Lu Bu killed Liu Bei's envoy with a sword, glared angrily and said: "I killed Han Xuan like killing chickens and dogs, and Chen Deng was stationed in Guangling, so I didn't expect Han Xuan to attack him." ”

Chen Gongchang sighed: "Chen Jue, Chen Deng, father and son, are cunning villains, and they will not serve the general. If Han Xuan comes, we will all be prisoners! ”

Lu Bu crossed his waist and stood tall, and a domineering spirit was revealed: "Don't worry about the public platform, as long as the public station and Bu work together, Xuzhou will not be lost." ”

Chen Gong admonished: "The general can make Zang Ba connect Taishan Kousun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xuan, and take the counties of Yanzhou in Shandong in the east. Ordered Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to take Peicheng and attack Liu Bei. Ordered Song Xian and Wei Xuxi to take Ru and Ying. The general from the general Chinese army for the three-way rescue. ”

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao sent troops to Xuzhou and came straight to Xiaopei, and Liu Bei found out the news and hurriedly discussed with everyone. Sun Qian suggested: "You can be in a hurry with Cao Cao." ”

Liu Bei asked, "Who can go to Xudu to report the emergency?" ”

The next person came out and recommended himself: "A certain wish to go." ”

Liu Bei saw that it was his fellow countryman, Jian Yong, and the word Xianhe. Liu Bei immediately repaired a letter and handed it to Jian Yong, asking him to go to Xu Capital for help in the starry night; While reorganizing the equipment of the city defense. Liu Bei guarded the south gate, Sun Qian guarded the north gate, Guan Yu guarded the west gate, Zhang Fei guarded the east gate, and ordered Mi Zhu and his brother Mi Fang to guard the Chinese army.

Mi Zhu is a wealthy merchant in Xuzhou, originally Tao Qian's younger sister, he saw that Liu Bei had a noble appearance, so he married his sister to Liu Bei as his second wife. Liu Bei and his brother had the relatives of Lang's uncle, so he ordered him to guard the Chinese army to protect his wife and children.

Gao Shun led the army to kill, and Liu Bei asked on the city tower: "I have no gap with Fengxian, why did you lead troops here?" ”

Gao Shun scolded: "You linked Cao Cao and Han Xuan, and wanted to harm my master, now that the matter has been revealed, why don't you tie it up!" ”

After Gao Shun finished speaking, he led the army to attack the city, and Liu Bei closed the door. The next day, Zhang Liao led troops to attack the West Gate, Guan Yu and Zhang Liao sympathized with each other and could not bear to fight each other on the battlefield. Zhang Liao led his troops to retreat to the east gate, and Zhang Fei came out to meet him.

Someone had already reported that Guan Yu had already been reported, and when Guan Yu came to the east gate to see, he saw that Zhang Fei had just left the city, and Zhang Liao's army had retreated. Zhang Fei wanted to chase after him, but Guan Yu urgently summoned him into the city. Zhang Fei sighed: "Zhang Liao is afraid of me and retreats, why don't you chase him?" ”

Guan Yu stroked his long hair and squinted his eyes and said, "This person's martial arts are not below you and me. Because I feel it with righteousness, I have a sense of self-remorse, so I don't fight with us. ”

Zhang Fei touched his chin and secretly looked in his heart that there must be ambushes outside Zhang Liao City. This Zhang Liao is brave and strategic, it would be nice if he could assist my eldest brother. Zhang Fei only ordered the soldiers to stick to the city gate, let alone fight.

Jian Yong went to Xu Du to see Cao Cao and begged Cao Cao to send troops to rescue. Cao Cao immediately convened all the strategists to discuss and said: "I want to attack Lu Bu, and I don't worry about Yuan Shao's constraints, but I am afraid that Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu will discuss his hindsight." ”

Xun You said: "The two of them are newly broken and do not dare to move lightly. Han Xuan's meaning is still unclear, and as soon as Liu Bei breaks our army, there are almost no reinforcements. Lu Bu is brave, if he is more connected with Yuan Shu, he will be in a hurry to make it difficult. ”

Guo Jia suggested: "Now you can take advantage of its initial rebellion, and the hearts of the people are not attached, and they rush to attack it." ”

Cao Cao listened to the words of Guo Jia and Xun You, and immediately ordered Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, Lu Qian, and Li Dian to lead 50,000 troops to go first, and led Xu Chu and Dian Wei to march one after another, and Jian Yong accompanied him. There have long been horse explorers who reported to Gao Shun, and Gao Shun flew to report to Lu Bu.

Lü Bu ordered Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian to lead more than 200 horsemen to meet Gao Shun, and asked them to stay thirty miles away from Peicheng to meet Cao's army, and the self-led army followed suit. Liu Bei saw Gao Shun retreating in Xiaopei City, and knew that Cao Bing was coming, so he only left Sun Qian to guard the city, Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to guard the house, but he and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei raised troops out of the city, and went down to the village separately to meet Cao's army.

Xiahoudun led the army forward, and when he met Gao Shun's army, he raised his gun and fought with his horse. Gao Shun met the enemy, and the two horses fought for forty or fifty times, and Gao Shun pretended to be defeated. Xiahoudun chased after him, and Gao Shun walked around the formation. Xiahoudun chased after him and chased after him.

The two archers fired cold arrows at Xiahoudun, who had been blinded in the left eye by Han Xuan's general Cao Xuan when he was fighting with Han Xuan in Hanoi, and had long been wary of cold arrows.

