"Lu Bu is unruly and often ignores the orders of the lord. defeated Zhang Yan before, although Lu Bu had a lot of credit, but he acted on his own. I have also heard that this man often thinks of himself as a benefactor. ”

"That's enough."

Yuan Shao interrupted Feng Ji's words.

Yuan Shao's face was cloudy, he only wanted to use Lu Bu's name as the number one warrior in the world before, thinking that this would help him recruit talents, but he didn't expect that Lu Bu was really difficult to tame.

"Lord, I also agree with what Yuan Tu said, Lu Bu is a hidden danger, and I also ask the lord to get rid of it as soon as possible to avoid complications when fighting Gongsun Zhan."

Tian Feng also opened his mouth to agree with what Feng Ji said, but Feng Ji did not appreciate it at all.

Seeing that his two strategists agreed on the same opinion, Yuan Shao also made up his mind, this Lu Bu must not stay.

So he immediately ordered Lu Bu to come and discuss something with him.

Lu Bu also had a very uncomfortable time during this time, and Yuan Shao was obviously able to suppress him.

"I, Lu Fengxian, not only avenged the Yuan family, but also helped him repel Zhang Yan's army, but this person refused to give me power at all."

When he received Yuan Shao's order, Lu Bu was drinking in the tent.

He then mounted the red rabbit and walked towards Yuan Shao's camp.

"If Yuan Benchu arranges things for me this time, I will inevitably ask for more troops, and he will not be allowed to do so."

Lu Bu secretly made up his mind.

When he came to Yuan Shao's military camp, it was already dark, and Lu Bu heard that Yuan Shao was not in the camp at this time, and the wine came up, so he casually found a tent to rest, preparing to see Yuan Shao again tomorrow.

At night, he heard someone talking outside the tent, saying that Yuan Shao was dissatisfied with President Lu Bu and seemed to want to get rid of Lu Bu.

Hearing this, Lu Bu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and his alcohol was also frightened to wake up.

When the noise outside disappeared, Lu Bu didn't dare to stay any longer, got up and left Yuan Shao's camp.

Not long after Lu Bu left, a knife and axe man rushed into Lu Bu's tent and slashed at the bed.

Knowing that Lu Bu had been chopped into mashed meat, Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief.

I didn't want anyone to come early the next morning to report that Lu Bu was not dead, and there was no one on the bed at all.

Yuan Shao woke up in shock and ordered to pursue Lu Bu, and he must not be allowed to escape, otherwise his reputation would be damaged.

In order to avoid pursuit, Lu Bu could only take a remote path, so his speed was not fast.

He wanted to go to Bingzhou to join Han Sui, but he didn't want to be caught up by Yuan Shao's pursuers halfway.

But in the face of Lu Bu's powerful force, the pursuers did not dare to approach at all, and in the end they could only watch Lu Bu ride away quickly on a red rabbit horse.

On the way to Bingzhou, Lu Bu passed through Chen Liu, and was warmly entertained by Chen Liu's Taishou Zhang Miao, and the two made a blood alliance and swore to be good.

Between tossing and turning, the time has come to May of the fourth year of Chuping.

At the junction of Bingzhou and Liangzhou, Zhang Liao of Liangzhou led an army of 100,000 to confront the Xiongnu Youxian King to Bei, the Xiongnu army was 80,000, and later Xianbei Fuluo Han led 20,000 troops to join, and the total strength also reached 100,000.

The white wave and yellow turban were in charge of their military rations, and they couldn't hold each other for a while.

During the period, there were continuous small battles, and the two sides won and lost each other, and in general, the Liangzhou army still had an advantage in equipment.

It's just that both sides are afraid of each other's forces and dare not rashly start a big war.

Yuan Shao also officially started the battle with Gongsun Zhan, and Liu Bei, who was the prime minister of the plains, also joined in with his two righteous brothers.

