The first year of Jian'an, 196 AD.

Liu Bei rejected Yuan Shu in Huaiyin, and Lu Bu took the opportunity to attack and capture Xiapi. Later, Liu Bei and Yuan Shu fought for Guangling, and were defeated. In the end, he only led more than a thousand troops to Haixi County in Guangling County, where he was starving and trapped.

Fortunately, Mi Zhu, the richest man in Xuzhou, married his sister to Liu Bei and gave him a lot of money and food, so the soldiers and horses were able to survive and their morale gradually stabilized.

At this moment, in the Chinese army’s tent at Liu Bei’s camp.

Zhou Xing was wearing a long robe, with a turban on his head and his hair wrapped around his head. He was sitting on his knees behind the case, with a sword beside him and drinks on the table in front of him.

Sitting opposite him was Liu Bei, who had extremely big ears and long arms. Two other people stood on either side behind him with knives hanging on their waists.

One man has a long flowing beard, a face as red as a jujube, and a pair of phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, showing disdain.

The other man had a leopard head with ringed eyes, a face as black as coal, and wide-open eyes. He was glaring at Zhou Xing with angry eyes.

Zhou Xing doesn't care about the unfriendly eyes of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. He believes that it won't be long before they change their attitude towards him.

Looking at the three brothers in front of him, especially Liu Bei's calm and leisurely demeanor, Zhou Xing felt as if he was in a dream, which was very unreal.

However, all of this is true.

In front of him are indeed Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who are heroes, righteous, generous and caring for the people, Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, whose reputation for loyalty has been passed down through the ages and has been worshiped by people throughout the ages, and Zhang Fei and Zhang Yide, who are worthy of being the door gods to scare away all monsters and monsters.

Zhou Xing has always admired these three people.

But admiration is admiration. Now that I have traveled here, these three people are no longer deified, but just like me, real mortals with flesh and blood.

Now, the first thing I have to do is to gain their trust.

"How do you call me a step?"

Liu Bei looked at the other party carefully, and then asked after a long time.

"Zhou Xing, whose courtesy name is Wensheng, is from Xiaqiu, Xiapi." Zhou Xing bowed to Liu Bei again.

"You said you came to save me?" Liu Bei asked doubtfully.

"Exactly." Zhou Xing smiled slightly when he said it.

"You guys, my elder brother is fine, why do you need to save me? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will let you crawl out."

Zhang Fei cursed suddenly, his eyes widened and his face became darker, as if he wanted to rush over and give Zhou Xing a lesson.

Liu Bei looked slightly solemn, turned around and glared at Zhang Fei, and then said to Zhou Xing: "Don't be alarmed. My third brother has always been impatient, so don't blame me!"

Zhou Xing was not surprised, he knew Zhang Fei very well.

You can't blame the other party for this. If you want to blame it, blame yourself for arrogantly saying that he came to rescue Liu Bei. It's only strange that Zhang Fei is not angry.

However, if I hadn't said that, I probably wouldn't be able to sit opposite Liu Bei here. After all, I am too young, only twenty-one years old, not a member of a wealthy family, and not famous at all.

That's not right, "I" just did something that is enough to make the world famous, but no one knows about it.

More than ten days ago, the original owner of this body attempted to assassinate Cao Cao in Xu County, Yingchuan, but failed and died. Zhou Xing was able to travel through time and become possessed.

As for why he traveled through time, he couldn't explain.

After that, he rushed all the way from Yingchuan Xu County to Guangling Haixi, eager to meet Liu Bei, so he had no choice but to make this move. Fortunately, Liu Bei was kind and loving, and welcomed him into the camp and talked with him.

"You said you would save me, but I don't know what kind of danger I am in?" Liu Bei asked again, appearing very patient.

Zhou Xing looked straight at Liu Bei and asked: "The general abandoned Xiapi and Xuzhou was gained by Lu Bu. Now the general and his remaining soldiers are starving here. Isn't this a crisis?"

Liu Bei looked slightly embarrassed, then smiled and said: "Now that I have been sponsored by the Mi family, I have money and food. If I want to save me, it was Mi Zizhong who saved me!"

Zhang Fei wanted to get angry and curse, but then he thought that he had lost Xia Pi, so he couldn't help but lower his head.

