It is said that the patriarch brought the car to the city, and the soldiers defending the city were forbidden to enter the city.

The patriarch said, "At the request of the prince of Tian, I came to deliver food." ”

The sergeant made a quick report to Lu Bu. Lu Bu asked, "How much grain?" ”

Answered: "Five cars." ”

He asked again: "How many people escorted them." ”

He replied, "Twelve in all." ”

Lu Bu was worried about the lack of food in the city, so he called to open the door and put it in.

Chen Gong said: "Now that there is a famine, where can I get so much food, please ask Tian Gong to go to the city gate to identify it, in case there is fraud." ”

While Lu Bu sent someone to invite Tian Gong, he personally went to the city gate to check.

Lu Bu called the sergeants out of the city, inspected the cars one by one, and replied, "It's all grain."

Tian Gong came, saw the patriarch, very intimate, greeted each other, Tian Gong said: "The grain room is empty, the patriarch will not send grain, let alone supply Lu Wenhou, even my family will be out of cooking." ”

The patriarch said, "There is really no way, who has food for the local people?" Merchants who trafficked in grain were either robbed halfway or sold at high prices, and they couldn't come here at all. I was worried all day because I couldn't deliver food to Tian Gong. ”

Tian Gong asked, "How did you get these five carts of grain?" ”

Cao Cao's entourage said: "The patriarch sent us around every day to inquire about food news. A few days ago, I heard that a team of sergeants escorted grain and grass to Qingfeng, and when passing through our village, the patriarch paid a high price to buy the quartermaster, leaving six carts of grain, and one cart was distributed to the villagers, preparing to give these five carts to Tian Gong. Unexpectedly, when the army besieged Puyang, he hid the grain in the village. Seeing the retreat of the besieged soldiers, the patriarch was afraid that Tian Gong was short of food, and he changed over time, so he hurriedly took us to send the food, and Wang Tian Gong must not withhold the grain money. ”

Tian Gong said: "I have a deep relationship with the patriarch, I have money to earn together, and I share risks, how can I treat them badly? ”

Lu Bu listened to their conversation and ordered him to quickly transport the grain to Tian Gong's house, and then send the military quartermaster to pay according to the amount and send it to the military warehouse.

Tian Gong went to the house to set up wine and food to entertain the patriarch and others.

During the banquet, Cao Cao's department took out a letter written by Cheng Yu to Tian Gong, to the effect that Cao Gong was kind to the world, and recruited millions of yellow turbans in Qingzhou with virtue, and now occupies most of Yanzhou, and the troops are under Puyang City, which can be broken soon. The last time he tricked Cao Gong into entering the city, it was coerced by Lu Bu. If you can act at the opportunity, as an internal response, you will assist Cao Gong to break through Puyang, and the previous crime will not be investigated. Otherwise, on the day the city is broken, the jade will be burned, and the Tian family will not be protected.

Tian Gong read the letter and was very anxious: "Lu Bu was brutally persecuted, and he deceived Cao Gong for the sake of protecting Tian's family, but he was really helpless. ”

The general said: "Cao Gong also knew that Tian Gong had no choice but to do it, and he gave five carts of grain. Wangtian Gong recognized the situation, understood the general situation, and took the overall situation into account, so that he could atone for his sins and protect Tian's family. ”

Tian Gong was still a little worried: "Can Cao Gong really forgive me?" ”

The patriarch said, "Tian Gong rest assured. Cao Gong forgives millions of yellow scarves, not to mention Yitian. Cao Gong promised me in person that if the Duke of Tian acted righteously, sent troops to protect the Tian family, and did not commit any offense in the autumn, and gave away five carts of grain, and Lu Bu would not take a penny of the grain money paid. ”

Tian Gong only then promised to make an internal response, and agreed to open the east gate to welcome Cao Gong into the city on the third watch tomorrow with the gong as the number.

Xi San, Tian Gong personally sent the patriarch and others out of the city.

The patriarch and the subordinate general returned to Cao Cao and said that Tian Gong's wish was the internal response.

Cao Cao was overjoyed and rewarded the patriarch.

Cheng Yu said: "Puyang City is broken, to prevent Lü Bu from defecting to Yuan Shao, when sending troops to attack the west and north gates, attracting enemy soldiers to guard, the general himself brought the Chinese army to the east gate at night, and the third watch attacked the city, forcing Lü Bu to flee south. ”

The next day, Cao Cao ordered Xiahoudun and Xiahou Yuan to besiege the west gate with great fanfare, Li Dian and Le Jin waved their flags and shouted to besiege the north gate.

At the beginning of the watch, Lu Bu heard that the enemy army at the west gate and north gate was attacking the city urgently, and personally led the troops there.

