――――――――――――――――――――

Zhang Fei threw the wine gourd to Xia Houdun, Xia Houdun reached out to catch it, hesitated for a moment to open the gourd, and smelled it and knew that it was a good fire. Raising his eyes and seeing Zhang Fei turn back to his original position, Xia Houdun asked, "Zhang Fei, what do you mean by this?" ”

Zhang Fei shrugged his shoulders and laughed: "It's not interesting, it's just to invite you to take a few sips of wine." After all, you're still my uncle...... Who let me Lao Zhang not control himself for a while, and robbed you of Xia Hou Ying, the daughter of your younger brother Xia Hou Miaocai? Alas, now that I see that you are a generation shorter, I have to ask you to drink and confess to sin. Wait until you touch Xia Houmiao to talk to him again, and I will send someone to make up for the dowry when I go back. ”

It's okay not to say it, Zhang Fei made Xia Houdun half angry when he said it. Originally, Xia Houyuan wanted his daughter Xia Houying to marry Cao Pi, so as to further deepen the marriage relationship between the Cao family and the Xia Hou family. But Xia Houying, this girl is very stubborn, and she doesn't like Cao Pi, so she ran away from home without permission, and there has been no news since then. Xia Houshi was ashamed of this matter, but unexpectedly, Zhang Fei poked this thing out in front of so many people at this moment, Xia Houying actually became the wife of Cao Cao's sworn enemy Liu Bei's third brother, which made Xia Houdun go back to see people?

The wine gourd in his hand was almost broken by Xia Houdun, and after being angry, he threw it back, Xia Houdun slapped his horse and wanted to step forward, and shouted angrily in his mouth: "Zhang Fei'er, take your life!" ”

Here, Zhang Fei's face sank, and he shouted violently: "You and I are in-laws after all, I invite you to drink, but you say that you will be beaten, and you don't give half a face, right?" Can I still be afraid of you? ”

After drinking this sentence, Zhang Fei suddenly raised the volume to the maximum, and his voice was like a huge thunder: "Yanren Zhang Yide is here, who dares to come over and fight to the death!?" ”

The thunderous shout stunned all the Cao soldiers, Xia Houdun was also startled by Zhang Fei's shout, and the originally angry mood immediately calmed down, and secretly thought: "Almost hit!" Although Zhang Fei is a brave man, Kong Ming behind him is wise, and there are signs of ambushes around, if I rush to kill the past, I will fall for the treacherous scheme! ”

Thinking of this festival, Xia Houdun grabbed his horse and shouted: "Zhang Fei, since the wood is already in the boat, I will sell you a few thin noodles, and you and I will fight again tomorrow!" I would like to advise you again, Cao Gong's army is approaching soon, and you can still leave you a way to survive if you surrender early. If you don't descend, don't blame me for not being emotional! ”

Zhang Fei replied: "If you want to fight, you can fight, if you don't fight, get away, don't bother your third grandfather!" As far as Cao Cao's soldiers and horses are concerned, I don't care about Lao Zhang! One-eyed summer weather let the horse come, you and I will fight Lily now! ”

Xia Houdun's biggest hatred since he became a one-eyed dragon is that others call him one-eyed Xia Hou, and at the moment the fire hit up but desperately suppressed it, and said in his heart: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, Zhang Fei is trying to provoke me to be angry." I endure! Anyway, Han Hao's pawns will follow tomorrow at the latest, and I won't compete with you for this moment! ”

Holding back his anger, Xia Houdun ignored Zhang Fei's shouting and retreated ten miles to camp and rest. Over there, Zhang Fei saw Xia Houdun retreat and walked away, and the snake spear was carried back on his shoulder, and he smiled: "How about it, my old Zhang is no worse than you Kong Ming......

――――――――――――――――――――

On the other side of Jiangxia City.

"Lord, Liang Te is here to ask for sin!"

