No matter how strong the city is, it is also afraid of internal breakthroughs.

With Chen Gong's persuasion, the generals in the army agreed after a little consideration. There are many legends about Lu Bu in the Yanzhou army. They lack enough confidence to fight against such a brave general, and the current situation in Yanzhou is indeed urgent.

Taking refuge in a vassal will stabilize Yanzhou and avoid unnecessary losses for the officers and men of the army.

Yuan Shu has prestige among the aristocratic families, and Lu Bu has even more influence among generals.

The cavalry stopped within a stone's throw of the city gate.

"Why didn't Marquis Wen enter the city? Could it be that he was worried that he would set up an ambush in the city?" A civil servant appeared at the top of the city and asked with a smile.

"General, beware of fraud." A general stepped forward to remind him.

The situation in Changyi gives people a strange feeling. The defenders on the city must have seen the scene of the cavalry charging. Why didn't they close the city gate? Even there were only a few trembling soldiers at the city gate. They did not dare to order the gates to be closed without receiving orders from above.

Following Lu Bu were eight hundred personal guards and a thousand cavalry. Such a scale of cavalry was not available in the Yanzhou Army.

"May I ask your Excellency?" Lu Bu couldn't help asking when he saw that it wasn't Wang Kai who appeared.

"It's because Yanzhou is engaged in Chen Gong." Chen Gong said lightly.

When Lu Bu heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he kept thinking in his heart, Chen Gong was an old acquaintance of Cao Cao, and now he was working under Cao Cao's command, and even appointed Cao Cao to be in charge of Changyi, why Chen Gong would betray Cao Cao.

"Haha, at the invitation of Chen Gongtai, there is no reason for me not to enter the city." Lu Bu laughed.

Chen Gong was slightly taken aback. Before Cao Cao took charge of Yanzhou, his reputation was not obvious. Why was Lu Bu able to say his name directly.

"Mr. Wen, please!" Chen Gong said.

Lu Bu said, "It won't be too late for me to enter the city after the people at the city gate have dispersed."

Chen Gong nodded slightly, often one can see many things in the subtleties, people say that Lu Bu is cruel, but Lu Bu cares about the lives of ordinary people.

More than a hundred soldiers guarded around Chen Gong.

Chen Gong's shout was heard by many soldiers, and the shock in their hearts can be imagined. Lu Bu personally led the cavalry to arrive, which is a shocking thing in itself. Why didn't Chen Gong order the city gate to be closed? , He even invited Lu Bu into the city.

This is a matter for the upper class to decide. Even if there are soldiers in the army who support Cao Cao, they dare not express their views at this time. Otherwise, Chen Gong can execute them with one order.

After a while, the people at the city gate dispersed, and Lv Bu took the lead and headed slowly into the city. As long as the cavalry rushed into the city, even if Chen Gong set up an ambush at the city gate, Lv Bu was confident that he would defeat Zhou Jun, the eye in the city.

"Marquis Wen, the situation in the city is unknown, so be careful."

Lu Bu laughed and said, "Since someone invited me, wouldn't it be a joke if I didn't enter the city?"

In fact, Lu Bu also observed the changes of the soldiers in the city, especially after Chen Gong invited him into the city.

This shows that the soldiers in the army may not know the situation in advance, even the soldiers in the army do not know, how to make a perfect arrangement.

Chen Gong took the initiative to invite him into the city in Changyi, and Lu Bu felt a little strange. In history, Chen Gong was an important adviser around Lu Bu, and he followed Lu Bu to the end. Now Chen Gong seemed to be waiting for him in Changyi.

There are resourceful people like Chen Gong in Changyi City. Originally, Lu Bu was more worried about Wang Kai's ability to cope with the changes in the situation. Now it seems that the leader is actually Chen Gong, whom Cao Cao trusts.

Seeing that Lu Bu entered the city first, Chen Gong nodded. Lu Bu's display of courage was not bad, which was also Lu Bu's trust in him.

After receiving the order, the defenders on the city rushed to the city to gather. If they didn't know what happened, they would have thought that these soldiers were coming down to fight against the Xuzhou cavalry.

Holding Fang Tian's painting halberd and sitting on the red rabbit horse, Lu Bu slowly appeared in front of the Yanzhou soldiers.

Lu Bu had a high prestige in the Yanzhou Army, and many generals hurriedly turned their eyes away after they came into contact with Lu Bu.

