Chapter 107: Accepting Lu Bu
Liu Bei, Liu Deran, and Sun Qian frowned.
"What is Lu Bu doing in Xuzhou at this time, is it asking for help!" Liu Bei muttered to himself.
"It doesn't feel like it, and there is no need to ask for it in person, it is estimated that it was driven out of Yanzhou by Cao Cao!" Sun Qian said.
"And what is he doing here?" Liu Deran asked.
"I guess I'm here to defect!" Sun Qian looked at Liu Bei at this time and said: "Once Lu Bu is defeated by Cao Cao, he will have nowhere to go, Yuan Shao in the north doesn't want him, Yuan Shu in the south doesn't want him, he has to go through Yuan Shu's territory to go to Jingzhou, naturally he can't go, to the west, it is the territory of Li Dao Guo Yan and those Xiliang people, he ran out of there, where do you dare to go, so I guess he came to defect, and Xuzhou is the closest to Yanzhou, and to a certain extent, he still has kindness to us, if it weren't for him, Xuzhou and we are estimated to have been wiped out by Cao Cao a long time ago! ”
"Well, I know, let's go, let's go meet him together!" Liu Bei stood up, patted his clothes, straightened some cuffs, and walked out.
"How many of them came?" Liu Bei asked the soldiers.
"About 5,000 cavalry, dressed differently from us, very similar to ethnic minorities!" The soldier replied.
"That's the Bingzhou Army, and the Bingzhou Iron Cavalry is famous all over the world!" Sun Qian said.
"There are two people at the gate of the city, one tall and one short, the tall one is burly, about the same as General Guan, maybe taller, he said his name is Lu Bu, the short one is thinner, his name is Chen Gong, the tall man only said his name, and then he didn't talk much, the words were all said by Chen Gong!"
"What did he say?"
"Say that he is your old friend, a friend from Yanzhou, bother me to talk or something!"
"Friends?" Liu Bei looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and said, "I've never seen Chen Gong before!" ”
"Hehe, indeed, this Chen Gong is quite good at talking, my lord, have you thought about whether you want to take them in?"
"This ...... Let's talk about it when we meet! Speaking of this, Liu Bei obviously quickened his pace.
"Lord Governor is here, open the door!" The soldier shouted.
With the opening of the gate, the two people riding on horses outside the door suddenly came into view, and when they saw Liu Bei personally coming out to greet them, Lu Bu and Chen Gong dismounted and walked over.
"General Lu, Chen Gongtai, it's really better to hear than to see, everyone says that there are two kinds of masterpieces in this world, one is the good horse red rabbit, and the other is Lu Bu, and now these two masterpieces are all combined into one, it is really rare!"
"Brother Xuande, it's a prize!" Lu Bu heard Liu Bei praise himself as soon as they met, so he said with a grin.
"Bongxian!" Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and said solemnly, then bowed to Liu Bei and said, "Liu Zhoumu, when I met you for the first time, I could feel a heroic spirit!" ”
"The public station is serious, please go inside!" Liu Bei stepped out of the way and made a gesture of "please inside".
"Good, please!" Lu Bu and Chen Gong arched their hands, and walked into Xiapi City with Liu Bei.
"In Xuzhou, this journey has been full of devastation, and Cao Cao did it!" Chen Gong said.
"Cao Cao attacked Xuzhou before, and wherever he went, he would kill wherever he went, and naturally it was like this!"
"Cao thief old horseman, I swear to kill him!" Lu Bu said hatefully.
"General Lu, I heard that you attacked Yanzhou before and fought with Cao Cao, I don't know what the current situation is?" Liu Bei asked.
"Hey~ Xuande, I'm ashamed to say it, this Cao thief is too insidious in fighting, I have fallen for his tricks several times, and now I have been driven out by him!" Lu Bu shook his head and said.
