In the autumn of the third year of Jian'an, on July 14, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Cai Ji launched the first round of attacks on Xia Picheng after some total. Across the two ravines, the first to speak were five towering trebuchets. Unlike the man-powered trebuchet used by Yuan Shao under the city of Yijing, Cao Jun's trebuchet was equipped with a pivot that used to throw stones through guò, and the stones fired were not only large, but also far from the man-powered trebuchet. In addition, the trebuchets of the Cao army were equipped with four wheels on both sides to facilitate the gradual advance of the central city after the main army. Therefore, Cao Yingzhong also called this kind of trebuchet that fired like a thunderbolt "thunderbolt".

With a loud bang, a stone the size of a horse's head smashed an arrow tower on the first floor of the city in Xiapi, and then another stone projectile smashed a corner of the rammed earth wall. The successive rockfall attacks caught the defenders on the city by surprise, and Cao's army took advantage of this gap to quickly build several temporary pontoon bridges over the ravines with logs, dirt bags, and even corpses. In a short time, several teams of men and horses trampled on these pontoon bridges and approached the first wall.

Looking at the overwhelming attack of his men, Cao Cao proudly stroked his long beard on the one hand, and praised the young scribes around him on the other, "Yuan Ben originally had the technique of landslide and earth cracking, and he had a thunderbolt car alone. If it weren't for Ziyang's help, how could Lone get such a sharp weapon?"

At this moment, the young man who accepted Cao Cao's praise was Liu Ye and Liu Ziyang, the inventors of the thunderbolt car. It is said that when Liu Ye was committed to Yuan Shu's command, he also built various siege equipment for Yuan Shu to besiege Ruyang City. Although the siege equipment was finally destroyed by Cao's night attack, Liu Ye's talent left a deep impression on Cao Cao. Therefore, after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shu in Shouchun, he was busy sending people to find Liu Ye's traces.

However, Liu Ye sneaked back to his hometown in Huainan under the pretext of Yuan Shu's defeat in Suishui. Because Liu Ye is still related to the royal family of the Han family, it is said that he is the descendant of Liu Yan, the son of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, the king of Fuling. Therefore, after the local powerful Zheng Bao learned that Liu Ye had returned to his hometown, he wanted to coerce Liu Ye to stand on his own. Liu Ye, who is familiar with the overall situation of the world, will naturally not accept the invitation of such a local tyrant. Fortunately, at this time, Cao Cao's envoy visited Liu Ye's house, and Liu Ye took the opportunity to invite Zheng Bao into the mansion and arranged for a strong man to kill Zheng Bao during the banquet. But who would have thought that in the middle of the banquet, the originally arranged knife and axe hand did not dare to attack Zheng Bao because of fear. As a result, Liu Ye personally drew his sword and killed Zheng Bao on the spot, and used Cao Cao's prestige to subdue Zheng Bao's subordinates. Then he carried Zheng Bao's head and Cao Cao's envoy to Zheng Bao's camp to recruit his troops.

Liu Ye's talent and courage were very much in line with Cao Cao's spleen and stomach, so he was appointed to work as soon as he arrived in Xudu, and soon after developed the thunderbolt in front of him. At this time, in the face of Cao Cao's praise, Liu Ye seemed quite indifferent, but after seeing that he observed the battle situation in front of him, he asked Cao Cao about the lord in a timely manner, but he had to stop throwing stones. ”

Cao Cao listened to Liu Ye's question, and then looked at the soldiers and horses that had begun to attack the first layer of the city, and immediately nodded silently. After getting Cao Cao's approval, Liu Ye immediately willingly asked the trebuchet on the side to stop throwing stones. And this is an important signal for some people.

Between the swords and swords, the deafening shouts of killing resounded in the sky. The huge ladder was built up the city again and again, and was pushed down the city wall again and again by the soldiers who defended the city. In a short time, the city was already full of corpses. However, just as Cao's army was tirelessly attacking the city repeatedly, there was a sudden commotion under the city. But seeing a group of Cao cavalry with yellow cloth tied on their shoulders, they suddenly turned around and began to attack their colleagues. And the leader is Cao Xing.

