As soon as he returned to the palace from inspecting the barracks, Liu Wei entered the main gate of the palace and ran over to him.

The guard half-knelt on the ground, holding a letter in both hands, and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness, the scout has sent a letter. ”

Taking the letter from the guard's hand, Liu Wei unfolded it and skimmed it briefly, smiled slightly, shook his head, and said as if talking to himself: "Poor Tao Qian, in order to please others, he offended Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that it would lead the wolf into the room." ”

Following behind Liu Wei, hearing him say this, Wang Liu and Wang Zhen were both confused, and the two glanced at each other, although they were puzzled in their hearts, they didn't have a good way to ask Liu Wei.

"Look at it." Liu Wei didn't look back, but just stretched his hand back and handed the letter to the two.

Wang Zhen reached out and took the letter, unfolded it and read it with Wang Liu.

After finishing reading, the two raised their heads and looked at Liu Wei, their eyes became more and more confused.

"Your Highness, why didn't the two of us see that Tao Qian led the wolf into the room?" With doubts in his heart, Wang Zhen hesitated for a moment, and finally asked Liu Wei.

"Why did Tao Qian's family get it from Cao Cao?" Raised his feet and walked towards the back garden, and as he walked, Liu Wei asked the two of them.

"The letter just said that after Tao Qian's family left Xuzhou, they met Cao Jun in ambush halfway, and it was only after Cao Cao obtained it." Following behind Liu Wei, Wang Zhen responded.

"Leaving Xuzhou, Tao Qian's family chose to go straight south." Liu Wei didn't look back, but the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and said to Wang Zhen and Wang Liu: "Cao Cao's army is now stationed in the area of Mount Tai, one south and one north, if there is no internal response, how to intercept and kill Tao Qian's family?" ”

"The Xuzhou army that can protect Tao Qian's family has also been killed......" first picked up a sentence of Liu Bian's words, and before he finished speaking, Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked Liu Bian: "What does Your Highness mean, ...... in Xuzhou City?" ”

"Exactly!" Nodding, the corners of Liu Yan's mouth tugged slightly, and he said to the two sisters: "Then Liu Bei, in order to leave a good name, is probably crying in Xuzhou City now, crying that Tao Qian's family was harmed by Cao Cao, and vowed to avenge them." Since Xiahou Yuan killed 10,000 Xuzhou troops, the Xuzhou army and people are now the same enemy, if the Cao army is approaching in a big way, it will definitely bear the full resistance of the Xuzhou army and people, but in a few days, Cao Cao will definitely retreat! ”

At the same time that Liu Wei received the letter, the main force of Cao's army in the area of Mount Tai was just as he guessed, packing his bags and planning to withdraw to Xuchang.

In Xuzhou City, Liu Bei was also lying on the table, crying loudly.

"Cao thief has no form, he dares to intercept and kill the entire Tao Gong clan halfway!" Crying bitterly, while hammering the table with his fist, Liu Bei howled loudly, gritted his teeth and roared: "A certain point is to gather the three armies and pursue the Cao thief!" ”

As he spoke, Liu Beiteng stood up and said to everyone in the standing hall: "Everyone is willing to follow a certain person who pursues the Cao thief, take a step forward!" ”

"Let the monarch be arrogant, and wish the monarch a victory!" Before Liu Bei's words fell, Chen Gong stepped forward and bowed with his fists in celebration.

Chen Gong's words made Liu Bei stunned for a moment, he thought that someone would persuade him not to pursue, and then he went down the steps to find a hurdle, but he didn't expect that Chen Gong would pull him up at once.

Originally, Mi Zhu and the others wanted to persuade Liu Bei Mo to pursue Cao Cao and give Liu Bei a step, but they didn't expect Chen Gong to speak so quickly.

At this time, if they stood up to dissuade Liu Bei again, it could only be said that they had discussed with Liu Bei in advance and forcibly acted on it.

Choked by Chen Gong's words, Liu Bei was also stunned.

He regretted a little, regretting that in order to achieve a better effect during the show, he invited Lu Bu and others.

Unexpectedly, Lu Bu's subordinates not only did not play a role in witnessing his loyalty, but instead stabbed him in the back.

"Thank you!" It was already difficult to ride a tiger, Liu Bei had to arch towards Chen Gong with his fists, and then shouted to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Two virtuous brothers, follow one of the same troops out of the city!" ”

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei responded very reluctantly, and Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others also glanced at each other with entanglement.

In desperation, Mi Zhu had to take a step forward, clasped his fists and said to Liu Bei: "Uncle Huang, the thief Cao is powerful, Cheng Yu came here earlier, it was to force Uncle Huang to hand over Xuzhou, and Uncle Huang led the army to pursue, in case ......"

As Mi Zhu spoke, Chen Gong glanced at Wei Xu, who had come here with him and Lu Bu.

Seeing Chen Gong's eyes, Wei Xu stepped forward, waved his hand, and said loudly: "Crying for a long time, what is the disturbance?" If the imperial uncle does not dare to go, he is willing to lead the troops to pursue! ”

Wei Xu's words, although they did not point out the hypocrisy of saying that Liu Bei was crying, but there was that meaning in his words.

Zhang Feihuan glared at him, and shouted at Wei Xu: "Wei Xu, what are you doing?" ”

After this shout, Zhang Fei was already clenching his fists tightly and took a step forward.

