Dong Cheng and the others asked Ma Teng,"Who do you want to appoint?”Ma Teng said,"I see Liu Bei, the herdsman of Yuzhou, here. Why not ask him?"

What?" "Although he is the Imperial Uncle, he is now attached to Cao Cao. How can he do such a thing?"”"I was watching the scene in the yard a few days ago," said Teng.

When Cao Cao was receiving the congratulations of the audience, Liu Yun was standing behind Liu Bei and wanted to kill Cao Cao with his sword. Liu Bei looked at him and stopped. It's not that Xuande doesn't want it

Cao Cao, hate Cao Cao's teeth and claws, I'm afraid he can't catch up. If you ask for it, it will be granted." Wu Shuo said,"We shouldn't rush things. We should take it easy.

Let's discuss." Everyone dispersed. The next day, in the dark of the night, Dong Chenghuai issued an edict and went straight to Liu Bei's residence. The gatekeeper went in to report, and Liu Bei went out to meet him.

He entered the small pavilion and sat down. Guan Yu and Zhang Yu stood beside him. "There must be something wrong," said Liu Bei.”"Riding a horse in broad daylight," replied Cheng.

When they visited each other, they were afraid that Cao Cao would suspect them, so they met at night.”Liu Bei ordered wine to be served. "A few days ago in the enclosure, Commander Yun wanted to kill Cao Cao," said Cheng.

Cao Cao, why did the general move his eyes and shake his head and retreat?”"How do you know?" said Liu Bei, startled.”"No one will see me," said Cheng.

I saw him alone." Liu Bei could not conceal the truth. He said,"My brother saw that Cao Cao had overstepped his authority, so he was not angry.”He covered his face with his hands and wept,"Morning!"

Court courtiers, if all like cloud long, why worry about not peaceful ah!”Liu Bei was afraid that Cao Cao had sent him to test the waters, so he pretended to say,"Prime Minister Cao Zhi

Why is the country worried about peace?" "You are the uncle of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty," said Cheng, his face pale,"and I have told you all my heart and soul. Why are you deceiving me?”

"I am afraid that my uncle may be deceiving me," said Liu Bei.”So Dong Cheng took out his belt and read the edict. Liu Bei was very sad and angry. And I'll show you the righteous deeds

There were only six people on the list: One was Dong Cheng, the general of chariots and horses; Second, Prince Fu, assistant minister of the Ministry of Works; Third, Changshui Colonel Zhong Ji; Fourth, discuss

Wu Shuo, the fifth general, Wu Zilan, the fifth general, the fifth general. The sixth is Ma Teng, prefect of Xiliang. Liu Bei said,"Since you have been ordered to attack the rebels, I will not be disobedient.

Thank you for the horse." Zhang Cheng thanked him and asked for the name of the book. Liu Bei also wrote,"Left General Liu Bei," and handed it over to Liu Cheng. "Shang," said Cheng.

Please let me invite the three of you to join the Ten Righteous Sects to plot against the rebels."It should be carried out slowly and not easily.”We discuss five

Let's go.

Liu Bei also took precautions against Cao Cao's plot, so he planted vegetables in the backyard and watered them himself as a cover-up. "Brother," said Guan and Zhang.

Why do you not pay attention to the affairs of the world and learn the affairs of villains?”"You don't know that," said Liu Bei.”The two men stopped talking.

One day, when Guan Zhong and Zhang Xuan were not around, Liu Bei was watering vegetables in the backyard. Xu Chu and Zhang Liao led dozens of people into the garden and said,"The Prime Minister has ordered,

Please go ahead." "What's the matter?" asked Liu Bei in surprise.”"I don't know," replied Xu Chu. He only asked me to come and invite him." Xuande could only

He followed the two men into the mansion to see Cao Cao. Cao Cao laughed and said,"You've done a great job at home.”? Liu Bei's face turned ashen. Cao Cao took Liu Bei's hand and walked to the back.

"It is not easy for Liu Bei to learn from the garden," said the scholar.”Liu Bei was relieved."I have nothing to do," he replied.”Cao Cao said,"I just saw the plum blossoms on the branches

Ziqing suddenly felt that last year when Zhang Xiu was attacked, there was a lack of water on the road, and the soldiers were thirsty. I had a plan in my heart. I pointed the whip at the air and said: 'There are plums ahead

Lin. When the soldiers heard this, they all spat, so they were not thirsty. Now that I see this plum blossom, I have to admire it. Coincidentally, the wine is cooked, so I invited you to be a little girl.

