Cao ** thought so, and was extremely unwilling, so he suddenly had a plan, and urgently asked Xun Yu to call Cao Hong, Xiahoudun and other confidant generals over to discuss.

However, it was said that Cao Ren and Yu Ban led 40,000 troops to attack the Dongjun City, which was the seat of Yanzhou governance, and it could be regarded as a strong city, without the help of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, Lu Bu would not have been able to take it at all. The most important thing is that the Yanzhou officials did not really belong to Cao **, and Lu Bu had the edict of the Son of Heaven in hand, and with the residual power of the Han family, he took the Dongjun City without a single soldier. And Cao Ren's desire to capture Dongjun City with 40,000 soldiers and horses is obviously unrealistic, but Cao **'s intention is to contain Lu Bu's forces and cut off his supplies. That's why Cao Ren was sent to take a dangerous road to besiege Dongjun.

Chen Gonghe was friendly with Cao **, and he knew his suspicious surname well, and after Guo Jia's persuasion, Lu Bu finally agreed to send troops, and the four generals Zhang Yang, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and Li Le led 30,000 troops to ambush Cao's army where it must pass.

Cao Ren was very convinced of his cousin Cao **, and in order to take out his unexpected effect, he let Yu Ban lead the baggage troops to slow down in the back, and he led 30,000 troops to Dongjun in a hurry, all the way over the mountains and mountains, opened the road in the forest, and built a bridge in the water, and traveled more than 100 miles in only one day, and there was still a small half distance. The 30,000-strong army rested hastily for one night, and then set off again the next morning.

At noon, Cao Ren happened to come to a dense forest, and when Cao Ren saw a flock of birds hovering over it without falling, he couldn't help but be suspicious, and hurriedly ordered scouts to explore the way. As he was talking, he heard only a gong, and the sound of shouting and killing suddenly sounded in the surrounding dense forest, as if there were thousands of troops and horses. Countless soldiers came out of the dense forest, bent their bows and arrows, and arrows flew all over the world.

Cao Ren's face turned pale, and he urgently ordered the army to retreat, but it was too late, they came from afar, and were blocked by others who were waiting for work, and this round of arrow rain alone caused great casualties. After all, his troops were not as well-equipped as the Ma Chao Army. This time, he was caught off guard by surprise, and after a little resistance, they were defeated one after another.

Cao Ren tried his best to organize troops to resist, but the effect was minimal, and many Cao soldiers didn't even need weapons in order to escape for their lives, and fled for their lives along the same route. Zhang Yang, Cheng Lian and other four generals led their troops to pursue and cover up, beheading more than 10,000 people, capturing thousands, and the rest scattered. Cao Ren's 30,000 troops lost most of their previous troops, and only more than 7,000 people were in one place with Yu Ban.

disappeared and spread to Dongping, Lu Bu was overjoyed, and laughed: "Gongtai is really like a god, Cao Thief prides himself on using soldiers like a god, and he can't even see through an ambush plan, he is really laughing and generous!" ”

Chen Gong, who came with the army, was a little proud, stroked his beard and smiled: "After this while, the Cao thief no longer has the advantage of troops, as long as we wait step by step, plus the general will transfer grain from Jizhou to support us, and it is only a matter of time before the Cao thief is completely annihilated!" ”

Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Why do you need to be so troublesome? Ben will have a cooperative relationship with Ma Chao, and it is by no means his subordinate. Yanzhou is densely populated, and if you get it, you will have the capital to achieve great things, and I want to fight with Cao ** quickly and completely control Yanzhou! ”

Chen Gong frowned and said: "Although the Cao army is defeated, but the main force is still there, our army must not be in a hurry, but I don't know that the arrogant soldiers will be defeated, and the mourning soldiers will win?" ”

Lu Bu shook his head and said: "Most of the Cao thieves have yellow turban thieves, why should a group of rabble be afraid? How can it be compared with the elite soldiers under the command of this general? If it weren't for his speed, the general would have taken his head a long time ago! ”

