In the city of Xuzhou, in the study room in the back garden of the official mansion.

Lu Bu and Chen Gong sat facing each other, looking at Chen Gong, a faint smile appeared on the corner of Lu Bu's mouth, and asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, are the people who go to Xiaopei City properly placed?" ”

"Returning to Wenhou, 1,600 elite soldiers have already entered the city with their swords in secret." Holding his fists and bowing, he saluted Lu Bu, and Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "Right now, just wait for Zhang Fei to make trouble, and Wen Hou can attack Xiao Pei!" ”

"Then what should Liu Bei do?" Knowing that he was about to occupy Xiao Pei, Lu Bu was also overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked Chen Gong a question.

"For the sake of not falling behind the heroes of the world, Wen Hou can release Liu Bei." With the same smile on his face, Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "When Liu Bei returns to Xiaopei, he must return the horses to Wen Hou, and when the horses come to Xuzhou, Wen Hou will ask Liu Bei to hand over Zhang Fei on the grounds that Zhang Fei killed the soldiers who sent the horses." ”

"Liu Bei will definitely refuse!" As soon as Chen Gong's words were finished, Lu Bu slapped the low table in front of him and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai is a clever plan, in this way, a certain can justifiably crusade against Xiao Pei!" ”

Chen Gong nodded and said nothing.

Liu Bei was in Xuzhou, even if he saw Lu Bu's secret deployment, it was categorically difficult to respond at this time.

Just when Lu Bu and Chen Gong were discussing how to break through Xiaopei, the voice of a soldier came from outside the door: "Qi Qi Wenhou, Zhang Fei robbed our army's military horses, and killed all the soldiers who escorted the war horses!" ”

"Good!" Hearing the soldier's report, Lu Bu first glanced at each other with Chen Gong, and then suddenly slapped it on the table, stood up with a "Teng", and said to Chen Gong: "Gongtai will go with a certain person to see that Liu Bei, and see what he says!" ”

"No!" With a fist in response, Chen Gong followed Lu Bu out of the study one after the other.

The two left the back garden and went straight to Liu Bei's residence in the front yard.

Liu Bei thought that he had already gotten the news, and at this time he was walking quickly back and forth in the house, rubbing his hands together as he walked.

"Xuande!" Leading Chen Gong, he stepped into Liu Bei's room, and as soon as he entered the house, Lu Bu glared at Liu Bei fiercely and asked him, "Why did the ring-eyed thief rob a certain war horse?" ”

When asked by Lu Bu, Liu Bei was shocked, and hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed towards Lu Bu, but he didn't dare to open his mouth.

"A certain and Xuande are brothers!" Furrowing his brows, he glared at Liu Bei, and seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Bu then asked, "Xuande robbed a certain war horse, but this matter was done by a brother?" ”

Clenching his fists and bowing down, Liu Bei was already soaked with sweat.

He wanted to tell Lu Bu that he would deal with this matter, but he was worried that he would say it, and Lu Bu thought he was going to flee Xuzhou, so he didn't dare to open his mouth.

"That's it!" Liu Bei looked sincerely frightened, Lu Bu's face was gloomy, he sighed, and said to him: "I'm afraid that this matter is also born by leaving Xuande in Xuzhou, Xuande will return to Xiaopei, see what the ring-eyed thief says!" ”

Knowing that Lu Bu was going to let him return to Xiaopei, Liu Bei was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly looked up at Lu Bu, his eyes were full of disbelief.

"Xuande, go back!" With his hands behind his back, Lu Bu turned around and didn't look at Liu Bei again, just waved his hand at him.

After receiving Lu Bu's words, Liu Bei hurriedly thanked Lu Bu as if he had been amnestied, walked out of the room quickly, and went straight to the front door of the official mansion.

Standing at the door, looking at Liu Bei's back walking towards the main gate of the official mansion, Lu Bu and Chen Gong glanced at each other and smiled at each other.

Leaving Xuzhou, Liu Bei was like a lost dog, he didn't dare to delay a little along the way, and galloped towards Xiaopei.

The soldiers guarding the gate of Xiaopei saw Liu Bei suddenly appear at the gate of the city, as if they had seen a ghost, and looked at him in amazement, forgetting to salute him.

There was something in his heart, Liu Bei didn't bother with those soldiers, rushed into the city, and rode his horse towards the official mansion.

Outside the gate of the official mansion, Liu Bei turned over and jumped off the war horse, and as soon as he entered the gate of the official mansion, he asked the soldiers guarding the gate: "Where are the two generals Guan Zhang?" ”

The soldiers in Xiaopei City thought that Liu Bei was dead, and suddenly saw him appear in front of them, and the soldiers guarding the official mansion were also stunned, and quickly knelt on the ground, and the officer who led these soldiers trembled and said to Liu Bei: "Lord Qiqi, the two generals Guan Zhang are ...... in the back garden at this time."

Ignoring the soldiers kneeling on the ground, Liu Bei strode towards the back garden.

Xiaopei is just a small city, and the official mansion will not be as grand as the official mansion in Xuzhou, and after not many steps, Liu Bei has already entered the backyard.

Along the way, he asked several stunned soldiers where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were, and Liu Bei walked straight towards the study in the back garden.

Before he arrived at the door of the study, Liu Bei heard Guan Yu and Zhang Fei arguing in the study.

