Lü Bu promised a marriage with Yuan Shu, and soon after, he sent an army from Huainan County.

The army was led by a general with a full beard and a wide face.

This person is none other than Ji Ling, the first fierce general under Yuan Shao.

Armed with a three-pointed knife, Ji Ling led a Huainan army of 80,000 people, drove out of Shouchun City and headed straight for Xuzhou.

The target of Ji Ling's army was not Lu Bu, who was sitting in Xuzhou, but Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei.

The army of Ji Ling that drove out of Shouchun City was still on the way to Xiaopei. Xiao Pei rushed out of the city of more than a dozen fast horses.

On the first horse, it was Liu Bei, who was taken by Lu Bu and captured Xuzhou, and now he is temporarily stationed in Xiaopei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei naturally followed Liu Bei out of the city together.

In addition to the servants, they were followed by more than a dozen of Liu Bei's personal soldiers.

Riding his horse all the way, Liu Bei's target turned out to be Xuzhou City, which had been taken away by Lu Bu before.

led Guan Yu and others to rush to the city of Xuzhou, the sky had already darkened, and Xuzhou had passed the time to close the city gate.

"Hurry up!" Reined in the war horse and standing under the city, Liu Bei raised his face and shouted to Lu Bujun at the head of the city: "A certain is Liu Bei, there is an urgent matter to ask for Wen Hou!" ”

An officer at the head of the city heard the shout and quickly poked his head out to look at the city.

Seeing that it was Liu Bei who was standing under the city, the officer turned his head and ordered the soldiers behind him: "Go and inform Wen Hou, just say that Liu Xuande led several people to ask for a meeting." ”

The soldier answered, turned around and ran quickly down the city wall, heading straight for the Xuzhou government.

In the official mansion, Lu Bu was in Diao Chan's room, and was about to rest, when he got the news that Liu Bei came, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.

"Tell Liu Xuande to wait in the front hall." Frowning slightly, Lu Bu gave an order to the soldier.

The soldier answered, turned and left the palace, heading towards the city gate.

Lu Bu in the house was about to get up, and Diao Chan, who had already covered the bed, came to him with a slight twist of his waist, and asked him softly: "Wen Hou is going to meet that Liu Bei at this moment?" ”

"Exactly!" Lu Bu, who looked a little bored with a little annoyance, said to Diao Chan: "Xuzhou was won by someone, after all, he owes Liu Bei a little, so Liu Bei must have something to ask for when he came at this time." If you don't go, you'll be ruined. Let's go and see what he has to say. ”

"Hmm!" Helping Lu Bu straighten out his clothes, Diao Chan said to Lu Bu softly: "Wen Hou will come back early, and the concubine will wait for Wen Hou." ”

Reaching out to take Diao Chan into his arms, Lu Bu's palm gently pressed on one of her **** petals, and said to her in the same gentle tone: "Come when you go." ”

Sent Lu Bu all the way to the door, leaning on the door frame, looking at Lu Bu's back, a sweet smile appeared on the corner of Diao Chan's mouth.

Since ancient times, she has a thin life, and before she met Lu Bu and Liu Wei, she only gave people the life of a slave and a maid, and she didn't know what it was like to be truly loved by a man.

She once favored Liu Wei because he saved her in Chang'an.

But Liu Wei has always been reluctant to get too close to her, and it was not until the moment when Lu Bu rebelled in Luoyang City that she completely understood that Liu Wei was just a kind of guilt that she had used, and Lu Bu was the man who treated her sincerely.

Since then, Liu Wei's figure has gradually blurred in Diao Chan's memory, and Lu Bu has become the only man she thinks can be pinned on for life.

Striding out of the back garden, Lu Bu walked straight towards the main hall in the front yard.

Arriving at the door of the main hall, a soldier guarding the main hall entered the hall first and lit the white candle in the hall.

More than a dozen white candles burned, and the dancing flames reflected the hall brightly.

Pressing the hilt of the sword into the hall, Lu Bu sat down in the first seat in the hall first, quietly waiting for Liu Bei to come.

Xuzhou City is Lu Bu's territory, if he sees others, maybe he doesn't know how to wear a sword, it can be seen that Liu Bei, he has to wear a sword.

Under Chen Gong's reminder, Lu Bu had already seen Liu Bei's face clearly.

Lu Bu returned Liu Bei's family in order to let Liu Bei not regret abandoning Xuzhou in his heart, so that he could settle in Xiaopei with peace of mind.

But Liu Bei's actions clearly showed that he had no feelings for the two ladies at all, a man could be so indifferent to a woman who was in love with him, who else would he have in his heart?

Chen Gong moved a little, and Lu Bu already clearly realized that Liu Bei was a man who could completely ignore even the women around him for the sake of power.

After waiting in the hall for a short time, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and walked quickly towards the front hall.

As soon as they walked outside the door of the front hall, Liu Bei and the others had not had time to raise their feet to enter the hall, and two guards guarding the door stepped to block their way.

One of the guards stretched out his hand to block Liu Bei and the others from going, and said to Liu Bei: "Just let you in, and the two generals please wait outside the door." ”

Stopped by the guard, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stepped forward and made a gesture to set the guard aside.

