Chapter 57 Zhang Wenyuan's army was defeated and returned to Cao, and Lu Fengxian committed suicide
However, it is said that Cao Cao returned from the defeat of the four allied forces of Beitao, Liu, Lü and Huang in Xuzhou, and raised troops for more than a year, gradually returning to the past weather. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info suddenly reported that Lu Bu raised troops in the East China Sea and wanted to compete with Huang Shan for Xuzhou. When Cao Cao was drinking with Diao Chan. Diao Chan smelled the word Lu Bu, and suddenly his body trembled, and he was discovered by the fuck. Cao Cao asked, "What's the matter with Aiji?" Diao Chan said: "It's nothing! Cao Cao was displeased and turned to hate Lu Bu. It is necessary to disperse and gather the counsellors to discuss. Cao Cao said: "Since the beginning of the army, Lone has been crisscrossing the north and south, and every battle has been defeated; Only defeated in Xuzhou. Today, the four families in Xuzhou are not of the same mind, and recently heard that Lu Bu took Xuzhou, and the war between Lu and Huang broke out again. This is the time when God gave me to seize Xuzhou. What do you think? Man Zhong said: "Lu Bu has few soldiers, and Huang Shan is powerful." Pet thinks that Huang can destroy Lu, and Lu may not be able to defeat Huang. Does the prime minister want to help Lu and attack Huang? Cao Cao shook his head and was silent. Guo Jia said: "Jia thinks that Lu Huang is fighting, and the prime minister can temporarily hold his troops still." Wait for the two to decide the winner. Lu Sheng will hit Huang, and Huang Sheng will cut Lu. Cao Cao said: "The words of filial piety are also reasonable. Let's wait a few more days. More than a month later, the Malay newspaper reported: Lu Bu was defeated, the whole army was wiped out, and his whereabouts are still unknown. When Cao Cao heard the news, he applauded and laughed, and reported the news to Diao Chan. Diao Chan was helpless, so he had to pretend to laugh. When Cao Cao saw Diao Chan Le, he came out and summoned Guo Jia and others to discuss the matter. Cao said: "Lu Bu has been defeated, can you use soldiers?" Jia said: "I don't know where the prime minister wants to take it first?" Cao said: "Take Peicheng!" Jia said: "Why take Peicheng? Cao said: "Peicheng is the gateway to Xuzhou and the garrison of Lu Bujun. Lu Bu was newly defeated, and the army had no fighting spirit, and it was easy to win ears. If you get Peicheng, you can spy on Xuzhou. Jia and others admired it deeply, and Qi praised and said: "The prime minister is really high-minded!" "Go to the palace, show the saints, and crusade against Lu Bu. The young emperor of Luoyang allowed it. Cao Nai commanded 70,000 troops, and took Dian Wei, Xu Huang, Yu Ban, Lu Qian and others to Peicheng. Passing through the county, I saw a biao soldiers and horses coming. The generals at the head are Li Dian and Li Tong. The two saw Cao Cao roll the saddle and dismount, and bowed to the ground. Cao Cao asked, "Why did the second general come here?" Li Dian said: "When I heard that the prime minister was marching to Xuzhou, I specially led the soldiers and horses of the headquarters to help the prime minister." Cao Cao was overjoyed, but he was in the same place with the two soldiers and horses, and went to Xiaopei together.
