Chapter 22: Xue Zhou (I)

The night is already deep.

Peixian County Yali is still brightly lit.

Around the county office, the guard is tight, and from time to time you can see armor soldiers wearing sleeve armor holding spears and knives, patrolling around the county office.

At the end of the long street, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and a team of iron horsemen galloped from far and near.

The cavalry stopped in front of the county office, and the first member of the big man, jumped off the horse and was eight feet tall, with a heroic appearance and a strong physique, and strode up the steps.

"Wenyuan, you're here!"

A person was greeted from the gate of the county government, not tall, about 175 centimeters, stocky and burly, with a simple face.

He was dressed modestly, and his robe had been washed and colored, and he looked quite old.

However, this person exuded a solid aura, and arched his hand with the big man who walked up, "Wen Hou and Mr. Chen Gong have been waiting for a long time. ”

Dahan glanced around and nodded.

"Xiao Gong, please lead the way."

The two walked into the gate of the county government one after the other, and when the big man saw that the county government was also heavily guarded, he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, and hurriedly said softly: "Xiaogong, what happened?" Wen Hou recruited me from Hulu in such a hurry, did Liu Bei deliberately want to disadvantage Wen Hou? ”

"This ...... Wen Yuan will know when he arrives. ”

The man was obviously not a man of words, and did not answer the words of the big man directly.

However, Dahan didn't care when he arrived.

I have known the man for many years, and he knows the man's character well. This is an honest man, a man of great generosity.

But if you look down on him because of his generosity and simplicity, you will definitely suffer a big loss.

This man is not one of the Eight Warriors, but when it comes to talent, he is even better than most of the Eight Warriors. Martial arts are not too clever, that is, at the upper middle level. But if it comes to managing troops and commanding, even the big Han is a little unlikely, whether he can beat the opponent's means.

Eight hundred traps, the first in every battle!

The man's name is Gao Shun, the word is filial piety, and he is nicknamed 'Gao Laohu', even if he is Zhang Liao and Zhang Wenyuan, he must be afraid of three points.

Today, Wenhou Lu Bu asked Gao Shun to be in charge of the county government guard, which is enough to explain the problem.

There must be something wrong, otherwise Lu Bu would not have been able to mobilize the army so much, and even the camp would have to run out to take charge of the security work of the county government.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liao couldn't help but have some worries.

On the yatang, Lu Bu sat in the center.

Lu Bu, who was nearly forty years old at the time, although he no longer had the high-flying and domineering attitude when he invited the heroes to fight in front of the Tiger Prison Pass, he added a bit of stability. He wore a scarf on his head, a large robe, and a lion jade belt around his waist. Standing up, nearly two meters tall, will give people an inexplicable sense of oppression. Sitting on the yatang, although he was silent, the majesty exuded from his body made people feel frightened.

Under LΓΌ Bu, he was a scribe.

At the age of forty years, he was born with a handsome appearance and a black beard under his chin, which added to the elegant color.

"Lord, Zhang Liao is late, and I ask the lord to forgive me."

Zhang Liao strode into the yatang, first greeted Lu Bu, and then said to the scribe: "Mr. Gongtai, you summoned me in such a hurry, I don't know what happened?" ”

The scribe is the chief mastermind under Lu Bu's account, Chen Gong.

Chen Gong is an extremely proud person, who does not smile on weekdays, giving people an extremely strict feeling.

However, seeing Zhang Liao, Chen Gong's face still showed a little smile, and he stood up and bowed slightly, "Wenyuan, it's been a hard journey!" ”

"Wen Yuan, I came here in a hurry because I wanted to discuss something with you."

Lu Bu spoke, and Chen Gong immediately sat down and stopped talking.

Zhang Liao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Please ask Wen Hou to command!" ”

"You don't have to be so restrained, come here, take a seat for Wenyuan."

Outside the yatang, a small school brought a pomp mat and invited Zhang Liao to take a seat. Then a table was brought over and a drink was served.

"Wenyuan guards the lake and land, can you know the movements of the Cao thief?"

Hulu, in the northern part of Pei County, is also the gateway to Xuzhou.

At the beginning, Liu Bei invited Lu Bu and settled him in Pei County, so he saved Lu Bu to guard the north for him

Face portal ideas. Zhang Liao, as the No. 1 general under Lu Bu's account, naturally took on the task of guarding the lake and land and resisting Cao's soldiers to the south, and his responsibility was not small.

Zhang Liao hurriedly said: "At the beginning of the month, Cao Cao gathered troops and horses and marched into Yingchuan.

