454 Two tigers competing for food 2

After hearing this, Liu Bei thought, I'm thinking about it twice. If I have an idea, what else can I ask you to do? Are you cheating? No matter who wins with Lu Bu, it has no effect on you, and I am related to life and death.

Besides, Lu Bu, who was stationed in Xiaopei, heard that the court sent envoys to promulgate the imperial decree and promoted Liu Bei to his official position. When he was poor and destitute, no one in the world was willing to take it in, and only Liu Bei reluctantly took it in. Although he had no good intentions, he still gave him a small piece of land to live. Now that Liu Bei was promoted, he wanted to go to congratulate him in person, but he was worried that Zhang Fei would cause trouble for him, so he was hesitant and had to invite his adviser Chen Gong to discuss.

Chen Gong thought for a moment and said, "General, you must go to congratulate Liu Bei for promotion. After all, we live in his territory now. But you must also act carefully. I guess Cao Cao didn't have any good intentions. How could he give Liu Bei such a high official position for no reason? This is not in common sense, and unlike Cao Cao's personality, there must be problems in the middle. I can't think of what the specific problem is, but I must be careful in everything, swallow my anger and not act irritably."

After hearing this, Lu Bu nodded and also listened to Chen Gong's words. The next day, Lu Bu took his subordinates Hao Meng, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Zangba to Xuzhou City. After entering the Xuzhou Prefecture, when he saw Liu Bei, Lu Bu immediately said: "I heard that the Lord was commended by the court and the emperor's appointment, I would like to congratulate Lord Liu on his success!" After that, he asked his subordinates to send a gift.

After hearing this, Liu Bei smiled and felt very happy. He hurriedly returned the gift to Lu Bu, respectfully invited Lu Bu into the hall and asked his servants to bring tea. When the two were about to speak, Zhang Fei ran towards the hall with his sword in his hand, and rushed straight to Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu saw Zhang Fei's move, he knew that he was coming to him. Although he didn't understand why he wanted to kill him, he was not very scared. After all, he brought several generals, and he had followed him for many years, and had experienced countless battlefield killings, all of whom climbed out of the dead. His bravery is also a strong man in the world. Now even if he is surrounded by thousands of troops, he has the ability to break through the siege.

When Liu Bei saw Zhang Fei's appearance, he immediately stood up to stop him. This was a situation that Liu Bei didn't want to see. Didn't Chen Deng and others analyze the situation clearly last night? Killing Lu Bu was Cao Cao's conspiracy. Why were these third brothers still so impulsive and had no view of the overall situation at all. Killing Lu Bu now is not good for him.

Lu Bu said: "Yide, why do you want to kill me? I asked myself that I have never offended you and have no deep hatred with you, but you have repeatedly asked me for trouble. What does this mean?"

After hearing this, Zhang Fei thought about it and said casually: "You despicable and shameless villain, Cao Cao said that you are a ungrateful person and a sinner who is a disaster to the court. I asked my elder brother to kill you to eliminate harm to the court and save you from harming the area in the future."

After hearing this, Liu Bei was stunned. He couldn't tell the hatred in his heart. Why did the third brother do this? Didn't he discuss it last night? Why did he say everything? Can he say this? What would Lu Bu think if he heard it? Isn't this a counterproductive effect? ​​Is it even more like Cao Cao's egg?

Liu Bei immediately drank Zhang Fei and invited Lu Bu into the inner room personally. He had to tell Zhong Bu the truthfully the cause and the consequences, and took out the secret letter from Cao Cao to show Lu Bu. There was no way to do this. Who made his third brother so impulsive and shook everything out. If he didn't tell the truth, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

After reading the secret letter, Lu Bu pretended to be pitiful and said, "Sir, this is Cao Zhe who is apart from us, and he wants us to be disagreeable, or even kill each other, kill people with a knife, and eliminate our threat to him."

After hearing this, Liu Bei smiled and said, "General Lu, don't worry. I also know that this is Cao Cao's trick. He wants to use my hand to harm the general, but this matter is an unjust thing, and I will never do such a thing even if I die."

After hearing this, Lu Bu thanked Liu Bei repeatedly. Liu Bei had no choice but to do so. Things had to do so. They could only hold a banquet to invite Lu Bu and others to eat and drink to eliminate the estrangement between the two. During the meal, Lu Bu's subordinates Hao Meng, Song Xian, Hou Cheng, and Zangba were highly vigilant and paid close attention to every move around, for fear of another accident. After drinking and eating, Lu Bu also brought his subordinates back to Xiaopei.

After Lu Bu left, Liu Bei said to Zhang Fei: "Third brother, how could you act recklessly like this? Didn't you discuss it last night? This is Cao Cao's treacherous plan, and we can't listen. Once Lu Bu is killed, Xuzhou will be attacked by Cao Cao's army at any time. What's wrong with having Lu Bu help us resist the invasion of Cao's army in Xiaopei?"

After hearing this, Guan Yu said, "Brother, what you said is right, but my third brother and I discussed it. Although we knew that it was Cao Cao's plan, we still felt that we were taking this opportunity to kill Lu Bu. Lu Bu was a man without trust and being untrustworthy. Staying there was a disaster."

After hearing this, Liu Bei shook his head and said, "Second brother, third brother, didn't Chen Deng say last night? That was Cao Cao's two tigers competing for food. Cao Cao was afraid that we and Lu Bu would join forces to attack him, so he set up this conspiracy and tricks to make both of us kill each other, damage each other's troops, and weaken our strength. Cao Cao was sitting next to him to reap the benefits of the fisherman. How could we do such a thing? This is not good for the safety of our Xuzhou."

After hearing this, Zhang Fei said, "Brother, I care about this. I only know that Lu Bu is despicable and shameless, has a wolfish ambition and has no credibility. Taking advantage of killing him now, it can avoid any disaster in the future. As for Cao Cao who wants to lead a large army to attack Xuzhou, we don't have to be afraid of him. We now have a large number of elite soldiers, with enough food and supplies. He dares to invade Xuzhou. I will let him go without returning and kill him without leaving any armor."

Liu Bei sighed and said, "Third brother, we cannot harm Lu Bu at this time, which is not good for us. Besides, this kind of thing is not done by a real man, and it will make people laugh at the world. People in the world will say that we three brothers harm those who come to like each other, and who will come to surrender to us in the future? Besides, outsiders will also say that we three brothers are stupid, and that such a strategy cannot be solved, etc."

Besides, after Lu Bu and his party returned to Xiaopei, they told Chen Gong about the situation. Chen Gong thought for a while and said, "General, this is indeed Cao Cao's two tigers competing for food. Although it was not successful, it also caused the estrangement caused by you and Liu Bei in the hearts, and it also achieved a role of disagreement. In the future, the general will have to be more careful about Liu Bei. After this incident, the three brothers Liu Bei will always be on guard against you."

After hearing this, Lu Bu said, "Public Stage, no, Liu Bei and I both knew that this was Cao Cao's trick. If we both said it, what else would be the estrangement?"

Chen Gong smiled and said, "General, think about it carefully. Did Liu Bei really not harm you? But you still have value in using it. He is using you to guard the border for him and prevent Cao Cao from invading. If it is a general, will Liu Bei take in the general? Zhang Fei's reflection is that it is proof that all the three brothers of Bei must have studied how to deal with the general. And this matter will leave a shadow in your hearts and Liu Bei."
