Cao Cao led the generals to fight for a day and a night, and the soldiers were very exhausted. Seeing that it was getting late, Cao Cao was about to let the army stop and rest for a while. At this time, the shouts from behind came from a distance. Lu Bu took the lead in leading the army to chase him again. While chasing Lu Bu, he shouted: "Don't leave, leave the old thief Cao Cao, keep his life." Cao Cao and his generals cried and wiped tears, looked at each other, and had to escape.

Cao Cao was running away in panic, and a soldier arrived in the south. Cao Cao smiled bitterly. Could it be that I would be buried here today? Cao Cao was discouraged, but found that the army was General Xiahou Yuan. This finally made Cao Cao relieved. Cao Cao escaped from death. Xiahou Yuan led a large army to intercept Lu Bu's battle. The two armies showed their magical powers, and the battle was difficult to distinguish. At dusk, the sky suddenly rained heavily, and a storm storm broke out. Lu Bu and Xiahou Yuan had to lead their troops back to Cao Cao to return to the Dazhai barracks and rewarded their soldiers. Today, they were fighting to the death, otherwise they could come back there.

But Lu Bu led his army back to Puyang City. Knowing that Chen Gong was indeed foresighted, he went to discuss with Chen Gong. Seeing that Lu Bu seemed to have changed his temperament, Chen Gong began to be modest and cautious. He was also happy to be able to listen to his words. Chen Gong said: "There is a rich family in Puyang City. There is a family with a family of servants and a thousand servants. Now he is the richest man in Puyang City. The general can order the Tian family to send someone to send Cao Cao a secret letter. As long as he says, "Lu Wenhou is cruel and unkind, the people in the city are very resentful to Lu Bu, and the rich merchants do not welcome Lu.

Bu was in Puyang City. Lu Bu had no choice but to send troops to attack Liyang quietly. On the one hand, he wanted to avoid the grievances of the people, and on the other hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack Liyang in Lu Ning and head straight to Yecheng to avenge his revenge. Now that Zang Ba is in Puyang City, he can send troops overnight. My Tian family is in the city.’ If Cao Cao comes, as long as he lures him into the city, we will set fire at the four gates and ambush a large number of troops outside. Even if Cao Cao has the talent to overcome the world, he will not be able to escape at that time."

After hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu acted according to the plan this time and immediately ordered the Tian family to secretly submit a letter to Cao Cao. Cao Cao's army was newly defeated and was thinking about the next battle plan in the tent. He heard that the wealthy Tian family in Puyang City sent someone to send a secret letter. After reading the secret letter, Cao Cao was very happy and immediately shouted: "It's really God to help me take back Puyang City."

Cao Cao's subordinate Liu Ye said, "Lord, although Lu Bu is not a plan, Chen Gong has many tricks, and there are probably frauds. Lu Bu and Lu Ning have a deep hatred. However, Lu Bu was beaten by Lu Ning last year and was thrown away by Lu Ning. Why did he suddenly dare to attack Lu Ning? He didn't know how powerful Lu Ning was. He knew that he was defeated and dared to lead troops to go? This must be Chen Gong's plan. I hope the lord is careful. Even if the lord wants to go, he will divide the troops into three groups, and the second army is ambushing outside the city, and the army will enter the city. This is safer."

Xun You also said: "Lord, I think it's Chen Gong's plan. Now Lu Bu is brave enough to not dare to attack Big Bear. When he sees Big Bear, he is like a mouse and cat. He has the courage to trouble Big Bear. Besides, our army is attacking Puyang City. Will he dare to leave at this time?"

After hearing this, Cao Cao thought for a while and said, "There is no better way for our army now. As long as we are careful, even if it is Chen Gong's plan, there will be two large armies outside our army ambushing them. It won't be a big problem if you don't want to come. Let's try the attack first and you will know whether it is true or not."

Cao Cao led three armies to the city of Puyang and saw flags erected on the city walls. There was a white flag with the word "Yi" at the corner of the west city gate. It was a secret letter from Tian. He was very happy. Just after noon, the Xicheng Gate opened and two generals led the army out of the city to fight. Hou Cheng was walking in front and Zang Ba was behind.

Cao Cao asked Xiahou Dun to fight and directly led all the troops to Hou Cheng's killing generals. Hou Cheng could not resist Xiahou Dun's attack and returned to the city to escape. Xiahou Dun rushed to the suspension bridge and met Zang Ba, the general under Lu Bu. After a moment of contact, Zang Ba was defeated and returned to the city. Pi Shi, soldiers in the city came out of the city to see Cao Cao, and said that it was sent by the Tian family and submitted a secret letter, promising to the first tenth day of the night, and the gongs were ringing on the city wall as a signal, so that troops could be sent to the city gate. Tian family would perform on time.

Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, this may be Chen Gong's plan."

Li Dian said: "Why don't you go into the city, let us go into the city first, and then the lord enters the city after our army completely controls the city."

Cao Cao did not listen to the crowd, so he asked Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong to lead an army outside the city, and personally led the four generals Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin and Lu Qian to kill the city in Puyang. After the first ten kings, the moon in the sky had not yet come out, and only the sound of gongs was heard from the Xicheng Gate. The shouting suddenly rose. The torches were ripped away beside the city gate, the city gate was wide open, and the suspension bridge fell to the ground.

Cao Cao led his army to the Puyang City and went all the way to the prefecture. No pedestrians were seen on the road. Cao Cao knew that he had been trapped and quickly turned his horse's head and shouted loudly: "Retreat the troops, we are trapped." In an instant, the drums and drums around him were loud and loud, and the four gates of the city burst into the sky. The shouts were like rivers and seas boiling. Zang Ba came out of the east and Hou Cheng came out of the west. Cao Cao had to lead the army to rush towards the north gate, and Hao Meng and Cao Xing came out of the north again. Cao Cao led the army to kill the generals to the south again. Cheng Lian and Wei Xu also came out of the south.

