However, it was said that Feng Xian and his party went east to visit Tanxian, and Liu Bei came to greet him very warmly, and said: "General Lu is coming, and he is ready to miss the distance, and I ask for forgiveness." ”

Feng Xian smiled and said, "Xuande is too polite; Lu Bu came to disturb this time, I don't know if it is inconvenient for Xuande? ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "It's convenient and convenient; General Lü, please follow me into the city to rest, and later I will order someone to prepare a banquet for the general. ”

Feng Xian said, "My tent is a few miles to the west; I have ordered someone to prepare a banquet, and this time I have specially invited Xuande to my camp for a gathering; I don't know if Xuande is willing to stoop to go? ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised, but said: "The general came from afar, and he should have come to fulfill the friendship of the landlord; How can there be a reason for a guest to entertain the host? ”

Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Hehe, Xuande doesn't know, I've never paid attention to that set of false etiquette; If Xuande can afford Lu Bu, please follow me to the camp for a gathering; If Xuande looks down on Lu Bu, then I will have to go home. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "General Lu is serious; Since the general personally came to invite Liu Bei, how dare Bei brush off the general's intentions? Please lead the way, the general. ”

Feng Xian stretched out his hand and signaled, "Xuande, please get in the car." ”

Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "Thank you, general." ”

Immediately, Liu Bei got into the chariot that Feng Xian specially brought this time, and dozens of guards such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei followed him to the camp where Feng Xian was.

After arriving at the camp, Zhang Miao stepped forward to greet him, smiled and said, "Hehe, Liu Yuanjun, Zhang Mengzhuo is polite." ”

After Liu Bei got out of the car, he couldn't help but hurriedly return the salute: "Don't dare, don't dare; I never thought that Zhang Taishou was also there, Liu Bei was polite. ”

Zhang Miao smiled and said: "Make you polite; After a few years of separation, the gentleman is still heroic, and now he is living a good life, right? ”

Liu Bei chuckled and said, "Where, where; Thanks to Mrs. Zhang's concern, the preparation is quite passable. ”

At this time, Feng Xian couldn't help but say: "Meng Zhuo, don't let Xuande stand outside the camp, let's go and sit down in the tent and continue to talk about the past." ”

Zhang Miao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, you see that I almost neglected the king; Please take a seat in the tent. ”

Liu Bei replied: "Don't dare, don't dare." ”

Suddenly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side looked at each other, looking very puzzled.

Subsequently, everyone entered Fengxian's tent, but saw Ren Hongchang sitting on the bed with his daughter in his arms at the moment, accompanied by Du Shi Niang. Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly wanted to avoid it, and said, "Ouch, General Lu, I'm afraid I'm going into the wrong camp, right?" ”

Feng Xian smiled and said: "Don't doubt Xuande, this is a person from Bunei, and the little girl in his arms is in his arms; Xuande, please take a seat, and wait for the missionary insiders to come and salute you. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but say, "How can this be deserved? ”

Zhang Miao said: "It deserves it; So you don't need to worry too much, you will know the reason later. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "In this case, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”

Immediately, Feng Xian motioned for Liu Bei to sit on the bed. Ren Hongchang handed his daughter to Du Shi Niang on the side to hug, and then gave him a salute and said, "The concubine is so polite." ”

Liu Bei hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Madame is polite." ”

At this time, Feng Xian smiled and said: "Xuande, from now on, you and I will be considered a family; Bu is thirty-five years old this year, I don't know Xuande Guigeng? ”

Liu Bei felt a little inexplicable when he heard this, but he still replied: "Oh, Bei is thirty-four years old." ”

Feng Xian said: "In this case, I will call Xuande a "virtuous brother". ”

Liu Bei blinked when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "I don't know what General Lu means by this?" ”

At this time, Zhang Miao on the side smiled and said: "Hehe, let Meng Zhuo solve the doubts for the envoy; To tell the truth, General Lu came here to form an alliance with the envoy, and the two families could become sons and daughters and support each other in the future; I don't know what to do with your will? ”

However, he said that Tao Qian recommended Liu Bei as the assassin of Yuzhou before, and then Liu Bei led the army to be stationed in Peicheng. Tao Qian learned that Liu Bei's original partner had been mourned, so he told him another family matter, that is, Mrs. Gan. And just some time ago, Mrs. Gan gave birth to a son named Liu Bei Chang. This is Liu Bei's eldest son in history.

