Yuan Shu sent 100 thousand troops, led by General Ji Ling, to attack Liu Bei. For fear of L Bu in Xuzhou who might lend Liu a hand, Yuan wrote L a letter, together with many food supplies as gifts, asking him not to help Liu. Liu, on the other hand, wrote la letter asking for assistance. If I remain an onlooker with folded arms,thought L, I will be in danger after Yuan defeats Liu. But if I help Liu, Yuan will be be resentful to me. So L invited both Liu Bei and Ji Ling to a bqnqet.
L sat between Liu and Ji at the banquet. After a few rounds of toasts L began, Please grant me a favor by stopping the fight. When Ji Ling refused, Lu shouted for his long lance to be brought over. Both Liu and Ji got a fright. Ill stand my lance 150steps away outside the gate. If my arrow hits its edge you two will stop your fight. And if I miss the target you have your own way. Ji secretly hoped that he would miss the target, while Liu crossed his fingers wished Lu succees. L and wine brought up to him. After each one had a cup Lu arched his bow, aimed and shot with a big shout. The arrow flew like lightening toward the target, and hit right on the edge of the lance. A big applause rose from everybody around. Lu dropped his bow and laughed, saying, You see, even the heavens wish that you stop fighting. With his excellent archery, L averted a fight between the two sides.
袁绍之弟袁术派大将纪灵率领十万大军攻打刘备。袁术担心在徐州的吕布救援刘备,派人给吕布送去粮草和密信,要吕布按兵不动。刘备考虑到自己兵力不足,也写信求助吕布。吕布收了袁术的粮草,又收了刘备的求援信,他想:我若不救刘备,袁术得逞后我也危险;若我救刘备,袁术必恨我。于是,吕布让人把刘备和纪灵同时请来赴宴。
吕布坐在刘备和纪灵中间,吩咐开宴,刚吃几杯酒,吕布说: 看在我的面上,你两家不要打了。纪灵不肯。吕布大叫一声:把我的画戟拿来!刘备、纪灵都吓了一跳。吕布又说:我把画戟插到辕门外一百五十步地方,如果我一箭射中画戟的枝尖,你们两家就不要打了。如果我射不中,打不打我就不管了。纪灵希望射不中,刘备希望能射中。吕布叫人端上酒来,各自饮了一杯,酒毕,取出弓箭,搭箭拉弦,只听嗖的一声,吕布大喊:着!那箭不偏不倚,正中画戟的枝尖。在场的人无不喝彩。吕布把弓扔在地上,笑着说:看来老天也不愿意让你们打仗啊!就这样,吕布以他精湛的箭法平息了一场厮杀。
