Three Kingdoms: I, the Emperor of Wei, am loyal and honest!

One day later, Hakubazu Ferry.

Lu Bu, with a shabby beard, stood on the bank of the Yellow River with a haggard face, looking at Li Yang on the other side of the Yellow River, with tears in his eyes:"Finally here!

Day and night! I have been running all day and night!

Do you know what happened to me during this day and night? Are you doing well?"

The remaining 15,000 or so soldiers under Lu Bu's command also had tears in their eyes and were about to cry with excitement.

For one day and one night, Lu Bu's army was harassed by Cao Ang and ran away without even looking back, despite the casualties.

One day and one night, I ran almost non-stop for more than 200 miles, and finally reached the Baimajin Ferry.

It faces Liyang, an important town under Yuan Shao's rule on the other side of the Yellow River, across the river.

Even standing on the south bank of Baimajin Ferry, you can see Yuan Shaojun's military stronghold on the north bank defending the bank.

Before he could even take a breath, Lu Bu sent a group of soldiers to escort Chen Gong across the river and go to Liyang on the other side to ask for help.

Then, Lu Bu looked at the less than 15,000 soldiers left around him, and covered his heart in pain.

In one day and one night, Lu Bu went from having just over 30,000 troops a day ago to less than 15,000.

If we add the 5,000 men who were lost and lost in Cao Ang's ambush the night before yesterday, then the 35,000 men and horses Lu Bu brought with him for this expedition would be reduced by 20,000, and most of them would be lost!

Most of them were not killed in battle, but were captured by Cao Ang!

Standing by the river, Lu Bu almost had the idea of drowning himself in the river. awful!

What a defeat!

He had more than 30,000 elite soldiers and generals, but he was defeated like this in front of Cao Ang's thousands of cavalry!

It's not that Lu Bu really can't defeat Cao Ang's thousands of cavalry.

But they didn't dare to stop and fight Cao Ang, fearing that after Cao Ang, Cao Cao would lead an army of nearly 100,000 to catch up behind him!

This is also the momentum created by Cao Ang!

If you have the power, your enemies will be frightened!

After chasing Lu Bu's army to Baimajin Ferry, Cao Ang did not continue the attack.

""Eight Zero Zero" because the arrows he brought were almost used up.

Although the arrows can also be recovered, in order to expand the results of the battle along the way, there was often no time to recover the arrows and bury the corpses, so Lao Cao behind him could only lead the people. The aftermath.

Lu Bu's army has also retreated to the bank of the Yellow River. If they are forced to fight again, they will definitely fight to the death.

Although Lu Bu only has less than 15,000 men and horses left. , but they are the absolute elite of Lu Bu's army

, Gao Shun's eight hundred trapped troops, Zhang Liao's more than a thousand Yanmen elite cavalry, Xu Dan's four thousand Danyang soldiers, Bingzhou flying cavalry, Xiliang's strong soldiers, etc. He is a veteran who has been tempered by many years of fighting.

After chasing Lu Bu here, he has almost won a complete victory and can withdraw his troops.

The reason why Cao Ang did not retreat immediately was to receive the 300,000 stones of food and grass that Tian Feng had previously owed..

Many days ago, Cao Ang got the news that Tian Feng had collected 300,000 shi of food and grass and was released from prison by Yuan Shao.

The original agreement was that

Tian Feng was a man of his word.

After gathering the food and grass, he will naturally prepare to hand over the food immediately.

At this moment, on the other side of the Yellow River, in Liyang City, the dusty Chen Gong saw Tian Feng in Liyang City.

He was the person in charge in Liyang City.

After he gathered 300,000 stones of food and grass with the help of the Julutian clan, Yuan Shao seemed to want to appease this important counselor, so he not only released Tian Feng, but also re-instated him.

Entrusted with the important task, he wanted to make up for his previous narrow-mindedness in sending Tian Feng to prison.

This is Yuan Shao's character, he is always scheming, always swaying around, forgetting his own interests when he is interested, and sacrificing his own life when doing big things.

An accidental collision made Chen Gong see the savior

"Mr. Tian Feng, help!"

When Chen Gong saw Tian Feng for the first time, he gave him a big gift.

When Tian Feng saw Chen Gong's embarrassed appearance, he was immediately surprised:"Why is Gongtai like this?"

Tian Feng is really shocked at this moment.

