Chapter 5 Liu Bei is like Liu Bang, Cao Cao is like Xiang Yu
Zhou Xing followed Zhang Fei to the big tent, where many people were already sitting.
Liu Bei is sitting at the top, with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei on his right, Zhou Xing next, Mi Zhu Mifang and Jian Yong and Sun Qian on his left.
Zhou Xing and Jian Yong faced each other face to face, and he found that all four people opposite him were staring directly at him.
Liu Bei first introduced him to the four people opposite him, and then introduced him to others: "This is Zhou Xing and Zhou Wensheng, from Xiapi."
"Come, let me have a drink with you all." Liu Bei raised his glass.
Zhou Xing and everyone raised their glasses and drank together.
"Zhou Wensheng, I heard that you are a ranger?"
Mi Zhu put down his wine glass, looked at Zhou Xing and asked.
Zhou Xing felt that the other party's eyes were a little unkind, and smiled slightly: "It used to be."
"It used to be? Why not now?" Mi Zhu was a little confused.
Zhou Xing looked at Liu Bei and said: "If General Liu is willing, I can be a general or a counselor now. Of course, if General Liu is not willing, I can also be a general under Yuan Shu or Yuan Shao." , but no matter what, I am no longer a ranger."
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Wen Sheng, if you sincerely come to vote, how can I refuse? Now you are sitting with us and drinking. I hope you will work with us in the future to save the people of the world and calm the chaos!"< /p>
"Thank you, General!" Zhou Xing bowed his hand to Liu Bei.
"I wonder if you have been to Donglai, Qingzhou?" Mi Zhu asked again.
"Been there once."
Zhou Xing filled a glass of wine, picked up the glass, raised it towards Zhang Fei who was sitting next to him, and drank it all in one gulp.
In my memory, I did go to Donglai County, Qingzhou. Last year, I went with the ranger master who taught me martial arts. At that time, I was blocked and robbed by the Yellow Turbans on the road. I and the ranger master killed more than a dozen Yellow Turban men. The Yellow Turban thieves fled immediately.
"Hey, I'll drink with you." Zhang Fei was overjoyed and hurriedly raised his glass to drink with you.
Mi Zhu still stared at Zhou Xing and continued to ask: "What do you think of it there?"
"For the local people, it is a very chaotic place and it is difficult to survive." Zhou Xing replied.
"Then why did you persuade the general to go to Donglai County?"
"Because for General Liu, it is a very good place." Zhou Xing said and looked at Liu Bei again.
Liu Bei had a look of confusion on his face, and Jian Yong, who was sitting opposite Zhou Xing, immediately asked: "Oh, why do you say that?"
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others also looked at Zhou Xing in confusion at this time.
"Haha." Zhou Xing chuckled, raised his glass to Zhang Fei, and then drank by himself.
Zhang Fei quickly raised his glass and drank together, his face looking quite happy.
He originally didn't like Zhou Xing who was sitting next to him, but when he toasted to him twice, he suddenly developed a good impression, as if he had met a close friend.
"If there is no chaos in Donglai, how can the general be useful if he is gone? The general's ambition is to calm the chaos and calm the people. Therefore, the general will go wherever there is chaos. Only in this way can the chaos be controlled and the people be safe! The Yellow Turban pirates are rampant in Donglai County.
The people are suffering. If the general goes and quells the Yellow Turbans and pirates so that the people can live in peace and enjoy farming, then he will bring the people back to their hearts!"
"I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying: He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world! In the past, the great ancestor entered Xianyang and made a three-part agreement with his fathers not to take food from the people. The people were happy. Xiang Yu first massacred Xianyang and then killed Prince Ying of Qin who had surrendered.
, burned his palace, which greatly lost the support of the people. I think you all know what the outcome was. Nowadays, the general saves the people from fire and water, but Cao Cao slaughters the people in the streets. Looking at it this way, the general is like the great ancestor, and Cao Cao is like Xiang Yu."
p>
Zhou Xing has always known that Liu Bei has always followed Liu Bang's example in life and deeds. Now he compares him to the great ancestor Liu Bang, and compares Cao Cao to the overlord Xiang Yu, which makes Liu Bei very happy.
"Hahaha, what Wen Sheng said is absolutely true. Since we want to calm the chaos and calm the people, we should go wherever the chaos comes. Everyone, come, let's have a drink together."
Liu Bei was in a good mood and raised his glass to drink with everyone.
Zhou Xing said this, although it is a bit flattering, but it is also true. Liu Bei had a good deed of leading 100,000 people across the river, while Cao Cao had an evil deed of massacring hundreds of thousands of people!
Seeing that Liu Bei was in a good mood, Mi Zhu didn't want to ask any more questions, so he kept silent.
"Wen Sheng, I have decided to live and develop in Donglai County, Qingzhou as you said. However, I and the families of the soldiers and soldiers are still in Xiapi. You are so wise and kind, and I want you to go to Xiapi with Jian Xianhe.
Lu Bu, are you willing to go and ask him to return the families of the soldiers?"
Liu Bei asked Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing was stunned for a moment.
As long as Liu Bei is willing to leave Xuzhou, anyone he sends can ask Lu Bu to get Mrs. Gan and the families of the soldiers back. Why would he let him go?
Zhou Xing immediately thought of Mi Zhu's difficult questioning of him just now. After all, they didn't trust him very much and wanted to take this opportunity to test himself.
"Of course I am willing. Not only can I take back the general's wife and the families of the soldiers, but maybe I can also ask Lu Bu to give the general some food."
Zhou Xing said quite confidently.
"Oh, can you ask Lu Bu to give me food?" Liu Bei was a little surprised and asked urgently.
"Are you familiar with Lu Bu?"
Mi Zhu asked immediately, with some joy on his face, as if he thought his guess was right.
"Lü Bu and I have never known each other." Zhou Xing shook his head.
"Then how could Lu Bu listen to you and be willing to give us food?" Mi Zhu asked.
Zhou Xing smiled and said: "Haha, the general is willing to give up Xuzhou, is Lu Bu still reluctant to part with some food?"
Liu Bei somewhat understood what Zhou Xing meant.
He was planning to exchange Xuzhou and Lu Bu for the captured family members and food. Logically speaking, as long as Lu Bu believed that he would really leave Xuzhou and go to Donglai, he might really agree to give him some food.
Food is in short supply now. If we can get more food, it will be easier to get to Qingzhou.
"Wen Sheng, as long as we can bring back the families of the soldiers, it will be good. Of course, it will be better if we can get more food. If we can't get it, there is no need to force it. Don't make Lu Bu angry."
What Liu Bei wants most now is to bring back the families of the soldiers. Only when the families of these soldiers are brought back will they be willing to follow him to Qingzhou.
"General, don't worry, I have my own ideas." Zhou Xing responded.
Jian Yong and Sun Qian nodded secretly. Now that they saw with their own eyes and heard with their own ears, they knew that Zhou Xing was indeed eloquent, but they had doubts about whether he could ask Lu Bu for food.
They all understand that Lu Bu is a person who is greedy for profit, and it is very difficult to make a person who is greedy for profit give up profits.
At least they are not sure they can do it.
"Hahaha, Wen Sheng, if you can get Lu Bu's servant with the third surname to bring food, I will treat you to a drink." Zhang Fei said and raised his glass to toast Zhou Xing.
If one were to rank the people Zhang Fei hated the most, Lu Bu would definitely rank first, not only because Lu Bu was the slave of the third surname in his mouth, but also because Lu Bu took Xia Pi from his hands.
He has no way to seek revenge from Lu Bu now. If someone else can cheat Lu Bu, he will treat them as benefactors.
