February 10, afternoon.

The spring is bright, although it is still a little cold, but the warm sun shines on people lazily, very comfortable.

Ten miles south of Pi City, outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road.

Liu Bei was dressed in the crown of a general, and Tian Fan, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu, who were dressed as scribes, sat in the small pavilion, chatting while waiting for the arrival of Sun Quan and his party.

The alliance with Jiangdong was an oral agreement between Tian Fan and Sun Ce, and the agreement at that time was that as long as the Xuzhou army could destroy Yuan Shu three years before Jian'an, this alliance would be automatically reached. That is, the covenant has already been determined. A few days ago, Sun Ce sent someone to deliver the news, planning to send Sun Quan to make a trip, and the two parties officially signed the alliance. But for some reason, Sun Ce changed his mind without warning, and sent Zhang Zhao, Sun Quan and Tai Shici to come at one time.

If it was just Sun Quan, then Liu Bei could have let Tian Fan greet him alone, but Zhang Zhao was different. This person is a famous man who has already become famous, and he should not be delayed.

Looking at the sky, Liu Bei frowned and said, "Boguang, it's time to arrive, right?" It is said that it is the first moment of the Shen time, and now that there is the Shen time, can't you come a quarter of an hour earlier? ”

Tian Fan looked at the sky and said with a smile: "Lord, you can rest assured, they have made precise calculations every day when they go there, and it is impossible to be late." ”

Xu Shu smiled and said, "Lord, what Boguang said is reasonable!" Since Jiangdong and his entourage arrived in Guangling, their daily journey has not exceeded fifty miles, and the number of places they get to every day has been carefully calculated, even ...... Hehe, even their drivers are specially trained to control the speed of the car, so that the speed is even, and whenever they reach their destination, the error will not be a quarter of an hour in the morning and evening. You can see that they put a lot of thought into it! ”

Jia Xu's thin face rarely put a smile on it, and he smiled and said: "Lord, they are building momentum, and they want to tell us that they are not in a hurry about the alliance!" After a slight pause, he continued: "I heard people say that Zhang Zibu is pedantic, and when I see it today, I'm afraid it won't happen!" ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

Liu Bei shook his head and said with a smile: "Hehe, it's a pity, this kind of trick is useless for you to see." Well, let them continue without a hurry, and we'll wait! ”

At this moment, a fast horse galloped forward. There were still twenty steps away from the small pavilion, and the knight did not slow down, jumped off the war horse, strode to the small pavilion, hugged his fists and said: "Lord Qiqi, Jiangdong and his party are still one mile away from here!" ”

Liu Bei waved his hand and said, "I know, go down and rest!" ”

The knight clenched his fists and said, "No! ”

Liu Bei smiled and said: "The guesses of several people are really good, it seems that they are planning to arrive a little earlier!" ”

Xu Shu and Jia Xu smiled and did not answer.

Tian Fan looked into the distance along the road, and sure enough, a convoy of vehicles not far ahead was slowly coming. He couldn't help but sigh a little, hey, Zhang Zhao is really a character, this time is too accurate, right? By the time the convoy arrived at the kiosk, it happened to be a little earlier, five minutes at most. did not let Liu Bei and his party wait, but did not appear to be too anxious, neither rude, nor weakened his own momentum.

Liu Bei and the others also noticed the convoy, but they didn't rush out to greet them, and the three of them continued to talk and laugh.

Tian Fan looked at the three of them, and he didn't rush to meet them. He couldn't help but laugh, these three are not easy to bully, you Zhang Zhao made this set of flashy things, you must have the consciousness of suffering. However, Jia Xu had only been in Xuzhou for a long time, and he had formed such a tacit understanding with Xu Shu, Tian Fan was very surprised.

When there were still thirty steps away from the small pavilion, Sun Quan poked his head out and looked in the direction of the small pavilion, only to see that the four people in the pavilion were still sitting peacefully, and they had no intention of coming out to greet them. He couldn't help but shake his head and let out a long sigh. Mr. Zhang Zibu is proficient in internal affairs and is a rare talent, but unfortunately his temperament is too pedantic and deeply poisoned by Confucianism.

