Chapter 82 Lu Bu’s final highlight
  The emperors of the Western Han and Eastern Han Dynasties were very surprised.
  Didn't Liu Bei lead Xuzhou Mu?

Why did you come to vote for Cao Cao?
  Several emperors who knew military affairs thought of Lu Bu dongdong and surrendered to Liu Bei, and they made speculations.

But they still couldn't figure out why Lu Bu could do it?
  ……

[Liu Bei has a special charm, that is, he can leave a good impression on all kinds of people. 】

[He doesn't like reading, but he is very popular among scholars and celebrities who come from aristocratic families. 】

[When he was the magistrate of Pingyuan County in Qingzhou, he was favored by Chen Yuanfang, a famous scholar from Yingchuan. 】

[Later, Kong Rong, the prime minister of Beihai State in Qingzhou, was besieged by the Yellow Turban Army. He immediately thought of asking Liu Bei for help. After Liu Bei rescued him, Kong Rong had a better impression of Liu Bei. 】

[Even Yuan Shao, who was hostile to him, felt respectful after learning about Liu Bei's rescue of Qingzhou Beihai. 】

……

The play continues on the marquee,

In the state pastoral office,

An elegant man raised his hands to Liu Bei who was sitting opposite him and said:
  "Today the Han Dynasty is torn apart and the sea is overturned. We must make great achievements today."

"Xuzhou is rich and has a household registration of one million. I want to ask you to rule the state."

Opposite Liu Bei hesitated:
  "I am taking the post of governor of Yuzhou now, but it is really not easy for me to take charge of Xuzhou from afar."

"Furthermore, Yuan Gongdao is near Shouchun, and the Three Dukes of the Fourth Generation have returned to the sea. You can hand over Xuzhou to him."

The romantic scholar shook his head:

"Yuan Shu is arrogant and extravagant, and he is not the kind of person to govern troubled times."

"Now I am willing to provide you with one hundred thousand troops and horses for your envoy. I can support you and help the people, and establish the business of the Five Hegemons. I can segregate and defend the territory below, and I can write down my merits on bamboo and silk."

"If the envoy is unwilling to listen, then Chen Deng will not dare to listen to the envoy."

Kong Rong on the side said to Liu Bei:
  "Is Yuan Gongli a person who worries about his country and forgets his family?"

"Why should I care if there are dry bones in the grave!"

"Today's matter is not taken by the people but by God. Regrets cannot be pursued."

……

[In 195 AD, Tao Qian passed away and left a will, which meant that only Liu Bei could maintain Xuzhou. 】

[And the celebrities in Xuzhou also welcomed Liu Bei. 】

[Liu Bei did not agree at first, but Chen Deng and Kong Rong personally persuaded him, meaning "the people of Xuzhou are counting on you" and "Xuzhou is so good, why are you hesitant?", so Liu Bei agreed. 】

[Yuan Shao of Jizhou also expressed his opinion that Liu Bei's presiding over Xuzhou was "sincerely what he expected"]

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
  Liu Heng looked at this scene without comment.

Liu Qi saw Liu Heng's appearance and asked:
  "Father, is something wrong?"

Liu Heng looked at Liu Qi, really helpless.

"Can't you see something so obvious?"

"What the common people are capable of, God cannot take."

"These people just want to find someone to stand up to the surrounding princes!"

"Liu Bei has a generous personality and is the best candidate."

……

On the canopy,
  The rest of the thirteen states of the Eastern Han Dynasty were dark, and only Xuzhou and Nanyang were lit.

At this time, 'Yuan Shu', who was in Nanyang, looked around.

If you want to occupy Yanzhou, you can't defeat Cao Cao.

He wanted to capture Jingzhou, but he couldn't defeat Liu Biao.

After wandering around for a while, he opened his sword towards Xuzhou's 'Liu Bei' to the north.

'Liu Bei' was shocked! Then he also took out his sword,
  After the two were about to have a fierce fight,

'Lu Bu' rode a red horse from Yanzhou in the west to Xuzhou.

The camera turns,
  In the state pastoral office,

Liu Bei, dressed in a mysterious robe and wearing a three-liang Jinxian crown, sat at the head of the throne.

On the left and right are the "beautiful bearded men" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Below, Lu Bu, who was tall and wearing bright armor, bowed his hands in salute.

……

[At that time, Nanyang Yuan Shu was eyeing Xuzhou. Liu Bei, who had a real territory and army for the first time, was thinking about how to deal with Yuan Shu. Lu Bu came to surrender, and Liu Bei accepted Lu Bu. 】

[Lü Bu asked his family members to come to see Liu Bei and call him his brother. 】

[Liu Bei also showed the greatest sincerity. He did not doubt the people he suspected, but he did not doubt the people he hired. He directly asked Lu Bu to garrison troops in the west of Xiapi. 】

……

The play continues on the marquee,

Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were confronting each other in Xuyi (xū yí) and Huaiyin areas, and the fight was inextricable.

Not far behind Liu Bei, Lu Bu, who was in Xiapi, flashed his halberd and stabbed Liu Bei in the back!
  The camera turns,
  Liu Bei, who was dressed in civilian clothes, bowed his hands and saluted Lu Bu, who was sitting high on the throne.

