Chapter 18 Lessons from Zhang Fei

After Lu Bu returned to his house, he hesitantly told Diao Chan about his marriage. He thought Diao Chan would be sad. Unexpectedly, Diao Chan was very reasonable. She smiled and said, "I was born as a singer, so I can't be the general's wife. But the general cannot be without a wife. The general should have a long time ago. In the future, when the wife enters the house, I should do my duty to serve her. The general doesn't have to worry."

Lu Bu held Diao Chan's hand and said, "I will definitely not let you suffer any grievances. You can just treat her as a sister. In addition, I, I, don't marry you as a wife, not because of your origin... it's because... it's because there's no fate." Although Diao Chan couldn't understand what he meant, her heart was ups and downs. She snuggled in Lu Bu's arms, covering Lu Bu's lips with tenderness, indicating that he didn't need to say much.

Due to the wedding of Lu Bu and Cao Min, Lu Bujun, who had originally planned to stay in Xiaopei for half a month, would extend the wedding of Lu Bu. Liu Bei also visited Xiaopei in person and gave him a lot of brocade as gifts.

At the end of the wedding banquet, Liu Bei said to Lu Bu: "Gongsun Zan and Cao Cao have started fighting. Brother, I will lead troops to help Gongsun Zan tomorrow. When Fengxian's virtuous brother left Xuzhou, brother, I can't come to see him farewell, so say goodbye in advance." After that, he bowed to Lu Bu and said goodbye.

When Liu Bei returned to Xia Pi, Zhang and Guan had already been waiting in their mansion. Seeing Liu Bei come back, Zhang Fei said first: "Brother, you can't leave now. That guy Lu Bu has also clinged to relatives with the soldiers and generals of Xuzhou. This is to plot against our Xuzhou!"

Guan Yu stroked his beautiful beard and said slowly: "What my third brother said is that Lu Bu has only been here for a few days and has married a military officer from Xuzhou. He said it has no purpose, and only the genius believes it. In addition, we can't save Gongsun Zan. One is that the road is so far, and the other is that how can our little force play a role."

Liu Bei had a solemn expression and said to the two: "This Gongsun Zan is my senior brother. He made a grudge with Cao Cao because he saved me Xuzhou last time. If we don't go to rescue this time, what are our faces? We should be based on morality, benevolence and righteousness. If we can save it, don't worry about whether we can save it or not, at least we have to do it."

After saying that, he turned to Zhang Fei and said, "This time, Erdi and I will lead the troops. You will be in Xia Pi. You will set two rules for you: one is not allowed to drink, and the other is not allowed to beat and scold soldiers, especially the local officers and soldiers in Xuzhou. If an enemy attacks Xuzhou, you must defend Xia Pi, at least ensure that Xia Pi will not be lost."

Zhang Fei showed an impatient expression: "Oh, brother, you don't believe me yet. Don't worry, I, Zhang Fei, will definitely show you the house well."

On the second day, Liu Bei gave the governor's seal to Zhang Fei, and led his army out of the city and headed north. Zhang Fei looked at Liu Bei who was leaving, grinning. Now no one could care about him. Since then, he got drunk every day, and after getting drunk, he would have fun by beating the soldiers.

...

On that night, Lu Bu and Cao Min were still talking about me and me during their honeymoon, and they seemed to have something they had not said for several years. Suddenly, a maid said outside: "Head of the family, General Cao Bao and Cao are asking for a meeting with the head of the family."

"Hey, why are my father doing so late?" Cao Min said in surprise.

"There must be something important." Lu Bu seemed to have anticipated something.

In the hall, Lu Bu and Cao Min saw the old Cao Bao with a bruised nose and a swollen face and lying on a stretcher, and hurriedly asked what happened. Cao Bao told him about his experience in grief and anger. It turned out that this morning, Cao Bao was summoned to Xia Pi by Zhang Fei.

