After many days of marching, Lu Bu's army finally arrived at Xiapi, Xuzhou.
Chen Gong from the former army had already met with Liu Bei in Xiapi half a day in advance and explained his intention.
After hearing this, Liu Bei agreed without saying a word.
The back hall of Liu Bei's Xiapi Mansion.
"Brother, why did you agree to the three surnamed slaves?
They have no good intentions.
If you ask me, just drive Chen Gong away."
Zhang Fei stared at him and said angrily.
"Yes, brother, you must be wary of villains like Lu Bu.
Talking about temporarily borrowing the city for rest is a complete lie.
He must have been unable to stand in Yanzhou, so he came to join us.
He will definitely come to us in the future.
You are plotting against me, Xuzhou."
Guan Yu also echoed.
These two men completely forgot that if Lu Bu had not attacked Yanzhou, the current Xuzhou should be named Cao, and there would be no place for these three brothers.
Liu Bei sneered and said, "You don't understand my brother's purpose of doing this.
First of all, Lu Bu has more than ten thousand elite soldiers.
If we don't let him in, he will beat us to defend.
Secondly, brother, I want to use him to defeat Cao Cao.
Finally, we Don't you always say that benevolence, righteousness and morality should be the foundation of the world?
If you don't make some gestures, who will believe that you are based on benevolence, righteousness and morality?
Not only will I let him enter the city, but I will also give him the seal of Xuzhou Governor. " "Ah brother, you are crazy.
How much effort and effort did we put into getting Tao Qian to give it to us in Xuzhou voluntarily?
How could you give it away?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei both shouted in shock. .
Liu Bei stopped talking and had a strange smile on his face.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that their persuasion was ineffective, so they had no choice but to give up.
In fact, at the moment, the entire civil service system in Xuzhou is in the hands of Liu Bei, and a big seal is just an object.
Even if Lu Bu takes it, the actual leader of Xuzhou is still Liu Bei.
Soon, Lu Bu also arrived in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei personally greeted him at the city gate.
Lu Bu finally met Uncle Liu Huang, whom he had "already known".
Needless to say, the two exchanged pleasantries and complimented each other.
It's just that Lu Bu noticed that Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's expressions and eyes were wrong behind Liu Bei.
After entering the city, Liu Bei hosted a banquet in hospitality.
At the banquet, Liu Bei and Lu Bu introduced their subordinates and generals to each other one by one.
After three rounds of drinking, we started talking more to each other.
After Lu Bu talked and got to know each other, he had a general idea in his mind.
Xuzhou also had shallow waters and many bastards, and small temples and small demons and strong winds.
The whole of Xuzhou is roughly divided into three groups.
Liu Bei's own power counts as one, the Xuzhou civil service system counts as one, and the Xuzhou military attache class counts as another.
The Xuzhou civil servants obeyed Liu Bei and had the power to unite.
However, the military general class was still a little dissatisfied with Liu Bei, the top leader who had gained Tao Qian's trust with his benevolence and morality, and who parachuted into Xuzhou without qualifications or experience.
At this time, everyone was drunk and tipsy.
Liu Bei suddenly came to Lu Bu with a box in his hands, and said loudly with a hint of drunkenness: "Today, my dear brother Fengxian came to my Xuzhou, and immediately made me shine in Pi City.
I will give you a big gift for my brother.

For my dear brother."
After saying that, he put the box on Lu Bu's desk.
Lu Bu pretended to be surprised and asked, "What valuable gift did Brother Xuande give me?"
"Brother, you will know when you open it."
When Lu Bu opened the box, everyone present was stunned.
It turned out to be the seal of Xuzhou Governor.
Lu Bu smiled calmly and said, "Brother, I can't afford such valuables."
After saying that, he handed the big seal back to Liu Bei with both hands.
Chen Gong on the side breathed a sigh of relief, but Liu Bei was a little surprised.
He originally wanted to appreciate Lu Bu's flattered look, but unexpectedly the other party treated him like dirt.
Liu Bei said: "On that day when Governor Tao granted this seal to Bei, Bei swore that he would temporarily lead Xuzhou as pastoralist, and he would give it up if he was worthy.
