Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a month is almost gone.

"Ziang, the price of chickens has risen tenfold, do you still want to buy it, if you buy it again, it will cost a lot of money," Mi Zhu rubbed his forehead and said, I can't believe that the value of a chicken has increased tenfold in a short period of time.

Liu Yi was a little surprised, and said, "Wasn't it five times as much yesterday, how could it be in a blink of an eye?" ”

Mi Zhu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ziang, businessmen are profit-seeking, we have been buying chickens for almost a month, and we are still buying, fools know that we need a lot of money, and deliberately raise the price." ”

Liu Yi snorted coldly, considering that the locust plague was coming soon, he said, "If you don't buy it, these chickens are almost enough, so be it." ”

Mi Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, the price of the chicken is estimated to rise if he buys it again, it is really crazy, fortunately, Liu Yi has some reason and said, "Obey." ”

Liu Yi raised his head and said to Xi Zhicai: "Zhicai, are the white-robed troops back, a month is enough for them to mobilize a lot of back and forth." ”

Xi Zhicai put down the bamboo slip and replied with a smile: "I'm back, I just arrived today, and Wen He asked us if we needed him to come back." ”

Liu Yi shook his head and said: "Wenhe can't come back, if this kind of thing is called back, then the family in Xuzhou must be suspicious, now Wenhe is a person who is excluded, no matter what happens, he can't be allowed to come back, and besides, this time the battle is not so difficult." ”

Xi Zhicai nodded yes, both sides are planning, if they can pass this level, it won't be long before Liu Bei's power will take off.

Liu Yi closed the bamboo slip and said, "Prepare the whole army, prepare to enter a state of war, and set off in three days." ”

Cao Cao was very heartbroken, before the expedition he made arrangements for the rear, led by Xiahoudun to lead an army to stay in Dongjun, Cao Cao was the Taishou of Dongjun before entering Yan, this area is his core base, Dongjun people Chen Gong stayed to assist him, plus Xun Yu stayed in the base camp Dongjun. Let Cheng Yu and Xun Yu follow the expedition, and after everything was arranged, Cao Cao felt that there was no problem. But after coming back, there is no hometown left, only Dongjun is left, if it weren't for Xun Yu and Xiahou's inseparability, there would be no place to come back.

After saying that, Cao Cao was also a little lucky, if it weren't for Xun Yu's quick decision, Dongjun is estimated to be gone, Zhang Miao's betrayal, Lu Bu's invasion, according to some details, Xun Yu immediately judged that Yanzhou had changed, Zhang Miao had reversed, and Lu Bu was about to arrive, and the situation was very dangerous. Xun Yu did not panic at all, and quickly made measures and sent people to Puyang to inform Xiahoudun to meet in Dongjun, and the whole city was strictly guarded and waited for help.

At that time, after Lu Bu arrived in Yanzhou with Chen Gong, he joined Zhang Miao first. Lü Bu led his army to Puyang, an important town in Dongjun, and it happened that Xiahoudun had just come out of Puyang to meet Lü Bu's army, and both sides were taken aback, and after a short clash between the two armies, Lü Bu broke away from the battle first, and sent people to pretend to surrender. Xiahoudun continued to hurry, and not long after, Lu Bu's deceitful people took advantage of Xiahoudun's unpreparedness to kidnap him. Instead of killing Xiahoudun, they made a strange request: hand over the money! It may be a delaying tactic waiting for Lu Bu.

There was a great chaos in Xiahoudun's army, only the deputy general Han Hao was very calm, he asked people to guard the gate of the camp, and then shouted to the kidnappers: "You people, you dare to kidnap our general, don't you want to die!" Our general is just right, how can you let us stop because of your hostage, don't be whimsical. Han Hao said to Xiahoudun with a sad face: "General, I'm sorry, I can't afford to lose the sound of the grain and grass army, and I am also very helpless." So he led his troops to attack the hijackers. When Lu Bujun saw it, he hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, but Han Hao ignored them and slaughtered them all, while Xiahoudun was unscathed.

Lü Bu had previously evacuated from the battlefield and went straight to Puyang, which Xiahoudun had just abandoned, to occupy it, and also obtained a lot of baggage from Xiahoudun. After a false alarm, Xiahoudun commanded his men and horses to retreat to Dongjun.

After Lü Bu occupied Puyang, all counties and counties in Yanzhou responded positively, there were nearly seventy-two counties in the whole state, almost all of them rebelled, only the eastern county where Cao Cao was located, because Cao Cao's army was there, and Xun Yu was in the town, there was no rebellion, or did not dare to rebel.