In general, Yuan Shao had a lot of soldiers and enough food, and there were many military generals in Wenchen, occupying a certain advantage.

Although Gongsun Zhan has few soldiers, most of his soldiers are border troops guarding the border of the Han Dynasty, and they have fought many times with foreign tribes such as Wuhuan and Xianbei, and they can be said to have experienced a hundred battles, so even if the troops are not as good as Yuan Shao, they also fight well.

Especially an elite cavalry under the command of Gongsun Zhan, because Gongsun Chan is known as the White Horse General, so this cavalry calls itself the White Horse Righteous Servant, and has repeatedly performed miraculous feats against Yuan Shao.

Especially one of the white-robed young generals, he is like a dragon in marksmanship, and the enemy he faces is rarely able to support several rounds.

At the time of the battle between Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zhan, a wealthy family in Qian County was moving his family.

He is Cao Cao's father, Cao Song.

Cao Song was originally a son of the Xiahou family, because Cao Teng made a small yellow door in order to accompany Emperor Huan of Han to study, and Cao Song was passed on to Cao Teng.

After that, Cao Teng was awarded the title of Marquis of Fei Pavilion because of his meritorious service in supporting Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty.

Cao Song also followed Cao Teng's relationship, soared all the way, and successively served as Sili Lieutenant, Da Honglu, and Da Si Nong, ranking Jiuqing.

Cao Song is different from Cao Teng, he was corrupt and bribed during his reign and accumulated a lot of family wealth, so when Emperor Ling sold his official position, he bought himself an official position as a lieutenant, ranking one of the three dukes.

After the Yellow Turban rebellion, Cao Song was deposed, and he returned to his hometown in Qian County, but he has accumulated a lot of family wealth for many years as an official.

When Dong Zhuo was in turmoil, Cao Cao raised an army to fight, although Cao Song was afraid of being implicated and unwilling to follow, but he still gave Cao Cao a lot of assistance, which is why Cao Cao was able to obtain so many troops in the early stage.

This time, Cao Cao welcomed the emperor, and Cao Song happily moved his family, and took his youngest son Cao De to Xuchang to join Cao Cao.

When passing by Xuzhou, Xuzhou Mu Taoqian treated Cao Song warmly.

Tao Qian didn't want to get involved in the world's disputes, he just wanted to protect the peace of Xuzhou, so he naturally wanted to make friends with the increasingly powerful Cao Cao.

In order to protect Cao Song's thoroughness all the way, Tao Qian also sent a lieutenant to escort him.

But he didn't want to be sent by Tao Qian's lieutenant named Zhang Min, this Zhang Min was originally from a rogue, and when he saw Cao Song's entourage of dozens of vehicles, all of which were full of property, he suddenly became interested in money, killed Cao Song and his party, and fled to Runan with his belongings to join Yuan Shu.

When Cao Cao learned that his father and younger brother had been killed, he was overwhelmed with grief and immediately ordered an army to attack Tao Qian.

And regardless of Xun Yu's dissuasion, he said that he wanted to slaughter Xuzhou.

When Tao Qian learned of this, he was also shocked, and he sent envoys many times to explain to Cao Cao, but each time only the head of the envoy was sent back.

Tao Qian was also helpless, so he could only recruit troops and prepare to meet Cao Cao.

"Wen Ruo, the lord's move is to avenge his father, and the second is to occupy Xuzhou, you should know that Xuzhou is the place where the lord must take it."

Seeing Xun Yu's worried face, Mao Yu persuaded him.

"I naturally know that attacking Xuzhou is a process that must be experienced, but it is very inappropriate for the lord to say that he is pre-slaughtering Xuzhou."

With Xun Yu's wisdom, he certainly knew that attacking Xuzhou was something that Cao Cao had to go through in his expansion, but he didn't agree with Cao Cao's move to slaughter the city.

