After Cao's army had recuperated for a night, Cao Cao launched an attack on Pengcheng the next day.

Because the father and son of the Chen family were stationed at the south gate, Cao Cao attacked Pengcheng with his main force at the west gate to attract Liu Bei's attention, and on the south gate, Xiahou led the division to go.

As the main force of the Cao army attacked the west gate of Pengcheng at night, Liu Bei hurriedly took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to the west gate to resist.

When the Cao army attacked fiercely for a while, Liu Bei found that the offensive of the Cao army had not slowed down at all, so he transferred Cao Bao's troops to support.

At this time, Chen Gui and Chen Deng, father and son, opened the city gate at the south gate for Xiahoudun's partial division.

When Xiahoudun saw that the south gate had been opened, he immediately led Cao's army into the city.

As Xiahou Dun's troops entered Pengcheng, Pengcheng suddenly fell into a chaotic situation.

When Liu Bei learned that Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son actually opened the south gate to let Cao Jun enter the city, Liu Bei immediately understood that the general trend had gone.

In desperation, Liu Bei had to order a breakthrough.

Liu Bei's breakthrough order, the soldiers in Pengcheng suddenly became a mess, because there were still Tao Qian's old troops among them.

Seeing this situation, Liu Bei didn't have the strength to organize, after all, it was important to escape.

Soon, Liu Bei took Guan Zhang and the others to the north to break through.

As for Cao Bao, he resisted for a while and also ordered to surrender.

After pacifying Pengcheng, Cao Cao immediately summoned Chen Gui and Chen Deng's father and son and promised him a position to reassure him.

As for Cao Bao, although he also surrendered to Cao Cao, he did not take the initiative to sacrifice the city after all, so he was not valued by Cao Cao at all.

Cao Bao, who was despised by Cao Cao, suddenly felt hatred, which also laid a hidden danger for his rebellion against Cao Cao.

Besides, after the three brothers of Liu Guan and Zhang broke through, Liu Bei immediately took Guan and Zhang and the others to Xiapi.

At this time, Lu Bu also led the remnants back to Xiapi.

When Wei Yue saw Lu Bu returning, he immediately opened the city gate and let Lu Bu enter the city.

When Chen Gong learned that Lu Bu had actually led the defeated army back, he immediately rushed to the city gate to greet Lu Bu.

When Lu Bu saw Chen Gong, he was immediately angry, because it was Chen Gong who tried his best to let him send troops.

Annoyed, Lu Buli ignored Chen Gong's shouts and left alone.

When Chen Gong saw Lu Bu angry at him, he immediately stabbed Zhang Liao in confusion and asked, "General Wenyuan, what's wrong with the lord?" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Liao was very helpless and told Chen Gong about Pengcheng.

Chen Gong was also helpless when he heard this, but who called Lu Bu his lord, so he could only endure it.

Besides, after Cao Cao took Pengcheng, he immediately summoned his ministers and said: "Everyone, now that Pengcheng has been conquered, Liu Bei has been defeated and fled, and only Lu Bu of Xiapi and Zang Ba of Kaiyang are left in Xuzhou. ”

"Zang Ba has Cao Hong on his side, he won't be able to come to Xiapi for a while, we only need to conquer Lu Bu now and go back to destroy Zang Ba, by then, the six counties of Xuzhou will all belong to me, I don't know if you have a way to break Lu Bu?"

Hearing Cao Cao say this, Chen Dengjin, who had just descended, said: "My lord, Lu Bu is assisted by Chen Gong, and if you want to break Lu Bu, you must separate these two." ”

"What is Yuanlong's plan?"

"Back to the lord, Lu Bu is stubborn and self-serving, the lord only needs to write a letter to Chen Gong to ask him to surrender, then Lu Bu must be suspicious of Chen Gong, as long as the two of them have a dislike, the lord's army will take Pi Ru to probe and take things."

"The patriarch is a good plan! That's it! ”

"Pass on my military order and order the army to march west immediately."

As Cao Cao's military order was handed down, the main force of Cao's army immediately rushed to Xiapi.