It can be seen from here that Cao Cao was very unsuccessful in local management after he became the ruler of Yanzhou, and the reason why he was supported at the beginning was because he obtained Yanzhou with lightning speed, but after that, he used his troops excessively, and focused on the war with Yuan Shu, Tao Qian and others, and did not pay attention to the needs of the people in Yanzhou, causing dissatisfaction among most people.

Later, Xun Yu and Xiahoudun stepped up their defense in Juancheng and actively prepared for war, but a force of tens of thousands of men and horses came from outside the city, and the number of people was as high as tens of thousands, and the city suddenly became nervous. They are not Lu Bu, nor Chen Gong, they are Guo Gong, the assassin of Yuzhou, and they want to see Xun Yu by name. At this time, most of Yuzhou was still in the hands of Yuan Shu, and this Guo Gong may be the local representative of Yuzhou supported by Yuan Shu. Xiahoudun and others felt that it was too dangerous to persuade Xun Yu not to go, and Xun Yu's analysis hit the nail on the head: "There are not many contacts between Guo Gong and Zhang Miao, and now they are in such a hurry, which shows that this is not their action after consultation together." While Guo Gong has not yet made up his mind, I can lobby him not to help us in time, at least let him remain neutral. If he avoided it, he would be suspicious, which would prompt him to form an alliance with Zhang Miao. ”

Xun Yu then went out of the city and came to see Guo Gong alone. As a result, Xun Yu expected, when he saw that Xun Yu had no fear, he estimated that the city was already right, and it might not be easy to attack, and he was not happy to make enemies with Cao Cao, so he led his troops to return south.

Dongjun is Cao Cao's old base, Hebei region borders Yuan Shao, easy to defend and difficult to attack, Lu Bu Chen Gong and the two of them after consultation, temporarily placed Dongjun, the rest of Yanzhou into the soil, blocking the way back for Cao Cao in Xuzhou.

Xue Yi, Zao Yi, Jin Yun and others were all Yanzhou people, in this large-scale rebellion, they not only did not participate, but also played a mainstay role at the critical juncture of Cao Cao's career, helping Xun Yu to hold the last base of Dongjun, buying precious time for Cao Cao's return to the army, and winning a foothold for Cao Cao's counterattack.

Cao Cao Xuzhou was defeated, and when he returned to Yanzhou, I wiped it, and his hometown was gone, so he hurriedly ordered someone to investigate the news and knew the form of Yanzhou. At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xun Yu and Xiahoudun had guarded Dongjun for him, knowing that he had to join Xun Yu, observing the map, there were four roads to choose from: Kangfu Road in Rencheng County, Mountain Road in Taishan County, Flat Land in Lu Kingdom, and Northern Peiguo. Among them, Kang's father was called by Su Qin "The car can't be square, and the ride can't be parallel." 100 people are in danger, 1,000 people can't cross the extremely steep traffic artery, this is the place where you must pass, if you take a detour elsewhere, it will greatly delay time. Cao Cao believed that if he was Lu Bu, he would inevitably garrison a large army in Dongping and divide his troops to guard Rencheng and Mount Tai. Therefore, Cao Hong led an army, took the lead in arriving in Dongping, settled in Fan County, and found no signs of Lu Bu's heavy guards, so he began to move, and Cao Cao asked Cao Hong to stay in Dongping to collect grain and grass, and take Shanyang and Jiyin County. After going straight to Dongjun, although Lu Bu was blocking Cao Cao, he didn't know which way Cao Cao chose, and Cao Cao had Xun Yu Cheng Yu's anti-sky astrological signs, and finally returned to Dongjun in embarrassment.

This is also Cao Cao's anxious homecoming, his heart is very angry, and the war with Lu Bu and Zhang Miao is about to break out.

One day in June, people saw a solar eclipse in the sky.

Liu Yi stood at the door of the Chengyang Government Affairs Hall, looked at the eclipse scene in the sky, and said, "Kong Ming, what does this celestial phenomenon mean. ”

Zhuge Liang was shocked, really shocked, is there really someone who can strategize? In a month's time, it can be counted as a natural disaster, Zhuge Liang was a little unbelieving before, but today he believes it completely.

He replied, "When the sun is eclipsed, there will be calamity." ”

Guo Jia was also surprised, he didn't expect Liu Yi to really be so godly, and the admiration in his heart was endless.

