Xun Yu said to Cao Cao, "If the lord plunders the Chen land in the east, so that the army eats Runan and Yingchuan, the Yellow Turban Yu Party He Yi, Huang Shao and others are here, and plundered the state and county, there are many gold, silver, and grain, and these thieves are really a rabble, not to be afraid, break and take their grain, can raise the three armies, the court is happy, the people are happy, it is a matter of conforming to the destiny of heaven!" ”。

Cao Cao was overjoyed, so he adopted Xun Yu's strategy, went east out of Runan and Yingchuan, and attacked the remnants of the Yellow Turban, leaving Xiahoudun and Cao Ren to guard Juancheng, Dong'e, and Fanxian, and Cao Cao personally led troops to recruit He Yi and Huang Shao.

He Yi and Huang Shao occupied Runan and Yingchuan, and when they heard that Cao Cao was coming with the army, they joined forces and rejected Cao Cao, but the momentum of the Yellow Turban was no longer what it was then, and Cao Cao had a duel for less than half a month, and they were defeated.

In less than half a month, Cao Cao returned with his division and took all the money and grain from Runan and Yingchuan, and Cao Ren and Xiahoudun came to see Cao Cao and said, "Xue Lan and Li Feng of Gunzhou led the soldiers to go out of the city and plunder, and the city was empty, which could lead the victorious soldiers to attack it, and with one blow, it could be Kegunzhou."

Cao Cao led the troops to run to the city of Gunzhou, Xue Lan, Li Feng two unexpected, sent troops to fight Cao Cao, Dian Wei to fight, not more than two rounds, left and right double iron halberds one person and one halberd, all cut down, the army behind the two saw that the commander was dead, then the chaos fled, Cao Cao effortlessly, recaptured Gunzhou in his hands.

At that moment, Cheng Yu admonished, "Sincerity is a blow, and then Puyang!" ”。

Cao Cao personally ordered an army of 80,000, with Dian Wei as the vanguard, Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan as the left army, Li Dian and Le Jin as the right army, Cao Cao personally led the Chinese army, and sent troops to the land of Puyang after the ban.

When Lu Bu saw Cao Cao coming, he wanted to fight in person, but the military advisor Chen Gong said, "The general must not move lightly, and he can only meet the enemy after the generals gather!" ”。

Lu Bu didn't care, "Am I afraid of that Cao Agui?" Then he didn't listen to Chen Gong's words, led the troops out of the battle, and scolded Heng Halberd, "Three times and five times, there is no end, the Son of Heaven is fiefdom, and you are too forced!" ”。

Cao Cao didn't care about it, "Gunzhou is my territory, you come to snatch it, but it is still reasonable!" Immediately ordered Dian Wei to face Lu Bu, and Lu Bu did not give in, brandished Fang Tian's halberd and went to fight Dian Wei, the two fought for nearly a hundred rounds, Cao Cao said on the side, "Lu Bu is not one person who can defeat him, you can go together!" ”。

Immediately, the Xiahou brothers jumped on the horse and danced the sword to help Dian Wei's formation, Li Dian and Le Jin swarmed up together, and Lu Bu attacked the five generals of Cao Ying with the strength of one person, and he was already timid, so he wanted to turn the horse back to the city.

On the city wall of Puyang, the Arita clan stood, and when they saw that Lu Bu was defeated, they hurriedly pulled up the drawbridge in front of the city gate, and Lu Bu could not return to the city, shouting, "Open the door, open the door quickly!" ”。

Tian shouted from the city wall, "I have surrendered to General Cao!" ”。

It turned out that the last time Cao Cao was in the plan, he thought that the Zhongtian clan in Puyang City betrayed Lu Bu, and then Cao Cao returned to Juancheng, and secretly contacted the Puyang Tian clan, and said that as long as he was willing to do internal response, the previous things would definitely not be investigated!

Lu Bu is in Puyang, perverse and violent, Tian has long had different intentions, and Lu Bu has no food in the army, all the money and grain of the rich in the city are requisitioned, Tian is the most damaged, and he already hates Lu Bu to the core.

