Chapter 6 Liu Bei wins Xuzhou

Cao Jun retreated, and Tao Qian wanted to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei.Liu Bei refused to agree.Tao Qian had no choice but to say to Liu Bei: "Xuande is the uncle of the Han Dynasty, so he should lead Xuzhou!" Liu Bei said, "Xuzhou belongs to Tao Taishou, and I will not take orders." , I will not force you. There is a military fortress named Xiaopei outside Xuzhou City, you can lead troops to garrison there. This will prevent Cao Cao from leading troops to attack Xuzhou." Liu Bei said: "Okay!" Immediately led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and other generals went to Xiaopei.

Lü Bu was defeated by Cao Cao and had nowhere to go to join Liu Bei.At this time, Liu Bei had become Xuzhou Shepherd and commanded Xuzhou.Because Tao Qian died, Tao Qian gave Xuzhou to Liu Bei when he was dying.

Lu Bu came to join Liu Bei.Zhang Fei disagreed. He said, "Lü Bu is a villain who betrays his promise. He will definitely murder you when he comes here, so you should ignore him." Liu Bei said, "When Lv Bu attacked Xuzhou when Cao Cao invaded Xuzhou, he attacked Yanzhou." , Contained Cao Cao, which made Cao Cao give up attacking Xuzhou. The siege of Xuzhou was lifted, and Lv Bu was credited. Now that Lv Bu has been defeated by Cao Cao and has nowhere to go, we should take him in, otherwise everyone in the world will laugh at our inhumanity."

Liu Bei went out of the city to welcome Lu Bu into the city. Liu Bei took out the great seal of Xuzhou and put it in his hand, and said to Lu Bu: "When Duke Tao passed away, he asked me to rule Xuzhou on his behalf. I, Liu Bei, have no morals and incompetence. I often worry that Xuzhou will not be managed well. I am afraid that I will fail Tao Gong’s expectations, and I am also afraid that the people of Xuzhou will suffer because of me. Now that General Lu is here, I am going to resign as the Xuzhou shepherd and let General Lu rule Xuzhou. What do you think?” Lu Bu couldn’t help but interjected: "Okay! Since General Liu has difficulties and doesn't want to be the Xuzhou shepherd, I am willing to share his worries for General Liu!" After speaking, he stood up to pick up the Xuzhou seal sent by Liu Bei.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei stood behind Liu Bei and glared at Lv Bu. Lv Bu hurriedly smirked and said to Liu Bei, "Actually, I, Lv Bu, cannot lead Xuzhou. The best candidate.

I'd better listen to General Liu! "Liu Bei wants to give up his official position to Lu Bu again. Chen Gong, Lu Bu's adviser, said: "We are the guests, and General Liu is the host. Don't disturb the order."General Liu, stop being humble. "Liu Bei had no choice but to stop pressing.

The next day, Lu Bu invited Liu Bei to drink.Guan Yu and Zhang Fei also followed.While drinking, Liu Bei proposed to let Lu Bu be the shepherd of Xuzhou.Lu Bu pretended to say again: "Brother Liu Xian, don't embarrass me anymore." Zhang Fei couldn't help being furious after hearing Lu Bu's words: "How dare you bully my brother! Do you want to be beaten? I'm not afraid of you. We'll come to the door Go out and fight for [-] rounds, and see who defeats who!" Liu Bei quickly stopped Zhang Fei loudly, and Guan Yu told Zhang Fei not to make trouble here.Lu Bu was very unhappy.After the banquet was over, Zhang Fei rode a tall horse and took his snake spear to Lu Bu's gate to call for battle.He was stopped by Liu Bei again.

Lu Bu wanted to say goodbye to Liu Bei. Lu Bu said: "General Liu treats me as a guest of honor. I will keep that in mind, but Zhang Fei and others don't welcome me very much. I'd better lead the troops and leave to avoid embarrassing General Liu." Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Lu Bu. Said: "General Lu's words are wrong. My third brother Zhang Fei is very reckless. Don't take it to heart, don't be as knowledgeable as him." Lu Bu said: "I'd better go!"

Liu Bei persuaded him hard, and finally said: "General Lu, if you don't think Xiaopei is a small place, then please ask General Lu to garrison the army there!" Lu Bu applauded loudly.So Lu Bu led his troops to station in Xiaopei.

At this time, Cao Cao led the army to quell the civil strife in the court.Threatening Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, to move his capital to Xuchang, Cao Cao shocked the Quartet for a while.Many people admire Cao Cao's strategy of coercing the emperor to make the princes.Cao Cao wanted to destroy Lu Bu, and his advisers offered him a wonderful secret plan.It is to make Liu Bei and Lu Bu turn against each other and attack each other.Lu Bu fell for it.When Lu Bu took Liu Bei to lead the army to attack Yuan Shu, he captured Xuzhou City at once, and Xuzhou became Lu Bu's territory.

Yuan Shu knew that Lu Bu had captured Xuzhou, so he immediately sent someone to tell Lu Bu that if he was willing to send troops to attack Liu Bei, he would give Lu Bu gold, silver and treasure.Lu Bu did this and defeated Liu Bei.But Yuan Shu did not give him gold and silver treasures.Lu Bu was angry and wanted to lead his troops to attack Yuan Shu.The counselor Chen Gong said to him: "You are not Yuan Shu's opponent. He has a lot of soldiers and food, and it is difficult to defeat him for a while. The general might as well invite Liu Bei back and let him garrison Xiaopei, so that the two sides can make peace, and there will be support from inside and outside. Don't be afraid of Yuan Shu anymore.

At that time, you can order Liu Bei to be the vanguard, first eliminate Yuan Shu, and then attack Yuan Shao. At that time, the general will be able to achieve hegemony. Lu Bu adopted Chen Gong's strategy, and asked Liu Bei to return to Xiaopei to garrison. Liu Bei had to lead Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Xiaopei to garrison.