The locust plague is coming, and the war has begun, Liu Yi looked at the direction of Yanzhou, his hand behind his back clenched into a fist, this time, we must save the people of the Han Dynasty from fire and water, this time, there will be no more scenes of corpses all over the field, this time, the goal in my heart will definitely be achieved.

At Liu Yi's house, Cai Wenji was sorting out Liu Yi's clothes, a little aggrieved, and said: "Do you have to go, can you not go, the war is so terrible, in case ...... In case .................."

The rest of the words couldn't be spoken, Liu Yi also knew Cai Wenji's worries, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm Liu Yi Liu Ziang, this time is very important, not only the importance of the war, I want to fight against natural disasters, I don't worry about handing it over to others." ”

Cai Wenji cried out all of a sudden, the longer the contact, the deeper the love, Cai Wenji has fallen in love with Liu Yi deeply, caring about herself all the time, caring about her feelings in everything she does, Cai Wenji never thought of marrying such a man, but the more she is like this, the more afraid he will leave, crying and saying: "You must come back safely, we don't have a baby yet." ”

Liu Yi heard the laughter, gently wiped Cai Wenji's tears with his hand, and said: "Don't cry, if you cry again, you will become a little cat, I promise you, I will come back safely, and I will make a baby with you every day when the time comes." ”

Cai Wenji hit Liu Yi a few times with her small fist, hugged her for a while, and then Liu Yi left, and Cai Wenji kept her eyes until she couldn't see her figure.

At the gate of Chengyang, there were 20,000 cavalry, 80,000 infantry, Zhao Yun, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Liu Yi, Guo Jiaxi, strong soldiers, strong horses, and many strong soldiers.

"Ziang, this time you are not required to win the battle, but you must come back safely." Liu Bei said sincerely, the current Liu Bei does not lack a chassis, Qingzhou Xuzhou, it only takes a while to increase his strength, but Liu Yi wants to save the people, Liu Bei has no reason not to let him go.

Liu Yi nodded with a smile and said: "Xuande Gong don't worry, there will be no problems, you are in Qingzhou, you must arrange the harvest of crops in Qingzhou, don't covet that little crop, what you can get is our thing." ”

Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully, and asked them one by one.

Lu Zhi walked over and patted Liu Yi on the shoulder, and said, "This time, it's a real war, remember, don't be merciful to the enemy." ”

Liu Yi nodded and said with a smile: "Teacher, I know, don't worry." ”

Lu Wei sighed, after all, he still didn't make up his mind, maybe he wanted to live for two more years, or maybe he was worried about his youngest son.

The whole army set off, there were no slogans, no rewards, and all the people in the army were very serious, neatly aligned, and marched towards Yanzhou.

Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and Zhao Yun each commanded an army, yes, Zhao Yun, only Jia Xu is acting in Xuzhou now, no one has experience in commanding cavalry battles, and Zhao Yun fell over, so Zhao Yun will not return to Xuzhou.

At the same time, Yanzhou had already started fighting, this was the first time that Cao Cao and Lü Bu fought face-to-face, the place of the battle took place on the plain east of Puyang City, Cao Cao was angry, Lü Bu wanted to drive Cao Cao away, Zhang Miao listened to orders under Lü Bu's tent.

Cao Cao walked to the front of the formation and said: "Meng Zhuo, I treat you well, do you remember when we were talking to Dong together, what a happy time it was, you are now, how, alas, it makes me sad." ”

Zhang Miao walked to the front and said: "Why are you talking so much, things have happened, either you die or I die, I was really grateful to you before, but your relationship with Yuan Shao is so good, maybe one day I will die under your hands." ”

Cao Cao covered his heart with one hand and said bitterly: "How could I, Cao Mengde, do that kind of thing to harm my brother, Yuan Shao is just using me, if I wanted to do it, I would have done it a long time ago, Meng Zhuo, how can you look at me like this, don't be bewitched by others, go back, I am not to blame for the past." ”

Zhang Miao looked at Cao Cao with a heart-wrenching look, a little overwhelmed, the imaginary scolding did not appear, Zhang Miao didn't know what else to do.

Chen Gong secretly said with a waste, walked to the front and said: "Cao Mengde, you slaughtered the people of my Han Dynasty, made Xuzhou bleed, and killed Brother Meng Zhuo's good friend Bian Rang, just a crazy person like you, and said that you would not blame the past, is it really a three-year-old child?" ”

Zhang Miao nodded silently when he heard Chen Gong's words, and then retreated to Lu Bu's camp, the meaning was already obvious.

