The defeat of Lu Bu
The rebel army of Taishan County, under the leadership of the leader Zang Ba, raided Ju County, Langya, defeated Xiao Jian, the minister of Langya, and obtained a large amount of baggage. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info Zang Ba sent someone to inform Lu Bu, saying that he was willing to give these things to Lu Bu, but let Lu Bu take them himself. Lu Bu did not listen to the advice of the general Gao Shun and went to Ju County to prepare to receive it. Who knew that when he arrived outside Juxian County, Zang Ba closed the door and stubbornly guarded, so that Lu Bubai ran away and returned without success.
Gao Shun is innocent and majestic, and he is silent. There are more than 700 soldiers under his command, and the orders are neat, and every battle must be defeated, and they are called "trapping Chen Ying", but because of frequent advice, they are not liked by Lu Bu. Later, Lu Bu actually transferred this 'trapped Chen Ying' from Gao Shun's name to his close confidant Wei Xu's name. In this regard, Gao Shun finally had no hatred and continued to be loyal to Lu Bu.
In the summer, King Yilang came to Jiangdong and brought an edict from the imperial court, appointing Sun Ce as the commander of the cavalry and the Taishou of Huiji, and inherited his father's title of Marquis of Wucheng. Sun Ce also proposed that he wanted to be awarded the title of a general to respect himself, and Wang Xiao named Sun Ce as a general of the Ming and Han dynasties in the name of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty on the spot. Of course, after receiving so many official titles, Sun Ce also had to fulfill his obligations, that is, together with Lu Bu and Chen Yu, the Taishou of Wujun, to crusade against Yuan Shu, who dared to claim the emperor without authorization, for the imperial court.
So Sun Ce led his troops to Qiantang County, Wu County. But at this time, Chen Yu, who was supposed to be an ally, was ready to have a nest fight first, secretly contacting Zu Lang, Yan Baihu and others, and preparing to kill Sun Ce. Unfortunately, the conspiracy was leaked, and Sun Ce made the first move, sending Lu Fan and Xu Yi to lead troops to attack Chen Yu in Haixi County, Guangling County. Chen Yu was defeated and rode to Yuan Shao alone.
The great-grandson of Emperor Ming of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chong, the king of Chen, was brave and good at shooting, and Luo Jun, the prime minister of Chen Guoguo, was known as Wei'en. When the Yellow Turban Uprising was in place, Liu Chong ruled the army and defended himself, the people did not dare to rebel, and many people from neighboring counties returned to him, with more than 100,000 people. Now Liu Chong once again raised the banner of self-reliance in Yangxia County, claiming to be the general of the Auxiliary Han Dynasty. Yuan Shu asked Chen Guo for grain, but Luo Jun sternly refused. Annoyed and angry, Yuan Shu actually sent assassins to assassinate Chen Chong and Luo Jun, and the Chen State was ruined.
In September, Cao Cao personally conquered Yuan Shu. Yuan Shu abandoned the army and fled, leaving only Qiao Rui, Li Feng, Liang Gang, Le Jie and other generals stationed in Qi County to resist Cao's army. As a result, Cao Cao was defeated, and Qiao Rui and other generals were all killed.
On Cao Cao's way back to the army, a strong man named Xu Chu came to defect. Xu Chu's courage is unparalleled. In the troubled times, thousands of teenagers and clans of the same age gathered, and the walls were fortified to defend against foreign invaders. Famous Huai, Ru, Chen, Liang and other places. Just as Dian Wei was killed by Zhang Xiu, now there is a 'tiger idiot' Xu Chu who is not inferior to Dian Wei, and Cao Cao is overjoyed, "This I Fan Xu" named Xu Chu as a lieutenant on the spot and introduced the guard. The young men and chivalrous men who came with Xu Chu were all organized into tiger warriors.
