The three of them had just walked a long way, and Zhang Fei suddenly pointed ahead and shouted, "Look, it seems that there is a fire in front!"

Liu Bei and Jiang Huan looked in the direction he pointed, and sure enough, they saw thick smoke rolling in the distance.

Liu Bei suddenly changed color: "Oh no, that's the residence of the two gentlemen. It seems that as I expected, please put out the fire!"

The three of them quickly called a group of patrol soldiers in the city, each carrying a bucket and rushed over.

Fortunately, the fire seemed to have not been around for a long time, and the fire was not big. After all the efforts, everyone quickly controlled the fire. Liu Bei was very worried about the safety of Shen Pei and Tian Feng, so he hurried in, but saw a scene that shocked him.

I saw a group of old, weak, women and children kneeling on the ground, but despite such a sudden disaster, none of these people called for help or cried. Shen Pei and Tian Feng were holding swords and making gestures to cut them down.

Liu Bei was shocked and hurriedly shouted: "Two men are merciful!"

The two were shocked by his shouting, and looked up and looked angry.

Shen Pei shouted, "Who are you? Why did you trespass into my mansion? I guess you were the one who brought people to put out the fire just now? Be serious about meddling in other people's business, why don't you quit quickly!"

Zhang Fei, who was chasing after Liu Bei, was immediately angry when he heard this, pointed at Shen Pei and scolded him.

"You old man really doesn't understand reason. My elder brother put out the fire and saved your life. It's just that he doesn't thank you, but he's even rude. I see you, it's just a fight!"

Zhang Fei was murderous, but Shen Pei and Tian Feng were not afraid, but instead looked at him with disdain.

"Hmph, who wants you to wait and meddle in other people's business? This fire is something I'm waiting for myself. I don't need to pay attention to it. I'll leave quickly. You are not welcome here!"

A young man kneeling on the ground turned around and persuaded him hard: "Thank you for your kindness, but this matter is really for us and other family matters. If you don't worry about the heroes, please let the heroes take care of themselves."

Zhang Fei was completely confused now: "You kid, you are afraid that your mind was so scattered by the fire just now? Look at your appearance, it is a bit similar to this ignorant old man, I'm afraid it's his seed? Hey, your father wants to kill you, and he is killing your whole family. I'm here to rescue you, why are you so ignorant?"

At this time, several other young men also turned around and shouted, "I don't have to pay attention to the heroes, just retreat quickly."

"Hey, you guys..." Zhang Fei was confused and angry.

Seeing that they were reluctant to leave, Shen Pei was furious and shouted: "Get out!"

"Hey, you old guy..." Zhang Fei waved his iron fists and was about to rush forward.

"Yide, if you dare to do something nonsense, you can go back first!"

Liu Bei shouted angrily, causing the angry Zhang Fei to become timid in an instant.

He glared at Shen Pei and Tian Feng with great resentment: "I'll go and see how their fire is extinguished."

After saying that, he left in disappointment.

Liu Bei smiled warmly and bowed, "Let me, Liu Bei, Liu Xuande, this is my second brother Jiang Huan and Jiang Wude, I'm here to pay my respects to the two gentlemen."

When he heard his name, Shen Pei and Tian Feng, who were originally very angry and impatient, looked a little surprised.

Tian Feng looked at him: "Are you the former prefect of Shangdang Liu Bei?"

“It’s right down.”

The two of them quickly recovered and they looked at Liu Bei coldly.

"Before, Gongsun Zan was driven away by me, and you came again. Could it be that you still want me and Zhengnan to be the aides of Gongsun Zan? Humph, Tian advised you to die. Although I offered Zhongshan County to him, it was just because Mr. Yuan was too harsh on the people and could not bear to suffer the people. He did not like Gongsun Zan's talent. I betrayed my lord, unfaithful and unrighteous, so I should commit suicide. With all my integrity, I miss you Liu Xuande, who is quite benevolent and righteous. If you don't make things difficult for you today, please leave quickly."

Liu Bei did not answer him directly, but glanced at the two of them. What surprised him was that these people were kneeling on the ground without any pain, but instead calmly closed and waited for death, which made him feel respect.

