Cao Bing was well-trained, brave in battle, Cao Hongxia, Hou Yuan and others were all battlefield veterans of the three armies, the result is not difficult to imagine, the Xuzhou army was routed on the whole line, and the killed scattered and fled, with countless casualties.

Tao Qian was very embarrassed and fled to Tancheng with the remnants of the defeated army, and Cao Cao swept with a thunderbolt and successfully captured Pengcheng, the seat of Xuzhou.

After entering the city, Cao Cao raised his sword high and asked the people who lived in Pengcheng and the people who came here to take refuge all of them to drive them to the banks of the Surabaya River outside the city.

The Surabaya River, the waves are rolling, the water is turbulent, tens of thousands of people are terrified and frightened to the extreme, everyone is worried, their hearts are all hanging in their throats, I don't know, what kind of fate awaits them.

"Lord, everyone is here, please give an order." Xiahou Yuan urged the horse to raise the whip and came to Cao Cao's side.

Cao Cao didn't look back, like a clay statue, there was no expression on his indifferent face, he waved his hand, and Cao Cao ordered, "Don't leave one, kill!" ”

Although many people had been killed, Cao Cao's order still shocked Xiahou Yuan, and he was stunned for a moment, Xiahou Yuan said, "Lord, we finally captured Pengcheng, we really want to ...... Kill them all? ”

Cao Cao turned around and glared at him coldly, although Cao Cao was not tall and was not a battle-hardened general, but the compelling momentum exuded from his body for a moment made Xiahou Yuan gasp in his heart, and he had no choice but to nod and respond, "No!" ”

Xiahou Yuan ordered that these people, in units of thousands, take turns to cut and kill until they were killed.

A thousand elite Cao soldiers armed with big knives stood in a row, and the people of Pengcheng were escorted to the shore in batches, all of them were pressed to the ground, Xiahou Yuan gave an order, and a snowy knife light flashed mercilessly, for a while, the head was rolling, the blood rain was splashing, and a thousand heads rolled directly into the Surabaya River, followed by the headless corpses were also thrown into the sea, and the originally clear and turbulent river water was suddenly blood-red.

Although the remaining people wanted to resist, under the guard of tens of thousands of heavily armed Cao soldiers, no one could resist, so they could only silently wait for the judgment of death.

Wave after wave, once at a time, it took more than two hours to kill, the tired executioner's arm was sore, the original sharp blade was also rolled, and the corpses of the Surabaya River accumulated more and more, completely dyed into a big pool of blood, even the river was blocked, and the bloody gas spread for dozens of miles.

Cao Cao commanded the army and fought a beautiful victory, but it is a pity that he washed Xuzhou in blood, but left a stain on his political career that can never be washed away.

The news spread, and the world was shocked.

Zhao Yun sighed heavily, his brows were furrowed for a while, and his face was full of sadness, if he continued like this, Tao Qian was not Cao Cao's opponent at all, and he didn't know how many people would be killed or injured, and this matter must be stopped.

In the history books, there are two reasons why Cao Cao withdrew his troops from Xuzhou, one is that Tao Qian invited rescuers, and second, and most importantly, Lu Bu copied Cao Cao's nest and almost took Yanzhou completely, but when he thought that Lu Bu was staying by his side now, Zhao Yun smiled bitterly in his heart, no one restrained Cao Cao, how is this good?

Zhao Yun hurriedly summoned people to the house, Cai Yan hurriedly asked people to prepare tea, knowing that Zhao Yun had a military situation to discuss, Cai Yan retreated very obediently.

Since the two got married, Cai Yong also moved to Zhao Yun's house together, Zhao Yun rescued a lot of trafficked people from Nanyang, some joined the army, some joined the spy shadow, and many people volunteered to stay in Zhao Yun's mansion, so a lot of people were added to the mansion at once, and there were also special people to serve the guests.

The atmosphere was very tense, and after a while, Tian Chou took the lead in breaking the dull atmosphere, "Lord, Cao Cao's name is to avenge his father, but in fact, it is to plot Xuzhou, we must not let Cao Cao become bigger, otherwise, it will inevitably pose a threat to us." ”

Cao Cao's Yanzhou and Luoyang, gathered only more than 100 miles, although there is a gap between Yuzhou, but Yuzhou has been affected by several wars, nominally occupied by Yuan Shao, but Yuan Shao and Cao Cao have always been very close, Yuzhou has almost no restrictions on Cao Cao, once he captures Xuzhou, maybe he can reach out to Luoyang at any time.

Zhao Yun is to support the Han family, and the other princes, how can it be the same, but they just regard the Kuang Fu Han family as a slogan to realize their ambitions and selfish desires.

On the side of the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly, not to mention that Cao Cao has gone too far, killing people and slaughtering cities, and washing more than a dozen cities in succession, which not only makes Tian Chou and others resentful, but also makes people deeply feel Cao Cao's terrible and fierce.

Liu Zheng nodded, got up and stood up, "Zitai is right, Cao Cao's atrocities must be stopped, let alone let him seize Xuzhou." ”

Zhao Yun thought so, others didn't know Cao Cao, but Zhao Yun didn't, don't look at the previous alliance with Cao Cao to deal with Yuan Shu, it was just a temporary expedient measure.

Once Cao Cao's power swelled, he was far more threatening than Yuan Shao, but Zhao Yun could not directly send troops, and when he was in a dilemma, someone came to report, "Lord, Lu Bu asks to see." ”

It turned out that Lu Bu was here to resign, he was tired of staying in Luoyang for a long time, Luoyang had nothing, and it was no longer the prosperous and lively Holy Land of the Son of Heaven before, except for the simple houses, it was an endless wheat field, Lu Bu wandered around all day, and he really felt depressed in his heart.

People go to high places, water flows to low places, since following Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu's life has completely undergone earth-shaking changes, it can be said that it is a step to the sky, no matter where he goes, he is full of brocade clothes and jade food, high cars and horses, front and back, praise and praise are endless, although Zhao Yun is good to him, but Lu Bu is really tired of staying in Luoyang, here is not even a decent city, Lu Bu wants to say goodbye and leave, and look for a new stage for him again.

Lu Bu was leaving, and without waiting for Zhao Yun to say anything, Lu Bu said without concealment, "I want to go to Yanzhou." ”

Zhao Yun couldn't cry or laugh, and secretly sighed in his heart, could it be that there is a providence in the dark, this Lu Bu turned around, and still set his eyes on Yanzhou.

It's just that it is different from the history books, Lu Bu is very grateful to Zhao Yun for taking him in when he is in trouble, and repeatedly said, "In the future, if my brother is in trouble, Lu Fengxian will never stand idly by." ”

Lu Bu has always been unkind, and Zhao Yun didn't take his words to heart.

Zhao Yun personally set up a banquet with wine, invited Lu Bu and his generals, and gave him the right to eat.

Zhang Liao didn't support Lu Bu's decision, obviously Zhao Yun had already praised Lu Bu as Henan Yin, and he didn't treat him badly, and gave Lu Bu 10,000 soldiers and horses for nothing, Zhang Liao very much hoped that Lu Bu could join forces with Zhao Yun and do a vigorous career, but Lu Bu was too comfortable and too arrogant and conceited, he always thought that leaving Zhao Yun would definitely be able to make a name for himself with his skills, and he would never lose to Cao Cao, Yuan Shu and others.
