The day after Gao Shun and Li Dian fought.
Lu Bu finally came to Xiaopei and looked at the city with murderous intent in his eyes, his eyes fierce, like a hungry wolf seeing a lamb.
They still couldn't find out what Liu Bei was doing now, and there was no news at all.
However, Gao Shun returned to Xiapi, so Lu Bu could safely hand over the base camp to Gao Shun. However, Liu Bei never showed up, and none of the scouts he sent out came back, which gave him another layer of worry.
"Gongtai, what should I do?"
Lu Bu put all his hopes on Chen Gong.
Chen Gong understood what his concerns were. Liu Bei seemed to have disappeared from the world, and there was no news at all. But these were not important to him. He said calmly: "We can't find Liu Bei. Actually, it doesn't matter. Xiapi is over there for the time being." Nothing will happen again, as long as we capture Xiaopei and capture Liu Bei's wife and make her homeless, I don't believe he can still hide."
Lu Bu asked, "Can we fight?"
"anytime!"
Chen Gong looked at the tower in front and said calmly: "I see there are people stationed on the wall of Xiaopei. Liu Bei will definitely not give up on Xiaopei. As long as he knocks it down, he will definitely appear."
When he heard that he could be beaten, Lu Bu went completely crazy. If he didn't give the big-eared thief some color, he would definitely think that he was easy to bully and shouted angrily: "Attack the city!"
Xiaopei's guards had long noticed the troops approaching outside the city, and quickly went back to report to Chen Dao and Jian Yong.
They had just arrived on the city tower and were about to send someone out to find out who was coming outside, when they saw the drums of attack rang out from the army outside.
"That's... Lu Bu!"
Jian Yong had better eyesight and saw at a glance that Lu Bu's flag had been erected among the army outside.
Lu Bu didn't go to fight Yuan Shu, but came to fight Xiao Pei?
Jian Yong and Chen Dao were both shocked.
But Lu Bu had already launched an attack and did not give them a chance to talk.
This is just like the last time Lu Bu attacked Xiapi secretly.
The soldiers rushed towards Xiaopei like a tide. All kinds of siege equipment were brought out one after another. Arrows flew everywhere, and the fighting was quite fierce.
There were only two thousand people on the defensive side of the city.
Soon it will be impossible to hold on.
"Uncle is here, retreat."
Seeing that the situation was critical, Jian Yong shouted loudly: "Go back, take our family, and leave Xiaopei, quickly!"
Chen Dao also knew that Xiaopei could no longer defend the city, so he decided not to defend the city anymore, took his family and abandoned the city to escape, running out in embarrassment.
"Chase!"
As soon as Lu Bu broke through the city, he saw Chen Dao and the others running away, so he chased after them without saying a word.
Liu Bei's wife can no longer be let go.
He has been coveting Liu Bei's wife for a long time. If he gets it this time, he must add some green to Liu Bei.
"Xianhe, take the others and leave first."
"Come five hundred people and follow me to the end of the line!"
"Send people south again and inform the lord as soon as possible!"
Chen Dao stood with his spear horizontally and led five hundred men to turn around and kill Lu Bu's pursuers.
His strength is also very strong.
Even if they couldn't defeat Lu Bu, they still had no problem blocking the pursuing Zhang Liao, Cao Xing and other Lu Bu's generals. The five hundred people almost fought with all their lives to delay the pursuing troops for a while.
Seeing that most of the people around him were dead, and Chen Dao had done about the same job of cutting off the rear, he shouted loudly: "Withdraw!"
He spurred his horse into a gallop.
The remaining soldiers who were still alive, without horses, turned around and ran away when they heard the order to retreat.
But he didn't run fast and was killed quickly.
After five hundred people were cut off, only Chen Dao, who had a horse, ran away.
"Keep chasing!"
Lu Bu followed and roared angrily.
The pursuit continued, and so did the escape.
He chased and fled, and soon he was far away from Xiaopei.
Chen Gong followed the rear army and saw that Xiaopei was defeated and received the military information about Xiapi sent by Gao Shun. He felt a little relieved. There was no problem in Xiapi and there was no problem in Xuzhou.
However, as he gradually calmed down and his disturbed judgment returned to normal, Chen Gong began to feel that something was wrong.
It seems that there was someone behind this incident of stealing from each other.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Chen Gong felt, and he quickly said: "Marquis Wen, stop chasing him."
Lu Bu stopped, went back to the rear, and asked, "Gongtai, why?"
Chen Gong frowned and said, "I have a bad premonition that this matter is not that simple. We seem to have fallen into a trap."
"trap?"
Lu Bu didn't understand and said, "But we are safe now and we can't see any traps."
Chen Gong explained: "Not all traps will definitely put us in danger. I feel like someone is planning it behind the scenes. What exactly is it and what is the purpose? I am confused now and can't think of it yet, but in the end The purpose must be for our Xuzhou."
After hearing this, Lu Bu also began to worry.
Chen Gong's analysis has always been accurate.
It was because of what Chen Gong said that he was able to gain such an advantage.
Since Chen Gong said this was a trap, there is a high probability that it really is a trap.
"Who is it that set this up so that even you can't see through the public platform?"
Lu Bu asked in surprise.
"There are many people in the world who are better than me."
Chen Gong said with certainty: "It must be the people around Cao Cao who are planning the layout, no! We have to respond as soon as possible. Marquis Wen immediately sent people to Shouchun to tell Yuan Shu that we would cease the war and form an alliance, and then withdraw Qin Yilu and the others so that Yuan Shu could Deploy more troops to attack Cao Cao, which will make Cao Cao unable to do anything or not be able to use too many troops to deal with us."
The only person who can help Lu Bu now is Yuan Shu.
"We just defeated Yuan Shu, can he still form an alliance with us?"
Lu Bu asked.
“I will definitely do it again!”
Chen Gong said: "Marquis Wen still doesn't have a thorough understanding of the general situation. Yuan Shu is eager to make a truce with us and concentrate his forces on others."
Lu Bu said: "I will make arrangements later, but can Xiaopei defend?"
"able!"
Chen Gong said: "When Liu Bei shows up and comes back, defeat him first, and then deal with Cao Cao."
Lu Bu had to believe Chen Gong and had to listen to Chen Gong's words.
The soldiers who attacked Xiaopei began to move quickly.
There was also a fast horse, galloping southwards, speeding eight hundred miles towards Shouchun.
The other side.
After Li Dian and others fought with Gao Shun, they did not stay in Xuzhou anymore and turned back to Peixian County to wait for Cao Cao's order.
The situation in Xuzhou was stirred up like this.
——
Today is the time that Cao Cao promised to go to war against Yuan Shu.
Yicheng is on the north bank of Huai River.
The shore has prepared rafts for crossing the river, as well as pontoons and other things.
The soldiers of Cao and Liu also gathered together and prepared to cross the river and enter Huainan to attack Shouchun.
"Xuande, after crossing the river, how about I attack Dangtu and you attack Yinling?"
Cao Cao knew that even if Liu Bei crossed the river, he would not be able to reach Yinling, but he deliberately said this to give Liu Bei some hope, and then said: "Second these two places, we will go to Shouchun to surround them."
"good……"
Liu Bei just responded, and when he was about to agree, a fast horse rushed south from the north and shouted: "Something happened to Xiaopei, something happened to Xiaopei..."
