After Liu Bei entered Xiaopei, he rarely held meetings to discuss matters. Zhang Fei and Guan Yu saw this and were anxious. They went to Yu Yi and said, "You see my brother is so depressed, what should I do?"
In fact, Yu Yi also observed this phenomenon, but didn't say it. To outsiders, Liu Bei seemed to be happier than when he was in Xuzhou, which seemed to be a sign of lack of ambition, but Yu Yi knew that Liu Bei actually had his own ideas.
“It’s great to enjoy the shade under the big tree!”
Yuyi pointed at the tree outside and smiled.
"What are you talking about? Come and think of a way with us. Go and persuade the elder brother. Lu Bu is attacking our rear. I really can't swallow this breath."
After Zhang Fei finished speaking, he clenched his teeth tightly.
Guan Yu touched his beard at the side. He was always relatively calm, but this time he seemed a little impatient, saying: "Lü Bu was unkind. Now we retreat to Xiaopei. It is not a long-term solution. We must guard against Lu Bu's ambition!" "
"Brother Guan is right!"
Yu Yi affirmed.
After Zhang Fei heard this, he thought that Yu Yi had approved his idea, and he seemed very happy and said: "Since we brothers are united, let's do this. Brother is benevolent and righteous, and we will do the evil." After saying this, he pulled Yu Yi. Yi, preparing to mobilize some troops to attack Xuzhou.
"Third brother, don't be impulsive. Isn't the lesson of losing Xuzhou profound enough? If you hadn't insisted on whipping Cao Bao, Cao Bao would not have gone to Lu Bu to complain, nor would he have become an internal agent. Lu Bu knew the situation in the city, so naturally I don't dare to act rashly. If you attack Xuzhou rashly this time, if you do it again, you will make your elder brother angry to death!" Yu Yi shook off Zhang Fei's hand and tried to dissuade him.
Zhang Fei was a little angry after hearing this, but after all, it was his fault and it was hard to say anything. However, Guan Yu couldn't stand anymore and said: "Fourth brother, don't talk about Zhang Fei's pain. No one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong." .”
Yu Yi nodded and said, "Third brother, think about why Lu Bu wrote a letter asking us to come back. How did he know that we would definitely come back?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while and couldn't figure out the reason, so he said casually: "There must be a conspiracy!"
Yu Yi asked again: "Then why did Yuan Shu send Ji Ling to attack our rear when we were fighting against him?"
Zhang Fei was confused by a series of questions and quickly urged: "It's not like you don't know your third brother, he only knows how to handle guns and sticks. Just tell me what you have to say."
Yu Yi looked at Guan Yu and said: "Second brother, third brother, then I will show my shame!"
"In addition to being capricious, Lu Bu also likes to be cheap. Yuan Shu must have lured him with benefits, so he agreed. But we got the news in advance and left first. Lu Bu returned without success, and he didn't want to make too many enemies, so he went with us Of course, it was Chen Gong's idea to write a letter to ask for peace. He has always known our eldest brother's benevolence and righteousness, and when Lu Bu took Xiaopei, the eldest brother often gave in to Xuzhou. He concluded that his eldest brother would not take revenge, so he asked Lu Bu to recruit us back. "
Yuyi analyzed.
Zhang Fei thought it was reasonable and said: "Then how can we guarantee that he will not attack Xiaopei?"
Yu Yi smiled and explained: "It's about profit. There is no benefit at all from him hitting us. Instead, he will create one more enemy."
Zhang Fei finally figured it out, but he still couldn't swallow it, and said: "If I don't fight now, I will definitely look for opportunities to take revenge in the future."
"After Suwen Sun Jian died in the Battle of Changsha, his son Sun Ce worked under Yuan Shu. He was also dependent on others, but what does it matter? The ancients said that a gentleman's revenge is not too late in ten years. Third brother, you can't be angry for a while. , the eldest brother retreated to Xiaopei, and he also had his own plans. It can be said that he got Xuzhou with a false name and his words were not right. Now that he is out, at least the people's hearts are closed!"
Yuyi continued.
Guan Yu on the side couldn't help but nod after hearing this, thinking that he had underestimated this fourth brother before, but it seemed that he had indeed grown a lot.
After thinking through these key points, Zhang Fei stopped worrying and said: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a drink!"
So the three of them went to the pub, ready to get drunk.
In Shouchun, the banquet had just ended. After Sun Ce returned to the camp, he remembered what happened during the day. Although Yuan Shu was kind to him, his arrogance always made Sun Ce feel inferior. He was very depressed and couldn't sleep. , taking a walk on the road in the moonlight. Thinking of his father Sun Jian, he was considered a hero, but he didn't expect that he would end up like this. It was such a pity that he shed tears and burst into tears.
Suddenly, a man heard the sound and came over. When he saw Sun Ce crying, he laughed and said, "Why is this so? When your father was still alive, he often used me. If you have any troubles now, you can come and ask. Why do you need to cry yourself?"
Sun Ce took a look and found out that the person coming was a man from Danyang Guzhang. His surname was Zhu, his given name was Zhi, and his courtesy name was Junli. He was an official when his father was there. Sun Ce stopped crying and said, "The reason why I cry is because I can't." To carry on my father’s legacy.”
Zhu Zhi said: "Why don't you borrow troops from Yuan Shu and go to Jiangdong in the name of saving Wu Jing to pursue your own great cause, instead of living under others for a long time?"
The two were talking, and suddenly another person came and said, "What you are planning is exactly what I want to say. I have hundreds of elite soldiers under my command, who are willing to dedicate themselves to you and help you." Sun Ce looked at it. , is Yuan Shu's counselor, from Xiyang, Runan. His surname is Lu, his given name is Fan, and his courtesy name is Ziheng.
Sun Ce felt very happy, so he called everyone to his camp, poured tea, and discussed together.
Lu Fan said: "The first step in this matter is the most difficult, because we are afraid that Yuan Shu will not lend us troops."
Sun Ce said: "Now that things have happened, I won't wait for you anymore. My late father invaded Luoyang and found the imperial seal in a dry well. Unfortunately, the news was leaked and Liu Biao blocked the road and killed him. I want to use this to give him a gift." If Yuan Shu takes the pledge, he will definitely agree to lend me troops."
Lu Fan was overjoyed and said: "God is really helping me. Yuan Shu has always wanted to get this thing. If he can be used as collateral, then he will definitely lend troops."
So the three of them discussed it, and the next day, Sun Ce went to Yuan Shu, cried and bowed down, saying: "My father's revenge cannot be avenged. My mother's uncle Wu Jing was persecuted by Liu Yao, the governor of Yangzhou. My mother and family are My family is young and they are all in Qu'a. If this continues, I will definitely be killed. I boldly asked Ming Gong to borrow thousands of elite soldiers to cross the river to save my relatives. If Ming Gong thinks I am lying, I am willing to use my dead father to leave The jade seal passed down from the country as collateral."
When Yuan Shu heard that there was a national jade seal, he couldn't calm down for a while, so he asked Sun Ce to get it. He looked at it in his hand, but he couldn't bear to let go. It wasn't until he saw that Sun Ce was still in front of him that he returned to reality. In fact, he holds the imperial seal, and his soul is already that of the emperor.
