Reborn as Lu Bu in the Three Kingdoms, let’s see who can block my way

Seeing Tao Qian stand up and want to speak, Kong Rong turned slightly sideways and cast an admiring glance at Liu Bei, his eyes full of congratulations.

Liu Bei was very nervous at this time, his hands were shaking slightly and his mouth was dry.

Just imagine that a small county official can become the governor of a state in a blink of an eye. This promotion speed is not unpleasant.

The Han Dynasty had only fourteen states in total.

This is a huge leap. In one fell swoop, he has gone from a low-level official to a high-ranking official in the border areas, possessing the strength to conquer the Central Plains.

Realizing that Kong Rong was looking at him, Liu Bei swallowed secretly and nodded slightly to the former.

Thinking that when I came to attend the ceremony today, Kong Rong, Tian Kai and other important figures all respected me very much, and their previous aloofness disappeared.

Liu Bei was secretly happy because his years of struggle finally paid off.

He changed into a comfortable position and began to enjoy the feeling of high authority.

With everyone's support, he feels much more at ease.

Tao Qian stood on the stage, energetically bowed his hands in salute, and said many words of gratitude.

When everyone nodded in response, they were all a little surprised, why is he no longer on crutches?

Liu Bei didn't think too much. He kept staring at Tao Qian intently, muttering in his mind the words of humility he would say later.

After saying his words of gratitude, Tao Qian smiled softly and glanced at Liu Bei with an embarrassed expression.

Just this glance made Liu Bei startled and he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, Tao Qian said loudly: "I plan to give Xuzhou to Lu Bu and retire to his hometown."

"what?"

As soon as Tao Qian said this, the hall fell silent!

Kong Rong and others were ready to congratulate Liu Bei, but when they stood up halfway, they stopped suddenly and looked dull.

After a moment, everyone looked at Liu Bei with strange eyes. The latter's eyes were wide open, his face was a little red, and he looked around at a loss.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were also surprised, as they no longer had the happy smiles they had before.

Discussions rang out in the hall.

"Why give it to Lu Bu?"

"Yes, I heard that it should be given to Liu Bei?"

"How can Lu Bu He De take power in Xuzhou? Does his porridge taste better than Liu Bei's?"

Apparently he was mentally prepared for everyone's shock. Tao Qian stood on the stage and waited for a while before raising his hand.

"Lü Bugui was the Sikong of the dynasty. He knew that Xuzhou was in trouble and came all the way to rescue him, which shows his benevolence and righteousness.

Moreover, Lu Bu is extremely capable and was able to defeat the arrogant Cao Cao twice. He will definitely be able to protect the safety of Xuzhou in the future. "

After listening to Tao Qian's words, Liu Bei's helpless eyes flickered a few times and he quietly shrank.

Like a deflated balloon.

Compared with Lu Bu who won the battle as soon as he came to Xuzhou, he was fooled by Cao Cao as soon as he came and lost two lines of reinforcements.

I really can't compare to Lu Bu!

Guan Yu's face turned redder, and Zhang Fei was about to slap the table in anger, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

If your skills are not as good as others, what else can you say?

Looking at the wonderful expressions on everyone's faces, Lu Bu tried his best to hold back his smile. When everyone looked at him, he knew it was time to perform.

Taking a sharp breath, Lu Bu stretched out his hands and waved them in front of his chest, pretending to be panicked.

"This is absolutely not possible. I came to Xuzhou just for justice, not to seize Tao Shijun's city. Wouldn't this move me into an unjust place?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but show contempt in their eyes and disdain in their hearts. They all speculated that Lu Bu was hypocritical.

Liu Bei also thought that because he felt that the words were very familiar, he had been preparing to say such a refusal before.

Tao Qian said sincerely: "I am old and incompetent. I can no longer save the people of Xuzhou. Don't refuse to go to General Lu Bu."

Lu Bu continued to refuse, and Zheng Zheng said solemnly: "You can leave Xuzhou to your son."

"My sons are not talented enough to take on this important responsibility."

"Then I heard that Yuan Shu is not far from Xuzhou. His family has four generations and three sons and a high prestige. You should give Xuzhou to him."

Seeing Lu Bu's repeated refusals and his proposal to hand over Xuzhou to Yuan Shu, Kong Rong and others gradually became confused. Could it be that Lu Bu really didn't come to Xuzhou sincerely?

Everyone's eyes slowly softened when they looked at Lu Bu, including Chen Deng and Mi Zhu.

Tao Qian: "Yuan Shu is like a withered bone in a grave. He doesn't care about the people at all. Please don't refuse, General Lu Bu."

Anyway, knowing that Xuzhou definitely belonged to him, Lu Bu was not worried at all. He opened up his performance and said sincerely: "How can I, Lu Bu, bear to take Tao Shijun's city?"

Tao Qian was also anxious and stomped his feet to persuade him: "General Lu Bu, please take pity on my old bones and agree. Do you want me to die with my eyes closed? Ahem..."

After speaking, Tao Qian coughed violently and was a little unsteady on the stage. His son Tao Shang quickly ran to help him.

After patting Tao Qian on the back and waiting for his breath to stabilize, Tao Shang turned back to look at Lu Bu and begged: "General Lu Bu, don't refuse anymore, don't refuse anymore."

Lu Bu raised his head in embarrassment and said nothing.

By this time, the eyes of Kong Rong and others looking at Lu Bu had turned into respect, and the previous disdain had long gone.

After a quick glance at Liu Bei, who had quickly shrunk under the table, Kong Rong said to Lu Bu: "Lord Lu Bu, just agree to it!"

There were also voices of persuasion in the hall.

"Since Lord Lu Bu is here to rescue the people of Xuzhou sincerely, he should do his best to the end."

"It is said that those who are capable work hard. I hope Lord Lu Bu will spare no effort and take over Xuzhou City!"

With a long sigh, Lu Bu glanced around the hall with a solemn face, seeing everyone's sincere eyes wherever he passed.

Lu Bu snickered in his heart, he has a very strong acting ability.

After such a humiliation, many powerful men in Xuzhou were convinced.

"Well, thanks to the respect of the young and old, I will accept the land of Xuzhou first. Everyone, please rest assured that I will treat the people of Xuzhou well."

When they heard that Lu Bu finally agreed, everyone was very happy and toasted to each other to celebrate.

What surprised Lu Bu the most was that Mi Zhu, who had always been optimistic about Liu Bei, also congratulated him with a kind face.

Lu Bu didn't know yet, but Mi Zhu was the person who claimed to have met the God of Fire. Of course, he was also very superstitious. After meeting Dian Wei, he was also quietly paying attention to Baihu Hall.

Baihutang has always promoted Lu Bu's virtues, which has indirectly affected Mi Zhu.

Now that Tao Qian has chosen Lu Bu, Mi Zhu feels that she was wrong before and that the real benevolent and righteous man is Lu Bu.

As an aside, Mi Zhu actually made a beautiful mistake by meeting the God of Fire.

The Mi family is a big business family, so it is inevitable that they will offend some competitors.

One time, a competitor couldn't stand Mi Zhu anymore, so he hired a murderer to burn down Mi Zhu's home.
