Night fell, and Xiapi, who had been trapped for months, was immersed in a dead silence.

Cao Cao once diverted Yishui and Surabaya to irrigate the city, and the houses in the city collapsed, and the marks of the receding flood still remained on the ground and the walls that still stand.

Lu Bu rode on the red rabbit horse, I don't know if he felt that he was not the previous owner, the red rabbit stepped on the front hooves from time to time, looking a little anxious.

Behind him were two hundred horsemen who were about to leave the city.

Trapped for several months, the city lacked supplies, and the soldiers were thinly clothed, standing in the cold wind on horseback, their lips purple from the cold.

Speaking of Fang Tian's halberd, Lu Bu pointed out of the city: "I'm going to take you out of the city tonight, there are tens of thousands of Cao troops outside the city, I'll ask you, are you afraid or not?" ”

"Don't be afraid!" Shivering from the cold, the two hundred people still responded in unison.

Lu Bu was once a myth chased by the soldiers, but it was only when the Cao army besieged Xiapi that his performance dimmed the light of the myth, and the soldiers of the three armies felt that they had lost their backbone.

Lu Bu, who stood in front of them, was arrogant, the former god of war had been resurrected, of course they were not afraid!

"Cao Apu tried to destroy me, how can I let him succeed?" Lu Bu said: "Tonight we are going to burn his grain and grass, so that he will retreat without food!" ”

Looking up at the sky, Lu Bu said in a calm and solemn tone: "Success or failure is tonight!" If Heaven helps me, I will obey the way of Heaven. If the heavens kill me, I will fight and kill the heavens! ”

Pointing at the city gate with a halberd in one hand, Lu Bu shouted: "Follow me out of the city!" ”

At the same time that Lu Bu was out of the city, Cao Cao's tent was brightly lit.

Sitting at the top is a middle-aged man wearing gold armor with a slightly red face due to the upsurge of alcohol, his eyes slightly closed but shining, and his body is medium but exuding a heroic spirit.

He was none other than Cao Cao, who led his troops to besiege Xiapi.

Picking up the wine bottle, Cao Cao said to everyone in the tent: "In the past, I attacked Pi for a long time, and I have the idea of retreating. Fortunately, thanks to the persuasion of Feng Xiao and others, Lu Bu was forced to the end of the road today. You have worked hard with me, and I respect you! ”

Everyone raised their wine glasses and said: "Cao Gong is mighty, I am willing to follow him to the death!" ”

After drinking the glass of wine, one of the people sitting stood up.

This person has fair skin, his figure is about the same as Cao Cao, his facial features are unremarkable, and the most striking thing is his pair of attractive ears that are much larger than ordinary people.

After getting up, he held a wine glass and said: "Cao Gongwen has become a martial artist, who dares to disobey the heroes of the world?" What is just Lu Bu? ”

It was Liu Bei, who had been driven out of Xuzhou by Lu Bu earlier to serve Cao Cao, who stood up and spoke.

Cao Cao laughed and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande said this, I dare not be ashamed!" Lu Bu has the courage of ten thousand people, if he is not too rigid, he is really not easy to deal with. It's a fluke that we are where we are today. ”

"Lu Bu is brave and known to the world, but he is capricious, so that no one came to save him except for Hanoi, who was too guarded and flamboyant." Liu Bei said: "The so-called only husband is nothing more than this, and Cao Gong's attack on him is also in line with the way of heaven." ”

"When Lu Bu is defeated, what will happen if Xuande is in charge of Xuzhou?" The corners of Cao Cao's mouth twitched slightly, and he squinted his eyes and asked Liu Bei.

