When the news of Cao Ren's retreat reached the ears of Lu Bu's army, it was already the next day.

Lu Bu rode on the red rabbit horse, thinking repeatedly about which one Cao Ren was singing? If you want to fight, in the face of your own army, then Cao Ren will definitely be defeated; But if he doesn't fight, where will this Cao Ren run?

Lu Bu calmed down and carefully thought about the logic of the war situation.

If the attack on Juancheng was successful, then Cao Cao would either return to aid Juancheng, or besiege Wei to rescue Zhao, and attack Shanyang with the whole army in a desperate position. However, Shanyang County was guarded by Chen Gong himself, and judging from his understanding of Cao Cao's fighting style, if Cao Cao's whole army attacked Shanyang, he would not be able to attack it for a while. This means that if Cao Cao returns to aid Juancheng, then he can deploy the main force between Juyang and Juancheng, waiting for an opportunity to ambush Cao Cao's army to save Juancheng; If Cao Cao attacked Shanyang, it would be better, he could join forces with Chen Gong and annihilate Cao Cao's main force in one fell swoop.

Although Chen Gong's strategy is very beautiful, but Lu Bu is Lu Bu in the end, and at the critical moment, he is still empty-hearted.

Chen Gong's plan is very big, and Lu Bu, although he has mastered most of Yanzhou, but he has not yet begun to govern, who knows if someone will rebel against him Lu Bu like Cao Cao?

Therefore, after throwing copper coins into the sky dozens of times, Lü Bu decided to adopt his own strategy - neither to ambush the main force between Juyang and Juancheng, nor to save Shanyang, but to rescue Juyang on his own initiative

However, as soon as this large army came to Juyang, it was discovered that Cao Ren, the vanguard of the Cao army, had slipped away a day earlier.

Lu Bu was puzzled, and the scout suddenly came to report: The battle situation in Dingtao is urgent.

"Speak!"

The scout bowed his head and knelt down and said, "Report to the lord, Dingtao has found the main force of Cao Cao's army!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Bu jumped off the red rabbit horse, slipped the scout up, and shouted, "Damn, tell me quickly, what about Cao Ren?" ”

Where could the scout resist this intimidation, and he was frightened by Lu Bu to pee his pants in an instant, but it was okay, although the scout wet his pants, he still said hesitantly: "Cao Caoren is also there"

“****！” Lu Bu threw out the scout in his hand, and the scout screamed, fell heavily to the ground, and remained motionless.

Lu Bu immediately got on his horse, waved Fang Tian's halberd, and shouted: "The whole army obeys my order, hurry to Dingtao, and kill the Cao thief!" ”

Cao Cao's army.

Ma Xiaoquan sat bored on a chariot and watched Cao's army attack Dingtao from a distance.

Although the pottery is small, you really can't underestimate the person who guards the pottery.

Ma Xiaoquan quietly checked the data device in his body, and only then did he learn that the person responsible for guarding Dingtao was Jiyin Taishou Wu Zi, and Wu Capital did not have much information left in the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, but judging from the results, Cao Cao did not be able to knock down Dingtao.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled slightly, jumped off the chariot, trotted in front of Cao Cao alone, looked up and asked Cao Cao who was riding on the horse: "Xiao Cao, you have been playing this pottery for almost a day, why haven't you seen any other movements?" ”

Cao Cao wiped the beads of sweat off his head, and said solemnly: "Lord Shangxian, do you think I don't want to take down this Dingtao, but this Wu Zi is too powerful, how can I fight, I see that none of the soldiers and civilians of this Dingtao surrender?" ”

Regarding the issue of Dingtao soldiers and civilians not surrendering, there are records in history, and Ma Xiaoquan naturally found some from the data device in his body.

The reason is the same, not all because Cao Cao had slaughtered the city when he attacked Xuzhou, so Wu Zi lied to the soldiers and civilians of Dingtao and said that Cao Cao would slaughter the city no matter whether he could beat Dingtao or not.

Wu Zi said this, can the soldiers and civilians of Dingtao not rise up to resist?

Seeing Cao Cao's sad face, Ma Xiaoquan smiled and said, "Xiao Cao, since Dingtao can't be beaten, then don't fight." ”

When Cao Cao heard this, his eyes rolled, and he dismounted and said respectfully: "What is the high opinion of Lord Shangxian?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan shook his head, gently slapped Cao Cao's shoulder, and scolded with a smile: "You guy, you pretend to be quite similar, do you think that Ben Xian didn't see that you were making a feint?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment, but soon, his eyes rolled, and he pointed to the fierce battle not far ahead: "Lord Shangxian, how can there be a feint attack like this?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan squinted his eyes and said: "Don't make it up, Ben Xian knows, in fact, you set up a bureau for Chen Gong very early, not Lu Bu, of course, Lu Bu was also counted by your kid, am I right?" ”

Cao Cao was stunned for a moment and stopped talking.

