Chen County's native Yuan Zhuo is Yaoqing, who keeps to himself and never exceeds the etiquette law. Liu Bei recommended him as Maocai, but he thanked Liu Bei for his kindness, and then moved his family to live between Changjiang and Huai. Yuan Shu knew that he was talented, so he summoned him to serve under the account.

Yuan Shu asked: "Now Cao Cao has moved to Xuchang, the imperial capital, Lu Bu is in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei is in Yuzhou; For this situation, I don't know what Yao Qing thinks? ”

Yuan Lian replied: "Back to Yuan Gong, according to his opinion, today in Xuchang, Xu and Yu will complement each other; However, Cao Cao has a rigid temperament and narrow-minded grudges, so he may not be able to tolerate Lu Bu. ”

Yuan Shu couldn't help but say: "As you said, if I send troops to defeat Liu Bei first, and then join Taishan Zangba and others in the north to besiege Xuzhou; Is this feasible? ”

Yuan Jian couldn't help frowning slightly and hesitated, but said: "The rear has not yet been pacified, so I sent troops to attack Yuzhou, I'm afraid this is a bit inappropriate, right?" ”

Yuan Shu said: "Now that Lu Bu has entered Xuzhou, he will gain a firm foothold there in less than a year or two; I thought that if I didn't get rid of it as soon as possible while it was still on the ground, it would become a big problem for me in the future. ”

Yuan Lian nodded and said, "What Yuan Gong is worried about is not unreasonable. ”

Immediately, Yuan Shu sent Zhonglang General Ji Ling and others to lead 30,000 foot cavalry from Shouchun and went north to attack Peicheng overnight. Subsequently, Liu Bei sent Liu Zhi to Xiapi to ask us for help, and Feng Xian and I led a thousand horses to the rescue. When Ji Ling and the others learned that we were coming with our troops, they didn't dare to attack for a while.

After meeting, Liu Bei couldn't help but say: "It's really thanks to Brother Feng Xian for coming in time, otherwise my life would be in danger this time." ”

Feng Xian said: "Brother Xuande's words are serious; Knowing that his brother was in danger, his brother naturally had to rush to help in time. ”

Liu Bei smiled, and couldn't help but say again: "Now Yuan Shu's army has 30,000 horses, and my second army is only a few thousand; I don't know what strategy Brother Feng has to break it? ”

Feng Xian said: "If the son has only returned to Kanto not long ago, people have set their minds, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived, and it is not appropriate to act rashly for the time being; I intend to reconcile with Yuan Shu. to strive for the opportunity to stand on the development in the future. ”

Liu Bei nodded and said, "What my brother said is exactly what I wanted." ”

Subsequently, we set up camp in the southwest of Peicheng, and set up a banquet to summon Ji Ling and others to come to the banquet to discuss reconciliation. In this regard, Ji Ling and the others were afraid of deception and did not dare to answer the call, but they wanted to summon us to their camp for a banquet.

Feng Xian and I have always had no fear in our hearts, and since he is going to summon us, then we can only go to the feast. However, Liu Bei and others had concerns in their hearts. It seems that there is some fear that the other party will cheat.

Seeing this, Feng Xian couldn't help but persuade: "Brother Xuande doesn't need to worry; Now that I am a virtuous brother, I will ensure that you are safe and sound; If not, my brothers and I will live and die with you. ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he immediately said ashamedly: "Confucius has a cloud that "gentlemen are frank and open, and villains are often relatives"; I still need to learn from my brother. ”

Before I knew it, I had known Fengxian for twelve years. During this period, Feng Xian learned a lot of concepts from me, and after so many years of training, he has also had a very thorough understanding of world affairs. Believe even without me by his side. He can also plan everything properly.

People change over time, and the reason for this is that they are influenced by their external environment, especially by someone around them who they think is worth emulating. However, when the person's outlook on life, values, good and evil, right and wrong, and good and evil are established. Usually they are no longer easily influenced by the outside world. And when the person is no longer affected by the external environment, then he has been successful in being a person.

And what is the meaning of life? The main thing is to be successful. Material and wealth are not the standard to measure a person's success, as long as there is talent, opportunity and space, you can naturally accumulate huge material and wealth. The material and wealth that will be gathered by one person. Feeding more of your own kind is much more successful than taking it for yourself.

