By the way, since Lu Bu raised his troops, Cao Mengde and Mount Tai were in charge. Xun Yu, Cheng Li and others have worked hard to ensure that the three counties remain unresolved.

Only then did Cao Mengde have a place to stand and fight with Lu Bu in Yanzhou.

After more than a month of stalemate, each of them had a victory or defeat. Cao Cao even took advantage of the benefits of the sea and carried out guerrilla warfare on water and restored most of the Dongjun. As for the surrounding counties and states, most of the prime ministers were appointed by Wang Yun, so they were neutral in the two sides and did not conquer the dispute between Cao and Lu.

With the help of the Prime Minister Song Qi from Lu, Cao Cao transported back tens of thousands of Wu Fang soldiers from Sishui. Although it was not as good as Lou Sang soldiers, Qinggang was refined for hundreds of times, but it was refined for fifty times. It was enough to use it.

Fan County, the camp of General Wei.

"Reported, the Zhonglei lieutenant returned from Cheng's family, and the Fan Ling family was all there." Then a scout came to report.

"Very good." Cao Cao was overjoyed.

Wen's family was relieved. In the account, Fan Ling Jin Yun cried and bowed: "Thank you for your life, thank you for your kindness."

"Zi Shi, get up quickly." Cao Cao left the seat and helped him: "Lu Bu held his mother, brother, wife, and son as a charity. However, Zi Shi was loyal and set up an ambush to kill Fan Ji. He led his troops to defend himself and preserve the county. How could Cao Cao let Zi Shi, both mother and son die?"

At that time, Lu Bu raised his troops. Xun Yu and Cheng Li and Zhen Cheng made a plan. Cheng Li went east to appease officials and people. When Cheng Yu passed by Fan County, he advised the county magistrate Jin Yun to be wise and wise, and not to surrender to Lu Bu (Note ①). At this time, Lu Bu had captured Jin Yun's mother, brother, wife, and son, and forced him to open the city to surrender. Jin Yun accepted Cheng Li's words and resolutely "abandon his relatives and follow Cao". He set up an ambush and killed Lu Bu's general Fan Yi who came to take over the city. Then he led his army to defend the county town and preserved one of the three counties.

It was heard that Jin Yun's family was young and were all imprisoned in Chengshi County. Cao Cao then ordered Zhonglei's captain Li Gan and brought his dead soldiers to Chengshi to rescue him. Chengshi was adjacent to Jishui in the north and adjacent to Dayaze. With the escort of Gaihai Fleet, he was in harmony with the inside and outside, and Lu Bu was invincible.

Li Gan went to Cheng family here, and in addition to saving Jin Yun's family, he also comforted the counties of Jiyin. After all, Li Gan was a heroic Cheng family and had thousands of guests. Although the counties could not lead the crowd to surrender, it would have shaken the morale of Lu Bu's army.

"I wish I could not be disgraced when I met Mr. Ming." Li Gan and his two sons entered the account.

"Zhongxiong made great contributions many times. Cao Cao was lucky." Cao Cao asked happily: "How about the counties?"

"Report to Gong Ming. Passing by Juye, don't take the lead Xue Lan, governing Li Feng, and have a secret meeting with me." Li Gan clasped his fists and said, "I would like to say that the big surname in the city will open the Puyang city gate at night."

"Oh?" Puyang was the place where Lu Bu established his camp. If he could defeat him, Yanzhou would be settled. Cao Cao was not moved.

Cheng Li advised: "These two were originally recommended by Gong Ming, but they turned against the Lord and surrendered to the enemy, and were willing to be driven by Lu Bu. There is a deception in this, so you must not trust it easily."

"What Zhongde said is extremely." How could Cao Cao not know the benefits and disadvantages of this: "However, if there is something happening, this battle can be settled."

"Ming Gong can first take Juye, and then station troops in Chengshi. The two of them will know their feelings at once." Li Gan said.

"This plan is feasible." Cheng Li said: "Onozawa is located north of Juye County. The Gaihai Fleet can protect the fullness of the Ming Gong."

Dayeze is where the rivers of Dahe Zhijin, Jishui, Pushui and other waters gather. The Jishui flows here. Jersey connects to Leize; the southwest connects to Heze; the northeast leads to Jishui and then flows to the sea; the southeast leads to Huangshui and Heshui, connects to Sishui, and enters the Huai River. "North of the river, the Central Plains waters are intertwined, all connected to the vast wilderness." Due to the convenience of transportation, the aquatic products are abundant, "relying on the benefits of the pony fish." Since ancient times, it has been a must-fight for ancestors.

The former general Liang Ji once asked for a fiefdom. He took all the generals Onoze, which showed great profit.

