Three Kingdoms: I, the eldest son of Cao, a loving father of a great man!

Chapter 554 Cao Ang arrives in person and returns to Xiapi

After Huang Zhong heard Lu Bu's words, he asked with surprise: "Marquis Wen came to take over my attack on Xiapi. Why didn't I receive any news before?"

Lu Bu smiled when he heard this and said, "Then, am I not informing you now?"

Huang Zhong looked at Lu Bu's appearance, frowned and continued to ask: "Does Marquis Wen have any letters or transfer orders from the young general?"

"Is this true? I am eager for revenge, so I never brought this thing with me." Lu Bu said with a slight smile.

At this time, Huang Zhong looked at Xu Huang and Le Jin beside him, and was a little undecided for a moment.

Xu Huang thought for a while and whispered in Huang Zhong's ear: "Han Sheng, I would rather believe that he has something than that he has nothing!"

Huang Zhong thought so, so he said to Lu Bu: "In that case, our army will withdraw thirty miles, and now Pi City will be attacked by Marquis Wen!"

Lu Bu originally wanted to deceive Huang Zhong into leaving Cao's 100,000 troops with him.

But when he thought that these Cao soldiers might not listen to him in the future, he gave up the idea.

Lu Bu continued to face Huang Zhong: "The Major General has captured Pengcheng. He asked General, you to lead troops back to Pengcheng. He has further arrangements!"

"Really?" Huang Zhong frowned when he heard this. He had also known for a long time that after Cao Ang captured Xuzhou, he would go to sea to support the Yamatai Kingdom in Japan.

So after hearing Lu Bu's words, he didn't doubt anything. He just nodded and said: "Okay, thank you Marquis Wen for coming to tell the general the news. I will lead my troops back to Pengcheng tomorrow. Now in Picheng I will leave Cao Bao to you, Marquis Wen."

"It's easy to talk about!" Lu Bu smiled slightly: "This is my territory originally. After running it for so many years, I naturally know it well. General Huang, don't worry."

……

The next day, Huang Zhong really withdrew his troops and returned to Pengcheng.

After Huang Zhong left, Lu Bu led his troops to Xiapi City.

"Cao Bao, when you besieged me outside Xiapi City, did you ever think about today?" Lu Bu was outside the city, leading 10,000 soldiers. He looked arrogant and shouted to Cao Bao on the city wall.

After hearing Lu Bu's voice, Cao Bao retorted loudly: "Lu Bu, you don't have to be arrogant. When my lord leads his troops to support me, your body will be missing!"

After hearing Cao Bao's words, Lu Bu laughed loudly: "Cao Bao, Cao Bao, you are still dreaming here. If I can appear here, it means that Pengcheng has been conquered by Cao Ang!"

"As for your lord, I heard that Cao Ang didn't catch him and didn't find his body, so he most likely ran away, and you are just an abandoned son, so why are you resisting? Come down quickly!"

After Cao Bao heard Lu Bu's words, his expression became ugly.

However, at this time, he already believed Lu Bu's words. After all, Cao Ang was not here, which meant that the opponent was attacking Pengcheng.

Relying on the defenders in Pengcheng, it is simply a dream to defend against the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops under Cao Ang's command.

Thinking of this, Cao Bao really wanted to surrender.

However, due to the fact that he besieged Lu Bu before, he was still a little worried that Lu Bu would settle the score later.

For a time, Cao Bao was caught in a dilemma.

Lu Bu seemed to see through what Cao Bao was thinking, so he continued to speak.

"Cao Bao, you don't have to worry. As long as you are willing to surrender to me, you will continue to be your general in the future, and your treatment will be the same as when you were a general under Tao Qian. How about that?"

When Cao Bao heard this, he hesitated and asked: "Marquis Wen, are you telling the truth?"

At this time, Cao Bao changed from calling Lu Bu by his first name to Wen Hou. Lu Bu smiled when he heard this and said, "Of course it is true. Besides, do you have any other options now besides surrendering?"

Cao Bao knew that if he resisted, the only thing waiting for him would be death.

But if you surrender, you still have a chance of survival.

After some ideological struggle, Cao Bao decided to take a gamble and surrender!

So Cao Bao personally led people to open the gate of Xiapi City and welcomed Lu Bu into the city.

Lu Bu returned to Xiapi City again and was filled with emotions for a while.

Originally, all those in Xiapi City were his personal soldiers, but now, he only has Gao Shun, his confidant.

Everyone else is a later comer.

Cao Bao came to Lu Bu, knelt down in front of him, and said, "The guilty general Cao Bao has met Marquis Wen."

Although Lu Bu wanted to kill Cao Bao in his heart, he knew that these Xuzhou troops who had just surrendered still needed Cao Bao's leadership.

So Lu Bu suppressed the murderous intention in his heart, helped him up, and said with a smile: "General Cao doesn't have to be like this. Since I said let's forget about it, what happened before will be in the past."

"Thank you Marquis Wen!" Cao Bao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said thank you.

In Pengcheng, Zhang Liao and Huang Zhong also returned.

When Cao Ang saw Huang Zhong coming back, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Han Sheng, why are you back too? Could it be that Xiapi was captured?"

"Ah? Didn't you, Major General, ask me to come back?" Huang Zhong asked in surprise, and then told Cao Ang everything Lu Bu said to him.

After Zhang Liao heard Huang Zhong's words, he also told what happened between him and Lu Bu.

After hearing what these two generals said, Cao Ang laughed.

"I didn't expect that after so many years of hard work, Lu Bu, a reckless man, would become cunning!"

After Huang Zhong learned that Lu Bu had deceived him, he was extremely angry: "This thief Lu Bu actually deceived me!"

Cao Ang smiled when he heard this, waved his hand gently and said: "It's okay, Lu Bu's matter will be resolved sooner or later. As for this guy, if you don't defeat him, he won't work for you easily!"

Cao Ang didn't say much about Huang Zhong being deceived.

After all, who would have thought that Lu Bu, who was always known as a simple-minded man with strong limbs, would one day become a strategist.

After reorganizing the Taishan bandits brought back by Zang Ba, only 50,000 of the nearly 300,000 Taishan bandits were left. They were recruited as new recruits, and Xu Huang led them for training. At the same time, he guarded Pengcheng.

Cao Ang, on the other hand, personally led an army of 150,000 and led three generals, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong and Zhang Liao, to send troops to Pi City.

At this time, Lu Bu had completely subdued the Xuzhou Army in Xiapi City.

After Cao Ang arrived outside Xiapi City, he came to the city and shouted to Lu Bu.

"Lu Bu, why did you betray my trust and come to defraud Xiapi City?" (End of Chapter)