Chapter 170 Appointments

After entering the city, the cavalry who followed Lu Bu quickly set up their positions and were on alert.

All the scimitars, many generals of the Yanzhou Army cast curious eyes. They have never touched such weapons before, but since these weapons are from the Xuzhou cavalry, they must be excellent.

All the soldiers in the camp were equipped with hundred-refined weapons. The soldiers in the city had heard about it, and this caused a lot of discussion among the Yanzhou army.

After seeing the situation of the Yanzhou Army, Lu Buce immediately stepped forward and said, "I am very grateful that Gongtai can take refuge with me."

Chen Gongdao: "I'm taking refuge in Marquis Wen for the stability of Yanzhou."

"Put down your weapon!" Chen Gong shouted.

After receiving the order, the lieutenant soldiers hesitated a little, and still acted according to Chen Gong's order. From the moment the Xuzhou cavalry entered the city, their fate was no longer under their control. If they did not obey Lu Bu, they would end up dead.

The situation in Yanzhou has reached such a point, what reason do they have to continue to work for Cao Cao?

Cao Cao is only temporarily in charge of Yanzhou affairs, and the order of the imperial court has not yet been issued.

"Do it, Captain Li led more than a hundred soldiers to protect Zhou Mu's family and headed west of the city." A general hurried over and said.

Chen Gong looked a little unhappy, "Hurry up and catch up."

Lu Bu waved his hands and said, "It's no harm to the family. I came to Yanzhou to put down the bandits in Yanzhou."

"Wenhou Gaoyi." Chen Gong cupped his hands and said.

With the help of Chen Gong, Lu Bu led the cavalry and took control of Changyi at an extremely fast speed. The city gate was closed tightly, and there were hundreds of elite cavalry guarding the city gate. Under such circumstances, how dare the generals in the army violate Lu Bu? The sporadic resistance was quickly wiped out by the Xuzhou cavalry.

Yanzhou State Shepherd's Mansion is a bit simpler than Xuzhou's State Shepherd's Mansion. Since Liu Dai ruled Yanzhou, he has experienced many wars. Expanding the army is not a small consumption. Not putting too much into it.

In fact, Liu Dai is also a pragmatic person. As a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Dai naturally wants to let the Han Dynasty continue, instead of being buried in the hands of rebellious officials and thieves. Just brilliant.

When the officials in Changyi City learned that Chen Gong had taken the initiative to open the city gate to welcome Xuzhou cavalry into the city, they were stunned. They never imagined that the officials trusted by Cao Cao would betray Cao Cao at a critical moment and destroy Cao Cao's foundation. Yi handed over to Lu Bu.

In the State Shepherd's Mansion, Lu Bu, dressed in military uniform, sat at the head.

The heavily guarded State Shepherd's Mansion made the officials who came here tremble with fear.

The Xuzhou Army had a reputation for viciousness, and the one who entered Changyi at this time was Lu Bu, the most famous general in the world. They could not be careless. Facing such a character, if they were a little careless, they might end up dead.

Seeing the trembling appearance of the officials below, Lu Bu coughed lightly and said: "This Marquis learned that Yanzhou was in turmoil, and there were yellow turban bandits making trouble, and he was very worried about the people of Yanzhou, so he led an army here. Who would have thought that Cao Cao would lead an army? To stop Benhou, luckily Chen Gong and Wang Kai understand the righteousness and welcome Benhou to enter Changyi."

All the officials in the arena fell into silence.

The people Lu Bu praised must have been those who had contributed to the Xuzhou army's entry into Changyi.

Wang Kai was a member of the Wang family, and Wang Si was shocked in Wang Kai's land. Wang Kai took the initiative to seek refuge with Lu Bu. The members of the Wang family did not get the slightest news before, which shows how deep Wang Kai concealed this matter.

Fortunately, Lu Bu succeeded in taking over Changyi, otherwise, there would be a lot of changes in the Wang family.

"The Marquis is not very familiar with the affairs of Yanzhou, so I specially appointed Chen Gong as the governor of Yanzhou, and Wang Kai as the administrative center of Yanzhou, temporarily in charge of the affairs of the city." Lu Bu said.

"Here." Chen Gong and Wang Kai came out and said.