Pavilion for a while." Liu Bei's mind was at ease. When he came to the pavilion, he had already set up a table: A plate of green plums and a bottle of boiled wine. The two of them sit opposite each other, happy and happy

Drink. When the wine was half drunk, suddenly the clouds were dark and the rain was coming. His entourage pointed to the dragon hanging in the sky from afar. Cao Cao and Liu Bei leaned against the railing to watch. Cao Cao said:

"Do you know the transformation of dragons?" "I do not know the details," said Liu Bei. Cao Cao said,"The dragon can be big or small, can rise or hide; Great prosperity

Clouds spit out fog, small to hide the shape; When you rise, you soar in the universe, and when you hide, you lurk in the waves. It's late spring now, and the dragon rides the changing times

Civilization is like a man who has achieved his ambition and can dominate the four seas. The dragon is a creature comparable to the heroes of the world. Liu Bei has been in the world for a long time, so he must know the heroes of the world. please try

Point it out." "How can you recognize a hero with your naked eyes?”"Don't be too modest," said Cao Cao. Liu Bei said,"I am grateful for your protection.

He was an official in the court. The heroes of the world are truly unknown." Cao Cao replied,"I do not know his face, but I have heard of his name.”"Yuan of Huainan," said Liu Bei.

If you have enough food and grass, can you be a hero?”Cao Cao laughed and said,"I will catch him sooner or later.”"Yuan of Hebei," said Liu Bei.

Yuan Shao, four generations of three public, family is mostly old officials; Now the tiger is occupying Jizhou, and there are many capable subordinates. Can he be a hero? Cao Cao laughed and said,"Yuan, I'm sorry."

Yuan Shao's face is fierce and timid, and he is good at planning and indecisive. He does great things but cherishes himself. He forgets his life when he sees small profits. He's not a hero. Xuande said,"There is a man named

Eight handsome, Wei town Jiuzhou: Liu Jingsheng can be a hero?”Cao Cao said,"Liu Biao is a false name, but not a true one. He is no hero.”"Yes," said Liu Bei.

A man full of vigor, Jiangdong leader-Sun Bofu is a hero?”Cao Cao said,"Sun Ce borrowed his father's name. He is no hero.”Xuan

"Liu Jiyu of Yizhou," said Sun De,"can he be a hero?”Cao Cao said,"Although Liu Zhang is a member of the royal family, he is but a dog guarding the door. He is not worthy of being called a hero.

Xiong!" "What about Zhang Xiu, Zhang Lu, and Han Sui?" asked Liu Bei.”Cao Cao clapped his hands and laughed, saying,"What a lowly man!

It's worth mentioning!" "Other than that, I really don't know.”Cao Cao said,"A hero is a man of great ambition and good strategy.

There is a person who can contain the opportunity of the universe and swallow the ambition of heaven and earth.”"Who can resist him?" asked Liu Bei. Cao Cao pointed to Xuande and then pointed to himself.

"The only heroes in the world today are you and Cao Cao.”Xuande was startled and dropped the spoon and chopsticks in his hand.

Down. At that time, it was about to rain, and thunder roared. Liu Bei bowed his head and picked up his chopsticks, saying,"The power of a single shock has reached this point.”Cao smiled

The man said,"Do men also fear thunder?" Liu Bei said,"The sage is quick and swift, and the wind is fierce. How can he not be afraid?”I'll hear the reason why I lost my chopsticks.

He had concealed it lightly. Cao Cao no longer suspected Liu Bei. Later generations have a poem praising it: "I have been forced to rush from the tiger's den, and I have been frightened to kill the hero." By chance

Thunder to cover up, adapt to the situation as if God.”

Just as the rain stopped, he saw two people crash into the back garden, holding a sword in their hands, rushing to the front of the pavilion, unable to stop them. Cao Cao looked at it and saw that it was Guan Zhong.

It's Zhang and Zhang. They had just returned from shooting arrows outside the city. When they heard that Liu Bei had been summoned by Xu Chu and Zhang Liao, they hurried to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inquire.

Xiang Zhuang and Xiang Bo?" Liu Bei smiled. Cao Cao ordered,"Bring wine to Fan Kuai and Fan Yu to calm them down.”Guan Yu and Zhang Yu thanked him. After a while, the banquet was over.

