Jagged hegemony of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 247 The Battle of Xuzhou (1)

We said in the last book that Liu Wei was furious and wanted to clean up Liaozhou's officialdom, but Liu Wei couldn't do things too badly, so he came up with such a method. If you have done something wrong, no matter how big it is, As long as you admit your mistakes, I don't have to kill you, but you must be punished, and you will be fined as much as you have done.

Upon hearing the news, the Liaozhou officialdom immediately exploded. A batch of officials came to Liaozhou to plead guilty. To investigate those officials who did not come to Liaozhou to plead guilty, and as a result, more than 20 corrupt officials were caught. Liu Wei didn't say anything, just one word, behead!

For a time, the officialdom in Liaozhou was extremely clean and honest. From Liu Wei himself to a small village chief, he dared not have the slightest bit of greed and corruption.

Besides Lu Bu, after he voted in Xuzhou, Liu Bei treated him with courtesy, but Zhang Fei was unconvinced, and tried to find fault with Lu Bu several times, and wanted to compete with Lu Bu.

On this day, suddenly an envoy came to Xuzhou and met Liu Bei secretly.

"Master Zhao will come the next day, I don't know what advice I can give you!"

Liu Bei secretly met the Master Zhao sent by Cao Cao in his study.

"Hehe, Mr. Xuande, we Ming people don't speak dark words. Lu Bu betrayed his master and his family slaves. He betrayed his master three times. Dong Zhuo and Ding Yuan all died under his sword. Duke Cao sent me here this time. I just want you to get rid of Lu Bu, so that Lu Bu won't harm Duke Xuande in the future!"

The messenger surnamed Zhao said to Liu Bei.

"This!"

Liu Bei hesitated to answer.

"Mr. Xuande, don't be merciful. General Cao has come to protect your state shepherd's position! Whether to kill or keep, I hope Liu Xuzhou will think carefully about it!"

After speaking, the envoy surnamed Zhao got up and left.

That night, Liu Bei summoned his generals to discuss the matter.

"Brother, what are you waiting for? Cao Cao ordered you to do it. When the time comes, cut off Lu Bu's head and bring it to Cao Cao! Besides, Lu Bu is an innocent person, so why not kill him!"

Zhang Fei was impatient, jumped out and shouted.

"Third brother! Lü Bu is poor, and he came to join me. If I kill him, what is the difference between him and him!"

Liu Bei said.

At this time, Guan Yu, who had always been taciturn, stood up and said, "Brother, Lu Bu, Jiuhuye, even if you don't kill them, you can't keep them. Otherwise, you might feed tigers into trouble!"

However, for the sake of face, Liu Bei just disagreed, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei came out disgruntled.

The next day, Liu Bei held a banquet in the mansion for Lu Bu.

At the banquet, Lv Bu congratulated, "Congratulations to my virtuous brother Xuande, you have been rewarded by the imperial court and have taken up the post of state shepherd!"

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

During the banquet, Zhang Fei drank a few cups of mulled wine, suddenly drew his sword and stabbed at Lu Bu.

"General Zhang San, why is this?"

Lu Bu hurriedly picked up a bench to resist.

"Slave with three surnames, Cao Cao wants my elder brother to take your dog's life, but my elder brother refuses, so I will kill you for my elder brother!"

"Third brother, step back!"

Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly stopped Zhang Fei.

"Ah! Disaster will happen after a long time!"

Zhang Fei threw away his sword and walked out in dismay.

Lü Bu was terrified, looked at Liu Bei and asked, "Xuande, why is this?"

Liu Bei invited Lu Bu to the back hall, took out Cao Cao's letter, and told Lu Bu what the envoy said.

Lu Bu said angrily: "Cao Cao's bastard, this is trying to create a gap between us!"

Liu Bei is also good at persuading.

The next day, Liu Bei wrote a letter to send the mission back to Beijing. He expressed his gratitude and wrote back to Cao Cao.The mission went back to Cao Cao and said that Xuande would not kill Lu Bu.

