Cao Cao led the army to Jibei, and Xiahou Yuan and others welcomed him into the camp, and his brother Xiahou was blinded and lay ill. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After Cao Cao heard Xiahou Yuan's story, he didn't care much, so he ran all the way to Xiahou Yuan's recuperation place to visit, and he didn't even know that the shoes he was wearing fell off.

Seeing Xiahoudun lying on the bed, with gauze wrapped in his left eye, and blood spilling on it, Cao Cao couldn't help frowning.

Holding Xiahoudun's hand and comforting him, he ordered him to return to Xudu to recuperate and recuperate, and at the same time sent someone to find out where Lu Bu was.

After getting Cao Cao's order, the probe horse reported back to Cao Cao: "At this moment, Lu Bu and Chen Gong, Zang Ba and others have joined forces with Taishan thieves and are attacking the counties of Yanzhou together!" ”

After Cao Cao heard the report, he was furious in his heart: "Good you Lu Bu, you dare to attack my Yanzhou!" ”

Guo Jia, the military advisor who followed on the side, listened to Tanma's return, chuckled, saluted Cao Cao, and said, "Lord, this is a good opportunity to attack Xuzhou!" ”

"Lu Bu has no plan, although Chen Gongtai has a plan, he often finds out after the fact, so there is no need to worry! At this moment, although Lu Bu attacked the counties of Yanzhou, he could not fight it in a short time and a half, I am afraid that Chen Gongtai planned for him and wanted our army to retreat to Yanzhou! ”

"However, our army can also take this opportunity to attack Xiaopei and capture the land of Xuzhou!"

"So far, Lu Bu Yanzhou has not been captured, but it has also lost its foundation, how can it be an enemy of the lord again!"

Hearing Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao pondered for a while, nodded, and then ordered Cao Ren to lead three thousand soldiers to attack Peicheng.

Cao Cao personally raised the army and Liu Bei to fight Lu Bu together, and went to Shandong, near Xiaoguan, and happened to meet Taishan Kou Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Feng and others led more than 30,000 troops to block his way.

Cao Cao glanced at the rabble standing in front of him, snorted coldly with disdain, and then ordered Xu Chu to fight.

The four generals immediately stepped forward and rushed towards Xu Chu.

Xu Chu looked at the approaching four people, snorted disdainfully, picked up his knife and rode forward, and slashed at the four people with a knife.

The sword flashed, and when the horses of the two sides intersected, only one headless corpse was left on the horse.

When the head landed, there was still a look of disbelief on the faces of the four people, they would not die until they died, and the four of them besieged one person, but they were beheaded by one of them.

The 30,000 rabble who followed the four generals saw that the four generals were beheaded at the same time in less than a round, and their faces immediately turned shocked, and there was a faint hint of defeat.

Cao Cao narrowed his eyes and swung his army forward, and the 30,000 rabble saw the army coming, and immediately turned around and ran, like an avalanche, routed and scattered.

Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to cover up and chase all the way to Xiao Pass.

Tan Ma Fei reported to Lu Bu, at this time Lu Bu had heard the news, and learned that Cao Ren led 3,000 soldiers to attack Peicheng, so he quickly returned to Xuzhou, and ordered Chen Qi to garrison Xuzhou, wanting to rescue Xiao Pei with Chen Deng.

Before Chen Deng left, his father Chen Qi said to him: "In the past, Cao Gong once said that everything in the East will be paid to you!" Today, Lu Bu will be defeated, you can do it! ”

Chen Deng nodded slightly, stroked his beard, and responded: "Things outside, do it yourself!" ”

"If Lu Bu is defeated, my father will ask Mi Zhu to defend the city together, and let Lu Bu enter the city, and my son will have his own plan to get out!"

Listening to Chen Deng's words, Chen Qi frowned: "Lu Bu's wife and children are all here, and they have a lot of henchmen, what can they do about it?" ”

"You've got a plan!"