He took his leave of Cao Cao and returned home. "You nearly killed two of us," said Guan Yu.”Liu Bei told Guan Yu and Zhang Yu about the fallen chopsticks. Guan Yu and Zhang Yu asked what he meant. Xuan

"My learning garden is to let Cao Cao know that I have no ambition. I didn't expect Cao Cao to call me a hero, so I was shocked and dropped my chopsticks. I'm afraid I'll be born

Suspicion, so I'm afraid of thunder to cover it up.”"You are truly wise, brother," said Guan Yu and Zhang Yu.

The next day Cao Cao asked Liu Bei to come again. While drinking, someone reported that Man Chong had gone to inquire about Yuan Shao and returned. Cao Cao called him in and asked him. "Gongsun Zan is dead," said Chong.

It was broken by Yuan Shao." "I would like to hear the details," said Liu Bei.”"Gongsun Zan was defeated in the battle against Yuan Shao," said Chong."He built a wall and surrounded it, and on top of it he built

The building is ten feet high and is called Yijing Building. It stores 300,000 grain for self-defense. The soldiers kept coming in and out, and some of them were surrounded by Yuan Shao. The soldiers asked for help.

Gongsun Zan said,"If you save one person, the people who fight later will only hope that others will save you and will not fight to the death.'So he refused to save him. Therefore, when Yuan Shao's army came, many surrendered.

The people. Gongsun Zan was lonely and sent a letter to Xudu for help. Unexpectedly, he was captured by Yuan Shao's army on the way. Gongsun Zan also sent a letter to Zhang Yan, secretly agreed to raise a fire as a sign.

Cooperate from the inside and outside. Yuan Shao captured the man who had sent the letter, but he set fire to the city to lure the enemy. Gongsun Zan himself went out to fight, and the ambush was everywhere. The army and horses were defeated.

Half. When they retreated to the city, Yuan Shao dug a hole through the ground and went straight to Gongsun Zan's house and set fire to it. Gongsun Zan did not run away. He killed his wife and children first, and then he himself.

Hanging, the whole family was burned. Now that Yuan Shao has captured Gongsun Zan's army, his momentum is very strong. Yuan Shao's younger brother Yuan Shu was too arrogant and extravagant in Huainan and did not sympathize with the army and the people.

Everyone turned their backs and rebelled. Yuan Shu sent people to return the title of emperor to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao wanted to take the jade seal, Yuan Shu agreed to personally send it to Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao saw that Yuan Shao had abandoned Huainan and wanted to return to Hebei. if the second

It's hard to recover it if we work together. I beg the Prime Minister to make an urgent plan." When Liu Bei heard of Gongsun Zan's death, he was deeply saddened by the fact that Gongsun Zan had recommended him.

I don't know where Zhao Zilong is, so I can't rest assured. And he thought to himself,"If I don't find a way to escape now, what else can I do?"

When?" Then he rose to his feet and said to Cao Cao,"If Yuan Shu defects to Yuan Shao, he will certainly pass through Xuzhou. I request an army to intercept him halfway. We will be able to capture him.”Cao smiled

"I will report this to the Emperor in the future," said the Emperor."Then we will immediately raise an army.”The next day, Liu Bei reported to the king. Cao Cao ordered Liu Bei to lead 50,000 troops, and Zhu Ling and Lu to join the army.

Zhang Zhao and Wang Jian went together. Liu Bei bid farewell to Emperor Wu, who wept and sent him off.

When Liu Bei arrived at his residence, he packed up his military equipment and saddled horse, hung the general's seal on his head, and urged them to leave. Dong Cheng drove him out of the ten-mile pavilion to see him off. Liu Bei

"How can you be patient, Imperial Uncle? I'll definitely repay you with this trip." "You should pay attention to it," said Cheng."Do not betray the Emperor.”The two parted ways. Guan,

"Why are you in such a hurry, brother?" asked Zhang on horseback.”"I am a bird in a cage, a fish in a net," said Liu Bei."This journey is a journey.

Just like fish into the sea, birds into the blue sky, not by the shackles of the cage net!”So he ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Yu to urge Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao's troops to move quickly.

At that time, Guo Jia and Cheng Yu had just returned from the examination of money and food. When they learned that Cao Cao had sent Liu Bei to attack Xuzhou, they hurriedly went to remonstrate."Why did the Prime Minister order Liu Bei?

