Chapter 5 Idealism in the World 9

"Mi Zhu! How dare you come here! My eldest brother treats you well, why do you want to take refuge in Lu Bu! ”

Zhang Fei was furious and rushed towards Mi Zhu, who was walking into the tent.

"Yide is slow," Jian Yong grabbed him and looked at Mi Zhu, "Zizhong must have a reason, it's not too late to do it after listening." ”

Of course, Zhang Fei is not really annoyed, but some scenes always have to be performed. He pretended to be very angry, shook off Jian Yong's hand and sat aside.

"Ken and willing to listen to me?" Mi Zhu smiled slightly, stared at Jian Yong and asked.

"Jian just believes in Zizhong's character, so he is willing to hear about it."

"To tell you the truth, I am here to preserve the strength of the lord and save the lord."

"Oh?" Guan Yu was puzzled on the side, "How do you say this?" ”

"The lord was attacked by Lu Bu and Yuan Shu at this time, and there was no city to rely on, which was very critical. Therefore, I pretended to take refuge in Lu Bu and plotted to accept the lord for him, and he had agreed, so the lord was subordinate to him, and if Yuan Shu wanted to attack me again, Lu Bu could not sit idly by. The lord is aggrieved for the time being, and he can be eliminated in the future. ”

"Heh, I just don't know if you're sincere or fake!" Zhang Fei was already wearing a black face.

"Third brother, I also believe that Zizhong is a human being, so I have to doubt it! Zizhong, then I bother you to go again, go and tell Lu Bu, and say that I, Liu Bei, am willing to surrender. Liu Bei stepped forward and held Mi Zhu's hand and said.

This is what Mi Zhu admires about Liu Bei, even if he is in danger, his hands are still very stable and not flustered at all.

"Okay, then the lord will wait here, and Mi Zhu will return immediately. No, the lord also asked to withdraw his troops immediately, let Yuan Shu occupy Guangling, and do not engage him before surrendering to Lu Bu. Mi Zhu is still not at ease.

"Thank you Zizhong for reminding me, then I'll collect my troops and rush to Xiapi."

The discussion was decided, Mi Zhu immediately got on the horse and rushed back, and Liu Bei also ordered to pack up.

……

Both sides are secretly battling.

Time passes, and when we say goodbye, the guest and the host are transposed.

Lu Bu and his subordinates stood under the city gate so casually, no one was wearing armor, and Gao Shun beside him was holding the Xuzhou seal letter in his hand.

"Xuande, you're back."

"Liu Bei, the general of the defeated army, has seen Wen Hou." Liu Bei bowed his hand very respectfully, except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, everyone else also saluted.

"Xuande, why is this?" Lu Bu feigned surprise.

"Now Wenhou is the lord of Xuzhou, and he can't prepare for defeat......"

"Why did Xuande say this? Gao Shun handed over the letter to Xuande. ”

Gao Shun agreed, then stepped forward with the seal letter and handed it to Liu Bei.

"The previous time was just that Bu heard that there were soldiers rebelling in Xiapi City, and Yide Xian Brother happened to be drunk, so Bute led his troops to suppress it, but fortunately he snatched the seal back. Now that Xuande has returned, he will naturally return to Zhao. Lu Bu smiled and patted Liu Bei's shoulder.

However, Liu Bei shrank back.

"It's not a secret, Bei Zai intended to cede Xuzhou to Wen Hou, and now that the seal is in the hands of Wen Hou, that is the will of heaven. Wen Hou did not refuse, so he asked for the right to lead the lord of Xuzhou. ”

"How does this make! I was supposed to save Pi, but instead I became an unrighteous person who seized the city, and I couldn't do it. Lu Bu pretended to shirk.

"If Wen Hou doesn't agree, he will abandon the people of Xuzhou and be ashamed to live, so please kill himself in front of Wen Hou."

As he spoke, Liu Bei suddenly pulled out his sword and slashed at his neck.

Liu Bei's moment was indeed sudden, and ordinary people couldn't react at all. But Zhang Fei had already assured him the night before that Lu Bu would definitely be able to stop it, so he had to act fully.

And Lu Bu also knew that this sword was testing himself, but he did have a moment to hope that Liu Bei could die like this.

"Smack!"

In the end, Lu Bu's hand still stopped Liu Bei's sword at the last moment.

For ordinary people, it is already extremely fast, but for Lu Bu, there is still time to think.

"Xuande! Why should you be! Alas, then, then I will lead this Xuzhou herd, wait to drive away Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses, and return the letter. ”

"Wen Hou doesn't have to, if you want to prepare a cloth background, how can you be the lord of a state. Today, I am fortunate to be able to hand over the letter to Wenhou, and I feel deeply at ease. From today onwards, we will be at the disposal of Wen Hou. As he spoke, Liu Bei motioned to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The two reluctantly hugged their fists.

Lu Bu also returned the salute here.

Chen Gong on the side didn't speak, because he had already told Lu Bu what he should say.

Moreover, he also knew that Lu Bu's heart at the moment was very disgusted with this kind of hypocritical scene.

The head of the fierce soldiers, the heart of the world. If the world is still like this, let alone troubled times?

……

However, since we still have to cooperate, there will be no less hypocrisy in the future.

It's like tonight's banquet, the two parties who want to eradicate each other still have to get along "in harmony".

"Come, Xuande, I'm sorry for you with this glass of wine. Drink this cup to the full, and when I have placed my subordinates properly, I will send troops to fight Yuan Shu. ”

This is not a lie, since Lu Bu is now the lord of Xuzhou, he cannot allow others to arbitrarily seize the territory.

