"It's been a very cold winter...... "Levy said as he rubbed his hands in front of the fire in the tent, rubbing his hands. There was a gap in the door of the tent for ventilation, and he didn't want to die of lack of oxygen.

If you open the tent and look outside, you can only see a white snowy scene.

In the third year of Jian'an, in November, Cao Cao led his army to the east to conquer Xuzhou, but Lu Bu went out of the city to meet but was lost by the Chen father and son in the city Xuzhou City and Xiaoguan, and had to retreat to Xiapi City.

In order to prevent Yuan Shu from sending troops to aid Lü Bu, Cao Cao asked Liu Bei's three brothers to guard the Huainan Trail with soldiers and horses, and led his troops to attack and besiege Xiapi City.

Although Xiapi City was surrounded like an iron barrel, Lu Bu was not afraid, relying on the abundant grain and grass and strong city to defend it, and the two armies could not confront each other.

……

"Caught Lu Bu's envoy?" Cao Cao asked in surprise as he listened to the report of Sun Gan sent by Liu Bei.

"Yes, Sikong-sama. Those two envoys were Xu Yan and Wang Kai, who were sent by Lü Bu to form an alliance with Yuan Shu, and after my lord's interrogation, I learned that Lü Bu wanted to renew the marriage covenant with Yuan Shu. Sun Qian reported.

"Hmm...... Got it. Thank you for your hard work, please go down and rest. Cao Cao said with a pleasant face.

"Thank you, Lord Sikong. After Sun Qian agreed, he withdrew from the tent.

"Lord, Lu Bu should know that the matter is exposed, and he must beware of him breaking through from Xiapi City. Guo Jia waved his hands.

"Filial piety is justified. The herald ordered all gates to be on strict guard, and then ordered Liu Bei to guard the main roads in Huainan and not let Lu Bu go. After listening to Guo Jia's advice, Cao Cao said.

"No!" everyone bowed in response.

Sure enough, on the fourth day, Xu Huang found Lü Bu, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun trying to break out of the encirclement at the south gate.

……

"Lord Taishan, is it going according to the previous plan?" asked Cao Bao in Xiapi City, a potter who was idle at home.

"Well, just go according to plan. The virtuous son-in-law can send his henchmen to quietly leave from the east gate to deliver a letter to Cao Ying, and the old man will let his lieutenants go out of the city. Cao Leopard said.

At the same time, in order to buy the rich local scholars in Xuzhou, in addition to the Mi clan who had taken refuge in Liu Bei, the remaining representatives of the scholar clan, Chen Qi and Chen Deng, the head of the Chen family, and Cao Bao, the head of the Cao family, were all entrusted with important tasks, and Cao Bao was still leading his headquarters soldiers and horses. This time he was besieged by Cao Cao, and Cao Bao was assigned by Lu Bu to defend the east gate, so there was the above dialogue.

That night, a man quietly left the east gate and ran towards Cao Ying.

"Who is the messenger sent by the potter?" In the handsome tent, Cao Cao, who had already rested, heard that someone in the city had come to surrender to Cheng, so he naturally planned to get up to greet him, but before he met the messenger, he found that he did not know the person who surrendered to Cheng, so he asked Xun Yu one by one.

"If Yu's guess is correct, this person should be Tao Qian's eldest son, a pottery merchant. Xun Yu thought for a while and said.

"It's him...... Let people in. After Cao Cao said he understood, he shouted outside the tent.

"Ren Tao Da has seen Lord Sikong. After the person entered the tent, he immediately made a big salute to Cao Cao and said.

"Tao Da, what does your master Tao Shang have to convey to Gu?" Cao Cao asked with a stern expression.

"Lord Sikong, the master only asked people to convey this letter to Lord Sikong and wait for the reply of the lord. Tao handed over a letter with both hands and said.

After Cao Cao took the letter from Xun Yu's hand, he opened it and saw that it was a letter of surrender from the potter and Cao Bao.

"Tao Da, you go to the camp tent on the side to rest for the time being. After the lonely has consulted, he will give your Lord an answer. After Cao Cao read the letter, he said to Tao Dao.

"Man obeys. After Tao Da promised, he withdrew from the handsome account. Cao Cao ordered his soldiers to pass a group of strategists and important generals to the tent, and after a while, everyone came to the tent one after another, still carrying the cold of winter. After everyone stood up, Xun Yu told everyone what happened.

"Lord, I don't know what is in the letter?" asked Guo Jia.

"The potter and Cao Bao were willing to surrender to the imperial court, the potter asked to serve as the governor of Xuzhou, and Cao Bao asked to continue to hold the military power of the soldiers and horses in his headquarters; Cao Cao said.

"My lord, I thought I could agree to the request of the two. After all, if the army stagnates in Xuzhou for a day, it will consume more than one day of military grain and grass. Xun You was the first to come out of the ranks.

"Yu, I'm afraid that this is Chen Gong's trick to surrender......" Cheng Yu's words were interrupted by Guo Jia before he finished speaking.

"Zhongde was too worried. Jia heard that Tao Shang's son was originally Tao Qian's intended successor to Xuzhou Mu, but Liu Bei had many complaints after serving as Xuzhou Mu, and he always felt that Liu Bei was the reason for bewitching Tao Qian. Although Liu Bei gritted his teeth against the potters, Tao Qian had been running Xuzhou for many years and had won the hearts of the people, so Liu Bei could not do anything bad to the potters; after Lu Bu became the pastor of Xuzhou, he moved the potters' family from Xuzhou to Xiapi to reduce the influence of the potters in Xuzhou City. Guo Jiadao.

