In the first year of Han Jian'an, in 196 AD, Liu Bei complied with the will of the imperial court, led Guan Yu, Jian Yong and others to send 30,000 troops to attack Huainan Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu was furious when he heard it, and raised 100,000 troops to fight Liu Bei with Ji Ling as the general, the two sides met in the Xia Cai area, Liu Bei saw that Ji Ling had many soldiers, and remembered Gao Ping's entrustment, so he was stationed in the deep ditch and high base in Xia Cai City, and ordered Guan Yu to lead 10,000 troops to set up a large camp outside the city, and each other was horned.

And Ji Ling turned into the army in Xuzhou and returned defeated, he was quite afraid of Xuzhou's military strength, seeing that Liu Bei did not engage in the battle, he had to set up a large camp, and did not attack the city, the two sides occasionally fought a battle, because Guan Yu was brave and Ji Ling's men were invincible, so Ji Ling lost many battles, but the loss was not big.

In Xuzhou, after Liu Bei left, Zhang Fei seemed to have changed as if he had changed his life, and the old god was actually handling military affairs on the spot. Of course, the government affairs are still handled by Chen Deng, Chen Qun and others. Gao Ping watched from the sidelines, but he also felt strange, this famous Zhang Sanye didn't find himself to drink for three days, but he really changed his sex.

However, the good times did not last long, on this day, Zhang Fei held a banquet in his house to entertain everyone, and ordered all officials of Xuzhou to come. The crowd had to come. When everyone sat down, Zhang Fei said: "When my eldest brother left, he told me to drink less, for fear of wreck." All of you are drunk today, and tomorrow you will all abstain from drinking and help me defend the city. but today they will all drink to their fullest. With that, he got up and held the lamp with the officials.

Respecting Chen Deng, Chen Deng got up and said: "When the lord was leaving, he told you to come, I have drunk too much today, why don't you stop here?"

Zhang Fei was drinking to the head of Xing, where would he listen, glaring at the ring and said: "I said that I must get drunk today, and tomorrow I should quit drinking, defend the city with peace of mind, and Yuan Longxiu will resign" After saying that, he drank the wine cup in his hand, and saw that Chen Deng was still hesitating, so he poured Chen Deng's hands directly into his mouth, and then laughed and walked to the next one. Chen Deng was so hung that he couldn't help but look at Gao Ping with a wry smile. Gao Ping waved his hand disapprerovingly. Chen Deng didn't know why, and when he saw Zhang Fei and Mi Fang drinking together, he stepped forward to Gao Ping's seat and whispered: "I and others are soft-spoken, we can't dissuade the three generals, why is the military advisor so conniving with him like this, so Xuzhou is not guaranteed", at this time, Chen Qun and Zhou Cang also came to Gao Ping, looking at him suspiciously, and they were puzzled, and Chen Deng's words also asked what they thought in their hearts.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's okay, I will let the three generals have a good drink today, and you will also get drunk today," Gao Ping deliberately raised his voice. At the same time, he got up and toasted everyone, Zhang Fei got Gao Ping's approval, and became more and more energetic, laughing and drinking with everyone.

Gao Ping drank with Chen Deng, Mi Fang, Zhou Cang, He Man, Chen Qun and others, but when he was drinking, he blinked at each other and poured all the wine on his sleeves, and everyone quietly poured the wine in their hands to stay sober

Zhang Fei poured himself a drink, drank dozens of cups in a row, and didn't feel drunk, but because Cao Bao was dead, there was no whipping of Cao Bao in history. That night, more than 30 officials of all sizes in Xuzhou returned drunk, and many of them returned to their mansions with the support of their family members.

Xuzhou, the state pastor's house, Gao Ping was helped back to the study, and shouted in his mouth, come again, I'm not drunk yet, bring the wine.

The two little girls wrinkled their noses and helped Gao Ping into the house, Gao Ping lay down on the bed on all fours, and the people in Zhang Fei's mansion retired. Xiaoyu called for washing water, Xiaolan boiled a bowl of sobering soup, and was about to help Gao Ping to wash, but Gao Ping sat up suddenly, startling the two of them.

Gao Ping got up, picked up a handkerchief, wiped his face indiscriminately, and strode out, where was the slightest drunkenness, the two girls stood in place in a daze, what is the swelling going on?

Gao Ping walked quickly to the lobby of the State Pastoral Mansion, and Xu Feng, the leader of the "Shadow", was walking anxiously back and forth in the hall, and saw Gao Ping hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "You are here, I have been waiting for most of the night."

