Chapter 699: Except for Lu
Lu Bu's family history is probably like this, relying on capriciousness and devouring the master behind his back, he finally seems to have established a foothold.
However, he didn't know that at this time, he had already laid a curse for himself. Lu Bu's good days are numbered. Because he offended Liu Bei, and Cao Cao was about to come to a duel with him.
The two people in the world who touted each other as heroes were here to deal with him, how good could he be?
Last year, July. Li Dao and Guo Yan rushed to the emperor, and Emperor Han Xian returned from Chang'an to the east, passing through Hedong, and there was originally an edict to make Lu Bu welcome.
However, because Lü Bu's army did not have enough food to serve the king, Lü Bu sent a messenger to apologize. The imperial court could not blame, and in order to appease him, it appointed Lü Bu as the general of Pingdong and the Marquis of Pingtao.
sealed Lu Bu's official, but the emperor had nothing left, so he could only flee in all directions until he met Ritsukagawa.
At this time, the world is still in chaos. When Lu Xiangchuan was farming in Anyi, Yuan Shu sent the general Ji Ling to lead a total of more than 30,000 horses to conquer Liu Bei.
Liu Bei asked Lü Bu for help. Lu Bu's generals said: "General, you have always wanted to get rid of Liu Bei, and now you can use Yuan Shu's hand to get rid of him." ”
Lu Bu said: "That's not the case, if Yuan Shu occupies Xiaopei, he will unite the troops around Mount Tai in the north, and we will be surrounded by Yuan Shu, I can't help but save Liu Bei." ”
So Lu Bu led 1,000 infantry and 200 cavalry, and hurried to Xiaopei to rescue Liu Bei.
When Ji Ling and the others heard that Lu Bu had come to the rescue of Liu Bei, they had no choice but to withdraw their troops and did not dare to act rashly.
Lu Bu set up camp one mile southwest of Xiaopei, and sent guards to invite Ji Ling and other generals to come to his side and drink together.
Lu Bu said to Ji Ling and the others: "Xuande, is my Lu Bu's virtuous brother. Now that he is surrounded by all of you, I have come to save him. I, Lu Bu, don't like to watch others fight each other, I only like to resolve disputes for others. ”
While speaking, Lu Bu ordered the gate to erect a halberd in the camp gate, and said to everyone: "Everyone, please look, I am going to shoot the small branch on the halberd now, if it is fired, you should immediately stop the attack, leave here, if you miss, then you will stay and fight Liu Bei to the death." ”
With that, he drew his bow and shot an arrow at the halberd, which happened to hit the small branch. The generals were shocked and praised one after another: "General, you really have the power of a god!" ”
The next day, Lü Bu had a feast with the generals, and then returned to their respective troops.
At this time, Lu Bu still had prestige, but in June of this year, because of Cao Cao's attack on Anyi, Lu Xiangchuan led his men and horses to Jingzhou to temporarily avoid Cao Cao's edge.
On Lü Bu's side, Lü Bu's general, Hao Meng, a native of Hanoi, at the instigation of Yuan Shu, launched a rebellion and led his troops to attack Lü Buzhi's Xiapi.
Fortunately, the defense of Xiapi City was strong, and the rebels could not attack for a while, Lu Bu did not know who was rebelling, so he was frightened and led his family to flee to the Gaoshun camp.
When he arrived at Gao Shun's camp, Gao Shun asked, "Does the general really not know who is against him?" ”
Lu Bu replied: "It seems that I heard the voice of the Hanoi people." ”
Gao guessed that it was Hao Meng who rebelled, so he led his troops to Xiapi to quell the rebellion, fired bows and crossbows, shot Hao Meng's army, and returned to the camp at dawn.
Lu Bu asked the people around him about the origin of the incident, and the people around him replied: "Hao Meng was instigated by Yuan Shu to rebel. ”
Lu Bu asked again: "Who are the accomplices?" ”
Who would dare to say this? It's just that Chen Gong was sitting next to Lu Bu at that time, his face was different, although Lu Bu was aware, but because Chen Gong was a general, he didn't pursue it.
