The first thing to be explained is that before Wu Fan fought against Zhang Liao's army, he deliberately removed the flag of the general in order not to let Zhang Liao know that the army was under his command.

Due to the restraint of Qingzhou soldiers' gun attack on the cavalry, more than 2,000 Qingzhou soldiers' gun attacks would inevitably cause great losses to Zhang Liao's army. Based on the battle situation at this time, Wu Fan believed that Zhang Liao would not be too entangled with him after his subordinate troops suffered heavy casualties, but would choose to lead the team to escape.

In this way, the two were spared from meeting each other in front of the formation, which made them less embarrassed. Wu Fan deliberately sat in the army in the formation, rather than immediately in front of the two armies as before.

However, in order to avoid the two of them meeting each other, Wu Fan had many thoughts in advance, but he did not expect that Zhang Liao would be so brave. He even jumped up in a hurry to face the long spear that was thrown over and flew to the Qingzhou Central Army alone. After seeing himself as a commander in the air, he gathered his energy to take a beheading operation!

Zhang Liao flew to the top of the central army, and Wu Fan naturally wanted to look up. When he saw the yellow dragon hook and sickle in Zhang Liao's hand gathering a ray of energy, Wu Fan immediately pulled the shoulder of a Qingzhou soldier beside him back. When the Qingzhou soldier leaned back, the spear in his hand was tilted towards the air at an angle. Wu Fan raised his toes from the bottom of the spear, and the spear in the Qingzhou soldier immediately flew towards Zhang Liao like an arrow leaving the string!

Just as Wu Fan looked up at Zhang Liao, Zhang Liao also saw clearly that the commander was Wu Fan. He was shocked at that time. The hook and sickle that had already waved in his hand subconsciously turned a little. A golden wave of energy flashed in the air, slashing one meter behind Wu Fan's horse, and was buried more than half a meter!

However, at the same time as Zhang Liao deflected the blade, the spear that Wu Fan picked up had arrived quickly. Zhang Liao hurriedly turned sideways, but it was too late. The spear still stabbed into his right shoulder, splashing a cluster of blood!

In fact, if Zhang Liao did not deflect the blade when he just swung his sword, the spear that Wu Fan provoked would hit the body of the hook and sickle in his hand. The two forces collided, which would naturally deflect the blade. It was precisely because Zhang Liao deflected the blade and did not want to hurt Wu Fan, which caused himself to be injured.

Wu Fan was shocked when he saw this, and quickly flew up, flashed the dragon E in his hand across his chest, and pressed the hook and sickle of Zhang Liao in mid-air. At this time, the two were almost close together, and the Qingzhou soldiers below were led by Zhang Liao and the heavy cavalry broke in. There was no sound of the conversation between the two.

Here, Wu Fan said hurriedly:

"General Zhang Wen, why did he deflect the blade and get injured?"

Zhang Liao looked at Wu Fan with a complicated expression, lowered his head and said:

"It's because Zhang's force is not as strong as General Wu!"

Speaking of this, the two men had lost the power to rise into the air and were falling rapidly. Zhang Liao stretched out his hand and pushed Wu Fan's shoulder. The two men separated in the air, and each took the counter-thrust force to turn over in the air and fell back to their respective troops.

After Wu Fan fell back to the ground, he deliberately staggered back a few steps and pretended to be injured. The guards Zheng Long, Deng Xiu and many other soldiers came forward to support Wu Fan and asked about his injuries.

The general's injuries were not clear, so the soldiers naturally could not attack the enemy easily. Zhang Liao took this opportunity to retreat under the protection of his heavy cavalry.

Wu Fan then stood up straight and silently looked at the direction where Zhang Liao's heavy cavalry retreated, and was speechless for a long time.

This matter was too harsh. All his preparations beforehand were in vain. In the end, the two of them met, and Zhang Liao was hurt because he didn't want to hurt him. Alas, it's really better than God's.

After a little annoyed, a soldier came to report that Lord Zhuge Jin was injured under the impact of the heavy cavalry just now. Wu Fan then left his resentment and rushed to Zhuge Jin to heal his wounds.

Next, the Lu Bu army collapsed due to the retreat of the temporary general Zhang Liao and retreated to Puyang City. Cao Cao immediately ordered the entire army to follow Lu Bu's army into Puyang City, and the two sides fought fiercely in the alley.

