Juancheng.

"Lord, Yuan Shao sent an envoy, and he is waiting outside the door now." Cao Cao was very busy organizing troops to counterattack Puyang. He was a little surprised after hearing Lou Yi's words. Cao Cao didn't know that Yuan Shao had sent an envoy at this time.

What is the purpose of coming?

"Invite him in." Cao Cao now values ​​Lou Yi very much. There are many affairs in Juancheng, and Lou Yi has gradually become Cao Cao's personal secretary with his great achievements.

"Brother Meng De, I haven't seen you for a long time. Your official arrogance is getting bigger and bigger." Cao Cao looked up and saw that the person coming was his friend Xu You whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Xu You's courtesy name is Ziyuan. He has good personal relationships with Yuan Shao, Cao Cao and other second-generation officials in Luoyang. He was once a famous social butterfly in Luoyang City. He is now working under Yuan Shao. The envoy Lou Yi mentioned is Xu.

You.

"Ziyuan, why are you here?" Cao Cao was very excited after seeing Xu You. The two were best friends when they were in Luoyang. Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu were famous, so their friendship would not be so casual, but Xu You and Cao Cao

Their family backgrounds are similar, so the two of them can play together. Every theater in Luoyang City has their shared memories.

"I'm here to be a lobbyist for Ben Chu. I wonder if you, the governor of Yanzhou, would like to buy me a few drinks?" Xu You said with a smile.

"What else are you talking about, Yanzhou Governor... We haven't seen each other for a long time. Today I'll treat you to a drink." Cao Cao's expression changed, and Xu You's eyes flashed with unnoticeable joy.

At the beginning of the banquet, Cao Cao invited Cao Pi to accompany him. After Cao Pi learned that the person coming was Xu You, he always glanced at Cao Cao's feet. Didn't the Battle of Guandu not start yet? What was Xu You doing in Juancheng?

Xu You has been observing Cao Pi. Thanks to the publicity and promotion of Cao Song and Cao Cao in the past few years, Cao Pi's reputation has always been very loud. Many people know that Cao Cao has a son who is talented and intelligent but rarely quick-witted.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, a slight blush appeared on Cao Cao's dark face. The two kept chatting about their past romantic affairs, and did not talk about Yuan Shao, Lu Bu or even the march and war at all. Cao Pi was speechless as he listened.

It turns out that Cao Cao, who loves to go to clubs, had this habit when he was thirteen years old.

"Meng De, I thought I was happy back then, but it's really hard to see you now." Xu You stood up unsteadily, drank all the wine in his glass, and said to Cao Cao with blurred eyes.

"It's just that things in the world are unpredictable. Yanzhou is currently facing internal and external troubles. When you come here next time, I will definitely treat you to the best wine." Cao Cao's tone was full of worry.

"Oh, by the way, I came here to talk to you about this matter. Look at me... I was so happy when I saw you that I delayed my business." Xu You patted his face.

Tsukuru said guiltily.

"Why do I need to trouble you to come and tell Benchu ​​personally?" Cao Cao asked with a smile. Cao Cao's tone was high, as if he had drunk too much.

"I originally hoped that you would send all your family to Yecheng, so that you wouldn't have so many worries about dealing with Lu Bu." Xu You said inarticulately.

"When Zihuan was three years old, I heard him call me father. I have worked hard for so many years, but failed to take care of my family. I want to keep Zihuan by my side and raise him well. I have good intentions at first.

I understand." Cao Cao's tone became higher and higher, and his words became more blurred.

Xu You was still thinking about what to say, but Cao Cao shook his head and fell on the table. Seeing this, Xu You knew that the purpose of coming this time could not be achieved. He asked Cao Pi some trivial matters about Cao Cao and then left.

.

"Is Ziyuan gone?" Cao Cao got up from the desk and asked in a normal tone with clear enunciation.

"Sir, you have already left." Cao Pi replied.

"He is too unprofessional as a lobbyist. It seems that he wanted to take this opportunity to accept me as a vassal." Cao Cao looked at the door and said with a smile.

"Although most areas in Yanzhou are rebelling, we have sufficient military supplies and are far from being dependent on Yuan Shao." Cao Pi said calmly.

"You, an eight-year-old child, can understand things, but they still want to have some twisted thoughts." Cao Cao poured himself a glass of wine, and he ate all the food left on the table, "But that's not possible.

Call them stupid, after all, farming strategies and military management strategies are not something that people around Ben Chu could come up with."

After Cao Cao finished speaking, he burst out laughing. After all these years, Xu You still couldn't figure out how much Cao Cao really drank...

Puyang.

At Chen Gong's suggestion, Lu Bu gathered his troops in Puyang City. They stopped their southward expansion strategy and prepared to fight Cao Cao in Puyang to decide the ownership of Yanzhou.

"Gongtai, you came just in time. That boy Hou Cheng sent me some treasures. There are some ancient books in there, which I don't need. I will find someone to move them all to your house soon." Lu Bu looked excited.

Earthly said.

"Marquis Wen, this is the critical period for the decisive battle with Cao Cao. We should not pay too much attention to these things." Chen Gong reluctantly advised.

"Cao Cao was beaten to the point of panic by us last time. How dare he come to Puyang to cause trouble for us now?" Lu Bu said disdainfully.

