Chapter 6 Chapter 6 Prohibition of Broken Cups

Zhang Fei couldn't bear the injustice in his heart. When Lu Bu returned, Xuande personally sent him outside the city gate.Seeing his figure, Zhang Fei added fuel to the fire, saying: "There should be a measure of politeness." He was furious, "Brother, if a good person goes too far, he is a fool." As soon as Xuande came back, Zhang Fei returned to him what he had just been reprimanded for. "Oh, it's Zhang Fei. Why are you angry? It's endless." "What's the matter? You say I'm too much, that means I'm impatient, stupid, and not worthy of being angry."

"If you kill Lu Bu as you said, what's the benefit?" "Severe future troubles." "That only takes into account the present. What Cao Cao hopes is that Lu Bu and I will fight in blood. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain-such an old-fashioned plan. Don't you understand this trick?" Guan Yu on the side clapped his hands and praised: "Ah, big brother is very discerning..." Zhang Feili was at a loss for words and was speechless. The next day, Xuande went to the post where the emissary stayed to thank him, saying: "As for Lu Bu's secret order, if we act urgently, it may not be possible. One day, we will find another opportunity to complete the secret order. Right now..." He gave a detailed reply Write it out carefully, and entrust it to the imperial envoy together with the thank you form.

The imperial envoy returned to Xudu and returned to his order according to the facts. Cao Cao called Xun Yu, and said, "What's going on? As expected of Liu Xuande, he handled it skillfully and didn't fall into your trap..." "Then set up a plan for the second stage." "The plan will be released?" "Send envoys to Yuan Shu's office and say: Xuande has recently invited the emperor to attack Nanyang." "Ok." "On the other hand, an imperial emissary was dispatched to Xuande again, with the imperial edict saying: Yuan Shu has violated the imperial edict, and ordered you to send troops early to attack Nanyang. The upright and old-fashioned Xuande sees that it is the order of the emperor, and will not violate it. "

"Go ahead." "The tiger attacked the leopard, and the tiger's den was empty. Who is the wolf coveting the empty nest? My lord can think of it right away." "It's Lu Bu! It makes sense, this person has wolf nature." "This is a plan to drive away tigers and wolves." "This plan is very good." "Ninety-nine times out of ten, you can rest assured. Because this plan hits the weakness of Xuande's character." "Hmm... if he acts on the emperor's order, he has no room to maneuver, so he can only operate as soon as possible."

In a hurry, he flew to Nanyang. At the same time, the imperial court sent an imperial envoy for the second time, and soon brought the imperial order to Xuzhou.Xuande went out of the city to meet him, worshiped the edict, and then asked the officials for advice. "It's Cao Cao's plan again. Don't fall for it," Mi Zhu remonstrated. Xuande pondered, then raised his face, and said: "No, even if it's a trick, you can't violate the imperial order. March into Nanyang immediately!" Weakness?Virtue? Sure enough, Xuande was seen through by the enemy, and the word "Chi" left him no room for maneuver.

Xuande is determined. Mi Zhu and other ministers knew this and kept silent. Sun Qiandao: "If you must go to Nanyang according to the order, it is most important to eliminate worries. Who will leave Xuzhou to stay behind?" "This," Xuande was also deliberating, "Guan Yu or Zhang Fei, one of the two must remain." Guan Yu came out and recommended himself: "Please leave it to me. I will definitely protect Xuzhou and put an end to any worries." "No, no, I can rest assured that you stay, but sooner or later, you are an indispensable person by Xuande's side when discussing matters and other matters... Sigh, who will stay behind?" Xuande was thinking, Zhang Fei suddenly took a step forward , as usual, happily said: "Brother, what are you thinking? It seems that there is no one available in Xuzhou City. Zhang Fei is here now. I will stay here and stick to it. Please rest assured to go out!"

"No, it's hard to give it to you." "why?" "Your character can attack a city, but it's not suitable for defending a city." "How do you say that?! What do you think is wrong with me, Zhang Fei?" "You are born to be a good drinker, and when you are drunk, you will beat soldiers randomly and act recklessly. Especially when you are drunk, you will not listen to people's advice. Xuande is very worried about keeping you. Let this task be left to others." "Ah, big brother! I will definitely keep your criticism in mind. I am always reflecting on myself... By the way, this moment is an opportunity. Taking advantage of this expedition, I, Zhang Fei, resolutely quit drinking. Broken cups are banned! "

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he threw the white jade wine cup that he always carried with him on the ground and smashed it to pieces. This wine glass was captured by Zhang Fei on the battlefield.It may have been discarded by the enemy general. It is a horse cup made of luminous jade.Zhang Fei thinks, "This is a gift from heaven, it is priceless", and he often carries it close to his body. Whenever he encounters a banquet, he must take it out. He cherishes it so much that he can't put it down. In the eyes of people who don't understand wine, this horse cup is just a utensil.But for Zhang Fei, he cherishes him like a child.He also made a vow to stop drinking.Xuande was moved by his high enthusiasm, and allowed him to say: "That's really good! Since you know your mistakes and correct them, what's wrong with Xuande? I entrust you with the task of staying behind!"

