Lu Bu chuckled and said, "If Mr. Tao has anything to say, it's okay to say it!"
Tao Qian then coughed and said: "This Yizhou...although the emperor has been kind to us, the world is in chaos now, and the Central Plains cannot yet be restored.
In my humble opinion, with Xuande Gong’s character and ability, wouldn’t it be too unfair to go to Yizhou?
It would be better to let Xuande Gong find a county magistrate in Xuzhou first, which can also ensure the safety of the whole party. I wonder what Marquis Wen wants? "
Liu Bei was overjoyed after hearing this. He glanced at Tao Qian with a grateful expression, and then looked at Lu Bu with some anxiety.
After all, Lu Bu is now the nominal leader in Xuzhou.
If Lu Bu insisted that he should go to Yizhou, Tao Qian would not be able to make his own decisions.
Liu Bei didn't think Tao Qian would fall out with Lu Bu because of him.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu raised his hands and smiled after hearing this: "How about heroes think alike! Tao Gong, to be honest, I think so too!"
The Central Plains is still in such chaos now. With a handsome and well-spoken person like Xuande Gong, how can we let him go to an isolated overseas island?
I'm just thinking, is it too humiliating to be a county magistrate? "
"Ah...I wonder if Marquis Wen has any good ideas?"
Tao Qian had a dark look on his face: How could Lu Bu change his face faster than he could turn the pages of a book?
Is this because he is trying to win over Liu Bei and he is here to steal business?
Liu Bei remained silent and waited to see what Lu Bu would do.
Lu Bu chuckled and said, "Mr. Tao, Gong Xuande, you all know that when I first arrived, I had a dark look in my eyes.
And I am a military commander, so how do I know how to govern a place?
I was thinking, can Mr. Xuande just accept my grievances and work as an individual driver or bookkeeper under my account? "
"Uh..." Tao Qian looked at Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, Marquis Wen wants to promote you."
Liu Bei cupped his hands towards the two of them and said with a smile: "Thank you Marquis Wen and Duke Tao for the promotion. Be prepared to be frightened!
It's just that he has few talents and little knowledge, so he may not be able to take on a big position. It is better to be a county magistrate and train for a while before serving Wen Hou. "
Tao Qian was overjoyed after hearing this: After all, Liu Bei still has some eyesight, and he knows that he is the boss of Xuzhou now!
However, Lu Bu was not angry and said with a smile: "Well, in this case I can't force others to do anything. I don't know what Mr. Tao means. Which county should Liu Xuande lead?"
Tao Qian said: "Xiaopei is located in the northeast of Pengcheng, and there is no governor now. I want Xuande to take charge of Xiaopei County. What does Marquis Wen think?"
Liu Bei felt cold after hearing this. It turned out that Tao Qian just wanted to use himself as a swordsman!
Xiaopei refers to Pei County in the Eastern Han Dynasty. After the establishment of Peijun (Peiguo), in order to distinguish it from Peixian, Peijun (Peiguo) was also called "Dapei" and Peixian was also called "Xiaopei".
Although Xiaopei belongs to Xuzhou, it is close to Yuzhou and Yanzhou. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the gateway of Xuzhou.
The position is important. If someone really comes to attack Xuzhou, Xiaopei will be the first to be beaten.
Moreover, Chen Deng's father, Chen Gui, was the Prime Minister of Pei. It can be said that Peixian County was the Chen family's sphere of influence.
Tao Qian asked Liu Bei to go to Peixian County with the intention of suppressing the wealthy Chen family.
"Xiao Pei..." Lu Bu rubbed his chin with one hand and said nothing.
Tao Qian asked: "Why, does Marquis Wen think there is anything wrong?"
Liu Bei also became nervous, wondering what Lu Bu was going to do.
Lu Bu was about to speak, but Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, two men with bruises and swollen faces, came in again.
Apparently after finishing the martial arts competition, he was still worried about his eldest brother being alone in the hall, fearing that Liu Bei would suffer.
Liu Bei hurriedly told his two younger brothers with a look: Don't make any mistakes! Shut up!
Lu Bu didn't even look at the two of them, and continued: "How about Xiaopei! That is the land of Longxing, Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty!
Does Tao Gong mean to let Xuande also make a career in Xiaopei? "
Tao Qian was speechless for a while: Lu Bu is just looking for trouble!
Yin smiled and said: "Then Marquis Wen means, where is more suitable?"
Lu Bu thought for a while and said, "I don't know much about the situation in Xuzhou, but I heard that Xiapi is rich and has a large population. Why not let Xuande lead Xiapi Ling?"
As soon as these words came out, Tao Qian, Liu Bei, and even Guan Yu were stunned.
Xiapi County Magistrate? This is much fatter than Xiaopei County Magistrate!
Moreover, Xiapi is east of Pengcheng, which is considered to be in the hinterland of Xuzhou, so it is relatively safe.
Tao Qian understood in his heart: Lu Bu wanted to be a good person and sell Liu Bei a favor!
A good man cannot be left to Lu Bu alone.
Because he said: "Marquis Wen is right. If this is the case, then let Duke Xuande lead Xiapi County Magistrate! Xuande, what do you think?"
Liu Bei was overjoyed: You two were fighting each other, but I became the winner?
Because he said: "It's all thanks to the support of Duke Tao and Marquis Wen, so you should do your best to serve the country!"
Lu Bu chuckled and said: "Since Tao Gong thinks Xuande can take on this important task, and Xuande has no objection, then let's let this be settled!
But... Xiapi is in the hinterland of Xuzhou. I think it is enough to have Xuande and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stationed there.
Can Xuande bear the pain and leave Zilong with me?
To be honest, I fell in love with Zilong at first sight! "
There was another moment of silence.
Zhao Yun didn't expect that Lu Bu would directly ask Liu Bei for him?
Liu Bei also realized that there were conditions for Lu Bu to get him the magistrate of Pi County!
After quickly weighing the pros and cons, Liu Bei had already made a choice: naturally he would choose Xiapi!
What he needs most now is a place to stay and a stable base!
Xiapi is safe, rich and has a large population, so it is definitely the best choice!
As for Zhao Yun, although he also likes him, after all, he and Gongsun Zan borrowed him. Compared with Xia Pi, he is still a little lighter!
But this cannot be said clearly.
Because he said: "What Marquis Wen doesn't know is that Zilong is not my general, but a general under Lingzhi of Liaoxi.
This time, in order to save the siege of Beihai, Gongsun Zan lent him to me, so I cannot be his master.
Since Marquis Wen has a love for talents, why not ask Zilong himself what he means? "
Lu Bu nodded and asked Zhao Yun: "Zilong, I fell in love with talents when I first saw you. Now I am short of people. Come with me to stabilize the country and do some great things that a man should do. I wonder if you how about?"
Zhao Yun already knew that Liu Bei had abandoned him.
When he returned to Youzhou, he was still depressed and frustrated under Gongsun Zan's tent.
And after fighting against Lu Bu twice, he could also feel that Lu Bu was trying to win over him.
To agree or not to agree?
Zhao Yun also wanted to seek refuge with a wise master and then make great achievements.
He met Liu Bei and thought that Liu Bei was his master. Who knew that now Lu Bu appeared and wanted to rob someone, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Lu Bu laughed loudly and said: "Okay! Since Zilong has no objection, then follow me from now on! I will definitely let you put your good skills to use!"
Everyone had a dark look on their faces: Did they agree?
This Lu Bu... is so shameless!
