After Dong Zhuo's ambush, Wang Yun was in power, and Lu Bu was meritorious in killing Dong Zhuo, served as a general of Fenwu, and entered the Marquis of Wen, and became a great hero of Kuang Fu Han from Dong Zhuo's lackey, and snatched back Minchan. It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, due to Wang Yun's paranoia, Dong Zhuo's rest of Li Dao and Guo Yan and others failed to surrender, and they rebelled recklessly.

Wang Yun was killed by the rebels under the Xuanping Tower, even if Lu Bu was brave, he could not resist the Xiliang rebels who gathered from the ants, so he had to lead the remnants to flee from Chang'an City in a panic, and Dong Zhuo's rotting and stenching head hung under the head of the red rabbit horse, and headed towards the eastern part of the country.

After escaping from Wuguan, Lu Bu went to join Yuan Shu, who was still in Nanyang. At the beginning, Yuan Shu was still good to Lu Bu, after all, Lu Bu killed Dong Zhuo, avenged the Yuan family in the sea of blood, and treated Lu Bu very well. But Lu Bu was a little arrogant, thinking that he was kind to the Yuan family, and he was very arrogant on the ground in Nanyang, wantonly plundering his troops. Yuan Shu is not a generous person, and when he saw Lu Bu's virtue, he became murderous.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Bu quickly slipped away and went to Hanoi to join his fellow villager Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang is really good, loyal to the court, and sticks a knife for his friends. But Zhang Yang's subordinates couldn't get used to Lu Bu's face, and persuaded Zhang Yang to kill Lu Bu and ask for a reward from Li Dao Guo Yan in Chang'an. After Lu Bu heard the news, he was restless, and tested Zhang Yang with words: "The court has a heavy reward for capturing cloth, if the public intends to ask for a certain head, it is better to send me to Chang'an, maybe there will be a merit of sealing the marquis." ”

Zhang Yang has a lot of humor. At the moment, he said flatly: "What you said makes a lot of sense. Zhang Yang said that he did not betray Lu Bu's actions, but Lu Bu was frightened and fled with his men overnight, and his next target was Yuan Shao, who was in Hebei.

At this time, although Yuan Shao seized Han Fu's Jizhou, there was Gongsun Zan outside and black mountain thieves inside, and Yuan Shao was the time for a headache. repeatedly conquered the black turban thieves but had no results, and as soon as Lu Bu came, his shape suddenly turned around. Lu Bu relied on the red rabbit horse fast. Brave and resolute, he broke the Black Mountain thieves and made military achievements. Lu Bu is arrogant and has a little merit. He cocked his tail. Conniving at subordinates to run rampant. Yuan Shao hated him, so he gave him the title of lieutenant and sent 3,000 soldiers and horses to escort him to Luoyang to take office.

Although Lu Bu's character is not good. But he was not stupid, knowing that Yuan Shao would be so kind, so he stroked the kite in the tent army in the middle of the night, played half of it, and asked his cronies to continue playing for him, and he slipped away quietly, and Yuan soldiers came in the middle of the night, but it was an empty tent. When Yuan Shao heard that Lu Bu had escaped, he was so frightened that he closed the gates of Yecheng, for fear that Lu Bu would find him to settle accounts.

But at this time, Lu Bu did not have the courage to settle accounts with Yuan Shao, nor did he have the courage to go to Luoyang to serve as a lieutenant of the department, thinking about it, he felt that Zhang Yang was still a trustworthy friend, so he went to Hanoi to defect to Zhang Yang again. When passing by Chen Liu halfway, he unexpectedly got acquainted with Chen Liu's Taishou Zhang Miao, Zhang Miao admired Lu Bu very much, treated each other very well, and swore an oath.

Knowing Zhang Miao is undoubtedly a major turning point in Lu Bu's life, since escaping from Guanzhong, Lu Bu has been running around, panicking like a lost dog, living a precarious life. But the opportunity came inadvertently, and even Lu Bu himself would never have dreamed that he still had the opportunity to become a feudal official and a prince.

Zhang Miao had a good relationship with Liu Dai, the original assassin of Yanzhou, Yuan Shao had the ambition of swallowing Yanzhou in the south, and sent someone to find Zhang Miao to ask him to join him, Zhang Miao immediately refused, and Yuan Shao hated him deeply. After Liu Dai's death, Cao Cao took charge of Yanzhou, and Yuan Shao wrote to Cao Cao to kill Zhang Miao. Cao Cao didn't pay attention to it at all, but after Zhang Miao knew about it, he was uneasy.

Cao Cao was originally the Taishou of Dongjun, and after Liu Dai's death, he took the Yanzhou Mu and gave his Dongjun Taishou to Chen Gong. Although Zhang Miao was still Chen Liutaishou, his pressure at this time was great, and the powerful Cao Cao rapidly expanded his power in Yanzhou, and absorbed 300,000 Yellow Turban troops in one go, which made Zhang Miao, who was not Cao Cao's confidant, worried, for fear that Cao Cao would annex his territory that day.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although the state pastor was set up to take charge of the military and political affairs of a state, the county was still relatively independent under his rule. But Zhang Miao faced Cao Cao, who had risen strongly, and was always worried and restless.

So, Zhang Miao took advantage of Cao Cao's southern expedition to Xuzhou, and found his younger brother Zhang Chao, who was the Taishou of Guangling, to discuss, and pulled up the Chen Palace, who had a big opinion on Cao Cao, and welcomed Lu Bu from Hanoi, and let him be the pastor of Chongzhou.