"Brother Xie! In the future, I must quit drinking, love the soldiers, listen to advice carefully, and never act recklessly." Zhang Fei, who was easy to be emotional, thanked Xuande and replied sincerely. Mi Zhu said sarcastically, "At the end of the day, Zhang Fei's drunkenness is like two ears, which are innate. It's still a bit dangerous to do so." Zhang Fei said angrily: "What are you talking about? When did I break my promise to my elder brother?" He was about to start a fight. Xuande comforted him and told him to be more patient in everything when staying behind, and to use Chen Deng as his military adviser, and left a message: "Everything should be discussed with Chen Deng first before handling."Soon, he led more than 30,000 cavalry to attack Nanyang.

At that time, Yuan Shu's influence in Nanyang, the land of Henan, was growing day by day.When the yellow turban bandits sprang up here, his elder brother Yuan Shao had been the commander of the bandit army here.Among the famous Yuan family, Yuan Shu is the most bold and unrestrained, everyone respects him. "Cao Cao from Xudu sent an urgent envoy here." "Are there any books?" "Have." "Bring the book." Yuan Shu exhibition book reading. "Servant!" "exist." "Immediately order the generals to gather in Zishui Pavilion in the city."

Yuan Shu's complexion changed drastically. The military officials and civil officials in the city didn't know what happened, so they hurriedly came to the pavilion to gather. Yuan Shu asked a courtier to read Cao Cao's letter aloud: Liu Xuande played the Son of Heaven, and if he wants to fulfill his ambition, please attack Nanyang.You and I have been friends for many years, how can we keep silent?So please don't be careless. "Did you hear that?" Then, Yuan Shu raised his voice, his face flushed, and scolded: "Who is Xuande? A few years ago, he was just a man weaving mats! He took over Xuzhou rashly and pretended to be the prefect. It is extremely weird to be ranked with the princes. Now, he does not know the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth, and intends to attack Nanyang. Immediately send troops to crush Liu Bei and serve as a warning for the world!" With an order, more than 100,000 riders left Nanyang on the same day, shouting: "Go to Xuzhou!" The general is General Ji Ling. On the other hand, the Xuande army heading south also came on their way, and the two armies met in Xuyi (now west of Jiangsu, south bank of Hongze Lake) in Linhuai County. Ji Ling, a native of Shandong, is extremely powerful, and he wields a three-pointed broadsword. He is quite famous for being brave. "Everyone Xuande! Why did you invade Nanyang? I don't know what to do!" Ji Ling shouted as he stepped out to the front of the formation. "I have an imperial order, are you willing to take the name of bandit soldier?" Xuande replied. One of Ji Ling's generals, named Xun Zheng, drove his horse and jumped out, shouting: "I will take the head of Xuande with my own hands!" Hengli rushed out of Guan Yu, brandished the eighty-two-jin green dragon saber, stepped forward to block him, and said, "Hmph! You are blind if you dare to approach my lord!" "You bastard, back off!" "My lord will not fight with you. Come at me!" "What did you say?!" Xun Zheng took the bait and let Xuande go.Although he fought bravely and sweated profusely, he failed to hurt Guan Yu's hair in the end. Hitting and hitting, the two riders hugged to the middle of a shallow river.Guan Yu was impatient, "Wow-wow!" With a lion's roar, he slashed down the green dragon knife high, and with a click, Xun Zheng was chopped into two pieces and thrown into the mist of water and blood. Xun Zheng was beheaded, Ji Ling was chased, and the whole Nanyang army fled.Retreating to the Huaiyin area, Ji Ling regrouped.Xuande did not underestimate the enemy in his heart, and since then he has been fighting day by day, without any surprise attack. Talk about Xuzhou. In Xuzhou, the city left behind, Zhang Fei was full of fighting spirit. He stood in the watchtower day and night, thinking about the service of his elder brother Xuande's army. "As expected of General Zhang!" All the remaining soldiers were convinced.He raised his hands and feet, and strictly observed military discipline everywhere. Today, he inspected the fortress in the city.Well done everyone.Although in the city, the soldiers and generals all camped, slept on the ground, and were willing to eat rough food. "Admiration! Admiration!" He praised as he walked among the soldiers. However, the touch and appreciation are only verbal, as if the purpose of the trip is to say a few nice words.This made Zhang Fei feel a little bit sorry, so he said: "The bowstring will slacken if it is stretched but not relaxed. It is not