It is said that Yuan Shu despised Liu Yu because of Liu Yu's 'lustful nature', and felt that Liu Yu was not afraid, so his attention to Liu Yu was re-transferred to Liu Bei and Lu Bu.

Yuan Shu is narrow-minded and has never forgotten to take Liu Bei's life.

Knowing that Liu Bei was a soldier Xiaopei, Yuan Shu wanted to crusade and kill Liu Bei, so he asked the strategist Yang Hong.

Yang Hong said: "Liu Bei is only a few thousand people, it is not difficult to get it, only Nalu Buhu saw Xuzhou, the previous time Xu gold and silver grain and horses, so far has not been sent to him, I am afraid that he will help Liu Bei." Today, when people send grain, gold and silver, in order to give their hearts, so that they will not move, then Liu Bei will be defeated, first punish Liu Bei, and then Tulu Bu, Xuzhou can also get it. ”

Yuan Shu was overjoyed, so he ordered someone to send 200,000 grains to Xuzhou to Lu Bu with letters.

After reading the letter and seeing so much grain and grass, Lu Bu was also extremely happy, and immediately promised never to send troops to help Liu Bei.

Yuan Shude Lu Bu promised, and immediately ordered Ji Ling to command 60,000 troops and attack Xiaopei.

Liu Bei only had more than 5,000 horses left, less than one-tenth of Yuan Shu's army, and when he learned that Ji Ling was about to lead the army, Liu Bei hurriedly discussed with everyone.

Zhang Fei was impatient and shouted that he was about to fight, but was stopped by Liu Bei.

Sun Gan said: "Lord, our Xiaopei is two outnumbered soldiers, and Yuan Shu's army is 60,000, ten times that of our Xiaopei, how can we be the enemy?" can repair the book and ask for help from Lu Bu. ”

As soon as he talked about Lu Bu, Zhang Fei's face was full of anger, and he said, "How can Lu Bu's guy be willing to come!" ”

Liu Bei ignored Zhang Fei, who else could he turn to except Lu Bu at the moment. Moreover, Liu Bei knew that as long as Lu Bu was not stupid, he definitely didn't want to see Xiao Pei taken by Yuan Shu.

Then he nodded in agreement with Sun Qian's words: "Qian's words are good, I will repair the book and ask Lu Bu for help." ”

Xuzhou City.

Lu Bu may have been a little stupid before, but this time his IQ is online, and he can even analyze it himself without Chen Gong's analysis: "Yuan Shu sent food to the book before, just to make me not save Xuandeye." Now Liu Bei came to ask for help again. I think Liu Bei Tunjun Xiaopei may not be my enemy; And if Yuan Shu destroys Liu Bei and occupies Xiaopei, then the generals of Taishan County in the north will try to me, and I can't rest in Xuzhou: Liu Bei should be saved to protect Xiaopei. ”

When Chen Gong heard Lu Bu's words, he was simply relieved, and felt that Lu Bu had finally begun to have some brains, and he was able to realize these by himself, so he said: "What the general said is very true, but if you send troops to save Liu Bei, it will not be easy for Yuan Shu to explain in front of you, unless you return the grain and grass to Yuan Shu?" ”

Lu Bu hesitated, 200,000 grains, this is the food that 30,000 troops can eat for two years, and return it to Yuan Shu, how can Lu Bu be reluctant. But if you don't retreat, aren't you a person of faith?

If it was before the Battle of Tiger Prison Pass, Lu Bu would not have considered whether he was dishonest at all, but at the beginning, Liu Bei said 'three surnames of domestic slaves', so that he has not been laughed at by the world, and after being driven out of Guanzhong by Li Dao and Guo Yan, the princes' distrust, and even scolded him in person for being a trustworthy and unrighteous person, all kinds of experiences made Lu Bu finally realize what it means to be a person who is not trustworthy and does not stand, Lu Bu began to pay more and more attention to credibility, and only hoped that one day he could save his reputation.

Therefore, if you send troops to save Liu Bei and do not return the food to Yuan Shu, it will be inappropriate and a dilemma.

Lu Bu's brows furrowed tightly, and suddenly, he laughed: "Hahahaha, I thought of a plan to make the two families stop the army and make peace, so as to save Liu Bei, and not lose faith in Yuan Shu, neither of them complains about me." ”

So, Lu Bu ordered 50,000 troops and rushed to Xiaopei.

