Yuyi said: "Second Brother Guan is right, now that Yuan Shu is the emperor, he will raise 200,000 troops to march in the direction of Xuzhou, preparing to pacify Xuzhou." ”

Liu Bei said: "Hurry up and sort out the soldiers and horses, and I will personally go to exterminate this traitor!" ”

Yu Yijin said: "Big brother don't panic, Lu Bu in Xuzhou is just a capricious villain, Yuan Shu attacked him, I think the two sides can fight and lose both, and then Yuan Shu is the emperor, Cao Cao will inevitably be furious, it is not the turn of my brother to go out in person, if my judgment is correct, Cao Cao will definitely let the eldest brother as a striker to eradicate Yuan Shu, a traitor." ”

Liu Bei nodded after listening to Yuyi's analysis, and his anger was much smaller, and said, "At that time, I must personally cut off Yuan Shu's head!" ”

The rain made a color, and everyone withdrew.

Knowing that Yuan Shuxing's seven-way army attacked Xuzhou, Lu Bu naturally announced that Xuzhou had entered an emergency state, and sent people to obtain the corresponding information, it turned out that Zhang Xun's army took Xuzhou from the big road, Qiaorui's army took Xiaopei, Chen Ji's army took Yidu, Lei Bo's army took Langya, Chen Lan's army took Jieshi, Han Xian's army took Pi, Yang Feng's army took Junshan, and the seven-way people and horses had to walk fifty miles every day, and it was rumored that the residents along the road were plundered and miserable.

Lu Bu hurriedly summoned the strategists in the city to discuss the countermeasures, Chen Gong and Chen Deng's father and son arrived, Chen Gong came out and suggested: "Xuzhou has become such a situation today, it is all caused by Chen Deng's father and son, in order to please the imperial court and obtain a reward, this scourge will be transferred to the general, and the heads of these two people can be cut off and dedicated to Yuan Shu, then his seven-way army will naturally retreat." ”

After hearing this, Lu Bu hurriedly sent someone to grab Chen Deng's father and son, and prepared to push them out and kill them.

Suddenly, there was a loud laugh, it was Chen Deng's voice, and he said, "Why are you so cowardly?" I look at Yuan Shu's seven-way soldiers, it's like a bunch of rotten weeds, what's there to mind! ”

Lu Bu ordered someone to let go of Chen Deng's father and son, and said, "If you have any way to retreat from the enemy, I can consider exempting you from the death penalty." ”

Chen Deng said: "If the general listens to my strategy, I can protect Xuzhou and there will be no problems." ”

Lu Bu nodded, meaning to let Chen Deng start to speak.

Chen Dengdao: "Although Yuan Shu is divided into seven armies, the number of more than 200,000, but they are all some rabble, and they don't trust each other, we will guard Xuzhou, surprise troops to sneak attack, there is no unsuccessful, I have an idea, not only to defend Xuzhou, but also to capture Yuan Shu." ”

When Lu Bu heard this, he was naturally whetted and hurriedly asked, "What kind of ploy is it?" ”

replied: "Han Xian and Yang Feng are both former ministers of the Han Dynasty, because they were afraid that Cao Cao would have no way out, so they went to Yuan Shu, Yuan Shu must have always despised them, and they were not happy under Yuan Shu's account, so they can use the form of letters to let him be our internal response, and then let Liu Bei be our foreign aid, then Yuan Shu will be easily captured." ”

Lu Budao: "This plan is feasible, but you have to go to Han Xian and Yang Feng to persuade them in person." ”

Chen Deng knew that Lu Bu would definitely take his relatives as hostages, so he agreed immediately.

So Lu Bu followed Chen Deng's plan, sent a table to Xu Du, and wrote a letter to send someone to Liu Bei in Yuzhou, and finally asked Chen Deng to take a few cavalry to Xiapi Road first to wait for Han Xian.

Han Xian's troops soon arrived at that place and set up camp, and when they heard the report that Chen Deng had come to visit, out of courtesy, he still let him in, and asked: "You are now Lu Bu's adviser, what are you doing here with me?" ”

Chen Deng laughed and said: "How can I be Lu Bu's person, I am the authentic Han Gongqing, and I have been rewarded by the Son of Heaven, on the other hand, you are a traitor's courtier, you have made great contributions in Guanzhong before, and you have rescued the driver many times, so because your behavior has come to naught, I think it is unwise for you to behave like this, General, and Yuan Shu is very suspicious, and the general will definitely not kill him in the future." If you don't start sooner, you'll definitely regret it later! ”

Han Xian was broken by Chen Deng's words, and sighed: "Actually, I really want to return to the Han Dynasty, but there is a door for me to enter?" ”

So Chen Deng took out the document of Lu Bu's return to the imperial court, showed it to the other party, and after reading it, he said: "I already know this matter, you go back first, and when the time comes, I will agree with General Yang, as your internal response, as long as you see a fire, we will use it as a code, and General Lu Bu can send troops out to respond." ”

Chen Deng bowed, thanked him, and then left, returning to Xuzhou and immediately told Lu Bu the news.

So Lu Bu divided his existing men and horses into five routes, and Gao Shun led an army into Xiaopei to resist Qiaorui; Chen Gong led an army into Yidu to resist Chen Ji; Zhang Liao and Zang Ba led an army out of Langya to resist Lei Bo; Song Xian and Wei continued to lead an army out of Jieshi to resist Chen Lan; Lü Bu himself led an army out of the avenue to resist Zhang Xun, with about 10,000 people in each team, and the rest stayed to defend the city.

After Lu Bu left the city, he began to set up camp thirty miles, and after Zhang Xun's troops arrived, he thought that he could not defeat Lu Bu, so he retreated twenty miles to garrison troops, and when the others arrived, they came to seek a solution.

At the time of the second watch, Han Xian and Yang Feng divided their troops to set fire everywhere, preparing to receive Lu Bu's troops into the camp, Zhang Xun's troops were in chaos, Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to cover up and kill, Zhang Xun had to retreat, Lu Bu chased until the next day, just met the enemy Ji Ling to respond, and Ji Ling's troops started a battle, halfway through the battle, Han Xian and Yang Feng's two roads of men and horses were killed, Ji Ling was defeated and left, so Lu Bu continued to chase and kill with soldiers and horses, and suddenly a team of people and horses appeared behind the mountain, this team of people and horses was very special, with the dragon and phoenix sun and moon flags, Under the golden umbrella cover of Huang Luopin, there is a person wearing gold armor and two knives hanging from his wrist, it is Yuan Shu, after seeing Lu Bu, he scolded: "Lu Bu, you are a dog slave who turns his back on his master!" ”

Lu Bu was very angry after hearing this, and immediately rushed to the direction of the other party, Yuan Shu's military general Li Feng came to meet with a gun, and after not three rounds, he was assassinated by Lu Bu, so he had to abandon his weapon and fled, Lu Bu immediately ordered to rush and kill, Yuan Shu's army was in chaos, and retreated in a hurry, Lu Bu hurriedly chased after him with soldiers and horses, and robbed many horses and armor.

Yuan Shu originally thought that he would definitely boost everyone's morale, thinking that his army was invincible, but he didn't expect to suffer a big loss as soon as he appeared, and he regretted it in his heart, and he was retreating with the defeated army again and again, and walked only a few miles, when suddenly a team of men and horses were killed behind the mountain, blocking the way, and the first person was Guan Yu, shouting: "Anti-thief!" Don't get off your horse and die! ”

Where did Yuan Shu dare to stay, and hurriedly fled with everyone around, Guan Yu did not chase to death, but just killed for a while, which further weakened Yuan Shu's strength.
