    Cao Cao believed this and was extremely unwilling to do so. He suddenly came up with a plan and asked Xun Yu to call Cao Hong, Xiahou Dun and other close generals over for discussion.  But it was said that Cao Ren and Yu Jin led 40,000 troops to attack Dongjun City. Dongjun City was the seat of Yanzhou and was considered a strong city. Without the help of Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, Lu Bu would not have been able to take it.  The most important thing is that Yanzhou officials did not sincerely surrender to Cao Cao, and Lu Bu had the emperor's edict in hand. With the remaining power of the Han Dynasty, he captured Dongjun City without spending a single soldier.  It is obviously unrealistic for Cao Ren to capture Dongjun City with 40,000 troops, but Cao Cao's intention is to contain Lu Bu's troops and cut off his supplies.  Therefore, Cao Ren was sent to take a dangerous route to besiege Dongjun.  Chen Gonghe was on good terms with Cao Cao and was well aware of his suspicious character. After Guo Jia's persuasion, Lu Bu finally agreed to send troops. Four generals, Zhang Yang, Cheng Lian, Wei Xu and Li Le, led 30,000 troops to ambush Cao Cao's army.  at.  Cao Ren was very convinced of his cousin Cao Cao. In order to achieve the unintended effect, he asked Yu Jin to lead the baggage troops behind him slowly, while he led an army of 30,000 to the east county, climbing over mountains and ridges all the way, opening roads through forests and building bridges over water.  It took only one day to travel more than a hundred miles, and it seemed that there was still less than half the journey.  The 30,000-strong army rested hastily for one night and set out again early the next morning.  That day at noon, Cao Ren happened to arrive in front of a dense forest. He saw a group of birds hovering over it without settling. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, and hurriedly ordered his scouts to explore the way.  While he was talking, he heard the sound of a gong, and shouts of killing suddenly rang out from the surrounding dense forest, as if there were thousands of troops.  Countless soldiers emerged from the dense forest, bent their bows and set arrows, and arrows flew in the sky and covered the ground.  Cao Ren turned pale and ordered the army to retreat.  But it was too late. They had traveled a long way and were blocked by people waiting for work. This round of arrows alone caused great casualties.  After all, his troops are not as well-equipped as Ma Chao's army.  This time they were caught by surprise again, and they were defeated after a little resistance.  Cao Ren tried his best to organize his troops to resist, but the effect was minimal. In order to escape for their lives, many of Cao Ren's soldiers did not even need their weapons and fled along the original route.  Four generals, including Zhang Yang and Cheng Lian, led their troops to pursue and kill them, beheading more than 10,000 people.  Thousands of prisoners were taken.  The rest scattered in all directions.  Cao Ren lost most of his 30,000 troops, and only about 7,000 were with Yu Jin.  When news of the disappearance reached Dongping, Lu Bu was overjoyed and laughed: "Gongtai is indeed a god in predicting events. Cao Cao, a thief, boasts that he is a god in using troops. He can't even see through an ambush plan. You are really making people laugh!" Chen Gong came with the army.  Slightly proud, he stroked his beard and smiled and said: "After this period, Cao's thieves no longer have the advantage in terms of military strength. As long as we stay step by step, and the general transfers food from Jizhou to support us, it will only take time to completely annihilate Cao's thieves.  Lu Bu said disdainfully: "Why bother? I have a cooperative relationship with Ma Chao, not his subordinates. Yanzhou is densely populated, and I have the capital to achieve great things. I want to fight Cao Cao quickly and completely control Yanzhou."  !" Chen Gong frowned and said: "Although Cao's army is defeated, the main force is still there. Our army must not rush for success. Who knows that the arrogant army will be defeated and the sad army will be victorious?" Lu Bu shook his head and said, "Cao's bandits are mostly like this.  How can a bunch of yellow turban thieves be compared with the elite soldiers under my command? If he hadn't been so fast the day before yesterday, I would have killed him long ago!" Chen Gong was speechless, thinking that it was just your luck!  Forget it, if we fight again, how can Cao Cao be defenseless?  