When Cao Cao heard that his father had been killed by Lu Zhuang, the whole army was prepared to attack Lu Zhuang and avenge his father. In addition, Cao Cao coveted Diaochan, and he could get Diaochan if he shot Xuzhou. But the officials were very worried that Yuan Shao would sneak attack Xu Du from behind, and it would be very dangerous to move forward and lose the city.
Guo Jia argued against the crowd and said: "Yuan Shao is now focusing on Jizhou. He is fighting with Gongsun Zan and will not care about Xu Du. Moreover, Yuan Shao has always been indecisive and will not react quickly."
After listening to Guo Jia's words, Cao Cao safely led an army of 100,000 to attack Xuzhou.
When Lu Zhuang saw Cao Cao coming to attack, he panicked and didn't know what to do.
General Gao Shun suggested to Lu Zhuang, "The military division Chen Gong is resourceful, why not invite the military division Chen Gong."
Lv Zhuang immediately sent someone to invite Chen Gong to apologize to Chen Gong.
Chen Gong didn't care about that much, and suggested to Lu Zhuang, "Cao Cao is coming fiercely, and our army is a major general. We are definitely not an opponent of Cao's army. It is better to stick to the city and exhaust the enemy. We will find a way to defeat the enemy. "
Lu Zhuang was overjoyed when he heard it, and thought that there was no need to worry about it, and he was very happy.
Cao Cao led his army to camp under the city. Seeing that Lu Zhuang's army had not been out of the city, he was very anxious, so he thought of leading his army to attack the city directly. Guo Jia discouraged: "Xuzhou City has thick walls, and direct attacks on the city will cause heavy losses. It is better to surround Xuzhou City to disrupt the military spirit. Moreover, Lu Zhuang is arrogant and extravagant in Xuzhou City, and the people complain and mourn. Over time, Xuzhou City will be in chaos, so that we can take Xuzhou at the least cost."
Cao Cao very much agreed with Guo Jia's suggestion and surrounded the city of Xuzhou.
There is less and less food in Xuzhou, and many people can't eat it anymore. However, Lv Zhuang still lives every day, living an extremely luxurious life.
Chen Gong couldn't stand it anymore. He discouraged Lu Zhuang and said, "Xuzhou is now in crisis. Many soldiers can't eat enough, but the lord lives extravagantly every day. It is inevitable that everyone will be chilled. I hope that the lord can share the joys and sorrows with everyone and boost morale."
Lu Zhuang was ashamed when he heard it, but Asan said to the side: "How can those grass folks be compared with the lord."
Chen Gong was very angry when he heard it, and yelled, "You scumbag, encourage the principal to do bad things every day. You should have died." After speaking, he greeted the soldiers to come forward, dragged Ah San out and slashed. Lu Zhuang quickly dissuaded him, and Chen Gong retreated discouragedly.
Lu Zhuang was so muddled for half a month, and the situation in the city became even worse. Lu Zhuang was also worried.
Asan said to Lu Zhuang: Rather than just sit and wait for death, it is better to send a general to attack Cao Ying. This way, there may be some hope and victory. "
Lu Zhuang had nothing to do, thinking that this was also a way, so he immediately sent a general with a high rate of 10,000 horses to challenge.
Cao Cao saw that someone from Lu Jun came to challenge him, so he asked loudly, "Who wants to fight?" General Xu Chu immediately rode out of the battle. After a month in the barracks, he was suffocated by Xu Chu. Seeing that there was finally a battle to be fought, he couldn't wait to leave the battle. .
Cao Cao allocated 10,000 people to Xu Chu to fight. Both Xu Chu and Gao Shun are battle-tested veterans with both strength and wisdom.
Immediately after the battle, Xu Chu waved the Huoyun Knife and slashed towards Gao Shun. Gao Shun dodged behind him. It was very thrilling. As long as he hesitated a little, his head was half-divided. Gao Shun lifted the halberd and stabbed at Xu Chu. Xu Chu was shocked and dodged to the left, thinking that it was dangerous. He didn't expect Gao Shun to pull the halberd so fast, it seemed that he underestimated the enemy. Xu Chu and Gao Shun slashed at each other. Suddenly, Gao Shun changed direction and stabbed Xu Chu's horse. Xu Chu's horse died and fell down. Xu Chu quickly jumped off his horse and was almost crushed by the horse.
Xu Chu became angry and slashed Gao Shun's mount to death, and the two started fighting on foot. Xu Chu tried too hard, staggered and almost fell. Gao Shun looked at the opportunity and stabbed him. It's dangerous! As soon as he stabbed Xu Chu's armor, Xu Chu hid him. Xu Chu fought back, Gao Shun was not as strong as Xu Chu after all, and he backed away one after another.
Gao Shun's lieutenant saw that the situation was not good, so he marched forward. Cao Jun also covered and killed him. Cao Cao sent Xiahou Dun and led an army of 20,000 to rush over. It seemed that Cao Cao wanted to kill Gao Shun's 10,000. However, what Cao Cao did not expect was that among the 10,000 people in Gaoshun, 700 warriors were known to be "in the camp" and were extremely powerful in combat. Under the desperate protection of the trapped camp, Gao Shun fled back to Xuzhou City. This battle lost 3,000 people, but Cao Cao lost 4,000 people and drew a tie. Lu Zhuang was very happy to see that Gao Shun was playing well, and asked Gao Shun to go out of the city tomorrow to kill Cao Jun's power.
Seeing Gao Shun's courage and strategy, Cao Cao said to Cao Cao that Gao Shun was an obstacle for our army to attack Xuzhou. Tomorrow's battle would allow Yu Jin to lead him into the woods and capture him, and Xuzhou City would be within easy reach.