Guan Yu's expression remained unchanged, but there was hint of dissatisfaction in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Xing. He is not a man of many words, and when he can take action, he will never talk nonsense.

Some people die from talking too much.

Zhou Xing asked again: "I wonder how long the food Mi Zizhong gave the general will be enough? What will happen after the food is eaten? In Haixi, except for the abundant sea water, which is inexhaustible, there is almost no shortage of everything. The general

Is there a long-term plan?"

"I have my own idea about this matter." Liu Bei said very confidently, but this kind of thing is not something that can be said casually to outsiders.

"Could the general want to seek peace with Lu Bu and return to Xiaopei?" Zhou Xing asked with a smile.

Liu Bei's expression suddenly changed, and he was secretly shocked. He suddenly felt that the other person's eyes seemed to be able to see through his own heart.

The idea that just came up yesterday and I haven’t mentioned it to anyone yet, why can the young man in front of me guess it!

Liu Bei did not dare to look down on the other party because of his youth, and asked seriously: "Who is this step?"

"Zhou Xing, courtesy name Wensheng, a native of Xuzhou, is also the one who came to rescue the general from danger!"

Zhou Xing introduces himself again.

"How do you know that I want to make peace with Lu Bu and return to Xiaopei?"

Liu Bei's words made Guan Yu slightly shocked. The elder brother said this, indicating that the other party guessed correctly.

"Because the general has the ambition to save the people of the world, quell chaos and stabilize the country, and help the Han Dynasty!" Zhou Xing replied.

Liu Bei looked soothed but remained silent, obviously agreeing with what the other party said.

At this time, the looks from Guan Yu and Zhang Fei became much calmer.

Zhou Xing continued: "Now all the states in the world have their own masters. Yuan Shao is in Jizhou, Gongsun Zan is in Youzhou, Kong Rong is in Qingzhou, Cao Cao is in Yanzhou, Liu Biao is in Jingzhou, Yuan Shu is in Yangzhou, Lu Bu is in Xuzhou, and Sili is in Guanzhong.

Then the rebels gathered together, and in the Central Plains only Yuzhou was left without an owner."

"Although Yuzhou is the place of the Four Wars, with Cao Cao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, and now Lu Bu in the east, there is no danger to defend. But the general is benevolent and righteous and loves the people, and Yuzhou has a lot of people and rich resources. If it wins the hearts of the people, it will be a great success.

, then we can take back Xuzhou first, then fight for the Central Plains, and compete in the world... Is this what the general thinks?"

Liu Bei looked at Zhou Xing with disbelief. He didn't expect that he could be so knowledgeable at such a young age, see the general trend of the world so clearly, and even see through his own mind.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Indeed, that's what he thought.

If you want to compete in the world, you must occupy a state in the Central Plains to have the strength to compete with others.

You can’t go to a barbaric land like Jiaozhou and Liangzhou to develop!

In that kind of remote and distant place, with a sparse population and inconvenient transportation, it is okay to be a local emperor, but it is impossible to compete in the world.

Now Xuzhou is lost, and all the states in the Central Plains have owners, leaving only Yuzhou, a useless and regrettable place that no one wants.

Even if the two counties of Runan and Yingchuan are covered by the forces of Yuan Shu and Cao Cao, there are still four counties in Yuzhou: Pei, Lu, Liang and Chen, and Xiaopei is very close to Pengcheng. He is benevolent to Xuzhou and can recruit troops.

Easier.

The most important thing is that he will retain his official position as the governor of Yuzhou. With an official title, it will be more convenient to do things.

As long as you establish a firm foothold in Yuzhou, recruit troops and horses, and become stronger, and then recapture Xuzhou, you will have the foundation to compete in the world.

Liu Bei looked at Zhou Xing carefully again, nodded slightly, but said nothing, guessing the other party's true intention.

"The general originally captured Xuzhou, but Lu Bu was defeated by Cao Cao in Yanzhou and came to surrender in embarrassment. The general kindly took him in, but Lu Bu betrayed his kindness and took advantage of the dispute between the general and Yuan Shu to sneak attack and capture Xuzhou. Such an unkind and unjust act.

Disciple, is the general willing to negotiate peace with him?" Seeing that Liu Bei didn't speak, Zhou Xing asked again.

