Chapter 222 Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes!
Chang'an!
"Lord, the news came. In June, Liu Bei personally led 30,000 troops to support Xiaopei and was ambushed by Cao Cao's elite tiger and leopard cavalry. The 30,000 troops were thrown away and their armor was damaged more than half."
"Ji Ling, a general under Yuan Shu, led 30,000 troops to travel slowly."
After the information was sent back, Lu Bu couldn't help but laugh and shook the bamboo slips with anger, "Okay, you Yuan Highway, you won't work after eating the benefits."
"Everyone tell me, what does this Yuan Gaolu want to do?"
"Master."
Jia Xu frowned and sighed and bowed, "Yuan Shu won't watch Cao Cao annex Xuzhou."
When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately smiled anxiously and asked, "Do you mean Yuan Shu wants to swallow Xuzhou with a 30,000 army?"
"No, Yuan Shu might want to ask Liu Bei for benefits."
After hearing this, Lu Bu was so angry that he was so angry that Yuan Shu was so scoundrel.
"Where is Luoyang? How many descendants of Liu Yan?"
He was too late to get over Yuan Shu, and he had no choice but to ask about this matter.
"Lord, when Luoyang was in chaos, Liu Yan's descendants died and were in war."
Hearing this, Lu Bu immediately clapped his hands angrily and snorted coldly: "Liu Zhang is really lucky."
"Where is Luoyang? Li Jue and Guo Si?"
There was no good news for a while, and Lu Bu suddenly rubbed his brow helplessly.
Jia Xu bowed and said quietly: "Lord, Li Jue, and Guo Si join hands to control the court, but Dong Zhuo has never controlled the storm of Luoyang. Just Li Jue and Guo Si will be in trouble sooner or later."
"Follow Luoyang."
promise!
The sound of Xiaopei City in Xuzhou was changed to the banner of Cao.
In just over a month, as Liu Bei's main army was defeated by the tiger and leopard cavalry under Cao Cao, he advanced rapidly and led more than ten cities in a row until the army was killed outside Pengcheng in Sishui.
Where was Liu Bei in Pengcheng still so excited when he first controlled Xuzhou. He looked at Cao Cao's army outside the city in panic and sighed constantly.
"Yunchang, my fault. If I hadn't been careless, how could I have implicated the people of Xuzhou?"
Because of Liu Bei's defeat, Guan Yu in Xiaopei City was eager to save people, and led his troops to rescue his elder brother, resulting in Xiaopei being destroyed.
Later, he fought and retreated all the way until he was defeated by Pengcheng, and then he barely relied on the strong city to resist Cao Cao's military attack.
A small half of Xuzhou was lost, and Liu Bei was deeply saddened. Guan Yu on one side comforted his elder brother helplessly, but the aggrievance on his face could not be concealed.
This battle was defeated so frustratingly.
"Yunchang, I am an alliance with Yuan Shu to resist Cao Cao's army together."
"Brother!" Guan Yu sighed and clasped his fists heavily at his elder brother. He was also full of helplessness at the moment.
Liu Bei in Pengcheng met with an envoy from Yuan Shu again.
"I wonder if Liu Envoy Jun agrees?"
Facing the arrogant attitude of Yuan Shu envoy, Liu Bei bowed with a humble smile, "I am willing to make a good relationship between Qin and Jin with the general."
Liu Bei, who was smiling, was actually full of frustration. He not only had to pay a price of 100,000 stones of food and grass, but also wanted to marry a woman from Yuan's family.
After the envoy left, Jian Yong bowed to Liu Bei with a smile on his face.
"Lord, this is a good thing. Marrying a woman from Yuan as your wife will make everyone in the world know clearly how good the lord and the Yuan family Qin and Jin were. It was unreasonable for Cao Cao to attack Xuzhou."
"Now Cao Cao has captured many cities in Xuzhou. If the lord marry the daughter of Yuan, Yuan Shao would not dare to help Cao Cao openly. Instead, the lord just needs to send envoys with great fanfare to invite Yuan Shao to force Cao Cao to retreat with great force."
"Similarly, Yuan Shu in Yangzhou has more than 300,000 soldiers. Cao Cao dares to attack Xuzhou again. Aren't he afraid that Yuan Shu's army will fall?"
Jian Yong talked gently, and Liu Bei suddenly realized and smiled instantly, "I am like a fish in water, haha."
Seeing Liu Bei laughing so excitedly, Jian Yong hesitated a little and finally said slowly: "Lord, we are the messengers from Lu Bu's army?"
Liu Bei was silent about this. They were still opponents in the battle of Hulao Pass, and he almost died under the opponent's halberd.
However, the emperor's imperial edict and the empress dowager who came from Lu Bu was completely helpful to him.
"Sir, leave, Rong Wu think about it carefully."
After Jian Yong retreated, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu, who were hiding behind the screen, walked out slowly.
"Brother, Yuan Shu is so cunning. Since he wants to become a relative of his elder brother, he still needs 100,000 stones of food and grass. He is too greedy."
Zhang Fei walked out angrily and muttered, while Guan Yu stroked his long beard with one hand and squinted his eyes and said calmly: "Brother, I'm afraid that's the only thing that's right now."
At least they are not embarrassed about their reputation, so they just treat 100,000 stones of grain and grass as a betrothal gift.
Facing his two brothers, Liu Bei also gave up his concealment and sighed: "This is nothing. When we marry the Yuan woman, we will send out 100,000 stones of food and grass as a betrothal gift, and Yuan Shu dared not break his promise."
"It's Lu Bu!"
When talking about Lu Bu, Liu Bei frowned and hesitated: "The envoy Lu Bu has not left for a long time, and he has even gone in and out of the Mi family and Cao family."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei couldn't help but be happy, waved his hand and laughed: "Brother is too worried, then Lu Bu is also a lustful person."
Liu Bei was still a little confused. He has been busy with war recently and he really doesn't know.
Zhang Fei laughed loudly and said sarcastically: "The envoy of Lu Bu is just asking for concubines for Lu Bu, Miss Mi and Cao Bao's daughter."
Zhang Fei cannot tolerate ridicule. Almost all families in this world do this, and eggs will never be placed in a basket.
After hearing this, Liu Bei breathed a sigh of relief. He was just a woman, and as for the Mi family and Cao family, he was not worried at all.
Lu Bu and him were separated by thousands of miles, and the aristocratic families were in troubled times, and it was almost the norm to place bets from multiple parties.
However, after hearing the news, Liu Bei suddenly smiled, "This time Lu Bu has a good relationship with me, so Bei cannot be stingy and not expressing it."
"The war in Xuzhou is tense at the moment, and it is thousands of miles apart. There are many inconveniences. Xiaopei Gan sent him to Lu Bu and get along with him."
After hearing this, Zhang Fei said nothing, Guan Yu immediately opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Brother, isn't Gan's brother going to take a concubine?"
After hearing this, Liu Bei's eyes were filled with tears. He stepped forward and held Zhang Fei and Guan Yu's arms, and said in tears: "I have two brothers, so why should I cherish my wives and concubines?"
"Brothers are like hands and feet, and women are like clothes. The clothes are torn and can be sewn. If the hands and feet are broken, can they be sustained?"
Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were moved by these words, and Liu Bei laughed heroically, "Then Lu Bu is so powerful that he will be in Guanzhong. At that time, Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu will not be afraid that Cao Cao will not withdraw his troops."
Liu Bei's heroic laughter echoed with the excitement of Zhang Fei and Guan Yu.
