Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at their sullen eldest brother, and they put away their smiles.

Zhang Fei is not good at words and can't comfort people at all, so he can only stare at his ring eyes and look at his second brother.

Seeing this, Guan Yu shook his head helplessly, stroked his beard, and said: "Big brother, you don't have to be sad, you are the minister of Langya this time, there are more people there, waiting for us." ”

"Here in Pingyuan County, people's lives are slowly getting better, when the time comes, we can leave a few eyeliners, if the new county order is not doing well, then a certain will directly kill him from Langya and cut him with a knife!"

After Liu Bei heard this, his face became a little better.

……

A few days later, the new prefectural commander arrived.

He had long known Liu Bei's prestige in Pingyuan County, so after he saw Liu Bei, he was also polite and respectful.

After handing over these things, Liu Bei was ready to leave for Langya.

Before leaving, Liu Bei also instructed the new county order: "There is no great talent, the governance of this plain county is average, please Brother Ren after taking office, I will bother a lot." ”

When the county magistrate heard this, he hurriedly said: "What did Uncle Huang say, this plain county is thriving under your governance, and it will definitely keep this prosperity for you." ”

"In this way, Bei will thank Brother Ren for the people of the plains." Liu Bei returned the salute, then turned around and prepared to leave.

And Zhang Fei stood next to the new county order, and threatened in a low voice: "You kid, if you let me know that you are powerful and prosperous in this plain county, fish and meat township, then I will come back from Langya and pick you with a spear." ”

"General Zhang's words are serious, and the little ones naturally don't dare to do what those corrupt officials do." The new county commander was very afraid of Zhang Fei's eyes, and hurriedly nodded yes.

The people of Pingyuan County knew that Liu Bei was leaving, and they all spontaneously sent each other off.

Some people were even reluctant to Liu Bei and secretly wiped their tears there.

……

On the other side, in the middle of the city.

Lu Bu took Cao Ang's letter and the newly arrived edict of appointment, and was full of ambition.

"Cao Zixuan really still remembered the old feelings, knowing that I was stationed in this Xiapi City, and directly asked His Majesty to come to the post of Minister of State, so that I was stationed in Xiapi City here, which is even more justified."

And Tao Qian, who is the actual controller of Xuzhou, also thanked Cao Ang in his heart after learning about these two appointments.

After all, as soon as Lu Bu came, he made Xuzhou into a miasma, and what he was holding was the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand, which was invincible in Xuzhou.

Now that Liu Bei is here with the two chiefs, then he has the means to balance Lu Bu.

Besides, Tao Qian knew that Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous, and he definitely wouldn't just let Lu Bu do it.

In the following days, Tao Qian spent every day waiting for news.

And what he was waiting for was naturally the news that Liu Bei came to Xuzhou.

……

Finally, the three brothers Liu Guanzhang came to the boundary of Xuzhou after some travel.

As soon as the three of them stepped into the boundary of Xuzhou, someone immediately won.

"Dare to ask your Excellency, but the two generals, Uncle Liu and Guan Zhang?"

Liu Bei looked at the little guy in front of him and nodded: "It's just me and the other three." ”

"Great, my master has kept me here for a long time." The little guy replied with a smile.

"Who is your master?" Liu Bei asked tentatively.

"Xuzhou Mu, Tao Qian." After the little servant answered, he continued: "My master asked me to wait for the three of you here, please go this way." ”

The little guy took Liu Bei to the best inn in this small city to repair it, and then took Liu Guanzhang and the three of them to Xuzhou City.

Tao Qian learned that Liu Guanzhang and the others had arrived, so he greeted each other at the city gate early.

And Liu Bei saw Tao Qian waiting there from a distance, so he dismounted early and walked quickly towards Tao Qian.

Seeing this, Tao Qian immediately stepped forward to greet him: "I've seen Uncle Liuhuang!" ”

Liu Bei saw Tao Qian so polite, and immediately returned the salute: "I've seen Xuzhou Mu!" ”

"Qian had long heard that Uncle Huang was coming, so he prepared a thin wine in the city to show his welcome." Tao Qian said as he asked Liu Bei to go to the city.

"How can you prepare for it!" Liu Bei responded euphemistically, and then followed Tao Qian to Xuzhou City.

……

When he came to the banquet, Tao Qian took two sips of wine and began to sigh.

Zhang Fei was anxious, and when he heard Tao Qian sighing, he spoke directly: "Hey! What's the matter with you, today my eldest brother came to your Xuzhou City, but you sighed here, what is the reason? ”

When Tao Qian heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was originally thinking about how he should tell Liu Bei about Lu Bu.

As soon as Zhang Fei opened his mouth now, then he had a reason to continue.

"General Zhang doesn't know, that Lu Bu came to my Xuzhou more than a month ago, he deceived me Xuzhou as an unavailable general, and coveted my money and grain in Xuzhou, and asked me all day long for grain and grass, if I don't give it, then he will mess up my Xuzhou!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he glared: "Lu Bu is also in Xuzhou?" ”

After saying this, he looked at his eldest brother and second brother.

The three of them had been in Pingyuan County before, following Cao Ang's strategy of tuntian to help the people open up wasteland and farm, plus this ancient news was blocked, so they didn't know the situation in Xuzhou.

Now, after learning that Lu Bu is also in Xuzhou, the faces of the three of them are not very good.

Especially Zhang Fei's fiery temper: "Hmph, this three-surnamed slave, when he was in the Tiger Prison, my snake spear failed to pick him, this time, I will definitely stab him through the heart!" ”

"Third brother, don't be reckless!" Regarding brushing his beard and telling Zhang Fei to shut up: "Let's see what the eldest brother says to the state pastor." ”

Zhang Fei closed his mouth when he heard the words and looked at Liu Bei.

And Liu Bei arched his hand at Tao Qian: "Zhou Mu rest assured, Bei has long heard that Xuzhou Tao Qian and Tao Gongzu have a good way of governing Xuzhou, but now they are being harassed by Lu Bu, and Bei will definitely not stand idly by!" ”

"If Lu Bu provokes again, then prepare these two virtuous brothers, and they should be the state pastor to relieve the siege!"

Tao Qian was also overjoyed when he heard this: "Okay, good!" Xuande, you don't have to be so different with me, the foolish brother is a few years older than you, so he was arrogant and called you a virtuous brother. ”

"What is my brother talking about, and being able to call my brother a brother is a good climb!" Liu Bei said politely.

Tao Qian was very useful when he said this: "Good! Come to the virtuous brother, two generals, please drink this cup full! ”

……

Luoyang, Cao's family.

Cao Ang counted the days: "In the past few days, Liu Guanzhang and the three of them should be in Xuzhou, and counting the days, Tao Qian has not long to live, waiting for Tao Qian ......to die."