However, after walking around and taking a look along the way, the wealth of Xuzhou and the relaxed smiles on the faces of the people are obvious, and it is obvious that Liu Bei is very popular in Xuzhou. And the combat power of the Xuzhou Army, Jiangdong also understands it, and the correct guess is that Jiangdong is not an opponent! Is it useful for such a regime to talk to them about this momentum? Do people care?

Looking at the current situation, the other party obviously understood what Zhang Zhao meant, and deliberately wanted to give him a dismount, and see how Mr. Zibu would solve this matter!

Thinking about it, Sun Quan sighed again! Brother, why did you send Mr. Zibu?

It wasn't until the convoy was twenty steps away from the small pavilion that the convoy stopped, Sun Quan, Zhang Zhao and others got out of the car, and after tidying up their appearance, Sun Quan and Zhang Zhao walked side by side to the small pavilion.

When Liu Bei stopped his steps, Tian Fan, Xu Shu, and Jia Xu stood half a step behind, they were just three steps away from Zhang Zhao and the others, as if they had already rehearsed.

Zhang Zhao is a straight man, he sees what Liu Bei is doing, although it is a little contrived, but the people just stopped five steps in front of the pavilion to greet him, and he was not rude, so he was angry and had nowhere to go, so he had to put this matter down.

With a deep salute, Zhang Zhao said loudly: "Jiangdong courtier Zhang Zhao Zhang Zibu, I have seen the general!" ”

Sun Quan beside him also gave a deep salute and said: "Sun Quan Sun Zhongmou, I have seen the general!" ”

Wherever Tai Shi Ci went, he was a big man who stood up to the sky and the earth, and he couldn't boast or beat him, he clenched his fists violently and said loudly: "Tai Shi Ziyi, I've seen the general!" ”

Liu Bei returned the salute and said, "I've seen Mr. Zhang!" Hehe, Mr. Zhang, please get up! ”

Zhang Zhao and the three of them got up, and Liu Bei said with a smile: "I have heard Mr. Zhang's name for a long time, and I have heard people say that Jiangdong and Zhang both have talents through heaven and earth, and it is really a blessing to see Mr. Zibu today!" ”

Zhang Zhao bowed and said, "Don't dare, don't dare!" The name of the general, Zhao is also like thunder. This trip to Xuzhou, Zhao all the way to see and hear, is the scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, the general governs the people in a good way, which is really worthy of admiration. Last year's battle against the rebel Yuan Shu, the Xuzhou army only took four months, and the general managed the army in a good way, which is really beyond the ability of others, so I admire it very much! ”

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Hehe, Mr. has won the award!" ”

The two talked a few more words, Liu Bei looked at Sun Quan, Sun Quan had a gentle smile on his face, and hugged his fists and said: "Sun Quan, the word Zhongmou, I have seen the general!" The name of the general, the right to hear it for a long time, today when I see it, I know that the rumors are not allowed, and the general is really a dragon and phoenix! ”

Liu Bei laughed and said, "Zhongmou doesn't have to be polite!" Hehe, since Boguang and his trip to Jiangdong, he often puts your brother General Bo Fu, Zhou Gongjin, and you on his lips, saying that the three of you are rare heroes, hehe, Bo Fu created the foundation of Jiangdong, and he is extraordinary, Gongjin is known as Jiangdong Mei Zhou Lang, who governs the army well, and is naturally a great character, only you...... Hehe, Zhongmou, I won't tell you, I always thought that Boguang was lying, thinking that you are young, what can be extraordinary? But when I saw it today, I immediately decided that you were indeed extraordinary! ”

Sun Quan bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "General Hugh wants to listen to General Baihu's nonsense, Quan is young, if it weren't for the support of his brother above, what could I do?" It's General White Tiger, hehe, he's the one the kid really admires! ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Tian Fan.