When Lü Bu received the news of Cao's attack, he immediately dispatched his troops to assemble in Xiapi.

At the same time, Lu Bu also sent people to ask Zang Ba and Yuan Shu for help.

After Cao Cao's army approached Pi, Cao Cao immediately wrote a letter of persuasion to Chen Gong in accordance with Chen Deng's strategy.

When Chen Gong first received Cao Cao's letter of persuasion, Lu Bu also rushed over when he heard the news, because Cao Cao also deliberately leaked the news at the same time.

When Lu Bu saw the letter in Chen Gong's hand, he immediately said angrily: "Wow! Chen Gongtai, didn't you tell me that you hated Cao Cao very much? Why do you have Cao Mengde's letters? ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he hurriedly replied: "Lord, the minister doesn't know?" ”

"Hugh has to quibble, write to me."

Chen Gong was not afraid of shadows, so he immediately handed over the letter as soon as he heard it.

Lu Bu took the letter and opened it to read it.

When Lu Bu saw that many key places on the letter had been smeared, he immediately pointed to the letter and questioned Chen Gong: "Chen Gongtai, I trust you so much, I didn't expect you to lie to me before, come and push Chen Gong out and behead me." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liao and the others dissuaded one after another, after all, Chen Gong was the only advisor under Lu Bu.

And when Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu really wanted to cut himself, he immediately said: "I, Chen Gong, am loyal to the lord, if the lord wants to kill me, even if he takes my head, this letter must be Cao Cao's discordant plan." ”

Hearing Chen Gong say this, the generals of Lu Bu led by Zhang Liao also followed suit.

Seeing this, Lu Bu immediately hesitated.

In the end, Lu Bu still relented and spared Chen Gong's life, but Lu Bu's heart was already completely distrustful of Chen Gong.

Immediately after, Lu Bu left directly with the generals.

When Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu had completely distrusted him, he suddenly thought to himself: 'Abominable Cao, I will not give up being your enemy!' ’

Besides, after Cao Cao sent the letter of disagreement, he only started to tentatively launch an attack on Xia Picheng after an interval of one day.

Lu Bu, who had lost trust in the Chen Palace, immediately led his generals to begin to meet Cao's army.

After a day of fierce fighting between Lü Bujun and Cao's army, Liu Bei took Guan Zhang and thousands of soldiers to the vicinity of Xiapi City.

When Liu Bei saw that Cao's army was attacking Xiapi, he immediately led his troops to rush forward.

After Cao's army was suddenly attacked by Liu Bei, Cao Cao immediately ordered the siege to be stopped.

When Liu Beijun was killed under Xiapi City, Lu Bu immediately asked, "Liu Xuande, what are you doing in Xiapi?" ”

After hearing this, Liu Bei hurriedly replied: "General Lu, now that Pengcheng has been conquered by Cao Cao, I have nowhere to go, and I hope that General Lu can let my troops into the city!" ”

Lu Bu thought about it for a while and finally agreed to Liu Bei, because Guan Yu and Zhang Fei under Liu Bei were both fierce generals in the world.

Besides, when Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu actually let Liu Beijun enter the city, he suddenly felt a headache, because the combination of Lu Bu and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was too strong.

Because he was a little afraid of the combination of Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Cao Cao did not attack the city again, and he needed to find another way.

A few days passed.

Kaiyang Zangba and Huainan Yuan Shu both received letters from Lu Bu asking for help.

After Zang Ba received the letter, although he had the heart to go to support, he could not move lightly due to the restraint of Cao Hong's soldiers and horses.

As for Huainan Yuan Shu, after he received Lu Bu's letter, after his repeated consideration, he finally decided to send 50,000 troops to be supported by the general Ji Ling, because Yuan Shu also took a fancy to the six counties of Xuzhou.

Besides, after Cao Cao garrisoned the army outside Xiapi for a few days, although he had been thinking hard about the plan to break the city, there was no particularly good way, because Lu Bu, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei wanted to add it was not as simple as one plus one equals two, plus Zhang Liao under Lu Bu, even if Cao's army besieged Xiapi, it would be difficult to achieve good results.
