In the third year of Jian'an, when Cao Cao was still fighting with Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao in Nanyang, Lu Bu and Liu Bei in the east had a contradiction, Lu Bu took advantage of Liu Bei's transfer of troops south to defend against Yuan Shu's attack on Xuzhou, and ordered the generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao to take advantage of the emptiness of Xuzhou's troops to capture Xuzhou, Zhang Fei, who was guarding Xuzhou City, was greedy for wine and misbehaved, at this time Liu Bei heard that his wife and children were captured by Lu Bu in Ruyin, and Xuzhou fell again, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.

Liu Bei: May I ask what is the matter with Rencheng County Taishou Yun Mengtian looking for me?

Xiaobing: My lord heard that Liu Shijun is benevolent and loves the people, and recently Cao thief killed Dong Cheng and a group of loyal ministers, General Yun is unwilling to join Cao Cao, so he wants to defect to the general.

Liu Bei said with tears: Alas, the hateful Cao thief is now torturing His Majesty again, and he also killed his uncle Dong Cheng, which is really a great crime, but it is a pity that Xuzhou is also lost now, and he can't lead the army to fight against Cao thief!

Guan Yu: Since General Yun has this intention, big brother, you can accept it, and we can take the opportunity to slow down in Rencheng County.

Zhang Fei: Second brother is right.

Liu Bei: Okay, in that case, I'll go to Rencheng for the time being.

Not long after, Liu Bei led the exhausted and demoralized army to the city of Rencheng County, and at this moment Yun Mengtian was standing at the gate of the city to greet Liu Bei.

Yun Mengtian: Welcome to the Lord!

Liu Bei: Mengtian, please get up, I have already heard about Mengtian, Cao thief deceives people too much! It's a pity that I'm losing Xuzhou again now.

Yun Mengtian: Don't worry, the lord doesn't have to worry, Lu Bu is a puppet, and sooner or later he will be destroyed.

Liu Bei: Maybe we can use Cao Cao in the west to attack Lü Bu.

Yun Mengtian: The lord's plan is very good!

After consulting with everyone, Liu Bei sent people to Xuchang to ask Cao Cao for help.

At this moment, in the Xuchang Prime Minister's Mansion, Cao Jun and the strategists are all discussing.

Cao Cao: Now that Liu Bei sent a letter asking for help, I think now is a good opportunity to seize Xuzhou, and Liu Bei's letter also gives us a chance to become famous.

Xun Yu: What the prime minister said is very true, now Liu Bei is cornered, and his subordinates are even more fierce generals such as Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, if they can be used by me, it will be of great benefit.

Cao Cao: Okay! Immediately replied to Liu Bei and said that our army was rushing to Xuzhou, so that Brother Xuande would not panic.

Subsequently, Cao Cao ordered Cao Hong, Cao Ren, Li Dian, Le Jin and other generals to be the vanguard, with Xiahoudun as the commander as the vanguard to command 80,000 troops to immediately set off to Xuzhou, and he led 100,000 troops to march normally as backup.

In October of this year, Xiahoudun arrived in Pengcheng County, and Cao's army began to attack the city, and Hou Cheng, the defender of Pengcheng, urgently ordered people to go to Xuzhou City to ask for assistance.

At this time, in Xuzhou City, Lu Bu was drinking and having fun with Diao Chan, and at this time, Chen Gong walked in in a panic.

Chen Gong: Feng Xian, look at what you have become now, there is news from Pengcheng that the Cao army will besiege Pengcheng, and Pengcheng is in a hurry!

Lu Bu: Don't worry, sir, Pengcheng has my general Hou Cheng garrisoned, Cao Cao can't defeat him, come on, come on, sir come and drink together,

Chen Gong: Alas, we are all going to be Cao Cao's captives.

At this moment, Liu Bei, who was in Rencheng County, received the news that Cao Cao had entered the siege of Pengcheng, so he summoned the generals to discuss.

Liu Bei: Now that Cao's army is besieging Pengcheng, we can't stop, we should march eastward as soon as possible to capture Langya, Donghai and other counties.

Yun Mengtian: What the lord said is extremely true, once Cao's army takes Pengcheng, we will be surrounded by Cao Cao, very passive, and the minister suggests that our army should take advantage of the chaos in Xuzhou to immediately march east to seize Langya and the counties of the East China Sea!

Guan Yu: General Yun is right, we should act quickly.

Zhang Fei: Okay, it's going to be war again, I Zhang Fei likes to fight the most, big brother, let's go.

Liu Bei: Okay! The army immediately set off to capture Langya and the lands of the East China Sea!

Generals: Yes!

In this way, Liu Bei led Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yun Mengtian to lead 50,000 soldiers to the east, and just as Liu Bei and others' troops were lined up outside the city and ready to set off, the people of Rencheng County knelt in front of the army, and they hoped to be able to leave this army that had nothing to do with Minqiu.

