"General, I believe Zhou Wensheng, he cannot be Lu Bu's man."

Jian Yong defended Zhou Xing because when he was in Xiapi, he really felt the hostility of Chen Gong, Wei Yue and others towards Zhou Xing.

Moreover, Zhou Xing has always said good things for Liu Bei, both good and bad.

"I'm willing to guarantee it with my life!" Jian Yong added.

"I also feel that Zhou Wensheng is not Lu Bu's man."

Zhang Fei also spoke for Zhou Xing. If he was asked to tell why he believed it, he probably couldn't. In short, it was just "I think".

"Well." Liu Bei nodded, "If Lu Bu wants to harm me, there is no need for such a plan. As long as he leads the troops to attack, we will not be able to escape and perish. I am too worried. Yun Chang, please go ahead and let the two of us Depart later."

"General, although Zhou Wensheng is trustworthy, Lu Bu may not be trustworthy. We must also be on guard against Lu Bu secretly ambushing his troops. We must send people to Xiapi and Jiqiu to investigate to ensure that nothing is wrong." Sun Qian suggested.

"That's what I meant."

In fact, even if Sun Qian didn’t mention it, Liu Bei would do the same.

Liu Bei first sent scouts to Xiapi and Jiqiu to investigate, and explained the situation to his lieutenants. Two days later, he led more than a thousand troops and horses to leave Haixi and headed for Jiqiu.

At this time, Zhou Xing sent someone back to report, telling that Wei Yue and Cheng Lian were defeated and injured in a duel with Zhou Xing, and that Gao Shun and Hao Meng led a thousand soldiers to escort them, but Lu Bu's other troops did not move, so Liu Bei Feel free to go to Jiqiu.

Jian Yong had already left when Zhou Xing competed with Wei Yue Cheng Lian, and he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.

"I think Wei Yue and Cheng Lian are both brave generals, but I didn't expect that Wen Sheng could defeat them!" Jian Yong sighed.

"Chen Gongtai really wants to kill Wen Sheng! Fortunately, Wen Sheng has the power, otherwise he would have been killed by Chen Gong!"

Liu Bei felt lucky for Zhou Xing, and at the same time he felt lucky for himself.

Not only can he get a resourceful counselor, but he can also get a general who is good at fighting, especially a general who combines wisdom and courage with both civil and military skills. That is rare and rare.

"Hehe, when I see Zhou Wensheng, I will also compete with him."

Zhang Fei is becoming more and more interested in Zhou Xing. This is a person who can drink with him and can still practice martial arts with him.

Guan Yu remained silent and indifferent, feeling that defeating Lu Bu's two generals was nothing to be surprised about and he could win at any time.

As for Gao Shun leading a thousand soldiers to escort, don't be afraid. It's just a thousand soldiers. Liu Bei now has more than a thousand soldiers and horses. He thinks that it is not difficult at all to defeat Gao Shun, so he doesn't take it to heart. As long as Lu Bu has other Just don’t move your troops and horses.

It is said that Zhou Xing walked with Gao Shun and Hao Meng every day, but he never thought of recruiting Gao Shun for Liu Bei.

He knew Gao Shun well, whether it was from history books or seeing it with his own eyes, he knew that he was a very loyal person.

Regardless of whether Lu Bu is good or not, Gao Shun will never betray him.

If you easily show that you want the other party to betray Lu Bu, it may be self-defeating, and you will lose both your people and your food.

You can't recruit a truly loyal person no matter what. Even if you recruit him for various reasons, as long as you know that the old master is still there, he will return to his old master, such as Guan Yu.

And the loyalty of people who can be easily recruited will be greatly doubted.

A few days later, Zhou Xing, Gao Shun and others arrived at Jiqiu.

The men sent by Zhou Xing reported back one after another. Zang Ba's troops and Xiapi's troops did not move. It seems that this time Lu Bu is really talking about credibility.

Liu Bei also received the information that there was no movement of soldiers and horses in Xiapi, so he led his troops to Jiqiu with peace of mind, where he met Zhou Xing and Gao Shun, as well as Mrs. Gan.

After handing over the food, Gao Shun and Hao Meng were sent away. Liu Bei looked at the food and felt excited. He stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xing's hands.

"Wen Sheng, I heard about your martial arts competition in Xiapi. You paid for all this food with your life! With your help, there is no need to worry about the injustice of the world and the unrest of the people. From today on, you will be our military advisor!"<

/p>

"General, I..."

"Don't say anything. You are both civil and military, and you are worthy of being a strategist! Moreover, you not only brought back people this time, but also got five thousand shi of food. You have made a great contribution. Hahaha, strategist, please accept Liu Bei's respect!"
p>

Liu Bei said, taking a step back and bowing to Zhou Xing.

