Chapter 70: Lu Bu is defeated

When Lu Bu came to Chen Liucheng again, he found that there were many fewer people in the city than when he came last time, because he was in a hurry to find Zhang Guang to measure his fortune and tell his fortune, so he didn't think much about it.

After waiting for a long time in the fortune-telling noodle shop, Zhang Guangcai came sweating profusely.

Zhang Guang didn't expect that Lu Bu would come to him at this time to measure his fortune.

In fact, do you still need to count? Cao Cao stood firm again, you Lu Bu is not anyone's opponent at all.

But Zhang Guang will definitely not get along with money, gold coins are still hard currency, after Zhang Guang went to Hanzhong, at the beginning, he must have used money everywhere.

Zhang Guang asked Pang Tong to take away the gold coins, and motioned for Lu Bu to sit down and have a good chat with him.

"Lu Bu, why do you look down on Liu Bei?" Zhang Guang asked.

"He sells straw sandals, how can he be compared to heroes like us?" Lu Bu shook the Fang Tian painting halberd in his hand.

"It's true that you are a hero, but, no matter how powerful a hero is, there must be three gangs, Liu Bei is also the emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Guanzhang and the three brothers join forces, and they are not afraid of you, and now, he is Xuzhou Mu, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, which point is not as good as you?"

"I have a red rabbit horse, I have a Fang Tian painting halberd, how can it be compared to Liu Bei and others?" Lu Bu shook the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand again.

"Okay, then I'll tell you from another angle, Liu Bei didn't spend a single soldier, he won Xuzhou, you Lu Bu, tried to take Yanzhou, but there was no way to defend it, are you comparable to Liu Bei?"

Lu Bu no longer spoke, but from the trembling of the muscles on his face, it could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Lu Bu, this time you come, I still say the same thing, the whole world, only Liu Bei can accommodate you Lu Bu, send you a few words, don't alienate those brothers who depend on your life and death because of things outside your body, your eight great generals can help you, one day, you can also oppose you, don't think that if someone follows you, you are your house slave, so you can do it yourself."

Zhang Guang has been very busy lately, and he will leave after speaking, regardless of whether Lu Bu is there or not.

Not long after Lu Bu returned to Puyang, he was surrounded by Cao Cao's 300,000 troops, and Cao Cao, under the advice of Xi Zhicai, did not attack the city, but only besieged the city.

Xi Zhicai loudly discussed Lu Bu's arrogance, unscrupulousness and unkindness to his subordinates under the city wall every day, and persuaded many of Lu Bu's subordinates to surrender to Cao Cao, and they would definitely be able to follow Cao Cao to achieve great things in the future.

Cao's army besieged it for a month, and the grain and grass in Puyang City ran out, and Lu Bu had to lead his troops to break out of the city.

Xi Zhicai suggested that Cao Cao didn't have to fight hard with Lu Bu, but instead opened a hole and let Lu Bu leave.

Lu Bu fled all the way, and Cao Jun chased all the way behind, and he didn't fight, just chased him.

Many of Lu Bu's subordinate soldiers had long wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, and they deliberately fell behind along the way, so they naturally became a member of Cao Cao's army.

When Lu Bu fled to Pei County, there were less than 10,000 soldiers and horses with him.

"Lord, it seems that Lu Bu wants to go to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei, should we continue to chase or fight?" Xiahou Yuan came to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was silent, looking at Xi Zhicai on the side, Xi Zhicai guessed that Cao Cao should have made a decision, but he didn't want to say it himself.

"General Xiahou Yuan, we don't chase or fight, let him go to Liu Bei, there will be time to clean him up in the future, and we will go back to Puyang?"

"Strategist, let's just let go of the two thieves, Lu Bu and Chen Gong?" Xiahou Yuan didn't understand a little, if according to the original temper of the lord Cao Cao, he would definitely not give up if he didn't break the two of them into thousands of pieces.

"General Xiahou Yuan, do you think Zhang Guang is a big threat to us, or is Lu Bu a big threat to us?" Xi Zhicai said.

