Zhang Zhen was about to secretly return to Bohai, but was intercepted by Cao Cao's generals Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan halfway.

"Hussar general, why are you in such a hurry to leave, our lord is invited." Xiahoudun joked.

Zhang Zhen smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that I've been bothering Meng De for some time, I really have no face to continue to stay in Chenliu, so I didn't say goodbye." ”

Xiahou Yuan said: "Oh! I see, I thought that the hussar general who was not afraid of the ground was still afraid of our lord, hahaha, but the lord asked the hussar general to discuss something, please come with us! ”

Tai Shi Ci was not happy when he saw this, he was not a pig, so he naturally understood that it would be no good for Cao Cao to find his eldest brother: "Hmph! Who do you think you are, my eldest brother can leave whenever he wants, there are so many reasons, and you think my eldest brother is stupid! Then Cao Cao will not be good to find our eldest brother. ”

Xiahoudun was already short-tempered, and when he heard this, he was furious: "Hmph, it's okay for you to go with us today, if you don't go with us, we don't recommend using some means." ”

"Oh! Hehe, who do you think you are, get out of the way with one eye, and I will make your other eye lose its luster. Tai Shi Ci was not to be outdone, "And you hurry up and get out of the way for me, the double halberd in Uncle Xin's hand doesn't have eyes." ”

Xiahou Yuan looked at the situation as if a big battle was about to break out, took out the big knife, and prepared to rush forward.

Zhang Zhen saw that he couldn't leave today, and looked at a few people on his side who were really not good to stand out, so he asked, "I don't know what Meng De has to do with me." ”

"I have to ask the lord for this, but the lord just asked us to bring the general back." A handsome man will come out on horseback.

"Oh! I don't know this general? Zhang Zhen asked curiously.

"My name is Cao Ren, and I am an inconspicuous general under the lord's account." Cao Ren ignored it disapprenely.

"You're Cao Ren." Zhang Zhen was slightly surprised, and looked at the generals behind him, it seems that he is not good, does this Cao Cao want to keep me here? Hehe, but ...... Well, "Okay! Since Meng De is so sincere, what's the point if I go. ”

"Big brother, this Cao Cao is clearly out of the way, otherwise the big brother will leave, we will fight with them and swear to defend the big brother to the death." Tai Shici stood in front of Zhang Zhen, looking like he was preparing to die.

"Ziyi, it's okay, Cao Cao doesn't have the courage to do it to me at present, Cao Cao is surrounded by wolves on all sides, and he can't kill me now. Okay, everybody, put your weapons away, and I'll go with you. ”

"The wolf king really lives up to his reputation, this courage is not, please." Cao Ren made a gesture of please.

Zhang Zhen walked over directly without thinking, Tai Shici followed behind, glaring at Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan angrily. Jia Xu shook his head.

……

Chen stayed too guarded in the house.

"Hahaha, why don't you say goodbye to the virtuous brother, let my brother and I wait, come on, come on, I have already prepared a banquet for the virtuous brother." Cao Cao looked at Zhang Zhendao with a smile.

"Oh! Meng De is still down to business, it's not too late to finish drinking this wine. Zhang Zhen didn't eat hard.

"Hahaha, okay, since the virtuous brother is like this, I won't shirk, there is an urgent report from Puyang that Lu Bu took advantage of our unpreparedness with the help of Zhang Miao to sneak attack Yanzhou, and now occupy Puyang, Lu Bu's combat power We have also seen it in the Tiger Prison Pass, and we need the help of the virtuous brother to stop me."

It turned out that Lu Bu saw that Yuan Shao's general trend had gone, and followed Chen Gong's suggestion to attack Puyang, Yanzhou.

"Lu Bu has courage and no strategy, so there is nothing to worry about." Zhang Zhen said lightly, "Besides, Meng De's tiger and leopard ride is not a bad name. ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Lu Bu is powerful, and Chen Gong is supplemented, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun are also rare brave generals, and now Yanzhou and Puyang have been lost, and their Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fan counties are three places, and Lai Liu Ye and Chen Qun are designed to connect and defend the city. Otherwise, the land of Yanzhou will fall into the hands of Lu Bu, and only the virtuous brother needs to block Lu Bu, and the rest will be handed over to us. ”

"Well, well! Since Meng De is like this, I will accompany Meng De to meet Lu Bu, but after this time, Meng De should not find an excuse to keep me with you. Zhang Zhen smiled slightly.

