送走了從青州來的使節，劉備略有些興奮的在房間裡來回走動。

　不管當初在虎牢關前雙方的關系究竟是什麽，好歹呂布也是天下最著名的將領。反觀劉備雖說是徐州牧，可是論起名聲來跟呂布比還是有相當大的差距的，如今呂布跑來投奔劉備，別的不說，對劉備的名聲絕對是一個巨大的提升，就是下邳城中那些瞧不起他的人，恐怕也會刮目相看。

　不過對於劉備的這種心情，並不是所有人都能理解的，至少他的兩個結拜兄弟就是如此。

　“大哥，為何要讓呂布那三姓家奴來徐州?”等到青州使節離開之後，一直跟在旁邊的張飛有些不滿的嚷嚷道。

　關羽也在一旁讚同的點了點頭，對於呂布這個三姓家奴顯然也不是很看的起的樣子。

　“二位賢弟此言差矣，雖說此人曾先後背叛兩主，然畢竟有功於漢室，又同曹操有仇，如今落魄來投，我若是拒絕了，令四方之士寒心不說，傳揚出去，說不定還會讓人以為我們怕了曹操”

　畢竟曹操同徐州有仇，如今呂布來投靠，劉備若是不收留，在外人看來跟他怕得罪曹操有什麽區別?就算不考慮收留了呂布，對自身名望的提升，劉備也絕對不可能會拒絕——————不管徐州的人究竟有多慫，以至於在呂布同曹操交戰的時候都不敢出兵相助，有一點還是很明確的，那就是徐州同曹操之間的仇恨絕對不是三言兩語可以抹去的。

　尤其是在徐州內部，更是有很多人對曹操恨之入骨，假如劉備不敢接納呂布，被這些人視為是懼怕了曹操，只怕劉備的位置都要坐不穩了。

　張飛也清楚劉備的話是對的，心裡再怎麽反對也沒有開口說出來，到是關羽開口提醒道。

　“大概還是多加小心才是，畢竟有丁原跟董卓的前車之鑒擺在那裡”

　卻是對呂布不是很信任，不得不提醒一句。

　跟關羽比起來，劉備就要顯得有自信的多了。“二位賢弟多慮了，如今呂布危難來投，我有恩於他，他又怎麽會忘恩負義?他已經兩次背叛前主，再這麽做，恐怕天下人都要恥笑他了。”說到這裡，劉備也看向了自己的兩個兄弟。“再者我身邊又有兩位賢弟在旁，就是那呂布真的要做什麽，又有什麽可懼怕的。”

　聽到這話，兩人有些驕傲的點點頭，表示劉備說的很有道理。

　想也是，有他們兩個人在，就算是呂布真的想做些什麽也絕對不可能會是對手。於是也就不再勸阻，畢竟繼續勸阻下去，豈不是跟他們怕了呂布也沒什麽區別?

　自然，想要將呂布他們安頓下來也不是件容易的事，想到這裡劉備又派人將孫乾也招了過來，而後讓孫乾去安排一下。

　佔據了徐州之後，小沛對於劉備已經沒有什麽特別重要的意義，將小沛借給呂布暫居，並不會影響劉備的利益，反而能多一個屏障，實在是有百利而無一害。

　對於劉備收留呂布的事情，孫乾也沒太多的異議，只是聽從命令行事，從官庫中提取了許多的糧草乃至布匹，打算等到呂布抵達小沛之後，至少供應一段時間。

　嗯嗯，不好意思，後面的一定在兩個小時內補上！！！
