Tian Feng followed Lu Bu several times from birth to death, still in shock, when he used to give advice to Yuan Shao, he always sat in the rear of the army, pointed out the country, talked and laughed, and commanded. If it is advantageous, it will charge forward, and if it is harmful, it will raise troops and retreat, as the so-called gentleman should be invincible.

But this time I followed Lu Bu, experienced life and death several times, and saw the corpses piling up into mountains, blood gathering into rivers, and the sound of crying and killing reverberated in the depths of my soul.

Fang knew that in the past, the plans were all on paper, and human lives were used as chess pieces in the game, and a killing was often caused by tens of thousands of casualties.

Hearing that Lu Bu and everyone were planning about Yanzhou, he couldn't help but panic and persuade: "The prince was ambushed by Cao Cao because of the light enemy, and the troops are not strong at the moment, and the rear is unstable, how can he dare to attack easily?" Although Cao Cao was defeated, he was peaceful and prosperous under his rule, and there was no shortage of money and food for the population, and he could raise a strong army at any time. ”

Lu Bu hesitated, Tian Feng's words were not unreasonable, Cao Cao was quite capable of governing the world, although he suffered a catastrophe at this moment, he still had countless states and counties, and a population of millions. It's like a strong man who has been injured in his muscles and bones, but he is still well-organized, clear-headed, and not without the strength to fight.

But Cao Cao was defeated and fled after all, if he didn't take advantage of the victory to pursue and expand the results of the battle, wouldn't it be against the way of the art of war, and sit back and wait for the opportunity to miss!

Tian Feng saw that Lu Bu hesitated, and said again: "Cao Cao's loss of troops will retreat to Yanzhou, and there must be no more action for a moment, the prince and the prince can not take this opportunity to rectify the soldiers and horses, and recuperate for some time. ”

All the generals are eager to try, although this battle is narrowly won, but it is also hearty, a few battles are still not finished, how to retreat easily! They all asked for war in order to fight Cao Cao again and break through Yanzhou as soon as possible.

Lu Bu weighed left and right, and finally made up his mind: "Cao Cao's defeat and escape is the time of emptiness, this is a God-given opportunity, and it must not be missed." The herald ordered Zhang Jaw to reorganize the troops and horses in Luoyang on the spot, raise salaries and soldiers to supply the front line, and Wei Yue quickly led the troops to meet with me. Then he ordered Gao Shun to raise troops from Puyang and cross the river to attack Cao Cao's hinterland of Dongjun, so that he could not fight again with all his strength. The rest of the generals will make corrections on the spot for three days, and after three days, when Wei Yue's wolf cavalry battalion arrives, they will pursue Cao Cao with me, and then fight Chen Liu, and be sure to capture the eastern part of Yanzhou. ”

The generals were ordered to camp on the spot to rest, and only wait for three days to fight Cao Cao again.

At the same time, Sima Lang, who was far away in Anyi, had just received the news that Lu Bu had defeated Cao Cao in Luoyang, and was discussing follow-up countermeasures with Jia Xu and others.

Sima Lang said: "The prince defeated Cao Cao, with his temperament, he will definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and take advantage of the situation to capture Yanzhou, and will not give Cao Cao a chance to breathe." However, Cao Cao has always been cunning, and he is afraid that he will set up ambushes along the way, and the prince and marquis will drive straight in, and the battle line will be long, and the rear army will only be difficult to assist in time, but I am afraid that there will be disasters. ”

Jia Xu said: "Although the prince is brave, but he has always been warlike and will never delay, at this time, I am afraid that he has already attacked Yanzhou, what we can do is to try our best to raise food and weapons to make up for the loss of the front, but now is the time to employ people, but Yang Xiu is still in prison for his sin, Chen Lin was also removed from his post and was idle at home." We still need to report to the prince as soon as possible, so that he can temporarily pardon Yang Xiu and Chen Lin's previous mistakes, and let them make meritorious contributions. ”