Chen Gong is also Lu Bu's number one adviser. He is from the aristocratic family of Dongjun in Yanzhou. He is usually very respectable.

Dongjun is on the edge of Jizhou, and Tian Feng's giant deer The county is separated from Dongjun by a Yellow River, about two to three hundred miles away. They are both famous people, and they have met each other before. In Tian Feng's impression, Chen Gong has a calm demeanor and a rigorous style, not the one in front of him.

His beard was unkempt, his face was covered with dust and soot, and his hair was in a messy bun...

Of course, Tian Feng was not a commoner who valued clothes and appearance. He was shocked because it must be someone who could make Chen Gong look like this. Big deal!

"Now my lord Lu Fengxian is leading Xuzhou soldiers and horses at the Baima Ferry on the other side, and is being forced by Cao Jun.

Sir, please send troops to rescue quickly and force Cao's army to retreat!"

Chen Gong first explained the purpose of asking for help, and then explained all the causes and consequences.

"What?

Zhang Xiu surrendered to Cao Cao, has the siege of Kunyang been resolved?

Cao Zixiu also escaped from Chen County. Yuan Shu's troops retreated?

When did it happen? How could it happen so fast!"

After listening to Chen Gong's story, Tian Feng was even more shocked. His eyes were full of disbelief.

Before that, Tian Feng or the entire Jizhou monarchs and ministers had learned that Yuan Shu's 100,000 troops attacked Cao Ang of Chen County, and Zhang Xiu led 80,000 troops. The stalemate with Cao Cao was in Kunyang, Yingchuan.

It was just a little slower than what Lu Bu learned in Xuzhou. At that time, some of the counselors in Yuan Shao's tent, led by Ju Shou

, suggested taking this opportunity to attack Xu Du.

It was suggested to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that the fisherman could benefit.

Yuan Shao was hesitant and chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

However, Tian Feng did not express his position at that time because he felt that he had been favored by Cao Ang in Xudu. There was a bet that had not yet been paid, and he didn't want to add insult to injury at this time. What's more, Tian Feng didn't speak out, and Ju Shou and others made suggestions, but Yuan Shao didn't take them.

He asked Tian Feng to bring all the grain and grass to Liyang, and sent Zhang He and other generals to station troops in Liyang, under Tian Feng's control. The purpose was to spy on the changes in Xudu on the other side in the name of transporting grain back to Cao Ang.

After his death, if Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiu wanted to invade Xudu, then Tian Feng and Zhang He would lead Li Yang's troops to invade Xudu in the name of returning grain, intercept Yuan Shu and Zhang Xiu, and invite the emperor's ministers to Jizhou. Therefore ,

Tian Feng and Zhang He led 100,000 troops to garrison Liyang without having to send 300,000 grain and fodder to the enemy.

, and even defeated Lu Bu, who wanted to take advantage of him, Tian Feng was both happy and worried. Fortunately, Cao Ang, the benevolent and righteous gentleman he admired, was able to escape. From Tian Feng's personal perspective, he felt relieved.

As a result, the power of Cao Cao and his son has grown a lot, and Zhang Xiu has surrendered. Presumably Liu Biao of Jingzhou and Yuan Shu of Huainan will also suffer.

And if Lu Bu is destroyed by Cao Cao again, most of the territory south of the Yellow River will be lost. Cao Cao

's power will change from being less powerful than Yuan Shao to becoming evenly matched with Yuan Shao, or even coming from behind.

This is what Tian Feng does not want to see from the perspective of Yuan Shao's ministers!

"In this case, I will immediately send troops to cross the river!

He brought 300,000 stones of grain and grass with him and sent troops in the name of returning the grain.

If Cao's army collected the food and grass and retreated, that would be fine.

If Cao Jun does not retreat, then after I return the food and fulfill my promise, I will not owe anything, and everyone will be his own master!

We will not let Lu Bu be destroyed by Cao's army!"

Tian Feng made a prompt decision and gave the order.

When Chen Gong saw this, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was extremely happy.

Fortunately, Tian Feng was in Liyang, and fortunately Yuan Shao had stationed heavy troops here.

Otherwise, if Chen Gong wanted to ask for help, He still had to run several hundred miles north to Yecheng and ask Yuan Shao for rescue. Yuan Shao then ordered troops to rescue Lu Bu from Yecheng. As Tian Feng issued a military order, Zhang He and others were afraid that Lu Bu would be killed.

