Chapter 612 Xia Houyuan Runs Away

The independent house meeting ended soon, and everyone who was invited by Chen Gong's screening all expressed their support for his decision.

What Cao Cao did in Yanzhou chilled them.

The Cao family was originally from a family of eunuchs, which was already criticized by people. Last year, they attacked [-] Tumin in Xuzhou, which made everyone tremble.

In addition, the killing of celebrities Bian Rang and others before the expedition completely intensified the conflict between him and the Yanzhou family.

This made people in Yanzhou think that Cao Cao was not the right leader of Yanzhou.

It cannot really be based on their interests.

Now that Chen Gong has rebelled, and Lu Bu suddenly attacked Yanzhou, they are also happy to do favors.

After the meeting was over, everyone returned to their counties and families, and mobilized all their forces to resist Cao Cao.

Chen Gong mobilized all the soldiers and horses in Juancheng and the surrounding area on the grounds of resisting Lv Bu, organized people to transport a large amount of grain and secretly hid the precious metals obtained from the treasury to Puyang.

At this time, Puyang was guarded by Cao Cao's general Xia Houyuan.

Cao Cao was a suspicious person, and when he sent troops to attack Qingzhou, he was also afraid that Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu would trick him, so he kept some troops and generals in Yanzhou.

Dongjun is the place where he started his family, and it is the most important place, so he let Xia Houyuan, a heavyweight general, stay behind.

When Xia Houyuan heard that Lu Bu was attacking, he was also taken aback. For this reason, he specially led 1000 troops to investigate Baima City.

Then run into Lu Bu's vanguard.

Xia Houyuan defeated Cheng Lian first, and almost beheaded Hou Cheng again. Finally, Lu Bu led the cavalry, and Xia Houyuan had to lead the army back to Puyang.

The city of Puyang was strong, and Lu Bu led the army to attack the city rashly and carelessly, but was repelled by Xia Houyuan.

It was the first time since Lu Bu attacked Yanzhou that he was blocked, so he attacked for another day, but was still defended by Xia Houyuan.

Lu Bu's attack failed, and he was in a bad mood. He returned to the barracks and immediately said to his opponent: "Command Gao Shun to bring the trapped camp over immediately. Next time I will definitely capture Puyang and chop off Xia Houyuan's brain."

The men ordered to go to the rear to inform Gao Shun immediately.

The next day, when Lu Bu was waiting for Gao Shun to come and capture Puyang, a report came from his subordinates.

"The general is in trouble. Cao Jun set off from Juancheng to support Puyang. The reinforcements arrived. There are as many as [-] people."

"Damn it! Cao's army is here to help." Lu Bu suddenly became a little anxious. Xia Houyuan was still able to stop his two attacking people with his original strength. Now that there are [-] more troops, I am afraid that Gao Shun will not be easy to fight. Puyang is gone.

The current camp is no better than when he was in Guanzhong. Most of the losses have not been replenished. In addition to running around with him, they have not been well-organized, and their strength has long been worse than before.

Now that Xia Houyuan has [-] more reinforcements, it will be even more difficult to fight.

"My lord, Cao Jun came from Juancheng. If you want to come to Juancheng, it is empty at this time. Why don't we attack Juancheng, take the state capital first, capture Cao Cao and his general's family, and it won't be too late to deal with Xiahouyuan when we come back." General Cao Xing suggested.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this.

That's right, Juancheng's Cao Jun came to support Puyang, and Juancheng must be empty.

At this time, the surprise attack can be won in one fell swoop.

Juancheng is not too far away from Puyang, and it takes less than a day for the Qingqi raid to arrive.

But Lu Bu shook his head and said, "No! Take Puyang first, eat up Dongjun and attack Juancheng."

Lu Bu was naturally good at fighting, not only brave, but also had basic strategies and predictions.

Although Juancheng is close at hand, although it is empty at this time, it does not mean that Juancheng will really be empty when he leads his troops there.

