In Xiapi City, Tao Qian fainted unexpectedly because of the news of Cao Cao's sudden killing, which caused a panic to spread throughout the city. The civil and military officials, together with the people in the city, pinned their hopes on Qingzhou Mu Lu Bu, who had come to rescue the Yellow Turban thief Kou and Kan Xuan's rebel party, who was in danger of Pi Zhi.

"This Lu Wenhou is a Qingzhou pastor, whether my Xuzhou was poisoned by that Cao Cao, it seems to have nothing to do with him, I heard that this Qingzhou and Yanzhou are still allied, can people do their best to help us?" Cao Cao's army is approaching the city, this idea has almost become the mainstream, seeing that except for the doll master in Lu Bu's army, who once took people to Cao's military camp, Lu Bu's army did not arrange troops, and did not defend the city, and even seemed to avoid suspicion, since that day after meeting with the officials and people of the city, he had not even entered the city once. It is inevitable that this kind of remarks that Lu Bu wants to sit on the wall and watch are spread everywhere.

The only difference is that as the three major families of Xuzhou who are the pillars of Xuzhou in Xiapi City, the Cao family of military affairs, the Chen family of political affairs, and the Mi family of commercial affairs, they did not stand up on behalf of Xuzhou to negotiate with Lu Bu again, but in addition to visiting Tao Qian, who was unconscious every day, they closed their doors one by one, and became a hermit. It has reassured many people who want to leave Xuzhou to go north or south for refuge.

People who have the heart and ability to take refuge but don't even go out of Picheng. I have never been so envious of the people in Qingzhou, who have always been tired. Although Qingzhou Mu Lu Bu has a reputation that people will slander a few words, at least he doesn't dare to provoke it easily. Even Cao Cao, who had tens of thousands of Zhou Mu Tao Gong who was known as the world's elite Danyang elite soldiers, was "stunned" alive in the war against Qingzhou before. Have you ever gotten a little favor? Everything is vain, only or can you maintain your own family, if you encounter a chaotic army, is it possible that people still look at your family background to make a knife? With such a great god as Lu Bu in charge, if other forces with other intentions want to get involved, they must at least weigh whether they can withstand the power of the Qingzhou army with good combat power under the shroud of Lu Wenhou's Heavenly Painting Halberd.

"It would be nice if Lu Wenhou was our Xuzhou pastor!" This was a thought that had never occurred before. Among the people of Xiapi, with the arrival of Cao Jun, he said that he would slaughter Xuzhou, and there was a considerable market. Among them, there are also many who looked down on Lu Bu's background before. and those who vainly obtain the means of Qingzhou pastoralism.

"Lu, Lu Wenhou has entered the city!" Just when the people in Xiapi City were panicking and inexplicably discussing because of the Cao Jun camp outside the city, a surprise voice with a desperate life suddenly sounded from the north of Xiapi City. Almost at an indescribable rate. Word of mouth. It seems that just these few words have given a shot in the arm to the hearts of the people of Xiapi, who are already on the verge of collapse, and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The north gate of Xiapi City was opened early, as if he didn't care that Lu Bu took the opportunity to seize Xiapi City, the 30,000 black-clothed Xuanjia foot soldiers who came from a distance were the same day that they defeated several times the siege of the city under the blow of the day, and Lu Bu, who was already well-known to the people of Xiapi, was the elite foot soldiers of Qingzhou soldiers, and this time he slowly approached Xiapi City. The one who was placed at the head of the team by several young generals was like a star and a moon, sitting on a red rabbit horse like a charcoal of fire. The person holding the Fang Tian Painting Halberd obliquely, who is not Lu Bu, who is the most talked about in Xiapi City these days?

"Lu Qingzhou is incomparably benevolent and righteous, and he will not abandon my people of Xuzhou after all!" The incendiary words that came out again at the right time from a certain corner completely ignited the enthusiasm of the people of Xiapi who had been tortured enough by the pressure of fear in the past few days when Lu Bu approached the city gate. Then the voices of echoing and echoing came and went, like the stormy waves, unbridled to vent the accumulated negative emotions.

