Hearing that Lu Bu had led the army to arrive, Liu Ze personally led his subordinates out of the city to greet him, and fulfilled the friendship of the landlord.

Lu Bu also saw Liu Ze, hurriedly dismounted, stepped forward, and bowed: "Lu Bu see Liu Yuanjun!" ”

Liu Ze replied with a smile: "When Chang'an and Wenhou parted, several years passed in a hurry, and I didn't expect that Wenhou still had the same demeanor back then. ”

Lu Bu was also a little embarrassed, when he was in Chang'an, Liu Ze and him were still enemies of each other, and he couldn't imagine that he was downcast today, and he still had to send his enemies to the next day. "I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, Bu Shang was under Wang Situ that day, forced by his duties, he offended Liu Yuanjun, and begged for forgiveness."

Liu Ze said with a smile: "On that day, each was his master, and Wen Hou fulfilled his duties, what was wrong?" It was thanks to the mercy of Wen Hou's subordinates that day that Liu Ze was able to get out safely, otherwise he would not have what he sees today. ”

Lu Bu was embarrassed, how could he have had a merciful move by his subordinates back then, but because Liu Ze held Wang Yun's son hostage, he didn't dare to act rashly, and Lu Bu also revealed Liu Ze's whereabouts to Niu Fu, intending to kill people with a knife, and finally Liu Ze saw through his trick and escaped by detouring to Longmen Mountain. This matter is tacitly understood by each other, and Liu Ze said this, which made Lu Bu extremely embarrassed.

"That's because Liu Yuanjun has a good star, so he can be safe, and it is not a certain merit. Although Dong Zhuo was ambushed, the rest of the evils were rampant, and the cloth was scattered in the eastern part of the country, although he had the skill of punishing the thief, he was not tolerated by the princes. The former Cao Cao was unkind, poisoned Xuzhou, Meng Liu made Jun fight to save each other, Fang Bao was safe, and Bu also had the heart to save Xuzhou, so he attacked Yanzhou, which was regarded as encircling Wei to save Zhao. only sigh that the thief is treacherous. Repeated tricks, Bou was defeated because of this. ”

Mi Zhu, Chen Deng and the others listened to Lu Bu's boastful words, and they all changed color in shock. Liu Ze smiled slightly, this Lu Bu's cheeks are so thick, the Han Dynasty is one of the best, you attacked Yanzhou, it is clear that you are greedy for other people's city territory, and Wei Wei to save Zhao is something that can't be fought with eight poles, even though objectively speaking, Lu Bu did relieve the siege of Xuzhou, but when he said this, he changed his taste. Putting gold on his face. It can only make people feel that the face is more shameless.

Chen Gong also felt that Lu Bu's words were a bit excessive, what was intended to save Xuzhou, what was encircled by Wei to save Zhao, this and that. The former, he and Lu Bu said that they had the virtue of helping Xuzhou. That's a tacit thing. They are all smart people, so why do you need to break it, do you need to make a proud gesture? You don't say that people understand in their hearts, but your mouth seems shallow and shameless. No wonder the officials in Xuzhou are all unkind. Chen Gong hurriedly came forward to play a round and said: "Wen Hou has long admired Liu Yuanjun to be benevolent and kind, and he is a corporal of courtesy, so he is like-minded. ”

Liu Ze looked at Chen Gong, dressed as a Confucian scholar, of medium stature, with a sharp mouth, sword eyebrows, with a bit of coldness, thinking that this person must be the only think tank Chen Gong under Lu Bu's account, and said quietly: "Who is the honorable driver?" ”

Lu Bu also felt that he was a little out of his mouth, and when he saw Liu Ze asking, he hurriedly said: "This is Chen Gongtai, the former Taishou Chen Palace of the Eastern County. ”

Liu Zehan said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Gongtai, and I have admired him for a long time." Mr. Su Wen has a lot of tricks and no last resort, Puyang design, almost let Cao Cao die in the fire, if Wen Hou listened to Mr. 's strategy, he may not have today's defeat. ”

A sentence stabbed straight into Chen Gong's heart, to be honest, Lu Bu had already listened to his Jianyi, and sent troops to guard Kang's father's main road, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops had no food and no grass, and they starved to death in the south of Mount Tai, Lu Bu's stubbornness and self-use courage and lack of strategy made Chen Gong have a headache, and his repeated suggestions were not adopted, otherwise it was really as Liu Ze said, how could there be today's defeat. Chen Gong was silent at the moment.

Lu Bu was also slightly embarrassed, and wanted to open his mouth again, but he didn't know where to start.

Liu Ze smiled heartily and said: "This is not the place to talk, Liu Mou prepared a thin feast in the city to wash the dust for Wen Hou and the generals, please!" ”

Lü Bu wanted to enter the city, but it was impossible for the tens of thousands of horses and horses he brought with his men to enter the city, so Lü Bu ordered the army to camp outside the city.

At this moment, I suddenly saw dust flying in the northwest direction, and countless people and horses were roaring, whether it was Lu Bu's side or Xuzhou's side, they were all shocked.

While everyone was speculating, a black horse rushed over like a hurricane, it was not someone else, it was Zhang Fei.

"Yide, where did you come from?" Liu Ze couldn't help but say in surprise.

Zhang Fei glanced at Lu Bu with slanted eyes, and said proudly: "Little brother suspects that someone is plotting against him, so he is here to escort him!" ”

Lu Bu's face was flushed, and although he had resentment in his heart, he didn't dare to attack.

