After being abandoned by Liu Bei, Cao Cao begged me to be a military adviser

The news spread to Jiangdong Daying.

The generals came to plead for orders one after another.

This time, Lu Xun decisively agreed to send troops.

Four generals, Pan Zhang, Ling Tong, Dong Xi, and Jiang Qin, led [-] soldiers each, and a total of [-] Jiangdong troops detoured to pursue Liu Bei.

This encounter started at sunset.

Liu Bei, who was retreating, never expected that Lu Xun would dare to send troops to chase him.

Even Zhuge Liang didn't expect Lu Xun to do this.

A great melee broke out in the wilderness.

The two parties fought from sunset to dawn the next day.

Fortunately, Zhang Fei led his troops to help in time and fought fiercely against the Jiangdong generals.

This broke the deadlock.

Seeing Zhang Fei's bravery, Jiangdong's army retreated hastily.

The battle between the two armies gradually subsided, and Liu Bei and Zhang Fei withdrew to Yulin City.

On the other side, Cao Ren got news of Lu Xun.

Immediately convene the generals to discuss.

"Letter from Lu Xun, Liu Bei's main force attacked the Jiangdong army camp, Zhang Fei is not here!"

As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers were passionate.

Cao Ren asked Pang Tong for his opinion.

Pang Tong said: "When dispatching troops quickly, the enemy is caught off guard, otherwise when Liu Bei returns to Yulin City, our army will have no good chance!"

"En!" Cao Ren nodded heavily.

Immediately ordered the whole army to leave the camp with light clothes, first take the so-called Zhang Fei camp, and then attack Yulin City directly.

Fazheng and Ma Dai, who were still standing firm in the camp, were unexpectedly attacked by Cao Jun.

Xiahou Dun attacked the east gate of the camp, and Xiahou Yuan attacked the west gate of the camp.

Xu Huang attacked the south gate of the camp, and Cao Hong attacked the north gate of the camp.

There are as many as 8 people in the four groups.

And Cao Ren and Pang Tong supported the four groups of troops outside the camp of the opposing army.

In an hour and a half, the camp was breached by Cao Jun.

Ma Dai and Fazheng fled all the way.

Fortunately, Ma Dai fled back to Yulin City.

However, the military master Fazheng was accidentally captured alive by Xu Huang.

Cao Hong and Xiahou Dun led their troops to attack Yulin City at night.

However, Liu Bei had already returned to the city at this time.

See Liu Bei and Zhang Fei ascend the top of the wall.

Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong just withdrew their troops and withdrew to the camp.

Looking at Xia Houyuan and Cao Hong's disappearing figures from the top of the city, Zhuge Liang heaved a long sigh.

"My lord!" Ma Dai, who had just returned to the city, knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei helped Ma Dai up: "Deshan, where is Xiaozhi?"

Ma Dai wiped away his tears: "It was my incompetence that caused Mr. Xiaozhi to be captured by the enemy general Xu Huang!"

In an instant, Liu Bei's old face was pulled down.

The sneak attack on Jiangdong failed, but was pursued by Lu Xun instead.

It's okay to suffer from Jiangdong's side.

Now Cao Ren actually robbed the camp again, and even defeated Fazheng.

"Hey!" Liu Bei sighed: "It's not your fault, it's my fault. I wish I could have listened to the military advisor!"

Zhang Fei, who was the most yelling, stopped talking.

Liu Bei asked Zhuge Liang: "Master, should our army retreat to Hepu County at this time?"

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "My lord, if our army retreats at this time, we will be pursued by Cao Ren and Lu Xun. The best time to retreat has already passed!"

"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Fei asked Zhuge Liang.

As soon as the words were finished, the meteor scout came to report.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

Zhang Fei asked, "What happened?"

Meteor Tanma said: "Jiaozhi County behind our army was captured by Cao Jun the day before yesterday!"

"What?" Liu Bei's face changed drastically.

"Who in the Cao army captured our army's city?" Zhuge Liang checked the battle report quickly.

Meteor Tanma said: "It's Cao Cao, the vanguard is Cao Zhang!"

"Cao Cao?" Liu Bei turned pale with shock.

Zhuge Liang shook his head: "Cao Cao sent troops ahead of Cao Ren. He led his cavalry from Nanzhong, and suddenly attacked Jiaozhi County. After half an hour of fighting, the prefect led civil and military troops to surrender!"

Although Liu Bei captured Jiaozhi County and Hepu County.

But the land of the two armies was handed over to the old general of Jiaozhou to guard.

Liu Bei personally led the main force to resist Cao Jun and Jiangdong Army in Yulin City.

But he never expected that Cao Cao would kill him in Jiaozhi County behind him.

Once Jiaozhi County is lost, Jiuzhen County to the north will inevitably surrender to Cao Cao.

Liu Bei knows this without asking Zhuge Liang.

That is to say, Liu Bei changed from being active in Jiaozhou to being passive.

Originally can advance and retreat.

Now they are being attacked by Cao Cao, Cao Ren and Lu Xun, and they are in a dilemma.

Liu Bei said: "Military division, should our army retreat to Hepu County now?"

