Chapter 81: Lu Bu's Desperate Situation

Because Chen Jue and Chen Deng's father and son fooled Lu Bu lame, Cao Cao easily won four of the six counties of Xuzhou, leaving Pi and Guangling still in the hands of Lu Bu.

Destroying Lu Bu is in front of him, Cao Cao is very happy, and Liu Bei first gathered Zhang Fei and Guan Hai outside Xuzhou City, and then gathered in Xuzhou City Ele Zhu and learned that the family was fine, he was also overjoyed, the family was small and not mentioned, as long as Zhang Fei and Guan Hai were still there, he still had the capital to make a comeback.

Cao Cao set up a banquet in Xuzhou City, and Chen Jue, Chen Deng, father and son were rewarded.

After resting for two days, Cao Cao led the army to kill Xiapi again, and wanted to completely solve Lu Bu.

Cao Cao's 180,000 troops were almost undamaged, and more than 20,000 horses from Chen Qi and Chen Dengce, a full 200,000 army, were killed in Xiapi.

Lu Bu was much more miserable, originally received the soldiers left behind after the death of Yang Feng and Han Xian, plus the development of more than a year, there were already nearly 100,000 troops, but Chen Qi, Chen Deng and his son took more than 20,000 people who originally belonged to Yang Feng and Han Xian to rebel and defect to Cao. Yu Xiaopei and Chen Gong killed each other outside the city and lost more than 10,000 yuan, and from Xuzhou City to Xiapi lost more than 10,000 yuan, Lu Bu only had 50,000 soldiers left at the moment.

50,000 against Cao Cao 200,000, Lu Bu is at an absolute disadvantage, no matter how brave he is, the strength of one person cannot change such a huge overall strength gap.

Lu Bu and Diao Chan and other wives and concubines borrowed wine to kill their sorrows.

Two days later, Cao Cao's 200,000 troops were on the sidelines, and LΓΌ Bu confronted Cao Cao on the city wall.

Cao Cao said to Lu Bu: "I heard that Fengxian wanted to marry Yuan Shu, so I led the troops here, Yuan Shu claimed to be the emperor in vain, and there was a big crime of rebellion." Feng Xian once killed Dong Zhuo for his contribution to the country, why should he give up his previous achievements and submit to the thief, if the city is broken, it will be too late to regret it. It's better to descend early, support the Han room with me, and don't lose the position of the marquis, and think about it first. ”

In fact, Lu Bu had long regretted marrying Yuan Shu, and he also listened to Chen Jue, Chen Deng's father and son's flickering, and Yuan Shu's marriage envoys were escorted to Xu Du to behead Cao Cao, Yuan Shu's strength was so strong at the beginning, Lu Bu regretted his marriage, and now Yuan Shu is shrinking south of the Huai River, there are less than 100,000 soldiers, and even Sun Ce can't beat him, how can Lu Bu still want to send a daughter to marry him.

This was just an excuse for Cao Cao's crusade against Xuzhou.

Lu Bu didn't explain, and the explanation was meaningless, he only moved Cao Cao's surrender, and considered whether he could surrender to Cao, so he said to Cao Cao: "Prime Minister, you go back first, and let me discuss and discuss?" ”

On the side, Chen Gong also knew Cao Cao's excuses, and he also knew that even if Lu Bu surrendered to Cao, he would never end well, not to mention that he had sworn to destroy Cao Cao, and he was incompatible with Cao Cao, let alone let Lu Bu surrender to Cao.

Without waiting for Cao Cao to express his position, Chen Gong first scolded Cao Cao angrily and said: "Traitor, who are you, I know best, Hugh is going to be clever here, look at the arrow!" After speaking, Chen Gong went to Cao ** with an arrow.

Cao Cao flashed and pointed angrily at Chen Gong: "I swear to kill you!" ”

Then Cao's army began to attack the city.

Lu Bu couldn't hold it, and Cao's army couldn't break the city.

At night, Cao's army stopped attacking the city, and Lu Bu asked Chen Gong: "Gongtai, what kind of enmity do you have with Cao Cao, why is it like that?" ”

This sentence shows that Lu Bu really has the heart to surrender Cao, after all, the six counties of Xuzhou have lost four of them, and Guangling will definitely be difficult to defend.

