What Lu Bu said happened to be heard by Cao Cao, who was out to greet him.

Cao Cao walked over and said, "Brother Xian's words are amazing." I, Cao Cao, am I a villain who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge? The wine is good wine, the banquet is a good banquet, there is no intention of harm, and the virtuous brother can rest assured. ”

"Alas... When you're away from home, it's better to be vigilant. Lu Bu led the red rabbit horse and tied it to the side.

Li Cunxiao did the same.

Cao Cao said: "You can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people." I can understand what the virtuous brother does. ”

"It's best to understand, I'm afraid Meng De will think too much."

Cao Cao looked around and asked, "Brother Xian, has Yuanba ever come?" ”

"I went to the city to go to a banquet, not a war, what to do with Yuanba?" Lu Bu leaned close to Cao Cao's ear and teased: "Without Yuanba, doesn't it feel very relaxed?" Do whatever you want? ”

"Brother Xian laughed." Cao Cao broke out in a cold sweat, waved his hand and said, "Brother Xian, please." ”

"Please."

Before entering the door, Lu Bu once again told the soldiers watching the horses: "Look at the horses well, don't feed the forage, don't take them away.... I'll be sure I'll need it later, and every once in a while I'll come out and have a look, and if the horse is gone, I'll not go to the feast. ”

"Yes." The soldier replied respectfully.

Come to the living room.

Lu Bu dominated the crowd and sat on the top seat.

Li Cunxiao carried Yu Wang's lance on his back and stood beside Lu Bu, looking like he was facing a great enemy.

Cao Cao was very embarrassed, reluctantly sat on the side, and motioned to Guo Jia, Xun You, Xu Chu, etc., to sit in separate seats.

"General Lu, who is this strong man?" Guo Jia glanced at Li Cunxiao, who was two meters tall and extremely strong.

Li Cunxiao took a step forward, raised the Yu Wang lance, and said: "My name is Li Cunxiao, I am the guardian of the lord, what means do you have, just use it..." ”

"Why did General Li say this?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.

Li Cunxiao said: "Our military advisor said that this is the Hongmen banquet.... ”

"Ahem..." Lu Bu coughed lightly twice and said with a smile: "Don't mind, you love to tell the truth if you are filial." In fact, there is nothing wrong with the Hongmen Banquet, I like to eat the Hongmen Banquet. ”

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, and Xun You all felt helpless. Lu Bu kept saying that the Hongmen Banquet, the Hongmen Banquet has not started yet, is it still not placed?

"Cun Xiao, put away your Yu Wang lance, don't hurt people." Lu Bu turned around and said.

"Yes."

Li Cunxiao carried the Yu Wang lance, looked left and right, and found that there was no place to put weapons. Suddenly, he had an idea, walked to the middle of the lobby, exerted all his strength, and put the Yuwang lance to the ground with a pestle, only to hear the sound of 'boom', half of the Yuwang lance, inserted into the ground.

Everyone at the banquet was taken aback.

Cao Cao was very angry, thinking that Lu Bu was demonstrating to him, and said with a calm face: "Xu Chu, take that stick away, don't affect the banquet." ”

"No."

Xu Chu had long seen that Li Cunxiao was not pleasing to the eye, and he also held back a lot of strength in his heart, walked to Yu Wang Lance, stretched out his hand to hold Yu Wang Lance, and was about to lift the eight-hundred-pound stick that was inserted into the ground and throw it outside the hall.

However, when he held the Yuwang lance and exerted his strength, he found that the Yuwang lance was too heavy and he could not hold it at all.

The civil and military people in the hall all looked expectant.

Cao Cao stood up and gave Xu Chu a look.

"Drink!"

Xu Chu put his heart sideways, tied his horse steps, and grabbed Yu Wangqi with both hands: "Ah...!" ”

He had used all his strength. However, Yuwang Lance was still motionless, as if it had grown together with the underground.

"This..."

