The man replied: "I was sent by the prime minister to write a book to Liu Yuzhou, as for the content of the book, I don't know!" ”

So Lu Bu took out the letter and read it, which read: "I was ordered by the prime minister to plot against Lu Bu, and I was trying to find a way every day, but my troops were too small to dare to act rashly, and I asked the prime minister to lead the army to conquer by himself, I am willing to be the vanguard, waiting for your order." ”

This incident made Lu Bu very angry, and scolded: "How can Cao thief do this? So he asked the armor to drag the man out and kill him on the spot, and then sent Chen Gong, Zang Ba, Jielian Taishan Kou Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, and Chang Xi to the east to attack several counties in Yanzhou, Shandong, preparing to send Zhang Liao and Gao Shun to take Xiaopei to attack Liu Bei, and send Song Xian and Wei Xu to the west to attack the counties, and he himself was prepared to rescue the two armies for the Chinese army.

However, when counting the number of people, he found that Zhang Liao was not there, so he asked, "Where did Zhang Liao go?" ”

Chen Gong said: "He was sent out to monitor Yuyi!" ”

Lu Bu thought of this matter at this time, and he couldn't care about it so much, everything went according to the original plan.

In the evening, someone reported that Zhang Liao had returned, and also brought back Diao Chan, Lu Bu was overjoyed, he was ready to step forward to hug Diao Chan, but the other party was a whip, but Lu Bu's martial arts were too high, so he grabbed the whip directly with his hand, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the temper of the concubine is good!" ”

Diao Chan said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, or kill me!" ”

Lu Bu didn't expect Diao Chan to be so strong, compared with the previous gentleness, there was a huge gap, and he had to step forward, but Diao Chan actually took out a dagger from his arms and put it on his neck, ready to commit suicide at any time.

This time it was Lu Bu's turn to be a little helpless, he instructed others, "Take Diao Chan down, you must serve me well, and wait for my triumphant return!" ”

After Diao Chan went down, Lu Bu asked Zhang Liao about the situation, and learned that Yu Yi actually had some information, and this time he went out to go to Hao Diao Chan, but fortunately, he appeared in time, and he could have killed Yu Yi on the spot, but he was lucky enough to let the other party escape, and fortunately, he brought his wife Diao Chan back. After hearing this, Lu Bu praised Zhang Liao, and then asked Gao Shun to tell Zhang Liao about the new battle plan, and left.

At this time, Lu Bu was bent on seeking revenge on Cao Cao, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Diao Chan's affairs.

Lu Bu's plan was being implemented, Gao Shun took the soldiers and horses out of Xuzhou and marched in the direction of Xiaopei, the news reached Liu Bei, he naturally understood the situation, and hurriedly gathered everyone to discuss countermeasures.

Sun Qian said: "We have already taken refuge in Cao Cao, we can find him to help us." ”

Liu Bei said: "Who can take on this heavy responsibility, go and tell Cao Cao the situation!" ”

A man appeared below and said, "I'm willing to go." ”

It was a fellow villager of Liu Bei, and now he was a guest of Liu Bei, so Liu Bei immediately wrote a letter to him, asking him to go to Xu Du overnight for help, on the other hand, Liu Bei began to rectify the equipment for defending the city, and then set a plan for guarding, he himself guarded the south gate, Sun Qian guarded the north gate, Guan Yu guarded the east gate, and sent Mi Zhu and his brother Mi Fang to guard the Chinese army.

Liu Bei's arrangement makes sense, because Mi Zhu has a younger sister who married Liu Bei as a concubine, and Liu Bei is related to him, so he sent him to guard the Chinese army, the purpose of which is to protect his wife and child.

Just as the defense was arranged, the shouts of rain in the city were heard.

After Yuyi returned from Hanoi, he rushed to Xiaopei non-stop, and heard some news on the way, saw the situation in Xuzhou, and knew that Xiaopei was dangerous, so he rushed back, and saw that the city gate was closed everywhere, and some defense facilities were built, presumably Liu Bei got the news faster.

Liu Bei hurriedly welcomed Yuyi into the city, and said with a wry smile: "The fourth brother actually doesn't have to come back, now Xiaopei is in danger!" ”

Yu Yi said: "What is the big brother talking about, our four brothers share blessings and difficulties, how can I abandon you because of Xiaopei's danger?" ”

Liu Bei was very moved when he heard this, and said, "Then follow me to guard the south gate." ”

Yuyi nodded, and walked to the top of the south gate city wall with Liu Bei, explaining Lu Bu's strategy as he went, he saw Gao Shun leading the troops on the road, fortunately he avoided it, otherwise he would definitely be captured and taken hostage.

It didn't take long for Gao Shun's army to arrive, and Liu Bei shouted from the city wall: "I have a good relationship with Lu Bu, why do you want to bring troops here!" ”

Gao Shun replied: "You have formed an alliance with Cao Cao in private and want to frame our lord, but now that the matter has been revealed, I think you will go down to the city to be bound!" ”

Yuyi stood next to Liu Bei, and when he heard the other party humiliating his eldest brother like this, he was indignant in his heart, and shouted: "Your lord is a three-surnamed slave, my eldest brother is not allied with Cao Cao, is it not an alliance with a three-surnamed slave, that is not to risk the world's disapproval, you can quickly retreat, so as not to die on the spot!" ”

Gao Shun was very angry after hearing this, and did not answer, and led the army to start attacking the city, Liu Bei closed the door, and after attacking for a while, there was no effect, Gao Shun led the troops to temporarily retreat and camp.

On the second day, the troops led by Zhang Liao also arrived, preparing to attack Xiaopei's West Gate, Guan Yu saw this former acquaintance and shouted: "Your Excellency has a good appearance, why do you want to help a thief?" ”

Zhang Liao bowed his head and was silent, even if he was in response, he did not attack directly, but was just stalemate there.

It turned out that when they were in Xiaopei, Zhang Liao and Guan Yu made friends and often drank together, and both of them were very righteous, so some points of view were also compatible, so Guan Yu knew Zhang Liao as a person, and he was a loyal and righteous person.

So the two were silent, the scene was quiet, some soldiers were ready to scold, but they were also stopped by the two, and finally Zhang Liao just camped near the east gate and retreated.

Zhang Fei was about to come out to fight, someone told Guan Yu, he hurriedly went to the east gate to look, and found that Zhang Fei had already left the city, but Zhang Liao's camp had been withdrawn, it should be retreated, Zhang Fei was ready to chase, Guan Yu hurriedly summoned him into the city.

He couldn't help but listen to the words of the second brother, but he didn't understand it very much, and said: "He retreated because he was afraid of us, why didn't he chase him?" ”

Guan Yu said: "Don't underestimate Zhang Liao, I tried with him before, and found that his martial arts are not below you and me, because I used morality to influence him, so he had some regrets, so he took the initiative to retreat and didn't fight us!" ”

Zhang Fei was clear, so he ordered the soldiers to stick to the city gate and not go out to fight again.

Jian Yong went to Xudu to see Cao Cao and told him about Lu Bu's attack on Xiaopei, and Cao Cao hurriedly gathered all the strategists to discuss.

Originally, attacking Lu Bu was in the plan, but at this time, Lu Bu made his own move, giving him a better reason to send troops.
