    Having made up his mind, Ma Chao no longer hesitated and immediately sent an envoy to respond to Lu Bu, expressing his agreement to the conditions he proposed and agreeing to deliver grain and war horses in Guandu seven days later.  Secretly, Zhao Yun was sent to lead 5,000 cavalrymen across the river from Hulao Pass, and they were stationed in Rongyang, disguised as county soldiers delivering 5,000 horses and grain, to wait for the opportunity.  He himself led 20,000 cavalrymen, Zhao Fu and Cao Xing, to garrison Wuchao, while Huang Zhong commanded the remaining 50,000 soldiers and horses to stand by.  In November, coldness first appeared in the north. Ice formed along the Yellow River in the morning and evening. The cold wind blew and everything was depressed, but the Central Plains was filled with a strong sense of chill.  Everything is ready on Ma Chao's side. He only needs to exchange Guo Jia and Qin Yi on the day of handover to send troops to attack Yanzhou.  Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have also made strategic arrangements. In the middle of the month, Cao Cao took the lead in raising troops in Dongping. Xiahou Dun, Guan Yu, Cao Ren, Li Dian, and Cao Chun led 50,000 troops to attack Lu Bu's base camp Dongjun.  Lu Bu was unprepared, but he was not afraid of Cao Cao. The two sides fought many times and were old enemies.  Immediately ordered Zhang Yang, Yu Fuluo, and Yang Feng to guard Dongjun, and he personally led Hao Meng, Song Xian and others to lead the army to fight against Cao Cao.  The two sides had just set up camp and had not yet engaged in battle. Qu Yi and Chunyu Qiong each led an army of 50,000 troops from Yingchuan and Qiaojun respectively.  Qu Yi captured Xuchang with lightning speed, and his troops were approaching Daliang.  Zhang Miao, the governor of Chenliu, did not dare to fight. While organizing troops to defend the city, he sent people to Dongjun to ask for help from Lu Bu.  Chunyu Qiong then raised his troops from Wuping, and the 50,000-strong army rushed straight into Lu Bu's empty rear. Wherever he passed, local officials offered their cities to surrender, just as Lu Bu took the opportunity to capture Yanzhou.  These county magistrates and prefects only have county soldiers to maintain law and order.  How dare you fight against Yuan Shao's tens of thousands of troops?  In less than three days, Chunyu Qiong attacked several cities in succession, approaching Zhencheng behind Dongjun.  Seeing that Zhang Miao refused to fight, Qu Yi did not order an attack on the city. He left 20,000 troops and horses for his general Han Meng to confront Zhang Miao. He personally commanded 30,000 troops to bypass the beams and march toward the hinterland of Yanzhou. The troops were approaching.  East County.  After hearing the news, Lu Bu was shocked and angry. He knew that he had already angered Yuan Shao. Now that he was attacked from two sides, how could he still think about fighting Cao Cao?  At that moment, Chen Gong, who came with the army, was urgently summoned to discuss countermeasures.  Chen Gong also didn't expect that Yuan Shao would fall out as soon as he said he wanted to, and the two sides combined had an army of more than 200,000.  How can they resist?  He pondered for a long time.  Chen Gong said: "My lord, don't worry! If Yuan Shao falls out, Ma Chao will definitely come to the rescue! I don't expect him to just watch Yanzhou fall into Yuan Shao's hands! The top priority is to annihilate Cao Cao's main force. My lord's biggest enemy is always the Cao thieves!"  Lu Bu calmed down and said with a frown: "Does Gongtai have a plan to defeat the enemy?" Chen Gong said: "Cao's army will inevitably underestimate the enemy!"  My lord, all you need is this" Lu Bu was overjoyed when he heard this.  At that moment, he acted according to the plan and ordered the troops to withdraw from the camp.  After joining Zang Ba's Taishan Army, Lu Bu had 80,000 troops and horses in his hands.  He is only stronger than Cao Cao.  The 50,000-strong army came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving behind only a messy camp with a lot of food, grass and ordnance that they had not had time to take away.  How could Cao Cao miss the opportunity to kill a drowned dog?  After waiting and watching for a while, he immediately ordered generals Xia Houyuan, Gao Lan, Guan Yu, Li Dian and Cao Chunwu to lead troops in pursuit.  The two armies retreated and advanced, with equal strength. Along the way, people in Lu Bu's army lost their helmets and armor one after another, and there were also many belongings among them.  Seeing this, Cao Jun chased even tighter. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? We happened to encounter a hilly area that was neither high nor low, with endless hills.  