Chen Gong sneered: "The general wants to surrender Cao? Don't you know that Cao Cao attacked the general on the grounds that the general wanted to marry Yuan Shu and conspired to rebel against the thief, even if the general surrendered, Cao Cao gave an explanation to the Son of Heaven and the people an explanation, how could he really spare the general's life? Even if Cao Cao could spare the general's life, how could he reuse the general? At most, give an idle post and let the general sit and die of old age. Besides......"

When Chen Gong said this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.

"Public platform." Seeing this, Lu Bu looked at Chen Gongdao.

Chen Gong said at this time: "The general is gone, the year before last, Zhang Xiu descended to Cao, but he was insulted by Cao Cao's aunt, Mrs. Cicada was born with abnormal beauty, so I was afraid of ......."

Before Lu Bu accepted Diao Chan, he already had a wife, surnamed Yan, called Mrs. Yan, and Diao Chan was called Mrs. Cicada. Hearing Chen Gong say this, Lu Bu immediately shut up.

Then Chen Gong made a plan for Lu Bu, he let Lu Bu lead 30,000 horses out of the city and set up a wall, and he took the remaining 20,000 horses to defend the city, if Cao Cao attacked the city, Lu Bu flanked the Cao army, if the Cao army attacked Lu Bu, then the city also took the initiative to attack Cao Cao, echoing each other, can protect the city of Pi without losing.

However, Lu Bu was influenced by his wife, Mrs. Yan, and he hesitated for three days and failed to decide to leave the city, and Chen Gong was very anxious.

Hearing that Cao's army had little food, Cao Cao had sent people to Xudu to get food, and Chen Gong urged Lu Bu to go out of the city to cut off Cao Cao's grain route, but was also stopped by Mrs. Yan. Lu Bu was depressed, so he went to ask Diao Chan, but unfortunately Diao Chan didn't ask about the military, but said: "Diao Chan only follows the general's decision, and the general should not go out lightly, and he should save his life." ”

In fact, Diao Chan wanted to say that if Lu Bu decided to go out of the city, he must bring more people and horses to ensure safety. But Lu Bu listened to the errand, and thought that Diao Chan didn't want him to go out of the city, so he didn't go out of the city.

When Chen Gong learned this, he was so angry that he wanted to scold, but he had no choice but to look up to the sky and sigh: "We are going to die and have no place to be buried!" ”

Lu Bu couldn't keep it, and drank with Mrs. Yan and Diao Chan all day long to relieve his boredom.

Cao's army attacked the city fiercely, and Lu Bu's limited men and horses were being consumed every moment, and the situation was extremely bad.

Xu Yan and Wang Kai also offered advice to Lu Bu, asking Lu Bu to reintroduce the marriage contract with Yuan Shu, and lead Yuan Shu to send reinforcements to Cao Cao. Although Yuan Shu lost Shouchun and more than half of his territory, he still had some strength, and if Yuan Shu was willing to send troops to help, he would indeed have a great chance of repelling Cao Cao.

Lu Bu was overjoyed and felt hopeful, so he repaired the book and sent it to Yuan Shu, asking Yuan Shu for reinforcements.

The reply he got was that he Lu Bu was repeatedly untrustworthy and had no credibility, and wanted to renew the marriage contract, unless Lu Bu sent his daughter to Yuan Shu first, Yuan Shu would never send reinforcements.

The reason why Yuan Shu was able to give Lu Bu a chance was because his advisor Yang Hong said that Lu Bu and him had cold lips and teeth, and Cao Cao was the great enemy of the two.

When Lu Bu got such a reply, he was extremely annoyed, and even Yuan Shu made it clear that he was repeatedly untrustworthy and had no reputation, in this case, he actually asked him to send the woman first? That's easier said than done.

Helpless, in order to get reinforcements, Lu Bu still planned how to send the woman out of the city.

200,000 Cao troops besieged Xiapi, and only Lu Bu relied on his invincible bravery to personally escort him, so it was possible to break through the siege of Cao's army.

Lu Bu wrapped the woman in a sponge, wrapped it in armor, carried it on his back, carried Fang Tian's halberd, rode a red rabbit horse, and opened the city gate while it was dark and rushed out of the city, intending to break through the Cao army's defense line and break out.

