In August of the first year of Jian 'an, Liu Bei was ordered to attack Yuan Shu, leaving Zhang Fei to defend the city, Yang Lei, Chen Deng, Mi Zhu, Chen Qun, Sun Qian and others as assistants. [] Flying drunk, flogging Cao Bao. Zhang Bao was very angry and contacted Lu Bu to plot Xuzhou. - Book of the Eastern Han Dynasty
After seeing Cao Bao's letter, Lu Bu decided to send troops. He hurriedly put on his armor and mounted his horse, leading five hundred cavalry to go first. He ordered Chen Gong to lead the army to follow behind, while he ordered Wei Xu and Song Xian to lead the Breaking Formation Camp and three thousand infantry to guard Xiao Pei to protect his family and prevent Huang Zhong from attacking from Jiuli Mountain. After thinking about it, Chen Gong felt that there was nothing wrong with this matter, so he nodded in agreement. However, he had an ominous feeling.
Not long after Cao Bao's messenger left, Mi Fang led a group of soldiers to surround Cao Bao's residence. The guards had just sounded the alarm when Mi Fang had already led her troops to attack. Cao Bao was in the bedroom. When he heard the alarm, he knew that the matter had been exposed. He wanted to escape, but he was in so much pain that he could not get up. By the time his trusted aides helped him up, Mi Fang had already arrived with her men. Cao Bao saw that the situation was hopeless and could not help but sigh,""Forget it, forget it. This is because of Leopard himself. Zifang, you and I used to be colleagues, how about letting my family go?”Mi Fang looked at Cao Bao, then at the soldiers wielding swords and sabers beside Cao Bao, as well as the terrified women hiding behind the soldiers. She sighed and said,"Cao Bao, you and I are colleagues. I won't kill you, and Commandant Yang has ordered me to capture you alive. Someone came and tied Cao Bao up and sent him to the Provincial Governor's Office to await his punishment.”Cao Bao's face was ashen and defeated. He waved his hand weakly, asking his personal guards to put down their weapons and surrender. Although the bodyguards were unwilling, they looked at the arrows in front of them and pointed at their swords and spears. Finally, they put down their weapons and surrendered. When Mi Fang saw that the matter had been settled, she ordered Cao Bao to be escorted to the Provincial Governor's Office. The rest were tied up and thrown into the room, guarded by soldiers, awaiting punishment.
After entering the Provincial Governor's Office, Cao Bao was surprised to find Chen Deng sitting at the head of the table. Seeing his surprise, Chen Deng smiled and said,""Cao Bao, do you want to live or die?”When Cao Bao heard this, he hurriedly said,"Of course I want to live."”"I knew you would want to live, so I prepared a way for you." Chen Deng smiled. Men, untie General Cao." Someone had already stepped forward to loosen the ropes. "Since you want to live, you have to do this," said Chen Deng.”Cao Bao's face turned pale when he heard that, but he had no choice but to nod repeatedly.
In the Yun Long Academy of the Yun Long Mountains, Chen Qun looked at the three hundred people before him and ordered,""Cao Bao colluded with Lu Bu to launch a sneak attack on Xu Prefecture while the lord was out. Unexpectedly, we saw through him. Tonight, we will defeat Lu Bu.”Among this group of students, Huang Xu was the oldest. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old and was full of vigor. In addition, everyone was brainwashed by Yang Lei, and their relatives were either officials or soldiers in Liu Bei's army. They had long regarded Liu Bei as their everything. Hearing that Cao Bao and Lu Bu were going to attack Xuzhou, the crowd was already furious. After being provoked by Chen Qun, they immediately shouted and rushed to Xiao Pei to fight to the death with Lu Bu. Chen Qun looked at the childish-looking students in front of him and smiled slightly.""Since everyone wants to go, then listen to my orders. We only have three hundred men, and Lu Bu is brave. If we fight him head-on, we will be courting death. Besides, I have already discussed it with Lieutenant Yang.”Everyone obeyed and went to prepare.
