The 228th Hongmen Banquet

That night, Liu Bei fled from the West Gate under the cover of Guan Yu, and after some hard fighting, the remaining 10,000 people were left with only three or four thousand, which can be described as a heavy loss. www.biquge.info Liu Bei knew that this was because Yuan Shu had many soldiers and horses in his hands, and if he encountered Cao Cao's 100,000 troops, he was afraid that more than 10,000 people would not be enough for him to plug his teeth.

Liu Bei fled all the way east, and on the way met Mi Zhu, Mi Fang, Sun Gan and others who escaped from Xuzhou. Liu Bei remembered the death of his third brother, and came from grief, and asked: "Even though my brother is drunk, his courage is still there, how can he not stop Cao Bao?" ”

Mi Zhu said that Zhang Fei "borrowed" a few jars of wine from his own house, and this wine was made by Xun Gang, the degree was amazing, Zhang Fei, who was in contact with this kind of alcohol for the first time, drank too much and was drunk like mud for a while, so he fell asleep on the banquet hall, and never thought that Cao Bao remembered the matter of whipping, and when Lu Bu arrived at night, he took advantage of the chaos to kill Zhang Fei.

"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother!"

Liu Bei's regret was too late, but his grief and indignation could not wake Zhang Fei up; He looked at Dongfang angrily, and put all the blame on Xun Gang, if he hadn't brewed this strange wine, how could Zhang Fei have been killed?

Guan Yu looked up to the sky and sighed, but asked again: "Where are Chen Deng and Chen Jue?" ”

"On the day Lu Bu broke the city, the two of them demoted Lu Bu and reinstated as officials."

Guan Yu hated the two-faced and three-faced people, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "The third brother was killed, and the eldest brother was almost killed, but the two of them surrendered to enjoy Qingfu, but my eldest brother is suffering outside!" It's angry, it's angry! ”

"Yun Changxiu wants to speak like this! His Chen family is a Xuzhou wang family, and the elders of the family are all in Xuzhou, if they don't surrender, won't Lu Bu harm their family? ”

Guan Yu didn't think so, so he used Mi Zhu as a negative example: "Elk Zizhong's family has trillions of dollars, but he is still running around for the lord, this loyal and righteous person, how can the eldest brother speak for the two of them!" ”

Liu Bei shook his head helplessly, looked at the scattered troops and embarrassed subordinates, and cried bitterly: "Xuande has no talent to govern the world, you follow me, I am really wronged by you!" Today, the third brother is dead, and Xuande doesn't want to live in the world, you are looking for a way out, and Xuande is killing himself! ”

After that, Liu Bei wanted to raise his sword and commit suicide, but everyone was shocked, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said: "We are not Xuande Gong, if Xuande Gong kills himself, we should also judge ourselves and follow the Gong!" ”

Liu Bei's goal was achieved, because in this case, if he didn't do it, he was afraid that he would really be displaced. What the Han people care about most is integrity, and Liu Bei just wants them to express their allegiance to themselves, otherwise they really won't be able to mix in this troubled world in the future.

"Stop! Everyone, please hurry up, for today's plan is Beitou Lu Bu, we are kind to him, I hope he will not harm us......"

Sun Qian immediately raised his head and said: "Please hand over this matter to the next three days, please give the lord three days, if you don't come back after three days, please also ask the lord to vote for Cao Cao, don't avenge the next!" ”

Liu Bei was actually waiting for cannon fodder to ask for help, but after Zhang Fei's death, Liu Bei paid more attention to the emotions of his subordinates; He grabbed Sun Gan's hand and seemed to choke up: "Gongyou, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

………………………………

Lu Bu naturally didn't embarrass Liu Bei, but Chen Gong didn't think so. He knew that Liu Bei was the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he must not be willing to live under the people for a long time, and Chen Gongzheng was annoyed that he had let him escape from Guangling before, and he never thought that he would throw himself into the net again!

Chen Gong proposed to Lu Bu that he pretend to promise Liu Bei's intention to take refuge, but secretly set up a Hongmen banquet and killed him in the banquet. However, this plan was naturally refuted by Lu Bu, and Lu Bu said angrily: "Liu Bei is kind to us, it was unrighteous to harm him before, and now that he has come to take refuge, how can he harm him again?" After that, he ignored Chen Gong and went to greet Liu Bei in person.