Cao Cao finished reading the detailed battle report, and he couldn't help but mess up when he was calm. "Yanzhou is the foundation of our army, and if Yanzhou is lost, we will be like a rootless wanderer, and we cannot abandon it."

Guo Jiadao: "Don't worry, my lord, Lu Bu has just won Yanzhou, the people's hearts are not stable, if our army moves north, we will be able to recover Yanzhou." Fortunately, Wen Ruozhongde defended the three counties of Juancheng, which are all places where our army has money and food, and the three counties have not been lost, so our army will have a chance to turn defeat into victory. ”

Cao Cao immediately ordered: "Order the troops to immediately set up camp and return to Yanzhou." ”

Guo Jia pointed to the front account and said, "Liu Ze's lord over there has figured out how to reply?" ”

"What about filial piety?"

"The lord is fair and sells his personal favor to Liu Ze, which can be regarded as repaying him for his dedication to Zhang Min, as for Xuzhou, after Yanzhou is pacified, it is not too late to try."

Cao Cao Xu Zhi, wrote a letter back to Liu Ze, came out to see Xu Shu and said: "Mr. Yuanzhi, go back to Ming Runde, and say that Cao Mou thanked him for capturing Zhang Min and had to avenge the killing of his father. ”

Xu Shu didn't expect Cao Cao to agree to withdraw his troops so readily, and was slightly surprised, combined with Guo Jia's expression when he received the military report before, Xu Shu faintly felt that things were extraordinary, Cao Cao's rear must have happened to something, otherwise Cao Cao would never have been able to strike the troops lightly, as for what to look at the old feelings, Xu Shu only took it as a pretext. However, since Cao Cao had agreed to withdraw his troops, the purpose of his trip had been achieved, and he bowed down and said, "Thank you Cao Envoy, I am leaving." ”

"Good! Feng Xiao, send Mr. Yuan Zhi. Cao Cao didn't stay with each other.

Guo Jia sent Xu Shu outside the camp and sighed: "It's rare for you and my old friends to reunite, but we met in a hurry, and I don't know what year it will be when we meet again." Yuan Zhi, Fang is in turmoil today, and among the princes, there are not many people who can compete in the world. ”

Xu Shu smiled: "If I persuade Brother Feng Xiao to switch to Runde Gong, what should you do?" ”

Guo Jiayin laughed and arched his hand: "Don't leave it here, there will be a period later." ”

Xu Shu resigned from Guo Jia, took people back to Xuzhou City, and went straight to see Liu Ze.

Liu Ze saw Xu Shu returning, his anxious look was swept away, and he took Xu Shu's hand and said: "Yuan Zhi is going to Cao Ying, I have always been anxious, Cao Cao suffered from the pain of losing his father, and his mind was blinded. ”

Xu Shu said with a smile: "My subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored and have been able to retreat with all their merits." ”

"It seems that Yuan Zhi said that Cao Cao dismissed the army?"

Xu Shu presented Cao Cao's reply, with a statement about Cao Ying, and said: "But this matter is quite strange, his subordinates offered Zhang Min in Cao Ying, although Cao Cao was happy, but did not agree to withdraw the troops, at this time there happened to be a military emergency report to Cao Ying, Guo Jia first received the letter, his expression was very different, called Cao Cao out, and returned after a long time, Cao Cao's attitude changed greatly, and he agreed to withdraw the troops. In the opinion of his subordinates, something big must happen in Cao Cao's rear, otherwise Cao Cao would not be able to withdraw his troops so lightly. ”

"Clichés, hypocrisy." Liu Ze read Cao Cao's reply, smiled faintly, turned around and took another letter, and handed it to Xu Shu, "Yuan Zhi, take a look at this." ”

Xu Shu glanced at it and exclaimed, "As expected, Cao Cao's lair was secretly attacked by Lu Bu, no wonder he retreated in such a hurry." "This letter is the latest information from Yanzhou that Jin Yingwei has just sent back, and it describes Lu Bu's sneak attack on Yanzhou.

Liu Ze smiled slightly: "Cao Cao came here for two purposes, one is to raise troops and hate, and the other is to use this as an excuse to swallow Xuzhou. However, Cao Cao was willing to quit the army and left, and the soldiers and civilians of Xuzhou were exempted from the pain of swords and soldiers, which could not be better, so in this way, Lu Bu made a miraculous contribution to Xuzhou, hahaha. ”

Everyone laughed, Liu Ze got up and went to the governor's mansion, Tao Qian and other news of Cao Cao's withdrawal were probably overlooked.

"What? Cao Cao really wants to retreat? Tao Qian was pleasantly surprised, and Mi Zhu, Cao Bao and other cadres were skeptical.

"Yes, this matter is true, there is Cao Cao's reply here." Liu Ze took out Cao Cao's letter and handed it to Tao Qian.

After reading it, Tao Qian cried with joy, and said: "Today, thanks to the merits of Runde Gong, Xuzhou can be preserved, and the people of Xuzhou can be saved from slaughter. As he spoke, he wanted to make a great salute.

The potter said urgently: "My father's illness has not healed, so I must not do it." ”

Liu Ze also stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Tao Gong must not be like this, he is killed in the next place, and Xuzhou City can be preserved, but it depends on the strength of all the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou, and he is united to resist the enemy to the death. ”

Chen Deng said with a smile: "Runde Gong should not be humble, if it were not for the power of Runde Gong, Xuzhou would have been a powder." ”

Mi Zhu, Cao Bao and others also stepped forward to congratulate, but their expressions were slightly lost. (To be continued......)
