Losing his wife and losing his troops
During the Three Kingdoms period, Jingzhou was located between Xichuan and Soochow, and was an important battleground for military strategists. At the beginning, when Liu Bei was in distress, he "borrowed" Xingzhou from Soochow to stay and recuperate his power. After a little recovery, Soochow repeatedly asked for Jingzhou. Of course, Liu Bei would not give up his only foothold, so he repeatedly delayed it for various reasons. Zhou Yu, the governor of Soochow, was very angry and wanted to use a trick to take back Jingzhou. < /p>
Lu Su asked: "What's the plan?"
"Liu Bei lost his wife and will remarry. I know that your lord has a younger sister who is strong and heroic. You can pretend to be in the name of recruiting a son-in-law. Let Liu Bei come to Soochow to get married. Once he comes, he will be imprisoned and sent to Jingzhou to exchange for Liu Bei. After that, it will be up to us whether to release him or not. ? ”
Lu Su thought this plan was very good and agreed, so he told Sun Quan, the leader of Soochow, about it, and Sun Quan also agreed. So he sent Minister Lu Fan to Jingzhou to work as a matchmaker, saying: "Mrs. Liu Bei died of illness recently. I have a sister who wants to recruit Liu Bei as my son-in-law. We will marry forever and work together to defeat Cao Cao and support the Han Dynasty. I'll let you do this as a matchmaker." It's best. Please come and take a trip!" Lu Fan accepted the order and came to Jingzhou as a matchmaker.
As for Liu Bei, he lost his wife in middle age and was very troubled and sad. On this day, I was chatting with Zhuge Kongming to relieve my boredom, when suddenly I heard that Lu Fan from Soochow had arrived. Kong Ming smiled and said: "Zhou Yu must have some plot to conquer Jingzhou. I will hide behind the tent. No matter what Lu Fan says, you will agree. Then we will discuss countermeasures."
Liu Bei then met with Lu Fan.
Lu Fan first expressed his condolences to Liu Bei, and then explained his purpose: "A man without a wife is like a house without beams. So I will not avoid suspicion, and I am here to act as a matchmaker." Then he asked Soochow to ask for help. The matter of recruiting Liu Bei as his son-in-law and the political and military significance of this matter to the Liu and Sun families were stated seriously and sincerely. Finally, he said: "Because Mrs. Wu loves this youngest daughter very much and is unwilling to marry far away, she asked the emperor to go to Soochow to hold the wedding."
"Does your lord know about this?" Liu Bei asked .
Lu Fan smiled and said: "How dare you talk about this kind of thing casually without first seeking permission from the Marquis of Wu?"
Liu Bei declined due to reasons such as the large age difference. But Lu Fan was a very competent and enthusiastic matchmaker, and he persuaded her again and again. In the end, Liu Bei had no reason to refuse, so he said: "Please stay here first, and I will tell you the final decision tomorrow."
In the evening, Liu Bei discussed the matter with Kong Ming in detail. Kong Ming was very happy and persuaded Liu Bei to agree to the marriage, and immediately sent Sun Qian and Lu Fan back to see Sun Quan to discuss the marriage and choose a date to marry Soochow.
Liu Bei was by no means a mediocre person, so he looked at Kong Ming in confusion and said: "This must be Zhou Yu's plan. How could I rush into the tiger's den so hastily?!"
Kong Ming smiled and said: "Although Zhou Yu can use tricks, how can he exceed my expectations?! Lord, don't worry, I will use a small plan to keep Zhou Yu at a loss, Sun Quan's sister will become the wife of the Lord, and Jingzhou will be foolproof!"
Although Liu Bei believed in Kong Ming's miraculous calculation, he still had doubts about the danger of entering the tiger's den alone and was very hesitant. Kong Ming said: "I have made three clever plans. If I ask Zhao Zilong to protect my lord across the river, there will be no mistakes!" Then he called Zhao Yun, arranged the task, and gave him three tips: "You can protect my lord and his princess." When entering Wu, you can follow these three tips in sequence."