When Cao Cao saw it, he sighed deeply, and his success fell short.

Chen Gong didn't give Cao Cao a chance to quibble, and said: "The Tao is not the same, today we are going to kill you, a thief full of evil, for the people of the world, let's go to war." ”

Cao Cao didn't defend it, everyone said so, what else could he say, and his eyes were very cold when he looked at Chen Gong.

The soldiers who participated in the war on Cao Cao's side were: Le Jin, Yu Ban, Xiahou Dun, Xu Chu, and Lou Yi. Lu Bu's side is unknown, but all the riders should be present. Cao Cao took Lejin as the first and the infantry as the main force in the middle, although this army was not an elite army, but in the battle-hardened formation, Cao Cao thought that they could pick up the burden.

After the two armies launched the formation, Lu Bu personally commanded the cavalry to kill, and the iron hooves of the state swept out, the sound of the horses' hooves was like muffled thunder, mixed with the howls of thousands of people, and rushed straight towards the infantry. Many of these infantry had learned this kind of fighting two years ago, and in the Battle of Dongguang, 100,000 strong men were killed by Gongsun Zhan, and they had never faced such a powerful cavalry attack since then. At present, the momentum of the iron cavalry of Bingzhou is even more terrifying, the psychological defense line collapsed instantly, the Cao army was in chaos, the army scattered and fled, not caring about the orders of the main general, only caring about his own escape, Lu Bu tore Cao Cao's formation to pieces, and chased and killed the deserters like a storm. Cao Cao fell off his horse in the confusion and bruised the palm of his left hand, Lu Bu's cavalry was just a stone's throw away, and Lou Yi hurriedly helped Cao Cao up on his horse and was able to escape.

After this battle, Cao Cao saw Lü Bu's cavalry tactics, Lü Bu gathered the cavalry together, adopted the tactics of concentrating mobility, turned the overall disadvantage into a local advantage, and struck the enemy like lightning, so that the enemy lost his morale under the sudden threat, so that he would collapse immediately under the first huge blow. In addition, there was another factor that led to Cao Cao's defeat, that is, in this battle, Cao Cao's cavalry did not play its due role, and most of the excellent cavalry generals Cao Ren did not participate in the battle. There was also the famous general Xiahou Yuan, who also did not fight, and this time, Cao Cao was defeated very badly.

Xun You calmly analyzed: "Lord, the main force of the cavalry is not here, transfer them over, otherwise we won't be able to defeat Lu Bu." ”

Cao Cao shook his head and said: "Don't worry, although Lu Bu is brave, but he has no strategy, the cavalry is our hole card, and it must be used at a critical time, and it will be killed with one blow." ”

Xun You has a black line on his face, and he will kill with one blow, that is under the condition that the strength of the two sides is equal, so that he can hide the hole cards to surprise the other party, and now there is obviously a big gap in strength, how to fight, but Cao Cao is the lord, this time Xun You did not speak.

After losing the first battle and demoralizing Cao's army, Cao Cao personally worked the army regardless of his injuries and ordered the construction of siege equipment. The offensive continued, but there was no progress, and a standoff between the two sides formed. For Lu Bu, although the defeat of Cao Cao in Puyang boosted morale, there was no way to retreat behind him, and he had to defend Puyang, a strategic place. He divided two groups of men and horses to deploy a camp in the south and west of Puyang to defend the main city of Puyang and form horns against Cao Cao's army.

Soon, Cao Cao selected a small but very elite army, handed over to the command of the ban, quietly withdrew from the front line, and then went straight to Lü Bu Nantun, and quickly withdrew after taking two camps.

Cao Cao's sneak attack was successful, and he didn't suffer much loss, and tasted the sweetness. said with a smile: "Wen Ruo, see it, they must defend Puyang, we have the initiative, and everything will turn around soon." ”

Xun You shook his head, unwilling to fight Cao Cao, and decided that he must take Cheng Yu to follow Cao Cao in the future, otherwise it is very likely that Cao Cao will play himself to death, Xun You is such a character, do not fight or grab, you give me the task, I will give you a good job, if you don't say it, then I will watch from the sidelines, anyway, how can you hurt the enemy by losing a thousand on the battlefield, and the gap will not be too big in the end.

