That night, Liu Bei and Yan Gang gathered in Jixian County. The two sat in the hall looking at each other, and several dancers in the hall were dancing. During this period, Yan Gang also frequently raised his glass and drank with Liu Bei. If you don't know the relationship between the two, I'm afraid you will mistake the two for some kind of best friends.

Liu Bei looked at Yan Gang, who was frequently raising his glass to himself on the other side, and he didn't smile at his skin, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes.

From the dozens of guards he saw outside the hall before he came in, including those who were standing around Yan Gang at this time, as well as those guards scattered all over the corner of the hall, these were enough to show that Yan Gang was guarding himself.

Liu Bei originally planned to take advantage of the few guards he brought outside the door, take advantage of Yan Gang's drunkenness, lose his guard, and then assassinate him. Now it seems that Yan Gang seems to be very wary of himself, so he can only look for another opportunity.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei raised his glass again, looked through a few dancers in the field, looked at Yan Gang with a smile, and said tentatively: "Bei has been walking all the way, and seeing that the city is full of armor patrols, it is really a wise move for Brother Bo Jue to entrust this important position of guarding Youzhou to General Yan." ”

"Hiccup. . . The lord is out with his troops, and we naturally have to share his worries. Such a trivial matter is nothing. However, Brother Xuande took care of this Youzhou political affairs in an orderly manner, and as soon as I walked out of the house, I could hear those people everywhere and their gratitude to Brother Xuande. Drinking the wine in the cup, Yan Gang burped. Holding the refilled wine glass, with a little drunkenness, he stood up, staggered to Liu Bei's side, put his arm on his shoulder, and said with a half-squinted look in his eyes.

Such a good opportunity, should you start? looked at Yan Gang, who put his hand on his shoulder and leaned half of his body in front of him. Liu Bei felt the coldness of the blade in his sleeve, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Just as Liu Bei was about to reach out and touch the sharp blade in his sleeve, several guards stepped forward and stood behind Yan Gang. Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly withdrew the hand that was put in his sleeve and picked up the wine glass on the table: "Ha, ha." Ha! Bei and General Yan served under the account of Brother Bo Jue, and this achievement all relied on the great power of Brother Bo Jue. We should encourage each other! Drink this cup, Brother Bo Jue! ”

"Hiccup! To the Lord! Yan Gang, who was already a little drunk, heard Liu Bei's passionate words, where would he think that he would fall down if he drank it again. Holding up the wine glass in his hand with both hands, he followed Liu Bei with a shaking hand and clinked glasses, then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

Seeing Yan Gang drink the wine again, Liu Bei glanced at several guards behind him, and his eyes rolled slightly.

seemed to have thought of something, and Liu Bei's face was already full of smiles at this time. During the period, he repeatedly raised his lamp to Yan Gang on the grounds of respecting Sun Zhan.

"Bang!" Yan Gang, who was already not strong enough to drink, after drinking a glass again, lay straight on Liu Bei's table, unconscious.

Seeing that several guards went to help Yan Gang up, Liu Bei also pretended to be drunk, staggered to his feet, and then fell on the seat under the gaze of the guards behind him, shouting: "Come back tomorrow!" Again... Come... ”

Seeing that the two of them were drunk one after another, the guards first helped Yan Gang into the house to rest, and then handed Liu Bei, who didn't know what he was shouting, to Liu Bei's personal guards who were waiting outside the door, and returned to the hall from the beginning.

The guards brought by Liu Bei, seeing that he did not act, but were drunk, and in a panic, they could only take him staggering towards the city gate, wanting to go out of the city first to find Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who were waiting outside the city.

"Snort. . . It seems that the general is thinking too much, so Liu Bei is drunk like this, where do you still need to stare at him. Let's go, I stood nervously for most of the night, and there was no, so I hurried home and hugged the woman to sleep well. Liu Bei was taken away by the guards and away from sight. A few of Yan Gang's personal guards walked out of the shadowy places on the left and right outside the room. One of them sneered.

On a street leading to the city gate, Liu Bei, who was supported by the guards, suddenly opened his eyes, stood up straight, got rid of the support of the guards, and glanced at Yan Gang's mansion not far behind him.

Looking at Liu Bei, who suddenly came to his senses, the eyes of the guards were full of stunned looks. At this time, Liu Bei, where is he still half drunk?

Ignoring the stunned eyes of the guards, Liu Bei made a silent gesture to a few people, and then pointed to the head of the city not far away: "Yan Gang's guard is too heavy to start." After a while I continued to pretend to be drunk, you waited until you carried me under the gate of the city, and pretended to send me out of the city. When the gates were opened, the patrolling soldiers at the top of the city were slaughtered. Remember, be sure to be smart! ”

As Liu Bei said, he pretended to be drunk, mainly because he saw that Yan Gang was too protective of him. If you want to assassinate Yan Gang by surprise, it is obviously impossible.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Bei thought of another method. That is, to deceive the city gate and welcome Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were waiting outside the city, into the city. This is also calculated or unintentional, and Yan Gang is already drunk, seizing power at this time is definitely the best opportunity.

With the cooperation of the guards, Liu Bei was helped to the city gate step by step.

"Who?!" The guards had just helped Liu Bei to the city, and the captain of the city, who was holding a few soldiers and holding torches to look around, shone the torches in his hands towards where they were, and shouted.

Because of Liu Bei's orders, the guards naturally knew what to do next, so they looked at the city, and when they found that there were less than ten people patrolling the city, the eyes of these guards flashed with a hint of joy.

