(Thank you for your rewards, Comrade Liu Qiwu said in the comment area yesterday that he couldn't see enough, and he was happy, so there are two more today, and one more at seven o'clock!) "Ah, it must be that hateful Tao family child! ”

Lu Bu rushed over first, and saw that it was Cao Cao's general Xiahoudun who was hit by the arrow, and his heart was overjoyed! Seeing that Lu Bu had returned, a general in leather armor hurriedly slipped down from the tree. That's right, it was he who released the cold arrow just now, and he was Cao Xing, one of the eight strong generals under Lu Bu!

Xiahoudun endured the severe pain and wanted to face Lu Bu, but the entourage next to him persuaded bitterly: "The general is leaving, Lu Bu is brave, the lord is still afraid of him for three points, let's rush to dozens of people, it's better to retreat!" ”

Xiahoudun refused to admit defeat and had to go to fight Lu Bu, but suddenly remembered that he met Heavenly Master Tao Ying in Xuzhou last year. At that time, before the two armies, he insulted Uncle Li Dian, and Tao Ying once said that he was willing to exchange one year of life for one eye, so that he would have no eyes!

The more they thought about it, the more terrifying it became, Tao Ying was simply a devil-like existence in their hearts.

Before the army behind him arrived, seeing Lu Bu, Xiahoudun sighed and hurriedly fled north. Cao Xuan wanted to chase after him, but Lu Bu waved his hand and asked him to hurry back with him.

Cao Cao looked behind him in front of him, but he didn't see Lu Bu's pursuers, and hurriedly turned back to lead the army to charge and kill. But at this time, Lu Bu had already killed the army of Xiahou Dun, who had no main general, and saw that Lu Bu had returned, and the people and horses in front of him surrounded Lu Bu.

Lu Bujun and his horses shouted: "Xiahoudun is dead, if you dare to stop it, you will definitely go to Huangquan!" ”

The wolf knights are in full swing, and following Lu Bu, the flying general, they have long developed invincible self-confidence. Xiahoudun's soldiers and horses were not elite divisions, and when he heard that the main general was killed, coupled with Lu Bu's prestige, he soon gave way to a road.

By the time Cao Cao arrived at the garrison of Xiahoudun's army, Lu Bu had already run away without a trace. Seeing that Lu Bu was gone, Cao Cao gritted his teeth angrily, and Lu Bu ruined his plan again.

It is said that when Lu Bu escaped from Cao Cao's urn, he kept rushing to Changyi, and just arrived halfway when he met Zhao Yun's military horse. Nearly a thousand white horses rushed from the direction of Changyi, and when they saw Lu Bu returning from embarrassment, Zhao Yun hurriedly rushed to see him.

When the two met, Lu Bu on the war horse said, "General Zhao, why don't you follow me?" ”

Lu Bu was still blaming Zhao Yun, Chen Gong was in the city to collect troops, the soldiers hurriedly grabbed the spoils, and the entire Changyi city was in chaos. When Lu Bu first arrived in Pengcheng, most of the soldiers and horses recruited were new soldiers, and the recruits were still not subject to discipline, so in the process of fighting, the scenes of fighting with each other came and went.

Zhao Yun led the troops and wanted to go back to the city after meeting with Li Dian to make plans, but seeing that the commander ran to chase Cao Cao, Li Dian was not at ease, so he persuaded Zhao Yun to lead the cavalry to come to protect, and Li Dian led the troops back to the city to defend.

So Zhao Yun led the troops all the way over, and as soon as he arrived halfway, he found that something was wrong, because there were Cao soldiers everywhere, and these Cao soldiers were extremely combative, not at all like the defeated and retreating Yanzhou soldiers and horses.

Fighting several times along the way, Zhao Yun was brave, but his subordinates were injured, and the other side also knew the name of Zhao Yun and Zhao Butcher, so he was cowardly and withdrew, so Zhao Yun collected Lu Bu's scattered wolf riders all the way to Lu Bu, until he met Lu Bu.

"Marshal, the top of the city tower has already collected the troops, and the soldiers are all looting everywhere, so I can't follow the marshal!"

Zhao Yun got off the horse and pleaded guilty, Lu Bu glared at Zhao Yun angrily, he thought about blaming others everywhere, but he never looked for problems in himself. In Lu Bu's bones, he still underestimated Tao Ying very much, and even every prince underestimated him.

