Chapter 263: Leaving the Fox

Lu Bu failed to do his best in a half-way crossing, Xiahou Yuan had already gained a firm foothold on the riverbank, Cao Cao waved his big hand, and all the troops came out together, and hundreds of boats raced to cross, and soon stood on the other side of the Pushui riverbank.

Pu Shui He is still surging, but the river is full of remnants of boats, sampans, and robes with blood and arrows that rise and fall in the waves.

"The short song is broken and the silver kettle is missing, and I often remember the martyrs of the year. I heard that after Wang Deyu's soldiers went down to Chang'an, they built a high tower on the outskirts of Chang'an, called the Martyrs' Tower, to pay tribute to all the warriors who sacrificed their lives for the country? Zhongde, when we settle down in the Central Plains, let's also build a martyr's bridge here! Looking at the corpses floating on the surface of the river and the red blood, Cao Cao sighed, confessed to Cheng Yu, and turned to the scout in front of him.

"Lord Qiqi, there is no Lu Bu ambush in the dense forest ahead!"

"Lord Qi, there are a few stumbling ropes and traps hidden in the dense forest ahead, which have been destroyed by us and others!"

Cao Cao was already a soldier, how could he make the mistake of making a rash attack again? Listening to the scouts' successive reports, Cao Cao nodded to Xiahou Yuan and the others, and the 40,000-strong army regained its strength and chased all the way along the footsteps of Lu Bu and his party.

After the dense forest, and walked more than ten miles, just turned the hill, and saw a county town towering a few miles in front of it, and it was the northernmost city of Jiyin County.

Lihu, the county of the Western Han Dynasty. It has been recorded in the "Taiping Huanyu Ji": the old legend of the first county in Pushui South, often pierced by the fox, and then moved (city) Pushui North, so it is said to be away from the fox.

The city has long been in full swing, hunting with banners. Obviously, Lu Bu's army has entered Lihu City and has redeployed Lihu's defense.

"Cao Mengde, come out and answer!" Watching Cao Cao's army march quickly, Lu Bu stood on the city wall and looked at the city from afar, and a loud shout resounded through the three armies.

Cao Cao rode a blue-maned horse and slowly walked to the front of the battle: "Lu Fengxian, this general has nothing to do with you, what did you call this general out?" But want to surrender to General Ben? ”

Surrender?

I, Lu Fengxian, beat the heroes of the world with a Fang Tian painting halberd, how can I surrender to you Cao Cao? If it weren't for the plan of Wen Xian's livelihood and temporarily made a false deal with you, Lao Tzu would have gone down to the city and cut off your head now!

Lu Bu was stunned when he heard this, and he almost didn't turn his back on it: "Cao Mengde, since you said that I have nothing to do with you, then why do you bother to force each other to the death?" Did General Ben kill your father, or did General Ben take your wife and children?

Cao Mengde, you chased hundreds of miles back and forth from Dingtao to here, and the general remembered that he had some cause and effect with you in the past in Chang'an, and repeatedly retreated, but you pressed forward step by step. In vain, you were born in a family of eunuchs, don't you hear the truth of being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other well in the future? General Ben is kind to advise, you must not be a deaf ear, otherwise..."

"How else?" With a bang, the green sword in his waist came out of its sheath, and Cao Cao Yao pointed to the head of the city and roared loudly, "Lu Fengxian, this general does not have much contact with you, but this general and you have a bitter hatred, a toothless hatred."

In the past, General Ben was sitting in Yanzhou, and you colluded with the traitors Zhang Miao, Chen Gong and others under the command of General Ben to attack Jiyin, Chen Liu, Dongjun and other places, and invited yourself to be the state pastor. A few years ago, you crossed the Pushui River halfway and caused the death of many men in our army.