"Hey!" Zhuge Liang sighed: "Through the matter now, I have to retreat to Hepu County, and I must retreat before Cao Cao sends troops!"

"Okay!" Liu Bei nodded: "The generals obey the order. At the third watch tomorrow, the whole army will retreat to Hepu City with light clothing. There must be no mistakes!"

"Obey!" All the generals clasped their fists to signal.

Jiaozhi County, Cao Jun Camp.

Cao Jun, who took the city without bloodshed, is still celebrating his victory in the army.

The soldiers kept pushing cups and changing cups.

Cao Zhang, the vanguard of this battle, was toasted frequently by the generals.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Cao led Liu Xian back to the central army tent.

Cao Cao half-lyed on the couch and waved to Lao Huang.

Lao Huang hurried to Cao Cao's side, squeezed his head and shoulders for him.

"Ziyu, come and sit!" Cao Cao beckoned.

"Yes!" Liu Xian nodded and sat beside Cao Cao.

"There is news from Yulin City that Liu Bei has been defeated one after another!" Cao Cao said while reporting to Liu Xian.

After reading the battle report, Liu Xian smiled: "Zhuge Liang was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness. Jiangdong Lu Xun is indeed a great talent!"

"Yes!" Cao Cao nodded, "Son Lu Xun will be a serious problem for our army in the future!"

"Yeah!" Liu Xian nodded.

Cao Cao added: "At present, Liu Bei is still the main enemy of our army. How does Ziyu plan to cut off Liu Bei's retreat?"

Liu Xian said: "According to the original plan, our army will be divided into two groups. One group will take Jiuzhen County, and the other group will take Hepu County, so as to cut off Liu Bei's retreat!"

"Yeah!" Cao Cao nodded: "Liu Bei is defeated, and I'm afraid he won't stick to Yulin City!"

"Yes!" Liu Xian nodded: "Our army's marching speed is definitely not as fast as Liu Bei's retreat, so my suggestion is that the army will attack Jiuzhen County tomorrow, and immediately rush from the waterway to Zhuyazhou after capturing the city. His lair of Liu Bei!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed loudly, "Okay, this plan is exactly what I want!"

Liu Bei retreated from Yulin City, leaving only Hepu County, Zhuya County and Zhuyazhou.

In the end, it is inevitable to retreat to Zhuyazhou, relying on the terrain to compete with the Cao and Sun armies to the end.

Liu Xian's sneak attack on his lair was tantamount to choking Liu Bei's lifeline.

Chapter 370 Jiuzhen County surrendered Cao, loyal minister Fa Xiaozhi

Early the next morning, Cao Cao led the main force to leave Jiaozhi County, leaving veteran Huang Zhong to defend the city.

At the same time, Cao Pi was ordered to enter Jiuzhen County as an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and Cao Zhang was the vanguard.

Wei Yan, Gao Shun, Gan Ning, and Pang De will be the four generals of the Chinese army, who will be dispatched directly by Cao Cao.

The tiger and leopard ride, and the tiger guard battalion is in charge of the rear.

Li Xun was the prefect of Jiuzhen County at that time.

The Li family is powerful in Jiuzhen, and they rule one side separately.

After Shi Xie returned to Jiangdong, Jiuzhen County also returned to Jiangdong.

Later, Lu Meng was defeated, and Li Xun, the prefect of Jiuzhen County, led civil and military forces to vote for Liu Bei.

From the beginning to the end, Jiuzhen County was always under Li Xun's governance.

Now that Cao's army is under pressure, Li Xun naturally dare not resist to the death.

When he learned that the envoy Cao Pi had come to persuade him to surrender, Li Xun went out of the city to meet him in person.

After welcoming Cao Pi into the city, he entertained him warmly.

A generous gift was presented to Cao Pi, and Li Xun strongly expressed his loyalty to the court.

Early the next morning, the city gates opened.

Li Xun led civil and military troops to welcome Cao Jun into the city.

Having obtained Jiuzhen County, Cao Cao immediately summoned Li Xun, the prefect, in the camp of the Chinese army.

Li Xun handed over the military and civilian roster of Jiuzhen County and the accounts of the state government to Cao Cao one by one.

Cao Cao threw the account book to the master book to read, and immediately asked Li Xun: "There are [-] soldiers in Jiuzhen County, why did you surrender without a fight?"

Li Xun immediately said: "The king of Wei worshiped the emperor to win over his ministers. My Jiaozhou has been the county of Dahan since ancient times. Jiuzhen county wishes to vote for the king of Wei sooner!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Cao laughed, very satisfied with Li Xun's answer.

Li Xun said again: "If the king of Wei defeats Liu Bei, I, the soldiers and horses of Jiuzhen County, are willing to be the vanguard!"

Cao Cao asked Li Xun again: "How many warships are there in Jiuzhen County?"

Li Xun said: "More than a hundred warships!"

"Not enough!" Cao Cao shook his head: "There must be at least a thousand warships!"

Li Xun said again: "If you count private ships, I can make up a thousand ships!"

"How long will it take?" Cao Cao asked Li Xun.

"Half a month!" Li Xun said, "In just half a month, I'll gather a thousand ships for King Wei!"

Cao Cao shook his head: "Half a month is too long, I can only give you ten days!"