Lu Bu scolded the Tian villain under the city, but he was helpless, there was no way back in Puyang City, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, he no longer cherished the land of Puyang, and personally led the troops to the land of Dingtao.

Chen Gong saw that the Tian clan had rebelled, and there was nothing he could do, so he led dozens of horsemen to open the south gate of Puyang City, led Lu Bu's family, escaped, and followed Lu Bu to Dingtao.

Between raising his hand, Cao Cao regained Puyang, and after entering the city, he first forgave the Tian family's old sins, and Xun Younai said beside Cao Cao, "Lu Bu is a fierce tiger!" Today's fatigue must not be tolerated, and the thief needs to take advantage of the chaos! ”。

Cao Cao ordered Xun You to guard the land of Puyang, non-stop, and led his troops to Dingtao, and then conquered Lu Bu.

The place of Dingtao is Zhang Miao's base camp, when Lu Bu returned with defeated soldiers, Zhang Miao's brother Zhang Chao said, "Before Cao Cao attacked the land of Xuzhou, and Gunzhou was empty, the eldest brother helped Lu Bu break through Gunzhou, in order to share its benefits, I don't want this Lu Bu to be overwhelmed, and Cao Cao counterattacked back, I'm afraid my brother will suffer from Lu Bu!" ”。

Zhang Miao secretly thought to himself, he wanted to get rid of the relationship with this Lu Bu, but he didn't want this Lu Bu to run back to Dingtao, it was he Zhang Miao himself who was involved, even if Zhang Miao wanted to kill Lu Bu and dedicate it to Cao Cao, but Lu Bu was brave, and if his clumsy plan failed, he would suffer a disaster, and Zhang Miao still needed to think about it carefully.

Cao Cao led his troops to Dingtao and set up camp, but he did not attack the city, and led the army to refuse forty miles away from Dingtao City.

At that time, it was late autumn and October, and outside Dingtao City was hundreds of acres of rice fields, all of which were golden, and Cao Cao's mind was to hit the grain outside the city, so Cao Cao was not in a hurry to attack the city, but was calmly waiting for the day when the rice was ripe outside the city.

Zhang Miao in Dingtao City had already thought of Cao Cao's plot, but it was the hundred acres of rice fields outside the city, so he said worriedly, "The grain outside the city is the foundation of Dingtao City, if it is plundered by Cao Cao, there will be no way to continue in my city!" ”。

Zhang Miao wanted to put aside the relationship with Lu Bu, but this Lu Bu rushed to his side, and Zhang Miao couldn't help it, but at this time, he and Lu Bu were grasshoppers on a rope.

Lu Bu immediately said, "When the rice is ripe, Feng Xian will lead an army to resist Cao's army, and the general will personally lead the people to harvest the grain, which can be guaranteed!" ”。

Three days later, an autumn frost fell, the ears of rice drooped heavily, Cao Cao ordered the sergeant to go to the rice field before dawn, and Lu Bu in the city of Dingtao also personally led a group of troops to rob, when the night did not disappear, Lu Bu led the army out, rushed to the city of Dingtao, vaguely saw a dense forest next to the rice field, and the forest was full of flags, Lu Bu was shocked, "Is there an ambush in the forest?" ”。

Lu Bu hesitated, and after seeing the rice fields again, flags were planted everywhere in the dust, and there were countless horses whistling, Lu Bu was suspicious, "Cao Cao's subordinates are waiting for me Lu Bu, don't be fooled!" At that time, Zhang Miao had not yet left the city, because the two had agreed in advance that Lu Bu would fight with Cao's army in front, and Zhang Miao would cut rice in the back.

