The attack on the grain and grass camp of the Yuan army in Dongcheng was carried out very smoothly, Zhang Fei and Tai Shici set off in the middle of the night, and traveled all the way, and when it was dawn, they reached the outside of Dongcheng. Chen Ji received a report, bullied Xuzhou with few soldiers, led the crowd to fight, as soon as Fang clashed, he was killed by the bow horseman, and hurriedly fled back to the camp and stuck to Dazhai.

Zhang Fei and Tai Shici did not attack the camp, but launched ten catapults in front of the trench outside the wall, and just when Chen Ji and Yuan Jun were puzzled, a row of clay pots roared over their heads and smashed into the camp. A strange scene happened to Chen Ji and the others, some of those clay pots fell on the open ground, and the clay pots immediately shattered, and there was nothing on the sandy ground that ignited a raging fire immediately, and the water could not be extinguished.

More places in the camp were full of grain and grass, and the clay pot hit the granary haystack, which caused a fire, but it was only a moment, and the entire grain and grass camp was already thick smoke and flames. Chen Ji hurriedly asked people to fetch water and sand to extinguish the fire, but these crockpots of the Xuzhou army were made of gasoline, and ordinary fire-extinguishing methods could not curb the spread of the fire at all, not to mention that the catapults outside the camp kept throwing rows of crockpots in, and within a moment or two, the entire grain and grass camp was already in a sea of fire.

Chen Ji saw that more than 100,000 pieces of grain and grass had already been burned, and he didn't want to bury this pile of grain and grass, so he broke through the siege and led the remnants of the army to Linhuai to report Ji Ling.

Zhang Fei and Tai Shi Ci saw that their goal was achieved, and they also returned to the barracks to give orders.

Ji Ling, who was stationed in Huailing, was stunned when he heard that the grain and grass in Dongcheng had been burned. The army has no food, the army is unstable, now the army's grain stock has been less than seven days, even if the grain from Huainan is transported again, it will take at least ten days and a half months, it seems that this Huailing can not be held, so Yang Hong and others were summoned to discuss, and decided to retreat back to Huainan. In order to guard against the pursuit of Xuzhou, Ji Ling also specially ordered Zhang Xun to be the rear team and take strict precautions.

Knowing that the Xuzhou army had no intention of pursuing at all, he heard that the Yuan army retreated. Liu Ze also immediately set up camp. The soldiers retreated to Xuyi, but still ordered Yu Poison to guard Xuyi, and replenished more than half of his lost troops to full strength, and then the army marched north. Pointing directly to Tancheng.

After conquering Tancheng. Lu Bu is complacent. Since leading Yanzhou Mu, Feng Cao Leopard is engaged in other driving, and Chen Gong is engaged in governance. Zhang Liao and Wei Xu were Zhonglang generals, Gao Shun, Cao Xing, Hou Cheng, and Song Xian were all lieutenants, and Chen Deng became the Taishou of Donghai County as he wished, and even his old father Chen Qi was appointed by Lu Bu as Gong Cao. The old troops of the Xuzhou army in the city were all surrendered by Cao Bao, and Lu Bu ordered him to command.

Every time there is a banquet, Chen Qi and his son will praise Lu Bu, saying that he has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and can be regarded as the first hero in the world.

Chen Gong was quite displeased, and advised Lu Budao: "Chen Deng's father and son are flattering and ill-intentioned, Tao Qian rebelled against Liu Ze when he was the state pastor, and now he betrays the lord to seek glory and takes refuge in the lord. ”

When Lu Bu heard Chen Gong's words and capriciousness, his face couldn't help but turn red, and he said faintly unhappily: "I see that Yuanlong's father and son are sincere people, if it is not Yuanlong, how can Benhou sit in the position of state pastor, and what is the intention of the public platform to offer slander for no reason?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Chen Deng's dedication to the city, the most is the faith, today he can go behind Liu Ze and vote for the lord, and when the lord is poor on the other day, he also knows that he will not betray the lord and vote for others. ”

"Enough!" Lu Bu couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "Gongtai, according to your words, Ben Hou is even more capricious and traitorous villain!" Not only Ben Hou, aren't you also deeply reused by Cao Cao but betrayed Cao Cao, the same ass is not clean, why do you want to slander Yuanlong? ”

Chen Gong was speechless and speechless, and Lu Bu came out with his sleeves brushed up.

As soon as he walked to the door, an urgent report blocked Lu Bu back, Lu Bu dismantled it, but it was Liu Ze who had defeated Yuan Shu's 100,000 army in Xuyi, and at this time he was already waving his army to the north, pointing directly at Tancheng.

Lu Bu felt the severity of the situation, he thought that Liu Ze and Yuan Shu were holding each other in Huainan, even if Liu Ze was undefeated, he might not be able to win in a short time, and he had enough time to digest and absorb the fruits of Xuzhou's victory. Although Tancheng was taken, the three counties of Pengcheng, Xiapi, and Guangling were still in Liu Ze's hands, and Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, and Zhang He, who guarded the three counties, were all Liu Ze's henchmen, and Lu Bu didn't even have the idea of persuading him to surrender. Although Kaiyang's Zang Ba is not Liu Ze's subordinate, he has been self-reliant for a long time, Tao Qian and Liu Ze did not return to obedience during the reign of Liu Ze, Lu Bu tried to send someone to appease him, and promised to be a high-ranking official, but Zang Ba did not eat this set at all, and returned the gift sent by Lu Bu intact. Gao Shun was furious about this, and asked Lu Bu for orders to lead the army to attack Zang Ba, but Lu Bu did not agree, and now the top priority is how to deal with Liu Ze's counterattack, and Zang Ba still doesn't move.

