Zhang Fei's words provided Liu Bei with a new line of thought.

Why do you have to take Peixian by storming?

He could have done something different!

As long as Lu Bu can be persuaded to return Pei County, then the current predicament will naturally be solved, and there will be no need to spend a single soldier!

"Will this work?"

Zhang Fei was dumbfounded after hearing this, he didn't expect that he would say casually that the eldest brother really planned to do this!

And Liu Bei had already made up his mind, and said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, I'll repair a book when I go back, you pick a few trustworthy soldiers, and send them to Xiapi and hand them over to Lu Bu." ”

"Whether we can live or not is up to us!"

Liu Bei decided to gamble on his own eyes, he believed that with Lu Bu's character, after learning about the situation of the Son of Heaven and his current situation, he would be willing to help!

Fortunately, Xiapi is not too far away from Pei County, and if the soldiers travel day and night, it is enough to go back and forth in five days.

"Good!"

Guan Yu didn't say much, and nodded heavily.

Although he looked down on Lu Bu, and he didn't think that kind of capricious villain would be willing to return Peixian, but since it was ordered by the eldest brother, then he did it.

……

Xuzhou is a thoroughfare of land and water, prosperous people, prosperous commerce and trade, and has been a battleground for soldiers of all dynasties since ancient times, but at the same time, it is also coveted by the princes of all parties.

Whether it is Cao Cao, Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao, they are all quite greedy for this place.

However, since Lü Bu defeated Liu Bei and took Xiapi away, he used this place as a base camp to garrison troops, and then controlled the entire Xuzhou.

In Xiapi City, the county guards the mansion.

Lu Bu held a banquet in the mansion today and invited many generals under his command to come over, and the mansion was lively at this time.

"Today is the birthday of General Ben, so you need to drink to your heart's content! If there is any leftover, General Ben will not let you go! ”

"Hahahaha!"

During the banquet, a handsome man laughed at the generals.

This man is eight feet long, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a strange appearance, and a heroic spirit.

It is the current lord of Xuzhou - General Fenwei, Wenhou Lu Bu!

Lu Bu said as he held the wine jar and drank booze, and soon drank a jar of fine wine, and then wiped his mouth and smiled: "Happy!" ”

"Good! The general has a good amount of alcohol! ”

"Generals massive!"

"The last general salutes the general!"

"Come again! Again! ”

The generals applauded and complimented one after another.

Lu Bu drank up, raised a jar of wine, tore open the mud seal and was about to continue drinking, but at this time, a slender jade hand reached out from the side and stopped him.

"General, you've drunk enough today."

"Have you forgotten that you still have military affairs to attend to at night?"

The one who spoke was a woman in palace clothes, but she was in her twenties, her appearance was beautiful, her body was gentle, her body was gentle, delicate, and she was very bright and moving.

At this time, she was looking at Lu Bu with anger in her eyes.

This woman is the Diao Chan who followed Lu Bu to Xiapi.

Lu Bu smiled when he heard this: "It's not in the way!" This little wine is just enough to quench his thirst, how can he make General Ben drunk? ”

He's drinking now, where can he stop.

And Diao Chan couldn't persuade him, so he had to sigh and say: "Then the general drink it slowly, and the concubine will prepare some sobering soup for the general." ”

Then he got up and bowed to the people, and left the feast.

After Diao Chan left, a general praised during the banquet: "Diao Chan is really a unique beauty in the world, and she is so gentle and considerate, the general is really a blessing!" ”

Another general also smiled: "Such a beauty, no wonder the general was willing to rush to the crown and be angry." ”

Hearing the praise of the generals, Lu Bu could not hide the smug look on his face.

His life is only about good wine and beautiful people.

Now he sits in Xuzhou, with countless elite soldiers and fierce generals under his command, continuous wine and delicacies, and the peerless beauty Diao Chan is by his side, which is exactly the life he dreams of.

"Come, come, come! Eat and drink! If you don't get drunk today, you won't return! ”

Lu Bu waved his hand, ready to have a good drink with the generals.

But at this time, an attendant hurriedly walked into the house and reported to Lu Buyu: "General, Mr. Chen is asking to see you outside the mansion. ”

"Huh? Public station? ”

Lu Bu's eyes were drunk and hazy, and after hearing the attendant's words, he cheered up a little and ordered: "Go and invite Mr. over!" ”

The attendant retreated, and soon brought a purple-robed scribe with him.

Seeing this, Lu Bu got up and invited: "The public platform came just in time, today is General Ben's birthday, come and have a drink with General Ben!" ”

As he spoke, he wanted to pull Chen Gong to sit at the same table with him.

But Chen Gong was unmoved, he glanced around at the surrounding generals, frowned, and said, "General, my subordinates have something important to report." ”

"Harm! What's the matter, I'll ...... tomorrow."

"General!"

Chen Gong's face sank, and he directly shook off Lu Bu's hand.

The lively atmosphere of this scene suddenly became much colder.

The generals were not stupid, and when they saw this, they withdrew with amusement, and soon dispersed completely.

The good banquet was interrupted because of the arrival of Chen Gong, and Lu Bu's good mood suddenly disappeared, he sat on the main seat and said impatiently: "What's the matter?" Say it! ”

However, Chen Gong did not say anything directly, but said to Lu Bu with an angry face: "How can a general be so depraved? You drink and feast all day long and don't ask about military affairs, do you really want to completely leave it alone? ”

Lu Bu was a little angry when he heard this, slapped the wine glass on the table, and retorted: "General Ben has fought all his life, what's wrong with enjoying it?" ”

"Besides, today is General Ben's birthday, isn't it allowed for General Ben to hold a banquet to celebrate? It's not that I didn't invite you, it's that you didn't come! ”

Chen Gong said expressionlessly: "If your subordinates remember correctly, the general has already passed a birthday last month." ”

"Yes, yes?"

Being ruthlessly pierced by Chen Gong, Lu Bu's old face turned red and he scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Well, maybe General Ben is misremembering...... By the way, didn't you say that you have something important to report, I don't know what it is? ”

In order to avoid embarrassment, Lu Bu hurriedly changed the topic.

And Chen Gong didn't bother to talk to him, and said directly: "Yuan Shu sent someone over, wanting to ask for his son Yuan Yao and marry the general's daughter." ”

"Now that the letter of appointment and the gifts have been delivered, the messenger is in the post station outside the city, waiting for the general to summon him."

"What?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he suddenly sobered up a little.

He had already known the news that Yuan Shu had established himself as emperor, but now he still wanted to marry him and marry his daughter?

What the hell is this guy up to?

Lu Bu was shocked in his heart, looked up at Chen Gong, and asked, "Gongtai, what do you think Yuan Shu's purpose is?" What does he want to do? ”

He is only good at fighting, not good at strategy and scheming.

Chen Gong was his most relied on advisor, and he had to ask Chen Gong's opinion first for everything.
