Chapter 660: Lu Bu attacked Pi
Yuan Yao got the battle report, although he was furious, he was helpless, Yang Hong persuaded him on the side: "The lord doesn't have to worry, I have heard that Lu Bu and Liu Bei are in harmony, it is better to send someone to lure him!" If Lu Bu sneaks up on Xiapi, it will definitely succeed! Liu Bei will be self-defeating! β
Yuan Yao was overjoyed and immediately wrote a letter to send to Xiaopei.
After Liu Bei sent troops to leave here, Zhang Fei handed over all kinds of trivial matters to Chen Deng to manage; As for the major affairs of the military aircraft, they have to consider it themselves, but they have not been drunk for many days.
But after a long time, he couldn't hold back the gluttony in his stomach, so he summoned all the officials in Xuzhou to Xiapi in the name of discussing military aircraft, but he didn't really discuss military affairs, but ordered people to put a lot of good wine and good food.
Between the confusion of everyone, Zhang Fei said: "When my brother left, he told me to drink less, just because I was afraid that I would make a mistake after drinking. but today they will all drink to their full! β
Chen Deng smiled: "The general's gluttony is strange again, right?" β
Zhang Fei glared at him: "Are you not greedy?" β
After that, Zhang Fei got up and pushed the cup with everyone. In front of Cao Bao, Cao Bao excused himself and said: "I have a precept from heaven and do not drink." β
Zhang Fei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "How can a fighting man not drink?" I want you to eat one. β
Cao Bao saw Zhang Fei's frightened appearance, so he had to drink a cup. Although Zhang Fei toasted to everyone in person, he used a huge cup, drank dozens of cups in a row, and didn't feel that he was already drunk, but he still got up and talked to everyone again. After a while, the wine came to Cao Bao again, and Cao Bao excused himself again: "I really can't drink it." β
Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "You just ate it, why are you pushing it back now?" β
Cao Bao repeatedly refused to drink, and Zhang Fei became drunk, so he said angrily: "If you violate my order, you should be beaten by 100!" Come on, take this person! β
Seeing this, Chen Deng immediately stopped: "The general is angry, don't you remember what the lord paid you when he left?" β
Zhang Fei was already drunk at this time, and said angrily: "Yuanlong, you are a civil official, only take care of civil affairs, and Hugh will take care of my martial arts!" β
Cao Bao saw that he was helpless, so he had to beg: "Yide Gong, look at my son-in-law's face, and forgive me." β
Zhang Fei said strangely: "Your son-in-law? Who is he? β
Cao Bao said a little proudly: "Lu Bu! β
Zhang Fei was furious when he heard this: "I didn't want to beat you, but you bluffed Lu Bu to bluff me, I want to beat you!" If I beat you, I will beat Lu Bu! β
They could not be persuaded by them. Zhang Fei took the whip and personally whipped Cao Bao to fifty, beating Cao Bao to the point that Cao Bao was skin and flesh, and everyone couldn't see it, so they helped Zhang Fei to spare him before stopping.
After the banquet dispersed, Cao Bao went back, remembering that Tao Qian was in Japan, even if he was wrong, he had not been punished, not to mention that today was humiliated for no reason, he couldn't help hating Zhang Fei, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and immediately wrote a letter in person, and ordered his henchmen to send it to Xiao Pei Lu Bu.
LΓΌ Bu was distressed by Cao Cao's request for Liu Bei to murder him at this time, when suddenly the soldiers reported a letter from Yuan Yao, and LΓΌ Bu opened the letter and read: "The ancestor raised troops and failed to slaughter Dong Zhuo. General Zhu Zhuo, avenging the shame of his father, is also a meritorious person. Xijin Yuanxiu went south to Fengqiu, but was defeated by Cao Cao. The general cut it down, so that Yaofu was clear in the world, and the merit was two. Since Yao's birth, he has not heard that there is Liu Bei in the world, and Bei Nai raised troops to fight against Yao. With General Welling, if he can break the preparation, he will also have three merits. The general has three major contributions to Yao, although Yao is not sensitive, he is dedicated to life and death. The general has been attacking for many years, and the army food is scarce, so he will send 200,000 yuan of rice today. Not only does it stop here, when Luo Yi recovers. All short and long are also fate! β
Lu Bu was overjoyed with the book, so he summoned the generals and passed Yuan Yao's letter to the generals, Chen Gong said: "I heard that Liu Bei and Guan Yu led the army to fight with Ji Ling in Xuyi, the battle situation was unfavorable, and Yuan Yao's grain and grass were burned by Princess Wannian in Yangzhou, how could there be grain and grass to give us?" β
Lu Bu was surprised for a moment, and then asked, "What does Gongtai mean, is Yuan Yao a plan?" β
"Surely the plan must be the plan?" Chen Gong said, "But it's good for us!" β
Zhang Liao said: "I heard that Xiapi is Zhang Fei's guard, I'm afraid it will not be easy to attack!" β
Chen Gong smiled and said: "It's just a puppet, it's not difficult to figure it out!" β
Lu Bu was about to say something, when suddenly a small soldier came: "Lord, Lord Cao Bao has a letter here!" β
Chen Gong's eyes lit up: "The opportunity has come!" β
Lu Bu looked at his father-in-law's letter Cao Bao and said with joy: "God help me!" β
Chen Gong took the opportunity to say: "Xiao Peiyuan is not a place to live for a long time. Today, Xuzhou has a gap that can be taken, and it is too late to regret it. β
Lu Bu nodded: "The whole army is ready to fight!" Then he put on his horse, and led five hundred horsemen to the front; Chen Gong led the army to follow, and Gao Shun also marched.
