It is definitely impossible to exchange him for Yanzhou.

Cao Cao is not stupid either.

At most, it can be exchanged for some money and food. If he wants, tens of thousands of stones should be no problem.

But now the Dong family is not particularly short of food or money.

Their most urgent task was to cross the river as quickly as possible and enter Jizhou.

If Gongsun Zan was driven out of Jizhou by Yuan Shao, then Yuan Shao would enter a relatively stable period of development.

With the support of Jizhou's million-person population, Yuan Shao's strength will undergo a complete qualitative change in a few years.

"Young Master, who exactly is this Xiahou Dun?"

Zhang Xiu asked in great confusion.

"A person of average ability and limited skill, but extremely important."

"With him, it will be easy for us to cross the river."

Dong Yu smiled and explained casually.

"I don't think he has any ability, does he?"

"I knocked him off his horse with one blow of my halberd."

Lu Bu complained silently on the side.

"I've already said that my abilities are average and my level is limited."

"His value is not reflected in his literary or military abilities."

Dong Yu felt that he couldn't explain it clearly to them.

night

"Don't let me eat it alone."

"eat together."

Dong Yu felt his appetite improve a lot as he looked at Xiahou Dun, who was eating heartily and didn't consider himself a prisoner at all.

"It's okay, I'll just watch you eat."

"Thirsty?"

"Shall I have some wine brought over to help you with your meal and moisten your throat?"

Dong Yu looked at Xiahou Dun and asked.

"also."

"You're a nice person."

"I'll give you more later."

Xiahou Dun nodded and said with a smile.

"Someone, bring some wine."

"It has nothing to do with money. It's mainly about the feeling of connection."

Dong Yu smiled shyly.

"Then...then you can let me go?"

"It has nothing to do with money anyway."

Xiahou Dun put down his chopsticks and said seriously.

"That won't work."

"Although I don't care about money, your worth is here."

"If I don't want it, won't it make people think that you, Xiahou Dun, have such a low status in Cao's camp that even the enemy is too lazy to capture you?"

Dong Yu immediately shook his head and argued sophistry.

"What you said seems to make some sense."

"Tell me, how much money and food do you want before you let me go?"

Xiahou Dun pulled out the mud seal from the jar, poured himself a bowl of wine, and also poured a bowl for Dong Yu.

"I don't drink."

"I never drink in battle."

Dong Yu returned the bowl and declined politely.

"Oh, boring."

Xiahou Dun took back the wine bowl angrily and started drinking.

"Money and food are minor issues."

"But I have another condition. As long as you agree to it, I won't mind exempting you from the taxes and levies."

Dong Yu crossed his arms and said with a smile.

"What conditions."

Xiahou Dun sat up straight and asked seriously.

"I want a boat."

"A boat that can carry more than 10,000 soldiers across the river."

Dong Yu said with a stern expression.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Dun's face changed and he immediately became alert.

As Cao Cao's most trusted person, Xiahou Dun would never behave so fiercely.

Although his fighting power was average, he gained the title of the most powerful general in Cao's camp by relying on his status. No one in Cao's camp dared to fight him.

But in politics, Xiahou Dun was quite insightful.

"Hehe...I'd better give the money."

After a long time, Xiahou Dun chuckled.

"Why bother?"

Dong Yu's expression changed and he asked coldly.

"Meng De is Yuan Shao's ally. If I give you the ship, it would undoubtedly put Meng De in an unfair position."

"I can give you as much money as you want, but I, Xiahou Dun, will never cheat my brothers."

Xiahou Dun took a big gulp of wine and said seriously.

He is worthy of being Boss Cao’s most trusted person.

Lao Cao really loves him for a good reason.

If something really happens, Xiahou Dun will really not let Boss Cao down at all.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"

Dong Yu asked with a smile.

"I'm not afraid of anything."

"I've been killing people since I was fourteen, do you think I'm afraid?"

"If you want money, let me go. If you want a boat, you can take my head off now."

Xiahou Dun's face was serious, and he pointed at his head and shouted with his neck stiff.

"True loyalty."

"You, Xiahou Dun, are this."

Dong Yu nodded slightly and gave Xiahou Dun a thumbs up with admiration.
