Liangzhou are obviously different in style, and most of them are based on simple and heavy architectural styles.

The old man Jiang Mian was sitting in the hall, and when he heard the footsteps outside the house approaching, he opened his thin eyelids, got up and walked to the door.

The head of the Jiang family greeted him in person, which was enough to give Lu Bu face.

However, when he saw Lu Bu, the old man was still slightly stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this general to be so young.

Fortunately, the old man was also an experienced figure, so he quickly came back to his senses, invited Lu Bu into the hall, and said in a gentle tone: "Late at night, you didn't bother the general, right?" ”

"The Jiang family is serious, and it is an honor to be able to come to your mansion as a guest. If you want to talk about nuisance, I should say it. ”

Lu Bu replied with a smile, his demeanor was modest but not polite.

This trip to Liangzhou to quell the rebellion is only one of them, the most important thing is that he has some thoughts about Liangzhou.

Since he experienced life and death again in Nanyang, the vision that Lu Bu could see gradually opened. If the strategic relationship of allies can be established in Liangzhou, it will be of great help in the future.

If you can get the support of the Jiang family and the Gai family, it can already be said that you are half the battle.

After entering the hall, Lu Bu knelt in the seat of the distinguished guest, and Old Man Jiang asked the servant to serve wine and meat for Lu Bu to taste.

Lu Bu poured wine into the cup and saluted Jiang Mianyao: "Thank you for the kindness of the Jiang family master." ”

"General Lu is polite, if you are grateful, it should be said by the old man."

Jiang Mian raised the wine bottle, also saluted Lu Bu, and then drank the wine into his stomach, before he continued: "Zhong'er has been undisciplined since he was a child, and his personality is reckless and rebellious, which must have caused a lot of trouble to the general. ”

"What did the head of the Jiang family say, Zhong Yi is good at martial arts, and he is top-notch in riding and archery, and he is a rare talent in my camp. Not only did he not cause trouble, but he won a lot of feats......"

Such a kind family head, Lu Bu is really the first time to see him. Take his father-in-law, Old Man Yan, for example, that temperament is not a good talker at all.

Since Jiang Mian respects him, he naturally has to give Old Man Jiang enough face.

If you just praise the old man, he may not be happy, but if you praise his son, even if he scolds the rebel son, but in his heart, he is very happy.

In the middle of the bargain, the servant of the Jiang family walked in from outside the door, holding two plates of dark yellow gold cakes in his hands, and respectfully placed them on the table in front of Lu Bu.

"What does that mean?" Lu Bu stopped holding the glass of wine in the air, his eyes narrowed slightly, and asked Jiang Mian, the host here.

"Be careful, not respectful, and hope that the general will laugh." The head of the Jiang family replied with a smile.

Lu Bu put the glass of wine in his hand on the table, and looked at the two plates of golden cakes that many people couldn't ask for, there was no trace of greed in his eyes, and there was just endless indifference.

Thinking about the beginning, he was forced to flee by a plate of gold cakes from Old Man Yan. Coupled with the familiar smile and tone on Jiang Mian's face now, it really stimulated him.

The habit of the family is to look down on these little people from poor backgrounds in their hearts. thinks that if you have money and power, you can trample on the dignity of other people's hearts at will.

But thinking about it is always a good intention, Lu Bu did not turn his face in a single game, but said in a low voice: "If the Jiang family master really wants to thank me, then please exchange these for food and distribute them to the hungry people in the city to relieve their current difficulties." ”

In the war-torn era, food was far more valuable than money.

Jiang Mian heard Lu Bu's refusal, and at first he thought he was too little, and he couldn't help but feel a little disdain in his heart.

It wasn't until later after listening to Lu Bu's words that Jiang Mian's old face turned red, and there was a hint of other deep meaning in his eyes when he looked at Lu Bu, and he admired it: "I never thought that the general would still be so benevolent, but the old man looked away." Well, everything will be done according to what the general says. ”

Jiang Mian waved his hand, and the servant brought down the golden cake on the table.

This action made Lu Bu's impression of Jiang Mian change a lot in his heart.

In the second half of the narrative, Lu Bu's expression was already a little trance-like. This Liangzhou old wine didn't have much reaction when it first entered the stomach, but as I chatted, the strength of the wine slowly surged into my head.

With the drunken intent in his chest, he said with a worried look in his eyes: "Zhong Yi doesn't want to marry the young lady of the Dong family, and you don't have to be reluctant to do it, Jiang Lao." To get married, you still have to find a woman you like. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yin, who was sitting opposite, had bright eyes, and quietly gave Lu Bu a thumbs up, which was also what he wanted to say.

Old Man Jiang disagreed with this, and his enthusiastic tone faded a little: "This is a family matter of the Jiang family, so I won't bother with the general." ”

Getting married has been paying attention to 'the words of the parents' matchmaker since ancient times, and it is extremely important to be a householder, and it is up to the children to decide. Besides, could he, as a father, still plot to kill his own son?

Lu Bu, who was sitting in the seat, shook his head and waved his hand, muttering a lot of words in his mouth, looking drunk.

Then, he got up and swayed to the front of Jiang Mian's position, his hands propped up on the table, his head hung down slightly, and his mouth was full of drunken wine.

The voice was not loud, only enough for the two of them to hear: "In other words, what General Dong can give, maybe he can also do it below." ”

In the depths of unnoticed eyes, a sharp edge swept by like lightning.
