The next morning,
Cao Ying's generals followed the plan...
Outside Xiaopei City, the official road was dusty: a man and a horse, carrying a letter, galloped straight into the city!
When Liu Bei saw the letter, he couldn't help but feel happy:
"Second brother, third brother, come and have a look!
Cao Sikong has sent Xiahou Dun's army of 100,000 to Xuzhou!
Now the army is approaching, and they will be able to join us in a few days.
Lu Bu is about to die!"
After saying that, he quickly handed the letter to the two of them to circulate.
After seeing it, Guan Yu couldn't help but narrow his eyes, stroked his beard and smiled:
"Haha, that's great!
With the help of Cao Mengde's army, we can help big brother recapture Xuzhou in no time!"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei glared at him: the sound of a gong, his laughter was so loud that it shook the sky!
"Hahaha! God is really helping us!
Xuzhou will soon be back in our hands again!
It feels so good, so good! Hahaha……"
Seeing this, Liu Bei immediately stopped hissing:
"Hush! Third brother, keep your voice down!
The messenger sent by Xiahou Dun is still waiting for a reply in the next room!
Don't be too loud, or you'll ruin our plans.……"
After hearing this, Zhang Fei immediately chuckled and responded in a low voice:
"Don't worry bro, I got it!"
"That Xuzhou was lost from me.
This time, I will definitely find a way to help Big Brother get it back!"
"Afterwards, I will kill that fellow Lu Bu.
If Cao Mengde is sensible and willing to let my brother continue to be the lord of Xuzhou? That would be the best!
If he is not sensible? I will stab him to death and personally help my brother to get it back!"
Seeing this, Liu Bei hurriedly scolded again in a low voice:
"Third brother, be careful with your words!
Lu Bu alone is enough to give us a headache!
Cao Mengde is a man of great talent and strategy, and he is not comparable to Lu Bu! Besides, his army is large and powerful, how can you deal with it alone?
Everything needs to be planned carefully, slowly, and wait for the times to change.……"
Guan Yu nodded silently, stroked his long beard and said indifferently:
"Big brother is absolutely right!
Third brother, this time, don't act on impulse again!"
"In my opinion, it is best for us to sit back and watch the fight between the tigers!
Wait for Cao Mengde and Lu Bu to fight each other to a defeat.
Then, we can take advantage of the situation and have a chance to recapture Xuzhou!"
Liu Bei agreed with this and said calmly:
"Yunchang is right!
For now, let me reply to Xiahou Dun's letter.
After sending the messenger away, we can discuss it slowly.……"
After hearing this, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei immediately agreed.
…………
After half a cup of tea, the messenger from Caoying swaggered out of the city with Liu Bei's reply.
On the huge official road, such a strange face suddenly appeared, and he had a special mission entrusted by Cao Jian. He was determined to die and did not hide his whereabouts. Naturally, he was soon discovered by someone with ulterior motives!
Then, a scout was in a hurry to report the abnormal situation to Gao Shun, who was in charge of guarding Xiapi!
Gao Shun was shocked after hearing it:
"What? Is this true?
Quick! Send someone to intercept him!
I'll be there soon and interrogate him in person.……"
After that, he immediately led a team of people and quickly captured the assassin!
Then,"unexpectedly"!
From his body, he found a secret letter of collusion between Cao and Liu!
This amazing discovery immediately made Gao Shun furious.
Without thinking, he opened the secret letter on the spot.
Looking closely, he saw Liu Bei's handwritten reply as follows:
【I have received orders to kill Lu Bu, so I must work hard day and night.
But we have few soldiers and generals, so we dare not act rashly!
Cao Sikong secretly asked Master Xiahou to send his vanguard troops here, so we should respond! We must be well-trained and ready to help at any time to kill Lu Bu together!
After reading this, Gao Shun sneered in his heart:
"Humph! What a good Liu Bei!
I knew that this guy would not be willing to live in Xiaopei!
Now, he is indeed plotting something bad.……"
After that, he shouted coldly:
"Tell the truth! How many troops did Cao Jun bring this time?
Who is the commander of the vanguard and who is the military advisor?
If you are willing to tell the truth, I can spare your life!
Otherwise, I will make you wish you were dead!"
Hearing this, the messenger was instantly trembling with fear and said:
"Sir, please spare my life, spare my life!!"
"Reply... Reply Sir!
Our army has... a total of 100,000 troops, and we are less than 200 miles away.
The vanguard troops are led by the two Xiahou generals.
I... I am your military advisor.……"
This half-truth, half-falsehood was naturally explained by Cao Jian long ago: except for the number of soldiers and the distance from here, everything else was true!
This half-truth instantly made Gao Shun believe it nine points.
After calculating in his mind.
The chief general under Lu Bu couldn't help but feel happy:
"Fortunately, we found it early today!
It takes at least several days to reach a distance of 200 miles!
This way, we have enough time to make arrangements in advance and take advantage of the enemy's strategy!"
"But Cao Mengde was always treacherous and good at using troops.
He claimed to have an army of 100,000. Even if it was not that many, I am afraid it must be at least tens of thousands.
It was far beyond the control of Xiapi’s troops.……"
After a brief thought, he instantly came up with a plan:
"Quick! Send this letter to Xuzhou immediately and hand it over to the lord and military advisor for processing!"
"The rest of you, follow me back to the city!
Send someone to notify General Wenyuan!
Gather troops and surround Xiaopei!
We must get rid of Liu Bei before Cao's army arrives.……"
After that, Gao Shun led everyone back to the city in a hurry.
The Cao Ying death warrior was held in the team, secretly delighted in his heart:
"The Second Young Master has a brilliant plan!
The enemy has really fallen into our trap!"
"Liu Bei is in trouble.……"
