Chapter 200 Liu Lu Bi Dou
Guan Yu stroked his beard and squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "I see Lu Bu's wandering eyes and his cowardly expression. He doesn't look like a good person. Brother, you should be careful and watch out for him."
When Zhang Fei heard this, he immediately felt that his second brother had spoken what was in his heart, and immediately jumped up and shouted: "Me too!"
Liu Bei would not fail to listen to his brother's words, He nodded: "Brother Wei knows, but they are guests from afar. Since we have accepted them, we can't keep a cold face. Otherwise, wouldn't all the good things turn into bad things?"
" If they unite, they will gather; if they don’t unite, they will scatter.”
Liu Bei made up his mind: "If they are really not from the same group, I will let them go after sending them to Qingzhou. I have done my best."
Then, Liu Bei seemed to remember and turned around. He turned his head to Zhang Fei and said: "At the banquet later, third brother, please don't drink too much and act like a fool."
"How come the eldest brother suddenly talks about brothers."
Zhang Fei's face was full of grievances, but under Liu Bei's fierce gaze, he could only say angrily: "Brother, please relax, I, Old Zhang, will only drink and never talk."
"Okay."
Liu Bei took Zhang Fei's hand and said, "Third brother, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just that you've been drinking and causing trouble many times, so I have to guard against you."
Zhang Fei's face turned red when Liu Bei said that, and he nodded repeatedly. , begging for mercy: "Brother, the eldest nephew is still here, you can save some face for me. This time Lao Zhang will only drink and never talk."
Liu Bei and Guan Yu laughed. Liu Feng also chuckled beside him.
This third uncle of my family is actually a wise and foolish master. If he hadn't been too violent, his historical status would definitely be much higher.
Liu Bei, who was relaxed, started chatting. Liu Feng talked about some of Lu Bu's past, which made Liu Bei shake his head.
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei even looked worried, thinking that Lu Bu was really disgusting.
Lu Bu is a typical example of someone who has a good hand of cards and lets himself be beaten to a pulp without even realizing it.
The difference between history and romance is not small. After Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, he suddenly became famous all over the world.
In today’s terms, it was a very politically correct event, and it also re-created the Han Center.
At that time, Lu Bu was the most sober in his life.
Not only did Lu Bu not care about Wang Yun's suppression, which almost burned bridges, but he also seriously gave Wang Yun advice.
Wang Yun was actually both useful and defensive towards Lü Bu. While he was worried that Lü Bu would become the next Dong Zhuo, he also needed to rely on Lü Bu's bravery and command of troops.
Therefore, after giving Lu Bu all kinds of honors, giving up his title of Marquis Wen to the other party, and letting him serve as General Fenwei, Jiajie, and Yibi Sansi, it can be said to be extremely honorable.
At this time, Lu Bu seemed to be a different person. He was so clear-headed and intelligent that he didn't look like Lu Bu at all.
At the same time, he gave Wang Yun an idea and asked Wang Yun to pardon the Xiliang generals, so as to absorb the Xiliang army and then transform it into the Central Army directly under the center of the imperial court. At the same time, he hoped that Wang Yun would take out Dong Zhuo's belongings and reward them to officials and generals to win people's hearts.
To be fair, Lu Bu's two suggestions are not only correct, they are simply the policies of the country's scholars.
If Wang Yun could listen to Lu Bu, Emperor Xian would have a good chance to revive the Han Dynasty. After all, at that time, although warlords were everywhere in the world, people's hearts were growing more and more under the unlimited operations of the warlords. I feel more and more like Han.
This is simply a replica of Wang Mang of the Western Han Dynasty.
Emperor Xian lived in Guanzhong and collected troops from Xiliang. The smartest move was to capture Yizhou first and then leave Jingzhou. The local nobles were almost unable to resist under the orders of the Han king.
As long as Liu Zhang and Liu Biao dare to resist the heavenly soldiers, the Dongzhou soldiers and Jingzhou nobles will probably laugh out loud. This is not the result of heaven's surrender.
Unfortunately, the only time Lu Bu performed beyond his level was rejected by Wang Yun.
After that, Lu Bu recovered... no, he was even worse than before.
Fleeing from Yuan Shu to Yuan Shaona, and then from Yuan Shaona to Zhang Miao, is simply disgusting.
It’s not that Yuan Shu and Yuan Shao don’t want to use him, it’s just that this person is too irritating.
No, even the always kind and humble Xuande Gong was disgusted by Lu Bu and speechless when they first met.
When the time was almost up, Liu Bei shook his head and declined Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's opinions, and went to the Guest House to greet Lu Bu and others.
Seeing Liu Bei personally greeting him, Lu Bu became happy again, and Chen Gong and Zhang Miao were also a little excited.
It seems that Liu Bei is really a kind person and does not treat them as unhappily and slowly as when they meet outside the city.
