Chapter 278: The Fall of Puyang

Cao Cao hated this kind of startled person the most, but when Cao Cao heard this roar, he even forgot the idea of scolding this person.

Because the person who heard this roar was none other than Cao Cao's army, a major mastermind known for his calmness and composure: Xi Zhong and Xi Zhicai.

Cao Cao turned his head and looked at Xi Zhicai, who came running on foot, only to see that he was stepping on a muddy ground that had just been bombarded by the torrential rain, his pants were almost covered with mud stains, and he stumbled, without the slightest calmness and peace in the past, as if he was a homeless wild dog.

Cao Cao looked at Xi Zhong, knowing that something bad was really happening, so he immediately sighed, but he was not in a hurry, and asked slowly: "What's wrong Zhicai, what happened?" ”

Xi Zhicai had already arrived in front of Cao Cao at this time, his body was out of strength, he knelt down in the dirt with a pop, bent his upper body, and said slowly: "Lord Qi...... Yanzhou ...... In Yanzhou City, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao betrayed you and ushered in Lu Bu, and now they have won a lot of cities and are heading towards Puyang! ”

After saying this, Cao Cao suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off his horse!

Chen Gong is just that, Zhang Miao actually betrayed himself!

Cao Cao couldn't believe that Cao Cao's feelings for Zhang Miao had always been very deep. Starting from Cao Cao's cavalry, Zhang Miao has been unconditionally supporting himself. Whether it was the failure of his own pursuit of Dong Zhuo or the ridicule of the alliance princes, Zhang Miao has been silently dedicating himself behind him, and even handed over all his troops to Cao Cao without reservation.

Now Cao Cao naturally handed over the rear to Zhang Miao, because Cao Cao trusted Zhang Miao, and Cao Cao knew that Zhang Miao would never betray him, but now Zhang Miao not only betrayed him, but also led Lu Bu, Cao Cao, an enemy who Cao Cao regarded as a big trouble, into Yanzhou!

There's a fire in the backyard, and the brothers are on the wall!

Cao Cao was so angry that the roots of his teeth were bleeding, his hands were clenched into fists, and he was so angry that bursts of black smoke rose in front of him, and his heart was beating wildly. But none of this is the solution to the problem, nor is it the key to turning the tide.

Cao Cao barely calmed down and asked, "Puyang has Yuan to garrison, there should be no problem, right?" ”

Xi Zhicai shook his head slightly, with a not optimistic expression on his face, and said: "General Xiahoudun doesn't have too many soldiers under him, I'm afraid this situation is ......."

Cao Cao couldn't calm down at this time, even if he was scheming, he raised his head, looked at the countless soldiers behind him, and shouted: "The whole army listens to the order and immediately withdraws back to Yanzhou!" ”

……

Late at night, Puyang.

Xiahoudun woke up in a commotion, raised his eyes, and saw his confidant Han Hao standing in front of him.

Han Hao's face was panicked, beads of sweat hung on his face, and he said continuously: "General, the big thing is not good, Lu Bujun is here!" ”

Xiahoudun was confused and asked, "What's the matter?" How could Lu Bu suddenly appear in Puyang? ”

Han Hao said: "I don't know the specific situation, it's just that someone opened the gate of Puyang City tonight, and Lu Bu's army drove straight into Puyang!" ”

Xiahoudun hurriedly got up and put on his battle armor and asked, "How many men does Lu Bu have?" ”

Han Hao said: "There are at least about 50,000 people, and now they have almost occupied Puyang, but there is still the east of the city that has not fallen for the time being, let's leave here first, gather troops and come back." ”

Xiahoudun nodded and said, "It seems that this can only be the case." After that, he walked out quickly, only to see Puyang people boiling, shouting and killing to the sky, obviously it had been lost. Xiahou beat his chest and said angrily: "Which inner ghost dares to lure Lu Bu, a wolf with ambition, to Puyang!" ”

After about a moment, Han Hao had already brought the military horses in the city that had not yet surrendered and died, and there was no time to count the number of people, Xiahou Tang hurriedly led a group of soldiers out of the east gate, fled all the way, and went straight to Juancheng, while hurriedly ordering someone to inform Xun Yu and Cheng Yu and the others, and prepare to resist Lu Bu.

Gradually dawn broke in the east, and Han Hao's subordinate messengers reported that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao had betrayed Lu Bu and betrayed Puyang.

Xiahoudun was furious and hurriedly sent someone to inform Cao Cao, who was far away in Xuzhou, but he ordered all the Cao troops stationed within a radius of 20 miles to assemble, hoping to recapture Puyang before LΓΌ Bu could gain a firm foothold.

Before the army was assembled, suddenly the sentry in front came to report that a Lu Bu army was afraid of Cao Cao's strength and had come to surrender.

Xiahoudun sneered and said, "It turns out that there are still people in Lu Bu's army who know the times. "Let's go out first, follow the sentry to see who Lu Bu's men are coming to surrender."

Han Hao saw Xiahoudun passing alone, and hurriedly followed, for fear that something would go wrong.

Xiahoudun went out of the crowd, only to see that there were more than 100 people and horses who surrendered, and the first one was dressed plainly, not like a general, no wonder he would lead the crowd to surrender.

But at such a critical time of survival, Xiahoudun naturally would not dislike the few people who surrendered, after all, no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat, not to mention that these people are very likely to know that Lu Budi is fine, and it will also be of great help to Xiahoudun to recapture Puyang.

Xiahoudun beat his horse over, looked at the leader, and asked sharply, "Which general is under Lu Bu?" ”

When the leader saw that Xiahoudun had come over in person, he looked up at Xiahoudun and suddenly smiled strangely, which was very terrifying.

Seeing the change in the leader's facial expression, how could he not know that this person had a trick, but it was too late to react at this time, and he saw the leader suddenly pull out a dagger from behind him and spur it towards Xiahoudun to sit down and spur.

Xiahoudun's war horse was stabbed, and the person also fell to the ground, and more than a dozen Lu Bu soldiers immediately surrounded him and tied Xiahoudun strongly. Xiahou fell for the enemy's calculations, and immediately felt ashamed and regretful, and scolded himself again and again in his heart!

Han Hao led Xiahoudun's soldiers, although there were many people, but when he saw Xiahoudun being captured, he didn't dare to come forward to save people, so he had to watch Xiahoudun being tied up like a dumpling by them not far away.

The leader of the Lu Bu army didn't seem to expect that Xiahoudun would be so easily fooled, and after he succeeded, he smiled so happily with an ugly face, he stared at Xiahoudun and sneered: "I didn't expect the dignified General Xiahoudun to be so reckless and so easily caught by me, haha!" ”

Xiahoudun looked at the leader coldly, so angry that he couldn't say a word.

The leader kicked Xiahoudun and said, "You are very good, now your commander is in my hands, now as long as you put down your weapons and raise your hands to surrender, I will let your commander live!" ”

Seeing that the situation was so passive, Xiahoudun was just about to speak, when suddenly a person opposite said loudly: "Bold thief, don't dream sweetly!" Military law says that if the main general is captured, the deputy general will automatically be promoted to the main general, command the three armies, and destroy the enemy at all costs. General Xiahou, I think you know that too! Although you have been taken prisoner, I swear that if the thieves dare to touch a single hair, I will pay them with blood! ”