"I understand, of course it's Zhang Guang, I've long seen that Zhang Guang is not pleasing to the eye, so I'll gather the team and go back to Puyang."

More than 300,000 Cao troops returned to Puyang.

Cao Cao had just occupied all parts of Yanzhou, and regardless of whether there were no soldiers stationed there, he brought more than 300,000 soldiers and horses to Puyang.

As soon as he arrived in Puyang, Cao Cao gathered many generals such as Xi Zhicai, Xiahou Yuan, and Li Dian together to discuss the attack on Zhang Guang.

"Lord, you have to think more about this matter, Zhang Guang, the legend is that the god of heaven descended to earth, even if it is not a god of heaven, it is not an ordinary person, the lord thinks about it, what is there that Zhang Guang can't calculate?" Li Dian was the first to stand up against the attack on Zhang Guang.

"That's right, lord, it is said that Zhang Guang once fought with Lu Bu, from dawn to dark, Lu Bu was also powerless with Zhang Guang, his Ninth Army, once a thousand people, can defeat 10,000 people, think twice."

After all, over the years, Zhang Guang's estimating ability and the combat effectiveness of the Ninth Army are obvious to all.

Moreover, over the years, Zhang Guang has not done anything to be sorry for Cao Jun, but has helped Cao Jun in many things.

"Fight, must fight, Zhang Guang, if he doesn't fight, he doesn't know how powerful the lord is." Xiahou Yuan seems to stand on the opposite side of Zhang Guang in everything, I don't know if it's because his cousin Xiahou Yuan suffered a loss in Zhang Guang's hands.

"Strategist, what do you think?" Cao Cao finally asked Xiang Zhicai, who was silent on the side.

"Lord, I think, must fight, but before fighting, you can give Zhang Guang a chance, a chance to surrender to the lord. If he is still unwilling to follow the lord, the more powerful he is, the more we have to fight, and we must be killed, otherwise, once this kind of person turns over, it will be a very big threat to the lord. ”

Xi Zhicai's words quieted down the originally noisy scene all of a sudden.

Zhang Guang is indeed good at calculating and leading troops, but he has always been reluctant to follow Cao Cao, if he is always by his side and buries his head in development, who knows when he will destroy himself in turn.

The people around Cao Cao are not stupid, and they understand when they think about it.

300,000 Cao troops surrounded Chen Liucheng in a flood, three layers inside, three layers outside, even a fly, an ant, don't want to escape from the city.

On the city wall, Zhang Guang leaned over against the battlement, and Cai Wenji sat next to Zhang Guang, with the Qixuanqin in front of him.

Dian Wei stood on the other side, and the hundreds of people from the guard battalion were scattered in all directions.

"Lord, no, Zhang Guang seems to have been prepared for a long time." Xi Zhicai saw a scene on the city wall and was a little surprised.

This was the first time Xi Zhicai had met Zhang Guang, and from a distance, he only saw a young man with two purple-black gun handles on his shoulders lying on the city wall, and next to him was a fresh and refined woman.

If you have been prepared, how can you bring a woman up, and I haven't seen how many soldiers there are on the city wall, if you don't have prepared in advance, look at the posture, but you are waiting for the arrival of Cao's army.

"Xiaoman, long time no see!" Zhang Guang greeted Cao Cao with a smile, and did not appear to be as angry as expected.

"Zhang Guang, besieging Chen Liucheng today, I have no choice, your ability is so outstanding, but you refuse to follow me, even if I agree, the many generals behind me don't want to have a tiger lying next to their bed."

"I understand that one mountain can't tolerate two tigers, but how do you know that I don't want to follow you? You don't think you've ever officially mentioned this to me, have you? ”

Zhang Guang's words not only made Cao Cao dumbfounded, but many generals behind him were also dumbfounded.

Speaking of which, everyone present, it seems that no one has ever seriously invited Zhang Guang to serve under Cao Cao, at most they mentioned it as a joke.
