After sending away Lü Bu's envoy, Jia Xu offered a plan for Tao Ying to send an envoy to Cao Cao with a letter of commitment stamped by Cao Cao sent by Chen Gong. and promised to attack Wenhou Lü Bu together with Cao Cao, and divide Lü Bu's land equally when the time comes.

The envoy saw Cao Cao, Cao Cao was worried about the long-term attack on Kaiyang and was ready to withdraw the army, these with Tao Ying's help, he must be able to break Lu Bu and reduce one of his threats.

The two sides also agreed that after defeating Lü Bu, they would return the Langya State to Tao Ying, and the Lu State, the land of Yanzhou, to Yanzhou. Sending the messenger away, Cao Cao burst out laughing. Therefore, these two people really fell for Guo Jia's plan. Guo Jiaxian planned to break Lu Bu first, and when the time came, he would deceive Tao Ying and others into the city, and find an opportunity to kill Tao Ying.

In November, as the autumn passed a little bit, Tao Ying led the troops to the south of Kaiyang City as promised. After the general horse was stationed in the south of the city, Tao Ying sent a message to Lü Bu, and Lü Bu asked the soldiers to defend the city gate and wait for Chen Gong to use a plan to let Tao Ying and Cao Cao kill each other.

Cao Cao led his troops to attack the city, but Song Xian did not know about Lu Bu's conspiracy, so he opened the city gate and let Cao Cao enter Kaiyang from the west gate. When Lu Bu heard that Cao Cao had entered the city from the West Gate, he was shocked and hurriedly went out to meet Cao Cao.

didn't want Cao Cao to go out, but found that his favorite concubine was gone. Along with the pet concubine, there is also his own Fang Tian painting halberd! The weapon is gone, and the pet Ji is gone, Lu Bu suddenly thought that it must be Hou Cheng and they made the ghost, so the pet Ji was sent by Hou Cheng!

Sure enough, when Lu Bu arrived at the door, Zhang Liao led a team of people and horses towards Lu Bu, shouting as he ran: "The lord is not good, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng are against them!" ”

Hearing that Tao Ying's calculation was indeed fulfilled, when he thought that the hexagram that Tao Ying calculated for himself was a dead word, Lu Bu's face turned blue with fright. Zhang Liao gave up his war horse to Lu Bu, and he rode another horse to lead Lu Bu to the east of the city.

Before he arrived in the east of the city, in the chaotic Kaiyang City, Zhang Liao was meeting Hao Meng. Hao Meng hurriedly came to stop Zhang Liao, Lu Bu was angry, grabbed a gun and stabbed Hao Meng. Hao Meng knew that he was invincible to Lu Bu, so he hurriedly withdrew his troops and left. After Hao Meng left, Lu Bu rushed to pursue behind, no matter how Zhang Liao persuaded him, and in the end Zhang Liao had to follow Lu Bu to kill Hao Meng.

There was chaos in the city, Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, Song Xian and others led soldiers and horses to set fire to kill people everywhere, and the whole Kaiyang became even more chaotic. After Cao Cao entered the city from the east gate, he killed all the way to the city. Lu Bu pursued Hao Meng, and as soon as he reached a street corner, a tripping rope suddenly pulled out of the ground, and Lu Bu's war horse tripped over. Hao Meng and Hou Cheng hurriedly led the troops to kill, Lu Bu discounted the spear in his hand, and there was no weapon, Wei Xu on the city wall shot another arrow in Lu Bu's back, and under the struggle, Wei Xu and Hou Cheng killed Lu Bu again.

When Zhang Liao killed the three of them, he found that Lu Bu had been captured, and hurriedly pursued Wei Xu and led his troops to block Zhang Liao, Hou Cheng and Hao Meng hurriedly tied up Lu Bu and headed towards the east gate of the city. Zhang Liao couldn't kill Wei Xu for a while, and many of his soldiers were unwilling to fight, so there were many defectors. Seeing that the general trend had gone, Zhang Liao suddenly remembered the hexagram that Tao Ying had calculated for himself, so Zhang Liao hurriedly made a false move and killed the south gate.

Zhang Liao wanted to defect to Tao Ying, let Tao Ying lead his troops to besiege Cao Cao, and then rescue his lord Lu Bu! As soon as Zhang Liao arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he happened to meet Chen Gong, who was leading troops from the West Gate. Hearing that Lu Bu's pursuit of Hao Meng had been caught, Chen Gong sighed. I didn't expect Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian to really turn around!

Zhang Liao asked Chen Gong what to do now? Chen Gong asked where Gao Shun was? Zhang Liao replied that Gao Shun was responsible for guarding the south gate, and he must not have known that Hao Meng and others had rebelled at this time! Seeing that the city was full of Cao Jun, Zhang Liao hurriedly went to Gao Shun with Chen Gong. The two had just walked a short distance and ran into Cao Cao's general Le Jin, and Zhang Liao hurriedly led his troops to beat Le Jin.