In the stronghold of Jiuli Mountain, Huang Zhong, who had been promoted to power, was very satisfied with his current situation. Of course, he was also very cautious and steady in doing things. Every day, he was either dealing with military affairs or patrolling the stronghold. His days were quite fulfilling. That night, Huang Zhong, who had just finished his duty, returned to the lounge and was about to rest when a soldier suddenly reported,""My lord. Lord Mo requests an audience." When Huang Zhong heard this, he found it strange, but he didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly got up and went to the hall, only to see Mi Zhu walking back and forth. When he saw Huang Zhong, he didn't bother to bow and hurriedly said,""Hansheng, something happened." Huang Zhong's heart sank as he hurriedly asked,""What happened? "Could it be that the lord's army was defeated or…" Huang Zhong did not dare to continue. Mi Zhu was stunned." My lord has only sent troops for a few days. How can there be news so soon?" he asked. It was Lu Bu of Xiaopei who wanted to attack Xuzhou.”He told her everything that had happened. When Huang Zhong heard that it was not Liu Bei, he was relieved and waited for Mi Zhu to finish his story. "Zi Zhongxiu, you're trying to hide this from me," Huang Zhong said with a smile as he stroked his beard. Yang Yuting must be planning to capture Lu Bu. Tell me the plan so I can help.”Mei Zhu, who was showing off, was stunned. He looked at Huang Zhong and suddenly smiled."General is indeed extraordinary. That's right, Yu Ting saw through Cao Bao's evil plan and beat him at his own game. He planned to capture Lu Bu tonight to eliminate the danger in his heart. The general was guarding Jiuli Mountain. Xiao Pei was just a piece of meat in the general's mouth. It depended on whether the general had the teeth to eat it.”"Oh, Zizhong wants me to attack Xiao Pei?”Huang Zhong asked. "It's not a strong attack, but a wise one." Mi Zhu smiled and told Huang Zhong about Yang Lei's plan. From then on, the two of them followed the plan.
Lu Bu led 500 light cavalry and rushed forward. It was already the fourth watch when they arrived at Xuzhou. The moon was bright that night, and the flag with the word " Liu " was slowly floating on the city tower of Xuzhou. The city walls were deathly silent, as if no one was there. Seeing this, Lu Bu hesitated. However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and he had no choice but to shoot. Lu Bu gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He ordered the soldiers to shout,""Your Excellency has urgent military intelligence.”There was movement on the top of the city wall. A person held a torch and circled around three times. Looking carefully, it was one of Cao Bao's personal attendants. Seeing this, Lu Bu was overjoyed. This was the signal that Cao Bao had agreed on. He ordered the soldiers to light the torches and circle around three times. As for why Cao Bao didn't come personally, he couldn't care less. The person on the city gate tower extinguished the torch and turned around to leave. Lu Bu stayed for a while. With a creak, the city gate slowly opened. Seeing this, Lu Bu was overjoyed. With a command, the knights beside him rushed in. Lu Bu spurred his Red Hare Horse and followed closely behind. As soon as Lu Bu entered the city gate, the first horseman was about to leave. At this moment, there was a continuous swooshing sound, followed by continuous screams. At the same time, torches were lit up on the top and bottom of the city gate. Lu Bu's elite cavalry was indeed worthy of being called the elite cavalry of Bingzhou. The people in front could not stop in time and charged forward. The cavalry behind him reacted quickly and pulled the reins tightly. Many of the horses stood up on their hind legs and neighed loudly. The city gate was filled with shouts and neighs. Through the light, Lu Bu could clearly see that the city gate was surrounded by several layers of barricades. Behind the barricades were rows of archers. It was impossible to force their way forward on their horses. Lu Bu gritted his teeth as he stared hatefully at the general behind the archers, who was surrounded by several shields. It was none other than Yang Lei and Yang Yuting. Gritting his teeth, he knew that he couldn't do anything. He could only wait for Chen Gong to lead his army here and forcefully attack the city. Then, he hatefully ordered everyone to retreat. Coincidentally, at this moment, he heard a series of sounds outside the city gate. Rocks came down one after another, but Yang Lei wanted to block the city gate and catch a turtle in a jar. Seeing that the situation was not right, Lu Bu didn't dare to stay any longer. The archers avoided the cavalrymen who were still outside. Seeing this, Lu Bu gritted his teeth and shouted loudly. He urged his Red Hare and brandished his Heavenly Halberd as he charged out. The remaining cavalrymen who had rushed into the city gate followed closely behind, trying to block the arrows for Lu Bu. The Red Hare Horse was a precious horse, and Lu Bu was also the Lu Bu with unparalleled martial arts skills. Lu Bu had charged out of the city gate, but none of the cavalrymen who had followed him into the city gate had returned. As for the cavalrymen outside the city gate, there were not many left to save him. Thinking about the 500 cavalrymen who had come, Lu Bu saw that there were less than 300 people left. He shouted at the city gate,""Yang Lei. I swear to kill you." He seemed to have thought of something and shouted,"Cao Bao, you despicable scoundrel, quickly come out and see me.”No one answered him. However, the city gate began to slowly close, just as it slowly opened.