Liu Ze reprimanded: "The third brother is rude, Lu Wenhou is sincere to vote this time, and he will be robed in the future." Since you have come with your troops, you should camp outside the city, and then go into the city for a feast. ”

Zhang Fei responded, glanced at Lu Bu more, and strode down to set up camp. Lü Bu's camp was to the west of Tancheng, and Zhang Fei set up his military camp in the southwest of Tancheng, far away from Lü Bu's barracks.

"Brother is reckless, please bear with me." Liu Ze arched his hand.

"How dare you, General Zhang is a man of temperament, but it makes Lu admire."

"Please—"

Liu Ze and Lu Bu and their entourage all returned to the city and went to the state governor's mansion. The state pastoral mansion has already prepared a reception banquet, which is full of luxury. Lu Bu naturally sat in the chief, Liu Ze accompanied him in the main seat, the first column on the right are all Xuzhou officials, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jia Xu, Xu Shu, Mi Zhu, Chen Deng, Cao Bao, Tai Shici, the first column on the left are all Lu Bu's subordinate generals, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, Gao Shun, greet each other, introduce each other, cold and polite, but also harmonious.

Of course, Zhang Fei is an exception, like a stuffy gourd, he sits there without snorting, does not greet people, and pours himself a drink. People here in Xuzhou know Zhang Fei's character, when he is happy, he drinks three or four, he is extremely arrogant, when he is unhappy, he likes to drink stuffy, no one dares to provoke him, and whoever provokes him is anxious. The people in Xuzhou all know Zhang Fei's virtue, naturally no one pays attention to him, and no one on Lu Bu's side dares to step forward, and people only think that Zhang Fei does not exist.

Lu Bu arched his hand and said: "Lu is not talented, and he is ashamed to be treated so kindly by Liu Yuanjun." ”

Liu Ze smiled slightly, raised his glass and said, "Wen Hou is polite, a little vulgar feast, why worry about it." Wen Hou slashed Dong thief, for the world to remove the evil spirit, the merit is in the community, all the people admire, a certain heart to make friends, only hate the shallow fortune, today to meet, come and come, please serve the first brother to drink this cup, in order to celebrate today's meeting. ”

Lu Bu said: "Bu is displaced in the Kanto, taste the evil of weak human feelings, I have heard for a long time that Runde is both benevolent and virtuous, and I have to meet today, I know that what I said is true, and Runde is a true benevolent gentleman." He raised his glass and drank it all.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, under the influence of alcohol, the atmosphere of the banquet will naturally be lively. Guan Yu and Zhang Liaoju are from Hedong, and when they meet at this time, they naturally talk very happily, and they have the intention of hating each other. Lu Bu's subordinates Cao Xing, Hao Meng and others also raised their glasses frequently, and politely chattered with Tai Shici and Chen Deng.

Lu Bu is not good at drinking, a few glasses of wine will flutter in the stomach, and the words are also extremely arrogant, and Liu Ze is talking about the heroes of the world, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and others are in Lu Bu's mouth, it is worthless, as for Jiangdong Sun Ce, Youzhou Gongsun Zhan, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Yizhou Liu Zhang and other princes, Lu Bu is also degraded, there are heroes in the world, only Bu and the taste of the king's ear.

Lu Bu has a very high opinion of himself, a red rabbit horse under his crotch, and a halberd in the palm of his hand, if he fights alone, at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lu Bu does have few opponents, which is also the capital of Lu Bu who looks down on the world. However, war cannot be a one-person business, no matter how high Lu Bu's ability is, it is impossible to be single-handed, so the result can only be a wall everywhere and disgraced. The distance between the ideal and the reality is so far away that it only makes Lu Bu sigh that he was born at the wrong time.

Liu Ze watched coldly, Lu Bu's tragedy is not so much to blame the times, it is unfair, in the final analysis, it is Lu Bu who does not have a correct positioning for himself. Does Lu Bu have the ability? There is no doubt about it, but he is just suitable for charging into battle, as a pawn, he is not even qualified to be handsome and strategic, let him be the prince of the world, isn't it a joke! In fact, history gave him the opportunity to be Ding Yuan's subordinate, Dong Zhuo's subordinate, and even Yuan Shu's subordinate Yuan Shao, but he did not cherish these opportunities, and chose betrayal again and again, and finally became infamous.

When his reputation was discredited and there was no way out, God still took pity on him and gave him a chance again, so that the benevolent Uncle Liu Huang took him in, if Lu Bu could reposition himself at this time and follow Uncle Liu with all his heart, even if Uncle Liu Huang still couldn't hold Xuzhou in the end, but Lu Bu could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Five Tiger Generals and become the founding hero of Shu Han. But a wolf is a wolf after all, and his greedy nature makes him choose betrayal once again and go to the road of destruction. Will Cao Cao give Lu Bu another chance? It's impossible, even if it weren't for Liu Bei's words, Cao Cao would have killed Lu Bu, because Cao Cao was a traitor, and he couldn't tolerate a more treacherous person than him.

Lu Bu scolded Liu Bei angrily before he died: "Big ears are the most unbelievable!" "It is true that Liu Bei is not very kind, but throughout history, Uncle Liu Huang is worthy of Lu Bu, and people pulled you in the most dangerous time, but you don't know how to repay it, and in turn take away other people's states and counties, it can only be you Lu Bu who is sorry for Liu Bei. In fact, not only Liu Bei, Lu Bu is sorry for too many people, Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, Er Yuan, Zhang Yang and his subordinates, these subordinates have been following you loyally, but Lu Bu doesn't even understand the truth that rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, he loves all the generals, and when he goes to the point of betraying his relatives, Lu Bu is not unjustly dead.
