Chapter 154
A few days later, Liu Bei set off from Xinye City.
Take Zhao Yun and other five hundred guards with him, and go all the way to Xiangyang City.
When passing by a forest outside Xiangyang City, a group of black-clothed people suddenly appeared.
The number is far more than Liu Bei's soldiers.
Zhao Yun fought hard, but could not repel the enemy.
"Lord,
go, you can't stay here for a long time!" Liu Bei shook his head: "Zilong, I can't go!" Zhao Yun shouted: "If the lord leaves, I can find a chance to get out, if the lord doesn't leave, I will die here!" "
Okay, I'll
wait for you to come back in Xinye City!" Liu Bei took the opportunity to escape on horseback and came all the way to Tanxi.
Unexpectedly, he met Cai Mao's pursuers again.
Liu Bei reined in his horse and said in a loud voice: "How did the general do this?"
"Hahaha!" Cai Mao laughed loudly: "You took my Xinye City, how can you keep you today? Kill me!"
Jingzhou soldiers immediately launched a charge against Liu Bei.
Liu Bei knew that he was not an opponent, so he drove his horse directly into Tanxi.
Soon, however, the horses did not move.
"Lord Lu, Lord Lu!"
Luma suddenly jumped over Tanxi.
Cai Mao looked stupid.
Tanxi is so deep and wide that ordinary war horses can't cross it at all.
Seeing that Liu Bei had gone away, he had to collect his troops and leave.
And Liu Bei took advantage of the night to come all the way to a village.
Staying in the house of an old man.
The old man's name is Sima Wei, he is very kind, and he doesn't ask Liu Bei's identity.
After nightfall, a man also went to the old man's house.
Liu Bei learned through the conversation between the two that this man's name was Xu Shu, and he was a person who had never met Huai Cai.
Xu Shu was reluctant to assist Liu Biao, but felt that Liu Biao was inferior to Liu Bei.
Liu Bei simply didn't pretend to be asleep, and stepped forward and knelt in front of the two.
"In Xia Xinye Liu Bei, I overheard the conversation between the two gentlemen, and learned that the two gentlemen were both highly talented, so I dared to ask the two to go out of the mountain to help!"
Sima Wei and Xu Shu were stunned.
Then, Sima smiled: "Didn't you Xu Shu say that Liu Bei was good just now, and now that Liu Bei is in front of you, why don't you speak?"
Xu Shu heard this, and hurriedly helped Liu Bei up.
That night, the three of them drank together.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Liu Bei and Xu Shu chatted very speculatively.
After nightfall, Liu Bei slept with Xu Shu.
On the second day, Xu Shu and Liu Bei returned to Xinye City and appointed Xu Shu as a lieutenant general.
But Xu Shu declined, saying that there was a person who was more suitable for this position than himself.
Liu Bei asked who it was?
Xu Shu said that this person was Zhuge Liang.
"Kong Mingzhi's talent is a hundred times better than mine!" Liu
Bei was extremely excited: "Sir, please invite Zhuge Liang to my Xinye City!" Xu
Shu shook his head: "If you want to invite this person, you have to go in person, he compares himself to Zhong Leyi, and he will not go out of the mountain easily
!" Zhang Fei shouted: "I don't care who he is, just tie him up!" "Yide, don't
be reckless!" Liu Bei said.
Zhang Fei smiled: "Big brother, you accompany the military advisor to work in Xinye City for a while, Zilong and I will go to invite Zhuge Liang, if he doesn't come, it's not too late for you to go in person
!" "It's okay!" Liu Bei nodded and agreed to this matter.
Early the next morning, Zhang Fei took Zhao Yun to Wollongong.
Ask a child about Zhuge Liang.
The child said that Zhuge Liang was studying at home.
Zhang Fei then let the child lead the way, all the way to Zhuge Liang's thatched house.
"Who are the two of you?" Zhuge Liang put down the book and asked the two.
Zhang Fei said: "I am Zhang Yide, on the order of my eldest brother, please ask Mr
. to enter Xinye to assist!" Zhao Yun said: "My lord is the current imperial uncle Liu Bei, recommended by Xu Shu, please join Xinye City to assist!"
