The big knife slashed towards his waist, and Cao Xuan hurriedly flipped his arm, wanting to use the barrel of the gun to push the big knife away.

At this moment, the big knife in Xiahoudun's hand suddenly changed its angle and poked at Cao Xing's lower abdomen.

Before the barrel of the gun touched the big knife, Cao Xing only felt a sudden pain in his lower abdomen, and then he felt that his body left the horse's back, and he was actually stabbed through the abdomen by Xiahou Dun and picked him up.

The eye was blinded by Cao Xing, and Xiahoudun picked Cao Xuan with a knife and threw Cao Xing, who was not yet dead, to the ground.

As soon as his body fell to the ground, Cao Xuan rolled a few times in a row, and before he could stabilize, Xiahoudun had already followed, and the big knife fell down to him and stabbed him in the chest again.

Cao Xing was killed in battle, and the cavalry of the Lü Bu army who followed him to fight with the Cao army was quickly wiped out by the Cao army.

Nearly 1,000 Lu Bu soldiers did not escape, and all of them died on the battlefield.

A battle involving only a few thousand people turned out to be more bloody and brutal than the battle of tens of thousands.

"General, the enemy's food fleet is already far away......" After the Lu Bu army was wiped out, a Cao army officer covered in blood came to Xiahoudun, who had only one eye left, and said to him with a fist: "I'm afraid it's too late to catch up!" ”

Losing an eye, although he killed Cao Xing, he lost the opportunity to chase Lu Bu's army food team, Xiahou was full of chagrin and poked the big knife in his hand to the ground, and his cheeks, which were still stained with blood, trembled violently.

The grain and grass escorted by Cao Xing successfully arrived in Xuzhou.

Lu Bujun, who could transport grain, did not have the excitement of completing the task.

The team of more than 1,000 people was intercepted by Cao's army in the middle of the road, and most of them, including the main general Cao Xing, were killed in battle, and only 100 people returned to Xuzhou Chengnei.

On the city wall of Xuzhou, after learning that Cao Xing had died in battle, Lu Bu stood on the edge of the battlement and looked out of the city, without saying a word for a long time.

Chen Gong stood behind Lu Bu, looked out of the city with him, and said to Lu Bu after a long time: "Cao's army has already intercepted the military rations in the middle of the road, and our army is afraid that it will be ......."

"I'm afraid there will be no more military rations in the future......" Before Chen Gong finished speaking, Lu Bu took over and said: "Has the public platform investigated how long the military rations transported into the city this time can support our army?" ”

"Two months." Looking out of the city, Chen Gong was also full of worry, and said to Lu Bu: "The Cao army has arrived, and the follow-up military rations have not yet arrived, once the military rations are exhausted......

Lu Bu didn't speak, and looked silently outside the city for a long time.

Cao Cao's army had already entered the territory of Xuzhou, and there was almost no decent resistance along the way, and two days after the last batch of military rations of Lü Bu's army was transported into the city, it had already arrived near Xuzhou.

In the camp of the Cao army that had just been stationed, Cao Cao knelt in the tent, and in front of him stood Xiahoudun, who was blinded by Cao Xing's shooting in one eye.

"Cao Gong...... The last general ...... bowed down with his fists, mentioning that Lu Bu's army's military rations were successfully transported into the city, Xiahoudun said to Cao Cao with a guilty face: "The last general's failure to intercept the enemy's grain and grass is a capital crime!" I implore Cao Gong to surrender! ”

"Yuan Rang's eyes ......?" Cao Cao did not dwell on the success of Lü Bujun's military grain into the city, but stared at Xiahou Dan's face and asked him, "When?" ”

"Return to Cao Gong!" Maintaining the posture of clenching his fists and bowing, Xiahoudun said to Cao Cao with a little guilt in his expression: "It was to shoot blind the enemy general when he robbed the enemy's military rations. ”

Hearing that Xiahoudun's eyes were blinded by the enemy general, Cao Cao hurriedly stood up, strode in front of him, took his hands up, stared at his blinded eyes, and said very heartbrokenly: "Yuan Rang suffered!" ”

"Cao Gong ......" was held by Cao Cao with both hands, not only did he not receive half of the blame, but Cao Cao was full of distress and said to him that he was suffering, which suddenly made Xiahou Xuan's remaining eyes a little tearful, and choked up and said to Cao Cao: "The last general is incompetent, he actually watched the enemy send military rations into the city!" ”

"Yuan Rang and Man Cheng won Xiaopei, and guarded it for a winter, it is already hard work!" Cao Cao didn't mean to reproach Xiahoudun at all, but said comfortingly: "Don't mind this matter, attack the city in the future, and Yuan Rang will make meritorious service again!" ”

His hands were held by Cao Cao, and Xiahoudun's remaining eyes were filled with tears, and he was choked up and couldn't continue.

"Someone!" Holding Xiahoudun's hand, Cao Cao turned his head and shouted outside the tent.

A personal soldier entered the tent in response, and bowed to Cao Cao and Xiahoudun with his fists clenched.

"Hurry up and order the quartermaster to prepare an ink-colored silk handkerchief to cover Yuan Rang's eyes!" He gave an order to the soldiers standing at the tent, and when the soldiers left, Cao Cao said to Xiahoudun: "Our army has besieged the city for a few days, and Yuan has let Haosheng rest, and when he besieges the city, he will go with a certain person to take the head of Lu Bu!" ”

"Obey Cao Gong's orders!" originally thought that seeing Lu Bujun send military rations into the city, he would have to be reprimanded by Cao Cao, but he didn't expect that not only was he not reprimanded, but Cao Cao also ordered the military quartermaster to prepare a black cloth for him to cover his eyes.

