Chapter 62: Xiao Pei is lost
At this time, Lu Bu was gathering all the generals, preparing to send Xiaopei, and when he heard his subordinates report to Liu Yong asking to see him, Lu Bu couldn't help but rush up angrily, and said angrily: "Good Liu Yong, I haven't come to arrest you yet, but you sent it to the door, just to bring the sacrificial flag." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info Someone, tie Liu Yong up to me. β
Chen Gong hurriedly shouted: "Wait! He turned his head and arched his hand to Lu Budao, "Wen Hou, let's listen to Liu Yong's words before making a decision." β
"Good. Bring Liu Yong up. β
"Wen Hou please." Liu Yong came up to the hall and bowed his hand, looking calm, but he was actually very frightened.
"Hmph. See for yourself! Lu Bu was furious and threw a letter to Liu Yong, "What an ungrateful Liu Bei, I shot a halberd and saved your life, he actually took revenge, and secretly colluded with Cao Cao to plot against me Xuzhou and kill me Lu Bu, it is really a crime that deserves death!" β
Liu Yong picked up the letter, opened it and looked at it, only to see that it was written: Fengming Gong wants to figure Lu Bu, and he dares not to work hard all night. However, there are few soldiers in reserve, and they dare not move lightly. Master Ruoxing, the prime minister, is the forerunner. Be strict with the soldiers, wait for Jun's life, Liu Bei personally wrote. It was Liu Bei's handwriting.
Liu Yong sighed in his heart, and had to defend: "Wen Hou, although Liu Yuanjun is attached to Cao Gong now, he is not sincere, but Wen Hou attacked Xiaopei a few days ago, and Xuande's soldiers and horses were all lost, and he had no place to stand, so he had to temporarily take refuge in Cao Gong." Now Liu Yuanjun's subordinates are all Cao soldiers, and Xiaopei is a safe place, Cao Gong ordered Xuande with the order of the Son of Heaven, does Liu Yuanjun dare not obey his orders? β
"Although Chongru tried his best to defend Liu Bei, but the intention of destroying me Lu Bu in the letter was conclusive, how can you explain it?"
"Wen Hou misunderstood Xuande. Although Cao Gong asked Liu Yuanjun to spy on Xuzhou's military situation from time to time, Wen Hou asked to see that half of Xuande's letter leaked Xuzhou's grain, grass and troops, which was just an excuse to deal with Cao Gong. β
"Chongru's words also have some truth." Lu Bu's face softened slightly, and he said, "Then in your opinion, what should be done about this matter?" β
"Now Yuan Shaobing of Hebei is out of Yecheng, pointing at Xu Du with his sword and commanding his anger, but Cao Cao can only swallow his anger and avoid his edge, why?" Liu Yong was full of spirits and said loudly: "Cao Cao has Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao in the west, and Yuan Shu, Xuande and Wenhou in the south. Now that the forces of Wenhou and Xuande are the weakest, they must not be suspicious of each other and kill each other, so that Cao Cao has a chance. Liu Yong thought that Wen Hou might as well put this book with Xuande, and persuaded him with good words to show his sincerity. Xuande must be grateful to Dai De, and the two families can reject Cao Cao together. Wen Hou, don't forget that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the Lu and Liu families, the combination is two benefits, and the division is two injuries, and please Wen Hou think twice. β
Lu Bu's heart moved, looked at Chen Gong, and asked, "What does the public platform think of Chongru's words?" β
Chen Gong smiled at Liu Yong and said, "Chongru has sharp teeth and clever tongues, which makes some sense. It's just that Chen Gong didn't dare to agree. β
Chen Gong stood up and bowed his hand to Lu Bu: "Wenhou, Liu Bei is an extraordinary person, with lofty ambitions, known as a virtuous name, but he can bend and stretch despite repeated setbacks; Wherever he goes, he will be generous and supported by the people, and he will surely soar to the sky one day. Now that Liu Bei is fledgling and lacks soldiers and major generals, he is circling among Cao Cao and Wen Hou, and he can advance and retreat freely, which can be seen. Wen Hou, Chen Gong thought that instead of raising tigers as a harm, it was better to get rid of them sooner or later to prevent future troubles. As for Chongru, he was brave and knowledgeable, and Chen Gong was also deeply impressed, and implored Wen Hou to stay and reuse it. β
"Gongtai, destroy Liu Bei, how can we resist Cao Cao's army with our strength?"
