In the Xuzhou Governor's Mansion, Lu Bu happily stepped forward to greet the arrival of Liu Bei, Wei Yan, Jian Yong and others. When you make a mistake, you must admit it, and when you are beaten, you must stand upright. First of all, Liu Bei's attitude is very good and worth learning. When Lu Bu saw Liu Bei coming, he cupped his hands and said, "Haha... good brother!" This cry of "good brother" made Lu Bu feel refreshed. Especially when he saw the people behind Liu Bei who were angry but did not dare to show up, Lu Bu felt even more comfortable! The anger I had felt during this period suddenly disappeared. Liu Bei stood at the door and returned the greeting, and Lu Bu strode up to Liu Bei and others. "Good brother!" Liu Bei felt aggrieved, but he still pretended to thank the other party for not killing him, and said to Lu Bu: "General! Thank you so much, General, for protecting my little one." sensible! So sensible!

Even Lu Bu was reluctant to kill him. Liu Xuande's reputation for benevolence and righteousness was truly worthy of his reputation!

"Haha...brother Xian, what are you talking about?" As he said that, he saw that Xu Chu was not among the people coming. Lu Bu secretly sighed, it was a pity. If he could see Xu Chu's face at this moment, he would definitely feel more comfortable! "Hey? Hey! Why isn't your brother here?" Faced with Lu Bu's repeated provocations, Wei Yan couldn't help but said: "The third brother does not want to go to the city, so he took his sister-in-law to live in Xiaopei." When Wei Yan retorted, Lu Bu seemed a little embarrassed. No matter what, he had captured Xuzhou, "Mr. Xuande! It's not Lu Bu who wants to capture Xuzhou..." "Hey? Where?" "It's just because my brother is drunk and killing people here. I'm afraid of delaying the important event, so I come to guard it. Today, my good brother returns, and I should return it." "Where? Where? I have been planning to give Xuzhou to my brother for a long time, and this is the right time!" "Ah! It's you who come." "No! Living in Xiaopei is enough!" "Hey! Then...well! Haha...forget it, I will go on state affairs for you for the time being. Please!" The two passed the blame to each other, but in the end Lu Bu stopped being polite and captured Xuzhou. After Lu Bu finished speaking, he walked towards the lobby. Liu Bei looked at Lu Bu's back expressionlessly... Liu Bei lost Xuzhou. Did he really lose? Not really. It's easy to get Xuzhou, but how difficult is it to stay secure?

Not to mention that there is another behemoth in the north, but Cao Cao in the west and Yuan Shu in the south, which one is not eyeing Xuzhou with covetous eyes?

There is a huge difference in strength between myself and them, how can I be my opponent?

Since Xuzhou is expected to be lost sooner or later, it is better to send the reckless Xu Chu to guard Xuzhou. If Xuzhou is lost now, it will only be lost to Lu Bu in Peixia County, not far from Xuzhou City. It is worse than losing it to Cao Cao, Yuan Shu, or even Liu Han. many. Lu Bu is greedy, so Liu Bei might as well take advantage of the situation and let him stay in Xuzhou. He will definitely not be lonely and will rebel once he finds an opportunity. If Lu Bu was not temporarily promised the great benefit of Xuzhou, Lu Bu would not wholeheartedly protect Xuzhou. Since Chen Gong saw his clear intention of letting Lu Bu take over Xuzhou, it would be better to let Lu Bu take it by himself. Liu Bei knew that the biggest problem now was not to let Xuzhou fall into the hands of other princes. Lu Bu was only temporarily keeping Xuzhou. If he wanted to take Xuzhou back in the future, it would be much easier to deal with Lu Bu than to deal with other princes. Just imagine, if Cao Cao leads an army to attack Xuzhou in the future, whose army will bear the brunt must be Lu Bu. Avoid its sharp edges and wait for the opportunity to move. When Xu Chu lost the city, Liu Bei not only did not blame him, but also reiterated the brotherhood, making Xu Chu and the thousands of people who were hostile to him die-hard.