"When this Marquis is in charge of Changyi, I hope you will cooperate a lot. This Marquis is kind to friends and will not be soft-hearted to enemies." Lu Bu said solemnly.

The officials in the arena said yes one after another, and they did not dare to disobey Lv Bu's order.

The change in the situation in Yanzhou was really unexpected. Originally, Cao Cao was still confronting the Xuzhou army in Gaoping. In a blink of an eye, Lu Bu led the cavalry into Changyi.

Many officials in Changyi felt that the sky had changed in Yanzhou. The Xuzhou army under Lu Bu's command was powerful, and with Xuzhou behind him as a support, Cao Cao wanted to take Changyi from Lu Bu's hands. Difficult, besides, Cao Cao led the army to fight against the Xuzhou army, and the results were not very good, but was suppressed by Lu Bu. Otherwise, how could Lu Bu lead the cavalry to raid Changyi successfully.

After everyone left, Lu Bu left Chen Gong and Wang Kai behind.

"My subordinates pay homage to Marquis Wen." Chen Gong and Wang Kai saluted.

Lu Bu helped them up, "If it weren't for the help of the two of you, it would be extremely difficult for me to take control of Changyi. For me, the two of you are people who have made great contributions."

"Thanks to Marquis Wen's appreciation, I will do my best to help Marquis Wen stabilize Yanzhou." Wang Kaidao, having been an official in Yanzhou for many years, he is quite familiar with the situation in Yanzhou.

"In this way, there will be a case of labor." Lu Bu laughed.

Sometimes, the reason why the officials under his command betrayed was not because the officials were not loyal enough, but because the monarch was not capable enough. If Liu Dai was in charge of Yanzhou, Wang Kai would definitely be more cautious when taking refuge in Yanzhou. In the chaotic situation, it is reasonable for them to make some choices.

Cao Cao was only the prefect of Dongjun before. Compared with Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, he was far behind. Wang Kai must be more willing to believe that Lu Bu and Yuan Shu can stabilize Yanzhou, rather than Cao Cao who stood up in Yanzhou's critical moment.

"Can Gongtai have something to say to Ben Hou?" Lu Bu asked with a smile.

Chen Gongdao: "The humble staff has long been dissatisfied with Cao Cao. He is suspicious. It is Yanzhou's blessing to drive such people out of Yanzhou."

Seeing that Chen Gong didn't elaborate, Lu Bu stopped asking. Not only did he get Changyi, but he also got help from resourceful people like Chen Gong. Lu Bu was very happy.

Talent is rare, if Chen Gong tries his best to help, the speed of stabilizing Yanzhou will be faster.

Occupying Changyi does not mean that Lu Bu can control the entire Yanzhou. Yuan Shu, who sent [-] troops to Yanzhou, would sit back and watch Lu Bu get so many benefits.

Once Yuan Shu hears this kind of news, I don't know what kind of reaction he will have.

Changyi is the state government of Yanzhou. After occupying the state government, it is more legitimate to rule the land of a state.

"I don't know what Gongtai thinks about the current situation in Yanzhou?" Lu Bu asked.

No matter what kind of grievances and grievances there are between Chen Gong and Cao Cao, now that Changyi is occupied, Lu Bu will try his best to stabilize the situation in Yanzhou.

Chapter 171 Changyi Urgent Report!

"Wen Hou, from the point of view of my humble position, it is not Cao Cao who has the greatest influence on Yanzhou, but Yuan Shuye. Yuan Shu has tens of thousands of elites fighting Cao Jun in Dingtao. Inevitably, Yuan Shu will definitely raise troops to attack." Chen Gongdao: "There are not a few officials in Yanzhou who secretly support Yuan Shu. If you want them to sincerely join Wen Hou, you need Wen Hou to show a stronger strength when fighting Yuan Shu. .”

Lu Bu nodded slightly. Although Chen Gong's words were simple, they gave an overview of the situation in Yanzhou.

"Yuan Shu has a lot of schemes. It is said that Sun Ce, the son of Sun Jian, handed over the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom to Yuan Shu in order to get Yuan Shu's help. Only then did he get the help of elite soldiers." Chen Gong said.

"Although Yuan Shu has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, the strength of the Marquis's army is not weak," Lu Bu said.

Chen Gongdao: "If Yuan Shu raises his troops to come to Changyi, Cao Cao can leave Yanzhou calmly."