The general of Xiao Pei is Zhang Liao, the general of Lu Bu. After defeating Liu Bei, he was ordered by Lu Bu to stick to Peijun. When he heard that Cao Cao was coming with a large army, he hurriedly discussed with the deputy general Song Xian. Song Xian said: "Cao Cao is coming, Pei Gucheng is difficult to beat, you can go to Wenhou for help." Zhang Liao said: "Wenhou is newly defeated, and the soldiers, horses, grain and grass are all lost, how can I help?" In addition, the four families resisted Cao on the day before they won. Now Tao Qian died, Liu Bei left, and Wen Hou had a bad relationship with Huang Shan the day before yesterday; This is a strong reinforcement! Song Xian said: "If this is the case, I am willing to fight to the death to repay Wenhou." Zhang Liao did the same, while repairing the book in the East China Sea and telling Lu Bu, while rectifying the military horses. This is that Lu Bu has fled back to the East China Sea to gather the remnants of the army, and wants to do great things again. The next day, Lü Bu ordered Kuaima to bring a message, and Donghai was powerless to help, so Zhang Liao acted on his own introspection. Zhang Liao got the report, and led the troops and horses out of Peicheng with Song Xian to the enemy Cao Cao's army. The two armies met at Queweipo, and Cao Cao came out and said: "Zhang Wenyuan, don't come to harm?" Zhang Liao said: "What happened to Prime Minister Cao Cheng and Peicheng?" Cao Cao said: "I came to capture the general!" "Ordered Lu Qian to fight. Lu Qian stepped out with a gun. Zhang Liao saw that Lu Qian was menacing, so he patted the horse to fight Lu Qian in person. The two horses intersected, and after about thirty rounds, Lu Qian was defeated. Zhang Liao chased after him. On Cao Cao's array, Xu Huang came out with an axe, caught Zhang Liao, and fought for a hundred rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. When Cao Cao saw it, he was secretly surprised. After another fifty rounds of fighting, the outcome was uncertain. Cao Cao was afraid that the two of them would lose, so he ordered Mingjin and shouted: "Two, don't rest!" Xu Huangnai put away the big axe and turned his horse back to the battle. Zhang Liao also did not love war, and temporarily retreated from the army. When Cao Cao returned to the camp, Guo Jia said: "Zhang Liao is loyal and righteous, and he is good at martial arts. Guo Jia said: "The former prime minister has an appointment with Zhang Liao, and if he can be captured again, he will surrender." Jia has a plan to help the prime minister capture Zhang Liao. Cao Cao asked urgently: "What is the plan?" Guo Jia said: "In the south of the magpie tail slope, the grass and trees are very wide, and the soldiers can be ambushed. Zhang Liao can be lured here and ambushed on all sides to capture him. "Cao Caoran, it is called to Ban, Lu Qian, Li Dian, and Li Tong. Ordered the four of them to go to the south of Queweipo to ambush first. and called Xu Huang to command, so and so. The next day, Cao Cao took Xu Huang and Dian Wei to Zhang Liao to fight. After a while, Zhang Liao left the camp. Xu Huang came out of the horse and specially invited Zhang Liao to come out. Liao Nai danced the knife and fought Xu Huang. In less than ten rounds, Xu Huang was defeated, and Dian Wei came out again. Only fought for seven or eight rounds, and Dian Wei also left. Zhang Liao drove his troops to cover up and kill. Cao's army was defeated and ran away. Zhang Liao hurried to the south of Quewei Slope, and suddenly saw Cao Jun returning to his horse, Cao Cao held his sword and shouted: "There is no way forward, if the generals do not fight to the death, they will not survive!" So Cao's army went up and down, all of them fought hard to kill the enemy. During the battle, only a cannon was heard, and the Cao army arrived on all sides. surrounded Zhang Liao in the heart, but it was like an iron bucket. From noon to sunset, Zhang Liao still couldn't come out.
Cao Cao led several horses to climb the heights and looked, only to see that Liao was in the heart of the valley and was still fighting hard. Ordered the sergeants to take charge of the rope and move forward together to capture Zhang Liaotao from his horse. The sergeants left and right of Liao, seeing that Liao was captured, turned against him and were bound. Sergeant Xu Yu bound Zhang Liao to see him. Cao Cao reprimanded the sergeant, personally untied him, and said: "Wen Yuan is not strange, if it is not so, he can't talk to the general." Zhang Liao said: "The general of the defeated army, but beg to die!" Cao Cao said: "The defeat of the general is not enough to hate the soldiers, not the general's fault." He also held Zhang Liao's hand and said: "Wen Yuan can remember, is the appointment of the day?" Zhang Liao said: "Don't dare to forget!" Cao Cao was overjoyed and said, "How?" Zhang Liao knelt on the ground: "The prime minister will not give up, and Liao'an will dare not surrender!" Cao Cao was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Zhang Liao up and untied his robe. Suddenly, I heard the sound of killing in the southwest. Cao Cao urgently ordered left and right to find out what was going on. Left and right came to report, Song Xian, the general of the cloth army, heard that Zhang Liao was besieged, so he led the army to rescue him, and he was fighting with Li Dian and Li Tong. Zhang Liao said: "Song Xian and I are brothers. I am willing to recruit him for the prime minister. Cao Cao Xu Zhi. Zhang Liao then mounted his horse and went southwest. After a short time, Song Xian and others were brought to Cao Cao. Cao Cao ordered Zhang Liao and Song Xian to be the forerunners and seize the land of Pei County.