So, in the winter of October of the 14th year of Jian'an (209 AD), Liu Bei, accompanied by Zhao Yun and Sun Qian, entered Wu. national territory. As soon as he arrived in Nanxu, the first city in Wu Kingdom, Zhao Yun opened the first bag of tips according to Kong Ming's instructions. After seeing this, he ordered the five hundred soldiers accompanying him to go to the market one by one in red and green to buy various items needed for the wedding. At the same time, he loudly publicized the news that Uncle Liu Huang was about to get married to Princess Sun. The officers and people of Soochow heard about it and spread it on their behalf. Immediately, the happy news spread to all parts of Wu State. Zhao Yun also prepared generous gifts on behalf of Liu Bei and taught Liu Bei to take the initiative to visit Qiao Guolao.
Qiao Guolao is a very important figure in Wu State. One of his two daughters was married to Sun Quan's brother Sun Ce, and the other was married to Zhou Yu; his two sons-in-law, one was the founder of Wu State, and the other was the governor in charge of power. From this, we can see that Qiao Guolao was "spotted" !
Liu Bei's visit made Boss Qiao happy, but he was also very angry that he, the "old man of the country," was not informed of such a big event. After sending Liu Bei away, he rushed from southern Xuzhou to the capital to meet Sun Quan's mother Wu Guotai. As soon as he entered the door, he angrily congratulated Wu Guotai.
Guotai was startled: "What happy event is this?"
Guo Lao said: "It has been spread all over the country, and your noble son-in-law has also come to my door, why do you still have to do it?" Hidden from me?"
The prince was shocked and asked, "What happened?" He quickly called Sun Quan to question him and sent people to the city to investigate.
The people sent to the city to inquire came back first and reported: "This is indeed the case. The son-in-law has rested in the post house, and the five hundred accompanying soldiers are in the city buying pigs, sheep and fruits in preparation for the marriage. The girl's family is a matchmaker. This is Lu Fan, and the man is Sun Qian." Upon hearing this, Guotai stamped his feet and beat his chest, crying.
At this time, Sun Quan came to see his mother. Guotai angrily asked: "Do you still have me in your heart?! I gave birth to my daughter and raised it. You recruited Liu Bei as your son-in-law. Why did you hide such a big thing from me?!"
Sun Quan was frightened. I didn't expect my mother to know about this. As a last resort, he told Guotai the truth: it was just a trick, just to trick Liu Bei into coming to Soochow, so that he could blackmail and take back Jingzhou. I don’t really want to marry my sister to Liu Bei.
When Guotai heard this, he became even more angry and scolded Zhou Yu: "How come you, a dignified governor of six counties and eighty-one states, are so worthless?! You have no ability to take Jingzhou, but you named it after my daughter. It's a beauty trap! If you kill Liu Bei, my daughter will be a widower. How can she get married again?" Then he angrily scolded Sun Quan: "You guys have done a good job!"
I usually honor my mother, but now I can only remain silent.
Lao Qiao Guo was also unimpressed: "Even if we use this strategy to capture Jingzhou, we will be ridiculed by everyone in the world. How can this be done?!"
Sun Quan was ashamed.
Qiao Guolao continued: "Now that the matter has come to this, we can only recruit Liu Bei as our son-in-law to avoid making a fool of ourselves."
Sun Quan quickly objected: "I'm afraid the two are not of the same age. Go!"
Qiao Guolao already had a good impression of Liu Bei, so he argued: "Liu Bei is the great uncle of the Han Dynasty. Why not?"
Guotai said: "Tomorrow. I'll meet with Liu Bei first. If he doesn't like me, I'll leave it to you. If he does, I'll marry my daughter to him." Sun Quan had no choice but to agree. However, he laid an ambush at the meeting place in advance, and if Guotai was dissatisfied with Liu Bei, he would be captured immediately.
Unexpectedly, the next day at Ganlu Temple, Wu Guotai liked the handsome and neatly dressed Liu Bei very much, and praised Qiao Guolao: "This is really a man worthy of being my son-in-law!"< /p>
Qiao Guolao praised Liu Bei's character and talent even more. So Guotai made the final decision: choose a date to get engaged.
Sun Quan was so angry that he had no choice but to let the prince go.