Not long after, Cao Cao repeated the old trick again, led an army, attacked Puyang City Xitun at night, the battle was relatively smooth at the beginning, Cao Cao wiped out the defenders before dawn. While still cleaning up the battlefield, Lü Bu personally led reinforcements from Puyang to arrive, Lü Bu commanded the army to press on the whole line, and surrounded Cao County from the north, east and south, the battle was extremely fierce, and Lü Bu himself went to the front line to join the battle. Lü Bu was determined to win and refused to stop, Cao's army fell into a bitter battle, from morning to evening, the two armies fought dozens of times, and there was no sign of abating, Lü Bu made up his mind to wrap this dumpling.

"The stars of the dead shine, and the more you fight, the more courageous you become."

The black star power permeated Lu Bu's whole body, making him look even more terrifying, and more importantly, Lu Bu's star power was also blessed on his army, and he couldn't notice it at all if he didn't look closely.

Cao Cao was about to recruit death squads to counter Lu Bu's cavalry, and dozens of warriors in the army also volunteered to enlist, Xu Chu suddenly stood up to stop them, and said: "Lord, that Lu Bu seems to be the third realm, the army has his star power blessing, we can't beat it." ”

When Xun You Chengyu heard the news, he also hurriedly took a closer look, and found that Lu Bu's army really had some black star power on them, which he hadn't noticed before.

Cao Cao also saw it and said, "Then what should I do, can I only escape, Zhong Kang, can you resist Lu Bu?" ”

Cao Cao saw that Xu Chu's figure was very large, and said expectantly.

Xu Chu shook his head and said, "Everything in the third realm is unknown, I'm not sure, let's withdraw for the time being." ”

Cao Cao sighed, announced his retreat, and left in embarrassment, Lu Bu chased and killed all the way, and Cao Cao, who was killed, lost his armor, but fortunately, Cheng Yu's astrological signs were there, so he escaped the catastrophe, and the loss was not too great.

Not long after coming, a big family surnamed Tian in Puyang City sent people into Cao's camp to express his willingness to be Cao's internal response. Cao Cao took this opportunity to open the east gate and personally led the army into Puyang City. After entering the city, he ordered the city gates to be burned as a sign of "breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat". It stands to reason that street fighting is undoubtedly beneficial to the defending side, because the attacking side is unfamiliar with the environment and may be attacked everywhere, but in the street battles after the city was broken in ancient times, the defenders were often gone, demoralized, and easy to lose in a battle. However, Lü Bu was by no means an expert in street fighting, having encountered the same dilemma two years earlier, and this time, Lü Bu learned his lesson, organized a counterattack, and defeated Cao's army. Especially when Lu Bu's life star came, it was completely an animal, no one could stop it, and he killed the opposite side alive, and in the end, Lu Bu entered the state of enchantment, chasing Cao Cao's army to kill, and the lone army went deep, but unfortunately no one could balance him, Xu Chu tried and found that the gap was too big, so he had to open the life star to resist.

"Shoulder tenacity and starry glory, tiger idiot's wrath"

Finally resisted Lu Bu's offensive, but it was obvious that Xu Chu was not as good as Lu Bu, and he had been retreating, Cao Cao hurriedly broke through to the outside of the city, and finally killed at the gate of the city, but found that the fire he had just set was burning until now, blocking his way, Cao Cao had to rush into the fire head-on, and was able to escape.

After Cao Cao was safe, he suddenly found that there was a natural disaster, locusts were overwhelming, and food was missing in his eyes, and Cao Cao and Lu Bu on the Puyang battlefield fell into a food crisis at the same time. Yanzhou area was due to natural disasters, drought, locust plague serious, resulting in a serious reduction in the autumn harvest, a large area of poor harvest, from June this year began to stalemate more than 30 days of the Puyang front, both sides have exhausted the stock, unable to fight any more, Cao Cao withdrew from Puyang, soon Lu Bu also led the army out of Puyang City.

Why do you want to withdraw the army, of course, it is to collect grain, otherwise how to fight, there is no food to eat, and the soldiers definitely have no strength to fight, and at this time, the army led by Liu Yi in Qingzhou finally left Chengyang and began to march towards Yanzhou.

One day, Cao Cao drove his troops into Dong'e, and Cheng Yu was in charge of rewarding the three armies, and the hungry soldiers were pleasantly surprised to eat the meat they had not seen for a long time, although these air-dried meat had a strange taste, but what the reason was, everyone didn't care.