Sima Lang naturally knew that Jia Xu's words were reasonable, but it was difficult to realize, and it would take some time to go to Luoyang, and he would send messages back and forth, but he was afraid that he would miss a major event, and said: "I am afraid that the matter of Dezu can not be delayed any longer, the prince and the prince have lost many horses and horses in Luoyang, and the army is seriously vacant, and it will be difficult to achieve results in the face of Cao Cao's strict defense." This battle also requires General Gao Shun of Jizhou to involve Cao Cao's hinterland army from the north, and I guess the marquis's herald will arrive soon, and we need to plan as soon as possible so as not to miss the opportunity. ”

Jia Xu said: "But the prince is still in Luoyang, if we don't have an order to convey the order of the prince and the marquis privately, I am afraid that we will be suspected of overstepping the throne, and the prince will be blamed in the future, how can it be good?" ”

Sima Lang said with a smile: "When the prince leaves, he will entrust you and me with all the affairs, and we should naturally worry about the king, how can we look ahead and look backwards, and besides, Anyi still has the lady in charge of the prime minister's mansion, why don't I wait to ask the lady to let him temporarily pardon Yang Xiu and Chen Lin, so that they can take charge of the affairs as soon as possible, help us take care of the affairs of the state, and cooperate with the prince and the prince to use troops against Yanzhou in a timely manner." ”

Jia Xu smiled and said: "It's still Bo Da who is thoughtful and has a lady to take care of, and when the time comes, the prince and marquis will blame it, and it has nothing to do with you and me." ”

The two made a plan to meet the prime minister's wife Yan together.

Yan Xiuli heard the intention of the two, and thought that her husband's expedition to Cao Cao, Anyi was the time to employ people, Yang Xiu and Chen Lin were both husband's right-hand men, and it was really not good to be idle at home, or in prison, and the fault of the two was big and big, and it was nothing to say small, so she allowed the two to play, and ordered Yang Xiu and Chen Lin to go to the prime minister's mansion to take charge, and according to Jia Xu's plan, immediately ordered Gao Shun, the governor of Jizhou, to send troops to Yanzhou, echoing Lu Bu's attack on Cao Cao, and sharing Cao Cao's troops for his husband.

Yang Xiu and Chen Lin were summoned, and finally had a place to use, so they were overjoyed, and tried their best to manage the rear for Lu Bu and allocate military salaries.

A few days later, sure enough, a front-line military report came, learning that Lu Bu had broken Cao Cao's ambush army in Xiangyang, so that Cao Cao was defeated and fled, and received a military order from Lu Bu to Gao Shun.

Sima Lang and the others had expected it, and they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and sure enough, the prince issued a military order to Gao Shun's regiment.

As early as a few days ago, Jia Xu, as a messenger, had already gone to Jizhou, conspired with Gao Shun, and went south to attack Cao Cao's Yanzhou, so that he could not take care of each other at the end and could not fight with Lu Bu with all his might.

Although there is a lady who signs the order, but at this time, with the order of the prince and the marquis, it is really justified, otherwise no matter how open-minded Lu Bu is, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear the reckless actions of his subordinates, and if it is investigated in the future, I am afraid it will be another turmoil.

Lü Bu reorganized his troops and horses in Xingyang for several days, gathered Zhao Yun, Zhang Liao, Yan Liang, Wei Yue and other generals, combined 70,000 or 80,000 troops, and approached Cao Cao's hometown Chen Liu.

Previously, Lu Bu had twice been in Yanzhou, both ended in defeat, this time the army was naturally more cautious, the army was marching step by step, slowly advancing towards Chen Liu, and the counties and counties were suppressed by thunderous means, never leaving Cao Cao with an opportunity to instigate the captured counties to have a disaster against the water.

Lu Bu changed his previous strategy of advancing thousands of miles every day, and ate every inch of Yanzhou step by step, and he was extremely slow to march. The journey from Xingyang to Chenliu was only two or three days, and it took a month.

A month later, Lü Bu's troops came to the city of Chenliu, only to learn that Cao Cao had already abandoned the city, leaving only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, led by the general Cao Xiu, to resist Lü Bu's attack.

Cao Xiu had few troops, and only defended the city, no matter how Lu Bu called the battle, he just shrank in the city and did not come out.

