General Yang offered a suggestion to Yuan Shu again: "Lord, how can you not hate Lu Bu if Liu Bei was taken away by Lu Bu? We can send a secret envoy to Xiaopei to lobby Liu Bei to join us and return Xuzhou to him after the matter is completed. Liu Bei will definitely agree happily, and then let him pretend to be defeated and flee to Xuzhou when General Ji Ling arrives. Lu Bu will definitely not doubt and take Liu Bei in. Then we will cooperate with Liu Bei inside and outside, and Xuzhou is within our reach!"

Yuan Shu frowned and said, "Sir, although this plan is very good, but if I return Xuzhou to Liu Bei, Isn't I going to work in vain?"

General Yang smiled and said, "Lord, we promised to return Xuzhou to Liu Bei, but we didn't agree not to take Xuzhou!"

Yuan Shu understood what General Yang meant, and couldn't help laughing, nodding and praised, "Smart plan! Smart plan! Do it like this!" Yuan Shu immediately called a confidant and asked him to cross the river to Xiaopei immediately, and said to Liu Bei in this way. After the envoy left, he wrote another letter and called the commemorative officer, who ordered the commemorative officer to deliver it to Ji Ling immediately.

When Liu Bei learned that Yuan Shu was going to attack Xiaopei again, he quickly organized troops to prepare for the guards, and at the same time sent Mi Zhu to Lu Bu in Xuzhou for help.

Just when Liu Bei was preparing to fight against Yuan Shu's army, he didn't expect that Yuan Shu's secret envoy would come. Liu Bei only hoped that it would be possible to avoid this disaster, so he immediately received the secret envoy in the hall of the official office. The secret envoy came up and said, "Duke Xuande, my lord sent troops this time at Lu Bu's invitation! Lu Bu hopes to use the hand of my lord to eliminate Xuande Gong!"

Liu Bei was shocked and said, "I didn't offend Lu Bu, why did he destroy me?"

Zhang Fei couldn't help but curse, "Those three-family slaves took our Xuzhou, and were afraid that we would take it back, so they would get rid of us! If he fell into my hands, he would definitely stab him 180 transparent holes to relieve his hatred!"

Guan Yu frowned and said, "Third brother is right!"

Liu Bei said to the envoy: "I think I, Liu Bei, have never offended Mr. Yuan. Why did Mr. Yuan listen to Lu Bu's provocation to harm me? What are the benefits of killing me, Liu Bei?"

The envoy said, "Of course my lord will not be provoked by Lu Bu. I am here to convey the meaning of my lord. If Xuande Gong is willing, our two families can work together to eliminate Lu Bu. After the matter is completed, my lord will only return the land to the south of Xuzhou, including Xuzhou, and will return it to Xuande Gong. I wonder what Xuande Gong's wishes?"

Liu Bei and the other two were surprised. Liu Bei hurriedly asked, "Do you have this intention?"

He came to the envoy and said, "My lord is the descendant of the four generations and three kings, and he will naturally speak up."

Liu Bei was still there, and Zhang Fei was already shouting impatiently: "Brother, it's a rare opportunity! If we don't take this opportunity to get rid of that guy Lu Bu, we three brothers will always be ridden by him!" Guan Yu also said: "Yuan Shu is the descendant of the fourth generation and third generation. I think we will not lose our words. Our situation is worrying, so why not take a risk!"

When Liu Bei heard the two brothers say this, he felt that he had no choice at this moment. He couldn't help but nod and said, "Okay. Since Mr. Yuan has his own destiny, how dare I not obey the order."

The person who came to the fun was over and said, "Duke Xuande made the wisest choice! With Duke Xuande as his inner support, we can break Xuzhou with his hand! My lord's intention was to ask Duke Xuande to wait for Ji Ling's army to arrive, so he pretended to be defeated and left Xiaopei and went straight to Xuzhou. Then he opened the city gate in the middle of the night, and Ji Ling immediately led the army into the city. Even if he might not be able to capture Lu Bu, he could definitely expel him and he was done!" Liu Bei was quite hesitant when he heard that he wanted him to leave Xiaopei. Zhang Fei saw Liu Bei's thoughts and said anxiously, "Brother, staying in Xiaopei is ultimately a death, so it is better to fight, it is better to stay in Xiaopei City than to be cowardly!"

When Liu Bei heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved. He clasped his heart and said to Lai Jun, "Please repay Mr. Yuan, I, Liu Bei, will act according to his wishes." Lai Jun was overjoyed and said to Lai Jun, "Duke Xuande will not regret today's decision! Except for Lu Bu, our two families divided Xuzhou, which was very happy! Let's report back to my lord and say goodbye!" Liu Bei also clasped his fists and Lai Jun left in a hurry.

Liu Bei looked at Lai Jun and said with some concern: "Yun Chang, Yide, is it right or wrong for us to do this?"

Zhang Fei said angrily: "We don't have to be moral to that guy Lu Bu! Brother, you are so kind. If I heard me kicking Lu Bu out, there would be no today's thing!"

Liu Bei sighed. Guan Yu scolded, "Don't tell me about the past!" Zhang Fei looked indignant.

In Xuzhou City, Ailang is actively preparing for war. According to the scout report, Ji Ling's army is less than fifty miles away from Xiao Pei. Ailang couldn't help but smile and said, "This Yuan Shu is really interesting. After suffering a loss once, he didn't learn his lesson. He actually sent Ji Ling to besiege Xiao Pei. Aren't he afraid that I will cut off Ji Ling's retreat again?"

Jia Xu and Chen Gong looked at each other and smiled. Jia Xu said, "Yuan Shu only thought of the short hand of the person, and thought that the lord had accepted their generous gifts. This plan was successful, but he did not expect that the soldiers would never get tired of deceit!" Ailang laughed and praised, "Well said it! I like the four words "soldiers never get tired of deceit" the most!"

Chen Gong said: "It is no problem to annihilate Ji Ling's 100,000 troops, but the revenge that Yuan Shu followed is not easy to deal with. Apart from Ji Ling's 100,000 troops, he still has 400,000 troops. This battle will not allow any mistakes, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Ai Lang looked very optimistic and smiled and said, "Just like Yuan Shu, it's just that to give him a million troops! Don't be afraid! Victory must be ours!" When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel confident.

At about this, Cao Cao, who had already won a great victory in the fight against Runan, was resting suddenly received a report that Liu Bei's secret envoy Sun Qian was coming.

Cao Cao smiled and said to Guo Jia beside him: "Fengxiao, guess what is Sun Qian coming here?"

Guo Jia smiled and said, "My lord is taking the exam." Cao Cao smiled without saying a word.

Guo Jia said: "This matter is simple. Liu Bei was occupied by Lu Bu. He was unwilling to accept that he must have sent Sun Qian to seek help from his lord. Runan has just been wiped out, so we can free up our hands to seize Xuzhou." Cao Cao smiled, looking mysterious and unfathomable.

Cao Cao asked someone to bring Sun Qian up. A moment later, a civil servant wearing a Confucian shirt came to Cao Cao. It was Sun Qian, who was entrusted with a secret mission by Liu Bei. When Sun Qian saw Cao Cao, he immediately bowed: "Secretary Sun Qian greeted the Prime Minister!"

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Sun Qian doesn't have to be too polite. Is Xuande good now?"