As a rush of bowstrings sounded one after another, the sound of mournful screams and falling horses came and went around Cao Xing. No one can deny that Cao Xing's bow and arrow and equestrian skills have reached the realm of perfection. In the case of Cao Jun's deliberate release of water, this skill is even more miraculous.

"Open the door, open the door quickly, I am the captain Cao sex"

As Cao Xuan loudly declared his identity under the city gate, the defenders at the head of the city first looked tentatively, and then found Song Xian, who was responsible for defending the first layer of the city. Song Xian had also had some contact with Cao Xuan before, and at this moment, he saw Cao Xuan with a group of people shouting to enter the city. Hesitating, Song Xian couldn't help but open his mouth and ask, "Is the one who comes?" Haven't you surrendered to Cao Cao? ”

"It was Cao Mouwu who just deceived Cao Cao. Don't hurry up and open the door" Cao Xuan replied, and then drew his bow and shot over several Cao soldiers who were pursuing.

Seeing this, Song Xian at the head of the city no longer had any doubts, and even ordered someone to remove the sandbags blocking the city gate. As a small gap opened in the city gate, Cao Xing hurriedly pulled the reins and rode his horse in. And at the moment when he galloped into the city, he also turned his horse's head and slashed a Cao soldier who was in close pursuit.

"I have important military intelligence to report to the lord"

This was the first sentence Cao Xing said after entering the city. Although Song Xian didn't know why Cao Xing surrendered and rebelled, he was dazed by the trebuchet, and as soon as he heard that the other party had an important military intelligence report from Cao Jun, he immediately lifted his spirits, and without saying a word, he rushed to see Lu Bu with Cao Xing in a hurry.

At this time, Lu Bu was on the White Gate Tower, anxiously listening to the battle reports coming from everywhere with his staff. Cao's trebuchets, wells and other siege equipment brought a large number of casualties to the defenders of Xiapi. For Lu Bu, who had never had experience in defending the city before, it was somewhat unexpected that the loss on the first day of defending the city would be so heavy.

"No, I want to go out of the city to fight with Cao's army."

Lu Bu picked up Fang Tian's halberd and was about to go downstairs, but was blocked by Chen Gong on the side, "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient at this time, Cao Jun's morale is high, and if you rush out of the city to fight, I'm afraid it will outweigh the losses." If you wait for the Cao army to attack the city weakly, the lord will lead the troops to fight again, and he will be able to kill the Cao army and turn over on his back alone. ”

Lu Bu was persuaded by Chen Gong and couldn't help but hesitate for a moment. And at this moment, Song Xian took Cao Xing to the White Gate Tower. As soon as he saw Lu Bu holding the Fang Tian painting halberd, Cao Xing, who had mixed tastes in his heart, immediately stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Cao Xuan failed to keep Peng Cheng, and I ask the lord to forgive me." ”

Lu Bu looked at the subordinates in front of him who were said to have surrendered to Cao Cao in surprise, and blurted out, "Seek it, you?" ”

Cao Xuan lowered his head and replied, "Back to the lord, my subordinates pretend to ask Cao Cao to fight as a vanguard. After the soldiers arrived at the city, their subordinates took the opportunity to flee back to the city with their henchmen. ”

After listening to Cao Xing's narration of such a twist and turn, Lu Bu and Chen Gong glanced at each other in unison. Song Xian, who was on the side, was busy adding for Cao Xing, "My lord, General Cao has inquired about important military information in Cao Ying. ”

As soon as Lu Bu heard that Cao Xuan had an important military situation of Cao Jun, his eyes suddenly flashed, and then he stepped forward to help Cao Xuan with a smile on his face, and comforted, "Mouzhi has suffered." Cao's army is powerful, and the defeat of Pengcheng cannot be blamed. But I didn't know that the detectives heard the news of Cao Jun? ”

