On the other hand, Chen Gong went out crying, unable to bear to see Lu Bu beheaded.
He asked Lu Bu to attack the counties of Yanzhou so that Cao Cao could return to help.
Seeing Chen Gong's sincerity, Lu Bu didn't want to be raised like a pig by Cao Cao. He was still fantasizing that Cao Cao would not kill him because he was the number one in the world.
Boss Cao ordered Cao Ren to lead 3,000 troops to attack Pei City. Cao Cao personally led an army to fight against Lu Bu.
When Cao Cao and his party reached Shandong and approached Xiao Pass, they met the bandits of Mount Tai, Sun Guan, Wu Dun, Yin Li and Changxi, who led more than 30,000 troops to block their way.
Cao Cao ordered Xu Chu to fight, and the four generals went out together.
Xu Chu fought to the death, but the four generals could not hold on and were defeated. Cao Cao took advantage of the situation to attack and pursue them to Xiaoguan. The scouts quickly reported to Lu Bu.
"It can't be done." Chen Gong sighed. He had no choice but to persuade Lu Bu to return to Xuzhou.
....
By this time, Lu Bu had already returned to Xuzhou. He wanted to go with Chen Deng to rescue Xiaopei and order Chen Gui to guard Xuzhou.
Before Chen Deng left, Chen Gui quietly told him,""In the past, Cao Gong once said that he would leave the East to you. Now that Lu Bu is about to be defeated, you can scheme now.”
"I'll handle the matters outside myself," said Chen Deng. If Lu Bu fails, my father will ask Mi Zhu to defend the city together. Don't let Lu Bu enter the city. I have my own way to escape.”
"Lu Bu's wife and children are here, and he has many confidants. What should we do?" Chen Gui said.”
"I have a way," said Chen Deng.
Chen Deng then went to see Lu Bu and said,"Xuzhou is under attack from all sides. Cao Cao will certainly attack. I think we should leave a way out. It is better to move the money and grain to Xiapi. If Xuzhou is besieged, Xiapi will have food to save. What does my lord think?"
Lu Bu was delighted to hear this. I'll move my wife and children away."
So he ordered Song Xian and Wei Xu to protect their wives and children and move their money and food to Xiapi. On the other hand, he led his army and Chen Deng to rescue Xiao Pass.
Lu Bu and Chen Deng were halfway there when Chen Deng said,""Let me go to the pass first to check out Cao Cao's situation before my lord can go.”Lu Bu agreed without thinking.
Chen Deng went to the pass first. Chen Gong and others received him.
Chen Deng said,"Wen Hou deeply blames you for not moving forward and wants to punish you."
Chen Gong said,"Cao Cao's army is strong now. We cannot underestimate them. We should guard the pass and persuade the lord to protect Pei City.”Chen Deng said nothing.
At night, Chen Deng
He looked down and saw Cao Cao's army approaching the pass.
So he took advantage of the night to write three letters in succession, tied them to an arrow, and shot them down the pass.
The next day, after bidding farewell to Chen Gong, he flew to see Lu Bu and said,"Sun Guan and the others want to surrender the pass. I've left Chen Gong to guard it. General, you can go and rescue them at dusk.”
Lu Bu's IQ was already low. He was still counting money for others after being sold.
Lu Bu said gratefully,""If it weren't for you, this trial would have ended."
He told Chen Deng to bring the winged cavalry to the pass first and agreed that Chen Gong would be the spy and raise the fire as the signal.
When Chen Deng reached the gate, he told Chen Gong,"Cao Cao's soldiers have already taken a small path to the pass. My lord is afraid that Xuzhou will fall. I'll summon you back."
Chen Gong didn't care about the loophole in Chen Deng's words and led the group away.
Chen Deng closed the door and started the fire. Lu Bu took advantage of the darkness to attack. Chen Gong's army and Lu Bu's army fought each other in the darkness.
When Cao Cao's soldiers saw the fire, they rushed forward and took advantage of the situation to attack.
