Now that Cao's reinforcements have arrived, Chen Gong knows that he has lost the opportunity, and he has no choice but to fade the whole army. He was already a tired army, plus there were enemy troops attacking and disrupting the supply line, if he allowed this matter to continue, then he would only be defeated all the way, so as early as he learned that Cao's army suddenly appeared, Chen Gong and Lu Bu had already led their cronies to evacuate. And knowing that the commander had retreated, the soldiers of Lu Bu's army naturally lost their morale, and they either fled or surrendered, and for a while, Lu Bu's army, which was still in high spirits, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

For this situation, Liu Bei finally breathed a deep sigh of relief. arranged for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to try their best to persuade the soldiers who captured Lu Bu alive, and then he personally led people to meet Cao Jun. The reason why he was able to turn the crisis into safety was because of the timely appearance of Cao Jun's reinforcements.

Seeing that Liu Bei came to visit in person, the soldiers of Cao Jun took Liu Bei to meet the commander of the reinforcements was Cao Ren. And his lobbyist Jian Yong was following Cao Ren at this time. When Jian Yong saw Liu Bei, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Jian Yong has seen the lord. Jian Yong saw that Liu Bei's clothes were ragged, and there was blood dripping from his armor and weapons, he knew that Liu Bei must have experienced a bitter battle just now, otherwise, Liu Bei would not have looked like this.

"Jian Yong is late, and I hope that the lord will forgive his sins." Jian Yong's whole body was prostrate in front of Liu Bei, and his tone was very sad. Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly picked up Jian Yong and said: "What did Xian He say, if you hadn't brought General Cao to come in time, Xiao Pei would have already been broken by Lu Bu, and I'm afraid that he would be in a different place." ”

After saying to Jian Yong, Liu Bei turned his head to Cao Ren and said, "I'm tired that General Cao Ren led his troops to rescue Liu Bei, and asked the general to go into the city to rest." The reason why Liu Bei said this is because the defense of Xiaopei City is in danger, although Lu Bu has withdrawn, but this is only one city gate, and there are already three city gates, and there are many Lu Bu's soldiers. Second, Liu Bei could also see that the Cao army who came to help was very tired.

And Cao Ren did not refuse Liu Bei's suggestion, and said in a deep voice: "There is General Lao Liu." After speaking, Cao Ren led the team to Xiao Pei Dang. Lu Bu's army was about to be defeated, but Cao Ren's army did not have the strength to fight at all.

In order to be able to rescue Liu Bei in time, Cao Ren had to give up most of his baggage and materials and go into battle lightly. And in addition, Cao Ren obeyed Zhao Fei's wishes, Cao Ren led 3,000 soldiers, and did not hesitate to spend physical strength to rush to Liu Bei's aid, the purpose was to be afraid of anything other than halfway. And it was precisely for Zhao Fei's suggestion that Chen Gong did not notice Cao Ren's 3,000 soldiers, so it led to the defeat of the army.

In fact, Cao Ren's 3,000 military horses were just for deterrence, and they had no combat power at all. After all, traveling lightly to aid Liu Bei made the bodies of these 3,000 reinforcements somewhat unbearable. They traveled day and night, for fear that Xiao Pei would be broken if they missed the hour. Such a hard march, even Cao Ren's strong physique was a little unbearable, not to mention the rest of the soldiers.

And Liu Bei saw that Cao Ren did not refuse at all, but really brought three thousand soldiers into Xiaopei City, and Liu Bei's eyes flashed with a gleam of meaning. At this time, it was the time to pursue the victory, and Lu Bujun must have been very frightened when he learned that Cao's reinforcements had arrived. On the other hand, although their soldiers have experienced war, their morale is still there, and they still have the strength to fight.

Lü Bu's army broke and fled, and he must have panicked, and many soldiers were separated from Lü Bu's army, and Liu Bei's target was these people. Xiao Pei's lack of soldiers, especially the war he experienced, dwarfed Xiao Pei, who originally had few soldiers. In addition, Xiaopei is sparsely populated, and most of the young and strong troops in Xiaopei City have been recruited by Liu Bei, so it is difficult for Liu Bei to have the ability to find a team of soldiers in a short period of time.

Without a soldier stationed, he is the most deceitful piece of fat among the wolves. When the time comes, I am afraid that the powerful bandits and bandits will dare to fight their own Ruyi, and Liu Bei will definitely not let this happen. Therefore, he set his sights on Lu Bu.

As long as he can capture Lu Bu's desertion army, then he can join his own army. Moreover, these soldiers are all soldiers of Xuzhou, and in their own name in Xuzhou, it is not a problem to subdue these soldiers. Even if his benevolence and righteousness are not good, he still has two peerless generals about Yu and Zhang Fei. Although the strength of the two is slightly inferior to Lu Bu, they are more than one step stronger than those wine bags and rice bags under Lu Bu's command. So even if he can't do it, the two tiger generals can already stand firmly in the army, so Liu Bei will not be afraid of this at all.

Knowing that the opportunity could not be lost, Liu Bei hurriedly ordered Zhang Fei and Guan Yu to search for Lu Bu's deserters with their respective escorts. Moreover, Liu Bei gave the two of them a death order, those who can be captured alive will be captured, and those who can be persuaded to surrender will be persuaded to surrender, in short, in a word, do your best to hold Lu Bu's desertion.

