Guan Yu also advised: "Since Tao Qian is so humble, it's better to just agree."
Zhang Fei also advised: "This is not because you want to force this place, but because the other party must be humble. Why do you want to refuse like this?"
"Hey, you are taking me injustice!"
Liu Bei sighed, but he didn't let go. Tao Qian gave in repeatedly, but he just refused to accept it. Yu Yi had never seen such a stubborn person.
Tao Qian had to give in and said, "If you refuse to follow, then forget it. There is a small town near Xuzhou called Xiaopei. You can station some troops, so you can stay here to garrison to protect the security of Xuzhou.
How about it?"
Tao Qian's words revealed his true intentions. Yu Yi cursed in his heart. It turned out that Tao Qian did not want to give in to Xuzhou from the bottom of his heart, but because he experienced Cao Cao's incident, he felt scared and wanted Liu Bei to be a bodyguard.
Keep Xuzhou safe.
Everyone started a new round of advice. Yu Yi was about to suggest that Liu Bei leave Xuzhou and return to Pingyuan County, but Liu Bei actually agreed. This made Yu Yi not understand. If it was unrighteous to accept Xuzhou, then accept it.
What is Xiao Pei? It's really ironic.
After Tao Qian rewarded the army, Zhao Yun also began to say goodbye. Liu Bei pulled Zhao Yun away for a long time, and finally started crying.
Yu Yi was very embarrassed at the scene and said, "Zhao Yun, don't leave, otherwise my elder brother would be even more sad than losing his wife."
Zhao Yun smiled, but said goodbye, and replied, "Yuyi, if you have the chance in the future, you come to Gongsun Zan and I will take you to some places to play."
"Haha, one word is certain!"
Yu Yi waved his hand.
Kong Rong and Tian Kai both completed their respective tasks and returned with their troops. Liu Bei brought his own troops to Xiaopei to repair the city wall and appease the local people.
After the settlement was completed, the four brothers started chatting. Yuyi asked: "Now we have settled in Xiaopei, what should we do if our base plain?"
Liu Bei smiled and said, "I guess I haven't been to the plains. There is material poverty, drought all year round, no harvest, and no meaning of garrison."
Zhang Fei said: "Brother is older than us. Fourth brother, you have a lot to learn, so please follow us with peace of mind."
Yuyi shook her head and walked into her room.
Guan Yu said: "Maybe the fourth brother has not fully integrated into our life, so it is good to let him be quiet."
Yu Yi had disagreements with Liu Bei because of his development direction. Now he has some opinions on the Xuzhou incident. He believes that Liu Bei attaches great importance to loyalty too much, and this will lead to a great harm.
Cao Cao led his troops back from Xuzhou, Cao Ren came to greet him, explaining the situation that Lu Bu was very powerful, and Chen Gong gave him advice. Yanzhou and Puyang had been abandoned, Juancheng, Dong'a, and Fan County three places because of Xun Yu,
Cheng Yu and the other two joined together and used some tricks to save the situation.
Cao Cao sighed: "This public platform is a big deal. If he hadn't instigated Lu Bu to attack me, I wouldn't have to withdraw my troops. It's really hateful, but I also know that Lu Bu is brave but not wise, and it's not worth worrying."
So we first set up camps, settled soldiers, rested, and prepared to discuss strategic deployments in the next step.
Lu Bu knew that Cao Cao was back and passed Teng County, so he recruited two deputy generals, Xue Lan and Li Feng, and said: "You two are very good. I have long wanted to use you. You can bring ten thousand.
The troops should be defended by Yanzhou. I will take some people to destroy Cao's camp."
The two agreed. After Chen Gong found out, he quickly stopped him and said, "The general abandoned Yanzhou, what are you going to do?"
Lu Bu replied: "I want to station troops in Puyang to form a tripod."
Chen Gong said: "No, Xue Lan can't defend Yanzhou. This time, there are 180 miles to the south. There is a natural danger of Mount Tai. You can ambush 10,000 people there. Cao Cao heard that Yanzhou is gone, so he will definitely
Speed up the march, and after they are halfway through, they will ambush them, and then they can capture Cao Cao alive."
Lu Bu said: "I stationed troops in Puyang, so I naturally have my intentions. How could you know?" So instead of adopting Chen Gong's words, Xue Lan wanted to defend Yanzhou.
When Cao Cao's troops marched into the dangerous road of Mount Tai, Guo Jia saw it and quickly dissuaded him, saying, "You can't walk forward any more. This is a good place to ambush. There must be their ambush."
Cao Cao laughed and said, "You don't know Lu Bu. He is a foolish guy. If Xue Lan guards Yanzhou and goes to Puyang by himself, how could he set up an ambush here? Let Cao Ren order his army to besiege Yanzhou, and I will go directly to Puyang and quickly
Attack Lu Bu.”
When Chen Gong heard that Cao Cao's troops were very close, he offered a suggestion: "Now Cao Cao is coming from afar, with people and horses scarce. He must want to fight quickly. We can drag him, so we can't let him go."
When Lu Bu heard this, he was displeased and said, "I rode my Red Rabbit Horse and ran all over the world. Where can I have an opponent? How can I be a turtle with a head-reducing turtle? Besides, I don't take a little Cao Cao seriously yet, wait
After he got to the camp, I went to capture him myself."
Cao Cao's troops approached Puyang and set up tents not far away. The next day, he led everyone to attack. Cao Cao rode his horse under the door flag. He saw Lu Bu arrive far away. At the center of the formation, Lu Bu took the lead in taking off his horse, both sides
Eight generals were ranked, namely Zhang, Liao and Wenyuan; Huayin, Taishan, surnamed Zang, surnamed Ba and Xuangao; the others were Hao Meng, Cao Xing and Cheng Lian.
Wei Xu, Song Xian, Hou Cheng and Lu Bu personally led an army of 50,000, and the drums shook the sky.
Cao Cao pointed at Lu Bu and said, "I have no grudges with you, why did you conquer my prefectures and counties for no reason?"
Lu Bu said: "It's all the cities of the Han Dynasty, and everyone has a share. How can you say it's your prefecture and county?" After that, Zang Ba asked him to fight.
Cao Cao's army was greeted by music from inside and out. The two horses intersected and fought for more than 30 rounds, without a distinction between victory and defeat. So Xiahou Dun came out to help the battle, and Zhang Liao also went out to fight with him on the Lu Bu formation.
Seeing that everyone was not satisfied with the fight, Lu Bu took the Fang Tian Hua Ji and attacked in person. They knew Lu Bu's reputation. Xiahou Dun and Le Jin left when they saw this. Lu Bu took the opportunity to rush, Cao Cao's army was defeated, and
After retreating for thirty or forty miles, Lu Bu took back his army.
At the first stop, Cao Cao failed. After returning, he quickly discussed the situation. Yu Jin suggested, saying, "I was watching the mountain today and saw a very small camp in the west of Puyang, with no people. We were defeated tonight.
Lu Bu will definitely not be prepared and can lead troops to attack this place. If he can successfully take it down, then Lu Bu will definitely be afraid. This is the best strategy.”
Cao Cao thought about it and felt that there was no problem, so he followed this suggestion and led six generals, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Mao Jie, Lu Qian, Yu Jin, and Dian Wei, to lead more than 20,000 troops and marched through the small road overnight.
