Lu Xuan led nearly nine thousand people on the road and quickly reached the east gate of Puyang.

Inside the gate, thick smoke lingered and the fire was so strong that you could feel the heat coming from a distance.

Lu Xuan asked the soldiers who had been prepared to carry water forward, poured buckets of cold water over, quickly extinguished the burning fire, and opened a wide passage.

Xia Houyuan was worried about Cao Cao's safety, so he led the Qingzhou soldiers to open the way in front, and soon opened the passage into the city.

A large group of people quickly entered the city.

Xia Houyuan rushed forward eagerly, and before he had gone far, he met Cao Cao who was returning.

Cao Cao's horse was gone, his helmet was gone, his armor was off, his hair was disheveled, and he was in an extremely embarrassed state. He met Xia Houyuan and then rode on again.

In a blink of an eye, Lu Xuan arrived.

Cao Cao was a little embarrassed when he saw Lu Xuan.

News came that Tian Qing asked for an audience, and Lu Xuan warned him to be careful. At that time, Cao Cao was full of confidence, saying that Tian Qing would never betray or cause any problems, and he would definitely be able to defeat Lu Bu in one battle.

Unexpectedly, after Cao Cao led the Qingzhou soldiers into the city, he encountered Lu Bu personally leading a cavalry raid, and then sent elite charges to defeat his Qingzhou soldiers.

Cao Cao's expression returned to normal in an instant.

He stretched his brows and looked elated, and said confidently: "Xian son-in-law, you didn't follow me into the city. You don't know how dangerous it was before. I was ambushed by Lu Bu and the Tian family, the Qingzhou soldiers were dispersed, and the army was defeated."

"Although Dian Wei followed me, he was held back by enemy soldiers and could not rescue me in time. As a result, I was stopped by Lu Bu's generals."

"It was really dangerous at that time."

"Thanks to my cleverness, I immediately pointed in the direction of Beicheng and said that Cao Cao was riding a yellow horse and ran ahead. Guess what, when my words came out, Lu Bu's people didn't doubt it at all, and swarmed towards me, regardless of Dian Wei or me.

."

"Lu Bu's people don't have much ability."

"You caught me, but you don't have eyes to see the real person. In my opinion, Lu Bu has nothing to fear."

Cao Cao held his head high and said confidently: "Now, my virtuous son-in-law, you are here with your men. We have a new force and we will win this battle. I know that my virtuous son-in-law will not let me down. Send the order to counterattack immediately and defeat Lu Bu's army."

Army.

The messenger quickly made arrangements.

The Qingzhou soldiers led by Xia Houyuan, led by Jiang Qin, and those led by Zhou Tai climbed up the camp first and launched the attack first.

As the army counterattacked, the Qingzhou soldiers who had fled reunited, and not long after, Xiahou Dun also returned.

Xiahou Dun, Dian Wei, Zhou Tai, Xiahou Yuan, Jiang Qin and others joined forces, plus the fresh forces of Xiandengying and Qingzhou soldiers, the offensive of Cao Cao and Lu Xuan was once again concentrated. As the Qingzhou soldiers counterattacked, the Qingzhou soldiers who fled fled.

The rivers converged and the attack was mighty.

The army led by Lu Bu was temporarily confused, and the situation was not conducive to Lu Bu.

"Go and inform Chen Gong that Lu Xuan's ambush troops have appeared. They number seven to eight thousand people. They have all appeared. Let Chen Gong take the remaining army to join the battle and counterattack Cao Cao and Lu Xuan."

Lu Bu gave the order.

The messenger quickly went to inform.

The Prefectural Mufu in the city.

Chen Gong was sitting in the hall.

Opposite Chen Gong, Wei Xu was sitting. Cao Cao led troops into the city, and Lu Bu went to resist in person, leaving Chen Gong to take charge, and Wei Xu to assist Chen Gong and obey Chen Gong's orders.

In fact, Lu Bu didn't trust Chen Gong, so he left Wei Xu behind. Even if Chen Gong had any ideas, Wei Xu could keep an eye on him.

Chen Gong and Wei Xu didn't speak. They just sat there, and the atmosphere was very awkward.

"Report!"

Suddenly, a rapid voice broke the silence.

