Chapter 89: Determination (Part 2)

Du Chen shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, by the way, Meng De, what are you looking for me?" ”

Cao Cao pondered for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Si Lang, now that everything in Xu Du has been decided, Cao thinks of Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian, two enemies, after your wedding banquet yesterday, Cao asked his subordinates what to do." Zhong Kang wanted to lead the troops to the east and behead Liu Xuande and Lu Fengxian. Sillang, what do you think? ”

Du Chen touched his smooth chin and said: "Well, originally Liu Bei and Lu Bu and the two, we don't have to worry about him, the two of them will have a dispute on their own, and now Xu Du has decided that it is not appropriate to use soldiers, we can use the two tigers to fight for food, and let Liu Bei and Lu Bu kill each other."

When Cao Cao heard this, he asked, "What is the solution to this plan?" Du Chen said a few words in Cao Cao's ear, and after Cao Cao heard it, he stroked his palms and smiled: "Haha, there is Si Lang's plan, except for Liu Lu and the two of them!" According to Du Chen's plan, Cao Cao asked Emperor Xian to make Liu Bei the general of Zhengdong, the marquis of Yicheng Pavilion and the pastor of Xuzhou, and secretly sent a secret letter. The angel came to Xuzhou and read the holy decree to Liu Bei, who thanked him and set up a banquet to entertain the angel. The angel said: "Liu Yuanjun won this position, but he was actually strongly sponsored by General Cao. Then he took out Cao Cao's secret book. When Liu Bei saw it, he asked him to kill Lu Bu, a slave surnamed the third family, and said, "This matter must be discussed slowly." Liu Bei arranged for the angel to rest, and Zhang Fei, who knew about it, wanted to kill Lu Bu immediately, but Liu Bei refused. The next day, Lu Bu came to congratulate Liu Bei on his appointment, and Zhang Fei wanted to kill Lu Bu. Lu Bu asked in surprise, "Why did Yide kill me?" Zhang Fei said: "Cao Cao said that you are an unrighteous person, and he wants my brother to kill you!" Liu Bei drank back Zhang Fei, led Lu Bu to the back hall, took out the letter and showed it to Lu Bu, and said, "I will never do anything unjust." Lu Bu thanked him and went back, and Guan and Zhang both complained that Liu Bei should not let Lu Bu go. Liu Bei said: "This is Cao Cao's trick, let me and Lu Bu kill each other, so that he can profit from it." Guan Yu thought that Liu Bei had done the right thing, but Zhang Fei was still angry. The angel returned to Cao Cao and said that Liu Bei was unwilling to kill Lu Bu. After Cao Cao knew, he came to the Taiwei Mansion, and in the Taiwei Mansion at this time, Du Chen's days were really cool. Qin Xi massaged, Cai Yan played the piano, Zhang Ning fed him fruits to eat, and he was a little evil. Du Chen's eyes were sharp, and Cao Cao saw it as soon as he entered the door. Du Chen didn't move, and said lazily: "Meng De, is Liu Bei unwilling to kill Lu Bu?" Cao Cao smiled, "I really can't hide anything from Si Lang, that's right, Liu Xuande has always boasted of benevolence and righteousness, and he didn't kill Lu Bu." Du Chen sneered, and came up with another plan for Cao Cao, that is, to drive the tiger and devour the wolf. After Cao Cao heard this, he hurriedly implemented Du Chen's plan. As soon as Cao Cao left, Qin Xi asked: "Husband, then Liu Xuande is a benevolent and righteous person, husband, you want to kill him again and again, isn't it a little ......" Du Chen hugged Qin Xi and laughed, "Qin Xi, do you know, Liu Xuande is indeed a benevolent and righteous person, but if you don't kill him now, he will become a climate in the future, and it will not be easy to kill him, and this person is not simple." Qin Xi was very puzzled, and was about to say something, but she heard Du Chen smile lewdly, "Haha, whatever, Qin Xi, come, continue the massage." "Now let's talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao followed the plan, on the one hand, he sent someone to tell Yuan Shu, saying that Liu Bei was going to attack him, and on the other hand, he falsely passed on the holy decree and sent Liu Bei to attack Yuan Shu. Liu Bei saw the holy decree, and Mi Zhu said: "This is Cao Cao's trick again." Liu Bei said: "Although I know that it is a plan, the king's order cannot be disobeyed." "Just ask who can guard Xuzhou. Guan Yu has to guard, Liu Bei has many things to discuss with him, and he can't leave. Zhang Fei wanted to guard, and Liu Bei was afraid that he would get drunk and make a mistake. Zhang Fei said: "In the future, I will not drink alcohol, I will not fight sergeants, and I will listen to people's advice on everything." Liu Bei was still not at ease, so he sent Chen Deng to help Zhang Fei defend the city, so as not to let Zhang Fei get drunk and make mistakes, so he left Xuzhou with 20,000 horses. When Yuan Shu heard that Liu Bei was coming to attack him, he scolded Liu Bei for being just a pariahs who sold straw sandals, and dared to annex his prefectures and counties, and sent the general Ji Ling to lead 100,000 troops to meet the enemy. The