When the sun rises, thousands of rays of light shine down, and the world becomes clear again. Liu Bei got up early and came to the official residence to do business. Since taking control of Xuzhou, Liu Bei has always been so diligent, regardless of wind or rain, he has never stopped. ¡°My lord!¡± ¡ ¡°Meet my lord!¡± ¡ ¡ ¡ Along the way, people kept greeting people, and Liu Bei responded with a smile, and he looked very cordial. After arriving at the lobby, Liu Bei's amiable expression suddenly disappeared, and his face became extremely solemn. Today, Liu Bei will propose a big event. Although countless arrangements have been made before, when the event comes, he still can't help but beat a drum in his heart. "I hope everything goes well!" Liu Bei prayed in his heart. At this moment, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came hand in hand. "Brother!" Guan and Zhang saluted with clasped fists. "Well!" Liu Bei gestured to the two of them and said, "Sit down!" Guan and Zhang were not polite either. They brothers didn't care about this at all. They nodded slightly, and then walked directly to the front on the right. Two seats to sit down. After a while, Chen Deng also came. Liu Bei raised his eyes and looked at Chen Deng, Chen Deng also looked at Liu Bei, and the two exchanged a look. After the ceremony, Chen Deng came to the seat on the left and sat down. Except for the exchange of glances with Chen Deng at the beginning, Liu Bei never looked at Chen Deng again and lowered his head to deal with the things in his hands. After a long time, everyone finally arrived. "Okay! Let's start the discussion!" Liu Bei glanced at everyone and said calmly. Entering the main topic, everyone reported all the complicated government affairs in various places, waiting for Liu Bei to take action. Liu Bei didn't know whether he really understood or pretended to understand, but his attitude was extremely serious. He would dig into everything no matter how big or small it was, and he would only give up after asking for a clear explanation. " Yuan Shu obviously did a better job at this point. If he didn't understand it, he would leave it to someone who did. However, he only controlled the overall situation. With the Ministry of Supervision, local officials did not dare to be too presumptuous. Time passed slowly, and it was almost noon. Suddenly, a loud roar was heard from outside the hall: "Wen is waiting for Lu Bu to arrive." Everyone looked surprised. Lu Bu had been in Xuzhou for some time, but he only temporarily attached to Liu Bei and never completely surrendered. Logically speaking, it would be like this today. Lu Bu should not have arrived at the occasion. Liu Bei seemed to have known about it for a long time and did not show any surprise. "Brother Xuande!" Lu Bu's shout was heard from afar. Hearing Lu Bu call Liu Bei this way, everyone immediately changed their colors. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei reacted particularly violently. They suddenly stood up and looked at the door with angry expressions on their faces. Lu Bu strode into the hall with an arrogant face. He turned a blind eye to the murderous gazes of everyone and asked Liu Bei carelessly: "Brother Xuande! Why did you ask a certain family to come here?" Zhang Fei couldn't bear it anymore. He couldn't help but shouted loudly and said: "Hey! My eldest brother is a member of the Han clan, who are you? How dare you call me a wise brother! Come, come, come! Today I will fight with you for three hundred rendezvous." Lu Bu His expression changed, and he was about to have an attack on the spot, but when he saw the frosty expressions on the faces of everyone around him, his heart suddenly sank. At the moment, Lu Bu ignored Zhang Fei's provocation, looked directly at Liu Bei, and asked: "What do you mean by your Majesty?" The title has been changed, which means that Lu Bu has softened. Liu Bei showed a smile on his face and winked at Guan Yu. Guan Yu understood and pulled Zhang Fei back. "My third brother has always been reckless. I hope Marquis Wen won't take offense." Liu Bei said warmly. Immediately, Liu Bei motioned for Lu Bu to sit down. Seeing that Liu Bei's attitude was acceptable, Lu Bu felt a little at ease and came to sit down in the guest seat. After Lu Bu sat down, Liu Bei said, "I have something to discuss with Marquis Wen." "Your Majesty, please speak!" At this moment, Lu Bu did not dare to be arrogant and rude anymore, and