After Liu Bei returned to the post office, Sun Qian asked him to see Qiao Guolao immediately and asked him to get married as soon as possible - because there were many people in Soochow who wanted to harm Liu Bei.
Qiao Guolao met Chen Guotai again. Guotai was very angry: "Who dares to kill my son-in-law?!" He ordered Liu Bei to move into the palace and live next to him, and agreed to Zhao Yun's command of 500 soldiers. Also come in with me.
Immediately afterwards, Guota held a grand wedding for Liu Bei and his daughter.
When Zhou Yu heard about this, he was very upset. He also had a plan in mind, asking Sun Quan to put Liu Bei under house arrest in the palace, and provide him with fine clothes, delicious food, music and singing girls, in an attempt to soften Liu Bei's ambition and make him greedy for pleasure and not want to return to Jingzhou. Then, he waited for an opportunity to sow discord between him and Guan and Zhang, alienating his relationship with Zhuge Liang. Finally, he used a trick to recapture Jingzhou. In short, Liu Bei must not be allowed to run back again!
So Sun Quan followed his plan: he built a luxurious palace to live with Liu Bei and his wife; flowers, trees and playthings were all beautiful and rare; Changjun, a singer and musician, was an excellent candidate for color and art; as for gold, jade and brocade , carriages, horses and clothing, and everything you need, extremely rich.
While working on the battlefield for many years, Liu Bei suddenly entered a state of gentleness and wealth. As expected, he was so happy that he forgot to return and indulged in wine and sex.
Zhao Yun was very worried when he saw this. According to Kong Ming, the second tip bag was opened at the end of the year. After he had seen it, he hurriedly came to Liu Xing who was listening to the singing and dancing: "I received a report from Kong Ming this morning. Cao Cao has raised 500,000 elite troops to kill Jingzhou! The military situation is very urgent. Please return to Jingzhou immediately!"< /p>
Although Liu Bei loves pleasure, he is not addicted yet. He was also surprised when he heard that Jingzhou was in danger. But he couldn't bear to leave Mrs. Sun.
Zhao Yun then deliberately urged Liu Bei several times.
Liu Bei was even more embarrassed and often looked sad. < /p>
Liu Bei was very happy, and the couple agreed to leave Wu Kingdom and sneak back to Jingzhou in the name of worshiping their ancestors by the river.
On New Year's Day, the couple paid New Year's greetings to Kunta. Later, Mrs. Sun said on behalf of Liu Bei: "The graves of our ancestors and parents are in Zhuo County. If you want to go to the river, look north and offer sacrifices to show your love for the Son of Man."
"This is filial piety. Of course!" Guotai looked at Liu Bei with admiration and agreed immediately.
So, that afternoon, five hundred soldiers led by Liu Bei, Mrs. Sun and Zhao Yun secretly marched towards the bank of the Yangtze River without telling Sun Quan.
The next day, Sun Quan learned that Liu Bei had escaped and quickly sent his generals and troops to pursue him. Zhou Yu was afraid that Liu Bei would escape, so he always sent troops to defend the only way he could pass. As a result, Liu Bei was attacked one after another and surrounded by pursuers. The situation was extremely dangerous.
Zhao Yun hurriedly followed Kong Ming's instructions and "looked through the third tip bag at a critical moment." After reading it, he told Liu Bei about Kong Ming's plan. Liu Bei hurried to Mrs. Sun's car and said with tears: "I have a few words of confidence that I want to tell Mrs. Sun." Then he told the story of his marriage to Mrs. Sun and the whole conspiracy of Zhou Yu and Sun Quan to use her as bait to murder Liu Bei. Told my wife. After that, he showed his love for his wife very sincerely. Finally, he said: If his wife cannot help him out of danger, he would rather commit suicide in front of her.
When Mrs. Sun heard what had happened, she was furious.
Since the couple had a deep relationship, of course they would not put Liu Bei in any danger, so he scolded the people sent by Sun Quan and Zhou Yu, and also scolded his brother and the "arrogant" Governor of Soochow. Then she raised her eyebrows and shouted at these people to give way! Otherwise, he will be killed without mercy! !