Yang Biao, the former lieutenant, was framed by Cao Cao for wanting to abolish the establishment because he had a marriage relationship with Yuan Shu (Yang Biao's son Yang Xiu was Yuan Shu's nephew), and was imprisoned for the crime of great rebellion. After Kong Rong knew about this, he didn't even have time to wear court clothes, so he ran to see Cao Cao, "Yang Gong IV Qingde, pay homage to the sea." And the crimes of father and son and brother are not related, how can the crimes of the Yuan family be imposed on the Yang family" Cao Cao ordered Manzhong to try Yang Biao's case, and Kong Rong went to see Manzhong with Xun Yu and warned him not to torture Yang Biao. But Manzhong didn't listen, and still interrogated Yang Biao, of course Yang Biao would rather die than recruit. Full of favor came to see Cao Cao and said, "Yang Biao was tortured, but he didn't confess. This person is well-known in the sea, and if he is convicted trumped-up, he will be greatly discredited" Cao Cao immediately woke up and ordered Yang Biao to be pardoned and released from prison. After this prison disaster, Yang Biao has clearly seen the phenomenon of 'the decline of the Han dynasty and the government in the Cao family', so in the name of foot disease, he stayed away from the court and struggled, and finally avoided the disaster. In terms of 'knowing advance and retreat', he is definitely much better than his amazing son Yang Xiu. At the same time, Xun Yu and Kong Rong also looked at each other because of this incident and became friends with each other.
In September, three years ago, because he was forced by Yuan Shu, Ma Riyan was sent to Xudu in a coffin that he felt out of control and vomited blood. Because he held the official position of Taifu above the three princes during his lifetime, the imperial court was ready to mourn him with the gift of Taifu. Kong Rong opposes "the respect of the prince, the envoy of the festival, but the flattery of the traitorous minister." It is not appropriate to add gifts" In the end, Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty agreed with Kong Rong's opinion.
Compared with Ma Riyan, when the coffin of Jin Shang, who had been killed eight months earlier for refusing Yuan Shu to be called emperor, was sent to Xudu, Liu Xie ordered hundreds of officials to go to pay tribute, and named Jin Shang's son Jin Wei as Langzhong.
This year, there was a great hunger in Huainan. In order to solve the famine of the army, Han Xian and Yang Feng plundered between Xu and Yang. In November, they came to see Lü Bu again and said that they were leaving Xuzhou for Jingzhou. But Lu Bu was not allowed. Yang Feng proposed to unite with Liu Bei and kill Lu Bu. Liu Bei pretended to make a promise and specially invited Yang Fenglai to discuss the matter with Xiaopei. Then set up an ambush during the banquet and kill Yang Feng. After Yang Feng's death, Han Xian was isolated and helpless, and led more than ten horsemen to flee to the annexed state, and was killed by Shuqiu Ling Zhang Xuan. In addition, at that time, Han and Yang returned to the east with the emperor, as well as Hu Cai and Li Le. However, due to discord with Han and Yang, they did not escort Liu Xie all the way to Luoyang, but stayed in Hedong County. In the end, Hu Cai was killed by the enemy and Li Le died of illness. The two culprits who provoked the Chang'an Rebellion, Dong Zhuo's general: Guo Yan was killed by his subordinate Wu Xi. Only Li Dao was left alone in Guanzhong to prolong his life for the last half a year...
After the defeat of Cao Cao, the counties of Nanyang County fell into the hands of Zhang Xiu again. Cao Cao once ordered Cao Hong to go to the conquest, but he was defeated by Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao several times. Cao Hong was stationed in Ye County, in a dilemma. In November, Cao Cao had to go into battle in person and personally conquer Zhang Xiu. In the first battle, Huyang County was captured, and Liu Biao's subordinate general Deng Ji was captured. The second battle captured Wuyin County.
In January 198, Cao Cao returned to Xu County. In March, Cao Cao did not listen to Xun You's suggestion that Zhang Xiu and Liu Biao should rescue each other in a hurry and attack each other if they were slow, and personally recruited Zhang Xiu for the third time. Surrounded the city where Zhang Xiu was located.
In April, Pei Mao, the servant of the court, led Duan Xuan and other generals in Guanzhong to crusade against Li Dao, and the three clans of Li Dao were all killed. After his meritorious service, Duan Xuan was named General of Annan and Marquis of Annam.
Yuan Shao repeatedly wrote to Cao Cao, saying that Xu County was wet and Luoyang was ruined, and suggested moving the capital to his base of Yecheng, but Cao Cao refused. Tian Feng suggested that Yuan Shao take advantage of Cao Cao's southern expedition to Zhang Xiu to attack Xu Du by force and welcome the Son of Heaven. But Yuan Shao did not adopt it.