"Wen Hou has no need to worry. We only need to hold the throats of Xiaoguan and Yingzhou to prevent Cao Cao's army from attacking. Moreover, Cao Cao has Yuan Shao in the north and Zhang Xiu in the west, how dare he easily send troops to attack. β
Lu Bu was overjoyed, and took a few shots, "Okay! According to what the public station said. The generals listened to the order, sent Xiaopei, and swore to kill Liu Bei. β
Liu Yong still had to be persuaded again, and Chen Gong said: "Come on, please go to the backyard to rest." β
Liu Yong sighed in his heart, I still can't change history. But fortunately, although Liu Bei is dangerous, he has no worries about his life.
"Wen Hou, I heard that Chongru has a brave man under him, and now he is in Xiaopei, so he can let Chongru write a letter to recruit him." Chen Gong suggested.
"How many people are there in Chongru?"
"It is said that there are only about 500 people, but they are all well-trained and elite soldiers."
"It's so good, it's like a quick sketch."
Liu Yong was also reluctant to let his hard-trained team be destroyed by the chaotic army, so he wrote a letter to Zhang Liao, and also reminded: "Brother Wenyuan, the subordinates below are different from the soldiers elsewhere, please be careful." β
Zhang Liao and Gao Shun looked at each other and smiled, quite disapproving, Liu Yong looked at it, and could only smile bitterly in his heart.
However, it was said that Lu Bubing went out three ways, all the way Chen Gong and Zang Ba guarded Xiao Pass, and peeped into Yanzhou; Song Xian and Wei continued to take Runan and Yingzhou to base Cao's army; The three roads Zhang Liao and Gao Shun sent Pei County to arrest Liu Bei.
As soon as Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's men and horses moved, the detailed work in the city had already been reported to Pei County. Liu Bei saw that the situation was not good, and on the one hand, he wrote a letter asking Jian Yong to ride a fast horse to Xu Du to move the rescue troops, and on the other hand, he ordered Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Sun Qian, Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others to stick to the city. Liu Bei guarded the south gate, Sun Qian guarded the north gate, Guan Yu guarded the west gate, Zhang Fei guarded the east gate, and Mi Zhu and Mi Fang protected Liu Bei's family.
Although Xiaopei was small, Liu Bei defended it very well, and Zhang Liao and Gao Shun attacked for a few days but in vain. The two couldn't, so they had to surround Pei County.
Jian Yong took the letter and rushed to Xudu to see Cao Cao in the starry night. Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard this, if Lu Bu annexed Liu Bei, then he would join forces with Yuan Shu, and it would be even more difficult to deal with. Cao Cao ordered the army not to rest again, and first ordered Xiahoudun, Xiahou Yuan, LΓΌ Qian, and Li Dian to lead 50,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and sent troops to Xuzhou to rescue Liu Bei.
When Lu Bu heard that Cao Cao's advance was coming, he asked someone to draw Gao Shun's soldiers and horses back to meet the enemy. The two sides fought chaotically, but in the end, Lu Bu won a big victory. Lu Bu defeated the strong with the weak, killed and retreated the Cao army, and was full of spirit, and the anger towards Liu Bei in his heart was even worse.
Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao's army would collapse in a battle, and thought that the reinforcements had arrived, so he hurriedly took Guan and Zhang Erjun out of the city to greet him, but he didn't expect to usher in the three armies of Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Lu Bu. Liu Bei's men didn't have many men, and they could barely resist for a while with the help of the city, and there was no chance of winning a head-to-head confrontation. Liu Bei lost this battle very badly, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were nowhere to be found, and Liu Bei couldn't even take care of his wife, so he fled for his life alone.
