Chapter 45 Cao Cao cooks wine and discusses heroes. Nan Ye gives stars to receive Huang Zhong 3
Dong Cheng didn't know that Liu Bei wanted to take the opportunity to get out, but when he was tied up by Cao Cao and it was difficult to do anything, he accepted what Liu Bei wanted. The next day, he recommended Liu Bei to calm the chaos in front of Liu Xie and Cao Cao.
Liu Xiezheng hoped that Uncle Liu Bei would be in power and knew that Dong Cheng was loyal, so he accepted it. Cao Cao also felt that Liu Bei was a little useful in watering flowers and growing vegetables all day long. In addition, his strategic focus is now in Yuan Shao in the north, so he can't spare people to go to Xuzhou to calm the chaos. So Cao Cao agreed to Liu Xie's wishes. Liu Bei commanded 20,000 troops to calm the chaos, and Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were sent together. They obviously helped each other and secretly had the intention of surveillance.
Liu Bei did not object to Cao Cao's dispatch of generals. He only said that the chaotic army and thief soldiers in Xuzhou were stationed in the mountains and fields. Only when the local soldiers in Xuzhou were dispatched to go on an expedition can they be familiar with the path and get twice the result with half the effort. Cao Cao felt reasonable when he heard this, and because he sent two generals to casually no longer be on guard, he ordered the Xuzhou soldiers in the army to follow Liu Bei to calm the chaos.
Cao Cao did not expect that Liu Bei's previous headquarters were mainly Xuzhou soldiers. Later, Liu Bei followed Liu Xie to Xudu, and these horses were separated into the army by Cao Cao. Now Cao has ordered to gather Xuzhou soldiers, most of whom have served under Liu Bei.
Liu Bei returned to his apartment to clean up the military weapons and horses at night. While preparing, Guan Yu came in and said, "Brother, uncle has arrived."
"Please come in!" Liu Bei was happy to hear the words.
After a moment, as soon as the general entered, he only saw the man's cheeks, short beard, eyebrows like swords, eyes like stars, and walking without tilting tigers and tigers. At first glance, he was a military general. This person's surname is Chen, his name is Uncle Zhi, and he is from Runan. Liu Bei came to the same group when he was in Xuzhou, and Liu Bei saw that he was loyal and brave, so he used it as a general. After arriving at Xuchang, Liu Bei ordered him to hide in the army and secretly unify the people of Xuzhou headquarters.
After Chen entered the interior and saw the three of Liu Bei, he said, "Lord, the people and horses in Xuzhou have gathered together, all among the 20,000 soldiers, and they can leave at any time."
Liu Bei was even more overjoyed when he heard the words. First, he was happy that he had not lost his headquarters, and second, he was happy that he was loyal to himself and did not join Cao. So he hurriedly urged to leave.
When Dong Cheng learned that Liu Bei was about to leave, he drove him out of the ten-mile pavilion to see him off. He said to Liu Bei, "Xuande, take care of yourself and don't bear the emperor's heart."
Liu Bei arched his hand and said, "My uncle is patient in the court for the time being. After my success, I will repay your majesty with my life.
After the two separated, Guan and Zhang immediately asked, "Why is my brother in such a hurry to go on this expedition?"
Liu Bei said, "We are like birds in cages and fish in nets here. Today, the line is like a fish entering the sea, and the birds are green in the blue, and they are not bound by the cage net!" After saying that, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were urged to march quickly.
Xun You and Cheng Yu returned from outside to raise grain. They heard that Cao Cao sent Liu Bei to Xuzhou and hurriedly asked for a meeting, "Why did the lord order Liu Bei to supervise the army?"
Cao Cao said, "I just ordered him to go to Xuzhou to suppress the rebellion."
Cheng Yu said, "In the past, when Liu Bei was the pastor of Yuzhou, I asked the lord to kill him, but the lord didn't listen. Now his soldiers are like releasing dragons into the sea, and the tigers return to the mountains, and the future troubles are endless.
Xun You said, "Even if it's good if the lord doesn't kill Liu Bei to win people's hearts, he shouldn't let him go. One day, the enemy will be in trouble for a long time. Please observe it clearly.
Cao Cao did not have any doubts about using Liu Bei as the commander, so he ordered Xu Chu to lead 30,000 troops to chase Liu Bei back.
