With this gap, Lu Bu had an opportunity. He challenged three people by himself. Naturally, his strength was a little exhausted. He found a corner of the formation. Taking advantage of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's eagerness to be the savior, he quickly dragged Fang Tian's painted halberd backwards. He actually retreated back.
On Liu Bei's side, the fighting was in full swing. How could they let Lu Bu go so easily? So the three of them hurriedly chased after him. Seeing this, the princes also led their troops to attack. They all attacked with great force. Lu Bu led his troops and horses to watch the pass and ran towards the gate. Liu Bei and the three of them Follow closely until you reach Guanxia.
At this time, Yu Yi was standing near Dong Zhuo. He was very happy to see Liu Bei and others chasing Lu Bu. He silently took out a throwing knife from his sleeve, preparing to kill Dong Zhuo on the spot, and then go to join the brothers.
Li Ru and Li Su were standing next to Dong Zhuo. Yu Yi's approach attracted Li Ru's attention, and he quickly shouted: "Yu Yi, why did you take out the flying knife?"
Yu Yi was taken aback, expecting the assassination to fail. Thinking of Cao Cao's excuse, he explained: "Prime Minister, don't panic. I'll see if I can do my flying knife stunt."
So he stood in front of Dong Zhuo, took out his throwing knife and shot towards Liu Bei.
Of course, Yu Yi would not really shoot Liu Bei. The flying knife stopped in front of Liu Bei because the distance was too far and the strength was insufficient. Through flying knives, Liu Bei and others realized Yu Yi's existence and found that he was near a green umbrella. Standing among them was a fat man, who could he be if he wasn't Dong Zhuo.
Liu Bei also saw Yu Yi at this time. It was hard for him to believe that his former brother would turn against Dong Zhuo and take out a throwing knife to shoot him.
Dong Zhuo clapped his hands and secretly sighed at Yu Yi's flying knife, saying, "I didn't expect Mr. Yu Yi to be able to throw a knife. When I saw him today, he was really good, but he still needs to practice."
"Prime Minister, I've given you too many awards. I'm not good at studying and I've made a fool of myself! Let me try again."
Yu Yi said modestly, while preparing to shoot another flying knife.
At this time, Liu Bei and the other three noticed Yu Yi and Dong Zhuo beside them. Zhang Fei shouted: "Look at the fourth brother, he must be the Dong thief. What's the point of chasing Lu Bu? We might as well rescue the fourth brother." , and then kill Dong Zhuo, wouldn’t it be just a matter of eradicating the roots?”
So the three of them changed directions and set off directly in the direction of Dong Zhuo.
When Yu Yi was preparing how to kill Liu Bei, Dong Zhuo suddenly stopped and said: "Sir, don't worry, just let the archers shoot!"
The three people soon arrived at the pass, but Dong Zhuo ordered to release arrows. Arrows rained down for a while, making it impossible to advance at all, so the eight princes had to withdraw their troops.
Liu Bei and the other three had no choice but to go back. Along the way, Liu Bei was always thinking about the situation of his fourth brother Yu Yi. If he throws the knife forward, his life will be his own. Is he really a traitor?
Guan Yu knew Liu Bei's thoughts and quickly persuaded him: "I observed that the fourth brother has his own difficulties. A flying knife cannot explain the problem. Let's take a look before talking."
Entering the account, the eight princes looked at Liu Bei and the others with special eyes, and all wanted to ask for credit from them. At the same time, they sent people to the camp of the alliance leader Yuan Shao to report the victory.
At the gate, Li Ru continued to plan for Dong Zhuo, saying: "General Hua Xiong and I defeated Sun Jian earlier, not because we were strong, but because Sun Jian was deprived of food and grass by his own people. After returning, Sun Jian will definitely have resentment. At this time, the Prime Minister If you send someone to win over, you can bring Sun Jian under your command."
Dong Zhuo followed his advice and sent Li Jue to complete this task.
Yu Yi on the other side sighed: "This Li Ru is indeed full of vicious tricks. If we can't kill him, I'm afraid the plan to destroy Dong will be more difficult and I will be at greater risk."
Although Li Ru had a good relationship with Yu Yi, he was a first-rate counselor after all. Yu Yi used flying knives twice on the battlefield, once to kill Sun Jian and once to kill Liu Bei. Both times he failed, which made him angry. Suspicious, he secretly went to Dong Zhuo to report the situation afterwards. Dong Zhuo believed that there would always be hidden dangers if he allowed Yu Yi to hide the dagger in his sleeve, so he followed Li Ru's suggestion and removed Yu Yi's flying knife with the clear intention of rewarding him. After confiscating it, Yu Yi's situation becomes even more difficult.
After Sun Jian was defeated, he dragged his injured general back to the camp and reported the battle situation to Yuan Shao. Yuan Shao was grateful for Sun Jian's bravery and did not blame him for his mistake this time. On the contrary, he increased his trust, transferred soldiers to Sun Jian to lead, and ordered Sun Jian to lead the soldiers to attack again.
Before leaving, Sun Jian took Cheng Pu, Huang Gai and other generals to Yuan Shu's camp to meet him. Sun Jian hammered the ground with his stick and said, "Dong Zhuo actually has no big grudge against me. Now I am risking my life and fortune. Risking being shot by bows and arrows, I went to fight to the death with him. The first reason was to defeat the bandits for the sake of the prosperity of the country, and the second reason was to gain my reputation as a general. However, General, you listened to the slander and refused to distribute the money at the most critical moment for our army. Food and grass have caused me to fall short of my achievements, can your conscience still be stable?"
Yuan Shu knew that this matter would definitely not end well, so he immediately sent someone to call the person who made the slander, beheaded him, placed his head in front of Sun Jian, and then personally apologized to Sun Jian.
This makes Sun Jian feel a little better. After all, Yuan Shu is Yuan Shao's younger brother, and he can't really do anything.
Someone happened to report to Sun Jian and said: "There is a general in the pass who came to the camp on horseback and wants to meet the general."
Sun Jian said goodbye to Yuan Shu and returned to his camp. He went to see the general who came to seek refuge and inquired about the situation. It turned out to be Dong Zhuo's favorite general Li Jue. Sun Jian was a little surprised and asked, "You are the enemy general. What are you doing here in my camp?"
Li Jue smiled and said: "The person that Prime Minister Dong values is none other than you, the general. I came here specifically to marry you. Prime Minister Dong has a daughter who wants to marry your son."
After hearing this, Sun Jian became furious and reprimanded: "Dong Zhuo is a traitor. He is unethical, poisons people, and subverts the royal family. I always want to destroy his nine tribes to thank the world. How can I marry such a traitor?" Where are the children and the in-laws?"
Li Jue wanted to persuade him again, but Sun Jian stopped him and said, "I won't kill you today. You should go back quickly. If you sacrifice the pass as soon as possible, I can consider taking your life. If you sacrifice it too late, I will smash you to pieces." .”
Sun Jian's attitude shocked Li Jue, and he thought to himself: "What did this Li Ru do? If you leave this kind of thing to me, I almost died in the enemy camp. I must settle the account with him when I go back."
So Li Jue scurried out of the camp and returned to the pass. He met Dong Zhuo and described the situation, saying that Sun Jian was so arrogant and rude and insulted the prime minister. Dong Zhuo was angry after hearing this and said: "Li Ru, what is going on?"
Li Ru felt a little apologetic and said, "This was my mistake, please punish me!"
Yu Yi stepped forward and suggested: "Sun Jian is just a country man. Prime Minister, don't take his words to heart. Li Ru also thinks about the overall situation, so please don't punish him!"