Cao Cao said in his heart: This demon road is really good, I didn't even say Xun Yu about this strategy, if you want to say that the person who knows, that is, Cheng Yu alone, I didn't expect this demon road to see it so clearly, oops, fortunately, this demon road is on my side, otherwise, it's really troublesome, well, it seems that I want to have a good relationship with this demon road, of course, I have to be more guarded

Cao Cao smiled and pretended to be stupid: "Lord Shangxian said that he was laughing, if you want to blame it, you also blame Chen Gongtai for rebelling against me, then Lu Feng took the opportunity to grab my straw first."

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and interrupted Cao Cao: "Next, what are you going to do?" ”

Cao Cao's face changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "One word - drag!" ”

Cao Cao's words were concise and powerful, Ma Xiaoquan laughed, patted Cao Cao's shoulder fiercely, and left without saying a word.

Back on the chariot, Mao Gang asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Master, General Cao (referring to Cao Cao) seems to be withdrawing." ”

Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand and shouted to Zhang Gong who was driving the chariot: "Keep up with Cao Cao, don't fall behind!" ”

Zhang Gong laughed: "Okay! ”

Lu Bu is here again.

But this time, Lu Bu pounced again.

After getting the emergency battle situation, Lu Bu led the soldiers to come to the rescue non-stop.

However, the two-day long journey, from Shanyang to Juyang, and then to Dingtao, is equivalent to a big "S" road.

Soldiers are also people, and generals are even more people. People are flesh and blood, not iron, and after this toss, Lu Bujun is already tired and hungry.

When approaching Dingtao, Lu Bu ordered to stop, and then sent scouts to Dingtao to investigate.

After some investigation, the scout came to report that he had not seen Cao Cao.

"Huh?" Lu Bu was confused, where the hell did this Cao Cao go.

"Damn, don't think about it yet!" Lu Bu gritted his teeth, raised Fang Tian's painting halberd and shouted, "The whole army listens to my orders, enter Dingtao, and rest first!" ”

The lord gave an order, and his soldiers were grateful. After all, this has come full circle, and everyone is indeed tired and hungry, at this time, not to mention the soldiers, Lu Bu has always had a thought in his heart - that is, don't say anything first, let the old men go into the city to eat something and then sleep for a while.

Lu Bu's whole army rushed excitedly in the direction of Dingtao, but before he could rush halfway, the rear army suddenly came to report that Cao Cao appeared.

"I~say~" Lu Bu roared, and almost fell off the red rabbit horse in anger.

(Okay, this is a little ahead, in fact, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Lu Bu shouldn't have been able to say this, but this situation really needs to be described.) Lu Bu was helpless, endured hunger and fatigue, turned the horse's head with Fang Tian's halberd, and ran to the rear.

In the rear of Lu Bujun, Cao Jun was also excited, but these dog-day guys were all well-fed and full men, compared to the hungry men on the opposite side who had not yet eaten, the advantages of the full men were immediately reflected.

Cao Cao happily brandished the Yitian Sword, rode a shadowless horse and stood beside Ma Xiaoquan's chariot, and said to Ma Xiaoquan in high spirits: "See, Lord Shangxian, then Lu Bu is so tired that he can't even find his father, how can he fight with me Cao someone, haha"

Ma Xiaoquan didn't know where to get a feather fan, and he didn't care that it was still in the spring moon, so he was a fierce fan on his head, and after slapping it a lot, Ma Xiaoquan stopped, and whispered to himself: "This Zhuge Liang doesn't seem to be good, forget it, don't play this first, and talk about it later."

Yang Hu and Ding Yi looked at the master fan with their eyes open, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they had to endure it with a red face.

Ma Xiaoquan stopped helplessly, rolled his eyes and responded to Cao Cao: "That's not necessarily! ”

Cao Cao pursed his lips in disbelief.

Ma Xiaoquan turned the feather fan horizontally, pointed to Lu Bu in the distance and said: "See, then Lu Bu took the lead in killing, his horse martial arts are unparalleled in the world, plus his red rabbit horse under the crotch, Xiao Cao, I'm afraid you are a little hanging."

Cao Cao looked in the direction of Ma Xiaoquan's fan and was shocked.

Cao Cao said in his heart: This demon Dao is really reasonable, then Lu Bu is tired like this, and he can still beat my front to retreat, if Lu Bu is full, then I have to wash my ass and wait for carrots? (Okay, Xiao Jue here is evil again, in fact, it should be like this, Cao Cao should want to wash his neck and wait to be slaughtered.) Cao Cao's eyes rolled and he gave an urgent order: always be an arrow away from Lu Bu.

Cao Cao's order had a substantial effect, and the distance of this arrow was no more or less, which just made Lu Bu scream angrily.

Looking at Lu Bu who was shuttling among the arrows, Cao Cao was envious of Lu Bu's bravery and anxious.

"You stupid pigs, so many people put so many arrows, why can't you shoot Lu Bu? Shoot for Lao Tzu! ”

Cao Jun's archers were depressed - lord, do you think we didn't shoot, we even used the strength to eat, but we just couldn't shoot.

