The imperial envoy continued to recite: "I heard that a treacherous minister Lu Bu was temporarily stationed in Xiaopei in Xuzhou. This thief once helped Dong Zhuo go against the world and his crimes were unforgivable. I have always heard that Liu Bei is loyal and ordered Liu Bei to capture Lu Bu immediately, regardless of his life or death. I am here."

Liu Bei bowed and said, "Long live Your Majesty!" Then he stood up, bowed and stretched out his hands to take the imperial edict from the imperial envoy. After sending the imperial envoy away, the three brothers returned to the hall.

Zhang Fei said excitedly: "This imperial edict is coming at the right time. Lu Bu is coming tomorrow, so we will take this opportunity to capture Lu Bu! The three-family slaves who stayed in Xiaopei and refused to leave, so I had already been furious!"

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Third brother should not be reckless. This is probably Cao Cao's trick!"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "The two brothers are just afraid of offending Yuan Shao. Now Cao Cao takes the initiative to show his goodwill. We have joined forces with Cao Cao to offend Yuan Shao. That's not a big deal. We will always get rid of Lu Bu who is leaning on Xiaopei. Humph, that guy recruits soldiers in Xiaopei, and now he has 40,000 soldiers. If he says he doesn't want to plot against our Xuzhou, he won't believe it!"

Liu Bei and Guan Yu both showed unexpected expressions, and Liu Bei smiled and said, "Third brother's words make some sense!" Zhang Feixi said, "Since my brother agrees, I will go down and prepare. When Lu Bu comes tomorrow, he will definitely take his life! Then the three of us will send troops to Xiao Pei and completely eliminate Lu Bu's men!"

Liu Bei hesitated and said, "It is better to make a long-term plan!"

Zhang Fei shouted angrily: "This is not good for brother. When you encounter something, you have to make a long-term plan. When your brother has made a plan, there will be no chance!"

Liu Bei's heart moved. Zhang Fei's words really touched him. He frowned and nodded, "The third brother said it well. If you keep suffering from chaos, you will do it like this! Then Lu Bu is a hero, and he can't be considered a subordinate of Duke Yuan. If you get rid of him, Duke Yuan would not be too angry. Then I will write a letter to apologize to Yuan Shao!" Zhang Fei was overjoyed and shouted, "I will prepare now. I can't get out of Lu Bu anyway tomorrow!" As he said that, he ran down happily. It's strange that Lu Bu and Zhang Fei had dealt with under the Hulao Pass. It can be said that he had no grievances in the past and had no grudges in recent days, but Zhang Fei just didn't like Lu Bu and wanted to take action when he saw Lu Bu. Now he heard that he wanted to get rid of Lu Bu, he was happy like something.

Guan Yu said: "Although what my third brother said is not without reason, Cao Cao is extremely treacherous. I'm afraid he is just using us and will eventually make the idea of ​​Xuzhou."

Liu Bei frowned and nodded, saying, "The second brother happened to be worried about his brother. This matter must be cautious. If someone doesn't do it well and offends Yuan Shao, and Cao Cao will come to make a move again, it will be a waste of money!"

On that day, Ailang only brought a few entourages to Xuzhou City. Liu Bei led two brothers to the city gate to greet him in person, with a very friendly attitude. Liu Bei led Ailang to the lobby of the mansion and sat down. Then Liu Bei called out fine wine and food and toasted Ailang frequently.

Zhang Fei, who was sitting in the second seat of the guest attendant, saw that his brother treated Lu Bu very kindly, and he was unhappy and kept drinking, one bowl after another. Guan Yu, who was sitting in the first seat of the guest attendant, stroked his long beard and listened carefully to the two of them.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei asked, "I wonder if Fengxian lives in Xiaopei?"

Ailang smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everything is fine, thank you Xuande!"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but say, "Lu Bu, Xiao Pei is our place, don't stay there and refuse to leave!" Liu Bei was shocked and quickly scolded, "Third brother, don't talk nonsense!" Zhang Fei snorted, and poured a bowl of wine in one mouthful. A pair of ring-eyed eyes stared at Ailang as if they had a grudge against each other.

Liu Bei quickly clasped his fists to Ailang and apologized: "Fengxian should not be accustomed to it. My brother is such an annoying temper! Fengxian is my distinguished guest, so he can stay in Xiaopei for as long as he wants!"

Ailang ignored Zhang Fei and smiled and clasped his fists at Liu Bei and said, "Thank you for Xuande's deep affection and friendship!"

Liu Bei asked, "Fengxian, I heard that Yuan Gong ordered Fengxian to station Xiaopei as a surprise soldier against Cao Cao. I wonder when Yuan Gong would use troops against Cao Cao?"

Ailang took a sip of wine, put down his glass, and said, "It shouldn't take long. When Gongsun Zan is eliminated, Yuan Gong will naturally lead his army south to deal with Cao Cao."

Liu Bei said oh. Zhang Fei couldn't help but snorted and said angrily, "If Yuan Shao didn't go south in his life, you would have been relying on Xiaopei for the rest of your life, right?"

Ailang suppressed his anger and did not speak. Liu Bei quickly scolded Zhang Fei and said, "My third brother must have drunk too much wine. Let me go down quickly, so as not to be embarrassed here!" Zhang Fei hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, I just don't talk, brother, don't drive me away!" As he said that, he buried his head in drinking, looking like he was no longer meddling in other people's business.

At this moment, Mi Fang rushed in quickly until Liu Bei was next to him, and whispered. Liu Bei's face changed slightly, and he nodded. Mi Fang held his fists and bowed to Liu Bei and ran down. Ailang was very dissatisfied and thought: You were whispering in front of me. What does it mean?

Liu Bei looked at Ailang with a smile on his face, and picked up the wine bottle with both hands, as if he was about to toast Ailang. Unexpectedly, his hand slid and the wine glass in his hand fell to the table with a clang. Liu Bei's face immediately changed. The flying eyes lit up, and suddenly he jumped up like a tiger and leopard. He pulled out his sword from his waist and slashed at Ailang's forehead with his feet. He shouted: "Lu Bu, come on your life!"

Ailang was shocked and rolled backwards. He heard a loud noise. Zhang Fei's long sword actually cut off Ailang's wine case. At this time, dozens of armored soldiers holding swords and axes poured in, surrounding Ailang.

Ailang was shocked and angry, and cursed in his heart: Is this big-eared thief killing me?

Seeing that Zhang Fei failed to hit the attack, he roared and rushed towards Ailang again. Ailang had already climbed up, pulled out his sword, and his heart turned like lightning to think about how to get out.

At this moment, Liu Bei suddenly ran over and blocked Zhang Fei and shouted sternly: "Third brother, you are too presumptuous!" Zhang Fei stopped, looked at Liu Bei with confusion, and said: "What? This is not your brother, you..." Liu Bei glared and shouted: "Shut up!" Zhang Fei closed his mouth, but felt extremely depressed.

Liu Bei drank another group of soldiers and quickly clasped his fists to Ailang and apologized, "Don't blame Fengxian! I didn't expect that my third brother would do such a ridiculous thing. I, I am so ashamed!"

Ai Lang was shocked and saw Liu Bei's words, and felt that what Zhang Fei did just now should have nothing to do with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei shouted at Zhang Fei: "Yide, why don't you apologize to Fengxian!"