Chen Gong was speechless, his heart was just a fluke from you, if he fought again, could Cao Thief be defenseless? The two continued to discuss their next move. At this moment, Song Xian suddenly hurried in and said excitedly: "Great joy! Exultation! Congratulations to the generals! ”

Lu Bu was puzzled: "What is the joy?" ”

Song Xian said: "The news of the great victory of Zhang Yang, Cheng Lian and others reached Cao Ying, and Cao Thief, who was seriously injured by the general, heard that his wound was broken, and he died!" ”

"There is such a thing!" When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately stood up and asked with a happy face, "Is this matter serious?" "Cao ** is not dead, Lu Bu has always been at peace in his heart, especially the Bian family and his son Cao Pi, who are deeply loved by Lu Bu. And Cao ** has more than 100,000 parts, if you add the Yellow Turban Thieves who have been recruited, 200,000 are possible.

Song Xian said: "It's true, at the moment, the senior generals of Cao Ying's heads are wrapped in white silk, and there is a cry in the big tent of the Chinese army. ”

Lu Bu laughed and said, "God really helps me!" The order went down, quickly assembled the troops, and was going to personally lead the troops to attack the camp at the third watch tonight, and they were bound to annihilate the remnants of the Cao thieves in one fell swoop! ”

"No!"

Song Xian was about to go to deliver the order, but Chen Gong hurriedly stopped: "General, can't?" Cao thief is extremely deceitful, be careful! It's not too late to send someone to investigate and then send troops to steal the camp! ”

Lu Bu said confidently: "Could it be that Gongtai thinks that the bow and arrow are not good?" Cao thief in my arrow, I can live to this day is a great luck, how can there be fraud? The military plane is fleeting, how can you hesitate at this moment, there is no need to discuss this matter, you can lead a thousand troops to garrison the city, and wait for the victory of the general! ”

Chen Gong was shocked and said urgently: "By all means, can a thousand soldiers and horses defend the city?" In case we fall for the plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, wouldn't it be dangerous for us to wait! The general has not forgotten the purpose of my waiting. Why rush to a decisive battle with Cao Thief, wait for Zhang Yang and others to lead the troops, and then discuss the plan to break Cao! ”

Lu Bu frowned, and said with a slight sigh: "Since you are left with three thousand elite soldiers, you will only need five thousand elite soldiers to break the rabble of Cao thieves!" ”

Chen Gong persuaded again, but Lu Bu just didn't listen, and his face was impatient.

That night, the sky was cloudless, the stars were dotted, and a crescent moon quietly rose, splitting a layer of white gauze on the dark earth. Lu Bu led 5,000 troops, Song Xian, Sun Guan, and Hao Meng were among them, and there were 2,000 cavalry and 3,000 infantry troops among the 5,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom were elite soldiers who were brave and good at fighting.

5,000 people took advantage of the darkness to rush to Cao Ying, which was thirty miles away, and in order to achieve a surprise effect, the hooves of the war horses were wrapped in sackcloth, and the soldiers carefully approached Cao Ying with branches in their mouths.

Seeing that the destination was in front of him, he looked around, and saw a few clusters of torches lit on the gate of Cao ** Village, and the patrolmen gathered together in twos and threes and kept dozing, as usual.

Lu Bu was overjoyed, and waved Fang Tian's halberd and shouted: "The whole army is assaulted!" There's a big reward afterwards! With that, a horse rushed forward, and the distance of two hundred paces was only a few breaths for the red rabbit horse. As soon as the guards at the gate reacted to what was going on, Lu Bu's cavalry team had already rushed to the front, and the infantry followed closely.

Lu Bu exerted his divine strength, waved his halberd to pick up the rejection horse, split the gate of the village and was the first to rush into Cao Ying, unstoppable. Song Xian, Hao Meng, and Sun Guan rushed in after killing the guards guarding the door. For a while, the shouting and killing were loud, as if there were thousands of troops.

But a puzzling scene happened, the army had more than a dozen breaths from the beginning of the charge to the time of entering Cao Ying, and under the loud shouting, even if Cao Jun slept and died, it was impossible to be unresponsive. When I opened a few tents, I saw that they were so empty! (To be continued.) )