It is said that Ji Ling led the army to camp under Xiaopei City and prepare to attack the city, but suddenly heard a report that Lu Bu had led the army to Xiaopei for ten miles.

Ji Ling believed that Lu Bu was here to save Liu Bei, and he was furious and sent a letter to send someone to scold Lu Bu for his lack of trust.

Lu Bu replied to appease, not dishonestly, and invited Ji Ling to come to the banquet, and invited Liu Bei as well.

Ji Ling went to Lu Bu's army, Liu Bei was already here, Ji Ling was startled, and thought that Lu Bu and Liu Bei were going to kill him, so he turned around in fear and wanted to escape, but was stopped by Lu Bu.

"The general wants to kill me?" Ji Ling asked angrily at Lu Bu.

Lu Bu shook his head: "No, I won't kill you." ”

Ji Ling wondered, was it to kill Liu Bei? Sui Xi asked, "Could it be to kill Liu Beihu?" ”

This time it was Liu Bei's turn to be frightened, his face was not obvious, but his heart was pounding, Zhang Fei and Guan Hai were standing on Liu Bei's side, Zhang Fei looked at Lu Bu angrily, and wanted to pounce on Lu Bu to fight him, but fortunately, Liu Bei stopped him in time.

Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Fei, snorted coldly, and then smiled at Liu Bei: "Xuande's original love for him, Bu has not forgotten it, and he is not trying to kill Xuande." ”

Liu Bei was immediately relieved, he knew that Lu Bu's words were definitely not false, but he didn't want to see him lose in the hands of Yuan Shu's army and lose Xiao Pei.

Ji Ling wondered, not to kill him, not to kill Liu Bei, could it be that Lu Bu led the army here just to have a banquet with him and Liu Bei, this kind of thing, he didn't believe it, so he stared at Lu Bu suspiciously.

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Bu Pingsheng is not aggressive, but he is good at fighting." I am here to resolve the fight between the two families. I have a law, and I will decide from heaven. ”

Ji Ling was not angry, thinking that Lu Bu was just trying to play tricks, and asked, "How can you decide from the sky?" ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "Yuanmen shoots the halberd, Yuanmen is one hundred and fifty steps away from the Chinese army, if I shoot an arrow into the halberd branch, then your two families will strike the army, if the shot is not successful, you go back to the camp and arrange a fight, I will never interfere, there are those who do not obey my words, I will refuse." ”

Ji Ling thought to himself: "At a distance of one hundred and fifty steps, how can you shoot the small branch of the halberd, it should be Lu Bu who shirked Liu Bei and asked for help." ”

After thinking about it, Ji Ling promised.

Liu Bei's face was waxy, in this case, no matter how unwilling he was, what could he do, his demeanor must be maintained, so he also promised, and said secretly in his heart: "I only hope that Lu Bu can really shoot." ”

Lu Bu sat down, each with a glass of wine, and after Lu Bu drank a cup of himself, he ordered someone to get a bow and arrow.

I saw Lu Bu get up, roll up the sleeves of his robe, bend his bow and set up an arrow, and shoot an arrow, and he actually drew a halberd branch one hundred and fifty steps away, which can really be described as a god of archery, and everyone was shocked.

Liu Bei was relieved, but it was Ji Ling's turn to turn waxy.

Thinking of the previous promise, Ji Ling wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry, silently half a sound, and only said: "The general is brave, Ji Ling is not as good as himself, I dare not listen to the general's words, how can Ji Ling withdraw his troops and go back, how can the lord be willing to believe it?" ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "It's okay, I just send a letter to the book and explain, and I won't blame the general." ”

Ji Ling was helpless, with Lu Bu and 50,000 troops here, it was impossible to attack Liu Bei, so he could only withdraw the army first. And Liu Bei, thanks Lu Bu, and after drinking a few wines with Lu Bu, returned to Xiaopei, and Lu Bu also led the army back to Xuzhou.

Yuanmen shot the halberd, Lu Bu saved Liu Bei, and he didn't have to return Yuan Shu's 200,000 grains, it seemed that he had both fish and bear's paws, he was happy, but he made Huainan Shouchun's Yuan Shu angry.