Chen Gong shook his head in annoyance, laughing at Lu Bu's naivety in his heart; Since you have already harmed him, is it possible that he will be grateful to him for his kindness now? Sooner or later, your stupidity will bring you retribution!

Chen Gong suddenly had a plan, and hurriedly dissuaded Lu Bu, and said, "Wen Hou and slow!" Liu Bei didn't know the depth of his coming, so why not invite him to Xuzhou City and set up a banquet to entertain him; If he still has ambitions for Xuzhou, then ......" Chen Gong made a "click" gesture.

Lu Bu thought so, so he asked Chen Gong to prepare for the "Hongmen Banquet". Naturally, Chen Gong would not pay attention to Lu Bu, you must know that Fan Zeng did not pay attention to Xiang Yu back then, so he set up a Hongmen banquet by himself. As long as Liu Bei comes to the banquet today, then he will definitely die!

Lu Bu led Gao Shun and Zhang Liao out of the city to greet Liu Bei, and even moved out of the Xuzhou Great Seal to return it to Liu Bei, saying that he was just afraid that Zhang Fei would make a mistake and temporarily took Xuzhou Mu. Liu Bei naturally refused, but although he sent someone to the fence, he still asked about Zhang Fei's death and put pressure on Lu Bu.

"This is my father-in-law's matter Cao Bao, and it has nothing to do with us...... Lu Bu's eyes fluttered, as if he felt guilty, "General Zhang's body has been buried outside the city by us, if Xuande wants to bring back the coffin, let Xuande go later." ”

Liu Bei's face was gloomy, he knew that he couldn't ask Lu Bu for Cao Bao, after all, it was someone else's father-in-law, so he could only say coldly: "No need, since Yide died in Xuzhou, it's good to let him be buried here...... We will go to Xiaopei and camp at once, and we will not bother the general. ”

"Xuande and slow! I have offended a lot before, and there is a banquet in Xuzhou, and I hope that Xuande can appreciate his face......"

Guan Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and shouted like a king-chestnut: "Lu Bu, didn't you set up a Hongmen banquet with the intention of harming my eldest brother?" ”

Guan Yu's embarrassment was expected, but Lu Bu knew that he was at a loss, so he didn't dare to be angry, and said humbly: "General Guan, this is just the next sincerity, Xuande is kind to the next, how can he bear to do harm below?" ”

"It's Yun Chang, since it's General Lu's good intentions, I'll wait to ......" Liu Bei also seemed to know that this was a Hongmen banquet, but if he didn't go, it would inevitably lead to the relationship between Liu and Lu, which had just warmed up, falling back to the freezing point. Liu Bei couldn't bear such a blow now, so he could only give in for the time being.

"Hahaha! Xuande is really heroic, please! ”

Everyone was speechless all the way, after all, this kind of thing happened, it was difficult for Liu Bei to laugh and talk and laugh with Lu Bu again; Now that he is going to this Hongmen banquet again, if it weren't for Guan Yu by his side, Liu Bei really didn't have the confidence to come out of Xuzhou City alive.

However, he said that Chen Gong had prepared a banquet here, and placed fifty sword and axe hands behind the scenes, but he thought that with Guan Yu's bravery, he was afraid that fifty sword and axe hands would not be enough, so he added fifty more, headed by Cao Bao. In this way, I am not afraid that Liu Bei will not die.

Cao Bao knew that after Chen Gong let him be the commander of the sword and axeman, he was so frightened that his face was like dirt, you must know that Liu Bei is extremely resentful of himself now, if the two sides really fight at that time, I am afraid that Liu Bei and Guan Yu will kill themselves first!

Cao Bao looked embarrassed and asked, "Gongtai, can't you let someone else take charge?" ”

Chen Gong actually saw Cao Bao unhappy for a long time, but because he was Lu Bu's father-in-law, he didn't harm him. Now is a good opportunity to get rid of Cao Bao, how can he not grasp it? immediately smiled and said: "Your Excellency is too worried, but Your Excellency is so afraid of Liu Xuande so far, and you will become sick in the future." For Your Excellency's sake, wouldn't it be nice to let Your Excellency kill Liu Xuande personally? ”

Cao Bao was like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering, so he had to agree to the drudgery given to him by Chen Gong.

