Liu Bei took it, opened it and browsed it carefully.

After reading the letter, his brow furrowed even deeper.

"Big brother, what did the letter say?"

Seeing this, Zhang Fei, who came into the account, couldn't help but ask.

Alas~

Liu Bei sighed and handed the letter to the third brother.

Zhang Fei took it, stared at a pair of tiger eyes, and looked down.

This secret letter is written by Lu Bu himself, and the content is very simple, which means that Guan Yu is in his hands, and if Liu Bei wants to exchange this second brother, then he must use Liu Wei or Cao Cao's head to exchange it.

"Big brother, then what are we hesitating about!"

After reading the letter, Zhang Fei was resolute, compared with the second brother, the lives of Cao Cao and Liu Wei were not worth mentioning at all. What's more, the second brother was arrested by mistake in order to give himself the queen of his palace, which made Zhang Fei fall into deep self-blame for a while.

"Third brother, don't be reckless!"

Liu Bei snorted and said that this was Lu Bu's trick.

Cao Cao has Dian Wei and Xu Chu by his side, and if he wants to kill him, it is impossible for Zhang Fei alone. When the time comes, he will show his feet and turn against Cao Cao, and the two sides will fight, and regardless of winning or losing, the only one who will benefit will be Lu Bu, who is watching from the wall.

As for Liu Wei, after losing the protection of Qinglong, it was much easier to kill.

But if Liu Wei is killed, Liu Bei will definitely get the reputation of killing the king, and at that time, not only will everyone be criticized, but the virtuous reputation accumulated over the years will also be ruined, and he will become a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout and beat.

No matter what the result is, it is unacceptable to Liu Bei.

"Big brother, you have something to say!" Zhang Fei said hurriedly.

"Third brother, I'm waiting, let me think of ideas. At least we know now that the second brother is still safe and sound. ”

"Wait, wait, when is it! Big brother, have you forgotten the oath we made when we were worshipping in Taoyuan? I don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, and the same day, but I want to die in the same year, the same month, and the same day! ”

"Otherwise, you will give me a soldier and horse now, and I will attack Lu Bu's camp overnight and rescue the second brother!"

"Third brother, this is exactly what Lu Bu is planning!"

Liu Bei was very sure that Lu Bu was probably using this as bait to lure them to take the initiative to attack the camp, and then ambush them everywhere, so that they could be wiped out at that time.

"It doesn't work, it doesn't work either! Is it just watching the second brother die? ”

Zhang Fei's expression was irritable, and his hideous face seemed to be devouring.

"Third brother, what are you talking about! The second brother was captured, and I, the eldest brother, was also heartbroken and anxious! You think I don't want to save him, but if we fall for the enemy's tricks because of this, then are you worthy of the second brother's sacrifice of his life to save him! ”

Liu Bei scolded angrily, his eyes were red, and he said to Zhang Fei with tears: "If you still recognize me as a big brother, just step back for the time being, and when I have a way, I will definitely send someone to inform you as soon as possible!" ”

"Huh!"

Zhang Fei was depressed in his chest, but he didn't want to make his eldest brother angry anymore, so he threw off his armor robe irritably, and simply went back to the camp to drink alcohol.

After Zhang Fei left, Liu Bei sat alone in the tent for tea and got up to leave the tent.

Outside Liu Wei's sleeping tent, Liu Bei explained his intention to the guards and soldiers.

"Situ Gong, Your Majesty has rested, you better come back tomorrow." The leader of the eunuchs guarding outside the tent bowed slightly and lowered his voice, for fear of waking up the sleeping Son of Heaven in the tent.

"He Changshi, if you are bothered, I will say that I have something important to ask to see below, and I must see Your Majesty." Liu Bei rarely did not retreat, and said firmly.

Seeing Liu Bei's stubbornness, He Chang sighed, and at the same time responded, not forgetting to remind him kindly: "Your Majesty will start a fire later, you can be careful." ”

Liu Bei said, 'Youlao'.

Then, He Changshou turned around and got into the big tent, moved his steps lightly, and cautiously reported to the Son of Heaven on the dragon couch: "Your Majesty, Situ Gong asks to see you." ”

Liu Wei, who was lying on the couch, just squinted his eyes and did not fall asleep.

Today's battle made him completely understand the gap between him and Lu Bujun, and every time he thought of it, his mood would become particularly irritable.

It is said that it is easy to fight the world, but it is difficult to defend the world, but when it comes to him, it is different.

Hearing Liu Bei's request to see, Liu Wei opened his eyes and sat up, his imperial uncle has always been on the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

If you ask to see you late at night, you must have something important to discuss.

So, Liu Wei got up and changed into his clothes, and ordered someone to announce Liu Bei to come in.

Before long, Liu Bei entered the account.

"Uncle Huang, you still came to see me so late, but you have something important to discuss with me?" Liu Wei gave a seat, with a gentle smile on his face, and asked very kindly.

Liu Bei didn't hide it, got up and took out the letter from his arms, handed it to the eunuch, and then he forwarded it to Liu Wei: "Your Majesty, it's not a secret, the minister just received a secret letter from Lu Bu, please take a look." ”

After reading it, Liu Wei not only did not panic in the slightest, but joked: "Uncle Huang wants to take my head?" ”

Since Liu Bei didn't bring Zhang Fei and came here alone late at night, it means that he has no intention of killing the king.

Hearing the ridicule of the Son of Heaven, he immediately knelt down, kowtowed and said: "The minister handed over this letter to His Majesty, just to show that the minister has no two thoughts about His Majesty!" ”

Liu Bei said sincerely, and Liu Wei also looked moved, walked over quickly, helped Liu Bei with both hands, and his face was full of concern: "Uncle Huang, the ground is cold, you get up quickly." ”

With Liu Wei's support, Liu Bei stood up.

"Then your second brother ......," Liu Wei wanted to say and stopped.

Liu Bei knew what His Majesty was worried about, and said firmly: "The second brother of the minister is familiar with the Spring and Autumn Period and knows loyalty, even if the minister fails to save him this time, he can also understand the minister's difficulties." One day, the minister will definitely slash the thief and avenge him! ”

"Good!"

Liu Wei clapped his hands and praised him, and immediately made a promise to Liu Bei: "If General Guan is persecuted by Lu Bu, I will posthumously call him General Zhendong and Marquis of Guangwu to show his loyalty and bravery." ”

"Your Majesty is benevolent, the minister is the second brother, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Bei thanked him and was grateful.

Afterwards, the two talked about today's war.

"Uncle Huang, today I fought with the Lu army, and I lost a lot of soldiers and horses, right?"

Liu Bei nodded gloomily, among all the battalion headquarters, his soldiers and horses suffered the most casualties, with a total of more than 6,000 people.

Because there are too few cavalry under his command.

Without the cover of the cavalry, the foot soldiers could only be reduced to fish to be slaughtered in the rout.

"Gongsun Chan has 30,000 cavalry under him, and he is the elite division of Youzhou. If these 30,000 soldiers and horses are in the hands of Uncle Huang, they will definitely be able to play a greater role......"

Liu Wei said seemingly unintentionally.

Liu Bei looked stunned, quickly recovered, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the minister and Bo Qi are like brothers, and they will take it in peace!" ”

Liu Wei smiled in his eyes, and his imperial uncle had something to say.

This seemingly benevolent and humble gentleman is actually ambitious.
