Shu Han Confucian General of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 22

Therefore, Liu Bei decided on the spot to accept Lu Bu, and at the same time ordered someone to send an order to Pengcheng to let Lu Bu and his party come to Xuzhou City.The next morning, someone came to report that Lu Bu and his men had passed through Pengcheng and headed straight for Xuzhou, and they were expected to arrive in Xuzhou in the afternoon.

"Everyone follow me to meet Lu Bu." After hearing the news, Liu Bei immediately said to everyone in the lobby. "Brother, why don't you take advantage of Lu Bu's defenselessness at the gate, and my second brother and I rush up and kill him?" Zhang Fei said suddenly.

"Third Brother, stop talking nonsense." Liu Bei reprimanded, and then Zhao Feng followed the crowd to meet Lu Bu at the gate of the city.Zhao Feng suddenly remembered something, stepped forward quietly and tugged Guan Yu's sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Second General, there is one thing you need to be careful about."

"What's the matter?" Guan Yu also asked in a low voice.

"My lord might be soft-hearted and give up Xuzhou to Lu Bu. That would be bad. The second general needs to be on guard." Zhao Feng said succinctly. After Guan Yu heard this, Danfeng's eyes, which were slightly open, also flashed a gleam. , then nodded slowly.

"It's a big air." Zhao Feng secretly thought a little unhappy, and now he was standing on both sides of the gate of Xuzhou City with the civil and military officials of Xuzhou City, and waiting with Liu Bei to welcome Lu Bu.In fact, when Zhao Feng was reading Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he felt quite uncomfortable with this Lu Bu.This buddy's martial arts is indeed the best in the world, but his IQ is not right.Of course, poor IQ is not the most fatal thing. The problem is that if you don’t want to be a promising general, but try to be a vassal and fight for hegemony, then you are looking for your own death.

After waiting for a long time, when Zhao Feng got impatient, he suddenly seemed to feel the ground vibrating under his feet.At first it was just a feeling, and gradually this feeling became more and more obvious, and then a black line appeared at the end of the wilderness, and it became thicker and thicker.

"Here we come." Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, the number one evil spirit of the Three Kingdoms period has finally come.At this time, the black line was getting closer and closer, and finally I saw clearly that it was a group of cavalry, and this group of cavalry rushed straight to about half a mile from the waiting crowd before stopping.Zhao Feng looked at the group of cavalry with some envy. He saw that they were all wearing black iron armor, and their crotches were all good horses from Bingzhou. Not surprisingly, they should be Lu Bu's trump card - the Bingzhou Wolf Rider.

At this moment, the blood-red war horse under the crotch of the man in the middle suddenly neighed and stood up. The man was wearing silver chain mail, a scarlet Sichuan brocade battle robe, and a purple gold crown on his head. A Fangtian painted halberd.Following the roar of his war horse, the rest of the horses lowered their heads and snorted, and for a moment the arrogance of the knight and the horse under his crotch was undoubtedly revealed.

"Lv Bu among people, Chitu among horses." Zhao Feng murmured involuntarily, his face was unprecedentedly solemn, and Guan Hai beside him could not help pressing his hand on the hilt of his sword.And behind Lv Bu, Zhao Feng noticed that there were eight cavalry lined up, which seemed to be the eight masters of Bingzhou under Lv Bu.In addition, there was a man with the appearance of a Confucian scholar beside Lu Bu, who should be his Chen Gong if nothing else.

After Lu Bu controlled the horse, he saw the three familiar figures at the gate of Xuzhou City, and for a while he couldn't help exuding a burst of murderous aura.Chen Gong beside him seemed to sense it, and quickly pressed his arm and shook his head slightly.Lu Bu also sighed softly, got off his horse and walked towards Liu Bei and the others together with Chen Gong, but the Eighth General still stayed there.Zhao Feng took a closer look and found that only the person on the far right looked paler. It should be the silver-faced quick gun, Yanmen Zhang Liao.

"Marquis Wen is coming back, but Bei Wei never greeted him from afar, forgive me for my sin." Liu Bei smiled and cupped his hands. "My dear brother, what are you talking about!" Lu Bu grinned and stepped forward to take Liu Bei's hand.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind Liu Bei were also waiting for the battle. Zhao Feng couldn't help being speechless after hearing Lu Bu's title.

"He actually called Brother Liu Beixian?" Zhao Feng felt unbelievable about this. This is not the attitude that a person who has nowhere to go to seek refuge should have.But to say that Liu Bei's psychological quality is really good, after hearing this name, his expression didn't fluctuate at all, at least Zhao Feng didn't see it.

Maybe it's the first time here, and I didn't expect Liu Bei to greet him in person, so Lu Bu was very enthusiastic.At this time, Liu Bei also introduced everyone in Xuzhou to Lu Bu and Chen Gong one by one. Except for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who had fought against each other, Lu Bu also bowed their hands in full courtesy.When Zhao Feng was introduced, Lu Bu still cupped his hands, but behind him, Chen Gong's eyes lit up and asked, "But General Zhao who planned to defeat Cao Mengde at the foot of Jiuli Mountain?"

"Don't dare to take it seriously, I'm really my servant." Zhao Feng also said humbly, and Chen Gong looked at the young man with a very friendly smile in front of him, and told him intuitively that this person is not simple.

