Cao Ren greeted him, and said to Cao Cao with a ashamed face: "We are incompetent, Chen Gong and Zhang Miaogou knotted, led Lu Bu into Yanzhou, and made Yanzhou completely rebellious, leaving only Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian County. ”

Cao Cao smiled: "It's okay, it's not your fault, Chen Gong hates me for slaughtering Xuzhou, and he is clever and seduces Lu Bu to take my Yanzhou." I expect that although Chen Gong is wise, Lu Bu is stubborn and self-serving, and may not obey Chen Gong's plan. Lu Bu has courage and no strategy, so there is nothing to worry about. and set up camp in the village, and then discuss. ”

When Lu Bu heard that Cao Cao had returned to Teng County, he summoned the deputy generals Xue Lan and Li Fengdao: "I wanted to use you for a long time, but now I have a chance." Each of you leads 10,000 troops and holds on to Changyi. I personally led the troops and went to break Cao. ”

When Chen Gong heard this, he hurriedly ran to meet Lu Budao: "Where does the general want to abandon Yanzhou?" ”

Lu Bu said in surprise: "I am going to garrison Puyang, so as to become a full force, how can I abandon Yanzhou?" ”

Chen Gong stumbled and said: "The general is wrong, Xue Lan will definitely not be able to hold Changyi." As soon as Changyi is lost, Cao Cao will definitely drive straight in. There are Mount Tai and Kangfu dangerous road in the southeast, and the general can divide his troops to ambush. When Cao Cao heard that Yanzhou was lost, he would inevitably return day and night, and when more than half of Cao's army attacked, he would be able to capture it in one battle. ”

Lu Bu looked at Chen Gong and said: "Cao Cao is proficient in the art of war, he must be prepared for danger, I have my own good strategy, how can you know?" ”

Don't listen to Chen Gong's plan, dial the village to Puyang.

Cao Cao walked to the dangerous road of Mount Tai, Guo Jia said: "Don't rush forward, I am afraid of an ambush." ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "Lu Bu taught Xue Lan to guard Changyi, and since he went to Puyang, how could there be an ambush here." Although Lu Bu was stubborn and vulgar, he had been on the battlefield and knew that the people he brought were a group of rabble. The ambush here will be seen through by me, once it is stuck by our army, Cao Ren will surround Changyi, and send another general out of Puyang to attack Zhang Xuan. After the deed is completed, he will cooperate with the troops led by Xun or attack Lu Bu's back, and he will be able to capture it in one battle. When Lu Bu went to Puyang, he must have wanted to fight me head-on to boost morale. I waited as he wished, if I could defeat Lu Bu head-on, Yanzhou would not be able to attack itself. ”

The leader of the army rushed straight to Puyang and attacked Lu Bu.

Chen Gong heard that Cao Bing was approaching, and said to Lu Bu: "Today, Cao Bing is tired from afar, and it is good to fight quickly, so you can't cultivate strength." ”

Lu Bu said proudly: "I, Lu Bu, are all over the world, why not be afraid of Cao Cao, wait for me to capture him personally and show you it." ”

Cao Cao's soldiers came to Puyang and set up camp.

The next day, the leaders will go out one by one.

When Lu Bu saw Cao Cao coming, he led his troops out of the city, and the two sides lined up.

Cao Cao stood under the banner of the battalion and immediately decided, looking at Lu Bu's soldiers from afar, Lu Bu took the lead, and several generals were lined up on both sides, Zhang Liao, Hao Meng, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu, Song Xian, etc.

Cao Cao pointed at Lu Bu and said, "Lu Bu! I have no enmity with you, why did you take my state and county? ”

Lu Bu laughed and said: "The Han family city, everyone has a share, how is it yours?" ”

Turning around and calling Zhang Liao out of the horse to fight, Cao Xiu hit the horse to greet each other, the two horses intersected, the two guns were raised, and the battle reached more than 30 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat, Le Jin patted the horse to help.

In Lu Bu's army, Hao Meng intercepted him, and the two sides fought together.

Lu Bu saw that the two sides had been fighting for a long time, his heart was irritable, and he urged the horse to go up, Xiahou Chun caught it, and after a few rounds of fighting, he roared and smashed the halberd, Xiahou Chun couldn't dodge, raised his gun and stood, his arms were sore, the tiger's mouth was bleeding, and he fled in a hurry.

LΓΌ Bu waved his army to cover it, Cao Cao hurriedly waved his army to resist, and the two sides fought in a scuffle, but no one could reach LΓΌ Bu, and Cao's army was defeated.

Lu Bu slashed and killed for a while, but did not pursue, and collected his troops and returned to the camp.

Cao Cao lost for a while and returned to the village to discuss with the generals.

Yu Bandao: "I went up the mountain today to watch, in the west of Puyang, there is a village in Lu Bu, and there are not many troops. They thought that if our army was defeated, there would be little preparation, and they could lead troops to attack, and if they were victorious, LΓΌ Bu's army would be afraid. This is the best policy. ”

Cao Cao praised, took Cao Hong, Li Dian, Mao Jue, Cao Chun, Lu Qian, Yu Ban, selected 20,000 horses, and set off from the trail overnight.