"Gongtai, I know that there is a rift between you and Cao Cao. What I need most now is to stabilize the land of Yanzhou. After leaving Yanzhou, Cao Cao is nothing to worry about." Lu Bu said.

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said: "Just now, the subordinate's words were inappropriate."

"Gongtai is a talented person. As long as the strength of the Marquis is stronger, no matter whether it is Cao Cao or Yuan Shu, will they still dare to fight against the Marquis?"

Chen Gong cupped his hands and said: "Wen Hou has lofty ambitions, and I admire him. Since I choose to join Wen Hou, I will do my best to assist Wen Hou."

"Gongtai treats me with sincerity, and I will definitely not disappoint Gongtai." Lu Bu said firmly.

"My subordinate pays respects to the lord." Chen Gong saluted solemnly.

Lu Bu kindly helped Chen Gong up and said, "With the help of the public platform, why worry that Yanzhou cannot be pacified."

Chen Gong was the most easily subdued counselor after Lu Bu came to the Han Dynasty. It doesn't mean that Chen Gong's talent is not as good as Mi Zhu and others.

For Chen Gong, Lu Bu had a lot of expectations. Historically, if it weren't for Chen Gong's assistance, Lu Bu could not have persisted in Xuzhou for such a long time.

Let's say that after Cao Cao withdrew from Gaoping, he came all the way to Changyi, and the Xuzhou army chased and killed him for more than ten miles in the rear before stopping the pursuit.

Counting the soldiers, Cao Cao's face is not very good-looking. There are a total of 2 troops on the Gaoping battlefield. After the failure of the army, he took refuge in the Xuzhou Army. This situation is also very common in the army.

Cao Cao sighed: "Since I took charge of Yanzhou, I dare not slack off in the slightest. With the help of all of you, I was able to defeat the Yellow Turbans who fled to Yanzhou. Who would have thought that I would end up in such a situation."

Hearing the words, the generals in the army felt something in their hearts. They naturally wanted to do something after following Cao Cao. Now that the Yanzhou Army has failed, what will happen to them when they return to Changyi?Is it impossible to rely on the power of the city to resist Lu Bu and Yuan Shu?

Cheng Yu persuaded: "My lord, Yuan Shu and Lu Bu are ambitious people. As long as my lord returns to Changyi, the situation will definitely be reversed."

Cao Cao nodded and said, "Merely Yuan Shu and Lu Bu, if you want to defeat me, don't even think about it."

From Cao Cao, Cheng Yu once again felt the confidence of the past. This kind of Cao Cao is what Cheng Yu admires the most.

Cao Cao's actions were for the sake of the great Han. When the princes did not dare to pursue Dong Zhuo, it was Cao Cao who led the army to step forward without hesitation. Although he suffered a lot of losses, he almost lost his life at the hands of Dong Zhuo. Being so loyal is not because of other things. The princes can be compared.

The members of the Yuan family relied more on their family background, but Cao Cao relied on his own efforts. Such talents are the most admirable.

"My lord, I suddenly thought of something. When the Xuzhou army attacked Gaoping, they didn't see Lu Bu appear." Cheng Yu said suddenly.

Cao Cao's eyes tightened. It would be nothing if such a thing was put on the body of an ordinary monarch, but Lu Bu is a famous general in the world. As long as there is a war, there will be Lu Bu. How can such an important thing as breaking Gaoping be so rare? What about Lu Bu?

"Could it be that Lu Bu wants to raid Changyi?" Cao Cao asked.

Cheng Yu nodded and said, "We have to guard against it. If Lu Bu has internal support in the city, the consequences will be disastrous."

Cao Cao laughed and said, "Zhongde is worrying too much. It is Chen Gongtai who guards Changyi. With the power of Gongtai, even if Lu Bu leads all the Xuzhou troops to raid Changyi, he will never succeed."

The laughter didn't stop, and a cavalryman rushed forward covered in blood.

"Changyi urgent report!" The cavalry kept shouting loudly as they rode forward.

Seeing such a scene, Cao Jun soldiers along the way gave way one after another.

After approaching the Chinese army, the front hooves of the horse under the cavalry softened, and they fell to the ground, and the cavalry was directly thrown off the horse.

Seeing this cavalryman, Cao Cao's warning sign came to life immediately.

Cao Hong hurried forward, helped the cavalryman up, and asked eagerly, "What happened in Changyi?"
