Guan Yu's sudden escape made Wang Zhong have an illusion, thinking that he was afraid of himself, so Wang Zhong turned the hillside and chased Guan Yu, Guan Yu suddenly returned to the horse, shouted, and took the other party with a knife, Wang Zhong couldn't stand Guan Yu's knife at all, and was ready to retreat to the back, Guan Yu took the knife in his left hand, and grabbed Wang Zhong's armor with his right hand, dragged it up, and put it on his horse, but he was captured alive, and the other Cao Jun saw this, and hurriedly ran to the back. Guan Yu escorted Wang Zhong back and went to Xuzhou to meet Liu Bei.

Liu Bei asked, "Who are you?" What does it do? Why lie about Prime Minister Cao! ”

Wang Zhong said: "All this is what Prime Minister Cao meant, I was just ordered to bluff, as a suspicious soldier, in fact, Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not come." ”

Liu Bei nodded, and asked him to be temporarily imprisoned, and waited until Liu Dai was caught later, and then decided what to do.

Guan Yu knew what Liu Bei meant, and said, "I knew that the eldest brother wanted to reconcile with Cao Cao, so I captured him alive." ”

Liu Bei sighed: "Yes, our current strength is not Cao Cao's opponent, I was afraid that Zhang Fei would be grumpy and kill Wang Zhong, so I didn't let him go, like these people, killing it has no effect, and staying can also be used for reconciliation negotiations." ”

These words happened to be heard by Zhang Fei, who rushed over, and he was a little unconvinced, and said: "Second brother caught Wang Zhong, I can't fall behind, let me go and capture Liu Daisheng." ”

Liu Bei said: "Liu Dai used to be the assassin of Yanzhou, and when he was crusading against Dong Zhuo at Tiger Pass, he was also a prince, and now he is a former army, you can't underestimate the enemy." ”

Zhang Fei said: "What is there to say about such an unknown junior." I'll just capture him alive like my second brother. ”

Liu Bei was still not at ease, and said: "I'm afraid that you will kill him, so that you will miss my big thing." ”

Zhang Fei was a little excited after hearing this, and said: "Then let's do it, if Liu Dai dies, I am willing to pay for his life!" ”

In this way, Liu Bei sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to Zhang Fei and asked him to lead the troops.

Soon the news that Wang Zhong was captured alive spread back, Liu Dai couldn't hold out, Zhang Fei scolded in front of the camp every day, Liu Dai knew Zhang Fei's bravery, he was on par with Lu Bu in the Tiger Prison Pass, and he didn't dare to come out.

Zhang Fei guarded for several days and found that the scolding had no effect, so he came up with a plan.

When he went to rob the village at the second watch in the evening, he drank and pretended to be drunk in the tent during the day, beat a sergeant, put the blame on the man, tied him up, and said: "Wait, when I go out at night, I will cut off your head and sacrifice my military flag." ”

After Zhang Fei pretended to be asleep, he immediately sent someone to secretly create some conditions for this person to escape, as soon as he came out of Zhang Fei's camp, he ran to the place to report the news that Zhang Fei was preparing to rob the village in the middle of the night, Liu Dai saw that the soldier was seriously injured, and felt that the other party was not like lying, so he emptied the camp and ambushed the troops outside.

That night, Zhang Fei ambushed the troops, and the middle 30 people set fire to the camp, and the two sergeants directly outflanked them from the side, and after seeing the fire, they attacked each other.

Ten points in the third watch, Zhang Fei himself took the elite soldiers, cut off the opponent's rear road first, and thirty cavalrymen in the middle quickly went to the camp to set fire.

Liu Dai thought that the other party was in a plan, and hurriedly let the ambush soldiers go out, preparing to annihilate the enemy in the camp, there was no Zhang Fei's two people outside, and they were killed together, Liu Dai's army was soon in chaos, and he didn't know how many people Zhang Fei had brought, and they were scattered, and he himself led a remnant army, ready to find a gap to escape.

