In the blink of an eye, everyone had arrived in Xuzhou, and Lu Bu and Zang Ba stationed their troops outside Xuzhou, and then followed Liu Bei into the city.

Although Zang Ba is still a little worried in his heart, now his military forces are stationed outside the city, but Lu Bu seems to have a lot of trust in Liu Bei, as said before, Lu Bu and Liu Bei are both people on the border of the country, so there are always some similarities in their personalities.

Lü Bu was born in Jiuyuan County, adjacent to the Xiongnu, and was outside the northern Saiwai; The plain where Liu Bei is located is the northwest border, and it is also above the border, so the two are meeting now, just like an old friend reuniting.

Xuzhou City because of Cao Cao's massacre, is still a deserted scene, Cao Cao is right, his slaughter of the city may lead to the entire Xuzhou within four or five years without the possibility of recovery, of course, even more serious.

Walking on the empty streets, Zang Ba couldn't help but sigh long, when he was still following Tao Qian, Xuzhou City was a prosperous and wealthy place, and it was not as bleak as it is today.

Liu Bei seemed to feel the atmosphere of everyone, and immediately smiled bitterly: "Cao thief is cruel and easy to kill, harming many people in Xuzhou, poor Tao Gong has worked hard to run Xuzhou for half a lifetime, but now it has become such a deserted place." ”

Lu Bu smiled slightly, as if he was not too interested in Liu Bei's emotion, and said: "This is the case in the war era, and naturally killing and conquest are indispensable. ”

On the side, Jian Yong pursed his lips, and didn't seem to like Lu Bu's statement.

Zhang Fei was angry all the way, and ignored Lu Bu and Liu Bei, it seems that the third brother among the three heroes in Taoyuan is really a lover.

Everyone was walking, only to see the people on the street in front of them thriving, the carriages and horses were prosperous, obviously there was a team to greet him, Lu Bu raised his eyes, and saw that there was a tiger general in front of the team standing tall, the face was like a heavy jujube, the lips were like painted Zhu, a pair of Danfeng eyes were mighty and extraordinary, unforgettable, and there were two feet of long hair flying in the wind, how magnificent a green robe was!

It was Guan Yunchang who was locked in the tiger prison!

When Lu Bu saw each other, he shouted in a low voice: "Could it be Guan Yu in front?" ”

Liu Bei hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's the younger brother." ”

Just as he was saying that the two groups of people had come together, Guan Yu took two steps forward, but he didn't look at Lu Bu very seriously, but first saluted Liu Bei and said, "Brother." ”

When Zhang Fei saw Guan Yu, he even found a backer, he took a step forward and immediately said: "Second brother, the eldest brother didn't listen to my persuasion, but still let Lu Bu do this...... Lu Bu entered Xuzhou, alas! ”

Although Guan Yu was not satisfied with Lu Bu on his face, he was not as obvious as Zhang Fei's performance, he smiled bitterly and said in a low voice: "You don't want to be public, listen to my brother in this matter." ”

After saying that, a polite and polite Wenchen suddenly flashed behind Guan Yu, and he bowed to Lu Bu and said, "Mi Zhu, a staff member under the seat of Duke Liu in Xuzhou, has seen General Lu Bu. ”

Lu Bu's heart moved, it turned out that this person was Mi Zhu, a famous family in Xuzhou, it is said that in order to win over Liu Bei, he even married his own sister to Liu Bei as his wife, such a means is really a bit extreme, could it be that Liu Bei can really bring peace to Xuzhou?

Lu Bu hurriedly returned the salute.

Unexpectedly, before Lu Bu could speak, he heard a cold snort from the side, and Zang Ba said: "I didn't expect that Mr. Mi Zhu had completely forgotten me in just a few years!" ”

Mi Zhu saw Zang Ba standing on the side, thinking that the two of them were working under Tao Qian at the beginning, and it can be said that the relationship was very good, but later Zang Ba set up his own door and led the troops to Kaiyang, so he was not so familiar with Mi Zhu. Now that Tao Qian has died, Zang Ba thought that everyone would nominate himself to be the pastor of Xuzhou in his previous relationship, but he didn't expect Mi Zhu to join Liu Bei's subordinates, which was really a big disappointment for Zang Ba, so now that they meet, it can be said that they meet enemies.

Mi Zhu knew in his heart that Zang Ba had always coveted Xuzhou, but after all, Liu Bei had already led the army to move in, not only for the people of Xuzhou, but also for his own comfort, Mi Zhu had to recommend Liu Bei, not to mention that Liu Bei was benevolent and righteous, and he was by no means as gloomy as Zang Ba, so under many considerations, Liu Bei was the best candidate in Xuzhou.

Now that they meet again, Mi Zhu felt a little guilty in his heart, and he hurriedly smiled and said, "What is Xuan Gao?" I heard that now that you have followed General Lu Bu, although Zhu is not talented, he does not dare to take the lead! ”

Mi Zhu said this very well, but it showed a very strong eloquence, he pointed out that now Zang Ba is already Lu Bu's subordinate, so what Zang Ba does must be agreed by Lu Bu, and the relationship between Lu Bu and Liu Bei seems to be good, presumably the matter of fighting for Xuzhou, Lu Bu will not be too active, so that he can restrain Zang Ba's heart to fight for Xuzhou; Second, although Zang Ba received an order from the Son of Heaven to succeed him as the pastor of Xuzhou, but now he is Lu Bu's subordinate, so I am afraid that there is no need to continue to implement this imperial order.

Mi Zhu's words suppressed Zang Ba to death, although Zang Ba understood in his heart, but he couldn't turn his face with Mi Zhu in person, his heart was beating wildly with anger, but there was nothing he could do.

Liu Bei also realized that the atmosphere was not quite right at this time, and he immediately came forward and said: "Alas, let's come all the way, we are tired, you might as well go to dinner first, big and small matters, let's discuss them during the banquet, how about it?" ”

Liu Bei is now the lord of Xuzhou, who can not listen to Liu Bei's words? When Mi Zhu heard this, he immediately took a step back and bowed his head silently. Although Zang Ba was still angry, he couldn't help but give Liu Bei face, and snorted, which was a response.

The crowd finally made peace and headed for the state capital.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is getting westerly, the car is sluggish, and it is time to rest.

At this time, in the lobby of the Xuzhou Prefecture, it was a magnificent and lively scene.

The bright lights hung high, illuminating this hall like daylight, Liu Bei and his subordinates accompanied Lu Bu, Zang Ba, Gao Shun, Hou Cheng and others to sit in the banquet, looking happy.

At this time, the banquet was still shared, that is, everyone had their subordinates divide their food before they were seated, and then they returned to their seats without having to move around.

At this time, the table was not round, as in later generations, but rectangular, with the host sitting at the top, and the guests and subordinates sitting on either side, each of whom was very particular about their position.

After three rounds of drinking, Zang Ba was slightly smoky, he held a wine glass, staggered up, looked at Liu Bei from afar across the banquet, and suddenly said loudly: "Xuande Gong, come, I toast you!" ”