How dare these people take action when they see the princess getting angry? He felt that after all, he was a member of the royal family, and he was just a servant, a pawn. Why should he get involved in the master's family affairs and suffer the embarrassment? I saw Zhao Yun standing up with his spear drawn, furious and ready to fight. Knowing that it would be a thankless task, and he might even be killed by Zhao Yun, and would eventually be condemned by his master, he made way for Liu Bei to go.
Liu Bei escaped from death and hurried on his horse to the edge of the Yangtze River. The pursuers started again: Wu Jun's general took over Sun Quan's order - he would rather kill his own sister than let Liu Bei escape! Just as they were panicking, more than twenty boats came out of the reeds on the river bank. It turned out that Zhuge Liang was waiting here specifically to take Liu Bei back to Jingzhou!
Liu Bei was overjoyed and boarded the ship to celebrate with Kong Ming.
At this time, countless warships rushed upstream. Under the banner of Zhongshuai Zi, Zhou Yu personally commanded the navy to intercept and kill him.
Under the guidance of Kong Ming, Liu Bei abandoned his ship and went ashore, riding a horse and riding quickly.
Zhou Yu had no choice but to abandon the ship and go ashore. However, the navy had few horses, so they had to lead a small number of troops to pursue Liu Bei. Unexpectedly, halfway through the pursuit, a group of men and horses rushed out horizontally, and General Guan Yu stopped in front of them majesticly.
Zhou Yu was frightened and retreated in a hurry. Wu soldiers suffered numerous casualties.
Zhou Yu escaped with his life and returned to the ship. Before he could take a breath and calm down, Liu Bei's soldiers on the shore shouted loudly: "Zhou Lang's clever plan to calm the world, he lost his wife and lost his troops!" This sarcastic shouting was piercing around Zhou Yu for a long time.
Zhou Yu became angry and shouted, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he immediately fainted to the ground.
So, Zhou Yu married Liu Bei and stole the chicken but lost a handful of rice, which has become a satirical story that has been passed down to this day.
Mrs. Cai listened to the secret words across the screen as Uncle Liu jumped on his horse and crossed the Tanxi River
But it was said that Cao Cao dug out a bronze sparrow in the golden light. Xun You asked: "What is the sign of this?" Said: "In the past, Shun's mother dreamed that a jade bird fell into her arms and gave birth to Shun. Now she has a bronze bird, which is also an auspicious sign." Cao was so happy that he ordered a high platform to be built to celebrate it. On that day, they broke down the earth and wood, burned tiles and ground bricks, and built a bronze bird tower on the Zhang River. It will take about one year to complete. The youngest son Cao Zhijin said: "If you build a platform, you must build three towers: the tall one in the middle is called Bronze Bird; the one on the left is called Jade Dragon; the one on the right is called Golden Phoenix. Two flying bridges will be built across the sky. It's so spectacular." Cao Cao said, "What my son said is very good. One day, it will be enough to entertain me!" It turns out that Cao Cao has five sons, but he is smart and good at writing, and Cao Cao loves them most. So Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were left to build a platform in Ye County, and Zhang Yan was sent to guard the northern village. Cao took Yuan Shao's troops, totaling five to six hundred thousand, and returned to Xudu. He was granted the title of meritorious official; he also presented Guo Jia as the Marquis of Zhen, and raised his son Yi in the mansion. He gathered all the counselors again to discuss and plan to conquer Liu Biao in the south. Xun Yu said: "The army has returned from the northern expedition and has not been able to move again. Wait for half a year to recharge and recharge, and Liu Biao and Sun Quan can attack at once." Cao followed this and divided his troops into fields to wait for deployment.