"This eighty percent is Zhong Ming's idea!" Lu Bu pursed the corners of his mouth, glanced back at the carriage that was guarded among the soldiers, and said to Cao Xuan beside him as if he didn't care: "That kid has a general, and even a certain person is jealous, but I didn't expect that there is also this old fox's eyeliner in Xuzhou!" Under this pretentiousness, even if there is no real Xuzhou, it has also won the hearts of the people of Xuzhou! ”

"No wonder Master Qin has been persuading the lord not to enter this Picheng easily, you must wait for him to come back from Cao Ying, it turns out that he has such a plan; There is also this famous general raised by the Qin master, no wonder it can make the lord feel jealous, just this ability to manipulate people's hearts, the last general can't learn it even if he learns it for a hundred years! Cao Xing has followed Lu Bu for many years, and he doesn't have so many scruples when he speaks, so he responds casually.

"Huh?" I don't know if Cao Xing's words touched Lu Bu's mind, Lu Bu, who was still full of ambition and satisfaction just now, and his face gradually faded after listening to Cao Xing's words. This demeanor fell into the eyes of the people of Xiapi City who got the news and came to the north gate, and they thought that Lu Bu was worried about Xiapi affairs, and secretly had a good impression of Lu Bu, which could be regarded as an unexpected joy.

"General Lu! You must save us this time! ”

"Yes, General Lu, all the 300,000 men and women of the people in Xiapi rely on Wen Hou's protection! You can't leave us behind! ”

Many of the people in the crowd who welcomed Lu Bu into the city with Tao Qian last time didn't care whether they were hindering the march of the army, and knelt down on both sides of the city gate, shouting no, which caused a chorus of echo.

Lu Bu, who has always been demonized because of his bad reputation, has never seen that even in Linzi, which is governed in Qingzhou and has made the people's hearts settled because of the policy of displaced people, he has never received this treatment. Even General Fei, who was going back and forth on the battlefield and facing tens of thousands of troops, was a little excited at this time.

People's hearts! Almost everyone is talking about the people's hearts! What is popular support? At present, the words of the people of Xiapi, who do not seem to act at all, are the best explanation. Lu Bu also somewhat understood why Qin Xu would rather hide in the carriage with the stinky old man Cao Song at this time, and refused to show up again.

"This kid! There is such a ability to make nonsense tightly. Looks like it's time to find someone to take care of it! Seeing that the more they marched towards the city, the more people came to hear the news, and finally even brought the Danyang soldiers of the headquarters to contact Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family in Honshu. There was a thick wall of people between him and Lu Bu, and after Cao Bao's persuasion, he was able to get in touch with Lu Bu smoothly, and he was half joking and half flattering to say that Lu Bu's popularity in Xuzhou was higher than that of Tao Qian when he entered Xuzhou, so that he almost couldn't figure out who was the pastor of Xuzhou. This sentence made Lu Bu's face look much better, and he even shook his head with a somewhat self-deprecating smile, and muttered in his mouth.

"Wen Hou said who is in charge? These people are just waiting for you to step up at this time. And I was grateful, and I just came to greet me spontaneously, and I hope that Wen Hou will not blame them! Cao Bao thought that Lu Bu was worried about the defense of Picheng. While complaining about these people, he hurriedly explained, and at the same time, he also shouted at the people who were still surrounding him and Lu Bu's army to find a sense of security, and almost hindered Lu Bu's Qingzhou soldiers from entering the city: "Everyone is on a blind date. Lu Wenhou was already stationed in Xiapi this time. Let's go down to Picheng can be regarded as impregnable, everyone's safety is guaranteed, and they are all dispersed, don't let me and others block the Wen Hou army from entering the city and make the Cao thieves outside the city take advantage of it, and take advantage of it! ”

"Everyone, be quiet!" Seeing that Cao Bao, a local native, couldn't suppress the scene, Lu Bu cleared his throat and said loudly. Unexpectedly, this sentence was faster than Cao Bao's most and useful, and it was only a moment of effort to maintain order under the "enthusiasm" of people in the crowd. The crowd, which had been noisy just now, calmed down and waited for Lu Bu to speak. Lu Bu glanced back at the carriage not far behind him again. With a smile on his face, Chitu immediately arched his hand in all directions and said loudly to the crowd gathered on both sides of the army: "Thanks to the trust of all the Xuzhou fathers and elders, I am very ashamed to do this welcome act. This time it was because Brother Tao Gonggong was invited by the next Pi affair, and he came to Xuzhou because of the friendship of Linzhou, and he wanted to go back after something! But unexpectedly, General Cao of Yanzhou had a slight misunderstanding with Tao Gong, which caused everyone to panic! Qingzhou and Yanzhou have an alliance of friendship, and they are in the situation, and they can't bear to let the people of Pi suffer out of thin air, so now they are temporarily leading the defense of Xuzhou and protecting everyone's safety for a while! Please also ask all the fathers and elders to get out of the way and make the cloth calmly armed! ”

