Chapter 370: Selling Xuzhou

Zang Ba has always been resentful of Liu Bei, this is something that everyone knows, and people with a discerning eye have long seen that now Zang Ba suddenly stood up and wanted to drink with Liu Bei with the strength of wine, which can really be said to be ill-intentioned.

Zhang Fei beside Liu Bei couldn't hold it anymore, he just stood up, and immediately said, "I'll drink with you!" ”

After saying this, Zhang Fei raised his neck violently and drank the wine in the glass.

Unexpectedly, Zang Ba looked at Zhang Fei, but he sneered slightly, and said: "Who are you, I want to drink with Xuande Gong, but you come to add an extra kick, could it be that in this Xuzhou, you are the boss?!" ”

Zhang Fei is a person with a fiery temperament, and he has long had prejudices against Zang Ba, but now he reluctantly drank a drink with Zang Ba for the sake of his brother Liu Bei's face, but he didn't expect Zang Ba to give him face at all, how can Zhang Fei's hot temper be endured? Thinking of this, he slammed the table and scolded loudly: "Good thief, shameless, dare to fight with me for three hundred rounds?!" ”

At this moment, Guan Yu on Zhang Fei's side didn't seem to be able to stand it, and immediately snorted coldly and said: "The third brother is too much to lift him, with his skills, I'm afraid he can only walk under you for thirty rounds." ”

Zhang Fei was ready to be scolded by Liu Bei and others, but now that he saw that his second brother also came to support him, his morale was even greater, and he immediately glared at Zang Ba fiercely with a pair of ringed eyes.

Zang Ba was insulted by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei singing and harmonizing, and he was even more resentful in his heart, he immediately smashed his wine glass and cursed loudly: "Okay, you Liu Bei, General Lu Bu and I originally admired your benevolence and righteousness, so we came to Xuzhou to vote for you, are you so hospitable?" At the beginning, the Son of Heaven had already sent me to be the pastor of Xuzhou, and you still falsely claimed to be a clan member of the Han family and despised the Son of Heaven, what was your intention?! ”

is the so-called drunken spit out the truth, Zang Ba's words now, not only to the point, but also to Liu Bei's sore spot, Liu Bei was originally under the banner of the Han family, if even he himself did not listen to the emperor's orders, then wouldn't he, the Han family, slap himself in the face?

Originally, Liu Bei had already formed a good friendship with Zang Ba and Lu Bu, but he didn't expect that the two righteous brothers were temperamental, and they couldn't talk with Zang Ba at the same table, which stiffened the atmosphere and made Liu Bei accountable.

Liu Bei faced Zang Ba and Lu Bu, and finally couldn't continue to be silent, he slowly stood up, bowed down and apologized: "Brother She's a reckless person, and he is also short-sighted, please bear with me if I offend." ”

Zang Ba snorted coldly, but sat down by himself, seemingly dissatisfied with Liu Bei's apology.

Lu Bu was secretly worried in his heart, after all, this was Liu Bei's Xuzhou, and his own soldiers were stationed far outside Xuzhou City, if there was a stiffness, I am afraid that he would not be able to take advantage.

And Zang Ba is a scheming person, and now that he has drunk too much, he has begun to be impulsive, and as for whether Liu Bei will be extremely angry and kill the two of them, he doesn't even think about it.

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly continued: "What General Zang Ba said, I have already considered it, Xuzhou was originally led by Tao Gong, but I couldn't bear to see Cao Cao slaughter Xuzhou, so I brought troops here, I don't want to happen to meet Tao Gong is critically ill, alas......"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei sighed, presumably recalling Tao Qian, when everyone went to see it, they saw that Liu Bei's eyes were slightly red, it was to the emotional place, his expression was sincere, and there was no intention of faculty.

Zang Ba was originally Tao Qian's old subordinate, and Tao Qian was also kind to him, so Zang Ba was suddenly a little sentimental when Liu Bei said it, and at this time, the alcohol was surging, his eyes were red, and he was also dripping.

Liu Bei continued: "Tao Gong was critically ill, Cao Cao was still outside Xuzhou at that time, Xuzhou had just experienced a tragic change in life and death, and he really couldn't be left without an owner, and although General Zang Ba was an old subordinate of Tao Gong, he had always been talented, but unfortunately it was too far, and the so-called far water could not quench his thirst, and in desperation, Tao Gong wanted to let Bei take over Xuzhou. ”

Speaking of this, Guan Yu shook his head and said: "Big brother, Tao Gong clearly said that you are the lord of benevolence and righteousness, and the people of Xuzhou can only be too peaceful and stable if they follow you, and they have never mentioned Zang Ba's matter at all, why are you talking nonsense now?!" ”

Liu Bei looked back at Guan Yu, shook his head and said: "Although Tao Gong didn't say it, General Zang Ba is a close subordinate of Tao Gong, and he has more rights to inherit Xuzhou than me." ”

Mi Zhu also seemed to feel that what Liu Bei said was more and more outrageous, and immediately hurriedly persuaded: "Lord, your succession to Xuzhou is the result of our joint discussion. ”

Liu Bei bowed his head gloomily, sighed, and said: "You don't want to say it again, there is no room for negotiation in this matter, General Zang Ba was originally a confidant of Tao Gong, but he was not in Xuzhou at that time." Not to mention ......"

Speaking of this, Liu Bei suddenly looked at the West, and arched his hand and said: "What's more, the Son of Heaven has ordered General Zang Ba to lead Xuzhou Mu, although he has never seen the holy face, but after he is the king of Zhongshan Jing, he is also the blood of the royal family, and now the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty is still there, do you have to ask me to disobey the order and rebel?!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was even more surprised!

Mi Zhu, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others were shocked that Liu Bei actually wanted to return Xuzhou to Zang Ba, Xuzhou was the foundation that Liu Bei had worked so hard to earn, and wanted Liu Bei to work hard, now he is over the age and is no longer confused, and he is no longer a young man, and he finally got the foundation, but he just gave it to people in vain? In this way, even if Liu Bei can withstand it, how can he be worthy of the brothers who followed him from birth to death?

As for Zang Ba, Lu Bu, Gao Shun and others, it is even more incomprehensible, although they have the intention to take Xuzhou, but at least they are conspiracies to take Xuzhou from Liu Bei, instead of letting Liu Bei give it up like this. Although they thought that they had a reason to inherit Xuzhou, they really never thought that Liu Bei would have the heart to return Xuzhou to them.

Liu Bei, Liu Bei, what kind of person are you?

If it is said that it is benevolent, righteous and faithful, but along the way, Liu Bei has never been truly loyal to anyone, Liu Bei has abandoned Gongsun Zhan, betrayed Tian Kai, and stayed under Kong Rong for a period of time, no matter who it is, Liu Bei's last choice is to leave, it can be said that he does not want to live under others for a long time.

And if Liu Bei is a treacherous and hypocritical hero, then now Liu Bei is really willing to give up Xuzhou, is it another conspiracy?

Everyone was surprised, Liu Bei slowly stood up, he arched his hand to Zang Ba and said: "General Zang Ba, please give five days to prepare, five days later, I will lead the army to leave Xuzhou, then the general will be the lord of Xuzhou, and the emperor's order will be restored." ”

Zang Ba was a little stupid for a while, and he didn't know how to answer.

Liu Bei continued: "But I still have a reluctant request, I hope that the general can give me Xiao Pei, so that I and my brothers can have a place to stay." ”
