Zhang Fei saw his eldest brother nodding and sighed helplessly.

Since Guan Yu went to Wu County to be the county guard, the two brothers were in Langya, and they felt that there was not enough manpower.

Regarding Liu Bei's good impression in front of Le Jin, Zhang Fei didn't say much.

Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei didn't speak, so he sighed to himself: "Now, although we have many soldiers under our command, there are too few generals who can recruit good soldiers. ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and asked rhetorically: "Big brother, don't you have me!" ”

After saying this, Zhang Fei slapped his chest with the palm of his left hand, indicating that he was very strong.

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei's appearance, he could only shake his head and continue to sigh: "I know that the third brother, you and your second brother, both have the courage to be invincible. ”

"It's just that at this moment, the second brother is far away in Wu County, and the situation in Xuzhou is quite complicated, I can't guarantee that every time I fight, the third brother, you will be by my side."

"What's more, if the two of us brothers lead the troops to the battle, then there must be a general defending the city in Langya City, otherwise we will go out of the city to fight, but our hometown will be ended, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he was also thoughtful.

And Liu Bei continued to sigh: "However, I have to say that there are indeed many people under Cao Ang's command who can fight well, such as the Xiahou brothers, the Cao family brothers, as well as Yu Banle Jin Xu Huang, Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong, all of whom are fierce generals in the world!" ”

When Zhang Fei heard this, he said with disdain: "Big brother, I don't think they should be the opponents of me and my second brother, so you don't have to worry." ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he shook his head lightly and said, "Third brother, don't despise these people, especially Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong!" ”

"That Zhang Liao, when he was fighting in the grassland in the imperial court, he led the troops to fight alone, killed Wu Huan's Badun, and fought even victories, he was a handsome talent!"

"There are also Zhao Zilong and Huang Hansheng, when Cao Ang was conquest of Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, they were able to beat Yan Liangwen and the ugly head of the rat, and finally kill the two of them, presumably their martial arts are not under you and your second brother!"

When Zhang Fei heard his eldest brother say this, he didn't refute it again, but he was not convinced from the bottom of his heart.

In terms of martial arts alone, Zhang Fei only thought that he couldn't beat Lu Bu and his second brother, and he didn't pay attention to the others.

……

Just as Le Jin was marching towards Yanzhou, Xu Huang also acted again.

He pretended to be a Taishan bandit and robbed Tao Qian of the grain and grass allocated to Dongping City.

After Xu Huang robbed the grain and grass, he did not greed for ink, and directly left it around Mount Tai.

Subsequently, Xu Huang led his troops to burn down several camps of Taishan bandits, and then left.

After Xu Huang burned down the camp of the Taishan bandits, he took the soldiers, dressed as ordinary people, and left Xuzhou in batches.

In the end, Xu Huang successfully joined Lejin in Yanzhou's Qian County, and the two returned to Luoyang together.

After Le Jin and Xu Huang left, Xuzhou was in chaos.

After Tao Qian learned that the grain and grass he had allocated to Dongping was robbed by the Taishan bandits, he was also so angry.

"This Zang Ba, it's really damned, I rob so much grain and grass every year, I turn a blind eye, and now it has robbed me, do you really think that I Tao Gongzu is easy to bully?"

After scolding Zang Ba, Tao Qian prepared to send troops to completely exterminate Zang Ba's Taishan bandits at any cost.

At this time, Zang Ba, after learning that his camp had been burned down several times, was also furious.

"This Tao Qian, every time Lao Tzu takes someone down the mountain to rob, he will intentionally or unintentionally avoid the grain and grass in his hands, and only attack those wealthy families, I didn't expect that you old boy would take the initiative to take action against Lao Tzu, it's really good!"

Zang Ba scolded Tao Qian, and began to dispatch troops: "Since you did it to Lao Tzu, then Lao Tzu didn't really rob you, you really thought that Lao Tzu was easy to bully!" ”

……

In Langya City, after Liu Bei came back with Zhang Fei, he also learned from the three deputy generals that Lu Bu had sent people to attack Langya City.

After Zhang Fei learned the news, he scolded angrily: "This three-surnamed house slave, no wonder he didn't escort the three messengers, it turned out that he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack us!" ”

Liu Bei on the side frowned, and said a little strangely: "But why did Lu Bu do this? ”

"Who knows what that thief Lu Bu is thinking, his thoughts of a traitor who betrays his lord and seeks glory and treachery are always different from others!" Zhang Fei scolded angrily.

At this moment, an adjutant general ran in.

"Report, lord, three generals, there is news from a scout, saying that Na Lu Bu personally led the troops, set off from Xiapi, and went straight to our Langya!"

After Liu Bei heard the news, he asked, "Do you know how many people the other party has brought?" ”

"10,000 trapped camps, and 30,000 ordinary soldiers!" The lieutenant replied hurriedly.

When Liu Bei heard this, his brows furrowed tightly, there were only more than 10,000 people under his command, and this Langya City was not an easy city to defend and difficult to attack.

If Lu Bubing came to the city, then he would definitely not be able to defeat the other party.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, you are here to defend the city, I will go to Xuzhou and see Tao Qian, this battle, if Tao Qian does not make a move, then Langya will be in danger." ”

Although Zhang Fei has always looked down on Lu Bu, he also knows that now is not the time to be rash.

"Big brother, don't worry, before you come back with reinforcements, I will definitely defend Langya City!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then left Langya with a hundred personal soldiers and went straight to Pengcheng, the state capital of Xuzhou.

Along the way, Liu Bei kept going, ran wildly with his own soldiers, and came to Pengcheng in the dust.

Tao Qian saw Liu Bei coming to Pengcheng so embarrassed, so he asked with a surprised face: "Xuande, what's wrong with you, why are you so embarrassed?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he arched his hand at Tao Qian and said: "Brother Gongzu, that Lu Bu is treacherous, and now he is leading his troops to march towards Langya, I know that I am not the opponent of Lu Bu with my own strength, so I specially came to ask Brother Gongzu for help!" ”

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Tao Qian's face couldn't help but become a little ugly: "Xuande, I can't hide it, I'm being stirred up by the Taishan bandits at this moment!" ”

"Brother Gongzu, what's going on?" When Liu Bei heard this, he asked with a surprised face.

Subsequently, Tao Qian told Liu Bei all the grain and grass that Taishan bandits had plundered him.

When Liu Bei heard Tao Qian's words, his face became solemn.
