The Reincarnation of Lu Bu at the End of the Han Dynasty

"what!"

Hearing this, Ma Chao looked very surprised, as if he couldn't accept it at all.

Since leading the army to attack Dongjun, they have not had a good rest along the way, marching and fighting all day long, just to win the last round in front of the lord.

Everyone tried their best, how could they still lose!

Ma Chao couldn't figure it out.

Zhang Liao didn't hide from him, and said in detail: "Actually, my lord has already received good news yesterday. General Gao Shun, your father-in-law, has completely captured Jiyin County a few days ago, and his lord Cao Ren was defeated and returned to Shanyang County. .So, we lost."

Hearing the news with his own ears, Ma Chao was stunned. After he regained his composure, he said in an annoyed and self-reproachful tone, "It's all my fault! If I could have taken Fan County earlier, I wouldn't have lost to them!"

He clenched his right fist and pounded hard on the stone table, but unexpectedly pulled the wound on his body, causing him to 'hiss' and gasp again, trying to endure the pain.

"Meng Qi, I don't blame you for this. It's because we fought too recklessly. We only focused on attacking cities and plundering land, but forgot to make the best use of the situation, which delayed a lot of effort." Zhang Liao comforted Ma Chao, thinking that using force could make the gentry and soldiers in these places feel better. The people succumbed, and as a result fought forcefully, which aroused a lot of stubborn resistance in the local area.

As for Fan County, Yu Jin is also quite capable. He is an expert in defending the city and fighting outside the city. Even if Xu Shu went, he couldn't get much advantage.

After several months of besieging the city, Xu Shu cut off the food and grass of Cao's army twice in a row. Yu Jin, who was sticking to Fan County, ran out of ammunition and food, so he had to choose to evacuate Fan County and retreat to Shanyang where Xun Yu was located.

In this way, Dongjun was also included in Lu Bu's pocket.

At this time, in Xuzhou, the city of Tan County, which had been defending for more than half a year, finally couldn't support Cao Jun's continuous day-to-day storming.

Before the city was broken, Tao Qian, Liu Bei and others abandoned the city and fled to the north without a trace.

Cao Cao sent his men to search the entire county, but they couldn't find Tao Qian and others. What made him even more annoyed was that Xuzhou's state animal husbandry seal also disappeared at the same time.

Without this thing, many things will become quite difficult to deal with.

Cao Cao captured Xuzhou, and the next thing to do is to appease the nobles and people everywhere, and find a way to gain a foothold in Xuzhou.Without the support of these gentry, Cao Cao's road in Xuzhou will be difficult.

After all, he had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of civilians before.

There is no need to wash this.

But before Cao Cao started to deal with Xuzhou's internal affairs, a flying horse came to report that Dongjun, Chenliu, Jiyin, Taishan and other counties had fallen one after another, and that Zang Ba, the leader of the Taishan bandits, had joined Lu Bu's command.

Lu Bu, who was already powerful, became even more powerful.

After Cao Cao heard this, his face turned ashen.

Now in the entire Yanzhou, only the last Shanyang County is still firmly in his hands.Although Xun Yu is in charge, Cao Cao has no absolute chance of winning in the face of Lu Bu's 10,000+ army that is about to surge.

In any case, Yanzhou cannot afford to lose.

As for Xuzhou, Cao Cao left [-] troops for Xia Houdun to purge Tao Qian's remaining party, and handed over the restoration of internal affairs to Man Chong, Dong Zhao and others.

Early the next morning, Cao Cao consolidated his army and returned to Yanzhou.

At the junction of Qing and Xu, a certain rural village.

Da Da's horseshoes galloped from a distance, and the villagers who had suffered from the war were like frightened birds. They all hid in the house, covered their doll's mouth with their hands, and looked out through the only gap in the door.

This is an army of hundreds of people, all riding tall horses, looking at their appearance, their faces are bloodied, they are vigilant about their surroundings, but at the same time they are very tired.

But even so, the blades in the hands of these people are not comparable to the hoes in the hands of ordinary villagers, not to mention that in terms of numbers, the number of this team is obviously superior.

"Hey, anyone?"

Zhang Fei, who opened the way, shouted in a rough voice.

This group of people is naturally Liu Bei, Tao Qian and others who fled.

The villagers hiding in the house heard Zhang Fei's roar, coupled with his fierce face, they were frightened, and no one dared to respond.

"Third brother, don't be reckless."

Liu Bei scolded slightly, then loosened Tao Qian who was tied to his back, and with the help of the soldiers, An took off the horse's back.

Tao Qian was over [-] years old and had not fought in the battlefield for many years. He was weak and frail and could not ride a horse at all.At that time, Cao Jun had already entered the city, and Liu Bei had no choice but to wrap Tao Qian on his back with a blanket under the critical situation. Fortunately, the white horse under his crotch was a superb horse, and he galloped all the way without breathing heavily.

This made Liu Bei more grateful to the two businessmen who gave him horses, one named Su Shuang and the other named Zhang Shiping.

"We fled from Tan County. This is Liu Bei. The person next to me is your state shepherd of Xuzhou, Tao Gongzu Tao Fujun..."

Liu Bei spoke loudly, with sincere words.

Perhaps it was Liu Bei's sincerity that moved the villagers. A certain house was opened, and an old man with gray hair walked out, leading a little girl with a soaring shofar braid.

"Pang Pang is the leader in Pingcun, and I have met all the superiors." The old man bowed and bowed to Liu Bei and others.

Li Kui was also in the official establishment of the Han Dynasty, and was in charge of hundreds of families in the village.

"At the end of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bei, a fool in Zhuo County, met the elder." Liu Bei bowed his hands humbly in return, no matter where he went, he never forgot to mention his royal status.

"It turned out to be a member of the royal family. The little old man is really blind and doesn't know the nobleman! Girl, hurry up and kowtow to the nobleman!" Accompanied by the old man's words, the little girl next to him was also obedient, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Bei.

"This can't be done!"

Liu Bei hurriedly helped the little girl up, and after a few rounds of talking, he soon chatted with the old man very speculatively.

cough cough~~

Liu Bei was talking and laughing there, and Kong Rong, who was left on the sidelines, coughed twice, feeling a little upset in his heart, probably because he felt that he had been neglected.

Liu Bei immediately understood and introduced Kong Rong: "This is Kong Rong, Prime Minister of Beihai, the twentieth grandson of the sage Kong, and the leading Confucian scholar in China..."

Don't wear it for a thousand times, don't wear it for flattery.

Liu Bei's high hat made Kong Rong feel so beautiful.

Of course, on the surface, Kong Rong still said modest words like 'Xuande is too famous'.

Later, Liu Bei introduced Tao Qian and other famous people.

In the territory of Pingcun, the county magistrates are all extremely powerful officials, not to mention these big men who can crush the county magistrate to death with just a flick of their fingers.

"Old man, we have been defeated so far, and we want to rest in your place for a few days, is it possible?" Liu Bei spoke softly and discussed with the old man.

The old man seemed a little flattered. After all, among the "big men" he had seen, all of them were bossy and arrogant. He had never seen such a heroic figure like Liu Bei.

The old man nodded, and shouted to the families with closed doors: "Villagers, come out, these are our sons and soldiers from Xuzhou, not bad people."
