Dian Wei killed to the drawbridge, turned around and disappeared Cao Cao, turned over and killed into the city again, and hit Li Dian under the door. Dian Wei asked, "Where are you?" He said, "I can't find it either." He said: "You are urging the rescue troops inside and outside the city, and I will go in to find you." "Li Dian went. Dian Wei entered the city and searched for it; Rushed out of the moat outside the city again, bumping into Lejin. Jin said, "Where are you?" He said: "I went back and forth twice: and soon I was out of sight." Jin said: "Let's go in and save the princess!" The two of them went to the door", the artillery in the city rolled down, and the Lejin horse could not enter. Dian Wei burst into flames and smoked, and went in again, looking everywhere.

Besides, Cao Cao saw that Dian Wei had been killed, and the people and horses in all directions were cut off, and he couldn't pass from the south gate; Turning to the north gate again, in the firelight, I saw Lu Bu riding a halberd and riding a horse. Cao Cao covered his face with his hands and overtook his horse with a whip.

Lu Bu came from behind, struck the halberd on Cao Cao's helmet, and asked, "Where is Cao Cao?" “

Cao Cao pointed out on the contrary and said, "He is riding a yellow horse in front. ”

Lü Bu listened to the persuasion, gave up Cao Cao, and chased forward on horseback. Cao Cao turned his horse's head, looked at the east gate and ran, and met Dian Wei.

Dian Wei protected Cao Cao, killed a bloody road, to the city gate, the flame was very large, the city pushed down the firewood and grass, there was fire everywhere, Dian Wei used a halberd to pull away, and Pegasus smoked and burst into flames first.

Cao Cao then came out as well. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the road, a beam of fire died on the city gate, and it was hitting the crotch of Cao Cao's war horse, and the horse fell.

Cao Cao pushed the ground with a hand jocket, and his arms were about to be fired, and all of them were burned by the fire. Dian Wei returned to Ma to rescue, and it happened that Xiahou Yuan also arrived. The two rescued Cao Cao and broke out of the fire. Cao Cao rode Xiahou Yuan's horse, and Dian Wei ran away. In the melee until dawn, Cao Cao was returning to the village.

Everyone wanted to kneel down and say hello, Cao Cao looked up and said with a smile: "I will definitely repay them for my plan to use civilians to persecute me!" “

Guo Jia said: "It is estimated that we can set off quickly. Cao Cao said: "Now only the calculation will be taken into account: pretend that I was burned by fire and am already dead." Bu Yao led his troops to attack. We lay in ambush in the Maling Mountains and waited for his army to cross half before attacking them, and Bu Ke was captured. Win said, "What a good idea!" So he ordered the soldiers to hang filial piety and mourn, lying **. Someone had already come to Puyang to repay Lu Bu, saying that Cao Cao was burned by fire and died in the village. The distribution picks up the military horses and kills the horses in the mountains. When he arrived at Cao Cao's camp, a drum sounded, and the ambush was everywhere. Lu Bu desperately escaped and broke many people; Failed to return to Puyang, and held on.

This year the locusts suddenly rose up and finished eating the rice. In the eastern part of the Kanto border, every valley is worth ten straight money, and the people eat. Cao Cao ran out of food in the army and led his troops back to Juancheng to pause. Lu Bu also led his troops out of the city and stationed in Shanyang to eat. Because of the temporary truce between these two places.

Besides, Tao Qian was in Xuzhou, he was sixty-three years old at the time, and suddenly he had an infectious disease, so he asked Mi Zhu and Chen Deng to discuss things. Mi Zhu said: "Cao Bing's departure was only because of Lu Bu's attack on Yanzhou. Now because of the truce in the famine year, the next spring will come again. You wanted to give way to Liu Bei twice, but you were still strong at this time, so Liu Bei refused to accept it; Now that the condition is serious, it is suitable to give Xuzhou to them at this time, and Liu Bei refuses to say goodbye. ”

said that he was very happy and asked someone else to come to Xiaopei: Ask Liu Bei to discuss military affairs. Liu Bei took Guan Yu and Zhang Fei to Xuzhou with dozens of cavalry, and Tao Qian taught me to enter the bedroom. Xuande asked how it ended, and Tao Qian said: "Please come to Xuande Gong for nothing else: just because I am old and critically ill, and it is difficult to protect day and night; I hope that you pity the Han family city and accept the Xuzhou brand seal, and the old man will be blinded when he dies! “

Liu Bei said: "You have two sons, why don't you give Xuzhou to them?" “

Tao Qian said: "The eldest son is in business, and the second son is still young, and neither of them can manage a state. After the old man dies, I hope you will teach them again, and never let them be in charge of state affairs. “

Liu Bei said: "How can Liu Bei take on such a heavy responsibility alone? “

Liu Bei said: "I recommend a person who can be a public assistant: a native of Beihai, surnamed Sun, named Qian, and the word Gongyou." This person can let him do what you do. “

He also said to Mi Zhu: "Liu Bei is a contemporary masterpiece, you should serve him well." “

Liu Bei was a prevarication after all, and Tao Qian died with his fingers.