"That's it, hurry up and enter the city before the Cao thief returns to the army!"

After Lu Bu finished speaking, he rode on the red rabbit horse, and led the gathered wolf horses to run towards Changyi City. Zhao Yun could only lead the White Horse Legion back with him.

When Lu Bu returned to the outside of Changyi City, patches of wolf smoke rose in the distance, and with the help of the night, there was a murderous atmosphere. Lu Bu had a sense of foreboding, and sure enough, when he rushed outside the city, there were already corpses outside the city, and Cao Cao's army was surrounding Changyi City in all directions to attack.

Seeing that there were many troops and horses in front of him, Lu Bu did not dare to lead the troops forward, so he could only merge with Zhao Yun and go to Liangqiu City.

It turned out that when Lü Bu and Zhao Yun left, Cao Cao's general Cao Ren led his troops to besiege Lü Bu's soldiers and horses. The soldiers and horses newly recruited by Lu Bu went around to snatch the victories, and as soon as Cao Ren's soldiers and horses came, they were all scattered, so the outside of the city began to crowd, and everyone crowded to Changyi City, and Chen Gong hurriedly closed the city gate.

As soon as the gates were closed, the drawbridge was erected again, the soldiers had nowhere to go, and the outside of the city turned into a one-sided massacre. Seeing that they were weak, Li Dian and Zhang Liao could only lead the troops to Jinxiang in the east, and as soon as the two led the troops away, Gao Shun was outnumbered, and he could only follow the people from the south gate into Changyi City.

For a time, Changyi turned from a victorious battle to a losing battle, the main general Lu Bu was almost captured, and the other generals were scattered, and the only small victory was that Cao Xing shot Xiahoudun blind.

As the days passed, Cao Ren attacked Changyi City for nearly a week, and he still couldn't help Changyi City at all. On the contrary, at this time, Yanzhou was short of food and grass, and the soldiers began to starve. The arrival of autumn has increased the number of people with colds and coughs, and there are not many military doctors in Yanzhou, and there is a shortage of medicinal materials, so many people die every day, and everyone complains that Cao Cao is not coming.

Knowing that the army's spirit was unstable, the strategists advised Cao Cao several times, and Cao Cao had the heart to retreat. But at this time, Cao Cao and Xuzhou soldiers and horses were in a state of confrontation, if Cao Cao retreated, Lü Bu would definitely die, so Cao Cao began to write letters to Xuzhou pottery merchants, and wrote letters to the Han Emperor to mediate between them.

In Taoling Town, the battle reports in front of the front kept coming every day, although it was good news one by one, but it was followed by the constant urging of food, military salaries and various medicinal materials every day, which made Tao Ying a little tired.

With the start of the war in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, Yuan Shu, who was ambitious at this time, was ready to lead his troops north to attack Xuzhou, which was even more of a headache for Tao Ying. Originally, Tao Yingxiu wanted to mediate with Yuan Shu and Liu Xuan, but he didn't want to not only not mediate between the two families, but instead married Yuan Shu.

But now that everything has happened, Tao Ying has become much calmer.

At the end of September, the smell of autumn swept through Taoling Town, the walls of Pengcheng had just been repaired, and the palace was still unfinished. The reason for the failure to complete the project was that Tao Ying temporarily invested all his money in the war against Yanzhou. The construction of Taoling Town also entered the fast track in September, and everything was progressing as Tao Ying expected.

Until one day, the arrival of an uninvited guest broke the tranquility of Taoling Town.

In the quiet courtyard at the foot of the mountain, Tao Ying and Zhang Zhaozai discussed the various problems that had arisen in Pengcheng and the improvement of iron smelting. The morning sun was a little lazy, and the two of them sat down at a stone table in the courtyard, on which lay a codex on which were drawn about smelting machines.

There were nearly twenty people standing next to him, and these were experts from the Smelting Academy. The family outside the door came over and whispered a few words in Tao Ying's ear, and Tao Ying's face changed instantly.

After a while, Tao Ying beckoned, the housekeeper retreated, and after a while, the messenger from Tan County came from outside the door. The messenger was a little arrogant, and when he came in, he did not bow down, and his nostrils were raised high, and he looked like he was on top.

"Pengcheng listened to the order, and the governor ordered you to immediately withdraw your troops from Yanzhou and drive Lü Bu out of Xuzhou......"
