Xuzhou, outside Xiaopei City, Liu Bei's camp.

Liu Bei, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, and Mi Zhu are all standing outside the camp gate now, because they are greeting one person - Lu Bu.

The 10th day has come.

Just as Zhang Fei expected, Ji Ling fought again on the fourth day.

Ji Ling is a martial artist after all, and he doesn't often think deeply about these things.

Of course, the main reason is that the lord is different.

Yuan Shu is famous, and he has a sense of pride, plus he has long had the ambition to be the emperor. Therefore, he did not regard his subordinates as brothers as Cao Cao, but as a very bureaucratic relationship between superiors and subordinates.

Although Ji Ling is a general, in Yuan Shu's heart, he can't reach the level of strategy.

Therefore, Ji Ling did not know about the secret alliance with Lu Bu.

It is precisely because of this that this stupid general, who has more than enough martial arts and insufficient intelligence, is so confused in the face of Zhang Fei's confusion.

In the end, Ji Ling, as Zhang Fei judged, chose to seek cause by force.

It's just that this time Zhang Fei didn't completely let him.

After handing over the horses, Zhang Fei exerted all his strength.

The speed of the sudden burst caught Ji Ling off guard, and his left wrist was cut.

In the eyes of Ji Ling's subordinates, this was just Zhang Fei's luck by taking advantage of Ji Ling's mistakes.

But only Ji Ling, who was in front of the enemy, knew - the moment before the hit, Zhang Fei pulled the spear back a foot, if he hadn't done so, then now Ji Ling's left hand would have been cut off.

As a result, Ji Ling, who had come to seek the reason, fell into even greater confusion.

Although he was slightly injured, he couldn't go into battle.

Zhang Fei used this method to drag Lu Bu just right.

……

At this meeting, although they were nominally allies, everyone shook hands. But in the bottom of my heart, both parties are very unhappy.

Lu Bu was disappointed that this Ji Ling was so incompetent, and Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were not damaged.

Liu Bei was disappointed that Lu Bu only brought such a small number of soldiers and horses - 1,000 infantry and 200 cavalry.

Looking at his posture, it doesn't look like he wants to join forces with himself to deal with Ji Ling.

After some discussion, Liu Beijun unanimously agreed that the purpose of Lu Bu's trip was only one - to persuade peace.

Of course, Lu Bu was not here to fight.

Yuan Shu has an appointment with him here, and as for Liu Bei, he can't do it himself.

Originally, in Lu Bu's plan, when he arrived, Liu Bei must have been defeated by Ji Ling. At that time, as soon as he appeared and resolved his crisis, Liu Bei owed himself a favor.

But now, Lu Bu really can't wait to mobilize an army to drive Ji Ling back directly.

In this situation, the lot of grain and grass he gave to Yuan Shu was in vain.

But after thinking about it, Lu Bu was not reckless to the point of making another enemy. Therefore, he just sent someone to secretly send a letter to Ji Ling to explain the plan this time.

Since Ji Ling is useless, then Lu Bu doesn't have to scruple a lot.

So, he formally extended an invitation to the two generals to reconcile in his tent.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Bei led Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who arrived from Xiaopei City, to Lu Bu's camp, while Ji Ling arrived a little earlier than them.

"Hehe, Xuande, Yunchang, Yide, you can be regarded as here." Lu Bu went up to greet him enthusiastically.

"I've seen Wen Hou." Liu Bei saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me," Lu Bu grabbed Liu Bei's hand, "Brother Xian, why are you and I so unfamiliar, don't you let outsiders laugh at you?" ”

Naturally, he said this to Ji Ling.

Ji Ling saw Lu Bu looking at him as he spoke, so he had no choice but to get up and reluctantly surrender his hand.

"I brought the army here, but General Lu asked me to suspend the army, how can I see my lord when I go back?" Ji Ling complained.

"My three brothers didn't provoke that Yuan Shu, why did he come to Xuzhou repeatedly to trouble my eldest brother!" Guan Yu said with some annoyance.

"Humph! This Xuzhou was originally ruled by Tao Qian, and Liu Bei forcibly occupied it without much effort, what is the reason! ”

"Phew! That was entrusted by Tao Thorn Shi on his deathbed, and my eldest brother couldn't shirk it several times, so he had to agree. Besides, what does this have to do with his Yuan Shu! ”

"The fourth and third princes of my family, after the famous family, how can it be seen that the territory of the Han Dynasty is stolen by unvirtuous people!"

"Who do you say is a person without virtue!"

"It's your eldest brother Liu Bei!"

"Wow!" When Guan Yu heard this, he suddenly stepped forward and raised his fist to hit Ji Ling.

Ji Ling also swung his fist and smashed it at Guan Yu's face.

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

The two fists were stopped abruptly.

Lu Bu was still smiling, looked left and right at both sides, and pressed the hands of the two with extraordinary strength.

"Hehe, you are all loyal ministers of the Han family, and it is a great fortune in the world to serve the country and the people wholeheartedly. There were a few holidays before, so I don't need to mention it again. Besides, it was I Lu Bu who invited you to come here today, if the two of you do it here, no matter which party is injured, it will be Bu's fault. ”

"But ......" Ji Ling wanted to say something, but when he saw Lu Bu's eyes flashing with murderous intent, he stopped with a cold shudder.

Zhang Fei saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Guan Yu back. After all, the eldest brother didn't speak, and he couldn't be too strong.

