The Rebirth of Lu Bu in the Legend of the Heroes of the Later Han Dynasty

Cao Cao made the most important decision in his life and sent troops to Yanzhou.

He appointed Cao Ren as the vanguard and Xiahou Dun as his deputy. The army shook the Central Plains, and Xun Yu returned to Yingchuan first, summoning the sons of the nobles and private soldiers, preparing to cooperate internally and externally, and secretly help Cao Cao.

When Liu Dai learned that Cao's army was coming to capture Yanzhou, he quickly ordered his general Li Tong to organize troops and prepare to meet the enemy. Li Tong's army was all descendants of the Li clan and fought bravely. They were Yanzhou's ace troops. His subordinates Li Dian was even more brave and well versed in the art of war. After receiving the mission, his uncle, nephew and son began to discuss how the battle should be fought.

"Dian'er, the spies are here to report that Cao Cao has dispatched 50,000 troops this time. How should this battle be fought? Have you figured it out?" Li Tong asked Li Dian.

"Uncle, my nephew thinks that we should make a three-step plan. The first step is to hold on to the city, the second step is to ask Chen Liu and Jibei for help, and the third step is that my nephew will lead an army to rob Cao's army's food road. This battle will be won." Li Dian looked at the map and analyzed it.

"Dian'er is really the Qilin'er of my Li family. My uncle is going to prepare for the defense of the city. I will leave the matter of robbing the grain to you." Li Tong patted Li Dian on the shoulder.

Li Tong reported the tactics to Liu Dai. Liu Dai praised them repeatedly and wrote letters himself, asking his trusted soldiers to send them to Chenliu and Jibei. If he could kill Cao's army this time, his strength would be greatly increased.

After Xun Yu returned to Yingchuan, he asked his nephew Xun You to go to Jibei, and he went to Chenliu to persuade Bao Xin and Zhang Miao respectively to raise troops to help Cao Cao.

Various forces are operating on the land of Yanzhou.

The two county guards of Dongping County and Shanyang County surrendered without a fight. Cao's army successfully accepted the territory of the two counties. The army arrived at the gate of Puyang City. Li Tong had already made preparations to defend the city. He removed the huge rocks and wood in the city in advance. The blocks were prepared and piled at the top of the city. Cao Jun's attack on the city encountered great resistance. After several rounds, thousands of soldiers were killed.

When Cao Ren was worried about the siege, Cao Cao led the army. Cao Cao ordered the army to surround the four gates of Puyang, and then asked the soldiers to shout outside the city, insult Liu Dai, and tried to provoke the defenders to leave the city to fight in the field. The power of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. Liu Dai wanted to leave the city for a decisive battle with Cao Cao several times, but was stopped by Li Tong. Li Tong knew that this was a way to provoke the generals. He was waiting for reinforcements from Chen Liu and Jibei to arrive, and then an encirclement force would be formed.

Li Dian's army, who had robbed the grain, successfully got behind Cao Cao's army and launched a surprise attack. However, he did not expect that Cao Cao's most important thing was military grain, so he specially sent Xia Houyuan to escort the grain and grass. The two fought, and within five rounds, Li Dian was defeated. He drew his horse and was about to leave. Xia Houyuan shot an arrow. Li Dian fell off his horse and was captured, and his troops were also captured.

Zhang Miao and Bao Xin led troops to Puyang respectively, but they were not to support Liu Dai. They had been persuaded by Xun's uncle and nephew and decided to be loyal to Cao Cao. At this time, Puyang had become an isolated city.

Cao Cao asked the surrendered Yanzhou soldiers to shout outside the city. Many of the soldiers guarding the city were their brothers and relatives. They laid down their weapons and gave up resistance. They opened the gates of Puyang City, and Cao Cao's army rushed in and occupied Puyang. Seeing that the situation was over, Liu Dai asked Routan to surrender. Cao Cao accepted his surrender and appointed him as the governor of Dongjun. He moved the Yanzhou government to Chenliu. Within a few days, Cao's army fought everywhere and finally occupied the entire Yanzhou.

After the war, Xun Yu brought three people to see Cao Cao. "Lord, let me introduce you to you. This is Guo Jia and Guo Fengxiao. This is Cheng Yu and Cheng Zhongde. This is Xun You and Xun Gongda. These three are all great talents in Yingchuan."

"The names of these three gentlemen are as good as thunder. I am lucky to meet you today." Cao Cao gave a big gift.

When the three of them saw this, they knelt down quickly and said, "We will pay homage to the lord and are willing to devote ourselves to his great cause."

"Quickly invite me. From now on, you will all join the army. Wen Ruo, you have contributed a lot to the rapid victory of Yanzhou this time. Today I will appoint you as the minister in charge of the government affairs of Yanzhou." Cao Cao argued. Merits are rewarded.

"Thank you, my lord! At the moment, my lord still needs to work on wiping out the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Yanzhou, expanding the number of troops, and preparing for the future march south to Yuzhou and east to Xuzhou." Xun Yu provided Cao Cao with a strategic plan.

"Wen Ruo is really my Zhang Zifang, hahaha."

There were bursts of hearty laughter from Yanzhou Governor's Mansion.