If Liu Yi was here, he would definitely know that this was human flesh, Cheng Yu, the masterpiece of a ruthless man, who eats human flesh.

Cao Cao ate the meat and asked suspiciously: "Zhongde, how can we still have so much meat, I remember that there is not much food." ”

Cheng Yu didn't know whether to tell Cao Cao or not, and said with a smile: "There are some, don't worry about the lord." ”

At this time, it was the critical period of the war between Cao Cao and Lu Bu, unfortunately encountered a locust plague, seeing that this year's grain grains were not harvested, the two sides temporarily stopped the army to recuperate, Cao Cao was worried about the food, Cheng Yu did not want to let Cao Cao carry the psychological burden again, before Yuan Shao sent someone to promise to borrow grain from Cao Cao, but attached a condition, let Cao Cao drag his family to Yecheng, and that was Yuan Shao's base camp, Cheng Yu refused, even Cao Cao's face did not let the other party see, once he went, it was like sending sheep into the tiger's mouth, Cao Cao estimated that there would be no follow-up. At the critical moment, Cheng Yu knew that he really couldn't survive without getting some food, he gathered his army to loot in a county in the eastern county city, and snatched everything that could be eaten, this so-called military food was mixed with human jerky, as for whether it was made of living or dead people, it is unknown, it is not said that Cheng Yu had eaten human flesh, but the military food provided for Cao Cao, so it is inaccurate to say that Cheng Yu ate human flesh. At such a critical juncture, there is not much to worry about. Maybe Cheng Yu didn't make it to the third public in the end, which was caused by being suppressed by public opinion.

Lu Bu was not much better here, Lu Bu withdrew from Puyang, collected grain along the road, starved along the road, and arrived in Chengshi County of Jiyin County. Lu Bu sent people to the city to ask for some grain. Cheng clan is the accumulation place of the Li clan, very influential in the central part of Yanzhou, a total of more than 13,000 clans, among which the head of the Li clan Li Gan has thousands of guests, Li Gan this person is outstanding, as early as Cao Cao served as Yanzhou pastor, Li Gan took the tribe to Cao Cao, followed his expedition to the east and west. After Chen Gong and Zhang Miao made trouble, Cao Cao ordered Li Gan to return to Chengshi County to win over his clansmen.

At present, Lu Bubing is approaching the city, and the county is in an uproar, and Li Shujie, another big landlord of the Li family, gave his own money, killed several fat cows, made 10,000 Hu cakes, and went out of the city with dozens of stone wine. On the same day, another branch of the Li clan, Li Jin, led the family to attack Lu Bu's military camp, causing certain losses and chaos, and then retreated safely to Chengshi County. According to Lu Bu's usual thoughts, he would now raise troops to kill the Cheng clan, kill Li Jin, and capture Li Gan alive. However, considering the reaction of other clans in Yanzhou, and at the same time, the Li family in Chengshi County still had the hope of surrendering, so he gave up.

Four hundred years ago, Liu Xiang won in the area of Xingyang and Chenggao, and both armies were fighting very hard at that time, but no one refused to retreat first, because the momentum of retreating first would inevitably be hit. The whole world is fighting across states and counties, but the real decisive battle is only in Chenggao. At this moment, the game between Lu Cao has also reached a critical moment, and the decisive battle on the Yanzhou battlefield is not known yet, because Liu Yi has just entered the field.

Zhang Fei walked on the road, looking at the barrenness all over the ground, his jaw was about to drop, and said: "Why is Yanzhou so miserable, won't we be like this in Qingzhou, this is really not any food at all." ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head and said: "Yanzhou has always been plagued by locusts, but this is not the case in Qingzhou, and we have taken precautions, it will definitely be much better." ”

Liu Yi also nodded: "That's right, something is wrong with this place in Yanzhou, plus Cao Cao and Lu Bu have been fighting, so it will be like this." ”

Zhao Yun didn't speak, looking at this shocking scene, it was really a little heartache, when the army would have such a big impact on the people, it was really unforgivable.

Liu Yi took out the map, looked at it and said, "Let's go, let's continue to rush in the direction of Dingtao, the battlefield is estimated to be over there." ”

Guo Jia was a little puzzled and asked, "Ziang, how did you know that the battlefield would be over there, and our spies haven't come back yet." ”

Liu Yi had a black line on his face and said, "Guess." ”

Everyone else looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe Liu Yi or not.