"Then Cao Cao is now outside the city, let's quickly get out of the way and let the elite under General Lu take over the defense of Xuzhou, in case Cao Cao takes advantage of this opportunity to seize the city!" As soon as Lu Bu's words fell, a voice in a dark corner followed Lu Bu's words, which immediately attracted echoes from the surroundings, and they really retreated like a tide.

"Rest assured, General Qingzhou Mulu will definitely save everyone's lives! And I have already written a letter to General Cao before, stating the stakes and interests, I believe that with the power of General Lu, the friendship between the two states of Qingyan, and the misunderstanding between the two states of Yan and Xu, it is not a problem, and there will be good news in the near future. Seeing that although the people in Xiapi City temporarily retreated and made way for Lu Bujun, there was still a little doubt and anxiety on his face, hiding in the carriage, and Qin Xu, who didn't know that Cao Xing had a conversation with Lu Bu, lifted the curtain of the car, hid behind the car window and said loudly, causing a lot of injury, but Cao Song, the old lady of the Cao family with a stinky and ugly face, rolled his eyes. Qin Xu's words sounded like words of consolation at first glance, but when you think about it carefully, they are heart-wrenching! What does it mean that General Mulu of Qingzhou will definitely protect the lives of the people of Xuzhou? What is the prestige of General Lu, with just one letter, it can make Cao Cao, who was scared of Xuzhou Mu Taoqian, have good news from the menacing army? What does it mean to come back after you have completed your career? As a lieutenant before, even if the means of the upper position were a little difficult to see, after all, he had experienced the treacherous political struggles in the Han court. For Qin Xu, who seems to be public everywhere, but in private he is his own words, Cao Song expressed his contempt very much.

At the same time, the one who also showed disdain for Qin Xu's "character" was Cao Ren, the nephew of Cao Song, the old lady of the Cao family. Just when Lu Bu was swaggering and entering the city, in the Cao military camp outside Xiapi City, Cao Ren actually shouted at his lord Cao Cao in a normal way: "Lord, let Lu Bu win the hearts of the people of Xuzhou like this? As if I'm afraid of him? Could it be that this matter is just because of Qin Xu's few words that don't hurt or itch, so it can't be settled? If Uncle and Ang'er are both in Linzi, my Yanzhou will definitely be constrained in Qingzhou in the future! The lord entrusted the old father and eldest son to a thief like Lu Bu, how will you face the world, Meng De? I can't figure it out! ”

"If you can't figure it out, think slowly!" Cao Cao quietly listened to Cao Ren's complaints, his face was gloomy like water, and said: "You also know that the old lady is in the Lu Bu army, and we have lost our righteousness. Moreover, Qingyan Erzhou is an alliance, and the old lady likes to go to the Nalaoshi Ziji School Palace to visit the eldest grandson. Zixiao, I said that you were confused before, could it be that you still think it was a joke? Think about it! Can Tao Qian tolerate Lu Bu being so popular in his own state and county that the hearts of the people are higher than him, a legitimate state pastor? The name of Qingxu and Xu is united, which is actually containment, so that we can wait for the future without worry! You can do that great thing! Besides, you think that there will be a battle in the two states of Qingyan in the end, and I can tell you clearly, this is indeed true, but it is definitely not now! Our main goal now is to pursue Yuan Shu, who has united with foreign tribes to invade our Yanzhou! At present, the Yellow Turban of Xuzhou was defeated and fled westward, and Runan County, the nest of thieves in Yuzhou, was in chaos, and took the opportunity to take this land of Yuzhou as a backing! That's the most important thing! Zixiao, don't forget, Son of Heaven, you've been in the hands of thieves for almost a year! ”

"This ...... Promise! Cao Ren's face turned red and blue, and finally it was as if he had swallowed the most difficult thing in the world. (To be continued......)
