Chapter 7 Liu Bei’s three hopes

 Chen Gong couldn't think of his ancestor, and finally confirmed that what the other party told was a lie.

But Lu Bu could no longer care about this at this time. He was seriously considering what Zhou Xing said.

Although Liu Bei was defeated, if he really surrendered to Yuan Shu, he would definitely help Yuan Shu conquer Xuzhou. He had recently won Xuzhou, and the morale of the soldiers was not stable, and the hearts of the people were not yet settled, but Liu Bei had won the hearts of Xuzhou very well. In that case, I am afraid that he would really We can't defend Xuzhou.

"Why is Liu Xuande willing to give Xuzhou to me?" Lu Bu asked.

"General, Xuzhou no longer belongs to Liu Bei, how can we give in?" Chen Gong seemed to realize something. He suddenly stood up, drew his sword in his hand, and pointed at Zhou Xing, "This man is eloquent. Please kill this man quickly, general, and then send troops." Attack Liu Bei in Haixi and avoid future troubles forever."

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue also stood up and drew their swords, pointing at Zhou Xing.

"Gongtai, put away your sword, Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, sit down."

Lu Bu looked at the three of them with a solemn face, looking very unhappy.

Cheng Lian and Wei Yue had no choice but to put away their swords and sit down, but Chen Gong still stood upright behind the case, pointing his sword at Zhou Xing.

"Hahaha..."

Zhou Xing burst out laughing, making both Lu Bu and Jian Yong beside him stunned.

"Why are you laughing?" Lu Bu asked with a solemn face.

"I am General Liu's envoy and came to give the state to Xuzhou, but General Lu's subordinates want to kill me. Is there someone who doesn't want the general to get Xuzhou?"

"You..."

Chen Gong wanted to rush over and strike Zhou Xing with a sword, but when he saw Lu Bu's cold and chilling eyes, he had no choice but to give up and sheath the sword.

"General, this man is very eloquent. When he proposes to give up the state, he must have a request. No matter what he asks for, the general must not agree to it."

Zhou Xing secretly admired Chen Gong's wisdom and saw the essence of the problem.

After hearing what Chen Gong said, Jian Yong couldn't help but be a little worried. It didn't matter if he couldn't get food, but Liu Bei told him that he must take back Mrs. Gan and the families of the soldiers. He was now worried that Zhou Xing would mess up the problem if he continued to stimulate Chen Gong. He quickly said: "General Lu, General Liu only has one request..."

"No," Zhou Xing said loudly, interrupting Jian Yong in time, and smiled at Lu Bu, "General Liu has no request."

Lu Bu's face was full of confusion, while Jian Yong was so anxious that he wanted to knock Zhou Xing out immediately to prevent him from doing anything bad.

"General Liu has three hopes." Zhou Xing added.

Lu Bu felt a little relieved, knowing that since Liu Bei sent someone here, there was no way he had no demands.

Jian Yong was also a little relieved, and even felt that Zhou Xing's appetite was too big, and he might be able to stuff himself to death.

He couldn't understand, besides taking back the families of the soldiers and asking for food from Lu Bu, what else did Zhou Xing want?

Jian Yong couldn't guess it, and he didn't bother to guess it at this time. He was already sure that Zhou Wensheng was far wiser than him.

"Oh, tell me." Lu Bu also felt that Liu Bei's appetite was a bit big, and he actually made three requests at once.

Zhou Xing first picked up the wine glass, raised his head slightly and drank it. He put down the wine glass and looked around at everyone in the hall, including Zhang Liao and Gao Shun who had been silent. Then he saw Chen Gong, who was still glaring angrily, and finally turned his attention to Lu Bu.

.

"Before raising these three hopes, there is one thing I must tell General Lu."

Lu Bu said nothing and looked straight at Zhou Xing, waiting for him to continue.

"The people of Xuzhou, including all of you here, know that General Liu Xuande is benevolent and righteous and loves the people. It is precisely because of General Liu's benevolence and righteousness that he allowed you to live in Xuzhou in the first place."

When Zhou Xing said this, Cheng Lian and Wei Yue clenched the hilt of their swords, ready to move, but when they saw Lu Bu didn't react, they had no choice but to hold back.

"Forget about the past, you may not know that General Liu Xuande was the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan and a descendant of the Liu family. Dong Zhuo caused trouble in the palace, killed King Hongnong, and forced the emperor and the people of Luoyang to move to Chang'an.

