It is said that after Cao Cao forcibly moved Emperor Han Xian to Xudu, he deeply felt that Liu Bei and Lü Bu jointly stationed troops in Xuzhou, which was a great threat, and wanted to get rid of Liu Bei and Lü Bu, and convened the generals to discuss.

Xu Chuhu walked out with vigor and asked for his life: "The prime minister only needs to give 50,000 elite soldiers, and the last general can take Xuzhou and behead Lu Bu and Liu Bei." ”

Cao Cao naturally won't take such tyrannical words seriously, but it is worth encouraging.

Xun Yu shook his head and smiled: "General Xu Chu is brave, but he doesn't know how to use it!" Today, Xu Du is newly determined, His Majesty and civil and military officials are just safe, and it is really not suitable to use troops at the moment. Yu has a plan, which can make Lu Bu and Liu Bei fight against each other, and the prime minister can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just wait for the two tigers to be defeated, and they can be easily destroyed. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed and asked, "What is the plan?" ”

Xun Yu said with a smile: "Although Liu Bei led Xuzhou, he did not get the official edict of the imperial court. The prime minister can help Liu Bei to ask for an edict, give Xuzhou the post of pastor, and write a secret letter to teach Liu Bei to kill Lu Bu. If the matter is successful, Liu Bei will no longer be supplemented by invincible warriors like Lu Bu, and Xuzhou can also do it. If it doesn't work out, Lu Bu will also kill Liu Bei, and the two tigers will compete! ”

Cao Cao laughed: "Okay, good, this plan is wonderful!" ”

Then he 'invited' the edict of the Son of Heaven and sent an envoy to Xuzhou to summon Liu Bei.

……

Liu Bei in Xuzhou suddenly heard that the 'imperial court' had an angel coming, immediately went out of the city to greet the envoy, and received the edict, Liu Bei was overjoyed, and from then on he was the righteous Xuzhou pastor, and set up a banquet to entertain the messenger.

During the banquet, the envoy suddenly said to Liu Bei: "The prince has obtained this edict, but the prime minister is trying his best to protect it in front of the Son of Heaven." ”

Liu Bei sneered in his heart, Cao Cao's self-appointed prime minister was no different from Dong Zhuo at the beginning, the Son of Heaven was just Cao Cao's puppet, and it was a joke to say anything, but it was just Cao Cao's wooing.

However, Liu Bei didn't show it at all, but looked like he suddenly realized, and thanked him again and again.

At this time, the messenger took out the secret letter and handed it to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei looked at it, his eyes flashed imperceptibly, and he didn't express his position at the beginning, but said: "This matter is still ready to be discussed." ”

The envoy was not in a hurry, and after the banquet was over, he rested in the post house and waited patiently.

Liu Bei consulted with Lu Zhu, Zhang Fei, Guan Hai, Sun Qian and others overnight.

Zhang Fei was the most anxious, he had long wanted to kill Lu Bu, so he shouted: "Lu Bu is an unrighteous person, kill him!" ”

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "It's not good." Lu Bu came to me when he was poor, and I have already taken him in, if I want to kill him now, wouldn't it be untrustworthy and unrighteous? ”

Zhang Fei hurriedly said: "Big brother, it's hard to be a good person, so you should kill Lu Bu!" ”

Liu Bei resolutely shook his head and refused, in fact, Liu Bei has been thinking about one day being able to recruit Lu Bu, the world's number one general, and he is confident that he has the opportunity to 'move' Lu Bu, just like he 'moved' Zhang Fei back then.

The next day, Lu Bu heard that Liu Bei had been officially appointed as the pastor of Xuzhou by the imperial court, so he came to congratulate him, and also to bring the relationship between the two parties closer, after all, he is now attached to Liu Bei, and Lu Bu is not a little moved by Liu Bei's ability to contain him.

After Lu Bu entered the hall, he smiled at Liu Bei and said, "Wen Gong received the official order of the imperial court, and Bute came to congratulate him!" ”

Liu Bei thanked him and asked Lu Bu to rest, and he would set up a banquet to entertain Lu Bu.