However, his luck was not so good, the gap was Zhang Fei, after the two met, they met in a narrow way, and in just one round, they were captured by Zhang Feisheng, and they had no strength to resist at all. When the others saw that the boss was arrested, they surrendered one after another, and Zhang Fei entered the city to report the situation.

After Liu Bei knew the process of the matter, he said to Guan Yu: "Zhang Fei wanted to be irritable and reckless, but I didn't expect him to use tricks, I feel very relieved." After speaking, he took everyone out of the city to greet him in person, Zhang Fei had confidence at this time, and said: "Big brother only knows that I am irritable and thinks that I am always wrong, now look at it, what do you say?" ”

Liu Bei said: "Haha, if I don't use words to provoke you, how can you use such a strategy?" ”

Zhang Fei smiled, after all, the steps still have to be given to the eldest brother.

Liu Bei saw that Liu Dai was tied up, so he hurriedly dismounted and untied the other party, and said, "My third brother has offended a lot, I hope you can forgive me." After speaking, he welcomed the other party into the city, and released Wang Zhong as well, so that he was entertained.

He explained: "Previously, because of Che Guan, he wanted to harm me, so I had to protect myself, this Chen Deng can testify, Prime Minister Cao thought I rebelled because of this incident, so he sent two generals to crusade against me, I Liu Bei received the favor of the prime minister, and I was thinking about how to repay, how could I rebel?" I also asked the two generals to help me say more good things after they arrived in Xudu, that would be my luck. Liu Bei spoke very politely, which made the two of them very useful.

Liu Dai and Wang Zhong arched their hands and said, "Thank you Uncle Liu Huang for not killing, don't worry, we will speak for you on the prime minister's side, and I will use the lives of our two families to save you." ”

Liu Bei bowed, as a thanks, and on the second day, he prepared the horses and sent the two out of the city.

Liu Dai and Wang Zhong left the distance of less than ten miles, and suddenly a drum sounded, and it was Zhang Fei who blocked the way, and said: "My brother also doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, how can he release the thief after catching it, isn't this playing us like monkeys?" After saying that, he galloped in the direction of the two of them, preparing to take the lives of the two in an instant.

Suddenly, a person behind him shouted: "Don't be rude! Zhang Fei looked back and saw that it was Guan Yu.

Guan Yu rushed over, stopped in front of the two, and said, "Since the eldest brother has already released them, why don't you follow the decree?" ”

Zhang Fei was a little unconvinced, and said, "If you let them go now, they will still come later." ”

Guan Yu said: "What's there to be afraid of, when he comes again, it's not too late for us to kill him." ”

Liu Dai and Wang Zhong hurriedly retreated: "Don't worry, even if the prime minister uses a knife on our necks, we will not come again, and I hope the two generals will let us go." ”

Zhang Fei said: "You go back and tell Cao Thief that even if he comes in person, I will kill a piece of armor and leave no armor!" This time, I'll leave your heads with me! ”

Liu Dai and Wang Zhong fled quickly after hearing this, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came back to explain the situation.

Liu Bei said: "After they leave, I think Cao Cao will come to Xuzhou again." ”

Sun Qian suggested: "Xuzhou has an open terrain and is under the enemy's back, so it is better to divide some troops to camp in Xiaopei, defend Xiaopei, and Xuzhou become a horn to prevent Cao Cao's attack." ”

Liu Bei listened to this suggestion and asked Guan Yu to guard Xiapi, and the two ladies Gan and Mi also went to live in Xiapi.

Mrs. Gan was married by Liu Bei when he was in Xiaopei, and she was also a native of Xiaopei, Mrs. Mi was Mi Zhu's sister, Sun Qian, Jian Yong, Mi Zhu, and Mi Fang guarded Xuzhou, and Liu Bei himself and Zhang Fei were in a group to garrison Xiaopei.
