That night, the broken Lu Bu army finally set up camp, and the pursuing Cao Cao army was also camped ten miles away at this time. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Lu Bu finally had time to sit down and take a good rest. These days, with these 30,000 soldiers and horses, he delayed Cao Cao's army, in order to buy time for the vanguard Cheng Lian and Chen Gong, who was already in charge of the Chinese army. Although Zhao Yun is brave, with only 5,000 soldiers and horses, it is not easy to capture Xuzhou. What's more, calculating the time, Cheng Lian should have been under the city of Xuzhou at this time, Zhao Yun is now suffering from the enemy on his back, and it will not be easy if the whole army is not annihilated, how can he take Xuzhou City? Thinking about it this way, Xuzhou City should still be in his hands.

As long as Xuzhou City is still there, he has not lost this battle. After all, there are two generals Hou Cheng and Song Xian in Xuzhou City, as well as many soldiers and horses, grain and grass. As long as he rushes back to Xuzhou, the number of soldiers and horses under his command is not inferior to the current Cao Cao. At that time, with the benefits of Xuzhou City and the support of Xiapi, it will not be easy for Cao Cao to defeat himself......

"Report ......" A voice came from outside the tent, and a soldier hurriedly ran into Lu Bu's big tent, knelt down on one knee and said: "Tell the lord, Chen Junshi is in a hurry." ”

Lu Bu nodded when he heard this, and asked the man to bring it for himself. He immediately opened the report, and Lu Bu, who thought that he would receive the battle report that Xuzhou City was unharmed, only read two columns, and the whole person was stunned!

"The lord and the princess have just received the Xuzhou emergency report, and Zhao Yun has now taken Xuzhou City. General Cheng Lian wanted to recapture Xuzhou, but he was ambushed and died in the city of Xuzhou. Now the city of Xuzhou is owned by Cao Cao, even if it is forcefully attacked, it is useless. Please also ask the lord to make plans in advance, return to Xiapi quickly, and resist Cao Cao. ”

Lu Bu read the war report, and slapped the table case when he boarded, and his strength was so great that he even broke the good table case in two. The herald who had just come in was so frightened that he didn't even dare to come out. I only heard Lu Bu shouting loudly: "Good Zhao Zilong, take my city and kill my general!" The next time General Ben sees him, he will definitely share with him! ”

Lu Bu was furious in the tent alone, and his temper was full of incense, and the heralds below only felt that they were not leaving, nor were they leaving, for fear that Lu Bu would be angry and angry with himself, and he would be unlucky today. Fortunately, Lu Bu finally lost his temper, and then said to the soldier: "Go, pass the order, and tomorrow the whole army will advance in the direction of Xiapi at full speed." ”

"Whew... Whoop. The soldier hurriedly agreed, and then ran out of the tent again. Leaving Lu Bu alone in the tent, Lu Bu sighed, smiled bitterly, and whispered: "Good Cao Mengde, good Zhao Zilong, this time, count the two of you as powerful!" ”

Lu Bu lamented in the big tent, and Cao Cao's camp was full of joy. Zhao Yun's battle report has now been sent to Cao Cao's case, Cao Cao read it while laughing to everyone: "Minister Zhao Yun is here, since Yun garrisoned Xuzhou City, fortunately Chen father and son helped each other, and dedicated to the former ......" Zhao Yun's military report, how Chen Deng's father and son used tactics to earn Hou Cheng and Song Xian, two generals, how to make themselves almost bloodless to take Xuzhou City, the writing is clear, no matter how big or small, but for how he defeated Hou and Song, one stroke. There is only one sentence "the ministers captured Hou Cheng and Song Xian was under the city".

“…… Then Xuzhou City was obtained. The vanguard of Ranbu became incorruptible, and the march was extremely fast, compared to the city, and the sergeant of Xuzhou City had not yet been appeased, and the people of the family were panicked. Yuan Long was a plan, relying on the pit dug by Hou Cheng and the arrows prepared by Song Xian, to ambush the soldiers and horses...... "Zhao Yun also arranged an ambush for Chen Deng, how to lure Cheng Lian to attack with a virtual and real plan, how Cheng Lian fell into the pit, 10,000 soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses, and how Xuzhou City was preserved, it is written clearly.