A soldier quickly entered, knelt down on one knee, and reported: "Commander Chen, Marquis Wen said that Lu Xuan's army entered the city to join the battle, and the number of the opponent's troops was at least seven or eight thousand. At present, the forces of Lu Xuan and Cao Cao are in Dongcheng and

There was a fight in the open space at the junction of Beicheng. Marquis Wen asked Military Advisor Chen to immediately mobilize all the troops to encircle and destroy Lu Xuan and Cao Cao."

Chen Gong's eyes brightened, he stood up and said loudly: "Wei Xu!"

"The end is here!"

Wei Xu answered immediately.

Chen Gongdao: "Take the 4,000 elites left by Marquis Wen, and I will mobilize the 5,000 tribes from the big clans in the city. Nine thousand people will go into the battlefield and defeat Lu Xuan and Cao Cao. After defeating them this time, Marquis Wen can use his strength to cover up the killing."

Destroy the opponent."

"Here!"

Wei Xu immediately went to make arrangements.

Chen Gong led the tribesmen who had been waiting for a long time, and after meeting Wei Xu, they headed towards the east city to fight. A large number of troops rushed on the road and approached the battlefield. Chen Gong quickly directed the attack, and at the same time arranged for the soldiers to shout slogans loudly.

"Cao Cao, Lu Bu, you are surrounded, immediately put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, you will be killed without mercy."

Chen Gong's soldiers shouted.

The shouts echoed on the battlefield.

Cao Cao's face was stunned for a moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "This Chen Gong actually has an ambush. This time, I was careless and did not predict. Send the order, everyone fights to the death, kill me."

After the order was issued, Qingzhou soldiers continued to counterattack.

Cao Cao looked at Lu Xuan and sighed: "Xian son-in-law, I am the one who has dragged you down this time. I will ask Dian Wei to charge in front later, and we will fight out directly. Don't worry, we can still fight after we fight out."

"

Lu Xuan looked confident and chuckled: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I will be with you in this battle."

Cao Cao was stunned again.

Then, he laughed and said with a look of expectation: "You boy, do you actually have a backup plan?"

Lu Xuan said: "Chen Gong is very thief. If you don't prepare for the worst, you will be easily plotted. There is no other way but to make more arrangements."

He looked in the direction of Chen Gong and smiled coldly.

Sure enough, dogs can't change their habit of eating shit.

Cao Cao no longer had any worries and ordered a fierce attack.

Dian Wei, Xia Hou Dun, Xia Hou Yuan and other tiger generals sprinted hard one by one. Coupled with Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin's charge, Cao Cao and Lu Xuan's lineup was not weak. Even if Lu Bu led Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others to charge, they could not suppress it.

Qingzhou soldiers and black armored soldiers.

The fighting on the battlefield continued fiercely.

Time passed little by little, the night gradually receded, and a touch of fish belly white began to appear in the eastern sky.

Chen Gong stood up on horseback behind him and raised his head to look at the sky. It was midsummer now and it was getting early in the morning. When the sky got dark, the situation would be even more unfavorable for them.

Chen Gong became a little anxious.

This time, he tried his best, but failed to suppress Lu Xuan, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Will it fail?

No!

Absolutely impossible.

Chen Gong personally supervised the battle and ordered the attack.

The two warring parties continued to fight fiercely, and the situation remained tense. For a while, the winner could not be determined.

Lu Xuan glanced at the sky and then at the battlefield. The fighting was already a melee. It felt like they were evenly matched. Only the last bit of strength was left to decide the outcome.

The time has matured.

Lu Xuan ordered: "Send the order, shoot the arrows, and notify Xu Shu to order the attack."

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sounding arrow rose into the sky, and a sharp sound was heard in the air,

The sound of breaking through the air was heard, and within less than half a quarter of an hour, a large number of troops came again from behind Lu Xuan and Cao Cao.

Four thousand black-armored soldiers intervened on the battlefield.

With the armies of Lu Bu and Cao Cao fighting inextricably and fighting for several hours, Lu Xuan's four thousand black armored soldiers became the last straw. The existence of this new force made the Qingzhou soldiers

Morale is boosted.

"I can't stop it anymore, run away."

Tian Qing was the first in the crowd to shout loudly.

At night, Tian Qing introduced Cao Cao. Taking advantage of the chaos caused by Lu Bu's surprise attack, Tian Qing quietly left and summoned the wealthy tribes in the city to follow Chen Gong. Originally, Tian Qing thought that the battle should go smoothly, but

Unfortunately, the battle was lost.

Tian Qing lost his fighting spirit.

Escaped directly.