Cao Xing saw that Lu Bu was appeased, and on the other hand, he was anxious to inquire about Cao Jun's military situation, knowing that the reason why Lu Bu did not have a crime to treat, and he did not suspect it, it was mostly for the sake of the military situation. Thinking of the fact that he had worked hard in Pengcheng but couldn't wait for reinforcements, and then he was almost killed, Cao Xingdang even stood up and reported to Lu Buyu, "Back to the lord, it is said that his subordinates know that Cao's army is short of food and grass at the moment, and he can't besiege the city for a long time. However, he transferred a batch of grain and grass from Xudu and is transporting it here, and according to Cao Ying's statement, it will arrive in about three days. ”

When Lu Buer heard that Cao Jun's food and grass were poor, he was first overjoyed, and then when he heard that Cao Jun's baggage would arrive in three days, he couldn't help but have a plan, and asked, "Can you know which way Cao Jun's baggage is going?" ”

Cao Cao paid for himself to pacify the counties of Xuzhou, and was in a hurry to replenish grain and grass. Therefore, Cao Jun will most likely take the official road. Cao Xuan responded according to Cao Cao's previous explanation.

When Lu Bu heard that Cao Jun would take the official road, he was so excited that he looked up to the sky and laughed, God helped, I just burned that batch of grain and grass alone, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Cai Ji and others did not obediently retreat. ”

However, just when Lu Bu was proud, Chen Gong once again stepped forward to stop him, "My lord, I'm afraid this matter is fraudulent."

"Is the consciousness of plotting to deceive orphans?" Lu Bu glanced at Chen Gong, and then at Song Xian and Cao Xing. I saw Song Xian staring at Cao Xing, and Cao Xing was looking at his nose and nose and heart.

In the face of Lu Bu's questioning, Chen Gong did not question Cao Xing's identity, but shook his head and analyzed, "Cao Ah is treacherous and cunning. The lord should use General Cao to set a trap and deceive. ”

But it could also be true. If Lone was afraid of Cao Cao's tricks and did not rob the baggage, wouldn't he have wasted the opportunity to defeat the enemy in vain? Lu Bu asked reluctantly.

And Song Xian on the side also echoed, "The lord's words are reasonable. Whether it's true or not, it's better to try than not to try. ”

Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu and his subordinates were quite enthusiastic about the robbery, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart. However, Chen Gong also knew that Guang was guarding like this, and with the morale of Lu Bu's army, it would be a matter of time before Xiapi City fell. Out of the idea of a dead horse being a live horse doctor, Chen Gong took a step back and said, "If the lord wants to fight." You can send a capable cadre out of the city to rob the baggage and try the authenticity. ”

Lu Bu stubbornly refused, "No." Lone wants to personally lead the troops to rob the baggage. ”

Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu had a donkey temper again, so he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "The lord is a big matter, how can the lord take the risk lightly."

But Lu Bu frowned and questioned Chen Gong, "I have repeatedly persuaded Gu to take a foot to stay outside the city before. Today, he refuses to let Lone out of the city to fight? ”

It's okay that Lu Bu didn't ask, this question can be regarded as making Chen Gong's face flush with anger. It must be known that long before the combined forces of Cao, Liu, and Cai came to Picheng, Chen Gong once offered advice to Lu Bu and said, "Cao Cao is far away, and he can't stay too long." If the lord leads the infantry and cavalry to garrison outside the city, the palace will lead the rest of the army to defend the city inside, and if the Cao army attacks the lord, the palace will lead the troops to attack his back; If Cao's army attacked the city, the lord could come to the rescue. In less than a month, Cao's army ran out of food, and the lord counterattacked again, which could break the enemy. ”