Xiahoudun shot away the arrow, and an arrow grazed his arm, but Xiahoudun still killed him with a spear. In the Gao Shun array, Cheng Lian raised his knife and suddenly killed Xiahou Dun, who didn't care about the wound on his arm, and took Cheng Lian with a gun.

Xiahoudun's shot stabbed very quickly, Cheng Lian didn't have time to be careful, he was shot through the door and died under the horse. The sergeants on both sides were shocked when they saw it. After Xiahoudun killed the incorruptible, he returned to the horse.

Gao Shun rushed from behind, waved his army together, and the trapped camp showed amazing combat effectiveness, and Cao Bing was killed and defeated. Xiahoudun was surrounded in the core, Xiahouyuan danced a big knife into the battle to rescue Xiahoudun and escaped, and Lü Qian and Li Dian retreated the defeated army to Jibei Xiazhai.

Gao Shun won the victory and led the army to fight back against Liu Bei, and it happened that Lu Bu's army also arrived, and Lu Bubu and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun divided their troops into three ways to attack Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

Gao Shun led Zhang Liao to attack Guan Yu's military village, Lu Bu attacked Zhang Feizhai by himself, Guan and Zhang each went out to meet the battle, and Liu Bei led troops to respond in two ways. Lü Bu's army came from behind, the armies of Guan and Zhang were defeated, and Liu Bei led dozens of white elite horsemen to flee back to Peicheng. Lu Bu arrived, Liu Bei hurriedly called the soldiers in the city to lower the drawbridge, and Lu Bu also arrived.

Liu Bei's soldiers in the city wanted to wait for the arrows to stop Lu Bu, but they were afraid of injuring Liu Bei. Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to enter the city gate, and Fang Tian's halberd was like the sickle of death, harvesting one soldier after another. The soldiers guarding the city gates could not resist the enemy, and they all fled in all directions.

Lu Bu recruited troops and horses into the city, and Liu Bei saw that the situation was critical and had no time to rush home. I had to abandon my wife and children, walk through the city, walk out of the west gate, and flee alone. Lu Bu rushed to Liu Bei's house, Mi Zhu greeted him, and said to Lu Bu: "I heard that the husband is not a wife. Today, he is fighting for the world with the general, Cao Gong'er. Xuande often remembers the grace of the halberd shooting, and does not dare to carry the general; Now he had no choice but to vote for Cao Gong, but the general took pity on him. ”

Lu Branger said: "I am an old friend of Xuande, how can I bear to harm his wife." ”

Lu Bu ordered Mi Zhu to lead Liu Bei's wife and children to Xuzhou to settle down. Lu Bu led the army to the border of Yanzhou, Shandong, and left Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to guard Xiaopei. At this time, Sun Qian had fled out of the city, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also collected some men and horses and went to live in the mountains.

Liu Bei fled on horseback, and was walking on the country road, when a person behind him arrived, and it turned out to be Sun Qian. Liu Bei sighed angrily: "My two brothers don't know how to survive, and their wives and children are separated, what can I do about it?" ”

Seeing that Liu Bei's tears were about to fall out as he spoke, Sun Qian suggested: "Why don't you vote for Cao Cao, in order to plan for the future." ”

Liu Bei followed what Sun Qian said, looking for a small way to invest in Xu Du. On the way, there was no food to eat several times, Liu Bei went to the village to ask for food, and the villagers heard that Liu Yuzhou had arrived, and they all rushed to offer food.

One day, Liu Bei went to a villager's house to stay, and a young man from his family came out to greet him, Liu Bei asked his name, and this person was a hunter named Liu An. Liu An heard that Liu Yuzhou was coming, and was ready to look for game to offer food to Liu Bei, but he couldn't hunt wild beasts for a while.

Liu An looked at his wife who was washing wild vegetables in the kitchen, hesitated for a while, and killed his wife with a kitchen knife. Liu An cooked his wife's meat in an earthen pot, and gave it to Liu Bei to eat when it was done.

Liu Bei smelled the aroma, ate a bowl of meat soup in a moment, and asked Liu Andao, "What kind of meat is this?" ”

Liu An smiled: "It's wolf meat." ”

Liu Bei then let go of his suspicions, had a full meal, and stayed at Liu An's house after dark. When he was ready to go to the backyard to get a horse, Liu Bei saw a woman killed in the kitchen, and the flesh on her arms and legs had been cut off.

Liu Bei was shocked and asked Liu An what was going on, only to know that the meat he ate last night was the meat of Liu An's wife. Liu Bei was sad and burst into tears, Liu Bei rode on a horse, and Liu An said to Liu Bei: "I wanted to follow the envoy, but because the old mother was in the hall, I didn't dare to travel far." ”

Liu Bei thanked him and said goodbye, and took the road out of Liangcheng. Suddenly, the dust covered the sun, and an army came. Liu Bei knew that it was Cao Cao's army, and went with Sun Qianjing to the banner of the Chinese army, met with Cao Cao, and told him about the loss of Peicheng, the separation of his second brother, and the trapping of his wife. Cao Cao expressed deep sympathy and comforted Liu Bei. Liu Bei pointed to the way he came and said: "There is a person named Liu An here, who killed his wife for food to save him, and he is a true righteous man!" ”

Cao Cao felt that Liu Bei and Liu An were ruthless enough, although eating human flesh often happened in wars, but he never ate it himself. Cao Cao ordered Sun Qian to reward Liu An with one hundred taels of gold.

What do you think of Liu Bei's eating human flesh? Liu Bei: "It's so fragrant! Liu An is really a righteous man! ”

Han Xuan clutched his stomach and vomited: "Liu An is really a beast!"