Liu Bei hurriedly bowed down and replied: "I have received the kindness of Cao Gong, and I am grateful all the time. just wanted to stay by Cao Gong's side to lead the horse and saddle up, and didn't dare to have other extravagant hopes. ”

Cao Cao laughed, nodded at Liu Bei and said, "Xuande is so proficient in the way of being a person, I don't think I can find a reason if I don't value you!" ”

"Lord!" A general stood up and asked Cao Cao, "Lü Bu is at the end of his rope, why don't you wave your troops to attack the city?" If the city is attacked, the last general is willing to take the lead! ”

The general who got up was as tall as a mountain, and his left eye was covered with a black veil, which was Xiahoudun who was blinded in his left eye by Cao Xing's arrow.

"Don't worry, don't worry, besiege Lu Bu for a few more days, and when his morale is gone, won't we get twice the result with half the effort when we attack the city?" Cao Cao said with a smile.

Everyone was drinking wine, and suddenly there was a commotion outside.

"Lu Bu is here, hurry up and fight!" The soldiers in the barracks ran out of their tents one after another, running around like headless flies, interspersed with shouts that had changed their tones.

"What's going on?" Cao Cao stood up suddenly: "Go and take a look!" ”

Several generals then ran out.

After a while, Xiahoudun walked in.

He said to Cao Cao in a little panic: "Lord, Lu Bu brought two hundred elite horsemen out of the city, but our army was defenseless, and he actually rushed over. ”

"Where did he go?" Lu Bu broke through, and Cao Cao hurriedly asked.

"In the direction of Geyi Mountain!" Xiahoudun replied.

"Not good!" Cao Cao was taken aback when he heard this, and most of the wine woke up: "Our army's grain and grass are at the foot of Geyi Mountain, Lu Bu is going to cut off our army's food route, hurry up and send people to pursue!" ”

Xiahoudun and others were ordered to go out of the account, and Liu Bei also said to Cao Cao: "I am willing to lead the troops to share the worries for Cao Gong!" ”

"Give you 500 soldiers and horses to intercept!" Cao Cao shouted.

Liu Bei was ordered to leave.

Most of the people in the handsome tent went out, and Cao Cao sat down dejectedly, his brows furrowed, and his face was much worse than before.

"Don't be anxious, my lord." A tall and thin strategist next to him stepped forward and said, "Lu Bu only brought two hundred elite horsemen, and our army sent troops to pursue him, and he couldn't do anything big." ”

"Lu Bu once begged to surrender and was rejected by me, I was just wondering why he suddenly had the determination to leave the city?" Looking at the counselor who was comforting, Cao Cao asked, "Fengxiao, what should we do next?" ”

"Our army did not attack the city for several days, giving Lu Bu a chance to breathe, and he dared to fight for his life." Guo Jia said: "Now that Lu Bu is gone, it is a good time to attack the city, don't miss it again!" ”

Standing up with a cold face, Cao Cao ordered to the left and right: "Pass the order, attack the city immediately!" ”

The order was issued to the army, and Cao's army, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately launched an attack on the city.

At the head of the city, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led the army to defend it, and under the city, Cao's army rushed to the city wall like a flood.

The arrows were staggered and dense like rain, and Cao Jun put the cloud ladder on the city wall, and the siege tower also approached the city step by step.

The defenders of the city lifted the stones and threw them at the Cao army who had ascended the city.

Gripping their weapons, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun led the heavy infantry to prepare to fight with Cao's army.

Led two hundred elite horsemen to rush through Cao Ying, Lu Bu rode his horse all the way to the direction of Geyi Mountain.

"General, someone is chasing you!" A voice came from behind him.

Looking back, he saw a patch of torches jumping in the distance and chasing after him.

Since they were cavalry, they always kept a certain distance from the pursuers behind them.

"Don't pay attention to it, it's important to burn the enemy's rations!" Lu Bu shouted and continued to fly forward.

Two hundred elite horsemen followed closely and slaughtered to the place where Cao Jun had stored grain.

After speeding for more than an hour, a military camp appeared in front of Lu Bu.

The sacks piled up high in the barracks were obviously the grain that Cao Jun had put in his place.
