After Cao Cao strongly moved Emperor Xian of Han to Xudu, he felt deeply that Liu Bei and Lu Bu jointly stationed troops in Xuzhou, and the threat was very great. He wanted to eliminate Liu Bei and Lu Bu and summoned all the generals to discuss.

Xu Chuhu walked out with great might and bowed to his command: The Prime Minister only needs to give 50,000 elite soldiers, and the last general can take down Xuzhou and kill Lu Bu and Liu Bei's head.

Cao Cao naturally would not take such crazy words seriously, but they deserve encouragement.

Xun Yu shook his head and said, "General Xu Chu is brave, but he does not know how to use plans!" Now Xu Du is newly established, and Your Majesty and civil and military officials are just at peace, so it is not appropriate to use troops right now. Yu has a plan that can make Lu Bu and Liu Bei fight against each other, while the Prime Minister can sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight, and wait for both tigers to be injured and easily destroyed.

Cao Cao was happy and asked: What is the strategy?

Xun Yu smiled and said: Although Liu Bei was in charge of Xuzhou, he did not receive the official imperial edict of the court. The prime minister could help Liu Bei ask for the imperial edict, and actually give him the post of Xuzhou as the governor, and a secret letter was written to teach Liu Bei to kill Lu Bu. If the matter was successful, Liu Bei would no longer have the invincible warriors like Lu Bu as a supporter, and Xuzhou could also do so. If the matter failed, Lu Bu would definitely kill Liu Bei, and the two tigers would fight!

Cao Cao laughed: OK, OK, this plan is great!

Then he "please" the emperor's edict and sent an envoy to Xuzhou to summon Liu Bei.

Liu Bei suddenly heard an angel coming in the "Court of the Imperial Court" and immediately went out of the city to welcome the envoy and received the edict. Liu Bei was very happy. From then on, he became the legitimate governor of Xuzhou and held a banquet to entertain the envoy.

During the banquet, the envoy suddenly said to Liu Bei: "The king and the lord received this order, but it was actually the Prime Minister who recommended it hard in front of the emperor."

Liu Bei sneered in his heart. Cao Cao was the prime minister and Dong Zhuo was the same as Dong Zhuo at the time. The emperor was just a puppet of Cao Cao. Any recommendations were jokes, but it was just Cao Cao's win over.

However, Liu Bei did not show any signs of it at all. Instead, he looked like he suddenly realized and thanked him repeatedly.

Only then did the messenger take out the secret letter and hand it over to Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei looked at it, his eyes flashed with slight light, without expressing his original opinion, and only said: This matter is still subject to some discussion.

The envoy was not in a hurry. After the banquet ended, he rested in the inn and waited patiently.

Liu Bei discussed with Mi Zhu, Zhang Fei, Guan Hai, Sun Qian and others overnight.

Zhang Fei was the most anxious. He had already wanted to kill Lu Bu, so he shouted: Lu Bu is a righteous man, so he killed him!

Liu Bei shook his head and said: No. Lu Bu came to join me because he was poor. I have taken him in. If he wants to kill him again now, wouldn’t he be untrustful and righteous?

Zhang Fei said anxiously: Brother, it’s hard to be a good person, so it’s better to kill Lu Bu!

Liu Bei shook his head firmly and refused to obey. In fact, Liu Bei had been thinking that one day he would surrender Lu Bu, the world's number one strong general. He was confident that he had the opportunity to "touch" Lu Bu, just like Zhang Fei back then.

The next day, when Lu Bu heard that Liu Bei had been officially granted the title of Xuzhou Governor, he came to congratulate him, and to bring the relationship between the two sides closer. After all, he is now dependent on Liu Bei, and Lu Bu was not moved by Liu Bei's ability to contain him at the time.

After Lu Bu entered the hall, he bowed to Liu Bei and said with a smile: "I heard that the Duke was officially ordered by the court, but Bute comes to congratulate me!"

