As soon as Yang Xiu's plan came out, Lu Bu knew that this matter was promising, and praised Yang Xiu's quick wit even more, and after praising him, he ordered the army to lead the way, and when the chaos in the city broke out, he would quickly attack the city.

Sure enough, it didn't take long, but when I heard that the city was in chaos, but in a moment, the city was stable again, a white flag fluttered and rose above the city, and there were even bloody human heads hanging aside. Immediately after the city gate was opened, tens of thousands of Cao troops did not hold weapons, and came out of the city, Zang Ba and Song Xian also walked out of it, Zang Ba held the official talisman seal letter in both hands, and walked fifty steps in front of the army formation, and knelt down with hundreds of officials and shouted: "Our criminal ministers welcome the prime minister into the city." ”

Lu Bu led a cadre of generals and rode his horse in front of Zang Ba and the others, but he didn't speak, only looked at Zang Ba, Song Xian and others who were kneeling in front of him, the atmosphere froze for a while, and the needle drop could be heard.

The hundreds of officers of the Cao army and tens of thousands of soldiers knelt on the ground, only to hear that the soldiers and armor were approaching, but there was no other sound, and they did not dare to get up to watch the situation in all directions, and for a while they could only bow to the ground, trembling, not knowing what fate would greet them.

Lu Bu and the others stopped for a long time, and the rest of the people didn't see the coach's movement, so they didn't dare to rush forward, just waiting for Lu Bu to give orders.

Lu Bu held the halberd in his hand, jumped out of Zang Ba's hand and offered the red silk on the wooden plate, and the official talisman seal on it was impressive.

Lu Bu secretly made a look, and Yang Xiu stepped forward and took the official talisman seal letter from Zang Ba's hand.

Just when Zang Ba breathed a sigh of relief, he heard Lu Bu say in a deep voice: "Zang Ba and Song Xian have made meritorious contributions to the city, promoted Zang Ba to General Fubo, and Song Xian to General Yaoyang, still commanding the headquarters of the people, and temporarily returned to the former general Zhang Liao to listen to the dispatch." ”

Zang Ba and Song Xianchang fell to the ground, their backs were cold, and they seemed to have walked away from the ghost gate, and said in unison: "Thank you for the grace of the prime minister not to kill." ”

Lu Bu didn't look at the two of them again, and led the troops through the kneeling Cao army array, and led the army into the city to rest.

Zhang Liao pressed the formation behind, and after the army entered the city one after another, he helped Zang Ba and Song Xian up, and said loudly: "Since you have returned to the imperial court, you should take it as your responsibility to help the imperial court eradicate the thieves, bravely kill the enemy, and forget about death, so as to live up to the kindness of the imperial court and the prime minister." You will enter the city with me as soon as possible, and the system will be rectified and obey the prime minister's military orders at any time. ”

After this battle, the north of Yangzhou, the north of the Huai River all knelt down in the imperial court, only the lonely city under Cai lonely stood on the north bank of the Huai River, with a husband as the pass, as the only remaining northern gateway of Shouchun.

After many days of rest, the army replenished grain, grass and ordnance, everything was ready, Lu Bu raised the account and asked everyone: "There is only a lonely city left in Xia Cai on the north bank of the Huai River, and after capturing Xia Cai, our army can go to the Huai River and reach Shouchun, the hinterland of Yangzhou." Who of the generals is willing to be the vanguard for me and capture Cai Gucheng. ”

Zhang Liao, Zhao Yun and other generals have come out to ask for orders, and Zang Ba and Song Xian have come out to ask for battle, Zang Ba still feels guilty about what he has done in the past, more like making new contributions, and said loudly: "Xia Cai Shou General is Li Ru and Niu Fu in front of Dong Zhuo's tent in the past, these two Li Ru are scheming, Niu Fu bravely crowns the three armies, I am willing to be the prime minister's vanguard, and the suspicious soldiers enter the city as the internal response, but the soldiers can take Cai lightly without blood." ”

Yang Xiu said on the side: "I think this plan is feasible, Li Ru and others still don't know that General Zang Ba has returned to our army, if General Zang can be used as an internal response, then our army should be combined with the outside, and Xia Cai will be at your fingertips at that time." ”

Guo Yan followed Lu Bu on this trip, as Lu Bu's pro-army, he did not succeed in an inch, and immediately said: "Why bother, Li Ru and Niu Fu are all former colleagues under them, I am willing to go to Xia Cai to make peace, and let them sacrifice the city and return to obedience." I have a deep friendship with him, and I will be able to succeed immediately. ”

Lu Bu finally raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Very good, I think we can do it both ways, General Zang Ba can use two hundred rout troops as bait, and mix in Xia Cai to see the opportunity." General Guo Yan pressed the border with our army, and then entered the city to meet with Li Ru, and when he was under the authority of our army, he did not dare to hurt General Guo in the slightest. If he is obsessed, our army can also join forces with the outside and capture Caicheng. ”

Guo Yan, Zang Ba and others were overjoyed and had to be ordered to prepare for the account.