Lu Bu had no choice but to attack Chenliu, but the defense of Chenliu's city wall was not trivial, and the army attacked for five or six days, injuring many horses and horses, all of which returned in vain.

Tian Fengjin said: "Cao Cao knew that Chen Liu would be captured by the prince sooner or later, so that he could withdraw as soon as possible. Only Cao Xiu was left to guard Chenliu in order to delay the eastward advance of the prince and buy him more time to recruit soldiers and horses. Since Chen Liu's long-term attack can't be taken for a long time, why don't the princes take a detour and first attack Xuxian, Xutian and other places where the defense is weaker, and then Chen Liu's lonely hanging outside Yanzhou, Cao Xiu will inevitably jump over the wall in a hurry when he sees that the back road is cut off, and then the prince and the marquis are waving his troops to take it, isn't it easy! ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this, so he followed Tian Feng's plan, leaving only Yan Liang to lead more than 10,000 men and horses to feint to attack Chen Liu, so that Zhao Yun divided his troops to attack Xu County, Wei Yue attacked Xu Tian, and brought Tian Feng, Zhang Liao and others to attack Jiao County.

Cao Cao's troops were really empty, except for Chen Liushang, who had a large army to defend him, Xu County, Xu Tian and other counties and counties did not have a large army to garrison, only thousands of local defenders, but there were opponents of Zhao Yun and others.

However, in half a month, Xu County and Xu Tian were successively captured by Zhao Yun and Wei Yue.

Lu Bu led the army to gallop through Jiao County, but saw that Jiao County's city defense was dilapidated, and it was far from being comparable to Luoyang, Chenliu and other big cities.

The defenders of Jiao County were only thousands, and when they saw Lu Bu coming with a large army, where did they dare to fight, and when they saw it from afar, they abandoned the city and fled.

Lü Bu gained a large area of Yanzhou land east of Dongjun, making Chen Liucheng a lonely city.

Lü Bu returned to Chen Liu, and besieged Cao Xiu's regiment with a three-sided siege.

Cao Xiu was helpless, and he no longer dared to refuse to defend the city, for fear that Lu Bu would cut off his retreat, so he would no longer be able to escape.

That night, he abandoned the city and retreated from the East Gate, retreating to Dongjun to join Cao Cao.

Lu Bu won without a fight, and easily won half of the prefectures and counties in Yanzhou, and the strength of the soldiers made the world fearful.

After Cao Cao retreated to Dongjun, he ordered Cheng Yu to mobilize tens of thousands of defenders from Qingzhou, and ordered Xun Yu to requisition tens of thousands of local defenders from Yuzhou to converge with Dongjun to resist the surging army of Lü Bu.

On this day, Cao Cao was discussing the military situation with the generals, and suddenly heard a report from Tanma: "Jizhou Gaoshun led 100,000 troops, and they have arrived on the north bank of the Yellow River, and the troops are coming to Dongjun." ”

Although Cao Cao had expected it, after hearing the news, he still panicked in his heart and asked everyone: "Now that our army is facing enemies on both sides, Chen Liu is besieged by Lu Bu's army, and the loss is only in the evening, and there is Lu Bu's governor Gao Shun in the north to lead the troops to attack, can the princes have a good strategy to resist the enemy?" ”

Xun You said: "Don't worry, Duke Ming, although Lu Bu has Xu County and other counties, but he only has an empty city, the grain and grass in the city have been carried out by our army, and the people and scholars have all moved early. Even if he captures Chenliu and obtains half of the land in Yanzhou, it is difficult to supply enough grain and grass, under such a long occupation line, our army still has a lot to do, Ming Gong can send cavalry, lightly armed, from the small road to attack its grain and grass hoarding place, Lu Bu can retreat without a fight. Although Gao Shun has strong soldiers and horses, we have the Yellow River to defend, and the Ming Duke only needs to send a large army to defend the river, and Gao Shun can only play a role in containment, so there is no need to worry. ”

At this time, the guards came to pass the word, and General Cao Xiu asked to see him.