In fact, Lu Bu had already sent someone to the imperial court this morning to lead the Xuzhou pastor. Therefore, even if Liu Bei receives the seal letter today, he will return it to Lu Bu in a few days.

At the same time, Lu Bu also ordered Hao Meng to return to Xiaopei to pick up Diao Chan, and let Zang Ba continue to garrison Xiaopei, while Zhang Liao still defended Zhao Yun.

Counting it, they should have arrived a long time ago.

Liu Bei drank all the wine, and bowed his hand slightly to Lu Bu: "I can't prepare enough wine, so I retired first, thank you Wenhou for your hospitality." ”

As he spoke, he staggered to his feet. His subordinates also hurriedly got up to say goodbye, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei understood, and immediately stepped forward to help.

"Since this is the case, then Xuande will go back to rest earlier, and the cloth will not be forced to stay."

At such a dinner, Lu Bu was also very uncomfortable. If the wine is not drunk with the right person, it tastes like bile.

"Multi-...... Thank you Wenhou. Liu Bei pretended to be drunk and was thrown out.

When the figure of Liu Bei and his party disappeared, Lu Bu slowly put down the wine glass, stood under the eaves with his hands behind his back, and sighed at the night sky.

"Feng Xian, what's the trouble?" Chen Gong also said very little at the banquet, and at this time, there were no outsiders, so he returned to normal.

"At the beginning, your strategy was to chase Liu Bei, end Yuan Shu, and resist Cao Cao. But now, we are uniting with Liu Bei to resist Yuan Shu. Are we missing out on a strong reinforcement? ”

"Hehe, Feng Xian has been thinking too much, in fact, I am also about to discuss this matter with you. The reason why Yuan Shu wanted to occupy Xuzhou was nothing more than to take the baggage. As long as it is fed, Yuan Shu, a wild dog with no ambitions, will be satisfied and form an alliance with our army. ”

"You mean ......"

"Not bad. The baggage of the Yellow Turban Grain Depot has now been exhausted in Xiaopei, even if we give him some, we still have a surplus. ”

"I'm afraid that he will be insatiable, let him know that Xiao Pei is well-prepared, is it wise?"

"He will not know about it, he will only know that the burden given to him is saved by us from our own meager provisions. In this way, he will definitely be more willing to ally with our army. ”

"Won't Liu Bei leak the news over there?"

"Yuan Shu is a little scheming. Feng Xian thinks he will believe in us who gave him his money, or Liu Bei, who is his enemy? A sneer hung on the corner of Chen Gong's mouth.

"The fortunate thing for the general is to meet a wise man like Gongtai."

"The good fortune of a strategist is to meet a lord who is willing to speak like Feng Xian."

With that, the two looked at each other and smiled.

This is a confidant in troubled times......

After a long time, Lu Bu restrained his smile, turned his head to look west, and stopped talking.

There, there is also a person who has always cared about himself......

————————————————

At this time, Xiao Pei was not calm.

Zhang Liao went out to patrol, and the command in the city completely relied on Zang Ba alone.

Judging from the news sent back from Lu Bu's side, apart from Zhao Yun's men, Liu Bei has no other hidden power.

Then his side only needs to consolidate the city defense, and when Lu Bu's side is properly arranged, some of the men will be transferred back.

However, the unexpected happened.

There was a fire in the city.

If it were in normal times, Zang Ba might only send some people to check if it was caused by the people making rice. But today, he didn't dare to be careless.

After arranging the arming matters, Zang Ba hurriedly rushed over with a team in person.

The fire was a private house not far from the city gate, but due to the wind, it had spread to nearby houses.

Zang Ba was relieved at this time, as long as someone didn't deliberately set the fire.

However, his heart, which he had just laid down, was raised again, for just as he was ordering the soldiers to help put out the fire, a fire broke out in another place some distance from here.

Zang Ba began to feel uneasy, and he could only hope that it was a coincidence.

And the third fire completely shattered his illusions.

What kind of coincidences happen three times in a row?

Zang Ba immediately gave an urgent order to search the whole city, and there was an enemy invasion.

It's just that, with the speed of these soldiers in the city, how can they keep up with Zhang Feng?

The people who ran on foot in the Yefeng Northern Hall were comparable to Mo Yue's speed, which was not something that these ordinary soldiers could understand.

This was a plan that was decided after a detailed investigation, with Zhang Feng causing a riot in the city and Duan Xuan going to kidnap Diao Chan, that is, Ren Ying.

And Diao Chan himself, who was unclear about everything that was happening outside, was going out at this time because of Ling Yuan's "request".

Although it was a little strange why Ling Yuan proposed to go out for a walk at night, judging from her recent performance, this little girl should have no contact with Ye Feng.

If you are entangled in one point and confused by appearances, people will no longer be able to jump out and see the overall situation, and Diao Chan has begun to neglect to think about the dangers in the city because he only focuses on Ling Yuan.

The carriage that Duan Xuan rented, as well as the drugs he had obtained from Long Xuan before, plus his spider silk, were all the tools for this hijacking. And, of course, Ling Yuan.

Xiaopei has never had a curfew, so even at night, it is very lively.

Duan Xuan sat quietly on the carriage and stopped in the alley waiting for the hunt.

Passers-by don't pay attention to him, and anyone thinks of this plain-looking, plainly dressed man as a coachman.

Only a pair of indifferent eyes looked at this side from time to time at the other end of the alley, but because of the car, Duan Xuan didn't know that he had also become a prey.

And the person who was going to hunt him was the only man in the city who was faster than Zhang Feng - Long Shuai, Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, the eleventh sages of the Hebei General Hall of the previous night.