Liu Bei froze, and was stunned for a long time before asking, "Excuse me?" What is the sin of the sir? ”

Zhuge Liang let out a long sigh: "If it weren't for the fact that the day Liang begged the lord to use the Mizhen caravan boat to secretly plot Xiangyang, so it angered Lu Ren." Lord, Liang and Lu Ren also have a slight friendship, and it can be seen that his personality and ideas are very different from ours. Lu Ren is very selfish, in other words, he takes care of his family, and he will never allow his family to be harmed. If his family is hurt in any way, he will also find ways to seek revenge. When he rebelled from Cao Ying, wasn't he just a side room Wan'er who was born as a maid? ”

Liu Bei was stunned and said, "Mr. is it said that he forcibly borrowed Lu Renzhou's boat and forcibly asked Mi Zhen to come forward to make a plan?" But didn't Bei already apologize to Mi Zhen and double the fare for the ship? ”

Five thousand gold! Not a small amount!

Zhuge Liang then shook his head: "Lord, today's Lu Ren is not as good as back then. To tell the truth, although the plan to secretly take Xiangyang was expected at that time, as long as there was a slight mistake, it would definitely harm Mi Zhen's life, how could Lu Ren not be angry after hearing the news? He now sits in Yizhou, has the best financial resources in the world, and is indeed a figure that he can't be provoked. ”

Liu Bei was silent when he heard this, and only after a long time did he slowly speak: "If this is the case, please don't have to do it yourself." At that time, Liu Bei was already in danger, even if he could save his life without Mr.'s plan, I was afraid that he would become a wanderer in all directions again, how could it seem that there was still Jiangxia for him to live in? ”

Zhuge Liang was a little moved, and said with a straight face: "Please be relieved by the lord, and finally shine brightly, and I will do my best to assist the lord to achieve the cause of the king." ”

Liu Bei immediately shook it to the end: "There is Mr. Lao!" Thank you very much! It's just that now that the Cao thief has occupied most of Jingzhou, and he is about to enter Jiangxia in the near future to prepare, what is the best way for Mr. to deal with it? ”

Zhuge Liang just opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he came from someone to report that Lu Ren had a messenger coming. Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang glanced at each other, and Zhuge Liang pondered for a moment and said, "The lord go and ask the messenger to come over." As Liang expected, Lu Ren's letter certainly has a warning meaning, and there should also be something beneficial to the lord in the letter. ”

Liu Bei nodded and motioned to invite the messenger sent by Lu Ren. After a short time, the messenger met Liu Bei and presented the letter, Liu Bei opened the letter and read it carefully, and the letter was to the effect:

You Lao Liu let my wife and the fleet go to do things for you without my consent, and the things you do are still so dangerous, which is too bad for me to give Lu Ren face, what if something happens? It's true that you compensated me a lot of money, but I still have to knock you hard so that you don't dare to have some bad ideas about my people and industry in the future.

Even if everyone settles the matter this time, Mi Zhu under your command is my brother-in-law, and if you don't give Lao Liu face, you have to give Mi Zhu face, so I will do the business between Lu Ren and your Lao Liu. I have everything you urgently need here, and the next fleet will deliver all of them according to the order given to Mi Zhen. If you need anything to add, you can directly send someone to Changsha to find the person in charge, Zhang Fang, and he will send a fast horse from the land route to inform me. But there is one thing, don't make up your mind again, otherwise it will anger me, I will do my best to help Lao Cao, and your Lao Liu will be finished.

At the end, Lu Ren added another sentence: "Recently, I heard that General Zuo was forced by Cao Gong to retreat to Jiangxia to wait for the time." Ren thought that although this move could temporarily ensure temporary peace, if he did not set up a good plan early, he would be taken advantage of by Cao Gong. Although Ren is not talented, and he is annoyed that General Zuo has recently borrowed my boat, but he remembers the old friendship in the past, and offers a special strategy: unite with Wu and jointly reign with Cao Gong! If Wolong is on the side of General Zuo, you can ask for his meaning. ”

Liu Bei was not angry when he saw it, and he regretted it, so he almost hung his chest. Turned his hand and handed the letter to Zhuge Liang for a look, Zhuge Liang shook his head and sighed after reading it, and then nodded incessantly. Zhang Fei was fast, and snatched the letter in Zhuge Liang's hand casually, and looked at it carefully with Guan Yu, Zhao Yun and others.