Xiao Pei was only forty or fifty miles away from Xiapi, and after crossing Luoma Lake, he soon arrived. When Lu Bu led the army to the city, it was only four watches, the moonlight was clear, and the defenders in the city were even more unconscious.
Lu Bu went to the city gate and shouted, "Liu Envoy Jun has a secret to send people to." β
Cao Baojun had already reported to Cao Bao in the city, and Cao Bao went to the city and saw that it was Lu Bu, so he immediately ordered the sergeant to open the door.
Lu Bu made a secret signal, and all the troops poured into the city together, and suddenly shouted loudly.
Zhang Fei was drunk and lying in the mansion, hurriedly woke up left and right, and reported: "Oh no, General Zhang, Lu Bu opened the city gate, and the killing general came in!" β
"What!" Zhang Fei was furious, and hurriedly wanted to put on the armor, but because of the rising strength of the wine, he couldn't wear it at all, he was angry, he simply didn't wear it, and directly took the snake spear, and when he went out of the mansion to get the horse, Lu Bu's five hundred military horses had arrived, and they were greeting Zhang Fei, so they came here.
Zhang Fei was still drunk at this time, and he fought with Lu Bu for a few rounds, and he was not able to fight at all. Lu Bu also knew Zhang Fei's martial arts, and he didn't dare to force him too much, and the eighteen cavalry generals protected Zhang Fei and went out of the east gate, but Liu Bei's family members were all in the mansion, and they couldn't take care of it.
However, Cao Bao himself saw that Zhang Fei only had more than a dozen escorts, and bullied him to get drunk, so he rushed with 100 people to report the revenge of the whipping.
Zhang Fei also saw Cao Bao, so he was naturally furious and patted the horse to greet him. After the battle of Sanhe, Cao Bao expected that the enemy could not turn the horse and lose away, Zhang Fei rushed to the river, a spear was stabbing Cao Bao in the back of the heart, Cao Bao screamed miserably, and died in the river with people and horses.
Although Zhang Fei was a little sobered up at the moment, he knew that the general trend had gone and he was no longer able to return to the sky, so he greeted the soldiers outside the city, and everyone who went out of the city followed Zhang Fei to look at Xuyi.
Lu Bu entered the city to appease the residents, and ordered 100 soldiers to guard the door of Liu Bei's house, and no one was allowed to enter without permission.
In the pouring rain, Zhang Fei led dozens of horsemen to Xuyi Liu Bei's army, saw Liu Bei, and knelt down with a pop, Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei was embarrassed, and his heart was suddenly shocked, and he hurriedly asked: "Isn't the third brother guarding Xuzhou?" Why did you come here? β
Zhang Fei choked up: "Cao Bao and Lu Buli should join forces and take Xiapi away!" β
Hearing this, everyone below will lose their color.
Liu Bei sighed: "What a joy, what a loss!" β
Guan Yu asked, "Where is my sister-in-law?" β
Zhang Fei said: "They are all trapped in the city. β
Liu Bei was silent, and Guan Yu suddenly complained: "What did you say when you were going to defend the city?" What does my brother pay you? Today, the city is lost again, and the sister-in-law is trapped again, how is it good! β
When Zhang Fei heard this, he was terrified, and he was about to apologize for his guilt when he drew his sword, Liu Bei had already hugged him forward, grabbed the sword and threw it to the ground: "Yide is so confused!" The three of us are righteous in Taoyuan, not seeking to live together, but willing to die together. Now that he has lost the city, his family is small, and his brothers have died in the middle of the road? Besides, the city is not mine; Although the family members are trapped, Lu Bu will not be killed, and he can still design to save them. The virtuous brother made a mistake for a while, why did he want to donate his life! β
After saying that, Liu Bei cried loudly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also wept: "Brother is right, leave it to be useful, and swear to avenge this blood sea of hatred!" β
Suddenly, the soldiers came to report: "Lord Qi, urgent report, Lu Bu ordered Gao Shun to lead the troops towards us!" β
When Zhang Fei heard this, he was immediately furious: "It's just in time, brother, wait for the younger brother to go out and kill this Gao Shun!" β
"No, our army has been holding on to Ji Ling's army here for many days, and the grain and grass have run out, if Gao Shun and Ji Ling attack each other, we will die here! It is better to take advantage of the rain to withdraw the troops, abandon Xuyi and leave, take Guangling in the east, and then for the basics! β
Liu Bei stopped Zhang Fei and said in a deep voice.
