Zhang Fei said: "This matter is actually very simple, I promise you, from now on, I will never drink again, go to whip soldiers, and actively follow Beirao's advice in everything." ”

Mi Zhu smiled: "I'm afraid it's not a good mouth!" ”

Zhang Fei felt a little angry and said, "I have been married to my eldest brother Liu Bei for many years, and I have never said anything that doesn't count, how can you despise me!" ”

Liu Bei said: "Since you promise like this, I still don't feel at ease, and I ask Chen Deng to assist you, drink less wine in the morning and evening, and don't make a mistake because of drinking." ”

Chen Deng nodded, it was agreed, and after Liu Bei's order was completed, Jiu commanded 30,000 infantry troops and left Xuzhou to advance in the direction of Nanyang.

At this time, Yuyi returned to his residence, thinking about many details of his interactions, which made him know more and more about his sworn brother Liu Bei, especially the action of drawing the sword, which completely made him feel cold, thinking that Lu Bu had not yet asked about the whereabouts of Diao Chan, and he was not willing to leave, so he planned to observe secretly first to see what kind of movements Lu Bu had, and then decide on the next move.

In Nanyang City, Yuan Shu heard that Liu Bei not only made a statement to the imperial court that he wanted to encroach on his own territory, but also sent troops from Xuzhou, and felt very angry, and said: "Liu Bei is a merchant who prepares straw mats and sells them, and now he is in Xuzhou, on an equal footing with other princes, I am preparing to crusade against such a person, I didn't expect him to come against me first, it's really hateful!" ”

So he directly selected General Ji Ling, led 100,000 troops and horses of his headquarters, and went to kill in the direction of Xuzhou.

The two armies met in Xuyi, and Liu Bei knew that he had relatively few soldiers and horses, so he went to the village next to the mountains and rivers, ready to wait for work. Ji Ling is a native of Shandong, and the weapon he uses is a three-pointed knife, which weighs fifty pounds. led the men and horses of the headquarters to the front of the battle and scolded, "Liu Bei, you mountain and wild villager, where did you get the courage to encroach on our territory!" ”

Liu Bei replied: "I am an edict from my son, and I want to crusade against the princes who are not subservient. Thou hast come to resist now, and there is no forgiveness for thy sins. ”

Ji Ling was furious when he heard this, raised his weapon, clamped the horse's leg and attacked Liu Bei, and Guan Yu on the side shouted loudly: "Pifu Hugh wants to hurt my eldest brother!" ”

So he fought with Ji Ling, and fought more than 30 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat.

However, Guan Yu's martial arts are still above Ji Ling, and Ji Ling is obviously under pressure when he hits the back, he hurriedly shouted that he would rest first and then come to the big battle, Guan Yu didn't want to take advantage of the danger after hearing this, so he touched his beard and retreated.

However, Ji Ling was very cunning, and as soon as he returned, he immediately sent his lieutenant to the horse. Guan Yu heard the sound of the horse's hooves, thinking that Ji Ling had come to challenge, so he turned the horse's head and prepared to fight again, but found that the person who came was not Ji Ling, so he said: "You quickly call Ji Ling out, we didn't decide the winner just now, he must rest, I have to fight with him now!" ”

Xun Zheng laughed: "I am Ji Ling's deputy general, looking at an unknown general like you, how can you be worthy of our general to take action in person?" ”

Guan Yu was furious after hearing this, slapped the knife only to take the other party, and killed the opponent's head in just one round, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted for a while, Liu Bei took the opportunity to take the soldiers and horses to kill the generals, Ji Ling's troops were defeated, retreated at the mouth of the Yin River, and let Guan Yu challenge, but he didn't dare to come out, secretly he asked the soldiers to loot the other party's camp, but was defeated by the soldiers and horses of Xuzhou one by one, and the two teams of men and horses held against each other like this.

Zhang Fei waited until Liu Bei led the army to leave, and many things were handed over to Chen Deng to deal with, and he didn't care about internal affairs. However, when he was drinking, he also went to find Yuyi, but Yuyi didn't seem to be interested in Xuzhou's political affairs, and rarely agreed, Zhang Fei knew that Yuyi must be disheartened, and he couldn't bear to be a brother, so he sent Chen Deng to persuade him.

Chen Deng still admires Yuyi's strategy, but he really can't interfere too much in the affairs between Liu Bei's brothers, and it just so happened that Zhang Fei gave this order, so he had to go this way.

Yuyi's residence is in the center of Xuzhou, compared with Luoyang City and Chang'an City's residence, it is much shabby, and there are no maids, most of Yuyi's life in Xuzhou is to read books and practice martial arts, and occasionally contact his underground troops through symbols, and the rest of the time he is in his residence, closed doors, and some banquets are rarely attended.

Chen Deng knocked on the door after coming to the residence, Yuyi thought that Zhang Fei had come to persuade him, so he avoided it, and suddenly a voice sounded outside the door, saying: "I'm Chen Deng, I still want to ask for advice on some things." ”

Yu Yi thought about it, Chen Deng came to find him at this time, maybe he really had something important, so he went to open the door, bowed, counted as a courtesy, and said: "Listen to Liu Bei go out of the city to crusade against Yuan Shu, let my third brother Zhang Fei come to guard the city, and let you assist, I'm afraid it's going to be bothered." ”

Chen Deng smiled bitterly: "Nothing can escape Your Excellency's glasses." ”

Yu Yi poured two cups of tea on the table, made a gesture of inviting him to sit down, and said with a smile without hurrying: "Liu Bei went to crusade against Yuan Shu, among the brothers, only Guan Yu can discuss, so naturally he will send the third brother to guard, but the third brother drinks unambiguously, so there will always be someone to restrain him." ”

Chen Deng just smiled and didn't say anything.

Yuyi continued: "I don't know what you are doing when you come to me?" ”

Chen Deng said: "Actually, as an outsider, I really can't bear to see your brothers discord, so I want to come and persuade you. ”

Yu Yi picked up the cup, drank the tea in the cup, sighed, and said, "We don't have a discord, but Liu Bei refuses to follow my advice, I'm afraid there will be a big disaster." ”

Chen Deng said: "Actually, Liu Bei still wants to adopt your suggestion, otherwise he won't let you think every time." ”

Yuyi retorted: "In that case, why does he have to do the opposite every time I bring it up." ”

Chen Deng explained: "You also know that Xuande Gong attaches great importance to reputation and the imperial court, and if you repeatedly save his face in front of everyone, he will naturally be very angry. ”

After hearing this, Yuyi felt that it made sense, and said: "Actually, I also have a reason for this, thank you for your suggestions." ”

Chen Deng stood up, arched his hand, and said: "I can't mention it, this matter is also a mystery of the authorities, and the bystanders are clear." ”

"Okay, go slowly!"

Yuyi sent Chen Deng to the door.

After going back, he also reflected on the experience, Yuyi suddenly felt a lot relieved, the current critical moment in Xuzhou was not there, he felt that he should stand by Zhang Fei's side to assist at this time, so he was ready to go out to the mansion.

News came on the road, it was Zhang Fei who prepared a banquet and invited Cao Bao, and later because Cao Bao refused to drink, Zhang Fei whipped the other party despite the dissuasion, and the matter seemed to be very troublesome.

By the time Yuyi arrived at the scene, the banquet had dispersed, and the people who participated in the party were basically drunk.
