However, it was said that after Dong Cheng and others reached an agreement, they took out the edict given by the emperor.

When everyone saw that Dong Cheng took out the edict with his clothes, their hearts settled down a little. In this way, the matter of everyone punishing Cao can be called justified.

Since then, Dong Cheng and others have often gathered together to plot against Cao.

With Dong Cheng's efforts, Liu Bei also joined the Zhu Cao camp.

Liu Bei was a bold person, and he knew that he could not tolerate Cao Cao, and Dong Cheng had an edict with clothes, so he naturally joined it.

On this day, Cao Cao suddenly ordered Liu Bei to command the army in the south of Huaibei, nominally supplemented by Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao, but in fact to supervise Liu Bei.

After the army left, Cheng Yu, Xun You, Dong Zhao and others hurried to Sikong Mansion to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao saw that the three of them came to see him in a hurry, and asked why?

The three of them said in unison: "Liu Bei Xiaoxiong, if you leave, like a dragon swimming in the sea and birds returning to the forest, you can't be sent!" ”

When Cao Cao heard this, he was shocked.

Although Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao supervised Liu Bei, Cao Cao was afraid that the two were not Liu Bei's opponents, so he hurriedly sent Xu Chu to recover Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was ordered to lead the troops to guard Huaibei, and after facing the king, he resigned with everyone.

Fang left Xudu, and Liu Bei ordered Guan and Zhang to supervise Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao Xingye in a hurry and go to Huaibei.

Guan Zhang was puzzled and asked Liu Bei urgently.

"Big brother is on the march, why are you so anxious?" Guan Yu and Zhang Fei asked in unison.

Seeing this, Liu Bei sighed: "Xu Du is like a cage, we are birds, this trip, like a bird into the forest, unfettered, how can I go back?" ”

When Guan Zhang heard this, his heart suddenly understood.

The army was about to reach Huaibei, and Xu Chu led 500 cavalry, and finally caught up with Liu Bei and others.

Liu Bei ordered the army to march in a hurry, and when he saw the dust behind him and the sound of hooves suddenly, he knew that Cao Cao had sent someone to chase him.

So, Liu Bei said to Guan and Zhang: "This must be Cao Cao's chasing soldiers, and the second and third brothers ordered the army to go down to the village, and stood in the camp in armor." Let me meet this person for a while! ”

Xu Chu is the general of Cao Cao's guard, about Zhang Zhimeng, known as the tiger idiot, eight feet long, ten girths around the waist, great appearance, and great bravery.

Cao Cao once called Xu Chu "My Fan Xuye!" It can be seen that Cao Cao loves Xu Chu.

Xu Chu led the troops to the party, and saw Liu Bei going to the camp, with all the bows and horses, and the soldiers were strictly organized, so he entered the camp alone.

Liu Bei saw that Xu Chu was here, and he knew that something was wrong, so he took the lead in asking, "What is Zhongkang coming from?" ”

When Xu Chu heard this, he had to say: "Xuande Gong, I am on the orders of the lord, and I specially invite the general to return to Xu Capital, don't discuss!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, hearing this, suddenly became angry. The Qinglong Glaive Knife and the Zhangba Snake Spear were tightly held by the two, and the armor leaves on their bodies were sonorous.

Xu Chu was not afraid, stood with his head up, and just waited for Liu Bei to reply.

But listening to Liu Bei, he was not in a hurry, and said slowly: "The general is outside, and the king's order is not affected." I have met the king, and I have been silent. There is nothing else to discuss today, the public can return quickly and restore Cao Gong for me. ”

Xu Chu was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly didn't know what to do.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Chu knew that Liu Bei had made up his mind, and saw that Guan Zhang and the two were stubborn, even if they fought, they might not be opponents.

I saw Xu Chu helplessly surrender his hand and turned around to leave.

When Xu Chu returned to Xudu, he told Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was silent for a long time when he heard the words.

Cheng Yu and Dong Zhao both sighed: "Liu Xuande is unwilling to lead the troops back, but you can know that his heart has changed!" ”

After a while, Cao Cao asked, "What should I do?" ”

When Cheng Yu heard this, he said loudly: "The lord can send a large army to chase him, with Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao on his side, if Liu Bei fights, he is afraid that the camp will be chaotic, and he will be captured in one fell swoop!" ”

Cao Cao listened and was silent.