Zhang Fei was helpless, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart, and together with Guan Yu, he prepared to retreat.
When Gao Shun's army arrived, Liu Beijun had already left, leaving only an empty camp, and it happened that Ji Ling also came with troops, Gao Shun said: "The Lord invited General Lu to attack Liu Bei, General Lu has done it according to the agreement, I hope Your Excellency can also keep your promise and take out the grain and grass that was given to General Lu as agreed!" β
Ji Ling pretended not to know and said: "I didn't know that there was such a thing, the general returned to the army, and Rong saw the lord's plan." β
Gao Shun chuckled in his heart, how could Ji Ling not know about this, but it was impossible for him to really rob Ji Ling's grain and grass, right? After having to say good words, the army withdrew and went back to Xiapi, while Ji Ling continued to command the army and pursued Liu Bei.
Liu Bei led the troops to the east to take Guangling, but was robbed by Ji Ling, most of the troops were broken, Mi Zhu sold his family assets for military use, and let his sister Mi Zhen give Liu Bei as a concubine, Liu Bei was grateful, and bought military food from the nearby people so that the whole army did not escape.
Because Liu Bei was the first prince to exchange money for grain and grass, you must know that the other princes collecting grain is tantamount to robbing it openly, so soon Liu Bei's name of benevolence and righteousness spread, but more soldiers came to defect, and many of them became Lu Bu's henchmen.
Gao Shun returned to see Lu Bu and told Ji Ling's words truthfully, Lu Bu couldn't help but hesitate a little, then Chen Gong came, handed Lu Bu a letter and said: "General Lu, I just received Yuan Yao's letter!" β
"Read!"
"Although Gao Shun came, Liu Bei did not get rid of him; and waited for Liu Bei to be caught, and then he sent him with what he promised. β
When Lu Bu heard this, he scolded angrily and said: "Huangkou son, so untrustworthy, I just want to start an army to attack him!" β
Chen Gong immediately persuaded: "No, this son is based on Shouchun, there are many soldiers and a wide range of food, so you can't underestimate the enemy." Recently, I heard that Liu Bei broadcast the name of benevolence and righteousness in Nanxu, and the team is growing day by day, so it is better to ask Liu Bei to return to Xiaopei and make wings for me. He made him a pioneer, and at that time, Yuan Yao was taken first, and then Yuan Shao, and Gao Fujun no longer had to worry about Jizhou and Huainan! β
Lu Bu was right to think about it: "Okay, just according to what the public platform said, let people welcome Liu Bei back!" β
A few days later, Liu Bei received Lu Bu's letter, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, Guan Yu Zhang Fei was unhappy in his heart, and said hatefully: "Lu Bu is an unrighteous person, don't trust him." β
Liu Bei said: "Since he treats me with kindness, I have no choice but to doubt it!" β
So he ordered the army to be reorganized, and Keri set off and came to the outside of Xiapi City.
Lu Bu had already gotten the news, and for fear that Liu Bei would be suspicious, he would send it back to his family first. When Mrs. Gan saw Liu Bei, she said that Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to set the door of the house, forbidding everyone from entering, and often asked the concubines to give things, which was not lacking. Liu Bei asked Mi Zhen to come to see Mrs. Gan, and said to Guan and Zhang: "How is it?" I knew that Lu Bu would not harm my family, but now I will wait for Xie Lu Bu to take him in when I enter the city! β
"Hmph, I'm going to go to you, I'm not going! First send the two sisters-in-law to Xiaopei! Zhang Fei said nothing, and really took people away.
Seeing this, Liu Bei said to Guan Yu: "Yun Chang, when Yide gets angry, he will drink, and as soon as he drinks, he will whip the soldiers, you also follow, the soldiers have worked hard enough, don't be killed by Yide again!" β
Guan Yu was a little worried: "Brother, what if Lu Bu has evil intentions?" β
Liu Bei smiled: "He's not so stupid!" β
Guan Yu thought about it, so he also went to Xiaopei, Liu Bei entered the city to see Lu Bu, Lu Bu had already set up a banquet, and personally asked Liu Bei for guilt: "Xuande don't be careful, I don't want to take the city, just because my brother Zhang Fei is drinking and killing people here, I am afraid of a wreck, so I came to guard the ear." β
Liu Bei knew that this must be the rhetoric that Chen Gong taught Lu Bu, and his face was as heavy as water: "The general did the right thing, Liu Bei wants to let the general live for a long time." β
Lu Bu ordered someone to take the seal, and pretended to give it to Liu Bei, but he held it tightly, Liu Bei saw it in his eyes, but he just repeatedly excused himself, and he didn't participate in the banquet, so he took the opportunity to leave Xiao Pei to live.
