Yuan Shuyi: "Ji will be out?" The general said: "Although Liu Beitun's army Xiao Pei is easy to take, Nai Lü Bu hu is in Xuzhou, and the last time he promised him gold and grain and horses, he has not yet been with him, fearing that he will help; now when he sends grain to his heart, so that he will not move according to the army, then Liu Bei can capture." First capture Liu Bei, then Tu Lü Bu, Xuzhou Cande also. Shu Xi, with 200,000 Yuan, made Han Yin secret book to see Lü Bu. Lü Bu was very happy and treated Han Yin seriously. Yin hui told Yuan Shu that Ji Ling was made a general, and Lei Bo and Chen Lan were made deputy generals, commanding tens of thousands of troops and attacking Xiao Pei. Xuande heard of this letter and gathered a crowd to discuss. Zhang Fei wants to fight. Sun Hanyue: "Now that Xiao Pei has few grains and few soldiers, how can we resist the enemy?" The repairable book is in a hurry to lü bu. Zhang Feiyue: "How can that guy come!" ”
Xuan De said, "Qian's words are good." "Sui Xiu Shu and Lü Bu. The book reads: "General Fu Zi thought of it, and ordered Yu Yu to be able to accommodate himself, and to worship the virtue of the clouds and heavens." Now Yuan Shu wanted to avenge his personal vendetta, and sent Ji Ling to lead his troops to the county, where he died in the dying days, and could not be saved by the general. I hope to drive the division of the first brigade to save the upside down, and it is very fortunate! Lü Bu read the book and discussed with Chen Gongji: "The former Yuan Shu sent grain to the book, and Gai wanted me not to save Xuan Deye." Now Xuande came again for help. I think that Xiao Pei, the Xuande Tun Army, may not be able to harm me; if Yuan Shu merges with Xuande, then the Generals of Mount Taishan in the north will try to me, and I can't rest on my laurels: if I don't save Xuande. ”
According to the plot of the novel, Yuan Shu was anxious to claim the title of emperor and planned to first conquer Sun Ce, who occupied Jiangdong, a proposition that was opposed by the general Yang of Changshi. General Yang believed that Xuzhou should be occupied first, and the specific step was to destroy Liu Bei first, and then plot Lü Bu. Yuan Shu followed the plan and secretly sent someone to contact Lü Bu and promise 200,000 yuan of grain. After that, Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to command tens of thousands of troops to attack Liu Bei, who was stationed in Xiaopei. After Liu Bei heard the news, he immediately asked Lü Bu for help, and Lü Bu immediately led his troops to rush in, and then there was the story of "Shooting at the Gate".
The idiom to be introduced in this article is the phrase "do not move according to the soldiers" in the mouth of General Yang, which means to make the army temporarily inactive, and now it is also a metaphor for not carrying out work for the time being. The earliest source of this idiom is "Xunzi? The "Monarchy" in "The Soldier Doesn't Move." ”
The incident mentioned in the novel that Yuan Shu sent Ji Ling to attack Liu Bei did happen in history, in the first year of Emperor Jian'an (196 AD). According to the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms? Lü Bu's biography says: "Ji Ling and others rode 30,000 troops to attack and prepare for help. As for the purpose of Yuan Shu's move, it is indeed as stated in the novel to defeat Liu Bei as an excuse to plot Xuzhou under Lü Bu's control. However, for Yuan Shu's action, some of Lü Bu's subordinates will be more supportive. Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Lü Bu's biography says: "The general Bu Zhu said of Bu Yue: 'The general often wants to kill, but now he can pretend to be a skill.'" ’”
At this critical moment, the person who saved Liu Bei's fate was Lü Bu. The Book of the Later Han Dynasty? Lü Bu's statement in Lü Bu's biography is as follows: "Not so. If the technique is broken, then the north is connected to Taishan, and I have to save it because I am in the siege. Lü Bu saw through Yuan Shu's true intentions at a glance: to infiltrate into his territory xuzhou under the pretext of eliminating Liu Bei, and then secretly contact Qingxu Haoqiang in an attempt to subvert his position in Xuzhou. Therefore, Lü Bu still intervened and personally rushed to Liu Bei's aid. Later, Lü Bu also directed a good play of "Shooting at the Gate", which scared Ji Ling away, thus saving Liu Bei's life.
It is said that Lü Bu is brave and strategic, but from this case, Lü Bu is still very politically minded. However, Lü Bu's kindness was not rewarded. Not long after, Liu Bei secretly recruited troops and horses in Xiaopei, with a strength of more than 10,000 troops, which aroused Lü Bu's vigilance. Lü Bu then sent Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to attack and drive Liu Bei out of Xuzhou.
