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

Liu Bei looked at Zang Ba and asked: "General Zang Ba, since you have not formed an alliance with Lu Bu, why do you want to send troops with us?"

"Huh? What does the emperor mean by this?" Zang Ba asked in confusion.

Zang Ba had heard of Lu Bu's reputation.

If possible, he would never want to have anything to do with the other party in his life, for fear of tarnishing his reputation.

When Liu Bei saw that Zang Ba was puzzled, he told Zang Ba the news that Lu Bu had sent troops to attack him.

After Zang Ba heard the news about Lu Bu, his face was full of surprise.

Later, Zang Ba explained to Liu Bei: "Uncle Liu Huang, I did not form an alliance with Lu Bu, but he sent troops at the same time as me, so the two of us seemed to be in an alliance."

When Liu Bei heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then he responded: "In that case, General Zang Ba, can you make peace with Brother Gongzu first?"

"Bei Bucai, I feel that there is something fishy about this matter. After all, Brother Gongzu has never taken action against you, General. There is someone else who wants to take action against you!"

When Zang Ba heard this, he thought that there were not many forces in Xuzhou in total.

It was not Tao Qian who burned down the camp, and it certainly wasn't Liu Bei's fault.

Finally, Lu Bu is the only one left!

Thinking of this, Zang Ba said viciously: "It must have been done by Lu Bu's guy. He pretended to be a subordinate of Governor Tao Qian, burned down my camp, and provoked a dispute between us."

"Then he can take the opportunity to attack you, Uncle Liu Huang. If he really takes over Langya City, then I'm afraid his family will be the only one in Xuzhou!"

Liu Bei also felt that what Zang Ba said was reasonable, and the two hit it off immediately and decided to call it quits and make peace.

"General Zang Ba, after you and I have reconciled, once Lu Bu is pacified, I will definitely mediate between you and Brother Gongzu, please don't worry."

Although Zang Ba said that he was located at the junction of the three states, in fact, Qingzhou and Yanzhou were both under Cao Ang's control. He did not dare to go there and could only make a living in Xuzhou.

Because of this, he didn't want to get into too much of a quarrel with Tao Qian, as this would be of no benefit to them.

Zang Ba raised his hands to Liu Bei and said, "Then I'll thank Uncle Liu Huang first while I'm here."

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Liu Bei planned to leave.

Originally, Zang Ba wanted to keep Liu Bei here and let him stay here for a few more days so that the two of them could have a good relationship.

It's a pity that the war was so advanced that Liu Bei couldn't stay for long, so he left in a hurry after finishing his work.

At the gate of the camp, Zang Ba looked at Liu Bei's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Liu Huang is really a benevolent and loyal man."

……

After Liu Bei left the Taishan area, he visited Pengcheng without stopping and met Tao Qian.

After Tao Qian learned that Liu Bei had convinced Zang Ba, he was also happy: "Okay, okay, good brother Xuande, we don't have Zang Ba to worry about, so we can concentrate on dealing with Lu Bu."

When Liu Bei saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he and Tao Qian worked together, they would definitely beat Lu Bu and make him run away with his head in his arms.

Afterwards, Tao Qian told Liu Bei all the plans he had discussed with Chen Deng.

After Liu Bei heard this, he felt that this plan was feasible and hurriedly said to Tao Qian: "Brother Gongzu, Yuanlong's plan is feasible. Then my foolish brother will go back to Langya first to contain Lu Bu and buy time for General Cao Bao." "Okay, then. Thank you, my dear brother." Tao Qian bowed his hand to Liu Bei and sent him away.

……

In Langya City, Zhang Fei was listening to the report from the scouts.

"Third General, Lu Bu's army is only about eighty miles away from Langya City. They will be approaching the city tomorrow and may start to attack the city."

After hearing what the scout said, Zhang Fei couldn't help but snorted coldly: "This servant with the third surname is really hateful. He doesn't wait for me to go to Pi City, but he insists on causing trouble for my brother!"

"This time, I will stab this guy to death with a spear! In order to avenge him for repeatedly humiliating my elder brother!"

When the deputy general on the side heard Zhang Fei's words, he didn't recognize it and persuaded him: "Third general, when my lord goes out, he gave you many instructions. Tell the general that you should not go out of the city to meet the enemy, and just defend with all your strength!"

Zhang Fei waved his hand when he heard this and said with an annoyed look on his face: "Lü Bu's troops are several times stronger than ours, not to mention that Langya City is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If we don't take the initiative to attack, we will have no choice but to sit back and wait for death!"

Several lieutenants on the side wanted to say something, but Zhang Fei waved his hands with an irritated face and said: "There is no need to persuade me anymore. If you try to persuade me again, don't blame me for being violent!"

When several lieutenants thought of Zhang Fei's whip, a chill ran down their backs, and none of them dared to speak.

On the second day, after Lu Bu camped thirty miles outside Langya City, he personally took Gao Shun, ten thousand trapped troops and ten thousand ordinary soldiers to call for formation at Langya City, while the remaining soldiers were left behind in the camp. Stay within.

Lu Bu carried Fang Tian's painted halberd and rode a sweaty horse to the foot of Langya City. He shouted loudly: "Hey, big-eared thief, quickly open the city and surrender. I will spare your life!"

When Zhang Fei on the city wall heard Lu Bu's scolding, he shouted back: "Slave with the third surname, don't say such arrogant words. I'll wait until your grandfather Zhang Fei goes down and stabs you to death!"

After cursing these words, Zhang Fei ignored the obstruction of the lieutenants and went directly to the city wall. He ordered three thousand troops and went out to fight with Lu Bu.

Zhang Fei's mount is a snow-stepping Wuzui, which is said to be a descendant of the mount of Xiang Yu, the overlord of Western Chu. It is a tall horse and very handsome.

Coupled with Zhang Fei's indomitable momentum, if his opponent were other generals, his momentum would be much weaker.

It's a pity that Zhang Fei's opponent is Lu Bu.

Lu Bu sat down and was shocked by Zhang Fei's momentum, but was successfully calmed down by him.

Then, Lu Bu held the reins with his left hand, and held Fang Tian's painted halberd with one hand in his right hand. He pointed at Zhang Fei and shouted loudly: "Ruan-eyed thief, if the red-faced thief is not here today, then you will die!"

After saying this, Lu Bu used force on his legs, clamped his horse's back, and rushed straight towards Zhang Fei.

Zhang Fei did not show any flinch in the face of the menacing Lu Bu. He also put his horse on his back and rushed towards Lu Bu.

Afterwards, the two fought together.

That day at Hulao Pass, when Lu Bu faced Zhang Fei, he did not attack with all his strength because he felt that there were many generals in the city and he wanted to reserve a little more strength for emergencies.

Facts also show that Lu Bu's judgment at the time was correct.

If Lu Bu hadn't held back when he faced Zhang Fei, he would have died in Hulao Pass.

But now, Lu Bu knew that Zhang Fei was the only one in Langya City, so he took action with all his strength this time. (End of chapter)