But he said that Liu Biao treated Xuande very well since he arrived in Jingzhou. One day, while they were having a drink together, they suddenly reported that the surrendered generals Zhang Wu and Chen Sun were plundering people in Jiangxia and plotting rebellion. Biao was shocked and said: "The two thieves have turned against each other again, which is a big disaster!" Xuande said: "Brother, don't worry, please go and ask for it." Biao was overjoyed and ordered 30,000 troops to go with Xuande. Xuande left immediately after receiving the order. Within a day, he came to Jiangxia. Zhang Wu and Chen Sun led troops to meet him. Xuande, Guan, Zhang, and Zhao Yun rode under the banner of the gate, and saw the horse Zhang Wu was riding, which was extremely handsome. Xuande said: "This must be a thousand-mile horse." Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yunting came out with his gun and charged towards the formation. Zhang Wuzong's horse came to meet him, but Zhao Yun shot him off his horse before he could cross the line. He grabbed the bridle and led the horse back to the formation. Chen Sun saw it and came to seize it. Zhang Fei shouted loudly, thrust out his spear, and stabbed Chen Sun to death. Everyone collapsed. Xuande recruited the rest of the party, pacified the counties in Jiangxia, and returned with his troops. Biao Chuguo welcomed him into the city and held a banquet to celebrate his success. When the wine was half full, he said: "My brother is such a talented person, and Jingzhou can rely on it. But I am worried that the South Vietnamese invaders will come from time to time, and Zhang Lu and Sun Quan are both worried about it." Xuande said: "My brother has three generals who can be appointed. "He sent Zhang Fei to inspect the territory of South Vietnam; Yunchang refused to consolidate Zicheng to suppress Zhang Lu; Zhao Yun refused to take over the Three Rivers, so why should he worry about it?" I expressed my joy and wanted to follow his words.
Cai Mao told his sister Mrs. Cai: "Liu Bei sent three generals to live abroad and live in Jingzhou. They will be in trouble for a long time." Mrs. Cai said to Liu Biao that night: "I heard that many people in Jingzhou interact with Liu Bei. We must guard against him. It is useless to let him live in the city. It would be better to send him there." Biao said, "Xuan De is a kind man." Cai said, "I am afraid that others will not be like you." When I left the city the next day, I saw the horse Xuande was riding on was extremely good. I asked about it and found out that it was Zhang Wu's horse. I praised him endlessly. Xuande then gave the horse to Liu Biao. He was overjoyed and rode back to the city. Kuai Yue saw it and asked about it. Biao said: "This is a gift from Xuande." Yue said: "In the past, my elder brother Kuai Liang was the best at looking at horses, and Yue also knew him well. This horse has tear troughs under its eyes and white spots on its forehead. It is named Lu. It will harm the Lord. Zhang Wu will die because of this. The Lord cannot ride on it." Biao listened to his words. The next day, Xuande was invited to a banquet, and Yin said: "Yesterday, I received the gift of a good horse. I am deeply grateful. However, my dear brother marches from time to time and can use it. I respectfully send it back." Xuande thanked him. Biao also said: "My dear brother has lived here for a long time, and I am afraid that I will abandon the military affairs. Xiangyang belongs to Xinye County, Yi, and there is quite a lot of money and food. How about I lead my troops and horses to garrison in this county?" Xuande accepted the promise. The next day, I said goodbye to Liu Biao and led my troops and horses to Xinye.
Just as he was leaving the city gate, he saw a man bowing in front of his horse and saying, "You can't ride on the official horse." Xuande saw that he was a native of Jingzhou Mubin, named Ji Bo, and was from Shanyang. . Xuande quickly dismounted and asked. Ji said: "Yesterday I heard that Kuai Yidu said to Liu Jingzhou: The name of this horse is Lu, and riding it will hinder the owner. Therefore, it is returned to the father. How can the father ride it again?" Xuande said: "I deeply feel that the gentleman sees love. But mortals live and die. If you have a destiny, what can you do to stop it?" Ji admired his advice and kept in contact with Xuande from then on. When Xuande came to a new place, both the army and the people were happy, and politics was completely new.
In the spring of the twelfth year of Jian'an, Mrs. Gan gave birth to Liu Chan. That night, a white crane flew to the county government office, screamed for more than forty times, and flew away looking to the west. When she is about to give birth, the room is filled with strange fragrance. Mrs. Gan dreamed of swallowing the Big Dipper at night and became pregnant, hence her baby name Adou. At this time, Cao Cao's orthodox troops marched north. Xuande then went to Jingzhou and told Liu Biao: "Now that Cao Cao is marching north, Xuchang is empty. If we use the people from Jingzhou and Xiangzhou to attack them during the attack, great things can be accomplished." Biao said: "It is enough for me to occupy nine counties." "Why don't you think about it?" Xuande was silent. Invited to drink in the back hall.
