At the same time, Liu Bei heard that Jian Yong sent a messenger back to report that he had actually seen the messenger sent by Jin Jue at Zang Ba, so he immediately put down all the affairs in his hand, personally rode a horse, and ran to the north gate of Xiapi City to greet them, along with Zhang Fei, Lu Su and Xu Shu.

Zhang Fei didn't get the opportunity to lead the troops this time, and the boss in his heart was unhappy about the suggestions of the two military divisions. Because, the person who recommended Chen Zhi to serve as this task was Xu Shu, and Lu Su also agreed with this.

As the saying goes, kill chickens with a knife!

At this time, Liu Guanzhang can be regarded as a battle-hardened battle, but Chen Zhi is different, he has not led an army to fight under Liu Bei, and this time, the battle of the county is just a small raid battle. Xu Shu asked Chen to lead the army to give him a chance to experience and perform.

Jin Jue's employment is based on historical records, of course, it also depends on their specific performance, even Xun Yu has recommended the wrong person, and others want to employ people, which is bound to go through a series of observations and tests.

After all, the military advisor is just making suggestions, and there are few people who will personally lead the troops to the expedition like Pang Tong, and the person who makes the decision is ultimately the monarch himself, on the contrary, the generals who go out are the actual operators.

Liu An didn't know Liu Bei, but he heard Jin Jue talk about the appearance and characteristics of Liu Bei's three brothers, and at a glance he recognized Liu Bei, the head of the Xuzhou Thorn History, and Zhang Fei, who was looking at him with great resentment, and was so frightened that the two legs of the horse began to tremble a little. And Wang Xiu, who followed them to Xiapi City, also knew Liu Bei, and when Liu Bei sent troops to rescue Kong Rong, the two of them met each other.

When Wang Xiufu saw Liu Bei, he was shocked in his heart, and asked with a calm face: "Liu Yuanjun, you sent troops to attack Xiajiao County in order to retrieve Kong Beihai's family, and Xiu has nothing to say." However, why did you let your subordinates take Xiu to Xuzhou? ”

"This ......" Liu Bei was also very surprised when he saw Wang Xiu, he didn't let Chen Zhi invite Wang Xiu back, he glanced at Chen Dao.

Chen Zhi was just about to speak, Xu Shu stood up, walked in front of Wang Xiu, bowed to Wang Xiushen, and said, "Mr. Shuzhi, this has nothing to do with my father-in-law, it was Xu Shu who privately explained General Chen's behavior, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

Liu Bei prides himself on his benevolence, and this time he actually did this kind of thing, which is indeed a bit unexpected, even Zang Ba and Changba were surprised when they heard about it.

You must know that because of Kong Rong's relationship with waste firewood, Wang Xiu is very famous in the Qingxu Yan area.

But in fact, this time, it was indeed Xu Shu who privately explained that if Chen Zhi found Wang Xiu in the county seat, he must invite him to Xuzhou along with his family.

Xu Shu is also helpless to do this, Liu Bei's subordinates are too short of capable ministers, especially Wenchen like Wang Xiu who dares to go against the local heroes, and the local heroes in Xuzhou are very strong. Now, don't look at the situation on the surface of Xuzhou is relatively stable, in fact, there is an undercurrent surging inside. Once Yuan Tan's army or Cao Cao's army attacked Xuzhou, Xuzhou may not be monolithic.

Whoever doesn't know who will secretly collude with Cao Cao or Yuan Shao.

The reason for this is that Liu Bei previously distributed all the lands in the north and northwest of Xuzhou that had become ownerless to the people of Xuzhou, which greatly touched the interests of the local families in Xuzhou. These people supported Liu Bei to take over as the assassin of Xuzhou, mainly because Liu Bei was originally an unknown person, easy to control, and in the final analysis, it was for the sake of profit.

"Yuan Zhi, ...... you" When Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Xu Shu with wide eyes, and he didn't know what to say or what to ask for a while.

Liu Bei knew in his heart that Xu Shu was so self-destructive and asked Chen Zhi to exile Wang Xiu back to Xuzhou, in the final analysis, for the sake of his lord.

At this moment, Liu An on the side suddenly interjected: "This gentleman, Liu Yuanjun took a fancy to your talent, so he asked people to invite you, you continue to stay in Qingzhou and assist that waste wood Yuan Tan, is it interesting?" My son-in-law also sent someone to Henan County to kidnap a person back, but unfortunately, he was robbed by Sima Yi on the way. ”

Everyone didn't expect that the person who relieved this embarrassing situation at the scene was actually him.

Maybe he saw that Zhang Fei's eyes were a little too 'vicious' when he looked at him, and Liu An said these words just to please Liu Bei.

"Hahaha, lord, it seems that this is what the hero sees!" When Xu Shu heard this, the embarrassment on his face suddenly disappeared, and he laughed heartily.

"Oh, little brother, what's your name, and who is your son?" As soon as Wang Xiu heard this, he saw that Liu Bei's expression did not seem to be fake, so he didn't question Xu Shu and Liu Bei, turned his head and asked Liu An.

"Two, this is not the place to talk, let's go in and talk!" Lu Su interjected.

So, with a stomach full of questions, Wang Xiu followed Liu Bei and his party to the meeting hall in the Xuzhou Thorn History Mansion.

When Wang Xiugang saw Liu Bei, he was really able to take a few important subordinates out of the city for Liu Bei to greet him, but he never imagined that this dignified Lord of Xuzhou Assassin personally rode to the city gate, but it was to welcome a small person.

After everyone sat down, Liu Bei said with a pleasant face: "Little brother, you introduce yourself first, and talk about why your son-in-law sent you to see Zang Ba and others, you can rest assured and boldly say that I am an old friend of your son-in-law, even if he knows, he will not blame you." ”

"No!" Liu An also knew that Jin Jue and Liu Bei had a good relationship, so he didn't hide it, and said honestly: "The villain's surname is Liu Ming'an, a person from Hanzhong, who was originally Zhang Lu's subordinate, and only after he was recently captured did he take refuge in my son-in-law Jin Jue." As for the villain's envoy to Mount Tai this time, it was to persuade Zang Ba and the others to keep the status quo for the time being and not to take refuge in any party. ”

"What, that lame kid dares to say that, he is a small person, and his hand is too long!" As soon as Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately stood up, pointed at Liu An and asked loudly.

Liu An was so loudly drunk by Zhang Fei that he had to sit on his knees and collapse directly on his back to the ground. And at this moment, the booklet that had been in his personal collection fell down by a ghost.

Liu An also noticed it, and he hurriedly reached out to take the booklet back and hide it. But Xu Shu, who was beside him, was quick and grabbed the booklet in his hand before him.

"Yide, don't be rude. Shut your mouth and sit down! Liu Bei shouted angrily.
