Because Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son fooled Lu Bu, Cao Cao easily obtained four of the six counties in Xuzhou, but Pi Guangling was still in Lu Bu's hands.

The destruction of Lu Bu was right in front of him, and Cao Cao was very happy. Liu Bei first gathered Zhang Fei and Guan Hai outside Xuzhou City, and then gathered Mi Zhu in Xuzhou City. He also was overjoyed when he learned that his family was safe and his family was small. He would not mention that his family was young. As long as Zhang Fei and Guan Hai were two powerful generals and Mi Zhu, the wise man, were still there, he would still have the capital to make a comeback.

Cao Cao held a banquet to reward him in Xuzhou City, and both Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son were rewarded.

After two days of rest, Cao Cao led his troops to Xia Pi again, trying to completely solve Lu Bu.

Cao Cao's 180,000 troops were almost unharmed, and more than 20,000 troops were killed by Chen Gui and Chen Deng, and a total of 200,000 troops were killed in Xia Pi.

Lu Bu was much more miserable. He had originally accepted the soldiers left over from Yang Feng and Han Xian's death. With more than a year of development, there had been nearly 100,000 troops, but Chen Gui and Chen Deng, his son, led more than 20,000 people from Yang Feng and Han Xian's troops to rebel and surrender to Cao. Yu Xiaopei and Chen Gong killed each other and suffered more than 10,000 losses, and broke through Xuzhou City to Xia Pi. Lu Bu only had 50,000 soldiers left at this moment.

With 50,000 to Cao Cao and 200,000, Lu Bu is at an absolute disadvantage. No matter how brave he is, his strength alone cannot change such a huge gap in overall strength.

Lu Bu and Diao Chan and other wives and concubines drank to relieve their sorrows.

Two days later, Cao Cao's army of 200,000 came to Xia Pi, and Lu Bu confronted Cao Cao on the city wall.

Cao Cao told Lu Bu: I heard that Fengxian wanted to get married again, Yuan Shu, so I led the troops here. Yuan Shu claimed to be the emperor and had a serious crime of treason. Fengxian once killed Dong Zhuo and made great contributions to the country. Why did he give up his previous achievements and submit to the rebels? If Xia Pi City was destroyed, it would be too late to regret it. It would be better to surrender early and support the Han Dynasty with me. We should not lose the position of title of marquis. Fengxian thought about it.

In fact, Lu Bu had long regretted marrying Yuan Shu. After hearing the tricks of Chen Gui and Chen Deng and his son, he took Yuan Shu's envoys to take Xu Du to behead Cao Cao. At that time, Yuan Shu was so powerful that Lu Bu regretted marrying. Now Yuan Shu has shrunk south of the Huai River, with less than 100,000 soldiers, and even Sun Ce can't defeat him. How could Lu Bu still want to send his daughter to marry him?

This was just an excuse Cao Cao had made to attack Xuzhou.

Lu Bu didn't explain, and the explanation was meaningless. He only moved Cao Cao's surrender and considered whether he could surrender Cao. He said to Cao Cao: Prime Minister, please retreat first, let me discuss and discuss what to do?

On the side, Chen Gong also knew Cao Cao's excuses, and he knew that even if Lu Bu surrendered to Cao, he would never end well. What's more, he had vowed to destroy Cao Cao, and he would not be able to let Lu Bu surrender to Cao.

Before Cao Cao could express his opinion, Chen Gong angrily scolded Cao Cao and said: "Tracist, who are you? I know best. Don't be here to speak cleverly and look at the arrows! After that, Chen Gong went to Cao with an arrow.

Cao Cao flashed past and pointed at Chen Gong angrily: I swear to kill you!

So Cao's army began to attack the city.

Lu Bu couldn't defend himself, so Cao's army could not break the city.

At night, Cao's army stopped siege, and Lu Bu asked Chen Gong: Gongtai, what kind of grudge do you have with Cao Cao, and why are you like that?

This sentence shows that Lu Bu really wanted to surrender to Cao. After all, the six counties in Xuzhou have lost four of them, and Guangling will definitely be difficult to defend. At that time, only Pi is left, and it is difficult to support it alone. Surrendering to Cao may preserve its strength and plan for the future.

Chen Gong sneered: General wants to surrender Cao? Don’t you know that Cao Cao attacked the general on the grounds that the general wanted to get married again and Yuan Shu and was accused of rebels. Even if the general surrendered, Cao Cao gave the emperor an explanation that Lu Bu was a villain and could not be trusted. Moreover, what Lu Bu did in recent years was indeed not a credible person, why did his elder brother insist on subdue him?

Liu Yu explained: The one I want to subdue most is not Lu Bu, but his loyal Zhang Liao Gaoshun, and Chen Gong. These three people are all talents. It was because of these three people that Lu Bu could occupy Xuzhou and become a confidant of Cao Cao over the years. Lu Bu also had his role. Not to mention his invincible courage, he followed Ding Yuan to suppress the Huns and was very familiar with the terrain outside the border. If I want to attack the Huns, Lu Bu could definitely defeat tens of thousands of soldiers.

Zhao Yun nodded and no longer had any questions.

Although Lu Bu drank alcohol all day long to relieve his sorrows, the city was defended by Zhang Liao Gaoshun, which still made the Cao army unable to break through for a long time. Cao Cao gradually became in short supply of food and grass. He followed Xun Yu and Cheng Yu's plan and decided that the water of the Yi River and Si River flooded the Xia Pi city.

When the flood came, Cao's army had already retreated to a high place. Three of the four gates of Xia Pi City were flooded.

The soldiers came to report, and Lu Bu was furious: Cao thieves bullied me too much! I had a red rabbit horse, crossing the water was like a flat ground, what's the point? Take our heavenly halberd!

Suddenly, I saw myself in the bronze mirror, and looked haggard and decadent because of excessive drinking and color all day long.

Lu Bu gritted his teeth. How could he do this in his heroic life? Then he overturned the Taiwanese and drank all the wine on the ground. He said: From today on, I will quit drinking and swear to fight with Cao Thief to the end.

Without mentioning that Lu Bu was cheering up again, he ordered that no drinking be allowed in the city, and those who violated the orders were killed.

Guanzhong, Chang'an City.