"General Zhang, don't be annoyed!" Zhang Fei took a step forward, Wei Xu also took a step forward with his eyes in his eyes, seeing that the two of them were about to fight in the hall, Chen Gong hurriedly said: "General Wei is also kind, Liu Yuanjun is sitting in Xuzhou, how can he easily get out of the city?" General Wei's willingness to leave the city on behalf of the envoy is also a good intention! ”

was provoked by Chen Gong like this, Liu Bei had to go out of the city without going out, otherwise he would be charged with hypocrisy.

Although hypocrisy has long become commonplace for Liu Bei, in front of others, he still wants to maintain the image of a kind elder.

Gritting his teeth, Liu Bei raised his arm, waved at everyone, and said to everyone in the hall: "Don't say anything, you have made up your mind, and you will definitely send troops to pursue Cao Jun." ”

As he spoke, Liu Bei raised his feet and walked towards the door of the hall, and when he passed by the last pillar of the hall, he turned his head and said to everyone in the hall: "Mi Zhu and Mi Fang are guarding Xuzhou City on behalf of a certain town, and Wen Hou asks for help from the two generals, and must ensure the stability of the Xuzhou army and people!" ”

"Rest assured!" Without waiting for Mi Zhu and Mi Fang to respond, Lu Bu had already stepped forward and arched his fist towards Liu Bei.

After explaining that Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were in Xuzhou, Liu Bei stepped out of the hall, followed by Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, and also walked out of Xuzhou.

When Liu Bei led Guan Yu and Zhang Fei out of the hall, Lu Bu also took Chen Gong and Wei Xu and walked out of the hall.

Out of the hall, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, and Wei Xu were leading more than a dozen guards in the direction of the barracks, and a group of cavalry came over.

There were not many cavalrymen in this team, and it was Liu Bei who took the lead.

Seeing Lu Bu from afar, Liu Bei clamped his legs towards the horse's abdomen, rode up to meet him, hugged his fists and said to Lu Bu: "Wen Hou, prepare a division to defeat Cao Thief, Xuzhou will rely on Wen Hou!" ”

"Rest assured!" Clenched his fists and arched towards Liu Bei, Lu Bu glanced behind Liu Bei, and asked with some doubts: "The envoy crusaded against Cao Thief, didn't he only lead these soldiers?" ”

"The two virtuous brothers are ordering, and at noon today, they should be able to go on the expedition!" Putting down his fists and looking at Lu Bu, Liu Bei sighed lightly and said to Lu Bu: "Please ask the Tao family to go out of the city, because I want them to stay away from the Cao thief, but I don't want to, the Cao thief set up an ambush ...... earlier than halfway."

"Now think about it, prepare this ...... in your heart" As he spoke, Liu Bei sighed and turned his head to the side.

"Make the king loyal and righteous, and know something!" Riding a red rabbit horse, Lu Bu, like Liu Bei, sighed and said to Liu Bei: "I wish you a great success!" ”

"Thank you for your wait!" Arching towards Lu Bu with his fists again, Liu Bei shook the reins, led a team of cavalry, and went straight to the city gate.

Turning his head to look at Liu Bei's departing back, the corners of Lu Bu's mouth pulled slightly, and when Liu Bei walked away, he shook off the reins, gently clamped his legs towards the horse's belly, and rode towards the barracks with Chen Gong.

Lu Bu's military camp is in an abandoned corner of Xuzhou City.

Lu Bu's army, which originally guarded Xiaopei, now came to Xuzhou, Liu Bei and his staff did not trust Lu Bu, although Xuzhou's city defense needed manpower, but they did not dare to give up the key military camp to them, so they opened up another boundary for them to garrison.

Outside Lu Bu's barracks, there was also a Xuzhou army stationed.

Although the number of this Xuzhou army is small, it chokes the main road for Lu Bu's army to directly enter the hinterland of Xuzhou City, and once Lu Bu makes a move, the entire Xuzhou soldiers and horses will immediately press on him.

One thing has been confirmed in Luoyang City, although Lu Bu is brave, but there are not many soldiers and horses under his command.

In terms of numbers, Liu Bei was far superior, and when Liu Bei was in the city, he was not worried about what Lu Bu would do, but once he was about to leave the city, this worry became more and more intense.

As soon as he returned to the barracks, Lu Bu was working with Chen Gong to return to the barracks to discuss what to do with Liu Bei after he left the city, when a soldier guarding the camp gate ran towards him quickly.

When Lu Bu approached, the soldier clenched his fists and bowed down, and said to Lu Bu: "Qi Qi Wenhou, the military camp of the Xuzhou army has suddenly increased the number of people, and the number of people is nearly twice that of our army. ”

"Liu Bei, is this going to fight Cao Cao, or is he going to fight so-and-so?" Knowing that outside his barracks, the Xuzhou military camp not far from him suddenly increased in number, Lu Bu frowned, turned around and was about to walk outside the barracks, and as he walked, he said angrily: "So-and-so, I'll go to the big-eared boy to comment!" ”

"Warm and slow!" As soon as Lu Bu turned around, Chen Gong hurriedly stopped him and said to him: "Don't be bored, you have something to say!" ”

Stopped by Chen Gong, Lu Bu was stunned for a moment, stopped, raised his hand and pointed towards the tooth gate of the barracks, and asked Chen Gong: "The big-eared child is so bullying, how can he bear it?" ”

"If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan!" Holding his fists and bowing slightly to Lu Bu, Chen Gong said to him: "Wen Hou Yongwu, even if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are all in Xuzhou City, they are not Wen Hou's opponents, and now the two of them are out of the city with Liu Bei, once Wen Hou is in trouble, who else in the city can balance Wen Hou?" Then Liu Bei is just reserving a hand, why is Wen Hou so angry? ”
