In the first year of Xingping (194 AD), Puyang, Chen Palace Mansion.

Zhang Feng was grabbed by Chen Gong by the collar and pressed against the wall, unlike Chen Gong's anger at this time, he had a smile on his face.

"Zhang Tianyi! How exactly do you want it! Why did you suggest that Lu Bu retreat to Puyang! Chen Gong yelled. The butler heard the sound and ran in, but he didn't know what to do.

Zhang Feng was still laughing, and pretended to be innocent and said, "Lord Chen, what does this mean?" I just said the safest proposal to Lu Bu, what's wrong? ”

"Safe? You're hurting me! did not let Lu Bu block Cao Cao's return, but let him shrink his forces and trap Puyang. If Cao Cao pacifies the counties, then Yanzhou will be lost! Chen Gong gritted his teeth and said.

"So what?"

"You!"

"Tell you two things. First, I don't care about Lu Bu's life or death, and I persuaded him to come to Yanzhou just because I saw that his life was peaceful, and I was resentful in my heart. Second ......" Speaking of this, Zhang Feng suddenly grabbed Chen Gong's left hand with his right hand and twisted it, and Chen Gong was instantly countered, "Second, be polite to me, I won't be reduced to asking you to count them!" ”

After speaking, Zhang Feng let go of Chen Gong, rushed to the door in an instant, pulled out a dagger and slashed the butler's throat.

Chen Gong stood up, but only saw the butler looking at him in horror, one hand covering his neck, blood spurting from his fingers, and the other hand reaching out to him, his lips were moving, but he couldn't speak, he shook and fell down softly.

Chen Gong slowly sat on the ground and stared blankly at the door, Zhang Feng had already disappeared.

As if he had been stirred up by cold water, he staggered to his feet, rushed out of the gate, and ran towards Lu Bu's mansion.

……

Lu Bu was discussing the next step with Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, when Chen Gong suddenly broke in.

The three of them looked at Chen Gong who was out of breath when he ran to the ground in surprise, and finally Zhang Miao opened his mouth: "Gongtai, why are you so panicked?" ”

Zhang Feng ...... Zhang Feng will kill me! He ......, "Chen Gong was really running too fast, and he had to squat on the ground and gasp for breath.

"What?!" Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao exclaimed at the same time.

"He's gone...... Really? Lu Bu was unusually calm.

Chen Gong looked at Lu Bu and asked with some doubts, "Feng Xian knows that he wants to harm you?" ”

Lu Bu's gaze became very gloomy, and after a long time, he nodded.

When he looked at the crowd again, he saw that everyone was looking at him in surprise. Lu Bu couldn't help but smile bitterly, "There are too many entanglements between me and him, and he has actually been haunting me and Diao Chan like a ghost, I'm just used to it." ”

"Then why do you still listen to his advice and retreat to Puyang!" Chen Gong asked loudly.

"It has nothing to do with him, I would have liked it myself."

"Alas! Fengxian, you ...... Alas...... What a missed opportunity. Chen Gong said with remorse.

"Gongtai, I know what you think. You want me to garrison the important place, cut off Cao Cao's return route, and confront him according to the danger, but can you listen to me. The troops I brought with Yanzhou are limited enough to resist Cao Cao's army, and although I can mobilize Yanzhou soldiers and horses, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not defect again. Besides, even if you can block Cao Cao, can you guarantee that there will be no internal response in Yanzhou? When the time comes, we will be attacked internally and externally, and there will be no way to retreat. Lu Bu said what he thought.

"Gongtai, what Feng Xian said is also reasonable, the matter has come to this point, let's deal with the current predicament first. Now that Cao Cao's army has returned, stationed less than a hundred miles away from here, if we don't hurry up and come up with countermeasures, I'm afraid that we will all die here. Zhang Miao said and patted Chen Gong on the shoulder.

"The wealthy merchant Tian in the city came to me and said that for the people of Baozhou County, he was willing to deceive and lure Cao Cao." Zhang Chao stepped forward and said.

"In that case, then we will set up an ambush in the city and kill Cao Cao in one fell swoop. If Cao Cao dies, his dragons will be leaderless, and they can be easily defeated. ”

————————————————

There are no stars and no moon, and the dark clouds gather, making the night even more hazy.

Cao Cao looked at Puyang City in front of him on his horse, thoughtful. Duan Xuan was too seriously injured and was recuperating in the camp at this time.

A middle-aged man dressed in silk and a slightly chubby body rode up to him, "General Cao, what you said below is true. ”

Cao Cao didn't look at him, and said a little casually: "Did Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others really set up an ambush in this city and wanted to kill Cao?" ”

"It is they who have laid down their archers on the walls and houses of the people, and when the general enters the city, they will be killed by arrows." The man replied.

"Why do you want to help me, when you have been commanded to surrender to me?" Cao Cao turned his head and looked at the man and said.

"It's just because a friend once asked me to help General Cao."

"Oh? I don't want Cao Cao's reputation in his life to be bad, but there are still people who want to help me. ”

"General Cao Ren," the man didn't respond to Cao Cao, but instead looked at Cao Ren, "Lu Yuan, you should know you." ”

"Oh? Your Excellency is a friend of Brother Lu? Cao Ren was a little surprised.

"It's not a secret, under is the Yefeng Puyang branch of the branch, Tian Yao, the word is Zhengxuan." The man threw his hand at Cao Ren and Cao Cao.

"Hehe, it seems that you can meet people anywhere." Cao Cao suddenly laughed.

"I hope General Cao can create a world that doesn't need to exist without us." Tian Yao said with some amazement.

"I hope Cao can live up to your expectations. Command, come with me into the city. ”

"General?" Tian Yao suspected that he had misheard.