From a distance, you can see flags swaying on the top of the mountain, gongs and drums roaring in the sky, and figures swaying, as if there are thousands of troops and horses.  There is a large flag erected at the highest point, with a large Chinese character "LV" written on it. There is a person and a horse under the flag. The horse is red. The person on the horse is in yellow robes and silver armor. He is holding a square-shaped halberd, but he can't see clearly.  face.  The five generals did not know the truth and were afraid of falling into Lu Bu's ambush plan. They stopped the army and waited for Cao Cao's decision, which came later.  Not long after, Cao Cao, protected by Cao Ren and Xu Chu, arrived on a BMW with Huang Fei lightning. Liu Bei also followed behind Cao Cao, his face expressionless and his eyes calm.  After asking about the situation, Cao Cao pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "L¨¹ Bu has no plan, and Chen Gong has few plans. As everyone knows, there are clouds in the art of war. The truth is false, and the false is true! If Lu Bu really laid an ambush, there would be no need to flutter flags and gongs and drums.  Xuan Tian? This is a plan of suspicion! You can attack quickly and never let Lu Bu's main force escape safely to Dongjun!" The five generals were determined and immediately led their troops to attack.  The others followed closely behind. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When you get a hundred steps closer, you can see that the man showing off his power under his banner is Lu Bu?  It was clearly a nobody, so Cao Cao became even more sure, and immediately ordered a charge to kill, quickly defeating the enemy.  Cao Cao had only 3,000 cavalry among his 50,000-strong army. It was only after he spent all his efforts to get 3,000 good horses that he could form a cavalry.  Cao Cao valued this team very much and spent a lot of money to build it. The armor and weapons were comparable to Ma Chao's cavalry, and he named it Hu.The cavalry is led by Cao Chun, the clan brother.  The rest are also veterans who have fought on the battlefield, and their strength cannot be underestimated.  Nearly 50,000 people launched a charge, with people roaring and horses neighing, and the mountains and plains were filled with densely packed Cao troops everywhere.  When the army rushed to the bottom of the hillside, Lu Bu's army stopped and disappeared on the other side of the hill!  General Cao Jun was very excited when he saw this, and his soldiers charged harder. At this moment, they heard the sound of gongs, followed by waves of bowstrings.  Before they could realize what was going on, they saw a rain of arrows rising from the opposite side like locusts, and then falling towards them.  "No! There's an ambush!" "I fell into the trapah!"  The screams of misery could be heard endlessly. With such a dense rain of arrows falling on the dense crowd, one can imagine the casualties.  Only three rounds of feather arrows stopped Cao Jun's charge. The incident happened suddenly and the generals were caught off guard.  When Cao Cao saw this, his face was full of shock, his brows furrowed, and he shouted hurriedly: "Charge the whole army! Those who retreat will be killed without mercy!" At this point, he could only charge, without a large number of ambush troops.  If there is an ambush, once he orders a retreat, the enemy will definitely take advantage of the situation to pursue him. The terrain of high hills and downhill slopes will definitely cause his own people to be injured, resulting in heavy losses.  After receiving the order, all the generals could do was to rush upward despite the rain of arrows. Fortunately, the rain of arrows was not aimed at the target, and whoever was unlucky would be hit. Once the army was dispersed like this, the casualties were greatly reduced!  After five rounds of arrow rain, Cao Jun had already rushed up most of the way and was about to reach the top of the mountain.  At this moment, only the roar of gongs and drums on the top of the mountain was heard, and the shouts of killing were deafening. Countless soldiers and horses jumped out. The leader was riding a flaming red red rabbit and white horse, holding a Fang Tian painted halberd. Who was it if it wasn't Lu Bu?  "Charge the whole army! Capture the thief Cao alive!" With Lu Bu's roar, the army rushed up the hill one after another, taking advantage of the advantage of the high hill and the downhill slope to cover up the enemy.  Lu Bu brandished Fang Tian's painted halberd, and struck straight at Cao Chun, who was at the forefront of Cao's army. The halberd struck left and right, and no one could stop him. He rushed forward, raised his halberd, and stabbed Cao Chun in the throat.  (To be continued)
