Chapter 55 Liu Bei dare not do it
It takes a few days for Mi Fang to withdraw the money back and forth.

Liu Bei led his troops to station outside Xiapi City.

Lu Bu closed the city gate tightly and ignored him.

Mi Fang, who had withdrawn the money, hadn't come back yet, another team appeared near Xiapi.

Cao Jun, who was fluttering in the wind, stood under the flag, and a member of Cao General stood up with a halberd.

"The lord did not catch up with Liu Bei, but he ran here." Looking at the army camped outside Xiapi City, General Cao ordered: "Immediately send someone to report to the lord, saying that Liu Bei did not go to Huainan, but came. Xuzhou. My lord, what should we do?"

Cao Jiang, who ordered, had a thin face and high cheekbones, but he had a stalwart physique.

He was banned under Cao Cao's command.

Cao Cao promised to send grain and grass to Xiapi, and Yu Jin led five hundred soldiers to escort three or four hundred grain carts.

When we arrived near Xiapi, we found Liu Bei's army stationed outside the city.

Before leaving, Cao Cao told him that once he met Liu Bei in Xuzhou, he would immediately send someone back to Xudu to report.

The messenger sent back, but Yu Jin was at a loss.

Liu Bei led an army of [-] to Xiapi, but he only led an army of [-] food guards.

If Lu Bu had the strength to drive Liu Bei away, he would have led his troops out of the city long ago, and he would not have allowed a single army to station outside the city.

With 500 people trying to help Lu Bu, it is really difficult.

At the head of Xiapi City, Lu Bu stood side by side with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun.

The direction they were looking at was the place where the forbidden supervisor transported grain and grass.

Not long ago, Cao Jun's battle flag was flying outside the city.

It's just that Cao Jun came to attack Xiapi at that time, but at this time they were delivering food to Xiapi.

"Cao Cao really sent food." Zhang Liao said, "It's a pity that Liu Bei is stationed outside the city. Seeing so much food, we can't lead it into the city..."

"Who says you can't lead them into the city?" Lu Bu smiled lightly, "Choose five hundred soldiers for me, and I'll go out of the city."

"But Liu Bei..." He wanted to leave the city, but Gao Shun hurriedly dissuaded him.

"The big-eared thief brought 5000 people to take down Xiapi. How could he know that I couldn't handle him, but I was just thinking about how to cut off his two protruding ears." Lu Bu said: "Don't say that you bring 500 people. Man, even if I go out alone, what can he do to me?"

"Or I'll go." Zhang Liao said: "The soldiers in the city are all counting on Wen Hou to lead them to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds, just in case..."

"There is no chance." Lu Bu interrupted him: "Liu Bei didn't bring many soldiers and horses. He knew very well that once there was a conflict with our army outside the city, he would never enter Xiapi again. This time, we will go out of the city. It is expected that he will not dare to touch me."

"Command, select 500 people and follow me out of the city." Lu Bu ordered again.

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao couldn't convince him, so they could only order five hundred elite soldiers.

The gate of Xiapi city was opened, and Lu Bu led [-] elite soldiers out of the city with Fang Tian's painted halberd.

Walking along the city wall to the direction where Cao Jun was stationed, he glanced at Liu Bei's army from afar.

A group of troops walked out of the city, and Liu Beijun responded immediately.

The soldiers lined up in formation, posing for battle.

With just a contemptuous smile, Lu Bu looked away.

Liu Bei was very upset when he waited for a Cao army before returning to Mi Zhu.

When Xiaopei passed by, Che Zhou, the governor of Xuzhou left after Cao Cao withdrew, sent him an order to return to Xudu immediately.

He cheated five thousand soldiers and finally left Xudu, how could Liu Bei go back?

After killing Che Zhou and taking Xiaopei, he led his army to Xiapi.

Having already made a rebellious move, returning to Xudu is the only way to die.

If you don't take down Xiapi, even if you stick to Xiaopei, you will be defeated by Cao Cao and Lu Briying sooner or later.

The only way to secure a firm foothold in Xuzhou is to destroy Lu Bu first.

Just worrying about Cao Jun's arrival, the guard outside the tent reported: "Speak to Uncle Emperor, there is a team coming out of the city."

Liu Bei stood up abruptly, and quickly walked out of the handsome tent.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who had been silent in the tent with him, followed closely behind.

The soldiers had long been ready to attack Lu Bu as long as he gave an order.

Coming to the front of the array, Liu Bei frowned as he looked at Lu Bu who had already passed by.

"It doesn't seem to be Lu Bu." Guan Yu said, "It should be Lu Bu's nephew."

"This man looks very similar to Lu Bu. I heard that he went to Huainan to kill Yuan Shu." Liu Bei said, "He is also capable, so don't dare to underestimate him."

"Brother, why do you grow other people's ambitions to destroy your own prestige?" Zhang Fei said: "Since he is out of the city, why don't you rush and kill him. Then forcefully attack Xiapi, and I will give Lu Bu's head to my brother."

"Absolutely not!" Liu Bei categorically vetoed: "Although Cao Cao just attacked Xiapi a few days ago, Lu Bu's troops are not many, but there are at least more than 2000 people. However, when attacking a city, the number of soldiers and horses is not five times that of the enemy. There is no chance of winning. If I had 1 people, I would definitely wipe out these people who left the city. But I only have 5000 people, so all I can do is wait!"

"If Lu Bu was willing to let us enter the city, he would have opened the city gate long ago." Guan Yu also said beside him, "Did my brother think too much?"

"He detained Mi Zhu and asked me for money because he wanted to see my sincerity." Liu Bei said, "We killed Che Zhou in secret, and outsiders didn't know about it. Besides, Lu Bu didn't have much contact with the outside world, so he couldn't possibly know the inside story. I'll send the money to see if he has any reason to refuse us to enter the city."

"Just watch those people leave like this?" Looking at Lu Bu who was gradually walking away, Zhang Fei was very unwilling: "Once they get in touch with Cao Cao's people, there will be more troubles."

"If we beat them, we will have more trouble than letting them get in touch." Liu Bei frowned. "I really admire Lu Bu's little general. He dared to leave the city knowing that our army is outside the city."

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked at Lu Bu's back with gloomy expressions.

Liu Bei didn't allow them to intercept them, and the two of them couldn't make a decision without authorization. They could only watch Lu Bu lead people to Cao Jun's side.

With [-] soldiers, Lu Bu walked towards Cao's army to transport grain without haste.

Seeing him coming, Yu Jin smiled and said to the captain next to him: "I saw this man in Xudu and thought he was unusual. I didn't expect to have such courage. He even swaggered in front of Liu Bei. Out of town."

"This man's courage is indeed admirable." The captain agreed.

"Who am I? So it's General Yu." Lu Bu knew many of Cao Cao's subordinates before, and when he went to Xudu, he even had an excuse to get close to Yu Jin, and he raised his hands before he came to him.

"Just now I was talking to the captain about the courage of the Major General." Yu Jin replied, "Liu Bei didn't know his intentions, yet he dared to pass by in front of him. If it were me, I would definitely not be so courageous."

"His intention couldn't be more obvious. It's nothing more than taking down the Pi." Lu Bu chuckled, "But I'm sure he won't dare to do it this time."
