Xiapi, Xuzhou Governor's Mansion.

Lu Bu's eyelids have been twitching recently and he has been uneasy. Ever since he drove away Liu Bei, he has faintly felt the undercurrents inside Xuzhou. It seems that things are developing in a very bad direction but he can't do anything about it.

If there are any worrying factors under his rule, one is the Mi clan of Donghai, with a fortune of tens of millions, thousands of soldiers, and Liu Han's backing, which is like a nail stuck in Lu Bu's heartland but unable to be pulled out.

If there is a fight with the Mi family, not to mention Liu Han's reaction, Yuan Shu will definitely not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the emptiness in the south.

As Chen Gong said, "The best way to deal with Mi's family is to turn a blind eye. Unless Mi's family can be eliminated quickly, as long as he doesn't show up, don't take action. Otherwise, with Mi's internal support and Yuan and Liu's cooperation outside, the final result will be There is only a dead end."

Therefore, since Lu Bu occupied Xuzhou, he has not taken action against the Mi family, leaving him alone and letting him become his barrier to intercept Zang Ba in the north.

"There hasn't been much movement from the Mi family recently. Why?"

Lu Bu walked alone in the hall and thought: "Could it be the Chen family from Xiapi?"

The Chen family in Xiapi is more worrying than the Mi family in Donghai. Although the Chen family is not as self-respecting as the Mi family, the Chen family and his son are representatives of the Xuzhou gentry. If the Chen family does not support them, it means that the Xuzhou gentry will be out of control. .

Today, unlike in Luoyang and Chang'an, Lu Bu does not need to look at the nobles' faces to act. The army relies on the Xuzhou nobles for all supplies such as money and food.

"It seems that we still need to win over..."

Lu Bu thought for a moment: "Come here! Send a message to Chen Yuanlong for me, saying that I want to entertain the father and son today, and I hope to give them some thin noodles."

"Here."

#
After several banquets, neither Chen nor his son showed any abnormality, and Lu Bu felt relieved.

On this day, Chen Gong was interrogating the captured Liu Bei envoy.

After Lu Bu and Chen and his son had a banquet to discuss military rations, they were walking to the military camp to chat. At this time, Chen Gui (characterized by Hanyu) and Chen Deng came from the opposite side, chatting and laughing with Lu Bu.

Chen Gui: "Haha... Generals don't have to be too modest. Haha..."

"Ha ha……"

Chen Deng: "Generals who have made great contributions to the country should be ranked among the three nobles! Huh? Haha..."

"Haha... Yuan Long is really a prize! Huh? Haha..."

Lu Bu was elated by the praise from Chen Gui and his son, and he was no longer as defensive as he had been in the past few days. He felt that it might have been due to too much pressure in the past few days.

Lu Bu was talking when he suddenly noticed Chen Gong in front of him: "Gongtai! What's going on here?"

"Uh……"

Chen Gong hesitated to speak and looked at Chen Gui and his son standing next to Lu Bu. Chen Gui and his son understood what he meant and said goodbye to Lu Bu.

"Oh! General, if you have something important to do, uh... please excuse me and excuse me."

"General! My father and I will go ahead and say goodbye!"

"Farewell!"

Chen Gui and his son left. Chen Gong looked at the leaving figures of Chen Gui and his son with suspicion.

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong a little annoyed. In the past few days, the relationship between him and Chen Gong had finally warmed up again, but Chen Gong had ruined it.

"What's going on at Gongtai?"

"This father and son often flatter themselves in front of the general. I suspect they have ulterior motives. The general should be on guard."

"Hmph! Are you waiting here just to slander and harm good people for no reason?"

Due to his previous disappointment with Chen Gong, Lu Bu subjectively prejudged this matter and felt that Chen Gong had failed to investigate clearly and was harming others.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and felt chilled. He suddenly felt that he was so strange: "Oh! If you don't keep your loyal words, we will suffer." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards Liu Bei's envoy: "Behead him!"

"Spare your life!..."

Liu Bei's envoy ran to Lu Bu and knelt down.