A few days later, Cao's army launched fierce attacks on Xuzhou, and the news soon reached Liu Wei in Luoyang City.

Knowing that Cao Xing died in battle, Xiahoudun was shot blind in one eye, and Lu Bujun's military rations were successfully transported into Xuzhou, Liu Wei did not say anything for a long time, but his brows were tightly twisted, and his expression showed a little worry.

"Your Highness!" Sitting in the hall with Liu Wei, there were also Xu Shu, Pang Tong, Jia Xu and others, seeing Liu Wei's expression of worry, Xu Shu hugged his fists and said to him: "Cao Jun has already attacked Xuzhou, and I can't defend it for a long time if I want to come to Xuzhou!" ”

"If Xuzhou is short of food, this king is powerless!" A rather helpless smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, Liu Wei looked around at the servants sitting in the hall and said to them: "If you want to transport grain and grass into Xuzhou, this king must send soldiers and horses to fight Cao's army. If this is the case, this king and Cao Cao are probably going to fall into a protracted war! ”

Everyone in the hall was speechless, one by one just bowed their heads and was silent, and after a while, Xu Shu continued to say to Liu Wei: "General Deng has already led the dragoon guards into Xuzhou, and I think that Lu Bu's life should be safe." Now there are more than three months before the summer harvest, and the area around Xuzhou is a lonely city, and it is ...... to delay our army to Huainan in March."

"What the military advisor said is very true!" Before Xu Shu finished speaking, Liu Wei nodded and said: "If Lu Bu can't hold it for three months, before our army enters Huainan, Cao's army is already approaching Shouchun, and when our army goes south, there will be a lot of passivity." ”

"Your Highness!" As soon as Liu Wei expressed his worries, Jia Xu, who had never spoken, stood up, clenched his fists and said to him: "Your Majesty has a plan!" ”

"Oh?" Hearing that Jia Xu said that he had a plan, Liu Wei turned his head to look at him and asked him, "I don't know what Wenhe has planned?" ”

"Daqin's grain and grass are really insufficient to support the expedition of the army, but there is not much pressure to send a force of less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to Xuzhou!" He bowed to Liu Wei with his fists in his fists, and Jia Xu said to him: "Your Highness can order any of the guards in the Tiger Ben or Yulin to go to Xuzhou, in the name of exterminating Lu Bu, but camp behind Cao's army......

"Wen He is ...... mean?" As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, Liu Wei's eyes lit up and asked him: "It's just a bluff, don't fight Cao Cao, and don't beat Lu Bu!" ”

"Exactly!" Maintaining a fist-hugging posture, Jia Xu then said to Liu Wei: "Our army is camped behind Cao's army, although in the name of attacking Lu Bu, Cao Cao is suspicious and will definitely not be unguarded, and Lu Bu knows that our army has arrived, and the news he gets may be that our army will attack them, but who is Chen Gong?" You can definitely see that the name of our army is attacking, and it is really solidarity! ”

"Wen He, don't forget Guo Fengxiao!" As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, Pang Tong pinched his chin and said thoughtfully: "Chen Gong can see the intentions of our army, and Guo Jia must be able to see it too." ”

"Chen Gong is different from Guo Jia!" Putting down his fist-hugging hands, Jia Xu smiled at Pang Tong and said: "Chen Gong is now trapped in Xuzhou with Lu Bu, and he has fallen into death, but Guo Jia is besieging Xuzhou with Cao Cao, there will be a battle between His Highness and Cao Cao sooner or later, I know, Guo Jia also knows!" Our army's tiger guards are behind Cao Jun, how can Guo Jia not guard against it? ”

"Your Highness!" As soon as Jia Xu's words fell, Pang Tong stood up and clenched his fists and said to Liu Wei: "Our army is stationed behind Cao's army, if Guo Jia wants to take more precautions against our army, we still need to do more!" ”

"What?" After thinking about it briefly, Liu Wei felt that what Jia Xu and Pang Tong said made some sense, and when Pang Tong said that there was still something else that needed to be done to cause Guo Jia to be more vigilant against the Luoyang Army, he hurriedly asked Pang Tong.

"Tiger Benwei arrived in Xuzhou, His Royal Highness can order General Zilong to let the soldiers and Cao soldiers often have friction, and the soldiers on both sides sometimes make small troubles, so Guo Jia has to guard against our army!" With both hands clenched into fists, Jia Xu bowed to Liu Wei and said: "Our army does not need Cao Jun to send a large number of soldiers and horses to guard against it, as long as Cao Jun is psychologically afraid of our army!" ”

Pressing his chin with one hand, Liu Wei pondered for a moment before looking at the servants in the hall and asking them, "Do you have any objections?" ”

They looked at each other and shook their heads.

Seeing that they had the same opinion, Liu Wei shouted outside the hall: "Someone! ”

Hearing the call, a guard hurriedly stepped into the hall, and stood at the door with his fists clenched, waiting for Liu Wei's orders.

"Pass the order, and General Zhao Yun will immediately prepare troops and horses to go to Xuzhou!" Looking at the soldiers standing at the door of the front hall, Liu Wei ordered: "Before the army sets out, please General Zhao come to meet this king, this king has something to say to him!" ”

"No!" The guard clenched his fists in response, and turned over to leave the antechamber.

Liu Wei looked around at the people in the hall and said to them: "These days, this king has been concentrating on studying how to bring the siege vehicle with him to the expedition, and now he has finally found some doorways, can you take a look together?" ”

Knowing that Liu Wei had found a way to allow the siege vehicles to move, Xu Shu first glanced at each other, and then hugged his fists together and said to Liu Wei: "Your Highness is proficient in heavenly work, I beg you to take a look!" ”