The hatred of seizing the land, the hatred of killing my robe, is not shared. Tell me for yourself, isn't that hatred? What's more, you Lu Feng first risked the disapproval of the world, joined the thief Dong Zhuo in front, supported the puppet emperor Chen to take in the poisoner Li Ru in the back, and was willing to be cheap for the tiger, everyone was punished for it, so why do you need any hatred? ”

Lu Bu was furious, and Fang Tian's halberd slammed into the city, showing his rebelliousness: "Cao Mengde, you have a bad stomach."

Water, Hugh wants to speak so noblely. At the beginning, when you and Wang Deyu attacked Chang'an together under the banner of so-called justice, General Ben had nothing to say.

It's a pity, you Cao Mengde want to annex the Wang family army to do that treacherous thing, and meet with Lu to make an appointment with the same enemy Wang Deyu, what face do you have today to say that this general, it's just fifty steps and a hundred steps, in vain you to read poetry and books but towards Qin Dusk, live off the wall grass style, shame is not ashamed! ”

Cheng Yu, Xiahou Yuan and the others suddenly changed their faces, Cao Cao waved his hand, and laughed loudly: "Chao Wen Dao, Xi can die." Lu Fengxian, General Ben is now also fully enlightened and re-serving His Majesty. What do you think? General Ben asks you again, are you willing to change your past mistakes and return to the righteous embrace of my Cao Army? ”

"The surname Cao, let go of your Spring and Autumn fart, do you think General Ben doesn't know how empty your seven-trick exquisite heart is?" A trace of ridicule appeared on Lu Bu's face, and he pointed at Cao Cao and sneered, "The surname Cao, when you say this, you are not afraid that your dead Captain Cao will be woken up by your laughter?" ”

"Siege!"

This time, Cheng Yu and Xiahou Yuan stabilized their minds, but Cao Cao was already so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, and the Qingyu sword in his hand swung forward violently, roaring angrily, and the army rushed towards the city like an arrow.

Xiahou Yuan took the lead, Xiahou Xuan, Yu Ban, and Zhang Xiu followed, and Cao Hong and Dian Wei, as well as Cao Ang, Xiahou Lan and other small characters were closely guarding Cao Cao's side.

It will be the courage of the army, and the soldiers are the roots of the army.

If the gall is out, how can the root remain where it is? Several flags engraved with the generals flew out of the formation, and more than 20,000 soldiers let out a roar, stepping on a neat and sonorous pace, and the spears and broadswords in their hands were dragged to the ground, stirring up boundless dust and smoke, like a monstrous wave in the water behind them.

Flying locusts and boulders slapped the field, and arrows rained and meteors filled the fox.

Cao Cao originally thought that there would be an encounter between Juyang, Chengyang, or Chengshi and Lu Bu when he came out this time, and he didn't have any other siege equipment except for a few cloud ladders. However, although he didn't have it, Lu Bu did, and there were already more than a dozen small stone throwers, dozens of bed crossbows, thousands of crossbows, and thousands of rhubarb crossbows on the head of the city.

At the sound of an order, a stone-throwing machine shook its arm, and a hundred and ten boulders had risen into the air, and rows of bed crossbows, crossbows, and rhubarb crossbows were loosened, and thousands of sharp arrows also galloped down.

Flying locusts are like rain, and falling rocks are like snow.

When crossing the water twice, Cao Jun chose a place with a wide riverbed, and there was no majestic waves crashing on the shore. However, at this moment, the sky above Lihu was like a storm on the shore, rolling up thousands of piles of snow and thousands of piles of blood.

Xiahou Yuan slashed the boulder above his head with a knife, shook his arm, and shouted angrily at the athletes under his command.

Whoever retreats will kill him; Ten people who retreated, killed the tun chief; Hundreds of people who retreat will be killed! Sons, kill! ”

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

The armies held their shields high above their heads, roared in unison, and rushed towards Lihu without avoiding the arrow stone in their hands.

……

At that moment, after a day's tug-of-war fighting, the soldiers on both sides were already exhausted, wrapped in quilts and hay and falling asleep.

Cao Cao and his advisors had not yet slept, and they were still discussing how to conquer the small county town in front of them the next day.