After reading a letter, Zhao Yun and Guan Yu frowned deeply, and did not say a word, as if they felt a little disgusted with Lu Ren's move in their hearts. The two of them were okay, but two of them were so angry that they choked, the first one was Zhang Fei, who was so angry that he screamed, and he reached out and grabbed the messenger's collar and scolded: "Lu Ren is so rude!" What about my eldest brother borrowing his boat? What if it is taken by force? What's more, the eldest brother also doubled the compensation for the ship's fare! 1”

Liu Bei first persuaded a few words on the side, and seeing that Zhang Fei was unwilling to obey, he used his brain to scold: "Yide, Hugh is rude!" In the end, I am responsible for Lu Yizhou, so how can I blame others? ”

Liu Bei was also afraid when Zhang Fei was angry, so he had no choice but to let go of the messenger and flash to the side sullenly. Seeing this, Zhuge Liang stepped forward and whispered a few words in Zhang Fei's ear, and Zhang Fei's face looked better. As for what was said, others do not know.

Another one who was angry enough was Mi Zhu, now after reading the letter, Mi Zhu knew the cause and effect, thinking that Lu Ren was now his brother-in-law, he couldn't hold it on his face, and after Zhang Fei dodged away, Mi Zhu stepped forward and said: "Lord, why don't I go to Yizhou ......"

Liu Bei was a little moved when he heard this, but the messenger, who was frightened by Zhang Fei, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Mi Zhu. Mi Zhu was speechless after reading it, and then handed the letter to Liu Bei for review. The content of this letter is very simple, which means that Mi Zhu should not come to Yizhou to persuade Lu Ren, otherwise Lu Ren will simply leave Mi Zhu behind, and then completely break off relations with Liu Bei. Isn't your Liu Bei still in urgent need of business help from Yizhou? Then let Mi Zhu stay by Liu Bei's side honestly, Lu Ren sells things to Mi Zhu, not directly to you Liu Bei.

Helplessly, Liu Bei waved his hand and said: "That's it, I think that Lu Ren does everything he does and then acts, he has already predicted something, and it is difficult for others to find a gap." Zizhong, you better stay in Jiangxia and take care of the military quartermasters. The Great War is coming, and it is inconvenient for you to stay away. ”

Mi Zhu retreated with shame on his face, Liu Bei looked at Jiang Mian thoughtfully, he was thinking about Lu Ren's last reminder in the letter about uniting with Sun Quan.

"Lu Ren asked me to unite with Sun Quan to fight against Cao? But in the early years, when I secretly took Jiangxia, I had a grudge with Sun Quan, will Sun Quan unite with me regardless of the previous enmity? ”

At this time, Zhuge Liang had already returned to Liu Bei's side, and seeing that Liu Bei was looking in the direction of Jiangdong, he had already guessed what Liu Bei was thinking, so he asked out loud: "Is the lord thinking about the last thing Lu Ren mentioned in the letter?" ”

Liu Bei nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice: "Sir, Lu Ren mentioned in the letter that he wanted me to ask for your opinion, what does Mr. think?" ”

Zhuge Liang said: "According to the truth, Lu Ren's strategy coincides with Liang. At present, Cao Gong occupies Jingxiang, and the lord has no way out, and only by joining forces with Jiangdong to fight Cao can he regain Jingxiang in order to regain the cause of kingship. ”

Next, Zhuge Liang analyzed the benefits, such as Cao Cao's defeat of Liu Bei and his ability to return to Jingzhou, and Sun Quan's defeat of Liu Bei to take advantage of the chaos to take Jiangdong and so on, which are no different from history. Liu Bei's confidence was greatly boosted after hearing this, but after a while, Liu Bei fell into deep thought again and asked, "Bei is only one thing that is unclear now, that is, why is Lu Ren like this?"
