When he arrived at the camp of the Central Army, as soon as he entered the camp, a person hurriedly walked out. Wu Fan looked closely and found that it was Sima Lang. He looked at the camp where this person belonged to Liu Bei's army.

Wu Fan and Sima Lang had no friendship. The two hurriedly walked away to meet each other, nodded to say hello, and then one entered the camp and the other left the camp.

On the way to the Central Army's tent, Wu Fan thought to himself: Liu Bei is quite capable and can actually get Sima Lang, who is much worse than him, to his subordinates. Well, this person is an absolute disaster, this is true in history, and in the current world!

At this time, Wu Fan didn't know that Liu Bei secretly bribed Guo Tu to frame him, otherwise he would not have had such a light comment on Liu Bei.

When he thought about this, Wu Fan had already walked into the Central Army's tent.

In the big tent, most of the generals and officials had arrived, and were listed on both sides according to their identities. Cao Cao was behind the Zheng Case. He put a letter in his hand on the table and said to everyone:

"Liu Bei is very ignorant and arrogant. He actually sent someone to send a letter to ask our army to withdraw. He also said that there are currently three troops in Xuzhou, Tao Qian and Kong Rong, and our army has no way to resist. He is really ignorant. Does he think that the number of people is the one who fights?"

Liu Bei is far inferior to Cao Cao's military use. He currently has no strong military advisor. It is reasonable to ask Cao Cao to withdraw his troops on such a reason in the letter.

Xiahou Dun left the stint:

"Meng De, Da Er bullies our army too much! I am willing to lead our troops to take Xiaopei where he stationed his troops and put his nest to see what he has to say!"

After hearing Xiahou Dun's words, Cao Cao frowned, but did not express his opinion immediately.

With Cao Cao's current mood, he also wanted to send troops to teach Liu Bei a lesson immediately. However, he was concerned about the movements of Sun Jian's army in Shouchun, so Cao Cao could not act rashly. Otherwise, Cao's army would be in a dilemma of being attacked from both sides.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the tent, and a guard came in to report to Cao Cao: There was a serious injury to Puyang incoming commander to ask for a visit.

Cao Cao was stunned when he heard this and quickly ordered the messenger to come in. The next moment, a messenger covered in blood, had a torn clothes and was disheveled, stumbled in, and fell to the ground with a plop, saying to Cao Cao:

"Sir! Puyang... was captured!"

"What?!!"

Cao Cao suddenly stood up from behind the commander's case and said angrily:

"Who actually attacked my Puyang?!!"

At this time, Xiahou Dun even came to the commander to advance and called the commander to tell the message quickly. After all, he was the prefect of Puyang. Puyang had any mistakes, so his losses were undoubtedly the greatest.

The messenger said:

"It's Chen Gong... no, it's Puyang attacked by Lu Bu. But it's the city gate that Chen Gong and Zhang Miao have opened."

When Wu Fan heard this, he thought to himself: Chen Gong, who was sick, was at home and ignored government affairs for many days. It turned out that he had such an attempt!

Then he thought that the development of the actual situation seemed to be deliberately moving towards the trajectory of history. For example, Dong Zhuo died under Lu Bu's hands before, and Liu Bei, for example, was stationed by Xiaopei at the request of Tao Qian's reinforcements, and now Chen Gong and Zhang Miao, assisted Lu Bu in capturing Puyang.

After coming to this world, I seem to have changed a lot, but in fact, all I can influence is my butterfly. Historical events are almost exactly the same, still following the historical trajectory.

However, it seems that this is not bad, at least I can do it before these major events.

When Cao Cao heard this, he became more confused and confused:

"Didn't Lu Bu lead the crowd to surrender to the emperor? How could he appear in Puyang? Could it be that the emperor ordered him to send troops to attack Puyang?!"

The messenger said:

"It is rumored that the emperor failed to agree to Lu Bu's surrender because of the advice of a minister in the court, but only exempted him from his crime. Therefore, Lu Bu led his generals and soldiers to wander around. A few days ago, after Chen Gong and Zhang Miao persuaded him, he took advantage of the situation to attack Puyang as a base. At present, Lu Bu is preparing for troops in Puyang and has the potential to attack Chenliu."