Half an hour later, Lu Bu entered the city from the south gate with his wounds. Seeing that Puyang City was full of Cao soldiers, Lu Bu was unwilling to fight again. Although Chen Gong advised that there were still institutions in the city that were not used, once triggered, Cao's army would suffer heavy casualties. However, Lu Bu did not adopt Chen Gong's suggestion on the grounds that these institutions would also hurt his army and could not defend Puyang at all. After meeting with his generals, Lu Bu and his family took advantage of the chaos to escape at the north gate and headed towards the Yellow River.

(The Battle of Puyang is reduced by about one-third from the original idea. Chongjia feels that the novel has been written so far, and it seems that it is a bit too focused on the description of war. I wonder how everyone feels, Chongjia feels a little tired. Chongjia plans to write more other aspects in the future. If you have any good suggestions on this, please leave a message in the book review area)

Puyang was finally recaptured by Cao's army, and Xiahou Dun finally did not have to be embarrassed to be a prefect of namelessness. The most happy person to regain Puyang was naturally the one who was happy. Xiahou Dun, who had always been as indifferent as water in terms of human nature, bowed to the generals of the Cao army one by one for the first time this time, especially Wu Fan, the first hero in this battle, who was even more grateful.

In this battle in Puyang, Wu Fan successfully led Lu Bu, completed the plan to lure the enemy, and defeated Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, and naturally received the most military achievements, at 1,527 points. At present, Wu Fan's total achievements are 13,259 points, and there are still 1,741 points away from the fourth-rank official.

At present, all the highest official positions of all military generals under Cao Cao are Wu Fan: General of Military Advisor and Fifth-rank official. This is also the highest official position that Cao Cao can grant. Cao Cao himself was granted by Emperor Xian to the Five-Secret General of the Central Army, and belongs to the fourth-rank official.

The next step was to complete the work after the war. After several days, under the leadership of Boss Cao, the generals worked together. Puyang City quickly emerged from the post-war ruins, and the military and political index, which had dropped significantly due to the destruction of the war, also improved to a certain extent.

During this process, someone discovered that many traps, secret doors, nails and other work items were set up in Puyang City. Fortunately, it was not launched at that time, otherwise the Cao army would suffer considerable losses. When Cao Cao was glad with the generals, Guo Jia proposed that the design of these work items was not ordinary craftsmen. Cao Cao agreed deeply, so he ordered people to inquire about it and finally found that the designer of these work items was a fifteen-year-old young man named Liu Ye and his courtesy name was Ziyang.

Can design drawings of the agency at the age of fifteen? Cao Cao immediately realized that Liu Ye must not be simple, so he immediately ordered Cheng Yu to go to Shouchun with a generous gift to make friends with Liu Ye's family, and to invest in emotionally in advance for the future in order to take this person under the account.

There are so many idle things, and I won’t go into details.

However, the day after Cao's army regained Puyang City, Xu You, a civil servant under Yuan Shao, who was an old acquaintance with Cao Cao, went to Luoyang to meet Emperor Xian on the order of Yuan Shao, and visited Cao Cao by the way. During the chat, Xu You revealed that Lu Bu is currently leading his soldiers and generals to form a wandering army again, stationed near Ande Port where Yuan Shao governs the city plain, and sent letters to Yuan Shao, intending to defect to Yuan Shao's army.

After Xu You left, Cao Cao urgently summoned all the generals to discuss: Yuan Shao has now occupied the five cities of Nanpi, Ye, Pingyuan, Jinyang, and Shangdang. His troops are extremely powerful. Getting help from Lu Bu is like adding wings. At this moment, how can our army stop Lu Bu from surrendering to Yuan Shao's army?

Everyone discussed for a while, and Wu Fan said:

"You can make one of the dead people pretend to pass through Andegang from Pingyuan (the city where Yuan Shao is located) and return to Puyang. He put a fake letter on his body, and said in Yuan Shao that he was waiting for Lu Bu to come to the door and then killed him. He was deliberately caught by Lu Bu's army, and used this letter to deceive Lu Bu and prevent him from joining Yuan Shao."

After hearing this, Cao Cao was overjoyed and immediately ordered someone to prepare. After some screening, Cao Xiu recommended a guard under him. He was very clever and extremely filial to others. However, the family was bitter and cold, and he often shed tears whenever he thought of his parents at home.

Cao Cao promised to use the guard's five hundred gold to place his parents at home. The guard knelt down and cried and thanked him. Then he took a fake letter and went to Hebei.

After the guard left, Wu Fan also walked out of the main palace hall, looking at the direction of Hebei, and thought to himself:
