Cao Cao has sent troops to occupy all the counties around Chaoge, after all, under the rule of Li Dao and Guo Yan, the defense of that place has become vulnerable, and when the defending troops there County Ling County Cheng and others saw that Cao Cao and Cao Xing's soldiers were pressing, they were all frightened and fled, where could they take care of any defense.

Therefore, Cao Cao easily occupied all the four counties around him, and Cao Xing's next deployment was to do the same thing as Cao Cao, directly occupying all the three surrounding counties, obviously, Cao Xuan also knew one thing, he defeated Cao Cao, but the victory or defeat of a battle was not enough for Cao Cao to retreat.

If you want to defeat Cao Cao completely, it seems that the only way to do this is to temporarily turn this place into your temporary seat of governance and start one tug of war after another with Cao Cao.

In the next month, the two sides started the contest again, and Cao Xing had to admire the current Cao Cao, who was already familiar with the art of war.

Every time the battle was led by Xiahou Yuan under Cao Cao, Xiahou Yuan led the troops, at first it seemed to be a chaotic attack, but the attack was very fierce, when Lu Bu learned that Xiahou Yuan led the troops to attack, without saying a word, he carried his Fang Tianhua halberd and raised his arms, and then led people to kill the past, Xiahou Yuan saw Lu Bu rushing over, and directly waved his hand to order his men to retreat, don't fight hard with Lu Bu, after all, when Lu Bu was rampant in Yanzhou, Lu Bu's suffering he also had enough.

However, every time Xiahou Yuan's retreat seemed to be chaotic, in fact, it was very orderly, retreating slowly to minimize casualties, and even when retreating, he would unexpectedly ambush the soldiers with both hands, so as to catch Lu Bu off guard, anyway, Lu Bu did not take much advantage of this coming and going.

So during this month, the two sides attacked each other, but they didn't achieve much effect, until something happened a month later.

Xu Chu and Dian Wei led the troops to attack again, and this time, Xu Chu and Dian Wei also chose the way of night attack, and directly killed all the more than 500 soldiers arranged by Cao Xuan to patrol, and when the news reached Cao Xing's military camp, Cao Xuan also felt very angry.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Cao Xing commanded more than 30,000 troops at one time, which seems to be infinitely beautiful and has the style of a general, but only Cao Xuan knows how bitter his heart is.

Cao Cao occupies Yanzhou, Cao Xing occupies the state, and the gap between Yanzhou and the state has an economic gap, a population gap, and more of a talent gap.

Cao Cao, who has these backgrounds, launched an attack on Cao Xuan three times and twice, making Cao Xuan feel anxious, if it is just Cao Cao's attack, Cao Xuan can fight back, but the problem is here, Cao Xuan looked at the information in his hand, and his expression was a little crazy.

Cao Cao just didn't play with Cao Xing, and wanted to be a little yin with Cao Xing, and the defense line in the east, Xu Shu frequently sent reports, saying that Yuan Shao had sent a large army again, and constantly drilled soldiers and horses in Zhao County and Wei County, asking for Cao Xing's instructions.

Although Cao Xing also deduced that Yuan Shao should not dare to rush into the army, but then again, who can say this kind of thing clearly, if one day Yuan Shao discovers a loophole in Cao Xing's deployment, seize the time, and suddenly catch Cao Xing off guard, then Cao Xing will not lose a lot.

So in the face of Yuan Shao's harassment, there may be only one way, Cao Xing once again allocated some soldiers and horses to Xu Shu, so that Xu Shu can guard the east with peace of mind.

But it is this kind of strategy that makes Cao Xuan feel a sense of distress, attacking from both sides, it is indeed a little disadvantageous to him, and today the news of the annihilation of more than 500 soldiers came, Cao Xuan felt even more unhappy, and the most upset thing for Cao Xuan was that as soon as the news came, a herald hurriedly ran into the barracks, glanced at Cao Xing and said.

"Report! Lord, General Lu Bu, he ......"

Wanting to hear this, Cao Xing raised his head, and his eyebrows were quite helpless, in fact, when Cao Xing asked Lu Bu to go out of the mountain, he should have taken this issue into account, Lu Bu fought bravely, and he could indeed beat those generals under Cao, but then again, Lu Bu was a casual person, and it was okay for him to help Cao Xing fight, but you always had to give him an army in order to make him happy.

Lu Bu promised Cao Xing on the surface that he was willing to obey orders, but in fact, once he had military power, he began to do his own thing, no military orders at all, all by virtue of his prestige to transfer troops, if you ask where Lu Bu's prestige is, it goes without saying, it is naturally his unparalleled martial arts, the army is a place to worship the strong, Lu Bu with this, naturally quickly gained a firm foothold in the army, and there is a wave of followers, which is unavoidable. Even Chen Hu was respectful to him, after all, he was the number one general in the world, and he had to mention Chen Hu's martial arts from time to time.

This time, when this battle report reached Lu Bu's ears, Lu Bu's whole person was also furious, he felt that with him here, Xu Chu Dianwei's children actually dared to play knives in front of him, in this case, it was necessary for him to catch these two guys and repair them fiercely, and immediately, he asked Chen Hu to order a thousand troops to fight with him.

In the face of Lu Bu's request, Chen Hu also felt very helpless, Lu Bu was too arrogant, and he wanted to fight without any military order, but Lu Bu's identity was very special, he was invited by Cao Xing, so Lu Bu's face still had to be given, not to mention that Chen Hu had also been mentioned by Lu Bu's martial arts, and finally Chen Hu thought of a compromise solution, according to Lu Bu's requirements, he went to the barracks to order troops, and on the other hand, he directly sent someone to inform Cao Xing to see how Cao Xing was going to do it.

Cao Xuan shook the fist in his hand, for Lu Bu, Cao Xuan has always had an idea in his mind, that is, simply give Lu Bu a soldier and indulge him, of course, Lu Bu is definitely not the kind of person who does not know the importance of it, once the enemy army attacks, Lu Bu is definitely the first to lead the troops to rush forward, which may not be a good thing.

However, when Cao Xuan was about to say this, his eyes were inadvertently aimed at the combat sand table in the center of the big war, and he involuntarily walked over, anxious The general next to him asked.

"Where should he be now, Lu Bu!"

A general did not hesitate, and directly pointed to a place: "The location where our army was attacked last night is here, and now that General Lu Bu has gone out to pursue, they should also withdraw to the camp, according to the tutorial, it should be here!" ”

I saw that the general's finger finally landed in a place, Cao Xing looked at it intently, and after a while, the whole person was startled.

Cao Xing finally understood in his heart, why Xu Chu Dianwei wanted to come to such a sneak attack, they not only wanted to harass Cao Xing, but more importantly, they wanted to lure Lu Bu, this is clearly a trap, this looks like a hilly area, in fact, both sides are overgrown with weeds, if Lu Bu runs over, it will be equivalent to getting into the tiger's mouth, and when the time comes, others will surround you on both sides, won't they make you dumplings.

Cao Xing was shocked in his heart, there were only a thousand people around Lu Bu, and Chen Hu also followed, if something happened to the two of them, Cao Xing would lose a lot, Cao Xing didn't think much about it, and immediately ordered his subordinates to order troops.

Wei Yan and the others didn't dare to slack off, and immediately ordered three thousand soldiers and horses to attack with Cao Xing.

Cao Xing's initiative to attack caused a lot of shock in the barracks, after all, many people knew that Lu Bu might have been ambushed, and before leaving, Cao Xing also specially instructed the lieutenants in the army to let them stay in the barracks and not take the initiative until he came back, so at this moment these lieutenants could only pace anxiously in the military tent, without any way.

But at this moment, another person suddenly broke into the barracks, and these lieutenants saw it, and hurriedly went up to salute, because the person who came was none other than Jia Xu, Jia Xu has now been defined as Cao Xing's number one military division, so these lieutenants are naturally very respectful to Jia Xu.

Jia Xu also just returned from inspecting the border today. As soon as he came back, he heard that Lu Bu and Cao Xing took the initiative to attack, he didn't care about the words of these lieutenants, but walked directly to the front of the sand table, squinted his eyes for a long time, and suddenly his eyebrows were shocked.

"It's broken!"

Jia Xu's words startled all the lieutenants in the barracks, but before they could react, Jia Xu immediately turned to look at them and asked with burning eyes.

"Who are the generals in the army at this moment!"

Seeing that Jia Xu was so anxious, a deputy general didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Tell the military master, the lord deliberately left General Wei Yan before leaving, and let General Wei Yan continue to order troops and come to help!" ”

When Jia Xu heard this, he was a dozen hands back: "After all, the lord underestimated Cao Cao, how could Cao Cao's purpose be a Lu Bu, Cao Cao clearly wanted the lord's life!" ”

As soon as I heard Jia Xu say this, all the lieutenants in the army were born in a barren, but unfortunately Cao Xing has now led the troops out of the barracks, and it is impossible to chase them back.

Jia Xu was still calm, he just pondered for a moment before making a decision, only to hear him say to the adjutant general: "Go and inform General Wei Yan immediately, he will order troops, but don't spend too much time, at most a quarter of an hour, take as many soldiers and horses as you order, and take as many soldiers and horses out to rescue the lord, and there must be no delay!" ”

At this moment, Cao Xuan had already led people to run away, Cao Xuan was carrying a broad-headed knife on his back, carrying a bow and arrows, and rushed there as fast as possible.

After almost half an hour, Cao Xuan finally found that the smoke and dust were billowing in front of him, the wolf smoke was full, and the shouts of killing were intertwined.

Lu Bu led the troops to resist before, but when he saw Lu Bu coming, Xu Chu Dianwei and the two did not hesitate to retreat directly, Lu Bu also thought that Xu Chu Dianwei must have been killed by him, so he was in a good mood and directly led the troops to chase and kill, but he was ambushed.