Halfway through the wine, Biao suddenly sighed. Xuande asked, "Brother, why are you sighing?" Biao said, "I have something on my mind, but I haven't made it clear yet." When Xuande wanted to ask again, Mrs. Cai came out from behind the screen. Liu Biao lowered his head and said nothing. After a while, Xuande returned to his new home. In the winter of that year, when he heard that Cao Cao had returned from Liucheng, Xuande sighed so much that he didn't need to say anything. Suddenly one day, Liu Biao sent an envoy to invite Xuande to meet him in Jingzhou. Xuande went with the envoy. Liu Biao then went on to finish the ceremony and invited him to the back hall for a banquet. He called Xuande and said, "I have recently heard that Cao Cao has brought troops back to Xudu. His power is getting stronger and stronger. He must have the intention to annex Jingxiang. I regret not listening to my wise brother's words in the past." , Missed this good opportunity." Xuande said: "Today the world is divided and war is on the rise, how can the opportunity be exhausted? If we can respond to it later, it will not be enough to regret it." Bian said: "My brother's words are very worthy. ." Drinking with each other. Drunk, Biao burst into tears. Xuande asked why. Biao said: "I have something on my mind. I want to complain to my virtuous brother, but I can't get it." Xuande said: "Brother, what's so difficult to solve? If I have any use for my brother, I will not hesitate even if I die." Biao said: " The eldest son Qi from my first wife, Chen, is a virtuous man, but he is too cowardly to be able to succeed; the younger son Qiong, born from my second wife Cai, is quite smart. If I want to abolish the eldest son and establish a younger one, I am afraid that it will be hindered by etiquette. If I want to have an eldest son, I will fight against the Cai family. If they are all in charge of military affairs, there will be chaos in the future: therefore, we must not give up. "Xuande said: "Since ancient times, the way of abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones is to create chaos. If you are worried about the power of the Cai family, you can slowly reduce it, and you cannot spoil the younger ones." .
It turns out that Mrs. Cai was always suspicious of Xuande, and would always eavesdrop whenever she encountered Xuande talking to Biao. I was behind the screen when I heard Xuande's words and I felt very hateful. Xuande realized that he had lost his words, so he got up to go to the toilet. Because he saw his body and thighs regenerated, he couldn't help but shed tears. After a while he returned to the table. Seeing that Xuande looked tearful, he asked strangely. Xuande sighed and said: "As usual, I never leave the saddle, and the flesh on my thighs falls apart. If I don't ride for a long time, the flesh on my thighs grows. The sun and moon are passing by, and I am approaching old age, but my achievements have not been accomplished. This is so sad!" Biao said: " I heard that the wise brother was in Xuchang, making wine with Cao Cao with green plums, and talking about heroes. The wise brother named all the famous people in the world, but Cao Cao was not allowed to do so. If you dare to be ahead of my younger brother, why should you worry about not having enough achievements?" Xuande took advantage of the wine and replied: "If you have basic preparations, there is nothing for ordinary people in the world to worry about." Hearing this, he was silent. Xuande realized that he had lost his words, so he got up drunk and returned to the library to rest. Later generations wrote a poem praising Xuande, saying: "Cao Gong counted from the beginning on his fingers: The heroes of the world are all heroes. He still sighs when his beard is resurrected. How can the world be divided into three parts?" However, Liu Biao heard Xuande's words, but although he did not speak, he was full of regrets. Say goodbye to Xuande and retreat into the inner house. Mrs. Cai said: "I heard Liu Bei's words from behind the screen. He looked down upon him very lightly, which shows that he has the intention to annex Jingzhou. If it is not eliminated now, it will be a trouble in the future." She did not answer, but shook her head. Cai Shi secretly summoned Cai Mao to discuss the matter. Mao said: "Please go to the palace and kill him first, and then inform the lord." Cai said so. As soon as he came out, he ordered the army all night.
