After Lu Bu heard this, he immediately became angry and said: "Yuan Shu'er, you don't keep your word. See if I don't send troops to attack!"
Chen Gong advised: "Now is not the time. Yuan Shu has occupied Shouchun and has many soldiers and food. We cannot underestimate it. It is better to let Liu Bei gather troops and become our wings, and then send them as the vanguard. When the time comes, we will take Yuan Shu first, and then Attack his brother Yuan Shao, then Zongheng's opportunity is not far away!"
After hearing this, Lu Bu thought it made sense, so he sent someone to deliver a letter to Liu Bei. The letter contained some shameless words, but the core was to apologize to Liu Bei and hope that he could return to Pei and the two would become partners again.
Liu Bei's military situation was unfavorable at this time, and he was attacking Guangling with his troops. Yu Yi and others were discussing in the tent, saying: "Now we are surrounded by enemies from both sides and have no source of food. It is really difficult. The soldiers are all hungry now. What should I do if I don’t have the will to fight?”
At this time, Yuan Shu also sent people to rob the stronghold, but everything was under Yu Yi's control. This raid did not take any advantage, but the combat effectiveness of Liu Bei's sergeants had been weakened as their fighting spirit was weakened, and they were on the verge of collapse. On the edge, everyone fell into deep thought.
Suddenly Lu Bu's envoy arrived, understood the situation, and handed the letter to Liu Bei. Liu Bei was very happy.
Being attacked from behind by Lu Bu, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu naturally felt dissatisfied and said, "Lü Bu has no loyalty. I don't care if I don't believe this letter!"
Liu Bei smiled and said: "He entertained me with good intentions, why should I be confused!"
Yu Yi also stood up at this time. Everyone thought that he was going to oppose Liu Bei again. Unexpectedly, this time he fully affirmed Liu Bei's ideas and analyzed: "Lü Bu is certainly a capricious person, but as we are now The situation is like a lonely ghost wandering around. If it continues, the capital we have finally accumulated in Xuzhou will be wiped out, so stationing troops at this time to preserve our strength is a good retreat."
After listening to Yu Yi's analysis, Guan Yu felt that it made sense, but he still had doubts in his heart. He asked, "If Lu Bu lets us station troops in the open and then sends troops to attack us in the dark, how should we defend ourselves?"
Yu Yi patted Guan Yu on the shoulder and said: "Second brother is indeed thoughtful, but don't forget that with Lu Bu's wisdom, he will definitely not write such a letter. This must be what his adviser Chen Gong meant. I I think Lu Bu has made a lot of enemies right now, so wooing us back to Pei also means helping each other."
Zhang Fei was still brooding about the surprise attack on Xuzhou and had a lot of hatred for Lu Bu. Yu Yi smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lu Bu just stabbed us in the back. Now he needs us again and is afraid of our doubts. He must Something will be done to eliminate it.”
Liu Bei stole a look of thanks to Yuyi, and then ordered his troops to return to Xuzhou.
Chen Deng walked up to Yu Yi on the way, and the two started chatting. Yu Yi thanked him: "Thanks to sir for the advice, otherwise I might have really left my eldest brother at that time, which would have been too inappropriate!"
Chen Deng paid his respects and said: "This is because the master is talented and intelligent. With you by my master's side, there is no need to worry about failing to achieve great achievements."
Yu Yi smiled and said: "A true hero, why should he be short of breath? Only by starting well and ending well can he be invincible! Forbearance can protect one's life and achieve success. Forbearance is great wisdom and courage, and it is also a great blessing! Forbearance is thick, forbearance is black, forbearance is forbearing, forbearance is formidable. He is strong, endures unbearable things, does not follow his temperament, and achieves things that are difficult for ordinary people. Looking at it now, my eldest brother possesses these qualities." The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
When Lu Bu heard that Liu Bei was really leading an army towards Xuzhou, he was afraid that Liu Bei might have doubts, so he immediately sent someone to send his family members away. After Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Mi saw Liu Bei, they told Liu Bei everything about how Lu Bu sent soldiers to guard the door, prohibiting others from entering, and sent people to ensure the quality of life, so that there was no loss.
Liu Bei confidently said to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei: "Have you seen it? I know that Lu Bu will not murder my family members."
So he prepared to go into the city to thank Lu Bu. After Zhang Fei heard about it, he felt that the hatred between the two was too deep, so he was unwilling to go, so he took his two sisters-in-law back to Pei. Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Yu Yi to Xuzhou together.
After entering the Xuzhou government office, Liu Bei thanked Lu Bu for taking care of his family. Yu Yi stood aside and found it funny. Morally, Xuzhou belonged to Liu Bei, but after being robbed, he still came to thank him. If he hadn't been extremely patient, I'm afraid there is no way for people to do this.
Lu Bu bowed down, with a look of guilt on his face, and said, "Actually, I didn't come to plot against you when you attacked Yuan Shu. It was actually your brother Zhang Fei who drank wine and killed people in the city, causing chaos in the city. I There was no other way, I was afraid of other situations happening in the city, so I had no choice but to guard it myself."
Liu Bei smiled and said: "Actually, I have been humble enough to give Xuzhou to you for a long time."
Lu Bu pretended to return Xuzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei refused, saying: "Let me go to Pei. Xuzhou is too big and only a general can take charge of it."
Yu Yi glanced at Chen Gong next to Lu Bu. The two looked at each other. Yu Yi thought to himself, Chen Gong, who is still a eloquent Lu Bu, don't let Chen Gong stay for too long. You can't control Lu Bu's capriciousness. Sooner or later, you will Destroyed by this.
Chen Gong looked back at Yu Yi and nodded silently. Naturally, he didn't know what Yu Yi was thinking.
After returning to Pei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were still emotionally unstable and aggrieved. Liu Bei advised: "Although I am bowing down in Pei now, I am waiting for the best opportunity and cannot fight against fate."
In order to further appease Liu Bei, Lu Bu also sent some supplies, so the two families temporarily stabilized their relationship.
Yuan Shu was in a good mood after knowing that Liu Bei had retreated, so he held a large banquet in Shouchun. At this time, someone reported that Sun Ce had conquered Lu Kang, the governor of Lujiang, and had returned from a victorious battle.
Yuan Shu summoned Sun Ce, who bowed down in the hall, expressed his condolences, and then asked him to attend the banquet, where they would drink wine and eat meat.
Sun Ce's father Sun Jian refused to listen to dissuasion and insisted on attacking Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and was eventually killed. Sun Ce retreated to the south of the Yangtze River after his father's death, where Corporal Li Xian gathered a group of troops. Later, because of Tao Qian and Sun Ce's mother, Sun Ce The relationship between his uncle and the prefect of Jingyang, Wu Jing, was not good, so Sun Ce moved his mother and family to Qu'a, and he went to join Yuan Shu himself.
Yuan Shu saw his extraordinary bravery and liked him very much. He often sighed: "If my son could be like you, Sun Ce, I would have no regrets if I died now!"
Sun Ce was appointed as the captain of Huaiyi School, and he led his troops to attack Jingxian Commander Zu Lang and won. Yuan Shu felt that Sun Ce was very brave, so he sent him to attack Lu Kang, and achieved another beautiful victory.
