Lu Bu was reading the book intently without being disturbed at all. However, before long, the system did not show the reading value, and his way of reading was interrupted.
"My lord, Zang Xuangao's subordinates are here. Please report to my lord."
The fire that had not yet risen in Lu Bu's heart disappeared just like that. Now that there was something serious coming to him, he had to deal with it.
Lu Bu also discovered that the disadvantage of being a lord is that he has to decide everything. According to his current reading progress, not to mention when he will be able to draw a lottery, even repaying his debt will take him an unknown amount of time.
Lu Bu immediately stood up, looked at Zhang Liao, and spoke gently.
"Where are the people sent by Xuan Gao?"
Zhang Liao was relieved when he saw that Lu Bu was not angry, and responded immediately.
"My lord, it's only ten steps away."
Lu Bu followed Zhang Liao and soon saw a strange young man. When the young man saw Lu Bu approaching, he immediately saluted.
"General Zang's subordinate Sima Xu Sheng meets Marquis Wen."
Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, Xu Sheng, Xu Wenxiang, aren't these the fierce generals of Jiangdong? Why did he end up under Zang Ba?
Although Lu Bu didn't know the reason, he quickly came to Xu Sheng's side and helped Xu Sheng up.
"Xu Sheng, yes, he looks like a capable general. If you follow Xuangao, Xuangao will be blessed."
At this time, Xu Sheng was extremely shocked. He was just a Sima under Zang Ba. Now Lu Bu came to help him personally and was so optimistic about him. Xu Sheng suddenly understood why Zang Ba came to surrender to Lu Bu. .
Xu Sheng had no doubts about Lu Bu's words just now, because there was no need for Lu Bu to lie to him.
Who is Lu Bu? Marquis Wen is now in charge of Xuzhou, and he is the best in the world in martial arts. But he, Xu Sheng, is just an unknown Sima. What did Lu Bu do to deceive him?
Xu Sheng felt Lu Bu's enthusiasm, and then thinking about Lu Bu he had heard about, Xu Sheng suddenly felt ridiculous.
Wherever there is arrogance, arrogance, irritability, ruthlessness, or rebelliousness in Lu Bu, he is clearly a handsome gentleman.
"The general thanked Marquis Wen for his praise. The general came here under the order of the general. The general will arrive with only two sticks of incense, and will be accompanied by thirty thousand troops for Marquis Wen to drive."
After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded. He was finally here. It took him a lot of time to pick up Zang Ba this time.
"Okay, as long as we're almost there, let's keep waiting. Xuan Gao will be here soon."
After hearing this, the others quickly responded.
At this time Xu Sheng spoke again.
"Marquis Wen, then General..."
Before Xu Sheng finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Gong.
"Xu Sima, now that Xuan Gao has come to join the lord, how can he still be called Marquis Wen? It's time to change his tune."
Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu's admiration for Xu Sheng and praised him for a while. He immediately understood that Xu Sheng was quite capable, otherwise he would not have attracted such attention from Lu Bu.
After hearing that Xu Sheng kept calling Lu Bu "Marquis Wen", Chen Gong, as a counselor, decided to help Lu Bu, and that's why he said these words.
After hearing this, Xu Sheng was a little silent.
He joined Zang Ba's army and was recruited by Zang Ba as a young man. Later, he showed some talents. In addition, he fought with Cao Cao's Yanzhou army and showed personal bravery. He was appreciated by Zang Ba and was promoted to Sima. .
But in Xu Sheng's heart, Zang Ba was not a master of the Ming Dynasty. He was originally planning to escape. However, Zang Ba wanted to take refuge with Lu Bu, and a large army was gathered to come, making him unable to escape for a while.
As for Lu Bu, Xu Sheng didn't think Lu Bu was a wise master. In fact, Lu Bu's deeds were too exaggerated and seemed to have nothing except force.
And Xu Sheng himself also wanted to go to Jianghuai to have a look. If he could meet the Ming Lord, he could take refuge.
