Lu Bu's soldiers had just fought fiercely in the middle of the night, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and the soldiers had no heart to fight, although the number of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei was small, but they were waiting for work, not to mention that there were still Cao Ren's heavy troops in the city.

Lu Bu was shocked and angry, at a loss, Chen Gong persuaded: "Wen Hou, now the army is unstable, the soldiers are afraid of war, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu are unstoppable, if the Cao army in the city is killed, our army is surrounded on three sides, how can it be the enemy." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info not to mention that Cao Cao's army is coming, and he can't leave if he wants to. In my opinion, we might as well go back to Xiapi first, and then make plans. ”

Lu Bu looked around, and saw that all the troops had timid colors on their faces, and couldn't help sighing, glared at Chen Deng in the city hatefully, and spat, "Pass the order, go back to Xiapi." ”

Back in Xiapi, Lu Bu's armor had not been removed, and before anyone sat down, Chen Gong offered a plan and said: "Wenhou, Cao Cao's soldiers are coming in an instant." I have a plan. Cao's army came from afar, and the saddle horse was tired, and he must first set up camp. Wen Hou can gather all the armies first, and when the Cao army is out of camp, he will quickly kill them. Cao's army was caught off guard and would be defeated and flee. If they set up camp, it will be difficult for us to resist with our military strength. ”

Lu Bu had just suffered a defeat, and he was indignant, shaking the halberd in his hand, and said angrily: "Gongtai, I, Lu Bu, am invincible in the world, are you still afraid of Cao Cao?" ”

Chen Gong was said by Lu Bu's split, and he was also angry. But in the end, it was a humble gentleman, Chen Gongqiang endured the unhappiness in his heart, and persuaded: "Wen Hou, the situation is critical now, don't be rash!" ”

Lu Bu blurted out and regretted it, not to mention that Chen Gong's loyalty could be learned, so he apologized and said: "Gongtai, Lu Bu is depressed in his heart, so he is rude, don't blame him." ”

Chen Gong comforted: "Wen Hou, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, don't mind." Wangwen Hou adopted Chen Gong's strategy, waited for the opportunity to attack, and broke Cao in one fell swoop, the situation would turn around, and Wen Hou would not miss the opportunity. ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Gongtai, Cao Cao has always been cunning, he must have taken precautions, and it is difficult to have a chance of winning here." The high walls of Xiapi City are thick, and the soldiers are good enough to eat, so let's stick to it. ”

Chen Gong still had to be persuaded again, and Lu Bu said: "Gongtai, Lu Bu is a little tired, you should go back and rest early." Chen Gong sighed and had to retreat.

Cao Cao won Xuzhou, on the one hand, put the list on the people, and on the other hand, put on a banquet to celebrate. Cao Cao sat in the middle of the square, flanked by Liu Guanzhang, Chen Deng and his son, Liu Yong and other civil and military officials.

Cao Cao said: "This time, the soldiers did not bloody Xiaoguan, Xuzhou, and Peixian, and Chen Deng and Liu Yong should be the first to be credited." Chen Deng was crowned the Lu of the ten counties, Liu Yong was a partial general, and the meritorious people under him were school captains and captains.

Chen Deng and Liu Yong saluted and thanked them, and Cao Cao said, "The wisdom of Yuanlong has long been known in his true appearance, but I didn't expect that there is such a genius as Chongru." I want to march into Xiapi in the near future and capture Lu Bu, what is Chongru's good strategy? ”

Liu Yong knew that Cao Cao wanted to test himself, so he hurriedly clasped his fists and arched his hand: "Prime Minister, the city of Xiapi is tall, the grain and grass are abundant, Lu Bu is all over the world, no one is invincible, and Gao Shun and Zhang Liao are brave and good at fighting, Chen Gong and others are wise and resourceful, and it is difficult to win in a hurry." In the next thought, the prime minister should only surround Xiapi, slowly draw it, and wait for changes in the city before he can attack it quickly. Lu Buyong won the world, with the red rabbit horse under his crotch and the halberd in his hand, it was not difficult to break out of the encirclement and escape to other places. Prime Minister, it is easy to release a tiger and difficult to capture a tiger, and it is necessary for all armies to guard various passes, especially Yuan Shu in Huainan. ”

Cao Cao nodded slightly, and asked: "It's just that I can't wait for food and grass, and it will be difficult to do it after a long time." If Lu Bu comes to intercept my grain and grass, our army will be chaotic, what should we do? ”

"Although Lu Bu is brave, he is suspicious and less decisive, knowing that the prime minister is good at cutting off people's food and grain, he must be prepared, and Lu Bu will never dare to do anything." When everyone heard Liu Yong say this, they couldn't help but laugh.