Liu Bei, who was standing in front of the two, hurriedly opened his arms, stopped the two, and said to them: "The two virtuous brothers are waiting here, just enter and talk to Wen Hou!" ”

As soon as they stood up and were stopped by Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei snorted coldly, stood side by side at the door, and stared coldly at Lu Bu who was sitting in the room.

Sitting in the house head-on, Lu Bu saw that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were about to fight with the guards.

He didn't move, just waiting to see what Liu Bei would do.

Sure enough, Liu Bei was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly stopped the two.

Seeing this scene, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth pulled out a smile that ordinary people could not notice, and his eyes looked at Liu Bei, who had already raised his feet and entered the hall, without blinking.

"Warm wait!" Entering the hall, Liu Bei just greeted Lu Bu, and suddenly tears slid down his cheeks, walked a few steps forward, knelt in front of Lu Bu with a "poof", and shouted to Lu Bu with a cry: "Wen wait to save me!" ”

Although he knew that Liu Bei was really not very good, he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, he would kneel and cry, and Lu Bu was also a little panicked for a while.

He hurriedly stood up, walked to Liu Bei's side, stretched out his hand to help Liu Bei up, and said to Liu Bei: "What's the matter with the envoy, but it doesn't matter, why is this so?" ”

Helped up by Lu Bu, Liu Bei held Lu Bu's arm with both hands, and said to Lu Bu: "Ji Ling led the army to come and pointed directly at Xiao Pei. The soldiers and horses under the command are not as good as Ji Ling, how to resist? Wen Hou and Bei Nai have a brotherhood, and I hope that Wen Hou will not abandon each other before the catastrophe! ”

"Rest assured!" Knowing that Liu Bei was because Ji Ling led the army to Xiaopei, and made a special trip to ask for help, Lu Bu felt that if he didn't save him, he was afraid that he would not be able to make a sense in front of the world in the future, so he said to Liu Bei: "Please stay in Xuzhou for two days, and tomorrow someone will go to ask Ji Ling to come to Xuzhou and mediate for you." ”

When Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, he wanted to ask Lu Bu to send troops to help, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu just wanted to mediate between him and Ji Ling, and he was stunned for a moment before asking Lu Bu: "Wen Hou mediated, if Ji Ling is not satisfied, what should I do?" ”

"If Ji Ling is not convinced, he will lead the army to beat him!" Waving his hand at Liu Bei, Lu Bu said to Liu Bei: "Let you live in peace for a day, and stay until tomorrow, and you will definitely ask Ji Ling to retreat." ”

With Lu Bu's promise, although Liu Bei was not very stable in his heart, he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to tell Lu Bu to retire and exit the front hall.

When Liu Bei left, Lu Bu shouted outside the hall: "Go quickly and invite the public platform." ”

Liu Bei withdrew from the front hall of the Xuzhou official mansion, and together with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, under the guidance of a soldier of Lu Bujun, and lived in the outer courtyard of the Xuzhou official mansion.

Chen Gong, who was summoned by Lu Bu, had already fallen asleep, but when he heard that Lu Bu was looking for him, he hurriedly left the mansion and hurried to the Xuzhou official mansion.

"Gongtai!" Lu Bu, who had been waiting for a while, saw Chen Gong coming, hurriedly stood up, walked over to Chen Gong, who had just entered the front hall, and arrived in front of Chen Gong, and waited until Chen Gong had finished saluting him, and then asked Chen Gong: "Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to lead the army to Xiaopei, and only then did Liu Bei come and ask someone to mediate." A certain has promised him that Ji Ling will come to Xuzhou tomorrow to mediate for them, what does the public station think? ”

"If Yuan Shu defeats Liu Bei, the next step is to crusade against Wen Hou!" Twisting the beard on his chin, Chen Gong frowned slightly, and groaned for a while before saying to Lu Bu: "But if Wen Hou helps that Liu Bei, when he has enough wings, I'm afraid it will also be bad for Wen Hou!" ”

"In this way, it's not good to help, and it's not good not to help?" Frowning and looking at Chen Gong standing in front of him, Lu Bu said to him: "With the meaning of the public platform, how can this situation be broken?" ”

"And solve this crisis for Liu Bei!" Frowning tightly, Chen Gong thought for a moment, and then said to Lu Bu: "In the near future, the king of Luoyang will send hundreds of war horses to Wen Hou. Although the war horse must be the horse of the Luoyang Army, for Liu Bei, it is a precious ......"

"Gongtai means ......" Before Chen Gong's words fell, Lu Bu stared at his face with a little wisdom without blinking, and asked him: "Deliberately ordered to let the team transporting war horses pass by Xiaopei, Liu Bei or will see the profit?" ”

"Liu Bei doesn't dare!" Chen Gong smiled and waved his hand, and said to Lu Bu: "It's just that his two brothers are quite dissatisfied with Wen Hou. I think it will rob Wen Hou's war horse, and Wen Hou will have enough reason to move troops against Liu Bei! ”

Listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes twice, and said with some hesitation: "Liu Bei is in Xuzhou right now, if you do it at that time, it is better to take the opportunity to kill him......"

"Never!" Before Lu Bu finished speaking, Chen Gong took over his words and said to him: "Wen Hou won Xuzhou earlier, and it was already a loss. Liu Bei came to ask for help in person now, if Wen Hou killed him again, he would definitely be laughed at by the heroes of the world. Who will dare to ally with Wen Hou again in the future? ”