Sun Guan and the others fled in all directions. Lu Bu fought until dawn, only to know the plan; I'll hurry back to Xuzhou with Chen Gong.
The group finally arrived at the gates of Xu Prefecture. Just as they were about to call for the gates, arrows rained down from the city walls.
Mei Zhu shouted from the top of Xu Prefecture,""My lord has already seized the city. You are not allowed to enter this city.”
Lu Bu was furious, like a husky.
"Where is Chen Gui?" he asked Mei Zhu, who was on the city wall.”
Mi Zhu said,"I've already killed him."
Lu Bu turned around and asked Chen Gong,"Where is Chen Deng?"”
Chen Gong had already been tricked by his stupid teammate.
"General, you're still so obstinate, do you still want to question this Ning thief?"”
Lu Bu ordered his soldiers to search the whole army, but they did not see him.
Chen Gong advised Lü Bu to join Xiao Pei, but Lü Bu had no choice but to agree.
Halfway through their journey, they saw a well-armed team approaching them.
Lu Bu walked up and saw Gao Shun and Zhang Liao.
Lu Bu hurriedly asked them why they were here. The two of them replied,""Chen Deng rushed over and said that the lord was surrounded and asked us to bring troops to support him.”
"This is another cunning trick," sighed Chen Gong.”
"I must kill this thief," said Lu Bu angrily.”
He quickly rode the Red Rabbit to Xiao Pei. Cao Cao's banners were planted all over Xiaopei City.
It turned out that Cao Cao had ordered Cao Ren to attack the city and lead his troops to defend it.
Lu Bu cursed Chen Deng at the city gate. On the city wall, Chen Deng pointed at Lu Bu and cursed,""I am Han Chen, how can I serve a traitor like you!”
Lu Bu was furious. Just as he was about to attack the city, he heard a shout from behind him. A group of people had arrived, and the leader was Zhang Fei.
Gao Shun went out to meet the enemy, but could not win.
Lu Bu personally accepted the challenge. As the two of them fought, the sounds of battle rang out from outside the formation. It turned out that Cao Cao had personally led his army to charge over.
Lu Bu had already lost his courage. He knew that he could not defeat them, so he quickly led his army and fled eastward.
Cao Bing chased after him. Lu Bu was exhausted.
Suddenly, another group of soldiers appeared and blocked their way. The leader of the group immediately raised his saber and shouted,"Lu Bu, don't leave! Guan Yunzhang is here!"
Lu Bu hurriedly accepted the challenge. Zhang Fei rushed over from behind.
Lu Bu had no heart to fight, so he and Chen Gong opened up a path and rushed to Xiapi. Hou Cheng led his troops to receive them.
.....
Now that Cao Cao had taken Xuzhou, he was overjoyed and discussed attacking Xiapi.
Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said," Xiapi is the only city left for Lu Bu. If he is forced into a desperate situation, he will definitely fight to the death to join Yuan Shu."
If Lu Bu and Yuan Shu cooperate, we won't be able to do anything about it. It was better to send a reliable person to guard the road to Huainan, to defend against Lu Bu internally and Yuan Shu externally.
Moreover, there were still people like Zang Ba and Sun Guan in Shandong who had yet to submit, so they could not be underestimated.”
Cao Cao said,"I'll guard the roads in Shandong." Then the path to Huainan will be guarded by Liu Bei.”
The big-eared thief had long wanted to kill Lu Bu. Lu Bu was the most lecherous person. Madam Gan and Madam Mei must have made him a cuckold.
Hearing that there was a chance to kill Lu Bu, he hurriedly said,""How could I dare to disobey the Prime Minister's orders?”
The next day, the Da 'er bandits left Mi Zhu and Jian Yong in Xuzhou.
He himself led Sun Qian, Guan Zhong and Zhang Jun to guard the road to the south of the Huai River. Cao Cao personally led his troops to attack Xiapi.