LΓΌ Bu won a complete victory, leaving Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to guard Xiaopei, while he returned to Xuzhou with the Mizhu brothers, the second wife of Gan and Mi, and the troops under Liu Yong.
Liu Yong has been waiting anxiously, and has been worried about the safety of his brothers, after all, everyone has been together for several months, sharing weal and woe, and feeling like brothers, and they are reluctant to lose a little. Unexpectedly, it was a complete army that returned to Xuzhou, Liu Yong's heart was not to mention how happy he was, and he hugged everyone excitedly.
"Chongrujiao is really good. I thought that 500 people were not worth mentioning, but I almost suffered a big loss. "Lu Bu won the battle and was in a very good mood, and Liu Yong's army was indeed outstanding, so he didn't dig deeper. Later, Liu Yong asked Dong Xian to learn that Lu Bu led a large army to kill Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in a rapid attack, and his soldiers scattered one after another. Gao Shun and Zhang Liao were able to kill, although they saw that Dong Xian's troops were neatly lineed, which was very different from the other rabble soldiers, but they didn't take it to heart and still rushed over. Although the number of this army is small, the crossbowmen, pikemen, and sword and shield soldiers cooperate tacitly, and the combat power is amazing. As soon as the confrontation began, several of Lu Bu's former army fell to the ground with arrows, and Gao Shun also received an arrow, and the army was suddenly in chaos. Zhang Liao thought of Liu Yong's reminder at this time, and hurriedly tied the letter to the arrow and shot it to Dong Xian to resolve this possible defeat.
Speaking of Liu Bei, he fled to Jibei in embarrassment and was relieved when he saw Cao Cao. Liu Bei told Xiao Pei how he fell, and Cao Cao comforted: "Xuande, don't worry. I will immediately send troops to Xuzhou to avenge you. β
At this time, Lu Bu was full of ambition, and when he heard that Cao Cao personally led a large army to send Pei County, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly called Chen Deng and Liu Yong to come to discuss.
"Yuanlong, Chongru, now that Cao Cao's army is coming, and Gongtai is far away in Xiaoguan, how should I deal with it?"
Liu Yong and Chen Deng looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that in the past few days, the two of them had been analyzing the current situation and discussing a plan, but it happened that Chen Gong was not by Lu Bu's side, which was really a godsend.
"Wen Hou, Xiao Guan, and Xiao Pei are Xuzhou Gongwei, and they are horns of each other, and they cannot afford to lose. According to the meaning of the following, Chongru led his troops to Xiaoguan to strengthen the defense, and Wen Hou went to Xiaopei to resist Cao Cao, which was the best policy. β
Lu Bu nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Cao Cao personally led the army to Xiaopei, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are difficult to resist, I must go to the rescue in person, but Xuzhou is empty, and who should guard it." Lu Bu raised his eyes and looked at Liu Yong, then at Chen Deng, and said in his heart, these two people are candidates, but I can't rest assured.
Liu Yong arched his hand and said: "Wen Hou, if you raise one person under the Bao, you will definitely be able to defend Xuzhou, and Wen Hou can also go to Xiaopei with confidence." β
Lu Bu was overjoyed and said: "Chongru, come quickly." β
"This person is the father of Yuanlong, Mr. Han Yu."
"Chen Qi?" Lu Bu felt a pang in his heart, what kind of bad idea are you, Chen Deng, I don't feel at ease, could it be that I can rest assured if I change to Chen Qi? Liu Yong knew Lu Bu's thoughts early, and said: "Wen Hou, Yuanlong is very strategic, but he can go to Xiaopei with you, and he can discuss when he encounters difficulties, right?" β
Lu Bu is also at a loss, and now he doesn't even have a confidant to talk to, so after thinking about it for a while, Liu Yong's plan is feasible. Take Chen Deng with you, you can discuss something, and you can take him as a hostage, and you are not afraid that Chen Qi will not guard Xuzhou. Lu Bu made up his mind, "Okay, according to Chongru's words, I will ask Mr. Han Yu to guard Xuzhou, and Chen Yuanlong will follow me to Xiaopei to reject Cao Cao." β
"Gentle and slow, Liu Yong still has a plan."
