It is said that Cao Cao was attacked by Guan Yu and Tai Shici for a long time and had to evacuate north.

There was a strange scene on the Xuzhou Plain, Cao Cao's tens of thousands of troops were chased by Guan Yu and Tai Shici 10,000 people.

Guan Yu took the lead and stared at Cao Cao.

Cao Ren and Xiahoudun originally changed from the former army to the rear army, resisted all the way, and fought and retreated.

The two-way army ran out of ten miles, and suddenly a ring-eyed general came out, it was Zhang Feiye.

I saw Zhang Fei leading three thousand iron horses, aiming at the Chinese army Cao Cao, running wildly all the way.

Wherever the cavalry went, Cao Jun fell to the ground one after another, blood splattered on the spot. Xiahou Yuan hurriedly led the army to resist for a while, and after only three rounds, he was defeated again.

Yu Ban took Zhang Fei's Zhangba snake spear, resisted for a while, and was also defeated.

Cao Cao was frightened and retreated south, only to be severely attacked by Tai Shici.

In the west, Guan Yu blocked the way, but there was no Liu Bei's army in the direction of Picheng in the east.

Guo Jia reluctantly suggested: "Lord, now Liu Bei's army is outside Xiapi City, and only Lu Bu's army is left in the city. It is better to leave General Zixiao and General Yuan Rang and lead 10,000 soldiers and horses from their respective headquarters to resist Liu Bei's army. The lord leads the rest of the men and horses, and directly takes Picheng, as long as he takes Picheng, he can turn defeat into victory. ”

Cao Cao had no time to think about it, and immediately adopted Guo Jia's suggestion.

Lu Bu, who was far away in Xiapi City, was watching the battle on the city wall at this time.

The fire in the west burned Lu Bu imminently.

"Gongtai, let's attack, if you don't kill the past at this time, when will you wait? Is it possible to wait for Liu Bei's army to kill Cao Jun and our army to go out again? ”

Chen Gong frowned and waited tightly: "General, don't be impatient, the longer Liu Bei and Cao Cao's two armies fight, the more beneficial it will be to our army." At that time, our army only needs to clean up the mess, and it will not be a problem to take Liu Bei's army. ”

Lu Bu had no choice but to wait.

Until Lü Bu received the news, Cao's army was divided into two parts, one part went straight to Xiapi City, and the other part confronted Liu Bei's army.

At this time, Song Xian and Hou Cheng were in a hurry, and if they continued like this, even if they won, it would be the credit of Chen Gong, and they had nothing to do with themselves.

The two immediately encouraged Lü Bu to immediately go out of the city to meet the battle and defeat Cao Cao in order to avenge the revenge between Peng Cheng and Fu Yang.

Lu Bu was moved by the two of them, regardless of Chen Gong's dissuasion, he carried Fang Tian's halberd and killed out of Xiapi City.

The army was just about to leave the city gate, Zhang Liao and Gao Shun were blocked by Shi A and stuffed Zhao Chen's letter into their hands.

The two of them didn't know why, so they opened the letter and looked at it.

There are only four words in the letter: Don't leave the city!

Zhang Liao asked, "What does Mr. Houde mean by this?" ”

Shi Ah replied: "Mr. proudly told Ah that you must stop the two of you and not go out of the city." As for the specific reason, I don't know. But Ah knows one thing, and the gentleman's plan has never been missed. ”

Zhang Liao naturally knew that Zhao Chen was powerful, but Gao Shun did not comprehend it, and it was difficult for him to choose to believe it in the face of letters that were contrary to Lu Bu's instructions.

After all, Gao Shun is a subordinate general of Lu Bu, and he has been following Lu Bu since Ding Yuan, and his status is much higher than that of Lu Bu's other generals.

Gao Shun said: "Wenyuan, Xiapi City needs to be defended, it is better for you to stay, and I will join General Lu to conquer Cao Cao." ”

Zhang Liao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Shi A was helpless and couldn't stop Gao Shun, so he had to go towards the south gate.

On the other side, Cao Cao led the army all the way to the front. At this time, time is pressing, and they must take Xiapi City at night before Cao Ren and Xiahoudun are breached, otherwise their previous efforts will be wasted.

Then halfway to the road, just arrived at the intersection of Surabaya and Yishui, and met Lu Bu's army who came to clean up the mess.

When the two armies met each other, they were like enemies meeting each other, and they were extremely red-eyed.

Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban took the lead, Lu Bu drove the horse to usher, and the three scuffled together.

After more than ten rounds of back and forth, Xiahou Yuan and Yu Ban couldn't reach Lu Bu, so they had to return to the town.

Guo Jia saw the situation clearly and hurriedly suggested: "Lord, Lu Bu is marching in a hurry, the rear army can't keep up with the front army, and the team is too long and too thin." Although our army can't withstand Lu Bu's bravery, we can bypass Lu Bu, divide our troops to cut off the rear army, encircle and annihilate it, and if we don't allow an hour, Lu Bu will be defeated. At that time, there will only be Lu Bu left, how can he resist thousands of troops. ”

Cao Cao was overjoyed, from it.