two armies met in Xuyi, and Ji Ling and Guan Yu fought for fifty rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Ji Ling's deputy general Xun Zheng fought for merit and fought with Guan Yu, and was hacked to death in only one round. Ji Ling was defeated and retreated to the mouth of the Huaiyin River. Several night attacks on Liu Bei were defeated. Zhang Fei guarded Xuzhou and handed over daily chores to Chen Deng, and he only handled military affairs. On this day, he feasted the officials and said, "My brother is leaving, tell me not to drink, get drunk with you today, quit drinking tomorrow, and help me defend the city." "After that, he poured wine for the officials. Coming to Cao Bao, Cao Bao said, "I can't drink by nature. Zhang Fei didn't comply, and insisted that Cao Bao have a drink. After a short time, Zhang Fei was already drunk and toasted again, but Cao Bao still didn't drink. Zhang Fei was angry and wanted to beat Cao Bao. Chen Deng persuaded him, but Zhang Fei did not listen. Cao Bao said: "Please see my son-in-law's face and spare me." Zhang Fei asked, "Who is your son-in-law?" Cao Bao said, "Lu Bu." Zhang Fei jumped like thunder: "If I beat you, I will beat Lu Bu!" Everyone couldn't persuade him, so Zhang Fei ordered Cao Bao to be beaten fifty times. Cao Bao held a grudge and sent someone to ask Lu Bu to attack Xuzhou. In Xiaopei City, Chen Gong said: "Wenhou, now that Liu Xuande's house is not in Xuzhou, we can cooperate with Cao Bao and seize Xuzhou." Lu Bu said: "According to what the public station said. Lu Bu personally led five hundred cavalry to go first, and Chen Gong led a large army to respond. During the fourth watch, Cao Bao opened the city, and Lu Bu came in. Zhang Fei was aroused, because he had not woken up from the wine, his limbs were weak, he barely lifted his spear and got on the horse, and he went out to see Lu Bu, and he couldn't meet the enemy. Lu Bu was also afraid of Zhang Fei's courage and did not dare to attack. Zhang Fei only took eighteen horsemen and cronies out of the east gate, and he didn't even care about Liu Bei's family. Cao Bao bullied Zhang Fei when he was drunk and did not wake up to chase and kill, and was stabbed to death by Zhang Fei with a spear. Zhang Fei took in the soldiers who had escaped from the city and went to find Liu Bei. Lü Bu occupied Xuzhou and sent a hundred people to protect Liu Bei's home, and no one was allowed to enter without permission. Zhang Fei found Liu Bei and told the story of Cao Bao and Lu Buri Yingwai's joint attack on Xuzhou. Liu Bei could see it, but Guan Yu complained to Zhang Fei: "What did you say when you were defending the city?" Zhang Fei was so ashamed that he was about to commit suicide when he drew his sword. Liu Bei hurriedly hugged him, and it was easy to persuade him to come down. When Yuan Shu learned of this, he sent someone to see Lu Bu and promised to give 50,000 grains, 500 horses, 10,000 taels of gold and silver, and 1,000 pieces of colored satin, so that Lu Bu could attack Liu Bei. Lü Bu ordered Zhang Liao, one of the eight generals, to lead 50,000 troops to attack Liu Bei. Maybe God didn't let Liu Bei die, it rained in the sky that day, Liu Bei took advantage of the rain to withdraw his army, and prepared to take Guangling east. When Zhang Liao saw Ji Ling, he asked for the promised items. Ji Ling said: "I'll talk about it when I go back to see the lord." Zhang Liao came back and told Lu Bu. Lu Buzheng was angry, and Yuan Shu's letter arrived, saying that it was an item that was given to Xu only by catching Liu Bei. Lu Bu scolded Yuan Shu for not keeping his word and wanted to crusade against Yuan Shu. At this time, Chen Gong persuaded Lu Bu to mention that Liu Bei would return to Xiaopei, and the two families would unite, first take Yuan Shu, and then take Yuan Shao, so that they could run rampant in the world. Liu Bei took Guangling, was robbed by Yuan Shu, lost most of the men and horses, received Lu Bu's letter, and returned to Xuzhou. Lu Bu was afraid that Liu Bei would be suspicious, so he sent Liu Bei's family back first. When the two ladies of Gan and Elk saw Xuande, Gu said that Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to set the door of the house. No one is allowed to enter; He often made his concubines give gifts, and there was no shortcoming. Xuande said Guan and Zhang said: "I know that Lu Bu will not harm my family." "It is to enter the city of Sherüb. Zhang Fei hated Lu Bu and refused to go with him, so he went to Xiaopei with his second sister-in-law first. Xuande entered to see Lu Bu and thank him. Lu Bu said: "I don't want to take the city; Because his younger brother Zhang Fei was drinking and killing people here, he was afraid of a wreck, so he came to guard his ears. Xuande said: "I want to let my brother stay for a long time." "The cloth is still pretending to let Xuande. Xuande resigned, and also lived in Tun Xiaopei. Guan and Zhang were not angry. Xuande said: "Bend down and keep your points, so that when the time comes, you can't fight with fate." "Lu Bu asked people to send grain and satin horses. Since then, the two families have reconciled.