"You gentlemen, we have prepared a small banquet to welcome you and wash away the dust. Please be generous with your face."
Liu Bei's invitation immediately received a warm response.
"I am unworthy of Duke Xuande's kindness."
Everyone arrived at the state capital together. In addition to Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Gao Shun, there were also Cheng Lian, Wei Yue, Qin Yi, and Chen Wei, Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and other generals were all present.
Liu Feng was a little surprised when he saw it.
Does Lu Bu actually trust Liu Bei so much?
This is bringing all his belongings. If Liu Bei has bad intentions, Lu Bujun will be defenseless now.
But considering Lu Bu's past, this makes sense.
Yuan Shao wanted to kill him, but he dared to live in Yecheng carelessly. He was so naive.
In fact, Lu Bu's thinking was quite simple. Just because he trusted Liu Bei, he didn't take precautions.
Chen Gong and Zhang Miao wanted something from Liu Bei, so they naturally had to make a gesture.
Leave aside Chen Gong, Zhang Miao still hopes that Liu Bei can help him get his younger brother.
Zhang Chao is still in Yongqiu at the moment. He doesn't know when Cao Cao will attack the city. With Cao Cao's resentment towards him, once Yongqiu city is destroyed, Zhang Miao can hardly imagine what will happen to his brother and family.
Chen Gong wanted to defend himself, but his troops were only a few hundred, and Lu Bu and Zhang Miao did not listen to him. In addition, there were really few generals under his command who could fight, so he simply Just go with the flow.
The worst thing is that it will be served in one pot.
Liu Bei’s banquet was set in the main hall, where Xuzhou discussed affairs, so it was naturally not a problem to accommodate this small number of people.
Liu Bei invited Lu Bu and Zhang Miao to sit at the top. Zhang Miao refused, but Lu Bu agreed after a few polite words.
So, there were two desks placed at the top of the main hall, one for Liu Bei and one for Lu Bu.
The generals Xuzhou Wenwu and Lu Bujun were sitting on opposite sides.
Everyone in the civil and military affairs of Xuzhou who was free was present. Even those who had not yet entered the official service, such as the Zhuge brothers, were also invited.
Although the Zhuge brothers did not enter the official position in Xuzhou, they had close contacts with Liu Feng. They themselves were from Xuzhou and belonged to the reserve talents with good roots and Miaohong. Also, because of their relationship with Liu Feng, it was expected that they would be able to become officials when they became official. He started out as a county magistrate, which was much higher than Bu Zhi and Wei Jing.
After both parties took their seats, Liu Bei announced the start of the banquet.
There are eight dishes for each person, mainly common dishes such as chicken and fish, but the cooking method is a bit novel. Dishes such as steamed fish, steamed chicken, poached eggs and so on are refreshing.
After enjoying some singing and dancing, Lu Bu suddenly said to Liu Bei: "Xian brother, I and you are from the same border. You are from Youzhou, and Bu is a Han from Bingzhou. In the past, Bu visited Guandong. He raised his troops and wanted to kill Dong Zhuo. When Bu came out to kill Zhuo, none of the generals in Guandong wanted to kill Bu. "
At this point, Lu Bu shook his head and sighed, he couldn't understand. I am obviously the benefactor of these Guandong people, why do they all regard me as their enemy?
So, he couldn't help but complained to Liu Bei: "All the generals in Guandong are all wolf-hearted."
Zhang Miao was about to drink when he heard Lu Bu's words. Smashed the wine baron.
Lu Bu's words really scolded everyone present.
At least Zhang Miao and Liu Bei cannot run away.
Chen Gong was also extremely helpless. He secretly glanced at Liu Bei, but saw that the latter looked normal and not angry, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
However, he did not dare to let Lu Bu continue talking nonsense, so he stood up and toasted to Liu Bei, thanked him and said: "Among the generals in Guandong, there are also people as kind and loyal as Liu Shijun. Marquis Lu Wen is no exception. It's too arbitrary."
Lu Bu finally woke up and quickly explained: "Xian brother, Bu didn't tell you, don't worry about it."
Liu Feng sighed inwardly. If Lu Bu hadn't been such a bad guy in history, he would have suspected that the other party was deliberately acting stupid and had ulterior motives.
Suddenly, Liu Feng noticed that Lu Bu was looking at Chen Gong frequently, wondering what tricks this guy was going to play.
"My dear brother, singing and dancing are boring. We are just men from the frontier. Why don't we compete in martial arts and practice. What do you think, dear brother?"
Lü Bu's words immediately made Chen Gong and Zhang Miao angry. With shocked expressions on their faces, it was obvious that even they didn't know Lu Bu was doing this.
Liu Bei was quite tired of asking Lu Bu to call him a wise brother, but he couldn't refute it. If you refute all of this, it would be too disrespectful to the other party. No matter how you say it, Liu Bei was able to win Xuzhou because of Lu Bu's kindness.
