Chapter 108: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
Yu Yi knew that if he continued like this, he would not be able to please anything, and he would embarrass his eldest brother, so he held on to the wound and stumbled out of the door, but fortunately, Lu Bu's Fang Hua halberd was not pierced deeply, and Yu Yi's injury was not serious.
After going out, Yuyi deliberately walked back a lot, and then shouted, Zhang Fei quickly rushed over and said, "It's a big night, where did you go, why is the injury so serious?" ”
"I met an assassin who was agile and the light was too dim for me to see."
Yuyi explained.
"What kind of assassin, he actually went to Xuzhou to spread wild, if it falls into the hands of your third brother, you have to tear him apart."
Zhang Fei scolded.
"Alright, help me back!"
Yu Yi smiled, he could feel Zhang Fei's concern for him.
After Yuyi left, Lu Bu's mood began to fluctuate, and he couldn't sleep for a long time, especially when he thought that Diao Chan came to approach him because he wanted to complete Wang Yun's mission, and he didn't really like himself, so he felt very angry.
That day, because Li Xuan and Guo Yan's soldiers and horses invaded Chang'an, and Wang Yun was unwilling to leave, in a hurry, Lu Bu left Diao Chan and some maids, and went out of the city, Diao Chan was afraid of being insulted by the thief, so he soiled his face with soil, and then found a set of village women's clothes to change into, and found a place to live in seclusion, Lu Bu later sent Ran Chang'an City many times to inquire about the situation, but there has been no news, but there is another reason for this matter is Lu Bu's wife, he has always been very jealous of Diao Chan, and tried every means to exclude her, Therefore, after the generals who went to collect intelligence were bought, there was naturally no news.
After Yuyi returned to the room, he also began to think, and finally put forward the question that he had been holding in his heart for a long time, this time the temptation, it can be clear that Diao Chan is indeed alive, but where is she, and why she doesn't come to see herself still needs to figure out.
Another gain from touching Lu Bu this time was that he found an edict on the table, the pattern Yu Yi knew, it was the royal pattern, could it be that he also understood the content of the secret letter, and planned to strike first, but on the other hand, if he planned to rebel, there was absolutely no reason to keep himself alive, he must have some concerns, and he should not do it for the time being.
So Yuyi decided to go to bed first, and went to Liu Bei early the next morning to report Lu Bu's movements and increase his defense.
On the second day of his arrival, Yu Yi came to the door of the mansion and learned from the guards that Lu Bu had come over, and he was afraid that Liu Bei was in danger, so Yu Yi hurriedly ran in.
Still not finding anything abnormal, Liu Bei saw that Yu Yi was out of breath, and said, "My fourth brother is reckless, please forgive me." ”
Lu Bu nodded, which was considered understanding, but the moment he and Yu Yi's eyes crossed, it was full of meaning.
Yuyi saw Lu Bu take out an edict from his sleeve, which he saw in Lu Bu's bedroom yesterday, he handed it to Liu Bei, and said, "I heard that the imperial court asked you to lead Xuzhou Mu, and I came here to congratulate you." ”
Liu Bei thanked him and said, "I, the state pastor, are all humble brothers." ”
Suddenly, there was a voice outside the door, and it was Zhang Fei who came over with a sword, shouting to kill Lu Bu.
Yu Yi's eyes widened, thinking that the third brother knew that my injury was caused by Lu Bu, so he specially avenged me, so I am so grateful.
However, Zhang Fei's sword had not passed yet, and Liu Bei had already blocked in front of Lu Bu and stopped him.
Lu Bu was also taken aback and said, "Why did Yide come and kill me for no reason!" ”
In order to stop the responsibility for this matter on himself, Yuyi stood up and prepared to reveal the matter at hand, so that Liu Bei could recognize Lu Bu's wolf ambitions.
As a result, before he could take a step, Zhang Fei shouted: "Cao Cao wrote a letter to my brother, you are a treacherous person, let my brother kill you, he can't bear to do it, then the wicked can only be done by me." ”
Liu Bei withdrew Zhang Fei, and after seeing him walk out of the hall, he took Lu Bu to the back hall, told him the cause and effect of the incident, and also asked people to take Cao Cao's letter and show it to Lu Bu.
After Lu Bu saw it, he cried and said: "Cao Cao is too cunning, this is to make the two of us discordant, he takes advantage of it, I don't share it with him!" ”
Liu Bei smiled: "Brother, you don't have to worry, you should know your brother's personality very well, I won't do such an unkind and unjust thing if I die." ”
Lu Bu thanked him repeatedly, and Liu Bei left Lu Bu to drink, and went back very late.
This banquet was only Liu Bei, the other brothers did not come, and in the evening, after seeing Liu Bei come out, everyone asked: "Why didn't the eldest brother kill Lu Bu!" ”
Yuyi stood aside and said, "This is Cao Cao's plan, let Lu Bu and the eldest brother kill each other and profit from it, the eldest brother naturally doesn't want to be used in such vain." ”
Guan Yu nodded and said yes, Zhang Fei said: "I always feel that this slave with three surnames is really ill-intentioned, and it is a disaster to keep it, so it is better to kill it to prevent future troubles." ”
Liu Bei said: "This is really not what a big husband should do. ”
At this time, Yuyi's closed eyes opened, and said: "Back then, the third brother was going to kill Dong Zhuo, but he didn't succeed, and as a result, Dong Zhuo's dictatorship and murder were like hemp, and now the third brother is ready to kill Lu Bu, and the eldest brother stops it again, will it be a follow-up?" ”
Liu Bei was about to explain, but Yuyi just smiled and left the scene. Regarding this matter, he thinks that it must be right to kill Lu Bu, but only Lu Bu knows the whereabouts of Diao Chan, and if he is killed, then the clue will be broken, so Yuyi is also very conflicted.
On the second day of the neighborhood, it was time for the envoy of the son to go back to his life, Liu Bei expressed his gratitude again, and replied to Cao Cao's secret letter, which was full of euphemism, that is, to tell Cao Cao that Lu Bu's matter had been included in the plan, but now is not the time, I hope to slow down, and then do this later.
The envoy went back to see Cao Cao for the first time, understood the situation in Xuzhou, and handed the reply to Cao Cao, and after Liu Bei's attitude, he didn't seem to want to kill Lu Bu very much.
Cao Cao immediately thought of going to Xun Yu, and Xun Yu said: "This is also expected. ”
Cao Cao was a little worried, and said, "What should I do?" ”
Xun Yu smiled mysteriously and said, "I also have a plan, called the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf." ”
Cao Cao asked for specific details, Xun Yu explained: "You can secretly go to Yuan Shu's side to take a walk, and Liu Bei will secretly give a secret table to the imperial court, and he will capture Nanjun, after Yuan Shu hears it, he will definitely be angry, and he will attack Liu Bei first, and then the lord will edict Liu Bei to crusade against Yuan Shu, and the two sides will merge, Lu Bu will definitely have different intentions, this is the plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf." ”
