Cao Cao has been leading the army for more than two months, and every day Zhao Fei goes out to see the battle situation on the front line, and the rest of the time is with Yang. After all, Cai Yan and Zhang Ning are both delicate people, and they don't blame Zhao Fei.

In the past two months, Yang has felt extremely excited. Zhao Fei's meticulous care made her feel flattered, and Zhao Fei's daily companionship also made Yang feel content.

However, as time went by, Zhao Fei's heart became more and more uneasy. Looking at the recent battle situation from the front, the uneasiness in Zhao Fei's heart was gradually expanding.

At the beginning, because there were no generals in Xuzhou, Cao Jun could be said to have won many battles and won all the way. Moreover, Cao Cao also traveled his own promise, and implemented a policy of slaughtering the city after leveling up a city of Xuzhou. After getting the news, even Zhao Fei couldn't help frowning, it was obvious that Zhao Fei was also unwilling to slaughter the city by Cao Cao. After all, he is also from a civilian background, and he can also have a headache for Cao Cao to massacre the civilian Zhao Fei.

However, although Cao's army has won many battles, Xuzhou is still strong. Then, Tao Qian concentrated his forces and tightened them in an all-round way, which also made Cao Cao a little clueless. Although there are no generals stationed in Xuzhou, the soldiers under his command are definitely a difficult bone to gnaw. Moreover, the city of Xuzhou is tall, and without the cooperation of siege equipment, it is difficult for Cao Jun to make a difference.

And Tao Qian also recognized a truth, that is, if you can't hold on, no matter how the Cao army outside the city scolds, the Xuzhou army inside the city will shrink inside and refuse to come out. And in the face of such a Xuzhou army, Cao Cao had nothing to do.

No matter if you are a conspiracy, Tao Qian, who is huddled in Xuzhou City, has no way, so this is also the time when the war has begun to enter a tug-of-war.

Then, something happened that caught Zhao Fei's attention, that is, Liu Bei had begun to enter the battlefield in Xuzhou.

After getting the news, Zhao Fei's mood was uneasy. He always felt like something was going to happen. Then, Zhao Fei began to think hard about why he was uneasy in his heart. In the end, Zhao Fei finally thought that in the confrontation between Cao Cao and Tao Qian, Chen Gong united with Lu Bu to attack Yanzhou.

Thinking of this, Zhao Fei was suddenly shocked, and then he hurriedly recruited guards and asked people to quickly close the city gate. No matter when Lu Bu comes, prevention is the most important thing.

The guards left not long after, and then someone quickly came to report Zhao Fei, saying that a large group of cavalry suddenly appeared outside Xuchang City. The cavalry suddenly appeared outside Xuchang City, as if it fell from the sky without any warning, if it wasn't for Zhao Fei ordering someone to close the city gate, it is estimated that this cavalry and attacked Xuchang City.

Hearing this news, Zhao Fei suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, if it weren't for his whim, Lu Bu's army would have already attacked Xuchang. But even so, the form of Xuchang City is not optimistic, you must know that Cao Cao took away the elite of the entire Yanzhou, and at this time, Xuchang City except for a thousand wolf pack soldiers, there are less than 5,000 soldiers defending the city, and most of them are recruits who have not been on the battlefield.

Outside Xuchang City, Zhang Liao rode his horse to Xuchang City, and looked at Xuchang City with confidence, and couldn't help but have some doubts and helplessness. You must know that since he received the order, he quickly brushed the soldiers and felt Xuchang, thinking that he could sneak attack, but when he led the cavalry to feel it, Xuchang City was already closed.

To say that Xuchang City closed the city gate so early, it is 100% unbelievable, but if this is not the case, how can we explain that the city gate is closed now. Could it be that his whereabouts were exposed, so he was known by Cao Jun in Xuchang City? However, this is also unlikely, you must know that you have traveled lightly all the way, and in order to sneak attack Xuchang City, Zhang Liao has abandoned all baggage, and the purpose is to catch the Cao army in Xuchang City by surprise.

But in the face of such a result, Zhang Liao couldn't help but vomit blood a little depressed. But now is not the time to worry about this, now that the gate of Xuchang City is closed, his light cavalry has no way to take Xuchang City. So in the face of this situation, Zhang Liao could only pass back to Lu Bu for him to make a decision.

In Puyang City, Lu Bu was talking to a middle-aged scribe with a happy face.

The middle-aged scribe's face was grim and silent, but his eyes were full of infinite wisdom. From time to time, he interjected a sentence when Lu Bu was speaking, and Lu Bu listened to the opinions of middle-aged scribes very much, and whenever middle-aged scribes spoke, Lu Bu would listen very attentively. Obviously, this middle-aged scribe is Chen Gong.

"Report!" Just as Lu Bu and Chen Gong were chatting happily, a soldier hurriedly ran up.