After the army mourned, they handed over the plaque seal to Liu Bei. Liu Bei resolutely refused.

The next day, the people of Xuzhou cried in front of the crowded mansion and said: "General Liu, if you don't take this county, we won't be able to live in peace!" ”

Guan and Xu Ertai also repeatedly comforted. Liu Bei then promised Tao Qian to lead the affairs of Xuzhou; Let Sun Qian and Mi Zhu be auxiliary, and Chen Deng be the shogunate official; put Xiaopei's military horses into the city and went out of the list to settle the people; On the one hand, funeral arrangements are arranged.

Liu Bei and the soldiers, all of whom were hung with filial piety, were buried at the source of the Yellow River after the sacrifice was completed.

Will Tao Qian's posthumous table, Shen played the imperial court. Cao Cao was in Juancheng, knowing that Tao Qian was dead, and Liu Bei concurrently served as the pastor of Xuzhou, and said angrily: "I haven't avenged my revenge yet, you don't have to spend half a little effort, sit down in Xuzhou's assassination history!" I will kill Liu Bei first, and then whip Tao Qian's corpse, with the resentment of Xue Xianjun! ”

He passed down the order and regularly sent troops to fight Xuzhou. Xun You or exhortation: "In the past, Gaozu protected Guanzhong, Emperor Guangwu occupied Hanoi, and they all consolidated their bases to control the world, and they were able to defeat the enemy and retreat, so although there were difficulties, they finally completed the great cause. You are the first minister, and the Yellow River and Jishui are dangerous places in the world, which are also Guanzhong and Hanoi in the past. Now if Xuzhou is left, it will not be enough to keep more soldiers, and if there are fewer soldiers, Lu Bu will take advantage of the situation to invade, which is not subordinate. If Xuzhou can't, it means that the public security is home, right? Now that Tao Qian is dead, there are already people to defend him. The people of Xuzhou have already subdued Liu Bei and must help prepare for a decisive battle. You give up the division and capture Xuzhou, which is to give up the big and small, leave the original and seek the end, in order to be safe and prone to danger. Think about it. “

Cao Cao said: "Now that there is a famine and lack of food, it is not a good way for the soldiers to sit and stay here after all. ”

Xun You said: "It's better to go east and send troops to eat Runan and Yingchuan." Huang Turban, Huang Shao, etc., hijacked and plundered the state and county, there were a lot of gold silks, grain, and these thieves, and they were easy to break; In order to feed the three armies, the court is very happy, and the people are very happy, which is to comply with the will of heaven and the will of the people. ”

Cao Cao's squad returned to the court, Cao Ren and Xiahoudun received him, and the secret agent reported: "Recently, Yanzhou Xue Lan and Li Feng soldiers have come out to loot, and the city is empty, and the victorious army can attack with one drum. Cao Cao led his army straight to Si Li.

Xue Lan and Li Feng took them by surprise and had to lead their troops out of the city to face the battle. Dian Wei said: "I hope to take these two people as a gift of etiquette. “

Cao Cao was very happy, so he ordered the battle. Li Feng drew a halberd and stepped forward to greet him. After two rounds of fighting, Xu Chu killed Li Feng under the horse. Hurriedly fled back to the position Xue Lan, and Li Dian stopped him by the drawbridge. Xue Lan did not dare to return to the city, so he led his army to Juye; But he was driven by Lu Qian's flying horse, and an arrow was shot under the horse, and the army was scattered. Cao Cao got Si Li again, and Cheng Yu asked for troops to attack Puyang. Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu and Dian Wei to be the vanguard, Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan to be the left army, Li Dian and Le Sheng to be the right army, and Cao Cao personally led the middle army, and served as the rear of the alliance in Ban and Lü Qian.

When the army arrived in Puyang, Lu Bu thought that he was going out of the city to greet him, and Yao Guangxiao persuaded him: "Don't go to war." Wait until the congregation has gathered. ”

Lu Bu said: "Who am I afraid of?" ”

So he didn't let Yao Guangxiao say, led the troops out of the battle, and scolded him. Dian Wei came out. The two fought for more than 20 rounds, regardless of victory or defeat. Cao Cao said: "Lu Bu is not a person who can win. ”

sent Dian Wei to help in the battle, and the two armies attacked; Xiahou and Xiahou Yuan on the left, Li Dian and Le Jin on the right, and six generals attacked Lu Bu together. Lu Bu couldn't stop it, so he turned his horse back to the city. The Chengsuetian clan, seeing that Lu Bu's soldiers were defeated, hurriedly asked someone to pull up the suspension bridge.

Lu Bu shouted and said, "Open the city gate!" “、

Tian said: "I have surrendered to General Cao. ”

Lu Bu scolded and led the army to Dingtao. Yao Guangxiao 0 hurriedly opened the east gate to protect Lu Bu from the city. Cao Cao went to Hongnong and forgave Tian's past sins.
