story
Liu Bei was defeated by Cao Cao, took refuge in Liu Biao and lived in Jingzhou. Liu Biao was very kind to Liu Bei, but his wife, Mrs. Cai, and his younger brother, Cai Mao, always suspected that Liu Bei had the intention to annex Jingzhou, and often reminded Liu Biao: "Liu Bei has always lived in Jingzhou, and it will be doomed over time." Liu Biao said, "Liu Bei is kind, but not so."
Once in a war, Liu Bei captured a swift horse named Delu. Liu Biao read it, loved it very much and praised it. Liu Bei gave the horse to Liu Biao. Some of Liu Biao's men are quite familiar with equestrian, saying that this horse has a tear ditch at the moment and a white spot on its forehead, which is called "Delu". Riding is harmful to the owner, so Liu Biao is advised not to ride. Since then, Liu Biao has been wary of Liu Bei. He listened to Mrs. Cai's words, sent Liu Bei to Xinye and returned Liu Bei. The next day, Liu Bei rode out of town. Just out of the city gate, I saw a man stop in front of the horse and said, "You can't ride horses in the house." Liu Bei regarded it as a guest of Jingzhou, Yi Ji, and dismounted to ask him. Sima Yi said, "Someone once said to Liu Biao," If you ride this horse, it will harm your master. Liu Biao also returned to the public. Can the public take the exam again? " Liu Bei replied: "Mr. Xie is kind. But mortals have death and life, and horses can't harm you! " Lu has been riding since then.
Mrs. Cai and Cai Taizu hated Liu Bei's guts and tried to harm him several times, but failed. On one occasion, Liu Biao attended a meeting in Xiangyang. Because he was too ill to act, he invited Liu Bei to preside over Xiangyang. Chua's brothers and sisters took this opportunity to set a poisonous trap against Liu Bei. On the day of the banquet, Cai Mao sent troops to guard the east, north and south gates, leaving only the west gate. There is a big stream outside the west gate, which is several feet wide and named Tanxi. The current is very fast. Although there are tens of thousands.
A lot, and it's not easy. There are 500 soldiers in ambush in the city, and the state capital is surrounded by iron drums. Set up another seat to dissuade Zhao Yun and 300 soldiers who protect Liu Bei from drinking. Everything is ready, just wait for the opportunity to start at once.
During the dinner, Yi Ji, the screen guest, got up and made a toast. He came to Liu Bei and told him the news quietly. After Liu Bei knew it, he came to the backyard under the pretext of changing clothes. Yi Ji then arrived and whispered to Liu Bei, "Cai Mao designed to harm the king. There are three places outside the city, east, south and north. Only Simon can go, and the people must flee quickly! " Hearing this, Liu Bei was shocked. Ma Lu was in a hurry, opened the door of the back garden and led him out. Turn on the horse, hit a few lashes, and fly out of the west gate. After walking for countless miles, Tanxi blocked the way and saw the stream rushing and choppy. Seeing that the stream was wide and the water was urgent, Liu Bei wanted to rein in his horse and go back. He saw the dust flying in the west of the city, and the pursuers were approaching. Liu Bei didn't feel bitter: "I'm dead this time!" When he returned to the stream to look again, the pursuer was near, and he had to ride down the river without taking a few steps. The horse slipped and soaked his robe. Liu Bei waved his whip and shouted, "Drew, Drew! It really hurt me today! " As soon as the voice fell, the horse rushed out of the water.
Get up, jump three feet and fly to the west bank.
Cai Mao led the army to the river and saw Liu Bei riding across the river. He was helpless and said to the left and right, "Liu Bei must have the help of gods!" " Say and go home angrily.
