A cannon sounded in the state government office, and four blazing fires rose from the sky. Dian Wei sent his two halberds in front of Cao Cao's horse. He heard the sound of golden drums and shouts like a river boiling over the sea. Zhang Liao came out of the east alley, and Zhang Liao came out of the west alley.
Turn out Zang Ba and attack from both sides to cover up the kill.
Cao Cao was defeated and walked through the north gate. Hao Meng and General Cao Xing came out of the road. They fought for a while. Cao Cao hurriedly walked towards the south gate. Generals Gao Shun and Hou Cheng blocked the way. Dian Wei glared and gritted his teeth and rushed over. Gao Shun,
Hou Cheng walked out of the city.
Dian Wei left the suspension bridge, turned around and did not see Cao Cao. He turned over and rushed into the city. He bumped into Li Dian at the door. Dian Wei asked anxiously: "Where is my lord?"
Li Dian replied: "I can't find him either."
Dian Wei frowned and said, "You are urging the reinforcements outside the city, and I will go in to find the master."
Li Dian went out to urge reinforcements, but Dian Wei rushed left and right to kill the generals in the city, but still couldn't find Cao Cao, so he rushed out of the city again and bumped into Le Jin at the edge of the ditch. Le Jin asked: "Where is my lord?"
Dian Wei replied: "I went back and forth twice, but I couldn't find it."
Le Jin said: "Let's fight back together to save our lord!"
Dian Wei and Le Jin came to the gate. Cannons rolled down the city, but Le Jin's horse could not enter. Dian Wei rushed into Puyang City to look for Cao Cao.
, so rare in the world!
Cao Cao had seen Dian Wei go out and killed him, so he wanted to go out afterwards, but he was stopped by people and horses from all directions. He was not allowed to go out through the south gate, so he could only turn to the north gate. In the light of the fire, he saw Lu Bu riding a horse with a halberd, and he was chasing Cao Cao.
Soldiers, Cao Cao whipped his horse and rode past.
Lü Bu came up from behind, struck Cao Cao on his helmet with his halberd, and shouted, "Do you know where Cao Cao is?"
Cao Cao pointed back at the person in front and said, "The person riding the yellow horse in front is Cao Cao!"
Lu Bu abandoned Cao Cao and patted his horse to chase the fake Cao Cao in front. Cao Cao turned his horse's head and looked at the east gate to leave. At this time, he met Dian Wei. The big man Dian Wei said: "The south gate has collapsed, so hurry out of the east gate!"
Dianwei killed a bloody alley, and when he reached the doorway, the flames were very strong. Firewood was pushed down from the city, and red curtains were everywhere. Dianwei used his halberd to push it aside. Pegasus came out first with smoke and fire. Cao Cao happened to come to the doorway, and the city tower collapsed.
The next beam is hitting the rear of Cao Cao's horse.
The horse immediately fell to the ground. Cao Cao used his hand to support the beam and set it upside down in the fire. He held the beam arm in his hand and burned all his mustache and beard. Dian Wei went to the edge of the ditch and met Xia Houyuan. The two of them rescued Cao Cao. They came out of the fire. Xia Houyuan
That is to say, he hugged Cao Cao on his horse, and Dian Wei drove away on the main road. Cao's soldiers and Lu's soldiers fought with each other outside the city until dawn, when Cao's soldiers returned to their camp.
After returning to the camp, everyone bowed to the ground and congratulated Cao Cao. Cao Cao looked up and laughed and said, "I will repay you if you fall into a common man's plan by mistake!"
Guo Jia offered his plan and said: "The plan can be carried out quickly, and Lu Bu will be captured!"
Cao Cao narrowed his little eyes slightly and made a plan: "Send someone to Lu Bu's stronghold to report my death. Lu Bu will come and attack. I will ambush my troops in the Maling Mountains and wait for Lu Bu's troops to cross halfway and attack them."
Guo Jia praised: "What a good strategy!"
So he ordered the army to mourn and lied about Cao Cao's death. Someone had come to Puyang to report that Cao Cao's limbs were burned by fire and he was dead when he arrived at the stronghold. Lu Bu then ordered his troops to kill and rush to Maling Mountain. When they were about to arrive at Cao Cao's stronghold,
, a drum sounded, ambushes appeared everywhere, and there was a melee. Lu Bu fought to the death and escaped, and fled back to Puyang in defeat. Both sides refused to agree and did not advance.
In that month, locusts were everywhere, eating up all the rice. In the whole territory of Guandong, one dendrobium per grain and fifty guans were eaten. The people ate each other. Cao Cao ran out of food and led his troops back to Juancheng to live in the famine. Lu Bu also led his troops.
After leaving, they settled in Shanyang to eat, so the two families stopped fighting.
Cao Cao and Lu Bu were fighting fiercely, but Tao Qian was seriously ill in Xuzhou at this time, so he invited Mi Zhu, Mi Fang and others to discuss the matter. Tao Qian wanted to give Xuzhou to Liu Bei, but Liu Bei still refused to accept it, and all the officials He begged Liu Bei, but Tao Qian died soon after, so Xuande led Xuzhou Mu, Mi Zhu, Sun Qian and others to assist him. Liu Bei took all Xiaopei's troops and horses into the city, went out to pacify the people, and arranged the funeral. Qian died at the age of sixty-three.