At this time, Lu Bu's situation was already a little bad, and the people around him were not monolithic.
In September, Lu Bu felt that his power was too weak, so he wanted to unite others outward and strengthen his own strength, and it happened that Yuan Shu also wanted to expand, so he intended to connect with Lu Bu and let him use it for himself.
So he proposed to Lu Bu that his son marry Lu Bu's daughter, and Lu Bu agreed.
Yuan Shu then sent Han Yin as an envoy to ask Lü Bu to take Lü Bu's daughter and his son to complete the marriage.
Peixiang Chen Qi was worried that Yuan Shu and Lu Bu would become in-laws, and Xuzhou and Yangzhou would be united, which would endanger the country, so he went to lobby Lu Bu and said: "Cao Cao is powerful and very strategic, general, you should cooperate with him to achieve peace in the world." And if you and Yuan Shu become in-laws, something is not good. Yuan Shu is a kind of person who is short-sighted, and I heard that he still has the ambition to be the emperor, and sooner or later he will be spurned by the world. Then the situation will be against you. ”
said a few words, Lu Bu's heart was uncertain. Thinking about it, Yuan Shu didn't accept himself at the beginning, and he was angry again. At this time, his daughter had already left with Han Yin, but Lu Bu still sent someone to chase her back and refused this family business.
At this time, Cao Cao's envoy arrived again, saying that the two of them could cooperate, and Cao Cao could also give up his Yanzhou pastor. Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, and sent Chen Deng to contact Cao Cao.
At this time, Lu Bu didn't know that something was wrong, because Cao Cao had already begun to prepare and make a move on him at this time.
When Cao Cao was chasing Emperor Xian, in Liu Biao's Jingzhou, after eating the deflated Luxiangchuan, he put down all other miscellaneous matters to concentrate on dealing with him.
The benefits that Cao Cao promised to Lu Bu were just a delaying tactic. It was a strategy he used specifically to deal with Lu Bu.
Chen Deng went to see Cao Cao, and after arriving in Xuchang, he told Lu Bu about his shortcomings of bravery, resourcefulness, and capriciousness, and hoped that Cao Cao would get rid of him as soon as possible.
Cao Cao said: "Lu Bu is a person with wolf ambitions, and he really can't let him stay in the world for a long time, of course you are the most familiar with the inside story." ”
Immediately raised Chen Qi's annual salary to 2,000 stones, and appointed Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling. When parting, Cao Cao took Chen Deng's hand and said, "The affairs of the east will be entrusted to you." ”
They are here, even if they have made a plan to get rid of Lu Bu, but Lu Bu still doesn't know about it.
After Chen Deng returned to Xuzhou, he privately divided Lu Bu's team and made an internal response for Cao Cao.
At the beginning, Lü Bu wanted to ask Cao Cao for the post of Xuzhou Assassin through Chen Deng, but after Chen Deng returned, Lü Bu saw that his wish could not be realized, so he was furious, pulled out his halberd and chopped the table, and said: "Your father persuaded me to cooperate with Cao Gong, so I rejected Yuan Shu's marriage offer; And now I have gained nothing, but your father and son have a prominent position, and I have been betrayed by you! Tell me, what did you say for me in front of Cao Gong? ”
Chen Deng's face did not change, and he replied calmly: "When I saw Cao Cao, I said to him: 'Treat you, the general, like a tiger, and let him be fed, if he is not full, he will eat people.'" Cao Gong said: "It's not like you said, it's more like raising an eagle for Lu Bu, you can use it when you're hungry, and when you're full, you'll fly away by yourself." That's what we talk about you. Lu Bu's anger calmed down.
After some rhetoric, Lu Bu was deceived by Chen Deng like this.
The two sides of them, at this time, you come and go, each making plans, but Ritsu Kagawa is watching from the side, sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.
