This was the meaning of controlling the Imperial Court!
Guo Jia displayed it to the fullest.
Not a single soldier.
He would let the dukes fight until their heads bled and reap benefits from it.
Not long after.
The imperial court's document arrived in Xuzhou, naming Liu Bei as the General of the East and the Marquis of Yi City.
This action was blatantly telling Liu Bei that if he attacked Yuan Shu, the Imperial Court would stand on his side!
If you encounter any trouble, remember to ask for help from your big brother!
At this moment.
Lu Bu made his move!
Taking advantage of the battle between Liu Bei's army and Yuan Shu's army, Lu Bu advanced from Pengcheng along the Sishui River and attacked all the way to Xiapi!
The general who stayed behind to guard Xiapi was Liu Bei's third brother, Zhang Fei.
He was brave!
However, this person had a problem. He liked to drink.
This was fine.
He liked to whip his subordinates when he was drunk.
Cao Bao suffered a great loss and had several conflicts with Zhang Fei.
When Tao Qian was still around, Cao Bao was already the commander of the Danyang Soldiers!
He was also from the Cao Clan, one of the four great clans of Xu Prefecture.
Why should he be bullied by an outsider?
In addition, Cao Bao and Lu Bu were in-laws, so the two of them quickly hooked up.
Cao Bao offered wine, claiming to reconcile with Zhang Fei.
Zhang Fei was overjoyed and got drunk.
Cao Bao took the opportunity to open the city gate and welcome Lu Bu's army into the city.
By the time Zhang Fei reacted, the city gate had already been lost!
He led the army to resist for a while, then abandoned the city and fled.
Lu Bu had captured Liu Bei's wife and seized countless resources, becoming the big winner.
The news of Zhang Fei losing Xiapi quickly reached the front lines.
How could Liu Bei care about fighting Yuan Shu?
Immediately lead the army back to support.
Before they could return to Xiapi, the morale of the army had already collapsed.
Because their entire family was in Xiapi City.
Left with no choice, Liu Bei packed up his remaining troops and prepared to attack Guangling Prefecture as a base.
Unfortunately, they met Yuan Shujun on the road.
Liu Bei's army was already at the end of its rope.
After Yuan Shu's fierce attack, Liu Bei was defeated and retreated to Haixi County.
At this moment, Zhang Fei came over and was scolded by Liu Bei.
After all, he was his sworn brother, so Liu Bei did not punish him too much.
However, the army did not have any rations and Liu Bei's army was in dire straits.
Left with no other choice, Liu Bei sent people to surrender to Lu Bu.
It was also at this time that the wealthy Xu Prefecture merchant, Mi Zhu, stepped forward and provided a large amount of grain to Liu Bei.
And two thousand servants to serve as soldiers.
It solved Liu Bei's urgent need.
Hearing that Liu Bei's wife had been captured by Lu Bu, Mi Zhu waved his hand and married his sister to Liu Bei.
She was also known as Madam Mo in history.
Since ancient times, there were many people who added flowers to the flowers, but few people who gave charcoal in the snow.
At the beginning of Shu Han, Mi Zhu's status was above Zhuge Liang's. It was not without reason.
Mi Zhu was also one of the few men that Zhuge Liang could not afford to offend.
In the beginning, Lu Bu was unwilling to accept Liu Bei's surrender and wanted to force Liu Bei to his death.
But at this moment.
Yuan Shu's showy operation came.
The promised 200,000 bushels of grain, he suddenly didn't want to give it to her.
Lu Bu was furious. He felt like he had been played.
Thus, they used carriages, servants, and servants to bring Liu Bei back politely.
At the same time, he returned Liu Bei's wife and the relatives of his subordinates.
On the edge of the Sishui River, they played music to welcome Liu Bei!
Chen Gong was stunned.
It wasn't easy to drive Liu Bei to a desperate situation, and now they had to rely on him?
"Liu Bei is a person who is difficult to raise. Lord, please kill him!”Chen Gong persuaded earnestly.
Unfortunately, Lu Bu did not listen and even treated this sentence as a joke, sharing it with Liu Bei.
Liu Bei was terrified and asked to return to Xiaopei.
As for Xuzhou, he didn't want it anymore.
Lu Bu agreed.
After Liu Bei returned to Xiao Pei, he did not idle around. With the wealth of the Mi Family, he recruited tens of thousands of soldiers.
He was ready to make a comeback at any time!
Lu Bu claimed to be the herdsman of Xuzhou and prepared to fight Yuan Shu.
Xuchang's troops were mobilized at this time.
Yuan Shu panicked and quickly made peace with Lu Bu, allowing his son to marry Lu Bu's daughter.
Lu Bu agreed.
Seeing how easy it was to talk to Lu Bu, Yuan Shu immediately had an idea.
Why not destroy Liu Bei and make Lu Bu lose his support?
Thus, he sent General Ji Ling to lead 30,000 troops to attack Xiao Pei.
How could Liu Bei's defeated army resist?
He quickly sent someone to ask Lu Bu for help.
Chen Gong stood up and said,"Since my lord is not willing to kill Liu Bei, why not borrow Yuan Shu's hand?"”
Unfortunately, Lu Bu still refused.
"Yuan Shu has taken Xiaopei and is connected to Mount Tai in the north. He will surround half of Xuzhou.”
When Ji Ling saw that Lu Bu had sent out his troops, she didn't dare to continue attacking.
"Liu Xuande, that's my brother. How can you treat him like this?”Lu Bu said bitterly.
Ji Ling was furious but didn't dare to say anything.
Seeing that Ji Ling was not convinced, Lu Bu displayed the Halberd Shooting Technique.
Everyone cried out in shock.
Frightened, Ji Ling decided to retreat.
Liu Bei was saved.
However, the news of Liu Bei training his troops in Xiaopei quickly leaked out.
This fellow had just failed and had already recruited tens of thousands of soldiers.
In the end, Lu Bu was still afraid!
Liu Bei was like a cockroach that could not be killed.
Lu Bu had just scared Ji Ling away, and then led his army to surround Xiao Pei.
It was capricious and annoying.
Liu Bei had no choice but to surrender to Cao Cao's army and ask for help.
Guo Jia's scheming finally played a huge role!