"My lord, have mercy on me! Oh! My lord, have mercy on me!..." Lu Bu looked puzzled: "Who is this?"

"My lord, my lord, have mercy on me! My lord! General Liu sent me to write a letter to Xuzhou. I really don't know what the book says! My lord, have mercy on me! Please have mercy on me, lord! Please have mercy on me!"

Chen Gong walked up to Lu Bu and handed a document into his hand. Lu Bu opened the document and looked at it, and saw that it was a letter written by Liu Bei to Chen Deng.

(Liu Bei): Dear Brother Yuanlong: Thank you very much for your rescue in the crisis. Now you can take a breather under the command of General Yuan. Now you have arrived at Lujiang. Lu Bu is a tiger and wolf. My dear brother, please don’t offend him. Wait for General Yuan’s troops to arrive one day. Be prepared to be the vanguard, be careful and prepare your troops and armor. See you and me again.

After Lu Bu read the letter, he threw it to the ground angrily, "Humph! How dare a big-eared thief do this? Gongtai! Pass it to me..."

Lu Bu turned around and saw that Chen Gong had already left. Liu Bei's envoys still knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy.

"My lord, have mercy on me! My lord, have mercy on me! Have mercy on me!"

Lu Bu angrily drew his sword and stabbed Liu Bei's envoy to death.

Even so, Lu Bu was still angry, "Send my military order and send out troops..."

Lu Bu wanted to send troops to Lujiang to cause trouble for Liu Bei, but when he thought that Xuzhou was thousands of miles away from Lujiang and could not cause trouble for him, he suddenly felt like he had been punched in the cotton.

"Ah! I want to fight Yuan Shu to the death!"

"Beat the drum, gather the generals!"

#
Xuzhou was once again turbulent. Although Lu Bu was not ashamed of Chen's actions, he still had to rely on Chen and other noble families for funding, so he could only endure it for the time being.

Lu Bu would not be polite to Yuan Shu.

In 196, Lu Bu personally led an army of to attack Huaiyin, captured Xuyi in one go, and came to the gates of Huailin City. His troops pointed directly at Yuan Shu's hometown Shouchun in Jiujiang County.

When Yuan Shu received the news, he thought it was a joke at first, but Lu Bu didn't know how to attack him?

When it was urgently reported that Lu Bu's men had arrived in Huailin, Yuan Shu was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat and ordered Ji Ling to lead an army of 20,000 to resist Lu Bu.

A reckless man is not to be feared, but a reckless man who works hard must still be respected.

"Hmph! I didn't go to Lu Bu to trouble him, but he came to me first!"

"Lord, calm down!"

"Calm down my anger? How do you want me to calm down? He, Lu Bu, dares to attack me!"

Yuan Shu was very angry. Lu Bu not only hit him, but also hit the fourth generation and the third prince in the face!

"Hahahaha!"

"Han Yin, why are you laughing?"

"My lord, I laugh at Lu Bu's lack of plans and Chen Gong's wisdom!"

"Ok?"

"My lord, I would like to congratulate my lord first!"

"The war ahead is tense, where does the joy come from?"

Yuan Shu was not happy and thought Han Yin was unconscious.

"My lord, Lu Bu personally leads a large army to invade, Xuzhou will be empty inside. If my lord leads another army from Xiaopei to Xuzhou and cuts off Lu Bu's retreat, Xuzhou will be easily captured."

Han Yin's words made Yuan Shu smile happily: "Wonderful! Wonderful! So, I have to thank Lu Bu!"

"In this case...I decided to personally lead an army of 30,000 to attack Xuzhou!"

Li Ye on the side said: "My lord, you might as well bring Liu Xuande with you. Firstly, he has been in Xuzhou for many years and has won the hearts of the people. With him here, the attack on Xuzhou will be more effective. Secondly, he and Lu Bu are also mortal enemies, so he will not let go." If you get this opportunity, you will definitely do your best for your lord, and when you come back, your lord can watch him in person."

"Okay! Just follow your words!" (End of Chapter)