Later there was a poem praising:
Tao Gongzu, the prefect of Xuzhou, was a towering figure in Liang Dongcai. He served the country and supported the Han Dynasty. He loved the people and upheld the government and established the Yao Order.
Knowing others, being self-restrained and diligent, Sheng Defang's reputation spread throughout the country. The traitor was dead before he was eliminated, and the loyal and good were heartbroken when he heard about it.
When Cao Cao learned that Tao Qian was dead in Juancheng, Liu Bei and Liu Xuande led the herdsmen of Xuzhou. He was furious: "I can't avenge you. You won't take half an arrow to seize Xuzhou! I will kill Liu Bei first, and then kill Qian Qian's corpse." I will avenge the injustice of my ancestor!" Immediately issued the order to attack Xuzhou Liu Bei soon. Liu Bei really couldn't sit still, and disaster was coming again!
Cao Cao was preparing to raise an army to attack Xuzhou. Xun Yu rushed in and admonished: "In the past, our ancestors protected the pass and occupied Hanoi with force. They both used deep roots to consolidate their base and control the world. If you advance enough to defeat the enemy, if you retreat enough to defend it, even if you are trapped, And finally the great cause of Ji. The Lord's main mission is Yanzhou, Qihe, the important place of Jihe, which is also Guanzhong and Hanoi in the past. If we take Xuzhou now, if we leave more troops, it will be useless. If we leave less troops, Lu Bu will take advantage of the enemy. This is There is no Yanzhou. If Xuzhou is lost, where should the general return? Even though Tao Qian is dead now, Liu Bei is still there to guard it. The residents in the city will remember the virtues of their father and brother in the past and will help Liu Bei fight to the death. Abandon this and take Xuzhou, abandon the big one and take it. It's a small thing, to get rid of the roots and seek the end, to exchange danger for safety, I hope the general will think about it carefully."
Cao Cao felt that Xun Yu was right, so he asked: "This year the soldiers have no food. What should I do?"
Xun Yu proposed a plan: "It is better to seize the Chen territory in the east and send the troops to eat from Runan and Yingchuan. The remaining Yellow Turban party Diao De, Zhou Ling, He Lin, Wang Hui and others plundered the prefectures and counties, and there was a lot of gold, silk and grain. This When the thieves are easy to defeat again, they can use the money and food to support the three armies. The court will be happy and the people will be happy, which is a matter of heaven." Cao Cao was overjoyed when he heard this. In December of that year, he left Xiahou Yuanrang and Cao Ren to guard Juancheng. At other places, I will lead my troops first and briefly capture the Chen territory, and then follow up with you and Ying two territories.
The remnants of the Yellow Turbans, Diao De, Zhou Ling, He Lin, Wang Hui and others, heard that Cao Cao had led his troops to attack, so they led a crowd to welcome them. They met at the foot of Yangshan Mountain. There is no queue.
Cao Cao ordered strong bows and hard crossbows to shoot, and then ordered Dian Wei to ride out. Dian Wei held two halberds in his arms and went back and forth in front of the formation. Diao De ordered deputy marshal Qian Zhai to go out to fight Dian Wei. Dian Wei's battle was inconsistent, and one halberd stabbed deputy marshal Qian Zhai. After dismounting, Cao Cao led the crowd to take advantage of the situation, beheaded He Lin, Wang Hui and other Yellow Turban leaders, and drove them past Yangshan to the stronghold.
The next day, the Yellow Turban Zhou Ling led his troops in and formed a large array. One general went out to fight on foot. He wore gold and wiped his forehead, wore a green brocade fine jacket, was nine feet and five inches in length, and carried an iron rod. His name was "King Tongtian Shura". Fan came to the front of the formation to fight.
Cao Cao wanted to order Li Dian to fight, but Cao Hong beside him said: "I am willing to capture this thief for the general!" He then dismounted and stepped out with his sword in hand. The two sides fought in front of the formation for two hours. The winner was indistinguishable, but Cao Hong deceived him. Defeated and fled, Wang Fan came. Cao Hong used the back of his sword to slash at him. He turned around and hit Wang Fan in the leg. Wang Fan died on the battlefield. Li Dian flew straight into the bandit formation and captured Zhou Ling. He came over to cover up and kill the bandit. Zhong, Youda, Youtong, Zhang Xin, Chen Yun, Wei Kun and other golden leaders were all killed. Cao Jun seized their weapons, gold, silk, and countless grain and supplies, and many of them surrendered.
Diao De was alone and led hundreds of horsemen to rush towards Gepi. As he was marching, an army broke out from behind the mountain. He was the first strong man. He was eight feet long and ten waists wide. He had a majestic appearance and unparalleled courage. He blocked the way and Diao De held up his gun.
They went out to meet him, but after just one round, they were forced off their horses alive by the big man. The others were all dismounted and tied up, and they were all driven into Gebeiwu.