Gao Ping waved his hand and sat down in the first place and ordered: "Liao Wei, now secretly dispatch the 'Shadow' personnel to invite Chen Deng, Chen Qun, Zhou Cang, Mi Fang, and He Man here, be careful not to alarm others, and let them come secretly, and don't alarm the guards in front of the door, come in through the small gate of the State Governor's Mansion, pay attention, you must find someone who is absolutely trustworthy to inform, understand" Gao Ping said solemnly.

Seeing that Gao Ping was so serious, Xu Feng knew that something big might happen, so he walked out quickly.

After a while, Chen Deng and several people came one after another, and when everyone sat down, Gao Ping said: "Today's banquet, I deliberately let you all pretend to be drunk, presumably you are all puzzled, now I tell you that something big will happen in Xuzhou."

Everyone didn't interject, just looked at Gao Ping suspiciously, waiting for his next step.

Gao Ping's eyes swept over a few people: "You are all Xuzhou humerus, now the lord is leading the troops outside, and I am drunk today, which is giving the young people a chance to take advantage of, I expect that there will be changes in Xuzhou tonight."

"Now that the whole territory of Xuzhou is flat, only Lu Bu is not yet trustworthy, but he is only a few thousand people in Xiaopei, how can he win Xuzhou" Zhou Cang asked angrily.

"There are capable people under Lu Bu" Chen Deng said: "I think this should be Chen Gong suggested that Lu Bu do this, Lu Bu only has seven or eight thousand people in Xiaopei, but this is where Chen Gong is clever, if all Langya's men and horses are brought back to Xiaopei, then the lord will definitely be on guard, how can he be light, it is because he feels that Lu Bu has no big threat, so the lord dares to be called to crusade against Yuan Shu"

"But even if the lord leads the army away, but there are still 20,000 soldiers in Xuzhou City, Lu Bu has little chance of winning even if he sneaks up," Chen Qun asked puzzled.

"Okay" Gao Ping waved his hand to stop everyone's suspicion and said: "Although Lu Bu does not have many troops, there is already an internal response in Xuzhou City, which is also the reason why Ping only recruited you to come, I can't fully believe the others, now is the time to pull out the last tumor in Xuzhou, I hope you will help"

"Everything is up to the military advisor" Seeing that everyone agreed, Gao Ping said what he thought in his heart, and after everyone listened, they took their orders and left, Chen Qun couldn't help but sigh after leaving: "This time Lu Bu is resting"

In Xuzhou, a few black-clothed people quietly climbed out of the city wall and came to Xiaopei.

Xiaopei City.

Chen Gongzai carefully questioned the man in black several times, and confirmed that the officials in Xuzhou were indeed drunk, and it was not the enemy's plan. Then he nodded to Lu Bu, but somehow, Chen Gong was always a little relieved. But one of the men in black kept saying that Zhang Fei's bedroom could be heard snoring from afar, and Gao Ping, Chen Deng and others were all helped back to the mansion, and when they saw Zhou Cang and He Man vomiting, Chen Gong was also relieved.

Lu Bu said loudly at this time: "Liu Bei is far away in Huainan, and now Xuzhou is empty, and there are many Xuzhou officials from the Tao family and the Cao family as internal responses. Pass on my order, the second watch will make rice, and the third watch will set off. ”

Chen Gong listened and said: "Although Zhang Fei has no plan, Gao Ping, Chen Deng and others are wise, and the lord must not act carelessly. ”

Lu Bu laughed when he heard this: "Gongtai is also too careful, I just decided, how can he know." I rode a horse across the world, and I was afraid of this yellow-mouthed child. That being the case, Gongtai will defend the city with Wei Xu tonight and watch me break through Xuzhou. Hou Cheng next to him wanted to say something, but seeing that Chen Gong was silent, he had to bow down and obey.

Everything was ready to stop, and Gao Shun, who had been bowing his head and saying nothing, suddenly said: "Lord, Liu Envoy Jun has always been kind to us and others, but now we have taken his city, this is not a gentleman's doing." ”

Lu Bu listened to it and looked at Gao Shun angrily and said: "How can a husband have the kindness of a woman for his meritorious work, I have not heard your words, if you plead for the enemy again, disturb the hearts of our army, and will not be spared." After saying that, he turned over and rode away.

Gao Shun stood to the side gloomily, and behind him, Wei Xu patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Let's talk about it after this battle." ”