After a group of advisers, Cao Cao decided to accept the surrender of the Tao merchant and Cao Bao, and then asked Tao Da to bring back his reply to the other party.

……

Under the white gate of the east gate of Xiapi City, Lu Bu, Chen Gong, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were all tied up and knelt on the ground.

After the potter and Cao Bao received Cao Cao's affirmative reply, they began to arrange the internal affairs one by one. After the arrangement was made, the potter sent Tao Dawei as a messenger to convey the day and time when the city gate would be opened.

After receiving the information from the pottery merchants, Cao Cao arranged for the elite soldiers to be transferred to the camp at the East Gate, and left Xiahou Yuan, Xu Huang and Yu Ban to lead their troops and horses to guard the remaining three gates to prevent Lü Bu from escaping.

On the night of the meeting between the two parties, the east gate was slowly opened, and at the same time, the agreed vote was sent from the city tower. Cao Cao personally led a large army into the city and began to sweep the Lü Bu army in the city.

Wei Xu, who was guarding the west gate, saw the fire at the east gate and felt that Lü Bu had gone to the big picture, so he drove open the west gate and surrendered to Xiahou Yuan; Song Xian and Hou Cheng led their troops and horses to fight with Cao's army in the streets, and were captured alive and surrendered after the defeat; Zang Ba and Dian Wei met unexpectedly and were defeated by the latter, admired Dian Wei's martial arts and reputation, and chose to surrender.

Gao Shun protected Lü Bu's family in the city, but was defeated by Xu Chu and was captured alive; Zhang Liao had been guarding the north gate, hoping to keep a way out for Lü Bu, but he was captured alive by Lü Qian, Yu Ban and Cao Bao Li Yingwai, and the north gate fell; as for the south gate guarded by Lü Bu, he was naturally surrounded by the most powerful opponent in his life, the thousand tiger cavalry and tiger and leopard cavalry led by Li Wei.

In the end, Lü Bu was defeated by Li Wei, captured and tied up at the bottom of the White Gate at the East Gate. As for Chen Gong, he may have known the outcome of the defeat early in the morning, and calmly stayed in his mansion and waited for Cao Jun to tie him up to the White Gate Tower.

Lü Bu wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, but although the latter was moved, Cheng Yu was dissuaded by the fate of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo, Lü Bu was beheaded downstairs at the White Gate, and the greedy wolf star fell. Cao Cao has never forgotten the fact that Chen Gong explained himself in Zhongmu in the past, and planned to persuade the other party to surrender, but Chen Gong went directly to the place where Lu Bu was beheaded, and knelt there without saying a word, obviously unwilling to surrender, and bent on begging for death.

"The relatives of the public should be raised by their relatives. Go with peace of mind. In the end, Cao Cao only said this to Chen Gong, who had a reassuring smile on his face, and then calmly went to his death.

Now only Gao Shun and Zhang Liao remained, and at this moment, Gao Shun stood up directly, and then walked to the place where Lu Bu and Chen Gong died.

"Gao Boping is bent on death, does he want to be an unfaithful and unrighteous person?" At this time, Li Wei walked out and said to Gao Shun.

"Li Anmin has to slander the general! If you want to die, how can you be disloyal and unjust?" Gao Shun turned around and asked in a loud voice.

"Who is Gao Boping loyal to?" asked Li Wei.

"Since my lord Lu Fengxian!" Gao Shun said with his chest held high.

"Since this is the case, you are an unfaithful person! Now that the Han family is still alive, my lord is a court official, and he supports the Son of Heaven to beg for disobedience! Since you are loyal to Lu Bu, you are naturally an unfaithful person!" Li Wei's words made Gao Shun stunned, because this was very reasonable.

Although the Han family is weak, Emperor Han Xian is still on the throne, and he is also the last heir of Emperor Ling of Han, and the unification of the Han family naturally falls on him.

Now Lu Bu is dead, but his family is still alive. Since you claim to be loyal to Lu Bu, are you willing to watch Lu Bu's family being bullied?" Without waiting for Gao Shun to react, Li Wei's words gave him another slap in the face.

"A certain wish to surrender...... But!" Gao Shun lowered his head and thought for a while, then glanced up at Cao Cao, then looked at Li Wei, and then said, It's just another turn in the middle of the conversation.

"I'm not descending to Cao, I'm not descending to Han, I'm descending to you, Li Wei! If you can ensure that Lu Fengxian's family is safe, Gao Boping is willing to surrender and serve as your general!" Gao Shun's words can be amazing. Although Li Wei is now a former general, he is not yet qualified to open a mansion, so if Gao Shun really surrenders under his command, he can really only serve as a general.

"Okay! Gu Dai Li Wei agreed to your request! Gu ordered his own soldiers to escort Lu Bu's family to Xudu and place them to live next to Li Wei's mansion!" Cao Cao's answer finally made Gao Shun kneel down and salute Li Wei as a family general.

Perhaps Zhang Liao on the side was also convinced by Li Wei's words, but after asking Cao Cao to treat Lu Bu's family well, he then surrendered to Cao Cao.

Perhaps in order to buy off the loyalty of Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, Cao Cao handed over all the Fang Tian painting halberds and red rabbit horses that Lu Bu had made before his death to Li Wei and let him deal with them himself.

Li Wei saw that Gao Shun was also a military general who used a halberd, and he was his own general, so he gave Fang Tian's halberd to Gao Shun. After the latter got the old master's weapon, he mixed joy and sorrow but accepted it.

Li Wei also transferred the red rabbit horse to Zhang Liao, but the latter rejected Li Wei's kindness, so Li Wei is now a local tyrant general who rides two horses with one foot.
