Chapter 163 What kind of bad thoughts can Immortal Lu have?
After Xu Gong was defeated by Sun Ce, he defected to Yan Baihu, the bandit leader who was separatist in Wucheng, Wu County.
However, Yan Baihu was also defeated by Sun Ce soon after, and the two fellow refugees defected to Xu Zhao in Yuhang. Xu Zhao was once a subordinate of Xu Gong, so he accepted them both.
Although Xu Gong lost power, he still tried every means to find an opportunity to recapture Wu County. He even wrote a secret letter to Cao Cao, trying to propose that Sun Ce should be summoned to Beijing by imperial order.
However, what Xu Gong didn't expect was that his secret message was intercepted by Sun Ce. Sun Ce was so angry that he ordered his warriors to hang him.
Xu Gong attracted many disciples during his lifetime. After his death, three people still remembered their old master and plotted to avenge Xu Gong.
After Zhao Xue sent a message to the Zhuge family for Lu Yan, before she could return to Chenliu, she received another order from Guo Jia.
Guo Jia ordered her to leave for Jiangdong and secretly contact the remaining members of the aristocratic family who wanted to deal with Sun Ce, in order to involve Sun Ce's energy.
After many contacts and inquiries, Zhao Xue accidentally got the news that Xu Gong's disciples intended to avenge their old master, so she successfully found these three disciples under various clues.
Things like doing things secretly cannot be said openly. Zhao Xue reported her identity just to win the trust of the three people. There is no basis for saying so. As long as there is no definite evidence, even if the identities of herself and others are revealed,
Sun Ce could not damage the reputation of Cao Cao and Lu Yan.
In order to show his sincerity, Zhao Xue revealed some information about Sun Ce that he had to these three people.
The eldest among Xu Gong's disciples finally chose to believe Zhao Xue and asked: "Sun Ce is surrounded by many soldiers to protect him, and he himself is also very skilled in martial arts... Although the three of us are eager to eat his flesh, there is only one chance to take action.
once......"
What the boss said is true. No matter whether it succeeds or not, there is only one chance to attack Sun Ce, because there is a high probability that the three of them will die after taking action.
Zhao Xue nodded and said: "Don't worry, we still have time and can wait for a perfect opportunity!"
The boss nodded and asked again: "How can I contact you then?"
"We will notify you when the opportunity arises. The wind is relatively tight during this period, so you'd better go south to avoid the wind."
"Okay, we three brothers will wait for your news and say goodbye!"
"Take care of yourself."
Zhao Xue watched Xu Gong and the others leave quietly. At this time, Ding San stepped forward and asked, "Boss, are these three people reliable?"
The backs of Xu Gong and the others had disappeared. Zhao Xue was still looking forward, and replied with a slightly hollow look in his eyes: "It doesn't matter whether it is reliable or not, our purpose is just to involve Sun Ce and create all kinds of trouble for him."
In fact, Ding San also wanted to ask: "What if they reveal our identity?"
But then I thought about it, as long as the person is not caught, there is no evidence even if the identity is exposed; if he is accidentally caught, then the pill that has been hidden in the dentures will come in handy...
After thinking about this, Ding San silently stepped back, leaving the time and space to think alone to this wise and cold captain.
...
Let us say that after Liu Bei and others entered Xuchang City,
Seeing the endless flow of people and motorcades in Xuchang City; looking at the tall and solemn hospital; and looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the people, Liu Bei finally understood why Cao Cao was so strong.
"I actually feel like I'm in a peaceful and prosperous age..." Jian Yong couldn't help but sigh. His words made Sun Qian, Mi Zhu and others around him deeply agree.
The three Liu Bei brothers were a little silent.
Especially Guan Yu, when he looked at the bustling street scene around him and the children playing on the street, the white figure suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but have a question in his heart: "How can such peace come about?" It’s not easy, is it really necessary to break it?”
While everyone was harboring their own different feelings and thoughts, the three Liu Bei brothers, as well as Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Jian Yong and others, finally arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As for Liu Bei's last six or seven thousand soldiers, under Cao Ren's arrangement, they were stationed in the military camp in Xuchang City.
There were still forty or fifty steps away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, when suddenly a loud and rough voice came: "Brother Xuande! Cao waited for you until the flowers withered!"
Liu Bei took a closer look and saw that it was Cao Cao leading several people to wait at the door!
Cao Cao was the prime minister of the dynasty, but he was able to put down his posture and come to the gate to wait for him in person. If Liu Bei said he was not impressed, he must be lying.
Liu Bei sped up his walking speed, took three steps at a time and arrived at the steps of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He bowed deeply to Cao Cao and said, "Liu Bei, the guilty general, has met the Prime Minister!"
"Crime?" Cao Cao asked doubtfully, "What crime did Xuande commit?"
Before Cao Cao finished speaking, he had already walked down the steps and helped Liu Bei up.
After Liu Bei straightened up, he showed a wry smile and said: "The false emperor Yuan Shu escaped in our hands... Fortunately, General Lu intercepted Yuan Shu and sent him to the court, otherwise we would have committed a great crime!"
When Cao Cao heard this, he laughed and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, as long as the final result is good."
After laughing, Cao Cao took Liu Bei's hand and led him into the prime minister's house.
It was relatively quiet outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, but after entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, the atmosphere inside instantly became lively!
Different from the banquet in the hall with one person and one table in this era,
For this banquet, Cao Cao specially arranged a large table that was commonly used when eating hot pot in Lu Yan's house. For this purpose, a team was specially selected from the workshop to rush to make more than a dozen matching tables and chairs overnight.
The sumptuous food and wine made Zhang Fei's big eyes almost fall into the dishes; even the extremely restrained Sun Qian and Mi Zhu couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation for such a banquet.
"Brother Xuande, come and introduce me." Cao Cao pulled Liu Bei to the main table and introduced him: "This is Mr. Taichang Yang, a great scholar today; this is Xun Yu and Xun Wenruo, the ministers; It’s the military advisor who sacrifices wine and plays the role of loyalty and talent..."
Yang Biao! Xun Yu! Xi Zhong...etc.!
Every time he read a name, Liu Bei's heart felt like he was hit hard by a firing pin!
Without it, these people would already be famous all over the world, and Yang Biao is a great Confucian respected by scholars all over the world, and is currently the helmsman of Taiyuan University!
Just when Cao Cao was introducing the people at the main table to Liu Bei, Lu Yan and Guo Jia each carried a small jar of wine and sneakily came to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were standing aside and staring closely at Liu Bei at the main table.
"You two, come sit here with me!"
When they heard someone talking to them, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei withdrew their eyes and looked to their side.
When Guan Yu and Zhang Fei saw that it was Lu Yan leading a follower who was talking to him, they were so surprised that they almost screamed.
"Shh!" Lu Yan saw Zhang Fei opening his mouth and was about to howl, so he quickly made a silence gesture.
Guan Yu reacted very quickly. When Lu Yan just made the gesture, he covered Zhang Fei's mouth and blocked the sound coming from his mouth...
"Good guy..."
After Lu Yan sighed with emotion, he looked at Zhang Fei, who was blushing even more than Guan Yu, and said, "We won't go to the main table, because drinking there won't be a pleasant experience..."
After finishing speaking, Lu Yan pointed to the empty table in the corner and said:
"This is the seat I specially reserved, and I even brought good wine! Come, let's have a good drink together tonight!"
