辕门射戢

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。