It was not until the end that Zhao Yun wrote: "Now Chenglian died in battle, Hou Cheng and Song Xian both surrendered, and Xuzhou has been decided." The people in the city are stable, the soldiers return to their hearts, and it is difficult to take it again even if Lu Fengxian's soldiers press the territory. Yun is fortunate to have this merit, all thanks to the strength of Yuanlong's father and son, and he also asks the lord to reward him for his efforts to comfort Chen's father and son, and to ...... the heart of the Xuzhou family."

Cao Cao thought about it, and laughed even more: "I can't imagine that Zilong and Yuanlong can take Xuzhou City so easily!" In this way, why should Lu Bu be afraid? ”

Liu Bei on the side also smiled and said: "Congratulations to Gong Cao, there is a general like this." Chen Yuanlong of Xuzhou is known to be virtuous, and he also asked Cao Gong to follow the meaning of General Zhao and reward loyal and upright people. ”

"Haha, what Xuande said, how can I not know? In the past few days, thanks to Yun Chang being here, and also the lives of Xuande's subordinates, Lu Bujun's several sneak attacks have been in vain, and I will never forget this kind of credit. Cao Cao looked at Liu Bei and said with a smile, "Wouldn't it be good for Lu Bu to be pacified, and I will set the Son of Heaven and make Xuande an official in the court?" ”

When Liu Bei heard this, he smiled faintly and said, "So, thank you Cao Gong." ”

Cao Cao listened to Liu Bei's promise, and his heart was even happier. Then he turned around and looked at Guo Jiadao beside him: "Fengxiao, now Zilong has made a contribution and won Xuzhou." What do you think Lu Bu will do next? ”

"Now that Xuzhou has been lost, according to the wisdom of Chen Gong, Lu Bu will not be allowed to recapture Xuzhou. Otherwise, the enemy will be attacked on the back and the defeat will be just around the corner. That Lu Bu had already moved his family to Xiapi, and in Yijia's opinion, Lu Bu would abandon Xuzhou and go down to Xiapi, and stick to the city. Or ask for help in Huainan or Jiangdong, I don't know. ”

Dong Zhao on the side spoke at this time: "Why don't we divide the troops immediately and take down Pi all the way?" Otherwise, once Lu Bu's soldiers and horses enter Xiapi, if they want to attack again, they are afraid that they will suffer heavy casualties. ”

Xun You shook his head and said: "There are Hao Meng and 30,000 soldiers and horses in Xiapi to defend it, and it is not easy to capture it now." Moreover, after Lu Bu only led 30,000 horses and broke off, the Chinese army was only afraid that it was already on the way to Xiapi at this time. I'm going to send troops now, but it's too late. Besides, Lu Bu is brave, we still need to be on guard from time to time, if there are few soldiers, I am afraid that we will be attacked by Lu Bu and Chen Gong. If the army is sent out in unison, even if it rushes to the outside of Xiapi City, it is already the end of the crossbow, and there is a worry of overturning. ”

Dong Zhao nodded when he heard this: "What Gongda said is also reasonable. Anyway, it is impossible to prevent Lu Bu's army from returning to Xiapi, so the lord might as well go slowly, accumulate military strength, and wait until the soldiers come to Xiapi, and then think of the way to break the city. When Cao Cao heard the words, he immediately ordered the whole army to rest tonight. Sure enough, early the next morning, the scouts came to report that Lu Bujun had now left the camp and went straight to the direction of Xiapi.