On the second day, Gao Shun went out of the city to challenge again, and Cao Cao sent his army to fight. Yu Jin and Gao Shun fought for more than a dozen rounds, then pretended to fail and fled. Gao Shun chased after him, chasing a forest, Gao Shun yelled badly, knowing that he was hit, and immediately went back to the horse and drove back. But it was too late. As soon as Gao Shun returned to the horse, the horse tripped over the rope and fell off himself. He was caught by the ambush Cao army and escorted to Cao Cao's camp.
Cao Cao met Gao Shun and knew that Gao Shun was a rare talent, so he said, "He is a hero in the world, why not be loyal to the Han Dynasty, why bother to commit himself to a traitor." "
Gao Shun sneered and said: "Your name is Hanchen, you are really a Han thief. I am Gao Shun, a courtier of the Lu family, how can I betray my lord, don't talk nonsense, my heart is determined, kill me."
Cao Cao felt very sorry, and said: "Lu Zhuang is a mediocre master. He knows every day that eating, drinking and having fun will harm the people of Xuzhou, so I hope to consider it."
Gao Shun sighed, and said, "I have decided, so let's say more, kill me."
Cao Cao had no choice but to let the soldiers drag Gao Shun out and kill him. Gao Shun's death is a pity. Gao Shun was innocent and majestic, not good at drinking, and loyal to the Lu family. He did not expect that he would end up at the hands of Cao Cao.
Seeing that Gao Shun’s head was hung on the flagpole of Cao Cao’s camp, the soldiers and civilians in Xuzhou were very afraid, and the hearts of the army and the people became more unstable.
Lu Zhuang has lost his fighting spirit and only drinks for fun every day. Chen Gong repeatedly dissuaded him, but Lu Zhuang just refused to listen. Chen Gong knew that Xuzhou City would soon be unsafe, but there was no way, Lv Zhuang couldn't live up to it.
Guan Yu, who guarded Fancheng, was very anxious when he heard that Cao Cao had attacked Xuzhou. Guan Yu was not worried about Xuzhou City, but Diao Chan in Xuzhou City. Since seeing Diao Chan in Xuzhou that year, Guan Yu has been obsessed with Diao Chan. Now that Cao Cao is attacking Xuzhou, Lu Zhuang is naturally not Cao Cao's opponent. Sooner or later, Xuzhou City will fall. Cao Cao likes to occupy other people's wives after occupying cities.
When Wancheng was defeated that year, Cao Cao immediately occupied Zhang Xiu's aunt, which led to Zhang Xiu's rebellion. Cao Cao put his eldest son and strong general Dianwei in it, but still did not get rid of this problem.
Guan Yu wanted Diaochan to be as beautiful as a flower, and Cao Cao would definitely not let Diaochan go. After thinking about it, Guan Yu handed over the defense of Fancheng to Zhou Cang, and rode to Xiangyang overnight to meet Liu Bei.
Liu Bei thought there was something urgent, so he hurriedly let people pass Liu Xun, Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, Chen Dao and others to discuss the matter.
Guan Yu said to Liu Bei: "Brother, I heard that Cao Cao has already attacked Xuzhou, and Lu Zhuang's general Gao Shun has also been beheaded. Then Xuzhou will be captured soon."
Liu Bei said: "Yes, Lu Zhuang is not Cao Cao's opponent at all, but Xuzhou is far away from us, and we will not be affected.
Guan Yu said, "But...but..."
Seeing Guan Yu wanting to say something but stopping, it was confusing to see that Guan Yu's face was even redder than before.
Zhang Fei thought for a while, as if he understood a little bit, he laughed and said: "The second brother is not thinking about Diaochan. Back then, in Xuzhou, I knew that the second brother was interested in Diaochan. This is all my family, so what's the embarrassment to say. "
After everyone heard it, they all laughed. It turned out that Guan Yu was thinking about Diaochan. This surprised everyone. Everyone knows that Guan Yu is usually arrogant, but he misses a woman in his heart. Then again, after all, Diao Chan is the most beautiful woman in the world, no man is tempted.
"We are far from Xuzhou, and we can't beat Cao Cao. How can we save Diao Chan?" Zhao Yun expressed his worries.
"Big brother think about a way to save Diaochan. You can't just watch Diaochan be occupied by the thief." Guan Yu was anxious.
But is there any good way? Everyone is talking about it, even if you want to save it, you can't save it.
"Hahaha, hahaha..." There was a hearty laughter in the hall suddenly, and everyone looked at it and it turned out to be the son of Liu Xun.
After Liu Xun heard Guan Yu's request, he felt at first that it was impossible to rescue Diaochan. Our army has just occupied Xiangyang. It is based on maintaining stability. Except for the troops guarding various places, only 30 or 40 thousand people can be dispatched. Such an army can't beat Cao Cao. Besides, Xuzhou is far away from Xiangyang, how to fight. but. Liu Xun changed his mind and thought that he could sneak into Xuzhou City quietly and wait for the opportunity without any hard work.
After making up his mind, Liu Xun said, "It turns out that my second uncle is also a man of temperament, understanding and understanding. It is not impossible to rescue Diao Chan. Now that we have trained white-eared soldiers, I can lead thirty white-eared soldiers and sneak into Xuzhou as a merchant. The city, waiting for the opportunity, will surely be able to rescue Diaochan."
Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard that, and also went with Liu Xun.
Seeing Guan Yu's eagerness to save Diaochan, Liu Bei readily agreed.
Early the next morning, Liu Xun and Guan Yu led 30 white-eared soldiers to Xuzhou City to rescue Diao Chan...