"Cao Cao has many tricks, we still have to be careful. This time we transferred most of our troops back to Puyang to better deal with Cao Cao." Chen Gong said seriously.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave all these matters to the government anyway." Lu Bu laughed. Chen Gong compared Cao Cao and Lu Bu. He found that these two people were completely opposite in terms of how they behaved.

Chen Gong reported some military affairs to Lu Bu and then left. Lu Bu spent a long time picking out a golden phoenix hairpin from a pile of belongings. He held the phoenix hairpin with a gentle look on his face. If the familiar

When Lu Bu's people see his expressions, they may think that Lu Bu is crazy.

"She will definitely like it..."

"Marquis Wen, it's not good." The person who came was Lu Bu's general Hao Meng. He rushed into Lu Bu's room in a hurry.

"What's the matter?" Lu Bu asked unhappily.

"Cao Cao has brought many troops to fight back. He is now preparing to attack the city." Hao Meng said anxiously.

"What? He really dares to come back!" Lu Bu put on his armor, picked up Fang Tian's painted halberd and headed towards the city gate.

Cao Cao imitated Gao Shun's method of attacking Fan County. More than a dozen emergency-manufactured trebuchets appeared on the battlefield in Yanzhou again. Huge boulders fell from the sky. Bingzhou soldiers also tasted the huge power of trebuchets for the first time.

Cao Cao's vanguard army is the private armed force of Li Dian's uncle Li Qian. When Lu Bu attacked Chengshi County of Jiyin County, it was Li Qian who led this group of people to resist Lu Bu's attack.

Xiahou Dun also came with his troops to capture the flag for Cao Cao. At this time, Fan County was no longer in danger. Xiahou Dun handed over all the defense of Fan County to Han Hao, and took the troops he recruited to share some troops for Cao Cao. pressure.

"Marquis Wen, I am willing to lead my troops out of the city to meet the enemy." Zhang Liao looked at his dilapidated tower and asked Lu Bu for a battle.

"I would also like to go." Cao Xing also asked.

"Okay! Since Cao Cao still dares to challenge us, we Bingzhou men are not without temper. Wen Yuan and Zian will lead their troops out of the city to meet the enemy. I will send crossbowmen to support you." Lu Bu said angrily.

When Lu Bu saw Cao Cao's army outside the city, he already had the idea of ​​​​leaving the city in person, but he remembered Chen Gong's advice. As a prince, it was better not to go into battle personally, so he handed over this important task to Zhang Liao and Cao Xing. Two beloved generals who took the initiative to fight.

"Wei." Zhang Liao and Cao Xing clasped their fists and accepted the order. This was the best opportunity to make meritorious deeds.

"Wen Yuan's old injury hasn't healed yet, so you have to be careful." Lu Bu said with concern. Zhang Liao's temper suited Lu Bu the most. Zhang Liao was neither as dull as Gao Shun nor as steady as Chen Gong. His martial arts Very good, Lu Bu has always liked Zhang Liao as his subordinate.

Zhang Liao and Cao Xing led two groups of cavalry to fight out. Lu Bu sent Hou Cheng and Cheng Lian to supervise the battle on the city tower. Cao's army's ladder had been set up, and the broken city wall was in urgent need of defenders.

When Xiahou Dun saw a group of men coming out of the city, he rushed over with his troops. During this period, Xiahou Dun was very depressed. Not only was he kidnapped by bandits, but his battle in Fan County was not particularly smooth.

The troops with Gao Shun's camp as the main force took turns invading Fan County. The Fan County defenders suffered heavy casualties. If Chen Gong hadn't withdrawn Gao Shun, Xiahou Dun might not have been able to leave, so he needed to vent his anger now.

"The thief will die!" Xiahou Dun faced Cao Xing head-on. Their spears were intertwined and sparks were fired many times. Xiahou Dun's martial arts skills were higher than Cao Xing's. After more than ten rounds, Cao Xing was unable to catch him. Riding a war horse to retreat.

The foot strength of the Bingzhou horse was better than that of ordinary war horses. Cao Xing quickly distanced himself from Xiahou Dun. Seeing that the pursuit was fruitless, Xiahou Dun had no choice but to attack the Bingzhou soldiers around him. Cao Xing watched Xiahou Dun stop pursuing him, and he

In anger, he took out his powerful bow, picked up an arrow, and shot Xiahou Dun.

Xiahou Dun didn't notice Cao Xing's sneak attack at all. An arrow pierced Xiahou Dun's eye and blood immediately flowed out. The surrounding Cao army soldiers and generals were shocked when they saw Xiahou Dun being injured. Xiahou Dun was only as important to Cao Cao's military group as Cao Cao.

"How dare you, a despicable and shameless person, stab someone in the back!" Xiahou Dun was so angry that he rode straight towards Cao Xing. Cao Xing did not expect that Xiahou Dun hurt his eyes and still rushed towards him regardless of Cao Xing.

When they were stunned, the distance between the two became shorter and shorter. Xiahou Dun raised his spear high, and Cao Xing quickly blocked it with his spear.

Xiahou Dun made an angry thrust, and Cao Xing was pierced by a spear. A generation of famous generals died under the walls of Puyang City.

"Hurry and cover Yuan Rang's retreat!" Xiahou Dun's injury attracted Li Dian's attention. Li Dian hurriedly called on the soldiers around him to escort Xiahou Dun back. Xiahou Dun's eyes were dripping with blood, and he only felt that his eyes were dark.<
