Chapter 411 Cao Cao's Recapture of Yanzhou 1

After the Chinese New Year, after the beginning of spring, Cao Cao personally led a large army to kill Puyang where Lu Bu temporarily lived. Cao Cao asked Xu Zhu and Cheng Yu to be the vanguard, Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Dun to be the left army, Li Dian and Le Jin to be the right army, Cao Cao led Cao Hong, Cao Chun, Cao Ang, Xun You, Xu You and others to lead the central army, Yu Jin and Lu Qian to be the rear army, and they rushed towards Puyang in a mighty manner.

However, Lu Bu in Puyang City was originally a brave man, and he was useless except for his bravery. However, with Chen Gong's support, the situation was different. According to historical records, Chen Gong should also be a very outstanding strategist. Although his ability cannot be compared with Guo Jia, Xun Yu, Zhou Yu, Pang Tong, Zhuge Liang and others, he is at least on the same level as Tian Feng, Cheng Yu and others. However, he encountered locust disasters that had not been encountered in a century and the plagues in the south.

This made Chen Gong have no good way to solve the problem. After all, what he lacked the most now is food and grass, and internal affairs itself are not Chen Gong's strengths, so there was a tragic scene of people being eaten in Puyang City. Of course, the soldiers under Lu Bu only found out that they were eating human flesh after eating. Hou Cheng and Zangba of Lu Bu also led the soldiers to rob around. As for Zhang Liao, Gao Shun? Because of my appearance, the two of them have now come to my subordinates.

When Lu Bu saw Cao Cao personally led a large army to the city of Puyang, he immediately led his soldiers out of the city to fight. His adviser Chen Gong immediately advised: "The general cannot go out of the city to fight at this time. Cao's army has many generals and several times the soldiers are as strong as our army. In addition, the morale is very high. If our army goes to fight, it will definitely be unfavorable. It will be not too late to wait until Hou Cheng, Zangba and several generals come back to fight. By then, Cao's army will be exhausted, and our army will easily win."

After hearing this, Lu Bu laughed and said, "Who am I afraid of? Cao Cao's son is my opponent. His generals are all defeated generals under my command. Why not wait? I will lead my troops out of the city to capture Cao Cao's son back to the city."

When Chen Gong saw Lu Bu's timid temper again, he also knew that Lu Bu was a simple-minded and well-developed person. If he didn't persuade him, if he could do whatever he wanted, then Puyang City would be really in danger. "General, Cao's army is powerful at this time, and the general does not need to fight a head-on decisive battle with Cao Cao's army. We can rely on Puyang City to defend. After Cao Cao's army attacked for a period of time, there would definitely be problems with its food supply. Then he would naturally withdraw his troops. Let's talk about it.

If some city walls are used as support, our army will suffer much less losses. If Cao Cao's army wants to attack the city wall, its losses will definitely be huge. If our army goes out of the city to fight decisively, it will have no advantage at all. Moreover, as long as our army holds for several days, Hou Cheng, Zangba, Zhang Miao and Zhang Chao in Dingtao City will also lead troops to support. At that time, even if Cao Cao does not retreat, we can still cooperate inside and outside. If this happens, Cao Cao's army will be defeated."

After hearing Chen Gong's words, Lu Bu laughed loudly and said after laughing: "Public Terrace, you are a scholar, who knows how to lead troops to fight. Isn't this the morale of Cao's army and destroy your own might? In my eyes, Cao Cao's army is just garbage. Someone is my opponent of Lu Bu. If I lead a soldier out of the city, I will definitely beat Cao's army to death. Gongtai, you can prepare a celebration banquet for me in the city."

After hearing this, Chen Gong said again: "General, you can't lead troops out of the city to fight..."

Lu Bu was a man who was stubborn and arrogant. He knew how powerful Lao Cao was. During the ancient Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao was a very great military strategist, a politician and a generation of heroes. His ability was comparable to that of Lu Bu. Even if he was leading troops to fight, no one would be right besides Zhou Yu. Lu Bu could hear Chen Gong's words, and he didn't know Chen Gong's good intentions, so he still did his own way and led the army out of the city to fight Cao Cao's army. Seeing that he could not persuade Lu Bu, Chen Gong could only sigh. What was the solution? Chen Gong probably regretted helping Lu Bu at this time.

Seeing that Lu Bu was leading his troops to fight, Cao Cao walked out of the formation with a curse and cursed, Old Cao laughed from his heart. He immediately asked Xu Zhu to fight Lu Bu. The two sides fought for more than 20 rounds, and there was no victory or defeat. Cao Cao immediately said to his opponents: "We don't need to talk about fighting alone against Lu Bu, and Lu Bu is not something that can be defeated by one person. You all go up together and surround Zhongbu and kill him. As long as Lu Bu is killed, the Puyang problem will be solved, and even the Yanzhou problem will be solved."

After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xiahou Dun, Xiahou Yuan, Le Jin, Li Dian, Cao Hong and others immediately killed Lu Bu together. Now Lu Bu can't stand it. No matter how brave you are, you cannot bear the siege of the six or seven generals under Cao Cao. Moreover, these generals who besieged Lu Bu were famous generals during the Three Kingdoms period and elites under Cao Cao.

Seeing that Cao Cao was not following the rules, Lu Bu would not fight him one-on-one. He could beat so many people, and there was no way. If he didn't leave, he would probably be here. Lu Bu shot with a fake shot and turned around and fled to the city of Puyang. What else could his soldiers fight? The main general was beaten to escape. Of course, the soldiers would not fight desperately. They all learned from Lu Bu and turned around to escape to save their lives. If they couldn't escape, they simply surrendered to Cao Cao's army.

Since the Tian family, standing on the wall of Puyang, after surrendering to Lu Bu, they saw that Lu Bu had no desire to love the people, and were even more accustomed to being brave but not a resourceful person. They would not accomplish anything big. Especially when they saw Lu Bu and others, they even wanted to eat the people in Puyang City, they were even more discouraged. They had long been resentful to Lu Bu, but they were afraid of Lu Bu's bravery and did not dare to act rashly. Seeing Lu Bu leading the army to flee, they not only did not open the door, but ordered people to pull the suspension bridge up. After Lu Bu fled under the wall, they shouted loudly: "Hurry open the city gate, open the city gate quickly."

Standing on the city wall, Tian laughed and said, "General Lu, I have joined General Cao. You do everything evil in Puyang City, and you are clean of all bad things. The people in the city regard you as a jackal, tiger and leopard."

After hearing this, Lu Bu shouted at Tian's family. There was no way. Cao Cao's army behind him was about to kill him. Now he could only save his life first, and the rest could only be to worry about it later. Lu Bu led thousands of defeated generals to escape in the direction of Dingtao. Chen Gong and Wei Xu in Puyang City saw that Lu Bu was defeated and fled, and Tian's family in the city rebelled again. They had no choice. Tian was a big family in Puyang City, and many of its soldiers were related to his family. If they rebelled now, it means that Puyang City was finished. Chen Gong and Wei Xu had to open the east gate of Puyang City and protect Lu Bu's family to escape from the city. After escaping from the city, they then met with Lu Bu's remaining soldiers and fled to Dingtao together.
