After entering the city lord's mansion, Zhou Shang held a banquet to entertain Lu Bu and his generals.

At the banquet, Zhou Shang's subordinates expressed their loyalty to Lu Bu.

Only Huang Gai was silent, and looked particularly conspicuous by the sound of flattery around him.

Looking at Huang Gai, Lu Bu raised his glass and said to Huang Gai: "Come on, General Huang, I will give you a glass!"

Huang Gai was both surprised and moved when he saw Wen Hou toasting him.

He quickly stood up and said to Lu Bu: "I dare not, I should have waited for a cup of warmth!"

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Okay, then we'll have this cup!"

Huang Gai said loudly: "Okay, then I will do it first!"

After saying that, Huang Gai picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

Lu Bu also drank the wine in the glass, put down the wine glass and asked Huang Gai, "Would General Huang be willing to follow this marquis to fight the world, make achievements and be granted the title of marquis and ministers?"

The generals in Wanling City were both envious and jealous of Huang Gai.

Unexpectedly, Huang Gai, who ignored Wen Hou's love, won the appreciation of Lord Wen Hou.

Could it be that Lord Wen Hou doesn’t like flattery?

Huang Gai was extremely moved in the face of the olive branch that Lu Bu gave, but in the end he said: "Mr. Wen Hou, I will be very weak and I have no face to follow Master Wen Hou."

Um?

What's wrong with this Huang Gai?

He actually refused his recruitment?

Huang Gaide's martial arts skills are the strongest in Wanling City, but looking at the entire man, he actually can't be named.

At least within the top fifty, it is unlikely to find a place.

Lu Bu recruited Huang Gai purely because he loved talent.

However, he did not expect that Huang Gai was so ignorant and did not accept his own recruitment.

However, such a thing is barely possible. Besides, Huang Gai is not a peerless general. Getting it is an unexpected surprise. Even if you can't get it, there is nothing to be a pity.

Lu Bu couldn't help but frown and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions. Since General Huang doesn't want to, then let this matter be aside!"

Seeing Lu Bu's face feeling unhappy, Huang Gai said in fear and fear: "Master Wen Hou, Mo General is not unwilling to follow. It is really a low-powered general, and even the vanguard under Master Wen Hou's seat cannot beat. Male general, Mo General is really shameless..."

Um?

Did Huang Gai regard Zhang Fei as a pioneer?

He thought Zhang Fei was grabbing a lot of things under his seat?

After hearing Huang Gaide's words, Lu Bu couldn't help laughing and said, "General Huang, you don't know. General Zhang Fei and General Zhang who fought with you are a peerless general of the same level as Guan Yu and Zhao Zilong! You can fight him for twenty rounds without a winner, and you will only show a defeat after twenty rounds, and you can already be ranked first-class!"

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Huang Gai couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turns out that Zhang Fei, who was fighting with him, was so powerful!

Huang Gai immediately left the table, knelt on one knee, and said to Lu Bu in a deep voice: "I'll see Huang Gai!"

Lu Bu was overjoyed, strode over, stretched out his hands and helped Huang Gai up.

Then he said to Huang Gai: "Okay! OK! Since that's the case, I will assign you to General Zhang Fei's account and be a vanguard officer!"

Huang Gai responded loudly.

Then he picked up the wine glass, stood up and said to Zhang Fei, "General Shenwu, I admire you very much. I respect you with a cup of general, and I will do it first!"

Zhang Fei laughed and said, "Your martial arts is not bad either. There are only a handful of people who can take twenty moves under this general! Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, sit next to me!"

Huang Gai sat next to Zhang Fei, and the two of them had a drink of wine, and soon became good friends.

When Lu Bu saw this scene, he smiled and said nothing.

Zhang Fei is really different from before and has learned a lot.

Then Lu Bu found that Zhou Shang was depressed and had a bad look.

It must be because the land must be handed over, and this guy was unhappy.

After the banquet ended, Lu Bu found Zhou Shang and Zhou Shang to talk alone.

Lu Bu asked Zhou Shang to sit down, and then asked in confusion: "Mr. Zhou seems to be from Lujiang? Doesn't the Zhou family's property seem to be here either?"

Zhou Shang should be from Shu County, Lujiang, and his family should not be in Wanling City.

Zhou Shang nodded and said, "Yes, Shang's hometown is indeed in Shu County, Lujiang. It's just that my Zhou family has scattered branches and leaves in Wanling City and bought a lot of land. Also, please don't call me the county magistrate again in the future, because Shang is no longer the county magistrate."

Huo, Zhou Shang still has complaints in his heart now!

But thinking about it is true, I can't feel happy if I change my property and get it taken away.

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou is indeed not suitable to serve as a prefect. In this way, after this marquis conquered the entire Jiangdong, Master Zhou can become an official in the central government!"

Zhou Shang was a county magistrate in Danyang for many years, and he must have many of his own confidants.

Lu Bu really didn't dare to let Zhou Shang continue to be the county magistrate in Danyang.

What's more, once a vacancy occurs, you must first appoint your own person.

Otherwise, who would follow you wholeheartedly?

Zhou Shang had already expected this time and remained silent.

Lu Bu continued: "In fact, giving up the land may not be an opportunity for the Zhou family to rise."

Huo! You really feel like you are standing and talking without any pain!

It’s not your land!

If Lu Bu hadn't been a warm hour, if Zhou Shang hadn't been under the low eaves now, Zhou Shang would have been going up and spitting on Lu Bu's face!

Lu Bu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Zhou, you think that in the future, all the land of aristocratic families will be reclaimed. However, this land will not be reclaimed for vain. This marquis will reclaim it at the market price."

"Of course, this marquis may not be able to afford so much money for a moment, and can use other negatives to mortgage it. For example, in shops in Shanghai, locations in other counties, or in some kind of privileges of conducting business, etc."

"Now the Zhou family is the first wealthy family willing to hand over the land. The first one means a larger choice and a wider range of choices. Isn't this a good opportunity for the Zhou family?"

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhou Shang's eyes lit up.

Yes, since everyone has to hand over the land, it means everyone is standing on the same starting line.

Since that is the case, then my Zhou family is the first, and it really has a huge advantage!

Thinking of this, Zhou Shang couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

Then Zhou Shang couldn't help but say to Lu Bu: "Mr. Wen Hou, my Zhou family is not only willing to contribute all the land in Wanling City, but also the land in Lujiang City! I wonder what preferential policies can Mr. Wen Hou give us?"

Well, it's not bad. It seems that Zhou Shang has already moved.

Lu Bu said to Zhou Shang: "Let's do this, Xun Yu is currently dealing with this matter. Go find Xun Yu and measure the land of the Zhou family first, and then Xun Yu will tell you the conditions!"

After hearing Lu Bu's words, Zhou Shang nodded repeatedly, preparing to let the family members go to Wujun immediately to contact Xun Yu.

This matter is naturally faster, the better.

The first place must not be given up!