After some talk on the scene, Lu Bu led the crowd to Xuzhou City.After cleaning up for Lv Bu, Mi Zhu suggested that Liu Bei let Lv Bu lead his troops and his family members to station in Xiaopei.

In the winter of 195 A.D., the tiger sent Lu Bu to Liu Bei in Xuzhou.For a while, the five counties of Xuzhou, which had just experienced the handover of power, became a little tense again.Zhao Feng has been vigilant all the time since Lv Bu came, for fear that his negligence would allow Lv Bu to take Xuzhou.Of course, since Lu Bu entered Xiaopei, Zhang Fei, who was originally stationed there, could not stay there any longer. Liu Bei transferred him back to Xuzhou to serve.However, he was not a short-hearted person. Before he left, he still installed more than a dozen eyeliners to keep an eye on Lu Bu's movements in Xiaopei City, which made Zhao Feng admire him.

"What's happened to Lu Bu recently?" In the lobby of Xuzhou government office, Zhang Fei asked leisurely while sitting on one side, and the next one was a spy he had placed in Xiaopei.

"Back to the third general, Lu Bu has only been drinking and hunting with his generals recently, but I heard that he has a new concubine, who seems to be the daughter of General Cao Bao, the Prime Minister of Xiapi." The spy replied honestly.

"Huh? These two thieves got together?" Zhang Fei became anxious when he heard this, and was about to lose his temper when Zhao Feng at the side hurriedly signaled the spy to retreat first. "Third general, it seems that Lu Bu never sincerely came to join us. Maybe this old man wants to replace him." Zhao Feng said.

"Exactly, this guy colluded with Cao Bao to conspire against Xuzhou. The evidence is conclusive. When I report to Brother Ming, I will immediately send troops to destroy this guy." Zhang Fei said angrily.Zhao Feng couldn't help but smiled wryly, and quickly stopped him: "Third General, now it's just that Lu Bu wants to take a concubine, how can it be considered convincing evidence? Besides," Zhao Feng also sighed at this point, seeing that there was no one else around, then Then he said: "It is true that Lu Bu has the bravery of a man, and his eight strong generals and Gao Shun's trap are even first-class fierce generals. There is also Chen Gong who provides advice and advice, and there are more than ten thousand men under his command. It’s hard to clean up. I’ve just recovered a little bit of anger in Xuzhou, and I’m afraid I’m going to mess it up again.”

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Fei was not an ignorant person, he asked hastily.

"Lv Bu is a tiger and a wolf. Now he is connecting with Cao Bao. He clearly intends to seek Xuzhou. In my opinion, it is better to transfer Cao Bao back to Xuzhou City first, so that he will not be too far away in Xiapi and play tricks with Lu Bu." After a pause, Zhao Feng said again: "Furthermore, although Lu Bu is unworthy, his eight strong generals, Gao Shun's camp and Bingzhou Wolf Rider are all elites in the world. If they can be used for their own use, then I, Xuzhou It’s like adding wings to a tiger.”

"In your opinion, how dare you do it?" With insufficient evidence and how to deal with Cao Bao, Zhang Fei was already a little dizzy by Zhao Feng, so he could only ask subconsciously.

"What I mean is, to capture the thief, first capture the king. As long as we find an opportunity to kill Lu Bu quickly with a thunderbolt, then the rest will be easy to handle." Zhao Feng tried his best to be concise.

"Kill Lu Bu?" Zhang Fei was shocked, and then looked at Zhao Feng like an idiot before continuing: "How brave Lu Bu is, it is difficult to kill him, let alone kill him quickly. What's more He has the red rabbit horse, even if I team up with the eldest brother and the second brother, we can only defeat him, but it is very difficult to kill him."

"Hehe, three generals, if it's not clear, we can come here. In short, don't worry, Lu Bu will die." Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel a little serious when he said this.Zhang Fei looked at Zhao Feng, frowned, and finally nodded.

The next day Zhang Fei suggested to Liu Bei that Lv Bu seemed to be in collusion with Cao Bao, so it would be better for Cao Bao to return to Xuzhou to serve, and Liu Bei would follow.And that night, Zhao Feng also had a secret conversation with Lu Hao in his own camp, and no outsiders knew about it.

"How is the design of the ballista?" Zhao Feng asked.

"Returning to the general, I can already shoot 25 huge arrows at once. And after replacing the original brown rope with a tendon rope, the strength is much stronger, enough to penetrate the soaked cowhide within fifty steps." Lu Hao respectfully said replied.

"Very good, I'll transfer the materials to you right away, you have to make at least twenty for me before summer." Zhao Feng ordered.Hearing his general's unprecedentedly serious tone, Lu Hao couldn't help being startled, and finally nodded subconsciously.

However, before summer, just as spring began, another shocking news came: Cao Cao obeyed the advice of counselors Xun Yu and Guo Jia, and sent troops to Sizhou to eliminate Li Jue and Guo Si who were entrenched there, and rescued the Han people who had been under their control. Xiandi.Emperor Xian appointed Cao Cao as prime minister, and Cao Cao occupied Yanzhou and Sizhou for a while, and his strength increased greatly.He even coerced the emperor to order the princes and order the Quartet.