Lu Bu was working in the army, and Chen Gong said to Lu Bu: "Xizhai is a critical place, if Cao Cao attacks, what can I do?" ”

Lu Bu said: "He is newly defeated today, how dare he come!" ”

Chen Gong persuaded: "Cao Cao is a person who is very good at using soldiers, and he must be prevented from attacking me." ”

Lu Bu thought for a moment and transferred Zhang Liao and Wei Xu, and Hou Cheng led his troops to defend the village.

Before dawn, Cao Cao led his troops into Xizhai, the soldiers were unprepared, could not resist, scattered away, Cao Cao captured Xizhai,

When the day was about to dawn, Zhang Liao was taken aback when he encountered the rout of Xizhai, and ordered someone to report back to Lu Bu and lead his troops to kill in the village.

Cao Cao led the troops to meet him, and the three armies were in a scuffle.

Cao Hong, Yu Ban and others resisted Zhang Liao's generals, and the two sides fought until nearly noon, and the colonel came to report, and Lu Bu arrived.

Cao Cao was shocked and waved his army to retreat.

Lu Bu chased after him and defeated Cao Cao.

was chasing, Xiahou Chun brought troops to help, and the two sides killed for a while before they each collected their troops.

Since then, the two sides have won and lost each other for more than a month.

One day, Lu Bu and Chen Gong agreed, Chen Gong said: "There is a rich Toda clan in Puyang City, there are thousands of servants, and Cao Cao is familiar with each other, but people can secretly make him write to Cao Cao, saying that Lu Bu is cruel and unkind, and the people in the city have many grievances, and now they want to move to Changyi, only Xu Rong in the city, Nuo came to attack overnight, and he is willing to respond." If Cao Cao is coming, luring him into the city, then the four gates will set fire, and an ambush will be set outside the city. ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed, obeyed Chen Gong's plan, and secretly ordered the Tian family to send someone to send a message to Cao Cao according to the plan.

Cao Cao was irritable because of the unfavorable war, and received a letter from Tian, saying: "LΓΌ Bu has gone to Changyi, and the city is empty, and he is willing to respond internally." I hope you will come soon. A white flag was planted on the city, and the word "righteousness" was written as a code. ”

Cao Cao is overjoyed, reward the people, scheduled for tomorrow night three watches, the city to raise the lamp three times for the number, outside the city to three lights to respond, then open the door to answer.

After the plan was settled, he prepared to send troops.

Guo Jia said: "Lu Bu has no plan, Chen Gong has a lot of plans, but I am afraid that there will be fraud, so I must guard against it." The lord can be divided into two teams, one team enters the city, and the second team responds outside. ”

Cao Cao promised to divide the army into two teams and come to the city of Puyang. Seeing that a banner of righteousness was planted in the city, Cao Cao arranged for Xiahoudun to be on the left and Cao Hong on the right, staying outside the city to respond. Bringing Xiahou Yuan and Cao Chun and other four generals into the city, Li Dian persuaded: "The lord and let someone enter the city outside the city." ”

Cao Cao shouted: "If I don't enter the city, who will fight." ”

At the time of the third watch, the city raised the lamp three times, and Cao Cao ordered three responses.

After a while, the gates were wide open and the drawbridge was lowered.

Cao Cao led his troops to enter the city first, until no one was seen in the palace.

Cao Cao knew the plan, turned the horse's head, and ordered the army to retreat.

I only heard the sound of the golden drums, the four doors caught fire, Xu Rong was on the left, and Zhang Liao was on the right.

Yu Ban, Li Dian hurriedly caught up, Xiahou Yuan and others urgently protected Cao Cao and retreated to the city gate, walked not far, and saw Hao Meng killed, the soldiers shouted, it is Cao Cao who has a long beard, don't go Cao Cao, catch Cao Cao with a bounty of 10,000 taels, and the official will be promoted to three levels.

Cao Cao hurriedly cut off his long beard, and after a while, someone called that it was Cao Cao who was wearing a red robe.

The guards were shocked, and Cao Zhang, a disciple of the clan, asked to change his clothes and fled, but Cao Cao refused.

The guards hurriedly tore off their red robes and asked the guard Cao Zhang to put them on, and several guards fled towards the north gate.

At this time, Lu Bu arrived and pointed at Cao Cao with a halberd: "Where is Cao Cao going?" ”

Cao Cao was horrified in his heart, covered his face with his hand, and said in a holding voice, "I just saw a person in a red robe walking towards the north gate." ”

Lu Bu walked a few steps, turned around again, pointed at Cao Cao's head with a halberd and said, "Why do I think your face is a little familiar?" Have we seen it? ”

Cao Cao just breathed a sigh of relief, and when he saw Lu Bu coming back, he was anxious, suppressed his voice, and said respectfully: "I am just a vulgar soldier below, how can I be blessed to know the general!" ”

Lu Bu fixed his eyes and looked at him again, and suddenly laughed and said, "You are very similar to my old friend, Cao Mengde!" Look up and I'll take a look. ”

Cao Cao was frightened, trembling and shocked: "The general recognized the wrong person, how could the villain be Cao Yanzhou?" ”

Lu Bu glanced at him again, and suddenly said, "Also, with your short beard, rough shirt, and rude speech, it won't be my old man." Don't get out of here! Lao Tzu is in a good mood today, and he spared your life as a soldier. With that, he hurried to the north gate.
