No matter how busy he is, as long as he can spare time, Cao Cao will guide his son's swordsmanship, don't look at it as only nine years old, Cao Pi's swordsmanship has been learned with a clear eye, after looking at it for a while, Cao Cao was very pleased, just about to turn around and leave, Cheng Yu hurriedly walked over, "Lord, great joy, just now Puyang City Zhongtian clan sent someone to send a secret letter, wanting to cooperate with us to take Puyang in one fell swoop." ”

"Oh?" Cao Cao was slightly surprised, he had always been suspicious, he took the letter and squinted his eyes, it was not like a trap, Tian was very sincere, and said a lot of bad things about Lu Bu in the letter, thinking about it day and night, hoping that Cao Cao could take Puyang as soon as possible.

Cao Cao looked at it three times, and then let down his guard, he thought that Tian was sending charcoal in the snow, and Cao Cao's situation was quite bad at the moment, compared with Lu Bu, he did not have the upper hand.

The situation is so stalemate, I am worried that I can't break the situation and turn the situation around, so I immediately agreed with Tian that tomorrow night, I will raise a fire and let Tian secretly open the city gate.

Cheng Yu said with a smile on the corner of his eyebrows: "Lord, this is an opportunity, otherwise, if we continue to stalemate with Lu Bu, we will soon be unable to supply grain and grass. ”

Cao Cao nodded, "Yes, it can't be delayed any longer." ”

Thinking of Luoyang, Cao Cao didn't want to split the victory with Lu Bu as soon as possible.

A person with a short eye will only see what is in front of him, while Cao Cao is ambitious and ambitious, thinks more and sees farther.

Actively prepared for a whole day, turned the day, night to the third watch, in the anxious waiting, sure enough, the east gate suddenly lit up the torch, followed by, the city gate opened, Tian lived up to Cao Cao's expectations, opened the city gate.

Cao Cao was ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly led people into the city, but, after entering the city, there was silence all around, and the more he walked forward, the more Cao Cao felt that the atmosphere was weird, and a sense of foreboding suddenly appeared in his heart. ”

"Haha, Cao Mengde, look where you run." Directly in front of Cao Cao, a thunderous roar suddenly sounded, followed by the sound of killing, and people crowded in all directions, not only lighting up the torches, but also flashing a dazzling cold light.

In front is Lu Bu, on the left is Zhang Liao, on the right is Gao Shun, and behind is Cao Xing Song Xian, like a big net, encircling Cao Cao.

Cao Cao led people to break through the siege, a scuffle, Cao Cao's team was rushed to pieces, the casualties were not counted, Lu Bu blocked the four gates, and chased Cao Cao everywhere.

Dian Wei hugged Cao Cao, desperately rushed out to kill, the iron halberd flew over, the blocker would die, Dian Wei, who launched the madness, was brave, the iron halberd passed everywhere, the dead body flew sideways, and finally rushed to the city gate, looking back, Dian Wei was dumbfounded, Cao Cao was actually gone.

Cao Cao didn't have time to keep up with Dian Wei, he was scattered by Lu Bu's men and horses, his luck was very unlucky, even the war horse was smashed down by a rolling log, and the horse's legs were broken, Cao Cao had no choice but to mix in the crowd and rush out on foot.

"That shorty, come here!"

Suddenly, someone shouted at him, Cao Cao's heart suddenly sank, and when he looked up, he saw that the gold armor and silver helmet were Lu Bulu Fengxian.

The battlefield was so chaotic, the light was very dim, and Cao Cao lost his horse, his clothes and armor were not in shape, and Lu Bu did not recognize him immediately.

"Shorty?"

No one has ever called Cao Cao for anything, Cao Cao actually minds very much in his heart, but when he thinks that the other party is Lu Bu, Cao Cao doesn't mind so much.

He is small, and Cao Cao has some inferiority complex in his heart about this matter.

Cao Cao lowered his head hard, trying not to let Lu Bu see his face, and cautiously leaned over, Lu Bu was riding on a horse, majestic and arrogant, seeing that the other party was scared like this, Lu Bu was very proud, "Let me ask you, where is Cao Cao?" ”

Cao Cao stretched out his hand and pointed to an unlucky man on a horse not far away, "The one riding the yellow horse is Cao Cao." ”

"Good!" Lu Bu nodded, clamped his legs the horse's back, and urged the horse to chase after him, Cao Cao was shocked into a cold sweat, did not dare to stop, and hurriedly rushed to the east gate.

Fortunately, many people came to respond, and finally protected Cao Cao and rushed out of the city gate, after leaving the city, he looked at his embarrassment, Cao Cao suddenly smiled, "Haha...... Lu Bu was incompetent, obviously trapped me, but he still let me rush out, and in the future, he will never have such a chance. ”

Cao Cao is open-minded by nature, no matter how embarrassed he is or how miserable he loses, he will never be discouraged.

Cao Cao's arrogant laughter also made the soldiers who were originally low-spirited forget the fiasco just now, and their spirits were cheered up.

…………

Lu Bu missed the opportunity to kill Cao Cao, but Liu Bei, who was sitting in Xuzhou, was proud of the spring breeze and had a comfortable heart.

Cao Cao was busy fighting with Lu Bu, and the fight was inextricable, Gongsun Zhan repaired Yi Jing and became a shrinking turtle, Yuan Shao also fought with Zhao Yun for a woman who had not passed the door, and even Liu Biao sent troops to participate in the war, and Xuzhou, the land of four wars, became a quiet and comfortable paradise for the first time.

On this day, Liu Bei found two brothers, and invited the civil and military ministers to set up a banquet for wine, and everyone drank and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite warm.

Some people think that Liu Bei brought good luck to Xuzhou, since Liu Bei came to Xuzhou, Cao Cao has two expeditions to the east, both of which have returned, if Tao Qian continues to reign, he may not be able to hold on.

The biggest enemy Cao Cao, the flawless clone, and Zhao Yun, who made Liu Bei the most unhappy, was also targeted by Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei was even more hearty than drinking honey.

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Bei stood up, "Everyone, although Xuzhou is temporarily stable, but we can't take it lightly, the ability to prepare is limited, people are soft-spoken, and I hope you will help you a lot in the future, and we will work together to protect Xuzhou." ”

Everyone has expressed their attitudes, Liu Bei has always been modest and low-key, friendly to others, and the ministers and scholars in Xuzhou still recognize Liu Bei very much.

It was Zhang Fei, after the banquet was over, he scolded unhappily, "Lu Bu's house, it's really hateful, for the sake of a woman, you actually dare to raise troops in Luoyang, big brother, it's better for us to give him a little bit of power from behind him." ”

Liu Bei glared at him, "Third brother, what nonsense are you talking about, even if Yuan Shao acts inappropriately, we can't take the liberty of going against him, the top priority is to hold on to the whole army and keep Xuzhou, which is more important than anything else." ”

There were some words, Liu Bei didn't dare to tell Zhang Fei that he had betrayed Gongsun Zan and joined Yuan Shao's camp.

Yuan Shao beat Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei couldn't get used to it, but Liu Bei was not, and he wished that Yuan Shao would defeat Zhao Yun.

Seeing that Guan Yu didn't say a word, squinting his eyes as if he was asleep, Liu Bei opened his mouth and asked, "Second brother, in your opinion, this Zhao Yun and Yuan Shao, who can win in the end?" ”