Now Cao Cao has occupied Qingzhou, Yuzhou, and Gunzhou, and it is difficult for both sides to expand further, otherwise they will have to face Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan and Liu Biao, and now the only route is to attack Xuzhou, and Cao Song's death just gave Cao Cao an excuse.

"Wen Ruo also needs to be considerate of the lord's feelings."

Mao Jue smiled awkwardly, he actually didn't approve of this move, but Cao Cao insisted on going his own way, what could he do.

Coupled with the generals of the Cao family and the Xiahou family, no one could stop Cao Cao at all.

"Hey."

Xun Yu sighed helplessly and continued to deal with the official documents in the land.

He knew that Cao Cao was indeed a master, knew how to make good use of people, used people without suspicion, and was sympathetic to the soldiers and the people, but this character still had some flaws.

At the same time that Cao Cao sent troops to Xuzhou, Yuan Shu also took the opportunity to send troops, intending to get a piece of the pie.

In July of the fourth year of the first peace, Cao Cao's army pulled out more than ten cities, Cao Jiang banned 20,000 troops, Ke Guangwei (east of Pei County), went down along Surabaya, and took Pengcheng directly.

Cao Cao's main force was 50,000, and the forward Cao Renshuai had 20,000 troops to attack Tao Qian's general Lu You, and after breaking the city, he joined forces with Cao Cao.

Tao Qian's 40,000-strong army came to meet Cao Cao, but was defeated and fled all the way to Pengcheng, followed by Cao Cao's army.

However, in the face of Cao Cao and Yu Ban's army, Tao Qian was defeated again in Pengcheng and could only continue to escape.

Tao Qian fled all the way to Tancheng, while Cao Cao took the opportunity to capture Pengcheng.

At that time, Tao Qian's reputation in Xuzhou was very high, and most of the displaced people who attached to Tao Qian stayed in Pengcheng, and the number was more than 100,000.

After Cao Cao occupied Pengcheng, he ordered the slaughter of the city, killing tens of thousands of people.

The rest of the people fled from Pengcheng, but were confronted by Cao Cao's cavalry.

The people were driven into the Surabaya River by Cao Cao's army, drowning 100,000 people, and it is said that the corpses were piled up in the river, cutting off the river's flow.

By September of the fourth year of the first peace, Cao Cao had successively captured Fei, Hua, Jimo, Kaiyang and other cities, and Xuzhou had been occupied by Cao Cao.

Tao Qian dispatched troops to resist Cao Cao, and asked his friend Tian Kai for help.

This Tian Kai was originally the assassin of Qingzhou, and later attached to the command of Gongsun Zhan, at this time he was fighting against Yuan Shao in Gunzhou.

Because Yuan Shao's army was strong, Tian Kai was unable to take care of Tao Qian, so he told Gongsun Zan about it.

Gongsun Zhan didn't have time to take care of Tao Qian, so he just asked Liu Bei, the prime minister of the plains, to lead 3,000 soldiers to the rescue, and at the same time he also sent a general to assist Liu Bei.

After Liu Bei arrived, he immediately repaired a letter and sent it to Cao Cao, asking Cao Cao to withdraw his troops quickly, accusing Cao Cao of attacking his colleagues for no reason, and slaughtering the city in Xuzhou, etc., in a very harsh tone, which made Cao Cao very unhappy.

"Lord, how can Liu Bei be virtuous, just came to accuse the lord, I will lead 10,000 troops to exterminate Liu Bei tomorrow and bring his head to the lord."

Xiahoudun had the hottest temper, and he was furious after listening to Cao Cao's letter about Liu Bei.

"Big brother, don't be impatient, this matter is still up to the lord."

Xiahou Yuan got up and grabbed his brother.

"Liu Bei'er is not worried, we have to think about how to take Xuzhou now, Yuan Highway that kid has been very strong recently, and he has already occupied a lot of cities."

After the massacre of the city in Pengcheng, Cao Cao's mood has calmed down a lot, and recently received letters from Xun Yu and some ministers in the court, and Cao Cao also regretted the massacre.

