Xuzhou.

When Lu Bu's army arrived, Liu Bei went out of the city to welcome him thirty miles away.

"Warm! I haven't seen you for a long time." Liu Bei smiled.

"I am polite!" When I came, Chen Gong specifically told Lu Bu that they should not be arrogant at this time, so Lu Bu would be so polite, otherwise he would definitely call Liu Bei's name.

Seeing this, Liu Bei smiled even more and said, "A banquet is set up in the city, and I'll go here."

"I'll ask first!" Lu Bu said.

The two of them gave in and decided to join the city.

When he arrived at the provincial governor's mansion, Liu Bei introduced everyone in Xuzhou to Lu Bu and greeted him one by one.

After sitting down, Chen Gong winked at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu understood and clasped his fists to Liu Bei, "During Chang'an, Bu and Wang Situ designed to kill Dong Zhuo. They thought they could revive the Han Dynasty, but they did not expect to be revived by Li Jue and Guo Si's changes. The hardship was futile and drifted to Guandong, but all the princes were unable to be compatible. The Cao thief in the previous period was in private, and the soldiers invaded Xuzhou, and fortunately the envoys were saved. Bu was also dissatisfied with what Cao thief did, so he attacked Yanzhou to divide his power. He did not want to fall into a treacherous plan and lose his troops. Now Bu is willing to join the envoys and plan major issues together, but he does not know what he is willing to respect?"

This statement is reasonable and well-founded, especially "attacking Yanzhou to divide its power", which seems to be a desire to repay kindness.

This was not what Lu Bu thought of, but what Chen Gong taught him before.

After hearing this, Liu Bei smiled unabated. The afterglow swept over Chen Deng and nodded slightly when he saw him.

So, Liu Bei said: "Duke Tao is in a new mourning, and no one in Xuzhou is in charge. He is ready to take charge of the affairs of the state and feels that it is difficult to take on important tasks. Now that Wen Hou is here, we can give in."

As he said that, Liu Bei took out the seal of the provincial governor and handed it to Lu Bu with sincerity on his face.

However, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a terrifying light flashing in Liu Bei's eyes.

Lu Bu was brave but not resourceful. Even if he looked closely, he might not be able to notice Liu Bei’s abnormality. Moreover, when he heard that Liu Bei wanted to give Xuzhou to him, he was extremely excited and had already lost his inch. He could not even notice this.

Chen Gong, who was standing beside him, kept winking at Lu Bu, but unfortunately Lu Bu only had the seal of Xuzhou Mu in his eyes at this time, and other things had never been seen at all.

Immediately, Lu Bu stood up and was about to take over the seal.

At this moment, two murderous auras suddenly burst out, as if they were like a flood of beasts, attacking Lu Bu.

Lu Bu has been hanging on the battlefield all year round and is extremely sensitive to murderous aura, and he suddenly realizes it.

Looking up, I saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei standing behind Liu Bei and glaring at him.

Lu Bu woke up in shock, smiled and said to Liu Bei: "Bu is not just a brave man, how can he be a governor of Texas?"

Liu Bei was murderous intent in his heart. Lu Bu's performance just now was enough to show his attitude. Since he could not be convinced, the best way was to remove it.

"Be sincere and don't be suspicious." Liu Bei gave in again, just pretending.

Chen Gong couldn't stand it anymore and stood up and said, "Your strong guest should not be suppressed. If you want to do this, it will be really difficult for us to do it."

After hearing this, Liu Bei took the opportunity to put away the seal, but his murderous intent was even better than before.

The banquet officially begins next.

After the incident just now, everyone had their own thoughts and used some at will, and they scattered in a hurry.

After everyone left, Liu Bei secretly sent someone to call back, Zhang, and Chen Deng.

After a while, the three of them arrived.

Liu Bei looked at Chen Deng with a wry smile and said, "But he was guessed by Yuan Long. Lu Bu is indeed ambition. He probably wants to replace him when he goes to Xuzhou."

"He dares!" Zhang Fei's hair and hair were wide open, and his body exuded a violent aura.

Guan Yu squinted his eyes, and light shot out from the narrow gaps of his eyes.

Chen Deng said silently. He had expected this ending, so naturally he would not be surprised.

"Oh! What a pity!" Liu Bei sighed. He really wanted to subdue Lu Bu.