Yuan Shu scolded, so angry that he almost wanted to raise an army to recruit Liu Bei again, and also to ask Lu Bu, and destroy the two equally hateful guys together.

Fortunately, Yang Hong persuaded Yuan Shu, and gave Yuan Shu a plan, which was to marry Lu Bu and marry Lu Bu's daughter for his son.

Yuan Shu was about to become the emperor, thinking that when the time came, it would be a big help to have Lu Bu as his aid, so he agreed.

Not to mention that the two families have experienced marriage turmoil, and Yuan Shu is prepared to be the emperor.

Xu Du.

Cao Cao was discussing with the generals to conquer Xuzhou again, but suddenly heard that Zhang Ji's nephew Zhang Xiu, inheriting the soldiers and horses left behind by Zhang Ji after his death, took Jia Xu as his military advisor, connected with Liu Biao, and stationed troops in Wancheng, wanting to raise troops to offend Xu Du to seize the holy car.

Wancheng is only more than 300 miles away from Xudu, how can Cao Cao allow such a threat to covet Xudu, so he angrily raised 150,000 troops and personally recruited Zhang Xiu.

It is said that Zhang Ji was so frightened by Li Dao and Guo Yan that he led troops out of Guanzhong and stationed in Hongnong County.

However, Hongnong County is located between Luoyang and Guanzhong, when Dong Zhuo moved westward, a large number of Hongnong people moved into Guanzhong, and after successive wars and bandits, Hongnong County was sparsely populated, and it was difficult to support tens of thousands of troops of Zhang Ji.

Finally forbearance for two years, in the case of a lack of food, sent troops south to plunder Jingzhou, in the attack on the city, the middle arrow died, Zhang Xiu inherited the 40,000 troops left after the death of Zhang Ji, and was attracted by Liu Biao, given grain and grass, and under the arrangement of Liu Biao stationed in Wancheng, north refers to Yuzhou, coerced Xu Du.

Speaking of which, Liu Biao has always been dissatisfied with Cao Cao's coercion of the Son of Heaven to make the princes, and always plots to save the Son of Heaven from Cao Cao, Zhang Xiu is undoubtedly a force that is not weak, and winning over Zhang Xiu can greatly increase Liu Biao's strength and really threaten Cao Cao.

Jingzhou is vast, and far away from Yan and Henan, Cao Cao faced the threat of Yuan Shao in the north, Yuan Shu in the south, and Lu Bu in the east.

Zhang Xiu only had an army of 40,000, how could he be able to defeat Cao Cao's 150,000 male soldiers, even if he held Wancheng, it was not reliable enough.

Jia Xu offered a plan to Zhang Xiu: "Just raise the crowd to surrender to Cao Cao, anyway, there is not much difference between Liu Biao and Cao Cao." ”

Zhang Xiu thought about it, he couldn't fight it, and he had to have enough grain and grass in the city to defend the city, otherwise he wouldn't be able to hold it for too long.

Immediately, Zhang Xiu surrendered directly to Cao Cao without fighting.

Cao Cao only felt that Zhang Xiu was frightened by himself, he was really powerful, he couldn't help but be proud in his heart, and looked down on Zhang Xiu in his heart, thinking that Zhang Xiu was just a cowardly person, and he didn't take Zhang Xiu in his eyes at all, and naturally he didn't respect Zhang Xiu much.

One day, Cao Cao drank a lot of wine, and suddenly saw a woman born very beautiful, and under the heartbeat, people inquired that it was Zhang Xiu's uncle, the dead Zhang Ji's wife Zou.

Cao Cao has always behaved extremely lascivious, he and Liu Yu's performance is as blatant, the princes laugh at Liu Yu, and they also laugh at Cao Cao, invisibly Cao Cao's defense is much lax, and he despises a lot, if it is not for contempt, as early as when Cao Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu couldn't help but jointly crusade against him.

Whether he is really lustful, or in order to continue to confuse the princes, Cao Cao has to continue his lustful behavior.

There are both beauties and widows, and they don't sleep at this time, but when they stay.

Cao Cao did not hesitate to order Cao Anmin to lead fifty armor soldiers and forcibly bring the Zou family over.

is not verbose, let alone the dead Zhang Ji, and the face of the newly descended Zhang Xiu, he immediately slept with the Zou family, and sang songs for several days and nights.

