Imperial commander General Lu Zhi is in command of 50,000 soldiers. They are currently in a fierce battle with the Yellow Turbans under Zhang Jiao. Liu Bei was one of his students when he was 15 years old. He learnt literature and military strategies under General Lu Zhi and he likes Liu Bei so much for this honesty. General Lu Zhi ordered Liu Bei’s volunteer army to march to Ying Chuan as reinforcement.
However, the battle for humanity against the corrupt government has taken a toll of General Lu Zhi’s life. General Lu Zhi refused the bribes from an Imperial envoy. And thus, Liu Bei’s future is also seems to be very tough.
Liu Bei was then plan to ally with Cao Cao against Lu Bu. However, the plan was exposed. This has lead Lu Bu attacked Liu Bei in
Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao in Xia Pi city. Xia Pi is fenced by Yishui and Sishui river, which form a natural barrier, making it easy to defend. The siege was between the end of fall season and the beginning of winter. Due to the fear of Lu Bu and Yuan shu. Cao Cao set up watch towers and blockaded the entire region. Liu Bei and his brothers were ordered to supervise the blockade against Nan Yang.A few days later, Zhang Fei realized that there is small team of Lu Bu’s envoy being sent to ask Yuan Shu for reinforcements. Zhang Fei waits at the pass to block their return.
One month later, the winter’s wind blew madly, chilling both armies. Both Cao Cao and Lu Bu were unable to move and thus they had to stop fighting for a while. Lu Bu spent his days in drinking wine because he was unable to ask for Yuan Shu’s help. Cao Cao then change his strategy by using the natural river to to attack Xia Pi. Xia Pi was completely flooded.
The defending army was panic and was forced to stay at higher platforms. Because of this incident Lu Bu instruct no body shall drink wine as he will behead anyone who dare to drink wine. Hou Cheng (Lu Bu’s General) was unaware of this instruction. He invited Lu Bu for a dinning party with wine celebration. This has caused Lu Bu almost behead Hou Cheng.
On that night, all generals decided to surrender to Cao Cao because of the intolerance of Lu Bu. At the same day of Hou Cheng’s surrender, Cao Cao attacked Xia Pi city. After the battle was over, Lu Bu was exhausted and went to sleep. Wei Xu and Song Xian take this opportunity quietly tight up Lu Bu and open the gate to let Cao Cao’s troops go in to the city. And that’s the end of Lu Bu. The spectacular end of the Lu Bu, truly marks the beginning of the chaotic era.
