"Lord Governor, you finally took in Lu Bu and them!" Lü Bu led his army to leave Xiapi and stood on the city wall watching their Sun Qiandao.

"Lu Bu is a capricious person, brother, in fact, to be honest, I don't understand why you took him in!" Liu Deran crossed his hands on his hips and continued: "Words, we still nominally defected to Yuan Shao's camp, and Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's ally, is it appropriate for us to take in an enemy of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao so openly?" ”

"I haven't thought about these questions, it's just that for us to come, we have to accept this Lu Bu, and we have to accept it if we don't accept it, all in all, it's definitely better to collect it than not to collect it!" Liu Bei stood in the middle of the two Rao, looked at Liu Deran and then at Sun Gan.

"Dare to ask Da Rao's thoughts, I would like to hear about it!" Sun Qiandao.

"We have just commanded Xuzhou, our foothold is not stable, and the internal army is almost all Danyang soldiers, do you think such an army is good?"

"It's really not good!" Sun Qian shook his head and said.

Liu Deran also shook his head, but there were no words.

"I also know the harm of this, now we have appeased the Danyang soldiers well, they have not moved, if we really provoke them, these Danyang soldiers will not rebel against us, and then we will not even have the soldiers to balance them, you think it's sad, you don't think it's terrible!" Liu Bei's face was solemn, and he was helpless in his heart.

"Does Da Rao mean that he wants to use Lu Bu's merger army to balance the Danyang soldiers inside Xuzhou?" Sun Qian nodded at the moment and muttered to himself: "It is indeed a way!" ”

"Besides, the situation we are facing now is not optimistic, there are too many external enemies, because of the fear of Yuan Shao's face, Cao Cao does not dare to attack us openly now, but what about Yuan Shu? Although Lu Bu only has 5,000 soldiers and horses, his 5,000 merger state army is brave and good at fighting, and it can be said to be invincible on the battlefield! ”

"If Lu Bu can be used by us, this is naturally great, but if he harbors a covetous heart, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the room!" Sun Gan said: "Besides, Lu Bu's character is not good, this is well known, if anyone becomes his boss, he will be unlucky, Ding Yuan became his leader, and then he died; Dong Zhuo became his leader, and then Dong Zhuo died; Wang Yun cooperated with him, and then Wang Yun was killed by Li Dao Guo Yan, he is not only a harmful spirit, but also a broom star! ”

"The benefits of the next one, there is no so-called absolute risk-free, let's just keep an eye on it, besides, we are still pinching his food, he can't be arrogant!"

"That's right, it's a good way to subdue him!" Sun Qian nodded.

"Deran, give food in the future, just like Lord Tao!" Liu Bei looked at Sun Qian, and then at Liu Deran, and Liu Deran understood.

"Got it!" The corners of Liu Deran's mouth rose slightly, and he said.

"However, how can we explain Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao wanted to kill Lu Bu several times, Cao Cao didn't have to, his life almost died at the hands of Lu Bu, we accepted Lu Bu, it is equivalent to offending the two princes at the same time!"

"In this world, there are no eternal friends, no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, now, Lu Bu is so far away from Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao is beyond the reach of the whip, since the whip is beyond his reach, then why do you need to kill Lu Bu, keep Lu Bu, he is useful!" A slight smile appeared at the corner of Liu Bei's mouth.

"What's that?"

"Although Cao Cao is Yuan Shao's ally, but in the current situation, Gongsun Zan is still breathing, Yuan Shu is about to die, Cao Cao has established his hegemony in the Central Plains, do you think this is what Yuan Shao wants to see, he doesn't want to see Cao Cao develop so fast, he wants Cao Cao to live, so that he can help him block Yuan Shu in the south, but he also doesn't want Cao Cao to be strong, because Cao Cao's strength also represents Yuan Shao's weakness, so Yuan Shao will not have a hatred towards Cao Cao's enemies now, but will start to win over!"

"Yuan Shao? What about Cao Cao's side? ”

"Cao Cao doesn't have enough strength to compete with Yuan Shao now, in order to take care of Yuan Shao, he doesn't dare to start a war with us now, I estimate that he has now consolidated the position of Yanzhou, and the next step is to develop south, and Yuzhou under Yanzhou will become his object!"

"Then we still have a little respite, what should we do now?"

"Attack Yuan Shu!" Liu Bei said calmly: "If we attack Yuzhou, this will directly offend Cao Cao, and when the time comes, he will jump over the wall in a hurry, and it will be uncertain to attack us directly, let's not touch Yuzhou now!" ”

"I agree with Da Rao's idea!"

"I agree!"

"However, soldiers, national affairs, such an important matter still needs to be discussed by everyone, how to fight, when to fight, and what kind of internal arrangements should be made, these are all issues to consider!"