Zhang Fei was very puzzled by this order. In his opinion, when he saw Lu Bu's sergeant, he couldn't wait to kill him quickly, but Liu Bei actually let himself bypass them and try his best to persuade him to surrender, which Zhang Fei really found a little difficult to accept.

And Liu Bei naturally knew who Zhang Fei was, but the crisis in the form of this matter could not be delayed for too much time, so he didn't have time to explain his hard work, and in the end Liu Bei could only speak: "Yide, even if you are a big brother, please try to capture Lu Bu alive." Saying that, Liu Bei also wanted to give a salute to Zhang Fei.

And how dare Zhang Fei accept Liu Bei's gift, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Liu Bei and said: "Since the eldest brother has spoken, then I will bypass their lives and try to capture them alive, but if they resist stubbornly, I can't watch my soldiers die." ”

"It's nature." Liu Bei nodded and said: "We mainly focus on persuasion, but if someone is stubborn, then our army will naturally not be slaughtered." There was a hint of determination in Liu Bei's words, although this military fate was very important, Liu Bei would not disregard the lives of his soldiers because of this.

"In that case, please rest assured, eldest brother, I will definitely follow my eldest brother's arrangement." Saying that, Zhang Fei clenched his fists, and then took the soldiers under his command to choose a direction, and then carried his Zhangba snake spear and led the soldiers to chase into the distance. And Liu Bei and Guan Yu were not ambiguous, and led people to chase them around. There is Cao Jun in the city to defend the city, although Cao Jun lacks physical strength, but for Lu Bujun, who is already like a frightened bird, he will naturally not be afraid. Since the nest is worry-free, Liu Bei dares to do things boldly with confidence.

Two hours later, the three people who were chasing Lu Bu's rout army rushed over one after another. This trip was very fruitful, and the three roads captured more than 1,000 of Lu Bu's defeated army. And Liu Bei was naturally overjoyed by this, these defeated troops were all Lu Bu's elite, as long as he could subdue more than 1,000 people, it would be a new force. And with this group of new forces, I will have less worries about writing.

"Now lock up these Lu Bu troops." Liu Bei whispered to Guan Yu. It's not that Liu Bei trusts Guan Yu more, it's that Zhang Fei is too reckless, and Zhang Fei is very dissatisfied with Lu Bu, so judging from Zhang Fei's temper, he will definitely take revenge on Lu Bu's soldiers for this matter. Liu Bei wants to take these soldiers for his own use, and if he does it for Zhang Fei, it will definitely be self-defeating.

Guan Yu naturally knew what Liu Bei meant, and then hurriedly went down to prepare. And Liu Bei took Zhang Fei to visit Cao Ren, after all, he could turn the corner or rely on him, if it weren't for him, Xiao Pei would have already been defeated by Lu Bu, so at least he should come to thank him.

"Yide, you and I will go with you to meet General Cao Ren." Liu Bei turned his head and said to Zhang Fei, and then left with Zhang Fei, while Guan Yu was responsible for secretly escorting these routs of Lu Bu's army.

Liu Bei brought Zhang Fei and several of his advisors to visit Cao Ren, and Cao Ren at this moment has experienced a period of recovery, but his physical condition is much better.

"Thank you General Cao Ren for saving me so desperately, if it weren't for General Cao Ren, I'm afraid I would have become Lu Bu's prisoner." Saying that, Liu Bei bowed to Cao Renshen.

Cao Ren naturally accepted this. He and the soldiers under his command worked so hard to rescue Liu Bei, so Liu Bei gave a salute because he rescued him, and Cao Ren thought that this matter was a matter of course.

"General Liu doesn't need to be polite, I am also on orders, if General Liu really wants to thank you, then I will thank Lord Taiwei if I have the opportunity, if it is not Taiwei, I specially asked me to let me lead 3,000 soldiers to come to Xiaopei day and night, I am afraid I will not be able to come to the rescue urgently. Moreover, the plan to retreat Lu Bu was also the attention of Lord Taiwei, and it was he who ordered me to use less to make the crowd deceive Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu would withdraw in a panic. Cao Ren said in a deep voice.

And listening to Cao Ren's words, Liu Bei was shocked. Zhao Fei was far away in Xuchang, but he could see all the opportunities, and he was thousands of miles away, so he could decide the outcome of the war, for which Liu Bei deeply admired. And in this regard, Liu Bei was also jealous, and he resented in his heart, why Zhao Fei didn't do things under his command. With a strategist like Zhao Fei by his side, he is definitely better than a million heroes.

The generals around him are strong, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all inappropriate warriors, but they just lack a decent strategist to give advice to themselves in the overall situation of power, to command the three armies for themselves. But after waiting for so long, there is still no such person in front of him, how can Liu Bei not regret it.

But even if Liu Bei was unhappy, he was helpless. What kind of identity does he have, but Zhao Fei is classified as a captain. Taiwei is one of the three princes and is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses. Moreover, Zhao Fei's lieutenant is not a vain position, he is deeply trusted by Cao Cao and has the ability to take charge of the army under Cao Jun. Moreover, whether it is a military general of the Cao clan or a military general with a foreign surname, as long as he is a military general who holds an important position in the Cao army, he has great respect for Zhao Fei.

With such a status and identity, how could Liu Bei He De be able to let Zhao Fei take refuge in himself.