……

[When Liu Bei and Yuan Shu were fighting in Huaiyin, Lu Bu, who led the troops to guard Liu Bei's base camp in Xia Pi, stole his home in Xia Pi and captured Liu Bei, his general, his wife and children. 】

[Liu Bei's army lost morale, retreated to Guangling, and fell into a situation of no food. So Liu Bei surrendered to Lu Bu. 】

……

Big man,

Liu Bang looked at Lu Bu's position on the sky screen carefully, and then sighed.

"Xuande is too careless and trusting of others."

"How can we let outsiders guard the area around our base camp!" "You believe him when he says he's a brother?!"

"It's a pity that someone took advantage of the situation to sneak attack."

"And this Lu Bu!"

Liu Bang frowned.

"No wonder you are not likeable, you are a capricious villain. Hateful!"

"Return brother! Just like Xiang Yu!"

Lu Pheasant also looked ugly.

Do you "brothers" of the old Liu family like to capture your "brothers'" wives and children?
  What's wrong with everything? ! !
  Liu Ying on the other side shuddered,
  It's hard to live in the enemy camp...

……

[Lü Bu saw Liu Bei surrendering, so he sent back Liu Bei and the families of Liu Bei's soldiers, and asked Liu Bei to garrison Xiaopei. 】

[But Yuan Shu did not want to let Liu Bei go, so he sent Ji Ling, commander of 30,000 infantry and cavalry, to attack Liu Bei. Liu Bei had no choice but to ask Lu Bu for help. 】

……

On the canopy,
  In a military camp, Lu Bu, dressed in armor, sat at the top and said to a general below:
  "Xuande is my wise brother, Lu Bu."

"Now he is surrounded by everyone, and I came here specifically to save him."

"Bu, by nature doesn't like to watch other people fight. He only likes to resolve disputes for others."

"Somebody come!"

Lu Bu shouted, and a soldier entered the tent and knelt down.

"Go and erect a halberd at the camp gate."

Then he looked at the people in the camp and said:

"Everyone, let's have a bet."

"Put it here, shooting the small branch on the halberd at the camp gate."

"If the shot hits, please stop attacking immediately and leave here."

"If the shot fails, then you will stay and fight Liu Bei to the death."

After saying that, Lu Bu, who was dressed in bright armor, picked up his bow and arrow, walked out of the Chinese army camp, looked at the halberd erected at the camp gate a hundred meters away, and bent his bow to nock an arrow.

"Boom!"

The arrow leaves the string and arrives in an instant!

The arrow hit the twig on the halberd!

Lu Bu put down his long bow and looked around, with a look of pride on his face.

The soldiers beside Lu Bu exclaimed:
  "The general is really powerful!"

……

[Lü Bu's men all advised Lu Bu to ignore it and just watch the fun. 】

[But Lu Bu also understood that if Liu Bei was destroyed and Yuan Shu occupied Xiaopei, he would also be surrounded by Yuan Shu, so Liu Bei had to save him. 】

[So he led a thousand infantry and two hundred cavalry and rushed to Xiaopei. When Ji Ling and others heard that Lu Bu had come to rescue Liu Bei, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and did not dare to act rashly. 】

[Then Lu Bu used "shooting halberds at the gate" as a bet, and one arrow hit the target. Everyone had no choice but to follow Lu Bu's instructions and go home. 】

……

Late Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian period
  Cao Cao, wearing a black robe and a long crown, looked at the sky.

"Using a halberd as a divination tool actually showed off Yuan Shu and Liu Bei's skills and convinced them."

"Pier, what kind of person do you think Lu Bu is?"

Cao Pi next to him tied up his hands and said respectfully:

"Lü Bu first followed Liu Bei, continued to attack Liu Bei, and then resumed his alliance with Liu Bei."

"He is really a repetitive villain."

Cao Cao heard this and smiled.

"Yeah, repetitive villain."

"But seeing how he protects Liu Bei's family, he disdains lewdness and plunder."

"As for shooting the halberd, it made Liu Bei more difficult. Isn't this the work of a hero?"

"Although Lu Bu is a warrior, he is also very calm and thoughtful."

"After Yuanmen shot the halberd, Yuan Shu wanted to marry Lu Bu. Although Lu Bu later regretted it, Yuan Shu always regarded Lu Bu as a potential ally. It can be seen that Yuanmen shot the halberd is of great significance."

"He is just short-sighted, vengeful, selfish, ambitious, repetitive and unjust, and sincerity cannot be sustained for a long time."

Cao Pi:......

……

[Liu Bei, who was out of trouble, quickly gathered tens of thousands of troops in Xiaopei. 】

[And Lu Bu also discovered that people in Xuzhou liked Liu Bei but not himself. 】

On the sky, Lu Bu's army was looting everywhere in Xuzhou.

The people fled to Xiaopei one after another.

[His troops are robbing everyone like bandits, so of course they are not liked by people. 】

[Lü Bu is grand, but he can only be a little bigger. 】

[Seeing how Liu Bei was so popular and his army was expanding so fast, he immediately took the initiative to gain the upper hand. 】

[How could untrained recruits resist Lu Bu's Bingzhou Jingqi? 】

[Liu Bei was defeated again and had to defect to Cao Cao. 】

 Lu Bu's character is not good, but he has morality. Moral, but not much.