Lü Bu first accepted Chen Gong's proposal, intending to leave Chen Gong and Gao Shun in the city to defend the city, and led the cavalry to cut off Cao's army's grain route. But who would have thought that after Lu Bu's wife and concubine heard the news, they blew the pillow wind to Lu Bu and said, "Chen Gong and Gao Shun have always been at odds, once the husband leaves the city, Chen Gong and Gao Shun will definitely not be able to work together to defend the city." In case something happens, where will the husband stand. Moreover, Cao Cao treated Chen Gong with great courtesy, and Chen Gong also abandoned Cao Cao and dedicated the land of Yizhou to his husband. The husband treated Chen Gong before Cao Cao, so he handed over the whole city to this person, left his wife and children, and went out alone. Isn't the husband afraid of repeating Cao Cao's mistakes? ”

Lu Bu was originally a suspicious and indecisive person, and when he was said like this, he thought of the relationship between Chen Gong and Cao Cao, and he did not leave the city immediately after hesitation. However, the combined forces of Cao, Liu, and Cai would not give Lu Bu much to think about, and when he delayed, the army of the three parties was already under the city of Pi. And the strategy formulated by Chen Gong before has no conditions for implementation.

At this moment, seeing that Lu Bu actually questioned what happened last time, how could Chen Gong not be angry. But he saw that he flicked his long sleeves and scolded Lu Bu angrily, "The general believed the woman's words last time and did not adopt the palace's strategy, so he lost the opportunity to set up the formation. Now Cao, Liu, and Cai have besieged the city, and if the general leaves the city at this moment, he will really become a 'lone army'."

When Lu Buer heard Chen Gong talk about the loss of the fighter plane due to the pillow wind of his wife and concubine, he was immediately ashamed and angry, and his face turned red. In fact, after seeing the tripartite army of Cao, Liu, and Cai arrive in Xiapi, Lu Bu deeply regretted his previous hesitation. But he is a very good-looking person, although he knows that he blames Chen Gong, he refuses to apologize to Chen Gong, and he refuses to admit that he is so hesitant because he listens to his wife and concubine. Besides, he Lu Bu is a dignified and unsuccessful general, how ugly it is to be obedient and soft-eared.

But at this time, Chen Gong pierced Lu Bu's weakness in front of all the generals. So in annoyance, Lu Bu immediately shouted, "Enough is enough, Gu decided to personally lead the troops out of the city to rob and burn Cao's baggage." At this time, there is no need to discuss it anymore, even if Cao Cao really sets a trap outside the city, he will definitely be able to kill him without leaving a piece of armor with his lonely martial arts."

Lu Bu's drink can be regarded as a startled surprise to the generals and generals present. Song Xian and the others are certainly Lu Bu's martial arts, and they want to take this opportunity to give it a go. In the face of such a fierce roar, Chen Gong completely lost his confidence in Lu Bu and hope for the future. Thinking of what he had done to follow Lu Bu over the years, Chen Gong suddenly had an urge to laugh out loud. However, he didn't laugh out loud in the end. Because he was afraid that he would laugh worse than cry. Even more because he felt that the man in front of him was no longer worth giving any more expression. Therefore, Chen Gong just bowed to Lu Bu silently, then turned around and walked down the White Gate Tower without looking back.

Cao Xing looked at Chen Gong's bleak back, and his heart was also full of emotion. Once upon a time, Cao Xing thought that Lu Bu was a powerhouse unparalleled in the world. I feel that following such warriors with invincible courage will definitely be able to achieve great achievements. However, at this moment, Cao Xing had doubts about the standard of the strong all along. Is force really a powerful person? Cao Cao and Liu Bei's martial arts are far inferior to Lu Bu, and they are not even comparable. And that female assassin Shi Cai Anzhen is even more powerless. But in Cao Xing's eyes, they were all stronger than Lu Bu. The era of the god of war is coming to an end, and the era of kings is coming.

After thinking about Lu Bu's positioning for a long time, he finally decided to write it according to the descriptions of "Three Kingdoms" and "Qualification Tongjian". I don't want to grandlist this person too much, and I don't want to be too ugly. If you want to see Shen Lu Bu, Jian yì went to watch "Fire Phoenix Liaoyuan".