spoke very politely. Liu Bei smiled and said: "You don't need to be polite, Marquis Wen! We, Xuzhou, and Wen Marquis both have a mortal hatred for Cao Cao, so we should work together." Lu Bu couldn't guess Liu Bei's intentions. He was not good at these twists and turns. Maybe he was disdainful, so he asked bluntly: "What do you mean by your Majesty? I don't want to say it bluntly." Liu Bei pondered for a while and said: "According to this, I don't want to have a town named Xiaopei. Have you ever heard of it, Marquis Wen?" "Xiaopei?" "Lu Bu had some vague memories. He came from Yanzhou and passed through a small town, whose name was Xiaopei. So, Lu Bu nodded and replied: "Some reflections!" "My intention is to make Wen?I don¡¯t know what you think of stationing troops here? "Liu Bei asked softly. Lu Bu changed his color and said, "Do you want to drive Bu away? " "Wen Hou is worried too much, but he has no intention of doing so." Liu Bei said hurriedly. At this time, Chen Deng intervened: "Don't misunderstand Wenhou!" The reason why my lord is like this is all for the sake of warmth and has no other thoughts. " Lu Bu said stiffly: "I have to ask sir for advice. " Chen Deng smiled and said: "Although Xiaopei is small, it has vital points. If Cao Cao were to invade, he would have to pass through this place. Similarly, if we, Xuzhou, wanted to invade Yanzhou, we would have to pass through here. Wen Hou is stationing troops here, and my lord supplies food and grass. When the time is right, he can send his troops to Yanzhou and regain the foundation. " It sounds nice, but in fact, it is to let Lu Bu be the watchdog of Xuzhou. " Lu Bu had no plans. How could he have thought of this? After being fooled by Chen Deng, he was overjoyed. He stood up and said: "The commander is so righteous, Bu is extremely grateful." " As the saying goes: After being sold, you still help count the money. This is what Lu Bu is like at this time. Liu Bei smiled slightly and said: "There is no need to be polite! "The two exchanged a few words, and then Lu Bu left with a lot of thanks. Seeing this, Liu Bei and Chen Deng looked at each other and smiled. In the crowd, Cao Bao looked at Lu Bu's retreating back, and a strange light flashed in his eyes. He didn't know what he was thinking. .?¡ After finally driving Lu Bu out of Xuzhou, Liu Bei breathed a long sigh of relief and was in a good mood, and asked everyone: "What else can you do? " Everyone came back to their senses and shook their heads. They also saw that Liu Bei had deliberately wanted to 'drive out' Lu Bu this time. Now that his goal was achieved, he was too lazy to talk nonsense with them. " Presumably they are thinking about how to celebrate at this time. ! "Everyone's eyes lingered on Liu Bei and Chen Deng, and they secretly guessed in their hearts. Liu Bei nodded with satisfaction when he saw that everyone was interested, and was about to speak. Suddenly, Mi Zhu was seen slowly walking out of the queue, bowing and saying: "Lord! I have something to report to my subordinates. " Liu Bei was dissatisfied and was naturally unhappy, but he still asked patiently: "What's the matter, Zizhong? Mi Zhu looked embarrassed and hesitated: "When I was on an envoy before, I felt that Shouchun was as prosperous as Luoyang, the former imperial capital, so I wanted to go to Shouchun to do some business." However, my lord and Yuan Shu" It stands to reason that Mi Zhu does not need to report to Liu Bei for his own business, but this will arouse suspicion. Liu Bei's eyes flashed, and endless murderous intent emerged in his heart. Suddenly, there was a vague feeling in the hall. Seeing this, everyone said nothing and watched carefully, for fear of getting into trouble. "Xuzhou is rich, but Zizhong is not satisfied and seems to be a little greedy. People can be greedy, but if it is too much, it will be bad. Liu Bei said stiffly. The implication is that I, Liu Bei, am already good enough, and you, Mi Zhu, should also be satisfied. If you are too greedy, you will end up badly. I want to share my worries with the Lord! "Liu Bei was stunned. He originally thought that Mi Zhu was planning to abandon him, but from what he heard, he didn't seem to have such an intention. After thinking about it carefully for a while, Liu Bei finally came to his senses. "It turns out that he was using this to attract my attention and regain my attention. Reuse. " Thinking of this, Liu Bei couldn't help but smile.