This was what Xu Sheng had thought before. However, after meeting Lu Bu, what Lu Bu showed and what he personally felt, Xu Sheng hesitated again.
He suddenly had a feeling that it would be good to stay?
But Xu Sheng was undecided for a while and was still hesitating.
After Lu Bu saw Xu Sheng's confusion, he immediately laughed out loud.
"That is our military advisor, Chen Gong, named Gongtai. You should ignore him. Now that Xuan Gao has come to join me, you will do the same under Xuan Gao. Just call me Marquis Wen.
Don't think too much about it, the military advisor is such a nagging and stern person. You will know it later when you get to know him better.
Okay, don't worry about this issue anymore. Go back and tell Xuangao that I'm here waiting for him. "
When Xu Sheng listened to Lu Bu's words, he felt that Lu Bu was really not angry. Instead, he comforted him and felt even more admiration in his heart.
He didn't know if what he felt was right, but the current Lu Bu was the Ming Lord that Xu Sheng wanted to meet.
Soon, Xu Sheng made up his mind.
"General Xu Sheng, please see my lord!"
Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, and then he was happy. This time he thought he was going to welcome Zang Ba, but now he had picked up a good general for nothing. How could he not be happy?
One more general would give him more leverage to join Cao Cao later, right?
Lu Bu helped Xu Sheng up with both hands.
"Get up, first Xuan Gao came to apply, and now Wen Xiang has come, I feel very happy.
It is a great blessing to be able to ask and follow! "
For a while, both of them were very happy. After chatting for a few more words, Xu Sheng rode back to Zang Ba's place.
"General, I have explained to the lord that the lord is waiting for the general at the front. Let's go there first."
When Zang Ba heard this, he glanced at Xu Sheng in surprise and ignored him, but he was also happy for Xu Sheng in his heart.
Hearing Xu Sheng's words, Zang Ba was also moved. Now that there was only one stick of incense left, he could go first.
"Okay, Sun Guan, Chang Xi, come with me to see the lord!"
"Here!"
Immediately, Zang Ba took Sun Guan and Chang Xi away, leaving Xu Sheng behind to take charge of the army.
Lu Bu waited for a while and suddenly felt a vibration. He looked carefully in the direction of the vibration. Within a few breaths, three riders appeared and rushed towards him.
When they got closer again, Zhang Liao, Gao Shun and others also looked over. After a while, the three riders turned over and dismounted from their horses ten steps away without even stopping.
He rushed to Lu Bu three steps away, knelt down on one knee and saluted.
"The last general, Zang Ba, pays homage to the lord!"
"The last general, Sun Guan/Changxi, pays homage to the lord."
Lu Bu knew immediately that it was Zang Ba who was coming, and quickly walked up to Zang Ba, helped Zang Ba up, and then helped Sun Guan and Chang Xi up.
Lu Bu looked at Zang Ba, his eyes full of joy.
"Xuan Gao has finally arrived, so I can wait for a while, but as long as he arrives, let's go to the city together. The banquet has been prepared, and we are just waiting for Xuan Gao, Sun Guan, and Chang Xuan to come and eat."
Zang Ba and the other three were very moved in their hearts. Lu Bu not only saw the importance and trust they had in them, but also felt it personally.
After listening to Lu Bu's words, Zang Ba spoke immediately.
"The end will come too late. Keeping the lord waiting for a long time is the fault of the end. Please punish me, lord."
After Zang Ba finished speaking, he was about to salute again, but Lu Bu quickly stopped him.
"Xuan Gao, what are you talking about? How can I blame you? I came here early because I was afraid I would be late.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Let’s go into the city for dinner. We have to have a good time today. "
After Lu Bu finished speaking, he immediately started heading towards the city with Zang Ba and the others, and the others followed closely.
But Gao Shun, Song Xian, Cheng Lian, and Wei Xu stayed. They had to wait for Zang Ba's army to arrange it.