It was night, and Lu Bu invited Liu Bei and his subordinates to go to the banquet hall together; Looking at where Lu Bu was sitting, Liu Bei thought that it should be the place where Zhang Fei was killed, and immediately came from sorrow, hiding his face and crying.

Lu Bu was shocked and asked, "Why is Xuande crying bitterly?" ”

"I can't avenge my brother!"

In an instant, the atmosphere of the banquet became awkward, to be honest, if Cao Bao was not Lu Bu's father-in-law, maybe the latter would have handed him over to Liu Bei to dispose of.

"Drinking, drinking, drinking, ......"

The atmosphere of the banquet was extremely embarrassing, even though the warblers sang and danced, everyone didn't seem to have the heart to eat. Guan Yu, who had been guarding Liu Bei's side, was always vigilant about the surrounding environment, because the martial artist's intuition told him that there were not only sword and axe men in ambush in the room, but also a lot of them!

"Humph! Lu Bu is really not good! ”

Guan Yu pressed the sword in his hand, and seemed to be ready to draw the sword out of the sheath at any time; He calmed down, as if he felt that he had entered a pool of clear water, the air around him was under his control, and even the sound of everyone's breathing seemed to be under his control.

Suddenly, there was a rather compact deep breath from the curtain behind him, sometimes high and sometimes low, without the consciousness of rejecting his breath at all, and he was not a sophisticated killer when he heard it. You must know that the sword and axe hand who is ambushed in the banquet must have a strong psychological quality, and must also ensure that his breath will not be discovered by the enemy; The sound of this breath was so obvious that Guan Yu could see that he was not a knife and axe hand.

ambushed behind the tent, but he was not a sword and axe hand, he must have been the one appointed by Lu Bu as the leader...... As long as he kills him, what else does Lu Bu have to say?

Guan Yu immediately made a decision, did not report to Liu Bei, and cautiously approached the curtain behind him; Suddenly, he drew his sword out of its sheath and stabbed straight at the sound of tight breathing behind him, only to hear a whimper, a huge body fell weakly, and the entire banquet hall fell silent in an instant.

"Yun Chang, what are you doing!?"

Liu Bei looked at the sword full of blood in Guan Yu's hand in horror, and then looked at Lu Bu with a gloomy face in the hall, and felt bad in his heart. Although he knew that there must be an ambush in the banquet, he never expected that Guan Yu would suddenly attack and kill one of them!

"Wait, this ......" Liu Bei suddenly looked at the knife and axe man, and was surprised and happy in his heart, "It's Cao Bao!" ”

Good guy, Guan Yu is really powerful, he killed Cao Bao as soon as he made a move, maybe even Cao Bao himself didn't react, why was he suddenly killed by Guan Yu......

Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief, at least killed Cao Bao, even if he was placed under house arrest by Lu Bu here, or turned against him here, he had no regrets.

"Xuande, why did you kill my general?" Lu Bu asked, his face was extremely gloomy, after all, Cao Bao was his father-in-law, how could he explain to his second wife?

Liu Bei also didn't follow, and shouted: "Why did Fengxian set up a Hongmen banquet? ”

Lu Bu was speechless for a while, after all, he first wanted to design and clean up Liu Bei, and he never wanted to be countered by Guan Yu; He looked at Chen Gong on the side with an angry expression, as if he was questioning why he had Cao Bao as the leader of the sword and axeman.

Chen Gong trembled and did not dare to speak.

Liu Bei saw the opportunity and hurriedly got up, and took the opportunity to urinate: "Gong ...... under the bottom"

Seeing Liu Bei leaving, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others also gradually left on the grounds of being out of courtesy. Lu Bu did not stop Liu Bei, although he knew that Liu Bei would not return if he went; But because Liu Bei did not show his ambitions for Xuzhou, it stands to reason that he can't kill him; But Chen Gong was anxious, and hurriedly said, "Wen Hou, don't let him go!" ”

"Cao Bao's matter, I'll look for you later......"

Lu Bu dropped such a sentence and left Chen Gong here, and he hurriedly went into the backyard to explain the problem to his wife; He knew that the woman would inevitably scold herself with tears and bitterness......

"Wenhou ......"

Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu had lost his last chance, and his heart was painful, and he actually expressed the same emotion as Fan Zeng:

"I'm here to be!"