There are less than 1,000 soldiers and horses behind Zhang Liao, and nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses behind Le Jin! Chen Gong hurriedly led more than 500 people and horses towards the south gate, Zhang Liao and the battle retreated, all the way to the south gate, just arrived at the south gate, Xiahou Yuan led the troops to the south gate, Xu Chu also led the troops to the south gate. Gao Shun hurriedly led the troops to resist the Cao soldiers who suddenly appeared in the city, Xu Chu and Xiahou Yuan joined forces, Gao Shun could not fight, fortunately Chen Gong and Zhang Liao killed. Zhang Liao waved the banner of Lu Bu, and when he saw that Lu Bu was coming, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly retreated.

After Xiahou Yuan went to ask for help, Chen Gong hurriedly shouted to Gao Shun, who knew nothing: "General Gao, open the city gate quickly!" Hao Meng and they reversed, and the institution arrested the lord and voted on Cao Cao. Cao Cao has already entered the city, if you want the lord to still live, you must quickly let Taozhou Mu enter the city at the city gate! ”

Outside the gate, Cao Cao had nearly 40,000 troops, plus Hao Meng, Wei Xu, Song Xian, and Hou Cheng's surrendered troops, and there were less than 2,000 people left in Kaiyang at this time, not to mention that the city had been broken, how to resist Cao Cao?

Therefore, Chen Gong was ordered to open the city gate and put Tao Ying into the city. He and Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others first took refuge in Tao Ying, borrowed Tao Ying's soldiers to save Lu Bu, if they saved Lu Bu, they would have the best of both worlds, if they couldn't save Lu Bu, they could just avenge Lu Bu!

Gao Shun heard that the three gates of the city had been broken, so he hurriedly opened the south gate, the south gate of Kaiyang squeaked open, and Chen Gong rode out of the city and then went straight to Tao Ying's camp.

When the soldiers saw that it was Chen Gong, they hurriedly let Chen Gong enter the camp. After running to Tao Ying's camp, because of the hurry, Chen Gong's shoes fell off. Tao Ying saw Chen Gong's embarrassed face, and hurriedly took off his shoes and put them on Chen Gong himself. Chen Gong knelt down and was moved, and while thanking Tao Ying, he hurriedly pleaded: "Taozhou Mu quickly save my lord, Hao Meng They are really as Taozhou Mu expected, they are the opposite!" My lord Lu Bu has been captured, please Taozhou Mu into the city to rescue my lord, if Cao Cao is too late to open the sun, Taozhou Mu will lose Langya and Lu Guoye! ”

Tao Ying asked the soldiers to bring water and hand it to Chen Gong, and at the same time ordered Jia Xu and Liu Ye to hurry up. After the two military divisions entered the account, Chen Gong told the two of them about the change in Kaiyang, and Jia Xu shook his feather fan and asked, "What do you mean by Gongtai and General Zhang and General Gao?" ”

Chen Gong thought for a while and hurriedly said: "If you save the lord, I will wait to come to Xuzhou." If we can't save the lord, I will wait for the lord to go! ”

Seeing that Chen Gong was so resolute, Tao Ying knew that above history, he was indeed unwilling to surrender to Cao Cao and was killed by Cao Cao. also wanted Gao Shun, but Zhang Liao surrendered. Gao Shun's generation of famous generals has been pressed by Lu Bu, and now if Lu Bu is dead, he can surrender, and his achievements will definitely not be lower than Zhang Liao. But it's a pity that he was a piece of iron and was finally killed by Cao Cao.

Seeing that these two generals were there, Tao Ying hurriedly said to Chen Gong: "Since this is the case, I should save myself!" ”

After Tao Ying finished speaking, he ordered Zhao Yun, the left vanguard, to lead the troops to enter the city from the south gate, and Cao Chun, the right vanguard, to lead the troops to enter the city from the west gate. Tao Ying personally led the soldiers and horses into Kaiyang from the south gate, and ordered Yu Ban to command the army with Jia Xu as the military adviser to lead Li Dian, Lü Qian, Liu Xun and others to be stationed outside the city, and he himself led Zhao Yun, Gan Ning, Cao Chuntai Shici, Hu Che'er and Mi Fang into the city to defend Cao Cao.

Jia Xu also suggested that Jiang Qin should lead the naval army along Wushui to the base camp of the generation of Cao Cao in the west of the city. Jiang Qin led nearly 7,000 sailors to the west of the city, and Cao Cao's army in the west of the city had already attacked Kaiyang from the north gate, and Jiang Qin led his troops along Wushui under Cao Chun's suggestion to force Cao Cao's camp outside the north gate.
