A few days later, Lu Bu and his entourage entered the boundary of Xiangyang.

Xiangyang is located in the south of the Han River, with fertile soil and dangerous mountains and rivers. Although it does not have the majesty of the imperial capital, it has hundreds of miles of mountains and rivers, and it is the most important economic, trade, transportation and cultural center of the Central Plains.

After arriving here, Lu Bu found that Jingxiang's richness was far better than Yangzhou!

In agriculture, in particular, there are endless wheat and rice paddies everywhere, and in autumn, people work in groups to harvest wheat and ears of rice.

This kind of situation is difficult to see in other states and counties.

"Yangzhou is good, wouldn't it be better to hear Jingxiang..." Standing on the official road, looking at the endless rice fields, Lu Bu sighed.

Li Yuanba carried the double hammer with an expressionless face.

The Dragon Guards took care of Sun Ce.

Gan Ning walked over and said, "General Lu is the first time to come to Jingzhou, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Gan Ning said: "The nine counties of Jingxiang, also known as Xiangyang, Nanyang, and Jiangxia, are the focus of governance. Because all the gate valve clans are in these three counties, of course they have to govern their own places well. ”

"Makes sense."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "This place, sooner or later, will be mine." ”

Gan Ning was stunned for a moment, with a look of adoration on his face.

After watching for a while, it began to drizzle.

"General Lu, there is a teahouse in front, let's go take shelter from the rain."

"Okay."

Under the leadership of Gan Ning, he came to a small wild tea house.

This teahouse, the place is not big, but it is very exquisitely built, divided into two areas, the outside is a place for ordinary guests to drink tea, and there are private rooms inside, but the doors and windows are closed, if you don't look carefully, it is difficult to find.

"The sky is like a round cover, and the land is like a chess game; The world is divided into black and white, and they fight for honor and disgrace: the honored are at peace, and the humiliated are at peace. Longzhong is secluded, and high sleep is insufficient.... "Melodious singing came from the teahouse.

When Lu Bu heard this voice, he felt very familiar.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally remembered. In the TV series, when Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang, he met a woodcutter, didn't he sing this song.

"Hehe... Interesting. ”

Lu Bu suddenly laughed.

"Why is the general laughing?" Gan Ning asked.

"Nothing, nothing, let's continue to drink tea." Lu Bu waved his hand and said in his heart: "Longzhong is secluded, and it is not enough to sleep high... Zhuge Liang has always wanted to be a master, but he has no chance. Teach people to sing every day, and tell others that they are lying in the middle of the dragon. Hurry up and recruit me. ”

"Xingba, what is this place?" Lu Bu asked.

"Longzhong."

Lu Bu nodded and said, "Let's go inside to drink tea, and ask the people inside where Wollongong is." ”

"General, please."

Lu Bu stood up. I guessed in my heart that the person sitting in it and singing must know Zhuge Liang. Maybe it's still a celebrity, and you have to pay a visit.

"You're all waiting outside."

"No." The Dragon Guard soldier replied.

Lu Bu took Gan Ning and Li Yuanba, opened the door curtain, and walked in.

I saw that in a window position, there were three scribes with extraordinary appearances, cooking wine and singing at the same time.

Lu Bu stepped forward and saluted: "Dare to ask you, do you know Mr. Kong Ming?" ”

"You are?" The three of them stopped singing and looked at Lu Bu together.

"In Gerobu."

"Oh... It turned out to be General Lu, disrespectful and disrespectful. The crowd stood up and saluted.

There is a detail here, before Lu Bu did not report his identity, the three people opposite were all arrogant. After reporting his identity, he changed somewhat, but there was still arrogance and contempt on his face, and he didn't answer Lu Bu's question.

"My father-in-law asks you, do you recognize it... What hole hole what sir? Li Yuanba asked.

"Don't be rude."

Stopping Li Yuanba, Lu Bu's eyes turned to the three people opposite, and said, "I haven't asked for advice yet, who are you...?" ”

"In Shimoshi Guangyuan."

"Meng Gongwei."

"Cui Zhouping."

The three of them saluted again.

Hearing these three names, Lu Bu showed ecstasy on his face, and arched his hand: "I have heard that there are many famous people in Jingxiang, and now I have to see Gao Xian, and I am fortunate to have three lives." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare..." All three are humble.

Cui Zhouping asked: "Has the general heard of us?" ”

"Of course." Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please take a seat, let's talk slowly." ”

"General, please."

Lu Bu sat down with his sleeve robe and said, "The three are the senior disciples of Mr. Shuijing, and they have the talent to stabilize the world, how can Bu not know." This time I went to Jingzhou, just to visit you and ask you to go out of the mountain and help you. ”

"Thank you, General, for your praise."

"We are all idle clouds and wild cranes, and we have no intention of going out."

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the general."

After the three of them finished speaking, they smiled knowingly.

Lu Bu was not angry or discouraged. Because in the official history, this is the kind of plot. Liu Bei thinks that the three of them are outstanding, and they also call themselves the emperor's uncles, standing at the top of morality, and most importantly, they will cry. The result was rejected.

It can be seen that Cui Zhouping, Meng Gongwei, and Shi Guangping really have no intention of career.

Of course, Lu Bu also has a way to deal with such a person.

He is ready to use his talents to make these three celebrities stunned...

"You should know that I started my army from Xuzhou..." After Lu Bu sorted out his language, he began to speak.

At this moment, outside the teahouse, there was a noisy sound.

Lu Bu frowned, got up and opened the window. I found that all the soldiers of the Dragon Guard Army outside were gathered together, as if they were facing a great enemy, and standing opposite them were Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei who looked at the thatched cottage three times.

"It's strange, Liu Bei visited Zhuge Liang, isn't it the twelfth year of Jian'an, it's only been four years of Jian'an. Is there any mistake? Lu Bu was puzzled in his heart, closed the doors and windows, and said to Li Yuanba: "Yuanba, go out and shut up those three people." ”

"Yes."

Li Yuanba carried the golden hammer and swaggered out of the house.

Gan Ning followed.

"Three, let's continue talking." Lu Bu's face was calm, and he continued: "Bu raised troops from Xuzhou, drove away Liu Bei, defeated Cao Cao, and eliminated Yuan Shu. If you are willing to go out of office, you will be treated as a national soldier, and only a great sage like you can make the people of Xu Yang and the two states have enough food and clothing.... ”

Lu Bu crackled and said a lot.

But the three people on the opposite side didn't seem to be in a state, and they all stood up from time to time and looked outside the teahouse.

After Lu Bu finished speaking, Shi Guangyuan said: "General Lu, we really have no intention of pursuing a career, please be smart." ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse.... Lu Bu smiled, got up and said, "I see that you are very interested in knowing, what is going on outside, let's go outside first and talk about it when we come back, how about it?" ”

"Okay, good....

The faces of the three of them were a little anxious and worried, and they got up and followed Lu Bu out of the house.

Lu Bu was puzzled in his heart, could it be that Shi Guangyuan and the others had long known that Liu Bei was coming, and they had been waiting here? Just want to sing a song to Liu Bei? Propaganda and propaganda Zhuge Liang's affairs in Longzhong? By the way, raise Zhuge Liang's worth?