At this time, he met Mrs. Gan and the families of the soldiers, and saw five thousand shi of grain. Liu Bei completely believed in Zhou Xing and no longer had any doubts.

At the same time, he also knew that the other party was a truly talented person who must be reused, so he became a military advisor.

Zhou Xing hurriedly returned the salute and said: "The general is devoted to the country and the people, and he loves the country so much. Xing will work hard and do his best to help the general quell the chaos and calm the people! Zhou Xing pays homage to the lord!"

A scholar dies for a confidant!

Less than half a month after Zhou Xinglai's surrender, Liu Bei immediately became his military advisor, and it must be said that he trusted and valued him very much.

Although Zhou Xing never thought about dying for Liu Bei, he would give his full assistance. Firstly, he wanted to make everyone in the world live a better life. Secondly, he wanted to use Liu Bei's power to destroy Cao Cao so that the original owner of the body could be saved.

Let the resentful ghosts disperse, so as not to scare people in your dreams again.

Liu Bei led everyone to the north. Along the way, he and Zhou Xing were almost inseparable and chatted happily.

It wasn’t just Liu Bei who was happy, Zhou Xing was also happy.

One is happy to have a good talent, and the other is happy to meet a wise master.

"How much do military advisors know about preparations?"

On the marching road, Liu Bei asked Zhou Xing beside him.

Zhou Xing was slightly stunned and didn't understand why Liu Bei asked this.

You once whipped the postal supervisor, and you were injured and pretended to be dead to escape a disaster. When you were in Zhuojun, you also protected horse dealers and collected protection fees. Also, you have a very tall mulberry tree in your home. You said... Zhou Xing thought

After a moment, he replied: "My lord, his heart is as benevolent as the sea, his will is as strong as a stone, he loves his people as his own children, and he hates evil as much as his enemies..."

"Okay, okay, military advisor, do you think Langya can be obtained?"

Liu Bei quickly interrupted Zhou Xing.

"It's possible, but not at this time."

At that time, the march had just passed Kaiyang, not far away. Liu Bei asked this question, perhaps because he wanted to take the opportunity to seize Langya.

But Zhou Xing knows that even if he can capture Langya now, he cannot hold it.

First of all, Lu Bu refused to agree and would definitely lead his troops to attack. Furthermore, Zang Ba and others had been in Langya for many years, and the people in Langya and Taishan would definitely be in chaos and gain nothing.

"Oh, Dongnae County is close to the sea and is on a promontory. It seems far away!"

Liu Bei had great ambitions, and suddenly asked him to live in Donglai County. It was difficult to accept it for a while, and he always wanted to occupy a state or a county in the Central Plains in order to develop rapidly.

Langya is good. Qingzhou can be captured in the north, Xuzhou can be captured in the south, and Mount Tai can be captured in the west. There are many mountains in Langya, and the people in the mountains are quite good at fighting. Now that Liu Bei has some money and food, he has calmed down, and he can't help but want to capture Langya.

Although Zang Ba has thousands of soldiers and horses in Kaiyang, he still has a good chance of taking Kaiyang City if he makes a sudden attack.

Zhou Xing guessed what Liu Bei was thinking.

My lord may be a little old and a late bloomer, so he will be more impatient. Otherwise, he would not have gone to occupy Xuzhou when he left Xudu. He clearly knew that he could not defend Xuzhou.<

/p>

"My lord, haste makes waste. Although Donglai is far away, it is suitable for living and development. When we have more soldiers and sufficient food, Langya and even Xuzhou will be within easy reach. Please don't be impatient, lord!"

"Hahaha, I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, there seems to be a prefect in Donglai County..."

"Don't worry, my lord, Kong Wenju will let my lord become the prefect of Donglai, but I just want to wrong my lord."

It is indeed a grievance to be demoted from a state pastor to a prefect.

But Liu Bei also understood that whether he was a governor or a governor, the most important thing was to have the power to govern the state and the county. The governor of Yuzhou who had no real power was not as good as the governor of Donglai who had real military and political power. At least he could recruit as many troops as he wanted.

Although Liu Bei was unwilling to do so, he still listened to Zhou Xing and headed north.

After entering Beihai, Qingzhou, Liu Bei asked Guan Yu, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu and others to camp outside Yingling County. He ordered the sergeants not to disturb the people and harm the people. Then he took Zhou Xing, Zhang Fei, Sun Qian and a hundred soldiers to Linyi, Qi State, to meet with the governor of Qingzhou.