a bad thing to let the bow relax once in a while. Once something happens, you can tighten it immediately!" After speaking, he sent his soldiers to bring a large wine jar from the sealed wine cellar and put it among everyone. "Come on, let's drink! Everyone has worked hard every day! This is a reward for your dedication to duty. Today, everyone is courteous to each other, share some wine and have a drink." "General, is this okay?" The generals felt strange and scared. "Yes, I agree. Quick, soldiers, come here for a drink." The soldiers jumped up and moved closer.But seeing Zhang Fei looking at everyone with a dull expression, they felt awkward in their hearts and asked, "Will the general not drink?" Zhang Fei shook his head and said, "I won't drink. My glass is already broken." After speaking, he turned and left. When he returned to his barracks, where there were also many soldiers guarding the city wall without sleep, he ordered, "Bring a jar of wine here too." He followed someone to bring the wine jar from the wine cellar. Zhang Fei wanted soldiers everywhere to drink wine to show fairness.The wine cellar duty officer said: "The seventeen tanks have already been moved out, be careful, don't move any more." He said and sealed the door of the wine cellar. The city was full of alcohol, and the soldiers were laughing and chatting, making a lot of noise.Wherever he went, the smell of wine was tangy, and Zhang Fei had nothing to do with himself. "Have a drink, it's okay." Zhang Fei couldn't stand the soldiers' persuasion, and finally took a glass of wine and poured it into his mouth.Now he couldn't help it anymore, and shouted: "Quickly, use that wine spoon to scoop me another glass!" He drank two or three glasses in a row, as if pouring water into his thirsty throat. "What?! The person in charge of the wine cellar won't let you move it? Humph, that's unreasonable! Just say it's Zhang Fei's order, and move it again! If he dares to push back, then pull a small team to occupy the wine cellar! Hahahaha... ..." After drinking several tanks of wine, Zhang Fei's own stomach became like a wine tank.He kept saying: "Wow, hahaha... Ah, happy! Happy! Who will sing a majestic song? If you sing, I will sing too." The person in charge of the wine cellar reported to Cao Bao.Cao Bao was shocked, and came to see such an ugly state, he was speechless in surprise. Zhang Fei handed the wine spoon to Cao Bao and said, "Oh, Cao Bao. How about it, why don't you have a drink too." Cao Bao pushed it away and said, "Hey! Have you forgotten?! You have made a contract, and you have said those bold words!" "What are you talking about?! Come on, have a drink!" "Stop talking nonsense!" "What?! What do you mean by 'Stop talking nonsense'? You ant!" Zhang Fei suddenly hit Cao Bao's face with a wine spoon.Cao Bao was shocked with an "ah".Zhang Fei kicked Cao Bao to the ground again. Cao Bao was furious, and said, "Why did you humiliate me!? How dare you kick me in public!" He stood up and forced Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei spit alcohol on his face and said, "Why not kick you down? You are a civil servant, but you made irresponsible remarks to the general. I just teach you a lesson." "I'm telling you the advice of a friend!" "Guys like you are not my friend, and you are not even allowed to drink alcohol..." Zhang Fei raised his fist and hit Cao Bao's face again. The soldiers couldn't stand it anymore, some grabbed Zhang Fei's arm, some hugged his waist, trying to stop him. "Okay, how annoying!" Zhang Fei shook his body, and the soldiers were thrown out. "Wahhahaha...run away! Look, look, this guy Cao Bao hugged the face I slapped, and ran away! Happy! That guy's face will definitely be swollen like a wine barrel. He will It was so painful that I screamed all night, and I couldn't sleep." Zhang Fei applauded happily. Zhang Fei also said that he wanted to wrestle with the soldiers, but no one came up, so he said: "These guys! Don't you like me?!" As he spoke, he spread his big hands and chased the fleeing soldiers. A picture of a game between a ghost and a child. Cao Bao hugged his hot face and hid with difficulty. "Ouch...it's really hateful!" Every time his face twitched, his hatred for Zhang Fei would penetrate into his bone marrow more and more. "How to deal with him?" He suddenly thought of a terrible plan.He hastily wrote a secret letter, asked his ministers to take it, and drove quietly to Xiaopei County. There is not much distance from Xuzhou to Xiaopei.It takes two quarters of an hour to run on foot, but less than a quarter of an hour to ride a horse.About forty or fifty miles away. It happened that Lu Bu had just closed his eyes. His confidant Chen Gong learned what had happened from Cao