"What General Lu said is extremely true. In that case, I wonder what General Lu plans to do today? Liu Bei finally spoke.

"Xuande, to be honest, if Cao Cao is taken hostage to Xu County today, it will be useless for us to fight here. Whether it is you, me, or General Yuan, the first thing you should consider is how to rescue the Son of Heaven. General Ji, if you see how this is, I will repair a book and give it to you, and you can take it back and present it to your lord, who will definitely know the righteousness and will not blame you. ”

"General Lu's words are reasonable, but my lord may not be willing to give up." Ji Ling was still a little hesitant.

This idiot! Lu Bu cursed in his heart, why can't he understand people's words!

Just give you a step and you can go down, don't you have to make a mess!

Lu Bu sighed slightly and walked out of the tent.

The generals of both sides were puzzled, so they had to follow.

Outside the tent, the sun was shining, and the soldiers of Lu Bu's army were lined up in two rows.

Everyone saw Lu Bu say something to a soldier beside him, and then the soldier ran down.

Ji Ling was curious, and went up to ask, "General Lu, who are you?" ”

Lu Bu just turned his head and smiled at everyone.

After a while, the soldier ran back and handed Lu Bu a hard bow.

The other two soldiers inserted Lu Bu's Fang Tian painting halberd at the gate of the barracks more than 150 steps away.

Lu Bu opened the bow and opened the string, but before everyone could react, the arrow had already been shot.

I only heard a "ding" sound, and it hit the crescent branch of the halberd.

All the generals present were shocked and admired by this archery technique, and the soldiers in the battalion burst into cheers.

"General Lu is really proficient in all bows and horses, and he is really a hero." Ji Ling said in admiration.

Of course, he wouldn't know that Lu Bu's arrow really wanted to shoot at him.

Lu Bu just threw the bow back to the soldier, smiled at everyone again, and said, "I am not skilled in all bows and horses of the state soldiers, and my archery skills are not much better than them." ”

Of course, this is a humble word, Lu Bu's shooting technique, even in the entire Han territory, can only catch up with a few people like Huang Zhong and Hu Yi.

Lu Bu saw that everyone didn't understand, especially Ji Ling, so he deliberately turned his head to look at him and said, "You and others are all pillars of the country, and you shouldn't use troops for personal grievances." What's more, although Lu Bu is not taking advantage of his position now, he is also in charge of Xuzhou, and whoever wants to raise troops here is an enemy of me Lu Bu. ”

When Ji Ling heard this, he couldn't help but swallow.

Of course, Lu Bu also looked forward to this effect, and continued: "Lu Bu will put his words here today, if anyone thinks that I am boasting and wants to try the archery skills of my Hezhou cavalry, Lu Bu will be ready to wait!" ”

Having said this, if Ji Ling doesn't understand it anymore, he will be a real fool.

Lu Bu was also helpless, when he knew that he was righteous, if Ji Ling borrowed the steps to go down, he would not be so embarrassed.

It's good now, it could have been said that he gave up his personal grudges because of righteousness, but he had to make it because he was afraid of Lu Bu's martial arts.

Lu Bu sincerely felt sad for Ji from the bottom of his heart.

Ji Ling also understood a little, and naturally regretted it in his heart, but it was irretrievable, so he had to pick up the words that he threw away in front and said, "General Lu is serious. Since they are all serving the country, Ji naturally knows the righteousness. Then I will ask General Lu to repair a book, and I will bring it back to my lord to return to my father-in-law. ”

"Hehe, it's rare for General Ji to be so reasonable, so I don't know what Xuande wants?"

"Everything is up to the general."

Don't you need to ask! Zhang Fei almost didn't laugh, from beginning to end, it was just the eldest brother, Lu Bu and Yuan Shu acting with each other, and in the middle was a stupid Ji Ling who was played as a monkey.

"Okay, come on, set the wine! I'm going to have a drink with all the heroes! Lu Bu laughed and took Liu Bei and Ji Ling's hands and walked towards the tent.

……

After drinking, Ji Ling left with Lu Bu's handwriting.

But there are some things that should be asked.

"Xuande, Fang Cai Ji Ling is here, it's inconvenient for me to speak. When I came, I saw that there seemed to be a few more men in your camp? ”

Of course, Liu Bei knew that he would ask, so he replied, "Yes, General Mingjian." Just as the general said today, the Son of Heaven was held hostage by Cao Cao, and he was always thinking hard about countermeasures, so he gathered the army and horses, and was about to discuss with the general about sending troops, but he didn't want Yuan Shu to suddenly attack. ”

"It's rare that Xuande has such a heart, if the Son of Heaven knows, he will be very pleased."

"The general is overrated. Since the general is here today, just inform the general? ”

"I wonder how the recruitment of troops in Xuande is progressing?"

"Despite the announcement, the number of applicants is still insufficient, and it will take time to train new recruits."

Hehe, it's just a pretext. Lu Bu sneered in his heart.

"In that case, then I will also start recruiting troops and horses when I go back, and Xuande will sue me at any time if necessary."

"Thank you, General. Then I'll take my leave. ”

"Okay, then I'll send Lu Bu not far away."

……

Looking at the back of Liu Bei's three brothers leaving, Lu Bu suddenly felt a little lonely.

In this world, Liu Bei is so lucky that he has always had such a loyal person by his side.

And he, Lu Bu, has fewer and fewer people who can be trusted......
