System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

For Lu Bu, capturing the enemy general Xiahou Dun by accident was more practical than trampling on some fertile fields, wasn't it?

He still remembered that he had exchanged Xiahou Dun for 50,000 grains last time.

This time we captured Xiahou Dun and three thousand Cao soldiers, so we must exchange them for at least one hundred thousand or eighty thousand stones of silver.

Yes, it is like that.

It must be one hundred thousand or eighty thousand, otherwise Xiahou Dun will never be released.

With a smile on his face, Lu Bu returned to Pu River.

"General, have you gained anything?"

Cui Yan looked at Lu Bu and asked.

"No."

"They surrounded the fertile fields with dry firewood and weeds and burned them. We couldn't destroy the fertile fields at all."

Lu Bu shook his head and said a little depressed.

"Alas, this trip is in vain. I didn't gain anything."

"Let's go back."

Cui Yan sighed, held the reins with his left hand, stepped on the stirrup with his left foot and mounted the horse.

"Cui Jigui, you don't have to say that. Didn't we capture General Xiahou Dun of Cao's army?"

"This is no better than destroying some good farmland."

"Last time we used him to exchange for 50,000 shi of grain."

"With those soldiers this time, we can definitely get a few hundred thousand."

"If you do it, you will definitely make money."

Lu Bu comforted him, his heart still immersed in the joy of the harvest.

One hundred thousand or eighty thousand is enough for them to eat for a long time.

"what are you thinking about?"

"Xiahou Dun surrendered, he is not a prisoner."

"There's no way Cao Cao could redeem Xiahou Dun when he's so short of food."

"This is a money-losing product."

Cui Yan looked at Lu Bu speechlessly and retorted.

"impossible."

"How could that be? Look, I'll do it for you."

"I'll write a letter to Cao Cao when I get back."

Lu Bu still didn't believe it, so he kicked his horse's belly and rode towards Chenliu.

"Write it."

Cui Yan shook his head.

Some people will not turn back until they hit a wall.

It's no use trying to persuade him.

Wouldn't it be better to have that time to think about the next strategy?

When it got dark, Lu Bu and others returned to Chenliu.

He brought Xiahou Dun to the mansion where he was staying.

"Brother Lu, I'm hungry."

Xiahou Dun looked at Lu Bu and spoke.

"Then what do you want to eat?"

Just as Lu Bu was about to pick up his pen to write a letter, he heard Xiahou Dun say this, so he put down his brush and asked casually.

After all, he is a walking convoy of 100,000 dan of food and fodder, so I can't treat him unfairly.

"I want to eat chicken."

Xiahou Dun licked his lips and stared at Lu Bu.

"..."

“I usually can’t bear to do that.”

"never mind."

"Would you like it grilled, steamed, or boiled?"

Lu Bu pursed his lips and finally compromised with 100,000 shi of grain.

"Anything is fine. I'm not picky. If possible, all three are fine."

A smile appeared on Xiahou Dun's face.

"Let's bake one."

"Come here, roast a Kun for my brother Xiahou."

Lu Bu glared at Xiahou Dun and gave orders in a bad mood.

"promise!"

The servant responded immediately.

"I've roasted the chicken for you, too. Do you have to cooperate with me?"

Lu Bu turned around and looked at Xiahou Dun and asked.

"Cooperate with all your strength."

"Brother Lu, just give your orders."

Xiahou Dun nodded very kindly.

"Write a letter to Cao Cao asking for help."

"Just ask him to use 100,000 dan of grain to redeem you and those Cao soldiers."

Lu Bu handed the pen to Xiahou Dun and gave instructions.

"Okay, keep it on me."

Xiahou Dun nodded, took the brush and began to write on the brocade.

Lu Bu, who was standing by, watched the contents of the letter throughout.

This sight made Lu Bu very happy.

Lu Bu: "Brother, what you wrote is too tragic."

Xiahou Dun: "If I don't write a more tragic story, will Cao Cao happily give you food and grass?"

Lu Bu: "Good brother, you are really cooperative."

Xiahou Dun: "That's right, you can't eat the chicken for free."

Lu Bu had never seen such an easy-going prisoner.

Seeing Xiahou Dun's cooperation, Lu Bu's heart softened.

"Come on, go cook another chicken and steam another one so my brother can have enough to eat."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Bu immediately fulfilled Xiahou Dun's little wish.

"Brother, you are so kind. Thank you."

Xiahou Dun was moved and held Lu Bu's hand, expressing his gratitude.

"You deserve it, brother."

Lu Bu patted Xiahou Dun's hand and comforted him.

In Lu Bu's view, as long as 100,000 stones of food and grass arrived, how many chickens would he have to bring back?