Cao Cao laughed dryly and said: "This is natural, when the time comes, please take care of yourself." ”

……

Lu Bu learned that Cao Cao had led the troops and had passed through Teng County, so he summoned the deputy generals Xue Lan and Li Feng and said, "I have wanted to use you two for a long time. You can lead 10,000 troops to hold Yanzhou. I personally led the troops to break Cao Cao. The two agreed.

After Chen Gong learned the news, he hurriedly entered the mansion to see Lu Budao: "The general abandoned Yanzhou, where do you want to go?" ”

Lu Bu was puzzled: "I want to garrison Puyang to become a full-fledged force." ”

Chen Gongjian said: "The lord's words are wrong. Xue Lan and Li Feng will not be able to hold Yanzhou. One hundred and eighty miles to the south, Mount Tai is dangerous, and there are 10,000 elite soldiers in the ambush. When Cao Bing heard that Yanzhou was lost, he would inevitably double his speed and march, and when he was more than halfway through, he could be captured with one blow. ”

Lu Bu was a little displeased and said: "I am stationed in Puyang, I have ulterior motives, how do you know!" ”

So Lu Bu didn't use Chen Gong's words, but let Xue Lan and Li Feng guard Yanzhou and go to school

……

Cao Cao and his entourage marched to the dangerous road of Mount Tai, Guo Jia said: "The lord and you can't continue to advance, I'm afraid there are ambushes here." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Lu Bu is unscrupulous, so he taught Xue Lan and others to guard Yanzhou, and since they went to Puyang, how could they ambush here?" Teach Cao Ren to lead an army to besiege Yanzhou, and we marched to Puyang and quickly attacked Lü Bu. ”

Chen Gong heard that Cao Cao's soldiers were approaching, so he offered a plan: "Today, Cao Cao's soldiers are tired from afar, and the advantage is to fight quickly, and they can't develop strength. ”

Lu Bu said arrogantly: "I am riding a horse, why worry about Cao Cao!" When it goes down, I will capture it. ”

Cao Cao led his troops to Puyang and went down to the village for thirty miles.

The next day, the generals were led out and lined up in the field to wait for the enemy army. Cao Cao immediately stood under the banner of the door and watched Lu Bu's soldiers arrive from afar.

The two formations were in a circle, Lu Bu was the first to go out, and eight strong generals were lined up on both sides: the first Yanmen Mayi person, surnamed Zhang, named Liao, and the word Wenyuan; The second Taishan Huayin person, surnamed Zang, famous tyrant, the word Xuangao. The two generals each introduced three strong generals: Hao Meng, Cao Xing, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng.

Lu Bu had 50,000 troops, and the drums shook loudly.

Cao Cao pointed at Lu Bu and said, "I have no enmity with you, why did you come to take my Yanzhou County?" ”

Lu Bu said disappreliantly: "The city of the Han family, everyone has a share, how can it be your city?" Cao Cao, it's rare that you want to rebel? ”

Cao Cao was so angry by Lu Bu that his face turned pale.

Lu Bu saw that Cao Cao didn't talk, so he called Zang Ba out to fight.

Cao Jun Neile entered and exited the battle to meet the two horses, and the two guns were raised. The battle is more than 30 rounds, and there is no difference between victory and defeat. Xiahoudun slapped his horse and went out to help, and Zhang Liao intercepted and killed Lu Bu on the battlefield. Annoyed, Lu Bu got angry, stood up and rushed out of the formation. Xiahoudun and Le Jin are not opponents, there was a time when Cao Cao was worried that the two would lose, Mingjin withdrew his troops, Lu Bu waved a large army to cover up, Cao Cao's army was defeated, and he retreated thirty or forty miles to the village. Lu Bu was overjoyed with his victory and returned with his army.

Cao Cao lost for a while and returned to the village to discuss with the generals.