Cao Cao couldn't stop laughing and asked Guo Jia, "What does Feng Xiao think?" ”

Guo Jia arched his hand and said: "Chongru's words are extremely true, please accept it." ”

Cao Cao smiled and said, "Okay." Then ask Brother Xuande to guard the direction of Huainan, and be sure not to let Lu Bu and Yuan Shu join forces. ”

Liu Bei stood up and replied, "Please rest assured, my brother will never let Lu Bu take a step towards Huainan." ”

Cao Cao ordered the whole army to rest for two days, leaving Chen Deng's father and son to guard Xuzhou, Liu, Guan, and Zhang to guard the Huainan intersection, and he himself took Liu Yong and other generals to move to camp outside Xiapi City.

Early in the morning of the second day, Cao Cao ordered 10,000 soldiers and came to the outside of Xiapi City. ”

In fact, when Lu Bu heard that Cao Cao was coming in person, he had already stood on the city tower with Chen Gong. Lu Bu held the city wall in his hand, looked down, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see Cao Cao's army black and oppressive like dark clouds all over the ground, waving flags, people like tigers and horses like dragons, majestic and murderous. A person stood out in front of the formation, with a red Luo umbrella on his head, a white horse carved under his crotch, and he was calm and relaxed, it was Cao Cao Cao Mengde.

Lu Bu was looking, and Cao Cao pointed up with a horsewhip in his hand, "Is it Fengxian in the city?" ”

"Yes, it's Lu Bu."

"Fengxian, I think that you and Situ Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo at the beginning, saved the country from danger, and made great contributions to the imperial court. Yuan Shu vainly claimed to be the emperor Yu Shouchun, but he was a traitor to the country. If you marry with him and rebel against him, aren't you afraid of exterminating the Nine Clans? Fengxian, do you think the small Xiapi City can withstand Xin Cao's 100,000 army? This prime minister advises you to surrender as soon as possible, and still do not lose your worship to the marquis, and the son and wife are honored; If you are obsessed, stubbornly resist, don't be anxious to regret! ”

Lu Bu was silent, he saw the momentum of Cao Cao's army, and he regretted it a little, I originally set a plan with Situ Wang Yun to get rid of the **** Dong Zhuo, which one of the people in the court is not grateful to him, but now it is good, he has become a traitorous minister, should I surrender to Cao Cao, or fight to the death with him? Lu Bu couldn't make up his mind for a while, so he said: "Prime Minister, please retire for the time being, let me think twice." ”

"Fengxian, you have to think carefully, if you insist on going your own way, once the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and it will be too late to regret it!"

Before Lu Bu could answer, Chen Gong next to him said angrily: "Cao Cao, you have deceived the king, held the Son of Heaven hostage, and have long had the heart of disobedience, how can we surrender to you?" Look at the arrows! Speaking of this, Chen Gong pulled the string with the arrow, and with a "snap", the arrow was shooting on Cao Cao's red Luo umbrella cover.

Cao Cao was furious, "Good for you Chen Gong!" After the city is broken, I will not kill you, and I will not be a man! ”

Chen Gong was about to shoot the arrow again, Lu Bu pulled his sleeve and said, "Gongtai, you come with me." ”

When the two of them returned to the mansion, Lu Bu asked: "Gongtai, now that Cao Cao's army is besieged, how should we break the enemy and relieve the difficulty?" ”

Chen Gong shook his head and said, "Wen Hou, Chen Gong's wisdom is exhausted. ”

Lu Bu knew that Chen Gong was talking angrily, thinking that Chen Gong had so many good ideas before, but he didn't adopt them, and he had lost so many good opportunities in vain, he really couldn't stand him, so he said: "Gongtai, you also know that if we lose our chances, we will have no place to stand." Now, it's time for us to work together to get through this together. In any case, don't push it off and come up with another clever plan for me. ”

Chen Gong also sulked casually, listened to Lu Bu's soft begging, and got off the donkey down the slope, and said solemnly: "Wenhou, although Cao Cao is menacing, according to my words, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory." ”