Liu Bei thanked him and asked Lu Bu to go and rest. He would hold a banquet to entertain Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was killed! At this moment, something unexpected happened to Liu Bei. Zhang Fei led hundreds of people in with weapons to kill Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was shocked and his face turned blue. He thought that Liu Bei really wanted to kill him. If he was young, with his temper, he would have drawn his sword to kill Liu Bei first and then fought with Zhang Fei.

However, after experiencing so many things, Lu Bu is much more enduring and mature than before. He suppressed his impulse and asked first: Yide Xuande, why do you want to kill me?

Zhang Fei shouted loudly: Cao Cao said that you are a righteous person, so I will teach my brother to kill you!

Lu Bu was so angry that he couldn't help but attack, fighting to the death with Liu Bei and Zhang Fei, but Liu Bei kept calling Zhang Fei.

Third brother, don't do anything, don't put away your weapons! Liu Bei's forehead was also a little cold sweat, Zhang Fei was brave, and he brought hundreds of people. In addition, there were a large number of guards in the mansion, so he might be able to keep Lu Bu even if he wanted to do it, but Lu Bu was the most powerful general in the world, and he was only a few meters away from Lu Bu.

What's more, he wanted to "touch" Lu Bu one day and let Lu Bu serve him sincerely, how could Zhang Fei do whatever he wants now?

After drinking, Liu Bei pulled Lu Bu into the back hall with apologetic expression, informed Cao Cao in detail about the cause of the killing, and also looked at Cao Cao's secret letter with Lu Bu.

After reading it, Lu Bu turned his eyes and angrily scolded: This is the thief Cao wants to make you and me disagree!

Liu Bei also said sincerely: What Brother Lu said is exactly. How could I, Liu Bei, be deceived by Cao Cao, and I even swear not to do such unjust things. Brother Lu should not blame me, Liu Bei, just believe me.

No matter what Lu Bu was thinking at this moment, this place was Liu Bei's mansion after all, and with Zhang Fei and a large number of military guards there, he could not take the initiative to turn against Liu Bei. Besides, he was really not a fool, and he could still see Cao Cao's plan to alienate him.

Lu Bu thanked him again and again before he seemed to be extremely sincere: Since it was Cao Cao's treacherous plan, how could he blame Xuande Gong?

Liu Bei then invited Lu Bu to drink to make the two of them have just had a grudge.

The two seemed to have had a feast for a banquet, without any rift. Lu Bu did not leave Xuzhou City until the evening, but after leaving the city, Lu Bu turned his head and stared at Xuzhou City with a gloomy face and snorted coldly.

Lu Bu had no objection to Liu Bei, and he was indeed a little grateful to Liu Bei. But Zhang Fei was Liu Bei's sworn brother. Not only did he and Zhang Fei say "Three Family Slaves" in Hulao Pass back then, which made him still laughed at by the people of the world and distrust the princes. And today, Zhang Fei blatantly wanted to kill him, and he felt that if this continued, he would die sooner or later because of Zhang Fei.

If he has the chance, he should find another way out!

Inside Xuzhou City.

Zhang Fei endured his anger and drank a lot of stuffy wine just now. He was a little angry. As soon as Lu Bu left, he couldn't help asking Liu Bei: Why didn't brother kill Lu Bu?

Of course, Liu Bei would not say that he would attack Lu Bu, and he was even more afraid that Lu Bu would kill him. He only said: This is because Cao Cao was afraid that I and Lu Bu would unite to attack him, so he used this plan to disagree and make both of us annex each other. He would like to make profits from it. How could I be ordered by him to make a big mistake?

Zhang Fei didn't want to hear this. From the moment he angrily scolded Lu Bu's "three-submit slave", we can tell how bad his impression of Lu Bu was in his heart, how he didn't believe in Lu Bu's character. He always felt that sooner or later, Lu Bu would backfire his elder brother Liu Bei like he would backfire Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo.
