Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 524 Lu Bu takes action, Liu Bei asks for help

Zhang Fei sighed helplessly when his eldest brother nodded.

Ever since Guan Yu went to Wu County to serve as the county guard, the two brothers were in Langya and felt that there was not enough manpower.

Regarding Liu Bei's favor in front of Le Jin, Zhang Fei didn't say much.

When Liu Bei saw that Zhang Fei was silent, he sighed to himself: "Now, although we have many soldiers under our command, there are really too few generals who are good at fighting."

Zhang Fei couldn't help but frown when he heard this, and asked: "Brother, don't you have me?"

After saying this, Zhang Fei patted his chest with the palm of his left hand to show that he was very strong.

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei's appearance, he could only shake his head and continued to sigh: "I know that third brother you and your second brother are both invincible."

"It's just that right now, your second brother is far away in Wu County, and the situation in Xuzhou is quite complicated. I can't guarantee that you, third brother, will be by my side in every battle."

"What's more, if we two brothers lead an army to go on an expedition, there must be generals guarding the city in Langya City. Otherwise, if we go out to fight in the city and our hometown is taken away, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

Zhang Fei was thoughtful when he heard this.

Liu Bei continued to sigh: "However, I have to say that there are indeed many people under Cao Ang who are capable of conquering and fighting, such as the Xiahou brothers, the Cao family brothers, Yu Jinle, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun. Huang Zhong is a fierce general in this world!"

When Zhang Fei heard this, he said with disdain: "Brother, I think these few you mentioned are no match for me and my second brother, so you don't have to worry."

When Liu Bei heard this, he gently shook his head and said, "Third brother, don't underestimate these people, especially Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun, and Huang Zhong!"

"That Zhang Liao, when the imperial court was campaigning on the grassland, he led his troops alone to kill Wuhuan's Tadun, and he fought and won consecutively. He is a handsome man!"

"There are also Zhao Zilong and Huang Hansheng. When Cao Ang was conquering Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan, they were able to beat Yan Liangwen Chou to death, and finally killed them. I guess their martial arts are not inferior to you and your second brother. !”

When Zhang Fei heard what his eldest brother said, he didn't refute it, but he was unconvinced from the bottom of his heart.

In terms of martial arts alone, Zhang Fei only thought that he could not defeat Lu Bu and his second brother, and he did not take the others seriously.

……

Just as Le Jin was marching towards Yanzhou, Xu Huang also took action again.

He pretended to be a Taishan bandit and robbed the food and grass allocated by Tao Qian to Dongping City.

After Xu Huang robbed the food and grass, he did not hesitate to leave it around Mount Tai.

Later, Xu Huang led his troops to burn down several Taishan bandit camps before leaving.

After Xu Huang burned down the Taishan bandits' camp, he took his soldiers, dressed as ordinary people, and left Xuzhou in batches.

Finally, Xu Huang successfully reunited with Le Jin in Qiao County, Yanzhou, and the two returned to Luoyang together.

After Le Jin and Xu Huang left, Xuzhou became chaotic.

Tao Qian was furious when he learned that the food and grass he had allocated to Dongping had been stolen by Taishan bandits.

"This Zang Ba deserves to be damned. He robs so much food and grass every year, and I turn a blind eye. Now he's robbed me. Do you really think that I, Tao Gongzu, is easy to bully?"

After scolding Zang Ba, Tao Qian was ready to send troops to completely annihilate Zang Ba's Taishan bandits at any cost. At this time, Zang Ba was also furious after learning that several of his camps had been burned down.

"This Tao Qian, every time I take people down the mountain to plunder, I will intentionally or unintentionally avoid the food and grass in his hands, and only attack those wealthy families. I didn't expect that you, an old boy, would take the initiative to attack me. It's really good. !”

Zang Ba scolded Tao Qian, and then began to mobilize his troops: "Since you have attacked me, if I don't really rob you, you really think that I am easy to bully!"

……

In Langya City, after Liu Bei brought Zhang Fei back, he learned from the three lieutenants that Lu Bu had sent people to attack Langya City.

After Zhang Fei learned the news, he yelled angrily: "This servant with the third surname, no wonder he didn't escort the three envoys. It turned out that he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack on us!"

Liu Bei on the side frowned and said a little strangely: "But why did Lu Bu do this?"

"Who knows what that thief Lu Bu is thinking? His thoughts as a traitorous person who betrays his master and seeks glory are always different from others!" Zhang Fei cursed angrily.

At this moment, a deputy general ran in.

"Report, my lord, the third general, a scout came back with news that Lu Bu personally led the troops from Xiapi and headed straight for our Langya!"

After Liu Bei heard the news, he asked, "Do you know how many troops the other party brought?"

"Ten thousand trapped in the camp, and [-] ordinary soldiers!" the lieutenant replied hurriedly.

When Liu Bei heard this, he frowned tightly. He only had more than [-] men, and Langya City was not an easy-to-defend or difficult-to-attack city.

If Lu Bu were to attack the city, he would definitely not be able to defeat him.

Thinking of this, Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, you stay here to defend the city. I will go to Xuzhou to see Tao Qian. If Tao Qian does not take action in this battle, Langya will be in danger."

Although Zhang Fei has always looked down upon Lu Bu, he also knew that now was not the time to act impulsively.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely defend Langya City before you come back with reinforcements!"

Liu Bei nodded, and then left Langya with a hundred soldiers and went straight to Pengcheng, the capital of Xuzhou.

Along the way, Liu Bei ran non-stop, leading his soldiers to Pengcheng in a dusty journey.

When Tao Qian saw Liu Bei arriving at Pengcheng in such a mess, he asked with surprise, "Xuande, what's wrong with you? Why are you in such a mess?"

Hearing this, Liu Bei bowed his hands to Tao Qian and said, "Brother Gongzu, Lu Bu has betrayed his faith and is leading his troops to march towards Langya. I know that I am no match for Lu Bu on my own, so I came here to see Gong." Brother Zu, please ask for help!"

Hearing Liu Bei's words, Tao Qian couldn't help but look a little ugly: "Xuande, to be honest, I'm being messed up by those Taishan bandits right now!"

"Brother Gongzu, what happened?" Liu Bei asked with surprise on his face after hearing this.

Later, Tao Qian told Liu Bei everything about the Taishan bandits plundering the grain and grass he allocated.

When Liu Bei heard Tao Qian's words, his expression became serious.