Wouldn't General Cao of Juancheng send troops to other cities and counties around him?

When I arrive at Juancheng, I guess Juancheng will have heavy troops again.

At that time, Juancheng could not be defeated, and Puyang also lost the opportunity to attack. In the end, both ends were empty.

Injuring his ten fingers is worse than cutting off all his fingers. If he takes Puyang, Dongjun will be his.

He and the state army can be supplemented and get basic strategic locations, which can be replenished with food and grass.

Everyone didn't understand, and Lu Bu didn't explain, so most of them felt sorry.

At this moment, someone suddenly came to report: "General, great news! Great news..."

"What's the matter, tell me slowly?" Lu Bu raised his eyebrows slightly, it's possible that Gao Shun has arrived.

The visitor replied excitedly: "General, Puyang City has been opened, Puyang City has been opened, Puyang City has been opened to our army."

"Uh!" Lu Bu and the generals were stunned for a while.

Puyang city opened, isn't this normal?
Xia Houyuan's reinforcements came, and it was normal for him to open the city to welcome them.

But why is it open to our army.

"General, the west gate was opened in Puyang City, and the flags of Cao Jun on the city have fallen, as if they are inviting us to enter the city."

Lu Bu and the generals still couldn't believe it, so they filed out of the tent one after another, and looked up, and sure enough, the west gate of Puyang was wide open, just as what the subordinates reported.

Soon another flying horse entered the camp, came to Lu Bu and the others and hurriedly said, "General! Xia Houyuan led a few troops out of Puyang and fled from the east gate to Juancheng."

"Hmm! Xia Houyuan escaped, why?" Lu Bu wondered.

What the hell is Puyang City doing?

The visitor replied: "General, I don't know. It seems that the Cao army from Juancheng fought with the Cao Cao army from Puyang city. Xia Houyuan was defeated and ran away."

"Hahaha, I know, this is someone who took the initiative to vote for me, wanted to hand over the name certificate, and wanted to sacrifice the heads of the city and Xiahouyuan." Lu Bu muttered narcissistically on the spot, and then his eyes lit up, and he said to Wei Xu: "You lead the troops to take over Puyang. Don’t mess around in the city, it’s fine to take over the city defense, and I’ll talk about other things when I come back.”

After confessing, Lu Bu said to Cheng Lian and Cao Xing, "You two lead the soldiers and follow me to chase Xia Houyuan."

"General..." Wei Xu wanted to ask if this would be a scam. He felt that Lu Bu was too nervous. How could he tell that Cao Jun had joined him? What if someone transferred the tiger away from the mountain and set up an ambush in the city.

It's a pity that at this time Lu Bu happily patted his horse out of the camp, and Cheng Lian, Cao Xing and others led troops to follow Xia Houyuan.

In the end, Wei Xu still did not lead troops into the city to take over Puyang City, but held on to the camp, and when it was dark, Lu Bu led his troops back.

Lu Bu still failed to catch up with Xia Houyuan, and once again missed the opportunity to kill him, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

Xia Houyuan is one of Cao Cao's most fierce generals, and he is good at leading troops to fend off the enemy. If he can't kill him this time, it will be a big problem in the future.

It's a pity that Xia Houyuan wanted to leave, but he couldn't catch up. Although his red rabbit horse ran fast, he was not familiar with Yanzhou's geography, so he couldn't compare to Xia Houyuan who knew the way.

"What's the matter, didn't you tell you to take over Puyang City first?" Lu Bu asked a little unhappy when he saw that Wei Xu was still in the camp and did not go to take over Puyang City.

Wei Xu then expressed his worries, and Lu Bu laughed and said, "Don't worry too much. Xia Houyuan was chased by me and fled in panic. How could he have the intention to ambush him? It's even more impossible to divert the tiger away from the mountain. Follow me into the city. I want to see Who helped me take Puyang City."