When talking about Lu Bu's traitorous attack on Xuzhou, Liu Bei clenched his fists tightly and showed anger.

Zhang Fei behind him was even more furious and cursed directly: "Lü Bu, that slave with the third surname, one day, I will definitely chop off his head myself!"

Guan Yu glanced at Zhang Fei and shook his head secretly.

"General Lu has the merit of killing Dong to protect the country, and he is a man of great righteousness. He won Xuzhou, which is also a blessing to the people of Xuzhou. How can I not be reconciled!"

Liu Bei loosened his fist and his expression softened.

Zhou Xing understood that Liu Bei did not understand and trust him, so he did not speak his mind.

Also, I arrived suddenly and my identity is unknown. Maybe I am from Yuan Shu or Lu Bu. How can I make the other party trust me and reveal my true feelings!

"The general didn't mean what he said. He obviously doesn't trust me!"

Zhou Xing smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head and drank it. After putting down the glass, he continued: "You might as well tell the general that my family has both parents, an older sister and a younger brother. We also have 500 acres of fertile land and

With more than a dozen fruit trees, I lived a relatively prosperous life. When I was fifteen years old, my father sent me to Huaiyin to study with an old prefect who had returned home."

"Three years ago, that is, in the fourth year of Chuping, when I was eighteen years old, Cao Cao led his troops to attack Xuzhou and brutally massacred hundreds of thousands of people in Choli, Xiaqiu, Suiling and other counties. The general knew about this.

My parents, sister and brother were all brutally massacred. Only I, who was in Huaiyin at the time, could survive the tragedy! After hearing the bad news, I returned to my hometown to bury my family, but I looked at the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood and searched for three days.

Only then did we find the bodies of our family members and bury them!"

Although what Zhou Xing was talking about was about the original owner of the body, the scene of searching for the corpses of his family members in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood was reappearing in his mind. He gritted his teeth, his eyes widened with anger, his face was gloomy, and then tears filled his eyes.

The three people opposite Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also had angry faces at this time, filled with grief and anger.

Zhou Xing wiped the tears on his face and continued: "At that time, I only had anger in my heart and wanted to avenge my family, but I knew that I could not kill Cao Cao on my own. At that time, I happened to meet a ranger.

I begged shamelessly, and finally the ranger agreed to teach me martial arts and take me around the world. For three years, I thought about killing Cao Cao every day and night to avenge my family!"

In fact, the original owner of the body went to seek revenge on Cao Cao.

Hearing that Cao Cao stationed troops in Xu County after defeating the Yellow Turbans in Runan and Yingchuan, he resolutely went there alone to assassinate Cao Cao, but he underestimated Cao Cao's defense capabilities.

After killing more than a dozen soldiers, he met Le Jin. The two were tied and it was difficult to tell the winner.

But soon the other party came to help, and it was the extremely brave Dian Wei.

After the fight, he knew he couldn't defeat Dian Wei, so he wandered into the river in the dark, but drowned because he couldn't swim. Zhou Xing immediately traveled through the possessed body and fled Xu County.

"Recently, I suddenly heard that Lu Bu attacked Xiapi, and the general led his troops to Haixi. The general once rescued Xuzhou, resisted Cao Cao, and governed the people with kindness and kindness, and was kind to the people of Xuzhou. However, Lu Bu was unkind and indulging his subordinates.

They plundered the people and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Therefore, when Zhou Xing came here today, he actually came to surrender to the general. He is willing to help the general to calm the world and kill the rebellious officials and traitors such as Cao Cao and Lu Bu!"

Zhou Xing spoke very sincerely, but he did not dare to say that "he" had assassinated Cao Cao, for fear that Liu Bei would have scruples.

If Cao Cao knew about it, he would think that he was an assassin sent by Liu Bei, which would tarnish his reputation, because assassination is not the behavior of a gentleman.

Liu Bei said bitterly: "Cao Cao is cruel and ruthless and kills people indiscriminately. Lu Bu is only interested in profit and abandons kindness. I wish I could kill these two! But now I have few soldiers and food, so I want to make peace with Lu Bu for the time being and return to Xiaopei.

, when I have more soldiers and food, I will kill Lu Bu first, and then Cao Cao!"

Zhou Xing's words were so sincere that Liu Bei believed him and finally spoke out what was in his heart.