At this time, the leader of the guards walked out. Pointing to Liu Bei, who was supported by a few personal guards, he said to the captain of the city: "This is my lord, Liu Bei of the plains." Fang just drank in General Yan's mansion, and now he is drunk. Please also ask the general to open the gates of the city, and let me wait to escort my lord back to the plains!" ”

Liu Bei went into the city today to find Yan Gang, and Wu Chang was at the head of the city at that time, so he knew about it.

Hearing what the leader of the guards said, Wu Chang shook the torch in his hand in the direction of Liu Bei and the others again, and after confirming that it was really Liu Bei, he let down his guard, walked down the city with his patrolmen, and walked towards Liu Bei and others.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if it's late today and it's inconvenient to hurry, why don't you let Liu Xianling stay in the city temporarily?" Although Liu Bei is only a plain order, he has always been relatively special in Gongsun Zhan's camp, so this Wu Chang is also very polite in his words at this time.

Hearing the captain's question, the guards were stunned for a moment.

Just when the guards didn't know how to speak, Liu Bei, who was supported by several guards and was lowering his head, suddenly had a seizure, pulled out the sharp blade in his sleeve, first slashed through the neck of the captain, and then continued to rush towards several other patrols with shocked faces, and shouted in his mouth: "Do it!" ”

In the case of Liu Bei and others, who were calculating or unintentional, these patrols soon all fell in a pool of blood.

As the city gate slowly opened, Liu Bei asked the leader of the guards to hurry up to greet Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others, and he took the rest of the guards to guard the city gate in case there was a change.

did not let Liu Bei wait for a long time, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei hurriedly rushed to the city with 8,000 men and horses to join Liu Bei after receiving the news of the leader of the guard.

Looking at the 8,000 people behind him, Liu Bei couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. After working hard for a few years, in the end, he could only make up so many people under the nose of Gongsun Zhan. If it weren't for the fierce generals like Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the combat effectiveness of these 8,000 people would also be flattering. Compared with the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of other princes, Liu Bei knew that his own strength was a joke.

But now the opportunity has come, as long as this Jixian County can be won tonight, there will be a place in this Youzhou. Liu Bei believes that as long as he can take Jixian County, if he doesn't need to rely on people in the future, it is absolutely impossible to have only so many soldiers and horses.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Second brother, you lead two thousand soldiers and horses and rush into Yan Gang's mansion with me. As long as he is taken down, Jixian can be determined! Third brother, you lead 6,000 men and horses to the school field in the city and control those soldiers! ”

After assigning their respective tasks, Liu Bei ordered two thousand soldiers and horses, and took Guan Yu to take the lead in rushing in the direction of Yan Gang's mansion.

Inside Yan Gang's mansion, the noise coming from outside the mansion woke up Yan Gang, who was drunk on the bed.

Covering his head with a splitting headache, Yan Gang got up from the bed, pushed open the door, and walked out.

Walking out of the room, I looked at the servants in the courtyard who were running in a panic, and the shouts of killing from outside the house. Yan Gang pulled over a servant and shouted, "What happened? Why is there a shout of killing outside the house?! ”

"General, run away! Then Liu Bei came into the city with men and horses, and the general's personal guards were at the door at this time, and they were about to be unable to withstand it. Take care of yourself, I'll go first! The servant was pulled by Yan Gang and hurriedly explained, and when he heard the shouting and killing sound that was getting closer and closer, the servant hurriedly shook off the hand held by Yan Gang and ran for his life to other roads in the courtyard.

"Liu Bei, Liu Bei! You villain is really reversed, really reversed! Knowing that Liu Bei had already killed with his men and horses, Yan Gang suddenly felt as if he had been struck by thunder, his body shook for a while, and then he muttered in his mouth and hurried towards the shouting of killing outside the door.

At the gate, the leader of Yan Gang's guards slashed the neck of a soldier with a knife, looked at the guards behind him who were gradually retreating, and shouted: "Brothers, stop these rebels for me, the school must have heard the movement here now, and when they arrive, it will be the death of these rebels!" ”

"Delusional!" Just as the leader of the guards had finished speaking, a cold voice came.

Hearing this voice, the leader of the guards felt a pang in his heart, and just as he was about to raise the long knife in his hand to face the enemy, he saw a sword light flash from his eyes.

In the eyes of the other guards blocking the door, they only had time to see that a knife-shaped white light flashed, and the leader of the guards became a headless corpse lying on the ground.

After sending out a knife cover and killing the leader of the guards, Guan Yu's Danfeng eyes flashed a trace of coldness, and he obliquely carried the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and appeared in front of those guards with panicked expressions: "Hand over Yan Gang, and those who descend will not be killed!" ”

"Guan Yu!" Just when these guards felt timid in the face of the powerful Guan Yu, a shout of gnashing teeth came from behind them.

Picking up the leader of the guards who had become a headless corpse, the long knife in his hand, Yan Gang looked at Guan Yu with hatred under the gaze of the guards and the two thousand soldiers outside the door.

Regarding Yan Gang's hatred, Guan Yu didn't say anything about it, but just squinted at him with those Danfeng eyes.

"The lord treats you three brothers well, but I didn't expect you to turn against you today! What about Liu Bei's sanctimonious villain? Tell him to come out to me! Seeing that Guan Yu didn't say anything, Yan Gang turned his gaze to the formation of the two thousand soldiers and roared.

"Kill!" Hearing Yan Gang's roar, Guan Yu condensed his shroud qi on the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, first ordered coldly to the soldiers behind him, and then swung the knife towards Yan Gang with a crazy face.
