Mi Fang naturally did not have such a talented foresight as his brother Mi Zhu's desperate investment in Liu Bei, so he naturally opposed it.

Especially when he learned that he wanted to marry Liu Bei as his wife, Mi Fang firmly disagreed.

"Brother, now that Liu Bei has lost the entire Xuzhou area, how can he have room for a turnaround?"

"Now, I'm going to lose all my money now?"

After a moment of words, Mi Fang held a solemn expression on her face.

"My brother, please believe in my brother's eyesight. My brother not only has great ambitions, but also has always been tenacious and resilient, not to mention that he also has a kind heart of kindness and righteousness."

"This is the most valuable advantage for the princes today."

"He will definitely not be able to recover from this defeat!"

After saying this, Mi Zhu also explained and analyzed all this to his brother with great resoluteness.

But obviously, Mi Fang was still depressed.

But Mi Zhu's persistence also made him unable to do anything good.

In the end, I had to keep my own opinions and reluctantly agree.

...

Therefore, with Mi Zhu's unremitting investment, Liu Bei, who was originally trapped in Haixi and was poor and in danger of overturning at any time, gradually recovered from his despair.

With money and food, you will naturally have the capital to gain a foothold in troubled times.

After several days of enlistment, Liu Bei's army quickly gathered up a military force of about 5,000.

But this is not the limit of recruitment.

It was only because after Lu Bu heard the news, he deliberately sent people to block and prohibit the population movement between counties and counties.

It has just led to the recruitment of only about 5,000.

And the recovery of strength naturally made Lu Bu dare not underestimate it!

...

Xuzhou capital.

Xia Pi City.

During the mansion, Lu Bu was worried and worried about how to start the matter of Liu Bei who was guarding Haixi.

"Public Terminal, two days ago, Yuan Shu sent someone to urge him, and ordered the marquis to quickly send troops to wipe out Liu Bei's forces in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles."

"You said, how do you choose this marquis?"

This is the end.

Lu Bu naturally threw this problem to Chen Gong.

Hearing this, Chen Gong's face remained silent. After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "Mr. Wen, this choice is actually very simple. You just need to think about it."

"If our army followed Yuan Shu's advice and wiped out Liu Bei in one fell swoop to eliminate future troubles, then will our army get any benefits?"

"And if our army keeps Liu Bei, what benefits can we get?"

As soon as these words fell, Lu Bu's expression was shocked, and then he looked serious and began to think closely.

After about a while, Lu Bu showed a look of doubt on his face and said, "What does the public office mean?"

Looking at his expression, Chen Gong had been with him for so long, so he naturally knew that Lu Bu had not understood the profound meaning. He pondered for a while and couldn't help but explain solemnly:

"Wen Hou, Xuzhou has always been in the four battles, and the surrounding terrain is still flat, making it difficult to defend and attack. How difficult is it to gain a foothold in this land where the heroes are competing for the sake of our army alone?"

"What's more, Yanzhou is still entrenched in the life of Wen Hou."

When the words came to this point, Chen Gong paused for a moment, his face seemed to be covered with an extremely solemn expression, and then said:

"Although Wen Hou has reached an agreement with Yuan Shu, the two parties will marry each other and consolidate the alliance by marriage, so that the defense in the south of Xuzhou will not have to be so crowded with heavy troops."

"But Xiaopei's side is directly connected to Cao Cao in Yanzhou. With this person's ambition, he will inevitably attack Xuzhou again when he makes a move."

"Wen Hou did not follow Liu Bei's example and summoned Liu Bei to lead his troops to Xiaopei to station in order to make his plan to guard the western part of Xuzhou!"

After a few words.

Chen Gong slowly explained the plan he had been thinking about.

Upon hearing this, Lu Bu thought quietly, and then suddenly smiled and said with a smile: "Haha... Gongtai, your strategy is indeed a wonderful strategy. If you can make Liu Bei enter Xiaopei, then the flanks of Xuzhou can relieve the pressure from our army from Cao's army!"

"But Xuzhou was taken away by this marquis, should he be willing to return to Xiaopei?"

