King of Liao at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 255

Lu Bu was shocked by Zhang Yang's words and broke out in a cold sweat. He was restless all day long, so he had no choice but to leave.After much deliberation, Lu Bu led his men and went east to Yuan Shao.When Yuan Shao learned that Lu Bu had come to vote, he was ecstatic and treated him generously. He even gave Lu Bu a county to garrison troops.Afterwards, Tian Feng said to him, "Master, Lv Bu is a tiger and wolf! If he becomes popular, he will fight back!" Yuan Shao hesitated, and used letters to test Lv Bu.

Not long after, Lu Bu replied, calling Yuan Shao a bitch in his heart. Yuan Shao was furious and wanted to kill Lu Bu.Tian Feng said again, "My lord, this matter is not right. If I kill this person, wouldn't it chill the hearts of all the people in the world who want to vote for my lord?" Yuan Shao was shocked when he heard this, and asked Tian Feng for advice. Tian Feng thought for a moment and said, " Not weak, under the guise of the holy name, he ordered Lu Bu to be the captain of Sili, and killed him halfway!" Yuan Shao nodded in agreement with Tian Feng's words, sent a letter to Lu Bu to go to work, and even took thousands of elite 'escorts'.

Lu Bu was overjoyed at first, but Zhang Liao looked at the elite guards Yuan Shao sent to guard Lu Bu and said, "We also have soldiers, how can we let them escort them? There must be fraud!" Lu Bu was shocked, and he bribed the people around Yuan Shao, Hearing the news that Yuan Shao wanted to kill him, he left overnight with more than [-] Bingzhou elite soldiers.Yuan Shao had many soldiers and generals, and the grain and grass piled up like mountains.Lu Bu didn't want to offend Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao had no choice but to give up when he learned that Lu Bu Xingye had led his troops away.Now Lu Bu finally figured it out that Zhang Yang was the only one who treated him sincerely today, so he reviewed the surrender to Zhang Yang, and Zhang Yang, an honest man, didn't care about Lu Bu's leaving without saying goodbye last time, and took Lu Bu in again.

Soon after, Cao Cao launched an army to attack Tao Qian in order to avenge his father, leaving only Xun Yu, Cheng Yu and others. Of.Zhang Yang had no intention of seeking hegemony, but Lü Bu traveled around for several months, thinking about it, and wanted to find a place to live, so Zhang Yang donated [-] soldiers to Lv Bu and asked him to take Yanzhou to settle down.Apart from Zhang Yang, when Lu Bu was on the run, he met another good friend, Zhang Miao, the prefect of Chenliu!

Zhang Miao was also under Cao Cao's command. On that day, Cao Cao's friend Bao Xin insisted that Cao Cao be the governor of Yanzhou. Zhang Miao saw Cao Cao's sergeant Xiong Wu and dared not do anything wrong.Both under Cao Cao's command, Chen Gong and Zhang Miao also had a relationship on several occasions. After hearing Lu Bu's words, they went to persuade Zhang Miao.Zhang Miao originally hated Yuan Shao, was afraid of Cao Cao, and was close to Lu Bu, so he hesitated in his heart. Chen Gong said that Guo Gong, the governor of Yuzhou, also wanted to attack Cao. Zhang Miao turned against Cao Cao when he heard this.

The army of the three groups merged into two groups, and it was really powerful, but Chen Gong never imagined that Cheng Yu, the prefect of Fancheng, saw through Chen Gong's plan to attack Guo with [-] Cao soldiers, and defended Fancheng and Dongdong with [-] Cao soldiers. The three counties of A and Juancheng.What Chen Gong didn't expect was that the [-] combined army of Lu Bu and Guo Gong would not be able to attack Xuchang, and with [-] attacking [-], the entire army would be wiped out.When Cao Cao learned that Xuchang and Yanzhou were in trouble, Xingye sent his army to rescue him. He got the advice of his advisers and ordered Xia Houyuan to take Dongjun and become the governor of Dongjun.