There has long been a rumor of the war reported to Zhao Dashun in Pengcheng. Dashun discussed with Chen and others: "When Cao Cao goes to Peicheng, he will want to spy on Xuzhou." Now that the lord is in Xiapi, if Cao Cao comes to offend, what should he do? At this time, Tianhua was pacifying the people in Xiapi. Chen Deng said: "I should personally report this matter to the next Pi. The public must guard the city. "Say goodbye to Dashun and go down. Chen Deng saw Tianhua and reported that Cao Cao had entered Kou Pei City. Tianhua said: "Cao Cao is here, and he will take Xuzhou." However, Lu Bu was not destroyed, and his abdomen and back were also affected by the enemy. Chen Deng said: "In the opinion of foolishness, it is imperative to get rid of Lu Bu as soon as possible, and then to control Cao Cao." Tianhua asked, "What should I do?" Deng said: "Lu Bu is weak and lives in the East China Sea. His soldiers and horses are good, and they are completely lost. The lord can quickly send divine soldiers and attack the East China Sea, then Lu Bu can be destroyed. Tianhua said: "If Cao Cao attacks Xuzhou and cuts off my way back, what should I do?" Chen Deng said: "In the city of Xuzhou, Zhao Dashun is quite talented, although the retreat is insufficient, but it is enough to defend the city. Just wait for the lord to defeat Lu Bu and return to the army. Tianhua was overjoyed, and sent Chen Deng back to Pengcheng to help Zhao Dashun defend the city. He also called Tai Shici and Yan Liangzhi, and ordered the two of them to each point 3,000 elite soldiers to go to the East China Sea to capture and kill Lu Bu. After the troops were completed, the three armies were immediately dispatched.
However, he said that after Lu Bu was defeated that day, he fled to the East China Sea alone, and none of the soldiers and horses he brought could return, and he folded Cao Xing and Chen Gong's two generals, and was annoyed. Not long after, the Malay report reported that Gao Shun's surprise attack on Pengcheng failed, and he was captured, and his father-in-law Cao Bao had been beheaded. Lu Bu was even more sad. After a good promise, Cheng Lian was defeated, and all the grain and grass were taken away by Huang Shan. When Lu Bu heard this, he became angry and ordered Cheng Lian to be beheaded, so as to correct the army's heart. Fortunately, he was persuaded by Hou Cheng and others to avoid death. Lu Bu ordered him to be punished with a hundred rods. beat Cheng Lian until his skin was open. Cheng Lian held a grudge because of this. Hou Cheng was also sullen because of this. After Lü Bu arrived in the East China Sea, he gathered 8,000 people to join the army, forcibly recruited 5,000 new soldiers, and moved the army to Lanling. When he heard that Tianhua raised troops to attack, the army had already passed through Donghai County to govern Tancheng. Lu Bu was taken aback, and hurriedly gathered troops and horses to meet the enemy. The two armies will meet south of Lanling. Lu Bu went out and went straight to Tianhua. On the edge of Tianhua, Yan Liang went out to catch the fight. After more than ten rounds of fighting, Tianhua and Tai Shici rode their horses to the front, one sacrificing the fire dragon dart and the other taking the halberd in their hands, all wanting to sneak attack Lu Bu. On the Lu Bu battlefield, Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng saw it, fearing that Lu Bu would lose, so they hurriedly commanded the army to rush over. The two armies fought, and the Bu army was defeated and left. Lü Bu led the defeated army back to Lanling, losing more than half of his soldiers and horses. Lu Bu summoned Cheng Lian and Hou Cheng to come, and shouted: "I am about to behead Yan Liang to boost the prestige of the army." Why did you two make your own decisions, and you were defeated? Cheng Lian said: "Huang Shan and Tai Shici wanted to sneak attack Wenhou in the back. I was afraid that Wen Hou would be victimized by him, so I rushed up. Lu Bu said angrily: "I regard the princes of the world as nothing, so why not be afraid of him Huang Shan and Tai Shici." Are you two enemies? Cheng and Hou Er knelt on the ground in a panic and said, "Don't dare!" Lu Bu retreated from the two. The next day, Huang Shan's army came to fight again. Lu Bu wanted to welcome him again. Hou Cheng admonished: "Huang Shan's army is sharp and cannot be matched. Now