Cao Cao didn't care about this, the more he looked at it, the more anxious he became, and immediately added an order - anyone who couldn't shoot Lu Bu would not be given to his daughter-in-law after the battle.

When the archers heard this, how could this work? The daughter-in-law who said it was good is gone? I~~, I've been holding back for a long time, no, I'm out of the way.

Suddenly, Cao Jun's archers were like eating an aphrodisiac, and they drew arrows one by one with red eyes and shot angrily.

Most of Lu Bu's side were cavalry, and before that, he could still roam around Cao Jun with ease, since Cao Cao didn't know what order he had given, why did he suddenly feel the pressure increase sharply?

Before Lu Bu could react, several cavalrymen around him screamed and fell off their horses.

Lu Bu was also quick to react, and hurriedly ordered the horse's head to be turned and retreated.

Since most of Lü Bu's army were cavalry, it didn't take much effort to withdraw from Cao's bow and arrow range.

After resting for a while, Lu Bu comforted the soldiers and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have also seen the Cao army, why are they so powerful, because they are all tied to grain bags, and you will kill him with me and take away his grain bags."

Lu Bu's encouragement seemed to be a little bit left, and in an instant, there were really a large number of stupid soldiers who followed Lu Bu and killed them again.

However, it was Cao Cao's real main force that greeted this group of hungry men, and of course, they were all well-fed and full men.

There is no doubt that a hungry man will be defeated against a full man, so Lu Bu's battle can be regarded as a complete load

Cao Cao just wanted to give the order to pursue the remnants of Lu Bu, but Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward and dragged Cao Cao off his horse.

Cao Cao said unhappily: "Lord Shangxian, what do you mean?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan used his mouth to Nu not far from Dingtao City.

How smart Cao Cao is, Ma Xiaoquan will understand him a little.

"Thank you for your advice! I almost forgot about it, and there was still a dingtao that didn't come down. ”

Cao Cao hurriedly ran away and gave the order to siege the city, while Ma Xiaoquan wiped his sweat and said in his heart: You fucking Cao Cao, if you kid really chase Lu Bu, how will history continue? Fortunately, Ma Ye, I have put history back on track

Defeated Lü Bu's army of 50,000, Cao Cao was very proud, he thought that as soon as Lü Bu withdrew, Dingtao would surrender.

However, Cao Cao was wrong.

Tempting the siege? Void!

Persuasion? Instead, he was ridiculed by Wu Zi, the general of the city guard, on the city tower, and Wu Zi scolded Cao Cao and said: "Cao thief, you are a eunuch."

Cao Cao is most angry that others have insulted his birth, but there is no way, he is indeed a eunuch, but the eunuch is a eunuch, how can a eunuch have descendants.

"I~day~he~mother~!" Cao Cao slammed the Heavenly Sword to the ground.

Ma Xiaoquan stepped forward, picked up the Yitian sword, gently wiped the sword body, and said slowly: "Xiao Cao, don't fight if you can't beat it, don't you have much food and grass?" ”

Cao Cao thought about it carefully, and what Lord Shangxian said was also true, forget it, withdraw it.

As soon as he figured it out, Cao Cao was not angry. Looking at Dingtao, who was still standing, Cao Cao sighed deeply.

"Pass my order, withdraw the troops!"

In the battle of Dingtao, although Cao Cao defeated Lu Bu, it can only be said that he won a miserable victory.

Afterwards, Ma Xiaoquan built yì Cao Cao to do an inspection and read it out in front of the whole army.

Ma Xiaoquan was originally joking, but he didn't expect Cao Cao to really take this matter seriously.

At noon three days later, Ma Xiaoquan was just about to nibble on the pheasant legs that Lianglong had newly called, and Cao Cao rushed in "unfortunately".

Seeing the pheasant leg in Shangxian's hand, Cao Cao first swallowed his saliva fiercely, and then said: "Lord Shangxian, I have already written the examination, and I will read it to you!" ”

When Ma Xiaoquan heard this, he hurriedly stopped: "Okay, okay, okay, I know, I'll finish eating this chicken leg first." ”

Ma Xiaoquan said, picked up the chicken leg, and sent it to his mouth.

At the moment of delivery, Ma Xiaoquan suddenly found that Cao Cao's eyes were shining with red light, and the focus of this red light was the pheasant leg in his hand.

Ma Xiaoquan smiled and threw the pheasant leg to Cao Cao: "Take it and eat it, and read it after eating!" ”

Cao Cao carefully caught the pheasant leg, sighed heavily, and ran out.

After Cao Cao ran out, his apprentice Mao Gang stepped forward and asked, "Master, why do I look at General Cao like a baby?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan laughed: "Xiao Cao, in fact, he is very cute, don't you think so?" ”

When Mao Gang heard this, he shook his head incomprehensibly.

Beside Mao Gang, the literate Ding Yi and Yang Hu repeatedly chewed on the word in the master's sentence just now: cute.
