Cao Cao set his base in Xu County, Yuzhou. For a time, Cao Cao's camp was filled with prosperity.
To the east of Yuzhou, in the land of Xuzhou, Lu Bu's subordinates also wanted to create such a prosperous scene, but because their lord was greedy for wine and sex, they failed to accomplish anything.
Liu Bei had hidden evil intentions to harm Lu Bu. He kept firing sugar-coated bullets.
However, Lu Bu, who was the most brave man in the world and the best in the world in terms of force, the good horse and the good girl that Guan Yu envied, just lacked some self-discipline.
Liu Bei had ulterior motives, so he offered the fine wine and jade from the Mi family in the East China Sea, and Lu Bu accepted them all. He was so addicted to them that he couldn't help himself.
Every day, Lu Fengxian only drank drunkenly and ignored political affairs. Zhang Liao and Gao Shun met on important military matters, so where could they be seen?
Tap wine enhances lust and courage, and there is obviously the most beautiful woman in the world by his side, but it is rare to get close to her beauty (even if she gets close, it is Diao Chan's way of bewitching her). This makes Lu Bu, who has been drunk for a long time, increasingly restless and uneasy.
Diao Chan is so smart, she noticed Fengxian's demeanor, she is the most beautiful woman in the world, and the art of self-preservation is also the best in the world, so she secretly took precautions.
On this day, it was Hao Meng, who had been neglected by Lu Bu, who led his troops to guard Lu Bu's mansion.
Since the Puyang incident, Hao Meng, who originally had the power of field command, was reduced to the city gate leader with first-rate security.
He was depressed, and while drinking, he happened to meet Jian Yong, a counselor under Liu Bei who went to Xiapi to discuss matters.
When Jian Yong saw Hao Meng, he looked at him like a heavenly being. He opened his mouth and shut up, and the three General Hao made Hao Meng, who was at a low point in his life, feel like a confidant.
Jian Yong not only looked up to Hao Meng, but also raised him.
Xiapi City was prosperous and there were many places for entertainment. Among them, the gambling house was where Lu Bu's subordinates Wei Xu and Song Xian made money.
Hao Meng and him had similar personalities back then. The three of them had done countless sinister and harmful things together from Bingzhou to Chang'an.
Hao Meng was not liked by Lu Bu. In a few months, he might not even be able to guard the city gate. How could Wei Xu or Song Xian recognize this former colleague?
Hao Meng owed money to the two of them in the gambling house, and there was no way he could pay back any salary from the Bingzhou Army.
The city gate captain is very different from the favored general under the lord's command.
Wei Xu, when Song Xian's soldiers wanted to pay the bill, they almost took Hao Meng's horses and armor to pay the bill. The two of them even threatened that they couldn't get the money to speak in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Fengxian drank drunkenly every day. When he looked at people, his eyes were straight, with a sense of venting.
If Hao Meng was dragged in front of Lu Bu, he would probably be whipped and half of his life would be left.
After thousands of miles of exile, Hao Meng came to Xuzhou with no relatives and no one to ask for help. She had the desire to run away. If it weren't for a few glances at Diao Chan from a distance, this person with a cute name would be very unlucky.
General, you've already left.
On this day, Hao Meng, who was about to go on duty, was blocked in front of his house by Wei Xu, Song Xian's personal soldier. He took out the last few copper coins and helped several people leave.
In front of the front door of his home, Hao Meng, who was extremely frustrated, was about to go on duty when he saw a cheerful Jian Yong coming from a distance with a few attendants. Old Jian was also holding a food box in his hand.
"General Hao, I'm on official business in Xiapi. I'll take care of it tomorrow. I'm going back to Xiaopei. I'm afraid I won't be able to see the general in the future. Today, I specially brought wine and meat to drink and eat with the general!"
Jian Yong saw Hao Meng looking unhappy from a distance, and his tone was full of affection.
Hao Meng, who was at the bottom of his life, almost shed tears when he heard this infectious voice. In a daze, he was held by Jian Yong's hand and returned to his mansion.
Jian Yong personally arranged the cups and plates and poured the wine. Before the meat was cut, Hao Meng was half-empty in front of him.
Bingzhou men usually don't drink well, so when their mood is so bad, they get drunk in an instant.
"Diao Chan, Diao Chan, you are as beautiful as the Moon Palace Immortal, why do you never take another look at me?"
"Fengxian, Lu Fengxian, I have served you for half my life, but why do you end up here in poverty?"
Hao Meng was drunk and composed lines that were like lyrics. A dark look flashed across Jian Yong's eyes. He wanted to make friends. Isn't this the day he was waiting for?
"General Hao? Speak softly, Diao Chan, is that General Lu's concubine?"
"What's wrong, General? Don't you always love and respect you?"
"Love is so heavy, Lu Bu is a common man. With Song Xian and Wei Xu enshrined, how can I still be in your eyes? Don't talk about me? It's just Zhang Wenyuan and Gao Shun. They can only train soldiers. Sooner or later, they will be punished by Old Wei and Old Song."
!”
"We can't stay here in Xuzhou. Diao Chan, you still love me? Xianhe, let me tell you, Diao Chan, the beauty, is usually not seen by Lu Bu. With Madam Yan watching, she can't even touch her with her hands!"
When Hao Meng was drunk, he talked about all the secrets of Lu Bu's mansion and related to beauties, which rarely made the dark and mature Jian Yong very interested.
"No way, I heard people say that the general and the beautiful woman are the perfect match in the world when they are in love with each other!"
"Love? Haha, how can a woman as beautiful as Diao Chan be enjoyed by Lu Bu? Hum, I think Diao Chan's figure is as good as that of a virgin. Lu Bu is a fool and has probably been deceived!"
"I, I am the man chosen by Diao Chan to come here on the colorful auspicious clouds!"
"As long as there is a place to live and settle down in the world, I dare to rob Diao Chan and defect to the Ming Lord. Woohoo! Do you want to force people to death for dozens of dollars?"
Hao Meng just said the cruel words and couldn't help but started to cry drunkenly.
Jian Yong raised the corners of his mouth slightly, took out two gold ingots from his arms, and threw them on the wine table.
"General Hao, isn't it just some money? The general is brave and brave, how can these small amounts of money compare!"
"My lord Xuande, the most important thing is a heroic person. General Hao will use this money to pay off the debt. Just be Xuande Gong and make friends!"
"You? Are you representing Liu Xuande, and Xuande said that I am a hero?"
After listening to Jian Yong's words, a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly oozed out from behind Hao Meng, who knew the identity of the man in front of him.
He knew that for him, the most critical moment in his life had arrived.
He used to think that Jian Yong was just thinking about himself and revealed some military information about Xiapi, but he didn't take it seriously. In the Bingzhou lineage, the emphasis is on taking advantage and not taking advantage of the bastard.
Only now do we know that Liu Bei’s plans are very big.
"Of course, my lord, General Hao is also a hero!"
Jian Yong smiled slightly and saw a flash of golden light in front of him. The gold had been stuffed into Hao Meng's arms.
The two wanted to say something more, but the impatient voice of a military academy came from outside the mansion.
"It's time for inspection, why doesn't General Hao Meng go? My lord is going to be angry!"
