Chapter 227 Liu Bei's dilemma

Liu Bei received Cao Cao...... Oh no, after the imperial court's edict, the original plan to crusade against Cao Cao was shattered; He prides himself on being a loyal minister of the Han family, and since the imperial court has issued an edict for him to crusade against the traitor Yuan Shu, is it difficult for him to refuse?

"Damn, I was going to contact Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu to crusade against Cao Cao, but I didn't expect it to become such a situation!"

Liu Bei held the edict, his hands trembled uncontrollably, he was angry, why did Cao Cao have so many strategists to give him advice? Why did Cao Cao get close to Luoyang, allowing him to seize the opportunity? originally thought that after Xun Gang surrendered, no one could restrain him, who would have thought that there would be another big man on his head?

He passed the edict to everyone to watch, and the strategist Chen Deng said: "Huainan Yuan Shu's soldiers are full of food, and I have been in Xuzhou for many years of war, and the soldiers and horses are tired, how can I go to war without permission?" Why don't you say no! ”

"After all, it is the edict of the imperial court!" Liu Bei was extremely helpless, looked at Guan Zhang and the others on the side, and said: "What's more, Huainan Yuan Shu has always had the heart of arrogance, and this time he went to worry about the king." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Cao Cao's plan in the lord is also!"

"Why don't you know? But the will of God is not violated! ”

Chen Deng stopped talking, because he knew that Liu Bei regarded the so-called holy will and integrity as more important than life, even if it was Cao Cao's strategy, but because it could not be issued in the form of a holy decree, how could Liu Bei refuse? After thinking about it, it seems that he can only send troops to fight against Yuan Shu, but this is a logistical matter......

"The only thing I am worried about is who guards Xuzhou?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Zhang and the others, as if he was deciding who to guard Xuzhou; He didn't plan to hand it over to Chen Deng and Chen Qi to these old people in Xuzhou, after all, these people were thinking about the interests of their own families, and if they surrendered at that time, they wouldn't even have a place to complain.

Guan Yu said: "Why don't you come to guard Xuzhou." ”

"No, no, I need to discuss the military discussion with Yun Chang every day......"

Zhang Fei laughed: "Didn't the eldest brother say that I came to guard Xuzhou?" Let's go, this time I will hand over the matter of killing the enemy to the second brother, and come to guard Xuzhou! ”

Liu Bei shook his head again: "Yide, you are greedy for a cup and mistaken things, how can you teach Xuzhou to deal with it?" ”

"A certain abstinence from alcohol is!"

"Do you dare to make a military order?"

"Why don't you dare?"

Liu Bei seemed to nod with satisfaction, but he still seemed to have some doubts in his heart, after all, how could this drunkard say that he would quit drinking? He ordered Chen Deng to stay as a lieutenant and supervise Zhang Fei's every move; Although Chen Deng agreed, he was also full of helplessness, you must know that if you can hold down Zhang Fei, I am afraid that there are only two of you brothers in the whole Xuzhou!

Liu Bei ordered 20,000 troops, marched all the way to Huainan, and marched all the way, after all, Yuan Shu would not have thought that Liu Bei would suddenly attack him. And he is as arrogant as Yuan Shu, thinking that he is invincible in the world, thinking that Liu Bei will surrender himself sooner or later, how can he attack himself?

Therefore, in the face of Xuzhou's defense facilities, they are quite dilapidated, and it can even be said that Liu Bei's hair has not been moved.

However, the advantage was often only short-lived, and the advantage of Yuan Shu's strength became more and more obvious after Liu Bei went deeper and deeper. He asked Zhang Xun to lead 50,000 troops to come to crusade against Liu Bei, Liu Bei fought a few battles with him, although each had a victory or defeat, and beheaded several enemy generals, but the soldiers gradually ran out, and had to start preparing to withdraw the army.

And at this moment, the unexpected happened.

As expected at the beginning, Zhang Fei held a banquet on the night of Liu Bei's expedition, saying that he would quit drinking from the next day, but Chen Deng would not listen to anything. And Zhang Fei happened to hear that Mi Zhu's family had Xun Gang's wine, which was a delicacy that drunkards all over the world were looking forward to, so he immediately asked Mi Zhu to take three jars. After three cups, Zhang Fei really went crazy again, and when he saw that Cao Bao didn't drink, he thought that he wouldn't give him face, so he couldn't help but say that it was a whipping.

Cao Bao was originally Tao Qian's subordinate, and he originally planned to focus on Xun Gang, but who would have thought that Xuzhou would be handed over to Liu Bei by Xun Gang? This whipping made Cao Bao hold a grudge, and because Lu Bu's second wife was his daughter, he secretly contacted Xiao Pei's Lu Bu and asked him to take advantage of Zhang Fei's drunkenness to enter the city overnight and take Xuzhou. Seeing such a good opportunity, Chen Gong hurriedly asked Lu Bu to pick up Cao Bao, and with only 3,000 soldiers and horses, he completely conquered Xuzhou, which was heavily defended.