Without his sneak attack on Yanzhou from behind, forcing Cao Cao to return for rescue, and dragging Cao Cao into a bloody battle for two years, Liu Bei would never have been able to ascend to the position of Xuzhou Mu so easily, let alone his development this year.
So, Liu Bei agreed with his face and said: "Marquis Wen's words are very powerful, how can Bei not follow them? I don't know how Marquis Wen wants to perform martial arts?"
Liu Bei's agreement was immediate. Lu Bu's face was flattered, and he looked at Chen Gong and Zhang Miao like a victorious goose. Then he said to Liu Bei with a smile on his face: "Bu and my dear brother are both border warriors. What we are good at is nothing but fighting." Skills, shooting skills, and equestrian skills. It's better to set up three skill battles to compete with bare hands, foot combat, and mounted combat."
After saying that, Lu Bu finally had his brains and noticed something was wrong. He could do it with his bare hands. So far, it's really a trial of foot combat and cavalry combat. When the time comes, the sword has no eyes, and if it really catches sight, it will be very troublesome.
So he added: "Well... we can't use this in foot and cavalry battles, so we have to rely on archery to determine the outcome. What do you think, my dear brother?"
Liu Bei looked at Liu Feng, who was slightly stunned. nod.
Seeing that all the elders in his family agreed, Liu Bei naturally agreed: "In that case, then I will take a look at the majestic appearance of Bingzhou athletes."
Lü Bu was overjoyed and immediately made arrangements: "In that case, let's compete with bare hands in the first match."
After saying that, Lu Bu looked at the people behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then called them by name: "Filial father, you will take part in this battle."
Liu Feng almost spit out his drink.
This Lu Bu is really a dog. Is he so determined to win?
Normally, I don’t look down on Gao Shun at all, now does General Dian know how to favor him?
Originally Liu Feng thought he would win this bet, but now Lu Bu reminded himself.
If he really doesn't want to be shameless and ends up in person when riding and shooting, no one on his side can really control him.
In this way, both unarmed and rifle shooting must be won to ensure victory.
There is no need to worry about fighting on foot. Since Gao Shun has already taken action, Lu Bu cannot defeat Gan Ning even if he lets Zhang Liao come out.
In terms of archery, Gan Ning completely defeated Zhang Liao. In foot combat, Gan Ning also had a great advantage.
With bare hands, if the fourth uncle is here, he should not be afraid of his filial father!
Now the only people to choose from are Pan Zhang and Zhou Tai. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are the generals in the state and uncles. Naturally, they cannot be moved lightly. If you step back ten thousand steps, Lu Bu can be shameless, but Xuzhou You have to look like a big state.
It would be too much of a loss if Guan and Zhang were allowed to take action on all kinds of cats and dogs.
Liu Bei was not so conscious. After all, he was used to calling his second brother or third brother when something happened, and he couldn't turn around in a short time.
At this time, he turned his head to look at Liu Feng. If Liu Feng had no arrangements, he would have to let Guan and Zhang take action.
Liu Feng turned his head to look at Tai Shici and others behind him. Everything he saw was obviously self-recommended.
Liu Feng quickly made up his mind and said to Tai Shici and others: "Please be patient and don't be impatient."
Then he looked at Zhou Tai: "Youping, I want to ask you to take part in this battle."
When Zhou Tai heard this, he was overjoyed.
Yu Qin, he can't compare to Tai Shici, who is Liu Feng's bow and horse teacher. Yu Jin, he can't compare to Pan Zhang, who has followed Liu Feng for the longest time and been his personal attendant for several months. Yu Gong, he also A brave and fierce eagle who thinks he can't compare to Gan Ning.
But he, Zhou Tai and Zhou Youping, considers himself to be loyal, and he will never lose to anyone.
Liu Feng recommended Liu Bei, and it took him from a Jiang bandit to the current captain. How much time had passed? How lucky was he, Zhou Youping, to meet such a wise master?
Hearing Liu Feng call his name, Zhou Tai immediately stood up and held his hands in his hands and said: "Please rest assured, Sir, Tai will go all out to live up to the prestige of our state."
Liu Feng waved his hand: " Youping doesn’t have to be like this. The prestige of our state is achieved with real swords and guns. In this banquet competition, you should put self-preservation first.”
Said Liu Feng. He warned: "Your opponent is a member of the Chenliugao clan in Yanzhou. His surname is Gao, his name is Shun, and his given name is Xiaofu. This person has a calm personality and is resourceful. You must be cautious when fighting against him. However, winning or losing is common, and Youping must not do it. This concern should be treated with a normal heart."
Zhou Tai was moved. Unlike Pan Zhang, Zhou Tai is extremely loyal and obedient. He is the lord's favorite type of talent.
