Chen Deng pretended to know and left.

In the evening, when he went to Guanshang to look, he found that Cao Cao's army was very close, so in a dark corner, he wrote three letters, all tied to his bow and arrows, and shot down.

On the second day, he said goodbye to Chen Gong and went to see Lu Bu, saying: "I went to check on the close, and found that Sun Guan was a little strange, I went to the side to eavesdrop, and found that he actually wanted to surrender to Cao Cao, I have already told Chen Gong that the general can kill and save Ying at dusk." ”

Lu Bu sighed: "If you hadn't discovered it in time, then this pass would have been over." So let Chen Deng take the cavalry to the pass first, form an internal response with Chen Gong, and raise fire as a signal.

So Chen Deng went to find Chen Gong and said: "I just got the information, part of the Cao army entered the pass from the path, I'm afraid that Xuzhou is in danger, the lord asked you to go back to the rescue quickly!" ”

Chen Gong didn't distinguish it carefully, and immediately led everyone to abandon the pass.

Seeing that Chen Gong had gone away, Chen Deng immediately set fire to the gate, Lu Bu took advantage of the night to kill, and met Chen Gong's army on the way, because the situation was not clear, the two teams fought in the night.

Outside, Cao Jun saw the fire, knew that it was a fire, and attacked together, Sun saw this situation and fled directly, Lu Bu didn't understand the plan until dawn, and hurriedly stopped fighting with Chen Gong and returned to Xuzhou.

When I arrived near the city gate, I was about to call for someone to lower the drawbridge, but I didn't expect the arrows to be shot. Mi Zhu's figure appeared on the city wall, shouting: "You have seized my lord's city, and now you should return it to him, and now you can no longer enter!" ”

Lu Bu was furious and said, "Where is Chen Jue?" ”

Mi Zhu said: "He has already been killed by me!" ”

Lu Bu turned around and asked Chen Gong, "Where is Chen Deng?" ”

Chen Gong said: "Why is the general still obsessed with the whereabouts of these two thieves? ”

Lu Bu sent someone to count the number of people, but he couldn't find Chen Deng's people, Chen Gong persuaded Lu Bu to go to Xiaopei, and Lu Bu agreed.

Halfway through, I suddenly found that there was a group of people who had been killed, and I was waiting to do it before I found out that it was my own people, officially Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.

Lu Bu asked the reason and replied: "It was Chen Deng who sent someone to report that the lord was besieged and needed us to rescue. ”

Chen Gong clapped his hands and said, "This is his ploy again!" ”

Lu Bu said angrily: "I swore to kill Chen Deng. ”

Then continue to walk in the direction of Xiaopei, and when you reach the bottom of the city, you find that the city wall is full of Cao Cao's banners.

It turned out that Cao Cao had sent Cao Ren to attack the city and was guarding it, and Lu Bu was shouting and scolding Chen Deng under the city.

Chen Deng also appeared on the city wall at this time, and said: "I was originally a courtier of the Han Dynasty, how could I give you advice?" ”

Lu Bu was even more angry after hearing this, and hurriedly attacked the city, and suddenly heard a loud shout behind him, and another pair of men and horses were killed, and the leader of the military general was Zhang Fei, Gao Shun went out to fight, not an opponent, Lu Bu personally went on, and was fighting, and suddenly there was a shout, it was Cao Cao who personally led a large army to come, and Lu Bu knew that he would definitely not be an opponent if he went on like this, so he walked to the east with his soldiers and horses.

Cao Jun hurriedly chased after him, Lu Bu walked so sleepy that suddenly there was a large army blocking the way, and the first general, immediately crossed the knife and shouted: "Lu Buxiu go!" Guan is here! ”

Lu Bu could only hurriedly face the battle, Zhang Fei came over behind him, although Lu Bu was brave, but he also understood the truth that two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, and he had no intention of fighting, so he fought a bloody road, walked in the direction of Xiapi, and Hou Cheng led troops to answer.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei got together, held each other's hands tightly, and prepared to talk about the separation.