However, Cao Cao's strategists such as Xun Yu and Cheng Yu were not vegetarians, and they had already guessed that Lu Bu wanted to ask for help from Yuan Shu's plan, and they had already taken precautions.

Lu Bu and his daughter just came out of the city gate, first Zhang Fei, Guan Hai, and Xiahou Yuan, Yu Ban, Le Jin and other generals were surrounded, and then there were countless Cao troops outside.

Although Lu Bu was brave, he could carry his daughter on his back, and he wanted to rush into battle desperately, but he was afraid that his daughter would be injured and worried, how could he break through the siege of Cao's army.

Lu Bu looked up to the sky and cried out: "I can't imagine that I, Lu Bu Hero, is in such an embarrassment today." "I had no choice but to return to Xiapi City.

The daughter was weak and couldn't rush out of the battle, and Lu Bu tried every means to ask Sun Ce for help.

Thousands of people were killed and wounded, and it was not easy to send one of the messengers out, but when the messenger returned, he was captured by Cao Jun. Cao Cao read Sun Ce's reply to LΓΌ Bu, and he smiled and personally ordered the messenger to be sent to Xiapi again.

It turned out that Sun Ce's reply to Lu Bu was only one sentence: "You are a repeated villain, and you can't be trusted." ”

Cao Cao thought, Lu Bu should be more desperate and decadent if he was hit by this blow again, wouldn't Xiapi be a birthday?

Lu Bu was indeed hit hard, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce both scolded him for being a repeated villain, untrustworthy, and unwilling to save him. At this moment, he realized how discredited he was in the heart of the prince.

Guanzhong, Chang'an City.

Man Pet kept passing on the information of Xuzhou and Xiapi to Liu Yu during this time.

Liu Yu smiled at Zhao Yun and said, "Zilong, Lu Bu should now experience what it means to 'if you don't have faith, you can't stand'." ”

Zhao Yun was a little puzzled: "Big brother, Yuan Shu and Sun Ce both said that Lu Bu is a repeated villain and cannot be trusted, and what Lu Bu has done over the years is indeed not a credible person, why does Big Brother insist on subduing him?" ”

Liu Yu explained: "What I want to subdue most is not Lu Bu, but the loyal Zhang Liao, Gao Shun, and Chen Gong under his command, these three people are all talents, and it is with the assistance of these three people that Lu Bu can occupy Xuzhou and become Cao Cao's confidant over the years." And Lu Bu also has his role, not to mention his courage and invincibility, he has been suppressing the Huns since following Ding Yuan, and is very familiar with the terrain outside the Saiwai, if I want to defeat the Huns, Lu Bu alone can definitely withstand tens of thousands of soldiers. ”

Zhao Yun nodded, no longer questioning.

Xiapi, although Lu Bu drank all day long to eliminate his sorrows, but the city was defended by Zhang Liao and Gao Shun, and it still made Cao's army unbreakable for a long time, Cao Cao's grain and grass were gradually scarce, and he obeyed the strategies of Xun Yu and Cheng Yu, and the water of the Yi River and the Si River flooded the city of Pi.

When the flood hit, Cao's army had already retreated to a high place, and three of the four gates of the entire Xiapi City were flooded.

When the sergeant came to report, Lu Bu was furious: "Cao thief deceived me too much!" The flooding is just like the flooding, I have the red rabbit horse, and the water is like a flat land, what is it. Take our Heavenly Painting Halberd! ”

Suddenly, he saw himself in the bronze mirror, because he was overly drunk all day long, he was haggard and looked decadent.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth, he was a hero, how could he be like this, he violently overthrew the platform, spilled all the wine on the ground, and said: "From today on, I should quit drinking and swear to fight with Cao Thief to the end." ”

Not to mention that Lu Bu regained his strength, he ordered that no alcohol should be allowed in the city, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Guanzhong, Chang'an City.

Liu Yu got the news and knew that Lu Bu's city was not far away, so he ordered Zhao Yun to take three thousand flying dragon cavalry elites to Wuguan, Xincheng County, and secretly rush to Xiapi, and he was determined to break through the siege of Cao's army when the city was broken, and kill into Xiapi City, and rescue Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others.