At this time, Chen Gonglian said: "It can't be said that he was driven out, before, Cao thief captured Xuzhou, my general saw that Cao thief was about to succeed, he didn't blame this bandit, so he led the army to attack Yanzhou, in order to buy time for Xuande you, later, Cao Cao returned to the army, Xuande you also have a chance to breathe in Xuzhou, so we don't need to stay in Yanzhou anymore, because Yanzhou is Cao Cao's nest after all, he is deep-rooted, and his power is intertwined, so we took the initiative to withdraw and no longer compete with it!" ”
Okay, you Chen Gong, obviously because you were greedy for the authority of Yanzhou to lure the wolf into the house, and now because you can't beat Cao Cao, you have to flee, and you said in a few words that everything is based on me, there is really you, Liu Bei thought.
"General Lu is righteous, Xuande is deeply grateful!" Liu Bei said with a smile.
to the living room.
"Everyone, please!" After Liu Bei was polite, he sat on the main seat.
"I don't know what General Lu is doing in Xuzhou today?" Liu Bei asked.
"Oh, yes, we'...... We are going to come to Xuande to you! After speaking, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong beside him again.
At this time, Chen Gong said: "Lord Zhou Mu, that's the case, after we fought with Cao Cao in Yanzhou, we completely withdrew from Yanzhou, because we haven't found a place to live for the time being, so we specially came to Lord Zhou Mu to think of a way!" ”
"General Lu, Gongtai, you don't have to be polite, when Lord Tao Qian Tao died, because he couldn't find someone who could entrust Xuzhou in Xuzhou, therefore, Liu Bei was not talented, so he temporarily took the post of Xuzhou pastor, at that time I said that if there are people with both ability and political integrity in Xuzhou in the future, Liu Bei will not be greedy for power, and will definitely take the initiative to serve the position of state pastor, ...... today" Speaking of this, Liu Bei stood up, walked to the side, picked up the state pastor seal, and walked in front of Lu Bu, Lu Bu and Chen Gong saw Liu Bei get up, also hurriedly stood up, "Today, General Lu came to Xuzhou, it can be said that the people of Xuzhou are the creation, General Lu is born brave, can help Han to destroy the thief, you can see that it is a righteous and awe-inspiring person, can help me attack Cao, you can see that General Lu is a courageous person, today this seal has finally found his true master, I implore General Lu to accept this seal, as the post of Xuzhou pastor!" ”
Lu Bu listened to Liu Beiqing's sincere expression, and immediately stretched out his hand embarrassedly to go to the seal, his mouth smiled from ear to ear, and said, "Brother Xuande, you are too polite!" ”
Who knew that Lu Bu was just about to pick it up, but he was pulled by Chen Gong behind him, and said: "Lord Zhou Mu, Feng Xian and I came here today, not because you want to covet Xuzhou as you think, now it seems that Lord Zhou Mu is suspicious of us, forgive me for offending, disturb, farewell!" As he spoke, he pulled Lu Bu out.
"Stay on the public platform!" Liu Bei, Liu Deran and Sun Gan hurriedly ran over and said: "Why did the public station say this, you really misunderstood me Liu Xuande, it is my sincere words that I gave up my position, there is no hypocrisy, and I will never doubt you!" ”
"Lord Zhou Mu, if you really trust us, then don't say that, we are just here to find a place to stay, and we don't think about it, the position of Lord Zhou Mu has been recognized by Yuan Shao, how can we not know!"
"Hey~" Speaking of this, Liu Bei handed the seal to Sun Gan on the side, and said: "Since this is the case, then Liu Bei will not force it, in the west of Xuzhou, there is a small pei, although the area is small, but it can also shelter from the wind and rain, I don't know if General Lu and Gongtaijie mind!" ”
"Ah, then thank you Lord Governor!" Chen Gong immediately smiled, arched his hand and said, and put his hand on Lu Bu as he spoke, Lu Bu understood and expressed his gratitude.
"Okay, I've already asked someone to hold a banquet, let's leave after eating!" Liu Bei made the action of "please inside".
"Okay, then we might as well be respectful!" Chen Gong just wanted to refuse, but Lu Bu on the side had already agreed, and then he took the initiative to take Liu Bei's hand and walked in with a swagger, Chen Gong, who was standing behind, looked at Lu Bu's back and had to shake his head.
......