But it was said that Xuande was sitting in the library holding a candle and was about to go to bed after the third watch. Suddenly a man knocked on the door and came in, thinking it was Yi Ji: It turned out that Yi Ji found out that Cai Mao wanted to harm Xuande, so he came to take revenge at night. At that moment, Yi Ji reported Cai Mao's plan to Xuande and urged Xuande to get up quickly. Xuande said: "How can we go without saying goodbye to Jingsheng?" Ji said: "If I say goodbye, I will definitely be harmed by Cai Mao." Running back to new fields at starry night. By the time Cai Mao led the army to the library, Xuande was already far away. Mao was so remorseful that he wrote a poem on the wall. He walked in and saw Biao and said: "Liu Bei had the intention of rebellion, so he wrote a counter-poem on the wall and left without saying goodbye." Biao didn't believe it, so he went to the museum to see it. There are four lines of poetry. The poem says: "I have been trapped for several years, facing the old mountains and rivers in the sky. The things in the dragon's pond are riding on thunder to fly to the sky!" Liu Biao was furious when he saw the poem, drew his sword and said: "I swear to kill this unjust person!" Number of lines Stepping forward, he suddenly said, "I have been with Xuande for a long time, but I have never seen him write poetry. This must be a plan to alienate outsiders." Then he went back to the tavern, cut off the poem with the tip of his sword, abandoned his sword and mounted his horse. Cai Mao asked, "We have ordered all the sergeants, so we can go to the new field to capture Liu Bei." Biao said, "We can't make any mistakes. Let Xu try to figure it out." Seeing the table, Cai Mao was doubtful, so he secretly discussed with Mrs. Cai: a meeting will be held today. All the officials were in Xiangyang, and they planned it there. The next day, Mao Zhenbiao said: "In recent years, I have been very mature, so I have gathered all the officials in Xiangyang to express my support and persuasion. Please come with me, my lord." Biao said: "I have been ill recently and can't do it. I can ask my second son to take charge. "Hosting guests." Mao said, "Young master is young, I'm afraid of losing etiquette." Biao said, "You can go to Xinye to invite Xuande to entertain guests." Mao secretly thought that he had hit the mark, so he sent someone to Xiangyang.
But Xuande rushed back to Xinye, knowing that he had made a mistake and was in trouble, so he did not tell anyone.
Suddenly an envoy arrives, please go to Xiangyang. Sun Qian said: "I was very unhappy when I saw my lord returning in a hurry yesterday. If I thought about it foolishly, there would be an accident in Jingzhou. Now I am invited to attend the meeting, so don't go lightly.
General Xuande will come forward. The matter was reported to everyone, and Yun Chang said: "Brother, he was doubtful and lost his words. Liu Jingzhou had no intention of being angry. Don't trust what outsiders say. Xiangyang is not far from here. If we don't go, Jingzhou will be suspicious. Xuande said, "Yun Changzhi said so." Zhang Fei said: "If there is no good feast, no good meeting, it is better to give up." Zhao Yun said: "A certain general, three hundred people on horseback and infantry, can go with him to ensure that my lord will be fine." Xuande said, "That's very good."
So he and Zhao Yun went to Xiangyang that day. Cai Mao came out of Guo to greet him with great humility. Later, Liu Qi and Liu Cong led a group of civil and military officials to greet him. Xuande saw that the two young masters were both there and was not suspicious. On this day, Xuande was invited to rest temporarily in the library. Zhao Yun led three hundred troops to surround and protect him.
