In Dongjun, in the meeting hall of Puyang City, Cao Cao looked at the letter from the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai he had just received in front of all the civil and military officers under his command, and read it in public: "In the past, in Jinan, the altar was destroyed, and its way was the same as that of Zhonghuang Taiyi. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Han line is exhausted, and the Huang family should stand. The great luck of the sky is not what you can do. ”

After reading it, there was an uproar below, and Xiahoudun snorted coldly and laughed: "I can't imagine that those yellow turban thieves who can't eat enough can actually write such good literary things!"

Xiahou Yuan also nodded: "Yes, I can't write such a good thing, do you want me to send a few people to find out who wrote it?"

Cao Ren smiled: "There is no shortage of characters in our army who can write, do you still need to find them from the Yellow Turban Thief camp?"

It was a funny remark, and everyone else burst into laughter.

Cao Cao was speechless for a while: "I called you all here to discuss how to deal with the remaining Yellow Turban thieves, and see what you are all concerned about, alas!"

Next to Xi Zhicai said: "Although there are many talents in the lord, but there are not many ministers, there is a capable person Cheng Li in Dongjun, if the lord wants to compete with Yuan Shu for Yanzhou in the future, he must have this person!"

When Cao Cao heard this name, he was puzzled for a moment, and then came to his senses: "Could it be that Cheng Licheng Zhongde, a native of Dong'a in Dongjun who has made suggestions for Liu Gongshan many times but refused to come out many times?"

Xi Zhicai smiled and nodded: "It's this person!"

Cao Cao's face instantly formed a layer of sorrow: "This person can be called a great talent, but he may not be willing to vote for me, if Liu Dai is the assassin of Yanzhou, he can't get this person to serve, I am too guarded by a county, how can I be virtuous?"

Xi Zhicai smiled mysteriously: "Why don't you give it a try?"

Cao Cao also smiled: "Okay, try it, you won't lose a piece of meat, come on, pen and ink are waiting!"

In Dong'e County, a middle-aged man with long hair is watching the old and young people in the city carry stones on their backs with earthen baskets to repair the city wall, and the yellow turban thieves have been rampant recently, and they have to come to attack almost every day, although the scale is not large, only a few hundred people, but it also makes people panic.

"Uncle Cheng, I heard that after the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou were defeated by Gongsun Zhan, they all poured into Yanzhou in large numbers, especially here in Dongjun, and it is not a way for us to keep it like this!" A young man was a little tired, resting against the edge of the city wall, gasping for breath, taking a few sips of water, and looking at the calm middle-aged man and asked.

This middle-aged man is Cheng Li, since Liu Dai was killed by the Black Mountain thieves, the entire Yanzhou has fallen into a leaderless situation, Yuan Shu took the opportunity to occupy most of the counties, led the history of Yanzhou assassination, forced the Chang'an court to admit, and just defeated Gongsun Zan at the boundary bridge Yuan Shao also secretly helped Cao Cao to take the East County, in order to fight against Yuan Shu, Cheng Li once wanted to persuade his hometown to move to a place with less war, but the homeland is difficult to leave, Cheng Li is helpless, Dong'e County Order and the county lieutenant fled without a fight, Cheng Li can only make the decision in person, calling on the hometown people to defend the city together。

"You little ghost, you have time to complain, it's better to do more work, the yellow turban thieves have nothing to fear, they are also people, there is nothing more capable, we have persevered for so many days, what we rely on, is will and courage, believe me, we can hold on to the end!"

Cheng Li confidently touched his beard, as if everything was under his control.

At this time, there was a sudden shout of killing outside the city, and Cheng Li's face changed slightly: "It seems that the yellow turban thief is here again!"

Sure enough, outside Dong'e City, a team with yellow scarves appeared in a mighty manner, but this time it was not a few hundred, but a few thousand.

Cheng Li saw it on the top of the city tower, and his face couldn't help but tighten: "It seems that there will be a hard battle!"

It seems that this is not the first time that the Yellow Turban thieves have come, they have easily broken through a few defenses outside the city, a few breaths of effort, and rushed to the city wall, without a cloud ladder to attack the city, they used the simplest way to stack Arhats, one after another.

After all, Dong'e is a county seat, the scale can not be compared with the state city, the highest place is only five zhang, the shortest place is only three zhang, and there are many dilapidated, fortunately, the yellow turban thieves do not have siege equipment, otherwise the city wall will collapse if it is stormed.

"Kill!" The Yellow Turban Thieves' ladder soon reached the edge of the city wall, and the Yellow Turban Thieves below were already impatient to wait, and they were about to rush up, but before they could climb the city wall, dozens of improvised wooden guns were already waiting for them.

Screams continued to be heard from the city walls, and then the Yellow Turban thieves under the city saw the corpses of their companions being thrown down one by one, and fell to death no longer enough.

"Qi Yu Qu Shuai, these people's defense is too tight, we can't attack it!" the Yellow Turban soldiers who played the forward cried to the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai who was supervising the battle with embarrassed faces.

"Hmph, what can't be attacked, it's because your stomach is not hungry enough, tell you, this Dong'e City must be taken for me today, otherwise I will collect all the last remaining rations of you!" Huang Turban Qu Shuai said with a fierce face, kicked away the little soldier in front of him, and held a chicken leg in his hand and gnawed it with relish.

The Yellow Turban soldiers looked at the fragrant chicken legs, stuck out their tongues, licked their lower lips, and retreated.

