Until November, light snow.

After the meeting in the Han Palace, the Han court issued an edict every other day.

The imperial court ordered the servants to shoot Pei Mao and get rid of Li Jue.

At that time, Pei Mao had already made it easy for Duan Xuan, the general in Guanzhong, to communicate with each other.

Duan Xuan had already been dissatisfied with Li Jue before.

When Cao Cao marched westward, Duan Xuan had already planned to join Cao Cao, but before Cao Cao's army arrived, news came out that Yuan Shu had proclaimed himself emperor.

After Pei Mao received the imperial edict, he immediately contacted Duan Xuan.

The two hit it off immediately.

On that day, he led the Guanzhong army and went straight to Chang'an, where Li Jue was, to crusade.

At the same time.

Zhong Yao, who was ordered by the imperial court to go to Guanzhong to station at the festival, had already accepted the order and set off.

At the same time.

Within Xiapi, Xuzhou.

At that time, the imperial edict had also reached Xuzhou.

After learning that the imperial court had appointed him to oversee Xuzhou and serve as Xuzhou's pastor, Xi Yu immediately understood.

Thinking about it, this must be what Cao Cao meant.

It seems that the letter he left behind had some effect after all.

Xuzhou is quite stable now.

Since the attack on General Ji Lingxiao's head that night, no one in Xiapi City had anything to say about Xi Yu.

At least, on the surface, he is still highly respected.

Now, after receiving the news that the imperial court appointed Xi Yu as the pastor of Xuzhou, there is not even the slightest objection from the entire Xuzhou.

However, Xi Yu is not in a hurry to deal with Lu Bu now.

Later, Lu Bu seemed to have received the news that Xi Yu was in Xuzhou, and seemed to be afraid of Xi Yu.

Lu Bu, who is now in Xuzhou, seems to be hiding himself, stationed in the towns he captured, making no sound at all.

Xi Yu doesn't seem to care about this situation.

Right now, he was busy checking various situations in Xuzhou in the past years. For a moment, the whole of Xuzhou seemed to have suddenly become quiet.

And the other side.

Liu Bei, who led the army on this expedition and was stationed in Xiaopei, Xuzhou, also learned about Cao Cao's return to Xuchang, and also learned about the events in Xuchang.

Knowing that Yang Biao and others failed after all, Liu Bei didn't have much expression on his face.

After learning about Yang Xiu and others' plans before, Liu Bei knew that it would be difficult for Yang Xiu and others to succeed.

Sure enough, the current results speak for themselves.

"What a pity!"

Liu Bei still felt a little regretful about Yang Xiu's death.

In Liu Bei's view, Yang Xiu's talents are quite outstanding. If the other party is willing to help him, he will definitely treat him as a guest.

What a pity.

Yang Xiu seems to have never wanted to surrender to him.

Perhaps in the eyes of the other party, the other party has never looked down upon him!

Yang Xiunai came from a noble family, and the Yang family was the lintel of the fourth generation and the three princes. It was natural for him to look down on Liu Bei, which was normal.

Liu Bei knew very well that compared to the glory of his ancestors, he would not be the one he is today because of Liu Xie's endorsement.

Is there any noble family that would take a look at it?

At this time, Mi Zhu, who was standing next to him, felt somewhat enlightened after hearing Liu Bei's words.

He knew what Liu Bei meant by pity.

If his Mi family was not the home of merchants, perhaps he would not have chosen Liu Bei's words.

Even if his Mi family had the same status in Hebei as the Zhen family, he would not choose Liu Bei.

What's more, it's Yang Xiu who has been in the family of the Fourth Generation and the Three Dukes since he was born.

Even if it is the Chen family in Xuzhou, it is difficult to choose Liu Bei.

At this time, Mi Zhu looked at Liu Bei, as if he suddenly thought of something.

"Lord, we led the army to Xuzhou, but now we are stationed in Xiaopei without any action. Now many of the generals under our command seem to be complaining!"

Thinking of the large army brought by Liu Bei today, there are quite a few criticisms of Liu Bei.

After thinking about it, Mi Zhu finally spoke to Liu Bei.

After hearing this, Liu Bei raised his eyes and glanced at Mi Zhu.

He led the army out to support Xuzhou, but now Xuzhou has been more or less stable, with only Lu Bu left.

Then even Xi Fengyi is not in a hurry to make any move, so why is he anxious?

If they attack Yuan Shu, Liu Bei will naturally be the first to rush forward.

But now, don’t rush!

"Zizhong!"

"Although we are stationed in Xiaopei, the entire Xuzhou is now under Xiyu's control. What's more, the imperial court has just appointed him as the Mu of Xuzhou!"

"Now that we are stationed in Xiaopei, we still have to be controlled by the other party to some extent!"

"Now, Xiyu has no dispatches, so we can continue to stay in Xiaopei!"

Liu Bei is not in a hurry!

He is still waiting for his second and third brothers to come and have his turn!

Calculating the time, it’s only a few days away!

As for Lu Bu's affairs, if Xi Yu has arrangements, he will naturally be happy to do so.

However, now, Liu Bei still has some hesitation in his heart.

After leaving Xuchang this time, he naturally did not intend to be controlled by anyone, whether it was Cao Cao or Xi Yu.

The reason why I say this is just to delay for a while, waiting for my second and third brothers to arrive.

When the time comes, we can still discuss whether we go to attack Yuan Shu first or do other things later.

"Trouble Zizhong, go ahead and appease the generals under your command, tell them that we are stationed again to wait for the arrangements of Taiwei Xi!"

After thinking about it, Liu Bei finally spoke to Mi Zhu.

The 30,000 troops brought out from Xuchang are not a small number after all for him.

If he could turn these 30,000 troops into his own, it would be the best thing for Liu Bei.

After hearing Liu Bei's words, Mi Zhu didn't say much.

After nodding yes, he immediately went to the military camp to make arrangements.

After the lieutenants learned about Liu Bei's thoughts, they temporarily calmed down because of their playful relationship.

It’s just a matter of staying in Xiaopei for a few days, it’s nothing.

This situation lasted for several more days.

On this day, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian and others, whom Liu Bei had been waiting for, finally arrived at Xiaopei.

Today, the weather is slightly cold!

But Liu Bei's heart seemed to be lit with a flame.

He had been waiting outside Xiaopei City early. After seeing two figures riding horses from afar, Liu Bei immediately stood up and dismounted.

"Yun Chang, Yide!"

Liu Bei shouted!

The two men Guan and Zhang came from afar and came on horseback. Before they could get in front of Liu Bei, they fell off their horses in an instant with a distance of three to five feet.

"Brother!"

The two of them spoke in unison, with a slight tremor in their voices.

It has been more than a year since they parted ways and met each other. This is the longest time they have been separated since they became sworn brothers.

After shouting to each other, the three brothers didn't say anything more and just kept their own hands and dragged each other's arms and hugged each other.

When Mi Zhu and Sun Qian saw this scene from afar, they just smiled.