The cloud wears armor and hangs a sword, and cannot leave its left and right sides when walking or sitting. Liu Qi told Xuande, "My father is very angry and can't move. I specially asked my uncle to entertain the guests and to comfort and persuade the officials everywhere." Xuande said, "I didn't dare to do this; since I have my brother's orders, I dare not not do it. "The next day, officials from nine counties and 42 states were reported to have arrived. Cai Mao asked Kuai Yue to make plans in advance, saying: "If Liu Bei's tycoon stays here for a long time, he will do harm later, so we can get rid of him today." Yue said, "I'm afraid of losing the hope of the soldiers and the people." Mao said, "I have secretly led Liu Jingzhou Here are the words." Yue said, "In that case, we can make preparations." Mao said, "My brother Cai He has been sent to guard the Xianshan Road at the east gate; Cai Zhong has been sent to guard the south gate; and he has been sent to guard the north gate. Cai Xun has been asked to guard the gate. There is no need to guard the west gate. There is a Tanxi River in front of him. Even though there are tens of thousands of people, it will not be easy to cross. " Yue said, "I see that Zhao Yunxing cannot leave Xuande, so I am afraid it will be difficult to attack." : "I am preparing to ambush five hundred troops in the city.
Yue said: "You can ask Wenpin and Wang Wei to set up another seat in the outer hall to wait for the generals. Please stay with Zhao Yun first, and then you can proceed. "Mao followed his words.
On that day, cattle and horses were slaughtered and a feast was held. Xuande rode Lu Ma to the state government office and was ordered to be led into the back garden and tied up. All the officials came to the hall. Xuande Chairman, the two young masters sat on both sides, and the others sat in turn. Zhao Yun stood beside Xuande with his sword. Wenpin and Wang Wei came to invite Zhao Yun to the table. Cai Mao packed up the iron barrels outside and sent Xuande back to the tavern. They were only half drunk, and after three rounds of wine, Yi Ji took a cup and went to Xuande. , looked at Xuande with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Please change your clothes." Xuande understood, and immediately got up to go to the toilet. There are troops and horses guarding the east, south and north areas outside the city. Only Ximen can leave, the Lord should flee quickly! Xuande was shocked. Lu Ma, who was in a hurry, opened the back garden gate and led him out. He jumped on the horse and ignored his followers. The horse looked at the west gate and walked away. The gatekeeper asked, but Xuande didn't answer and whipped him out. The gatekeeper Unable to stop, Cai Mao immediately mounted his horse and led five hundred troops to pursue him.
However, Xuande ran out of the west gate and walked for countless miles. There was a big stream in front of him, and the Tanxi River was wide. A few feet away, the water flowed into the Xiangjiang River, and its waves were very tight. When Xuande reached the stream, he saw that he could not cross it. "Then he rode back to the stream. When he looked back, he saw that his pursuers were approaching. Xuande panicked and rode his horse down the stream. After a few steps, the horse's front hooves suddenly sank, soaking his clothes. Xuande whipped his horse and shouted: : “The Lu, the Lu! Damn me today! After saying this, the horse suddenly rose from the water, jumped three feet, and flew to the west bank. Xuande is like rising from the clouds. Later, Xuexiang Su wrote an ancient style poem about the story of the horse leaping over Tanxi River.
The poem says: "When the flowers are old and the flowers are gone, at dusk of spring, I occasionally go to Tanxi Road when I am traveling; I stop and look at the lonely wandering in the distance, and the red catkins are scattered in front of my eyes. I secretly think about the decline of Xianyang's fire virtues, the fighting between dragons and tigers, and the Xiangyang meeting. Wang Sunyin, sitting in the middle of Xuande's body, was in danger. He escaped out of the west gate alone, and the pursuers were approaching again. A river of smoke and water rose up from Tanxi River, and the horse's hooves were broken and the blue glass was heard. The golden whip is waving. I hear Qian riding away, and suddenly I see two dragons flying in the waves. The two dragons and colts sit down and meet. The water of Tanxi flows from the east. Where is the dragon colt now? I sigh with sadness, the setting sun shines silently on the empty mountain; the three-foot tripod is like a dream, and its traces are left in the world. "Xuande jumped over the west bank of the stream and looked at the east bank. Cai Mao had already led his troops to the stream and shouted, "Why did you run away from the banquet?" Xuande said, "I have no enmity with you, so why would you want to harm each other?" Hu said, "I have no such intention." Don't listen to what others say." When Xuande saw that Mao was about to pick up the bow and take the arrow, he quickly turned his horse and headed toward the southwest. Mao said to his left and right, "What kind of divine help is this?" Fang wanted to withdraw his troops and return to the city, but saw Zhao Yun leading 300 troops from the west gate.