Liu Yi also felt that he had behaved a bit against the sky recently, and besides, this war was not history, and it would be a shame if something went wrong, so he said: "Then let's wait for the spies, I'm not sure." ”

In this way, the army of Liu Yi and others stopped at the entrance checkpoint of Yanzhou.

On the other side, Cao Cao got enough food, after eating and drinking, he didn't plan to live in peace with Lu Bu, plus he transferred Cao Ren and others over, preparing to overturn Lu Bu in a wave, Cao Cao once again commanded his men and horses to take the initiative to attack, launched an offensive in Dongping County on the Eastern Front, ordered Yu Ban to lead troops to surround Xuchang, and led an army to launch a surprise attack on Shouzhang. Yu Ban took the lead in defeating the Xuchang guard Gao Ya, broke through the city, went south to fight with Cao Cao, surrounded Shouzhang, and conquered it, and the strategy formulated was very good, if Lu Bu was still in Puyang, it might not be realized, but Lu Bu retreated, so Cao Cao fought very smoothly along the way, and the dream came true.

Soon, Cao Cao attacked Dingtao, and he once again personally led the team on a mission.

Dingtao is the main city of Jiyin County and a strategic location. Historically, the Chu army won successive battles under the command of Xiang Liang. With Xiang Yu, Liu Bang, Lu Chen and other generals, several armies were raised to launch a full-scale attack in Shandong. In August, Zhang Han received the support of Qin II's troops, and immediately met Xiang Liang's main force of the Chu army, and the two armies met at Dingtao, and after a fierce battle, Xiang Liang's army was defeated and killed. Zhang Han was worried about the lack of the righteous army in Chu, and led his troops to attack Zhao in the north, so that the Chu army got a chance to rest.

Cao Cao planned to learn from the Chu army this time, and did not intend to leave Lu Bu a chance to rest and recover and grow. Cao Cao occupied the northern city, quickly crossed south to Surabaya and surrounded the southern city, and seeing that it was about to be captured, Lü Bu's reinforcements came. Cao Cao withdrew from the siege to meet the battle, and the two commanders fought again, and Cao Cao defeated Lü Bu on the battlefield, but from a strategic point of view, the victory or defeat was unknown. Because after the first battle in the eastern suburbs of Dingtao, Cao Cao withdrew the siege and retreated northward, giving up the southern city of Dingtao, which was immediately attacked, and Lu Bu achieved the goal of relieving the siege of Dingtao.

Li Feng and Xue Lan are the right-hand men of Lu Buzhou's mansion, and the two are wealthy families in Yanzhou, and Li Feng is likely to be a member of the Li family of the Cheng clan. These two people should have been co-opted by Zhang Miao Chen Palace, and Lu Bu used them as the left and right hands of the state capital, which shows the importance of these two people.

After the battle of Dingtao, Lu Bu freed his hand to deal with Li Gan of Chengshi County, he saluted first and then soldiers, and sent Li Feng Xue Lan to persuade Li Gan, Li Gan had already made up his mind to follow Cao Cao for the rest of his life, and resolutely refused, so Li Feng Xue Lan carried out the "beheading" operation as planned, assassinated Li Gan in an instant, and took control of Chengshi County.

But apparently Lü Bu overestimated his own influence and underestimated Li's loyalty to Cao Cao. When Cao Cao learned of the change in the Cheng clan, he immediately asked Li Qian's son Li Quan to lead his father's old troops to kill him from the north, and the people of Cheng County had no intention of helping Lu, so Li Feng and Xue Lan fled back to Shanyang County. Cao Cao's army then began to fight, and the town was stationed in Chengshi County to prevent Lü Bu from counterattacking.

It was summer, and the battle of Yanzhou was almost two months old, and the two sides fought with wits and courage, using all their might, and fighting extremely hard. After months of high-intensity fighting, both armies felt exhausted again, and this time the war fell into a stalemate, and even Cao Cao had the idea of giving up the four counties of Yannan and wanted to find a soft persimmon to pinch for the time being, such as Xuzhou, which had just died Tao Qian and was in tatters. Xun Yu, who accompanied the army, expressed his disapproval of Cao Cao's idea, Xun Yu believed that although the war was stalemate, it was a critical moment of decisive victory, and what was needed now was to attack Chen Gong to the east, divide Chen Gong and Lü Bu's army, and then collect grain and grass to accumulate strength, and finally break Lü Bu in one move.

