Cao Cao was stunned, looked at Lu Bu's back, touched his cheeks that had cut off his beard, and a coarse coat, and said to himself: "Vulgar soldiers? With a strange smile, he hurriedly fled to the west gate, and when Xiahou Dun came into the door, he hurriedly said: "Yuan let me save me?" ”

Xiahoudun turned his head to look, was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "How can my brother be like this, I almost can't recognize it." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cao Cao said: "It's hard to say, if I don't listen to you and wait, I'm almost dead, I'll go out first and then talk about it in detail." ”

Xiahoudun hurriedly fled with Cao Cao to the city gate.

At this time, the city gate was in chaos, Lu Bubing stood on the city wall, kept setting fire to the city gate, saw Cao Cao rushing out, the soldiers shouted, and threw a burning roller wood to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao couldn't dodge, he blocked it with his hand, and the wood smashed into the mount, knocking the mount down, and Xiahoudun hurriedly rescued Cao Cao.

Cao Hong and others killed Wei Xu, Song Xian ambushed the soldiers, and worked together to seize the city gate and rescue most of the soldiers, until Lu Bu killed, then withdrew from the city, and walked in turn, Lu Bu did not chase after him.

Cao Cao counted the number of people, the generals were safe, and the generals also came to greet Cao Cao.

Cao Cao laughed: "If you miss the trick of the puppet, An Neng will not report it!" ”

Guo Jia hurriedly said: "How to figure it out?" ”

Cao Cao said with a smile: "You just need to calculate it, and I lied that I was burned by fire and died." Lu Bu will come to rob the camp, and when the time comes, Lu Bu will be able to capture it when he is ambushed on all sides. ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Good strategy! ”

The sergeant was mourned by filial piety, and it was rumored that Cao Cao died.

When Lu Bu heard the news, he led his troops to rob the camp.

Chen Gong persuaded: "Cao Cao is deceitful, I am afraid that Cao Cao is treacherous, the general is careful." ”

Lu Bu ignored it, rushed into the camp with his men and horses, and found that it was just an empty camp, so he was deceived and hurriedly retreated.

I only heard a drum sound, ambushes rose in all directions, and Lu Bu fought to the death. He lost many soldiers, returned to Puyang, and has not been able to hold out ever since.

This year, there was a great drought in the Kanto region, and locusts rose everywhere, eating up all the rice.

Grain is worth two or three hundred thousand yuan per hundred, and the people are easy to cannibalize.

Cao Cao's army food gradually ran out, and the troops retreated back to Juancheng to eat, and Lu Bu led his troops to Shanyang to garrison troops.

Cao Cao returned to Juancheng and heard that Tao Qian was dead, Liu Bei led Xuzhou Mu, and was furious in his heart: "I have not avenged my revenge, you don't spend half an arrow, you can sit in Xuzhou, I will kill Liu Bei first, and then kill Qian's corpse, with the resentment of Xue's father." ”

The soldiers want to go for revenge.

Xun Yu came in and persuaded: "In the past, Gaozu Baoguanzhong, Guangwu was based in Hanoi, and they were all deeply rooted in order to control the world, and they were enough to control the enemy, and they were enough to hold on to retreat. Therefore, although there are difficulties, it will eventually become a great cause. The head of the Ming Dynasty was Yanzhou, and the river, Ji is an important place in the world, just like the former Guanzhong, Hanoi. Now that the Ming Duke is attacking Xuzhou, there are too many troops left here, and the attack power is insufficient, and it is easy to be taken advantage of by Lu Bu if he stays less. If Yanzhou is lost, Xuzhou will not be able to get it. Where will Ming Gong go to live at that time? Tao Qian is dead, Liu was elected by the people of Xuzhou, leading the land of Xuzhou, the people of Xuzhou, and the scholars have obeyed Liu Bei. If I wait to attack, they will protect Liu Bei to the death. At this time, abandoning Yanzhou to take Xuzhou is called abandoning the big and small, taking the original as the end, and making it safe and dangerous. May Ming Gong think about it carefully. ”

Cao Cao said with a bitter face: "This year's food shortage, the army will run out, and the sergeant is sitting here, which is not a good strategy." ”

Xun Yu said: "It's better to go east and eat Runan and Yingchuan." He Yi and Huang Shao of the Yellow Turban remnants plundered the prefectures and counties, and accumulated a lot of gold and grain. Such thieves are easy to break. Breaking and taking its grain to support the three armies, the court is happy, and the people are happy, which is really a good thing. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, arranged for Xiahoudun, Cao Ren to guard Juancheng, and brought his own troops to take Chen State first, and then attack Runan and Yingchuan.

Yellow Turban Yu Dang He Yi, Huang Shao had already accepted Yuan Shu's recruitment, but later saw Yuan Shu, although he was famous, he was a person who didn't have much ability. He was mean and unkind, and Nanyang and Huainan treated him in a mess, and the people fled in all directions. Every time he went on an expedition, he lost more than he won, so he no longer listened to Yuan Shu's call.

I heard that Cao Cao came to attack, led his troops to meet, and met in Yangshan, although the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, there was little training on weekdays, there was no formation at all, and there was a lack of sophisticated weapons, all of them were a group of Wuhe.

Cao Cao shot Chen's feet with a strong bow and crossbow, and ordered Xiahou Yuan to challenge.

He Yi called the deputy general to meet him, but he couldn't fight for 10 times, and was stabbed under the horse by Xiahou Yuan.

He Yi was shocked, returned to the horse and walked around the formation, and Xiahou Yuan chased after him.

Yu Ban ran to Huang Shao, and the team took a step, holding an iron rod in his hand, and a man named He Man met him.

