Chapter 138
Jiang Gan and Liu Ye left Linzi City, while Chao Rui and Lu Bu led troops to Bochang City, where Zhang Yang was stationed.
The two divisions combined with one army, a full 10,000 soldiers and horses.
Zhang Yang warmly entertained Lu Bu and Chao Rui that night.
Early the next morning, Lu Bu and Chao Rui rushed to Guangxian County, where Liu Bei was stationed, with hundreds of relatives.
Knowing that Chao Rui was coming, Liu Bei took Wenwu out of the city to greet him.
Liu Bei instructed Zhang Fei and Guan Yu: "When Chao Rui comes
, treat him well, don't be rude!" "Don't worry, big brother!" Zhang Fei patted his chest and said, "A little hairy child, can't I deal with it?"
Guan Yu also said: "Big brother, don't worry, we won't bully a child!"
Hearing the two younger brothers say this, Liu Bei was also relieved.
Not long after, the messenger arrived.
Liu Bei's three brothers greeted each other in front of the carriage with smiling faces.
"Greetings to Lord Sacrificial Wine!" The
person who came out of the carriage was not Chao Rui, but Lu Bu.
At this moment, Liu Bei's old face was elongated.
Zhang Fei's black face became even darker.
Guan Yu's red face was no longer red.
Lu Bu didn't want Liu Guanzhang either, opened the carriage curtain and said, "Father-in-law, get off the car! My brother Xuande is here to greet you!"
Liu Bei's face turned green when he heard this.
He bent down to call Chao Rui his father-in-law.
Why do you call yourself
a brother? Isn't
this a curse? Isn't he Liu Bei also become Chao Rui's nephew?
Zhang Fei yelled: "Lu gelding, what do you mean by
that?" "What are you yelling at?" Lu Bu pointed at Zhang Fei and said: "I was talking to your eldest brother and brother in Xuzhou before, but now I call him Brother Xuande, is there a problem?" "You, you?" Zhang Fei pointed
at the root of Lu Bu's angry teeth.
Liu Bei hurriedly said: "Yide, don't be rude!"
Chao Rui, who got out of the carriage, also said: "My son, don't bully General Yide
!" Lu Bu said with a smile: "Father-in-law, don't worry, Liu Guanzhang and I are our own brothers, and we can't bully them!"
Zhang Fei rolled up his arms and sleeves on the spot.
Liu Bei's eyes signaled Zhang Fei not to mess around.
Chao Rui hurriedly said: "Uncle Huang has offended, let's go our separate ways
!" Liu Bei smiled: "What Lord Sacrificial Wine said is, let's talk about our own affairs, please enter the city
!" "Thank you!" Chao Rui gestured.
The group entered the city and came to Liu Beixingyuan.
The banquet has already been prepared.
As the crowd took their seats.
Liu Bei picked up the wine bowl.
"The messenger has come from afar, I will toast you two with a
glass!" "Thank you!" Chao Rui raised his glass and drank it all.
Lu Bu didn't serve the wine bowl, and said: "I was hurt by the wine, and now I have banned alcohol!" "
That's good, whatever you want!" Liu Bei said.
"Hmph!" Zhang Fei snorted coldly: "You deserve it!"
Liu Bei and the others pushed the cup with Chao Rui to change the lamp.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors, Liu Bei asked: "Dare to ask Lord Sacrificial Wine, the Prime Minister asked you to come this time, have you solved the problem of our army's
food and grass?" Zhang Fei said: "If you don't give food again, there will be a mutiny, and the soldiers are greedy for duck meat and say that it is a duck neck when they see the head of a mouse!"
"Is it so serious?" Chao Rui was surprised.
"Yes!" Liu Bei nodded and said, "Don't hide it from Lord Wine
, the army has no food!" Guan Yu also said: "If we could supply grain and grass in time before, our army would already be in Linzi City at this moment
!" Chao Rui nodded: "The prime minister knows, it was Zang Ba who embezzled the grain and grass, and now the prime minister has handed over all the grain and grass owed to the imperial uncle
!" "Thank you Prime Minister!" Liu Bei clenched his fists and signaled.
