Xuzhou, Donghai County, Tan County.

In the past, Tao Qian was in charge of Xuzhou when Xuzhou was located, and later Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei, in order to eliminate Tao Qian's imprint, Liu Bei moved the governance office to Xiapi, and later Liu Bei went out to conquer Yuan Shu, Zhang Fei was drunk and Lu Bu took Xuzhou, and Lu Bu moved the governance office to Tan County.

Cao Cao came to attack, Lu Bu listened to Chen Jue's words, transferred his wife and children to Xiapi, went out of the city to meet Cao Cao, the army was defeated, and when he wanted to return to the city, he was ordered by Chen Qi to stop the soldiers outside the city and not to enter the city, Lu Bu had to turn to Xiapi, and then Cao Cao's soldiers surrounded Xiapi, Chen Jue asked Chen Deng to return to Guangling, and he began to restore the livelihood of Tan County.

Tan County is one hundred and thirty miles away from Xiapi, when Lu Bu and others arrived, it was already noon, and they looked at it from a distance, but they saw that the gate of Tan County was wide open, and there were contacts, and it seemed that it had recovered a little bit of the old weather.

"Lord, if you do it now, it is easy to disturb the people." Zhang Liao put his hand on the pergola, looked at it, and looked at Lu Bu with some concern.

"Wen Yuan, if you come to lead the troops, how can three hundred cavalry capture this Tancheng?" Lu Bu turned over and fell off the red rabbit horse, looked at Zhang Liao and smiled.

"Three hundred cavalry naturally can't attack the city." Zhang Liao arched his hand and said: "The last general thinks that he can use the death of Xu Chu as an excuse, pretend to be Cao Jun to come to ask for the crime, and open the city gate fraudulently, most of the soldiers in this Tancheng are the old department of the lord, as long as they can capture and kill that Chen Jue first, the soldiers in the city will be able to surrender, but it is just ......"

Lu Bu nodded frequently when he heard this, and when he saw Zhang Liao pause, Lu Bu looked at Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao smiled bitterly: "The lord and I, many people in the city know each other, I'm afraid it will be difficult to take this position." ”

Lu Bu let go of the reins of the red rabbit horse, sat on a bluestone in the forest, looked at the direction of Tancheng and said: "I remember that Cao Cao has added a new general, named Xu Huang, who is from Hedong, and has a similar accent to us, so you can pick one person to follow Xu Huang and go to the city." ”

The three hundred elite horsemen under Lu Bu were all killed all the way to the Central Plains with Lu Bu when he was merging with the state, and the young men who were teenagers back then are now twenty-five years old, and their age is similar to that Xu Huang.

Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, their eyes invariably looked at the three hundred soldiers behind them, before Lu Bu went to Cao Ying to call the formation, he had seen Xu Huang a few times, and now he looked at them one by one, and suddenly fell on a cavalryman and pointed at him: "You, come here." ”

"Whoa!" Hearing this, the soldier strode forward and bowed to Lu Bu.

"You are from Taiyuan, you were originally from Wenyuan's old department, and then you came to my account, and you have followed me since Luoyang, but your martial arts are also good, what is your name? What is your current job? Lu Bu asked with a smile, this person's appearance is naturally different from Xu Huang's, but his body shape is seven points similar.

The knight was a little excited when he heard this, straightened his chest and said loudly: "Humble position Hao Zhao, the current position of team leader." ”

"Hao Zhao?" Lu Bu nodded, remembered the name and said, "You will lead a hundred horsemen to the city tonight, do you have the courage to go?" ”

"I'm not a son, what I don't lack is guts!" Hao Zhao straightened his chest and said loudly.