After a while, Cao Cao said: "I have Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao there, and I don't think Xuande will dare to change his mind." Besides, if I have sent him, how can I repent it? ”

When Dong Zhao heard this, he was anxious, but he was helpless.

However, it was said that Cao Cao was unwilling to send troops, and Liu Bei had already led the army to Xuzhou, close to Guangling County, and stationed troops in Huaibei.

Liu Bei's tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Huaibei, and Zhou Yu, the governor of Huainan, was quite uneasy.

On the one hand, Zhou Yu sent people to Wuchang Palace to report to Sun Ce, and on the other hand, he led 5,000 soldiers to accompany the Rong battalion to Guangling County. Li Xiang, a powerful lieutenant general stationed in the northern fortress of Guangling County, was also ordered to be on standby, ready to deal with a possible war at any time.

Huainan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, military advisor Guo Jia, also accompanied the Rong battalion.

Along the way, Guo Jia frowned, puzzled. Zhou Yu was also quite puzzled.

Now Cao Cao sent a large army to garrison Huaibei, and there were many provocative moves. But the northern part of Cao's army is facing the pressure of Yuan Shao's heavy troops, how can he make enemies in Yangzhou at this time?

Of course, Guo Jia and Zhou Yu would not have expected that most of Huaibei's provocations were carried out by Liu Bei's troops, just to make Wu Jun puzzled and mobilize the army to create a tense atmosphere.

When Zhou Yu and Guo Jia took 5,000 soldiers to accompany the Rong battalion, they entered Guangling County.

Liu Bei immediately summoned Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao.

In the handsome tent, Liu Bei was sitting on top of it. Guan Zhang and the two, each holding a sharp blade, are on their left and right.

When Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao saw this, they were shocked in their hearts.

I saw Liu Bei and Yan Yuese said: "General Zhu, General Lu, Cao Gong ordered us to be stationed in Huaibei, and now the Huainan Wu army has frequent changes, and Zhou Yu, the governor of Huainan, is leading the troops in person today." Now that it is war or peace, we dare not be rash. Therefore, please ask the two generals to return to Xudu in order to seek Cao Gongjun's will! ”

When Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao heard this, they couldn't help but feel anxious.

Liu Bei is the main general, and the two are supplemented, although they are willing to oppose it, but they don't know where to say.

After a while, Zhu Ling said: "Xuande Gong has an order, we should obey it, but the situation is tense, Lu Zhao can return to Xu Capital alone to ask for orders." I should stay and advance and retreat with Xuande Public! ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he looked at Zhu Ling deeply, and did not speak.

Zhang Fei on the side was already extremely unhappy, and then shook the snake spear in his hand and snorted violently to vent his dissatisfaction.

Guan Yu was also dissatisfied, so he narrowed his eyes, held his long hair, and looked directly at Zhu Ling.

Although Zhu Ling has a talent, his martial arts are only second-rate. was locked up by such a fierce person, and he was so stunned, and his heart was terrified.

Liu Bei smiled slightly, and said slowly: "This trip is far away, it is better for General Zhu to be with General Lu!" ”

Zhu Ling was impatient, knowing that if he shouldn't, he might not even be able to get out of the camp.

So, Zhu Ling had no choice but to say: "Since Xuande has an order, we will obey everything!" ”

However, he said that Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao returned to Xudu with their own soldiers, and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the camp belonged to Liu Bei. With Liu Bei's methods, coupled with Guan Zhang's prestige, these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were quickly submissive.

Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao returned to Xudu alone, and Cao Cao was furious.

In Sikong Mansion, Cao Cao had already broken several cups. Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were still kneeling under the hall.

"Come on, pull these two pieces of waste down and cut them down for me!" Cao Cao shouted angrily.

When Xun Yu heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded: "Liu Bei is the commander, and the two of them are helpless!" ”

Cao Cao didn't want to kill the two, so when he heard the words, he borrowed the donkey from the slope and said, "Don't let me go yet!" ”

When Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao heard this, they hurriedly exited the lobby as if they had been amnestied.

Seeing the two leaving, Cao Cao said helplessly: "I regret not listening to the words of the kings, and now that Liu Bei has rebelled, what should I do?" ”