Cao Cao was in trouble now, with enemies all over the world. Xiahou Yuan, Li Dian, Le Jin, and Lu Qian were fighting to break through. Finally, they could kill to the suspension bridge, but found that Cao Cao was missing. There was no way for several people to enter the city again to find Cao Cao. The few people killed several in and out, but they did not find Cao Cao. However, Cao Cao saw that Cao Cao was fighting out of the city, and he was about to follow up. Lu Bu's soldiers rushed over. Cao Cao could not leave the south gate. He just went to the north gate alone and ran into Lu Bu and came in the firelight with Fang Tian painting halberd.

Cao Cao had no choice but to cover his face with his hand and rode his horse by. Lu Bu patted his horse's followers and tapped Cao Cao's helmet with the Fangtian painting halberd in his hand and said, "Where is Cao Cao?"

Cao Cao pointed his finger in the opposite direction and said, "The person riding a yellow horse in front is the one."

After hearing this, Lu Bu left Cao Cao, rode his horse forward and chased him. Cao Cao quickly turned his horse's head and headed towards the east city gate. He happened to meet Xiahou Yuan. Li Dian and the others were looking for Cao Cao. After they saw Cao Cao, they covered their efforts to kill and opened a bloody road and ran towards the city gate.

At this time, the fire at the city gate was extremely strong. Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian rode a horse in front of him and rushed out of the Free Electronic City Gate. Cao Cao followed closely behind. As soon as Cao Cao had just left the city gate, a fire beam suddenly fell from the city gate, and it hit Cao Cao's back hips. The horse fell to the ground. Cao Cao pushed the beam onto the ground with his hands, and his arms and hair were all burned. Xiahou Yuan and Li Dian returned to rescue Cao Cao, broke through the fire and left the city gate. Xiahou Dun and Cao Hong also fought to rescue each other until dawn.

Cao Cao led the generals back to the camp, and the generals came over to greet Cao Cao. Cao Cao laughed to the sky and said, "I misunderstood the plan of every man, and I must avenge this revenge."

After hearing this, Xun You said, "Lord, the plan should be implemented quickly."

Cao Cao said, "Now I can only follow the plan. I will tell the outside world that I was injured by the fire beam and I am now dead. When Lu Bu heard this, he would definitely lead his troops to attack us. We just need to ambush in Maling Mountain. When Lu Bu's army came, our army attacked halfway. In this way, Lu Bu could capture it."

Subsequently, the soldiers in Cao Cao's camp were wearing mourning clothes, with white flags and white banners everywhere, and soldiers were rumored to have Cao Cao died. This and the actions had long been reported to Lu Bu in Puyang City, saying that Cao Cao was injured by a fire beam and his whole body was burned beyond recognition. When his soldiers rescued him into the camp, he was already dead.

After hearing this, Lu Bu immediately raised his troops and came to Cao Cao's camp in Maling Mountain. When Lu Bu's army first arrived at Cao Cao's camp, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly sounded and the ambushers were coming out. Lu Bu barely fought a decisive battle, but the soldiers and horses suffered heavy losses. Lu Bu was defeated and fled back to Puyang City. He never dared to go out of the city to fight again and could not stand.

In Yecheng, Lu Ning called Guo Jia, Lu Su, Ju Su, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Gao Shun, Dian Wei, Zhang Liao, Zhang He, Xin Ping, and Xin Pi. Lu Ning said: "Today I will gather you all, mainly to say goodbye to everyone, and to arrange defense and government affairs and work. It is mid-October now, and there is probably a lot of things in Jinyang City. I don't have more time to stay in Yecheng. I will call you all to have a good talk before the New Year."

Seeing Lu Ning finishing his opening remarks, Guo Jia said directly: "The defense of Jizhou is under General Zhang He and the assistance of General Heizi. Jizhou is temporarily stationed at 20,000 Rising Bear Border and 30,000 Feixiong Army soldiers. The army is stationed in Liyang. We must focus on guarding important gates and docks along the Yellow River. The defense fortifications in these places should be improved as soon as possible. The walls that should be increased will be increased, and the areas that should be thickened will be increased to raise the defense capabilities to a new height. These work must be carried out quickly. Especially Liyang, Baima Port, Gaotang Port, and Yanjin Port should be careful; pay close attention to the dynamics in Puyang City. Liyang City is a beachfront position for the enemy to advance north, and its geographical location is very important."

Zhang He and Heizi said: "Please ensure that the task is completed."

Guo Jia continued: "General Zhao Yun, General Xu Huang, you two lead the remaining 50,000 troops to Liaodong to wait for Tian Chou's order."

Zhao Yun and Xu Huang said, "Yes."

Lu Ning said: "Mr. Zhengping, you should serve as the governor of Jizhou first. The Xin brothers will assist you. Other civilian officials will be transferred from Jinyang soon. I hope you can improve the economy as soon as possible so that the people can live a better life. Land policies must be implemented. No matter who people or any family must abide by it. This is a matter of principle and must not be careless. And second brother, if you lead troops to Jizhou, you should ask Mr. Zhengping for advice if you have any questions. Mr. Zhengping's strategy ranks in the world and is definitely in the top ten. I have no choice but to have no one in Jizhou, so I can only compromise Zhengping to preside over the work in Jizhou first. So if you have any questions, you should ask Zhengping more."

Zhang He said: "It's the eldest brother."

Ju Su, Xin Ping, Xin Pi said: "Don't worry, lord, we will not let your hope down."