Since then, there has been no major movement, and I heard that troops and horses are still being mobilized to prepare for a decisive battle with the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan. Therefore, the lake and land are normal......"

"That's good."

After Lu Bu finished speaking, his eyes looked at Chen Gong.

Chen Gong coughed, "Wen Yuan thinks, what is Liu Bei?" ”

"Liu Bei?"

Zhang Liao was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said: "This person is generous and benevolent on the outside, but he is actually treacherous on the inside...... Although he accepted Wen Hou and gave him grain and grass, in fact, it was just to use Wen Hou. And its part, arrogant and arrogant. Previously, Zhang Fei snatched the five hundred war horses that Wen Hou bought, if it was not for Liu Bei's private nod, I would never believe it. So I think that Liu Bei must not be taken lightly. ”

Lu Bu and Chen Gong glanced at each other and nodded again and again.

After a while, Chen Gong said, "Then Wen Yuan can know the Yushan thief?" ”

"Feather Mountain Bandit?"

Zhang Liao was stunned again, and immediately showed a bitter smile, shook his head and said: "The end of the Shu Dynasty is lonely and unheard of in Xuzhou, where is the origin of this bandit?" ”

"The Yushan thieves are a group of bandits entrenched in Donghai County."

Chen Gong told Zhang Liao about the origin of the Yushan thief, and saw the corners of Zhang Liao's mouth twitch, and a disdainful expression appeared on his face.

"Yushan thief, it's really not a cause for concern.

But now, they are offering us a chance.

Yushan Zhang Min and Que Ba had offended Elk Zhu before, and Elk Zhu was quite used under Liu Bei's account. The Yushan thieves were worried that Liu Bei would attack them, so they sent someone to contact us, willing to join Wen Hou, and seize Qu County as a gift for the audience, what did Wen Yuan think? ”

Lu Bu's eyes immediately widened, full of hope.

Liu Bei took him in at his most difficult time, and Lu Bu was very grateful in his heart.

But the taste under the fence is not pleasant, Liu Bei is generous on the surface, but in fact he is estranged; Zhang Fei repeatedly provoked five times, which made Lu Bu even more dissatisfied. How can a great husband be subservient to men? What's more, Lu Bu is not an idle person. When he ruled the world, Liu Bei was just a small footstep, and he hadn't even heard of it. Who would have thought that now that feng shui is taking turns, he Lu Bu will also ask Liu Bei to take him in.

This kind of gap made Lu Bu very uncomfortable.

Not to mention that Lu Bu held a banquet at home before, and according to the rules of Jiuyuan, he asked his wife to come out to toast Liu Bei, which provoked Liu Bei's ridicule. also because of this incident, Lu Bu was dissatisfied with Liu Bei...... Later, Lu Bu bought 500 war horses and were robbed by Zhang Fei. When he came to ask for the crime, he was understated by Liu Bei, and even scolded Zhang Fei without pain.

Five hundred war horses, only less than half of them were returned to Lu Bu!

This made Lu Bu have a strong hatred for Liu Bei......

Therefore, when Que Ba and Zhang Min found Lu Bu, Lu Bu was very happy.

Que Ba said that as long as Lu Buken took them in, the three thousand bandits would all be under Lu Bu's command. At that time, Que Ba will act in Donghai County, and after occupying Qu County, Liu Bei will definitely send troops to rescue. When the time comes, Lu Buke can take the opportunity to send troops to seize Xiapi, and Liu Bei will inevitably be in chaos.

This almost really made Lu Bu's heart move.

But Chen Gong didn't quite agree, and in desperation, Lu Bu summoned Zhang Liao and asked for his opinion.

I think that at the beginning, when he was serving under Dong Zhuo's account, Zhang Liao's status was not as low as Lu Bu, and his title did not need to be Lu Bu, but his official position was higher than that of Lu Bu.

The dignified northern land is too guarded, which can be called a prince.

In contrast, although Lu Bu is known for his bravery, his qualifications are really not as good as Zhang Liao, so he also attaches great importance to Zhang Liao's opinions.

Zhang Liao, silent!

After a while, he said softly: "If Marquis Wen wants to take Donghai County, Zhang Liao is willing to be the vanguard and dedicate all the thirty-seven counties of Donghai to Wenhou...... But if Wenhou cooperates with the Yushan thieves, he is afraid that it will be difficult to gain a foothold in Xuzhou in the future. I heard that Zhang Min, the leader of the Yushan bandits, was the culprit who caused Cao Cao's troops to send to Xuzhou and wash Pengcheng in the first place. If Wenhou accepts Zhang Min, he will inevitably become the enemy of the people of Xuzhou. ”