Bao's servant, and walked into the house with a secret letter in his hand. "General, please get up. General, general, good news from heaven!" "Who is it?... so sleepy! Don't shake me awake!" "It's not time to sleep! It's time to jump up!" "Oh...it's Chen Gong." "Come, please read this letter." "Where is the letter..." Lu Bu finally got up and began to read Cao Bao's secret letter. The letter said: "Now Xuzhou is guarded by Zhang Fei alone, but today he is drunk and drunk, and the guards are also drunk and disordered."Please raise your troops immediately, and don't wait until tomorrow to receive this gift from God.Cao Bao opened the city gate from inside the city, thinking that he would respond. "It's a godsend. General, prepare immediately." Chen Gong urged. "Wait a minute. It's suspicious. Zhang Fei has always regarded me as an enemy, so it's impossible for him to let his guard down." "What else is there to confuse?! If you miss this opportunity, the opportunity to ride the wind and ride the clouds will never come again." "Are you sure?" "This is not like a general. Zhang Feizhiyong is indeed terrifying, but he is born a drunkard. This is an opportunity for us to take advantage of. If the general fails to seize such an opportunity, I will leave you with tears." Lu Bu finally made up his mind. The red rabbit horse finally carried its strong and persistent master again, and galloped for forty or fifty miles under the moon. Lv Bu had about eight or nine hundred generals, either on horseback or on foot, each thinking about the prey they had, vying to be the first to rush to Xuzhou City. "Open the door! Open the door!" Lu Bu came to the city and shouted, "Liu Shijun has a very urgent matter on the battlefield, so he sent me here to plan with General Zhang. Open this door quickly!" He knocked on the door. The city gate guard looked down from the tower and found something strange, so he replied: "I will report to General Zhang before opening the gate. Please wait here for a while." Five or six guards went to the house to report, but Zhang Fei was nowhere to be seen. At this moment, some places in the city suddenly shouted that Cao Bao had rebelled. The city gate opens from the inside. "Oh—" Lu Bu's soldiers and horses poured into the city like a tide. Later, Zhang Fei drank a lot of alcohol, and when he came to the West Garden of the city, he was as drunk as mud.What a coincidence, the moonlight was beautiful after nightfall, Zhang Fei looked at the sky and said to himself: "Ah, the moon is so beautiful!" After speaking, he fell into a deep sleep and fell unconscious. Therefore, no matter how the guards searched on the watchtower or in his couch, they did not see him. "Huh?..." Soon Zhang Fei was awakened by the shout.The clang of the sword and the clang of the halberd made Zhang Fei stand there stunned. "Oops!" He suddenly ran towards the city. But it's too late... The city fell into chaos and the world was turned upside down.The stumbling corpses that came into view belonged to the guards in the city. "Hmph, it must be Lu Bu!" Thinking of this, he flew on his horse, carrying a Zhangba spear, and came to the square to have a look. The rebels following Cao Bao joined forces with Lu Bu's army, and they were rioting like a demonic wind. Zhang Fei fought bloody battles and swept the enemy army with an air of nothing in his eyes.But after all, the wine is not sober, in his eyes, the enemy soldiers on the earth are flying in the sky, and the moon in the sky has become three or four. What's more, it is impossible to gather the whole army.The defenders in the city were fragmented, and more people raised their hands to surrender than died in battle. "Run away!" "Escape from here for now..." The eighteen cavalry generals surrounding Zhang Fei couldn't help but pull him out of the melee, broke through a corner of the east gate, and escaped outside the city. "Where are you going?!...Where are you taking me?!" Zhang Fei shouted. It looked like Zhang Fei was still drinking, and he felt like he was dreaming. At this time, a general from behind came chasing him with more than a hundred horsemen and horses, shouting: "Hey! Coward Zhang Fei! Come back, come back!" It turned out that Cao Bao chose soldiers with high martial arts skills to chase after him in order to avenge his past. "What are you talking about!" Zhang Fei turned around, and in a blink of an eye, he swept across hundreds of chasing soldiers like an autumn wind sweeping away dead leaves, and chopped Cao Bao in half, who was fleeing for his life. Blood sprayed seven feet, black mist covered the moon.Zhang Fei was sweating profusely, and the wine had dispersed.He breathed a sigh of relief, looked at his appearance, and suddenly cried out "ah".