Cao Bao thought there was a major military event, but after a long time, Zhang Fei gathered all the generals to drink with him. Cao Bao didn't know how to drink, and it was known to everyone in the army, so Zhang Fei could not know. He deliberately toasted Cao Bao. Cao Bao forced two bowls, but Zhang Fei still refused and continued to force Cao Bao to drink. Cao Bao politely refused. Zhang Fei beat Cao Bao on the grounds that he disobeyed the military order and punished him with fifty military sticks.

"It's unreasonable, every man deceives others too much." Lu Bu slapped the table.

"Son-in-law, we have been holding back the anger of this husband for a long time and have long been disobedient. Now, we can cooperate inside and outside and take over this Xuzhou."

Chen Gong also heard about this and had already arrived at Lu Bu's mansion. He had been standing beside him for a long time. At this time, he stood up and bowed to Lu Bu and said, "Lord, Xuzhou is not our foundation. It is a place of four battles and has been slaughtered by Cao thieves many times. It has a sparse population. Looking at the entire history, there is no one who can win the world with Xuzhou as the foundation. Even the Overlord of Western Chu did not do it at that time."

Lu Bu nodded approvingly and said, "The public opinion is the same as mys, but this revenge must be repaid, and the wishes of the soldiers of Xuzhou must not be fulfilled."

...

It was another month-long night. Lu Bu lit up three thousand soldiers and headed towards Xiapi City. Soon they came under the city tower, and the soldiers swayed toward the city tower with torches. Soon the city gate opened.

Three thousand soldiers rushed in with guns and shields. A large number of former Xuzhou soldiers had already responded to the city. A few Liu Bei's troops found something wrong and were about to make some moves, but there were already a sound of killing. A few stubborn soldiers were quickly knocked down by Lu Bu's generals. The rest were also quickly disarmed.

At this time, Zhang Fei was still drinking all night long, drunk. A personal soldier hurriedly ran into the mansion and shook Zhang Fei's shoulders: "General Zhang, wake up, Lu Bu is coming to attack me Xia Pi. General... wake up."

Zhang Fei opened his drunken eyes and shouted, "Spuncai, why did you disturb your grandfather's sleep? Could it be that he wanted to eat military sticks?" The soldier was so scared that he shook all over and said, "No...No. Lu Bu, Lu Bu came to attack my Xiapi City, and now he has attacked the city. There are still a large number of rebels in the city to help." Zhang Fei was so shocked that he woke up most of the time and shouted, "Catch my spear."

Lu Bu led several cavalry into the mansion and was meeting Zhang Fei who was coming towards him. He was carrying a spear and staggering towards Lu Bu. Without saying a word, Lu Bu jumped off his horse and met him with bare hands.

"Slaves of the Three Certains, take your Grandpa Zhang's shot." Zhang Fei shouted violently, stabbed the spear out and headed straight to Lu Bu's door. Lu Bu was calm and moved slightly. The spear passed by his cheek. At the same time, he raised his hand and grabbed it firmly. Zhang Fei tried to retract the spear back with his arms, but he did not move at all. The spear rod seemed to be welded in Lu Bu's hands.

Lu Bu exerted force at this time, and he swung the gun and brought Zhang Fei to the ground. Zhang Fei didn't want his spear at this time, so he got up and was about to run. Lu Bu stepped up and grabbed his arms and tripped him to the ground with one leg. The soldiers behind quickly stepped forward and tied Zhang Fei tightly.

...

In the square, all the soldiers and officers of Xuzhou from Xia Pi gathered here. Lu Bu bowed to the dark soldiers below the stage and said, "I attacked Xia Pi City last night not for the purpose of Xuzhou, but for Brother Xuande, he taught his unsatisfied third brother a lesson, and gave him anger to all the bullied soldiers!"

Zhang Fei was hung upside down on the wooden rack, still cursing. Lu Bu looked at him with a sneer and said, "You don't like to be drunk, so I'll let you drink enough today!" He made a gesture to the soldier next to him. The rope was put down, and Zhang Fei's body was immersed in the wine tank. It took several seconds to lift it. After repeated this many times, Zhang Fei was dizzy and dared not speak anymore. Lu Bu ordered the soldiers to whip Zhang Fei fifty times.