Cao Cao has arrived in Peicheng and will take Xuzhou. If Wen Hou can defend the city for a few days, Cao Cao will attack Huang Shan. When Huang Shan is in a dilemma, he will go out of the city to fight a decisive battle before he can win. This is a good policy, or it can save Lu Bu for a while, but because of the word Cao Cao, as soon as he entered Lu Bu's ears, Bu was angry again, saying: "Cao Cao took my Peicheng, and An Neng was with him." So he didn't listen to Hou Cheng's plan and resolutely went out of the city for a decisive battle. But the three of them were killed by Tianhua, and they were defeated, almost killed, and retreated to the city, holding on. The Tianhua Order surrounded Lanling and fought every day.
However, it was said that Cao Cao had taken Peicheng, and found out that Huang Shanzheng was conquering Lü Bu in the East China Sea, so he hurriedly raised a large army to attack Xuzhou. When the soldiers arrived at the city of Xuzhou, Zhao Dashun closed the city gate and refused to fight. Cao Cao attacked the city. The city of Pengcheng is high and thick, and Dashun struggles to defend the city. Cao Cao was difficult to overcome for a while. Chen Deng hurriedly sent to Tianhua to report to the emergency.
Tianhua besieged Lanling. Suddenly, Cao Cao Guo forcibly conquered Xuzhou. He ordered the messenger to return first, and then blocked the message. Yan Liang and Tai Shici said: "Cao Cao drove the army to Pengcheng, if he can't break Lu Bu again, I'm afraid that Xuzhou will be lost." The two generals went out, supervised the soldiers and horses, and arranged the war. Lu Bu lost in a row and refused to fight. Yu Lanling drinks alcohol every day, regardless of the military. Lu Bu's soldiers, seeing that the general trend had gone, all retreated. In the barracks, there were occasional sergeants who exchanged heads and said: "Wenhou will be defeated, Yunyun." "Lu Bu knew about it, ordered the whole battalion to investigate thoroughly, and beheaded the liar. For a time, it was found that more than 300 people were killed by Lu Bu. Cheng Lian said to Hou Cheng: "The defeat of Wen Hou has no power to return to heaven. In a few days, the Lanling was broken, and the jade was burned, and we were all resting. Hou Cheng said: "Wen Hou treats me like a mustard, and I want to abandon it for a long time." It's better for you and me to go to Huang Shan together. Cheng Lian said: "Today, I am the enemy of Huang Shan, but I am afraid that Huang Shan will not accept it." Hou Cheng said: "Why don't you enter the Chinese military tent tonight to assassinate Wen Hou and dedicate him with his head." Huang Shan will be happy. Cheng Lian said: "This plan is great! The two of them had made up their minds, and they each went back to camp until it was dark. Unexpectedly, the news leaked and was reported to Lu Bu. Lu Bu was furious, and raised his sword and went straight into the Chenglian camp. I can't help but say, I will cut it with my sword. Cheng Lian was caught off guard and was already cut off an arm. Lu Bu's sword didn't stop, and he stabbed Cheng Lian to death with several swords in a row. Shi Houcheng had already heard about this, and hurriedly brought it left and right. When Lu Bu saw it, he didn't answer, and waved his sword to fight Hou Cheng again. Hou Cheng retreated sharply, ordering the left and right to block Lu Bu. Lu Bu's sword stabbed continuously, and more than ten people were immediately injured. Hou Cheng knew that it was difficult to be good today, so he took a knife and fought Lu Bu. Before he could reach Sanhe, he was also stabbed to death by Lu Bu. Lu Bu ordered the heads of the two to be rotated in front of the village to set an example. Lieutenant General of the Lu Bu battalion, so he went to eight or nine. Three days later, Tianhua drove troops to attack. Lanling's defense was very weak, and it was easily broken by Tianhua. Lu Bu was surrounded in the tent of the Chinese army, and in desperation, he committed suicide by hanging his sword at the age of forty. Tianhua ordered Lu Bu to be buried. Suddenly, I saw that outside the Lanling, there were two heads hanging. Tianhua asked urgently: "Who is this head?" The new soldier said: "This is, General Lu Bu Cheng Lian and Hou Chengye." Because of his intention to rebel, he was corrected by Lu Bu. Tianhua ordered the two to be put down and buried on Lu Bu's side.