After Xu Chu's efforts, he was extremely shocked.

With his strength, he can't pull up the Yuwang lance, how much does the Yuwang lance weigh? How strong is Li Cunxiao's strength? Could it be another invincible Li Yuanba?

"Zhongkang, what are you still doing in a daze, quickly take that stick away!" Cao Cao shouted hurriedly.

Xu Chu's face was flushed, and he hugged his fists and said, "Prime Minister... The last general is incompetent and can't afford to take the Yu Wang lance. ”

Hiss...

The civil and military people in the hall all gasped. Xu Chu is under Cao Cao, and after Dian Wei, the most powerful general can't afford to take the Yu Wang lance, it is conceivable that no one can afford the entire Cao Cao force.

"We're here to help you." Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan also ran over.

The three of them exerted their strength at the same time to pull out the Yuwang lance from the ground. It was very difficult to carry it and walk out of the hall.

Li Cunxiao looked playful, walked in front of the three of them, easily picked up the Yuwang lance, and mocked: "I can't even hold my weapon, and I still want to hold a Hongmen banquet?" ”

Rumble!

He threw it with his backhand, threw the Yu Wang lance three zhang away, and inserted it diagonally into the ground. This time, the depth of inserting into the ground is three feet, even if Xu Chu, Xiahou Yuan, and Xiahou Yuan shoot together, they may not be able to pull it out.

"Be filial and not rude."

Lu Bu was ecstatic in his heart, and he was still very angry on his face, and after reprimanding Li Cunxiao, he picked up the wine bottle and said: "Don't be surprised, Cunxiao doesn't know how to be polite, and it is inevitable that there will be something offended, so I will make amends to you on his behalf." ”

"Please."

Cao Cao, Guo Jia, Xun You, Cao Ren.... They all drink together.

Li Cunxiao returned to Lu Bu's side, like a god, standing behind the side.

No one dared to speak again...

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more depressing.

"Meng De, the war in Xiliang is over, and the class is about to return to the court, right?" Lu Bu asked.

Cao Cao came back to his senses and said, "Yes." This is thanks to the help of the virtuous brothers, in order to defeat the Dayue clan Guishan Empire, so that the border aliens, competing for refuge, in the future Xiliang will have no more wars, the virtuous brother should be the first to take the lead. I will play the Son of Heaven, seal the virtuous brother as the king of Chu, give the festival Yue, and add nine tin. ”

(Note: The meaning of Jieyue and Jiuxi refers to the artifacts given by the Son of Heaven to his courtiers, such as chariots and horses, ceremonial dresses, musical instruments...) and so on, representing the supreme power and status. ）

Lu Bu looked indifferent and said, "I don't care about these false names. If you like it, keep it for yourself. ”

"Brother Xian doesn't care about the throne, what do you care?"

"Money, food, horses. You still owe me a lot, can you pay it back sooner? ”

Chased by Lu Bu to ask for money, Cao Cao was very faceless, and prevaricated: "Brother Xian, don't worry, I will raise all the money, grain, and war horses in the shortest possible time and send them to Yangzhou." ”

"Okay, I'll wait."

Next, enjoy singing and dancing while eating.

From beginning to end, Cao Cao did not give the order to attack Lü Bu, and the sword and axe hand hidden in the wall was withdrawn unconsciously. The crossbow machine, bow and arrow in the next room were also put away.

After eating and drinking until midnight, Lu Bu and Li Cunxiao swaggered out of the city.

Cao Cao stood at the door and sighed vigorously.

Cao Ren walked over quickly and said, "Why didn't the prime minister give the order to capture Lu Bu?" ”

"Do you have what it takes?"

"I..."

Cao Cao said: "Li Cunxiao's strength is not weaker than Li Yuanba. If you really want to make a move, it is not Lu Bu who will be captured, but me. It's better to be cautious and look for another opportunity. ”

"The prime minister is wise."

Guo Jia and Xun Yu all breathed a sigh of relief.