"Third brother! There is nothing to rob the horses of Lu Bu, but why do you want to kill all the soldiers who escorted the horses? The first thing that came into Liu Bei's ears was Guan Yu's voice, and he only heard Guan Yu's tone full of anxiety and said: "Although the soldier brought back the news that the eldest brother was killed by Lu Bu, but there is no one alive or dead, how can the third brother know that what the soldier said is true?" ”

As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, Liu Bei heard Zhang Fei's loud voice: "Second brother! The eldest brother has not returned to Xiaopei for several days, and the matter is already clear! When Lu Bu's army comes to crusade against Xiao Pei, a certain leader will go to intercept and kill him! ”

Hearing this, Liu Bei strode towards the study, and when he arrived at the door, he pushed the door of the study open.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in the room were immediately furious.

"Damn, who is so ......" Zhang Fei didn't look back, he had already opened his mouth to scold, but before he could say the last word "guts", he swallowed it back raw!

What appeared in front of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was Liu Bei, who they thought was dead.

Standing at the door, Liu Beitie blushed and looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The servants were silent for a while, and then Liu Bei stepped into the house and asked Zhang Fei, "Why is the third brother so reckless, why did he rob Wen Hou's military horse?" ”

"Big brother ......" Guan Yu on the side heard Liu Bei's question, and was about to open his mouth to distinguish Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei waved his hand at him and asked him not to speak.

Being stared at by Liu Bei, Zhang Fei only felt uncomfortable, and was silent for a moment before saying to Liu Bei: "The soldiers who went to Xuzhou with the eldest brother told the younger brother that the eldest brother had been killed by Lu Bu......

"Hey!" Before Zhang Fei's words fell, Liu Bei sighed heavily and asked him: "Where is the military horse, quickly lead a certain person to check!" ”

As soon as Liu Bei said this, Guan Yu immediately understood that he wanted to return the military horse to Lu Bu in exchange for Lu Bu's forgiveness.

"Big brother, the matter has come to this ......" Looking at Liu Bei, Guan Yu said to him: "Why don't you leave the military horses, prepare the soldiers and horses, and wait until Lu Bu comes to fight to the death!" ”

"Fight to the death?" As soon as Guan Yu's words fell, Liu Bei turned his head to look at him and said to him: "Xuzhou soldiers are strong and strong, and the soldiers under our command are limited, how can we fight to the death with them?" ”

When Liu Bei asked like this, Guan Yu was also stunned for a moment, and then didn't say anything more.

"Quickly lead a certain person to check!" Twisting his brows, Liu Bei waved his hand at Zhang Fei and urged him again.

In his heart, he had the same idea as Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei didn't want to return the military horse to Lu Bu.

But Liu Bei repeatedly urged, and in desperation, he had to stand sideways and say to Liu Bei: "The military horse has been sent to the barracks, big brother, please go with the younger brother to check!" ”

glaring at Zhang Fei very depressedly, Liu Bei strode out of the study.

Seeing Liu Bei walk out, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu glanced at each other, and then followed out of the room.

Xiaopei's military camp is not very far from the official mansion, out of the official mansion, riding a horse without walking for a long time, Liu Bei and others entered the military camp.

As soon as he entered the barracks, the brothers Mi Zhu and Mi Fang in the barracks greeted him.

Seeing Liu Bei coming with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the two brothers were stunned for a moment, and then they bowed to him with their fists in their hands, and Mi Zhu said to Liu Bei: "I heard that Uncle Huang was killed by Lu Bu, and now I am preparing soldiers and horses, intending to fight to the death with Lu Bu!" ”

Hearing Mi Fang's words, Liu Bei sighed, turned over and jumped off the horse, waved his hand at the Mi brothers, and said to them as he walked forward: "Lu Bu just stayed in Xuzhou for a few days, and you will make a lot of trouble when you wait." Have you ever thought about how our army can fight against Lu Bu? ”

was asked by Liu Bei, and everyone didn't say anything more.

They all know very well that now Liu Bei has only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but in Xuzhou City, there are 40,000 or 50,000 male soldiers.

Once the two armies really fight, if Lu Bu wants to break Xiao Pei, I'm afraid it will only take a month or two.

"Check the number of horses!" Glancing around at the few people standing in front of him, Liu Bei said to them: "Immediately order someone to send the war horse to Xuzhou, and if you meet the consequences, you will bear it!" ”

"Uncle Huang!" Before Liu Bei's words fell, Mi Zhu said to him with an embarrassed face: "When General Zhang robbed the war horse, he also cut off the heads of all the soldiers under Lu Bu who escorted the war horse......

"Since the matter has come to this, what if Uncle Huang leaves the war horse behind and fights with Na Lu Bu?" Mi Zhu stopped talking halfway through his words, but Mi Fang on the side didn't care about that much, and said to Liu Bei: "Even if you fight him, we can lead the soldiers and horses, and go to other places with the emperor's uncle!" ”

"Where can I go?" As soon as Mi Fang's words were finished, Liu Bei sighed and said: "Huainan Yuan Shu has now rebelled against the imperial court and called the emperor, and if we serve him, we will be rebellious!" Xuchang Cao Cao has always coveted Xuzhou, if he attacks Xuzhou, he must break Xiaopei first, and it is not appropriate to go to him to vote. Then there is Xuzhou Lu Bu......"

Before the analysis was finished, Liu Bei raised his face and closed his eyes, and two lines of turbid tears were already rolling down his cheeks.

Seeing him crying again, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu glanced at each other and turned their heads to the side, while the Mi brothers were panicked and hurriedly opened their mouths to comfort.