Lu Bu said: "There is no movement at the east gate, and Tian Gong can go to help." Cao Cao was treacherous and suspected that there was an ambush outside the city, so he could only hold on, and could not open the door to meet him, so as not to fall into the scheme. ”

Tian Gong said: "You must follow Wen Hou's orders." ”

Tian Gong came to the east gate and offered wine and food to comfort the guards.

At the time of the third watch, I saw that the soldiers defending the city were drinking and eating, and urgently ordered the gong to open the door.

Dian Wei, who had been waiting at the city gate, bore the brunt of the attack and led the soldiers to kill, but the soldiers defending the city had not yet reacted and had been killed.

Tian Gong greeted Cao Cao and asked for forgiveness.

Cao Cao thanked him and handed over a white flag with the words "No Intrusion" to Tian Gong, and ordered it to be hung on the door of Tian Mansion to avoid intrusion by the sergeants.

Cao Cao's army entered the city from the east gate and divided his troops to the west gate and the north gate.

Chen Gong heard that there was a change, and knew that the enemy soldiers were entering from the east gate, so he was definitely unprepared, so he hurriedly protected Lu Bu's family and went backwards to the east gate, took advantage of the chaos to go out of the city, and went to Dingtao (now Dingtao, Heze, Shandong).

Lu Bu was guarding the city at the west gate, and suddenly saw the enemy soldiers coming from behind, knowing that the city had been broken, he turned his horse's head, and was meeting Dian Wei.

Lu Bu didn't dare to fight, shook a halberd, galloped to the south gate, called the gatekeepers to open the door to meet the enemy, took the lead himself, rushed out of the city gate, relied on the red rabbit horse fast, threw off the chasing soldiers, and went straight to Dingtao.

Yan Liang, a famous general in Jizhou, saw that Cao Cao had won Puyang, pursued Lu Bu, and saw no signs of attacking Jizhou, so he led 50,000 troops and horses back to Jizhou to return to Yuan Shao.

Cao Cao recaptured Puyang, forgave Tian Gong's old sins, ordered Liu Ye to guard Puyang, and led the army to Dingtao, forty miles away from the city.

It was the wheat harvest season, Cao Cao ordered 1,000 soldiers to guard the village, and the rest were scattered to collect wheat with the soldiers and civilians of Tuntian to replenish military rations.

Let's say that Lu Bu fled into Dingtao and saw Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao, but Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Zang Ba, and Hou Cheng patrolled the sea to collect food and did not return.

Suddenly, there was a detailed report, saying that Cao Cao was forty miles away from the village, and the soldiers scattered to collect wheat, and there were only 1,000 people in the village.

Lu Bu thought that there were few soldiers in the village, so he led the army to it, wanting to pull out the village in one fell swoop.

Approaching the camp, seeing a dense forest on the left, Lu Bu had an extra heart, fearing that there would be an ambush and return.

At this time, Chen Gong had already come to Dingtao, and the generals had also returned, and Lu Bu gathered to discuss.

Chen Gong said: "Cao Cao is scheming, and he cannot be underestimated. ”

Lu Bu said: "Cao Cao's trick was seen through by me, and tomorrow I will first use fire to break through his ambush, and the enemy village is empty, and it can be obtained with a hand." ”

Cao Cao saw that Lu Bu came and returned, and knew that he was afraid that there would be ambushes in the forest, so he planned and asked the sergeants to plant more flags in the forest, and set up a suspicious formation, but he ambushed the elite soldiers behind a waterless river embankment on the right side of the village, and ordered a force to challenge in front of Lu Bu's array.

The next day, Lu Buliu Chen Palace, Gao Shun defended the city, and led the army to attack the village with the generals.

When he was about to reach the woods, Lu Bu saw that the forest was full of banners, and thought that he had a plan, so he drove the troops forward and set fire on all sides, but found that there was no one in the forest.

Just when he was in doubt, he suddenly saw an army coming to challenge.

Lu Bu thought that Cao's army had few soldiers, so he led the army to attack quickly.

Cao's army fought and retreated, and when Lü Bu was lured into the ambush area, the ambush protruded, and the infantry and cavalry flanked before and after, Lü Bu's army was defeated and fled, losing more than half.

Cao Cao led his army to follow in pursuit, and Lü Bu fled with the remnants of the defeated army.

Chen Gong heard that Lu Bu was defeated, and it was difficult to defend the empty city, so he and Gao Shun protected Lu Bu's old and young to abandon the Tao and left.

Cao Cao killed the victorious soldiers into Dingtao, Zhang Chao killed himself, and Zhang Miao went to Yuan Shu.

After Cao Cao captured Dingtao, he divided his troops to recover the counties and counties of Yanzhou, and obtained the territory of Shandong.

Let's say that Lu Bu lost Changyi, defeated Puyang, abandoned Dingtao, fled all the way, was chased and killed by Cao Cao, and had no way out, so he had to go to Xuzhou to defect to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei heard that Lu Bu was coming to vote and wanted to go out of the city to greet him.