"Feng first took my state and county, if I don't go to meet him, it won't seem that Cao is too stingy." After Cao Cao finished speaking, he laughed and beat his horse forward.

"If there is an extraordinary merit, there must be an extraordinary person?" Tian Yao shook his head and followed Cao Cao's soldiers and horses to catch up.

……

"It seems that the Tian clan has successfully deceived Cao Cao, and ordered the archers to prepare, and after listening to my order, they will all aim at Cao Cao and release their arrows." Zhang Miao looked at the slowly approaching army on the city wall, and his heart was happy.

"Mengde is not so easy to deceive......" Lu Bu said as if talking to himself.

He jerked around and walked under the walls.

"Hehe, Meng Zhuo, I'm afraid it's Feng Xian right again this time." Chen Gong pointed to Cao Cao's army below, and Zhang Miao looked in the direction he pointed, only to find that Cao Cao's men and horses were all carrying large shields, which were obviously specially designed to deal with bows and arrows.

"But it doesn't matter, as long as he dares to enter the city, he will never be able to get out again." As he spoke, Chen Gongchong nodded to the lieutenant general beside him, and the lieutenant general left to convey the order to the men and horses in ambush on the city wall.

At this time, Cao Cao had already come to the city, and the city was dark. The city gate was slowly lowered, and Cao Cao did not hesitate and led his horse towards the city.

The streets were deserted, and Cao Cao led his troops forward.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of horses' hooves, strong and powerful.

"Red Rabbit? You can't help it, Bongxian. Cao Cao squinted and looked ahead with a smile.

Lu Bu rode the red rabbit and slowly came out of the alley next to him and walked to the middle of the street.

"Fengxian, why did you take my state and county?" Cao Cao was still smiling, but Lu Bu was expressionless, and his eyes were just looking at the ground in front of the horse vacantly.

"Mengde, I have no intention of competing with you for the territory, I am here this time, I just hope that you can hand over one person to me for disposal."

"Who?"

"Duan Xuan."

"Why did Feng Xian want him?"

"This person is one of the culprits who killed my father-in-law, Ding Yuan, and I swore that I would kill this thief with my own hands." When Lu Bu said this, he unconsciously clenched his halberd.

"What if Cao doesn't pay it?"

"Mengde, don't force me."

"Heh, Fengxian, when will your character change? Since you and I are already enemies, why bother thinking about old feelings, if you want to fight, let's do it. Cao Cao laughed and said.

Without waiting for Lu Bu to speak, Chen Gong had already waved his hand. Countless torches instantly lit up on the city wall, and as Chen Gong's raised hand fell, the soldiers above threw the torches out collectively.

With a bang, the city was suddenly illuminated by fire, and it turned out that Chen Gong had asked soldiers to place flammable materials all over the city. At the same time, the fire also sealed all four gates. Cao Cao's troops outside the city could no longer enter, and in the city, only 10,000 horses entered.

Shouts rang out, soldiers in ambush rushed out, and archers on the walls and rooftops began to shoot arrows at Cao Cao's troops.

"Protect the lord!" Yu Ban roared, snatched the big shields of the soldiers around him, and beckoned several soldiers to bring their horses to Cao Cao's side, forming a shield wall.

"Generals, attack." Li Dian and Le Jin raised their shields to block arrows while launching a counterattack against the rushing ambush.

"Bow and arrow stop, cavalry, charge!" Cheng Lian and Wei Xu led the wolf cavalry and Puyang's cavalry to charge Cao Cao's army head-on.

"As for the cavalry, how can we lose to others! Above! Cao Chun gave an order, and the tiger and leopard cavalry bypassed from the side and rushed up against the cavalry on Puyang's side.

Yu Ban was protecting Cao Cao to retreat towards the city gate, and suddenly found that the troops at the city gate were in chaos, and then he saw the black-armored cavalry - trapped in the camp.

"Qingzhou Army, protect the lord!" Zhou Heng beckoned the Qingzhou soldiers and horses who entered the city, raised his gun to meet him, and fought with the trapped camp.

At this time, the city was full of shouts and screams, and everywhere was splashed blood, which was illuminated by the fire.

"Ahh Yu Ban only cared about guarding against the surrounding enemy forces, but he didn't notice that Lu Bu was quietly rushing over from the side. Fortunately, Lu Bu didn't want his life, but just used a halberd to draw his big shield, the shield was smashed into pieces, and Yu Ban was also shocked off the horse.

"Mengde! Hand over Duan Xuan and spare your life! Lu Bu roared and stabbed his halberd at Cao Cao's horse.

The halberd blade of Fang Tian's halberd directly pierced the horse's neck, and Cao Cao only felt that his mount instantly lost its strength and fell to the ground with a plop, and this fall, his left leg was also pressed underneath.

Cao Cao sighed, alas, this is fate. The halberd was already pointed at him, Cao Cao looked up with a smile, looked at Lu Bu and said, "Feng Xian, do it." ”

Lu Bu's hand holding the halberd trembled, although he hated Duan Xuan, he couldn't do anything to Cao Cao.

"I'd rather teach me to bear the world, and stop teaching the world to bear me!" Cao Cao yelled.

"Ah~~~~!!!" Lu Bu numbed his emotions with a roar, and with force in his hand, he stabbed out the halberd.

"Bang!" The burning wood in the doorway suddenly scattered as if it had been struck, and a man in somewhat charred clothes stood in the doorway with two halberds in his hands.

Dian Wei!

When the fire broke out, he was kept out of the city. Through the firelight, he saw everything in the city, and he was so anxious that he couldn't care much, so he rushed directly and knocked away the red-burned giant tree.

At this time, his body was already burned, but he didn't show a trace of pain, just stared at Lu Bu with resolute eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Lord, Dian Wei is here." ”