Tianhua destroyed Lu Bu and hurriedly collected the army back to Pengcheng. At that time, Zhao Dashun had been dealing with Cao Cao for more than 20 days. Cao Cao was ordering Lü Qian to lead an army to transport soil and fill the trenches. On Pengcheng, Zhao Dashun ordered the army to shoot down 10,000 arrows. Lu Qian's soldiers still marched forward bravely. Suddenly, a sound was heard, and a military horse from the northeast came to kill. The first two are Tai Shici and Yan Liang. Lu Qian was defeated and left. Tai Shi Ci was about to catch up, but Tianhua stopped the two of them in a hurry, and said: "Cao Cao's army is not far away, and it must be guarded against its plots." Nai Yi Lu Qian, there is no big problem to give up. Enter the city first and make a final decision with the Dashun round. "Taishi is merciful. When Fang wanted to collect the army, it happened that Cao Cao brought troops to rescue. Tianhua hurriedly drove troops to meet the battle. The two got into a scuffle. The guards in the city saw it and reported it to Zhao Dashun. Da Shun said to Cao Hong and others: "The lord's army has returned, why don't I go out of the city to fight." Cao Hong also has this intention. Then he ordered the city gate to be opened, and Dashun and Cao Hong each led an army to rush out and attack Cao Cao's right flank. Cao Cao saw that there were soldiers in the city, and hurriedly divided Xu Huang and Yu Ban's army to resist. Da Shun and Cao Hong are very fierce. Xu Huang and others rushed to the battle, and it will be difficult to resist and leave in defeat. Dashun and others from the right flank, killed the Chinese army, joined the Tianhua army, and retreated Cao Cao, and won all the merits. Cao Cao had no choice but to collect his army and retreat to Peicheng first.
Tianhua and others collected troops into the city, and someone from the left and right came to report, saying that Gao Shun was captured the day before yesterday and was seriously ill in prison. Tianhua looked at him in prison, and if he really contracted the disease, he ordered the sergeant to send Gao Shun to the Linzi Medical Center. Gao Shun went to the medical hall, was treated by Hua Tuo, and recovered in a few days. Gao Shun felt the grace of the divine doctor, and surrendered to the Qingzhou army. At that time, Xiahou was in Linzi City. Hearing that the enemy is coming, he hurriedly holds the sword to seek revenge. Cao Xing said: "You are a guest on the day of the bag, and you can't take revenge; Today, he has fallen into a prisoner, and he can take revenge? "Speak and take the sword and want to stab. Cao Xing said: "Xiao will gallop on the battlefield, and An can keep his whole body!" At that time, you were Cao Chen, I was Lu Jiang, and each was its master! Xiahoudun said: "Now I am an official of Linzi, and you are a prisoner of Qingzhou; It is also its master. "Raise your sword and cut it. At this time, Cheng Yu, Xu Chu, Gao Shun and others learned of this and hurriedly came to persuade Xiahoudun to stop. Gao Shunli persuaded Cao to surrender. Cheng Yu told Cao Xing the news of Lu Bu's defeat again. Cao Xing learned that Lu Bu was dead, and was forced by Xiahou Dun, and An Neng did not surrender.