The endorsement of the book: This "certain minister" is Wang Yun. Because he was worried that Lu Bu would pose a threat to Emperor Xian's life and property at any time, he advised Emperor Xian not to keep Lu Bu by his side.

After hearing this, Cao Cao said angrily:

"Chen Gong, Zhang Miao! I have never treated you very much. Now, you have made such an ungrateful villain. It is impossible to eliminate the hatred in my heart if you don't kill me!"

Cheng Yu stepped forward and said:

"Lord, Chenliu is the place where our army raises its troops. After a long period of operation, the people's hearts will be stable. You must not make any mistakes. The lord needs to lead troops back to the rescue as soon as possible."

Cao Cao sighed:

"Don't I know the reason? However, although Pengcheng is a small county town, it is not easy to get. I just give it to others like this, and I feel unwilling to accept it!"

Wu Fan thought about it and said:

"Lord, you can write a letter to Liu Bei, give Pengcheng to Liu Bei, and sell him a favor. In the letter, he said that our army had a feud with Sun Jian's army, and intended to fight Sun Jian with Liu Bei, secretly providing him with money and food to support him. Although Liu Bei would not believe in the sincerity of our army's alliance with him, his ambition was in Xuzhou and would not allow Sun Jian to get involved in this place. With the support of our army, he would naturally fight against Sun Jian. After our army regained Puyang, it would not be too late to visit Xuzhou again!"

All the generals nodded and agreed with this. Cao Cao thought about it and felt that this plan was the best strategy, so he decided to do what Wu Fan said.

This time, the delivery mission required a man who was good at speaking and distinguishing so as not to be speechless after being troubled by Liu Bei. Cao Cao looked around and asked who could take on this task. Cheng Yu took the initiative to take on the task.

Afterwards, Cao Cao ordered everyone to go back to their own camps immediately, and after lunch, he set up his troops and led his troops to Puyang!

To put it short, after lunch, all Cao's army set off camp and set off on the way back to Puyang.

Unlike when he came, Xiahou Dun took the initiative to ask for the vanguard this time, and Cao Cao agreed. Therefore, the marching force was led by Xiahou Dun's army in front, and Wu Fan's army was responsible for supporting it in the middle, and Cao Cao was still at the end. Each unit was about thirty miles apart and walked in sequence.

Because the people of Xuzhou have a high centripetal towards Wu Fan, many Pengcheng residents went out of the city to see him off after learning that Wu Fan had led his army to leave. It was also hot and some residents even carried teapots to pour a bowl of them for passing soldiers to relieve the heat and quench their thirst.

The scene is very touching.

...

There was nothing to say along the way. Five days later, the Xiahou Dun army, the vanguard of Cao's army, had entered Dongping County, Puyang's territory. After a lightning siege, and with the small number of Dongping defenders, only more than 2,000 people, Xiahou Dun army successfully recaptured Dongping as the first stronghold for Cao's army to counterattack Puyang.

Then, Wu Fan's army and Cao Cao's army arrived one after another. After setting up camp outside Dongping County, Wu Fan and Cao Cao ordered their subordinates to order their troops to return to Xuchang and Chenliu to transport some military funds and grain. After all, Cao's army has been on the expedition for nearly a month and urgently needs money and grain to supplement them.

While Wu Fan asked Xuchang to transport money and grain, he also specifically pointed out that Cao Ren led a team of cavalry to join the war. As for the garrison in Xuchang, Wu Fan sent Lu Dai back to replace Cao Ren's work.

Puyang is only a hundred miles away from Chenliu, which poses a great threat to Cao Cao's backyard. Cao Cao will definitely fight quickly in this battle and cannot be delayed for a long time. Needless to say, the bravery of the enemy's chief general Lu Bu, there are also famous generals like Zhang Liao and Gao Shun under his command.