Without saying anything at the moment, the two continued to discuss the next step.  At this moment, Song Xian suddenly hurried in and said excitedly: "Great joy! Great joy! Congratulations, general!" Lu Bu asked doubtfully: "How happy is this?" Song Xian said: "The news of Zhang Yang, Cheng Lian and others' victory has spread  When they arrived at Cao's camp, Cao Cao, who was seriously injured by the general, died when he heard that his wounds were broken. " "It's true!" Lu Bu stood up immediately after hearing this and asked with a smile on his face: "Is this true?"  , Lu Bu's heart was never at peace, especially Bian and his adopted son Cao Pi, who were deeply loved by Lu Bu.  Moreover, Cao Cao has more than 100,000 troops. If he adds the Yellow Turban thieves he recruited, it is possible that he can reach 200,000.  Song Xiandao: "It's absolutely true. At present, the heads of the senior generals of Cao camp are wrapped in white silk ribbons, and there are cries in the Chinese army's tent. According to our army's detailed report, Cao's thief was killed this morning, and his subordinates are currently discussing revenge.  Lu Bu laughed and said, "God help me! Send the order and gather your troops quickly. I will personally lead the troops to attack the camp at three o'clock tonight, and I will annihilate the remnants of Cao's thieves in one fell swoop!"  " Song Xian was about to go to deliver the order, but Chen Gong stopped him urgently: "General? The traitor Cao is extremely cunning, be careful of falling into a trap! It's not too late to send someone to investigate before sending troops to steal the camp!  Is it bad to take an arrow from Cao Cao? I am lucky to be alive today. How can I be deceitful? The military plane is fleeting. How can I be hesitant at this moment? There is no need to discuss this matter. You can lead a thousand troops.  Garrisoned in the city? Just wait for the general to win and return home!  " Chen Gong was shocked and said urgently: "Absolutely not. How can a thousand soldiers and horses defend the city?  If we fall into the trap of luring the tiger away from the mountain, wouldn't we be in danger?  General, don't forget why I'm here.  Why rush into a decisive battle with Cao Cao's thieves? It won't be too late to discuss a plan to defeat Cao Cao when Zhang Yang and others arrive with their troops!  " Lu Bu frowned and said thoughtfully: "Since I have left you three thousand elite soldiers, I only need five thousand elite soldiers to defeat Cao's thieves!  " Chen Gong tried to persuade him again, but Lu Bu just refused to listen and looked impatient. At three o'clock that night, the sky was cloudless and starry, and a crescent moon rose quietly, covering the dark earth with a layer of white gauze. Lu Bu led  There were five thousand soldiers, including Song Xian, Sun Guan, and Hao Meng. Among the five thousand soldiers and horses, there were two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry. They were all brave and elite soldiers who took advantage of the night.  Cao Ying, who was thirty miles away, rushed towards Cao Ying. In order to achieve an unexpected effect, the hooves of the war horses were wrapped in linen. The soldiers held branches in their mouths and cautiously approached Cao Ying. Seeing that the destination was right in front of them, they looked around.  I saw a few torches burning on the gate of Cao Cao's stronghold, and the patrolmen gathered together in twos and threes, dozing off. As usual, Lu Bu was overjoyed, waved the Fangtian painted halberd and shouted: "The whole army attacks!"  There will be a big reward afterwards!  "After that, a horse rushed forward. The distance of two hundred steps was only a few breaths for the Red Rabbit Horse. As soon as the soldiers guarding the gate realized what was going on, Lu Bu's cavalry team had already rushed forward, and the infantry was close.  Following behind, Lu Bu summoned up his strength, waved his halberd to drive away the resisting horses, and was the first to rush into Cao's camp. Song Xian, Hao Meng, and Sun Guan killed the guards guarding the gate and rushed in.  There was a loud shout of killing, as if there were thousands of troops, but a puzzling scene happened. It took more than ten breaths for the army to charge from the beginning to the moment it entered Cao's camp. Even with the loud shouting, it took more than ten breaths.  No matter how sleepy he was, there was no way Cao Jun would be unresponsive. When he opened a few tents, he found they were completely empty!
