Cao Cao sent reinforcements to support Liu Bei's intelligence naturally could not hide Lü Bu's army, after Tanma reported to Lü Bu, under the construction of Chen Palace, Lü Bu left Gao Shun to continue to surround Xuzhou but did not attack, and then led a large army to meet Cao's army.

However, Xiahou Dun and Li Dian led the vanguard army to feel that thirty miles outside Peicheng, they encountered the vanguard sent by Lu Bu, Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and Cao Xing. The two armies shot at the position, Xiahoudun and Li Dian rode their horses side by side in front of the formation, and Cheng Lian, Hou Cheng and Cao Xing also rode their horses in front of the formation.

"Lu Bu colluded with the puppet emperor Yuan Shu, not only did you not dissuade you, but you also aided the abuse, you are really a traitor! If you don't surrender quickly, you can still save your life!" Xiahoudun shouted in the direction of Lu Bujun.

"Phew! Now no one in the world knows that Cao Cao's name is Han Chen, but he is actually a Han thief! Don't talk nonsense, let's fight!" Cheng Lian shouted loudly after snorting disdainfully.

"The thief will dare to humiliate my lord!! look at the gun!! "Xiahoudun can't tolerate others Cao Cao is not, he is furious, and he slaps his horse and goes straight to Chenglian.

Cheng Lian was not afraid of Xiahoudun, and immediately stepped forward to fight with him. The two fought for dozens of rounds, and Cheng Lian gradually turned to the defensive because of fatigue; Hou Cheng saw that Cheng Lian could not win, but was in danger of defeat, so he immediately stepped forward to help.

"The thief will dare to bully the few! Brother Xiu is surprised! Miaocai is here to help you!" It happened that Xiahou Yuan and Lu Qian led the front army to catch up, and Xiahou Yuan saw Hou Cheng and immediately stepped forward to attack Xiahou Yuan, and without resting, he directly killed Hou Cheng.

The two pairs of centaurs tangled in the center of the two formations, but soon, the scales gradually fell to the Xiahou brothers.

"Hahaha! The Eight Warriors are just like this!! look at the moves!! "Among the Eight Warriors, Hou Cheng's strength is only slightly better than Wei Xu, and against Xiahou Yuan, a famous general with high martial arts, he soon couldn't parry, and suddenly became in a hurry.

"Ah!!" Just when Xiahou Yuan was about to kill Hou Cheng, a scream suddenly came from the side. Xiahou Yuan and Hou Cheng looked at it in unison.

"Brother !!" saw that an arrow had been inserted in Xiahoudun's left eye, and his face was covered with blood, looking hideous and terrifying.

Xiahou Yuan gave up the opportunity to kill Hou Cheng, and rode on his horse with wide eyes to find the murderer who released the arrow, Hou Cheng took this opportunity to escape from the siege and return to his own position.

At this moment, Xiahou Yuan, who was looking for the murderer, heard a sound of breaking the air next to his ears, and originally thought that someone had released a cold arrow on him, but the next second he found that Cao Xuan in Lu Bu's army was pressing his neck, and a feather arrow was stuck in it, and then he fell off his horse and died.

It turned out that Cao Xing, who was hiding in the formation just now, saw that Cheng Lian was at a disadvantage, and under the cover of the soldiers, he secretly drew his bow and arrows, directly aiming at Xiahoudun's vital point. Unexpectedly, as soon as the arrow left the bowstring, Xiahoudun changed his move at the same time, and the arrow that was originally aimed at the vital point only hit Xiahoudun's left eye.

"Miaocai, quickly escort Yuan Rang to the rear to rest! I'll cover you!" Xiahou Yuan heard such a shout from behind, turned around and saw that it was Li Wei who also came. It turned out that Fang Cai Li Wei led the second army to come here, and ordered Le Jin and Yu Ban to temporarily lead the army, and he came to the front of the battle and happened to see the scene of Cao Xing releasing arrows, and then he took out the flying bow and shot an arrow of revenge at Cao Xing.

"Brother, we ......!!!" Xiahou Yuan saw that the reinforcements had arrived, and he planned to pick up Xiahoudun and leave.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, everyone was shocked by Xiahoudun's actions, especially Li Wei, who knew history, watched the real scene happen in front of his eyes, and the shock was described by multiplication.