Tian Feng said worriedly: "Cao Cao only left Cai as the northern barrier, how could he only let Li Ru and Niu Fu two foreign generals garrison such a critical place, now that the northern border of the Huai River has fallen, Cao Cao will definitely send his henchmen to guard Cai, I am afraid that the two generals Zang Ba and Guo Yan will be difficult to make contributions." ”

Lu Bu said with a smile: "It's okay, it's man-made, Cao Cao is already at the end of the crossbow, how many troops can be divided to support Xia Cai, I don't just rely on the strategies of Zang Ba and Guo Yan, I also need to be hard to strike iron, in the midst of my 100,000 elites, I want to see what big waves Cao Cao can make." ”

After that, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun were ordered to be the vanguards of the left and right, each leading 20,000 elite cavalry to return to the east and west sides of Xia Cai, and leading the remaining army to the north gate of Xia Cai with the momentum of black clouds.

Everyone acted according to the plan, Zang Ba led two hundred Cao army generals, dressed up as a miserable defeat and fled, and went to Xia Cai as a suspicious soldier first, Zhang Liao and Zhao Yunbing divided into two wings, all the way to cover and kill Cai East and West Two Gates.

Lu Bu personally led the army and marched towards the north gate of Xia Cai with a cadre of civil and military forces.

During this period, Tian Feng asked: "The prince trusts Zang Ba so much, so he is not afraid that he will defect in battle, and secretly unite with Cao Jun to lure our army into an ambush?" ”

Lu Bu said with a firm smile: "Yuan Hao is too worried, now the general trend is no longer in Cao Cao, Cao Jun is trapped and guarding Cai is just a mantis arm as a car, how can he reverse the situation, Zang Ba can also be regarded as a person with a city government, how can he not see the situation clearly." Even if he really defects, I still have countless generals, 100,000 soldiers and horses, Cao Cao only has tens of thousands of horses in Yangzhou, and he is just a standing garrison who usually defends the city. ”

Within a few days, Lu Bu's three-way army approached Xiacaicheng and blocked the water in the siege of Xiacaicheng.

Li Ru boarded the city, facing the afterglow of the sunset, looking at the surrounding Lu Bu's army covering the sky and the sun, stirring up the boundless smoke and dust to the sky, where did he dare to go out of the city to face the battle, and strictly ordered the soldiers to guard the city gate, and asked Zang Badao, who fled in defeat: "Lu Bu's army is so strong, how did General Zang break out of the encirclement." ”

Zang Ba said with tears in his eyes: "General Wang Shuang personally led the troops to open the way for me, let me lead the elite team to break through, and asked the general for reinforcements, but I didn't expect Lu Bu to act so quickly, and the army came one after another, I am afraid that Wang Shuang and Song Xian have already been killed." ”

Li Ru sighed: "General Wang Shuang is really naïve, Lu Bu's army is so strong, I can't protect myself under Cai, I still hope for reinforcements but can't, how can I divide troops to help him." Not to mention that Lu Bu is the best in the world, just his Zhang Liao and Zhao Yun are also famous generals in the world. We only have more than 10,000 men, how can we hold the city? ”

Yan Ba looked at Xiahou Jie, who was sent by Cao Cao to supervise the army, and said, "General Xiahou, do you know, when will the general's reinforcements arrive?" ”

Xiahou Jie said coldly: "The general only needs to defend the city with peace of mind, the general has already dispatched Shouchun soldiers and horses, and he will definitely arrive in time to relieve the siege of Cai." ”

Li Ru smiled helplessly: "As far as I know, Shouchun only has tens of thousands of horses, which is less than half of Lu Bu's troops, even if all of them are dispatched, how can they resist Lu Bu's 100,000 army." ”

Xiahou Jie said proudly: "The general's majestic posture can be understood, you only need to defend the city for ten days, and after ten days, there will be a reversal." ”

Niu Fu muttered beside him: "To put it lightly, with 10,000 people to defend the 100,000 army offensive, and you have to defend it for ten days, you will not be able to be a wine bag and rice bag under Lu Bu." ”

Although Niu Fu's voice was low, it was still taken into Xia Houjie's ears, and he couldn't help but say angrily: "General Niu is going to disobey the general's military order?" ”