This time. We went to the camp of Ji Ling and others, and we didn't bring many people with us. Liu Bei only brought Guan Yu and Zhao Yun, and Feng Xian and I only brought Qin Yi and Zhang Xiao. Zhang Fei stayed behind to guard Xiaopei, while Gao Shun and Wei Xu stayed behind to lead the soldiers and horses we brought.

Ji Ling and the others couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw that there were only a few of us coming. But I heard Ji Ling say: "There are clouds in the world" Among the people, Lu Bu, and among the horses, there are Chi Su; God will be incorruptible and brave in battle"; I never thought that the two generals only brought so many people here, did they want to deceive us and other soldiers in the army? ”

Feng Xian smiled and said, "We only brought these few people out of trust in you, why did you suspect us first?" ”

Ji Ling and the others looked at each other, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Hehe, General Lu is so eloquent; Fang Cai is rude to the last general, please forgive me; The banquet is ready, a few please. ”

Normally, when others talk about business, they have to drink three rounds before they start. We like to talk about things first, and then talk about eating and drinking. In other words, before the business is done, I start to eat, drink and have fun, which is a bit irresponsible.

Ji Ling raised the wine cup and said, "Those who come are guests, and the last general will salute a few people first." ”

Feng Xian said: "Don't be busy drinking, it's not too late to drink after negotiating things first; Xuande is my brother, and he is related to me by marriage, so I want to save him; I don't like to fight with people in vain, but I like to resolve the fights of others. How about you also sell Lu Bu a favor? ”

After Ji Ling put down the wine cup, he said: "It's not that the last general and others refuse to sell General Lu's favors, it's just that General Lu suddenly sent a sentence and wanted the last general to withdraw and leave, which is really difficult for some strong people; If the end will be in vain, how should we follow the main bus on their behalf? ”

Feng Xian then said, "It's better to make a bet with you; and set up a halberd under the gate one hundred and fifty paces away, and if I shoot a small branch on the halberd, you will send a report to your lord to withdraw his army and leave; If I miss the sprig on the halberd, I will withdraw my army and leave, and you two will stay and fight; I wonder if you dare to make this bet with me? ”

Ji Ling groaned for a while, and then said, "Okay, the last general will bet with the general." ”

In other words, Feng Xian and I haven't shown archery for a long time. I heard that when he was practicing archery, he often hung mosquitoes to practice his eyesight, so shooting halberds was not difficult for him at all.

As for the matter of "shooting halberds at the gate", it will often be admired or debated by the world in later generations. admired his superb archery, and the argument was that the only place where he was righteous to Liu Bei was here.

But in fact, in the troubled times to survive a lot of times involuntarily, if you want to be honest, all those who have achieved a hegemony in the troubled times, no foundation will be clean. But everything that is clean will be eaten in the end. That's why we're always on the move, struggling to survive. It is usually difficult for people who have not experienced troubled times to appreciate this.

Feng Xian picked up his Qinghong, and as expected, the shot hit the shot. Immediately caused a burst of surprise to others, and even Guan Yu and Zhao Yun showed unbelievable looks. In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to penetrate Yang in a hundred steps is already a very powerful marksman, and for those who can accurately hit one hundred and fifty steps away, it is almost like a god.

Ji Ling couldn't help but exclaim: "General Tianwei, the last general is impressed!" ”

Feng Xian smiled and said, "Now that I am on the spot, can Your Excellency keep your promise?" ”

Ji Ling replied: "It must be; The last general sent people and horses to Shouchun to report to the lord, and soon withdrew the army back. ”

Feng Xian nodded and said, "Very good; I'll wait and drink the bar. ”

Then, when Yuan Shu learned that Ji Ling requested the withdrawal of troops, he immediately vetoed it and did not allow him to withdraw his troops.

In this regard, Zhou Yu advised in a timely manner: "If the army is not withdrawn at this time, Lu Fengxian and Liu Xuande will inevitably send people to the imperial court to ask for help; At that time, Cao Mengde took the opportunity to lead his army to attack Shouchun, and I am afraid that our army will be unable to resist the joint attack of the three of them. ”

Yuan Shu pondered for a while, and felt that what Zhou Yu said made sense, so he allowed Ji Ling to withdraw his troops.

The next day, Ji Ling set up a banquet and invited us to have a good meal, and then withdrew and left as promised. (To be continued......)