Just when Cao Cao was discussing tomorrow's war with the generals, suddenly a personal soldier came to report, and Xun Yu sent a letter.

Cao Cao was a little helpless to ask someone to send the letter, and he had already replied to Xun Yu, expressing his remorse for the slaughter of the city, but he didn't expect another letter to be sent, and it was estimated that his letter had not yet been delivered.

Cao Cao still attaches great importance to Xun Yu, and even though he is in a meeting now, he began to give priority to opening Xun Yu's letter.

"What."

Cao Cao stood up abruptly.

The generals looked at Cao Cao suspiciously, not knowing what Xun Yu's letter said.

"Dongjun Taishou Chen Gong rebelled, he welcomed Lu Bu into Dongjun, and stayed with Chen Taishou Zhang Miao, and jointly promoted Lu Bu as the pastor of Gunzhou."

"How can this be reasonable, then Chen Gong..."

The generals were abusive, because Zhang Miao was not under Cao Cao, so the main people they cursed were Lu Bu and Chen Gong, especially Chen Gong, traitors were not welcome in any era.

"Lord, retire the army."

When the generals were scolding, Xi Zhicai got up and said to Cao Cao.

"Gunzhou is the foundation of the lord, and now the rear is under attack, the army is unstable, and An Neng continues to attack Xuzhou."

Hearing Xi Zhicai's words, all the generals quieted down, looked at Cao Cao quietly, and waited for Cao Cao's decision.

"Retreat."

After thinking about it for a while, Cao Cao made a decision.

"It's cheap, Liu Bei."

Xiahoudun said a little unwillingly.

Only then did everyone react, Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, and Cao Cao withdrew with just a letter, at least in terms of results.

"Liu Bei is just a small person, so there is no need to mind."

Cao Cao didn't care much about Liu Bei's letter, he was now more worried about the situation in Gunzhou, so he ordered the army to pack up and prepare to set off to rescue Gunzhou that night.

Knowing that Liu Bei's letter made Cao Cao retreat, Tao Qian was overjoyed and immediately invited Liu Bei to enter Xuzhou City and treat him as a guest.

Liu Bei was not complacent about Cao Cao's withdrawal from the army, he actually knew that Cao Cao could not withdraw from the army just because of his own letter, but it was always a good thing in terms of results.

So Liu Bei invited himself to lead the troops to retreat Yuan Shu's soldiers, and there were no generals under Tao Qian at this time.

At that time, there were three great families in Xuzhou, one of which was the Mi family, and the head of the family was Mi Zhu, not a person who could command the army.

The other family is the Chen family, whose head is named Chen Qi, and his son Chen Deng are both famous people in Xuzhou, but they are not good at commanding troops.

The last family is the Cao family, but it has nothing to do with Cao Cao, the head of the family is called Cao Bao, but he is a general who commands the army, but unfortunately Tao Qian knows the details of this person, and there is more than enough success and failure.

For Liu Bei's request, Tao Qian gladly accepted and allocated 12,000 people to Liu Bei, which brought Liu Bei's corporal to 15,000 at once.

Commanding so many armies for the first time made the three brothers Liu Guan and Zhang look arrogant, vowing to repel Zhu Ling, the general of Yuan Shu.

Knowing that Cao Cao had withdrawn from the army, Yuan Shu did not want to have too much entanglement with Tao Qian, and after a few battles with Liu Bei, he also withdrew from Xuzhou, but plundered a lot of wealth from the occupied city.

Lu Bu had been sending people to the fence before, and at the invitation of Chen Gong, he happily went to Gunzhou.

Because of Cao Cao's massacre of the city, and Chen Gong did a lot of effort, Lu Bu served as the pastor of Gunzhou, and there were many responders in the county under Cao Cao's rule.

After gathering the forces of these people and the armies of Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao (Zhang Miao's younger brother), Lü Bu also instantly became a prince with 100,000 troops.