Today there is a red rabbit among the horses, and the virtuous brother of Fengxian named Lu Bu among the people should be regarded as a worthy person.
Bei This promise should also be honored.”
Lu Bu's expression changed and he said: "Brother, I am by no means a virtuous person.
Brother Xuande, please don't say this again, otherwise Fengxian will have no choice but to deny you as a brother."
When Liu Bei heard this, he sighed and said, "Since my good brother refuses to accept me, I won't force him to do anything.
Another thing is that my good brother brought an army of ten thousand people here, plus refugees, women and children.
Xiapi City is too small to accommodate it." .
But there is a city called Xiaopei near Xiapi City.
Except for General Cao Bao's troops, there is no other garrison in the city.
There are few people and the army can be stationed in this city. " "That's very good."
Lu Bu agreed happily.
"Okay, come on, come on, let me give you another drink for my brother, let's continue drinking, drinking."
Liu Bei became happy.
After the banquet, Liu, Guan, and Zhang got together again.
"Huh, I guess these three slaves know each other."
Zhang Fei said hummingly.
Guan Yu was silent while stroking his proud beard.
But Liu Bei said slowly and solemnly: "Lü Bu is by no means an ordinary person.
I'm not talking about his personal bravery."
"You're not just an idle person, aren't you just a pretty boy with good martial arts skills?"
Zhang Fei muttered sourly.
Although Xiaopei has a small character in its name, the city is not small and is currently garrisoned by Cao Bao.
On the second day after Lü Bu temporarily stayed in Xiaopei to rest, Cao Bao hosted another family dinner in honor of Lü Bu.
At the banquet, after three drinks, the conversation started.
Only then did Lu Bu realize how aggrieved the generals of Xuzhou's original system were since Liu Bei took over Xuzhou.
In Cao Bao's words, it's like having someone ride on your neck to poop and urinate.
Lu Bu saw that Cao Bao was over fifty and came from a wealthy family.
Naturally, he was dissatisfied with being governed by such young men as Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, so he tried to persuade him with a few words.
When Cao Bao heard what Lu Bu said, he simply said it.
It was not that Xuzhou generals looked down on Guan and Zhang.
Guan Yu was okay, but Zhang Fei was nothing at all.
His two main hobbies are drinking and torturing soldiers.
Since Liu Bei took charge of Xuzhou, he often found excuses to abuse Xuzhou generals.
Later, Cao Bao expressed his intention to let Lu Bu take Xuzhou into his pocket.

Lu Bu knew what it meant, but remained silent.
At this time, a woman came forward to serve Lu Bu wine.
When Lu Bu raised his head, he accidentally met her eyes and couldn't help but froze.
Although this woman is a beauty, she is not as good as Diao Chan.
Lu Bu was stunned because her appearance was exactly the same as Lu Bu's wife in his previous life.
When the woman saw Lu Bu's appearance, she pursed her lips and smiled and walked away.
Only then did Lu Bu come to his senses and realized that he had lost his composure.
None of this escaped Cao Bao's eyes, and he said: "Let Marquis Wen laugh.
This is my little daughter Cao Min.
She has long heard of Marquis Wen's unparalleled reputation.
Today she wants to have a glimpse of him, so I went on to serve the wine to have a look at the general."
Lu Bu nodded slightly, still thinking about this face that he had not seen again for several years.
Behind the screen, Cao Min calmed down his emotions and thought about how he seemed to have known Marquis Lu Wen for a long time.
Seeing his face and When I look at my eyes, I feel a feeling that I have never experienced before.
Cao Bao suddenly changed the subject and said: "The general has long heard the good story between Marquis Wen and Miss Diao Chan.
But Marquis Wen has never accepted Miss Diao Chan as his wife.
It must be because of Miss Diao Chan's background, but a real man should have a wife.
What does Marquis Wen think of my daughter?"
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this.
The reason why he only took Diao Chan as his concubine was because of the promise he made to his wife in his previous life, that he would also find her as his wife in this life.
But there was no way he could say it.
Cao Min, who was behind the screen, turned red, surprised and happy.
At the end, Lu Bu said sadly: "I just don't know what Miss Cao Min wants.
I want to listen to her own opinion."
Cao Bao was overjoyed, slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, it's done
