The captain of the city gate said that it was not big, and it was not small to say that it was not small, and he was in charge of the guarding of the city gate of the county town, and could command the city gate guards of more than 100 people.

After hearing this, Tian Ren hurriedly thanked him, his son was able to become the captain of the city gate, and then in Puyang City in the future, who would dare to offend their Tian family?

Those who are usually against the Tian family, Tian Ren has figured out how to deal with them at the moment, as long as they make it difficult when they enter and exit the city gate, it will be enough for them to suffer.

Cao Cao didn't seem to treat Tian Ren very well, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, you retreat first, we still have important matters to discuss." ”

Tian Ren did not dare to disobey and quickly withdrew, while Cao Cao also gathered civil and military forces to discuss the strategy of going to Liu Bei.

The news of the destruction of Puyang City soon spread back to Zhao Qian's mansion in Jinyang, and Zhao Qian couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"This Liu Bei is too weak, right? With so much fine equipment provided by me, how did you lose so quickly? Zhao Qian shook his head and said to everyone.

Guo Jia smiled and said: "Judging from some previous events, Liu Bei is quite ambitious, but there are very few people who can use it. ”

Xun You also nodded and said: "Yes, Liu Bei's subordinates are no more than Chen Gong, and Wu is no more than Guan Yu, as for Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, how can they be Cao Cao's opponents." ”

"However, the school knife team established by Guan Yu is not bad, and it has won a few beautiful battles." Zhao Yun praised slightly.

Zhang Fei pursed his lips very indifferently and said, "That's just the sharp knife that the eldest brother sold him, what's the big deal." ”

Zhao Qian smiled slightly, and said: "Yi Demo wants to underestimate that Guan Yu, this person is brave and strategic, and he can't underestimate the enemy, although his five hundred school sword team is established with fine iron and sharp knives, but the army has been completed, and it is also an elite division of Liu Bei in the future." ”

Zhang Fei still had some disdain on his face, but he didn't say anything, after all, he didn't dare to refute Zhao Qian's words.

"And Cao Cao, in a short period of time, he set up a tiger and leopard cavalry, and his combat power is extraordinary, which is really impressive!" Zhao Qian said again.

Guo Jia nodded and said: "Compared with Liu Bei, Cao Cao's subordinates have a lot more talents, not to mention the ministers, just the military generals, such as Dian Wei, Xiahou Brothers, Cao Ren, Yu Ban, etc., are all generals who can take charge of themselves in any prince's place, and it is not surprising that Liu Bei is not his opponent." ”

"Yes, before that Cao Chun was inconspicuous and not leaky, who would have thought that it was the tiger and leopard cavalry led by him that resisted Guan Yu's school knife team, thus turning the tide of the battle." Xun Yu is in line with the Tao.

Zhao Qian let out a sigh of relief and said, "How to deal with this situation now?" If Liu Bei hadn't been pulled, Chen Liu would have fallen into Cao Cao's hands in an instant. ”

Guo Jia thought for a while and said, "If the lord wants Liu Bei to continue to drag Cao Cao, he must have external help. ”

"External forces?" Zhao Qian frowned, "The external force that can help Liu Bei, is it Yuan Shu?" ”

Guo Jia shook his head and said: "Yuan Shu rescued Tao Qian before, and he lost his troops and generals, and he will definitely no longer directly interfere in Cao Cao's affairs, besides, I heard recently that Yuan Shu and Liu Biao have some friction, and I don't have the energy to pay attention to the affairs of Yanzhou, and the other force must not be Yuan Shu." ”

"Who's the right person?" Zhao Qian asked.

Guo Jia smiled slightly and said, "Dongwu Yang is too guarded by Zang Hong!" ”

"Zang Hong?" Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and didn't seem to remember that there was such a person, so he asked, "Who is this?" ”

"Zang Hong and Zhang Chao were on good terms, and when Zhang Chao was still the Taishou of Guangling, he strongly suggested that Zhang Chao participate in the alliance to crusade against Dong Zhuo."

"Later, Zang Hong came to Yuan Shao's account to appoint, and now he is the Taishou of Dongwu Yang." Guo Jia said.

Zhao Qian thought for a moment and said, "In this way, this Zang Hong is Yuan Shao's person, and Yuan Shao will agree to him to rescue Liu Bei?" ”

"I shouldn't have agreed." Guo Jia said, "But now it seems that Yuan Shao's increase in troops in Qingzhou obviously wants to get involved in Xuzhou or Yanzhou, so he will definitely agree to Zang Hong's rescue of Zhang Chao, that is, to rescue Liu Bei, because Yuan Shao also does not want Yanzhou to be unified by Cao Cao too early." ”

"Moreover, the location of Dongwuyang is very special, although it is located in Yanzhou East County, it is within the jurisdiction of Yuan Shao, presumably Yuan Shao has long wanted to extend his hand to Yanzhou." Xun Yu added.

Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Then how do you make Zang Hong save Liu Bei?" ”

"This is simple, that Zang Hong is a righteous man, as long as he sends someone to inform him that Zhang Chao is besieged by Cao Cao and is in danger, he will definitely go to the rescue." Guo Jia said.

"Gongda, how about the plan of filial piety?" Zhao Qian asked Xun You.

Xun You nodded and said, "This plan is okay." ”

So, Zhao Qian exchanged for the sergeant of the Feixun Battalion and asked him to spread the news to Dongwuyang.

A few days later, Cao Cao's army marched from Puyang City in Dongjun to Chenliu, and the troops in the county towns along the way could not stop Cao Cao's footsteps at all.

The army fought until the city of Chenliu, Cao Cao stopped the army, and after pressing the camp, he led the army to the city of Chenliu.

Cao Cao Ce immediately took a step forward, pointed to Zhang Miao on the city wall, and shouted: "Meng Zhuo, I and you are also small, why did you betray me, but welcome Liu Bei?" ”

Zhang Miao stood on the city wall, looking at Cao Cao, his expression was a little complicated, and after a while, he replied: "Meng De, I was friendly with Lu Bu before, after Lu Bu defected to the beginning, I accepted several of his generals, the original order was to kill me, I know, in order to save my life, I have to do this, Meng Deruo is grateful for the friendship of his childhood, and please retreat quickly." ”

Cao Cao frowned and said, "Oh, Meng Zhuo, this is all wishful thinking, how could I harm Brother Meng Zhuo?" ”

"That being the case, Meng De also asked to retreat quickly." Zhang Miao continued.

Cao Cao snorted coldly and said: "It's not impossible to retreat, it's just that Meng Zhuo needs to hand over Liu Bei and Guan Yu, these two have killed a lot of my soldiers, and I must not spare the two of them!" ”

Before Zhang Miao could answer, Chen Gong next to him was anxious, reached out and grabbed a sergeant's bow, recognized the string, and shot an arrow at Cao Cao.

However, Chen Gong is a civil servant after all, his strength is limited, and the bow and arrow are not far away, and he has no strength, and when he is in front of Cao Cao, he is already at the end of the crossbow, and with a snap, it just fell in front of Cao Cao.

Cao Cao was taken aback, and broke out in a cold sweat, not because he was frightened by Chen Gong's arrow, but because he thought that even Chen Gong could shoot in front of him, if he changed to someone who was good at shooting, he would probably have been hit by an arrow.

"Cao Cao, you regard my Yanzhou celebrities as pigs and dogs, wantonly kill, I don't share the sky with you!" Chen Gong scolded.

Cao Cao was furious, pointed at Chen Gong with a whip, and said: "Chen Gongtai, when the city is broken, I swear to kill you to eliminate the hatred in my heart!" ”