As for Zhang Fei...... I have to say that it is quite sad. Because Xun Gang's wine was stronger than the wine he usually drank, Zhang Fei was drunk and fell into the government hall, and he didn't hear the sound of the war horses outside seeing him. And his enemy Cao Bao took this opportunity to cut off Zhang Fei's head with a knife.

Poor Zhang Fei was forcibly written to death by the author before he had time to become famous...... Oh no, he was beheaded by the villain, sad and painful! If it weren't for the wine brewed by Xun Gang, how could he have lost his life so early?

However, Zhang Fei in history was still killed by Fan Jiang and Zhang Da, the reason was also because he whipped the soldiers, which eventually led to his own death; Now that he has been killed by Cao Bao, it must also be karma......

Liu Bei received a report from the soldiers who fled from Xuzhou, Lu Bu attacked Xuzhou at night, Zhang Fei was killed by the enemy Cao Bao, and immediately was shocked and cried bitterly: "Third brother! I can't imagine that Xuzhou will be separated forever! ”

Guan Yu is also heartbroken, how can a tiger general die at the hands of a villain? The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, holding back the tears in his eyes, and shouted: "Big brother, you and I will enter Xuzhou City to avenge the third brother!" ”

Although Liu Bei is usually good at disguise, his love for his brother is genuine, as soon as Zhang Fei dies, why doesn't he want to take revenge immediately, otherwise how can he be worthy of the oath of Taoyuan back then? But looking at the troops who were running out of food, and because of the low morale after learning about the fall of Xuzhou, how could such an army beat Lu Bu?

"Yun Chang, even if he wants to avenge Yide, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength! Now that Xuzhou has all fallen into the hands of Lu Bu, and there are Yuan Shu's soldiers and horses behind him, we are gradually in danger. If you go to attack Lu Bu at this moment, you will inevitably be attacked from both sides! ”

Guan Yu threw the blade of the sword in his hand into the ground with hatred, he didn't resent Liu Bei's weakness, after all, what he said was the truth. It's just that he can't avenge Zhang Fei immediately, he hates himself for being incompetent!

"Big brother, how should I wait now?"

"Let's go to Guangling first...... Liu Bei wiped away his tears and calmly analyzed, "Guangling is in the far area of Xuzhou, and it should not have been controlled by Lu Bu yet; The food and grass here are enough for us to spend a while for the time being, and the rest will be discussed later......"

"It's all up to my brother!"

It's a pity that the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and after Yuan Shu learned the news that Lu Bu had attacked Xuzhou, he immediately sent an envoy with 30,000 grains to form an alliance with Lu Bu and attack Liu Bei. After all, Yuan Shu really couldn't swallow the breath of being defeated by this shoe-buying boy, and Lu Bu also regarded Liu Bei as a big problem, so he asked Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to send troops to attack Liu Bei.

Liu Bei had just arrived in Guangling, and three days later he was surrounded by Yuan Shu's army. This time, Yuan Shu asked Zhang Xun and other generals to bring out 100,000 soldiers and horses, and it seemed that he planned to defeat Liu Bei in one fell swoop; And Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's soldiers and horses also arrived, and surrounded Guangling with three layers inside and three layers outside, and Liu Bei was extremely desperate to see it.

"I, Liu Xuande, am I destined to die here today?"

Liu Bei didn't have any reinforcements, after all, he didn't have any friendship with Sun Quan in Jiangdong, and even if he did, the letter asking for help couldn't be sent, and this Guangling really became a dead place. But Guan Yu did not despair, but said to Liu Bei: "Big brother, I'll wait for a breakthrough!" Yun Chang will definitely protect the safety of the big brother! ”

"Escape...... Liu Bei smiled bitterly, looked at the black-pressed soldiers, and said helplessly: "Where can I escape?" ”

This place is bordered by the sea in the east, Surabaya in the south, Yuan Shu in the west, and Lu Bu in the north, where can you escape?

Guan Yu racked his brains and finally came up with an extremely difficult decision: "Big brother, I'll wait...... Let's go and take refuge in Lu Bu! ”

"Lu Bu?"

Liu Bei was shocked and said angrily: "He killed my third brother, and now he has joined Yuan Shu to besiege me, and I go to him to take refuge, which is not only unjustifiable, but also self-defeating!" If I want to avenge Yide, how can I be under Lu Bu? ”

"It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, I am grateful to Lu Bu, how can I harm him this time?" Why didn't Guan Yu want to kill Lu Bu to avenge Zhang Fei? But at this time and that time, if you can't even save your life, how can you talk about revenge? "If he shelters me, I'll contact Cao Cao again and ask him to come and help......"

"This ......"

Liu Bei hesitated, but now that the breakthrough was urgent, he gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Just Yiyunchang's words!" At the very least, I have to make Cao Bao pay with his life! ”