."

"Of course, General Lu was a general under Dong Zhuo at that time, and he had to do some things as a last resort. However, General Lu could not bear his evil and killed Dong Zhuo. This was a righteous move and was often praised by General Liu."

"Now there are no bandits in Xuzhou and the people are quite safe. However, in Qingzhou in the north, the Yellow Turban pirates are raging and the people are in dire straits. When General Liu heard this, he was always sad and shed tears. Therefore, General Liu wanted to leave Xuzhou and go to Qingzhou to help

Kong Wenju annihilated the Yellow Turban pirates."

"General Liu is preparing to go to Donglai County, Qingzhou. Not only are the Yellow Turbans rampant there, but pirates are also very rampant. There is also the danger of Liaodong. The people have abandoned their fields and left their homes, leaving no one alive. General Liu is really unbearable and vows to wipe out the bandits.



"General Lu," Zhou Xing looked at Lu Bu and said, "what I just said, that General Liu wants to give up Xuzhou, is really a sincere move and not a lie."

Lu Bu listened to Zhou Xing talk endlessly, but never got to the point. Finally he couldn't help but ask: "What hope does my brother Xuande have?"

He believed what Zhou Xing said, so he called Liu Bei my brother.

According to Lu Bu's understanding of Liu Bei, he was indeed a benevolent and righteous person, otherwise he would not have allowed him to live in Xuzhou in the first place, and the people of Xuzhou praised him endlessly.

And what Zhou Xing said now is that the land of Qingzhou is indeed rampant with Yellow Turban pirates and the people's livelihood is difficult. With Liu Bei's personality, he really wants to suppress the thieves and calm the people.

At this time, Jian Yong was looking at Zhou Xing with disbelief. He couldn't believe that this was the man who had just come to Liu Bei, as if he had been with Liu Bei for many years.

"General Liu is going to Qingzhou, so he is willing to give up Xuzhou, but he will pay the due reward. Of course, General Lu does not have to agree. This is just General Liu's hope. However, if these three hopes are not met, Liu

I’m afraid the general won’t be able to leave either.”

"Zhou Wensheng, tell me quickly, what hope does Xuande have?"

Lu Bu now really hopes that Liu Bei will leave Xuzhou and go to Qingzhou. In this case, Xuzhou will truly be his and have no worries.

Not only Lu Bu was a little anxious, but Chen Gong, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others were also listening carefully at this moment, wondering what excessive demands Liu Bei would make.

Especially Chen Gong, when he heard Zhou Xing say that he had three hopes, he felt secretly proud. In his opinion, the so-called hopes raised by Liu Bei were definitely not that simple.

At that time, we can take this opportunity to persuade Lu Bu to kill the envoy, and then lead his troops to attack Liu Bei. Only in this way can Xuzhou be stable.

"General Lu, when General Liu led his troops to resist Yuan Shu in Huaiyin, the general's wife and the families of the soldiers stayed in Xiapi. Therefore, General Liu's first hope was that General Lu would return Mrs. Gan and the families of the soldiers.

Only in this way will the soldiers be willing to leave with General Liu. If the soldiers are unwilling to leave, General Liu will naturally not leave."

"Don't worry, Xuande, Budi, I have sent someone to protect Mrs. Xuande. Even if Xuande doesn't mention this matter, I will send someone to return her and the families of the soldiers and soldiers. What else can I do about this matter?"

Lu Bu felt that Liu Bei's request was reasonable and not excessive at all. Since he was leaving Xuzhou, of course his family had to go with him.

"General Xie Lu."

Zhou Xing thanked Lu Bu, and then said: "General Lu, you also know that we left Xiapi suddenly that day without preparing any food. We were very short of food when we arrived in Haixi, and the road to Donglai, Qingzhou is long. If there is no food,

, it will be difficult to leave. Therefore, General Liu’s second hope is that General Lu can give us 10,000 shi of food, so that we can leave as soon as possible, and even if we arrive in Qingzhou, we can be safe."

"Hahaha..." Chen Gong laughed suddenly, pressed his hand on the hilt of his sword, glared at Zhou Xing, and said, "Liu Bei's third hope is that he wants us to give him 10,000 troops to go to Qingzhou to suppress the bandits?"<
