Shan Fu smiled and said: "I heard that Liu Shijun was generous and kind, but I didn't believe it at first, so I tried it with words."
After hearing this, Liu Bei's stern expression faded and he thanked him: "My kindness is not as good as that of many people. I hope you can teach me."
Shan Fu said: "I came here from Yingshang. I heard that someone in Xinye spread a rumor that Xinye Mu is Uncle Liu. Since arriving here, the people have been abundant. This can be seen that Liu Shijun is kind and generous."
Liu Bei worshiped Shan Fu as a sergeant and hoped that he would help train his troops.
After Cao Cao returned to Xudu from Jizhou, on the one hand he paid attention to the situation in Lejin, and on the other hand he also looked at the developments in Jingzhou. He often wanted to capture Jingzhou, so he specially sent Cao Ren, Li Dian and some surrendered generals.
People such as Lu Kuang, Lu Xiang and others stationed in Fancheng with 30,000 surrendered troops, eyeing Jingzhou to see what was true.
When Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang saw Liu Bei's situation, they went to report to Cao Ren and said: "Now Liu Bei is stationed in Xinye, recruiting troops and horses, and accumulating grass and grain. I think his ambition is not small, so he has to plot something. The two of us
Since we surrendered to Prime Minister Cao, we have not made any achievements. I hope to send us five thousand elite soldiers. We will take Liu Bei's head and present it to the Prime Minister."
Cao Ren was very happy after hearing this, so he gave the two men five thousand soldiers and horses, and prepared to go to Xinye to fight.
A spy came to report to Liu Bei long ago, so he called Shan Fu to discuss, saying: "Since the enemy troops have attacked, we must not let them enter the territory. We can send Guan Yu to attack with a thousand troops and horses to meet Zhang Fei in the middle.
Lead troops and horses to attack from the right to meet the rear. The lord himself will lead Zhao Yun to attack from the front to meet the enemy. Then the enemy can be defeated."
Liu Bei followed this suggestion and sent Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to attack with troops and horses. Then, together with Shan Fu, Zhao Yun and other generals, they led 2,000 troops and horses out to meet the enemy.
After walking less than a few miles, I saw only dust flying behind the mountain. Lu Kuang and Lu Xiang came with their troops and horses, guarding the corners of the formation on both sides. Liu Bei rode out under the flag gate and shouted: "Who is coming? How dare you
Violating our borders?"
Lu Kuang came out to answer and said: "I am General Lu Kuang, and I have come to capture you on the orders of the Prime Minister!"
Liu Bei was furious and sent Zhao Yun to challenge. The two fought. In less than a round, Zhao Yun stabbed his horse to death. Liu Bei led his troops to cover up the attack. Lu Xiang couldn't resist at all, so he prepared to leave with his troops.
While walking, suddenly a group of men and horses came out next to them, headed by a general.
It was Guan Yu. After charging for a while, the soldiers and horses led by Lu Xiang were severely defeated. They could only seize the road and retreat some distance. Suddenly, another pair of men and horses came out and blocked his way. The general who led him was
It was Zhang Fei. He raised his eight-foot-long steel spear and shouted: "Your grandfather Zhang Fei is here again!"
Then Zhang Fei rushed into the rebel army. Lu Xiang was caught off guard and was stabbed in the center by Zhang Fei. He fell off his horse and died. The other people were running around to escape. Liu Bei gathered all his troops and horses and chased the remaining people. Many of them were captured alive.
, Liu Bei returned to Xinye with his troops, rewarded Shan Fu heavily, and rewarded the three armies.
After the defeated army returned, he told Cao Ren the news and said: "Er Lu was killed by the opponent, and the sergeants were all captured alive."
Cao Ren was very surprised after hearing this and discussed with Li Dian. Li Dian said: "The two of them were killed. Now we can only stand still and report the situation to the prime minister and send troops to conquer. This is the best policy."
Cao Ren said: "That's not the case. Now that the two generals are dead and many soldiers and horses have been lost, this hatred must be avenged. Moreover, Xinye is only a small place. Where does the prime minister need to lead a large army to conquer?"
Li Diandao: "The main reason is Liu Bei, the governor of Xinye. He is different from others. He is an outstanding person and cannot be underestimated."
Cao Ren said: "What do you have to be afraid of?"
Li Diandao: "There is a saying in the art of war that if you know your enemy and yourself, you will be victorious in every battle. I'm not afraid of them, I'm just afraid of not being able to defeat them."
Cao Ren was very angry after hearing this. He was obviously doubting himself and said angrily: "Are you having second thoughts? I will definitely bring Liu Bei's head back personally."
Li Dian said: "If General must go, then I will guard Fancheng."
Cao Ren said: "If you don't follow me, it will prove that you have second thoughts!"
Li Dian had no choice but to join Cao Ren and lead 25,000 troops across the river to fight in the direction of Xinye.
In Daoxiang Village, Yu Yi was reading "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when he suddenly heard a voice coming from the room. He quickly put the ancient book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" into his gift bag, and then pretended to lie down on the table to sleep.
After a while, the door of the room opened, and Diao Chan walked out. Seeing Yu Yi sleeping on the table, she looked very distressed and said, "Yu Yi, go in and sleep quickly. You will catch a cold if you sleep here."
After hearing this, Ms. Zou in the room quickly put on her clothes and walked out. The two of them woke up Yu Yi and took him into the room to rest.
After Yu Yi was woken up, he pretended to wipe his eyes and said: "I still have things to do, ladies, go and do your own thing."
So Diao Chan had breakfast prepared. After the three of them finished eating, Zou and Diao Chan went to train, while Yu Yi stayed in the room.
Just as Yuyi was thinking about his next plan, Ye Huatong knocked on the door and came in.
Yu Yi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, poured a cup of tea, and said, "What kind of wind brought Village Chief Ye D here?"
Ye Huatong smiled slightly and said, "I don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. How can newlywed Yu Yi be so happy?"
Yu Yi shook his head and said, "What's wrong?"
Ye Huatong took out two letters and said, "Someone has written to you."
Yu Yi seemed a little surprised. He took the letter and saw two new signatures. One was his eldest brother Liu Bei, and the other was his master Jia Xu.
Yu Yi carefully opened the letter and read it. The content of Liu Bei's letter was: The fourth brother has been away for a while, and I don't know if the trip to Yunnan will go well. I took my second brother and third brother to seek refuge with Liu Biao in Jingzhou, recognizing him as
Brother, Liu Biao is still very good to me.
, but Liu Biao's ex-wife died early, and his second wife, Cai, was young, and the Cai family had a high reputation in the army. When it came to establishing a heir apparent, he was obviously a little powerless. Recently, Cai Mao wanted to get rid of me, but luckily Luma saved my life.
The eldest son Liu Qi hopes to rely on me, but I am too powerful
I am weak alone and stationed in Xinye. The last time I had a drink with Liu Biao, I lamented that I had no foundation, otherwise I would not always be able to rely on others. I thought of my fourth brother who persuaded me to establish a base very early. Now I regret it very much.
Mr. Mirror also warned me,
I regretted not listening to the fourth brother's advice. Now that I think about it, the eldest brother regrets it. If the trip to Yunnan is not easy, the eldest brother still hopes that you can come back. Your second brother and third brother are also waiting for you. I believe that as long as we brothers work together,
The Han Dynasty will definitely prosper.
After Yuyi finished reading the letter, his complaints against Liu Bei were much lessened, and his eyes were blurred with tears.