Tian Fan ignored him, just smiled and glared at him, Sun Quan smiled, not only was not unhappy, but felt more cordial.

Liu Bei said a few more words to Sun Quan, and then turned to Tai Shici.

Looking him up and down a few times, Liu Bei smiled warmly and said, "Ziyi, long time no see!" When I see it today, I can't help but think of the years when I fought side by side with Ziyi. Hehe, Ziyi, how many years have it been? It must have been five or six years, right? The majesty has not diminished back then, congratulations! ”

Tai Shi Ci's eyes were a little red, to be honest, if he had known that Liu Bei had today, maybe he would not have defected to Liu Yao, and there would not be the current Tai Shi Ziyi. However, heroes are all all going all the way to the black, no matter how good Liu Bei is, he has no way back, Sun Ce is also a hero, he can afford him, he has to be worthy of him!

He hugged his fists and said: "General, Ziyi thank you for sending my mother to my side!" ”

Liu Bei nodded slightly and did not answer. He really admires Tai Shi Ci, but he can't talk much at this time, after all, he still has Zhang Zhao and Sun Quan by his side, in case he talks too much and causes Tai Shi Ci to be harassed in Jiangdong, it is not his original intention.

He introduced Xu Shu, Jia Xu and Tian Fan to the three of them, and after a few greetings, they returned to Xiapi together.

Tian Fan and Sun Quan fell at the end very tacitly, and Sun Quan saw that the people in front of him were far away, and said eagerly: "Brother Boguang, do me a favor!" ”

Tian Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the matter?" If it's official business, I don't care, this time you come, I'm just responsible for receiving you, and the specific alliance is in charge of Wenhe and Yuanzhi, don't look for me! ”

Sun Quan hurriedly shook his head and said, "Brother Boguang, what did you think of me?" That's ......" He looked around, saw that no one was paying attention to this place, and hurriedly whispered, "You asked people to lead my car to your house!" ”

Tian Fan looked at him in surprise and said, "What? Why? ”

Sun Quan said in fear: "You be quiet! That's right, Shang Xiang also came, right in my carriage......"

Tian Fan exclaimed, "What? ”

The voice was a little louder, Liu Bei and the others in front couldn't help but look back, Tian Fan smiled awkwardly, hugged his fists, and smirked a few times. Liu Bei rolled his eyes and beckoned Zhang Zhao and Tai Shici to get into his car.

Xu Shu and Jia Xu came in the same car, glanced at Tian Fan and Sun Quan, and the two also got into the car.

Tian Fan sighed, looked at Sun Quan, and said angrily: "What are you bringing her here for?" ”

Sun Quan rubbed his hands weakly and said, "Brother Boguang, you don't blame me for this matter, you blame my brother." Originally, he said okay, let me come to Xuzhou, and everyone will follow the rules and regulations discussed with you last year, just go through the motions, but a few days ago he didn't know who he was listening to, and suddenly changed his mind. But at that time, I had already promised Sister Shangxiang that I would take her to Xuzhou to play. You may not know my sister's temperament, eccentric, and bold since she was a child! When she came the other day, she told me that if she didn't take her, then she would sneak in by herself! ”

After a slight pause, Sun Quan shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Boguang, you don't know that I have suffered that sin these days!" Fortunately, those guards are all close to me, help me cover or something, otherwise my sister would have been discovered a long time ago! ”

Tian Fan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Wait, you mean, Shang Xiang ran out without permission?" Neither Aunt nor Brother Bofu know? ”

Sun Quan smiled awkwardly and said, "That's not it!" When I arrived in Guangling by boat, I sent someone back to tell my mother! They sent a letter yesterday, saying that I should take good care of my sister and clean up my ...... when I get back."

Tian Fan glared at him and said, "You deserve it!" ”

After a slight pause, he beckoned Tang Feng over, and whispered a few words, Tang Feng looked at the car, hugged his fists, and went to arrange not to mention it.
