After arranging everything, Xun Yu went to Cheng Yu's place, ready to discuss it with him.

Cheng Yu was also shocked when he learned that Zhang Miao welcomed Lu Bu into Chenliu, but when he learned of Xun Yu's series of arrangements, his heart was also a lot more stable.

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said: "Wen Ruo's arrangement is very good, but there are two cities in Dongjun that cannot be lost, otherwise relying on Juancheng alone, I am afraid that it will be difficult to speak alone." ”

"Oh, if Zhongde has a good way, let's hear it." Hearing this, Xun Yu knew that Cheng Yu had a good plan, so he hurriedly asked.

"There is no good way to do it then, but it can be regarded as a good strategy to block Lu Bu and other rebels." Cheng Yu was humble at first, and then officially entered the topic and said:

"Dong'e and Fan County happen to be the two gateways of Juancheng, so if troops are sent here to guard it, it will definitely make it difficult for Lu Bu and others for a while, and delay until the lord returns."

"Well, that's good, but now there are very few soldiers and horses, and I'm afraid it's not appropriate to divide the troops." Xun Yu asked with a little worry, after all, this time is a big matter, if there is a slight mistake, I am afraid that Cao Cao will lose his foundation.

Cheng Yu shook his head and retorted: "These two cities must be defended, not many soldiers and horses, thousands of them, just can't be defended, if Lu Bu gives up attacking the two cities and goes straight to Juancheng, then the soldiers and horses of the two cities will come out, and he will be embarrassed." ”

"Okay, since Zhongde insists, then the old man will give up his life to accompany him." Xun Yu replied arrogantly, and then thought for a while and said:

"There are now 3,000 soldiers and horses in the city, Zhongde led 2,000 people to the two cities to garrison first, and when General Xiahou rushed back, he would pull out 4,000 soldiers and horses, do you see if it is feasible?"

Cheng Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, without further ado, we should act as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by the rebels." ”

"Well, then there's Lo Chung De." The soldiers are fast, Xun Yu naturally understands this principle, so he immediately agreed.

And Dongjun Taishou Xiahoudun got Xun Yu's retreat order, and was shocked at the time, even if Lu Bu, Zhang Miao and others really wanted to annex Yanzhou, they couldn't retreat without a fight.

"Choke!"

Xiahou pulled out his sword violently, put it around the neck of the soldier who came to give the order, and asked sharply: "Say, are you a spy sent by Lu and Zhang?"

The soldier did not panic, and asked rhetorically: "Lord Taishou, before the lord's army sets out, there is an explanation, and everything is subject to Lord Xun's arrangement, has Lord Taishou forgotten!" ”

"Hmm!" Xiahoudun's eyes rolled, and he couldn't pay attention for a while, he was not afraid of being punished for defeat, but worried that if he fell into the plan, he would have no shame to face Cao Cao.

"Report !! There were tens of thousands of troops in the direction of Chenliu, and they were hurrying towards Dongjun. Suddenly, a soldier ran into the house, knelt down in a panic, and said.

Xiahoudun was shocked, quickly withdrew his sword, and hurriedly asked, "Can you see whose flag it is?"

"Lu, who is the leader of the flag, has countless other flags, and his subordinates have not seen it clearly." The soldier quickly told what he had discovered.

"Report !! Baima, Weiguo and other counties found dozens of groups of people and horses, and they were surrounding Puyang! At that moment, another soldier ran into the house in a panic.

Looking at the news that kept coming, Xiahoudun no longer hesitated, and hurriedly ordered the army to gather, and then led more than 10,000 soldiers in the city to hurry back to Jiyin County.

When Xiahoudun led the army to Dong'e and Fan County, he was intercepted by Cheng Yu, and then the two of them each took a city, and handed over the remaining 6,000 men and horses to the deputy general to rush to Juancheng.

And with the envoys sent by Zhang Miao and the army that set out, people with different intentions from all over Yanzhou occupied counties and counties to respond.

