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 his horse, shouted loudly, and took the other party with a sword. Wang Zhong could not resist Guan Yu's sword at all.
Before going back, Guan Yu held a knife in his left hand and took the opportunity to grab Wang Zhong's armor with his right hand, dragged it up, and put it on his horse, but it was captured alive. Seeing this, the other Cao troops rushed back. Guan Yu would win the throne.
Wang Zhong took him back and went to Xuzhou to meet Liu Bei.
Liu Bei asked: "Who are you? What are you doing? Why do you lie to Prime Minister Cao!"
Wang Zhong said: "All this is what Prime Minister Cao means. I was just ordered to bluff. As a suspicious soldier, Prime Minister Cao did not come here."
Liu Bei nodded and asked someone to detain him temporarily. After he caught Liu Dai, he was here to decide what to do.
Guan Yu knew what Liu Bei meant and said, "I knew my elder brother wanted to reconcile with Cao Cao, so he captured him alive."
Liu Bei sighed: "Yes, our current strength is not Cao Cao's opponent. I am afraid that Zhang Fei has a bad temper and killed Wang Zhong, so I didn't let him go. Like these people, it would be useless to kill them. Stay there.
It can also be used for settlement negotiations.”
These words happened to be heard by Zhang Fei who was driven over, and he was a little dissatisfied and said, "The second brother caught Wang Zhong. I can't fall behind. Let me capture Liu Dai alive."
Liu Bei said: "Liu Dai was the governor of Yanzhou before. When he was attacking Dong Zhuo at Hulao Pass, he was also a prince. Now he is a front army, so you cannot underestimate the enemy."
Zhang Fei said: "What's there to say about such an unknown junior? I just need to capture him alive like my second brother."
Liu Bei was still worried and said, "I'm afraid that you will kill him, which will ruin my big deal."
Zhang Fei was a little excited after hearing this and said, "Then like this, if Liu Dai dies, I am willing to pay his life for him!"
In this way, Liu Bei sent three thousand troops to Zhang Fei and asked him to lead his troops there.
Soon the news that Wang Zhong was captured alive was spread, and Liu Dai couldn't hold on. Zhang Fei shouted and scolded in front of the camp every day. Liu Dai knew Zhang Fei's bravery. He could fight Lu Bu at Hulao Pass.
, I didn't dare to come out.
Zhang Fei stayed for several days and found that the shouting was ineffective, so he came up with a plan.
When it was the second evening to go to the village to rob the village, he drank alcohol in the tent during the day and beat a soldier, pushed the blame on the man, tied it up, and said, "Wait, I'll send troops tonight
When you are, you will cut off your head and worship my military flag."
After Zhang Fei pretended to be asleep, he immediately sent someone to secretly create some conditions to let the man escape. As soon as he left Zhang Fei's camp, he ran to the place to report the news that Zhang Fei was preparing to come 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 lying, so he opened the camp and ambushed the troops outside.
That night, Zhang Fei ambushed the troops, and thirty people in the middle set fire to the camp. Two soldiers surrounded each other directly from the side. After seeing the fire, they attacked each other.
At the third update, Zhang Fei took his elite soldiers and cut off the opponent's retreat first. Thirty cavalrymen in the middle quickly went to the camp to set fire.
Liu Dai thought the other party was trapped, so he quickly asked all the ambush to be released and prepared to annihilate the enemy in the camp. There were no two people from Zhang Fei outside, and they arrived together. Liu Dai's army quickly became a mess, and he did not
Knowing how many people Zhang Fei brought, they all collapsed. He led a remnant army himself, preparing to find a gap to escape.
However, his luck was not that good. Zhang Fei was at the gap. After the two met, they met on a narrow road. In just one round, they were captured by Zhang Fei and had no power to resist at all. The others saw that the coach was arrested and surrendered one after another. Zhang
Fly into the city to report the situation.
After Liu Bei knew about the process, he said to Guan Yu: "Zhang Fei wanted to be irritable and reckless, but he didn't expect that he would use tricks. I feel very pleased." After saying that, he took everyone out of the city to greet him in person. Zhang Fei was confident at this time.
He said: "Brother only knows that I am irritable and thinks that I always mislead things. Now let's see, what do you say?"
Liu Bei said: "Haha, if I didn't use words to motivate you, how could you use such a strategy?"
Zhang Fei smiled, after all, the steps still have to be laid for the elder brother.
Seeing that Liu Dai was tied up with his back, Liu Bei quickly dismounted and released the ties to the other party, saying, "My third brother is so offended, I hope you can forgive me." After that, he welcomed the other party into the city, released Wang Zhong, and treated him happily.
He explained: "It was because of Che Zhou that he wanted to harm me, so I had to protect myself. Chen Deng can prove it. Prime Minister Cao thought I had rebelled because of this incident, so he sent two generals.
Come to attack me, Liu Bei, I, was kind to the Prime Minister, and was thinking about how to repay me and how could I rebel? I also asked the two generals to tell me more good things after they arrived in Xudu, and that would be my luck." Liu Bei
He spoke very politely, which made it very useful for both of them.
Liu Dai and Wang Zhong bowed and said, "Thank you for your kindness to not kill me. Don't worry, we will speak for you from the Prime Minister. I will use the lives of our two families to protect you."
Liu Bei bowed and thanked him. He prepared the horses the next day and sent the two out of the city.
Liu Dai and Wang Zhong were not yet ten miles away. Suddenly, a drum sounded, and Zhang Fei blocked the way and said, "My brother is not right or wrong. Why did he catch the thief and let him go again? Isn't he treating us like this?
Are you playing with the monkey?" After saying that, he rushed towards the two of them, preparing to take their lives in an instant.
Suddenly, someone behind him shouted: "Don't be rude!" Zhang Fei turned around and saw that it was Guan Yu.
Guan Yu rushed over, stopped them, and said, "Since the eldest brother has let them go, why don't you obey the law?"
Zhang Fei was a little dissatisfied and said, "You let them go now, they will still come later."
Guan Yu said, "What's there to be afraid of? When he comes back, it's not too late for us to kill him."
Liu Dai and Wang Zhong hurriedly retreated and said, "Don't worry, even if the Prime Minister puts a knife on our neck, we will not come again. We also hope that the two generals will let us go."
Zhang Fei said: "You go back and tell Cao Pie. Even if he comes here in person, I will kill a piece of armor and not leave it behind! This time, you will put your head in my place!"
After hearing this, Liu Dai and Wang Zhong quickly escaped, 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 is open and is surrounded by enemies from both sides and cannot be occupied for a long time. It is better to divide some troops into Xiaopei to defend Xiaopei, and become a horn with Xuzhou to prevent Cao Cao's attack."
Liu Bei followed this suggestion and asked Guan Yu to guard Xia Pi, and the second wife of Gan and Mi also went to Xia Pi to live.
Mrs. Gan was married by Liu Bei when she was 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 were guarding Xuzhou. Liu Bei and Zhang Fei were in the group to station troops in Xiaopei.
