Since Lu Bu released Diao Chan, Yan's jealousy began to make trouble again, but fortunately, Lu Bu's mind was on the war, and he didn't meet Diao Chan much, so he didn't have a seizure.

And Yuyi's information is through Diao Chan, he hid the underground intelligence network in the people of Xiapi City, and sent letters through carrier pigeons, and several times Yan was ready to go to find Diao Chan, and found that Diao Chan was always a mysterious person, so he felt a little strange, and he went to follow but always couldn't find it.

All the money and grain in Xuzhou were transferred to Xiapi, so as long as Lu Bu did not go out of the city, then the food was enough to eat, but on Cao Cao's side, the transportation line was a little long, and the siege was unbearable for a long time.

Cao Cao besieged Xiapi for two months, but still did not take it, and suddenly someone came to report, saying: "Hanoi Taishou Zhang Yang sent troops to Dongshi, wanted to save Lu Bu, and the general Yang Chou killed him, and wanted to dedicate his head to the prime minister, but was killed by Zhang Yang's henchman and military general Zhenggu, and finally defected to Dog City." ”

This news made Cao Cao think of other crises, and immediately sent Shi Jian to chase and kill Zhenggu, and then convened a meeting of everyone, and said: "Although Zhang Yang has perished, there is the scourge of Yuan Shao in the north, Liu Biao and Zhang Xiu in the east, and Xiapi is now unable to attack for a long time, I don't think it will be possible to withdraw the troops besieging Xiapi, return to Xudu, and temporarily stop this war?" ”

Xun You hurriedly came out to stop it, and said: "This doesn't work, Lu Bu has no sharp spirit now, he has failed so many times, and he has no will to fight, although Chen Gong gave him advice, but Lu Bu can't listen well, now Lu Bu's vitality has not recovered, Chen Gong's plan has not been implemented, you can quickly attack him, and Lu Bu can be captured." ”

Guo Jia added: "I have an idea that I can immediately break the city of Xiapi, which is stronger than 200,000 troops. ”

Xun Yu nodded and said with a smile: "Is it using Yi and Sishui water?" ”

Guo Jia smiled: "Yes, that's right!" ”

Cao Cao immediately understood, and ordered the soldiers to destroy the embankments of the two rivers, and then ordered the soldiers to stand on a high place and observe the situation in Xiapi.

Liu Bei got the news early and was ready to transfer, Yuyi also sorted out the things, Liu Bei asked: "Okay, why did Cao Cao break the embankment of the two rivers!" ”

Yu Yi said: "This is to flood Pi, let Lu Bu's army lose its combat effectiveness, and then break the city!" ”

Liu Bei sighed: "This is a good plan, but this does not take the people of Xiapi City into account." ”

Liu Bei said this, Yuyi also thought of a point, that is, Diao Chan's safety, and I don't know if she can swim, thinking in her heart that if she attacks for a while, she must lean in front to save Diao Chan.

The season coincided with the rainy season, and only the east gate of the city of Xiapi had no water, and all the other gates were flooded, and everyone went to report to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu disagreed, and said: "I have a red rabbit horse, in the water is like being on the flat ground, what is there to be afraid of!" ”

Still drinking with Diao Chan and Yan's family, in the back Diao Chan went to the market to find a medicine, which is a chronic poison, Lu Bu drinks like this every day, in addition to drinking and hurting the liver, there is also the chronic poison that is also working, the appearance looks very terrifying, and the body has lost a lot of weight.

One day, someone admonished him, but Lu Bu didn't listen, and beheaded the man, turned around and found a mirror, and found that he had indeed lost a lot of weight, so he sighed: "It's not good, I've been miserable by alcohol, from today onwards, I must quit!" So he commanded that everyone in the city who drank wine should be killed.

Diao Chan just smiled after hearing this, Lu Bu has been either drinking every day for the past two months, or a matter of men and women, let him have full of physical strength and internal strength, and he has been almost consumed, and then the effect of that chronic poison, I am afraid that if Cao Cao does not attack the city, he will die in the city first.

In Xiapi, Hou Cheng had fifteen horses, and someone stole these horses and wanted to give them to Liu Bei, but he found out, killed them on the spot, recaptured the horses, and the generals congratulated him.

Hou Cheng got carried away for a while, remembering that he had brewed five or six dendrobs of wine, and wanted to drink it with the generals, but he was afraid that Lu Bu would be guilty, so he first sent five bottles of wine to Lu Bu and reported: "Thanks to the general's tiger might, I can get the lost horse back, and the generals came to congratulate, I brewed some good wine some time ago, and I didn't dare to drink it first, so I specially dedicated him to the lord." ”

Lu Bu was furious when he heard this, and said: "I just started to ban alcohol, but you secretly steal wine, are you trying to murder me!" After speaking, he ordered to be dragged out and beheaded, and Song Xian, Wei Xu and other generals all entered to beg for mercy.

Lu Bu had no choice but to give a step and said, "You deliberately violated my rules, and you should have been beheaded, but for the sake of everyone pleading for you, I will beat you with a hundred military sticks first!" ”

Everyone continued to beg for mercy, but they only beat fifty, and everyone was not satisfied with Lu Bu's approach. Everyone went to Hou Cheng's house to visit his injury, Hou Cheng was moved for a while, and actually cried, saying: "If it weren't for your intercession, I'm afraid I would have died!" ”

Song Xian also felt very angry, and said: "I see that Lu Bu only has his wife and concubine in his eyes, where are we Ren!" ”

Wei Xu added: "Now that we are surrounded by Cao's army, Xiapi has begun to flood again, and I think we are not far from death!" ”

Song Xian said: "Lu Bu has no benevolence, we might as well leave him, how about it?" ”

Wei continued: "This is not the act of a big husband, it is better to catch him and sacrifice him to Cao Cao!" ”

Hou Cheng interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "I was punished for chasing horses, and what Lu Bu relied on was just the red rabbit horse, if the two of you can really catch Lu Bu, you must steal Lu Bu's red rabbit horse first." ”

So the three of them discussed, formed a unified opinion, Hou Cheng secretly went to the horse yard at night, stole the red rabbit horse, and then came to the east gate, Wei Xu opened the gate, pretending to pursue the red rabbit horse, and then Hou Cheng left Xiapi directly, came to Cao Cao's camp, presented the red rabbit horse, and explained the follow-up plans of Song Xian and Wei Xu, ready to insert white chess as a number, and open the city gate.

After Cao Cao heard this, he realized that this was a good opportunity, and immediately sent someone to shoot the news into the city in the form of archery, which read: "Prime Minister Cao Cao, I have been called to offer the emperor to conquer Lu Bu, if there is anyone who resists, when the city is broken, it will definitely be killed all over the house, no matter who it is, it will be killed by the eight clans, and if there is someone who can capture Lu Bu, or who can sacrifice his head, it will definitely be rewarded, I hope to understand!" ”

On the second day, there were shouts outside the city, and Lu Bu was awakened, and hurriedly took Fang Tian's halberd up to the city wall and went to the various city gates to check.