Cao Cao and Xun Yu looked at each other gloomily, Chen Liu's fall was expected, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, so he urgently ordered Cao Xiu to come to see him and ask for details.

Cao Xiu pleaded guilty and said: "The subordinates were derelict in their duties, failed to keep Chen Liu, and were entrusted by the general, and were willing to be punished." ”

Cao Cao got up and helped him up, and said with relief: "Virtuous nephews don't have to blame themselves, I led an army of 200,000, but I was defeated by Lu Bu, and Wen Lie only had more than 10,000 people, sticking to Chen Liuyue for more than a month, sending troops for our army, and stabilizing the rear to earn a valuable opportunity. ”

Cao Xiu then made a detailed report on how Lu Bu marched, how he divided his troops to attack and plunder the prefectures and counties, and how he surrounded Chen Liu.

After hearing this, Cao Cao sighed and said: "Lu Bu is a camp step by step, and the places he passes through are all rectified by thunderous means, and most of the meticulous work left by our army in Chenliu, Xuxian and other places has been uprooted by it, and we don't even know where Lu Bu's grain and grass hoarding place is, and it is not easy to cut off Lu Bu's grain road unconsciously." ”

Xun You said with a smile: "I have a person who is recommended to Ming Gong, this person has a lot of connections with Lu Bu, and has immortal talents, many wisdom, and is good at forbearance, if he can go to Lu Bu's camp to investigate, he will definitely be able to make some gains." ”

Cao Cao was defeated for several days, losing countless generals and horses, and even his eldest son Cao Ang was also killed in the hands of Lu Bu, the defeat of this battle was unprecedented, which really made him a little heartbroken, even if it had been many days, he was still depressed, and then he listened to Xun You's words, and only then did he come to some interest, and asked curiously: "Who can be so praised?" ”

Xun You said: "This person is the second son of the former Jingzhao Yin Sima Fang, named Sima Yi, and the younger brother of Sima Lang, the chief adviser of Lu Bu, who is moving to Dongjun with his father and family at this time, if he can be made to go to Chenliu and Yingchuan to investigate, he will not be detected by Lu Bu." ”

Cao Cao hesitated: "Although Sima Fang has threatened to sever the father-son relationship with Sima Lang several times, they are flesh and blood after all, if this person is sent forward, how do you know that he will not fight back and harm us?" ”

Xun You said: "There is no need to worry about this, Sima Fang has always regarded himself as loyal, and it is often said that Lu Bu is a chaotic minister and thief who takes power and troubles the country, even if the eldest son worships the prime minister for a long time, he still broke with it without hesitation, and moved his family to Yingchuan for refuge. And Sima Yi's son is still young, but he already has a lot of city, unlike his brother, this person has always been cautious, and has great filial piety, with his father in Dongjun, he will do his best for Ming Gong, and will never dare to slack off. ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his doubts immediately disappeared, and he ordered the military academy to summon Sima Yi to see him.

Sima Yi was about to visit his father, and Sima Fang instructed: "Your brother is serving in front of Lu Bu's tent, so our family is often jealous of Cao Cao, you will never have anything good when you go to see Cao Cao, you must remember not to disobey his orders, otherwise we may have a great disaster." ”

Sima Yi said: "Father, don't worry, when you broke with your brother, you didn't want to gamble and put your eggs in one basket. If today's heroes are nothing more than Cao Cao and Lu Bu, I will not disappoint my father's expectations, and make every effort to plan for Cao Cao, so that he will not despise me, and when the time comes, whether Lu Bu or Cao Cao achieves great things, our family can sit back and relax. ”

Cao Cao saw Sima Yi, and saw that he really had the resources of a dragon and a phoenix, neither humble nor arrogant, and he dealt with it like a stream, so he entrusted him with the things he discussed with Xun You.

Sima Yi received the order, and said that Cao Cao said: "Rest assured, the general, I will live up to the trust and find out where Lu Bu's grain road is." ”

After Sima Yi left, Cao Cao said to Xun You: "This son is not afraid of chaos, he has the style of a general, if he waits for time, he will become a hero, I don't know whether this promotion is happy or worried." ”