"You let go of me, let go of me!" At this time, a woman was dragged into the city by a man outside the city of Xiapi.
"Let go of your uncle, don't shout!" The man was furious and shouted angrily at the woman.
When the people around saw this, they gathered around to watch, and privately pointed at the two of them and discussed, and when the man saw these people, his eyes immediately widened, and he shouted to the pedestrians: "Look at what, don't you see that there are five thousand iron horsemen outside the city, and then look at me and ask them to kill you!" ”
When passers-by saw this crazy person, they unconsciously took a few steps back.
"Come with me!" At this point, the man continued to pull the woman again.
"You brute, you go away!" The woman had no choice but to open her mouth and bite the man, but the man was in unbearable pain, so he had to let go of his hand and rub it with his other hand.
"Okay, you stinky bitch, see if I don't shoot you today!" The man raised his hand, and when he was about to start, he heard a scolding voice behind him: "Stop! ”
The man looked back, it was the general in Xiapi City, tall and majestic, this person was Guan Yu, the man thought to himself, if he didn't look carefully, he thought it was General Lu.
"Come on, in broad daylight, rob the people's daughter, take it for me!" Guan Yu pointed at the man with a long knife and said.
"My lord, my lord, I misunderstood my lord, everything was a misunderstanding!" When the man saw that the soldiers were coming to tie up, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "My lord, this woman is my wife, not a strange woman!" ”
"What is your name and where are you from?" He stepped forward and asked.
"The little one's name is Qin Yilu, she is my wife, her name is Du Shi, I am General Lu's subordinate, and I want to go into the city to find General Lu!"
"General Lu, but Lu Bu in the city?"
"Exactly, exactly, it is Lu Bu!"
At this time, Guan Yu saw that the woman lowered her head and said nothing, so he stepped forward and said, "Raise your head, let me ask you, if what he said is true!" ”
Du Shi saw that the general asked him, so he raised his head and looked at Guan Yu in front of him.
Who knows, when Guan Yu saw the woman in front of him, his heart suddenly tightened, and he was hot, such a beautiful woman, Guan Yu thought.
"General Qiyu, the people's daughter Du Shi, what Qin Yilu said just now is not wrong, I am indeed his wife!"
"That'...... So he just ...... Just now...... Why are you crying and crying like this? Guan Yu saw that Du Shi was so beautiful, and his heart couldn't help but ripple, and at this time, in front of her, he couldn't speak for a while.
"Just now he wanted to pull me into the city to serve General Lu!" Du Shi said calmly.
"Serving? Aren't you his wife? Guan Yu asked in surprise.
"He wants to be a sycophant, he wants to be promoted, he has no ability, so he wants me to serve his master, I didn't obey just now, that's it!"
After listening to Du's words, Guan Yu immediately became angry, he turned around, grabbed Qin Yilu's collar, lifted him up with one hand, and said angrily: "You horseman, you dare to do such a thing to your wife, it's so fucking disgusting, come on, hit me!" ”
Guan Yu threw him away, and Qin Yilu's whole person flew out, so painful that he screamed, "Ouch, roar~".
After receiving Guan Yu's order, the soldiers immediately surrounded him, punching and kicking Qin Yilu, Du Shi saw it, and immediately stepped forward, protected Qin Yilu, and shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight!" ”
"That's it!" Guan Yu said, waving his hand and motioning for the soldiers to retreat.
"He's done this to you, why do you still protect him so much!" At this time, Guan Yu was angry and jealous.
"Although he is cowardly, he is usually very good to me!" Du Shi pleaded with tears: "I beg the general to let us go!" ”
Guan Yu stepped forward and was about to reach out to help the woman, but who knows, as soon as Guan Yu's hand touched Du Shi, Du Shi immediately took it back.
Guan Yu had no choice but to give up, sighed, and said, "Qin Yilu, treat your wife well, don't do such a dirty thing again!" ”。
"Yes, yes, general, the little one must be remembered!" Qin Yilu knelt on the ground and promised again and again.
Guan Yu looked at the Du clan in front of him and said reluctantly: "Let's go!" ”
