Chapter 22 In the world, everyone with the last name Cao [Please read and ask for monthly votes]

"Huh? Does Lu Bu still want to send money?"

Dong Zhuo was stunned when he heard this, and was a little surprised and unable to react.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? The most powerful general doesn't need money. The most powerful general doesn't want to eat or support his wife and children?"

"When talking about friendship, you must also talk about money. Otherwise, if someone is doing a good job at Ding Yuan's place, why would they jump to you?"

Dong Zhuo nodded thoughtfully, weighed his fingers lightly on the table, and suddenly asked with some interest.

"You said it so clearly, aren't you afraid that I will bypass you and send money to Lu Bu?"

"Everyone has to pay for gold. I will give all the gold directly to Lu Bu. Without you as the middleman, I will save a horse. Why not?"

Cao Ang curled his lips disdainfully.

He crossed his legs and waved his hands while saying: "Gift-giving is also a technical job. If you don't carry a box of money arrogantly, others will definitely accept it."

"I will go with a box of money, and Lu Bu will introduce me into the palace, chat and laugh, and finally accept the money."

"You send someone with a box of money. Not only does Lu Bu want the money, he also has the person you sent beheaded and his head presented to Ding Yuan as a sign of loyalty."

"Of course everyone wants money, but whose money to take and how to take it are all matters of knowledge."

"If you don't believe me, you can give it a try, but the negotiation fell apart in the end. Don't blame me for not warning you in advance."

Cao Ang pretended to be very calm on the surface.

In fact, I was very panicked inside.

This stupid Dong Zhuo does have some brains, and he hit the critical point with just one sentence, which was also the weakest link in the deal initiated by Cao Ang.

That is, the relationship between him and Lu Bu is not even close to that of a dime. At best, it is just a chance meeting, and Lu Bu may not have seen him directly.

But Lu Bu is indeed a person who loves money by nature. If you really want to give him money, you will definitely be jealous on the spot.

So as long as Dong Zhuo has the courage to give it a try and ask someone to carry a box of money to recruit Lu Bu, he will find that he can succeed without Cao Ang.

Fortunately, Dong Zhuo didn't know this.

In Fatty Hei's heart, a fierce man like Lu Bu definitely has some integrity. It is impossible to accept everyone's money. Can someone who refuses no one like that become a peerless general?

So he just asked casually and had no intention of taking the risk.

This is a lack of information.

Cao Ang has a God's perspective, while Dong Zhuo is a player on the chessboard. The amount of information they possess is vastly different.

It’s really hard not to make money.

…

After hearing that Lu Bu would share half of the gold given to Cao Ang, for some reason, Dong Zhuo suddenly felt less uncomfortable.

It seems that if you give Cao Ang an extra penny, you will bleed him.

If you give the money to Lu Bu, Lu Bu will work for him in the future and become a member of the Dong Group. The total assets of the group will not change, but will be distributed to various subordinate employees.

Thinking about it this way makes me feel more comfortable.

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Dong Zhuo finally made a decision.

After filling the tea bowls in front of them, Dong Zhuo picked up the tea soup and signaled to Cao Ang.

"Replace wine with tea and drink a lot of this tea. Dong will be waiting for good news!"

Cao Ang was very happy.

Without saying a word, he picked up the bowl and finished it, then he raised his hand to Dong Zhuo and said with a smile: "I would like to ask my Lord to immediately send someone to count the gold, and prepare the red rabbit and horse. Within three days at most, Lu Bu will come to the account to surrender!"

Dong Zhuo was not an indecisive person.

Now that he had made up his mind, he would not waver any further. He quickly summoned his confidant and ordered him to go get the money.

While waiting.

The two people, the old and the young, who had previously looked down upon each other, were actually talking and laughing now.

Dong Zhuo seemed to have completely forgotten the humiliation Cao Ang had inflicted on him, and instead continued to enjoy himself.

And Cao Ang seemed to have forgotten the angry look when his father Cao Cao was furious in the palace and vowed to kill the Dong thief.

A bit of a cowardly attitude.

Of course, it is unknown what each of them is thinking in their hearts.

After chatting and laughing.

Dong Zhuo suddenly came forward with interest, pointed in the direction of Beigong and asked.

"Zixiu, let me put it bluntly, your behavior today is tantamount to helping me dig up the roots of the Han Dynasty."

"I am not a good person in the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. They even accuse me of usurping power and being rebellious. If you are so complicit with me, if people find out one day, you will definitely beat them up!"

"Don't you have any worries in your heart?"

Dong Zhuo had a fairly clear understanding of his situation and positioning, and knew what his image was in everyone's eyes, so he was more interested in Cao Ang's thoughts.

"Han Dynasty?"

"The Han family with the surname Liu is nothing!"

"If it doesn't hinder my interests, I will naturally be willing to serve as a member of the Han Dynasty. But if it delays my making money, it might as well ruin his life."

Dong Zhuo's eyes suddenly widened.

He looked at Cao Ang in surprise.

Damn it!

This is a wolf killer!

Although I am bold, I usually think about it in private, and I have never been so arrogant.

No wonder this kid dared to make me dismount and kneel down in front of the army. He made a fuss for a long time. It turns out he has always been such an arrogant person.

So arrogant!

I like!

As if he had found a confidant, Dong Zhuo laughed heartily and patted Cao Ang on the shoulder.

"Well said! Who has stipulated that people in this world must have the surname Liu? I think Dong is also acceptable, and Cao is also not a bad idea!"

"You are my favorite, have you ever thought about working under me?"

Dong Zhuo wanted to recruit Cao Ang.

This kid is very ambitious and knows how to get into trouble. As long as he controls it well, he will definitely save himself a lot of effort.

However, in Cao Ang's heart, he only had contempt for Dong Zhuo.

Why does the world have the surname Dong and the surname Cao? In this world, the only surname is Cao. What does it have to do with you, Dong Zhuo?

Of course, on the surface, Cao Ang still bowed his hand to Dong Zhuo politely and said with a wry smile.

"My father is a true, loyal and patriotic man who is loyal to the imperial court."

"I came to you secretly and introduced Lu Bu to defect to me. I have already violated his old man's taboo. If he finds out, I will probably be beaten to death."

"If I really become an official under Ming Gong, I should see my father carrying a sword and slashing me in the streets tomorrow."

Dong Zhuo laughed a little.

"General You Zhonglang... Hehe, what's the use of this poor official? If you serve me, I will be a general in the future."

"Forget it, since you don't want to, I won't force you to do anything. Of course, if you change your mind anytime, you can come to me at any time. I will never treat you badly."

That’s all.

Just then, a confidant came and knocked on the door. He said that a whole box of gold had been prepared and was placed outside the house. The red rabbit horse was also brought over from the stable.

Everything is ready, and now it's time for Cao Ang to get the money and do the work.
