Chapter 365

Lu Bu panicked a bit; he really couldn't hold Xuzhou if Cao Cao and Liu Bei united to attack.

"Report! ~ There is an envoy outside the city, saying he is Sun Qian under the command of the General of the Gentlemen of the Household, Lord Xuande."

Chen Gong's eyes lit up, and he pondered for a moment.

"My lord, I'm afraid Liu Bei is not here to attack us."

Lu Bu shouted,

"Tell the ladies not to come out! Close the backyard gate tightly!"

Chen Gong...

Soon, Sun Qian entered the city.

"Envoy of the General of the Gentlemen of the Household, Sun Qian, pays respects to the Governor of Xuzhou, Marquis Wen."

Lu Bu looked at him.

"Hmph, why did Liu Bei lead his troops to Xuzhou for no reason?"

Sun Qian cupped his hands.

"Marquis Wen, my lord naturally came to save you."

Lu Bu laughed loudly; the big-eared thief would save him? The sun must have risen from the west!

Sun Qian didn't mind.

"My lord is leading an expedition against Yuan Shu with Cao Cao. After success, he will inevitably eliminate Yuan Shu's accomplices. Marquis Wen married his daughter to Yuan Shu's son, this move..."

Lu Bu snorted; his brain had also turned around. Now this Yuan Shu is a bedbug and cannot be touched!

Sun Qian said again,

"Even if my lord doesn't participate in the expedition against Xuzhou, once Yuan Shu is destroyed, Yuan Shao is to the north and Cao Cao is to the west; how can Xuzhou block them?"

Lu Bu was also shocked; he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could resist the joint attack of Yuan and Cao like Liu Bei!

Chen Gong interjected,

"What exactly does the honorable envoy want to say?"

Sun Qian laughed.

"I already said it before; to save Marquis Wen."

"My lord intends to form a marriage alliance with Marquis Wen and become allies. If Cao Cao attacks Xuzhou, my lord will inevitably attack Yanzhou, forcing him to retreat!"

"If Yuan Shao dares to attack Xuzhou, my lord will inevitably attack Jizhou!"

Chen Gong's eyes also lit up; this was indeed feasible. With Liu Bei as a strong reinforcement, Xuzhou would be much safer!

Lu Bu was also persuaded. Although the hatred of the big-eared thief stealing Diao Chan and the Red Hare horse was like yesterday, and it hurt faintly every time he thought of it,

However, forced by the situation, he couldn't be without a few reliable friends.

He immediately said in shock,

"Bad, my daughter is about to be sent to Shouchun!"

Sun Qian laughed.

"Marquis Wen, don't worry; Miss Lu is currently in my lord's army, safe and sound."

Lu Bu?? He secretly cursed,

"In the big-eared thief's army and still safe and sound? I believe you, you ghost!"

He sighed towards the sky; Liu Bei snatched his daughter, yet he still had to thank him; this life is truly too difficult!

Chen Gong felt emotional in his heart.

"Lord Xuande's speed is truly fast; he completely predicted my prediction!"

Lu Bu stood up tall.

"I will personally go to welcome Brother Xuande, no, my worthy son-in-law!"

Sun Qian?!

"Worthy son-in-law, this old man is very comforted!"

Lu Bu sat in the main seat and said loudly, his voice so loud that he wished the whole of Xuzhou could hear it!

Liu Bei's eyelids twitched; this Lu Bu was taking advantage of him, right!

The netizens in the live broadcast room also laughed out loud.

"Lu Bu has suffered so many losses from the big-eared thief; this time he wants to take it back in words!"

"What is Lu Bu excited about? It's just taking a concubine, not a legitimate wife!"

"No way, Lu Bu has never taken advantage of Liu Bei... this child is so happy."

Liu Bei laughed.

"Marquis Wen, we haven't seen each other for over a year, and you are still as dashing as ever."

Lu Bu laughed loudly.

"How can I compare to my worthy son-in-law! You gathered Liangzhou, opened up the Silk Road, and blocked the joint army of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao; your power has risen greatly!"

Cao Bao, Chen Deng, and his son, and others all offered congratulations; with Liu Bei as a strong reinforcement, Xuzhou would be worry-free!

Liu Bei and Lu Bu discussed welcoming Lu Lingqi in three days and also forming an alliance with Lu Bu to defend and attack together!

That day,

Liu Bei also welcomed a special guest, Kong Rong, who had been driven out of Qingzhou by Yuan Tan.

"Xuande, that Yuan Shao is truly unreasonable, rashly leading his troops to attack my Qingzhou!"

"I was outnumbered, and my family was captured by Yuan Tan!"

Kong Rong was snotting and crying, extremely disheveled; it was truly too heartbreaking.

【0 ······Begging for flowers····· ·······】

Liu Bei patted Kong Rong to comfort him.

"Brother Wenju, don't worry; I will write a letter to Yuan Shao and have him release your family."

"Jingzhao is waiting to be rebuilt; how about Brother Wenju going to Chang'an?"

Kong Rong's eyes lit up; this was truly possible. He wasn't good at military affairs, so staying in Chang'an was quite good!

"I only gave away a good horse back then, yet Xuande treated me so well; sigh!"

Lu Bu? "Didn't you say before that you gave it to me!"

Kong Rong looked around.

"Xuande, I have nothing left, so I will give Wu Anguo to you."

Wu Anguo was overjoyed and quickly knelt on one knee.

"Wu Anguo pays respects to my lord!"

Kong Rong... why be so anxious!

After Liu Bei thanked Kong Rong, he helped Wu Anguo up.

"Good, General Wu can fight with Marquis Wen for over ten rounds; your martial arts are extraordinary, and you are loyal. How about being a Captain under me first?"

"Thank you, my lord!"

Lu Bu? He had become a background board!

He felt a bit sour; he was clearly sitting in the main seat, yet Wu Anguo didn't want to defect to him!

However, he also admired Liu Bei in his heart; Kong Rong being able to think of Liu Bei first showed that Liu Bei's character was solid.

At the same time,

Lu Bu's sense of crisis also grew much larger. Yuan Shao fully occupied Qingzhou,

Yuan and Cao formed a siege on his Xuzhou, and he urgently needed allies!

Originally, he felt uncomfortable that Lu Lingqi could only be a concubine, but now he felt much better.

"Daughters, they are spilled water, and besides, she has long been leaning towards others!"

Three days later.

Xiapi City was bustling with noise and excitement, decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers.

The General of the Gentlemen of the Household, Lord Xuande, welcomed Lu Bu's daughter, Lu Lingqi, and formed an alliance with Xuzhou. The Xuzhou gentry also felt much more settled; this Lu Bu had finally done something reliable!

Liu Bei borrowed Tao Qian's old mansion to hold the wedding.

The guests were full, and wine and meat were spread across the tables.