In this battle, Liu Bei led his army in a circle outside and lost a lot of soldiers. He asked Lu Bu to defend Xuzhou and Xu Chu to surrender and preserve his strength. #

While Ji Ling was attacking Xuzhou, Sun Ce also led Sun's old troops to attack Lujiang under Yuan Shu's order. This was the first time he showed his face on stage at the end of Han Dynasty, and he took it very seriously. No one wanted to expose his butt for the first time. The Lu family is a common surname in Wuzhong and has a high reputation in the local area. After Lu Kang became the governor of Lujiang, he also cared about the local people. In the war-torn era at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the land of Lujiang under Lu Kang's jurisdiction was like a human being. Heaven. When those soldiers who were idle at home heard the news that Sun Ce had led his troops to surround Lujiang, they rushed from their hometowns to Lujiang City, climbed up the rope in the middle of the night, and worked together to defend the city. The army has been besieging the city for a long time, but Lujiang City still remains unmoved. Sun Ce had no choice but to try to attack the city: "Kill!" "kill!……" Following the order, Sun's tribe attacked Shu County. Lujiang finally fell. After the city was broken, Lu Kang died of illness. Nearly half of the more than 100 Lu clan members in the city were wiped out, and they were almost wiped out by Sun Ce. But the price Sun paid was not small. Lujiang became Sun Ce's sunk cost and he was trapped in it. Sun Ce gained a chaotic Lujiang, and Sun lost a stable Danyang. Wu Jing and Sun Bi were forced to retreat to Liyang on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Liu Yao sent his subordinates Fan Neng and Yu Mi to station at Hengjiang, and Zhang Ying to station at Danglikou to guard the dangers of the Yangtze River. Yuan Shu's little plan became the biggest beneficiary. The Sun family was not only used as gunmen to attack Lujiang, but Wu Jing and others were also returned to their hands. Yuan Shu soon arranged for Hui Qu to be the governor of Yangzhou, and Wu Jing as the governor of the army. Together with Sun Bi, he led troops to attack Zhang Ying. The two sides faced off across the river for more than a year, with no progress or retreat. After the tragic victory in Lujiang, the Sun Army rushed to the aid of Wu Jing and Sun Bi, but they had no choice but to cross the natural dangers of the Yangtze River, so Yuan Shu gave Lujiang to his confidant Liu Xun. Your Sun family has been fighting hard for two years and has emptied the family fortune. Sun Ce has no choice but to fall out. They didn't move much, the army was recharging their strength. In this way, Sun Ce spent nearly two years in Lujiang, lost his own tribe, and his reputation was ruined in Jiangdong. In the end, he got a Lujiang that did not belong to him. While Yuan Shu successfully controlled the Sun family, he also expanded his territory. The only unlucky person was the Sun family. Not only did they work in vain, but they also incurred the hatred of many powerful nobles. When he was in Shouchun, he recalled what Zhang Hong had said to him two years ago: "I'm right about Jiangdu." He finally figured out what he meant. Zhang Hong asked him not to find Yuan Shu, but to go directly to Danyang to find Wu Jing. This was his intention! Sun Ce regretted that the time cost of these two years was wasted. Danyang was also lost, and the largest source of troops we could count on was lost!

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine. Sun Ce knelt in front of the sword in pain and took off his helmet and armor. Then, he touched the sword his father left for him. "What a hero my father was when he dominated the world, but today I am...me?" Thinking of this, I burst into tears. He raised his head and seemed to see his father looking at him with blood on his face. "Father! Father!" Sun Ce cried bitterly and wanted to rush towards his father, but his hand hit the sword blade and cut the back of his hand. "Why is my father looking at me like this? Are you blaming me? During the day, I was teased at the banquet. I couldn't draw a sword and fight. I just swallowed it." (End of this chapter)