Having said that, who doesn't want to subdue the God of War? Just talk about Yuan Shao, if it weren't for Lu Bu's "crime", he would definitely be very happy to accept Lu Bu.

Seeing this, Chen Deng comforted: "Lord, there is no need to be like this. Lu Bu is a man who is brave and does not take others seriously. If he takes him under his command, what might happen. Now that he is exempted from this problem, the lord should be happy."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei nodded repeatedly. They also disliked Lu Bu. If Liu Bei had not deliberately concealed it before, the two would have come to persuade him long ago.

Liu Bei nodded slightly, was silent for a while, and asked, "Yuan Long thought, how should I arrange for Lu Bu?"

Chen Deng smiled sinisterly and said, "Although Lu Bu cannot conquer him, he may not be able to use him. The lord can order him to station troops in Xiaopei to resist Cao Cao."

Liu Bei's eyes lit up, and hesitated, but hesitated on his face and said: "Lu Bu is poor and is very kind to me, Xuzhou. If you do this, outsiders will gossip."

"Don't worry, brother! If anyone dares to gossip, my second brother and I will kill him!" Zhang Fei shouted.

Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei and stared at Chen Deng with his eyes tightly.

Chen Deng frowned, and some speculations were not accurate to Liu Bei's intentions. Logically speaking, his plan was the best. In addition, it was really difficult to arrange Lu Bu, but Liu Bei's attitude was really unpredictable.

"Lu Bu came to surrender when he was defeated and should have surrendered, but he had ulterior motives. It was a great kindness for the lord to accept it. No matter where he was content, Lu Bu should not have complaints. Moreover, everyone knows how Lu Bu is, and there will never be any unfavorable words. You can rest assured." Chen Deng patiently analyzed Liu Bei.

After hearing this, Liu Bei sighed, "Forget it! According to Yuan Long's words, I will tell Lu Bu tomorrow that he will go to Xiaopei to station. I will support the food and weapons."

The matter came to an end, and Chen Deng stopped staying for more and left.

The remaining brothers Liu Bei, Guan and Zhang talked about their brotherhood.

When he returned home, Chen Deng looked absent-minded, recalling Liu Bei's previous performance, full of doubts, and was also confused when paying homage to his father.

Seeing this, Chen Gui was curious and asked why.

Naturally, he did not dare to hide his father Chen Deng, and he revealed all his confusion.

After hearing this, Chen Gui smiled and said, "It's just that?"

"My father doesn't realize it... Is Liu Bei's attitude suspicious?" Chen Deng looked at his father curiously.

"Hmph!" Chen Gui snorted coldly and said, "What's suspicious? This is just a manifestation of the monarch's bribery of people's hearts."

"Purchase people's hearts?" Chen Deng was puzzled.

Chen Gui said: "Think about it, what effect would be if Liu Bei's words were spread today."

Chen Deng was stunned, lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "Benevolence and righteousness?"

"Not bad!" Chen Gui glanced at Chen Deng with appreciation and said, "It's benevolence and righteousness! He wants to show his benevolence and righteousness to the world."

"In this way, will Liu Bei spread the matter secretly?" Chen Deng asked.

"Yeah!" Chen Gui nodded, thought for a while, and said, "But it's unknown when we will choose."

Chen Deng looked at his father, full of admiration and said, "It's still my father who is wise and conscious!"

Chen Gui said lightly: "I hope you can also 'be aware of your hair', after all, I don't have many days left."

"Father must live a hundred years old, don't make such unlucky words." Chen Deng suddenly stood up and looked at Chen Gui with a nervous look on his face, but he thought Chen Gui felt something (who is about to die).

"Okay! I'm fine." Chen Gui waved his hand and signaled Chen Deng to sit down.

Chen Deng calmed down and sat back to his original position.

"Liu Bei's performance has made me more confident in him."

Speaking of this, Chen Gui looked at Chen Deng and said, "Next, you can increase your efforts and help him."

"I understand!" Chen Deng replied.

After a few words of advice, Chen Gui asked Chen Deng to go down.

Chen Deng bowed and retreated.

Chen Gui was the only one left in the dim room, staring at Shu Jian in his hand, but his mind had already traveled around.

"Liu Bei...ah! Such a background is really hard to make a decision!" Chen Gui sighed in his heart, his face full of helplessness. He wished Liu Bei was a relative of the Han Dynasty with a strong roots, so he would not have to have such a headache.