Lu Bu blackened his face, turned back, and stuffed the general's newspaper into the hands of Chen Gong, who was still standing there.

Chen Gong glanced at it, and also gasped, this Liu Ze came so quickly, he didn't give Lu Bu any respite at all, not to mention that Liu Ze defeated Yuan Shu's army of 100,000 in such a short time, how terrifying his combat power was. Chen Gong didn't care about the awkwardness of Shangcai and Lu Bu, Liu Ze came very quickly, and he could reach Tancheng within three or five days, and he had to come up with effective defensive means, otherwise he could only sit and wait for death.

"Lord, Liu Ze will return to the north, he will go to Yishui Pass, and he can send a capable general to guard this pass, as long as he can hold on to the rest of the month, after the lord settles Xuzhou, he will be able to fight with Liu Ze."

From his words, Lu Bu immediately ordered Zhang Liao to lead 5,000 troops with Song Xian as the main general and the deputy general to guard the Yishui Pass to block Liu Ze's northward advance.

After Zhang Liao and Song Xian were ordered, they immediately ordered 5,000 soldiers and horses to go to Yishui Pass. Liu Ze's army was really fast, and the day after Zhang Liao arrived at Yishui Pass, he had already arrived at Yishui Pass.

Since Lu Bu's army was stationed at Yishui Pass, Liu Ze ordered the army to camp in front of Yishui Pass, and summoned the generals to discuss how to enter Xuzhou.

Xu Shu took the lead and said: "Yishui Pass is east of Yimeng Mountain, west of Yishui, the terrain is treacherous, Lu Bu's army is guarded by the pass, if our army wants to attack, it will inevitably pay a great price of casualties, it is better to turn northwest and take Lanling, which can not only avoid the enemy of Yishui Pass, but also cut off the connection between Tancheng and Xiaopei, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone." ”

Zhang Fei said angrily: "Fearing the enemy in battle, is it our military style?" Big brother, give me a team of people, and tonight I will go to steal the pass, and I will take Yishui Pass. ”

Liu Ze shook his head and said: "When Lu Bu first entered Xuzhou, the people's hearts are undecided, if we can reach the city of Xuzhou with lightning speed, Lu Bu will definitely be afraid, and the people of Xuzhou will be old-minded, and they can also be used by us." If we travel to Lanling, we will inevitably lose the opportunity to win a decisive victory with Lu Bu, so we must quickly capture Yishui Pass and take Tancheng directly. ”

Zhang Fei laughed and said: "It's still the eldest brother's idea is right, how can you say that the eldest brother agreed to my night attack on Yishuiguan?" ”

Liu Ze said: "Zhang Liao is the chief general under Lu Bu's account, this person has a deep strategy, is familiar with the art of war, and cannot be despised for stealing camps and robbing villages. "What kind of character Zhang Liao is, Liu Ze knows better than anyone else, in the Cao Wei camp with bright stars, Zhang Liao can rank first among the five good generals, it is really not a waste of fame, Zhang Feiyong is brave, if you really play a high-tech robbery camp with Zhang Liao, you can't even lose your pants.

Zhang Fei said unconvinced: "Then you can't steal the camp or rob the village, so big brother, do you want to attack?" ”

Zhang Liao defended with danger, and if he attacked strongly, it would inevitably increase the cost of casualties, Liu Ze muttered: "If you want to take Yishui Pass, you have to think of a perfect strategy." ”

At this time, Guan Yu stepped forward and said: "Big brother, I have a slight friendship with Zhang Liao, I know that this person is loyal and honest, and he is quite honest. ”

Liu Ze nodded in agreement, and the next day, Liu Ze's army arrived at Yishui Pass and challenged the pass. Zhang Liao was reluctant to fight, but Song Xian was not convinced, and said: "Wen Hou is a hero of the world, and we are Wen Hou's subordinates, how can we be people who hide their heads and shrink their tails, increase the morale of the enemy, and destroy their own prestige!" If General Zhang is timid, you just have to stay and wait for someone to come to fight! ”

Since Song Xian insisted on fighting, Zhang Liao thought about it for a while, if he stubbornly defended, it would inevitably make morale low, it was better to go out of the pass and fight first, and the victory would stimulate morale, and it would not hurt to retreat to defend the pass if he was defeated, so he agreed to Song Xian's request to go to war, and ordered half of the men and horses to guard the pass and half of the men and horses to fight.

The two armies faced each other, Guan Yu jumped on his horse and crossed his sword, standing proudly in front of the formation, shouting: "Who dares to fight with a certain one!" ”

Song Xian snorted coldly, and was about to step forward with a spear, Zhang Liao stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Guan Yu is brave, Yan Liangwen is still invincible, General Song can't go into battle, Zhang will meet him." Zhang Liao held the halberd in one hand, urged the horse out, and went straight to Guan Yu.

Zhang Liao's move was originally well-intentioned, he knew that with Song Xian's martial arts, he was not Guan Yu's opponent at all, and he could only mistake Qingqing's life if he went into battle, but Song Xian was not happy in his heart, Zhang Liao wanted to stick to his insistence on fighting, and Zhang Liao also came out, at this time he was going to fight, but Zhang Liao was not allowed to go up, this was obviously Zhang Liao wanted to grab the credit, Song Xian couldn't help but feel resentful.

Song Xian's mind Zhang Liao is naturally flawless, once he goes into battle, his mind is completely on the opponent, the sword and gun have no eyes, and if he is not careful, he may die in Huangquan. Zhang Liao grabbed the reins ten zhang away from Guan Yu's horse's head, put his halberd in front of his chest, clasped his hands into fists and bowed slightly, and said, "Brother Yun, don't come to harm?"