Lu Bu also did not rest, he was at this time with Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, as well as the deputy generals Wei Yue, Li Feng, Zhu Yi, Lihu garrison Xu Yan,

Zhang Miao's lieutenant Liu Yi and Dong Wan and others sat in the Lihu County Yazhong.

"Meng Zhuo, Meng Gao, it has been two days and one night since yesterday, do you think Your Majesty is about to arrive at the White Horse?" Lu Bu took out a letter from his arms, glanced at it and handed it to Zhang Miao and the others.

Zhang Miao took the letterhead and hurriedly read it, handed the letterhead to Zhang Chao, nodded and said: "Since Wenyou and Gongtai have already made contact with Benchu, then I will wait for the whole army tonight and go quickly."

As for Your Majesty, I believe that with Wen You and Gongtai pressing the formation, Your Majesty will definitely not let Dong Cheng and Fu Wan act recklessly. Presumably they will hurry up, and now it should be almost Baimajin! ”

Lu Bu bowed his head, looked at the generals and shouted: "In this case, then I will change clothes with the strong people in the city tonight to make them guard the fox, and plant straw men in this city, so I will set up a suspicious array to confuse Cao Thief." Cao Cao's army is at the east and south gates, and it is already a moment of time, and I will sneak out of the north gate at three o'clock and go straight to the white horse! ”

Under the suppression of Lu Bu and Zhang Miao, the people in the city had to obediently change their clothes and armor with the original Lihu City Guard, and stood at the head of Lihu City.

Lu Bu glanced at the city, and saw that Cao Cao's camp in the distance was still calm and quiet, but the "soldiers" at the head of the city were silent, so he turned around and walked down the city and came to Lihu County.

The streets and alleys in front of the county government were already full of people, including his and Zhang Miao brothers, as well as the soldiers who defended the city from Lihu, about 20,000 people, all of whom were horse unloading rings.

Lu Bu nodded with satisfaction, Fang Tian's halberd swung violently, and the 20,000 army quietly disappeared outside the north gate in the hazy moonlight.

……

At three o'clock, a "veteran" at the head of the city saw that it was already quiet, and Lu Bu's army was nowhere to be seen, so he hurriedly took out a piece of white paper from his arms and tied it firmly to the arrow, and unloaded the arrow, and shot an arrow at the city with a bow while people were not paying attention.

The arrow flew out of the darkness like a black ghost, and landed far behind the patrol soldiers of the Cao army under the city, and with a "snap", it woke up the sleeping night!

Cao Jun camp.

"Report!"

As the proclamation sounded, a rush of footsteps sounded outside the tent. Cao Cao, who had just finished the pre-military meeting and agreed on tomorrow's combat policy, straightened up from a carp on the marching bed and turned over: "Zhongde, what's the matter?" ”

Cheng Yu handed a piece of news in his hand to Cao Cao and looked at him with a spring breeze on his face: "Congratulations to the lord, congratulations to the lord." Just now, when the soldiers were patrolling the city, someone shot the news at their feet from the city. It is believed that Lu Bu and the others have abandoned the city and fled at three o'clock in the morning, and the soldiers of Lihu County have been included in the main public account! ”

Bloodless? What are the athletes who died in the city during the day?

Cao Cao glanced at Cheng Yu, flipped over the paper in his hand and looked at it over and over, but his heart was full of doubts: "What I said in my heart is true?" ”

"Exactly!" Cheng Yu nodded and replied solemnly, "I have just asked Yuan Rang to dismiss the people in the city and shoot dozens of arrows, and I found that the soldiers in the city who were hit by the arrows did not make a sound, there should be no doubt that they are straw men!" ”

"There won't be a fake?"

"Weichen dares to make a military order!"

Cao Cao glared at Cheng Yu, thought for a moment, and finally made up his mind, waved his big hand, and shouted: "Okay!" Since this is the case, Cao Ang and Xiahou Lan led an army of 3,000 to leave the fox, and the rest of the people will immediately set off to hunt down and kill Lu Bu! ”

"No!"
