After Sun Jian, the prefect of Changsha, died in battle, his son Sun Ce succeeded him.Sun Ce borrowed [-] elite soldiers from Yuan Shu to capture Jiangdong, but his [-] elite soldiers were exchanged for the Chuanguo Yuxi.Sun Ce has always hated Yuan Shu.

Yuan Shu used several tricks but failed to turn Lu Bu and Liu Bei into enemies.Later, because Zhang Fei robbed Lu Bu of hundreds of horses, Lu Bu was very angry, and he led the army to defeat Liu Bei.Liu Bei had no choice but to go to Cao Cao.Cao Cao received Liu Bei and asked Liu Bei to guard Yuzhou.Liu Bei led three thousand elite soldiers from Cao Cao's army to defend Yuzhou.

As soon as Liu Bei arrived in Yuzhou, he recruited troops and prepared to join forces with Cao Cao to eliminate Lu Bu.At this moment, Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao came to attack Cao Cao.As soon as Cao Cao sent troops, Zhang Xiu surrendered.Cao Cao took a fancy to Zhang Xiu's uncle's wife and wanted to marry her as his concubine.Zhang Xiu was furious, and he secretly attacked Cao Cao.Cao Cao was defeated and fled. His eldest son Cao Ang, general Dian Wei and others were all killed by Zhang Xiu's soldiers trying to save him.

Cao Cao had no choice but to return to court as a teacher.

Liu Bei joined forces with Cao Cao to attack Lu Bu.Liu Bei was in the vanguard, while Cao Cao was in the rear.Lu Bu defeated Liu Bei first.Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei were dispersed by the army.Cao Cao commanded the army to defeat Lu Bu, who was later killed by Cao Cao in front of the White Gate Tower.Lu Bu's general Zhang Liao was surrendered by Cao Cao.Finally, Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei defected to Cao Cao.

After arriving in Xuchang, Cao Cao settled Liu Bei's residence.One day, Cao Cao invited Liu Bei to his prime minister's mansion for a drink.The two of them were having a good time drinking, when the clouds gathered, and it was about to rain heavily.

Cao Cao asked Liu Bei, "Does Xuande understand the character of the dragon?" Liu Bei said, "No." Cao Cao said, "There are big dragons and small dragons. The big dragon is a big hero, and the little dragon is a small hero. Xuande must know. Heroes in the world, please tell me."

Liu Bei knew that Cao Cao was a traitor, so he pretended to say, "I'm so stupid, I can't see who is a hero." Cao Cao insisted on Liu Bei's answer.

Liu Bei had no choice but to say: "Is Yuan Shu a hero?" Cao Cao laughed and said: "Yuan Shu is a pile of dead bones, he can't escape my palm!" He is very big, so he should be a great hero, right?" Cao Cao said solemnly: "Although Yuan Shao has so many advantages, he will not make good use of them, so he cannot be called a hero." You can be regarded as a hero." Cao Cao said: "Liu Biaolang has a false name and has no popular support, so he is not a hero." Liu Bei also said: "Sun Ce who occupies Jiangdong is a hero, right?" Cao Cao said: "Sun Ce relied on his father's previous military strength. If not for the foundation laid by his father, Sun Jian, he would not even be a bear!" Liu Bei could only say: "Should Liu Zhang in Yizhou be considered a hero?" Cao Cao said: "Liu Zhang is ignorant, not a hero." Liu Bei also listed many people When he came out, Cao Cao laughed it off and dismissed it.Liu Bei had no choice but to ask: "Then who can be called a hero?" Cao Cao pointed at Liu Bei and then at himself and said, "Xuande and I are the great heroes in the world today!"

Liu Bei was so scared that he dropped his chopsticks when he heard this.At this time, there was a thunder from the sky, and Liu Bei said quickly: "This thunder was so powerful that it shook my chopsticks to the ground." Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "The hero is also afraid." Thunder?" Liu Bei hurriedly said, "The great sage Confucius was terrified when he encountered thunder, let alone me, a mere mortal!" Cao Cao didn't suspect that Liu Bei had any ulterior motives for him.

Liu Bei went home and told Guan Yu and Zhang Fei that Cao Cao invited him to drink to discuss the heroes of the world, and then he used thunder to deceive him.Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei praised Liu Bei for his resourcefulness and wisdom.

Yuan Shao eliminated Gongsun Zan, and Yuan Shu wanted to join Yuan Shao.Cao Cao followed Liu Bei's strategy and sent Liu Bei [-] troops to intercept Yuan Shu.Liu Bei occupied Xuzhou and defeated Yuan Shu, who was furious to death.

Liu Bei killed Cao Cao's confidant in Xuzhou. He was afraid of Cao Cao's revenge, so he sent someone to ask Yuan Shao for help.Yuan Shao agreed to Liu Bei's request, and he ordered someone to write a call to action against Cao Cao, preparing to attack Cao Cao.Cao Cao decided to eliminate Liu Bei first, and then attack Yuan Shao.

As soon as Cao Cao and Liu Bei fought, Liu Bei was defeated.Liu Bei defected to Yuan Shao, Guan Yu had to surrender to Cao Cao in order to protect the safety of Liu Bei's two wives, Zhang Fei led dozens of soldiers and fled to Mangdang Mountain to wait for the time to change.