"Xuande, you are here, I went to look for you in the mansion just now, but I didn't find anyone, I asked the servant to know that you came to the south gate!" Jian Yong walked up the stairs of the city wall.

"Oh, Xianhe, Lu Bu has come to join us today, in order to balance the Danyang soldiers and increase his strength, I will agree!" Liu Bei turned around and saw Jian Yongdao.

"Well, I think it's feasible, it's just that Lu Bu is difficult to raise, we still need to pay more attention to him!"

"This is nature!"

"I'm here to hand over this letter to you, it's from Kong Rong, the minister of Beihai State!" Jian Yong handed the letter to Liu Bei and said, "Look at it! ”

Liu Bei took the letter, opened it and looked at it, roughly skimmed it from beginning to end, and said: "Kong Beihai expressed his affirmation of my position as the pastor of Xuzhou, and expressed his blessings, and also thanked me for the three thousand soldiers and horses I lent him last time!" ”

"Hehe, three thousand soldiers and horses exchanged a letter, it's not worth it, the three thousand soldiers and horses can be returned!" Liu Deran said with a disdainful face.

"Three thousand soldiers and horses, it must be gone, but he can give us political support at this time, which is also very good, how can we reply?"

"I propose that we serve as the assassin of Qingzhou on the table of Kong Rong, so as to pull an alliance for us!" Jian Yong spoke out of his heart.

"What do you think?" Liu Bei took the letter, looked at Liu Deran, and then looked at Sun Qiandao.

"We have already accepted people like Lu Bu as allies, Kong Rong is naturally fine, there can be one more, the more allies, the more secure, besides, we are kind to Kong Rong, if we encounter difficulties in the future, he will not stand idly by!" Liu Deran said.

"I also agree, Kong Beihai is in the north of Xuzhou, if we attack Yuan Shu in the future, the surrounding neighbors must have a good relationship, otherwise, we will know when to insert a kick in our hands!" Sun Qian agreed.

"That's okay, Xianhe, I'll leave the matter of replying to Kong Beihai to you, a few more polite words!" Liu Bei handed the letter to Jian Yong.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll reply now!" Jian Yong took the letter, turned around and left.

"Brother, I'm also leaving, I also have some things there, I haven't done it in Tuntian in the plains, I'm going to finish him in Xuzhou, hehe!" Liu Deran walked away.

"Work hard, Deran, Xuzhou's food depends on you!"

"Got it, brother!" Liu Deran turned around and agreed.

"Let's go too, Gongyou!" Liu Bei crossed his hands behind his back and walked down the city tower.

"Gongyou, I have always had a question when I came to Xuzhou, that is, why when I first arrived in Xuzhou, Mr. Mi Zhu and you will invite me to get together, I remember last time, although we discussed a way to counter Cao Cao's rear base camp, but the discerning people know that I actually did not participate in the substantive discussion, the whole process seems to be discussed by you, and I am just a witness!"

"Hehe, in fact, I don't know much about this, then, after Mr. Mizhu participated in the battle, he called me over, and what I discussed with me was this rebellion activity, he was with me at the time, this matter was helped by nobles, I hope I can help him, he also, after a while, Liu Bei, the minister of the plains, is coming, and he also told me to win over you, my lord!"

"How did he know I was coming, and why did he support me when I hadn't seen him before?" Liu Bei listened to Sun Qian's words and asked in surprise.

"That's right, I was the same with him at the time, he was told by the nobleman, as for who the nobleman was, he was a daughter of his friend, I knew that I didn't know him as soon as I heard it, so I didn't ask again, and then you really came, so I was more confident that Xuzhou would definitely defeat Cao Cao this time!"

"Is there such a person down there, an unknown prophet?"

"This ...... I don't know, maybe it's a person who is very familiar with the current situation, as soon as he saw Cao Cao coming to attack Xuzhou, he analyzed that you will come to save Xuzhou! Sun Qian joked, although he said this, even he didn't believe it.

"Hmm!" Liu Bei didn't answer Sun Gan's words, and said thoughtfully: "Gongyou, you go get busy first, I haven't seen Zizhong for a long time, I'll go to Zizhong to have a look!" ”

"Yes, yes, my lord, then I'll go first!"

"Good! Go ahead! Liu Bei said with a smile, and then his face showed a puzzled expression.

There must be someone behind this who is making trouble, Mi Zhu and I didn't know each other before, how could he be so heart-wrenching about himself, and besides, the person behind this seems to be monitoring him all the time, and he even knows what he is going to do.

He walked along the street, straight to Mi Zhu's home, since he served as the state pastor, Mi Zhu has always been conscientious, diligent, no excesses, anyway, he is a benevolent person, so Liu Bei feels very good about him, moreover, he is still the first person who supported himself as the pastor of Xuzhou, and his heart has a good impression of him.

It was already late, and the pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and the houses on both sides were closed.