Yu Ban fought with him for dozens of rounds, but how could he help the manpower, Yu Ban was defeated, and he turned his horse and left.

He Man chased after him in a hurry, Yu Ban returned a shot, He Man chased too quickly, did not notice for a while, and was stabbed to the ground.

Yu Ban returned to the horse and stabbed urgently, He Man twisted his body and ran into the crowd.

Huang Shao was shocked and was picked underground by Cao Ren, who was driven by Pegasus. Cao Cao waved his troops to cover up and kill, and got all his grain and grass, gold, silver, and baggage. He Yi fled to Ge Po and was stopped by a big man, He Yi couldn't resist the enemy, and escaped into the crowd.

The big man scolded and asked his subordinates to capture the Yellow Turban, who couldn't escape, back to the dock fort.

Xiahou Yuan chased He Yi to this place, but there was no one in front of him, and he was looking, and this big man was about to come out again.

Xiahou Yuan asked, "Who is under the feet, but the yellow scarf?" ”

Dahan said: "I'm not a yellow scarf, the yellow scarf has been caught in the dock by me,"

Xiahou Yuan said: "Can you hand over the yellow scarf at your feet?" ”

Dahan said: "If you win the knife in my hand, I will hand over the yellow scarf to my feet." ”

The two sides disagreed, and the battle lasted for nearly dozens of rounds, and Xiahou Yuan was soft-handed, and seeing that it was getting late, he proposed to fight again tomorrow.

Xiahou Yuan returned to the camp and reported the matter to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao was shocked.

Guo Jia said with a smile: "This matter is extremely easy, congratulations to the lord for subduing another fierce general." ”

Cao Cao hurriedly asked, "How do you get it?" ”

Guo Jia said with a smile: "Listening to this person's words, he must be honest." That's all it takes. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed.

Rush to Xiahou Yuan that night.

The next day, Xiahou Yuan went to challenge again, and fought with that big man for nearly 100 rounds, Xiahou Yuan was defeated, and turned around and left.

The big man chased after him, and after walking not far, he fell into the pit with his horse and was tied by his hook hand to see Cao Cao.

Cao Cao hurriedly went down to the court, repelled the comer, personally untied him, gave him a change of clothes, and asked his name and hometown.

Dahan said: "My surname is Xu, my name is Chu, and my name is Zhongkang." The people of Peiguo County, due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, hundreds of people from the Ju clan and a group of friends moved to Gepo and built a dock in the mountains to protect themselves. When the thieves attacked, they returned fire with stones, but if they didn't miss, the thieves retreated in surprise. This year, the bandits tried to seize the cattle in the dock, but the cattle fled in fright, and I dragged them back more than 100 steps, and the thieves retreated in horror. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, praised his bravery, and asked him if he was willing to join the army.

Xu Chu said: "I want to do it." ”

So he saluted and took Cao Cao into the dock

。 Cao Cao saw hundreds of strong men in the dock, all of them were warriors, and worshiped Xu Chu as the captain.

At this time, a junior colonel made an urgent report: "Yu Ban and Cao Ren chased the Yellow Turban Thief into Luyang, but were intercepted by the defenders of Luyang, and the two sides fought fiercely Cao Ren was wounded by the defenders and defeated. ”

Cao Cao was furious and led Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan to rush back to Yingchuan.

At this time, Cao Ren returned to his father's city to recuperate from his injuries, but fortunately, the opponent did not seem to be a person who loved to kill, and his subordinates were merciful, and the injuries were not serious.

After Cao Cao saw it, he was not angry in his heart, and led the army straight into Luyang.

Dian Wei, the captain of the Luyang Garrison Military Academy, had to make a secret report early to inform that the Cao army had returned, led the army out of the city, and the two sides faced each other.

Dian Wei shouted: "Stop coming!" This is the boundary of Nanyang, please do not cross the border. ”

A person ran out of the Cao army: "Who is coming, why do we stop the Yellow Turban Thief Army?" ”

Dian Wei said: "I am Captain Dian Wei under General Annan. Who are you, you are not allowed to cross the line without the permission of the general. Please come back! ”

The people who came were furious: "I am Xu Chu, the new captain of the capital, this army has pursued the thieves so far, do you want to shield the thieves?" ”

Dian Wei said angrily: "Nanyang territory, without the permission of General Annan, you are not allowed to enter the country, and you have nothing to do with the thieves and their own army to conquer and suppress them." ”

Xu Chu Xingui, naturally he had to behave, seeing that the other party was blocked, he was not convinced, he raised his knife forward, and the two sides fought together. Seeing the knives coming and going, the two sides fought for fifty or sixty rounds, Cao Cao was frightened, how could he meet so many warriors.

Just as he was in a trance, another team of soldiers and horses arrived, and Cao Cao was worried that he would lose something, so he sounded the gong to collect his troops.

Dian Wei turned his head and saw that it was Liu Zhen who had arrived.

Cao Cao thought that the person who came was Liu Shi, so he immediately bowed and said, "The person who came is General Annan?" I am Yanzhou Mu Cao Cao, and today I am leading the troops to chase the thief into your realm, please forgive me! ”

Liu Zhendao: "I am the chief of General Annan's account, and I just received an urgent letter from the lieutenant, saying that there are soldiers who have invaded the territory, and I have come to check. Nanyang Taishou and General Annan once said that the county would not participate in how to fight in the eastern part of the country. But if anyone wants to invade the realm, they will never let the other party exit intact. As for the thieves you mentioned, our army has already sent people to exterminate them, so please don't worry about it. Caozhou Mu, please go back! I will inform General Annan to apologize to Cao Zhoumu another day. ”