Sure enough, as Guo Jia expected, Lu Bu was in too much of a hurry, and the army behind him had no time to reorganize and meet the attack, and the team was thin and long.

Cao's army was divided and cut off, surrounded and suppressed by three times as many people, and Lü Bu's army was defeated one after another.

When Lu Bu reacted and looked back, there were only one or two thousand people left, and they no longer had the strength to confront Cao Jun.

At this time, when Lü Bu wanted to lead his army to retreat to Xiapicheng, it was already too late, and Cao's army surrounded Lü Bu's 2,000 men and constantly harassed them with pikemen.

In just one hour, Lu Bu and the other generals were captured alive.

Seeing this, Liu Bei and Zhao Chen on Geyi Mountain realized that the time had come, and led 2,000 people to secretly descend the mountain, and to avoid being discovered by Cao Jun, they secretly ran to the west gate of Xiapi City to call the door.

Chen Gong on the city tower looked at the two thousand men and horses in front of the west gate vigilantly, and doubts were born in his heart.

Seeing this, Zhao Chen generously displayed the banner of Liu Bei's army and threatened to take down Picheng.

Chen Gong hurriedly transferred all the guards of the southeast, north and south gates to the west gate, in an attempt to prevent Liu Bei and Zhao Chen from attacking the city head-on.

But how did he know that this was what Zhao Chen couldn't ask for.

To the south of Xiapi City, Huang Gai led 5,000 men and horses and was waiting for the signal to attack the city.

Seeing that the defenders of the south gate had withdrawn one after another, Huang Gai realized that the signal was coming, and immediately ordered an all-out siege of the city.

As soon as Shi A arrived at the south gate to meet Sun Shao, he heard the killing shouts outside the city gate that shook the sky, and immediately took out his sword, and killed the guards of the south gate with first-class swordsmanship, and captured the south gate.

As soon as the south gate opened, Huang Gai's 5,000 troops swarmed in, and together with Shi A and Sun Shao, they killed the west gate.

At this time, at the West Gate, Liu Bei and Zhao Chen were leading 2,000 men and horses to confront Chen Gong in front of the city gate.

Chen Gong scolded Zhao Chen for not keeping his word, and at the same time urgently ordered the soldiers to strengthen the city wall, and was always worried about the life and death of Lu Bu's army.

Who knew that a general and a swordsmanship master suddenly appeared behind him, Huang Gai and Shi Aye.

Huang Gai is a military general, and he can easily take it down in the face of a civil servant like Chen Gong.

Shi A faced Zhang Liao, and by surprise and hand-to-hand games, he was lucky enough to capture Zhang Liao. If it is placed on the battlefield, the two generals will fight, and Shi A may not be Zhang Liao's opponent.

Chen Gong (thanks to 420dkdW for the mistake pointed out) watched in horror as Huang Gai and Shi A opened the West City Gate, slowly closed their eyes, and sighed as they looked up to the sky.

He knew that the moment Liu Bei's army entered the city, Xiapi City was lost, Xuzhou was lost, and Lu Bu's army would have no way out.

Not far away, Cao Cao cleaned up the mess and went straight to Xiapi.

As soon as I arrived at the foot of Xiapi City, suddenly the drums at the head of the city sounded loudly, and many guards stood up under the daughter wall, holding torches high, illuminating the west gate of the entire Xiapi City.

Cao Cao Yao shouted: "You wait for the commander Lu Bu to be captured by me, you wait for the quick surrender, maybe you can save your life, otherwise the city will be ruined." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Chen walked out from behind his daughter's wall and said with a smile: "Meng Degong doesn't know who he is referring to, my family master is just drinking tea in the city, why was he arrested?" ”

Cao Cao looked at it and was taken aback.

"Zhao Chen!"

Guo Jia also opened his mouth wide in disbelief: "Zhao Chen, why are you here?" It's hard to ............"

He hurriedly looked at the flags on both sides, and sure enough, he didn't pay attention to the dark night before, but now he looked at it, and it was not the Luzi banner hanging on the city wall, but the Liuzi flag.

Zhao Chen smiled: "That's right, Xiapi City has fallen into the hands of my lord, so let's go back." Otherwise, under the random arrows, it will be difficult to save your life. ”

Cao Cao looked at Zhao Chen, who was proud in the firelight, and was furious.

Guo Jia thought about it in his heart, and suggested again: "Don't be angry, this is Zhao Chen's plan, now my army has more than 50,000 people, and Liu Bei has no more than 10,000 people in the city. ”

After Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao suddenly woke up and immediately ordered the siege of the city.

Who knew that Zhao Chenyao shouted: "Meng Degong, don't rush to attack the city first, please look behind you!" ”