Even so, when Cao Cao heard from Yuan Shao's dead man that Tian Feng had this suggestion to Yuan Shao, he still didn't dare to slack off. Hurriedly gave up the siege of Qicheng and returned to Xu County. Zhang Xiu pursued behind. In May, Liu Biao's troops also arrived in Anzhong County, preparing to flank Zhang Xiu and eliminate Cao Cao. But in this desperate situation, Cao Cao saw an opportunity to win. He wrote to Xun Yu, "Anzhong County will be the place where I will break Zhang Xiu"
When Cao's army withdrew to Anzhong County, faced with the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy in front and behind, Cao Cao ordered to dig the danger at night and make a false escape. secretly ambushed the elite soldiers, and only waited for Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu's army to enter the ambush circle, and then broke the enemy army.
In this battle, the ghost talent military master Jia Xu once again showed his superior vision. When Zhang Xiu wanted to pursue Cao Cao, Jia Xu strongly objected, "No." Chasing it will be defeated" Zhang Xiu didn't listen, and was defeated by Cao Cao's ambush. At this time, Jia Xu suddenly said to Zhang Xiu again, "Chase it!" Zhang Xiu had already lost confidence, and it was only under Jia Xu's repeated requests that he gathered the defeated troops in disbelief and pursued them again, and this time he really won a big victory. If it weren't for a man named Li Tong who led his army to defect to Cao Cao at this time and withstood Zhang Xiu's pursuit, it would have been difficult for Cao Cao to safely withdraw to Xu Du. After returning to the city, Zhang Xiu immediately summoned Jia Xu: "I will chase Cao Cao's retreat with elite soldiers, and you say that I will be defeated; I went after Cao Cao's victorious army with a defeated army, and you said that I would win. And it turned out to be exactly what you expected. How did you expect that," Jia Xu said, "It's not difficult. Although the general made good use of soldiers, he was still slightly inferior to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was in such a hurry to withdraw his troops, it must have been because something happened to him in the rear. But in order to prevent our army from pursuing, Cao Cao will definitely break off with elite soldiers. Then our army will be defeated. But once Cao Cao wins, he is in a hurry to rush back, and he will not be prepared for a second pursuit by our army. In this way, our army will win," Zhang Xiu admired.
In July, Cao Cao returned to Xudu. Xun Yulai asked Cao Cao, "Two months ago, you concluded that you could break Zhang Xiu in Anzhong, on what basis did you conclude that" Cao Cao Dao "Our army has been put to death, and it will naturally fight to the death." I have set up an ambush again, and there is no reason why I will not be victorious."
In July, Lü Bu communicated with Yuan Shu again, and sent two generals, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, to attack Liu Bei. After Cao Cao received Liu Bei's request for help, he sent Xiahoudun to lead his troops to the rescue, but was defeated by Gao Shun (in this battle, Xiahoudun's left eye was shot by a stray arrow, and Xiahoudun pulled out the arrow, which is a famous scene in history) In September, Gao Shun broke Xiaopei, Liu Bei fled alone, and Jiaxiao fell into the hands of Lu Bu again. Then, Zang Ba, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li, Chang Feng and other rebels of Taishan County joined Lu Bu one after another, and Lu Bu's strength increased greatly.
When the news reached Xudu, Cao Cao adopted Xun You's advice and prepared to personally conquer Lü Bu. At this time, Liu Bei had fled to Liangdi. Smoothly rendezvous with Cao Cao, who came to conquer in person, and killed Peng Chengguo together.
In October, Cao Cao captured Pengchengguo, captured the prime minister of the country, and ordered the slaughter of the city. Subsequently, with the county soldiers led by Chen Deng, the Taishou of Guangling, as the pioneer, Cao Cao's army went all the way to the Xiapi country where Lu Bu was located. Lu Bu attacked repeatedly, but they were all defeated, and the general Cheng Lian was captured. From then on, Lu Bu retreated to the city and did not dare to come out again.
After besieging Xiapi City, Cao Cao resorted to a plan and wrote a letter to persuade Lü Bu to surrender. Lu Bu originally wanted to surrender, but was opposed by Chen Gong, "Cao Cao is far away, and he can't last long." The general can go out of the cantonment, and I will guard the city inside. Save each other. In less than ten months, when Cao Jun's grain and grass are eaten up, he will retreat. When we attack again, we will definitely win a big victory" Lu Bu also felt that this plan was feasible, and decided on the spot that Chen Gong and Gao Shun would defend the city, and he would take the elite soldiers out of the city to cut off the grain route of Cao's army.