"You two will know naturally..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Pei shouted, "What can you understand? Leave immediately!"

Liu Bei was not angry, but smiled and looked at Shen Pei: "Bei not only understands it, but also knows it very well. I know that the two of you offered Zhongshan County, not because Mr. Tian Feng said just now, and you did not betray Yuan Shao. On the contrary, this plan was to make a plan for Yuan Shao. For this lord, the two of you did not hesitate to give up your reputation and be willing to be a betrayal and unfaithful person, and to pay your lives and the whole family. Such a loyal person really impressed Bei."

As soon as he said this, the two of them immediately changed their expression.

"You...how did you know..." Shen Pei asked in a daze.

Liu Bei said: "However, Bei admires the two of you only because of your great righteousness. However, his views and the plan itself are really not satisfactory."

"What did you say?" Anger appeared on Shen Pei's face again.

Tian Feng suddenly sighed: "I heard for a long time that Liu Xuande is like the current general. He is kind and loving the people, and has both wisdom and courage. When the Duke expelled the troops from Shangdang for our Jizhou, Yuan Shao, and all the generals under the tent all thought that the Duke's reputation was not worthy of his reputation and was not worthy of laughter. It seems that they were very wrong."

Liu Bei was a little flattered and said, "What kind of virtue is Bei? How can he be so ridiculous?"

"However..." Tian Feng suddenly stared at Liu Bei's eyes: "Since Duke Xuande thought this matter was not feasible, he said that I and Brother Zhengnan were not in a good position, so I would ask Duke Xuande for advice."

Liu Bei bowed and bowed: "How dare you? I dare not show off my skills in the past. I dare not show off my skills in front of the two masters. It is just as the saying goes, "The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, so I have some simple views and I am about to talk to you."

Tian Feng looked at Shen Pei: "You and me are not in a hurry. Since this Duke Xuande can see through our plan, you might as well invite him into the house to talk."

Shen Pei thought for a while, then nodded: "Okay, it's better to have a chat with a confidant before dying than to get into the ground with resentment."

Tian Feng said to many families: "You get up first, Brother Zhengnan and I will come in and chat with this Xuande Gong first."

The families stood up, saluted Liu Bei and Jiang Huan, and then retreated.

Liu Bei said to Jiang Huan: "Second brother, wait outside."

"Yes, brother."

"Please!" Tian Feng made a gesture and took Liu Bei into the inner room.

After the three of them entered, the door was quickly closed.

Jiang Huan was guarding outside the gate, and from time to time, he could hear quarrels inside, vaguely, as if he was mostly angry, but he couldn't hear what they were saying.

But immediately afterwards, the room fell into a long silence and there was no sound. Jiang Huan thought something had happened and was about to push the door in, but the sound of three people talking appeared again inside. He then calmed down.

In the room, Tian Feng and Liu Bei sat down, Shen Pei stood in his position, and looked at his expression, obviously he was stunned.

After a moment, he came to his senses and sat down slowly.

"According to the words of Duke Xuande, is this plan between me and Yuan Hao not only useless, but also very harmful? This... Shen Pei is really unacceptable."

Tian Feng, who was bearded, said in a deep voice: "Duke Xuande's statement is indeed novel and not without reason. But if he hadn't acted like this, I'm afraid that the three armies of Liu He, Guan Yu and Xu Huang have captured half of our city in Jizhou. Since Duke Xuande has guessed it, I am not afraid of admitting it."

"I deliberately gave up Zhongshan County to borrow Gongsun Zan's troops to block Xu Huang's Baibo army. Although I don't understand when Xu Huang was bribed by Liu He, his Baibo army has 70,000 troops with extraordinary combat power. It is a dream to block him with the strength left by my Jizhou alone. Instead of abandoning the entire territory of Jizhou and the lives of our Lord's family, it is better to temporarily abandon Zhongshan and preserve its strength to make a comeback in the future. What Xuande Gong said is not unreasonable, but this plan is the only way for me to think of. Apart from that, I am no longer able to plan for the Lord."
