That said, how did Liu Bei get into the city? It goes back to what Liu Xian said to Liu Bei. That day Liu Xian then said:

"To the right of Xiapi County is Langya County, and Zang Ba is the spokesman of the whole Xiapi County. When Lu Bu lived in Xiaopei, Lu Bu and Zang Ba fought a few times, and most of the time they lost more than they won. This time, we can first contact Hao Yin in the city, saying that Yuan Shu sent us to help. Then, we can make Generals Guan and Zhang masked and lead several teams of soldiers into the city to ambush, after the incident, we can let General Zhang block the back of the city's main house to prevent Lv Bu from escaping to the barracks; General Guan first open the city gate to cover the army to enter the city, then you can go straight to take Gao Shun led by the trap battalion, and when the two generals win, they will be able to take down Hao Yin and take the city's main house together! "

The plan is always beautiful, the reality can be even better, no one would have thought that Chen Deng actually controlled a large portion of the defenders from mobilizing, which gave Liu Bei the opportunity to finally succeed in capturing the City Lord's Mansion. Yang Feng outside the city to see Lu Bu defeat is also overjoyed, then immediately led the withdrawal of troops, want to return to the city, but do not want to city messy arrow shot down, Liu Xian's to Yang Feng said: "Hao Yin has been taken by us, after this place will belong to Zang Ba generals of the territory! "

Yang Feng was shocked, and seeing the shouts of killing in the city, he was so shocked that he immediately turned around and retreated back. Liu Xian shook his head, "Originally this was reserved for the pursuing Lu Bu's army, this may be used on you now." Only to see Yang Feng's army rushing into the wooded path ahead, halfway through the rush but saw that the front was stopped by rolling logs, the horses couldn't cross, Yang Feng only had to let his soldiers leave their horses behind and continue to move forward. But suddenly rockets were shot from all around, igniting the dry leaves that had been prepared long ago, causing a huge fire, Yang Feng had to flee, leaving behind hundreds of corpses. Liu Bei's army chased after him and captured hundreds of horses and more than a thousand pieces of armor.

On the other hand, Lu Bu fled with Gao Shun, merged with Zhang Liao's army into one group, and retreated back to Xiaopei, while Chen Gong and other remnants of his army also withdrew from the other side of the city and evacuated with Lu Bu's army. By the time Lu Bu arrived at Xiaopei, his own 10,000-strong army had long been reduced to just 5,000 men, and his general Hou Cheng was seriously wounded, and had memorized the enemy who had beaten them back - "Zang Ba".

And Chen Deng also found out the new owner of the City Lord's Mansion among his escorts, he thought it was Liu Bei who had come back after repelling Zang Ba and Lu Bu's army again, although it was strange, he also told the people under his hand to give up the resistance while he himself went to Liu Bei in person to negotiate.

Liu Bei is actually very uninterested in Chen Deng right now, and the capture of Xiapi this time around has completely opened his eyes to the true nature of the Xuzhou family. For the Xuzhou family, he is just a passer-by, those who do not care who occupies Xuzhou, the landlord wants to just keep their own prosperity, is Chen Deng such a famous scholar in the Chen family is not exempt. The last time Xiapi was lost, it was due to the collaboration between the Cao family and the Lu Bu family in Xuzhou. But because it is one of the three great families here, they want to rule here can not be separated from their support, so Liu Bei can only, continue to let Chen Deng official reinstatement. But after that, it is also inevitable to slowly suppress Chen and Cao family clan.

Liu Bei recovered Xiapi and his wife, naturally, it is inevitable to celebrate the party properly. At the celebration banquet, everyone pushed cups and drank, Liu Bei turned toward Liu Xian, grateful: "much thanks to the brothers to help, so that I can let me back to Xiapi, very 🥹, do not know how to express gratitude"

Zhang Fei said; "I do the same!"

Guan Yu: "Mister really wants to be like a god, very good at using schemes. Mister is really a smart man, I don't know how to express my gratitude"

Zhang Fei also wanted to say something, but ended up thinking for a long time and said, "Me too!"

Liu Bei frowned, "Third brother, I usually tell you to read more books, how can you achieve great things in the future like this." Zhang Fei said full of concern:

"It's not as long as big brother and second brother will say no, come on, brother, drink, drink! "

------

The next day woke up, Liu Xian realized that he had long been resting in the guest room. After doing Zhang Fei yelled not drunk, but did not expect Liu Xian is used to drinking modern wine, ancient wine degrees are really not high, and Zhang Fei drank to the early morning to feel drunk, Zhang Fei at this time also drunk, and finally the two are drunk on the ground, was Liu Bei has long been prepared by the subordinates to transport back to the room prepared for each of them.

Liu Xian went out the door and found himself in the City Lord's Mansion, when he walked out to see Liu Bei and the others all here to discuss the next step in the plan.

When Guan Yu saw Liu Xian come out, he stroked his beard and laughed; "Mr. Wine is very good, he can actually drink the same amount as my third brother, Guan Mou admires him." Liu Xian smiled awkwardly, sat down, greeted Sun Qian, Jian Yong, and together they analyzed the next plan with Liu Bei.

Liu Bei said, "Now that we have taken back Xiapi, my idea is to make all of you continue to run the city of Xiapi, and then levy some more teams, and once again run to Xiaopei to fight with Lu Bu, what are your opinions?"

Liu Xian began to think about it. According to the original course of events, Liu Bei should have been defeated at Guangling and then retreated to Haixi, with the help of Mi Zhu. Although Liu Bei has captured Xiapi, he can also go to Haixi. I think with the help of Mi Zhu's wealth, Liu Bei can also be rich soon. After thinking for a while, Liu Xian said: "Now that Xiapi has been captured, it is inappropriate to continue to use military force, so my suggestion is that Liu Bei may want to go to Haixi to reorganize his army first. I heard that Xuzhou Mi Zhu is your friend, so I can let him help you."

"Mi Zhu... "Liu Bei reads the name, and can't help but hesitate a bit. As I said before, the last time he was captured Xiapi has completely let him see the true face of the Xuzhou family, for the Xuzhou landlord family, he is just a friend. Those profit-oriented people, do not care who occupy Xuzhou, the landlords want to just keep their own prosperity. Even Chen Deng's Chen family is not exempt from this. The last loss of Xiapi has put them at war with the Cao family, but the Chen family has always remained neutral, not wanting to participate in the dispute. This Mi family, on the other hand, happens to be one of the three major families in Xuzhou! Mi Zhu will really help himself?

Liu Bei looked at Liu Xian, but saw Liu Xian face certainty, out of several times Liu Xian's analysis of each of the fulfillment, Liu Bei suddenly clenched his teeth and said: "Let's go to Haixi first, and then analyze!" Now, Liu Bei recruited some soldiers, looking for Guan Yu, told him to wake up the drunken Zhang Fei, leaving Sun Qian and Jian Yong responsible for internal affairs, and Liu Xian out of the city gates towards the northeast of the Haixi.