Chao Rui said again: "The prime minister also crowned Yuan Tan as the Qingzhou pastor, General Anton
!" Zhang Fei was anxious: "What does Cao Cao mean? On the one hand, give my eldest brother grain and grass, and on the other
hand, woo Yuan Tan?" Guan Yu also said: "Mr. Crow, is it too much for the prime minister to do this?"
Liu Bei waved his hand: "Don't say too much, you two don't talk much, eavesdrop on Mr. Crow's words
!" Chao Rui arched his hand and signaled: "This is the strategy of the arrogant soldiers!"
Liu Bei said: "The strategy of the arrogant soldiers?"
"That's right!" Chao Rui nodded: "After the spring is warm, Yuan Tan will find an opportunity to attack the imperial uncle, and the imperial uncle does not need to attack Linzi City and break Yuan Tan in a battle
!" "I see!" Liu Bei nodded: "The prime minister has good intentions
!" Guan Yu stroked his beard and said: "If it can be like this, it is indeed the best policy!" Chao Rui said: "
There will be no more problems with the grain and grass, this General Lu can be a guarantee, if something goes wrong, General Yide can kill Lu Bu to vent his anger!
" "Really?" Zhang Fei was excited when he heard this.
"What the prime minister said in person!" Chao Rui said: "If Lu Buke deducts grain and grass, you kill him, and the prime minister will give you the title of official and knight
!" "Hahaha!" Zhang Fei laughed: "That's right, I Zhang Fei remembered, dare to deduct my grain and grass again, and kill him Lu Bu is a straight thief!"
Lu Bu looked at Zhang Fei, and his anger rushed upward, and finally swallowed it in his stomach.
Liu Bei clasped his hands into fists and signaled: "There is an endorsement from Lord Sacrificial Wine and General Lu, Liu Bei will definitely fight against the water and take Linzi City directly!"
"Please!" Liu Bei raised the wine bowl and drank with Chao Rui.
Early the next morning, Chao Rui and Lu Bu returned to Bochang City.
The grain and grass were delivered to Guangxian a few days later.
Zhang Fei said: "This bit of grain and grass can't last for two months
, this Chao Rui is obviously making a bad deal!" "Hugh is talking nonsense!" Liu Bei said: "Chao Rui is a military priest and has a good status in Cao Ying, how can he trick us?"
Zhang Fei said again: "Little cub, it doesn't look like a good thing at first glance
!" Guan Yu immediately hugged his fists and said: "Big brother, our army has found out the news, this Yuan Tan is preparing for war, and it is estimated that he will come to fight our army in half a month!"
Okay!" Liu Bei said: "I'm afraid that if he doesn't go out of the city, he won't be able to go home if he is driven out
!" "Big brother is wise!" Guan Yu clasped his fists with both hands.
Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.
Yuan Tan really led 50,000 soldiers and horses out of Linzi City and went straight to Guangxian.
Liu Bei ordered Guan Yu to go out of the county seat and camp to block Yuan Tan.
The two armies went down one after another.
Subsequently, Yuan Tan's general Zang Hong led his troops to Guan Yu's camp to call for battle.
Guan Yu rode out of the village and fought with Zanghong.
The two fought fiercely for only thirty rounds, and Guan Yu beheaded Zang Hong.
Subsequently, the whole army attacked and killed Zanghong's subordinates.
The news reached Yuan Tan's camp.
Yuan Tan was restless.
"Zang Hong is extremely brave, why did he lose at the hands
of Guan Yu?" Guo Tu shook his head: "Lord, after all, he is still underestimated by the enemy
!" "Yes!" Xin Ping also said: "This Guan Yu can kill Yan Liang and Wen Chou, Zang Hong is too reckless!" Yuan
Tan asked again: "What now?"
Guo Tu said: "Our army can't hold out, and fight a war of attrition with Liu Bei!" "That's
right!" Xin Ping nodded: " Then send someone to Bochang City to see Chao Rui, and let him cut off Liu Bei's grain and grass, so that our army will definitely win
!" Yuan Tan asked: "Who wants to go to Bochang City to see Chao Rui?" "
Lord, I am willing!" Guo Tu stepped forward and took the initiative to ask Ying.
"Okay!" Yuan Tan said: "I will lead my troops to stick here, you go and return quickly
!" "Obey!" Guo Tu clasped his fists with both hands.