When Liu Bei heard this, he was immediately relieved. For the matter of getting married, he is also willing in his heart. In his opinion, if he can get the help of Feng Xian and me, it must not be a fantasy to sweep the world and establish a hegemony. Immediately, he smiled and said, "I see; Thanks to General Lu for not giving up, this is Liu Bei's honor. ”

Zhang Miao immediately smiled: "Hehe, this time the two families got married, which is really gratifying." ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on the side looked at each other and couldn't help but smile. Suddenly, Guan Yu couldn't help but look at Du Siniang, who was holding a child on the side, and there seemed to be some strange look in his eyes.

At this time, Feng Xian said to Qin Yi on the side: "Yilu, order someone to serve the food." ”

"No." Qin Yi left in response.

Afterwards, everyone took their seats. After the wine and food came up, everyone suddenly talked about national affairs.

Suddenly, Feng Xian couldn't help but sigh and said: "Brother Xuande and I are both from the frontier, and I can understand the suffering of the people; Dong Zhuo was good at government before, and I have been bending down to serve him because he has treated me kindly; Then I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to kill him, and his henchmen Li Dao, Guo Yan and others rebelled, captured Xijing, and held the Son of Heaven hostage; I came to Kanto because I was weak, and I wanted to ask the generals to discuss the matter of welcoming the Son of Heaven, but the generals were only concerned with attacking each other; What's more, there are still people who want to kill me, this time it's really chilling! ”

Zhang Miao couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, most of the generals in the Kwantung region now have selfish desires and refuse to take the Son of Heaven and the country to heart for personal interests, which really makes people feel cold; However, Liu Yuanjun must be a person who cares about the Han family, and with Liu Yuanjun's help this time, it must be possible to help the Han family. ”

Liu Bei smiled and said: "What Zhang Taishou said is very true; Beiben is a descendant of the Han family, and he should do his best. ”

At this time, Liu Bei couldn't help muttering in his heart, he didn't expect Feng Xian's heart to still want to welcome the Son of Heaven to return to the east. If he really wants to welcome the Son of Heaven back, then his ambition is probably about to come to naught.

When they returned, they informed me of the success of the alliance, but I already knew about it. I am also very happy that the two companies can successfully form an alliance, after all, this is a key step in determining the future direction of history.

In other words, after Liu Bei returned to Tancheng, he couldn't help but look a little worried. Most of the others thought that he was worried about the situation like today, but only Chen Deng, the captain of the agricultural school, knew his thoughts.

So, Chen Deng asked Liu Bei: "Duke Ming is worried that the hegemony in the future will be obstructed by Lu Bu and Shaoran?" ”

Liu Bei was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled and said, "Where, I'm just worried about the Son of Heaven who is in trouble now." ”

Chen Deng shook his head with a disapproving smile and said, "Why did Ming Gong want to deceive Chen Deng? Could it be that he is doubting Chen Deng's character? ”

Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Hey, Yuanlong is too worried, how can Xuande doubt your personality?" ”

Chen Deng said: "In this case, why didn't Ming Gong tell Chen Deng the truth? ”

Liu Bei looked at Chen Deng with a deep groan, and wanted to inform him of his ambitions, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. Then he smiled again and said, "Yuanlong is really worried; What Xuande said is true, where can there be the meaning of deceiving Yuanlong. ”

Chen Deng smiled disappreciatively, and said: "Since Ming Gong doesn't believe Chen Deng, then Chen Deng will no longer force it; It's just that Chen Deng wants to warn Ming Gong that now Lu Bu and Shao Ran are at the end of the crossbow, and Yuan Shu is still eyeing one side, if he fights with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao again, Yu Minggong's hegemony in the future will not be of much benefit; Wangming Gong is good for himself. ”

Liu Bei couldn't help but look at Chen Deng silently, feeling that these words spoke to his heart. But at the moment, it is not good to turn your back on the Han family, otherwise you will be spurned by the world. So, he said: "What Yuan Long said is wrong; General Lu and the major general were both heroes and heroes at that time, and they also had the ambition to help the Han family; Xuande should help the two of them, how can he not be trustworthy? ”

Chen Deng said: "As the saying goes, soldiers are not tired of deceit; Xinyi is only for his own people, and Ming Gong has the ambition of a hero, so why does he not have the spirit of a hero? ”

Liu Bei was dumbfounded, and then chuckled again, and said: "The parents of the one who gave birth to me, and Chen Yuanlong, the one who knows me!" ”

If you want to achieve hegemony in troubled times, you really have to figure out who can be friends and who is destined to be enemies. As the saying goes, there are no eternal friends and enemies, only eternal interests. However, from the perspective of human nature, this is only the perception of selfish people, and it is not conducive to the development of the human population. Logically speaking, only by giving up pointless bloody battles can mankind truly move towards the road to prosperity. (To be continued.) )
