Chapter 378: Diao Chan toasts

Lu Bu originally presented singing and dancing to Liu Ze to please Liu Ze, if Liu Ze liked it, he also took the opportunity to present a few singers to Liu Ze, so Liu Ze was not interested in this set at all, and Lu Bu had to stop talking about giving concubines, so he had to order his concubine, Diao Chan, who was also the dancer just now, to toast Liu Ze.

Diao Chan responded, stepped forward, bowed to each other, poured a full glass of wine for Liu Ze and said, "Please Liu Yuanjun drink this cup." ”

Originally, Liu Ze didn't squint at this group of singers, and he didn't look at them much, but when he heard Lu Bu's words, he couldn't help but think, Diao Chan? She is Diao Chan, one of the four beauties in the world? Liu Ze couldn't help but subconsciously glance at it.

Liu Ze is kneeling on the mat, although Diao Chan lowered his head, but he could still see Liu Ze when pouring wine, at this time, the four eyes were facing each other, Liu Ze's gaze instantly stiffened, and the face that would only appear in the dream appeared in front of him at this moment, stunning and smiling, the difference was that he was more mature and charming than before, he felt that his heartbeat was accelerating, almost a feeling of suffocation, and couldn't help shouting: "Hong'er-" The voice was low and hoarse.

Diao Chan's body trembled slightly, her face was pale, and there was a trace of panic and panic in her eyes, but this look was only fleeting, and her head was lowered, so that Liu Ze couldn't see her eyes, Diao Chan said very calmly: "Liu Yuanjun may have recognized the wrong person, the concubine's name is Diao Chan, and she is General Lu's concubine." After speaking, he slowly retreated.

Liu Ze stared at her stupidly, silent. Isn't she Hong'er? But how could it be. Are there really two people in the world who look exactly the same?

Lu Budao: "Could it be that Liu Envoy Jun is acquainted with the cheap room? ”

Liu Ze came back to his senses at this time, coughed lightly, slightly concealed Fang Cai's gaffe, and said: "Oh, no, Mrs. Zun's appearance is a little similar to an old man in Liu's early years, but this old man is long gone, and he sighs with feelings, and begs for forgiveness for his rudeness." ”

Lu Bu smiled: "This old man must also be Liu Yuanjun's confidante, right?" It's just a shame. Forgive me! ”

Liu Zehui smiled and said, "The past is gone." It's useless to say, you still have to drink it today. ”

At the banquet, Liu Ze and Lu Bu finalized the matter of garrisoning troops in Xiaopei, after all, it was not a way for Lu Bu's army to be stationed outside Xuzhou City. As for the food and grass needed by the army, Liu Ze naturally provided it. The parties agree. LΓΌ Bu's army obeyed Xuzhou's orders, and was under LΓΌ Bu's command, and was unified under Liu Ze's command during the war. Without military orders, Xiao Pei's army was not allowed to step past Liuxian, and if Cao Cao or other princes came to attack, they would retreat from the enemy. These rules are a copy of the garrison in Xiaopei agreed between Liu Ze and Tao Qian, so Liu Ze doesn't need to think about any more rules, just follow the rules.

Lu Bu was secretly happy, what he was most worried about was that Liu Ze would disrupt his army and place it in different places and different troops, once Liu Ze did this, his army would be torn apart, and it would be very difficult to accept his domination in a unified manner. So Lu Bu has been thinking about this problem, in case Liu Ze makes this request, Lu Bu is even ready to disobey the order and go elsewhere. Now Liu Ze proposed to place all his subordinates in Xiaopei, which made Lu Bu secretly relieved, compared to other counties in Xuzhou, Xiaopei is naturally much worse, but now is not the time for Lu Bu to be picky eaters, it is already very good to have a place to live.

Disrupting and reorganizing Lu Bu's army, Liu Ze didn't think about it, and it wasn't that he didn't want to do this, dividing and disintegrating Lu Bu's forces, this step was inevitable, and if he couldn't do it now, the time had not come. If you really want to dismantle Lu Bu's army now, it will inevitably cause strong dissatisfaction and suspicion on Lu Bu, and even Lu Bu will leave, so won't Liu Ze's overall plan be in vain? What's more, if Lu Bu's tens of thousands of people are disrupted and planted in the armies of Xuzhou, as long as Lu Bu still survives, it is impossible to lose control of these troops, and no matter where these tens of thousands of people are placed, they will be unstable factors. Therefore, Liu Ze has no such plan at this stage, and it is undoubtedly the wisest thing to place Lu Bu in Xiaopei.

At present, among the five counties of Xuzhou, except for Langya, which is not within the scope of Liu Ze's jurisdiction, the remaining four counties, Xiapi is the seat of Liu Ze's internal state governance, it is impossible for outsiders to get involved, Guangling is connected to Jiangdong in the south, is the south gate of Xuzhou, in the face of the strong rise of Jiangdong Sun Group, Guangling is under the heaviest pressure, is Liu Ze's defense area, and the East China Sea, Pengcheng is the hinterland of Xuzhou, it is impossible for others to get involved, the only thing left is Xiaopei.

Xiao Pei originally did not belong to Xuzhou, but was a county under the rule of Yuzhou, but now the world is in chaos, no matter who occupies the territory there, it seems to have become an unwritten rule. At this time, most of Yuzhou fell into the hands of Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, the weak eat the strong, and the Yuzhou assassin sent by the court has long existed in name only.