After the words were finished, Chen Deng met Lu Bu and said to him: "Now, Xuzhou is under attack on all sides, Cao Cao will definitely attack, and we should think about retreating first!" ”

"Wen Hou can first move the money and grain to Xiapi, if Xuzhou is surrounded, Xiapi will also have food to save! Why didn't the lord plan ahead? ”

Hearing Chen Deng's words, Lu Bu did not doubt that he had him, at this time, he had long forgotten what Lu Xun said to him that day, and he said to him: "Yuanlong's words are very good!" I should transfer my wife and children away. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Bu ordered Song Xian and Wei to move in to protect his wife and children and move to Xiapi with Qian Liang, and at the same time he led the army and Chen Deng to rescue Xiao Guan.

Halfway through, Chen Deng suddenly said to Lu Bu: "Rong will go to the gate first to investigate Cao Cao's reality and reality, and Wen Hou can move forward!" ”

Lu Bu heard what he said, and after thinking about it for a while, he nodded in agreement.

After Chen Deng got Lu Bu's promise, he came to the gate first.

Chen Gong and the others, who heard the news, didn't know what Chen Deng was from, so they hesitated a little and came to meet him.

When Chen Deng saw Chen Deng and the others coming out to greet him, he pretended to be warm and angry on his face, and scolded him: "Wen Hou blames the public for refusing to move forward, and he wants to punish him!" ”

Chen Gong heard Chen Deng's reprimand, frowned, and said to him: "Today, Cao's army is large, and the enemy cannot be underestimated, we can guard the pass tightly, and it is the best policy to persuade the lord to protect Peicheng deeply!" ”

Chen Deng didn't say anything about what Chen Gong said, but just nodded slightly.

In the evening, Chen climbed the pass and looked, and saw that Cao Bing was approaching the pass, so he took advantage of the night to write three letters in a row, tied them to arrows, and shot them down.

Cao Jun, who was under the gate, took the letter shot by Chen Deng and hurriedly handed it to Cao Cao.

Cao Cao read the content written on the letter, and couldn't help but praise it repeatedly: "Yuanlong's plan is very good! Wonderful! ”

The next day, Chen Deng resigned from Chen Gong and others, and Pegasus came to see Lu Bu: "Close Sun Guan and others want to sacrifice the pass, I will leave Chen Gong to guard the pass, and Wen Hou can kill and save at dusk!" ”

Lu Bu heard Chen Deng's words, patted Chen Deng's shoulder, and said to him: "If it is not fair, this is closed!" ”

When the words fell, Lu Bu ordered Chen Dengfei to ride to Guanzhong first, and asked Chen Gong to be the internal response, and raised the fire as the number.

After Chen Deng got Lu Bu's order, he went straight back to Chen Gong, but he said: "Cao Bing has taken the path to the pass, I am afraid that Xuzhou will be lost, and the public should return in a hurry!" ”

Chen Gong listened to Chen Deng's words, and had him in his heart, and for a while he didn't think that Chen Deng might lie to him, so he listened to his words and led everyone to abandon the pass.

Chen Deng saw Chen Gong and his party leaving the pass, so he came to the gate and lit the fire.

When Lu Bu saw that he was closing the fire and raising the fire, he took advantage of the darkness to kill.

Chen Gong and the others happened to meet Lu Bu's army, and in the dark night, both sides thought that the other party was Cao Jun, and they killed each other without knowing it.

On the other side, Cao Bing saw the fire, and he also killed it together and took advantage of the situation to attack.

Seeing that there were enemies all around, Sun Guan and the others were frightened, but they couldn't resist it, so they scattered and fled.

Lu Bu didn't kill until dawn, only to see that it was Chen Gong and others who fought with him all night, so he knew that it was a plan, and hurriedly returned to Xuzhou with Chen Gong.

When he arrived at the edge of the city to call the door, he didn't want to shoot arrows from the city.