Cao Cao was a little hesitant, it was too difficult to fight, and now half of Yanzhou has been recovered, and the remaining army is less than two-thirds, and there are more than 30,000 troops left, less than 40,000 troops, and until now, the grain and grass are almost gone, if the fight continues, Cao Cao doesn't know what the result will be, so he said: "Wen Ruo, let me think about it for one night, and I will definitely give you an answer tomorrow." ”

Xun Yu opened his mouth, but he still didn't force Cao Cao, and he fought until now, Xun Yu also saw that Lu Bu was strong and strong, and Chen Gong was assisted, and the family basically stood on Lu Bu's side, if it continued like this, Cao Cao had no chance, Cao Cao could only win a big battle, and only if he fought beautifully, it was possible to unify Yanzhou again, but was Lu Bu stupid? Okay, Lu Bu may be stupid, will Chen Gong give Cao Cao this chance? Since the occurrence of the natural disaster, Lu Bu's army has basically avoided fighting without fighting, the losses on both sides are not large, but the food eaten is doubled, what is the idea of Chen Gong Xun Yu is really not a strategist anymore.

Looking at Cao Cao's departing figure, Xun Yu sighed a little, coming to this point, it was really a dilemma.

Turning his head to see Xun You, he asked with a smile: "Gongda, is there any good way, how to break this situation now." ”

Xun You fell into deep thought, recalled the entire map, and was about to shake his head, when he suddenly spoke: "Juye, I heard the soldiers discussing some time ago, the grain there is about to ripen, for some reason, it has not been affected by many natural disasters, and it may be our only turning point." ”

Xun Yu asked suspiciously: "Juye, how could it be so coincidental, the entire Yanzhou has been destroyed by locusts, why is there not." ”

Xun You shook his head and said: "I don't know, I heard the soldier say by chance, now we are a good woman who is difficult to cook without rice, what we lack is food, no one has a way to make something out of nothing, it is simple to defeat Lu Bu, it is difficult to eliminate him." ”

Xun Yu nodded, knowing that Xun Yu was telling the truth, but when he heard the name Juye, Xun Yu always had some bad premonitions, but he couldn't say why.

Cheng Yu sat aside and didn't say a word, now Cheng Yu has no way, he can get food to make a turnaround, Cheng Yu is thinking about whether he has to use living people to make human jerky, after all, there is not much food now, and there are not many soldiers who died in battle.

No, Cheng Yu didn't dare to do it now, not because he was afraid of being blamed, but now he didn't even have to eat steamed buns, and suddenly a lot of meat came and told you to let you eat it, do you dare to eat it? Everyone will doubt it, Cheng Yu is afraid that it will cause a riot in the army after getting it, so it is not worth it, it doesn't matter if he is criticized, in case it causes chaos in the army because of this reason, and it will be worth the loss if Lu Bu seizes the opportunity.

Xun Yu saw Cheng Yu who was contemplating, grabbed him, and said in a low voice: "Zhongde, don't go and get your meat, there is no way to explain the appearance of a large amount of meat at this time." ”

Cheng Yu was not surprised at all that Xun Yu knew about his behavior, and said with a smile: "Wen Ruo rest assured, I know how to be measured, and now I can't show meat inexplicably." ”

Xun Yu breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Cheng Yu would do something out of the ordinary again, and the situation would be even worse.

At the same time, Liu Yi is being touted.

Xi Zhicai looked at Liu Yi in surprise, circled around him, and said, "Ziang, no matter how long your head is, this method can make you figure it out." ”

Guo Jia also said with a smile: "It's really insidious, deliberately letting you spread the news, in today's Yanzhou, there is nothing more attractive than food." ”

Liu Yi said with a smile: "What nonsense, this is called foresight, I said it, just go to Juye, there is the place for the final battle." ”

Guo Jia pouted, of course it is the place of the final decisive battle, you have spread the news that there is food there, how can it not be the place of the decisive battle.

Liu Yi smiled very happily, the battle of Juye, Cao Cao and Lu Bu, then, now, I have created the environment for you, please start your performance.

Part of the grain had already been transported, enough to hide from Lu Bu Cao Cao's spies, and some soldiers had also been sent over to act as farmers, and everything was ready.

As for Cao Cao's advisers who met in Xuzhoukou who could predict the good luck, Liu Yi also made preparations, not letting the army pass first, just spreading the news, if this can be predicted, then Liu Yi thinks he is unlucky, no way, who makes the family life star so strong.