And Xiaopei is the barrier of Xuzhou, attacking Xuzhou must first Ke Xiaopei, when Tao Qian asked Liu Ze to garrison Xiaopei has the meaning of guarding Xuzhou, and now the task of defending Xuzhou falls on Lu Bu, Liu Ze generously promised to recommend Lu Bu to the court as the assassin of Yuzhou. According to the usual practice, this seal is on the court, regardless of whether the court is accurate or not, Lu Bu can be regarded as taking office. For Liu Ze, it was just a favor, but Lu Bu was very happy. snatching Yanzhou from Cao Cao's hands is really unknown, but when a nominal Yuzhou assassin is happily upset, Liu Ze can't help but laugh secretly in his heart.

Since this is the result that both parties like, the atmosphere of the banquet is more harmonious.

After the banquet, Liu Ze gave his hand to leave, and Lu Bu personally sent him out of the camp.

After the banquet was dispersed back to the camp, Lu Bu said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai, I can't see that Liu Runde is really a benevolent and virtuous gentleman, not only will Peiguo do his best, but also show me to be the assassin of Yuzhou, I am willing to do enough!" ”

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's appearance of being a little rich, and couldn't help but smile coldly in his heart, but according to Lu Bu's wolf appearance now, it would be good to have a place to bend down, where is there the possibility of him picking three or four, Chen Gong kindly reminded him: "The lord must not be careless, Xiaopei is adjacent to Yanzhou, Cao Cao may commit Xiaopei at any time, and he must not be guarded against." ”

Lu Bu laughed heartily and said: "Don't worry, since I have set up an offensive and defensive alliance with Liu Yuanjun, even if Cao Cao comes, with the big backing of Xuzhou, do you still need to be afraid of Cao Cao?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Just above the banquet, I saw that Liu Ze couldn't take his eyes off Mrs. Ru, and seemed to have a sense of love, and I also heard that after Liu Ze arrived in Xuzhou, even the Nagan family and the Mi family were all stunning beauties, and their lustful people can be seen." If the lord gives Mrs. Ru to Liu Ze, he will win Liu Ze's trust, and great things can be accomplished. "Giving away concubines was a custom among scholars and doctors at that time, so Chen Gong said it lightly.

Lu Bu said angrily: "Diao Chan is my beloved concubine, how can she be used as a gift?" ”

Chen Gong said disapprerovingly: "In the past, Lu Buwei gave Ji to Zichu and the power of the world, the eldest husband stood in the world, should take merit first, lose a Ji and gain the territory of a state, is it not clear which is more important?" ”

Lu Bu pondered for a moment and said, "Let's step down from the public platform first, let me think about this matter again." ”

Chen Gong surrendered, and Lu Bu went back to the back tent to see Diao Chan, but saw Diao Chan secretly weeping there. Lu Bu was suspicious and said, "Can you meet Liu Ze?" ”

Diao Chan hurriedly wiped away her tears and said: "The concubine is the daughter of Wang Situ, although she is not her own, but she treats her as her own, the concubine has been raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and she has never met a man, so how can she know Liu Yuanjun." At the time of the previous account, Liu Yuanjun completely ignored the identity of the concubine and looked at it wantonly, presumably he also knew that the concubine had served Dong Zhuo, and knew that the concubine was not a good person, and the concubine was miserable physically and mentally, so he wept. Diao Chan's words were earnest, complaining and tactful, and tears slipped down one by one like pearls that had fallen off.

Seeing this, Lu Bu couldn't bear it, stepped forward and took Diao Chan into his arms, and said: "It's my bad that let you follow me around, suffer so much, and suffer from the eyes of others, and make a thousand mistakes, only for the husband." ”

Diao Chan said in a low voice: "The concubine is already a general, and she is determined in this life and this life, as long as the general is merciful, the concubine will die without regrets." ”

Lu Bu let go of Diao Chan, his face showed hesitation, and he stopped talking.

Diao Chan saw that Lu Bu's expression was wrong, and asked, "What is on the general's mind?" ”

Lu Bu said hesitantly: "Cicada, you also know, we fled here from Yanzhou, we are extremely downtrodden, we need to rely on Liu Zhoumu to have a place to stand, today at the banquet in front of the tent, I see that Liu Zhoumu is very fond of you, it is better for you to follow Liu Zhoumu, and enjoy the glory and wealth." ”

Diao Chan was shocked and cried: "Why did the general say this? You and I have a deep affection, why will I abandon it in the future, it should not be from the general's original intention, it must be instigated by someone, is it Chen Gong who offered this plan? ”

Lu Bu nodded helplessly, and said: "What the public platform said, there is also some truth, the cicada follows me to the Kanto, there is no fixed place, it is difficult to protect day and night, and I have suffered from the cold and warmth of the world, how can I bear it, now Liu Yuanjun is the pastor of a state, if you follow him, you can also avoid the suffering of upheaval, and I can rest assured." ”

Diao Chan cried silently and said: "In Chang'an, the concubine was already a general, only hated the old thief Dong Zhuo, forcibly occupied the concubine, so she lost herself to the old thief, and was rescued by the general, the concubine was able to escape from the clutches, the concubine had sworn that day, in this life, never to do the second husband again, although the general was exiled in Kanto, the concubine body is also no regrets, today the general is determined to give the concubine away, the concubine body has no shame, only to die!" As he spoke, he pulled out the sword on the wall and wanted to kill himself. (To be continued......)