At one moment, the war spread rapidly in Yanzhou, and the army led by Lu Bu was also marching forward, all the way through the city, there were people opening the city to greet each other, and within a few days, it was directly approaching Dong'e and Fan County.

Under the city of Dong'e, Lu Bu held a Fang Tian painting halberd, rode a red rabbit horse under his crotch, and was scolding majestically under the city.

"Xia Hou Pifu, quickly open the city gate and surrender, otherwise the city will be broken ......"

But no matter how Lu Bu insulted, Xiahoudun in the city didn't seem to hear it, so he didn't come out to answer, and he didn't go out of the city to fight.

After insulting for a while, seeing that there was no reaction from the city, Lu Bu could only pull his horse back and order the army to attack the city.

At the sound of an order, thousands of troops swarmed up, only surrounding the three gates to attack desperately.

But at the end of the day, there was no progress at all, but nearly 1,000 casualties were in vain, which made the winning streak lose its spirit.

When night came, Lu Bu summoned all the generals under his command and prepared to discuss the siege plan, but his command were all some martial artists, and he couldn't think of any other way than to attack.

Lu Bu's eyes swept back and forth over the people in the tent, and then asked Xu Yan, who was following the march on the right: "Sir, you can help Bu take the city."

Xu Yan replied with a slight arch of his hand: "Back to the temperature, there is no second meter, but there is a plan that can help the temperature and wait break through the current situation." ”

"Oh, what a plan, sir!" Lu Bu was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly asked.

Xu Yan said slowly: "Since this city is difficult to break, why don't Wen Hou go straight to Juancheng and then turn around and capture the isolated two cities." ”

"It's a feasible plan." Lu Bu replied approvingly, and then asked worriedly: "It's still a little inappropriate, in case the first army goes to attack Juancheng and the tail is attacked by the soldiers and horses of the two cities, wouldn't it be worth the loss." ”

Xu Yan had already considered it, and when he heard Lu Bu's question, he said confidently: "Wen Hou can leave a soldier and horse as an ambush, and the safety of the rear can be guaranteed." ”

"Well, well, in that case, the army will leave tomorrow." With the method of breaking the city, Lu Bu happily agreed.

After arranging everything, Lü Bu sent someone to inform Zhang Liao, who was besieging Fancheng, and asked him to leave a group of soldiers and horses and lead the rest of the army to join Juancheng.

Early the next morning, Lü Bu led the army to leave quietly, leaving Cheng Lian to lead 5,000 soldiers and horses, ambush on the dangerous road, and intercept the defenders of Dong'e.

Two days later.

Lu Bu joined Zhang Liao's department, commanded an army of 20,000, and besieged the city on all sides, but Xun Yu had been preparing for a long time, and he was not afraid at all.

After attacking for three days in a row, the city did not move at all, and the army led by Lu Bu suffered a lot of losses.

Seeing that he was blocked under the city, Lu Bu was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only lead the army to attack the city in person.

With the addition of Lu Bu himself, it did play some roles, and the morale of the besieging army was greatly boosted, and they climbed the city tower in half a day and fought hard with the defenders in the city.

But just when there was some progress in the siege, Zhang Liao, who was supervising the battle in the rear, suddenly withdrew his troops.

Lu Bu, who was commanding the siege, was furious when he heard Jin Sheng, but the soldiers had already retreated, and he couldn't do anything.

Indignantly retreating to the front of the formation, Lu Bu found Zhang Liao and asked angrily: "Seeing that the city is about to be broken, why is Wenyuan Mingjin!" ”

Zhang Liao replied helplessly: "Hey! Feng Xian, the rear ambush was ambushed, at this time has been defeated, Dong'e, Fancheng defenders are not far from our army. ”

"Damn!" Lu Bu cursed angrily, gathered a large army and rushed to the rear, preparing to kill the enemy army who had ruined the good deeds.

But when he led the army to kill, Cheng Yu and the others, who got the news, had already led the army to retreat.

This made Lu Bu have nowhere to swing his angry fist, and he could only greet Cheng Yu and the others with words. 17
