Sun Gan first went to see Tian Feng and told him the news of Cao Cao's army's attack on Xuzhou, hoping that he would say a few good things in front of Yuan Shao. After hearing this, Tian Feng immediately took Sun Gan to see Yuan Shao and handed over the letter. Sun Gan saw it Yuan Shao was dressed in disheveled clothes and had a haggard face. Tian Feng was a little confused and asked, "What's going on with lord? Is this what happened?"
Yuan Shao sighed to the sky and said, "I'm not long after my life!"
Tian Feng said: "What are you saying, lord?"
Yuan Shao said: "I have five sons, and only the youngest one meets my requirements. Just now, news came that I had scabies and my life was in danger. Why am I still in the mood to talk about other things?"
Tian Feng emphasized: "Now Cao Cao led 200,000 troops to attack Liu Bei in Xuzhou, and Xuchang is empty. We should use this opportunity to attack Cao Cao in the name of supporting the Han Dynasty. The emperor can protect the emperor and the subordinate can save the people of the world. It is really a rare opportunity. I hope Ming Gong makes a decision soon."
Yuan Shao said: "I also know this is a good opportunity, but I am in a bad mood. I have been in a daze for several days and are afraid that if I go out like this, some unlucky things will happen."
Tian Feng said: "Where is there any trance?"
Yuan Shao said: "Of the five sons, this son is born with a talent. If he has any problems, I don't want to live anymore." So he decided not to send troops and explained to Sun Gan: "You can go back and tell Liu Bei. , It shows my situation here. If I can’t stand it anymore, come to my place to join me, and I will definitely help him well."
The two walked out of Yuan Shao's camp, and Tian Feng slammed the ground with a stick and said, "I finally encountered such a good opportunity, but I lost it because of a baby's disease. The big thing was gone. It's really a pity!"
Sun Gan knew that Yuan Shao must be unwilling to send troops to rescue him, so he could only return to Xiaopei overnight and tell Liu Bei about this.
After hearing this, Liu Bei was shocked and said, "If so, what should we do?"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei smiled and said, "Brother has nothing to worry about. I see that Cao's army must be very tired from afar. Take advantage of his talent to set up a camp nearby. We will go to the robbery first to defeat Cao Cao."
Liu Bei said: "I originally thought you were a brave man. When I caught Liu Dai, I used a strategy. Now I offer this strategy to me, which is in line with the art of war." So I followed his opinion and divided the troops. Killing village.
After being praised by Liu Bei, Zhang Fei was very happy, but he also remembered Yu Yi. At that time, Yu Yi learned martial arts from himself and some military tactics and strategies from Yu Yi. If it were not for the influence of Yu Yi, how could he use these What about the strategy.
Cao Cao led his troops toward Xiaopei. On the road, he suddenly encountered a strong wind and a loud sound, blowing a flag in front of him.
Cao Cao immediately asked the soldiers to suspend rest and gathered all the strategists to divine good and bad luck.
Xun Yu asked, "Which direction did this strong wind blow? What color is the broken flag?"
Cao Cao replied: "The strong wind comes from the southeast direction, and the tooth flag blows off on the corner, and the flag is blue and red in color."
Xun Yu thought for a while and said, "If nothing else happened, then Liu Bei would definitely come to rob the village tonight."
Cao Cao nodded, and suddenly Mao Jie entered to pay a visit. He also heard of such news and formed an idea, and said, "Just just now, a strong wind blew the blue-red tooth flag, what does this mean?"
Cao Cao said: "What do you think?"
Mao Jie said: "I calculated it first. Someone should come to rob the village tonight. From the direction, it should be Liu Bei's person."
At this time, an immortal was standing in the sky of Cao's army. He looked ahead, smiled on his face, and then disappeared into the sky. The violent wind blows the flag and is obviously also calculated by his calculations. middle.
Cao Cao listened to Mao Jie's analysis and said, "This is God helping me, I should prepare." So he divided nine teams of people, leaving only one team to station in the camp, and the others were ambushing outside the camp.
At night, it was just dark, Liu Bei was on the left and Zhang Fei was on the right, and he divided into two teams and sent Sun Gan to stay at Xiaopei.
Zhang Fei saw someone in front of Cao Cao's camp and thought his plan had succeeded, so he led the light cavalry in front and raided into Cao Cao's camp. He only saw the scattered Cao army in the camp, not as many as he had imagined. The people were in doubt, and suddenly the fires surged into the sky, the drums shook the sky, and shouted together. A large number of people rushed into the camp from all directions. Zhang Fei knew that this was a trap, so he rushed out of the camp. Meeting Zhang Liao in the east, Xu Chu in the west, Yu Jin in the south, Li Dian in the north, Xu Huang in the south, Le Jin in the south, Xiahou Dun in the north, Xiahou Yuan in the north, and horses in the eight places came. Zhang Fei rushed left and right, blocked the front and the back Just as he was so angry that he sent his troops to surrender. It turned out that the troops in his hands were all sent by Cao Cao from Xu Du, and they were all old soldiers under Cao Cao. When he saw his teammates, the situation was critical. All surrendered.
Zhang Fei could only kill for a while, and retreated while killing. When he met Xu Huang, Le Jin arrived later, and fought with Le Jin for several more rounds, and finally broke through a bloody road and left. In the end, he only More than a dozen cavalrymen followed and were about to return to Xiaopei. They found that the road back had been cut off. They wanted to go to Xuzhou and Xia Pi, but were afraid that Cao Cao would have other ambushings. They thought there was no way out, so they simply hid in the direction of Mangdang Mountain. .
While Zhang Fei was attacking, Liu Bei also brought his troops to the village and arrived near the gate. Suddenly, a loud shouting sounded loudly. A army rushed out from behind and half of the troops were cut off. Xiahou Dun arrived again, Liu Bei broke through and left, and Xiahou Yuan was again After coming from behind, Liu Bei continued to run. When he had time to look back, he found that there were only thirty cavalry following him and wanted to join Xiaopei, but he saw that Xiaopei's city was in full swing. He knew that Cao Cao had sent troops to occupy Xiaopei. To head towards Xuzhou and Xia Pi, I saw Cao's army everywhere, and there was no possibility of advancing.
Liu Bei thought of no way out, thought of the words Sun Gan brought back, and thought: "Yuan Shao is not saying anything first. If you encounter difficulties, you can go to him. Now Xuzhou has lost it and the general situation is over. Why not find a place first. Settling down, let's find a way." So he walked towards Qingzhou and happened to meet Li Dian on the road. Liu Bei had to run hard in the north direction, and Li Dian broke up all the other followers.
Liu Bei knew that there were Cao's troops behind him, so he had to run as soon as possible, so he quickly rushed to travel 300 miles a day, and shouted at the city of Qingzhou.
The clerk asked for his name and came to report to the governor, who was Yuan Shao's eldest son Yuan Tan.
Yuan Tan respected Liu Bei and the reputation of Uncle Liu very much. When he heard that he was here, he quickly opened the door and greeted him in person, took him into the mansion, comforted him and asked about his situation.