The officers and soldiers of Yuan Shao's army started to move. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Large and small ships were quickly mobilized, and pontoon bridges were temporarily built.

Because Lu Bu was stationed on the other side, there was no enemy resistance on the other side..

A steady stream of Yuan Shao's soldiers and supplies were transported to the other side.

At this time, Cao Cao and Guo Jia also arrived with the main force.

After the Cao family and his son joined together, they brought an army of 100,000 with them. The power of victory is magnificent! [] Although Lu Bu's army and the 100,000 Jizhou army led by Tian Feng and Zhang He have a larger lineup than Cao's army, their morale seems to be somewhat inferior.

It is because he has not fought recently and lacks the tempering of the blood and fire of the battle formation.

"Yuan Shao's troops arrived quickly!

Chen Gong still has the ability, so heading north to seek help from Yuan Shao is the only way to survive."

Cao Cao stationed his horse in front of the formation and said with some regret as he watched Lu Bu and Tian Feng join together.

Cao Ang smiled and said:"Father, there is no need to regret. This time our army has won a great victory and gained a lot.

If Lu Bu is killed here again, I'm afraid it will cause shock among the princes in the world.

At that time, Yuan Shao will ignore Gongsun Zan and plan to attack us first, and Yuan Shu, Liu Biao, Sun Ce, and others may also join forces to attack.

As the saying goes, enough is enough, that's it.

If I really wanted to kill Lu Bu, I would have killed him at any cost before and would not have allowed him to escape to Yuan Shao."

Cao Ang's words made Cao Cao startled. After thinking for a moment, Cao Cao understood what Cao Ang meant and couldn't help laughing and said:"I see, my son is really far-sighted, much better than his father!"

At this moment, Cao Cao did not put gold on his face or say that my son is not inferior to his father.

Instead, he generously admitted that his great son is better than his predecessor, and his strategy and ambition are already higher than Cao Cao's.

After all, his son is better than Cao Cao. Being better than your father is always something to be proud of!

If you are a tiger father and a dog son, you will be worried.

On the side, Guo Jia, Xun You and others also agreed with Cao Ang very appreciatively:"The master's plan is right.

The young master defeated Yuan Shu's army of 100,000 men in Chen County. The lord defeated the Jingzhou soldiers in Kunyang and surrendered Zhang Xiu's army.

The young master ambushed Lu Bu again and gained a lot.

Now our army has been victorious in consecutive battles, but our soldiers are tired and have surrendered tens of thousands of prisoners. This is the time when we need to digest it slowly.

If he had the intention to annihilate Lu Bu at this time, he would definitely fight to the death in a trapped beast.

Even if our army wins, we will still suffer many casualties.........

If Yuan Shao launches an attack, Yuan Shu and Liu Biao make a comeback, and internal prisoners take the opportunity to cause trouble, they will be in danger of destruction.

The young master is able to see the hidden dangers behind the scenes while being proud of his winning streak, and to think about danger even when he is in peace, he is truly an unparalleled hero!"

At this moment, Guo Jiaxunyou and other Cao Cao's advisers were completely convinced and recognized Cao Ang, and they were dead-set! They even rated and favored Cao Ang more highly than their lord Cao Cao...

But Cao Cao was not jealous either. He was so big. It was too late to be happy, so how could he be jealous?

After setting the tone, Cao Cao and his son decided to take advantage of the situation and let Lu Bu go.

, to make the world think that Cao Cao and his son also suffered setbacks, so as to reduce their fear and avoid causing public anger and causing the whole world to attack.

Even with the strength accumulated by the Six Dynasties of Qin, it was impossible to destroy the Six Kingdoms.

Make friends from far away and attack closely, instead of fighting against the power of six countries at the same time.

"Mr. Zixiu, we meet again."

Soon, Tian Feng rode out of the battle and met Cao Ang in front of the battle.

Cao Ang looked at Tian Feng and returned the courtesy:"Sir, you want to protect Lu Bu.

A trace of unnaturalness appeared on Tian Feng's face, but it quickly disappeared and he regained his determination:"Tian Feng is here to fulfill his promise and return the three hundred thousand grain and grass to the young master."

As for protecting���Cloth, just doing it casually.