Mi Zhu persuaded: "Lu Bu is a capricious tiger, he can't be taken in, if he is taken in, he will be a tiger for trouble." ”

Liu Bei said: "Feng Xian is a brave general today. Tao Gongzu entrusted Xuzhou to me, Cao Cao held a grudge, if it wasn't for Fengxian to capture Yanzhou, how could Xuzhou be spared? Now that he has come to vote because of poverty, how can he have ulterior motives? ”

Zhang Fei said: "My brother is really kind-hearted. Even so, be on your guard. ”

Guan Yu also said: "You can't have the heart to harm people, and you can't have the heart to guard against people, so it's better to take precautions." ”

Liu Bei said: "I have my own weight. Then he went out of the city thirty miles to meet him, and entered the city with Lu Bu.

Lu Bu followed Liu Bei to the state government, and finished the ceremony: "I and Wang Situ planned to kill Dong Zhuo, and they were changed by Li Dao and Guo Yan, and they drifted to the east of the country, and the princes were incompatible. Recently, Cao thief was unkind and invaded Xuzhou, thanks to the Jun Li to save Tao Gong. Cao Cao's jealousy made Jun get Xuzhou, that is, he wanted to send troops to attack. In order to disperse the forces of Cao and thieves to relieve the plight of Xuzhou, I led the army to attack Yanzhou, but unexpectedly, I fell into a treacherous plan and lost my troops. I know that I want to make Jun benevolent, so I came to run and plan for great things, but I don't know what to do with Jun Zhi? ”

Liu Bei thought to himself: Fortunately, he didn't succeed, if he got Yanzhou, it would not be the same as trying to take Xuzhou, but he said: "Tao Gongzu died of illness recently, and no one is in charge of Xuzhou, and Xuan Dequan is acting as the consul of the state." Now that the general is here, it is appropriate to give way. With that, he looked at Guan Yu and Zhang Fei behind him, and then took out the card seal and handed it to Lu Bu.

Lu Bu stretched out his hand to take it, but saw that Guan Zhang was angry behind Liu Bei, so he forced a smile: "Feng Xian is just a brave man, how can he be a state pastor?" ”

Liu Bei let it again, and Chen Gong hurriedly stood up: "Qiangbin does not suppress the landlord, so that the king should not be suspicious." ”

Liu Bei stopped, set up a banquet to treat each other, and asked someone to clean up the house and arrange for Lu Bu and others to live.

Lu Bu set up a banquet to invite Liu Bei. Liu Bei invited Guan Zhang to go with him.

Zhang Fei said: "The benefactor is feasting on my brother, what am I going to do?" ”

Guan Yu said: "Didn't you see that Lu Bu wanted to take the card seal yesterday?" Let's go together, prepared. ”

Zhang Fei said: "Even if my brother doesn't let me, I will go too, in case my brother is victimized." ”

After the three of them arrived, they were half-drunk, and Lu Bu invited Liu Bei to enter the back hall, followed by Guan Zhang.

Lu Bu asked his wife and daughter to come out to thank Liu Bei, and Liu Bei humbly gave in.

Lu Bu said: "Brother Xian doesn't have to push. ”

Zhang Fei was furious: "Who are you, and you deserve to call my brother 'virtuous brother'?" Come out and fight three lilies. If you win my spear, I will call you brother. ”

Liu Bei hurriedly drank and led the two out.

Zhang Feiyu's anger did not subside: "As soon as 'virtuous brother' let Xuzhou, if he is called 'righteous father', he will not give his life." ”

Guan Yu said: "Yide's words are not rough. Lu Bu's wolf ambition must be guarded against. ”

Liu Bei looked helpless: "Lu Bu is heroic, and if he offends, he will make a strong enemy." I can't tolerate people's stomachs, who will come to take refuge again? ”

The next day, Lu Bu said goodbye to Liu Bei: "Duomeng will not give up the king, how can I make my brother not tolerate it, and I will go elsewhere first." ”

Liu Bei said: "If the general goes, it will be my great sin." Nearby Xiaopei, is my former garrison place, grain and grass military needs, can also cope, if not too narrow the city, the right and tun, what do you think? ”

Lu Bu thanked Liu Bei and led the army to join Xiaopei.

Liu Bei sent Lu Bu away, and heard the Malay report: "Yangzhou Yuan Shu sent elite soldiers to attack Xuzhou, and the vanguard troops approached Xuyi and Huaiyin. ”

Liu Bei was shocked and hurriedly gathered to discuss how to resist. Exactly: the tiger is still there when the door is opened, and the wolf is biased behind the door. If you want to know how Liu Bei resists the enemy, and see the next decomposition.