Cao Cao asked Xun Yu: "This plan can't work, what can I do?"

Xun Yu thought for a long time, and said to Cao Cao, "There is another plan, which is called the plan of driving away tigers and swallowing wolves."

Cao Cao was puzzled and asked, "Stop the tiger and devour the wolf? What's the plan?"

Xun Yu stroked his beard with a smile, and said, "Maybe secretly ask someone to ask Yuan Shu, and report that Liu Bei has submitted a secret form to attack Nanjun. Yuan Shu will be angry and attack when he hears about it; Cao Gong is clearly ordering Liu Bei to challenge Yuan Shu. If the two sides join forces, Lu Bu will definitely have a different heart: this is also a plan to drive away tigers and wolves."

Cao Cao was overjoyed and sent people to Yuan Shu first to inform Yuan Shu that Liu Bei intended to attack Nanjun. He also sent people to Xuzhou under the false edict of the emperor, ordering Liu Bei to be careful of Yuan Shu, saying that Yuan Shu was about to attack Xuzhou soon, and he had the heart of rebellion, so he ordered Liu Bei to send troops first. Attack Yuan Shu.

However, after the envoy arrived in Xuzhou, he handed over the emperor's edict to Liu Bei, and Liu Bei was frowning.

Sun Qian said to Liu Bei: "Mr. Xuande, is this Cao Cao's plan?"

"Hehe, the old thief Cao Cao is cunning, but the order of the emperor must not be slackened, so we have no choice but to attack this Yuan Shu."

In fact, Liu Bei also had selfish intentions. When the [-]th princes were begging for Dong, Yuan Shu looked down on him, thinking that he was a pariah weaving mats and selling shoes. Do you dare to underestimate me.

But this expedition belongs to the expedition, and Xuzhou still needs someone to guard it. Liu Bei looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, hesitating in his heart, who should guard Xuzhou.

If you find out according to the historical trajectory, it is Zhang Fei guarding Xuzhou, and then Xuzhou City was taken away by Lu Bu, but this time Liu Bei didn't know what was wrong, so he said to Guan Yu: "Second brother's martial arts, all strategies are superior. Wait, you can take care of Xuzhou, and my third brother will follow me to the expedition!"

"Here!"

Guan Yu was not hypocritical, and led five thousand soldiers to guard Xuzhou.

It is said that Liu Bei led the [-] horse infantry to march to Yuan Shu's ears. Yuan Shu was very angry. He thought that when the eighteenth princes were begging for Dong, you, a little bastard, didn't even have a place to sit. Come attack me!
So Yuan Shu cursed: "The mat weavers and shoe sellers are really greedy. I haven't asked him to occupy Xuzhou yet. How dare he attack me? Who will capture Liu Bei with me?"

Ji Ling, Yuan Shu's general, stood up and said, "Why should Duke Yuan be so angry, but he is a weaver of mats and shoes, and I would like to take his head for Duke Yuan!"

"it is good!"

At that moment, Yuan Shao and Ji Ling sent an army of [-], named Ji Ling, to rob and kill Liu Bei.

The two armies fought against Xuyi.

Ji Ling ran out and cursed: "Liu Bei, you little bastard who weaves mats and sells shoes, if my lord is not going to attack you, you still dare to come here to find fault. You are an old lady who eats arsenic and is tired of living!"

"Dog, what are you, you dare to scold my elder brother, I cut off your tongue and drink!"

When Zhang Fei saw that Ji Ling was scolding his elder brother, it was okay, so he pointed at Ji Ling with the Zhangba Snake Spear and started to spray.

This Ji Ling is from Shandong. In the early years, Yuan Shu met Ji Ling when he was playing in Shandong. The three-pointed two-edged sword weighed more than fifty catties, and countless enemy soldiers died under this sword.

Ji Ling also had a violent temper. When he heard Zhang Fei scolding him, it was fine.