In addition, because Lu Bu killed Guo Gong in a fit of anger, several counties in Yuzhou were in chaos. On one side were Cao Cao's [-] elite soldiers, and on the other side were Zhang Miao, Zhang Yang, and Lu Bu's [-] allied forces. In order to help Lu Bu, the good old man Zhang Yang actually abandoned Hanoi. Hanoi was captured by Yuan Shao, and Zhang Miao was afraid of Cao Cao and had to help Lv Bu. The two armies fought endlessly. Set up camps a hundred miles away to echo each other.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yang's general Yang Chou was dissatisfied with Zhang Yang for Lv Bu and abandoned Hanoi. Seeing that Cao Cao was powerful, he killed Zhang Yang and wanted to join Cao Cao, while the other general of Sui's department executed Yang Chou and led his troops back to Hanoi When he went there, he voted for Yuan Shao. Seeing the chaos in Shuangzhang's camp, Cao Cao took the opportunity to lead his troops to attack him. He even beheaded Zhang Miao and his horse. Lu Bu was unable to rescue him, and was held back by four generals Xia Houdun, Xia Houyuan, Cao Ren and Cao Hong. Juye's army stopped seven times out of ten, and suffered heavy losses. Cao Cao immediately ordered Cao Ren to divert to Yuzhou and take over those counties.As a result, Cao Cao was sitting in half of Yuzhou and Yanzhou, and many advisers and generals competed to help him, and his strength gradually grew.

Later, Cao Cao finally won Lu Bu, and Lu Bu had no choice but to rely on Liu Bei. Later, he even had the opportunity to take Xuzhou. Lu Bu immediately recruited troops to expand his strength, and later competed with Cao Cao for Qingzhou. The whole territory north of the Yellow River in Qingzhou, where there are many Cao Caos, was not allowed to succeed.

Today's Xuzhou is a thorn in Cao Cao's heart. He has the opportunity to take Xuzhou over and over again, but he is blocked by Liu Bei and Lu Bu. How can Cao Cao not be angry?But now that Liu Bei has taken refuge in him, the only enemy in front of him is the brave and foolhardy Lu Bu whom he hates very much. Why doesn't Cao Cao covet Xuzhou, the granary of the Central Plains?

Now Cao Cao, not to mention the expansion of the city, is piled up with wealth, rice and grain. The most important thing is that the emperor is already in Xuchang, so why is Cao Cao worried?During the continuous March and April campaigns, Cao Cao was assisted by Guo Jia and Xun Yu, and Cao Cao was determined to take Lu Bu!
After days of fighting against Cao Cao, Lu Bu seemed to be exhausted physically and mentally. He drank alcohol with his wife Yan every day to soothe his sorrows, and handed everything over to Chen Gong for disposal.

In desperation, Chen Gong had to act on behalf of Lv Bu, but he didn't want to, but it aroused the great dissatisfaction of Lv Bu's general Hao Meng. Hao Meng only admired Lv Bu's bravery and was under his command. He didn't want Lv Bu to be so decadent now, which made Hao Meng secretly angry What's more, Lu Bu actually gave the power of order to Chen Gong? !

Only weak scholars!The more Hao Meng thought about it, the angrier she became, and said from left to right, "Lv Bu has treated the general so badly, why don't you just turn around and go to Cao Shijun!" If you don't miss the old love, you will kill yourself if you say something. Hao Meng secretly sent his confidantes to rush to Cao Ying with his own letter Xingye.

Unexpectedly, due to the lack of food in Lv Bu's army, Cao Xing, the general of Lv Bu's army, saw that his soldiers were hungry, and led several guards to hunt in the mountains. On the way back, he bumped into Hao Meng convinced. Cao Xing recognized that he was Hao Meng's confidant. He looked towards Cao Ying and was surprised. He was captured by the guards and got a letter from Hao Meng.