Guan Yu said: "I rushed over when I heard the news on Haizhou Road. ”

Zhang Fei said: "After being separated that day, I also lived in Mangdang Mountain for some time, and I was able to see each other today." ”

The two said something again, and then took the soldiers and horses together to find Liu Bei and Yuyi, and when they saw the two, Guan Yu and Zhang Feibai fell to the ground, leaving tears, Yuyi's eyes were also moist, and Liu Bei next to him was also mixed with joy and sorrow, and he choked up for a while, took the two to see Cao Cao, and then entered Xuzhou with Cao Cao.

Mi Zhu opened the city gate to greet him and told Liu Bei that there was nothing wrong with his family, Liu Bei was even happier, and then Chen Jue and his son also came to Cao Cao to pay homage, and Cao Cao set up a big banquet to personally treat the generals.

Cao Cao sat in the middle, Chen Jue was on the right, Xuande was on the left, and the other soldiers were seated casually, after the banquet, Cao Cao rewarded Chen Jue and his son for their merits in this battle, and crowned the Lu of the ten counties, and awarded Chen Deng as the general of Fubo.

Basically, it didn't take a lot of effort to take Xuzhou, Cao Cao was very happy, because he wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, so after the banquet, he didn't rest for long, and he had to discuss raising troops to attack Xiapi.

Cheng Yu said: "Now Lu Bu only has the city of Xiapi, if we force it too quickly, will it have the opposite effect, let him fight to the death to take refuge in Yuan Shu, if Lu Bu and Yuan Shu are allied, then the difficulty of attacking him will increase, and now the best way is to send a general to guard the road in the direction of Huainan, defend Lu Bu internally, and Yuan Shu externally, and now there are Zang Ba and Sun Guan in Shandong who are not attached, and they can't be unguarded." ”

Cao Cao nodded and said, "I'll guard the current road in Shandong, and I'll ask Brother Liu Bei to go over there." ”

Liu Bei bowed, agreed, and said, "How could I disobey the prime minister's order?" ”

On the second day, Liu Bei left Mi Zhu, Jian Yong, and Sun Qian in Xuzhou, and he took Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, and Yuyi with soldiers and horses to guard the road, and Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Xiapi.

Fortunately, at that time, Chen Deng asked Lu Bu to transfer grain, grass and money, and Lu Bu felt that he had a lot of food in Xiapi, and Surabaya was a natural hazard, so he was at ease to cultivate in the city without any sense of crisis.

After Chen Gong learned the news of Cao Cao's troops, he persuaded: "Now that Cao Cao's army is coming, you can take advantage of his unpreparedness, wait for work, and there is nothing that is not victorious." ”

Lu Budao: "We just lost the battle, lost 2 cities, we can't attack easily, when he comes, I will attack him, then the Cao army will fall into Surabaya." ”

Chen Gong persuaded again, but Lu Bu just didn't listen, and after a few days, Cao Cao had already set up camp, led the soldiers and horses to the city, and shouted that Lu Bu came out to answer.

Cao Cao said: "I heard that you are going to marry Yuan Shu, so I led the soldiers and horses to this place, you must know that Yuan Shu has the great crime of rebellion, but you have the merit of crusading against Dong Zhuo, why give up your own merit and go with the thief?" If the city is broken, then it will be too late for you to regret it! If you surrender early, we will jointly assist the Han family, and you may still be able to become a prince! ”

Lu Bu felt very excited after hearing this, and said: "Prime Minister, you leave first, please let me go back and think about this matter, and talk about it later!" ”

Chen Gong took advantage of the two to chat, and suddenly shot an arrow at Cao **, Cao Cao was defenseless and was shot in the cover, and then Chen Gong pointed at Cao Cao and scolded the traitor.

Cao Cao was naturally very angry and replied, "I swear to kill you!" ”