Overseer?" "I want to intercept Yuan Shu," said Cao Cao. Cheng Yu replied,"When Liu Bei was the herdsman of Yuzhou, we requested to kill him, but the Prime Minister refused.

Today, we are sending troops to attack him again. This is like letting a dragon go into the sea and letting a tiger return to the mountain. If you want to cure it later, can you do it?" Guo Jia said,"Even if the Prime Minister does not kill me,

Liu Bei should not be allowed to leave. The ancients said: once let the enemy go, will be a disaster for thousands of years. I hope the Prime Minister will examine it." Cao Cao agreed and ordered Xu Chu to lead the army.

Five hundred men went to catch up with Liu Bei. Xu Chu agreed and left.

As Liu Bei was walking, a cloud of dust suddenly rose behind him and said to Guan Zhong and Zhang Xuan,"This must be Cao Cao's army." So he left the camp

He ordered Guan Yu and Zhang Yu to stand on both sides with weapons in their hands. When Xu Chu arrived, he saw the soldiers in full armor. He dismounted and went into the camp to see Liu Bei. Liu Bei said,

"Why are you here?" "The Prime Minister has ordered me to ask you to return, General. We have other matters to discuss.”Liu Bei said,"The general is outside.

There are some things I don't accept. I met you face to face, and I was told by the Prime Minister. Now that there is no other discussion, you can return quickly and report to the Prime Minister for me.”Xu Chuxun

"The Prime Minister has always been on good terms with him," replied Si."He has never taught me to fight. I can only reply to him and wait for his decision.”

So he bade farewell to Liu Bei and returned with his army. When he returned to Cao Cao, he told Cao Cao what Liu Bei had said. Cao Cao hesitated. Cheng Yu and Guo Jia said,"I refuse.

If we withdraw our troops, we can see that he has changed his mind." "I have Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao with me," said Cao Cao."I don't think Liu Bei will dare to change his mind. Besides, I've already sent

How can I regret it?" So he stopped pursuing Liu Bei. Later generations have written a poem praising Liu Bei, saying,"The troops are ready and the horses are in a hurry. My heart is thinking of the words of Heaven.

In the middle. Break through the iron cage to escape the tiger leopard, open the golden lock to escape the dragon.”When Ma Teng saw that Liu Bei had left and that the news from the border was urgent, he also returned to Xiliang.

On the other hand, he sent someone to inquire about Yuan Shu. "Yuan Shu is too extravagant. Lei Bao and Chen Lan have gone to Mount Song. The power of the art is very weak, so

He wrote a letter to Yuan Shao to give up the title of emperor. Yuan Shao ordered Yuan Shu to be summoned. Yuan Shu packed up his troops and palace belongings and went to Xuzhou first.”Xuande knows Yuan

Yuan Shu was about to arrive, so he led 50,000 troops from Guan Zhong, Zhang Zhong, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to meet the vanguard Ji Ling. Zhang Fei didn't say anything and went straight for Ji.

Spirit. After less than ten rounds of fighting, Zhang Fei shouted and stabbed Ji Ling under his horse. The defeated army fled. Yuan Shu personally led his army to fight. Xuande divided his forces into three groups.

On the way, Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao were on the left, and Guan Yu and Zhang Yu were on the right. Liu Bei himself led his troops in the middle. When he met Yuan Shu, he scolded him under the banner of the gate."You rebel!

I'm here to punish you! You should surrender and spare yourself the crime.”Yuan Shu scolded,"You are a junior who weaves mats and shoes.

The number of soldiers who fled was incalculable. He was also robbed of money, food and fodder by Lei Bo and Chen Lan of Mount Song. He wanted to return to Shouchun, but was attacked by a group of thieves. He had to stay.

At the River Pavilion. There were only a thousand men, all old and weak. At that time, it was hot and there was no food left. There were only thirty bushels of wheat left. The soldiers were dispatched. home

People have no food, and many starve to death. Yuan Shu thought the rice was too thick to swallow, so he ordered the cook to take honey water to quench his thirst. The cook said,"There is only blood.