Zhuge Liang shook his head: "I am only a shallow learner, I'm afraid I can't assist Uncle Liu Huang
!" "There is a lot of nonsense!" Zhang Fei stepped forward and lifted Zhuge Liang up.
"Yide, don't be reckless!" Zhao Yun hurriedly stopped.
Zhang Fei asked Zhuge Liang: "Did I beat you, your nose was blue and your face was swollen, and I took you to Xinye City, or did you go by yourself?" "If you beat
me, I won't go!" Zhuge Liang was not afraid of Zhang Fei.
When Zhang Fei heard this, he directly carried Zhuge Liang on his back, and threw him into the carriage when he got out of the house.
Then the two of them drove the carriage back to Shinno Castle.
Along the way, he scolded Zhang Fei non-stop.
Unfortunately, all to no avail.
That night, after entering Shinno Castle.
Liu Bei took Xu Shu to greet Zhuge Liang together.
Zhuge Liang didn't say a word.
Liu Bei simply knelt down and pleaded guilty to Zhuge Liang.
This made Zhuge Liang moved.
Liu Bei took Zhuge Liang and Xu Shu to the house to drink together.
At night, the three of them slept together.
Three days later, Liu Bei appointed Zhuge Liang as the lieutenant general of the left army division and Xu Shu as the lieutenant general of the right army division.
"In the future, I, Liu Bei, will rely on the two gentlemen!" Liu Bei bowed.
Xu Shu's words: "If the lord wants to become a big thing, he should welcome back Yunchang first!" Zhuge
Liang said: "After welcoming back Guan Yu, take advantage of Liu Biao's critical illness to take Jingzhou to stand up, and then recover Yizhou and take Nanzhong, you can get one-third of the world..."
"Dare to ask the two military advisors, how can I welcome the
second brother Guan Yu back?" Zhuge Liang sighed: "Cao Cao will not easily let Guan Yu back, he can only use the excuse that the lord is critically ill and invite Guan Yu to come to visit!" Xu Shu shook his head: "However, this plan can't be hidden from Guan Yu, the lord can let Guan Yu tell the truth again, and with Cao Cao's love for talent, he will definitely release Guan Yu back!"
Liu Bei was puzzled: "My second brother told Cao Cao the truth, and Cao Cao will let him go?"
"That's right!" Xu Shu nodded: "If Guan Yu's term expires Cao Cao, Cao Cao will not let him go, but tell him the truth, Cao Cao will let him go
!" "Hmm!" Zhuge Liang nodded and agreed.
Liu Bei wrote a letter overnight and sent someone to Xu Du.
A few days later, Guan Yu received the letter.
"How is my eldest brother's condition?" Guan Yu asked Jian Yong.
Jian Yong smiled: "The lord is fine, but please Yun Chang use this letter to see Cao Cao, if Cao Cao asks, tell me the truth, I will definitely let you go!"
"Really?" Guan Yu was puzzled.
Jian Yong said: "This is the strategy of the two military advisors, please give it a try!" "
Okay!" Guan Yu clenched his fists and immediately went out of the house to see Cao Cao.
Cao Cao ordered someone to invite Guan Yu to the study.
Chao Rui watched tea for Guan Yu and Cao Cao.
Cao Cao said: "It's rare for Yun Chang to take the initiative to come to the door, it's something compared to something, right?" "
My eldest brother is seriously ill and wants me to visit Xinye City!" Guan Yu handed the letter to Cao Cao.
Cao Cao smiled after reading it, and handed the letter to Chao Rui.
"Fake!" Chao Rui said.
Cao Cao said, "Yun Chang, do you hear me?"
"I heard it!" Guan Yu nodded.
Cao Cao asked, "Then what else do you have to say?"
Guan Yu said: "Even if the eldest brother is fine, I also want Xinye to defect to him!"
Cao Cao's face suddenly sank.
"Aren't you afraid that I will blame you?"
Guan Yu said: "I miss my eldest brother day and night, if I can't reunite with my eldest brother, it is better to die!"
Cao Cao didn't speak, and his heart ached suddenly.
Chao Rui hurriedly said: "General Yun Chang retreats first, and Prime Minister Rong will consider it!" "
Guan Mou retires!" Guan Yu clenched his fists and withdrew from the study.
