Not long after the army was stationed in Anhui, Lü Bu led his soldiers back to Xuzhou.

When I came, it was huge, and when I went back, it was even more overwhelming.

Sun Ce has also gathered a lot of men and horses in Jiangdong in recent years, and all the Jiangdong troops have been reorganized by Lu Bu, except for a small number of men and horses left to guard various places, the main force of the Jiangdong Army has been completely incorporated into Lu Bu's account.

Out of Anhui City, Lu Bu led the army forward.

He glanced back behind him.

The army that followed behind him quickly expanded from more than 50,000 to nearly 100,000.

With an army of 100,000, he should have felt full of pride and full of hope for the future.

Pang Tong and Zhou Yu's previous analysis of the situation made him feel the crisis.

Cao Cao absolutely refused to watch him sit big, and Yuan Shao of Hebei Province could not see a strong force appear in Xuzhou in order to advance eastward.

Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou has always had the ambition of Beitu, but he tried a few times without success, and was restrained by the Sun family in Jiangdong, so he was relatively stopped.

Now that the Sun family is gone, Jiangdong has fallen into his hands.

The Cao family and the Yuan family, who are both coveting the hegemony of the Central Plains, are still unclear what they will do in the future.

The situation seemed to be very unfavorable for Lu Bu.

"Wen Hou, you have to be careful along the way." Pang Tong leaned over to Lu Bu's side and reminded in a low voice: "Since taking Wancheng and forcing the Sun family to return to obedience, Xuzhou has long become a thorn in the side of others. It's hard to guarantee that no one will do something halfway. ”

"Shi Yuan reminds me that I also understand all this." Lu Bu nodded.

He turned his head to look at Zhou Yu who was following behind: "What does Gong Jin think?" ”

"Wen Hou said before that no matter who comes, it's nothing more than a job." Zhou Yu replied: "In my opinion, I have already offended the world, so it is better to be more arrogant." ”

"How arrogant? Gong Jin, please speak. Lu Bu asked him to continue.

"Wen Hou now owns Xuzhou and Yangzhou, and there are 100,000 athletes under his command." Zhou Yu said: "The Marquis of Yiwen does not have any fiefdom, so it is better to let someone go to Cao Cao and ask the Han family to make a real prince." ”

"A real prince?" Lu Bu asked, "What does Gongjin mean ......?"

"Jiangdong belongs to Wu Land, and Wen Hou got Jiangdong, shouldn't he ask the court for Wu Hou or something to do?" Zhou Yu asked.

"Although Jiangdong is Wu land, I got Pengcheng first." Lu Bu said: "Pengcheng is the former capital of the overlord of Western Chu, and the Shouchun I took from Yuan Shu is the capital of Chu in the Warring States Period. I think it's more appropriate to give a Chu Hou. ”

He then asked Zhou Yu: "Who does Gongjin think is appropriate?" ”

"I have a recommendation, but he is not in the army." Zhou Yu replied.

"Who is this person?" It stands to reason that Lu Bu shouldn't be relieved to appoint the person recommended by Zhou Yu, but he still asked.

"The person I want to recommend is named Lu Su, and he is respectful." Zhou Yu replied: "This person is honest and has the demeanor of an elder, but he has a lot of eloquence and a good mind. If Marquis Wen is willing to use him, it won't be long before the title of Marquis of Chu can be sealed. ”

"If you are not in the army, when he comes, won't you have to delay a big event?" Lu Bu asked.

"The big thing that Marquis Wen said is nothing more than forcing the imperial court to entitle the Marquis of Chu." Zhou Yu replied: "This matter can be slow or urgent, I think the army will not encounter any trouble on the way back to Pengcheng." ”

Pang Tong, who reminded Lu Bu earlier, said: "Although there will be no army to attack and disturb, you have to guard against secretly making trouble." ”

"Shi Yuan is right." Zhou Yu said approvingly: "Secretly troublemakers really have to be guarded against. However, there is no conflict with inviting Lu Zijing here. ”

"Who's going to ask for the right one?" Lu Bu asked.

"I have some friendship with him." Zhou Yu replied: "Except for me, I'm afraid others won't move!" ”

"Wenhou ......" Zhou Yu took the initiative to ask for help, and Pang Tong tried to remind Lu Bu next to him.

Lu Bu raised his hand to stop him, and then said to Zhou Yu: "Since Gong Jin is sure to invite him, then I will let you go." ”

"General Youping!" Staring at Zhou Yu, Lu Bu beckoned to the side, and Zhou Tai immediately stepped forward.

"You accompany Gongjin on a trip and ask Lu Zijing to come and see me." Lu Bu instructed: "Gongjin's safety is entrusted to you, but you can't let him make the slightest mistake." ”

Lu Bu promised Zhou Yu to let him go to Lu Su, and Zhou Yu was not surprised by this.

Even when he arranged for a general to accompany him to protect him, Zhou Yu didn't feel any surprises.

But he arranged for Zhou Tai to accompany him, which really surprised Zhou Yu.

There was a trace of astonishment on his face, and Zhou Yu then said to Lu Bu: "If I go this time, I will definitely invite Lu Zijing here!" ”

"There is Lao Gongjin." Lu Bu arched his hand.

Zhou Yu greeted Zhou Tai and left the army with him and a few accompanying guards.

Seeing Zhou Yu's back, Pang Tong said: "It's appropriate for Wen Hou to buy people's hearts like this. But if Zhou Gongjin has a trace of gratitude, he should not easily be an enemy of Wen Hou in the future. ”

"You tried to stop me just now, did you deliberately show Zhou Gongjin?" Lu Bu turned his head and asked Pang Tongyi.

"Someone has to do the bad guys." Pang Tong replied: "If I don't do it, who is willing to share the burden for Wen Hou?" ”

Lu Bu smiled and patted his arm gently: "I have Shiyuan, it really seems to have an extra arm." ”

"One more arm isn't enough." Pang Tong said with a smile: "The world is so big, it can't be won by a few people, Wen Hou still needs to gather more talents!" ”

"If you get Jiangdong, talents will also come in droves." Lu Bu said: "It's just that compared with Yuan Shao and Xu Ducao's family in Hebei, the talents around me do seem to be a lot less. ”

The army continued to move forward, and Zhou Yu and Zhou Tai were also urging their horses to rush to find Lu Su.

Following Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai asked, "Gong Jin really wants to find Lu Zijing?" ”

"Lu Zijing is a talent, go to Cao Cao to ask for an official title, of course he is appropriate." Zhou Yu replied.

"Didn't Gong Jin think about taking this opportunity to leave Lu Fengxian?" Zhou Tai asked.

"Don't call Lu Fengxian in the future, you have to call the lord." Zhou Yu glared at him.

Zhou Tai was stunned.

Two days ago, Zhou Yu called Lu Bu the same as them, what would happen to him?

Have you forgotten all the benefits of Sun Ce?

"I thought he would reject my offer, but he agreed." Zhou Yu said to Zhou Tai: "Not only did he let me go, but he also sent you to accompany him to protect him, which shows that he is broad-minded and does not doubt his use of people." After voting for such a lord, you and I will have a bright future in the future, what else is there to dissatisfaction with? ”

"But Jiangdong ......," Zhou Tai also wanted to remind Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu replied: "The Jiangdong Sun family is gone, in a few years, Bo Fu will definitely follow Wen Hou with all his heart, from now on we only have Wen Hou, and we are no longer subordinates of the Jiangdong Sun family!" ”