Because the waters of the Central Plains are all connected to the vast fields. Therefore, Cao Cao brought the Gaihai fleet and guerrillas on the water, and they were all invincible.

Without further ado, Li Gan ordered his dead soldiers to sneak in first. Later, Cao Cao personally led the Gaihai Fleet and drove the Oyeze obliquely. He landed in Juye. He carried a piece of pony and wrapped his hooves, and his troops were at the city.

Seeing that the four doors were closed and the suspension bridge was hanging high, Cao Cao suddenly felt suspicious.

It is a battle or retreat, and I am undecided. Suddenly, I saw a fire on the top of the city, three bright and three dark. I raised the fire as promised. This made me feel very calm. In a moment, the suspension bridge fell and the city gate opened.

Li Gan led the team out of the camp: "Ming Gong will enter the city."

"Okay." Cao Cao did not doubt that he was the first, and he took the lead. He led the vanguard of the cavalry and roared into the city. His troops were not bloody and captured the Juye.

"Meet the Ming Gong." We welcomed the two of them, Xue Lan, who was the second to rule Li Feng.

"The two are exempted from courtesy." Cao Cao sighed: "Everyone in the state rebelled, and it is almost impossible to avoid it. It is not the fault of the ministers who are involved in it."

"Thank you for your unculpable grace." The two of them were grateful and said: "Please enter the camp and make a long-term plan."

"Leading the way forward." Most of the rear army entered the city one after another. Cao Cao finally felt at ease.

"Here." Xue and Li beat the horse in front and led Cao Cao into the camp.

The central army was promoted to the tent and the generals gathered together.

"Geometry of the soldiers and horses in the city." Cao Cao rode a big golden sword and sat on the Hu bed.

"Not less than a thousand." Don't answer Xue Lan.

"Why are there few soldiers?" Cao Cao must have this question.

During the reign, Li Feng said in a hatred: "It is because of me and I, which is what Gong Ming Gong is not a group of Lu Bu. He is also afraid of overshadowing the power of the sea. He knew that the huge wilderness could not be defended, but he still sent me to this place. He used the Gong Ming Gong's hand to get rid of it."

He looked at Cheng Li and Cao Mengde let it go: "Lu Bu is a rough young man, a tough and rude man, and is a hero. Chen Gongtai and others are in a position of power and cannot be blind dates. Even though Lu Bu's soldiers are numerous, they will never succeed."

"What Ming Gong said is extremely true." The two sighed.

"I heard that I had a clever plan to defeat the enemy. Cao, wash my ears and listen." Cao Cao got straight to the point.

"Reported to the Duke Ming, there was a family named Tian in Puyang who was forced by Lu Bu, who accumulated grain and filled the army, and the granaries were empty. Therefore, he felt resentful and wanted to avenge the family. He was willing to open the city gate at night for his internal response." He did not let Xue Lan tell the secret.

"So that's it." Cao Cao was overjoyed. Cao Cao also heard of the Tian family in Puyang. He was rich and heard of Tian Shao, a rich man in Ji State, and he became the same clan. He made a fortune in the peddling of Kang Jingji rice and became the leading grain merchant in Yanzhou. In other words, this man was not a famous family in the right and was a great businessman. He lived in the city for a long time and did not build a fort. Instead, he had no grudge against Cao Mengde.

"Is it feasible?" Cao Cao asked Cheng Li for advice.

"Maybe you can try it." Cheng Li replied.

"How to do it?" Cao Cao asked again. Xun Yu was guarding Zhendu, not by his side. He only relied on Cheng Li's plan.

"As Li Zhengwei said, first take charge of Cheng's clan and attack Dingtao." Cheng Li had already made a decision. Dingtao was the capital of Jiyin County. Lu Bu was the two counties of Chenliu and Jiyin. He would never sit idly by.

"Yes." Cao Cao understood it carefully.

He was afraid that Lu Bu would be shocked. Therefore, Cao Cao came at night and left at night. He still left Xue and Li to guard Juye. In case of precautions, Li Gan led the dead soldiers in Zhongjiao, hiding dormant Xue and Li camp. He was both a supporter and a surveillance.

Cao Cao brought his army to follow the Ji River and attacked the Cheng clan in surprise.

Lu Bu raised his troops and the chaotic troops rose up everywhere. He took the orders of his family and abandoned the city and left. Most of the officials in the city dispersed overnight. Lu Bu and Cao Cao fought each other for a long time and had no time to take care of others. The officials and people were disheartened and everything was abandoned. When Cao Cao led his troops here, the wheat outside the city had not yet been harvested.

"The wheat autumn has passed and it has not been harvested yet. There may be food shortage in the city." Cao Cao made a quick decision: "Cross wheat for the people quickly and enter the city later."