Liu Bei saw the smoke and dust suddenly rising behind him, so he said to Guan and Zhang Er: "This must be chased by Cao soldiers. You can go down to the village as soon as possible."
Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and Chen led the troops to stay in the camp, each holding military weapons and standing beside Liu Bei. Xu Chu's soldiers arrived and saw that the soldiers were in order, and he got off his horse to see Liu Bei's salute.
Liu Bei asked, "What's the business of General Xu doing here?"
Xu Chu said, "I am ordered by the Prime Minister to ask the emperor to go back and discuss something."
Liu Bei said, "I will be outside, and your order will not be accepted. Your Majesty and Cheng agree to send troops this time. If the general doesn't know anything to discuss, he can quickly go back to the Prime Minister.
Xu Chuzhong is loyal and brave, but he doesn't know that Cao Cao is on guard against Liu Bei, let alone Xun You and Cheng Yu. He thought that Cao Cao and Liu Bei had always been friends, and they drank and enjoyed plums together the day before yesterday. This time, he did not let himself lead the troops to fight. Since Liu Bei did not return, he replied to the prime minister. So he resigned from Liu Bei and led the army back.
When Liu Bei saw Xu Chu returning to the army, he hurriedly urged him to rise up again. Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu returned without success and asked the reason, and Xu Chu replied truthfully. Cheng Yu said, "Liu Bei refuses to return to the army, but he knows that his heart has changed."
Cao Cao hesitated and said, "I have Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao accompanied me, but Liu Bei may not dare to change. Guan and Zhang are all brave. Isn't it good if they can be used for me this time? After saying that, he stopped chasing Liu Bei.
Liu Beibing went to Xuzhou, and the general's car came out to welcome him. The people of Xuzhou heard that Liu Bei's soldiers also came out to welcome them. Liu Bei stopped his troops for a few days and then rose up to fight against the riot army. Those chaotic troops are all rabbles and have no generals. How can they be the opponents of Liu, Guan and Zhang? In less than a month, it was basically wiped out, and only some small bandits were not afraid of. Liu Bei ordered Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to go back to Xudu to see Cao Cao first, and left himself to suppress the remaining bandits.
Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao have not seen any abnormal movements along the way. Now that the bandits have been eliminated, Liu Bei said that he would sweep away the remaining bandits and returned to Xudu. The two didn't think much about it, so they led the headquarters back to Xuchang to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao was furious when he came back alone and wanted to kill them. Xun Yu advised: "The military power is in the hands of Liu Bei, and the two of them have no choice. Now the lord's strangeness is useless, and Liu Bei's rebellious intention has been shown, not as shown in the following picture.
The car got Cao's letter in Xuzhou and waited for Liu Bei to ambush people and horses in the urn city when he went out to suppress the bandits, hoping to wait for Liu Bei to come back and catch the turtle in the urn.
Liu Bei has been operating in Xuzhou for a long time. This time he came back to regain the land of Xuzhou. How can he not prevent the car? As soon as the car was arranged here, Liu Bei outside the city received detailed news.
As soon as he heard that the car was abnormal, Liu Bei knew that he could not disguise himself. Originally, he planned to install it for a while and go to the city to kill him after gaining the trust of the car. Unexpectedly, now that the car is one step ahead, it seems that Cao Cao has known his rebellious intention. So Liu Bei summoned Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Jian Yong, Sun Qian and Chen to five generals to discuss.
Sun Qian said, "This is very easy! All of us in the army are Cao Jun's banners and armor. Why don't you pretend to be a Cao soldier and come to Xuzhou tonight to help the car and wait for him to attack the city and kill him?
Liu's backup Sun Qian's plan ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to pretend to be Cao Cao's reinforcements. In the middle of the night, he came to the city to call the city. The defenders in the city asked who it was, but only said that they were happy to get rid of Liu Bei.
When the car learned that the reinforcements had arrived at the bottom of the city, he went to the city to see it. In the night, it was difficult to distinguish the faces of the generals in the city. Seeing that the other party entered the city late at night for fear of fraud, he said to the city, "It's getting late and invite General Le to enter the city tomorrow morning."
Guan Yu said in the city, "If you station troops under the city overnight and Liu Bei knows that you will miss the fighter plane, I'm afraid General Che can't afford to be offended, and you'd better open the city gate quickly."