The people of Rencheng County: Rencheng County has been prosperous since the governance of Liu Yuanjun and General Yun, the people are not left behind, everyone is very relieved, today Liu Zhijun and others are leaving Rencheng again, what should I do if I wait for 9?

Liu Bei: Don't worry, the imperial court will come back to take over Rencheng County, and everyone will still be the people of my Han Dynasty at that time.

After saying that, Liu Bei ordered the army to advance, and he knew that he could not stay in Rencheng County now.

Yun Mengtian: The lord is really a benevolent and virtuous king, and he is quite loved by the people.

Liu Bei: Bei has no place to stand now, and he can't save the people of the world from fire and water, and Bei is very ashamed.

Yun Mengtian: The lord has such a mind, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things in the future!

In this way, Liu Bei's army embarked on a journey.

Returning to Cao Cao's side, after months of day and night siege, Pengcheng collapsed, the morale of the defenders was low when they saw that reinforcements had not arrived, Cao's army attacked the city on all sides, and Pengcheng fell.

Xiahoudun saw that the resistance of the soldiers and civilians of Pengcheng was quite strong, and after breaking the city, he ordered the slaughter of the city, and Pengcheng County was full of blood.

At this moment, Lu Bu, who was still ignoring the military and politics in Xuzhou City, heard that Pengcheng had fallen, so he hurriedly organized a defense.

At the end of November of this year, Cao Cao's main force and Xiahoudun were in the next round in Xiapi City. More than 100,000 began to besiege Xiapi.

Lu Bu, who was on the city tower at this moment, saw Cao Jun who was in front of him and couldn't see the end, and he was frightened, so he said to Chen Gong

Lu Bu: Does Sir have a clever plan to help me?

Chen Gong: Now that Cao's army is besieging Xiapi from all sides, our army is under siege and has no plan.

Chen Gong: At the beginning, I advised you to let you lead your army to camp in the eastern forest of Xiapi City before the siege of Cao's army, but you didn't listen, and now you regret it.

Lu Bu: Listen to Cao Jun under the city, you know who I am, I am the unparalleled Lu Bu in the world, I have a Fang Tian painting halberd that can reach 100,000 male soldiers, and a red rabbit horse can travel thousands of miles a day.

Cao Cao: General Lu is extremely brave, no one in the world knows, if General Lu can abandon the darkness and turn to the light today and serve the court with me, the court will definitely reward you well, hahaha.

Lu Bu was a little moved at this time, and he was going to go down to the city.

Chen Gong: Oh, this is Cao Thief's trick, Feng Xian, you are still too young to know strategy.

Lu Bu: The hateful thief dared to deceive me! The armies are on the defensive!

At this moment, Cao Cao under the city observed the defense of Xiapi City, and when he saw that the city defense was strong, he only ordered the army to besiege the city and not attack it

Guo Jia: Prime Minister, there is a river in the west of Xiapi City, not far from Xiapi, maybe you can use a water meter!

Cao Cao: The plan of filial piety is very good!

So Cao Jun diverted the river water to irrigate the city, and the city of Xiapi was instantly flooded, part of the city wall began to collapse, and the city gradually ran out of food and grass.

Lü Bu's two subordinates tied up Lü Bu at night while Lü Bu was asleep, and then opened the city gate, so Cao's army attacked Xiapi.

After a day of fighting, Cao's army captured Chen Gong, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao. Cao Cao ordered these people to be brought to the White Gate for trial.

Cao Cao: Lu Bu, do you have anything to say today?

Lu Bu: Cao thief, I don't have anything to say!

Cao Cao: Take Lu Bu out and behead him

Lu Bu: Cao thief, you can't die well!

Cao Cao: Gao Shun, I heard that you are a general under Lu Bu, why don't you take refuge in the imperial court and serve the imperial court?

Gao Shun: ......

Cao Cao: Alas, okay, I'll follow your wishes, and someone will drag it down and kill it.

Cao Cao: Brother Gongtai, I treat you well, why did you betray me in the first place?

Chen Gong: Cao thief, I don't want to explain much about this, if you want to kill it, you will kill it!

Cao Cao: Pull it out and cut it.

At this time, Cao Cao ordered his subordinates to bring Zhang Liao up, only to see that Zhang Liao was arrogant, and he did not look defeated at all.

Cao Cao: Are you Zhang Liao?

Zhang Liao: That's right! Down is Zhang Liao! If you want to kill, kill! Needless to say!

Cao Cao saw that Zhang Liao was not afraid of death, and Cao Cao had inquired about Zhang Liao before, this was indeed a good general.

Cao Cao: Wen Yuan is not surprised, I see that Wen Yuan is arrogant, and he sees death as home, and he is really a good general.

After speaking, he hurriedly stepped forward to untie Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao burst into tears when he saw this scene,

Zhang Liao: Thank you for the Prime Minister's grace of not killing, Wen Yuan will definitely go to the soup for the Prime Minister in the future, and he will not give up!

In this way, Cao Cao added another fierce general to his account.