Seeing the soldier's anxious look, Lu Bu couldn't help frowning a little, and then Lu Bu said angrily: "What's the matter! ”

Hearing Lu Bu's words, the soldier kneeling under the hall couldn't help but tremble, and then the soldier said with a slight trembling: "Just now, General Zhang Liao sent someone to report that there was a sneak attack on Xuchang. ”

"What!" Lu Bu was furious when he heard this. Immediately sat up from his seat, and then Lu Bu asked Cheng with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Sir, you didn't say that this matter was foolproof, why did you fail again?" ”

Chen Gong was also slightly shocked when he heard the soldier's report, but he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart. Then Chen Gong stabilized his mind and said to Lu Bu: "Don't worry, Wenhou, wait for me to ask first." After speaking, Chen Gong also got up from his seat, came to the soldier's side and said, "Get up and speak first." ”

The soldier hurriedly stood up, and the soldier preferred to talk to Chen Gong more than Lu Bu. After all, Chen Gong did not have the same momentum as Lu Bu, so the soldiers would not feel very restrained when talking to Chen Gong.

"Tell me, what happened?" Although Chen Gong was also extremely shocked, he was too calm like Lu Bu.

General Zhang Liao ordered someone to send news, saying that when the general led his troops to Xuchang, the gate of Xuchang was closed. General Zhang was a light cavalry, so he did not attack the city, and is now being corrected outside the city. The soldier hurriedly said to Chen Gong.

After listening to the soldier's words, Chen Gong pondered for a long time with a calm face. Then he said and said secretly: "That Zhao Fei and Zhao Pengju are really difficult." ”

"Who is Zhao Fei?" Lu Bu asked with some confusion.

"Zhao Fei is Cao Cao's mastermind." Chen Gong said in a deep voice.

"That's right!" Lu Bu opened his mouth and said, "I seem to have a slight impression of Zhao Fei. ”

"Wen Hou knows Zhao Fei?" Chen Gong asked.

"I can't talk about acquaintances, but in the early years of Dong Zhuo, I had a relationship with him." Lu Bu said calmly, it was obvious that he didn't care about Zhao Fei at all.

Chen Gong was slightly disappointed, and then said: "It would be good if Wen Hou knew Zhao Fei, as far as I know, Zhao Fei is a great talent in Yingchuan, and he is also the mastermind of Cao Cao." The reason why Cao Cao was able to achieve so much was because of this person's advice for him. In the early years, Zhao Fei led 5,000 soldiers to crusade against nearly 100,000 yellow turbans in Qingzhou, and he couldn't help but capture more than 10,000 people without losing his strength. It can be seen that Zhao Fei and Zhao Pengju are absolutely talented. ”

After listening to Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu was also shocked. At first, he didn't care about Zhao Fei, but he didn't expect Zhao Fei to be so talented.

Seeing that Lu Bu had something, Chen Gong continued: "If Wen Hou can subdue Zhao Fei, he will definitely be able to sit in Yanzhou in a very short time, and at that time, even if Cao Cao waves his army back, it will be difficult to become a climate." ”

Hearing this, Lu Bu's eyes lit up. After running around for a long time, Lu Bu ran to several people one after another, and then he knew that only he was the master could decide his own fate. But although Lu Bu has this idea, he does not have this capital.

Although he has an army in his hands, he does not have a trace of territory. No territory means no money and no food, no territory, even if you have more troops, it is difficult to feed, and no territory, no matter how strong you are, you are just a gang of gangsters. Lu Bu knew the pain of not having a territory, which was why he relied so much on Chen Gong's willingness. Because without Chen Gong, Lu Bu was still worried about finding territory.

However, An Chen Palace said that although he won most of Yanzhou, he was unpopular with the people. You must know that Cao Cao has been operating in Yanzhou for a long time, and many people in Yanzhou were abducted by Zhao Fei from Qingzhou, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Cao Cao is in the hearts of the people in Yanzhou.

And now if you take one person, you can take the whole of Yanzhou, which makes Lu Bu not moved. Then Lü Bu instructed the soldier: "Go back and tell Zhang Liao to let him camp outside Xuchang City, and then I will personally lead the army to attack Xuchang City." ”

The soldier hurriedly turned and ran. After the soldiers went down, Lu Bu opened his mouth and asked Chen Gong, "Is there a good way to break the enemy in Gongtai?" ”

Chen Gong thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Xuchang is Cao Cao's lair, it will definitely not be as easy to conquer as other places, and it is still Zhao Fei who guards this city, so it will be even more difficult." But no matter how difficult it is, it is necessary to break through Xuchang. can't leave the slightest respite for Cao Cao, he must eliminate Cao Cao in a very short time, otherwise, with Cao Cao's strength, give him a little respite, then Yanzhou will still be his Cao Cao's. ”

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Lu Bu made up his mind to attack Luoyang. Then Lu Bu said proudly: "I don't care how long he operates, I don't care who guards the city, I will let him submit to my and the state's iron cavalry." Pass on my order, let the soldiers eat and drink enough, tomorrow we will go to Xuchang, I want to fight a battle to assess Yanzhou and then eliminate Cao Cao in peace. ”

After Lu Bu finished speaking, Chen Gong finally smiled, and then turned around and went down to prepare.

On the city wall of Xuchang City, Zhao Fei overlooked Lu Bu's military camp in the distance. Looking at Lu Bu's army, which was preparing to set up camp, Zhao Fei's expression was very solemn. It is obvious that he is waiting for reinforcements, and it is obvious that Lu Bu is determined to take Xuchang.

For this result, Zhao Fei had already thought of it. Luoyang is the foundation of Yanzhou, and only by taking Xuchang can we take the whole of Yanzhou. Lu Buken could not do this, but Chen Gong behind him obviously would not be unaware. Since Chen Gong knew, he would definitely let Lu Bu attack Xuchang with all his might.