Zhang Xiu was furious: "I am willing to suffer such a shame and humiliation!" ”

He is the general of the defeated army, Cao Cao has a lot of contempt for his words and deeds, he can bear it, but his uncle Zhang Ji is very kind to him, Zou is the wife of his uncle Zhang Ji, and he is his aunt, but Cao Cao ignores his dead uncle Zhang Ji and his face and shame, which can be described as a great shame.

Cao Cao is not only contemptuous, but also trampling on dignity and personality, and if he continues like this, I am afraid that sooner or later he will be killed by Cao Cao.

Jia Xu sighed, it is also shameful for Cao Cao to act like this, if this continues, Cao Cao will indeed kill Zhang Xiu sooner or later, in order to prevent future troubles, and he Jia Xu will not be taken seriously, and even when Cao Cao kills Zhang Xiu, he will kill him too.

In this way, Cao Ying can't stay for a long time.

Jia Xu had already made a decision in his heart, he said to Zhang Xiu: "General, calm your anger, this matter must not be revealed, now Cao Cao has moved to the village outside the city, and there is a fierce general Dian Wei Suwei, it is very difficult to get it, if you want to oppose Cao, I have a plan!" ”

Zhang Xiu then conspired with Jia Xu to make a plan.

Cao Cao may have thought that Zhang Xiu might rebel against him, but he boasted that he was a fierce general under his command, and there were 150,000 troops, and he did not take Zhang Xiu's 40,000 troops in his eyes.

Cao Cao was very conceited and proud, but it was a pity that he ignored Jia Xu, a poisoner who was wiser than Guo Jia and Zhuge Liang around Zhang Xiu, and he was destined to pay a heavy price for it.

Cao Cao played overturned.

On this day, Zhang Xiu made preparations according to Jia Xu's strategy, and after stealing Dian Wei's weapons, he suddenly started an incident, and 40,000 troops rushed to Cao Cao's army to kill.

When Cao Cao heard the news, he was shocked and urgently called Dian Wei.

However, Dian Wei's weapons were stolen, and he was so angry that he did not wear armor, and was besieged by a large number of Zhang Xiu soldiers, and it was difficult to break through the siege to protect Cao Cao for a while.

Dian Wei did have the courage of 10,000 people, but the good use of weapons was stolen, causing his strength to drop by seven or eight percent, after killing more than 80 Zhang Xiujun soldiers with his bare hands, he finally exhausted his strength, first was shot by a bow and arrow several arrows, and was shot through the chest, fell in front of the gate of the village and died.

Zhang Xiu's army broke through the gate of the village and went straight to Cao Cao's tent.

Cao Cao's Lai Dianwei blocked the gate of the village for a period of time, and was able to escape from the rear, but before he left the camp, he was caught up by Zhang Xiu's army, and he didn't let go, and his nephew Cao Anmin, who protected the side, returned to the horse to block the pursuers, and was cut into meat paste by a knife in an instant, and Cao Cao was so frightened that he rushed wildly.

In the rear, arrows were repeated, and although Cao Cao himself dodged a few arrows, the war horse he sat on fell to the ground with two arrows.

"Father, use the child's horse, and the child will block the pursuers for you." Cao Ang gave his war horse to Cao Cao, and after Cao Cao rode on, he continued to gallop and flee, while Cao Ang, the eldest son who gave up his war horse, also followed in Cao Anmin's footsteps and was hacked to death with a knife.

Cao Cao fled for more than an hour before he could escape, met the generals on the way, and collected the remnants of the soldiers who were scattered by Zhang Xiu.

After the first battle, Cao Cao lost 50,000 soldiers, if it was not for the rebellion to reorganize the army, intercept and repel Zhang Xiu, Cao Cao would have lost more soldiers. The loss of soldiers is still secondary, thousands of troops are easy to get, one general is hard to find, the death of the general Dian Wei, the death of the most important eldest son Cao Ang, and the death of his nephew Cao Anmin made Cao Cao want to cry without tears.

Zhang Xiu has already voted for Liu Biao again, and with the only remaining 100,000 defeated troops, it is impossible to go to Jingzhou to kill Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao.

Cao Cao was helpless, and after shooting sacrifices to Dian Wei, Cao Ang, and Cao Anmin, he led the defeated army back to Xudu.