In a time of strife and great strife in the world, Tian Feng is a minister and can easily share the Lord's worries.

For the great cause of our lord, we cannot watch the young master destroy Lu Bu.

If you offend me, please forgive Tian Feng for being rude."

Tian Feng said this, which was within Cao Ang's expectation.

Not only did it not make Cao Ang angry, it even made Cao Ang appreciate Tian Feng more and more.

The more loyal a person who distinguishes between public and private, the more reliable he will be after conquering!

What's more, Cao Ang had no intention of taking the opportunity to destroy Lu Bu. Otherwise, even if the other princes had not joined forces to attack the Cao family and his son, Xiaopei's Liu Bei would have taken the opportunity to take control of Xuzhou.

However, Tian Feng's arrival was due to Cao Ang's plan. Inside is also what Cao Ang expected.

"Since your husband said this, I have to give him some face.

Lu Bu took advantage of the situation to rob, but also lost more than half of his troops and paid the price.

Let’s end this matter here."

Cao Ang was laughing in his heart, but he looked at Tian Feng's serious words on the surface.

Even if Cao Ang originally planned to use Tian Feng to get off the donkey, it was not impossible to earn a favor.

Sure enough, when Tian Feng heard that Cao Ang was so decisive, he gave himself After the face-saving, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, he felt a little grateful to Cao Ang and felt even more favorable towards him.

"Tian Feng, thank you sir!"

With that said, Tian Feng bowed to Cao Ang, and then waved his hand to have people bring food and grass up in a steady stream.

Three hundred thousand stones of food and grass were transported back and forth many times using thousands of ships on the north coast. In addition, many carriages were transported back and forth along the pontoon bridge before all the handovers were completed.

After receiving the 300,000 grains and grass, Cao Cao, Cao Ang and his son also retreated faithfully, leaving only Cao Hong, Yu Jin and others.

Thirty thousand soldiers and horses joined Xiahou Dun's 10,000 soldiers and horses in the northern border of Chenliu, totaling more than 40,000 soldiers and horses, and were on guard against the Jizhou army.

Tian Feng kept his promise and mobilized all the ships to take out Lu Bu's 14,000 soldiers.

There were more than 1.

5 people on the boat, and they were transported down the Yellow River to the Jibei Kingdom, which was several hundred miles downstream.

Although the Jibei Kingdom was also Cao Cao's Yanzhou territory, it was not heavily guarded by Cao's army.

It is relatively small, more than a hundred miles to the south, and borders the Lu State under Xuzhou.

Lu Bu's army disembarked here and marched a hundred miles to return to Xuzhou.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Tian Feng. Please express my gratitude to Mr. Yuan on my behalf!"

Lü Bu, who felt that he had survived, stood on the south bank and waved goodbye to Tian Feng.

Then he led the remaining soldiers out of Jibei Kingdom overnight and returned to the Lu Kingdom under Xuzhou.

And what happened after returning to the army safely? Next, Lu Bu became more and more angry.

He originally thought that he could attack Xudu, usher in the emperor, and make a lot of money.

However, Liu Biao's army and Yuan Shu's army were not able to contain Cao Cao and his son, and they even surrendered.

If Lu Bu hadn't adopted Chen Gong's plan and went north to find Yuan Shaojun to rescue him, he would have died on the way back to Xuzhou.

He would have lost more than half of his troops.

He almost died, which made Lu Bu more and more panicked.

He felt depressed and wanted to vent his anger.

At this time, the marching Sima reported that the front line had reached the territory of Pengcheng Kingdom in the hinterland of Xuzhou.

Xiaopei was next door.

Do you want to go around it? Prevent Liu Bei from attacking.

When Lu Bu heard that he had arrived at Liu Bei's Xiaopei, his eyes turned red.

He remembered that he had just sent troops from Xuzhou to attack Xudu, and Liu Bei had pretended to send troops to intercept him.

I could n't beat Cao Ang and his son, so I couldn't beat you Liu Bei.

Thinking of this, Lu Bu immediately ordered to attack Xiaopei.

Unfortunately, Liu Bei only had three thousand troops in Xiaopei.

In order to prevent Cao Cao from questioning him later, he symbolically stopped Lu Bu and lost 200 yuan.

He was defeated back to Xiaopei.

Before he could replenish his troops, Lu Bu turned around and attacked him again.
