Cao Cao recovered Puyang, but did not stop there. The army followed the trend and rushed into Chenliu in the south.

After Ailang successfully broke through Yanzhou, he kept going east and finally entered the boundary of Xuzhou. When Liu Bei heard that Lu Bu suddenly led his army to come, he couldn't help but wonder whether he should accept Lu Bu. However, Zhang Fei said angrily: "Then Lu Bu is not a good person. He must be trying to seize Xuzhou, and we can't let him in!" Now Tao Qian has died of illness, and Liu Bei takes Xuzhou with Tao Qian's will, and is already the lord of Xuzhou.

Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu, "Chang Yun, what do you think?"

Guan Yu thought for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Brother, the third brother is right! Then Lu Bu is just a jackal. I'm afraid that it will harm the eldest brother when he lets him in! The eldest brother has just taken Xuzhou and his status is not stable. If Lu Bu comes in, he will probably cause many variables!" Zhang Fei said repeatedly: "Yes, yes! No matter how right the second brother says this, we can't let Lu Bu come in, and ask him to go back to Yuan Shao directly!"

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Lu Bu is now a subordinate of Yuan Shao. If we don't accept Lu Bu, wouldn't it make Yuan Shao's face look bad? Two brothers, although we have Xuzhou, we have strong enemies around us! Yuan Shao in the north, Cao Cao in the west, and Yuan Shu in the south, the strength of any family is far above us! We must be cautious in doing things! Cao Cao used the excuse to attack Xuzhou, and the crisis passed shortly after, and the two brothers must still remember it! Cao Cao had been salivating about Xuzhou for a long time, and he would come again sooner or later! Our strength is not enough to fight Cao Cao, how could he offend Lu Bu and offend Yuan Shao at this time? Why would he take this opportunity to meet Lu Bu and use this opportunity to make friends with Yuan Shao. If Cao Cao comes to attack Xuzhou again, we can also ask Yuan Shao for help! Otherwise, we will break up with others today, who will we ask for help in the future?"

Mi Zhu, who had not spoken, immediately clasped his fists and said, "What the lord said is very true!" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei felt that what the elder brother said made sense and no longer objected. Zhang Fei looked unhappy and shouted, "If Lu Bu dares to break his mind, my serpent spear will poke him a hundred and eighty holes!" Liu Bei frowned and said, "When I see Lu Bu later, you must not talk nonsense!" Zhang Fei smiled and said, "I don't bother to pay attention to him if he doesn't come to provoke me!"

Not long after, Liu Bei went out of the city to greet Ai Lang himself, showing great affection, but Zhang Fei looked like he didn't like Lu Bu. Ai Lang originally liked Zhang Fei very much in modern society, but when he saw that he always seemed to have owed him five million, he couldn't help but feel annoyed. If it weren't for Liu Bei's face, he would have been fucked with him, and now he was Lu Bu, wouldn't he be able to beat him?

Liu Bei held a banquet in the hall of the governor's mansion to welcome Ailang and his group. After three rounds of wine and dishes, Liu Bei said to Ailang: "General Fengxian defeated Cao Cao with his strength and almost lost his lair. He is really a hero!" Ailang couldn't help but feel happy when he heard him praising him so much, and then smiled bitterly and shook his head and said, "What a pity! If the reinforcements had not arrived, Yanzhou would be mine!"

Liu Bei smiled, but he couldn't help but become alert. Zhang Fei was drinking on his own. When he heard Ailang's words, he couldn't help but sneer, obviously he disagreed with Ailang's words.

Liu Bei said: "General Fengxian is so powerful that he must be very important to the general!"

Ailang smiled, neither admitting nor denying it.

Liu Bei said sincerely: "I have admired General Fengxian for a long time. If General Fengxian does not abandon him, I would like to become sworn brothers with General Fengxian! I wonder what General Fengxian wants?" Liu Bei wanted to take this opportunity to connect with Lu Bu and then with Yuan Shao, so he said this. Ailang was stunned and shouted in his stomach: "What is this? Did Lu Bu become sworn brothers with Liu Bei? "Ailang didn't know how to respond for a while.

Seeing that Ai Lang did not answer, Liu Bei felt a little embarrassed. Zhang Fei could no longer hold back and jumped up and pointed at Ai Lang and cursed: "Lu Bu, my brother is the royal family of the Han Dynasty. It is a blessing you have been cultivated in your previous life. You even picked up the airs! What qualifications do you have to put on airs in front of my brother!"

Ailang was furious; everyone was shocked, and Liu Bei shouted sternly: "Third brother, why are you so rude? Why don't you apologize to General Fengxian!" Zhang Fei couldn't help but be angry and pointed at Ailang and shouted: "You like this slave of the three surnames, I don't like it!" After that, he overturned the wine case and left the banquet. When he went out, he knocked down a servant who brought the wine in and went in angrily. Guan Yu quickly clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Brother, I'll go see the third brother!" He also hurriedly left.

Liu Bei felt very embarrassed and clasped his fists at Ailang and said, "This, alas, my third brother is really spoiled by me! I didn't expect him to be so rude! Fengxian, don't be accustomed to it!"

Ailang smiled dryly, clasped his fists and said, "Eunuch Liu doesn't need to apologize. I think Zhang Fei must have drunk too much!"

Liu Bei hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, yes, third brother has always had the problem of drinking too much! He must have drunk too much!"

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere seemed a little awkward when Zhang Fei made the noise, and Liu Bei was embarrassed to mention the matter of becoming a sworn brother again.

Liu Bei asked Ailang, "General Fengxian, I wonder what your plans are?" Ailang clasped his fists and said, "The soldiers under my command are so tired. I want to repair them for a while and then return to Luoyang." Xuzhou is separated from Luoyang by Yanzhou, and Ailang and the others cannot go back to Luoyang directly. However, in the north of Xuzhou, bordering Yuan Shao's territory, Qingzhou, can return to Luoyang by detour from Qingzhou. However, Ailang's ten thousand soldiers have experienced a series of battles and broke through the siege, and many wounded soldiers have not been treated. Therefore, they need to stay in Xuzhou for a temporary rest and recuperate.

Liu Bei nodded and thought, "This is easy to deal with. There is Xiaopei City in the west of Xuzhou. Although the city is not big, it can be considered as rich in resources and rich in people. It is enough for General Fengxian to recuperate and heal the wounded. I asked Fengxian to lead the army to temporarily stock up on Xiaopei. It is not too late to return to Luoyang when the soldiers under his command are well recovered. I wonder what Fengxian wants to do? Don't worry, I will provide the soldiers, armor, food, grass and medicines."

Ailang nodded when he heard that Liu Bei thought so thoughtfully and had nothing to say.

After the meeting, Liu Bei ordered people to take Ailang and the others to rest. Ailang and others came to the inn to rest. Ailang had just experienced a fierce battle and escaped from death. Then he sat on the bed and felt his bones all over his body tired, and he couldn't help but lie down. After a while, Ailang fell asleep. He had a beautiful dream, dreaming that in the bedroom of Luoyang Haoshe, he was hugging his wife and Diao Chan doing the most wonderful things.
