March has just entered, and the world's treacherous sentiments are on the rise again.

The remaining troops of the Yellow Turbans, Guo Tai and others, attacked the Baibo Valley Horse Farm in Xihe County and captured thousands of horses, which made the military strength strong for a time.

The thieves moved quickly, invading Taiyuan and Hedong, and were forced to attack Luoyang.

The traitorous situation was fierce and the capital was shaken. Emperor Ling urgently sent Huangfu Song to lead troops to conquer.

At this time of military crisis, Emperor Ling thought of the country righteous man who defeated the Yellow Turbans and captured Zhang Jue alive. Emperor Ling urgently ordered his envoys to find Liu Bei.

——

On March 7, the angel first went to Liu Yu, the governor of Youzhou, and asked about Liu Bei and Liu Xuande who were under Liu Yu's rule.

Liu Yu was extremely surprised when he saw the angel arriving.

Liu Yu only knew Liu Xuande's name but never met him. Last year, when Liu Bei's envoy came to buy grain and grass, he said that Liu Bei had established a foothold in Julu.

After receiving the news, the angel went straight to the giant deer without stopping.

On March 13th, a rebel scout who was patrolling outside encountered a group of elegantly dressed cavalry. After two negotiations, the arrogant cavalry revealed their identity and said they were envoys from Luoyang, and ordered the scouts to go back and report.

The person who came in a row was not ordinary, so the scouts did not dare to delay and rushed back.

At noon on the 13th, Liu Xuande and his party were summarizing the progress of the farming in the city lord's palace. A scout hurriedly came to report, "Report! A group of people came from the west. They said they were envoys from Luoyang and were coming this way."

After the scout finished speaking, the whole room fell silent.

At this time, when they heard that the envoys from Luoyang had arrived, everyone had different reactions.

Zhang Fei on the left, Zhang Fei immediately stared at Liu Bei, the leader, with wide eyes.

Guan Yu on the right, Guan Yu raised his head and looked at Li Mengxi who was also in charge, watching secretly.

Jian Yong, on the other hand, kept moving his eyes back and forth on the faces of Liu Bei and Li Mengxi.

The two leaders, Liu Bei on the left and Li Mengxi on the right, had completely different reactions when they heard that the Luoyang envoys had arrived in Julu.

When Liu Bei heard that the Luoyang envoy had arrived, he was calm at first, then became happy and smiled.

On the side, Li Mengxi immediately frowned and looked serious.

After a while, Liu Bei looked at Li Mengxi and asked, "Xi'er, how should we respond to the envoy from the imperial court?"

Li Mengxi raised his head, met Liu Bei's gaze, and said in a low tone, "What can we do? When distant guests arrive, they should be entertained with wine and meat."

Liu Bei smiled and said, "Yes! You should be entertained with food and wine."

——

The angel acted very quickly. Liu Bei sent someone out to greet him, but before he got halfway, he bumped into the messenger head-on.

In the evening, the team of envoys covered with dust rushed to the outside of Julu City.

Outside the city, Liu Bei's people were waiting in neat clothes for a long time.

When Liu Bei saw the envoy arriving, he took the initiative to greet him.

The two words came together, and Liu Bei stopped ten steps away. He looked at the person facing him.

I saw a person in front opposite me, with a white face and no beard, holding a banner, looking down from a high position.

Later, two armored riders, wearing Yulin armor, with feathered wings on the back of the armor, rushed to the fields. The Yulin riders held vermilion [Han] flags to guard the left and right. After that, many armored riders holding golden melons or axes, axes and halberds lined up in a row.

A rough estimate shows that there are nearly a hundred armored knights.

While Liu Bei was sizing up the envoy, the envoy was also sizing up Liu Bei and his party.

After a while, the envoy took out the imperial edict from the brocade bag behind his back and took it in his hand. The envoy glanced condescendingly at everyone and shouted in a sharp voice, "Who is Liu Xuande?"

Liu Bei hurriedly came out of the crowd, bowed his hands to the envoy, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "That's it."

The messenger opened the edict and preached, "

By holy edict,

Bandits have risen in Hexi, and the military situation is very urgent.

According to the order, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande led his troops to Luoyang to listen and set off soon without any delay.

Appreciate this."

After the messenger read out the imperial edict, he put it away, held it in his hands, smiled at Liu Bei and said, "General Xuande, why don't you accept the edict quickly?"

Liu Bei reacted and hurried forward, looking slightly excited and saying, "Liu Xuande, a common man, accept the order!"

——

Afterwards, a banquet was held in the city lord's palace, and Liu Bei gave a banquet to all the Luoyang envoys.

On this important occasion, there can only be two people at the main seat, one is Liu Xuande and the other is the envoy. Li Mengxi sat down at the door very wisely.

During the dinner, cups were exchanged, and Liu Bei kept enthusiastically recommending drinks and dishes.

As we chatted, the identity of the envoy became clear. It turned out that the envoy was Zuo Feng, one of the ten permanent attendants.

When Li Mengxi heard Zuo Feng's name, he immediately stopped and looked towards the main seat with a frown.

Li Mengxi saw that Liu Bei's face stiffened for a moment when he heard Zuo Feng's name. Liu Bei reacted quickly and calmly returned to normal, continuing to talk and laugh with Zuo Feng.