If it were Pan Zhang, although he would agree to Liu Feng verbally, he might still feel that Liu Feng felt that he was not as good as Gao Shun, and he was particularly angry.
Zhou Tai did not know how, he would only obey Liu Feng's orders and work hard to do so.
"Yes, Young Master, Tai Ding must obey."
"Good!"
Liu Feng reached out and poured a glass of wine: "Youping, this wine will be waiting for you when you return. Feng Yujun drinks!”
“Thank you, Mr.”
After finishing speaking, Zhou Tai stood up and walked towards the field.
On the opposite side, Gao Shun heard Lu Bu's order, and his first reaction was to see Zhang Miao.
After Zhang Miao hesitated for a moment, he nodded towards Gao Shun.
In Zhang Miao's opinion, since Liu Bei agreed, he was obviously very interested in this competition.
In this case, it is better to let Gao Shun win the last battle, so that Xuzhou and Liu Bei know that their defeat in Yanzhou was due to their inferior strength and was not a crime of war.
Who let Cao Cao have his eldest brother Yuan Shao behind him, who not only provided money and food, but also directly asked Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to bring five thousand elite soldiers to Yanzhou to help.
Lu Bu and the others seemed to be powerful, but in fact they didn’t even have any foreign aid, let alone soldiers and horses.
In the recent battle of Dingtao, it stands to reason that Cao Cao should have finished his food long ago, but who can resist it? Yuan Shao sent another five thousand shi of military food to Cao Cao, and Xiahou Dun ran to Taishou Going to store water and cultivate fields not only restricted the reinforcements from Yongqiu and other places, but in the end Lu Bu could only raise ten thousand people to Dingtao to relieve the siege, and he could also replenish Cao Cao's army rations nearby.
The general Xiahou Dun is indeed a master in strategy and politics.
After Gao Shun and Zhou Tai left the field, the eyes of everyone in the hall immediately fell on them.
Coincidentally, both sides are quite optimistic about the personnel sent by their own side.
Lü Bu's subordinates are all cavalry officers, and in terms of foot combat alone, no one can be superior to Gao Shun.
Even Lu Bu himself cannot easily defeat Gao Shun.
The same goes for Liu Bei. Zhang Fei is fond of fighting and has tried his hand at various warriors recruited by Liu Feng before.
Tai Shi Ci and Gan Ning are of the same level, and can be equally matched with Zhang Fei. If you want to win or lose, you have to use real fire.
As for Zhou Tai, although he is inferior to Taishi Ci and Gan Ning, he can still deal with Zhang Fei without falling behind.
This battle requires Zhou Tai to take action. In fact, it is not much different from Zhang Fei. After all, it is not a life and death battle.
Both Gao Shun and Zhou Tai were not wearing armor. Judging from their height and physique, Zhou Tai obviously had the advantage. At nearly 1.9 meters tall, he was half a head taller than Gao Shun.
Gao Shun was happy and fearless, his face was as calm as water, and his eyes were fixed on Zhou Tai.
The two types of hand-to-hand fighting and wrestling in this era are not like the martial arts of later generations, but closer to wrestling. Since there are no detailed regulations, it means that both can be used, or even used at the same time.
The two people hunched their backs slightly, looked at each other, and slowly circled in the hall.
Although both sides were circling, their steps were extremely steady and their hands were lowered.
Suddenly, the two of them shouted violently almost at the same time, kicked the ground violently, and used the momentum to hit each other.
There was only a sound of collision in the hall. Gao Shun and Zhou Tai slammed into each other like giant beasts, and their hands were entangled, one hand grabbing each other's wrist, and the other hand trying to When he went to pinch the other person's neck, he pinched his wrist instead.
The two were entangled, each using their strength to overwhelm the other.
The atmosphere of the scene also became lively, with Zhang Fei, Gan Ning, Pan Zhang and others constantly cheering Zhou Tai on. The athletes on Lu Bu's side also came off the field to cheer, even Zhang Liao was no exception.
The faces of Gao Shun and Zhou Tai turned red, and the meridians on their faces bulged high, showing that they had exerted their strength to the limit.
Suddenly, Zhou Tai saw Gao Shun reveal a flaw, and he was overjoyed. The moment his center of gravity shifted down, he supported his center of gravity with his left foot and tried to hook Gao Shun's left foot with his right foot.
As soon as Zhou Tai's right foot hooked on Gao Shun's left foot, he felt that the opponent had no resistance, but Gao Shun rushed towards him with a huge force.
How could Zhou Tai with one foot resist this wave of force? Gao Shun took advantage of the situation to overwhelm him and hit him hard on the ground.
Zhou Tai ignored the pain and immediately wanted to fight back. At least he had to lift the opponent away first, otherwise he would definitely lose when the opponent stabilized his stance.