There's honey water!" Yuan Shu sat on the bed, shouted loudly, fell to the ground, vomited blood more than a bucket, and died. It was June of the fourth year of Jian 'an. descendants

There is a poem that says: At the end of the Han Dynasty, weapons rose from all directions. Yuan Shu was too arrogant for no reason. He did not think that he would be the prime minister for generations, but wanted to be an emperor alone. Violent and boastful

The emperor passed on the national seal, arrogant and extravagant, and said that it should be auspicious. Thirsty for honey water can not get, lying alone on the empty bed vomiting blood and died.”Yuan Shu is dead, and his nephew Yuan Yin is carrying the coffin.

When his wife and children fled to Lujiang, they were all killed by Xu Wei. Tian captured the jade seal and went to Xudu to present it to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was very happy and granted Xu Wei the title of Gao Ling Tai.

Defend. At this time, the jade seal belongs to Cao Cao.

When Liu Bei learned of Yuan Shu's death, he wrote a memorial to the court and sent it to Cao Cao. He ordered Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao to return to the capital, leaving behind an army to guard it.

Xuzhou, on the other hand, personally went out of the city to summon the scattered people to resume their jobs.

Zhu Ling and Lu Zhao returned to Xudu to see Cao Cao and told him that Liu Bei had left his army behind. Cao Cao was furious and wanted to kill them. Xun Yu said,"The power belongs to Liu

He came to see Che Zhou and told him Cao Cao's imperial edict. Yuan Zhou immediately asked Chen Deng to discuss this matter. "It's easy," said Sun Deng. Now Liu Bei has gone out of the city to recruit people.

When the enemy is about to return, you can order the soldiers to lie in ambush beside the barbican, just to meet him, and when the horse comes, kill him with a knife. I shot at the rear of the army on the wall,

The great event is over." Yuan Zhou followed his advice. Chen Deng went back to see his father Chen Wanggui and told him everything. Wang Gui ordered Wang Deng to go ahead and report to Liu Bei. I'm on my father's orders, Pegasus

When he went to report, he met Guan Yu and Zhang Yu. The report said so. It turned out that Guan Zhong and Zhang Xuan had returned first, with Liu Bei behind them. When Zhang Fei heard this, he wanted to go and play.

Kill. "He's waiting for me by the barbican," said Guan Yu."If he goes, he'll lose. I have a plan to kill Che Zhou. I'll disguise myself as Cao Cao's army and go to Xuzhou at night.

He led his chariot out to meet him and killed him." Yue Fei agreed. The troops under Cao Cao's banner were dressed in the same armor. At midnight, we arrived at the city.

He called at the door. The people on the city wall asked who it was. They should be Zhang Wenyuan's men sent by Prime Minister Cao. Tell Che Zhou, Che Zhou urgently asked Chen Deng to discuss: "If

If you don't meet him, I'm afraid there will be suspicion. If you go out to meet him, I'm afraid there will be fraud.”Then Zhou went up to the city wall and said,"It is hard to distinguish the night, but the sun is bright.

He could only put on his armor and mount his horse, leading a thousand troops out of the city. He ran across the suspension bridge and shouted,"Where's Wenyuan?"”In the light of the fire, the cloud leader raised his sword and galloped his horse

He went straight to meet the chariot and shouted,"How dare you, a common man, try to kill my brother?”Che Zhou was shocked. After fighting for a few rounds, he couldn't stop the enemy and pulled his horse away.

So he went back. When they reached the suspension bridge, Chen Deng on the city wall shot arrows at them, and the chariots and armor ran around the city. The commander rushed over, raised his knife, and cut the horse.

He took his head back and looked up at the city wall and shouted: "I have killed the traitor Che Zhou. You are all innocent. Surrender and you will be spared from death!”All the troops turned their backs on him

After the surrender, the army and the people were at ease. Guan Yu took the head of Che Zhou to meet Liu Bei and told him in detail what Che Zhou wanted to kill him. Now he had been beheaded. "Cao Cao," said Xuan De in alarm.

If you come. What should I do?" "I will go with Zhang Fei to meet him," said Guan Yu.”Liu Bei was very remorseful and went to Xuzhou. The people, elders, bow down

The road is connected. Liu Bei went to the mansion and found Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei had killed Che Zhou's whole family. Liu Bei said,"How could I kill Cao Cao's confidant?"

Xio?" "I have a plan to repel Cao Cao," said Chen Deng.”[Original title: Leaving the tiger's den alone, I will also calculate the wolf's smoke.] not know

Chen Deng told him what he had planned and let him explain it later.