Lu Bu was overjoyed and said, "Come quickly." ”

"Wen Hou led an elite army out of the city and set up camp outside the city, while I led the rest of the soldiers to defend the city, and the two were each other's horns. If Cao Cao attacked the Wenhou camp, I went to the rescue; If Cao's soldiers attacked Xiapi, the general led his men and horses to kill them from behind. Cao Cao's new gain in Xuzhou, his foothold was not stable, and he was far away from Xudu, so the military rations must be insufficient. We only need to spend more than a month, and Cao Cao will withdraw if he has no food. ”

"The public station is a very good plan." Lu Buzan said, "I immediately led my troops out of the city. ”

Lu Bu selected 3,000 elite soldiers, returned to the inner house by himself, packed his bags, and prepared to set off. Mrs. Yan saw that Lu Bu was wearing a military uniform, so she said, "General, do you want to go out of the city to meet the enemy again?" ”

"Madam, now Cao Cao's soldiers have arrived outside Xiapi City. Gongtai offered a plan, let me take a group of elite soldiers to camp outside the city, he led the rest of the army to defend the city, with the momentum of a horn, head to tail, can make Cao's army retreat without a fight. ”

Yan frowned and said, "General, now we only have a lonely city left. If you divide half of your troops and station them outside the city, with the power of Chen Palace, can you hold Xiapi? The concubine heard that even if the whole army was raised, it would not be able to compete with Cao Cao, let alone only half an army. If Cao Bing comes into the city, the general, how can the whole family be good! ”

Lu Bu didn't have much opinion, but after listening to what Yan said, he had some truth, and then looked at the sadness on the faces of the other wives and concubines, Lu Bu was short of breath, his children were long, and his heart was soft, so he took off his armor and robe, and ordered: "Come on, put on a banquet, I want to be shocked with my wife." ”

Chen Gong waited outside for a long time, but did not see Lu Bu come out, so he sent someone to inquire, only to find out that Lu Bu was drinking with his wives and concubines. Chen Gong was anxious and annoyed, and stomped his feet, "Lu Bu, if you don't listen to my Chen Gong's words, Xia Pi will not be safe." Although Chen Gong hated Lu Bu for being incompetent, he had no other way, so he came to look for Lu Bu every day, and only after three days did he see Lu Bu.

Lu Bu was his boss in the end, and although Chen Gong hated it in his heart, he had to ask Wen Yan: "Wen Hou, why didn't you divide your troops to resist the enemy for a long time?" ”

"Gongtai, I was about to consult with you. We were already defeated by Cao Cao, and if we divided our troops, we would not have half a chance to win. Gongtai, you see that Picheng is tall, full of grain and grass, and there is a natural danger in Surabaya outside the city, why should we go out of the city and risk it? Didn't you say that Cao Cao was short of food and grass? Then we just need to hold on without a fight, and within a month, Cao Cao will run out of food and retreat. ”

Chen Gong was so anxious that he stomped his feet, "Wenhou, Cao Cao has no food to go back to Xudu to transport, and we are only consuming grain and grass if we hold on, and if we don't send troops at this time, we can only sit and wait for death." ”

Lu Bu said disapprerovingly: "Public Taiwan and relax, Lu Bu has a reason." Chen Gong sighed, had to say goodbye, wanted to leave Lu Bu but was reluctant, only to strengthen patrols, strictly prevent Cao Cao from stealing the city, and at the same time sent a horse to spy on Cao Ying's military situation.

On this day, Chen Gong got a report that Cao Cao's battalion was running out of food, and he was transporting grain from Xudu to this side. Chen Gong thought about it, this is a good opportunity, but if he really wants to rob Cao Cao's food, he has to ask Lu Bu to go in person! Chen Gong was helpless, so he had to come to Lu Bu again: "Wenhou, I got the report just now, and Cao Cao's camp is about to run out of food." ”

Lu Bu said happily: "Good news! After running out of food, Cao Cao is about to retire. ”

"But the line reported that the grain and grass that Cao Cao sent people to transport from Xudu are about to arrive."

"What is the purpose of the public station?"

"Wenhou, grain and grass are the lifeblood of the army, and the army without food is in chaos. Wen Hou Keqin led an elite army to ambush Cao Cao's grain and grass, and all of them were set on fire. Cao Cao had no food and had to retreat, and the siege of Xiapi could be solved without a fight. ”