"Lu Bu suffers death!" At this moment, something unexpected happened to Liu Bei, Zhang Fei rushed in with a weapon and led hundreds of people to kill Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was shocked, his face turned blue, and he thought that Liu Bei really wanted to kill him, if he was young, with his temper, he would have drawn his sword and killed Liu Bei first, and then fought with Zhang Fei.

However, after going through so many things, Lu Bu was far more forbearant and mature than back then, he suppressed his impulse and only asked first: "Yide, Xuande, why do you want to kill me?" ”

Zhang Fei shouted loudly: "Cao Cao said that you are an unrighteous person, teach my brother to kill you!" ”

Lu Bu was so angry that he couldn't help but make trouble and fight to the death with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei shouted to stop Zhang Fei.

"Third brother, don't come nonsense, don't put away your weapons yet!" Liu Bei also had some cold sweat on his forehead, Zhang Fei was brave, and he brought hundreds of people, plus there were a large number of guards in the mansion, maybe he could leave Lu Bu if he wanted to do it, but Lu Bu was the first fierce general in the world, and he was only a few meters away from Lu Bu......

What's more, he also wanted to 'move' Lu Bu one day and let Lu Bu serve him sincerely, how could he let Zhang Fei come now.

After drinking Zhang Fei, Liu Bei also pulled Lu Bu into the back hall with an apologetic face, told Cao Cao in detail the reasons for Cao Cao's killing, and also looked at Cao Cao's secret letter with Lu Bu.

After reading it, Lu Bu rolled his eyes and scolded angrily: "This is Cao Thief's desire to make you and me discordant!" ”

Liu Bei also said sincerely: "What Brother Lu said is exact. How could I, Liu Bei, be deceived by Cao Cao, and swear not to do such unrighteous things, Brother Lu, don't blame me, Liu Bei is. ”

No matter what Lu Bu thinks in his heart at the moment, after all, this is Liu Bei's mansion, with Zhang Fei and a large number of guards, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to turn his face with Liu Bei, besides, he is really not a fool, Cao Cao's plan to divide the sky, he can still see it.

Lu Bu first thanked him again and again, and then said seemingly very sincerely: "Since it is Cao Cao's treacherous scheme, how can you blame Xuande Gong." ”

Liu Bei then invited Lu Bu to drink in order to dispel the suspicion between the two.

The two seemed to have a wine banquet and had no suspicions, and Lu Bu didn't leave Xuzhou City until the evening, but after leaving the city, Lu Bu turned his head and stared at the direction of Xuzhou City with a gloomy face and snorted coldly.

Lu Bu had no opinion on Liu Bei, and he was indeed a little grateful to Liu Bei in his heart. But Zhang Fei is Liu Bei's sworn brother, and he and Zhang Fei not only have the sentence 'three surnames of domestic slaves' in the tiger prison back then, so that he is still ridiculed by the world, and the princes do not trust him. What's more, Zhang Fei blatantly wants to kill him, he feels that if he continues like this, sooner or later he will die because of Zhang Fei.

If he has the chance, he should find another way!

Xuzhou City.

Zhang Feiyin endured a sulky stomach, and drank a lot of stuffy wine at the banquet just now, and he was a little angry, as soon as Lu Bu left, he couldn't help but ask Liu Bei: "Why didn't my brother kill Lu Bu?" ”

Of course, Liu Bei would not say that he had the idea of beating Lu Bu, and he was even more afraid that Lu Bu would kill him, so he only said: "This is because Cao Cao is afraid that I and Lu Bu will join forces with him, so he uses this plan to divide and make the two of us annex each other, so that he can profit from it, how can I be instructed by him to make a big mistake?" ”

Zhang Fei didn't want to hear this, from the beginning when he angrily scolded Lu Bu as a 'three-surnamed house slave', you can know how bad his impression of Lu Bu is in his heart, how much he doesn't believe in Lu Bu's character, and he always feels that sooner or later, Lu Bu will one day rebel against his eldest brother Liu Bei like Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.

Zhang Fei was unconvinced: "I don't care too much, I just want to kill Lu Bu to prevent future troubles!" ”