The sky was gradually getting brighter. Lu Bu paced around Xuzhou City, his heart filled with anger. He kept cursing and fighting, but because he had only a few cavalry, he did not dare to attack the city, but he was unwilling to leave. He could only curse and fight while waiting for Chen Gong's army to arrive. The sky was already bright when Chen Gong arrived with his army. Seeing this, he was shocked and hurriedly asked for the details. "Gongtai, didn't I already tell the soldiers to go back and tell you?" Lu Bu asked in confusion. Didn't you meet him?" Chen Gong was shocked. At this moment, Huang Xu led the three hundred over people and said in boredom,""How boring. They only sent two messengers. Pulling on the trip rope was all it took.”Seeing Chen Gong's expression, Lu Bu knew that the cavalrymen he had sent back to report had also been killed. At the same time, Chen Gong's expression changed. Realizing that he had been tricked, Chen Gong hurriedly said to Lu Bu,""My lord. Hurry up and return to Xiao Pei." Hearing this, Lu Bu's expression changed drastically. Thinking of his family in Xiaopei, he hurriedly ordered,""Hurry back to Xiao Pei." The defenders in the city did not pursue. Well, to be honest, Yang Lei didn't dare to chase after her. If Lu Bu didn't follow the rules and shot him an arrow, Yang Lei couldn't guarantee that he would be able to dodge it. Moreover, Xu Prefecture only had ten thousand men, which was more than enough to defend. It was difficult to advance. Moreover, Brother Fierce General was sleeping soundly and had yet to sober up.
Two flowers bloomed, each showing a branch. Outside Xiaopei City, at the moment before dawn, a loud shout suddenly rang out from outside the city gates, shouting that Wen Hou was attacking the city and that they should quickly send reinforcements. The guard did not dare to be negligent and hurriedly reported. Wei Xu and Song Xian came to take a look and saw that the person in the lead was Cao Bao. They had seen him when he married his daughter. They were surprised but did not dare to open the door and hurriedly asked about the situation. Cao Bao said that he was about to escort Lu Bu into the city, but was unexpectedly discovered by Yang Lei, who used archers to force Wen Hou to retreat. Helpless, Wen Hou could only forcefully attack the city with Chen Gong's army. This time, they were here to use the Breaking Ranks Camp to attack the city. Wei Xu and Song Xian thought about it carefully and felt that there were no flaws. Using the Breaking Ranks to fight a tough battle had always been Lu Bu's habit. There was no other way. Every attack was invincible. Seeing that Cao Bao was Lu Bu's father-in-law and that there were only a few dozen people behind him, he opened the door and let him in. After Cao Bao was settled, Wei Xu led the camp to Xuzhou, leaving Song Xian to guard the city. When Wei Xu was far away, Cao Bao's men suddenly restrained Song Xian and forced him to open the city gate. Huang Zhong, who had been waiting for them, gave the order and rushed into the small pond. When the soldiers saw that their general had been captured and the city had been breached, they all surrendered. Huang Zhong ordered his men to surround Lu Bu and his generals 'residences, forbidding them from entering. Everything he needed was sent by the maid. At this point, Xiao Pei was already in the hands of Liu Bei's army. The only thing left was to deal with General Lu Bu of Bingzhou.