Zuo Feng, one of the Ten Permanent Attendants, was close to the Han Emperor. More importantly, it was the dog thief Zuo Feng who had put Lu Zhi in jail.

Now that Zuo Feng came with the emperor's order, Liu Bei couldn't help but pretend that nothing happened and chatted and laughed with Zuo Feng.

When Li Mengxi heard that it was Zuo Feng, he thought that Zuo Feng wanted to extort money from Lu Zhi, but Lu Zhi refused to give it. As a result, Lu Zhi, the general who commanded the army, was easily captured and imprisoned. This shows Zuo Feng's great ability.

Zuo Feng is greedy for money, so he must be careful with his money. As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to deal with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. As the saying goes, one bite from a thief will penetrate three parts of his body. There is no need to offend a villain like a maggot like a fly like Zuo Feng.

Li Mengxi thought about it, wondering whether the money left in the army was enough for management.

The wine served at the banquet was steamed wine and strong liquor. Zuo Feng was probably too drunk and drank the strong liquor. After a while, his face turned red and his tongue became enlarged.

Zuo Feng lost his kuaizi and tugged on his collar in a somewhat dissolute way. Zuo Feng squinted his eyes and asked with a smile, "General Xuande, this wine is good, as is the fish and meat. With good wine and good meat, how can we not have singing and dancing?"

"

Liu Bei, a smart man, could not understand the deeper meaning of Zuo Feng's words. Zuo Feng, the thief, wanted a beautiful woman to accompany him.

Liu Bei's expression changed slightly. Just when he didn't know how to deal with it, a childish voice sounded from below, "I dare you to tell me that the discipline in our army is strict and there is no singing or dancing."

Zuo Feng looked over when he heard the sound, and when he squinted, he saw that the person making the sound was a little baby sitting at the door.

Zuo Feng quietly observed Li Mengxi for a while and quickly made a judgment. On this occasion of the feast, there were only a few people present, but this young boy actually occupied a seat. It seemed that this one was deeply loved by Liu Xuande. Zuo Feng smiled and pointed out that Li Mengxi had arrived.

, "General Xuande, is this a child? Is he so old?"

Liu Bei explained that he was a military advisor, not his own son.

Seeing this scene, Jian Yong covered his mouth and snickered.

military adviser?

Zuo Feng glanced at Li Mengxi in surprise.

That a young boy could serve as a military advisor was beyond Zuo Feng's expectation.

At this time, Li Mengxi was afraid that Zuo Feng would insist on asking for songs and dances later. Li Mengxi came out more and more, walked into the middle, bowed his hands to Zuo Feng, and said in a deep voice, "The angels came from afar without singing or dancing. They are indeed our soldiers."

Poor hospitality.”

As he said that, Li Mengxi turned to look at Zhang Fei, who was holding a steamed bun and chewing it happily. Li Mengxi said, "Third general, please ask me to dance with my spear to cheer up the angels."

Silence, deathly silence.

Liu Bei was stunned, Jian Yong was stunned, and Guan Yu was also stunned.

Zhang Fei, who had no good impression of Zuo Feng who spoke like an eunuch, was immersed in eating and drinking. Suddenly he heard that Zhang Yide was asking him to dance with a spear and play monkey for fun. Zhang Fei glared, "What?!"

Li Mengxi smiled and winked at Zhang Fei, "Spear dance, to add to the fun." Li Mengxi especially emphasized the emphasis on the word "spear dance", which means spear dance, not sword dance, but his mother's spear dance, dancing husband

Eight Snake Spears.

Zhang Fei was a smart man, but he was smart. Soon, Zhang Fei realized what he was doing. After he realized what he was doing, Zhang Fei spat out the buns in his mouth and smiled at Li Mengxi.

Zhang Fei stood up and walked out, bowed to Liu Bei and Zuo Feng each, and said in a deep voice, "Please wait a moment, angel, I will go get the spear."

After saying that, Zhang Fei turned around and walked away.

On the main seat, Liu Bei had a keen eye for fire. How could Liu Bei not know the meaning of Li Mengxi asking Zhang Fei to dance the spear? Zhang Fei's eight-foot-eight snake spear was so long that when it was about to be danced, the tip of the spear could not hit Zuo Feng's eyes.

While Zhang Fei went out to get the spear, Zuo Feng picked up the wine cup and took two more sips.

The wine is very refreshing and has a rich aroma. Even if Zuo Feng lives in the prosperous place of Luoyang, where there are all kinds of fine wines, in terms of aroma and color, nothing can compare to this wine at the banquet.

In terms of the most powerful ability of the Shi Changshi and others who were favored by Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, what is their most powerful ability? Of course, it is the ability to please Emperor Ling.

On weekdays, it is the duty of Shi Changshi and others to go to great lengths to collect rare treasures to please the Ling Emperor.

Zuo Feng picked up the wine cup and brought it to his nose for a sniff. The wine was fragrant and pleasant, which was rare. He picked up the wine cup and took another sip.

The wine was too strong and spicy. Zuo Feng frowned.

"General Xuande," Zuo Feng leaned forward and flicked the wine cup with his fingers, and asked Liu Bei, "This wine is good, it is much better than the wine in Luoyang.

It’s just that I choked on it while drinking.”
