Cao Cao said: "I am preparing to attack Lu Bu. I am not afraid of Yuan Shao's constraints, but I am afraid that Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu will take this opportunity to attack me from behind!"
Xun You said: "The Prime Minister just fought with them, and the two of them did not dare to act rashly. Lu Bu is brave and good at fighting, and he is connected with Yuan Shu and is running rampant in Huainan. He is a difficult character to deal with."
Guo Jia added, "Now we can take advantage of the opportunity to start the rebellion. Everyone has not completely surrendered, so we can quickly attack him."
So Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Lu Qian, and Li Dian to lead an army of 50,000 people forward, and he led the central army to set off later, while Jian Yong followed him.
Gao Shun was the first to receive the news that Cao Cao had sent troops, and immediately went to report to Lu Bu. Lu Bu ordered Hou Cheng, Hao Meng, and Cao Xing to lead more than 200 cavalry to meet Gao Shun, and asked them to set up camp thirty miles away from Xiaopei. The stronghold was ready to fight Cao's army, and then he drove the Chinese army over to prepare for the battle.
The consecutive days of siege made Liu Bei and everyone feel tired. Yu Yi and Liu Bei were thinking about countermeasures. They found that Gao Shun's army had retreated far away. Liu Bei said: "It seems that Cao Cao has sent troops. We, Xiaopei, can be saved!" After that, he only left Sun Qian was sent to guard the city, while Mi Zhu and Mi Fang were guarding their home. They took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yu Yi out of the city, concentrated their forces, and went to the stronghold separately to prepare for a response with Cao's army.
Xiahou Dun, the former army, led his troops forward and happened to encounter Gao Shun's troops, so he made a strong move. Gao Shun stepped forward to fight. The two fought for fifty rounds. Gao Shun was a little tired and felt that he could not resist, so he went to After retreating, Xiahou Dun rode his horse to catch up, while Gao Shun retreated towards the center of the formation.
Xiahou Dun was having a good fight, so why was he willing to let the opponent go? After Cao Xing found out about it in the formation, he secretly shot an arrow. Unexpectedly, the arrow hit Xiahou Dun's left eye. He shouted and pulled out the arrow on the spot, but it was too short. He fiercely pulled out his eyeballs, and shouted in front of everyone's surprised eyes: "This is the essence and blood of your parents, how can you throw it away casually?" After speaking, he swallowed the eyeballs in one gulp, then drew his gun and continued to pursue. Cao Xing Still in surprise, Xiahou Dun, who had come over earlier, shot him in the face and died on the spot.
The sergeants on both sides were very frightened when they saw this situation. After Xiahou Dun killed Cao Xing, he knew that Gao Shun could not catch up, so he immediately returned. He did not know how Gao Shun got around to the rear and actually came from the rear to kill him. Cao's army was defeated, and Xiahou Yuan helped his brothers leave.
Lu Qian and Li Dian retreated the defeated army to Jibei Xiazhai. After Gao Shun's victory, they immediately led their troops back to attack Liu Bei. Just as Lu Bu's central army arrived, they joined forces with him and divided into three groups with Zhang Liao and Gao Shun's troops. , attacking Liu Bei's three camps.
Gao Shun and Zhang Liao attacked Guan Yu, and Lu Bu attacked Zhang Fei himself. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei went to fight, but there was a big gap in the troops and horses between the two sides. Liu Bei brought troops to meet him, but he still could not withstand the opponent's attack. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's two groups The army was quickly defeated, so Liu Bei returned to Xiaopei with the remaining cavalry. However, Lu Bu was chasing too close. Liu Bei quickly called the guards on the city wall to put down the drawbridge. Lu Bu followed. He wanted to shoot an arrow from the city, but was afraid of accidentally shooting Liu Bei. As a result, he hesitated and Lu Bu led his troops to take advantage of the situation and kill them. , there were not many troops guarding the gate, and they couldn't resist at all, so they all fled in all directions.
Lu Bu led his troops into the city. Liu Bei saw that the situation was very critical. It was too late to get home, so he had to abandon his family.
Yu Yi couldn't understand this kind of behavior. He wanted to go back to save Liu Bei's family, but was stopped by the other party. He had no choice but to leave together and walk out of the west gate.
Lu Bu rushed to Liu Bei's home, and Mi Zhu came out to greet him and said: "I heard that a true man does not kill other people's wives. Now the person who competes with the general for the world is Cao Cao. My lord often thinks of the kindness of shooting the halberd at the gate. He really can't bear to betray him." General, this is a last resort, and I hope the general will take pity on him."
Lu Bu said: "Liu Bei and I are old friends, how could I kill his wife and children?" So he asked Mi Zhu to take Liu Bei's family to Xuzhou for resettlement, and he himself led the troops to Yanzhou, Shandong, and ordered Gao Gao Shun and Zhang Liao guarded Xiaopei. At this time, Sun Qian had already escaped from the city. Guan Yu and Zhang Fei didn't know their whereabouts, so they collected some troops and temporarily stationed in the mountains.
Before Yu Yi had time to analyze the situation, he followed Liu Bei and fled around. He felt very embarrassed and could not help but feel some dissatisfaction in his heart. He had already told Liu Bei to choose a base of his own and then develop, but the other party refused to listen, but this The idea grew stronger in his mind.
Liu Bei may have noticed Yu Yi, who had been silent all this time, and said, "Guan Yu and Zhang Fei don't know where they are now. My wife and children were taken away by Lu Bu, and Xiao Pei was also lost. Where should we go?"
As he was talking, a man who was also on the run suddenly came from behind. It was Sun Qian. Yu Yi said with a smile: "Since we decided to join Cao Cao before, we will do the same now. Let's go find him."
After asking Sun Qian some information, he prepared to go to Xudu via a small road. On the second day, he had finished eating all the food on his body, so he had to go to a nearby village first. This time, Yu Yi also felt the taste of hunger. , it’s really uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Liu Bei's reputation was very good. When the people heard that Liu Bei was coming, they all took the initiative to donate their food. They were afraid that the donation would be delayed. There was a hunter who admired Liu Bei very much and insisted that he stay at his home temporarily. Liu Bei could not refuse. , agreed, and the group set off.
When he arrived at the young man's home, Liu Bei paid homage and asked his name. It turned out that the young man was called Liu An. He took Liu Bei and others to the hall of his home and prepared to eat. Unexpectedly, the meal was very rich and contained meat, and everyone was not polite. , they all started to eat.
But the meat tasted strange. Yu Yi said, "This meat has a sour smell. I wonder what kind of meat it is?"
Liu Andao: "It's the wolf meat I got from hunting in the mountains."
Liu Bei had no doubts and persuaded Yu Yi to continue eating, but Yu Yi couldn't eat it at all because the meat tasted wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
I stayed up all night, thinking about the origin of the meat. The next day, we went to the backyard to get the horse. Suddenly we saw a woman who had been stripped naked and most of the flesh on her arm had been cut off. The scene was simply too horrible to watch. , Liu Bei asked Liu An for questioning, and found out that what he ate last night was either wolf meat or this woman's meat, and this woman was his wife.
Yu Yi was furious and cursed: "You are so cruel to your wife, what can't you do? It's so unconscionable. I must kill you today!"
Liu Bei's view on this matter was completely different from that of Yu Yi. He did not feel bad about the woman's death. On the contrary, he was very grateful to the other party for his behavior and even shed tears. When he saw Yu Yi taking action, he quickly stopped him. Yu Yi originally planned to shoot Liu An on the spot, but unfortunately Liu Bei was standing there, so he had no choice but to retreat, but the anger in his heart was not gone.