"Very good, if it can be done, I will make you a captain, if not, I will accompany you to die in this Tancheng!" Lu Bu put Fang Tian's halberd on the ground and said with a smile: "Now everyone should rest first, after the gate of Tanxian County is closed in the evening, Hao Zhao will lead a hundred horsemen to the city, Wen Yuan and I will each lead a hundred horses, after you enter the city, the two of us will lead the army to arrive, if you can capture and kill that Chen Jue, it is naturally the best, if not, you and guard the city gate, see me break the enemy." ”

As for why not do it now, as Zhang Liao said, now there are most people in the city, Lu Bu began to wake up after being reborn, and felt that if he wanted to succeed, first of all, his reputation had to be slowly reversed, at least not to be rejected by the people under his rule, if too many people were involved, it would not be a good thing for Lu Bu, and once the chaos in the city became chaotic, it would be easy for Chen Qi to escape, and the purpose of Lu Bu's visit to Tancheng this time was mainly Chen Qi.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei can't be killed for the time being, but these two people, whether in public or private, Lu Bu is not ready to stay.

"Whoa!" Hao Zhao puffed up his chest and said solemnly.

"You go pick your men and do it in the evening." Lu Bu waved his hand, signaling everyone to dismount and rest, there was still some time before the evening, just take this opportunity to replenish his strength and drink some water.

"My lord." Zhang Liao handed a piece of dough to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu took the dough cake, took a bite, took the water bladder from the horse, and after pouring it hard, he sighed, turned his head to look at Zhang Liao and said, "Wen Yuan, what should we do after you say that after destroying the Chen family?" ”

Zhang Liao leaned on the trunk of the tree, ate the bread, and thought: "Recruit talents, now that Xuzhou is in turmoil one after another, the people are determined, and it is not appropriate to have disputes again, and although he has won the official position of the five counties, there are not many people who can be used under the command of the lord, especially the talent of governance, this Xuzhou five counties and sixty-two counties, the lord can't ask me to wait for these martial artists to take charge of government affairs, right?" Besides......"

Zhang Liao swallowed the bread in his mouth, looked at Lu Budao, and said: "At present, Xuzhou also needs to be governed. ”

"Where can I find it?" Lu Bu sighed when he heard this: "Those people from the family, Wen Yuan also saw it, I didn't hesitate to lose face in order to ask for the support of those scholars, but what about them? ”

"Why should the lord be entangled in the family?" Zhang Liao sat down and looked at Lu Budao: "Among the cold families, there are also many talents, Mr. Qin is not a scholar, but his ability, in my opinion, is not under Mr. Gongtai, since the scholar clan does not integrate with the lord, the lord can seek talents from the poor family." ”

"Where can I find it?" Lu Bu said blankly, it's not that he doesn't look down on poor talents, it's just that in the years after his death, he has been by Liu Bei's side, although it is to kill Liu Bei, but Liu Bei's rise also affects Lu Bu, that Liu Bei has spent half his life and gained nothing, but he has won the recognition of scholars, after the rise of Jingzhou, to the establishment of a vassal country, Liu Bei's command is almost all scholars, and there are not no poor talents, but they are pitiful.

Although Lu Bu hated the disdain of the scholars for him, he also knew that he could not do without the support of the scholars if he wanted to compete for the world.

"Why don't you ask Mr. Qin?" Zhang Liao said with a smile: "Mr. Qin is a protégé of Kang Chenggong, and there must be many classmates, if he can invite a few, he can also solve the current needs of the lord." ”

Lu Bu thought for a while, nodded, and suddenly asked: "I suddenly thought of a method, after defeating that Chen Jue, you can post lists in various places in Xuzhou and recruit people from poor families to come, what do you say?" ”

Zhang Liao was stunned when he heard this: "It's also a method, some of the meaning of the golden platform of King Yan Zhao in the past, maybe you can try it." ”

Although Lu Bu has also read books, but he has not read much, he has heard the story of the golden platform worship, but he has long forgotten it, as for the sudden thought of this method, it is to remember that Cao Cao had issued a talent order to the world during the time when he was a ghost, when Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang had discussed this matter, and at this moment he was worried about the lack of talent, so he remembered this matter.

Time passed quietly in the small talk between the two, the sky gradually darkened, the gate of Tanxian County in the distance was closed, and the people around began to return to the township, Lu Bu looked at the sky and nodded to Hao Zhao, it was time to do it.