Hearing the slightest suspicion that was revealed in Lu Bu's words, Chen Gong couldn't help but smile:

"Haha... Actually, there is no need to worry about Marquis Wen. Given Liu Bei's current situation, he is probably already thinking of reconciling with our army."

"After all, Haixi is a remote town in Donghai County. The city is small and sparsely populated. Even though he knew that Xiaopei was surrounded by strong enemies, he would still not hesitate."

"He has no choice if he wants to develop!"

As soon as these words ended, Chen Gong's expression was also extremely serious.

Obviously, he doesn't seem to be joking.

I was also very conscious of Liu Bei's state of mind...

Seeing Chen Gong's serious and calm analysis, Lu Bu naturally did not stick to his own opinion, so he agreed.

But he immediately asked: "But how should I reply to the messenger Yuan Shu?"

Looking at the caution that Lu Bu showed at this time, Chen Gong also suggested: "Mr. Wen, there is no need to explain too much, just say: Our army is still in a state of expansion, and we will be unable to send troops to attack Liu Bei for the time being."

"This statement is naturally not something that can be hidden from Yuan Shu's counselors. However, although the two families are now using marriage to consolidate the alliance, they are essentially just ally relationships, and Yuan Shu cannot interfere in the military and political affairs of our Xuzhou."

After the words came, Chen Gong's words made Lu Bu suddenly realize his mind.

Yes, I am just an alliance with the Yuan family.

Why should I follow Yuan Shu's instructions and follow his plan?

After a few words.

Since Lu Bu agreed to the strategy of summoning Liu Bei to Xiaopei, he naturally did not delay the matter.

He then immediately sent someone to Haixi to invite Liu Bei to Xiapi to discuss major events.

...

Haixi City.

As the envoy Lu returned to his feet, his future intentions were slowly conveyed.

Before Liu Bei could express his opinion, Zhang Fei, who was next to him, suddenly looked angry and scolded the envoy, shouting: "Hmph, what is that guy Lu Bu? He is planning to Xuzhou while my elder brother and his main force are fighting outside."

"What are the faces of such ungrateful people coming to join my elder brother now without regard for the kindness of taking in the grace of taking in the mercy?"

At this moment, Zhang Feiyan's forehead and tiger beard gave people a sense of fear on her face, and now she is angry, it is naturally even more shocking.

Sure enough, Lu Zhi was so scared that he was completely shattered when he looked at Zhang Fei's expression.

After saying that, Zhang Fei said repeatedly:

"Brother, how can such a despicable and shameless person like Lu Bu be worthy of forming an alliance with you?"

"I see, it's better to send troops back, seize Xuzhou, and kill that guy Lu Bu."

As soon as this statement comes out.

Liu Bei, who was next to him, immediately pretended to be anxious and scolded him sternly: "Three brother, retreat quickly. Now that the envoy is here, how can you let you be so arrogant here!"

"The clouds are long, so you can't let Yide go down and rest quickly."

After receiving Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu had to lead the reluctant Zhang Fei back in a depressed manner.

After the county yamen was left with only Liu Bei and Lu Envoy.

Liu Bei immediately bowed and apologized to him:

"Please don't worry too much. My brother has always been like this. He just said something angry. I hope he doesn't want to take it to heart and tell Mr. Wen!"

At this time, although Liu Bei was quite annoyed that Lu Bu was attacking Xuzhou, he was extremely calm and knew that his current situation would definitely not be a time to fight Lu Bu head-on.

He also showed his forbearance in his temperament.

Never hard steel when it is time to endure.

With Liu Bei's kind words of comfort, Lu Jun was just in a smooth mood and said slowly: "Since General Liu did not have his intentions, look at Xia Pi and his party?"

After saying that, Liu Bei immediately took over and said:

"I would also like to ask the envoy Lu to return to Xia Pi first and tell the Marquis Wen for details."

"After packing, I will immediately rush to Xia Pi for a visit."

"good!"

"It's rare that General Liu is talking quickly, so I'll say goodbye first."

As soon as the words fell, the messenger submitted his resignation first.