The news of Zhao Yun's great victory did not reach Gao Ye under Langya City until two days later. Langya has now been besieged by Gao Ye for more than ten days, although Gao Ye's men are now not many soldiers and horses, only 30,000, and it is indeed a little insufficient to face Zang Ba who is defending the city. But even so, Gao Ye's daily harassment of Langya City has never stopped, and trebuchets are raging every day, which makes Zang Ba in the city have a hard time.

However, now that he received the battle report from Xuzhou, he specially ordered to suspend the attack for one day. Then he summoned all the generals to come to the big tent to discuss the matter. In today's big tent, in addition to Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, there are only Cao Ang, Xiahou Lan and Xu Shu left. Seeing that everyone had arrived, Gao Ye smiled and said: "Let me tell you a good news, now the lord is in Xuzhou, and he is like a bamboo." I just received the battle report, except for Xiao Pei who was given up by Liu Bei, and now the main soldiers are Ma Liankexiao County and Xuzhou Ercheng. Lu Bu has already moved his troops to Pi, and Li Dian and Le Jin have sent troops to Donghai, Guangling and other places. Lu Bu is already doomed! ”

When everyone heard this, they were all overjoyed. Cao Cao led his troops to the expedition, but in just two months, he has already made such great achievements, how can everyone not be happy? It was only Gao Ye who finished reading the military report, and then frowned and said: "Now that the lord has won the battle, there is still a Zang Ba here in front of us." What are your plans? ”

Zhang Liao on the side spoke first: "This Zang Ba is also quite capable. Besides, we are already short of soldiers. If you want me to see, let's let the trebuchet continue to bombard, and when the Langya city wall collapses, what is Zang Ba afraid of? ”

Xu Shu on the side said in a deep voice: "Having said that, it's just that there will inevitably be a fight at that time." ”

Gao Ye smiled when he heard this, looked at Xu Shu and said, "What kind of plan does Yuan Zhi have?" ”

"General Hui, I recently looked carefully at the military newspaper and was quite puzzled. We wait for the trebuchet to rage every day, and it is difficult for Zang Ba to fight back, but he has always defended Langya and has never sent troops to attack, but why? At first, Shu thought that Zang Ba's move must have some conspiracy, but after observing it for a few days, he didn't feel like it. In this way, it must be that he Zang Ba hesitated at this time, so he refused to fight......"

Gao Ye's brows furrowed when he heard this: "Yuan Zhi's intention is to persuade Zang Ba to surrender?" ”

"Yes, now that Lu Bu has lost Xuzhou, there are Li Dian and General Lejin in the East China Sea, and they are like taking things. In this way, Langya is surrounded by enemies on all sides, and there are no reinforcements, and there are thousands of stones of grain in Langya City, and how many days can he Zang Ba last? What's more, Zang Ba had a dislike with Lu Bu as early as a year ago, and he disobeyed Lu Bu and Chen Gong's orders. Now that catapults are raging, he will be afraid. What's more, this person is not able to fight, I am afraid that he has the intention of surrendering, but because of his identity as a thief in Taishan, and he has a battle with General Zhang Liao before, he has some scruples. Therefore, as long as the general sends a lobbyist, he will be able to persuade Zang Ba to surrender. ”

Gao Ye nodded when he heard this, and his heart was reasonable. Isn't Zang Ba in history also because he had a dislike with Lu Bu, so he refused to help Lu Bu, and later took refuge in Cao Cao? At that time, Zang Ba was not exhausted, but he became the general of the Cao army, and now Zang Ba is really desperate, if someone says it, it is not a big problem to let him surrender. After groaning at this point, Gao Ye immediately raised his head and said, "Yuan Zhi thinks that it is more appropriate for anyone to be a lobbyist?" ”

As soon as Gao Ye's words fell, another person flashed on the side, and then he arched his hand and said: "General Houhou, Cao Ang is willing to be a lobbyist and go to Langya City to say that Zang Ba will be surrendered!" ”

Gao Ye shook his head directly when he heard this: "Hugh is messing around!" The son of a daughter, you can't sit down, as the father-in-law of the lord, how can you be in danger! Zixiu, let's step down. ”