But after this matter was known to Lu Bu's wife, Yan, she immediately expressed her opposition, "Chen Gong and Gao Shun have always been at odds. When you go out of the city, you will not be able to defend it with one heart. What if something goes wrong? And Chen Gong was once reused by Cao Cao, and he betrayed Cao Cao and voted for the general. Now you may not be as good to Chen Gong as Cao Cao was to him back then, but now you want to entrust the concubine and other family members and the people of the whole city to him, but you are alone and far away, are you not afraid of change?"
Lu Bu listened to his beloved wife's words, so he decided to defend the city and not get out. At the same time, he ordered his subordinate officials Xu Yan and Wang Kai to go out of the city to ask Yuan Shu for help. Yuan Shu said, "Lu Bu does not marry his daughter to my son, and he has also defeated our army. Do you want me to save him now?" Xu Yan and Wang Kai hurriedly replied, "That was all mistaken by the Chen father and son." Now the king and Lu Bu are dependent on each other. If Lu Bu is broken by Cao Cao, the king will inevitably be "Yuan Shu said" In this case, ask Lu Bu to send his daughter, and I should send troops to save him"
Lu Bu was also helpless after hearing the return of the two. In the middle of the night, he wrapped his daughter's body in cotton, tied it to a horse, and went out of the city himself. But he was shot back by Cao Bing with random arrows.
Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang and Lü Bu have always had a good relationship, and Lü Bu has defected to Zhang Yang several times. Now that he heard that Lu Bu was besieged by Cao Cao in Xiapi City, Zhang Yang wanted to save him, but he was powerless. can only send troops to Dongshi to support from afar. But I don't want to cause internal changes because of this. In November, Zhang Yang's subordinate Yang Chou killed Zhang Yang and tried to defect to Cao Cao, but was immediately killed by another general named Su Gu. Zheng Gu led the rest of Zhang Yang's troops, stationed in Hanoi County, and Yuan Shao in the north. It's just that for Lu Bu, naturally he no longer supports it.
At this time, Cao Cao had besieged Xiapi City for more than a month, and he could not attack it for a long time. Xun You and Guo Jia advised them to persuade them and suggested that Cao Cao dig up Yi and Si Ershui to irrigate Picheng.
Under such circumstances, several generals under Lu Bu naturally had some different ideas in their hearts. Anyway, you Lu Bu has followed Ding Yuan, Dong Zhuo, and Wang Yun, known as the three surnamed house slaves. After escaping from Chang'an, he defected to Yuan Shu, Zhang Yang, Yuan Shao, and Liu Bei, so it should be understandable for us to change the court once, right?
There was a subordinate general named Hou Cheng who first lost several famous horses, and then fortunately got them back. The generals came to congratulate them with wine and meat. Hou Cheng also offered these wine and meat to Lu Bu. Who knew that it caused Lu Bu to be furious: "Don't you know that I have issued a ban on alcohol? Push me out and behead it" Finally, under the plea of the generals, he was exempted from the death penalty and changed to a rod. For this reason, Hou Cheng certainly holds a grudge.
On December 24, Hou Cheng, Song Xian, Wei Xu and other generals led the crowd to rebel in the city, tied up Chen Gong and Gao Shun, and opened the city to surrender. When Lu Bu heard the change, he hurriedly led the crowd to climb the White Gate Tower, only to see that the downstairs was full of Cao Jun, and the desperate Lu Bu said to the left and right, "You take my head to see Cao Cao, and invite the merit to receive the reward" Left and right could not bear it, and persuaded Lu Bu to go downstairs and surrender.
Lü Bu had no choice but to surrender, and he was escorted to see Cao Cao. As soon as he saw Cao Cao, Lu Bu said, "Now I am convinced." Later, Lu Bu led the cavalry, and Ming Gong led the infantry. Lu Bu is willing to help Ming determine the world fairly" and said to Liu Bei: "Xuande Gong, do you remember the matter of shooting the halberd at Yuanmen?" Now you are a guest, and I am a prisoner. I just ask you to intercede for me" Cao Cao turned to Liu Bei and asked, "How is the public opinion" Liu Bei replied, "Do you remember the matter of Ding Yuan and Dong Zhuo?" He is also an ambitious man who wants to take over the world. If it is really as Lu Bu said, the whole world has been pacified by Lu Bu to help Cao Cao, then what are you messing with? )