I saw Xiahoudun pull out the arrow, and there were still his eyes on it, which was completely bloody.

"Parents essence blood, how can you abandon !!" After Xiahoudun shouted loudly, he actually swallowed the eyeballs on the arrow into his mouth, and even chewed a few times before swallowing it, and took advantage of Cheng Lian's sluggishness to kill him.

The vanguard of the 50,000 Lu Bu army witnessed the killing of the main general Cheng Lian, and then Cao Xing, one of the deputy generals, was shot by Li Wei with an arrow, and immediately became a nest of chaos, even though Hou Cheng tried to suppress the chaos but failed. In the end, Hou Cheng only succeeded in returning to the camp with about 5,000 defeated soldiers to report the news of the defeat to Lü Bu, and the remaining 40,000 or so soldiers were either killed on the battlefield or captured by the Cao army.

After hearing the news of the death of Cheng Lian and Cao Xing from Hou Cheng's mouth, Lü Bu, who was still marching, chose to avoid the edge of Cao Cao's army in the Chen Palace, lifted Pei's siege and retreated to Xuzhou City, intending to use the strong city to dissipate the sharp spirit of Cao's army.

……

When Cao Cao came to Jibei with the rear army, he heard the news that Xiahoudun was injured and immediately rushed to Xiahoudun's camp. Under the explanation and assurance of the military medic craftsman, Cao Cao breathed a sigh of relief at Xiahoudun's injury. Subsequently, Cao Cao instructed his soldiers to arrange to escort Xiahoudun back to Xudu for treatment.

Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Li Dian and Yu Ban to each lead 5,000 soldiers and horses out of various counties and counties to shock the soldiers and horses of Lu Bu's army and prevent them from returning to Xuzhou.

After receiving the news, Lü Bu immediately sent Zhang Liao and Chen Gong to lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to Xiaoguan to take the town, if Xiaoguan was captured by Cao Cao, Xuzhou would be in no danger to defend.

At the same time, Lü Bu decided to personally lead the army to recapture Pei, leaving only Gao Shun, Chen Qi and the wealthy merchants of the Xuzhou Shi clan to garrison Xuzhou City.

"Father, Xuzhou depends on you. If Lu Bu is defeated and returns to Xuzhou City, he must be prevented from entering the city. In Chen's mansion, Chen Deng was dressed in a military uniform and said to Chen Qi.

"There are still Lu Bu's cronies and generals Gao Shun and 10,000 troops guarding in the city, if Lu Bu returns, I and the private soldiers of those rich merchants of the scholar clan alone are no match for the soldiers under Gao Shun's command. ”

"Father rest assured, his son has a plan to get away from Gao Shun. Chen Deng said.

On the eve of the expedition, Chen Deng asked Lü Bu to transfer the money and grain to Xiapi City as a way back for defeat, and Lü Bu felt justified after hearing this, and sent Wei Xu and Song Xian to escort Qian Liang's family to Xiapi City.

"Report to Lord Sikong, this is a secret letter from Chen Qi from Xuzhou. A soldier came to Cao Cao's horse with a letter and said.

"Lord, what's the news?" asked Guo Jia casually while sipping the wine in the jug.

"Xuzhou City has been controlled by Chen Qi and the wealthy merchants of the scholar clan in the city, and they are willing to surrender to me, as long as they ensure that their interests and status are not infringed upon. Cao Cao said with a happy smile.

"Congratulations to the lord!" the strategists and generals beside Cao Cao hugged their fists one after another.

"Only Xiao Guan is left......" Cao Cao muttered as he touched his short beard.

Three days later, Cao Cao once again received good news from Chen's father and son, Chen Deng used a trick to make Lü Bu mistakenly believe that Zhang Liao and Chen Gong stationed in Xiao Pass had surrendered to Cao Cao, and made Chen Gong and Zhang Liao believe that Lü Bu was dissatisfied with them, and then let the two armies fight and kill in the night, and he took advantage of the chaos to take control of Xiao Pass.

At this point, Lü Bu was left with only one Xiapi City......