Mi Zhu stood on top of the city tower, looked at the defeated army of Lu Bu, and scolded loudly: "Lu Bu, in the past, you took my main city, and now you should still return my lord, you must not enter this city again!" ”

Lu Bu was furious in his heart and shouted at him: "Where is Chen Qi? ”

Mi Zhu heard Lu Bu's angry shouting, and sneered: "I can take this city, of course, there is Lao Chen Gong!" ”

When Lu Bu heard Mi Zhu's words, he was shocked in his heart, and looked back at Chen Gong: "Where is Chen Deng'an?" ”

Chen Gong still didn't know that he had fallen for someone else's scheme, so he gritted his teeth at Lu Bu and said, "The general is still obsessed and asks this thief?" ”

Lu Bu ordered people to search for the army, but there was no trace of him, so he believed that he had been deceived by Chen Deng.

Thinking of the advice Lu Xun left when he was leaving, Lu Bu couldn't help beating his chest angrily, regretting in his heart that he didn't keep his advice in his heart.

Seeing this scene, Chen Gong on the side hurriedly persuaded Lu Bu to rush to Xiaopei and leave.

At this time, Lu Bu had long run out of ideas, and when he heard Chen Gong's persuasion, he immediately listened to his words, turned around, and headed towards Xiao Pei.

Halfway down the road, I saw a large army suddenly appear.

Lu Bu stared at it and found that it was the army led by Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others.

Looking at Gao Shun and Zhang Liao who suddenly appeared here, Chen Gong's heart was filled with a hint of foreboding.

Lu Bu stepped forward to ask, and the two frowned, and they also found something wrong, but they still replied to him: "Chen Deng came to report, saying that the lord was besieged, and he specially ordered me to hurry to rescue the lord." ”

Chen Gong heard Gao Shun and Zhang Liao's answers, just as he guessed in his heart, and immediately howled: "This is the thief's plan again!" ”

When Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words, he was furious in his heart, his eyes exuded a burst of murderous intent, and he shouted: "I will kill this thief!" ”

Chen Gong suddenly thought of an idea in his mind, and he was shocked, and immediately said to Lu Bu: "Lord, Chen Deng's traitor transferred Gao Shun and Zhang Liao from Xiao Pei, I'm afraid that Xiao Pei has fallen into the hands of Cao thief at this moment, I'm afraid I can only go down!" ”

"How is that possible? It's only been a long time, how could it fall into the hands of the Cao thief! ”

Lu Bu, who didn't believe what Chen Gong said, frowned, and galloped towards Xiao Pei on horseback.

Seeing this, Chen Gong was shocked, so he hurriedly drove his horse to follow.

Quickly galloped to the foot of Xiaopei City, only to see that all the banners of Cao Bing were planted on Xiaopei City, and Lu Bu believed what Chen Gong said before.

It turned out that Cao Cao had already ordered Cao Ren to sneak attack the city and lead the army to defend it after Gao Shun and Zhang Liao led the army.

Lu Bu stood under the city, thinking of Chen Deng's shameless behavior, he scolded him.

Hearing Lu Bu's insults, Chen Deng also appeared in the city, pointing at this Lu Bu and scolding: "I am Hanchen, Anken is a thief of you!" ”

Lu Bu listened to Chen Deng's words, his heart was furious, and he was about to lead the army to attack the city, when he suddenly heard a loud shout behind him, and a team of people came, and the first general was Zhang Fei.

Gao Shun went out to meet the enemy, but he couldn't win, so Lu Bu had to take the battle in person.

During the fight, the shouts outside the battle resumed, and Cao Cao's pro-unified army rushed forward.

Lu Bu knew that it would be difficult to resist the enemy for a while, so he led the army to flee to the east, and the Cao army chased after him.

Lu Bu walked sleepily, but suddenly a team of people and horses blocked the way.

As the first general, he immediately crossed the knife and shouted: "Lu Buxiu go!" Guan Yunchang is here! ”

Lu Bu hurriedly took the battle, and Zhang Fei came from behind him.

Seeing Guan Yu and Zhang Fei coming on their horses, Lu Bu was shocked, but he had no intention of fighting, and he was afraid that he would fall into the encirclement, so he opened a bloody road with Chen Gong and others, and went straight to Xiapi......