The siege troops of the Yellow Turban Thieves were dumbfounded when they got the news that they were going to be deducted from all their rations, didn't this force them to die?

But if you don't die, you can only starve to death, and after hesitating for a while, these Yellow Turban thieves still chose to rise up and storm the precarious city wall of Dong'ana.

At this moment, a group of people appeared in the rear of the Yellow Turban Thieves, under the banner of Cao Zi, led by Cao Cao's henchman Xiahou Dun, who held Qilin Teeth, raised his arms and shouted, and the tiger-like soldiers behind him were ruthlessly raging in the battle formation of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Cheng Li saw it really at the head of the city, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised: "With such a powerful combat power, I'm afraid it's Cao Cao's men!"

Thinking like this, Cheng Li turned around and encouraged the soldiers and civilians defending the city: "Everyone, our reinforcements have arrived, and Dong'e has been saved!"

There was a burst of cheers at the head of the city, and the morale that had been somewhat low suddenly rose high.

The two phases were attacked, and these thousands of Yellow Turban Liukou soon couldn't bear it, the attack was frustrated, and the enemy was attacked on their backs, and the previous Yellow Turban Qu Marshal couldn't care about continuing to gnaw on the chicken legs, and rode his own war horse to greet the soldiers and wanted to take the opportunity to slip away.

But this terrain Xiahoudun has already been surveyed, without waiting for the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai to escape from the battlefield, Han Hao, who had already been ambushed, killed it, and killed the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai's own soldiers, Xia Hou Dun led the troops to kill, and saw that the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai wanted to change into the clothes of ordinary soldiers and escape in chaos, he couldn't help but laugh secretly, and shot an arrow, resulting in the other party's life.

Cheng Li had already opened the city gate and took the soldiers and civilians guarding the city out of the city to greet Xiahou Dun: "Thank you for the general's life-saving grace!"

Xiahoudun didn't dare to slack off, he ordered Han Hao to clean up the battlefield, he came to Cheng Li, and bowed his hand and saluted: "Xiahoudun, the captain of Wumeng under the command of Cao Cao, the Taishou of Xiadong County, this must be Mr. Cheng Li, right? I am on the order of General Cao this time, please ask Mr. to go out of the mountain and seek the well-being of all the people!"

Saying that, Xiahou ordered him to take out a document left and right, which was Cao Cao's handwritten letter.

"You don't have to look at it, the general, please lead the way, and go to Puyang here!" Cheng Li didn't look at the paperwork, but said quickly, to everyone's surprise.

Xiahoudun was also a little surprised: "Don't you have to go home and prepare something, sir?"

Cheng Li smiled: "There is nothing to prepare, since General Cao wants to use Cheng, will he still be hungry for Cheng? General Cao and Yuan Shu are about to go to war, Cheng is late, and General Cao will be disadvantageous to the war!"

Now Xiahoudun was even more surprised, how could Cheng Li know that Cao Cao was going to war with Yuan Shu?

Han Hao counted the casualties at this time, and was about to report to Xiahoudun, but Xiahoudun waved his hand and said: "Yuan heir, I have to accompany Mr. Cheng Li back to Puyang, you are temporarily in charge of the garrison here in Dong'e, and you can't let the thief army kill Dong'e's father again, understand?"

Han Hao immediately clenched his fists and responded: "General Xiahou, don't worry, with my Han Yuanhei, I won't let those yellow turban thieves step into Dong'e, people are in the city!"

At that moment, Cheng Li instructed the Dong'e villagers present: "After I leave, you must cooperate with General Han Hao, and you must not be negligent!"

Everyone agreed in unison, but a few of them asked Cheng Li in confusion: "Cheng Gong, when Liu Tingshi personally invited you so many times, you didn't go out of the mountain, why did General Cao just send a subordinate to invite you this time, and you agreed? This contrast is too great, we don't understand!"

Cheng Li smiled, but did not speak, turned over and rode on the horse, facing the sunset, and walked towards Puyang with Xiahoudun's people.

Cao Cao had already received the news that Cheng Li had promised to go out of the mountain, and led all the civil and military forces out of Puyang City for several miles to greet him, and when he saw Cheng Li's outstanding appearance in Xiahoudun's army from afar, a smile appeared on his face.

"Meng De, successfully completed the task, and joined forces with Mr. Cheng Li to fight a beautiful battle against the Yellow Turban Thieves!" Xia Houdun had a smile on his face, and he proudly showed off to Cao Cao.

"Yuan Rang has worked hard, I have Zhongde, but I don't have to worry about it!" Cao Cao stepped forward, got off the horse, and held Cheng Li's hand tightly and sighed.

Cheng Li was a little flattered when he saw this battle, and immediately leaned over and said: "Cheng can meet the lord when he is nearly half a hundred years old, and he should serve as a dead force to repay the kindness of the encounter!"

At the moment, Xi Zhicai also rode a horse, and said with a smile: "With Cheng Gong joining, I can worry less about Xi Zhicai in the future!"

Cheng Li glanced at Xi Zhicai, arched his hand and smiled: "This is a high opinion of Cheng, who doesn't know the talent of Xi Jun, except for Xun Yu, Guo Jia, and Xu Shu, there is no comparison in the Central Plains, these three people have been obtained by Gao Yi, otherwise Cao Gong would not have thought of using Cheng as the mastermind!"

The civil and military forces behind him also cheered in unison: "Congratulations to the lord, you have a great talent!"

"Haha, a feast has been prepared in the city, all the kings, please enter the city, and have a good drink today!"