Zhang Miao asked Lu Bu why, and Lu Bu said, "Cao Cao has already placed heavy troops under the city, so don't fall for it!" ”。

Waiting for the dawn, Sergeant Cao Cao had already harvested more than 100 acres of rice fields back to the camp, and Lu Bu looked at the city, where there were any ambushes, the dense forest was just full of flags, and there was not a single sergeant, and the sound of horses' hooves was just a few horses, with a few branches tied to the horse's tail, and when he ran, there was a whistling sound, Lu Bu said angrily, "Cao Cao is cunning, he actually deceived me!" ”。

The grain has been plundered by Cao Cao, Zhang Miao can't, and Lu Bu was furious, so he led his troops out of the city to fight Cao Cao, but Cao Cao did not fight with Lu Bu, avoided fighting, Dingtao City suffered a big loss, and Lu Bu also had no choice but Cao Cao, when he was about to return to the city, a team of ambushes suddenly appeared in the dense forest, and Lu Bu's troops were caught off guard, and fled into the city.

At that time, Chen Gong saw that Lu Bu was newly defeated, and the food was lost, and it was no longer possible, and the Cao army under the city was very eager to attack the city, and there was no skill to return to the sky, so he said, "Dingtao is difficult to defend, it is better to abandon it!" ”。

Lu Bu and Chen Gong ran away again, and the soldiers were treacherous! Cao Cao first pretended to set up an ambush in the dense forest, and then planned to plan, and then really set up an ambush in it, Lu Bu didn't know, so he was in the middle of the plan!

This Zhang Miao was not shallow by Lu Bu pit, his brother Zhang Chao saw that the city was broken, helpless, killed himself, and Zhang Miao went straight to Yuan Shu and went, Cao Cao easily broke through Dingtao City, so far, Gunzhou and Shandong Territories are occupied by Cao Cao!

But when Lu Bu was defeated, he gathered all the generals under him, and Lu Bu thought again, "Although our army is defeated, we can still break Cao!" ”。

Lu Bu intends to counterattack Puyang City at this moment, Cao Cao's main force is better than Dingtao, and he must not have expected this, so Lu Bu is full of confidence, entangled with nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to prepare for a counterattack on Puyang, but Chen Gong said, "Now Cao Cao has a large army, and he can't compete with it, it is better to take a place to live first, and then make a plot, at that time, it is not difficult to fight Cao Cao again!" ”。

Lu Bu said, "I want to go to Yuan Shao again, but what? ”。

Chen Gong said, "Send someone to Yuan Shao to inquire first, and then make a decision!" ”。

Let's say that Yuan Shao was in Hebei, and when he heard that Cao Cao and Lu Bu were facing each other, the strategist Tian Feng said, "Lu Bu, it is a jackal, if you get Gunzhou, you must go to Hebei, if you don't help Cao Cao attack Lu Bu, you can be safe!" Yuan Shao wanted to send troops to help Cao Cao at that time, but he didn't want the war to end at this time, and when Lu Bu heard the news, he jumped like thunder, "Good Yuan Shao Yuan Benchu, I don't know what to do!" ”。

Chen Gong said, "Yuan Shao's place is hopeless, I heard that in the near future, Liu Beixin will get Xuzhou, and he can go to Xuzhou to join Liu Bei!" ”。

When Lu Bu heard his words, he led the military horses to Xuzhou and defected to Liu Bei.

However, it is said that in the city of Xuzhou, since the soldiers and horses of Jizhou broke through the city, Liu Bei's reputation in Xuzhou is not very good, but except for Liu Bei, there is really no one who can be in charge, and after Liu Bei used a little means, he still sat in Tao Qian's position, and repaired inside and outside, which is also a little stronger than Tao Qian's period.

Liu Bei was overjoyed when he heard that Lu Bu was coming to Xuzhou, but his second brother Guan Yu's face was not very good, and said, "This Lu Bu is a small person, kill Ding Yuan first, and then kill Dong Zhuo, he is a wild wolf who can't be fed, if he comes to Xuzhou, I'm afraid it will be bad for the eldest brother!" ”。

Liu Bei said with a smile, "Lu Bu is a tiger wolf, no one in the world knows it, if there is such a tiger wolf sitting in Xuzhou, he will not be afraid of Cao Cao and his ilk!" ”。