He hurried to the city to report to Lv Bu, but he didn't want Lv Bu and his wife Yan to drink day and night, and became intoxicated. Cao Xing suddenly thought of Chen Gong in a hurry, and hurried to Chen Gong's mansion to tell Hao Meng what he wanted to do. Come on, then set up a banquet and invite all the generals to the banquet.

Cao Xing even got a secret order from Chen Gong to ambush three hundred knives and axes in Chen Gong's mansion. If Chen Gong invited himself alone, Hao Meng might think something, but Chen Gong invited all the generals under Lu Bu's command, Hao Meng Without any doubt, I went to the appointment alone.

As usual, Hao Meng, who claimed to have made great achievements and did not put Chen Gong in his eyes, was still the last one to arrive. When he walked into the hall, he saw that all the generals were there, so he couldn't think of anything more, but Hao Meng looked around , there was no seat to sit, and he shouted angrily, "Chen Gongtai! How dare you insult me ​​like this! Wouldn't you invite me to a banquet without a seat!?"

Chen Gong smiled coldly, and said, "Where is the person who is about to die? Where is the sword and axe? Take it down for me!"

Hao Meng's heart trembled, and seeing that all the generals were looking at him with complicated eyes, they were shocked, and said unwillingly, "What is my crime? You want to kill someone?" And entered, surrounded Hao Meng, Chen Gong said in a cold voice, "I don't think about retreating from the enemy when I am in danger, but I want to join the enemy and get rich, this is the reason why I, Chen Gong, beheaded you!"

Hao Meng didn't want this to be known by Chen Gong, he was shocked, suddenly took the knife and slashed at Chen Gong, but a cold arrow shot from behind, hit Hao Meng's back heart, Hao Meng turned around with difficulty and saw that it was a normal day Friend Cao Xing!Cao Xing glanced at Hao Meng unbearably, and turned his head away.

Chen Gong shouted coldly, "Sword and Axe, what are you waiting for!" The swordsman rushed forward and chopped Hao Meng into meat, the generals sighed endlessly.

The general wanted to defect to the enemy, but Lü Bu's army collapsed immediately, and Guo Jia continued to attack the city for three days.

Seeing Lu Bu's decadent expression, Chen Gong scolded angrily, "My lord, is he afraid of Cao Cao? Cao Mengde only won a few battles. I don't know if my lord has the courage to kill Dong thief?"

When Lu Bu heard this, he immediately cheered up, thanked Chen Gong and said, "Thank you sir, the army is in danger now, please use your plan to conquer a certain army!"

Chen Gong hurriedly helped Lv Bu up, feeling melancholy, "The only solution now is to retreat to Xiapi. In Xiapi, there are still [-] elite soldiers of the lord, with sufficient food and grass. Cao Cao's army has come from afar. The longer the time, the more exhausted the soldiers will be. And the food and grass are getting longer and longer! So we can't fight for a long time, as long as the lord waits until Cao Cao's food is exhausted and retreats, he can make the army chase and kill, and win a big victory!"

Lu Bu immediately agreed to Chen Gong's plan and ordered the granaries in the city to be burned down, not leaving a grain of grain for Cao Cao. Taking advantage of the darkness, Lu Bu led the army to break through. The encircled Cao Jun opened a gap and led the elite to escape.

And Cao Cao was afraid that Chen Gong would set up an ambush on the way. Although he was angry, he did not chase desperately. In fact, when they saw the fire in the city, Guo Jia and others knew that something was wrong and that Lu Bu wanted to escape. However, with Lu Bu's bravery, anyone It can't be stopped, just watch Lu Bu go away in Juechen.

Knowing that the food and grass in the city had been burned, everyone knew that it was Lu Bu's plan to run out of food, and Guo Jia also offered a plan at the same time. Instead of chasing and killing Lu Bu desperately, he went to attack the cities in the north of Lu Bu to relieve the pressure on food and grass. Cao Cao ordered Xiahou Dun to lead [-] troops, falsely claiming [-], to scare Lv Bu in the north of Xiapi to prevent Lv Bu from attacking the rear of the army. Fighting with Cao Cao in the south and north and south......
